Tt takes time to give a town the airs and ways of a metropolis, 80 too does it take time, patience and capital to estab- lish for one’s ‘business a reputation for excellence and fair dealing.. For years W. S. Balduff has stood as the repre- sentative caterer of Omaha, having a position hero analagous to that of Sherry in New York or Dexter in Phila- delphia, acquiring this reputation through a personal attention to all the details of his business, giving to it u thorough training acquired from all the hest establishments of a similar kind in the east. Bal- duff, since his oeccupancy of his beautifvl store on Farnam street has had a desire to add to his business a lunch- con feature, a quiet place where ladies down town shopping, and where busi- ness men who have an hour at midday might be served with refreshments, croquettes, patties, in addition to an ice or some of the dainty creations of the con- fectioner’s art. And the well known ca- terer has at lust realized what has long been his d his establishment now being in a position to serve patrons with V& in all forms, while from 11:30 to 2 he serves a hot luncheon that for ex- cellence of cooking and esmpleteness of service is not excelled by any similar place west of New York. The bill of fare is always well consid- ered and patrons will find at Balduff's a pleasant aiv of elegance and refinement which has not been a distinguishing feature of places of a similar kind in the city. Theve has been a crying need for just such a pl that, free from res- taurant features, would still at certain hours serve a luncheon speedily and well.

Me- Daniels, charged with embezzlement, was given his preliminary hearmg before Judge Fowler last evening. The evidence went to show that Mr. Greek had been appointed receiver of n stock of hardware goods in South Omaha two years ago and that he had never made a satisfactory settlement with the former proprietors, McDaniels & Scott. Judge Fowler bound the defendant over to the district court in the sum of £,000. Late last night Mr. Greek secured a bond and was released from custody.

Bennett Co.’s store, el FLEECED A FARMER, Two Smooth Confidence Men Successfally Work an Old Racket. A Drilliant example of suburban justice was disclosed in the course of & tale of woe that was unfolded at police headquarters last evening. The' narrator was G. W. Mor- gan, a farmer, who posed as another victim of a very old confidence game. Ho had the good luck to land the swindlers 1 jail, from Which they were quickly released through the blunder of a country justice of the peace. Morgan resides about five miles northiwest of ‘Louisville, in Sarpy county, and two weeks ago yesterday was on his return from a visit with relatives at Carroll, Ia. He journeyed safely until two slick appearing individuals boarded the train and one of them soon engaged him in conversation, Morgan had his two little girls with him and the stranger at once stepped 1nto his good graces by well divected combvliments be- stowed upon the children. The stranger was a large man with o heavy red mustache. He claimed to be a wholesale merchant in Om: and said that he was returning from a trip to Boone, Ia. Finding that Morgan lived near TLouisville, he inquired the names of some of the busi- ness men there and then still further in- gratiated himself into the confidence of the by declaring that he was in the habit of selling large bills of goods to them and was delighted to meet a mutual friend. At this stage in the gamea smaller man entered and the two strangers greetea each other cordially. From thenon it was the old army game and Morgan was the sucker. He advanced &5 on a check for $720 on the Liucoln National bank which was signed by “Homer & Son.” Assoon as they obtained the money the sharpers went into the bag- gage car and left the train at Valle; The farmer discovered that he had been imposed on and started on their trail. He overhauled them at Council Bluffs, where they were ar- rested by the local police. Ono of them turned out to be Harry Hamilton, one of the best known confidence men 1o the west, but the big man w a _stranger. As the crime was committed at Valley the prisoners were sent back there forexamination, Morgan and his little girl positively identified them as the men who had robbed him, and the ggageman on the train corroborated thew testimony. Nevertheless, the justice of the peace, who 1s also mayor of Valley, con- cluded that there was no dence on which to hold the swindlers and they were both released. The police of Omaha and Council Bluffs are looking for them, but it is be- lieved that they will uot stay to take chances on finding another court so accom- modating as the Valley justice shop, Hamilton was sent to the pen from Omaha for a similar crime, and was released ago. He declared tnat he had and has been let alone by the police. This is the first trick that he has been caught at since. ——— DR. SLEEPER’S RIGHTS. Claims of an Omaha Inventor of A Mag- netic Treatment System, Ina half column article that appeared in the Philadelphia Record a short time ago Dr. A. @’ Arsonval, a French inventor and physician of nigh repute, was proclaimed to be the originator of a magnetic appliance, consisting of a glass or wooden cylinder, around which is wound one or more layers of light electric light cable, *“This,” says the Record, ‘“‘constitutes a sort of solenoid, in the interior of which a patient to be treated is placed. The French inventor claims thut by thus subjecting the patient to the influence of the oscillatin; waves of magnetic fluid wonderful ther: poutic phenomena are produced, noticeably among which 1s the increase of physical nutrition in the patient.” It secms, however, that Omaha is ina position to dispute a part of the claim or the Record, insofar as the origin of the in- vention is concerned, for Dr, C. L. Sleeper of this city insists that he is the iuventor of this system of magnetic treatment, and has been operating an institute here for the treatment of cases in this manncr for more than a year. In speaking of the matter, Dr. Sleeper said that he had been pursuing’ experiments in this divection for more than twenty years, and ever since the fall of 1888 has Lad one of the solenoids, mentioned in the Record article, in his own house, He said that a description of the mechanical construction of his appliance was minutely detailed in the May number of the Omaha Clinie, and he was of theopinion that it would have been an casy matter for any physician 1o have constructed one like it from that description. About two years ago, he filed an application fora patent at the patent office at Washington, since which time he has been using the applianca for the treatment of disease, and with most flatter- ing results. Dr. Sleeper feels that what- ever credit is due for this electrical inven- tion properly belongs to him, and he is un- \vl]lling to have it unjustly accorded to an- other. e EXPENSIVE TOY, Chlldren Cause & Lamp Explosion and the Destruction of Two Homes, Two children playing with a lamp at 1323 South Third street last evening at 7 o'clock caused the destriction by fire of tho one- story frame cottage and two-story barn be- longing to Johu Kellren.

