Montgomery, an old telegraph oper- ator, has been making a fat living during the last few days, collecting money with which to buy a wooden leg. What he col- lected he spent for tanglefoot.

People living in the northern part of the city are complaining on account of the large number of tramps that infest their neighbor- hood, The whole city Is alive .with them now, large numbers being ordered out of town every day by the police, The North- western yards and round house have been a favorite camping ground for them. As soon as they are ordered out of the yards they strike off in a northerly direction, and for the past two or three days they have been amping around Big Lake. The people who live there profess to be afraid to stir out of their homes day or night and have implored the police for more protection, Other towns in this vicinity seem to be suffering in like manner. Sheriff Campbell of Mills county sent word to the police that on Thursday several stores in Glenwood were broken into by professional burglars and about $1,000 worth of silks, boots, shoes and the like were taken. The same night a store at Henderson in the same county was entered and about $250 worth of property taken. ST. PAUL’ GUILD IN CORK. Forty Soclety Girls Give a Minstrel formance at Dohany's. The “Ebony Warblers,” heretofore known as St. Paul's guild, gave a minstrel per- formance at Dohany's opera house last Fri- day evening. The novel spectacle of forty society beauties, who had temporarily for- saken the rouge box for the stove polish, was tremendously interesting to the public, and when the curtain rose the forty darkies on the stage and something like 1,000 spec- tators in the parquet and balcony, viewed each other with mutual interest. Miss May Davenport ocupied her share of the center of the stage and took the part of the Inter- locutor, showing all the ignorance -and curiosity which an interlocutor must have in order to give the end women a chance to perpetrate their jokes. Mesdames Cummings and Mullis manipu- lated ‘the bones, and Mrs. Bower and Miss Grace Deming thrummed the tambourines. To these four is due the erelit for the success of a large portion of the entertalnment, for they had spent many sleepless nights in col- lecting a store of witticisms whose whiskers should not be gray, and their labors had been crowned with success. While a chest- nut could now and then be heard drop on the platform, for the most part their “gags’ were new and good. The hits which they gave almost cvery one of any local prom- inence were highly enjoyed by every one, with the possible exception of three or four soclety youths, who had rented a box and come armed with a telescope, a greased pig and other things, which were calculated to disturb the serenity of the brunettes before them. To them it was a most funereal affair, and one of the best parts of the enter- tainment was the mortification which hung about that box in great chunks. Two of the other boxes contained a party of eight young men, who had made special preparations to be there. They wore full dress suits, scarlet necktles, and plate glass diamonds that might have been used for paper weights during business hours. The complexions and general bearing of these young men indicated that they might be the proprietors of prosperous crap joints or that they might have made their millions as porters on board a Pullman sleeper. But it it was a mistake. They were Hon. Thomas Bowman, T. E. Casady, E. A. Trout- man, F. T. Seybert, B. A. Wickham, Perry Badollef, F. H. Evans and L. Zurmuehlln, jr. Their entrance threw a shadow over the audience, and many thought it would rain. But it merely thundered. The young ladies devoted considerable at- tention to the occupants of the boxes, and the sequel showed that the young men who had had the forethought to blacken their faces had decidedly the best of it, for, as is well known, a darky never blushes. The following was the program presented by the young ladies: Overture. <e.ee....Trocadero Orchestra PART I.

The city for the past week has been full of local amusement topics in various forms, such as minstrel shows and others too nu- merous to mention, but not to be for- gotten was the amusing sight at the Boston store silk sale last Friday. This week won't be any less exciting, as the syndicate sale is being revived dafly with new shipments of merchandise at prices far below compe- tition. Don't fail to see show window dis- play of different goods during the sale. For this week the program will be as fol- lows and s worthy of close atten‘ion: Mon- day and Tuesday, calico and sateen wrap- pers. Wednesday in corsets.

