It was one of the grandest achievements in mercan- tile history. Thousands and thousands of people bought thousands and thousands of dollars’ worth of the most phenomenal bargains ever seen anywhere. The casual observer would think the stock well nigh depleted by this time— but it was un immense purchase—a transac- tion such as happens but once {n an ordinary mortal's lifetime, The New York store was opened three months ago in the Bell de- partment store bullding at the corner of Fif- teenth and Dodge streets. The firm had a complete stock of goods, all new and bought this season, The stock Invoiced $150,000 and was bought by Hayden Bros. at 33 cents.on the dollar. The stock consists of dry goods, cloaks, general merchandise, boots and shoes groceries and everything that goes to make up a complete department store stock. It's small wonder that they draw such wonderful crowds when it is taken into con- sideration that hardly ninety days ago these goods were all in the factories and bought at a time when goods were the pest ever known in the history of the trade and then in the face of a tremendous advance Hayden Bros, purchased that splendid new stock at about one-third it§ actual cost. Do you won- der why they are selling so cheap? Can any barkrupt stock, no matter how old the goods may be, compete with such an extraordinary purchase? The goods were absolutely forced on Hayden's after all their fall goods were purchased and of course they are obliged to unload. Do you imagine any bankrupt sale would dare a price Haydens cannot cut in_two? The Bee gives up considerable space to Hayden Bros. today, but every reader who scans their announcements on pages 4 and 6 will certalnly be benefited thereby.

Their degree team took the first prize in Lincoln four years ago, putting on the third degree, and ciaim it will do it again, The Royal Arcanum, with its usual pro- gressiveness, made a splendid showing at the state fair last week. Thomas E. Cavin, -as- sisted by W. J. Kennedy, kept open house on the grounds, where members of the order, thelr families and friends, were made wel- come. On account of the short time for preparation, it was impossible to erect a bullding for the use of the order, and the members therefore had to put up with tents, They had two large tents in a good location and it was a noticeable feature that the Royal Arcanum tents were the only ones that were floored. The reception committee was in constant attendance and daily fur- nished lemonade, cigars and souvenir badges and Royal Arcanum literature to visiting members of the order and their friends. A register was kept at the headquarters tent every day, which shows that there was an average daily attendance of over 250 persons. Messrs. Cavin and Kennedy ,as well as other members of the reception committee, were indefatigable in their efforts to make Royal Arcanum members and their friends welcome. —_— DORN, To Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

The Thurston Rifles have within the last w weeks moved into thelr new armory at the corner of Douglas and Fif- teenth streets. The company room is much larger and more commodious than the old quarters, The drill hall is also somewhat larger. The company room has been fitted up with improved lockers and a secure gun rack. The quarterm: department is furnished with desks, clothes racks, property boxes, and Is presided over by Quartermaster Carl Hoffman with more dignity and autocratic power than the prop- erty man of Ric The reception room has been supplied with a new set of furniture, including carpets, rugs and portieres, and a fine black walnut piano, center tables, a large library table, nts and ferns. This furniture was moved in in time for fair week, and the rooms pro- fusely decorated with flags and bunting for tha reception of friends and visitors. The windows of the armory afforded a fine view of the parade the past week. The rooms were filled all last week with visiting militiamen from all over the state. The North Platte band played some fine music on one or two cvenings, and the Thurstons m- furnished much amusement by several promptu speeches and Among the lat- ter were solos by Richards and Quartermaster Hoffman. The company quar- tet sang several selections. The grasshoppers sang thelr “Rye Straw’ chorus, lead by their chief. Lack of facllities prevented an ex- hibition of their ceremony of initiation. The new quarters of the Rifles are very cheerful and comfortable, and are as fine and attractive as any company quarters in the western country. They invite their friends to call and make themselves at home. They declare they will continue the geniality and hospitality tha has made them o many friends in the past. — ——— HEARING OF BARNFE AND FOSTER. Bank Swindlers Before Bro Judge Berkn. wht Up The case of Edward Barnes and Harry Fos- ter, charged with trying to flimflam the American Natlonal bank out of $1,000 several days ago, came up for a preliminary hearing before Judge Berka yesterday. The pris- oners were identified by three witnesses from Kansas City, and it is considered certain that they are the parties wanted by the Union National bank of that city for beating it out of $700. Harry Crane of the Natlonal Bank of Commerce of Kansas City testified that Barnes, under the name of W. Brady, opened an account with the bank last Monday, de- positing $730. This had all been drawn out of the bank on the morning of the 17th ex- cept Charles M. Vining, paying teller Union National, testified that Foster, under the name of George H. Fields, opened an ac- count with his bank a week or ten days ago and although several checks were made on the account at diffcrent times the account remained good. On the afternoon of the 17th Foster called at the bank and had a check hed for $700. In the morning he had de- posited a check for the same amount in the bank, payable on the National Bank of Com- merce. When the check of the Union Na- tional went through the clearing hous drawn on the National Bank of Commerce, it was thrown out and the Union National loser. The two men tried to work the sa scheme in this city, selecting the First ) tional and the American as a field of opera- tions. About $1,200 was deposited at differ- ent times in the two banks, but when it came to the critical moment they were de- tected and Jjailed at the instance of the American National. The trial will be con- tinued Tuesday morning, and in case the charges against them are not sufficient to ommit them they will probably be sent to Kansas City to answer to the charge of de- frauding the Union National, B Hardware Dealers Go to the Wall.

