A great many took ad- vantage of the invitation. At Madrid when the band was playing the public school was dismissed and all the chydren given an opportunity to “listen to the band.” At Perry, the largest town visited Friday, the people were glad to see | the Omaha crowd. They are preparing for thelr street fair, to be held next week. | Dawson, Jamalca, Herndon, Bagley, Bay- | ard, all followed in rapid succession, with | the usual crowds on the streets to greet | and cheer liberal distribution of advertis- | ing matter.

Everybody was pleased with the visit at Coon Raplds, Could Not Look Over It. Dedham and Templeton then Manning. Manning was included in the former trip of some weeks ago, 80 was not included in the schedule to make a stop there, but the delegates remembered how hospitable was the town before and they did not have the heart to leave it out, so Manning had to stand a second invasion, and stood it well. In fact the people were so cordial the train was held until they had the Omaha bunch's pictures taken. Manilla was the next fifteen-minute halt, Aster and Deflance, ‘then Earling. Here the ex- cursion took lunch at an earnest invitation of the friendly citizens. Panama, Ports- mouth and Persia, and the last excursion of the year was at an end, and it was pronounced by all to be as successful as any former one. A touching indldent occurred on the trip. One of the band boys of the Twenty- second infantry, which goes in about ten days to the Philippines, met his aged mother In one of the small towns, and it was all the mother could do to stand the parting from her beloved boy.

FIRST PAYMENT FOR NEW BUILDING Searcely Probable that Fall Hundred Thousand Will Be Drawn This Season, as Time is Almon Eastern bond buyers notified Morlarty, cashier of the Packers' National bank, last night that they had placed $30,00 to the credit of the South Omaha | Board of Education. This money is the | first instaliment of the $100,000 voted for the erection of a high school bullding. As fast as the money is needed the bond buyers will forward it to the Packers' bank. The agreement was that the $100,000 should be pald in four installments, Owing to the lateness of the scason it is hardly probable that the entire amount will be drawn this y The arrival of the money provides for the payment of the plans and the ex- cavating and assures the contractors that the money will be forthcoming as needed. Under the present agreement the bullding is to cost not more than $75,000, the balance to be expended in furniture, fittings, etc. John Latenzer of Omaha has the contract for the plans and will superintend the work of construction. It is understood that the plans meet with the requirements and that the Board of Education will hasten construction as rapldly as possible.

He waited for them to come up, and without further words one of them struck him over the head. Ho was knocked down and laid there for some time, how long he does not know. Finally, after regaining his senses, he made his way to & Saloon, where he stald several hours. The pro- prietor of the place advised him to go to the police station. which he did.

