STABDED BY A WOMAN. ‘While acting as a peacemaker in a domestic ght last evening William Haeslor was tabbed ten times, Near midnight he was oturning home when his attention was ut- racted by two men and a woman quarreling, hey wero Daniel David, his wife and “harles Meyer, the latter a brother-in-law. 11 three were exchanging blows when Haes or stepped in thoir midst, ordering them to top tighting. They objected to his interfer- enco aud the two men setting upon him, forced him to cross the strect. Haesler en- red a saloon there and was soon followed y tho trio. Thoy attempted to renew their @ispute, attho same time trying to drag Taosler into it. Befors much had been said artender RRold pat them all out of the place. n the ridewalk in front of thesaloon a third ffort was made to renew the trouble. Again Faesler ook o part and finally he and David olinched. Mrs. David drawing a pocket nifo rushed up and commencea to slash ight and left at Haesler. She plunged the lade into Lis neck, missing the jugular vein by an oighth of an inch: a second time she evered an artery in his right arm. The other ounds were very slighs. Haesier was re- noved to a hospital, where it is thought his wounds will not necessarily prove fatal. His $ssailants were locked up. ANOTHER THEORY ABOUT VERA AVA, The polico have given up the theory at rst entcrtained that the mysterious Miss va is Dis Debar and are iuclined to think hat Miss Ava’s home is in Chicago, and be- Meve that if Mrs. Kate Cooley could be found explanations might follow. They are not working the case at all. There are no charges azainst the woman, and further than {0 rettle their curiosity they take no interest n the case. Following the theory that ‘era Ava is a Chicago woman and that she ad either gone crazy or taken a peculiar no- ion to cause a sensation, it was found that a woman answering her description in every Particutar had left her low resort in Pl mouth place in the hands of her housekeepe Bnd disappeared the day Vera Ava appeared Bt the Wellington hotel. Her lack of a ward- ¥obe is nccounted for on this score and her hbility to obtain money on short notice, as he did on an occasion,is ascribed to the same gondillou‘ ODDS AND ENDS.

Bishop Newman is presiding at a confer- enco up at Grand Rapids, Mich., where one of the pastors of tho circuit 1s on trial for horse racing. The reports of the trial are very interesting and show a new trait in Bishop Newman's character. It appears that, the offending minister, Rov. 4. W. Arnoy of Saranac, swells his meager income by buying promising young colts, de- veloping tneir speod and then” selling them. Last year he gave a trotting matince at Sar- ‘anac and for this indiscration be was hauled over the coals by the conferenco. He prom- 1sed 10 quit and his offonse was condoned, but it is now claimed he has been backsliding. When he appeared as a candidato for pro- motion to full elder's orders evervthing seemed to be in his favor. Ho had passed his examination with credit and his presid- ing eldor strongly recommended him, when Rov. J. A. Eldred, o superanuatea parson now serving as chapiaip of the lonia House of Correction, accused him of alleged delin- quencies and demanded an investization. Bishop Newman observed that the Metho- dist parsons of the early days were, accord- ing to history, pretty fond of rapid horses and that he saw nothing wrong in this him- sell, but perbaps it would be as well to give Brother Arnev an examination. iev. Mr. Arney. in responso to_questions, said that he materially increased his income by buying and selling horses, which was no worse than buying village lots and unloading them at an advaaced price; thathe nhad not entered his borses in any race since the lnst conference, and that he did not bolieve in racing horses for money. He admitted, however, that he did at- tend the races at Threo RRivers last spring, but went to observe the good points of a horso and seo nim mako a record, and did not think thero was anything wrong about it. Breeding and speeding horses had como to be a legitimate business; breeding was certainly logitimate and a horse's value was often do- termined by 1ts speed and a record could bo gained only by a raco on a track. Eldor Moore of Avney’s district was asked ‘what effect the horse-jockey business had on tho brother's work and tho elder re- plied that Arney’s work would best answer that question: that during the last year Arney had brought 250 souls to the mercy seat: that his own church had been increased nearly 100 in member- ship, and that the collections wero far ahead of the amount apportioned to the church. Rev. Mr. Eldred protested that Mr. Ar- ney’s good works should be no excuse for his delinquencies, and insisted that the church should not_sanction horse raciug by approv- ing Arney’s course. A special committeo was formally appointed to act on his case. S s R NOT PUNISHMENT. PITY, Sad Afliction of an Indigent Bohem- fun Family. A roport came to Chief Seavey yestorday afternoon from W. F. Kellogg, Eighteenth and Dorcas _streets, statiog that a baby had died mysteriously at 1732 South Eighteenth streot. Chief Seavoy sent Detective Vizard to investigate the affair, but the officer could not find any suspicious circumstances con- nected with the death. The child’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Brockman, a Bonemian family, and thoy live at 1732 South Eighteenth. It seoms that the buby had been sick for over a mouth, and a physician had _been called in who prescribod for the ailment, Iustead of gutting better lingered and finally died y What tho noighbors par- ticularly objected to was the dirty condition of ~tho house and surroundings and also because tho father was making o cofiin himself to bury his baby in. The fam- ily lives as hundreds of others in the city do. A hox was made and Mr. Brockman said that ho was going to bury his child today some place, but just whero he did not know. As there was nothing suspicious about tho death the police could not do anything. As far as the sanitary condition of tho promises is concerned Chief Seavey said he would have to leave that to the Health department. g For Schlitz besr apply to R. R. Growe 1020Farnan.

