SHE ACCOUNTS FOR HER MONEY Bnt the Defense Puts in Some Evi- dence That May Oanse the Girl No End of Trouble. Rose Anderson’s Case. Rose Androson, who is accused of system- atically robbing Edward Maurer, a Farnam street saloonist and restauranteur, while in his employ as a domestic, was on trial before Judge Groft yestorday in the district court for the crime. Emma Procoska, a small, blonde Bohemian widow, was the first witness calied to testify in behalf of Rose Andreson. As Emma held up her right hand to be sworn, the large fin- ger peeped through a hole in her black glove. She bocame acquainted with Rose at the em- ployment agency of Mrs. Gebhart on Elev- enth street about one year ago. Mrs. Geb- hart had secured Rosca placs, “I went there shortly aftorwards to work, One day Rose came 1o call on her, The lady was not in and 1 entertained her. Since then we have been friends.” Emma said that after their first meeting she frequently called on Rose at 1d Maurer's, “One day, while 1 was there,” continued the witness, **Rose received a letter containing €00 which was sent up stairs to heron the kitchen elevator.” 'The little vomar was very positive about seeing this mtor. also that it contained money. “I saw o $100 bills and soveral twenties.! The revelation made here came_very noar precipitating a sceno, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Shoa asked the prisoner’s attorneys 10 produce the lotter, wherenpon the latter accused him or his client of having secured and supprossed it. Shea got aungry and was on his feet fustantly. Defendant’s counsel declared that they would be very glad to have the letter pro- duced. Shea declared that he knew nothing of such a letter and commenced rather a severo attack upon_ the opposing lawyers, when Judge Groff firmly squelched the whole busi- ness, The witness further testified that Miss Audreson received two or three letters after the first-mentioned one containing money. They all came from Chicago. Rose herself was finally put on the witnoss stand, *Iam ninetoon years past,” was the reply she gave to a question regarding age. “My mother died when I was eight years old. My father then went to Germany, mar- ried and is now living there.” She went to work for Mr. Maurer Avril 3, 1883, got §3 a week and saved 1t nearly all, In her story of the arrest and search made by Oficer Whalen, H. J. Davis and Ed. Maurer through ber effects for money; she suid: “When they came in, I was upon a chair washing windows i tne hall, back of the dining room. Whalen said to me: ‘Come here, [want you; I have a search warrant I stood in front of him while The warrant called for any checks or certificates my possession. After Whalen, Davis and Maurer had rummaged every one of my boxes and my trunk, Dayis called me into another room and said: ‘Rose, you had better confess. We have seen the other girl and she has told us every- thing. Ttwill go easier with you to tell us how much money you have stolen from Mr. Maurer. Hecan ‘send youto the peniten- itiary for life.) " In'the conversation, it appears that Davis asked her, threateningly, whether she knew how much money she had in her possession, 1 said yes,” the witness replied, ‘‘and told him that the night before I had put $110, in a roll of greenbacks, 1nto the bank.” After being told by Davis, who, in the meantime, haa said to her that he was a de- tective employed by Maurer, that she could beOsent to jail, Rose broko down and commenced crying bitterly. While excited and nervous, Davis asked her to sign 8 paper, which, he said, would square every- thing between her and Mauer. He tried two or three times to'bulldoze her into stating that eome of the waiteis and bartenders downstairs were implicated in taking the money. . Charley Hiler, her lover, is a young farmer living noar Tabor, 1a. They were to have been married the first of this month. “Rose, did: you ever steal a dollar of money from EQ Maurer!” asked her attor- ney. pesl never stolo a dollar fn my life from any- 'my‘ much did you have here when ar- 'Nineteen hundred and forty-three dollars and forty cents.” The most of this small fortune came to Miss Andreson, she says, from relatives back east. The letter containng $500 refer- red to by Emma Procoska, was sent by rela- tives living in Chicago, as' principal and in- terest in payment on notes. This she put in the bunk. The prisoner f‘lvfl n accounting of the money found by Whalen, Davis and Maurer in her wardrobe. The two notes, she said, were on ber aunts living in_Chicago. One calied for $400 and the other $300. Then she had $35 wage,s 5 sent to her from her twvin r, $6, that wus the gift of Charley Hiler’ ter, while on her death bed, and $3 given to her by Mrs. Maurer, as a birthday present. Thne money loaned by her