GOOD GRAFT THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS Penniless Printer and Ro Get a Ride Free by Virtue of Some Skillful Prevarl- enting. A group of well known Nebraska politi- clans gathersd In the smoking room of the Tler Grand an evening or two ago, com- paring notes of their campalgning days and discoursed upon the vicissitudes of epeech making in out-of-the-way localities In or- der to fire the patriot heart up to the requi- #ite degree of enthusiasm. “Beveral years ago,” remarked a former candidate for attorney general of Nebraska, “George Hastings and I were campalgning up in Boone county, doing a school house to achool house stunt, and Hastings had a pretty good speech. It was one he used everywhere, 8o having heard it often I got the speech down pat, and when we reached Alblon, 1 recollected that the speech 1 was to dellver there 1 had spoken the year be- fore, so the thought seized me to deliver Hastings' speech. Well it was worth an election to see Hastings' face when I be- ®An to enthuse over his most eloquent per- fods. The audience was a blg one and cheered the speech most heartily “Well, when It came Hastings' turn to mpeak he excused himself on the plea of a cold, told a good story and the meeting adjourned. He treated me coolly, but sald nothing, and I began to get a little sus- plefous and aldn’t know just how he would t even with me. But he did all right enough. We ordinarily pald our own hotel expenses. He would settle both bills at one town and then the next time I would settle them. It was his turn to square the bill at Alblon, and so T paid no attentfon to the little formality of liquidating the board bill When we started away the next morning 1 was accosted by a constable just as I was getting aboard the train, and {nformed that 1 was under arrest for trying to jump a board biil. Well, it was very humiliating. especially before'a blg crowd that was there at the train to see us away, but there was no help for it, and as the traln was about to start I proposed to the constable that we would be back that way in a short while and T would put in an appearance to answer the charge. But the cuss was ob- durate and wouldn't compromise. 1 was Kejting desperate and offered to pay up, but he insisted that T would have to go before the justice of the peace, as he had no au- thority to settle the matter. The train whistled to start, and just then Hastings poked his head out of a car window and gave the constable the wink and I was re- leased.” “1 heard a fairly good story recently on the pass question,” sald Ed Newell, a Des Moines traveling man, at the Paxton yes- terday. “A chap ran a small paper in an out-of- the-way Towa town, whose chief ambition in lite was to get a raflroad pass, or free ticket to a circus or show, and he would go to any extreme to gt it. He had occasion to go from his town to Des Moines, and learning that one of the rallway magnates was In his viilage he put in a whole day nearly hunting him up and finally cornered hitn at the hotel. The distance from his town to Des Moines was not to exceed fifty miles, but that fellow spent just $7 in good hard cash to work the railroad man for a $2 pass, and then.he didn't get it. “Incldentally that recalls a case that hap- pened In Towa a fow years ago on the pass question that is worth repeating. An old tramp printer was beating his way on a train coming Into Marshalitown and was called upon by the conductor to produce his transportation. The ‘ptint' told a pathetic story about misplacing his pass, and that he was the city editor of a paper published in an adjacent town and that in changing his vest had forgotten the pass when he left the office. The conductar hesitated a moment and told him that the editor-in- chlef of the paper was in another car, and that It he would identify the ‘print,' it would be all right. He walked back to the car where the editor-in-chlef sat and the conductor observed to the chief that his city editor was aboard the traln without transportation and wished to be identified. To the complete astonishment of the ‘print’ the editor promptly vouched for him and the conductor left the two staring at each other. The editor beckoned to the ‘print’ to sit down beside him, and remarked to him: ‘SBay, old boy, you helped me out in great shape. 1 ain't the editor, but T bor- rowed his pass to make this trip and the conductor has been a little shaky about it @ever since I've been on the train, but by your Identifying me it fixes it all right. Have a cigar.' " “T was in Ohlo during the Garfleld and Hancock presidential campaign,” sald a former Buckeye, in a hotel lobby last night, “and among the principal campaign speak- ers in the central part of the state were George K. Nash, now governor of Ohlo, and a former Kansan, Will E. Guerlin, formerly of Fort Scott. Nash and Guerin ‘were booked for a speech at a place called Borrors Corners, several miles south of Columbus. Tt was a solld democratic sec- tion and it required considerable nerve for republicans to speak there. In fact, it Was A common ocourrence to mob repub- lican speakers In that locality. However, the two speakers put in an appearance on time and the hall was frowded. No one was there to introduce the speakers, so Nash, who knew a few of the people down there, took It upon himself to introduce Guerin as the first speaker. Guerin made a fine speech, but the wudience was as imperturbable as a graveyard. Then Nash got up to speak angd extolled the virtues of Garfield and Arthur, but was very care- Sul not to say anything that might provoke @omment aganst Hancock or English. It ‘was the effort of Nash's life. He spoke nearly two hours. The audience sat through the whole meeting without giving the slightest expression of approval or di approval and Nush and Guerin felt that as they were being listeped to with such ulet respect they were at least making &ood impressions. “Nash's addfess was finally closed, and then a stoloal ol fellow in the front part of the room arose and asked the speakers 1f they were through Being answered af- | firmatively the old fellow audience and said: *We will now give Hancock and English.’ ‘And they did It with a vim that nearly unroofed the bullding.

