Haul More People Thursday Than in
History Except Mckinley Day
of First Exposition.

Thursday was the biggest day in the his
tory of the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company except Mckinley
day during the first exposition. 1t is esti-
mated that about 100000 people were han
died in Omaha and to and from Council
Bluffs and South Omaha. Conditions have
been perfect all week.
Merchants of the city have complained
somewhat that the people were not buying
as much heavy wearing apparel as they
might II the weather was cooler and that
more money was spent for amusement and
soft drinks. One of the leading druggists
said he had the banner day of his career
Thursday in soft drinks.
Council BLUFFS sent over its fair quota for
the parades and the big cars on the Bluffs
line had all the business they could han
die. Everything worked just right for the
street railway company The parades were
pulled on on time and the weather was
such that people did not hurry home. after
the parades, but waited for cars instead Of
walking as is sometimes the case when 1t
would be too chilly to wait.
The Northwestern handled forty-five cars
of people from the Union station Thursday
night and thirty-eight from the Webster
street station. Twenty-Five extra coaches
were required by the Northwestern to ham
die the people who left on the road Fri
day.

ALTScHULER is LET OFF
Attorney DIsbarred Escapes Trial
Since He Leaves JurisdictiOn
of Nebraska Courts.

Alexander A. Altschuler, attorney
against whom disbarment proceedings were
recently started by the Douglas County
Bar association, will not be molested In
the future unless he comes back to Ne
braska for the purpose or practicinB law.
c. j. smyth and Howard H. Baldrige, the
committee appointed TO look into the mat
ter. reported to the court Saturday morn
ing that Mr. Altschuler had removed TO
New Jersey, and therefore 1t was doubtful
II the Douglas county court had jurisdic-
ton in the matter and it was doubtful II
he could be brought within the jurisdiction
of the court. AS there was no authority
10 show that a personal service secured in
New Jersey would be sufficient to bring
him into the jurisdiction of the court here.
and, as the attorneys held that the power
to dlsbar vas limited to the power to
admit. that the matter would better be
held in allegiance no further action will
be taken at this time In accordance with
this report the court issued its order.

sobbing until her little heart nearly broke
Rose Comstock Of South Omaha was picked
up on Cunning street Friday evening by a
kindly stranger who learned the girl was
lost The police station was notified and
the girl placed In the custody OF Matron
Gibbons.
Miss Comstock is II years Of age and told
the police she had been living with her
father on Thirtieth street, South Omaha.
The father was notified. Rose Comstock
said she left home Friday evening because
she and her step-mother and half-sisters
and brothers could not get along. She
maintains the step-mother whipped her
without just cause, so she took the only
money she had-5 cents-and got on an
Omaha street car with some vague idea Of
reaching an aunt at Bradshaw. Neb.
when II began to grow dark and
found myself still riding on the car 1 be-
came frightened and thought / had better
get of and walk, which l did. / walked up
and down the street and held tightly to my
dollies Soon the street lights appeared and
became more lonely. Then 1 passed a
house and heard a woman singing an old
song my dead mamma sang TO me when
she would take me on her knee and call
me her dear little Rosie I stopped and
listened to the song and then walked away
and cried. Some man stopped me and took
me into a doctors Office and then 1 was
brought down here to the police station"
said the little girl.
The girls father has promised her she
will be sent to Aunt Laurie" at Bradshaw
The girl has an unusually sweet face and

BAD NIGHT FOR GOODNIGHT
EARLY in the Evening Man is Held
Up by Two Foot
Pads.

Meath the shadow or the pines" or
whatever kind Of shade tree cast a heavy
pail over the sidewalk at Twenty-second
and Dodge streets at 6:45 p. m. Friday,
A. L. Goodnight of lis South Twenty-fourth
street was requested by two masked
strangers to stop placing one foot in front
OF the other and to come to a complete
standstlll. While the strangers had no
legal right to impede the progress OF law
abiding citizen, yet Mr.. Goodnight says he
thought It incumbent on himself to accede
TO the demand made. The strangers had
two large revolvers which were held in
such positions that should they have been
discharged, the bullets would have been
stopped by Mr.. Goodnight. Not being in a
receptive mood for leaden missiles at that
moment, Mr.. Goodnight just told the out
laws' to get busy as his supper was getting
cold at home.
One OF the men rudely placed his fingers
in Goodnight's pockets and took 70 cents,
which was all the citizen had with him.
After calling their victim a cheap skate
and bidding him goodnight, the strangers
disappeared.
Tie matter has been reported to the
police department.

