Sald to Hate Handle any's Busines as Samuel Theodore a defaulter? This question has been asked many times since the Standard Oil company's manager died from an overdose of morphia in his room at the Ogden house a few days ago. It was the first question asked by the reporters after the news of his death was received, and was propounded to the new local man ager who promptly came over from Omaha and took up the work here. Mr. Smith, the new manager, was familiar with the de- tails of the office, for he had been arrang- ing for several weeks prior to take The dore’s place for o year at least. His as- surance that the accounts were perfectly straight went a long way toward setting at rest the suspiclon that Theodore had com- mitted suicide, but now, while the sound of the earth falling upon his coffin has searcely died away, new and ugly stories are being bruited about, which attaints him with self- murder and brands him a defaulter, That he cominitted suicide there was enough evi- dence at the start to leave little room for doubt, for three pill boxes were found lying on his dresser, two of them empty and one containing a few morphia powders. was not a scrap of paper other than a news- paper found in his room except three en- velopes addressed to his wife in New Or- ans. A little wood stove in the room showed the ashes of a large number of papers that had been burned a few hours previously None of his clothes except those on his person were found, not even a change of linen or underwear. But his friends were loth to entertain the sulcide theory, for they could assign no legitimate reason for the deed, and the pub- lic gradually came around to their ay of thinking. But now a reason for his commit- ting self-murder has been found, for the Standard Oil compan: reluctantly gives out the fact that Theodore's books were in a bad shape at least, and that there is a shortage which s variously estimated, some hints fixing the amount as high as $5,000. Local Manager Smith still refuses to admit the truth of the rumors, and declares that the work of checking up his accounts has not been completed, or, in fact, that he has not been checked up at all. The mosf that he would say to the reporters yester afternoon was that the office work had been seriously neglected by Mr. Theodore on ac- count of his ill health. The books and ac- counts were all Kept in the headquarters of the company in Omaha, and he could neither affirm nor deny the story that a heavy short- age had been discovered. From all that can be learned, the com- mencement of the shortage dates back sev- eral years, and was continued until the date of his death. The general method was to make collections from merchants who, being carried on the books by open accounts, and when made they were credited to account, while other collections were never credited at all. Some merchants would pay in full each month, but they were also carried on the books from month to month as having open accounts, while the merchants hold receipts for payment in full. It is in these classes of accounts that the shortage has beeen discovered. The work of checking has not yet been finished, and the exact amount collected from dealers who hold re- ceipts in full, but who appear on the books as delinquents, cannot be determined until the company sends its agents over the terri- tory and hunts up the reczipts. The announcement will come as a great surprise to many people, who were familiar with the fact that Theodore drew a salary of $250 per month, and was saving in his habits alniost to the point of parsimony. The company of course Is making an effort to get control of his property, but it is all in such a shape that it cannot be got- ten at easily. He has §12,000 of life insur- ance that cannot be touched, a great degl of land and property Ip his wife's name, and his ready cash doesn’t seem to be easily materialized. He was under bond for $2,000, and this is sald to be about all the company is able to percelve in sight to meet the losses sustained. The Standard people pretended to be very reticent yesterday during the early part of the day, and it was utterly impossible to get anything else thun the most decided positive denials of the shortabe story from them, but an afternoon paper came out with an article that was so evidently furnished gratuitously and written by a lawyer that it left little doubt that it came from the com- pany itself and was published for a purpose. This purpose Was partially revealed by investigations last evening. Yesterday morn- ing General Manager Drake, Assistant Man- ager Ruth and Attorney Richard Hall came over from Omaha and called upon Mrs. The- odore at the residence of her cousin, Mrs. William Runyun, 109 Bluff street, and held a somewhat sensational interview with her, after excluding all the members of Mr. Run- yun's family and closing the parlor doors. They informed Mrs. Theodore of her hus- band’s shortage, telling her that it already amounted to between $4,000 and $5,000, and that their investigation had gone no further back than June 19, but that they were con- fident the defalcation had been going on all the years Mr. Theodore had been in thefr employ. They informed her that no one but themselves knew of the shortage, and that if she would sign an agrecment to make good the amount already found and all that might yet be discovered they would keep the matter a profound secret. As an additional inducement they threatened her with arrest and prosecution as an accessory it she refused. The strongest pressure was brought upon her to compel her to assign her husband’s life insurance or trans- fer her property, and the lady was only pre- vented doing so by the fact that she