He was a fine speaker and always in demand during political campaigns. He was billed on one occasion for a republican speech in a strong democratic township and the same night the democrats were to have a meet- ing at an adjoining school house. Geiger knew the country like a book and always drove out to his meetings alone. The cam- palgn was an exceedingly warm one and Gelger put in an appearance at one of the school houses a little ahead of time. The buflding was crowded and Geiger lost no time in getting down to business. He noticed, however, that his speech was not being recelved with that enthusiasm that he would like, but that warmed him up all the more. Before he waa half through he was somewhat astonished to see the democratic orators who were to speak at the other meeting enter the room and ap- proach the platform. Joe put in all the time that could possibly be allowed for a meeting and scored the democracy to a finish. When he had concluded the audi- ence rapidly left the room and gathered in groups outside to discuss the situation. One of the democratic orators, who was billed to speak, Congressman Joseph H. Outh- ‘walte, was the first to realize the situation and Informed Mr. Gefger that he had got to the wrong school house and was addreas- ing a democratic meeting. All thelr ef- forts to get the crowd together again were unavatling and the democratic orators had to go home without working oft their speeches. The republican meeting which Gelger was to address got tired of walting ing for him and adjourned.” COUNT WRITES TO MILLER De Argneff Says He Intended Reim- bu; ng Omaha Man—Hearing in Albany Today. Count de Argneff, who has something of a local record, will have his trial at Roch- ester, N. Y., today, which will determine whether he is to be brought to Omaha to answer to the charge of having forged two checks and secured the endorsement of Rome Miller before cashing them. The evidence which will be brought to bear, Chief Donahue says, is conclusive and will tain Dunn. Among the letters in relation to De Argnef's case and forwarded to Captaln Dunn so that he wi get them on this morning's mail, Is a letter the count wrote to Mr. Miller since he has been arrested at Rochester. In the letter, the chief asserts, the count virtually admits his guilt and pleads with Mr. Miller to withdraw the charge, as he intends reim- bursing him when he can. He tells Mr. Miller In his letter, the chief says, that he was soliciting life insurance with a view to paying back to him what he considered a temporary loan. The manner In which the count obtained the loan, the chief says, shows an utter lack of business principles and a desire to defraud. Since the count’s detention in Rochester Chief Donahue has been looking up his record just a little, he says, and finds he s nelther new in the forgery busines nor unacquainted with the interior of a Jall. “The man has been in jall at Anaconda Butte, Great Falls and Missoula, all cities of Montana. As near as 1 can ascertain the count flooded that state with spurious checks and barely escaped being landed in the penitentiary. He was in jall on the charge of forgery at Butte for several weeks, but got out of the difficulty by effecting a compromise, such, probably, as he suggested In his letter to Mr. Miller.” sald the chief. A Sunday evening the chiet received a tel- egram from Captain Dunn, requesting that all papers requisite to establishing De Argneff's guilt, in order that his extradl- tion may not be delayed, be Immediately forwarded to him in Albany. The chief sald that all necessary papers have gone forward and it only remains, in his opinion, for the count's hearing to come up today to secure his return to Omaha.

