Ilr.E.1 The republicans of this part of the
Btato report the greatest ohthusUsm find

party , ntid the ntnto Issues which divided the
party , so that the democrats were enabled to
ro-rlect n Rovornor. will not bo considered.
Tbo prohibition nnd nnll-prohl billon elements
have como together for the ono great object
of giving tholr party ono of Its old tlmo ma
jorities in this stalo. Chairman Mnclc of the
Kioto committee has returned from Mlnncnp-
oils nt.d says that Minneapolis has ntiipiy
provided for the convention by building n
hall which will hold nbout l'JUOO people.
lown will send 400 republicans to the conven
tion , and they have organized Into a Inrgo
political club. The delegates to this conven
tion from Iowa report that In their districts
there Is the greatest ( . nthuslasm , nnd that
Iowa will no longer bo classed ua doubtful by
opposing panic.- * .

Iho democrats of tins state will soon hold
their state convention in Council Illuffs and
from present Indications It Is hard to tell
Just whcro tbo lightning will slrllto. It is
known thht the Iowa delegation will go to
the national convention Instructed for Holes
for president with Cleveland ns second
choice. Hut thora has been developed nn
nntagonlsm to Holes since the election last
fall and oven his warmest admirers are free
to confess that ho has made onomlos In
quarters where ho should have made friends.
Hill and Cleveland both have iirdont ad-
nilrcw , but the cx-presldonMs the cholco
\\hOii ! l colnOi down to actual facts.
Of course the democrats will push Boles ,
tint they concede that ho will bu fortunate If
lie receives the scconu post of liotinr on the
presidential ticket. This feeling is
caused by the way Palmer of Illinois
is coming to the front. In sport
ing parlance Palmer looms up to the
Iowa democrats like n four-tlmo winner. " If
this should bo the case Boies will not bo In
it. However , the Ituwkoyo democrats are
nil patriotic enough to want nn lown man on
the ticket and will work hard for IJoios.
The fact of the tnattor Is that outsldo of the
state ticket last full nnd during the muni
cipal elections this spring , the democrats
have presented a badly disorganized front
und were easy iraino to the republicans.
AVcincr'n Presidential Anticipations.
Too third party still lives and Weaver and
Donnelly- united. Jim Weaver , who has
won some tame ns n political contortionist , it
is f > ald has been carefully studying a littio-
Rrapu of the presidential cbntr and posing
his spine to fit its ci : y curves. Jim has boon
in almost every political party that has been
organized during the past thirty-fivo years.
DCS Moiuus Is rapldlv developing Into a
city of sensations. Murders nnd murder
trials have tilled columns of the local press ,
nnd when n imm Is kicked or beaten to death
mention of the fact is only made in the city
brevities. The latest sensation is n reverend
pontlcman who has quietly located hero and
without Ictllug any one know his business

Text , Luke 12 , 19-20 , "And I will say to my
soul Soul : Thou hast much goods laid up
for many years , tnko thlno case , out , drink
nnd bo merry. " But ( Jed said unto him :
"Thou fool , " this night thy soul shall bo re
quired of the ; then whoso shall these things
bo which thou hast provided 1"
Covctousncss appears to bo the unnatural
growth , into n monstrosity , of ouo of the
most uccossan and beneficial traits of the
human mind or heart. Prudence , independ
ence , self-esteem nnd self-support , the provi
dent euro of one's family , or tnoso dependent
upon one , must bo considered as ninoni ; the
virtues of a people. If these virtues grow
in the soil wnoro there is genuine love for
men , thcru 1 no danger that there
will bo any monstrous growth.
But , If tlioro is no such love ,
sclf-cstcoin Is llltoly to develop into selllsh-
upss , and Independence is llablo to develop
Into Impudence , and prudence and providence
will become covotousness. The great danger
lies not co much in the bimplo wish to bnvo
wealth for the benefits and common com
forts Unit it bring ! ) , us in the thirst for it ,
bccauso of thp gratification of prldo and
lusts , and ambition , which becomes posslbla
to thoko who have great wealth.
A thlrn for wealth seems to ho ns con
tagious us the yellow lover , and moro do
Btructtvo. So common Is this moral nnd.
spiritual disease that when any ono does
really got over It , and becomes wholly un-
eollisli , It Is a matter which attracts a great
deal of attention , both In tbo Imslucss work
and in circles of Christian pebclo.
Covetousncs.8 , in its various manifesta
tions , is * In a peculiar sense a most nroml
iiont trait In the Anglo Saxon race. Croat
JJrltmn is the richest notion In Europe , am
our wraith In this country exceeds bora b >
probably half a billion dollars. In I8S1 our
wealth was $270,000,000 greater than Eng

