Court Room Filled.

The court room was we'll filled with
spectators who had gathered to wit
ness the doings of the court. An i'm
patience was even manifest when the
grand jury returned an additional
seven indictments. These were against
the bawdy housekeepers. Ordinarily
the reporting of the grand jury itself
is an event to be noted in district
court but today the expected judgment
on the gamblers overshadowed even
this.
Each of the gamblers cases was
taken up in turn by the court and
separately passed upon. The court
had a list of the names which he had
prepared during the noon recess. lie

HE'S THE FIRST TO BE LET OUT

Although Measured by His Real Value
as a Worker He May Be Best Man
In Houee, His U~npopuIarity Loses
Him His job.
"The fellows enough to turn milk
our He may be a good man, but
wouldn't have him around"
The cbove was delivered by a bust

IF an sc~uaiHtance. He had just re-

was bis prompt judgment, forcibly ex-
presse' to his own partner, writes II.
g. Cutler in the Chicago Tribune.
1t happened that | knew the fellow
who IVES tho victim of the crouch habit
and could sympathize with him. He
was en- unduly sensitive man, even to
the point Of painful self-consciousness
Remsrks and actions cut him to the
quick which would glance off unnotic-
ed from the man with the thicker hide.
Outside ct aI business considerations
he had also had much trouble; had
heavy family responsibilities which
weighed down mis- naturally elastic
spirits. He brought his he~aviness
with him to the Office; could not throw
It of; had no response for the joke of
a fellow clerk; could not even drag
himself out OF his gloom to be pleasant
to his employer, sven though he saw
that II was to his advantage to do so.
Not knowing anything of his private
life or his disposition, his associates
at once put him down as a Crouch"
Those who worked by his side com
menced to let him alone, thinking that
he was offended at them. Each in turn
became Convinced that for no earthly
reason he has 1t in for me-" and was
barely civil TO him. AS he felt himself
gradually sGut out from good compan-
ionship, the fellow who was enough
TO turn milk sour" and who really had
nothing whatever against any one in
the office, commenced to feel himself
unjustly treated, ~dogeedly chung to his
work and spoke to no one unless it alb
solutoly was necessary TO the further
ance Of his tack. Day by day the sit
uation became more and more embar-
RAISING for every one, and all on ac-
count of the n man who had brought
his Crouch into the Office.
The boss himself saw it, and one of
his valued customers, who had been to
the victim of the crouch on some mat
ter connected with his department and
had received precise information, it is
true, but unmeliowed by a smile or an
eye twinkle, buttonholed said employ
er and said: Tom, what sort of a
fellow is. that you've got aut there,
anyway? He's always like a thunder
cloud"
When work happens to be slack
Jones is the first to be let out, although
measured by his real value as a work
er there is no better man in the house.
And when, at some future day, there is
q vacancy in that hose does the boss
or anybody in the Office ever think of
Offering it to poor Jones? Never. One
such season of prevailing gloom, sour
ness n general discomfort is enough
for a business lifetime.

ANCIENT INDIAN ORDER.
Strange ReiiTious Rites Observed by
Remnant Of New England Tribe.

Strange Rel riovs Rites Observed by
Remnant Of New England Tribe.
Up In the northeast corner Of the
state there is a small band Of Seneca
Indians on a reservation of the same
name, sars the Muskogee correspond
ent of the Kansas City Times. This
is a renn Mt of a nation of Indians
that can b. traced from the original
New England States, as they were
for ed west and south by the en-
c~roGchment of the whites and the bat
tie arm OF stronger Indian bands that
were constantly warning against them.
Among this little band of Indians,
probably no moro than 100 all told,
there are some curious heather rites
that seem to be instructive with the
tribe.
Among then there is an old order
known as Tie Wood Face" Those
who belCng to the order can call in
the Wood Fees" in case of sickness,
as is often done. They go through a
performance that is calculated to drive
out from the sick person the evil
spirit that may be lowering around
the bed These faces are masks made
out of wood, usually carved to repre-
sent a human form of some Character,
but sometimes made to represent the
head of some animal. They are paint
ed red and black, with large silver
eyes and a horse tail for hair.
Arrayed in one of these hideous
masks. together with rattles made OF
turtle shells fastened together at the
outer edges with small stones inside
and tied to the legs of the Wood
Faces as they dance. roll and kick,
singing their incantations the while,
the Indiens present a scene calculated
to drive away any evil spirit that
might happen along and incidentally
drive the life out of the patient.
II appears that this organization
has been in the tribe for many gener-
atoms. the modes of procedure differ
ing sometimes, but following the same
general character. It's secret signs
and symbols are guarded as closely
as Masonry and its fraternal features
are as binding. It's spiritual benefits
are believed in implicitly.

