Suspect in Robbery case.

One suspect has been arrested BY the
South Omaha police in connection with the
robbery Of Sol 8. Goldstrom's saloon. 1t is
thought doubtful. however, whether a case
can be made against him. All the evidence
will probably be circumstantial in any case,
unless the suspect should confess. The
chief put the man through a severe course
OF sweating. but announced at the close
that there was little TO make a case.

PreparinE for ReEistrstIon.

The city clerk has taken the first steps
in the sutumnsl registrations. The regis
~trstions taken last fall will be used at the
approaching primaries. Following this the
new registration will be taken on the APP
pointed days previous TO the November
election.
Tit clerk received the new registration
books yesterday. They will be ready for
the supervisors OF registration. three from
each precinct. as soon as their appointment
is announced and confirmed. These SUPER
visors will be appointed, in all probability
at the meeting of the city council Monday
night
The city clerk, in regard 10 new voters
and transferred voters, has expressed the
opinion that for primary day these revisions
should be by the old board Of registration
and not by certificate Of the clerk, as was
done last year. The city attorney has been
asked for an opinion on this point.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Live Stock Receipts Unusually Heavy
During Past Week.
PACKING HOUSES SHORT OF MEN
Expect 60 Rua Fun Time This week
and HaadIe All the stock OEered
~ More Liberal with
orders

The receipt Of 2.575 cattle. N1oo hogs
and g.7s2 sheep during the week has kept
the South Omeha packers working over
time. There were nearly one-third more
cattle than last week and SO) head more
than the same week last year. BY keep
ing busy the packers used most Of he big
receipts. The men got in full time every
day except Monday morning. Next week
the expectation is to run to full capacity.
which has not been done on the beef killing
beds Of the packers for nearly ten months.
The Omaha Packing company Mould lave
killed more cattle last week u It had been
possible to hire workmen. The tables have
turned and not enough men are to be had
at the packing houses. This condition Is
partly due to the fact that the Nebraska.
Iowa and Dakota harvests are so big that
many men are out earning good wages
along with the good air Of the country.
When the grain is harvested then the big
hay crop and the sugar beets will keep the
men out nearly until frost. Corn husking
will follow. When the snow flies then the
oldtime packing house men who have been
out during a rather dull packing season
will be back in numbers In the mean
time the packers and other employers Of
labor will probably have to run a part OF
the time short handed. ss they did last
week. The South Omaha yards on any
Of the fine mornings last week presented
the oldtime scenes Of shifts. A season OF
unprecedented prosperity and activity Is
on all sides. The packers are
killing well and their eastern orders have
begun to roll in again. This will greatly
increase with the resumption OF manutac-
ture, which is daily announced.
Swift. and Company during the last week
began to wish for the coDveniences Of the
new and yet uncompleted section Of the
beef house.

TEACHES LADS TO STEAL
Rob Sidewalk Displays and Snatch
Purses From Women Shoppers.

Benjamin and Felix Crock, aged re-
spectively and IL years, arrested
while picking pockets in a downtown
crowd, recently confessed they had
robbed a number of persons TO obey
an Italian who trains boys to steal.
The youthful prisoners told their cap
tors the modern Fagin" has junk
shop in the ghetto of the west side,
where he instructs pupils how to pick
pockets, rob sidewalk Displays and
snatch purses from women. The boys
said they had stolen daily from crowds
in front of State street store where
cub lions are displayed in window.
While women shoppers watched the
cubs the boys slipped through the
crowds and stole purses from muffs
and coat pockets. After spending part
of their booty visiting nickel theaters
and buying candy and soda water
the boys carried the money to the
"Fagin," who rewarded them with beds
and meals. The man was warned by
confederate and fled before the pc
lice arrived at his place.

Kills Self.