was so completely prostrated that she was physi- cally unable, She asked to be given until Monday to consider the matter, but before the gentlemen loft the house she recovercd sufficiently to Indignantly refuse the de- Theodore was seen by a Bee reporter A stated that she had no report of the shortage was she was utterly unable to even aagine where the money went to. She sald that Mr. Theodore had sent her but $125 since last November and $25 to the little girl. The money she used in going there was her own She was compelled to borrow $59 of a friend there to defray the cost cf her return when she received the news of her nd's death. She says that all th property Mr. Theodore has decded to her are two lots in Lincoln and two in Council Bluffs, and these transfe were made eight years ago, four years before he begun working for the company. The Kansas and Nebraska lands were her own, purchased with her money several years ago. Nearly all of the property Mr. Theodore was reputed to have proves to have heen hers and held in her name prior to their marriage. She feels most deeply th iel attack made upon her and her fricnds regard it as part of the company’s scheme to force her into com- pliance with their demand There are some very connected with Mr. Theodore's death. At 7 o'clock on the night of his death he had $160 in his pocket, $60 of which he intended to send to his wife. After his death only 15 cents could be found upon his person, In November Mrs. Theodore bought and paid for two suits of underwear, amounting to $27, and just before she started south she fixed up his shirts, thirteen in number, After his death only one shirt, and that a vagged one, could be found, and the only other wearing apparel that could be found was the suit of clothes he had on. Where they went to is as much a mystery as what became of his money. Acquaintances who knew something about the dead man's habits, say that he was engaged in speculations on the Chicago markets, and this will ac count for the absence of his money. All of the friends of the famfly, and they include people who have kuown them all of thelr married life, Indignately deny the cruel fntimation that there was any domestic fafelicity, and the many friends of Mrs. Theodore very warmly refute the charge doubt that the true, but remarkable facts There | DAIL I'HE OMAHA that she was responsible for her husband's undue demand for money, but say that she was even more saving than he NEW KIN Extraordinary Vegotable Whose C s Becoming a Fad in Cou The most popular bees in Council Blufts, of course, are the Omaha Morning, Evening and Sunday Bees, and throughout the state, on account of prohibition restrictions, the second most popular Is the bottled BB, the thinly disguised and guileful lager that is fixed up in the river towns for the interior prohibitionists. But a new kind of bee has appeared whose cultivation promises to be one of the most popular and useful fads of the day. - Some time ago a well known and wealthy lady, whose son is traveling, received from him a two-quart bottle filled with curious lit- tle pods that somewhat resembled hops, only smaller und of a different color. With the package came a letter telling of the origin of the pods, their use and their name. They originally came from Alaska, where they were discovered growing on the roofs of caves. Hanglug from the rocky celling in great bunches and always slightly in motion, they very much resembled great swarms of bees, and this name naturally attached to them when it was found that each pod was a complete organization within itself, capa- ble of it own reproduction and having no other than a fraternal connection with its fellows. Th were a great curlosity, and became of still ater interest when it was found that the untutored children of nature, the Alaskan savages, would come to the caves and eat great quantities of them after they had feasted on sea cow and wal- rus blubber, and were then capable of golng back and eating halfa whale. When asked why they ate them, they rubbed their stomachs, pointed to the flint rocks and then pointed down thelr throats, indlcating with natural humor of simple savages their abllity to digest rocks with aid of these bees. A closer examination showed all sizes of the pods, or whatever-you-may-call them, from those fully developed to those still in an embryonic state. A quantity of them were gathered and sent home by the members of the party, and since then they have been making a great record as affording immediate relief and a positive cure ACURL T ] LR dyspepsia. r medical purposes they placed in a hottle and kept covered with water. This water is drawn off from time to time and drank after meals. It has a sparkling, champagney appearance and a very pleasant flavor, slightly like hops. Several cases of indigestion that have sisted all other forms of treatment ylelded quickly to the pleasant charm the bees. The process of reproduction is quite rapid, and is going on constantly whenever the bugs or berries are Kept covered with sugared water. In the dry form they are inert and motion- less, but whenever they are moistened they show an actlvity that is strangely animal- Itke. The lady has given a portion of her store to various friends, and they in turn have “swarmed” and the extra product given to others until at the present time there are cuite a number of the interest- ing colonics in town, each busily engaged in distilling the precious nectar that is a greater blessing to dyspeptics than the fire that Prometheus stole from the gods and gave to mortals when the earth was young. have of SOME FINANCIAL FACTS, What Auditor Gould's Report Will Show to the New City Council Tomorrow Night.

