STORY OF A SECRET SERVICE SLEUTH Diligénoe of Detectives Finally Rewarded— Whaltress Become Helress—Tom Haldwin's Fiest Parachute Buttercup in the Baggage Koom. an Jump - There was an officer of the government secret service in Omahaa couple of days ago, and in the course of conversation with an old friend he got to talking “'shop. ““There are sleuths and sicuths, “but1 meta man the other day,over Towa, who, in my opinion, is one of the best in the country, and he hasn't got a national reputation either, principally because ho doesn’t believe in notoriety and tries to avoid as much ns possible getting his name before the public. Odd for a detective, sn't it? ‘"“t\rll. 1 could tell you of a lot of instances wherein this man's superior ability has cropped out inthe exercise of his wonderful judgment and reasoning powers, but I haven't the time. Imerely wanted to tell you one case illustrating the pertinacity with which some men will hang onto a job. “A number of years ago there was u case of mysterious disappearance down in Mis- sourf. A wealthy farmer (all farmers arc wealthy and prominent when they get into print, you know) went on a trip to Australia. When the time arrived for him to materialize he failed to appear, and inasmuch as he was one of the really and truly weil-fixed ones, and wasalso supposed to have had a considerable sum _on his person, it was taken for granted that there had been foul play, and my friend, tho detective, wus sent for. “When he arrived on the scen ¢ he found very slight grounds to work on, but he didn't stand around and look wise and then o awav. He learned that the missing man had started from Australia all right, and thut one person who lived in the littlo town close to his home thought he had seen him, about the time he was duo to arrive, getting off the rear platform of a night train; but the man was not quite sure. A “Well, sir, my fricnd made up his mind what to do in less than no time. He went and hired out to the missing man's wife as a farm hand, believing that, somehow or other, ho would eventually learn more that than in any other. For four- teen long months he worked in servitude on that farm without a single thread of evidence to reward him. Soon after going there he got the impression that the woman of the house und the other hired man, who had been working there for some time previous to the farmer’s disap- pearance, were a bit sweet on each other, and this impression led to a graver conclus® ion, 80 ho kept & close watch, but nothing came of his vigilance during all tho time of his stay. The suspects scemed to be on friendly terms, but did not act like two per- sons with a terrible secret between them. “He had several times searched the house for something to put him on the right track, but to no purpose. Finally one day the sus- pects went to town to attend the circus and the detective resolved to make the most of their absence. The day before he had heard the woman order a boy, who worked on tho place, to throw some rubbish down #n oid abandoned cistern, which was under the floor of the woodshed, and of tho existence of which he had mnot previously known, so when he was left with the boy he sent the lad away on a long errand and_pro- ceeded to go through tho cistern, which he found 1o be u deev one, with about six feet of rubbish in it. It took him quite a while to make any progress with the work, as the rubbish hud become matted and settled, but ho dug away and finally found_just what he was looking for—the body of the missing farmer. About an hour later the guilty couple were under arrest, charged with murder, to wh afterward confessed, stating that their victim had comein on that late night train and was cating his supper when they, taking his own statement for it that no ouc had seen him arrive, brained him with an ax and threw his body into the cistern. The man was hung and the woman was sent to the penitentiupy for life.” d he, in Mistook It tor u Cyolone, “About the first parachute jump made in America was made by Prof. Tom Bald- win,” said u traveling man at the Murray yesterduy. “It was performed with at Quiney, T Tt was in 1 The pr fessor is an old Quinsy boy and named his first balloon after the burg of his nativit; 'or months the feat of Baldwin's pe: Jump, which was 1,200 feet, set the country wild, He thereupon decided to adopt the parachute act as & profession, aud has since followed it with overwhelming succe It soars high above eve other profession on earth.

