The most important event In local musl-
cal circles is the approaching series Of con-
certs by the Ellery Royal Italian band.
which will begin Thursday night Of this
week. l bespeak for the band a generous
patronage and for the auditorium commit
tee a loyal support. The hand is entitled
to an unprejudiced hearing. and II the men
do in Omaha what they have been doing
In other places the people Of Omaha will
be entertained beyond doubt. Mr.. Camp
bell, a emit Of the auditorium commit
tee, told me, unoficially, the other day
that he had recently heard the band and
that he wal Immensely pleased. 1t speaks
well for Omaha that with two or three

cert programs, as is evidenced by the fact
that the business men who represent the

There was little of the sensational or
dramatic in the selection OF any of the on
GERS, and for this reason the citizens out
side Of the orders affected have not appre-
ciated the Importance of the selections as
they will later. The real election OF Colonel
Akin to the office OF imperial potentate took
place several years ago, when he was chosen
assistant rabban Of the order. After that
his promotion followed as a matter Of course
and he came to his own at San Francisco,
when those who had preceded him In tho
lowest elective Office had retired from the
chief ONCE.
The election Of Mr.. Cronk, while not on
the program for years, as was the case with
Colonel Akin, was so well assured for
months before the national meeting that
no campaign was necessary. Mr.. Cronk has
been an Elk for many years and has for
several years been closely identified with
the national organization, having served on
many of the important committees and been
tried among the best men In the order. His
nomination came not only from his own
lodge, but from Kentucky, whose favorite
son died Just before the nomination OF Mr..
Cronk, and against whom Mr.. Cronk had
said he would not run. The impetus given
the candidacy Dy the lodges Of Omaha and
Louisville was such as TO destroy opposition
If any had been intended-and but one
name was presented in the grand lodge.

DISTRICT COURT.

The case of the Territory VS.. DR..
Hildebrand was tried this morning be-
fore the court without jury. The doc
tor chose to represent himself, and
ably conducted the case. The case, as
made by the territory, showed that the
doctor had diagnosed certain ailments
and prescribed his medicine Ia goat
lymph, manufactured in Switzerland.
and beneficial for rheumatism and dia-
betes) for dozen or more residents of
Albuquerque without having complied
with the statutory requirements of the
territory. The evidence showed that
the doctor was n graduate of a Berlin
institution of high repute, and had only
intended finding patients and recon-
mendng his medicines for them
through their regular physicians. But
losing all his money at gaming table
he was sore pressed for money and
sold some of the medicine to the pa
tients direct. The court found the
defendant guilty and assessed the pun
ishment at a fine of 500 and costs,
which sentence would be suspended il
the defendant would get out of the
community, and the doctor heartily
accepted the courts proposal. deciding
to leave cane and crutch to their an.
cient use.
The petit jury for the trial of causes
at the present term of court was EN-
panelled this morning.

Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 29.-The
wholesale robbery of graves in the
cemeteries about indianapolis was
brought to a close early today by the
arrest of a gang of seven negroes.
Warrants also were issued today for
a prominent physician. He is the
demonstration of anatomy of a local
medical college in which two stolen
bodies were found about ten days ago,
an inferno in the college and the white
janitor of the college. Rufus Cantrel,
one of the negroes. made a complete
confession and implicated the others.
He said the physician accompanied the
negroes on several grave robbing ex-
petitions.
The police say the operations of the
gang were on a larger scale than any
gang ever in the state attempted be-
fore Upward of 100 graves, it is said,

the last three months.

Coroner's Inquest.

The coroner's jury held an inquest
over the body this afternoon. After
hearing the testimony Of Mrs. Frank
Durham, the jury went to the scene
of the affair and investigated the case
thoroughly. The husband of the de-
ceased testified and told the same
story as he told it to The Citizen re-
porter. The only doubt in the mind of
the jury was that the bullet might have
entered at the back coming out at the
front, but upon examining the wound
the flesh at the wound in the chest
was powder burned, indicating that
the bullet had entered there. After all
the testimony had been heard the jury
rendered verdict of suicide.