Tho Board of Public Works met yesterday morniog and Major Furay explained how the sidewalk contractors had been treating tho city. The mattor or sidewalk estimates has grieved tho mojor these many days, and & woek ago the board concluded to give him a chance to look into the situation by appoint- ing him a committee of one to investigate the estimates and the manner in which they wore made out. The wmajor reported- contractors that the wero stealing from the city by sys- tepatically overcharging for both work and material. He had measured up several jobs and found that the contractor had put in his bill for much more lumber than he had used and for more work than had been done. Ho was opposed to any such way of doing business and didn't think the board bad any business to allow the estimates. The members talked and talked until long aftor the noon hour without transacting any business and theu adjourned until 3 o'cloc! Ask your grocer for Cook's Extra Dry Im- perial Champagne.

Major Benham's Views of the Sol. dier's Education in Sharpshooting. “I did not expect that our men would shoot quite so well at Fort Sheridan as at Belle- vue,” said Major Beubam yesterday to a Bes reporter, “for the rearon that the targets were not placed in a similar position. At Bellevue we had the targets down low, just about like men would be likely to be found. But the officors at Fort Shoridan bhad the targets perched on & hill. Thoy were harder tohit, because very few glancing bullets could get in thelr work. 1 like the idea of placing targets in & position just as near like that as- sumed by an enomy as possible. 1f a marks-. man can bit that kind of & target, ho can bit & man, There is 1o use shooting at somethin, unlike the objects that will be met In actual battle, There is no use toshoot at the clouds . when you want to hit men,"” - S o Gesalor's MagioHeadaohe Wafars.

