IDER OF AN INNOOENT, A Dead Male Child Found in an Empty K. & M. V. Car. Somebody’s inhuman crimo was revealed yesterday when the boay of a full-grown malo infant was found in a paper box ina freight car near the Webster street depot by one of the employes of the Chicago, St. Paul, Miuncapolis & Owaba railway company.

ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS, Boginning & Work of Which Great Results are Expeoted, AN EMINENT PORTRAIT PAINTER. J. Laurie Wallace's Pictare of Hon. ininger—Omaha ing an Art Center, “In this beloved, beautiful, but sometimes fogiy and too often not very brilliant count1y of ours,” says that delightful essayist, Leigh Hunt, speaking of the “tight little island,” “we are not fond enough of colors—not fond enbugh of & beauty of which Nature evideutly very fond and wita which, like all the rest of “her boauties, it is the business of civilized man to adorn and to improve his own well being.” It was the blue sky and clear air of their native land which have made the Italian painters so famous for coloring; and Reubens and Matteau, like wise men, saw the good of transferring tho beauty to the less fortuuate climate of Flanders, ituskin, in his wisdom, yot nevertheless the advauce ageut of Tumer, gives the same mead of praise to that great Knglish painter, who was toart what Wordsworth was to the literature of our mother country. Yet one cannot help but contrast now and then the tonal qualities of the works of the eminent painters of the old world, with those that have come from tho brushes of the men who owe their art to the associations of the new. Juch year sces a broadening influence at rk, 8 bringing together of brilliant minds upon the subjects which lie nearest the heart of the artist, aud through this ever wideuing power must come a condition which until now has ouly been arcamed of. Time was when but two or three self-consti- uted painters endeavored o teach the great truths of art in Omaha, but the leaven has beeu at work and the nursery of the old days has given way to a school room of painting which cannot fail to _make this young giaut of the northwest a force in American art. The impetus which Hon. George W. Lin- inger and meu of his stamp have given to art matters canuot heip but have an influence for good, and in their coliections of the old and modern masters, a glimpse of what is to e in the future is seen. Omaha has maae gigantic strides in her material welfare in the pust decade; there aro justas potential forces at labor to bring about a like condition in_its intelloctual life, Ariists who represent the best thought aud feoling of the modern school are being attractea thither and Chicago, which hus for years occupied an unrivalled supremacy in the polite western world, sees in the grow- ing citios of tho north and west candidates for the position she has long occupied as the heaa font of western culture and refinement, and in this refinement all have played no inconsequential part, Last fall J. Laurie Wallaco, with the presige of an art education won ' in the best techuical school in this country, the Phila- delphia academy of tine arts, came to Omaha to conduct a similar institution upon a less exalted basis, but still of suflicient moment to command the attention of artists and ar pupils throughout the west. A gentle, modest enthusiast, slow to speal of his own’ works, but with' very decided aims and opinions, based upon his observa- tions and studies, Mr. Watlace commanded respect from his advent in our midst. And itis only now that the art loving por- tion of the community have had u subject placed before them, painted by Mr. Wallace, of which tney could form an estimets of the merit of the man_who was looked up to as & leader 1w his profession, The subject which will command the closest attention from the critic. the artist and the art lover alike is now on display in the Lin- mger gallery, a bust portrait of Omaba's best known and most enthusiasticart patron, Hon. George W. Lininger. The artist shows in every line a knowl- cdgo of his subject which is refreshing. Ho has paiuted it con amora, and it is very much questioned whether thero is 11 Omahi today a botter bit of portrait painting by one of tho moderns, than this. The modelling and val- ues are good This 15 particularly apparent in tho wuscles of the forehoad, Tt3 reliof. and shiny, smooth skin, softened by a sheen which gives a moistened aspect tu tho faco, delightfully refreshing. The colors aro transparent aud the wholo has an atmosphero which is the joy of the studentin painting. Thero is a sketchiness about it, too, which deserves more than a mere mention ou passant, especially the wanner of working out the blue smok- g jacket’ and skull cap which the subject wore during the sittings. Tnere 188 freshuess too in its exccution which shows how conscientious the man has been toarrive at the fountain head of all art, a gloritied imugination coupled with a tech- nique which distiuguishes the master from the mountebank. “T'he background too is unconventional, the subject having been seated between the folding doors which divides the parlor of the Lininger house from the gallery, giving the painter an opportunity to work in the deep embrasure of a window with dayhght streaming iu, a problem always dificult of solution and therefore not often attempted. Taken iu its entirety Mr. Wallace has suown himselt deserving of peing classed among America’s most eminent portrait pamters and an artist who canuot fuil to reflect credit upon the city of his adoption. But Mr. Wallace cannot devote his time to portrait paintinz entirely, for he will assume, on September 1, the position of director of the Omaha ucademy of fine arts, which hns at last been taken under the wing of the Western Art association, an association in every way cupable of giving such a school botl financial and artistic encouragement. And the oficers of tho Western Art_associ- ation will have the control over the affairs of the academy of fine arts as they do over the older organization, The association is ofcered President, George W. Linlnge went, Charles S. Elgutter; E. C.'Browkley ; treasurer In membership the association numbers 300, composed very largely of artists, al- though there are a number of art lovers not artists who have been admitted to the “inner court.”” With this force back of the academy failure hardly seems possible. On Septeniber 1 the school will open its season in the Williams building at the corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, which is now baiug fitted up for the use of the school, sud waen finished it witl bo one of the most com- plete studios in the country adopted for the accommodation of large classes. All the branches of art taught in the Phila- Qelpbia academy will bo taught here, a life class will be established, clay modoling will e taught, skotch classes will be organized and the school placed at once upon a high plane, When one comes to consider the education to be received tho prices fixed for tuition are very insigniticant. ‘Ten dollars a month will give & pupil all the benefits to be derived from un attendance on such a school. Five doilars will adeit a pupil to the studio two evenings a week, and {n addition givo him the association of Mr. Wallace during that period. “Tho prospects of the school are ering already, more than one hundred ar- tists and students baving signified their de- sire to becomo identified with a school pro- sided over by J.