to rela- tives she got from her father in the old country. The ofticers and Maurer took from her in all when she was arrested about $3,000. She 18 churged in the indictment, however, of stealing only $110. On cross-oxamination Miss Andreson testi- fled that the aunts in Chicago have ‘invested in a flat over 2,000 of her money, loaned to them. The flats are located at 364 Wost Madison street. s uncle, & dry goods merchant in Springtield, 111, also has nearly $1,000 of ler money. ‘After being lodged in the police station Maurer and the officers, she says, took pos- session of her letters, retained parts of some of them and returncd the balance. Ofticer Whinlen also testitied that he as well ®s Davis tried to make her confess. In the afternoon Rose stated that while sho ‘was talking to Police Oficer Whalen, when he had read the warrant, she told him that there was no one in with her; that the money belonged to her individually. She was much excited, for everybody around her was talking about their sympathy in sceing her go to the penitentiary, The prison scemed to be a nightmare in her fright, and she said to Mrs. Maurer, “Oh, my God, if I have done anything wron, e me.”! Rosa denied th he asked Mr. Maurer to ve her, or that she told Lawyer Davis L t she was sorry for what she had done. Her father, she stated, lived in Germany. Bhe knew thut he was married, and that is allshe knew about him. When she first came to Omaha sho asked Mrs. Maurer which was the safest bank”in town in which _ to make deposits. Mrs, Maurer recom- + mended ono of the financial institutions, and Rose wmado ber first deposit, but it was made 0 another bank. Duriug her examivation Rose was very impertinent and was quite saucy to the proso- outing attorney.

It is probable that the defense and the prosecution will get through in time for the case to go to the jury by noon to-day. M. A. Disbrow & Co., commenced action against S, C.

NOKWAY'S NtGHTINGALE, Arrival of Jenny Lind's Great Succes- sor in Omaha Last night. The eminent Mdlle Aona Smith, “Nor- way's nightingale,” arrive last night via tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy at 7 o'clock. She will sojourn at the Paxton hotel, where parlors.23 and 24 were specially decorated and reserved for her. It is safe to assert on the testimony of the ablest critics that few, if any concert singers of the present age sur puss her as a soprano, Her triumphs in Cen- tral hall, Chicago, have never been equaled, even in that city of great artistic ovations. She hails from one of the most distinguished families in Scandinavia, and is as great a social success as she is a popular artist, Madamoiselle Anna Smith, Norway’s mghtingale, arrived in the city last evening preparatory to filling an engagement to-night and to-morrow night at Washington hall, under the management of Mr. Olaf Ellison. Between forty and fifty of Omaha's leading and most distinguished citizens were _invited to be present i the Paxton hotel parlers and tender the successor to Jenny Lind a fitting reception. The Second infantry band was seated in the rownda and played & num- ber of beautiful selections in honor of the great singer. A large vrowd gathered to listen to the music. The words of welcome were spoken by Hon. John M. Thurston, and he paid a fitting trib- ute to the sweet singer on whose shoulders has fallen the mantle of the Swedish night- mgale, Mademoiselle Smith wus pleased with the elegant reception tendered her, and im- prossed those who met her as a charming, unaffected and vivacious woman., Those present at the reception were: Mrs. and Mr. John Thurston, Bishop Newman, General and. Mrs, Wheaton, _Licutenant John Kinzie, Mr. @G. T. Bemis _ and nieces. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holler, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Orr, Mr. and Mrs. Bu' chanan, F. M. Ellis,'Mr. Max Meyer, Mr, and Mrs. Andrew Rosewater, Mr. I. B, Bourgeois, Dr. E. D. Arnold, and a largo number of other professional and business men and their ladies. A vart of Bishop Newman’s address was unfortunately interrupted by the bund, but it must be admitted that they played admira- bly, and the good bishop forgave them, The distinguished artiste tendered her thanks in person to the leader of the band, escorted by General Wheaton, The gen: eral, who is familiar with her father’s high military rank in her native land, did much to enhance the very pleasant and in every way delightful reception. To-morrow afternoon sho is tendered a reception at Lininger's gal- lery. Mr. Ellison was unable to get a date at Boyd's, when the contract was signed three weeks nzo, though now it can be had, as some dates have since been cancelled. But music lovers will find at Washington the fin- est concert auditorium in the city, capable of seating 2,000 people, and with perfect accoustics, o rich musical treat may b con- fidently expected. Changes His Jails. Warden Hopkins, of the penitentiary, brought John MoGrath, who was convicted and sentenced to that prison, to the county ail yesterday. McGrath was convicted of urglary and granted a new trial by the su- preme court. He will'be ept in the county tul untll his cow trial couies up before Judge iroff. One License Granted.