COUNTY TRUANT OFFICER
Request Made on Commissioners and See
Ondsd BY Superintendent BOdwell.
LATTER SAYS He NEEDS AN ASSISTANT
Has Too much work Himself 20 De-
vote Time 10 that Failing
Under Truant Omcer's
Control.

The Douglas County School Board as
ISOLATION wants the county commissioners
to furnish It a truant officer at the expense
Of the county. While the board is pom
dering over this proposition 1t also will con-
slider letter from John Steel who wants
TO know IL the county commissioners own
the sidewalk i'm front of the court house
or IL it is owned by the city or county and
by what authority the commissioners
granted permission to a private individual
to construct q number of seats over the
walk for the benefit of a few people who
desired to watch tho parade.
These were two of the matters that
came before the hoard Saturday morning.
o. ]. Pickard presented the request for the
truant officer. He told the board that
under the present school laws the county
superintendent was the truant officer for
the entire county and that outside of
Omaha and South Omaha there was no
other. The county superintendent, he said
was too busy to attend to the work and
therefore he needed an assistant.
How Old Law worked.
Under the old law he said the directors
were empowered to enforce the truancy law
and that unless they did complaints could
be filed against them. Because of this pro-
vision last year many or the districts PAID
a certain amount of money and employed
a man to enforce the law, giving him SIS a
month. This year the various districts will
not do this because the directors are not
responsible. Consequently he wants the
board to pay the SIS month. County su-
perintendent Bodwell vouched for what Mr..
Pickard said and urged the boards favor
able action. The matter will go over for
one week until the next meeting.
County Attorney Slabaugh filed an opin-
ion in the matter of the overcharge made
by the World-Herald for advertising legal
notices, in which he said he had been in
formed that The Bee intended at once to
appeal to the supreme court from the de-
cison of Judge Redick. in which the latter
failed to allow the full bill, and that until
this case was decided by the court he
thought nothing should be done.
1t was announced that the ice house at
the county hospital was in need of repairs
before another crop of ice was harvested
and the committee was instructed to get
busy on it.

Gentleman from bate is Looked for
in Omaha Next Monday
Evening.

Chief OF Police Donahue has not received
any advice from Captain Dunn in regard
10 leaving Butte for Omaha with Pat
Grove. IL is believed. however. there will
be no hitch In carrying out the program OF
leaving Saturday evening and reaching
Omaha Monday evening.
Inasmuch as Chief Donahue has not re-
eelved any news that Grove intends 10
tight the case at Butte the chief is inclined
10 think Grove will be here on scheduled
time.
Mr.. Grove most likely win be assigned
cell No. at the city Jail on his arrival.
The police department here entertains no
missivings regarding the safety OF Grove
while AZ the city Jail. as no prisoner has
yet made his escape from the city Jail al
Eleventh and Dodge streets.

steers Wis Special Engine Down
20 Lincoln TO Eat Lunch,
EnrOute to Kansas
City.

Mr.. James j. Hin came very near steer
ing into Omaha Saturday morning before
he knew IT, In coming in from the north
west over his Burlington railroad en- route
to Kansas City, It is reported that one
wheel OF the locomotive drawing his special
train had actually started in the direction
OF Nebraska's metropolis before Mr. Hill
could find time to give orders to the
engineer. AS soon as the Minnesota mag
nate recovered himself, the disaster was
averted and the train shot on toward
Lincoln, where the party intended disem-
barking and to get something to eat. Mr..
Hill already had wired for his mail to be
forwarded TO Lincoln, so that 1t would not
be necessary for him to come to Omaha.
Fortunately this latter fact had reached
the attention of Omaha business men, 80
that they did not go to the extent Of max
ing any great preparations for Mr.. HIS
entertainment, as an evidence Of their
gratitude and appreciation for the magnani-
nous spirit of friendship. he displayed to-
ward Omaha and its commercial welfare
in projecting his Ashland cutoff The in
formation that Mr.. Hill had not yet learned
Of JOmahas exact position on the map
indeed, reached the Commercial club in
ample time to enable the executive com
mittee to forego the trouble of sending
delegation to the depot to receive the
distinguished party.
Hartman Men Go west.
An oficial train bearing many OF the
officers OF the Union Pacific left Omaha
early Saturday morning for Salt Lake,
where the annual meeting of the stock