For sale by Kuhn & Co, TWO STORIES DO NOT AGREE Man Identi fee Mistake Hi ( Made. James J. Crowe, residing at 832 North Twenty-fourth street, South Omaha, wa picked up by the police of that elty about one week ago in company with four other men. The whole party was taken on the charge of belng susplcious characters. Sat- urday the South Omaha police telephoned to the Omaha station that they held some suspiclous persons and would like to have 4 man sent down to see if any of them were wanted in this city. Two detectives went to look them over. They spotted Crowe s answering the description of the man who held up the saloon of Henry J. Oest about a week ago. Oest was sent for and positively identified the man the perty who tock his property at the point of & gun, amounting to §58 In cash, a watch and revolver. Not sutisfied with this, how- ever, one of the other men in the saloon at the time of the holdup was sent for and be also identified the man as the party who did the work The detectives were then convinced that they had the right man and brought him to this city. He was lodged in the city jail last night. During the ovening Captain Mostyn placed him in the sweatbox to see if he could not be Induced to make a con- fession. After sweating him for some time the captain became convinced that he had { nothing to do with the robbery. He told a straight-forward story of his whereabouts on the night the oldup occurred. and named ahout a ¢Asen residents of South Omaha who coud vouch for his good char- acter, and who would testify that he had not been away from that city during the evening the robbery oceurred. Crowe f{s employed at one of the packing houses and rooms with the foreman under whom he works. It seems a Mttle queer to the po- lice that the man could be identified by two of the parties who were held up, espe- clally when they stated that they could positively identify the man If he wus cap- tured Bela A robbery tollowing the week ago, has the police.

Hronte Raoul .. bk ek Pleguet . hi PRINCESS CHIC 6 That brightest and sprightiiest and most substantial, withal, of recent comie operas, “Princess Ghic,” was given its fourth an- nual welcome in Omaha yesterday by au- diences that crowded the Krug theater to fts utmost. 1t may be that the low price of admission had something to do with the size of the attendance, but that cannot be said of the merit of the opera. Its posi- tion has long since been established. and from ocean to ocean it has won its way as the best thing since “Robin Hood," and well worthy to stand on a level with that famous lyric. Tts music is not particularly ambitions, but has the distinctive quality of tasteful composition, combined with a persistent regard for harmony and a whole- soma respect for public intelligence. Tts melodies have a lilt and a swing that Is re- freshing. And the story is a good one, well told, with Incidental songs that have never wavered In their power to please. It is easy to belleve that “Princess Chic” will be sung long after some of the more showy of modern “musical” productions are mold- ered In forgotten pigeon-holes. It has both the quality and substance that entitle it to endure. Several changes have been made in the singing company since it was last here, but none that affects it serfously, save that the grand basso profundo of Joseph Miron 18 no longer there to roll out in majestic volume the refrain to “War is 3 Bountiful Jade” Miss Vera Michelena, who was first heard here last season shortly after being called upon to sing the role, is leading the company. She has now the advantage of experience and the confidence that comes with it, and allows her glorious voice full sway with the really pretty songs scored for the role. Her tones are full and round and_ clear, and she sings with such little apparent effort that one can easily imagine she has as much delight In her song as does the auditor, ind that is saying much, for the lover of music must certainly find pleasure in her singing. Add to this the freshness of youth and the graceful car- riage of a figure that Is all but perfect in its shapeliness, and the secret of her suc- cess is easily understood. The other prin- cipals In the cast are all good, and the chorus is commendable for ite singing abil- ity. Costumes are fresh and bright and the scenery 18 new, the whole making a most pleasing entertainment. The theater was crowded at both per- formances yesterday. The engagement will continue until after Wednesday evening, with a matinee on Wednesday. at the Crelghton-Orpheum. One standing at the door of the Creigh- ton-Orpheum last night could easily have imagined that there had been no interven- tion of a long