Atkins, manager for the Nebraska Teléphone company, has the promise of new quarters and a brand new multiple switch- board. The latter is now being. constructed in Chicago by the Western Electric com- pany. C. E. Yost, president of the D braska Telephone company, has decided that Council Bluffs Is deserving of better tele- phone service. In order to furnish this it will be necessary to have larger and better quarters. The Baldwin block has been se- lected, and work will begin at once getting the rooms on the fifth floor ready for the new switchboard, which will probably be delivered by May 15. It will be first-class, finished in mahogany and will have the very latest improvements. There will necessar- ily be many such in the way of new cables and poles. When all complete Mr. Yost says the improvements will cost about $10,000. Mr. Atkins says he believes that with the new office and system he will have 500 subscribers before May 1, 1895. One thing about the new system which will meet with the hearty approval of all who use the telephone is that '‘Central” will do all the ringing after the subscriber gives the first short ring. Any ring after the first will be taken as a signal from the subscriber for disconnection, and he will be discon- nected whether he wants to or not. He will have no trouble, however, in calling up cen- tral again and getting another connection. Under the present system a great deal of inconvenience has been caused the public by the Inability of the girls at the central of- fice to tell whether the subscriber was ring- ing for central or for the man at the other end of the Jine, and it must be confessed that they usually appeared to give them- selves the benefit of the doubt. Now all rings are intended for central, and there will consequently be no reason for the delay that has heretofore been such a drawback to the constant use of the telephone. Settle Down. Now that Kelly's army has come and gon: and none much the worse off for their visit, let us settle down to business once more and profit by the great lesson they have taught us. There is no doubt that a great deal of poverty nowadays is brought on by extravagance, and—oh, there's the moral: Don't be extravagant, but go to 919 Main street and T. B.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia., April 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: Your headlines to the dispateh from Atlantic April 26, “Woodmen Advance Agent Weakens—Graham of Coun- cil Bluffs Says Kelly, Baker and Spead Are Sharpers,” do me and also the Woodmen of the World an injustice, I said nothing of the kind. I did say, ‘“They were sharp, shrewd men.” In fact, the entire dispatch in regard to what is attributed to me Js distorted wi‘h the intention of putting a different meaning to what I really did say. The reason why I came home was because my business demanded it and not becausc I ‘was becoming “disgusted.” I have only very little more to say in regard to this matter, and that is that if the Rock Island road wishes to retain the friendship of the business men and shippers throughout this section of the country It had better call General Superintendent Dunlap in and let some one else attend to the business of the road, for if one-tenth of what I have heard is true his only object is to Incite Kell men to do some uglawful act that there may be an excuse to arrest and imprison or to call upon the militia of the state, pri- marily to protect their preperty, but in real- ity to create a riot. Now, only one thing more. Why does General Superintendent Dunlap travel with an armed body of men from station to station without having them regularly commissioned and sworn as peace cfficers? Very respectfully yours, R. 0. GRAHAM. Death is an unbdden visitor. Will he call tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year? ask yourself. It so, have I made such provision for those depending on me as I ought? The Pankers Life association of Des Moines affords such protection that you can go to bed every night feeling perfectly secure.

It was thought at first that he was dead, but an ex- amination showed that the pulse was still beating. The body was picked up and car- ried In the patrol wagon to the Woman's Christian association hospital, and, three hours after being put in one of the beds there, he was just beginning to move his limbs, but was ‘still unconscious. His phy- sicians stated that his chances for recovery were very slender.

He had not recovered consclousness, and 80 was unable to furnish any information himself as to either his identity or the cause of his injurfes.

There is another prospect of capturing the man Smith, who assaulted Constable Baker last New Year's day, if the city officials are correct in their guesses. They were tele- graphed yesterday by the authorities in Mis- souri Valley to be on the lookout for the man who shot the marshal there in the morning. The description they gave fits Smith, Blakely, Rook, or whatever name he may be going by now.