Laughter and applause gave evidence of the enjoyment of the witty eallles ahd humorous points with which the plece bristles, and the songs were well received, too. No material change has been made in the Incidental words of the plece since its last appear- nce In Omaha beyond the addition of & | Joke or two to bring It up to date, one involving Sir Thomas Lipton and Rellance being particularly noticeable. Gus Welnberg is the Bungloo of Bak- terla, and works faithfully to make the part a go. He lacks somewhat In unctuous- | ness, but more than makes up for this In rnestness. Mr. Gregory's Slimguft is an excellent second and well supplements the Bungleo's effort. Olga von Hatzfeldt, who made a tour of the vaudeville circuit with a bevy of good-looking dancing girls, is slnging the songs that fall to the lot of | the poundmaster's daughter. She has a | volce that eludes classification, but its deficiencies are overlooked in the earnest endeavor of its owner to do something to please. This is more than noticeable in her “Flirty Little Gertle” song, which was better acted than sung last night. One of the principals Omaha & glad to hear from again is Ada Deaves, who is known and liked as one of the “funniest women In the business.” She delights in grotesque makeups, and it would be a hopeless part she couldn't get some fun out of. As Pene- lope she Is in her element, Miss Alma Youlin is singing the role in which May DeSousa delighted her Omaha friends last season, and fs singing it well. Her voice is sweet and melodlous, though not over- strong, and won for her several recalls last night. Mr. Shiels, basso, and Mr. Lieb, tenor, are both musiclanly singers, well equipped with vocal orgahs, contrib- uting much _to the pleasure of the even- ing. The chorus is strong, a little lacking in vocal unanimity, but all right in point of pulchritude, and the costumes and scenery, new and fresh, enable the com- position of a number of effective and pretty stage plctures. A matinee and evening performance to- day ends the engagement. DELLONE HOTEL IN NEW HANDS William ©, Heyden Takes Three-Year Lease on it, Succeeding Richard Johns The management of the Dellone hotel has changed hands, Willlam''C. Heyden suc- ceeding Richard Johnsan. Mr. Heyden was formerly in charge of the Melrose, a private hotel at Sixteenth and Jackson, and Mr. Johnson has been in the hotel busi- ness in Omaha for some years, spending a large portion of his time with the Dellone. Mr. Heyden has secured a thice-year lease on the Dellone, dating from October 1. He will take charge them and Mr. Johnson, whose plans are as yet immature, will take a much-needed rest, The proprietors of the Dellone are pre- paring to make radical changes and im- provements throughout the building, im- provements that will enable the hotel to cope with the best In the city, The new management has charge of the dining room, which has been closed for some time, and the rooming department as well, in tact the entire bullding. —e——— Because She Refused to Stroll, Because Flla McGuigan would not go walking with Frank Mliton last night assaulted her. The woman does not know what Milton used when he struck her, but, judging from the size of the lump ralsed on her forehead, it must have been a very effective weapon. She was uncon- sclous for some time, but finally attracted the attention of someone, who notified the police. Bhe was taken fto the station. where her head was bandaged up and some healing lotion put on the lump. Miss McGuigan speaks of the effrontry of Ml ton In no uncertain terms, and she threat- ens him with dire vengeance when the po- lice land him in Jjail. Both parties are colored, and the woman lives at 1124 Chi- cago street. Held for Robbing s Pal Patrolman Rinn arrested Jack Flynn of Twelfth and Douglas streets, and Jack MoGuire, Who possesses no regular place of abode, as suspiclous characters yester- day afternoon. The attention of *he po- liceman was called to the two men by John Connors, who met them in Odin's hall on lower Farnam street. After the three had become acquainted by taking a few drinks together they repaired to a weed patch on North “Eleventh street, where they had a few cans of beer. Con- nors had the misfortune to go to sleep. and en he awoke he found his pocketbook, hich contained $15, and his watch missing. Connors will be held to appear against the two men. Touched for His Roll. J. H. Hurst, man from St who says he is a lumber- Joseph, Mo., is the latest victim of the colored touching committes of the Third ward. He met a colored woman at Seventeenth and Chicago streets late last night and accompanied her into an alley. When they had been there a short time the woman cried out that the police were coming and started towards the street on the run. Hurst reached for his roll of bank notes, amounting to $100, and found it gone. The money was in one of his vest pockets. Several colored women were arrested as suspects, but none of them could be identified by the man who lost the cask Fell from a Roof. Willlams, residing at 2016 Charles street, fell a distance of twenty feet yes- terday afternoon, alighting in_a pile of shingles on his left shoulder. He suffered a very severe contusion of the shoulder, but no bones were broken. Willlams was shingling & house at 2719 Charles street, when he lost his balance and fell from the roof of the bullding to the ground. ' He was removed to the police station and after his injyries had been dressed by Police Surgeon MacDiarmid was taken to his home. He will probably be laid up for several days as a fesult of the fall, but no serious consequences are anticipated. | Vietims Do Not Agree.