summer since that popular place of amusement had given its last Sun- day evening show. All the “regulars” were on hand, and they made up an audience that not only filled the theater, but which enjoyed a well chosen bill to the utmost degree. It is a happy combination of muse, comedy and athletics, devised to please, and If laughter and applause form & cri- terion, It is eminently successful. The Golden Gate quintet, four ‘male and one female voice, open the program with a lot of ‘“coon” songs and foolery, an ex- cellent imitation of a Chinese chorus, and some dancing that s good. “Whistling | Tom'" Brown whistles as musically as ever and has added some imitations to the list he used to please the public with when he was the bartender in “A Hole in the Ground.” Rosie Rendle, ‘international dancer,” is graceful and does some inter- esting steps, clad In costumes suggestive ‘ot different nations. Heeley and Meely are as funny a pair as/Omaha has seen in a long time. Bach Is a finished acrobat, Meely being espectally gifted in the wa of tumbling abllity, and Heeley is a fun- maker of the first class. To Lavender and Thompson falls the sketch of the evening, an interview between an actress posing as a writer and a pugliist disguised as a foot ball player. It is cleverly concelved and well executed. James J. Morton came as a stranger, but his monologue won him a standing right off the reel, it is so different. Time taken in attempt to describe it would be wasted; one must hear his flow of non- sense In order to appreciate it. Several times it has seemed as If the limit of pos- aible tricks on the ticycle had been reached, but the Kauffmann troupe had added some new ones, daring and seemingly impossible, but \done with a dash and grace that won tremendous applause. The kinedrome has some good pictures. Not the least pleas ng | teature of the entertainment is the music rendered by the orchestra, under the direc- tion of Albin Huster. “The Village Parson"” at the Hoyd. Two large audlences assembled at the Boyd yesterday to listen to the unfolding of the simple little tale with the excellent moral told by “The Village Parson.” It deplcts the life of a clergyman whose hap- piness has been clouded by the supposed unfaithfulness of his wife. This suspicion is due to the efforts of a rascally lawyer |to separate husband and wife in order that he may gain the woman. The situa- tions that develop from this plot and its working out.are strong and full of genuine heart interest. The company which pre- sented It here for the two performances is well balanced and capable, and was warmly applauded by the people, who followed the plece from first to last with much Interest.

The party sat down ugder the viaduet to drink it. they were sitting there W. H. Hall and C. L. Griggs, both living at 1108 Bouth Twelfth street, and Willlam Moore of Plattsmouth came along. One of the men in the latter party addressed a remark to the others, who were sitting down, which immediately led to a fight, as a result of which Hall lies at his home in a badly battered condition. Tompking, who resides at 703 Leaven- worth street, was the only man arrested at an early hour this morning. Griggs, one of the companions ot Hall, rode to the station in the patrol wagon when Tomp- Kins was taken In. According to his story, the Injurfes to Hall's head are due to bricks thrown by Watton and Tompkins. Tompkine admitd that Watton pounded Hall over the head with the butt end of a buggy whip which he was carrying, but said he did not know whether the whip was loaded or not. Hall's head bears several severe cuts and his lips and face were also bleeding when he was removed to his home by Griggs and a friend, Charles Long. Hall was resting comfortably this morning and it Is belleved his recovery will be speedy.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2.—Despondent over the loss of $35,000 in the June flood, Henry Movkley, former proprietor of the Rivesside pocking house, committed sui- cide today by sending a bullet through his brain. The tragedy occurred in a desolate room in a tenement house. Mockley was G4 years old and had lived in Kansas City twenty years, coming here from Switzerland. Several yecars ago he established the Riverside packing houss and his business enjoyed a prosperous growth until the flood came, when he lost nearly all of his property. | Three weeks later fire made the ruin of his packing plant complete. For several weeks he has made an attempt to re-es tablish himself in the packing business, but his friends have noticed that he was moody of late and it is belleved he took his own Iife because he felt that he was too old to recoup his fortune.