Cash on hand in city treasury March 1, Auditor Gould, among other matters, rec- ommends that before any more improvement work is done®hat the system of raising certificates 0f assessment against property, as now in force at Creston, la.. should be investigated. Such a system will obviate the necessity of the fssuing of bonds and will make a much better showing as regards indebtedness than the present method. He also calls attention to the fact that part of the intersection bonds will reach the ten- year period this summer, when they can be called in, and recommends that funds avail- able should be used to retire these bonds as s00n as possible. The Increase of general fund warrants Is due to the use of money from the police fund to take up past due bonds. These sums will be replaced as soon as the deferred in- terest on speclal assessments are collected, which will be during the year 1895. The sum of $12,800 was so used and the mort- gage on the South Main street hose house, amounting to $5,400, was also pald off during the year. Warrants are bringing 95 cents, as against 97 to 98 one year ago, in spite of the financial depression which has prevailed, and all bonds have been disposed of at par and accrued interest after a most rigid in- vestigation by the purchasers. e 9376111 54,091.32 4.900.52 Total ....... 00 00 26,651.00 855,66 LADIES' $7.00 CAPES Bennlson Bros, GRAND EASTER SALE MONDAY, Prices that talk for themsely Ladies' new spring capes, all colors and black, at half price Monday-—$2.50, $3.98 and $6.00 each.

DES MOINES, March 17.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—The republican sena- tors who are honestly endeavoring to carry out the pledge of the party platform, after carefully canvassing the situation, believe that the Carpenter bill, properly amended, can pass the senate and have agreed to make radical changes in that measure be- fore again putting it on its passage. The word ‘“spirituous” will be stricken out. 8o as to legalize the sales only of the milder beverages, and the signatures of a majority of all the voters will be required to the petition for calling an election. The saloon will also be confined to cities having not less than 6,600 inhabitants and pro- hibited in the residence portion of places. With these amendments, with resub- mission, there are twenty-two or possibly twenty-three republican votes in sight for the measure, lacking only three of a con- stitutional mafority. These votes are ex- peated to be furnished by Senator Dent of Plymouth from the democratic side of the house in return for republican assistanco in locating the mew insane asylum at Lemars. The republicans who will not support a local option bill or any measure legalizing aloon are understood to be: Andrews, Chantry, Cheshire, Eaton, Finn, Gorrell, Jewett, Kilburn, Perrin, Phelps, Turner and Vale. ~ Senators Cheshire and Perrin take this course In obedience to instructions from their districts. Senators Jamison and Rowan will give only a reluctant support to the bill, should they vote for it at all, and this only for the sake of the party, It looks as if the fate of all legislation of this character depends on the action of those two senator: ’ The legislative sessions were unimportant today. The senate passed the house bill appropriating $20,000 to the State Agricul- tural society to ‘Hquidate its indebtedness and the house disenssed the Young bill to provide for road improvement, without reach- ing results, e Going to Hed by Compass. “I always sleep; with my head to the north,” gaid a well known electrician to the Pittsburg Dispatel. “Why?