Interestiag Session of the Body at Its Rooms, PROJECTS FOR THE CITY'S PROSPERITY, What a Wyoming Editor Thinks—th Open Board—Welcoming Black Hillers—Committees on Congress. Tho meeting of the Board of Trade last ovening was a livelior, bettor attendea and altogother more business-like session than nas boen the case for o long time past, and speaks well for the infusion of new energy and enterprise through the addition of the Grain and Produce exchange, Tho transfer of E. W. Nash's membership to J. W. Paul was approved. A special committeo, consisting of Secro- tary W. N. Nason, Jonn O'Connor ana Max Meyer, was appointed to go out and meet tho Black Hills mineral train next Wednesday and accompany it to this city. W. E. Mercer, the editor of the North- western Live Stock Journal of Cheyenne, and aW orld’s fair commissioner, was intro- duced bya letter from General Manager Babcock of the isouth Omaha Union Stock yards. He spoke of the greatness and im- portance of this city, and said that it was bound tobe the great commercial centor botween Chicago and the Pacific const. Ho dwelt to some length upon tho need of harmony, and for the benefit of the trade of tho groat west advocated reciprocal business between Omaha and competitive points, He said the jobbers of Omana sont their men through Wyoming, but thero had never been a downright attempt made to get next to the people of his state. A telegraphic_invitation from the Miles City Board of Trade was read, requesting the Helona excursion party to' stop thero. This agamn brought up the question of the Helena excursion and it was rovealed that the party that is to start next Saturday is by no means made up as yet and a committeo was named consisting of Messrs. Nason, Wheelor, Gibbon, Braay and Gallagher, to work up the matter, President Murtin called attention to the visit of the Black Hills mine owners with a train lod of their ores, which will bo in re- ality a_celebration of the opening of the Black Hills road. The president insisted that the visitors oueht to be formally re- ceived and requested all members of tho board to droparound at tho depot to wel- come them, Mr. W. A. L. Giobon spoke of the trans- mississippi congress that is to moet here Oc- tober 19, He said that_considerablo apathy seemed to exist among the Omaha business men concerning this congress and urged that more interest should be manifested. He snid that it would bo an important gather- g and advocated the appointment of a com- mitteo of twenty-four, consisting of throo representatives of the Board of Trade, threo from tho Real Estate Owners' association, thrse representatives of the pross aud threo each from the wholesalers, retailers, bankers, railroad men, professional men and hotel men and caterers. He aiso stated that it would be an excellent opportunity for Omaha to get in some good worlk in bebalf of the na- tional republican convention for next year. He said that the visitors should bo well taken care of and shown tho water works, stock yavds and many points of interest. Major Wheeler seconded the idea, speaking of the promises that iad been made and the inducements held out at the time that Omaha. extended its invitation to the congress to hold its noxt cenvention here. Ho advised a ban- quet and the raising of a few hundred dollars t0 do tho general entertainment act upin true Omaha stylo, Presidont Martin ntroduced a quostion for the consideration of the grain men and job- bors. To said he understood that the Inter state Commerce commission was considering a regulation that would lead toa more prompt settlement of claims by vailway and transpor- tation companies and thef commission wanted a report from here, Ho asked that informa- tion be submitted to him witn that end in view. Secretary Nason reported that the Grain Exchange bid fair to bo-a groaf, success. “There would bo nooption business transacted on the floor. Auc there were ample oppor- tumties 1n the buitding. The floor was for the consummation of cash deals. Tho grain inspection was already a great success, aud tho inspectors' report could be fouud on the board each afternoon. What he wanted to urge particularly was that the business men of the city would drop in often and thus lend the exchange their countenauce. Ho wanted all business men to make engagements for the floor of tho exchango between 11 and 12 o'clock, He urged that all business bo trans- acted there, and everybody would then know where a man could be found at least one hour in the day. ‘The meeting of the State Business Men's association called for.tho Millard bad not met with a largo turnout, owing to several other meetings in tuo city, and those present had adjourned to the Board of Trade rooms whore they knew they would find a goodly gathering of represontative business men. Mr. William Floming, president of the local assooiation, was given the floor and he stated tho objects'of the meoting aftor which ho called upon Mr. . K. Emerson, president of the Douglas County Agricaltural society, to explain the matter more fully. Ho said that an advertising train was to_be sent out from Linclon to advertise the stato and thought that Omaha and Douglas county ought to make a big showing in that train. He thouglit the Douglas County Agricultural socicty would bo willing to donate $230 toward having this county creditably ropre- sented, Mr. Rt. . Hoigin, secretary of the State Business Men’s association, outlmed the work already dono and said 'that thus far thirty-six countics wero to bo represented, and Douglas would bo thirty-seven. Tho cost had been divided up and it Lad been decided that Douglas ought to pay §600, Lan- caster §350 and tho others $i00 oach. Lan- caster county had appointed a committee of fifty and was going to raise §2,000 to adver- tise that couniy thoroughly in counnection with the state train. Each exbibiting county would be entitied to send a representativo along with the train, He thought Douglas would not bo left behind. In fact the local branch of tho State Business Men's associa- tion had gone 1nto 1t and wanted the co-oper- ation of the Board of Trade, Real Estato Owaners’ association and everybody clse. Ho wanted a committee appointéd with power 1o act in conjunction with similar committeos from other organizations. The move was warmly advocated by L Lobeck and Colonel C. 5. Chase, and_the fol- lowing committee was appointed: C. O. Lo- becl, James Walsh and J. B. Kuony. So'it is at last settled that Donglas county's representation on the state advertising train will be commensurato with the impor- tance of the wealthiest county and metropo- lis of the stato. Mr. Lobeck, who is a member of the com- mitteo on manufactures, then spoke of Ttk Ber's vigorous fight in behalf of home in- dustrios und urged that the committee on manufactures be instracted to attend tne meeting of Omaha manufacturers that is to be held September 21, o show the lnterest tho board felt in the matter. The secretary was [nstructed to notify the committee, and the members concluded that they had done enough for one bot evening. e — You cannot bo too partioular avout the medicines you use.