For the week ce- celpts have been fairly liberal, ns there I8 an_incrense over last week amounting to more than 5000 head. ever, -there is .a head. | There was quite a sprinkling of cornfed steers in the receipts all the week, but the demand was in market on Thursday. At that time packers began pounding the market in bad shape s-d_continued the same tactics on Friday. On_those two days they took off about 36c, which left the market right around a quar- ter lower than at the close of last week. All kinds suffered in the decline. One of fhe principal reascns for this break in prices at this point was the dechne at custern markets earlier in the week, which left this | conse- | market out of line, and packers quently had to take it all off at one time It is not safe to quo! od to choice corn- feds higher than $5.3565.50, while fair to good cattle would sell from $4.7 to $5.2 and commoner kinds from $4.35 to $4.65. The cow market has held up in much tet- ter shape than the markel for cornfed steers. Good to cholce grades can safely be quoted about steady. By this is meant grass £tock good enough to bring $2.9 or cornfeds good enough to sell above $3.75 choice bunch of cornfeds ought to sell right around $4.50, while choice grassers could he Guoted up to $3.65. The cattle that have suffered are the medium and common cows, such as sell from $2.75 down, but even those are not more than 10@2c lower. Bulls, veal galves and stags have shown very little change all the week and could | 1ot be quoted anything but steady. Cholc als sell up to $5.00 and grass bulls se largely from $2.00 to §250. Cornfeds are very scarce. This has been about the :nost successful week of the season In the stocker and feeder division. The demand from the coun- try has been heavier, so that. aithough re- prices have been strong all the week and not many cattle will be carried over Sunday in the lands of epeculators. The best grades are safely 104 13c higher. and by that is meant chofes heavy dehorned cattle and also choice horned eattle of good welght. Lirht and common stuff has sold more readily tjs week, but the prices have not improved to any great extent. Strictly cholce heavy cat- tle could be quoted from $400 to $4.0. fair to good from $3.60 1o §3.90 and fair to me- | alum from $3.25 to $3.60. There was a good supply of western beef steers on hand the first of the week. but, the same as has been the case all the sea” son. the quality was rather inferlor, but improvement over the lnat few weeks. Good fo cholce cattle found ready sale from $3.75 to $4.50. but the bulk of the general run sold from $2.00 to $3.50. The early part of the week prices were a little higher and the latter part there wera not enough cattle offered to test the market but owing to the hreak in cornfeds it is safe to say that all the advance would have been lost and probably more, too, especially on the common kinds. The best grades of range cows are abont stendv for the week and may be quoted from $3.00 to $3.65. Talr {0 good grades are ahout 10f%e lower and sell from $2.50 to $2.90. Canners are also 108 e lower and sell from $1.76 to $2.25. West- ern stockers and feeders are 106 15c higher where the auality is cholce, with the gen- aral run of ecait'e also a little stronger. They have been selling in the notches quoted above OGS —There was a very light run of hogs here this morning ever for a Sstur- day. and the market advanced just about a nickel. The market on paper showed more of an tdvance than that, but the nuallty was considerable better than ves- ferday. as there were more lightweights The heavy hogs sold largely from $.6 to with common stuff going from $5.65 Aown; meldum welghts _sold from $5.70 to and 'ights from $5.75 to $5.85. Trading was fairly active, so that a reasonably Yy clearance was made In spite of the fact that trains were slow in arriving For the week receipts show a decrense as compared with last week amounting to about 8.000 head. As compared with the corresponding week of last year. however, there 1# an increase of about 9,000 head. The increase in hog receipts for the year to date now amounts to about 7.0 head. The general tendency of prices has been upwerd this week and a net gain of z|lm_vll 1o is noted. This advance "carries the market to the high point of the month and In'fact to the highest point reached since fine 2. The feature of the market is the Aserfmination of packers against common ogs of all welghts. Hogs lacking In qual- ity even if they are light have to #ell down With the heavy hogs. and where the hogs are both heavy and common they are very hard te dispose of and have to_ sell con- siderably below the ‘bulk of ~the sa'es. spresentative sale » 2’0 e 65 n os. @ “ ] 31 H M 7 £ 3 i bl “ “ 4 a & ) 3 # SEEIARAST © “ i (3 240 5 LI % 5 “ 57 ® SHERP-There were no fresh arrivals of sheep and lambs here this morning and for week receipts have also been light ar there i a decrease as comnarad with last week, amounting to about 14,000 head.