They will speak of the many good things of ¥fid conference, and an intoresting meeting is looked for, Mr. J. M. Payne will assist in thesinzing. Among ths Churches Dr. Josoph T.

S, Billings, state evangelist of the Congrogational church, has consented to fill the pulpit for a timo at Park Place church, Rev. Corfman has been obliged to give up the pastorate of the Cherry Hill Congrega- tional church on accouut of ill-health. Rov. Mr. Life has been requested o fill the pulpit, but has not yet accepted the call, The Baptist young people of Omaha are buckling on the armor in earnest. They will hereafter pull together for the general good of the church and for the promotion of God- liness and Christian improvement among all classes of people. The entertainment given by tho Epworth league of the Newman Methodist ¢ hurch last day night was a creditable success in y particular. The church has been rap- aining strongth since Rev. T. W, Ware became the pastor about two months ago and the outlook is constantly growing brighter. The First United Presbyterian chureli of South Omaha will be dedicated next Sun ‘The occasion promises to be an interesting one and a large number of the brethren in Omaha expect to attend. South Omaha is rapidly coming to the front in tne important matter of church building. It is rumored that Dr. Thain, the ablo and carnest pastor of tho Plymouth Congregational church, has had an urgent request to accept tha pastorate of a Congregational church in another city where the salary and congrega- tion aro larger than he has at present 1n Omaha, Rev. W lard Scott of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational ~church, returnod last Tues- day from Montelair, N. J., whero ho filled the pulpit of the Firsi church for Dr. Brad- ford during the month of July. He spent a few weeks at West Point and visited with a brothor in the Mohawk valley. IRev. Mr. Scott returned very much refreshed and in- vigorated by the change of scene and uuty. Rov. John Williams, of St. Barnabas Epis- copal church, appeared in the role of a peace maker last Thursday and assisted groutly in bringing about a compromise bo- tween the employes of the smelting. works and the employer. This is a kind of work in which Rev. Mr. Williams has for some yoars taken active steps to make Limself useful. He possesses a very warm and sympathotic hoart for lifting up the distressed and bur- dened classes. Every laboring man in Omaha, who knows Rov. Mr. Williams, will agreo that the following seriptural quotation will exactly fit his great character: “Blessed are the peicemakers for they shall have peace.” The recont meoting for bible students held at Crete by the Young Mon’s Christian o ciation of the state, closod last week and the young men returned home feeling well pleased with the sedson of religious study and free frora the bustle and confusion of the businoss worid.

