Tucson Star: At a late hour Sun day evening some one who had ac- qulred a knowledge to the combin- ation lock to the box of the Consol- dated National Bank at the post office, opened the receptacle and took out the entire contents includ- ing the paper mail. The fact was kept secret since the circumstance became known, and only yesterday it connected whereby its publicity was assured. The bank is in daily receipt of checks, and there is no telling at this writing what the loss in actual cash amounts to. Ad- vices have been wired and detectives have been put on the scent. The robber or robbers is on to his occu- patton, as no opportunity has been offered to lead to detection. The occurrence is an unusual one, and some difficulty will arise in arriv- ing at the extent of the loss. A strict account will be kept, so that in the course of time a definite knowledge of the letter mail will be ascertained.

CARNIVAL CROWD INCREASES
Sunday Trains Bring Many visitors
from Nebraska and Iowa
Towns.

King Ak-Sar-Ben will open his eyes upon
vaster throngs this morning than passed
before his royal vision Saturday, when dense
to witness the many wonderful sights
within. Men at the three Omaha depots
who are handling the crowds predict an I'M
usually large tide Of immigration this morn
ing and throughout the day.
The Sabbath day did not usher into the
city exceptionally large numbers although
several hundred people filed through the
depot gates. The most came from the
west, from Nebraska towns, and some ar
rived from the eastern towns Of Iowa, from
which section goodly numbers are expected
later.
Aside from the new arrivals hundreds Of
visitors who came in last week helped to
| fill up the space at the depots yesterday.
They were there to meet and greet their
| friends and relations h were either
coming or expected and when they really
did get in all the passageways suddenly
choked up, for everybody had to say
"howdy' TO everybody else and shake each
others hands. These were typical county
fair crowds and they constituted genuine
reception committees who had gone to the
stations to see the others in"
OF course some OF the excursionists who
had come In last week had to get back and
so there was a small exodus yesterday, but
not enough to hurt or be noticeable when
the summing up is over this morning. Con-
ditions are certainly bright for a big, lively,
strenuous crowd of people today.

parts Of this state.
Upon the arrival Of the South Omaha
lodges in this city about 2 o'clock they
Joined the Omaha lodges at Thirteenth and
William street and from there marched in
professional order to the new Bohemian
Turner hall on Thirteenth near Dorcas,
where the exercises were held. The vari-

1000 men, the South Omaha delegation
numbering about 300. r. Havlka ofhciated
as marshal Of the procession.
At the Turner hall Charles Stiger, presi-
dent OF the society," made an address Of
welcome in the Bohemian language TO the
visiting societies and members from out
side, after which he introduced aS the ora
tor of the day, William Sadilek, now Of
Wilbur, Neb., but formerly a resident of
Omaha and one Of the founders Of the So
ciety. Mr.. Sadilek. who also spoke IN
Bohemian, reviewed the history Of the
society from the time Of it's organization
with a membership Of ten to the present
time.
Judge Berka spoke in English. covering
about the same ground as Mr.. sadilek. and
John Rosicky, who is the only one OF the
present members Of the society who par
ticipated in its organization, spoke OF some
of the vicissitudes through which II has
passed in it quarter century OF existence.
Music was furnished by an orchestra under
the leadership of AloIs Korysko and the
singing society OF the Tel Jed Sokol sang

things" he said. but each Il q Supplement
to the other.
Spiritual forces" said Or. Conley,
must have agencies for moral upbuilding.
OF these forces the three most important
are the home, the school and the church.
Upon the purity Of the home depends the
purity Of the government. The decline Of
home life means the degradation Of the
national life. Woman determines the char
acter Of the home life"
In our public schools, Rev. Conley said,
a majority Of the teachers are women and
the schools are closely watched by the
mothers Of the country. He deplored the
fact that politics and favoritism entered
into the selection OF instructors and urged
that women rectify the evil. "All perma-
nent progress depends on moral charac-
ter" said he. and the great progress and
the great success OF our country is largely
due to the influence Of it's women."

DIRECT LEGISLATION MOVES
Progress Being Made Elsewhere Is
Recommended to Nebraska
Republicans.

OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 2s.-To the Editor
Of the Bee: VIII you kindly allow me to
suggest a thought for your consideration?
Direct legislation is coming, not only for
city governments, but for state as we'll.
Four states have already declared for It,
and four others are soon to adopt it. The
campaign In Nebraska will in my judgment
be determined by the party that makes
the most earnest fight for the peoples
government.
Three Of the four states tina have Sc
cured that right have had the hearty CO.
operation Of the republican party. Three
Of the four states about to adopt direct
legislation will do 1t by consent OF the
republican legislatures. The republicans
cannot afford to be behind in this state.
Evidently the bankers are preparing the
country for another panic. 1t is a fearful
responsibility and one-in the present tenn
per Of the people-that is very liable to
e%ndanger the peace Of the country The
men-and the press-that are found in the
front rank battling for the people will in