Significance of the Coming North braska Methodist Conference The north Nebraska annual conlference of the Methodist church which convenes in tho First Methodist church of this city tomor- row morning will give the peopie a hint of that greater eveut of a similar nature which is to take place horo next May, the general conference of the Mothodist church. This conference will be attended by hundreds, that of next year by thousands. This con- ferouce will contivae not quite one weok, that of next year over a month. The annual conference this year is distin- cuished as boing tne last meeting of this body prior to the assembling of the genoral conferenco_on the first day of next May in this city. The featuro that differs from the usual sessions is that lay delegates, ono from each pastoral chargo within the bounds of the conference will meet on Friday to hold a session of the lay electoral conference for tho purpose of choosing two lay delogates to rap- rosent them in tho general conference. This calls together about 100 representative lay- men, who, with the clergymen, maka a large number to be entertamned in the homes of tho city. The ministoral ana lay aelegates meet at the samo place but once in four years. This is known as the North Nebraska con- ference, and meets once a year at the placo selected by the members of the conferonce when in session. 1ts geographical boundary is defined as including ull of that part ot the stato lymg nortn of the Platte river and cast of the west line of rango twelve, west of the sixth principal meridian. The growth of vopulation on this territory in the last fow years has been so great that there ave at this date more than 100” pastoral charges within its limits, a majority of which charges have move than one preaching place, and some of them several. Ecclesiastically the conference is composed of nearly 100 proachers. Several who are servinz” as supplies or licentiates are not counted 1n the above enumeration. These, except supplies, are all expected to be pres- ent and report upon the sums raised for ben- evolences as well as to furnish the statistical secretary with several items pertaining to their work, revealing nearly everything af- fecung their success during the year. Bishon Goadsell will preside over the ses- siou, and, after hearing the represontations of the preachers by the presiding elders, will appoint all these pastors to their fields of labor for tho coming year. The presiding elders constitute the bishop's cabinet and the hold meetings alone for con- sultation every afternoon, the bisbop depending upon_them for advice in raspect to tho fields of labor and the bpst man for each, in tho event of tho removal of a pastor, Some other chief men of the church will be present, und these visitors will speak at the anmversaries to be held of evenings dur- ing the session, and_provably from some of the city pulpits on Sunday evening. Perhiaps ouo of the most _exciting subjects of the session will bo the voto to be taken in respect to tho admission of women as del- egates to the general conference. This sub- ject has beeu debated with no small measuro of carnestness during tho past year in the columns of church papers, and the voting by the annual conferences has not yet been de- cisive of tho case, after half of thom bave had the question bofore thom. Ministerial delogates to the general confer- ence will also be elected at this session of the anuual conference and will of itself awaken 2 good deal of intorest among the pastors, 2 - Small in size, great in resultt; DeWitt's Little Karly Itisers.

Miss Harrison Lectures on an Inter- esting Topic. The concert hall of the Young Men's Chris- tian association was filled last evening with alarge and exceodingly attentive audienco who gathered to listen to Miss Harrison's talk on tho kindergarten. While the audienco consisted moitly of ladies thore quito a number of gentlemen present, Miss Harrison is a pleasant speakor and many of her illustrations of child life were quito amusing. After a few introductory remarks tho speaker said : Most people have too narrow a view of the 1 ot Bducation. Education means the right dovelopment of the chiid, phy: mentally anid morally.

The lecturo throughout was well illus- trated with stories concerning children who had been under the personal guidance of the speaker or whom she had observed in the charity kindergartens under her supervision, The address closed with an earnest appeal that the kindergartens be made a part of the public school systom of our country. the L~ LOCAL BREVITIES, H, Weiso and H.