Maguire, ~ California—They should treated with humanity and respect, It ulmu‘l’l(l. not be assumed that they are coming for un- lawful purposes. . Their financial condition should not be counted against them, and they should have that respectful consideration ;‘hn‘A‘L“Amt;ricn:I citizbns are entitled to who etition for laws they think wi lh“r(cnndlnnn. v D McCall, Massachusetts—The Coxe; ought to be given a pleasant recsption, Coombs, New York—I dc not believe that Coxey will attempt, to violate the law. His scheme Is visionary enough to the intelligent masses, but I have never thought he would attempt to commit any violence, Bartholdt, Missouri—They are misguided, but earnest men. They should be treated kindly and furnished shelter, but congress can do nothing for them, and cannot be ex- pected to. Their appeal will have no effect upon the members, although they have con- siderable reason for making the demands they do. Cooper, Indiana—Theirs is a mistaken theory, yet the people have been given much Justification to do as they are doing by political platforms and stump speakers. Cannon, Illinois—I think congress should glve these people one hearing. When this is done there will be nothing left for them to do but to return to their homes. Of course, I do not advocate the government taking care of these people while they are here. Geary, California—I look upon the coming of the Industrial army to Washington as a matter of so little consequence as to be hardly worth consideration. I have given the matter no thought at all. McCleary, Minnesota—I think members of the army should be treated In the same manner as any other American citizens, with proper safeguards for their good ccnduct. I am not in favor of ane appropriation by the government, however, to feed these men while they are here, Kiefer, Minnesota—I think that the goy- ernment should see that these men are properly housed and fed while here, given an_opportunity to present their grievance: and that we should in every way endeavor to convince them of the impossibility of granting their demands. Hartman, Montana—I can see no objection to giving these people a hearing, but so as making any appropriation for their su tenance while here is concerned, I would ob- ject to that. Johngon, North Dakota—I do not think the government should establish the prece- dent of appropriating any money for the support of an idle body of men like Coxey's army. T think if they are let alone they will ultimately return to their homes. Cummings, New York—As long as they cbey the laws, grant them the same privi- lege as other folks—no more, no less, il Educators Meet at Ashland. ASHLAND, Neb,, April 28.—(Special Tele- gram to Ihe B2:)—A teachors Intitute was held today comprising the teachers from Saunders, Sarpy, Cass and Lancaster countles.

MISSOURT VALLEY, Ia., April 28.—(Spe- clal Telegram to The Bee)—As the result of a battle with burglars in this city this morn- Ing one man was instantly killed, another was fatally hurt and a third received a flesh wound. The dead and injured are: . ADNA WHITNEY, city marshal, dead. PETER JOHNSON, fatally wounded, J. B. LYON, shot in the side, The tragedy was the most terrible ever oc- curring in this vicinity. In the last few weeks many petty burglaries have been com- mitted here, the latest being that of J. B. Lyon's grocery store Wednesday evening. Willlam Henderson was shortly placed under watch at his residence, where two strangers, named Johnson and Davis, have been stay- ing. Certain suspicious appearances led to the swearing out of a scarch warrant by Mr. Lyon to find the stolen property. The warrant was placed in Marshal Whit- ney's hands. After keeping the building guarded during the night, he with a posse entered the Hencerson hcuse at 5 o'clock this morning. The occupants offered resistance and opened fire, which was returned by the officers, there being thirty or more shots fired. One of the burglars’ bullets plerced the breast of Whitney, Killing him instantly. Johnson received four bullets, one in cach thigh, one in the shoulder and anothe through the lungs. His wounds are doubt- less fatal, although he still lives. Davis broke and ran and a d patch from Loveland says that a man partially an- swering his description boarded the train at that point this morning. This vicinity is nevertheless being thoroughly scoured. Henderson and his wife are under arrest, having waived examination, and have been sent to the county jail at Logan. Excitement is at fever heat and there is much strong talk of lynching, as Whitney was a popular and most efficient officer. A reward has been raised for the capture of Davis. Davis is supposed to have come from Grand Island or Fremont, Neb., and John- son’s home is supposed to be Rock Island, Il Both are desperate characters, while Henderson fs an ex-switchman and does not bear a savory reputation, having been idle for six months and more. The plunder stolen from Lyon's store was found concealed in and about the Henderson residence, so that no doubt exists that the searching party were on the right track. Being armed with the search warrant, the officers of course had a right to enter the house, and the resistence offered by the men when they knew this fact shows their desperate character. Whitney was about 35 years old and un- married, living with his mother and sister, who are prostrated with grief. The entire community s wrought up, and if opportunity offered would no doubt do violence to the perpetrators of the violent act. Lynching has been talked strong this after- noon notwithstanding the removal of Hender- son to the county jail at Logan, but it is likely that calm counsels will prevail. Whit- ney's popularity as an officer extended through all classes of citizens except the extreme tough element. A report came in from a searching party at 8 o'clock p. m. that several farmers north of town about six miles have seen an armed man corresponding somewhat to Davis' de- seription, and that he had drawn and threat- ened to use his gun if not permitted to pass. The farmers are aroused and out on his trail. A large reinforcement left here within half an hour, and will search till dark. There is a fence north of here ten or twelve miles to which this man is doubtless heading. A coroners’ jury was empanclled this morning and heard the testimony of several eye-witnesses to the affray, but reached no conclusion, and adjourned until Monday afternoon 'in anticipation of effecting the capture of Davis. A large reward has been subscribed by the citizens, in fact, if money can_effect the capture of Davis it will be forthcoming by the citizens here. PROVING AN ALIBL.
