Thieves last night broke into the Office
of Samuel ID. De Vaughan & Son, 209
North Royal street. contracting carpen-.
tiers, and robbed the safe of it's contents,
SOL 40. The robbery was discovered this
morning by Mr.. De Vaughan, who at once
reported it to the police.
The thieves effected an entrance into
the place by breaking a hack window
light and then reaching down. only
short distance, and unlocking the door.
They were evidently familiar with the
combination of the safe and experienced
no trouble in opening.it The money was
in a small cash drawer in the safe. The
thieves left by the rear door.
That the robbery was the work of some
one familiar with the combination of the
safe there seems to be little doubt. The
safe is a small one and the money had
been in it for several days, being a pri-
vate fund Nothing else in the Office was
disturbed by the robbers.

Fight Over Council Seats.

When Robert S Barrett and William
Desmond appear in city council at its
meeting tonight with their certificates of
election as members of that body from
the first and second wards. respectively
and are sworn in by President Howard
w Smith there is going to be considera-
BILE said on both sides, and much will be
said against the seating of the two new
councilmen.
This is because the seats that they are
after are now filled by Councilmen Cr-
ban S. Lambert and Robert Graham
These two councilmen propose to retain
their seats until they are legally deposed.
Quo warranto proceedings will doubtless
be instituted by the two new councilmen
and the matter will be finally disposed of
in the corporation court.
The new set of health laws only re-
Gently amended by the board of aldermen
will be up again for consideration. Other
matters of Importance also are slated to
be considered at this meeting.

At the south end OF Folsom. where the

II reached the bluff. Where a few days
ago there was a wide bottom between the

CLAUSE IN WILL MAY
COST HEIRS THEIR SHARE

Having failed in an attempt TO break
the will Of the late William Hopper. two
Of his children, Daniel G. Hopper and
Mrs. Lomlla Mclean. may be cut off
with practically nothing. Executors Of the
win have asked County Judge Crawford
for a construction OF clause OF the will
which II is believed means they shall re-
ceive only 500 each. The court will rule
within two weeks.
Mr.. Hopper left an estate approxlmating
$4,000. Daniel Hopper and Mrs. Mclean
were dissatisfied with requests Of $4,000
and contested unsuccessfully. The clause
in question sets out that II any legatees
shall contest any part OF the will they
shall receive 800. The language Ia a
trifle ambiguous. though the belief Of
the executors In that the testator meant
they should be cut off. The contesting
legatees deny this and demand their
shares under the will

EASTERN SUIT HOUSES
ARE UNLOADING STOCKS

The unreasonable spring weather
throughout the country is having tell
ing effect upon big New York manufac-
turers, especially those who operate IN
ladies' wearing apparel. This is sig
nificantly shown in a purchase made this
week by Mr.. J. B. Orkin, resident New
York buyer for orkin's Douglas street
store. Mr.. orkin bought over L5o0 new
spring suits in the latest models and
popular materials at a price so much
less than half that 1t shows clearly the
eastern cloak and suit houses are pre-
pairing to unload their immense stocks
at any sacrifice. Mr.. Orkin anticipated
this condition Of the market and watched
for the most favorable opportunity to
buy these fine tailored suits at his own
price. These suits will be placed on sale
at orkin's Douglas street store Saturday.
The range OF styles and eolors is by far
the largest shown in Omaha. which will
no doubt be greatly appreciated by the
women Of this vicinity. Mr.. orkin Is
highly elated over this unusual purchase
and expects that this will be the greatest
suit sale in the history Of the store.

Temporary Rooms
Are Secured by the
National Guards

Temporary quarters have been rented
in the old Germania hall between Eigh-
tenth and Nineteenth on Harvey street
by the Nebraska National guards. where
each Monday evening the men will meet
and the roll called. This was decided on
by meeting Of the officers of the guard
Friday. In a month they will know
whether or not they can have their old
quarters back which were destroyed In
the fire that wrecked the old car house
at Twentieth and Harvey streets
Wednesday evening.
As the national guards lost upwards
of 81, 500 In the fire. entailing a complete
loss. upon which they still owed the state
$500, they quite abandon hope OF ever
again getting on their feet such as they
were before the fire.
I'VE haven't very much money and VIC
have to go slow" said Lieutenant Colonel
William H. Baehr. but we will continue
to pull along for awhile In these new
quarters. They are not much to seak OF,
but the rooms will answer the purpose Of
getting the men together for roll call
and to talk things over.
If we can get our old quarters back I
think we will go back to them. but II
the building is torn down or for any
reason we can't go there 1t is probable
the men will disband."
Certainly ii is serious and pathetic
outlook for the national guards. The
state has already given the guards 81, 100
on which the organization added $500.
They still owe 800 of this amount and
to equip new quarters or at the best re-
equip the old presents a not too hopeful
outlook to maintain the functions Of the
armory as they were before their quar-
tiers were destroyed.
