Cole against the motor company was begun In the dis- trict court yesterday afternoon before Judge ; celer and a jury. Cole seeks to recover #0581 from the motor company, part bing alleged to be due him as salary while agting as manager at Lake Manawa and u!e balance for property which he alleges the company appropriated to its own use. In the case of E. Myers against Sheriff Cousins and Paxton & Gallagher the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount sued for. The suit arose out of the attachment of a grocery stock belonging to Crawford & Young, which Myers claimed to have purchased prior to the seizure. This and a similar case In which Myers seeured a verdict against Con- stable Balrd will be, it is said, appealed to the supreme court. Mre.

Alick McKenzie filed in the matter of the Officer & Pusey receivership yesterday an application to have vacated an order giving 8. H. Cochran, an attorney of Logan, la., authority to draw the dividend on a cer- tificate of deposit formerly owned by the applicant. In 1900 McKenzie was indicted on a charge of selling mortgaged property and was tried and acquitted in Harrison county. He employed Cochran to defend him, agreeing, as he alleges, to pay him $50 Mor his services. McKenzie had a certifi- cute of deposit for $260 in Oficer & Pusey's bank, which he now alleges he was com- pelled under duress (o assign over to Cocn- ran. In the application it is alleged that Cochran sald he would not get McKenzie out of his trouble unless he turned over the certificate of deposit to him.

Tho city treasury was enriched yester- day $69,690.79, which County Treasurer Arnd turned over to City Treasurer True. This amount represented the municipality's pro- portion of the taxes collected during the month of March and was made up as fol- lows: Regular taxes, $01,674.64; special taxes, $8,016.15.

That the dog tax idea has more uses than one was demonstrated in an interest- ing way Friday. A lost child was found on the downtown streets and with 1t was @ little black spanicl. From the collar about the dog’s neck dangled the tax tag and when the two runaways were taken to the city bullding it was easily found by refer- ence to the clerk's books to whom the dog belonged. The dog was registered 209, series of 1899, belonging to Wallace Shepard of Park avenue, aud on nquiry there 1t was found, as was fully expected, that both dog and child belonged to that family. Another pecullar fact in connec- tion with the incident Is that another child from the same family was found on the street and identified in the same way three | or four years ago.

B Cummins the privilege of selecting his own delegation *o the state convention at Cedar | Rapidy. In view of the fact that this county has sisty-four votes in the state convention, and that it is the home of Sid- ney A. Foster, another candidate for gov- | ernor, and also the home of Minister Con- ger, who has been considered a re-eptive candidate, and in the further view that the county has a candidate for judge of the supreme court and that all precedents had to be violated in making this move, the action is of statewide Interest. The convention was well attended. Car- roll Wright presided and delivered a stir- ring republican speech. The usual com- mittees were appointed and reported. The following are the resolutions reported by the resolutions committee Resolved, That the policy of the repib- liean party, both in natlonal and state af- irs, has promoted the honor of the nation and the prosperity of all the people; and we pledge ourselves to carry forward its prin- ciples with increased zeal, confident of aur- passing in the future the great victories of the past.

In other years the unit of selection has been the supervisor district and not the county. Accordingly a substitute was offered ex- empting that particular supervisor district trom the rule laid down in the resolutions. Ex-Governor Frank D.

The conven- tion was In the bands of Mr. Cummins' friends and they passed the committee re- port with great enthusiasm, and Mr. Cum- mins was permitted to name the delegates to the state convention. The convention then selected the county ticket. There was a sharp contest on sev- eral of the offices. The action of the con- vention today greatly strengthens A. B. Cummins In his convass for the republican nomination for governor. This 1s the county ticket nominated: Sen- ator, C. C. Dowell; representatives, Emory English and H. E.