It Orops Out In An Array of Can- didates. MEN WHO WOULD TAKE OFFICE S0 Much Good Material Ready Kor Sacrifice That the Positions Will Not Half Supply the Demand. Magic Oity Politics. Only nine candidates for councilman and several for other offices have been angling for a bite. The candidates are: John K. Ritehbort, Fred M. Smith. John C. Connell, Frank Pivonka, George W. Masson, Frank H. Boyd, Thomas Rock, Daniel Hannon and Frank Burness, The mecting will certainly bo lareely attonded. At the first meeting one week ago between 200 and 300 men were present and to-night the hall will not likely hold the crowd. Every candidate has been doing all he could to win supporters and get them (o attend the meeting. The claims and merits of the respective candidates are about us follow John F. Ritchbort, who called the meeting and 18 one of the heaviest taxpayérs in the city, has made a persistent and open oppo sition to the courae pursued by the present council, and has been the one who most courageously opposed the proposed strect grades northeast of J and Twenty-fourth streets, M Ritchbort is a candidate at the carnest solicitation of neighbors and friends who have interests adverss to or want to 8ee un active opposition to the course of the present council, Fred M. Smith is the oldest and most efficient member of the present councii, and the only republican in that pody. His fa- miliarity with the business of the city and doings of the council make him & most valu- able member. Frank Pivonka is the democratic leader of the Bohemiaus of South Omaha, a man who has gained as many friends as he has, accumulated wealth, and who last year was defeated by Fred M. Smith by only a few votes; who has been urged by his friends to become a candidate, but to-night withdrew on account of his ill health, Mr, Pivonka will go to Europe about the ficst of May for his health. Had he consented to stand, he would have had av least an even chance both for the nomination and election. John C. Connell is at present one of the members and secretary of the school board, and is in the minds of many, a very available candidate und a suitable man. James Rock is one of the live and success- ful young business men, ana_whether or not the nomination at the independent meeting to-night, is generally conceded, will be the regular democratic nominee. George W. Masson is a large property holder, has been an active business man and is now inspector of meats for the Omaha board of trade in this city, and haes every qualification for a good legislator. He.has plenty of friends to back him and push his claim. Daniel Hannon has all the elements of strength coming from being a young, popu- lar and prosperous business man. Mr. Han- non is the senior member of one of the larg- est grocery houses in the city, and a more popular young man cannot be found in the ward. Frank H. Boyd, the popular assistant at the stock yards, will have all the moral sup- port that the Union Stock Yards company can give, the active support of all employes of that company, and the additional qualifi- cations of being a broad-gauded and success- ful business man and popular citizen, Frank Burness, the last to come out, is one of the solid property holders of the ward, and one of the building and contracting firm of Bbrness & Parks, the men who have done all the for the Armour-Cudahy Packing com- pany, is as popular us any man in the ward; has hosts of zealous friends, who know him to be & man good and true, and fit for a city lawmaker in every particular, and who will stick to him. Only two cgndidates for school directors have been announced, and they are A. Caughey, stock editor of the Dravers’ Jour- nal, and A. B. Haley, one of the leading merchants in the city, both of them compe~ tent and popular. The dozen candidates for the nomination for police judge, with their friends, will be present, asking the nomination. Altogether, this will be the hottest politi- cal meeting ever held in the city, but only presages the bitterest political fight ever known to come oft here, for Tuesday; April 22, Suparvising Architect of the Treasury. ‘WasmiNGTON, March 21,—In answer to an inquiry on the subject this afternoon Secre tary Windom said that he had tendered the position of supervising architect of the treas- ury to James H.

