Ell Brown returned from Kansas City, accompanied by W. D. Green of the Gate City Electrical company, which claims to have been confidenced out of $230 worth of telephoues and other elec- trical apparatus by C. J. Willow, dent of the recently organized Wizard phone company of this city. One of first things bhe did was to call at the city Jail and see Willow, who had ocecupled an upper room in the jail ever since midnight. “How are you, Perry?" was Green's first question Willow made no attempt to deny that his name was Perry. His jaw dropped and he appeared completely floored. He replied that the surroundings had prevented him from sleeping very well. During the day Green, accompanied by Ell Brown and Ed Brown, visited the Wiz- ard factory, on Fourth street, and looked over the stock. Mr. Green found and com- pletely identifiecd all of the stufft which his company had sold to Willow, alias Perry, during the month of March. It was all un- paid for, and had been moved away from Kansas City stealthily. In the afternoon Mr. Green commenced replevin p in Justice Vien's court and seized the stuff that had been unpaid for. Whil in Kansas City Willow paid the Gate company for all of the material he bought with the exception of that bought during March, W. H. Ware drew up a typewritten docu- ment and bad it signed by all of the cred- itors of the Wizard company, by which they agreed that Green should be allowed to identity and take with him all the prop- erty of the company he represented. The way the document was worded was distaste- ful to G. W. Hewitt, Willow's attorney from the fact that by signing it he would in effect admit that he, Willow, had stolen the goods. All that Willow would admit was that the property had belonged to and been purchased from the Gate City com- pany, and that it was not paid for, but he would not admit that it was now the prop- erty of any one but the Wizard company. Mr. Hewitt went through the paper and carefully marked out a word here and two or three words there, and thus changed the meaning, after which he presented it to Willow for his signature. Green claims that Willow got the better of his company by making a false represen- tation to the effect that the Perry company of which he was the chief promoter in Kansas City, had a bank account of $2,000. Instead of that it was only $200, and that sum had been put in by C. L. Knight, the Kansas City policeman, who occupied the position of monied man of the firm, and who now occupies the same place with re- spect to the Perry company as Eli Brown to the Wizard. When interviewed in his cell Mr. Willow said that one of the first points upon which he and Brown disagreed was the sale of the Wizard franchise to the Nebraska Tele phone company. The latter company, he said, had never had a franchise from the city, but was merely operating under a color of right, upon the franchise granted years ago to the Council Bluffs Tele- phone company, which by the terms of the ordinance was not transferrable. The Ne- braska people were consequently anxious to buy the Wizard people out, but Brown was unwilling to sell. And there they split. Manager Atkins of the Nebraska Tele- phone company admits that his company is operating under the ordinance of the Coun- cil Bluffs Telephone company, but says that the city records will plainly show that the assignment was ratified by the action of the council. He denies that his company ever had any thought of buying the Wizard fran- chise, or that any proposition looking to that end was ever made on either side. Brown investigated the typewriter deal while in Kansas City and found that Willow answers the description of the man who tried to pawn it at a second-hand store there January 11, just three days after it was stolen in Denver by a woman, to whom it had been given on three days' trial. This resemblance will undoubtedly give rise to a further investigation by the officials of the typewriter company. Yesterday B. A. Schullian, a Broadway yesterday morning the presi- Tele- the vedings all of { tailor, commenced action in Justice Vien's court ‘against J. E. DeLee, Willow's partner, for $22, the price of a suit of clothes. De- Lee says that Brown guarantced the price of the sult, but he does not expect to make Brown pay for it. He hasn’t had the money to settle thé bill, but asserts that he would have paid it In time without a lawsuit had not Brown stirred Schullian up to begin proceedings. The case ended fonight as far as Willow is concerned. Willow resigns his position as president of the company and releases all his interests to Bli Brown, who will pay oft all attachments, and put the company on its feet. Whether the company will continue operations yet remains to be seen.

BENNISON BROS., Council Bluffs, More hastly Hellos. Samuel Walter, a wood cutter, who lives at 397 Lincoln avenue, ran across a ghastly collection of relics yesterday forencon while chopping wood near Big Lake, at a place not far distant from where a few days ago five bodies of persons supposed to have been dissected at the Council Bluffs Medical college were found. There were two arms, two hands and two feet lying around in carele: attitudes, but the rest of the in- dividual was missing. Walter took his find to Dr. Macrae, thinking that, as the head of the department of dissection of the col- lege, he might be interested, but he wi mistaken. He then went to the coroner, Dr. Jennings, who advised him to go and bury the articles at his own expense, Ladles' Colored Shoes and Oxfords, Have you looked at the new lot of colored shoes and oxfords—the largest and nobbiest line to select from?

