Omaha daily bee., 1884-05-29

a day 8 session in Detroit, there were zoe
to 800 delegates we're in attendance. The
most important decision rendered was to
begin missionary work in Africa, and ex-
pend there this year $50, 900. Mr.. lie.
men, on last Friday, presented the cause
of the Home of the F%riendless, Of this
city, in the interest Of which he attended
the meetings.
The sheriff from Ida Grove expected to
ship back the mortgaged team and wagon
last evening, but the property has been
replevined by the woman who had been
deserted by her husband, having secured
legal advice. Much sympathy is ex.
pressed for her, and in view of the value
of the property, it seems as IL some ar
rangement could be made by which she
should save enough out of it to enable
her to reach her friends in Kansas.
George Holmes has taken hold of the
case, and it is hoped that he may sue
coed in protecting and helping the
woman, although her husband merits NJ
sympathy at all.
When John johnson, colored, was be
ing sentenced in the district court yester.
day, one of the court attendants thought
he saw a diamond glisten under the curly
hair of the prisoner. He informed Jail
or Schontz and when the fellow was
taken down in the Jail to serve his ten
days an examination revealed a loose
scale hanging from the negro's scalp,
which had, while in the court room, re-
fected the sun in such a manner as to
deceive the attendant.
Mr.. Regain naturally feels sore about
the trouble which is brewing about the
paving of the street car line. Until the
matter is settled he cannot go on with
his contract. Many of his expenses keep
on. He brought on from Washington,
ID. c., expert PAYERS, paying their expen-
ses and guaranteeing them 81 a day dur
ing the season. Now, in the very best
sort of weather, he will be obliged to be
idle unless the matter is adjusted at
once.
On decoration day, Friday, each of
the public schools in the city will join in

Eugene Dennis, a little boy who sells
THE BEE on the street, and who is aflict-
ed with epilepsy, fell in a fit on Main
street early yesterday morning, and lay
on the sidewalk while the priests and
Levites passed by without paying any at
tention to the poor little fellow. Theo-
dore Beckman proved the good Samar-
itan, and attended to the little fellow
until the boy was brought to.
Tailor Schontz has seventeen poaIders
10Y at his mansion, but four of these
will in a few days take trip to Fort Madi-
son. Clifford Hough would like to go
probably, but will be compelled to remain
in Jail five months longer on the sentence
by the federal court and the thirty days
he received yesterday from the district
court before he can begin his two years
sentence to the fort.

The Nonpareil yesterday. in noting the
important events, neglected to make
mention of the ''elegant new awning"
which was erected on Tuesday in front of

dows are being decorated with new let
tering.