Hut now , in this country , there nro moro

have been required to build up tbo private
fortunes , but hero , many nnd most of the

It Is told us of Agassiz that ho could not

Suggestions to Purchasers of Homes oil tlio
1'iirtlal I'uymoiit l'l : > : i.
A week ago Tin : Bun called attention to
the growing prautico amone people of moder
ate moans of buying homes on the partial
? ayiuont.plan , and J. E. Bennett of Bloom-
ileld , Nob. , communicates the following ou
thosamo subject :
"In your Issue of the 18tn you have nn
article on real estate , the buying and selling
Df homes on the easy payment plan. As I
have given this matter "some attention of Into
I feel that a few suggestions now might bo
bcnollclal to buyers and sellers. Wage earn
ers who attempt to purchase homos on the
monthly payment plan have been In many in
stances handicapped by excessive payments
falling due once or twice a year , as interest ,
taxes , etc. , that they are unable to moot nnd
with no clause in tbolr contract for tbo pro
tection of the purchaser. Should bo fail to
inauo a paymcut promptly bo must at once
lose his interest in the property. While wo
nro all desirous of selling our property and
looking out for our own pro
tection ns to tbo prollt of
the investment , interest , possession , etc. ,
wo must loou equally well to tne protection
Of the interests of the purchaser , to see that
ho has n fair show. For instance , you con
sider for him the elements of investment
nnd rent ; for the purchaser , prolits in ac
cumulative interest. These elements , if
properly considered , nro almost identical
with the general principles of life insurance ,
and to further prove 'my loyalty to this
theory 1 have formulated n certificate of saloon
on this basis. I take a note lor I per cent of
the consideration each month for HitJ months
without interest. This allows 8 per cent per
annum on the sale , as any maluomaticlnn can
readily llguro out. This ccrtillcnte and notes
nro deposited in some bank or trust company
for collection nnd safe keeping. At any
time after twclvo payments have boon made ,
should tbo purchaser feel dissatisfied with'
his bargain and wish to give up immediate
possession ( if the property is in as good re
pair as when ho found It ) , I agree to pay him
in cash lO yf per cent of all money paid by
him , nnd at any time ho tnny wish to pay
any or all of the notes before duo ho
shall bs entitled to n discount of
8 par cent per annum. At any tltno after
one-Ultra of these notes have boon paid 1
ugrco to make n warrantee ) deed and take n
mortgage duo In live years nt 8 nor cent nor
annum for the remaining notes , after Jlrst
deducting S per cent interest per annum for
the tlmo they run. For example n house
sold for,000 ) would makn a monthly pay
ment of fiJO. Any tlmo nf tor twelve monthly
payments this would entitle the purchaser lo
$5 n month rebate If ho wished to quit , or Us
equivalent in extended timo. After paying
one-third of the notes lie would oivo & , ! )50 )
not principal 'after deducting the interest.
This is n sjow process , it Is true , but within
tlio reach of every tenant and a safe sale for
thuownor. Should the tenant fall by any
means to mature this certificate ho is only
out a nominal ront. Tlio original owner has
his property and bus baa his interest
monthly , I buliovo this mathod to bo equally
fair with buyer nnd seller , nnd expect tjo
adopt it where similar terms are required.
Should tiny reader feel Interested enough to
write mo I will gladly mall a printed form of
ono of tboso certificates. "