EVERYTHING PAID BY CHECK.

81 like the American custom of car
rying money loose IN the pocket" said
d. H. Lieban, a retired banker of Lon
don. In England gentlemen and
business men carry very little money
with them. Nearly everything is paid
for by check, except, of course, money
enough TO pay the small incidental ex-
penses CT a day,
IF a man goes into a store to buy a
hat he does not pay money for 1t, but
gives a check. If he is dining at a
public pace he very likely pays for
his meal with q check. The system of
credit in England is different from
that of this country. and the mere
fact that a man has an account In a
bank serves to give him standing.
"One cannot open an account with
a bank in England merely by carrying
money 4 the bank and depositing it.
He must have two first-class refer
ences before a bank will accept his
account, and when reference is given
1t means that the person giving 1t
WOulu AhuOiSC vi Stdnu Ioi TIC pCloOu
to whom 1t is given.
"a re 'erence in Englan1 means
more than a mere phrase. Checks on
banks in England cannot be obtained
for the mere asking, and a man must
have an count in order to get checks
from any bank. They cannot be pick
ed up on bank counters or in public
places.
a"Privnte accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless they are paid
for, the general charge being $50 a
year. There are n or two bSnks IN
Englar 1 which discriminate so care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when a person is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open IN account with
them he can get credit In n city In
England or the Continent Of Europe"

PARK BOARD ON WATER BILLS
VIII Refer Them to Water Board,
Says Cornish, Who Thinks COun-
ell MIsunderstOOd.

Bel ewing that the city council and the
city attorney misunderstood the motive OF
the Park board in referring the bills of the
omaha Water company to them the park
commissioner will send the bills to the
Omaha Water board for perusal before
paying them as instructed by the council
on the advice of the city attorney.
From the nature of the action Of the
council / believe II Misunderstood the mo-
tive of referring the bills to it for consld-
e~ration," says F.. J. Cornish Of the Park
board. w did not ask the council If the
Park board should pay the bills out Of its
funds, but what we wanted TO know was
whether we should pay them at all or not.
OF course, II the bills are to be paid they
will be paid by the Park board and out
Of the park funds. The council, however,
notified us to pay the bills out Of our funds
and while the city attorney says that the
bills, in his opinion, are legitimate, the fact
Of the litigation at present pending is lost
sight of.
I'VE do not wish 10 get into any trouble
or lawsuit. We have always been on
friendly terms with the Omaha Water COM
pany and hope to ontlnue so. But we re-
ferrsd these bills to the council and pur-
pose referring them now TO the Water
board for the reason that we do not wish
to jeopardize the city in any way In any
action which we might take"
Tn water company presented bills to the
Park commissioner a month ago for water
furnished since January l. 1856, TO River

and the parking on Capitol avenue. The
bills aggregate $500. Along with the bills

OF the accounts he does not believe the
company will turn off the water until a

MEN RUSH TO SEE THAT GOWN
Yes They Do! What About the Woman
Wearing IT.
ONE PEEP THROUGH IRON BARS

of Woman Clad in

Only the quick wit and determined efforts
Of an elevator boy saved the young woman
W. airing the directoire or sheath gown a.

being trampled by a crowd of men who
went TO the store Wednesday to see the
new clothes" and all they could OF the
graceful weareT.
The evening gown was worn on the sec
ond floor in the millinery and suit depart
ment. Two elevators led to this floor and
they have cruel, prison-looking iron doors
with strong bars. It was the bars on the
doors and the firm elevate conductor who
refused TO open the doors, which saved the
woman from the mob.
Going up" shouted the boy when he
opened the door on the basement floor.
The elevator was promptly filled. When
the first floor was reached the crowd al
most swamped the elevator and there was
no LANCER OF it exceeding the speed ordi-
nances as it lifted several dozen men to
the second floor where the beautiful blonde
woman was wearing the gown.
Only a Peep Allowed.
But only a Peep through the bars was al
lowed the curious men. The elevator boy
was firm, He would not open the gate.
The woman, like a frightened bird in a
''gilded cage" walked slowly back and
forth before the elevator. Only an instant
was allowed for each elevator or sight
seeing car, which like one OF the great as
phalt ships passed on almost before the
passengers could see the sights.
One elevator after another vent up loaded
with men, but every time they came
down with a look OF disappointment on
their faces and one or ts0 attempted TO
ascend the stairway to the second floor.
