Nicola ROBBERY is TRACED
An Omaha Prisoner Has in His Pos
session Several Suits of Clothing
Belonging to N. Pruitt.

The robbery Of a general merchandise
store at Neola, Ia, has been traced to the
door of Robert Carpenter, now in the city
jail. Carpenter was arrested several days
ago on suspicion by Detectives Keysor and
Sullivan They failed to convict him OF va
grancy, but as they believed him to be "a
good man." they rearrested him. suit Of
clothes worn by him at the time looked sus-
picious. They went to his room and found
several other new suits. The tags had been
removed from them and thrown under the
bed by Carpenter. The officers found them
and they were sent to the manufacturer in
st. Louis by Chief White. The information
was returned that the clothes had been sold
to a merchant in Nicola The police then
learned that N. Pruitt's general merchandise
store had been broken into and robbed on
the night of May 13. Several suits of cloth
ing and other articles of considerable value
were taken The Iowa authorities were
notified and Thursday Mr. Pruitt came over
to see Carpenter. He identified the cloth
ing as part of his stock the suit worn Sy
Carpenter when he was arrested being in
cluded in the Identification. Carpenter de-
clined to return to Iowa without requsition
papers and, as no complaint had been lodged
against him in Pottawattamie county, he
could not be charged here as a fugitive from
justice. Mr. Pruitt returned to Council
Bluffs to file the necessary complaint.

Return of william Lampmann.

William Lampmann, former member of
Company l., First Nebraska volunteers, has
just returned from Manila He reft the
company April 30 whom they were still
doing some skirmishing. He says that the
company suffers but little sickness, COM
paratively large proportion of the men
being fit for duty, considering the arduous
service they have seen lately. The strength
of the company was about thirty-five or
forty men at the time of his departure, the
absentees being those on duty at the GUS
toms house and those exhausted by the
heat and malarial fevers. Mr.. Lampmann
says the company has always been well
taken care of by Captain, now Major Taylor,
and First Sergeant Herbert Taylor All
that could be done for them in the way of
caring for their health and saving them un-
necessary eXertions has been done by these
officers.
The manner in which the men have been
lighting by alternately rushing forward and
lying down, encountered with all the sup
plies they have to carry, has been very try
ing. Mr.. Lampmann says II is surprising
that there is not more sickness among the
men. They are, however pretty will ac-
climated by this time.
Mr. Lampmann himself looks well. He
came nome by way of Japan, and the
steamer he took across the Pacific coasted
up along Siberia and then across to Alaska,
making long trip and giving him time to
recuperate. He held a position in the Ne
braska National bank at the time he en-
listed He spent yesterday afternoon re-
heWlng acquaintances at the bank

BIG SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION
Party of Forty Scientists Passes Through
Omaha on the Way to Alaska.
TRAVELLING BY UNION PACIFIC SPECIAL
Chartered steamer Awaits Them Mt
seattle-ESpeditioni is Under Aus-
pices of Chairman Hartman
of Union Pacific Directors.

A party Of over forty prominent scientific
men, under the personal charge of E. II.
Hartman, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the board of directors Of the Union
Pacific, passed through Omaha yesterday on
their way to Seattle, where they will take
ship for Alaska They were met at the union
depot by the officials of the Union Pacific
road and taken for an hours ride about the
city in chartered street cars. The mag
nifcently appointed special train bearing the
party pulled out for the west shortly before
6 o'clock.
Mr.. Hartman was unwilling to give out
the names Of the members Of the party, and
the members themselves declined to do so on
account of his wish that they be withheld.
The plan from the beginning has been to
avoid publicity. When the train arrived at
Chicago last night there had been no ad-
vance knowledge of Its coming, save among
the railroad men and it passed practically
unnoticed through the city. Some of the
members of the party, however, were recog-
nized here, some of them being the follow
ing Dr. Dan and Dr. Elliott Of the Smith
sonan Institute, Washington; DR.. Trelease,
director of the Shaw Botanical gardens, St.
Louis; DR.. Brewer of Yale universally; Prof.
John Muir, DR.. Alton Saunders, a graduate
head of the geological division of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington. Mr..
Hartman and the members of his family
will accompany the party the entire way.
President Burt Of the Union Pacific was with
the party from Chicago west and will ac-
company 1t for day or two, possibly to
Seattle.
The members of the party enjoy every ac-
commodation and every luxury that the road
can place at their command, all the gift of
Mr.. Hartman and the company. Their train
consists OF Mr.. Harriman's private car, two
stateroom sleepers, a dining car, library
car and the necessary baggage cars. They
were told by Mr.. Hartman to take every
thing in the way of luggage that they might
have the least desire for and as a result
are carrying an immense quantity of OBJ
servation apparatus, microscopes, recepta-
cles for specimens to be collected and de-
vices for gathering them. At Seattle the
party and its accoutrements will be trans
ferred to a chartered steamer, the passenger
capacity of which is 200 On the steamer
each party wilf have room enough to ac-
commodate, besides himself, his apparatus
and collections. Two steam launches will
be taken along for work in shallow water,
in the mouths of rivers, among islands and
along the coast.
The expedition will leave Seattle May 30,
and will be gone about two months. The
route will take it at least as far north as
Kodiak island and possibly to the Aleutians.
Work will be done in almost every depart
ment OF natural science, specialists in each
being in the party. The standard reference
books that the work will require have been
provided. Each of them bears the stamp,