Age sits lightly on Lake Manawa, and like a handosine girl, it grows in beauty and at- tractiveness with each year's development. The bulk of the improvements have been made at Manhattan beach, and what was al- ways delightful will be this season beautiful. Many thousand dollars have been spent in permanent improvements, and the whole face of the beach changed. Trees and grass have changed its sands into a park. The high banks of sand have been cut away and the bathing beach extended for half a mile along the water front. The central feature Is the big new chute, which has taken the place of e old tcboggan siides. It starts from a tower that rises from the roof of the pavillion to the height of forty feet, and runs down on a sharp wavy incline until it strikes the water more than 200 feet away The track for the toboggans will be a tight shute floored with ofled hard wood flooring, and over this the toboggans will glide on four small wheels attached to each. The speed will be great enough to suit anybody, and there will be norie of the rattle-te-bang jar of the old exciting way. To “shoot the chute”” will be the popular pastime to make boys again of old men. New boats to carry passengers will be another feature, and there are many others that will help to com plete the surprise when the crowds come Manawa will be in it this year, and if it is not the most popular rescrt in the west it will not be for lack of attractions.

Maurath & Co., 533 Broadway, Only Heard Protests. The city council met as a board of equaliza- tion last evening in the hope of being able to settle up the work of the year and adjourn sine die. But two of the members, Barstow and Spetman, were absent, and the first thing done was to decide that no business should bo transacted outside of merely hearing pro- tests that might be made against the raising of assessments, and talking matters over. A number of these protests were read, one from the Grand Detour Plow company, in which it was claimed that the company was exempt from taxation here by the laws of the state, the Council Bluffe establishment being merely a shipping point. In spite of this, however, they offered to pay the taxes without a mur- mur providing the assessment was cut down to the same figure as those of other institu- tions of a like nature. Lucius Wells sent word that at the next meeting, which i to be held Monday evening, the Grand Hotel company would have its representatives present to protest against the ascessment which has been levied against that institution, Judge W. 8. Lewis was present and asked the board to refund the taxes paid on the property of Mrs. Wiley, an old soldiers’ widow, and thus prevent the sheriff from executing a tax deed to another party and throwing Mrs. Wiley out of her house and home. A committee consisting of Aldermen Greenshields, Grahl and Speiman was ap- pointed to investigate the case, The Great Fopularity of Copps Cheer. Dealers who have been furnishing their customers with the famous nonalcoholic beverages, Coppe Cheer and Herb Tonic, manufactured exclusively by the G. R. Wheeler Brewing company, are always anx- fous to control the trade for their own towns because the beverages outsell anything else in the line. Here's what D. H. Thompson & Co. of Malvern, Ia., wrote in an order for more goods: “Your last shipment of Copps Cheer will not last longer than Saturday. It is a big seller. If you will allow us to con- trol the entire trade here on Copps Cheer and Herb Tonle we will obligate ourselves to buy all of our drinks from you and will push the trade.” Sold exclusively by Wheeler & Hereld, Council Blffs, Ia.

They bave many other fine residences on their boards. Cole & Cole have 400,000 brick for sale at very low prices by the thousand or by the kiln. Not being in the brick business we are anxjous to close out. Two Burgiaries. Burglars were at work yesterday afternoon. Two men were scen loitering around the residence of R. E. Ingraham, 201 Willow avenue, between 3 and 4 o'clock, while Mr. Ingraham was in Omaha and his wife at the cemetery. When they returned they found that the panel in the back door had been broken out. One burglar had mounted guard Just outside while has pal worked at the door inside the summer kitchen, where he could not be seen from the stre:t. Two revolvers, a lady’s gold watch and chain, a pair of cameo earrings, a cameo locket ring, and a ring with a purple set were found missing. A purse containing $10 in cash was overlooked by the thieves, in spite of their lelsurely work. The residence of G. Grosvenor, 110 Stuts- man street, was also entered at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The family were all away and the doors were securely locked. The burglars used a pair of nippers on the key in the back door, turning it £o that it could be removed and then using a skeleton key of their own. They went through the house and stole $5 from a purse, throwing the lat- ter on the floor. The nelghbors saw the thieves moving around in the' house and peer- ing out through the windows, but thought nothing of it until later in the day, when they heard of the burglary.

The visitors seemed to be sizing things up, and It flashed across the minds of the men that they were medi- tating an attack about the time the strong box became full. At a late hour all was quiet and the expected rald had not oc curred. Every man about the office w provided with a revolver and the determin tion to use it in the way that would do the most good if occasion offered itself. The police also kept a lookout for trouble 1t was well known that the company’s cof- fers were unusually full, travel on the mo- tor line yesterday being heavier than on any day since the races commenced.