They Make Three Attempts at Mid- night Robbery Friday night a trio of bighway robbers and burglars made several -attempts at robbery and burglary near Eighteenth and Jackson streets, but in each attempt their crimimal aesign was happily discovered. About 12 o'clock Mr. Schutz, who lives at the intersection mentioned, encountored the scoundrels and overheard them maturing plans to waylay Waldemar Krag, the saloon- keeper at 1801 St. Mary’s avenue, while on his way home on South Twenty-rifth stroet, Mr. Schutz immediately sought a police- man, and when he returned to the spot where he had left the footpads found they had dis- appeared. ‘I'he same villains later visited the resi- deuce of a widow on the northeast corner of Jackson aud Eighteonth streets, whero they attempted to forco an eatrance, but were Irightened away. Avout 3 o'clock this morning they visited the residenco of K. S. Sherman, South Ninetecnth stroet. That gentleman lay awake upon his bed. He saw the hiead of a person appearing throuch the open shutters of one of the windows and that was followed by a second and finally by a third head. Mr. Sherman felt the heads be- longed to burglars and hastily jumping out of the bed, opened the blinds in’ the villains' faces scatteriug them in dismay. One of the fellows fetl off the porch and aroused u neighboring mustifl from his stum- bers. ‘I'he latter started to get m his work, but the burglars fled, half a dozen sympa- thetic canines joining in tho chase. The scoundrels, however, made their escape.

The mun is not absolutely without medical attention, as the city physician’s assistant looked in on him this morning. A similar case, that ocourred a fow davs ago, was worked off on the county, but Cap- tain Mostyn had to spring a confidence gameo on tha county officials in order 10 procure the necessary care for tho sick man, Ho tele- phoned them that a man at the jail had been nere thirteen years, and the ambulance was thereupon sent down from the county hos- pital for the sick mao. When they got him out to tho hospital it was learned thut he hud been Lere only a few days, while the thirtcen-year resident was ono of the ofticars at tue station. The county authorities then wantad to send him vack, but the man was t0o 8igk to be moved again, and they were compellod to keep him, He is now being cared for at the county's expense, but Williams is being, ,neglectéd until the question of *‘county haspital or St. Joseph's'’ can be determinod. e Little Losg of Time, ‘Tho loss of time in eases of sickness is no small itom to workingdpeople.

Short of Oklahoma had publicly threatened to kill Judge Botkin of the Thirty-second judicial district in tho event that ho attempted to proside at tho trial of James HBrennan, charged with killing Colonel Samn Woods at Hugoton, June 23, has occasioned the first solicitude of Judge Botkin's frionds for his safety. Prior to the threats made by Stort. Judge Botkin had paid no attention to the manyjanoymous letters ho had received threa- tening his life or warning him of danger. In tha the eastern half of the state, but few peo- plo believo that he was in any way connected with the killing of Wood and the charges of aconspiracy have been laughed at. But an open threat from Ed. Short meaus a great denl. Judge Botkin's statement that the fun- eral procession would stroteh from Topeka to No Maws Land if a haiv of bis head was injured was mado upon receiv- ing tho news that Short had threatened his life. Tho outlawe in southwestern Kausas tells the story of 1d Short. Sam Wood was indissolubly connected with rowth, its county seat fights andits steals both large and small. Ed Short was his friend and lieutenant. He was bold in the days when lawlessness was supreme, aud when there came evidences of civilization ho made for Oklaboma, where there was less v straint and beuter opportunitios for men wh regard tho rovolver as jadge and jury. Short is now o deputy United States’ marshal Kingfisher. He belongs to the Woodsdale faction in the Stevens county fights, and so long as his crowd was largo enough'to hold its own in a defiant, dare devil way, be mained with it. Short does not look a de: perado. He is & typical western dandy, dresses in u dudish” sort of fashion, is & feather-weight with black moustache and cold gray eyes and no respocfor of persons. Tuis his boast that Mr. Colt has made him the equal of any man alive, Liko all desper- ate frontior characters, Short has drifted from ono town to the other. His association with Sam Wood is a peculiar story, illustrat- ing the character of both men and _the cu: toms on the frontier. In 153 Sam Wood tablished the town of Woodsdale. He chos tor his town marshal, Sum Robinson, a fron- tier desperado, who had killed his ‘man in Kentucky and who had achieved a reputution for so doing in & haif-dozen western towns. Ho was given a lots in Woodsdale and a hotel was bullt for him. IRobinson finally con- cluded to run for sheriff, but Wood = wouid not help him, and the two men quarrelled. It was then that Robinson left Woodsdale ‘for its rival town of Hugoton, and the first steps were taen which lead to the muraer of Shoriff Cross and posse 1 No-Man's Land. Robiuson promsed tho Hugoton people that if thoy would move his hotel from Woods- dalo hie would be their town marshal, and the agreement was carried out. Wood knew there would be trouble, and the only man in the entiro west in hisacquaintance who could cope with Robinson was Short, who was at that time ju No-Man's-Land. Ho was sent for, and accepted the position of town marshal of Woodsdale. Robinson had 1o that time taken the oftice as marshal of Huco- ton and Wood concluded that he would offe an instlt to the vival town. He went to Hugoton and attempted to ruin the town well. Sam_ Robinson, although not clothed with any legal authority, told Wood that” he must beh, and warned him to leave the town. He dia s0,and @ fews days later n wurrant was sworn out in Woodsdalo for Iobinson’s rrest charging him with disturbing the peace at a political meeting m Voorhees township. The warrant was placed in Short's Lands and two deputies were sworn in to accompany him. Short rodo into Hugo- ton and,stopping in frontof Robinson’s hotel, called Dim to the door. “I've a warrant for yourarrest,”he said,and drawing his revolver fired at him avithout giving him time to re- ply. He missed fire and Robinson dodged iuside the door. Short then put spurs to s horse and left over the prairie for Woods dale. ‘The two men who had accompanicd him had gone behind the hotel, thinking that Robinson would run in that direction, but as he did not._he escaped unhurt. - A mob then collected in Hugoton to give chase, and the two deputies, who had driven across the country in a buckboard, only escaped by cutting their tuzs and veating a hasty retreat. Short subsequently made another unsuccessful attempt to arrest Robinson in No Man’s land_ard it was while this excitement was on that the posse lod by Robinson camo upon Sheriff Cross and party and murdered them. Robin- son after remaining w Hugoton for a short while went to Colorado, robbed a postoflice, and 13 now serving a seventeon-year term in the penitentiary. ~Short returned to Woods- dulo but left when Oklahoma was opened, Short was ono of the chief witnesses against the Cross murderers and has been a bitter onemy of Judge Botkin's ever sinco thav memorable trial. Judge Botkin will not attemot to preside at tho trial of James Breonan. He bas an- nounced, however, that he will uot hold court under the shadow of a bayonet and will pro- test against tho governor Sending any militia 10 Stevens county whex the case is called in September. e A Her Pastor, “Iu June, 1839, alter tho great flood,” says Mrs, E.