He promised if eelcted to give the citizens an honorable and satisfactory administratjon. 8. Chesley placed in nomination W. G Sloan for treasurer, but when the vote was taken to make the choice unanimous there was one “no.” A call of the roll was demanded, and when the clerk announced the result it was found that seven men had voted no. Mr. Sloan was declared the nominee and responded to a call for a speech. He prom- ised to work harder for this ticket than he had ever done in the past. When the clerkship was taken up names of Del Pierce, B. H. Roberts, Berton Rice and Henry Ditgen were presented. Mr. Pierce recelved a majority of all the votes cast and was declared the nominee. The gentleman thanked the delegation warmly and promised if elected to leave a recol behind that no man need be ashamed of, For police judge, Wiley H. Beckett, T. W. Howe, Z. P. Hedges and A. J. Murdock were placed in nomination. There was consider- able jangle as to how the votes should be counted. One delegate suggested to drop the lowest man after the first ballot, but T. M. Munger brought down the house when he gald he arose in the Interest of harmony He sald there were too many candidates and the “‘convention ought to agree on some one man.” The fellow sat down amid the howl and his explanation was left unfinished. When the votes were finally counted Mr. Howe had a sufficlent number of votes to receive (he nomination. He made brief re- marks and was encored, Upon motion of Mr. Cheek, time was given to the delegates in each ward to caucus on names for the council. After the caucus the chairmen of the delegations reported that the votes had been divided between six can- didates. The Becond ward agreed upon Joseph Anderson, the Third upon Walter Slate, and the Fourth upon O. E. Bruce. The First ward held another caucus and simmered _down their votes to A. L. Brain- ard, O. Bratton and M. Maybery. The selection of a nominee from this ward was then left to the entire convention, and A. L. Brainard was chosen. The gentleman was called for and boldly stated that he had no doubt of his election, and that he would give the office the attention It deserved. Waiter Slate and O. E. Bruce made brief remarks, thanking the delegates for the honor con- ferred. F. 0. Olson, J. D. Jones and E. D. Gideon were placed in nomination for the school board, Messrs. Olson and Gideon were nom- inated. Bach gentleman responded to a call for a speech and the committee adjourned. Independents Dissatisfied. In the language of the street, the inde- pendents are red headed at the turning down of their aspirants for office by the citizens’ convention. Either Judge Fowler or 7. P. Hedges would have pacified them, but each was given a cake of ice. In turning down Judge Fowler the convention dropped out the best police judge South Omaha has ever had. But he was an independent and that settied it. Z. P. Hedges is also an in- dependent and he did not get enough votcs to make any one man very happy. As a result of the knock-out of the inde- pendent aspirants it is quite likely that another ticket will be put in the field by this party. A caucus of the active members was held last night and it was practically agreed to nominate a full ticket and have it in the fleld by Tuesday. T, B.

Little Miss Muffet is a very small lady, but she has a record for bad breaks not equaled by any woman of four times her weight. She was lately bldden to an affair to hear some new man recite. Now, if there is anything this small lady dislikes, says the New York Recorder, it is to hear, as she ex- presses it, “grown-up men speak pleces.” So on this occasion Miss Muffet arrived at the festivity with malice aforethought quite late, Soon after her appearance a man whose name she did not hear was presented to her, and by way of starting conversation she inquired: “Has that creature done his elocution act yet? ““Yes,” replied the man, “‘he finished some time ago.” “How bad was it?” further inquired this indiscreet young plunger. 0, about the average, looking amused. “Thank heaven, T escaped it,” Muffet. “I came late on purpose think is likely to break out you? “No,” was the response, he shall not repeat the offense man." replied the man, sald Miss you don't he gain, do I can assure you for 1 am the N mproved Street Pavement, An improved system of street pavement has been adopted by the Philadeiphia c government.