Bralnard Leaves a Letter Owning to the Stealing of 810,000, Live Stock exchange met in special on yesterday afternoon and voted upon the advisability of offering a reward for the captura of A. L. Brainarl, Garrow & Kelly's defaulting clerk. It was the largest meeting of the exchange held for a long time, members who never before were there were present and wanted to have something to say about the spending of the money. After discussing the matter for fuly an hour, a vote as to whether the exchange should offer a reward or not was taken up. Fiity-two members voled against the motion and twenty-five for it. 1t Is re- ported now that a private subscription will be made by some of the commission men to ralse o sum to assist in capturing the em- zaler, While golng through the bocks in the safe yosterday, Messrs. Garrow & Kelly found a ictter from their missing cashier. The letter was addressed to Mrs. Brainard and was a complete confession. Brainard admitted stealing $10,000 of the firm's money. He claimed in this letter, however, that he lost the entire amount on the Board of Trade, and that he never went into a gambling house, and that he did not play poker. Fur- thermore, he says that he left town without a cent. Captain Kelly brands several of the statements in the “confession” as lles. When Brainard left the Exchange building he had it is alleged, in his clcties nearly $3,000 that the bank and the firm knows of. As for his not playing poker, Captain Kelly says that s also stre(ching the truth. = Garrow & Kelly will employ Pinkertons and use every effort to capture the thief. It looks now as it DBrainard had an accomplice here, and a stranger is loafing about the excliange these ays. The sess The Ralubow Drill. The entertainment given Friday night by Miss Fitch, the physical culture teacher, under the auspices of the King's Daughters, for the benefit of the public library, was an unqualified success. Every person taking part showed excellent training. The rainbow drill was the leading feature and was beautiful. The dances and living representations were something new to the South Omaha public, and were much appreciated by the “udience, Miss Pennock's singing was es- yoclally fine, and Miss Mullen, as “Trilby," was greeted with rounds of applause. Miss Fitch and the King's Daughters were con- gratulated for the splendid entertainment they furnished. The receipts were over $50 and will swell the library fund consider- ably. In the second part, in the poses with drape, Miss Wells showed in her beautiful and harmonious movements the results of work in Miss Fitch's physical culture class The costumes in the living representations were perfection down to the smallest de- tails. Nothing was left undone to make the pictures perfect, and the audience showed its appreciation by enthusiastic applause. The expression was excellent, every pose full of meaning, Miss Fitch being a thor- ough Delsartian, and an enthusiastic follower of the great master. Miss Mattie Cheek made an exquisite pic- ture, Miss Clifton was as sparkling and coquettish a “‘Belle Marquise” as ever graced the courts of the “old regime." “The Minuet,” by May Babcock, Cornelia Carpenter, Charles Koctus and Varro Hall in the quaintest costumes of the past cen- tury, was the daintiest possible conceit, the little ladles and gentlemen gliding and posing in the stately manner of the “o.d school.” The Telle lacial expression in the “Fortune by Misses Ritchart and Greist, was excellent, also Miss Allen's “poses with dove.” The solo by Miss Cook was a charm- ing number. The familiar “Chocolat Menier” greeted with laughter and applause. Miss Chloe Brown was an ideally beauti- ful pleture in “Love's Dream After the Ball,” the Misses Rosenberg playing the waltz of that name in a thoroughly artistic manner. Little Laura Brown's “Good Night” was a gem. was Ferry Over the Liver Assured. It is assured now that there will be a terry across the Missourl river at this point Committees are out soliciting funds, and as soon as a sufficient amount is subscribed a stock company will be formed and incor- porated. It is now thought that a cable ferry will be put up. The Thomas brothers of Plattsmouth, both experts in the cable business, spent yesterday looking over the ground on both sides of the river, and will Teport at a later meeting of those most in- terested. The committee on subscriptions | consists of Messrs. Ensor, Hunt, Holmes and Flynn. HEAV B . FAILUKE AT MALVERN, Oldest Firm in the City Assigns for Heunefl of Ureditors, MALVERN, Ia, May 25.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The largest failure in business in the history of Malvern took place today, when the firm of J. D, Paddock & Co., made an assign- ment to J. M. Strahan, president of the First Natlonal bank for the benefit of all creditors. The labilities are about $27,000; assets, $40,- 000. The llabilities are principally for bor- rowed money, except about $4,000 £or merchan. dise, due to eastern firms, as follows: Mar- shall, Field & Co., Chicago, dry goods, $1,400; Henry W. King & Co., Chlcago, clothing, $1,000; Herrick & Co., Lynn, Mass., shoes, $300; Wood & Co., Burlington, N. J., $200 There s very little due Omaha jobbers. The firm turned over everything they had to the assignee, consisting of thelr stock of goods and accounts, worth about $14,000, the opera house block, in which thelr double store is located, and valued at $9,500, their interests in the Malvern Light and Power company, the New Paddock block and 2,300 acres of land in Nebraska and Colorado. The firm, consisting of J. D. and C. H. Paddock, have been continuously in the general merchandise business in Malvern since the starting of the town, twenty-five years ago. They have always and do now enjoy the utmost confi- dence of the entire community, and it Is hoped by every one that the embarrassment will be only temporary.