Populists of the Fourth judicial district in their convention yesterday decided in favor of a non-partisan judiciary and named seven candidates for judges of the district court without regard to thelr political affiliations. The convention was called to order at 2:30 o'clock at Knights of Labor hall by John Jeftcoat, chairman of the judicial committee. After the reading of the call, H. H. Bowes of Burt county was made temporary chair- man, with C. B, Sprague of Washington county secretary and Charles Nownes of Sarpy county assistant secretary. This or- ganization was afterward made permanent. Delegates were present from all of the coun- ties and the list as read by the secretary was accepted as the accredited list of dele- gates to the convention, there being no con- tests, Mr. Kinney moved that a committee of five be appointed on resolutions and Paul Van- dervoort offered an amendment that the con- vention dispense with a committee on reso- lutions and adopt the Omaha platform. The amendment was lost and the original motion adopted. The chair appointed Messrs. Kin- ney, Peabody, Bell, Ostrom and Kinkead, and a motion was adopted that all resolutions be referred to the committee without reading. As soon as the committee had retired for deliberations Mr. Yeiser borrowed a lead pencil and changed the word ‘resolved” to “moved” and offered a document for the consideration of the convention. His motion was that the convention proceed to nominate one populist candidate for district judge. Then if the republicans nominated that same candidate the populist committee would be authorized to fill out the ticket with the other six candidates of the republican con- vention. 1f the republicans failed to endorse the populist nominee and fhe democrats did then the nominees of the democratic conven- tion should be placed on the populist ticket. In case neither of the parties endorsed the populist ticket then the populists would leave their ticket blank and allow the members of the party to vote their individual preferences. Mr. er's offering was classed by Chalr- man Bowes as a resolution and was sent to the committes for consideration without de- bate. SEEKING THE BEST MAN. After a short discussion Chairman Peabody of the committee on resolutions reported the followin Whereas, The people's independent party Jjudicial convention of the Fourth judiclal district has met for the purpose of placing in nomination scven candidates for judges of said distric d, Whereas, Recent judiclal decisions have been aguinst the interest of the mass: and subversive of popular liberty, re flecting the wishes, sentiments and intes ests of corpo; alth and thereby e: shing ¢ solved, in_th L slation, therefo didates for district , be it selection of can- idges of ‘the district we refuse to recognize party or faction, be- lieving that the judges should be above the influence of either. While endorsing the ‘above, we as a par reindorse the platform of the people's in- dependent party, national and state. The resolutions were adopted by an unani- mous vote. Then Mr. Vandervoort offered a motion that the nominees of the convention be required to indorse the Omaha platform and pledge their eupport and fealty to the principles of the people’s independent party. The motion was debated at great length and was finally defeated by a vote of b4 to 7. Then Mr. Yelser brought up his motion again, He had a speech to make and de- manded the right to make it. Some delegate moved that the resolution be laid on the table. Tho motion cut off the debate, and Yelser threatened to withdraw from the con- vention if the convention tabled his motion. The motion was tabled and Yeiser called on his friends to follow him, and he left the nvention, followed by Walter Breen of the Eighth ward. On motion of Mr. Kenney an informal ballot was taken for nominees for the district bench, It resulted as follows: George A Magney, 60; Willam A. Redick, 57; A. N. 57; E. R. Duffle, M. R. Hope- B. Wakeley, 07; W. Keysor, 48; Lee Estelle, 3; C. D. Dickinson, 6. Burt county divided its nine votes between Estelle and_Dickinson. When the result of the formal ballot was announced Rey. Alexander Irvine arose and stated that he wanted to make a motion and offer an explanation. He said he had made it his business to study men. He knew the men who had been named to be the best men in the city and state and he would sup- port them If they had been named by his satanic majesty. He was glad to see such men named and would work for their election. He moved that the informal ballot be de- clared the formal ballot of the convention. This was adopted. Mr. Magney was authorized to name the members of the judicial committee, and the convention adjourned. S SOUTH OMAHA NEWS eccoconeceeco Mrs, widow of C.