There was another carnival at the coli- seum last night—a carnival of applauding men and Admiring women, whose beaming faces and.gay headgear lont an additional enchantment to all the scenes that have ap- peared within the vast structure every night this week. The audience was even larger than ever, which is saying everything that need be said, and even more enthusiastio than on sy previous evening. Everybody seems to'hdve gone daft over the race, and whethor$h]s Has been brought about by the skill, pluck and enduranco of the flying elves, or,gheirstriking boauty, 18 & ques- tion; a sygceptible judge, however, is m- clined to S latter opinior. The fact is in- disputablg tntnh of the fair riders have claims to mawe than ordinary attractivoness, and when a beautiful woman figures in_the play, all the world will do her homage. That history:the world over. ovoral of the ladics ugain changed thoir costumes last night. Beauty Baldwin was clad in a tignt-fitting suit of sable cloth from the top of her head to the toes of her feet. A blue sash, gave enlivening color to the otherwise sombre habit, Miss Brown cut a_pretty figure in_a white and blue striped waist, maroon tights, white cap and sash and_a bunch of Dijou roses at her throat. Miss Woods, the gritty little Phila- delphian, wore a red jersey, white and blue jockey cap, maroon tights and her long, Tlossy hair streaming loosely over her shoul- dors. Miss Onkes, the dainty British beauty, was arrayed in black, and riding bare- headed commanded increased admiration on all sides, Miss Lewis looked oxtremely well in a maroon waist, trimmed with old gold, crimson sash, black tights and - pink and blue cap. Miss Williams adhered to her black velvet basque and maroon tights, while Armaindo wore a white waist and dark red sash and tights, Surly in the evening Misses Brown, Bald win, Lewis, Woods and Oakes were pr sonted with beautiful bouquets, Mis Brown's coming from Mrs. Helfrey. Miss Woods' was an_especially claborate affair, being one of the loveliest tributes yet paid to any of the ladies. It was almost as big as the little woman hersol, and it seemed to worry her to carry it 'round the course, For the first hour, last night, all the con- testants wero content to jog along on tho even tomor of their way. All rivalry, for the time, appoared to have ceased. Miss Baldwin was the first to break the monotony, by a tremendous spurt of speed whiclr she keptup for three laps, and which _gained hor one. The exertion, however, was too severc for the delicate girl, and she ywas compelled to cometoa motientary halt. The hard riding Miss Williams has been domg scems to have deprived her of none ot her lithesomeness of limb or buoyancy of spirit, but her long lead warranted her in taking matters easy, and only when pushed Dby some yearning rival did she demonstrate what a mistress of the wheel she really was, Just beforc mounting her byke last even- ing, Miss Oakes was hauded" the following letter, which comes from a well known English officer traveling in this country, and which, at the request of the reporter, she re- luctantly gave up for publication : Dexver, Col., March 20, '8). —Miss Jessie Oakes: 1 trust you.will permit a stranger to congratulate you upon the plucky and heroic contest you are mak- ing, under what I know are trying circumstances. 1 have had the pleasuro of seeing you ride but once (for an hour of the Tuesday afternooniof your New York race), but was more than delighted by the erace and form with which you sat your whecl. It gave me much plensure to witness such sturdy courageousndss at the hands of one of the daughters of 1the mother country, in which I have, of eourse, un undywg pride. With the kindliest of regards and the most sincero wishes for your success in your pres- ent bard task, I am, your most obedient servant, ;" RoLiA C. HORROWS. Tt was just 9 o'clock when Miss Williams, the local heroine, mado up her mind to en- liven matters, and abending almost to the handle bars of her mngic machine, she shot away. The crowd screamed with its delight, as she flow about the