Archie Richmond, one of the best known colored men in the city, died Thursday at his residence at Forty-fourth and Brown streets, at the age of 47 years. Richmond was for a long time employed by Tng Beg, and his muscalar arm was the motive power that turned off the first copies of the paper. Tt was then printed on a Cincinnati hand power press with a capacity of 375 copies per hour. Every afternoon iv was Archie’s duty to manipulate the lever until the edition was off. During the past few years Archio had re- tived from active work, He was marticd to his second wife about two years ago, and she died about a year after their marriage. He was a member of Kxcelsior lodge, Auncient, F'ree and Accepted Masons. The funeral will be held from the African Metho- dist church at Eighteenth and Webster strects at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. “Commodore' Butler's Doith, William H. Butler, colored, died at his home, 1415 California street, Eriday, of pneumonia, after an illness of three days. Mr. Butler had been a miliar figure in Omaha for almost a_generation, coming here soon after the war, during the latter part of which he served in the Iirst colored regi- ment that went out from Virginia, the state in which he was born and where he was licld as a slave until slavery was no more. Mr. Butler supported himself by doing janitor service, being employed at the New York Life building at the time of his death. He was for years janitor at the old police court and city hall at Fourtceath and Davenport streets, He was a faithful em- ploye and generally liked for his honeety, his friendliness of manner and his disposi- tion to accommaodate. He w a member of thé colored Masonic fraternity, of the Washingtonian club which is a social organ- tion of colored people, of the Thayer Guards, a colored military company, and of the Kunights of abor. Osing to the fact that his wuawes were small he was unable to keep up his dues:n these organizations and a subscription is being taken to defray the expenses of the funeral. The remains will be buried tomorrotw Forest Lawn. Mr. Butler's wife died about a year ago. He had no children, exceptan adopted daugh- ter, now grown. He was often a delegate to city and county republican conventions, and will long be pleasantly remembered by the colored people of the “city for the part he took, singing songs and making speeches, in entertainments given by them.

This was on a Wednesday. When he returned Saturday he found that his locker had been broken into 1n his absence and the coin taken, Suspicion rested at once on ndley because he remarked to some of his friends on the intervening Thurs- day morning that Walsh had lost a large sum of mouey. —_—— LOCAL BREVITIES, Building permits to the amount of 450 were issued yesterday by the inspector of buildings.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK AMONG WORKINGMEN State Labor Congross Will Moeet | City~Sparks from the Anvil- of Interest to Men of Muscle, This ews The last year has witnessed a large in- crease in the .aembership of the various labor organizations of the 2ity. Many of the leadiog local labor leaders predict that next year will be even batter, as they claim the principles they aro teaching are being better understood and accepted every day. Another thing thav is claimed will help to build up the organizations in the future in Omaha is the fact that they are all trying to pull together harmoniously and lhelp one another, . As an illustration in the way they do business now, if a local union or assembly has trouble that noeds adjustmrent, o trial is first mado by the single organiza- uon to sewlo the matter, and if it fails the grievance, with full _particulars, is then referred to the Central Labor union which i8 composed of threo members from each of the various unions and assemblics in this city and South Omaha. It will readily be seen that the centrai body, being made up of three of the most experienced men of each organization, is a very deliberative body and will not plunge hastily into anything, and especially where there is the slightest doubt about tho justness of the stand taken by the organization which brings in the trouble. In this manner many of the conflicts between employer and employe are amicably settled without hostilities or radi- cal action, which havo always herctofore provailed when dificulties were handied by Inexperienced men, Tho emergency or grievance committee is composed of men who have been members of the central or- ganization at least one year. This commit- tee claims to be entirely impartial in all matters and says it will protect the inter- ests of an houest employer as quickly as the employe. Nebraskn Labor Congress. The next meeting of the Nebraska State Labor congress will be held in Omaha, January 7, 1804, During the month of De- cember all the delegates who will be in at- tendance will be clected by their respective organizations, George W.
