8 THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE: SRR Rk N s VR R TUESDAY T A R ARE BEGINNING TO ARRIVE Some of the Delegates to the Home Mie- sionary Convention Are Here, LARGE NUMBER COMING TOMORROW Arrangements for Thelr Entertalnment by the Congregationalists of the City Are About Completed — Prospectus of the Meeting. A number of delegates to the national con- vention of the Congregational Home Mis- slonary soclety, which meets in Omaha on Wednesday, have already arrived and are registered at the Millard and several more are expected today. Among them will prob- ably be the secretaries, of whom there is one for the national soclety and one for each state, The local committee has been hard at work and all preliminarfes for the enter tainment of the convention are about com- plete. There Is no way of estimating the number of those who will be present, but 2,600 are expected. These for the most part will be New Englanders and residents of the Atlantic states, all of whom pay their own way while in the ecity. he only ones for whom the local committee has provided any entertainment are the home mission: 1 the young and struggling communities in western Nebraska and the adjoining states. For these this, the first meeting of the so- clety west of New York, is an event of considerable importance, The Home Missionary soclety has rendered possible the churches and parsonages which they have been struggling to build and a special effort will be made by them to meet the generous easterners who have given them their en couragement and assistance, Special invits tions have been sent to all of them and the will be welcomed with as much cordiality as the richest banker from New England and entertained at the homes of the Omaha Congregationalists, Raymond & Whitcomb, the excursion man- agers, have notified Chairman Payne of the local committee that an excursion of dele- gates wishing to attend the convention left Beston yesterday and will arrive in Omaha at 1 o'clock tomorrow. This will bring with it about the most important delegation which will be in attendance, having many members of the society fnterested in Omaha and western investments. What money was necessary for the enter- tainment of the convention as planned by the general committee has already been raised and all further arrangements will be completed at a meeting of the committee to be held at the rooms of the Commercial club today. The drive about the city will take place at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the start being made from the Millard. The route chosen will take the visitors over the lead- ing streets and through the most interesting portions of the city, north and south, but the committee has been thoughtful enough to so arrange it that none will be too tired to attend the reception to be held in the evening. On the trip a stop will be made at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church, where the ladies of the congregation will serve suitable refreshments and a social time will be had. To greet the guests at the depot twenty partles, with appropriate badges, have been gelected, who will serve as a welcoming committee and an escort to the church. The parties will be some of the leading Congre- gationalists of the city. At the church there will be twenty of the brightest boye which the committee has been able to select who will guide the visitors about the city and to the hotels which have been selected for_them. Yesterday afternoon the ladies of the churches were engaged in decorating the First Congregational and the First Methodist churches, where the sessions will be he These same ladies have also agreed to pro- vide in convenient places bowls of lemonade for the refreshment of both speakers and listeners at the various sessions to be held in the church and elsewhere. The week will_close, according to program, with an nformal reception given by the business men of the city at the Comemrcial club, and delegates who have been corresponding from New York express themsclves as highly pleased with this feature, which is one they have mot been accustomed to. Replies recelved by the general commit- tee to invitations to those having vehicles to tend the drive ‘ndicate that there will be a lengthy procession In line, and the interest taken by the public generally promises well for the welcome which the visitors will re- ceive. Excursions to various points have been talked of, but only one so far has been definitely settled. That will be to Tabor, Ia., the seat of Tabor college, and the citizens will provide the train and agree to see that those who go on Saturday afternoon will be back in time for the reception at the Com- mercial club in the evening. The drive and the reception in the evening, with a trip to Tabor for some of the dele- gates and a following of their own sweet will by others, will take up the time, and for the previous days the program is as follows: Wednesday—:30 p. m., annual meeting of the society at the Iirst Congregational church, corner Nineteenth and Davenport streets; 8 p. m., annual sermon by Rev. 8.

