Reception at Omaha.


Reception at Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 26.-The four trains
bearing the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment
passed through this city this evening. It
was first expected they would arrive at
{ a. m. and spend the day in the city.
Later it was announced that the trains
would not reach Omaha until 1 p. M, and
at Il o'clock the railroad company an
nounced that they would not arrive until
6, and that they would pull right on
through for the East The elaborate
arrangements for entertaining the SOL
dters were necessarily abandoned, but the
immense crowd waited patiently around
the depot, to at least give the soldiers
cheer as they passed through. 1t was
few minutes of o'clock when the whis-
ties of the South Omaha packing houses
announced the first section of the train
was in sight of the depot The whistles
on factories and shops in Omaha took it
up. and thousands more fCcked to the
depot.
The big viaduct which spans the tracks
on the streets close to the depot, and the
wide platforms of both the Union Pacific
and Burlington depots, were packed solid
with cheering humanity as the train pull
ed in.
The reception committee and ladies' Or
Ganization put in the few minutes of the
stay in giving the soldiers lunch, bunch
of flowers and a badge. The crowd out
side cheered and the soldiers inside took
up the refrain. There was a wild time
while it lasted and the Pennsylvania boys
realized that they had missed a warm
time through the delay of the train. The
same programme was carried through as
each of the successive trains passed
through

MR.. BREWSTER'S TROUBLE.
Arrested in Chicago for Promoting
a PhOtOgraphers' Trust.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The proposed trust
for photograph engraving firms in Illinois
is to die in it's inCipiency If the united
efforts of less prominent establishments
in that line of business prove as potent
as is hoped. The first step in this dfrec-
ton was taken today in the arrest of
the combine promoter, w B. Brewster
an attorney, of St. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Brewster had made several trips
to Chicago to confer with members of
some of the strongest firms in the city
and Thursday he presided at meeting
of those interested in the new move
ment. 1t was then decided by foes of the
trust that the time for definite action had
come.
A warrant was procured and Mr. Brew
ster was arrested, being charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses
and conspiracy ito do an Illegal act, in
furious to public trust, namely, agreeing
TO fix and regulate prices on haIf-tone
plates and process etchings on zinc
In the warrant were named as those
who had acted with him, Oscar E. Bin
mock, John Behrens, John A. Barnes,
George b. Benedict, Frederick D. Mont
gomery and Alfred Bersbach, all we'll
known photograph engravers in Chicago,
There are twenty-one photograph en-
gravers and Photographic engraving firms
in Chicago. and thirteen of them, it is
said, have signed an agreement to not
go into the trust. These, it is claimed
by the prosecutors of Mr.. Brewster the
combination he is trying to form will
drive out of business.
w. B. Brewster lives at 50 Smelling av-
enue, when at home, and has an office
in the New York Life. He has figured
prominently in times past in the coun-
ellis of the Lincoln Republican club.

PUBLIC BATH PLANS
DISCOVERY MADE THAT 900
WAS APPROPRIATED FOR THEM
IN JULY, 1898
FOR BETHEL ASSOCIATION

were to BE Kept Up for Ten Years.
put Were Continued Only about
TWO Seasons - Contract Stiu on
File in the Office of the COmptroI-
1er-DF. Ohage Says He VIII Not
Ask the City for Money.
Inc ordnance recently passed by the
council and approved by the mayor. pro-
Wdlng for the erection and conducting Of
Tree public baths on the river, brings
to the recollection of the city officials
the fact that $4,000 was appropriated In
July, 1888, from the city treasury to aid
a free public bath scheme.
The money was paid to the Bethel assoc
citation, which, under the contract made
between the city and the officers of the
association, was to conduct free public
baths for period of ten years as COM
pensatfon for the $1,000 paid to it. For
Bethel boat were the subject of much.
attention. The scheme was heraFced as.
one OF great benefit to the Door of the
city ana the many advantages of an in
stitUtion Of the kind were alluded to.
The baths started off with at least hnan-
cIal success. Ihere were not so many
free baths as had been anticipated. the
management charging for SOAP towels
and other things, which brought the
price Of the baths up to 10 cents. For a
couple of years, or for two summers.
the baths were we'll patronized, but for
the past three years no attention has
been paid to this branch of the BethePs
many enterprises. and as the patronage
dropped off the scheme has been prac-
tically abandoned.
The contract. however, is still on file
in the Office of the city comptroller and
now that the question of providing for
the new bath house is to be brought be-
fore the council, with a request that
some amount be placed in the tax budget
for next year, the councilmen have been
in to read the agreement over.
Some Of the persons interested In the
new bath house scheme are suggesting
that as the Bethel association received
5000 for conducting a public bath house
for ten years, and only operated the
same for half that period, about half of
the amount appropriated by the city
should be turned back into the treasury
and given toward the erection of the
public aths on the river.
DR.. Ohage, who has taken great inter-
est in the new bath house scheme, how
ever, says that he will not ask the city
for one cent toward the erection of the
bath houses. The money will be fur
nfshed. he says, by subscription, and he
feels satisfied that the $1,000 necessary
can and will be raised before next spring.
The receipts from the baths, which will
be opened to the public next June, will
be turned into the city treasury, after the
salaries of the attendants are paid. There
will be a charge of two cents for soap
and towels. but those who prefer to
hiring these articles will not have to pay
anything.
