The 0ae that seams o be the most accurate is a description ziven of two men scen by a sec- tion mun on the east side of the bridee last night about 8:30, They started on a run up the railroad trick und thence probably up the river through the willows. If so it would be impossible to get on their trail. Sheriff Harriman has returned from where bhe was scouring the country around Modale and Mondamin, but failed to gev eny clue what- ever. The officers here do not think Sloan had auy black silk handkerchief, henco the man scen crossing tho bridge in Omana could not have been Sloan, Fremont ofMicers telephoned that they havs a clue, but the description does not taliy. So far no search has veen made of Mrs. An- dorson’s house to =eo whether he had changed clothes.

The Austrian Juvenile band is a revelation and a delight. Much was promised, but promises of this kind aro always discounted, and it 1s peculiarly gratifying to meet a set that pan out par. The impression left by the performances at the coliseum yesterday is one of mingled surprise and admiration. The band is composed of forty voys, rang- ing in ags from 13 to 1S years. It was to be expected, on account of their youthfulness, that an apologetic tono would be needed in speaking of their work, but such is not the case. No allowance on account of aze need be wade in comparing them with other mili- tary bands of the highest rank. Of course, there is a difference in numbers, instr mentation and selection of rmusic, but to the great majority of amuscment goers, if they knew not to tho contrary, the playing of the young Austrians would puss for that of Gilmore’s band, and it will require a critical expertness to show whercin the American organization excels this band of boys from abroad.

The whole com- munity Is worked up over the matter, Motday morning a delegation of Protest ant ministers will call on N. Z. Clapp, prosi- deut of the aity school board, and ask that the coatract making the parochial schools part of the public school system be annulled on the ground that it is illegal. If the board pays 00 attention to this request, an injuuction will be served on the board. If no results are obtainable from this delogu- tlon, citizens will refuse to pay taxes on the ground tnat the mouey is not spent for the purpose for which it was levied, 1t is understood thut the local Catholics are unable to take any action in the matter because it has gove out of their hanas to the pope. PR move to provent the parochial schools from shuring in the public school fund is based on Lthe charge that the contract be- tween tbe parochial authorities and the city school bourd, providing that no religious doctrive shall be taught in tho schools be- tween the hours of 9 a. m.aud 4 p m. 1s beiug openly violated, as the Cathoilo cate- chism 13 taught between 1 and 1:80 p. m.

The inspector’s duty is to act justly. Nothing more or 'ess.

Mr. Talbot theu took the book containing a file of ms letters on this subject for months, and showed where both rustlers and large owners had been doeprived of the profits of sales because the title to cattle marketed by them was not clear or the brand had been changed. “In some instances,” said Mr. Talbot, “‘the legitimate raisers have bought stolen 'stock from the rustlers at a discount, but we have aetected the changod brand und always hold the money from the salesof such cattle for the mun whoso brand ud evidently been put primarily on the catcle.” “How many brands aro there used by stockmen of botn high and low degree in Wyomirg “Therc are something over 5,000.

Several hundred people visited tho West- ern Art association exhibition last night to takea last look at tho pictures and hoar tho report of the committee upon awarding the medals for tho year. M- Linmger profaced the announcement of the commitiee’s report by offering n few timely remarks about the exhibition. He said that it was the fivst art exhibition ever held in Omaha that had been both a financial and artistic success. great exhi- bition of last winter nbad been a money losing venture, although it was a great artistic success. This had been asuceess from both points of view and was a matter over which the Western Art association had reason to feel proud. Mr. Lininger also advised the members not to in- dulge in fault finding after the awards of the committes had been made known. These gentlemen had been selected because th were thoroughly compotent to Judgz the merits of the work, and their decision shouid not bec the cause of usoless fault finding, becaus would be absolutely impossible to ex: ploase all of the competitors, The due of the committee should be takon, he said, as final, and everybody should acquiesce good- uaturedly. Awards of the Committee. Mr. Lininger then announced the report of the committee as follows: Tne association medal for best figure painting, Mrs. Emma Richardson Charry of Denver;' the Lininger medal for best stiil life, Miss’ Harriot Her- shoey of Omaha; the Thayer medal for best water color, Miss Gertie Young of Brownell hall; medal for best china painting, Miss Leta Harlocker, Kearney.

Herold, Miss Snowden, Charles Craig, Miss Ethel ns and Mrs. Mumaugh, Thbe latter lady refused to permit her work to enter the compotition for weda: and the committee commonded her work very highly. The report of the committee seemed to give quite general satisfaction and after the different pictures had been labelled thoy re- ceived a great deal of very close attention from tl:ose preseat, . Mr. Wallace of the Omaha Art school had a portrait of Mr. Scott of the Chicago Horald on exhibition at the hall last night.

WAY THE WHITE METAL IS NOT USED, Actions of the Goveraments ot the World—wmr. K ter Points Out the Evils of Free Rosew Coinage. There was a largo attondance at the meet ing of the Lincoln club hold atits rooms in Tie Bee building last night. The orator of the eveniag, Hon. A. P, Hop- kins, spoke upon the silver question. Moncy, ho said, was thetool of exchange, the com- modity for which the people wore wiiling to exchange every other commodity. At time it was slaves and cattle; at another to- bacco; at another the skins of animals and then gold and silvor. Money must be stablo and casily divisible. He aid not recoznize any proper substitutes, or promises to pay, as truo money. Take the &0 gold piece—tho wetal was worth in the metat markat of tho world gs much as indicated vy its stamp., This was not truo with the silver dollar, Its stamp certified that it was worth §1, but its ractal was worth only from 73 to nts. This was what was the matter with free coinage. Put the cheap dollar against the bilur that contained 10) cents in value and the true dollar would soon be driven out of existenc ono Silver Damonetiz tion. In giving a bistory of the coinago of silver, he said that it was more proper to say that silver was demonetized in 1853 instead of 1873, as claimed by the silver men. Between 1550 ana 1576 §3,000,000,000 of gold was pro- duced and put into " circulation, This dvove out the silver and there was not enough silver for cha Germany. to reform, in 1873 commenced to call in tier silver and in France its coinage was restricted ut tho mints. Later on, as silver declined, sho closed hier mints against the coinage. Since 1878 there hus not been @ full coinage of silver n any country in Europo. What chéapened sitver in the early part of the century was the large output from Mex- ico. In 178, with every munt in Europo closed agaiust tho full coinage of silver, tho result was that this country biad piled up in its vaults £00,000,00 in silver. Previous to 1861 the country produced but littie silver. This wes caused by the lack of transporta- tion and tho lack of facility for mining. The decline in the value was ot caused unfriendly legislation, but by tho large out- put. 'The policy of this country should be to wait until Burope would join. ~This countr be said, was indopendent and should stand by the gold basis until the countries of Iu- ropo would unite on a bimetallic valuation, Ireo coinage meant a jump of from 100 to 75 cents, I'mis would drive the gold out of sight and coatract the circulation.

The story was told in a mochanical way, as though Mrs. Beals had learned it by rote, having repeated it so many times, Police Captain Burns was the next wit. ness, He told of the arrest of Mrs. Dennis, Ho said tuat as soon as she opened tho door to his loud kuocking, she said: **You're too late, The child is safe at home, and Mr. Beals has ordered the poli off tho track,” Burns said that at first sne alleged that six men with drawn pistols compelled her to stoal wne child, later she said that there were only four men.