Postal Clerk Flynn Arrested on Clews Worked by Three Inspectors, Walter H. Flynn, a rallway postal clerk, was arrested by government officlals in Lin- coln Saturday night on the charge of open- ing registered letters and stealing their con- tents, For some time the postoffice authori- tles had been on the trail of the thief, but were unable to secure amy clew. Inspectors from the Denver, Montana and 8t. Louis di- visions went to work, and all their clews led them fo Lincoln, where Flynn was finally ught The accused I8 alleged to have confesred to having taken about $300 from different letters and three separate cages have been worked up against him Fiynn s a young man, and his home fs in Deadwood, where his parents re The inspectors allege that Flynn's thieving opera- tions have been going on for a year, and they have sixtee harges which will be pre ferred against the prisoner. Flynn tried to work a biuff on the officers, but when they confronted him with conclusive evidence against him, he weakened and confessed that he had taken the cash and spent it in Lincoln, It is said that Flynn was s what of a would-be swell, and did not 1 within his salary. This probably led him to commit the crime of theft. ¥ 1 Court Notes. Indictments were returned yesterday in the federal court against Carrie Hart of this city, charging her with passing and having in her possession counterfeit mone; Carri arraigned before Judge D and ded not guilty. The grand jury returned a true bill against N. T. Gadd, a former employe of the land office at Broken Bow, who {8 charged with embezzling shout $2,500 of the government funds. His friends made good the shortage, but the govern nt officials thought that his acts should not go unpunished and they gave the facts in the case to the grand jury with the above result. Gadd entered a plea of not guilty and his case was placed on the docket for trial. The jury in the case of George Sterling, who I8 charged with burglarizing the North Platte postoffice, recelved its instructions from Judge Dundy in the federal court yes- terday afternoon, and after being out about fitteen minutes returned a_verdict of guilty. The lowest sentence that Sterling can get is a heavy fine and mprisonment for a_year, but there was such a strong case made out against him that he will probably receive little leniency. It is alleged by the officers who worked up the evidence against the accused that this is not the first job Sterling has done of this character. The federal grand jury had to adjourn un- til June 25 on account of a lack of funds provided for paying witnesses, and the petit Jury will have to adjourn for a week or ten days on the same account. Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Rush said that he thought that the matter would soon be arranged so that ample funds would be placed at their disposal to try the remainder of the cases. Some violations of the postal laws by local parties will be investigated. ———— Balloon ascension, Courtland beach. HOW ROGUES ARE RUN IN. It is in the private office of the chief of detectives of a western city. A mysterious murder has been committed and Officers Sleuth, Sneak and Tracem have been de- tafled to “work on the case,” says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Chief—Officer Sleuth, you to report? “‘But partial success, captain.’” ““You located the scene accurately?” “Yes, sir. The body was found with two bullet hcles through the back. There wa: no weapon about the body and the house was ransacked— ““There can be no mistake about this, OF ficer Sleuth?” “None whatever, captain! . Tt is plain @ murder has been committed— Chief—Officer Sneak, what success you to report? Officer Sneak—Officer Tracem and 1 worked together; while Lieutenant Sleuth went in- side— “How long was this after the body was found?” ““Supposed to be about seven hou As the lieutenant went inside we three times carefully around the ho took accurate measurements of the wood- shed door wnd noted the color of the paint on the gate post and gathercd such other clews g3 we thought might be useful at the trial—’ “And did you see mo suspicigus persons?”’ “Made one arrest, sir—a ‘boy fully 11 vears old having bloody hands—'" Was he run in?’ ‘No; I held the nippers on him till Sleuth and Tracem got him handeufed, when—" “When what? Quick!” “When he convinced us that he had been carrying a G-cent soup bone home to his grandmother, and that's how the blood got on his hands. *‘Any more arrest 5, sir—Just as we were measuring the chimney to determine it the murderer could have escaped that way we noticed a boy who wore a white muslin shirt—" “And you arrested him?" “Certainly! The corpse also had on a white muslin shirt, and here was a clew, sure enough. We all three put the nippers on him until he could be handeuffed—" “What was his age?” “He was all of T years old “Where is e now?" “Oh, he proved to be the grandson of the murdered man, and we felt justified in let- ting him off, though the licutenant gave him a sharp lecture—" 15 that all?” “That is as far as we have got with the case, captain, though we think we can es- tablish that a street car passed the house some time In the night; a milk wagon passed next morning, and the wind was blowing from the northwest at the time." Chief—Gentlemen, you are doing splen- audly; such conduct will add luster to our record for efficlency. Now it is fairly es- tablished that the man was killed—though what success have quite have sIr. this will be verified by an antopsy by the police surgeon; it Is fairly certain that he was killed at home and that he was not Killed before coming home: with the mea urements of the woodshed door, the direc. of the wind, the milkman incident and the two suspiclous arrests there ought to be no difficulty in running the perpe- trators to earth, though one important clew may have escaped you. You should have noted whether the bricks of the pavement showed signs of having been recently tramped upon. I am proud of your success, gentlemen, and you will doubtiess soon re- celye promotion. e Balloon ascension, Courtland beach, HAYDEN BROS, Some Low Prices RNigh Class n Bros. for Tuesday.