GYPSY PAII Unique IS MARRIED East Celebration nt of Douglus Street bridge, Ben Martiu and Mary Gust, gypsies from the upper Nile country, were married ac- cording to the ritual of their tribe Friday afternoon in the gypsy camp at the cast end of the Douglas street bridge. Since then there has been feasting and barbaric revelry. The festivities will be continued during Sunday, at which time they will reach their helght, as Sunday is a gypsy holiday. It is known as the Fete Gargla, and seems to have some religious signifi- cance, though just what the tribesmen either could not or would not disclose. in reply to questions they answered only that live lambs would be offered in sacrifice. For more than a month the clans have been gathering In the cottonwood grove near the lowa approach of the bridge in order to celebrate this fete day with the proper solemuity, and the little colony now numbers ninety persons. They are there with their chariots, their painted wagons, their gaudy tents, their dancing bears, thelr monkeys, dogs, horses and children. The children are especially strong numer- feally und with their dirty faces and half- naked bodies constitute a picturesque feature of the camp. The women are also in great numbers. Most of them are for- tune tellers, as evinced by the great strings of beads about their necks, their flaming mantillas and their cheap jewelry. It is thelr fashion to go about with low-necked gowns and with bare arms and feet. Some present a dark-eyed type of beauty. In the middle of the camp is a little wall tent, very dirty and tattered, over the entrance of which flutter two flags, one carlet and the other white, and both of silk. This is the tent of the bride and groom. “Do you see that blue ribbon over the | flags 2" asked one of the tribesmen in his | broken English. “Well, that's for the United States." The ribbon was scarcely larger than a shoestring, but it was blue, and so, in the minds of the gypsies, was sufficient conces- sion to their adopted country. There was no gainsaying that there were Uncle Sam's colors—red, white and blue. In front of the tent was spread a large blanket, and about this set all of the older persons of the tribe. They were drinking beer in celebration of the wedding. In the middle of the blanket was an enormous dishpan full of the beverage, and on the | tallboard of a wagon hard by was a fresh | Kkeg. They drank from tumblers, pitchers, | tin cups, fruit cans, dippers and any other | vessel than came to hand. Ben Martin, the bridegroom, was pointed out. He says he is 21, but doesn't look to be more than 17, being & mere slip of a boy with a few straggling hairs on his upper lp, He was born in Buffalo, he says, but speaks English very imperfectly and is unable to read or write. “Yes, i was married yesterday after- noon.” he said. “We went over to Council Blufls, and I took out a license and then we went to a church and were married by & priest.” He seemed very anxious to bave it known that he was married according to Americar customs. At first he would not admit that the ceremony in St. Peter's Cuthollc church had been followed by an- other, wherein the tribe ritual had heen literally observed, but he finally stammered an admission that such had been the cae. “Is you wife in the tent there?’ was asked. “No. I don’t know where she is,”" was the answer. Then he changed the subject abruptly, and a moment later asked to be excused. A swarthy young gypsy with a black mustache, named Charlie Stanley, seems to be the chief of the tribe. He also spoke of the ceremony reluctantly. “My father, Pete Stanley, was the god- father,” be said. “Ben, here, and Mary stood up, and my father and Steve Jones stood up alongside of them, and I was the control to the business. I read It out of a book, and then they were married.” The nelghbors say that there were “signs of revelry by night” in the BYDSY camp after the ccremony. Candies, nuts and fruits were brought in from the city in great quantities, and what could not be eaten was scattered on the ground in front of the bridal tent. Then there was a dance on the swectmeats which lasted until early morning, to an accompaniment of barbarie music and shouting Penslon System Pleanes. The pension announcement of the Illinols Central was the cause of much satisfaction among the employes of that road In this elty. “I tell you,” said one, “that makes @ man stick to the road and always try to give the Lest service. When he knows that it his service merits coutinuous employ- ment ne will be cared for when he is too | old to work he naturally gives his best | efforts to his employers.” | Several of the men employed in the Cen- | tral offices here have been in the employ more than the required ten years, but none of them are over the required age of 61, the earliest that the benefits become mani- fest. On the eastern division, the older north and south lines of the system, many | men have already passed the limit and will immediately come under the attention of the pension bureau. | June NEW MUSIC FOR FESTIVAL Bellstedt Promises to Give Us Bome Things That Are Fre NOVELTIES FOR THE JUNE PROGRAMS Many Pretty Classies n Mis t List a4 Rtendy to Dellght His Omaha Friends.

Al the concessions fnside the grounds were let on Thursday evening last to the Young Women's Christian associa- tion, which will also have the fence adv tising. The committee reserved the pro- gram privilege alone, which will be en- tirely under its own direction Mr. Bellstedt wrote to Hospe on Thursday last and in his letter he states that the following pleces have come into hls possession since his last Omaha enga ment and will appear on the programs In June: “The Overtures to Saul.” a sacred drama by Bazzini; “The Roman Carnival, Berlioz; “Leonore, No Boethoven; gmont,” Beethoven; * lair,”” Havely Hachklaenge aus Ossian,” Gade; “Dragons De Villars.” Maillart; “Parsifal,” Wagner; “Overture de Ballo," Arthur Sullivan - lections from grand operas: Falstafl” by Verdi, the “Pearl Fishers” by Bizet, “Manon” by Massenet, and “The Flying Dutchman” and “Tristan and Isolde” by Wagner.