CONTAMINATED MILK CAUSES TROUBLE

Four members Of the family OF E. A.
Cuthbertson, including Mr.. Cuthbertson,
Mrs. Cuthbertson, his wife; Margaret
Cuthbertson, his daughter, and Mrs. Isa-
bella Cuthbertson, his mother, were taken
suddenly and violently i'll shortly after
breakfast yesterday morning, with symp-
toms Of poisoning, and for several hours
their condition was critical. Late yester-
day afternoon DR.. ]. s. Goetz, the attend
ing physician. pronounced mis- patients out
of danger. DR.. Goetz said the members Of
the family were suffering from ptomalne
poisoning.
A bottle of milk from which each of the
sick persons had drank was taken by the
police and will be chemically analysed to-
day. The milk was purchased Sunday
morning from a grocery store in the vicln-
ity of the home of the Cuthbertsons Mrs.
E. A. Cuthbertson drank a portion Of the
milk in some whiskey for her breakfast
and ate nothing. From this It is believed
that the milk was the cause of the illness.
The family ate breakfast about 9 o'clock,
after which Mrs. Isabella Cuthbertson left
the house to visit friends in the neighbor-
hood. She had gone only a short distance
when she was suddenly taken violently i'll.
She FASTENED home and found the members
of the family working over Mr.. Cuthbert-
son, who was suffering with severe pains
in the stomach. DR.. Goetz was at once
called, but before he arrived the other two
members Of the family were also taken
sick, and all were suffering violent pains.
DR.. Goetz worked over them for many
hours and 1t was late in the afternoon
before he stated they were out Of danger.
Mr.. Cuthbertson was the most violently
attacked and was the last to come from
under the influence Of the poison. He is
still a very sick man, though 1t is thought
he is in no danger.
The police were informed that some one
had poisoned the food of the family with
the intention OF numbering them. De-
tectives Drummy and Mitchell investigated
and are Of the opinion the sickness was
caused by the milk. What the milk con-
tains is not known, and will not be until
today, when it will be analysed.
The Cuthbertson family resides at 1905
Chicago street. Mr.. Cuthbertson is a tele-
graph operator.

At the First Presbyterian church Sunday

preached on the subject Of old Faith and
New Lights" taking his text from the
words OF Solomon, There is no new thing
under the sum The speaker said in part:
"Tf there Is anything we boast Of today
II Is our progress; we glorify the thing

who surveyed the FIRST railroad from the
Missouri valley to the Pacific ocean fol-

the command to preach and has nothing to
do with the invention of the steamboat and
the locomotive? New terms have come to
our lips and for a time have concealed the

that unless they accept our civilization

WOMEN AND MODERN PROGRESS,
Or. Conley's Sermon Subject at First
Baptist Church.

Or. COnley's Sermon Subject at First
Baptist Church.
Sunday was woman's day at the First
Baptist CHURCH and a congregation that
nlled every seat in the house was present
to hear Rev. J. w. Conley talk of Women
and Modern Progress" For the occasion
the church was decorated with cut flowers.
In the course Of his sermon, which had
for its text the parable OF the leaven, Dr..
Conley spoke Of the hardships being en-
dured by the wives and daughters OF the
striking miners Of Pennsylvania and OF the
miserable homes in which they dwelt. IL
believe the American people are able TO
pay enough for coal to furnish these min
ers with houses in which to live, and 10
stop their wives and daughters from living
In drudgery," he said, and I believe the
great mass OF the American people sym
pathize with these miners and are with
them in their strike"
DR.. Conley began his discourse by an
nouncing that he had no sympathy with
those speakers who poured out hattery 10
women, and denounced this practice as a
thin veneering to cover the conceit OF man.

At ths creiRhton-orpheum.

Manager Reiter presents for carnival
week a bill OF vaudeville which is all new
to Omaha, for none Of the people on the
bill has ever appeared in this city before.
There are several particularly bright spots
on the program, the most luminous being
that made by George w. Day, who Gin
cork" does a turn which entities his name
to the largest type on the three-sheet,
which. by the way, he doesn't get perhaps
because his name doesn't happen to be
Lew Dockstader. Day carries with him
nothing but new jokes and tosses them
of to the audience IN the best OF style
and his songs, too, are worth the hearing
to any man with a laugh in i'm. Another
act on the program that appeals to the
passe individual who is yearning for some
thing TO amuse him Is that OF Victor Moore
and Julia Blanc. These clever people are
fortunate in having a sketch that is ORR
ginal and full OF pure fun.
Leon puts on an Illusion act that puzzles
and amuses the audience, Irene Franklin
sings several ballads in good voice, and the
other act worthy Of mention Is the ORA
matte comedy" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
presented by Matte Keene and company.
Miss Keene is an actress OF ability, but
she is wasting her time and talent on the
Wilcox production, which is not even funny
in it's puerility. The program pleads that
this is Mrs. WilcoX's FIRST onense as a
dramatist, and as II is not likely that she
will be called upon TO do II again, perhaps
II is better to drop the case without further
comment.