Mrs. Larkins says Mrs. Merrill came to her house in the evening to collect rent and abused both Mr. and Mrs. Larkins.

CRACKSMEN ~ ARE ~ CAUGHT Morning's Safe Blowers, FOUND THEM SOON MHis Cart to e ¢ i the we Falled=Belleved nmsy Hands at Dusiness. It is confidently stated by the police that blow the safe in the office of Porters Bro: company, fruit commission dealers, at Eighth behind the bars at the thought that there were not more In the gang, although another man was arrested on one of the others about a week ago. The four men arrested gave their names as Earl C. Burton, John Black, Charles Ed- wards and John Miller. While they ail pr sent the appearance of tough men they look more like a lot of vagrants than expert cracksmen. The other man under arrest is much of the same appearance and gave the name of Charles Smith. He was seen in the company of one of the others about a week ago, but it is not certain that he took any pert n the safe blowing. The watchman of the building, Worthington, does not belie that there was more than four in The men were captured in little m an hour after the deed had bec he gan that n attempted. A dozen policemen were at once sent out on their trail and th were easily tracked to the point where they were found, a spot on the river bank about half a mile north of Gibson. They were sitting on the railroad track facing the river when Detective Hoff, Officer Godola and two specials came upon them. Hoff covered three of them with a revolver and they surrendered without a struggle. The fourth man, Burton, however, was not so easily handled. Godola ordered him t surrender, standing in front of him with revolver in his hand. Instead of complying Burton sprang to his feet and leveling a re volver at the officer breast, ordered him to leave. The two men stood facing each other for some seconds and finally as the officer did not move Burton pulled the trigger. Fortunately for the officer the trigger drew back but “the point failed to explode the cartridge. Godola then fired at Burton. He dropped, but it was found that he had not been hit. He was then easily disarmed Two of the prisoners, Burton and Black were arrested about a w ago on suspicion by Officers anous. They had a pair of ladies in their possession, which but the A tallow candle, sho were supposed to have been stoles owner was not found. volvers and a large quantity of cartrid were found on their persons.

This was very plain from the amount thai must have been used to blow the door of the safe a distance of twenty-five feet and to br ak all the windows in the office with a dull crash that was heard for blocks, The tools that were used, a sledge, a drill, two punches and a crowbar, are supposed to have been stolen from some blacksmith shop, although s yet no one has put in a claim for them The safe contained about $100 in money ana a considerable quantity of valuable papers. One thing that connects the men with the attempted safe cracking is the fact that one of them, when arrested, had a quantity of the greasy explosive upon his face and hands. The door of the safe which was blown off was covered w'th the same explosive, SRS Denth of Hartman, Fred Hartman, steward at the Drexel ho'el, Death was caused by the rupture of a blood vesse at the base of the brain, which was wetkencd by an attack of cholera morbus a few days before.