Commissioner Smith fntroduced the resolution, and the investigation will be- gin tonight The first feature of the session was a read- ing of charges against Sergeant Shoop, made by Chief Seavey, who stated that the ser- geant dis nd neglected lis duties on the night of May 28, when Shoop was in charge of a detail of elght policemen which had been assigned to duty at the Caliseum on that night. The chief ordered Shoop to take a sufficient number of men 1o the Coli- seum to maintain® order there while the program arranged for the presentation of the flag to the Rifles took place. Shoop did this, but he also detailed four of the men to remain on duty at this place all night, which they did. All this was contrary to the orders of the chief, who instructed the sergeant to put the men back on their beats con as the exercises were over at this place. Shoop offered as an explan- ation of his disregard of the chief’s orders a letter from Captain Scharft of the Thurs- ton Riflex, in which he said he was responsi- ble for asking Shoop to leave a number of officers at the Coliseum to guard the prop- erty of the Rifles, which was left there under a guard of fifteen men detailed from the company of Rifles. Shoop said that he granted the request of the captain in spite of the orders given him by a superior officer. DENY THEY DRANK LIQUOR. Then the chief cafled attention to the scandal created by the conduct of both guards and officers. These officers made a written statement to the chief. They are Officers “Arnold, Clark, Brady and Bower. Each ef them denied that he drank anything while on duty at the Coliseum, but acknowl- edged that he understood that there Was a considerable quantity of beer in the dressing rooms of the building. ~ All heard the guards shooting blank cartridges, but said that they did not place them under “arrest, as the Heu- tenant of the company took the men in charge. The policemen said that if liquor was drank it was by the members of the militia company and not by them. They explained the noise made by intimating that the youthful soldiers were only having a “good time.” Then Commissioner Smith: re- marked that it was about time for the board to take a hand in the matter and give the police department a general cleaning up, and he introduced his resolution, which was adopted. Commissioner Strickler demanded to know what the speclal committee, composed of Mr. Coburn and Chief Seavey, appointed to Investigate the charges made against the detective department by The Bee had done or If it had any report to make. Commis- sioner Coburn said that he declined to act any further on this commitiee and he did not propose to make any indlvidual investiga- tlon into these charges as he considered it a matter which concerned the whole board and thought that the board should investi- gate at once. Then Chief Seavey recommended that the office of chief of detectives be abolished and that Chief Haze be made a sergeant on the police. force. The chief also recommended that several officers whom he did not pub- licly name be dismissed from the force for general incompetency, as they were not good officers and never would amount to anything as policemen. He suggested that the com- missioners take the matter up at once and inquire into the qualifications of these men. All these matters were deferred for con- sideration until the board went into execu- tive sesson. In executive session everything was laid over until the special meoting which it will hold this evening. ROUTINE BUSINESS. Mounted Officer Haze and Firemen Guire and Getzschman were granted days leave of absence. The council requested the board to re- quire the police department to act in co- operation with the Board of Health in sup- pressing nuisances and enforcing the health ordinances, George C. Ford, a special Hayden Bros.’ store, resigned. Police Judge Berka called the attention of the commissioners to section 147 of the city charter, relative to the acceptance of bail by the chief of police or his deputics, where prisoncrs are charged with bailable offenses, and to the order of the thief re- voking the power of his deputies to acuept bail from any prisoner. This causes the friends of prisoners to call the judge up all hours of the night to get him to release thege yporsons under arrest. Officer, Mitchell submitted a communication complaining to the board that the city prosc- cutor would not co-operate with hini in en- forcing the city ordinances after he had ar- rested and worked up a case against Timothy Kelly for building a wooden sidewalk at the corner of Thirteenth and Chicago streets. The matter was referred to the mayor, Commissioner Coburn declined to approve a livery bill for $5 incurred by Chief De- tective Haze in trying to recapture James Noland, who escaped from the detective while he was asleep at South Omaha on his way to this city. Haze said in his communi- cation that Commissioner Strickler adyised him to present the bill to the board. Com- missioner Smith said he was not in favor of allowing any bills which the officer had in- curred through his own carelessness. Strickler and Smith of the fluance com- mittee recommended that Chief Seavey be al- lowed $50 per month for &pecfal detective work, such as securing evidence against gamblers and lottery dealers. COBURN 1S AFTER HIM. Commissioner Coburn, who Is also a mem- ber of this committee, made an unfavorable report in the matter and said that he would vote against any such appropriation, not only because he was of the opinion that they had no authority for such action, but he thought that the money could be better expended. He was quite certain that the city wanted no more detective work, such as occurred yesterday, when an officer, whom he would name when the proper time came. committed a most outrageous and entirely uncalled for act. This officer saw a case of beer delivered at the house of one of the most respectable and worthy families in Omaha yesterday afternoon. The commis- sioner sald he was not certain whether the officer saw the case of beer delivered or just heard of it, but at any rate this fellow went up to the house, called upon the lady of the house and demanded that she show him her marriage license. The woman was over- come with mortification, and the commis- sioner said that he would not have been surprised, after learning of the matter, if the officer had arrested the woman@hen and there. Mr. Coburn denounced the act as a damnable outrage and he spoke in no un- certain terms when he said that this case would be called before the police board as s00n as it could get time to hear it, On the request of Strickler the committee “Awarded H}éhésf Me- ten policeman at | withdrow its resmmendation of & fund for special detectivemwork, The committess on laws and regulations reported that It had examined Into the troubles existingeamong the firemen on ac- count of dissatisfaction over matters in the board of directors of the Paid Firemen's Benevolent assostation and that as the as- soclation was am imcorporated concern the commissioners Mad no right to take any actlon in the mateor, This leaves the trouble to be settled In ‘the courts, where the facts in the case will'be given an airing.