It is not strange, therefore, that Tur Ber man’'s attention wus attracted’ yosterday by the smiles which wroathed the face of N. B. Falconer and the apparently contented appearonce of tnat gentleman. Mr. Falconer was just coming out of his store on Douglas strect near Fiftecuth and a glance nside sufticed to explain_ the cause of tho gentleman’s apparent satisfaction with all the world. Every aisie in tho spacious store was thronged with eustomners, and the rgo force of clerks was kept busy supply- ¢ their demands The fiest thing which attracted the eye upon entering the store was the large in- creaso in space on the first floor, the estub- lishment having increased in $120 by the ad- dition of n store room on tho west side, thereby making the first floor G0x132 feet in size. I'nis now part 1s excellently lighted by largo skylight and in’it aro to bo found the black und colored dress goods, an extensive variety of silks and dress trim- mings. This entire space is occupied by these goods and the well lighted room affords the ladies an excellent opportunity for ex- amiaing both texture and color of tho various abrics. This new part of the store has been occu- pied for a week butno flaming announce- ment ot that fact had been made. This wed strange and Mr. Falconer was sought for an explanation. He stated that he vre- ferred to advertise reduced prices and let the beople seo for themselves the many changes and improvements which had been wade. The new addition was opened Monday mora- ing, ho said, and bad been thronged ever sinco, “Wo ore roducing our stock,” said Mr. Falconer, “and have notified the public that rock bottom prices would be the rule. The public has faith in our prowises and, us a ro- sult, wo have been doing a rushing business all the weel.” A further investization showed that the centre of the store was occupicd by a large and well selocted line of gonts' furnishing goods, ladies’ hosiery, muslin unde | A Ean wear and corsets, whilo on_ the v sido were displayed a large lina of linens, inels,” blankets domestics, and wash #oods of all kinds, A largo line of clothing, wcluding hand- somely embroidered robes’ and other paru- pherualia calenlated to rejoice the heart of the young mother, occupied a conspicuous place near the center of the store. “The millinery and draping dopartment have boen removed from tho third to the second floor, thus placing all the retail de- partments on the first two floors, whilo the third will bo used as a stock room and a wholesale department. The store presents a very handsome ap- poavance, being well veutlated and well lighted, while the elegant fabrics forming » part of the laree stock ave ditplayed in such a way as to form an artistiz decoration which is enhanced by the grace and beauty of the neatly attired salesladies whose nim- ble fingers display to'the best advantage tho rich goods, e .
