HAYDEN'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Takes Two Pages to Tell It-And Then Not
the Half is Told.
SELLING OUT THE NEW YORK STORE STOCK
The Grandcst Weeks Business Ever
Done by a Single Firm Since
Omaha First Appeared on
the Map.

The crowds, the crowds. did you see the
crowds at Hayden's all this week. 1t 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 we'll nigh depleted by this time
but 1t was AN immense purchase-a transact
tion such as happens but once in an ordinary
mortais lifetime. The New York store was
opened three months ago in the Bell de-
partment store building at the corner of Fiji
teenth and Dodge streets. The firm had a
complete stock of goods, all new and bought
this season. The stock invoiced $3.50, 900 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 IL is taken into con-
sideration that hardly ninety days ago these
goods were all in the factories and bought
at a lime when goods were the cheapest 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 its actual cost. Do you Won
der why they are selling so cheap? Can any
bankrupt 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 name a price Haydens cannot cut
in two?
me Bee gives up considerable space to
iiayden Bros. today, but every reader who
scans their announcements on pages 4 and
D VIII certainly be benefited thereby.

ruuRsToN RIFLES NEW QUARTERS.
Kept open House for Miiitiamcn Dur
ing Fair Week.

ing Fair Week.
The Thurston Rifles have within the last
few weeks moved into their new armory at
the corner Of Douglas and Fiji
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 quartermaster's
department Is furnished with desks, clothes
racks, property boxes, and is presided over
by Q~uartermaster Carl Hoffman with more
dignity and autocratic power than the prop
erty man Of Rice's 1892.
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,
plants and ferns. This furniture was moved
In in time for fair week, and the rooms pro-
fusely decorated with flags and bunting Tor
the reception of friends and visitors. The
windows Of the armory afforded a fine view
Of the parade the past week.
The rooms were filed all last week with
visiting militiamen from all over the state.
The North Platte band played some fine music
on one or two evenings, and the Thurstons
furnished much amusement by several Inn
promptu speeches and songs. Among the lat
ter were solos by Private Richards and
Q~rartermaster Hoffman The company quar-
tet sang several selections. The grasshoppers
sang their Rye Straw" chorus, lead by their
chief. Lack of facilities 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 that has made them so many
friends In the past.

The Odd Fellows of Omaha claim credit
nesday evening last, especially the uniform
rank of the order. With their beautiful
uniforms and fine military drilling. thew
were well worth seeing, and were appreciated
by the citizens OF Omaha and by the visitors.

hourlshing condition, especially State lodge
No. 10. They are getting ready to put the

Their degree team took the first prize in
Lincoln four years ago, putting on the third
degree, and claim II will do 1t again.
The Royal Arcanum, with its usual pro-
gressiyeness, made a splendid showing at the
state fair last week. Thomas L. Gavin. as
sisted by w. j. Kennedy, kept open house on
the grounds, where member OF the order,
their families and friends, were made well
come. On account of the short time fol
preparation, 1t was impossible to erect a
building 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 II was a noticeable feature that the
Royal Arcanum tents were the only ones
that were foored. 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 $50 persons

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS


Mrs. Jarkson, widow of c. Jarkson, a
laborer who was killed at the Hammond
packing house several days ago, is complain
ing. Her husband was killed while stepping
from one car to another while the cars were
being iced. He fell and a car ran over him
crushing one of his legs and inflicting severe
injuries on his skull. His leg was amputated
and he did not live twelve hours after the
accident. An inquest was held and the cor
orer's jury brought in a verdict of accidental
death caused by Jarkson's own carelessness.
Mrs. Jarkson says that the Hammond folks
have not kept their agreement with her. She
says that the company promised to pay her
$40 a week, her husbands salary, and SIS a
month for house rent. On the following pay
day at Hammond's a check for 50 was brought
to Mrs. Jarkson and she was told that was
the balance due her husband when he was
killed. That was all the company gave her.
She says the agent of the company also
promised to pay Jarkson's funeral expenses,
but did not pay all. Mrs. Jarkson is now
stepping with friends and Is quite i'll. Her
friends are trying to collect enough money
to send her back ito her native land, Russia.

HEARING OF BARNES AND FOSTER,
Bank SwindIers Brought Up Before
Judge Bcrl<a.

JuuSe beTNhs
The case OF Edward Barnes and Harry Fos-
ter, charged with trying to fimflam the
American National bank out of 81 goo 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 $500. Harry Crane of the National Bank
Of Commerce of Kansas City testified that
Barnes, under the name of w. Brady, opened
an account with the bank last Monday, de-
posting $3.50. This had all been drawn out
of the bank on the morning of the nth eX-
cept So.
Charles M. Vining, paying teller of the
Union National. testified that Foster, under
the name Of George II. Fields, opened an ac-
count with his bank a week or ten days ago
and although several checks were made on
the account at different times the account
remained good. On the afternoon of the 18th
Foster called at the bank and had a check
cashed fer 500. In the morning he had de-
posted a check for the same amount in the
bank, payable on the National Bank of Com
merce. When the check Of the Union Ma
tional went through the clearing house,
drawn on the National Bank of Commerce, it
was thrown out and the Union National was
loser. The two men tried to work the same
scheme in this city, selecting the First Ma
tional and the American as a field Of opera
tons. About 81 200 was deposited at differ
ent times in the two banks, but when 1t
came to the critical moment they were de-
tected and jailed 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
commit them they will probably be sent to
Kansas City to answer to the charge of de-
frauding the Union National.
Hardware Dealers Go to the Wall.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 21.-Wendt & Wente,

trolled by the firm, assigned today. Thu
liabilities of the hardware firm are 500, 600
and of the stove company $50, 900; assets of
both concerns, $20, 900.

WOMAN CONFEssEs A MURDER.
Admits that She Killed Her LandIady
md nnrneh the Indy.

MONROE, Mich, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Enos
Larkins has confessed that she killed Mrs.
Jane Merrill, her husbands benefactor, whose
bones were recently scraped from the fun
eral pyre built to hide the evidences Of the
crime. Mrs. Larkins says Mrs. Merrill came
to her house In the evening to collect rent
and abused both Mr.. and Mrs. Larkins. The
latter engaged in a quarrel with the old
lady in the dooryard and threw a stick OF
wood, striking Mrs. Merrill on the side OF the
head and killing her instantly. Then Enos
dragged the body to the woods. The grave
was dug that night. The body was finally
burned in the woods a few. days afterward.
Mrs. Merrills household goods were moved
out Of Mrs. Merrill's house to
make people think she had moved
away. Mrs. Larkins admits impersonating
the murdered woman, writing the lease, mort
gage and a letter to II. o. Sabel, signed Mrs.
Merrill, asking him to turn over all her
papers in his possession to Enos Larklns.