The request of Chief Galligan for three additional firemen was refused because of a lack of funds, The request of Oficer O'Gorman_ to be transferred for duty in the fire department was also refused. -Commissioners Coburn, Strickler and Hart- man were appointed as a committee to wait upon the editor of The Bee and Inform him that they were going to Investigate the charges made in The Bee against the (gtec- tive department at thelr special meeting this evening, and ask him to co-operate with them in securing evidence against certaln members of the department against whom charges have been ma - Courtland beach is finer than ever. - AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA. City Councll Adopts Co alsory Methods Against the Street Rallway Compuny Councilmen Ryan and Conley got after the street car companies at the council meet- ing last night with a vengeance. These gen- tlemen live in the Third ward and both have been trying for some time to force the street car company to extend its line across the viaduct and over iInto the Third and Fourth wards. A few days ago Mr. Ryan, as chairman of a special committee, walted on the company and received a final ~answer to the effect that the company would not extend fts line for the present. As a result Mr. Ryan is after the company with a sharp stick. He first got through a motion to compel the Metropolitan Street Car company, which runs between uth Omaha and Albright, to lower Its cks to a level with the street. Next he asked for a special committee to investigate the franchises of the street car companies and see if some steps could not be taken to compel the Omaba company to extend Its line. Mr. Conley's motion to tax the cars and poles of the company prevailed, and Mr. Ryan followed up by asking for an ordinance ulating the speed of strcet cars in the city. Mr. Walters was not to be outdone and he gave the street car company a left-handed slap for ruining the L street viaduct with its® tracks and spikes and then abandoning the line. The city attorney was asked for an opinion. He said that If the city went into the courts it might be a long time before a final opin- ion could be reached. The councilmen were loaded for the com- pany, however, and Mr. Walters submitted a resolution declaring the rails laid by the street car company on the L street viaduct a nuisance and ordering them removed at once. The resolution passed. Mr. Ryan also put through a resolution to the effect that the street car company be notified to repair the viaduct under the di- rection of the city engineer, and if the com- pany refused, to have the work done and tax the cost up to the said company. A petition liberally signed was read rcquest- Ing that the property owners on Twenty- fourth strect fram N to J be compelled to lay a permanent sidewalk in accordance with the ordinanc A protest was read against the grading of Twenty-first street, the signers claiming that the work would eost more than the property was worth, Petitions were read asking for the grading of Seventeenth street from Missouri avenue to lot 13, block. 2; Twenty-third street from 0 to Q street, and Twentleth strect from Q to Y. The licanse’ committee recommended that liquor licenses be granted to the following persons: . Joseph Schlitz, Thirty-third and L; Willlam Krug, Twentleth and N; Mark Beetham, 2412 N; C. Grohwark, 2611 N; Thomas = Beard, 1202 Twenty-fourth; A. Belohenek, 501 Twenty-sixth, Ordinances were introduced as follows: Creating & grading district in the north- western portion of the city from A to J streets; instructing property owners to lay permanent sidewalks on both sides of N street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sey- enth; compelling ccal dealers to weigh their loads on the city scales before delivering to customers; amending the right of way ordi- nance of the Rock Island railroad, com- pelling the company to lay its tracks in con- formity with the street grade, build bridges, ete. —_— Balloon ascension, Courtiand beach. —— PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

At last I thought T would try Paskola, and have taken two 50-cent bottles, I can sy I am a great deal better. My stomach will bear food now. When I commenced taking Paskola, I could eat only one tablespoonful of meal made in a gruel, now I can cat al- most anything I want, and I thank God I have found a cure at last. Yours truly. MRS. EMILINE MORC Paskola may be obtained of any reputable druggist. A pamphlet on food and digestion will be mailed free on application to The Pre-Digested.