course, and kept it up until she had added ode more lap to her lead over all, i At this juncture, ip recognition of tho lady’s prowess, sombadmirer presented hor with a huge basket of flowers, which she proudly held aloft #s she vircled the course. In consonance with the general happy. con- dition of things last nigitv the Musical Union bandwas at its best, and the well selected programme was most'effectively rendered. Perhaps 4 better estimate of the enormous crowd present can be made when the - state- ment is made that there was not one single vacant seat in the entire building and hun- dreds of peovle were compelled to remain standing _throughout the entire cvening. Among those thus inconvenienced, it must be said, were many ladies. The managemnent, however, have made abundant arrangements for the balanceof the weel, although the probabilities are that if all are to be accom- modated who will clamor for admission, the Coliseum itseli will haye to be enlarged. At half past 9 Miss Baldwin was presented with a most exquisite basket of flowers, al- most a bushel, with a little angel on a bicycle nestling within tneir fragrant widst. This is the handsomest compliment that has been paid to any of the ladies in the race. Miss Lewis’ chances of getting a good big slice of the gato receipts, ecither second or third, are extremely flattering, She never races, never spurts, but goes on her way in an unflagging, dauntless way, that cannot fail to laud her among the winners. The close of the struggle last night was again intensely exciting, and the deafening uproar from the clectrified throngs kept both earth and atmosphere in a quaver. The fight between Miss Woods and Williams was bitterly relentless, and while both were ga.oe as game could be, neither could gain an_ advantage in their final spurts, Miss Williams, however, gained one mile and five laps during the evening.

Drs Morxes, Ta,, March 21.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Ber.|—A delegation of grain elevator men from this city, and vicinity waited upon the railroad commissionors to- day with a griovance. They roprosented that they had large sums invested in their elevators, which they are av the expense of maintaining and keeping open throughout ho year. They claim that thoy wore a benefit to the farmers in furnishing at all times in the year a ready markoet for thoir grain, and a beneflt to the railroads in in- croasing their tonnage by coliecting the grain from surrounding sections. ‘“‘And,” said the elevator men, “under the present law a track buyer can come in from Chicago during the busy season and buy ;I\rmlum,- in competition with us and have the benefit of the same rates in shipping it out. The track bnyer has no heavy exponses here, pays no taxes, employs no extra help and yet can meet us on the same footing by reason of getting the same rate.” So the clevator men asked the commission- ers if there wasn't some way by which they could compel the railronds to give them bet- ter terms than were given to the track huf‘- ers from outside. The commissioners snid they didn’t see how they could help them, as the matter belonged to inter-state commerce, anyway. Then the elevator men suggested that before that inter-state commerce law was. passed they used to get a rebate of 3 cents, and they thought that now the railroads might give them a rental of of 1 cent per 100 pounds as a recognition of the service they were rendering the roads. That would give them a little advantage over outsiders, which was what they wanted, The commissioners told them that it was a mattor outside of their jurisdiction, and the elevator men went sadly away. —— Funeral of Prof. Welch.

Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, no matter how tenaciously they have fastened their clutch on the sys- tem, ave first for s0 velax their grasp and eventually to abandon it altogether. But it is its preventive force that should chiefly recommend the bittecs to persons dwelling in malaria-cursed localities, for it is a ce tain buckler of defense against which the enemy is powerless.