Spokane, Feb. 24.-"This ends every
thing between us" were the words
uttered by Mark McClammy preceding

PHILADELPHIA POLICE STOP
WILD DEMONSTRATIONS.
Causes Much III-FeeIing Among For
eigners-Anarchism is Bottom of 1t
aIl-Union Labor Men Are Opposed
to Parades of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Little Benefit Would Result.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24-The action
of the police in preventing the meet
ing of a number of societies and or
CARNATIONS in the foreign settlement
in the southern section of the city
has aroused much i'll feeling among
the foreigners. The action followed
an order by Director of Public Works
Clark in which the police were direct
ed to stop the anarchists from holding
any meetings. The order was given
in consequence of the riot that fol
lowed the parade of unemployed for
eigners here last week.
The meeting of a Jewish beneficiary
society was stopped, as was also one
that was to have been addressed by a
well known lawyer, who was to have
talked on "Anarchism." Despite the
police vigilance the professed anar-
chists did hold a meeting in hall
at which time they decided to retain
lawyer and prepare to advertise and
hold big meeting so that they car
test the law and see whether they
have the right of free speech"
The Central Labor union placed it
self on record as opposed to the
parades "of unemployed" by refusing
to attend labor meeting in the north
ern section of the city unless given as
surances that there would be ne
parade.
I'VE want to keep out of such dem
onstrations. They won't get anyone
work and they lead to trouble" is the
way one of the delegates EXPRESSED it

RtVULl NPORTUGAL
GOVERNMENT SPIES REPORT
UPRISING is LIKELY.
Small Outbreaks Have Already Oc-
Cured in the Provinces-Great Mill
tary Plans Are Made to Crush Any
Attempted Uprising - Governme mt
sees a Crisis in Political Situation.

Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 24.-This city
resembles AN armed camp. Soldiers
occupy all the public buildings, strong
patrols guard the streets, reserve
forces are held in readiness, though
concealed from the public view, at
nearly all public squares, while in
the barracks the entire garrison is
under arms. In all the larger cities
of the country similar preparations to
meet outbreaks have been made.
For several days there have been
rumors that the revolutionary out
breaks planned to organize at the time
of the late King Carlos assassination
have been arranged for.
In the few weeks King Manual has
welded the scepter the revolutionary
agitators have been active. The ban.
ishment of former Premier Franco ap
peased them for a short while, but
the demands made by the revolution
aries could not be granted by the gov
eminent, even under Manuels prom
ises of reforms, and the revolutionary
lpIOpdSduud was resumed.
Government spies have reported in
the last few days that plans were be
ing laid to start uprisings in severa
parts of the country simultaneously.
Outbreaks have already occurred il
the provinces. Few details have
reached here, but it is known peopl,
are in an extremely dangerous mood
Just how critical the situation is con
sidered is shown by the sending of ;
gunboat to Setubal Oporto is an
other dangerous point where demon
strations against the government ar,
to be expected at any time
In case of a real conflict, Just how
strong the government would prove i
problematical.
Doubt Loyalty of Army.
Even the loyalty of the army is t.
be doubted. The soldiers have no
been overlooked by the revolutionar
agitators, and the ranks are hone,
combed with dissatisfaction. A dc
cisive victory for the revolutionarie
would probably be followed by Who'll,
sale assertions to the popular cause.
The danger is well appreciated b
the kings advisers, and this is tn
cause of the military preparations t
crush any attempted uprising in il
incipiency.
The duke of Oporto, accompanied b
strong guard, makes frequent il
spections of the various garriso
: posts. All the public buildings. il
Guiding the Bank of Portugal, are o.
cupied by heavy detachments of tn
municipal guard. The commerce
Lisbon reflects the secret uneasines
of the people.
The political situation in which Ii
government finds itself today is e
tremely critical. and there is much u
2 easiness as to the outcome. The go
eminent is fairly caught between tw
fires, the renewal of the popular as
j tation for increased liberties on IL
one hand and the reactionary conspi
acy on the other, and it seems to |
