Passenger Offices Working Overtime
Getting Ready for Excursions.
The passenger departments Of the Union
Pacific, Elkhorn, Burlington and Missouri
Pacific are busy places these days and the
employees are working day and night getting
out advertising matter and attending to
other details in connection with the excur-
Eions which will be run over these roads
TO the exposition the latter part OF this
month. The local railroad printing offices
have also been badly rushed for the past
few days preparing handsome illustrated
autographs Of the exposition and flaming
hangers announcing the low rates which the
railroads have announced for the days when
the excursion trains will be run. These
have been forwarded to the local agents all
along the lines of the roads in Nebraska.
All Of the passenger men are looking for
ward to a big response on the part of the
people throughout the state to these low
rates and every available passenger coach
Is being prepared for service to accommodate
che crowds. Excursions this early in the
year are rather a new venture and the
success attending them is anxiously awaited
By the railroad men.

As to Fifth Ward workfnrmen.

OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. IS, 1S99.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: In your report of the snap
or trump" meeting of the Fifth Ward Re-
publican club. held last Tuesday evening,
you fail to give an account Of the speech de-
livered by one Benedict, which to our mind
was not only a talk that was indiscreet. but
it was a bold slap at the laboring men of the
ward. We are surprised that a man like w.
A. Saunders, who aspires to the nomination
for county Judge. should not only listen to
such abuse without protest, but actually APP
plaud the harangue. Among other things
Mr.. Benedict said; II am surprised, tickled
and pleased to see such a representative body
of men. citizens. republicans and taxpayers
of the Fifth ward present here tonight. l do
now and always did object to and oppose the
bum element at a club meeting or gathering
of any kind, such as we had here last Friday
~night-rolled up here, brought up here and
their 10 cents paid for them to do their mas
ter's bidding like slaves"
/ was present at the previous meeting and
saw nothing OF the type Of men described as
the bum" element in the hall. / did see a
number OF laboring men who were present
be as fortunate as Mr.. benedict In having
a supply Of laundered shirts and tailor made
suits. they are Just as good republicans and
just as honest and honorable men. In this
country II Is no crime to be poor, nor is 1t
a crime to be a laboring man, nor is 1t a
crime for a laboring man to be q republican.
The republican party makes the welfare OF
the workingmen a sacred consideration. 1t
has always, In promulhatlng its principles
and crystallizlng them into law, jealousy
guarded the interests of labor.
Some men have a natural inclination to
nabobery. They are opposed to anything in
any way associated with manual labor. To
its credit. however. there are only a few OF
such men in the republican party.

CASE OF POLICEMAN INDIA
City Attorney ConneIl, Convinced of
His Innocence, Will Defend
Kim to the End.

City Attorney Conneli. who looked after
the interests of Officer linda before the cor
oner's jury, does not consider the verdict OF
the jury worth very much, because of Its
vagueness. 1t does not state that officer
linda is responsible for the wound that led
to Smiths death, but simply that the wound
was inflicted while the man was in the OH
GERS custody. There was no one about
while Smith was in custody except his fell
low prisoner. Lewis. whose testimony agrees
with that of the officer himself that no
weapon was used by linda. All the testi-
mony introduced pointed to the same facts
and nowhere did it conflict. Had there
been a conflict Of testimony. Mr.. ConneA
holds. there might have been some reason
for the verdict. but as 1t is the jury seems
to have had a general impression that the
officer should be held and therefore recon-
mended further investigation. 1t did not
need the verdict Of the jury, Mr.. CORNELL
says. to insure further investigation.
When the city attorney went into the case
1t was with a view Of ascertaining whether
the officer was ~uujustly accused or not, as
1t is the intention Of the legal department
Of the city to defend police officers In all
cases where they are prosecuted for simply
doing their duty. Unless this is done, Mr..
Cornell says, the city will be unable to get
responsible men to serve on the force. 1t
happens many times that officers are sued
for false arrest when 1t would have been
gross negligence on their part had they not
made the arrest complained of. AS the
hearing before the coroner's jury progressed
the city attorney became firmly convinced
OF the innocence of Officer linda and now in
tends to defend him through to the end.
The theory of the defense will he that the
fatal wound was inflicted prior to the arrest
and was of such a nature as to allow the
wounded man to retain consciousness and
full control Of his mental and physical fac
ulties. The testimony of the medical men
at the coroner's investigation went to show,
so the defense believes, that 1t was by the
slow seepage of blood through the cracked
sphenoid bone and the formation of clots
on the brain that death was caused. The
sudden shock of the blow and the fall was
too much for the system to rally from.
County Attorney George H. Shields filed
a complaint yesterday against linda,
charging him with the murder of James
Smith. linda was arraigned in the police
court. His plea was not guilty and on a
motion BY his attorney for release on bail
Judge Gordon took ythe case under advise
ment until Monday at 8 O'Clock.
Judge Gordon said he needed time to con-
slider whether or not linda ought to be re-
leased on bond and what size bond would
be necessary In case he decided to accept
one.
The Modern Woodmen of America have
taken up the fight in midas behalf and will
take immediate steps to see that he has fair
play. linda is a member of Beech camp of
that order.