ARREST IS REGARDED AS IMPORTANT Chiet Donahue and Chief Dunn, with Thelr Men, Will Be on Close Watch for Usaal Crowds, The festive fakir has made his appear- ance in antlcipation of Ak-Sar-Ben week, but he has fared badly. Chief Donahue has his force on the lookout and believes he can keep the usual carnival gang of crooks down to the minimum. Of the first gang five were arrested Thurs- day night by Detectives Savage, Mitchell and Davis. They were found snugly en- scenced at 316% South Tenth. Among those fcund at this place was “Billy” Morgan, the leader and according to the police the smoothest proposition that has shied his castor in their midst for many years. Mr. Morgan has shown his cleverness on at least one occasion within the knowledge of the police. He it was, they say, who hired the confiding young man from Lincoln, promising him work on a cattle ranch near Butte, Mont., at $45 a month and board, and did not forget to borrow $33, all the young fellow had, on the strength of giving him the job. Associated with Morgan and now In the city jall are George Clark, Tom Gorman, Harry R. Mitchell and a woman, Lulu Mitchell, who says she is Mitchell's wife; Liszle Henry, supposed to be Morgan's wife; H. H. Kline, J. Heckman and A. Peilt. The last four named were arrested Friday morning. The police say there is plenty of evidence in their possession to fully establish the character ¢f the crowd. The police say the men have 2,000 blank checks sultable to all parts of the country. Two checks already drawn, one in the sum of $675, made payable at a bank in Minneapolis, and an- other for $600, payable on a small bank in Wisconsin, were found on Morgan. A good supply of what the police say look like bonds in blank form, but in reality are mere imitations, were also found among the paraphernalia necessary to the proper conduct of a fisst-class “confidence” estab- lishment. A specific charge will be filed agalnst Morgan and others of the gang within a few days. For the present all will be held at police headquarters pending further in- vestigation. Some of the gang figured in police court last week, having been found in An oplum “joint.” BARBER FILES AN APPEAL 1t Firm Seeks to Estop Payment to the Nebraska Bitulft Company. The repairing of asphalt paved streets is ain in the district court, but not this time as on three previous occasons dur- ing the present year, in the form of an in- Junction. Adams & Morgan, attorneys for the Bar- ber Asphalt Paving company, have flled an appeal from the allowance by the city councll of the bill of John Grant and the Nebraska Bitulithic company for asphalt used in repairing Fifteenth and other streets the last ten days. By the appeal the mayor and other city officlals are noti- fled mot to pay the claim until it is passed upon by the district court. Similar appeals will be filed on any further street repair bills allowed by the council. Under the charter any taxpayer is per- mitted to file such an appeal, in which case the person presenting the claim must prove it before the courts. The appeal will not stop the work, as would an injunction. “I'll go to fail, if it is necessary, to pay the honest bills that the city has contracted for repalrs to asphalt paving," was the declaration made by Comptroller Lobeck this morning. Harry W. Cowduroy of the Barber Asphalt company had just filed no- tice that the bill of the Nebraska Bitu- lithic company for more than $1,00 worth of asphalt would be contested in court, The remarks of the comptroller illustrate the temper of all city officials in the matter of repairing asphalt pavements. They say the flerce fight between the two paving companies has gone far enough and the line must be drawn, even though a sacrifice is entalled. The repairs are going forward rapldly and much to the satisfaction of the engineering department. Did Not G The Omaha Trunk company upmud to the police that its store room at 1209 Far- nam street had been entered during the night by parties who were bent on opening the safe, but who had failed. probably be- ing trightened away. Entrance had been llofll{ by setting inte the Dbasement through @ coal chute on the sidewalk. A | door had been broken and an _entrance effected into the main room or office. The would-be safe crackers drilled a hole through the first layer of the safe door, but did not tamper with the lock, and the com- bination was found to be all right. No loss, therefore, was sustained. STUTTERING JIM IS IN JAIL -Imnedlm!n( with Speech and Obliguity in Morals Locked Up. “Stuttering Jim" Smith Is back in Omaha, and occuples his usual residence, the city | Jail. Jim has probably had as much trouble | as any man in the city, but he absolutely | refuses to take warning from past punish- ment and be good. The last time he was up before Judge Berka he was given time ! enough to get out of town, and as he was strapped, as usual, he could only get as far as Council Blufts. He stald there a few days, but the glimmer of the Omaha lights at night proved too much of an attraction for him and he wandered back. After his arrival, being still without funds, it oe- curred to him that measures to replenish the exchequer would have to be taken, so | he cast about him for something that was loose. Mrs, Schindler went home Thursday | afternoon, after being absent almost all day, and found her door open. She resides at | 22 Caldwell street. When she entered the house a cofored man made his exit through the back door. The woman marked him | carefully and gave the description to the police, who immediately surmised that Jim | was back In town. An officer was sent out to look him up, and sure enough, he was found. He is charged ‘with being a sus plclous character, but this charge will prob- ably be changed to one of & more serious | nature.