I am now going to work on ‘In the Garden' and a serenade from Goldmark's ‘Rural Wedding' symphony. Just at this moment, before closing this letter, 1 have received two more new pieces, vorspell to the fairy opera, ‘Hansel and Gretel,' by Humperdink, and the prelude to the third act in ‘Kunihild," a grand opera by Kistler. 1 will also bring this time the ballet music in ‘Austin,’ an opera by Heinrich Maschner, whose descendants reside in Omaha, and which will be of special Interest, as it I8 very pretty.'" Numerous committees have been engaged in selling twenty-ticket hooks at $5, and they have all had the most flattering suc- cess. Single tickets of admission during the festival will be 33 cents each, and book purchasers in advance will thereby save 10 cents on each ticket. o lE i Bl M R i BT Ante Room Echoes. E Considerable local interest centers around the meeting of the grand lodge of the An- clent Order of United Workmen of the state of Nebraska, which will convene at Nebraska City, Tuesday, May 14, for the reason that at this meeting the question of the location of the grand lodge head- quarters will be settled for a considerable length of time at least. Nebraska Work- men are going through the experiecce of those of older states, and no doubt the ques- tion of the location of the grand lodge headquarters will be settled here, as in the larger number of other ates where the matter has come up. The case of Minne- vota I8 in point. The grand lodge of that state formerly met first in one town and then in another. The expense of removing the grand lodge papers from headquarters to the meeting place was considerable and the lodge finally decided to hold all grand lodge meetings at headquarters. It was then seen that many of the delegates to the grand lodge combined their businss and lodge work, so that when they attended grand lodge sessions they purchased goods weeks ago It Concert by for their retall stores and other things which they could only secure in a large city. For this reason the headquarters were located In Minneapolis. Now the grand lodge of Minnesota is considering the ques- tion of holding the annual sessions at the time the retall merchants visit the whole- sale districts to purchase thelr «pring goods. It {s said that this policy wil re- sult in getting a better class of lodr egates and in saving a large sum of to the individual members, who wil thelr orders for goods In the tow the grand lodge fs located iere Omaha will send seventy-five delegates to the grand lodge at Nebrasho City and every man is pledged to work night and day to bring the headquarters = Omaba, The members of the order fn the ity have adopted a plan to assist hoth the grand lodge and city and will submit 4 proposi- tion to the state body which it belleves will be accepted, as it requires but a small expenditure of money on the part of the grand lodge In pursuance of this plan there will be a special mecting of the stockholders of the ‘Anclent Order of United Workmen Temple company at the hall Tuesday even- ing. at which important matters will be Qiscussed.

Wilcox is not to have a walk-away for the position of siate com- mander of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the election of officers of that organizu- tion, which will be held at the state en- campment at Plattsmouth next Tuesday. A practice has grown up in the order, which now amounts to an unwritten law, that the senior vice commander shall Lo advanced to the highest position, and there was no question of the selection of Major Wilcox until the last meeting of Farragut post at Lincoln last week. At that meet- ing C. H. Gould, a member of the post, w nominated for the office of commander and a resolution introduceed in the post Instructing its delegates to' vote for Gould's election. The resolution falled of passago for the reason that there is a member of the post who aspires to the position of junior vice commander, and thero were not enoug friends of cither party present to force the passage of a resolu- tion In favor of either candidate. It is not believed that ‘the opposition from Lin- coln will be sufficient to overthrow prece- dent, and It is belleved that Major Wilcox will be elcvated one degree. There is o thing which will operate agafnst him, and that is his resolution not to ammeunce the name of the man whom he will appoint as adjutant general of the department. It is customary for the candidates for depart- ment commander, at least in Nebraska, to make this announcement hefore the elec tiom, but Major Wilcox says that he will not determine upon his officer until after the election and will then select the best man among the applicants. He says, how- ever, that he believes the place should go to a Lincoln man, as the office is main- talned at Lincoln, where the state pro- vides a room rent free to the organization The retiring commander, John Reese of Broken Bow, will recommend that the offices of adjutant gencral and that of quar- termaster general be combined and it Is believed that the recommendation will he concurred in, as this action will save $200 a year to the soclety, There is nothing beyond routine matter slated for the consideration of the encamp- ment at its coming meeting, but the change in the place of holding the natlonal reunfon, from Denver to Cleveland, may be consid- ered, as there has heen considerable objec- tion in the state to the action of the n tional commander.

NO SHOWING OF DISHONESTY Approves Vi of Guardian of ¢ oehel Helrs, held sfons 1A District Court counting In the guardianship of Allen and Gertrude Goebel, Judge Slabaugh has affirmed the do- cision of the county court in approving the final accounting of Rev. John Williams, the guardian, excepting that the higher court charges the guardlan with the reasonable rental of two pleces of property for a per- iod of three ars, the aggregate amount being about $400. Judge Slabaugh finds that the guardiun 4id not make & reasonable effort o secure the rents, which fs & duty imposed upon him by the law. “There is no evidence,” said the judge, “of any dishonesty on the part of the guardian, but there is much evidence of his lack of business judgment.” MEN Festors you without druge or alectrielty | 75000 1n use; notone fallure. not one retu 0D fraud . write for NO PAY. 1f you have small, weak organs, NO CURE, loat power o weaken our Vacuum Orian Developer will drains, ter, J.