CLUE TO SHUKERT BURGLARY
Black Trunk Billed to Sioux City
Monday Believed by Police to
Contain Stolen Furs.

One OF the employees OF the Union depot
baggage room has the instincts OF a shrewd
detective. Last Monday morning a huge,
black trunk attracted the attention Of the
baggagemen and caused considerable specu-
lation as to its contents, The trunk was
unusual because of its size, color and APP
parent durability. There was another oddly
about 1t which passed unnoticed by all but
one OF the men. This was the strong smell
OF camphor evident when handling the
trunk.
After reading in the newspapers OF the
Shukert burglary the man remembered the
trunk and informed the chief of police that
he thought he had a clue to the robbery.
The idea occurred to him that furs are
usually packed in camphor. In the mean
time detectives working on the case hit upon
a clue connected with the same black trunk,
and 1t is believed by the police that II they
can find the owners of the trunk and the
trunk itself the burglars will be captured
and the plumber recovered.

A GREAT ACT.
one of the Many Features of n De-
nchIfnI perfnrmnnce.


Ringing Brothers, whose popular big cir
Gus exhibits in Omaha Monday, September
=, are making a speciality Of trained ami
NAL features this season. There is an ele-
phant brass band, a company Of pachyderms
which have actually been taught to play
music; o remarkably educated bull, a huge
baboon that performs a riding act on a
spirited horse and fights a four-round set-to
with 1t %strainer, a dimlnutive Jap; and
many other novelties in the trained animal
line. Probably the most interesting trained
animal feature, however, is O'Brien's sixty
one horse act. Three characteristics OF
this great act are particularly notable-the
large number of horses, the greatest com
pany OF equines ever trained In this way,
the brilliancy and costly magniicence of
the trappings, and the immense amount OF
paraphernalia used in the production. The
display is given in the middle ring. This
area is especially constructed for the act,
and is carried by the show. Instead of the
usual circle OF earth, there is a wooden
parapet, the top Of which forms a narrow
circular platform enclosing the arena. In
the center of the ring is a succession or
circular stages, rising like terraces one
above the other, and ending in a lofty pc
destal. The director takes his station In
the arena. A signal is given, and a hand
some thoroughbred, with arched neck and
waving pfumes, canters into the ring, This
proud specimen OF horsehopd, the matchless
charger, silver King" Is the avant courier
OF sixty beautiful equines, unrestralned py
rein or bride, which approach with the
wcirl and sweep of a cavalry charge, and
then, suddenly hating in their mad flight,
line up in solid column, awaiting with proud
Impotence the first orders OF their trainer.
The performance that follows staggers even
the evidences of the senses. The edulne
actors, without the slightest hesitation or
prompting, execute the most difficult evoln-
lions, dance, p%iroutte, form colossal tab
leaux, and go through the movements OF a
difficult military march. Then a score or
more of the horses take their places on the
parapet of the ring; others group them
selves upon the circular central stages. AT
the apex Is the shapely "Silver King
Vaulting upon the back OF this beautiful
equine, and raising the superb animal untif
he seems to be poised in the air, the trainer
mods his head. Instantly the great COM
pany of horses is in motion. Some run to
the right, others to the left. but without
leaving the narrow platforms. With their
sleek coats cleaning, with their radiantly
beautiful trappings glittering In the light,
and the waving of their vari-colored prumes,
they are said to form a picture of indie
scribable beauty, lovely In its coloring and
thrilling in its dramatic effect. This finale
never fails to create a sensation. OBrien's
famous sixty-one horse act is only one OF
scores OF features with this great show
which 1t is declared presents the finest ZOO
logicar display, the most complete circus
performance, the most historic hippodrome,
and the finest free street parade ever seen
on earth.

THOUGHT HIM AN ANARCHIST
Lodger with Blasting Outfit in His
Trunk Arrested on Complaint
of His Landlady.

Under the impression that she was har-
boring ar anarchist Mrs. ]. w. Fidler, 1425
North Twentieth street, sent a hurry call
to the police Friday to come to her house
and remove a lodger's trunk full Of dyna-
mite bombs.
Mrs. Fidler explained that George W.
Walthers, who had roomed on an upper floor,
left without paying his rent, and in looking
over his chattels to find something in the
way of security she uncovered the bombs.
The police found in the trunk four sticks
Of dynamite, a box OF caps and a fuse, ma
terials complete and sufficient to blow up
the biggest building in the city. They ac-
cordingly instituted a hunt for Walthers and
found him loaing around a hotel where he
was formerly employed.
When placed under arrest Walthers ex-
planned that he had been working in the
Dakota mines and had kept a blasting outfit
for keepsakes. The police thought the outfit
too dangerous to be carried about by an
inexperienced youth n confscated the com
bustibles.