It soems that when Buldwin sprang from his balloon, after getting far boyond the heirht ho first anticipated and swung to the earth under bis parachute, the airship got away. It was filled, in addition to gas, with o roaming desire to explore the surrounding country. Accordingly it drifted miles away into a lower Illinois county. When the balloon ‘died’ 1t descended rapidly into s quiet cornfield, where the unsophisticated son of a horny handed farmor was at work. In- stantly he took to his heels and rushed breathlessly to the farm house. He ran as he never did before. His eyes bulged out in abject horror, und he sank on the threshold of his home almost overcome with fear. *What on earth is the matter with you, 'Lige?” exclmmed his father, as he brushed a handful of alfalfa from whiskers that had lhn' years openly defied the scissors’ artistic s, *Lock the door, pap,” shouted the boy. “Take to the cellar; iv's a cyclono.

After breathlessly waiting for the Pawnee City rotary zephyr that neyer came, the farmer and his son plucked up courage, went out and investigated the life- less body of Tom Baldwin's bailoon, and afterward shipped it to him in response to a card he had inserted in an agricultural weekly usking for the whereabouts of his lost pet.” Chaurms of Populur Farlanoe, Fire Reporter Nate Elliott, who has just roturned from a visit to the fair, tells a little anecdote illustrative of the quick manner in which the untutored savage ‘“‘catches on” to American vernacular, He was standing on the bank of the lagoon when a little Esquimau paddled towards him in a small canoe. The importation from the ice re- glons was such a funny-lookivg specimen of his kind that the Omaba man decided to draw him into conversation, so he bailed him with *Hello, Shorty, where do you hail from 1" horty,” however, was not there to converse on personul subjects. He had s whole canoe-load of Arctic curios, and ne was bent on exchunging them for depreciated American silver dollars, “You want buy " he queried, pointing to his stock. “Not today,” replied the visitor, say, where are you from and how many are there of yout” By this time, with regular Yanwee anxiety to get about his business, “Shorty” was Jome distance from the bank and casting his eyes about fora prospective customer, but he did turn his head just long enough to sall back: “Labladoh, Hoty-nine, Tla-la-la. boom-de-lay—," and he was still singing that once popular air und Jaying for trade us far A the Omaha man could seo him, ‘‘but, Buge ws Slightly Mixed wA laughable’ incident occurred here re- cently,” said & well known hotel clork lusy evening. *It is customary in checking buu- dles and valises at the hotel stand to give n check to the guest and retain the other ono on the straps.

It is now protty certain that the members of the city council aud the city officials who have been referred to in the Johnson report will not meet with the taxpayers committee the appointed time next Tuesday night At the last meeting of the taxpayers com- mittee a few of the councilmen were present and all they then asked was to seea com- plete copy of the Johnson report. They were allowed to go to Johnson's oftice and make a copy. This work ®as done by : city clerk’s office and the copy d over to City Attorney Van Dusen. Tig Beg reporter was told last night that but one member of the council has ever called at the attorney’s office to look over the committee allegations. “I regret that 1| ever went near the com- mittee,” said one city oMeial, “'and one thing is certain, Ishall notattend any more of th sittings. 1 consider the whole thing being done for political purposes,” Another city official said: *“This whole work of that taxpayers, so styled, cominit- tee is nothing but politics. 1f these gentle- men desire any information in regard to official acts lot them go to the officer who has the books and papers on file and secure whatever information they desire. It is not business to cail the council and city oficinls together at a public meeting to rehash what has been done during the past years There is no business whatever in any such a proposition, If there was an action pending, something upon which th public oficial was about to pass upon, it would be all fair enough to call a mass meet- ing and get the opinion of taxpayers, but to meet for the simple purpose of casting in- sinuating remarks about officials for what was done one, two or three years ago is foolish and 1 do not believe that the present city oficials will be led into any such trap. 1 for one willnot.

Another Prize fight, Walker and McCoy, local heavyweights, had a ten-round fight at Surpy Mills early yestorday morning. Some time ago these men fought forty-six rounds and the contest was declared & draw.

Thero is unbroken sympathy and unity of action everywhere, no vagrant atom or world, but all are marshaled in order and made to keep perfect step in the march of time and the vlan of God. ““I'his is the deduction of science.