WORK OF KLEPTOMANIACS
How Merchants' ' Profits Are Beclucecl by
Raids of Hightoned Shoplifters. ,
SOME NOTABLE OMAHA INSTANCES
I'crnllnr Ktriiftc * Ol\on liy AVomcn Who
Attempt to Cloak Tlirlr Tvtty
I'loor Wnlher'K Kxpcrlrnco wltli
Tlilc\csniid Kleptomaniacs.
Apropos to the young Mrs. Wllloughby
kleptomania case , in which the pretty young
woman was lined the other day In police
court IS.'O for having n morbid dcMro to steal
articles from dry goods stores , brings to mind
many nlmllnr kleptomania stories nnd facts
ns related by floor wnlKcrs of tbo largest ro-
tall stores and in police courts.
Thousands of dollars' worth of rich illks
and fancy eoods are stolen annually by shop
lifters. Ono Sixteenth street mctchant nlono
claims that his yearly loss from these who
hnvo an Irrcslstlblo Impulse to steal Is some
thing llko $ > ,000 or $0OJO.
A workine girl or poor woman has no
business being a shop-lifter. She will suc
ceed only in getting into ] ail.
But the most feared of nil shoplifters is
the woman who calls herself n kleptomaniac.
There arc few roalo Kleptomaniacs.
Thu well drosscar woman is subject to
little or no osplonngo'ln a crowded store , but
the woman shabbily attired Is under sur-
vclllnnco wherever sbo makes her way. It
is this Immunity from Inspection that makes
easy the kleptomaniac's work. She Is always
carefully drcssod and ladylike In appear
ance , and Indeed , In all other respects than
that of her crnzo for pilfering , her lifo is
usually an exemplary one.
Women .with n propensity to thioylahncss ,
who politely cell thomsolvcs kleptomaniacs
ns a cover for their uamo ns well ns the
goods they steal , nro rarely prosecuted by
tbo owner or manager of n dry goods house ,
If the woman is known she is nt tlmos al
lowed to retain her plunder , n bill of which
is sent to her husband or family. If she bo
unknown , nna the value of the goods which
she has taken is co small ns to provo thnt
she is not a professional shoplifter , she Is
sometimes allowed to go her way , the ends
of Justice being of loss account In the shop
keeper's eyes than -the trouble to which n
prosecution would put him.
So there are now In several well-to-do
homos In Omahn xvomon who have been de
tected In stealing many and many n tlmo ,
yet who have ue.vor ligured in the polioa
court and as n matter of fact never will.
Society in both this city nnd Council
Bluffs , as well as in nil cities throughout Iho
country , hnvo their kleptomaniacs. A floor
walker Inn largo Sixteenth street bazaar
told his experiences with them to n reporter
for THE lifc when the Wllloughby raso wns
Being discussed.
"Holiday time ris the kloptomonias's
season , " said ho. "Our floors are fairly Jam
med with people , and the clerks ore worried
beyond belief. Stealing , Is then very easy.
Look at this lace scarf , Its worth'JjBlO , yet it
cau bo folded so small as to lit nlcdiy In your
vest pocket. Imagine how nicely n woman's
cloak or slclrt would hide it.
"Speaking of lace scarfs , " ho went on ,
"reminds mo of an occurrence last winter.
A llnely dressed \voman came in here. I was
standing over Uy the ribbon counter and her
appearance struck mo as Jreinp rather pecul
iar. She wns looking out of the corners of
her eyes all the time , ns if she were afraid of
being followed. If I wns green in the busi
ness I'd have put her down at once for n
shopliltor , but 1'vo had a longer training and
I saw that this was a kleptomaniac.
"Yet sbo acted almighty queer. I got be
hind that pillar and kept an eye on her. She
asked the salesman to show her some
real luce fichus. Ho got down a
couple of boxes of them. They
didn't suit her and sbo asked to scosomo
more. Bye and bye the counter was covered
with our costliest scarfs , btlll she was not
satisfied. The salesman went to the further
and of tbe counter and bent down to plek out
some boxes of lace. Quick as n flash the
woman slipped two scarfs into her muff.
The salesman returned. Says she :
" 'Never mind , I won't buy today , ' and
awny she walked. "
The floor waluer said ho knew then that
she was cot a professional pilferer , for hnr
face wns red ns tire and she trembled llko a
leaf. When ho touched her on the shoulder
sbo fairly wilted. She didn't offer any re-
hlstanco when ho told ner that she must bo
searched.
"And what do you think ? " ho continued ,
"hho had at least ? M)0 ) worth of laces hidden
away. They came from nbout every store in
Omaha for I could tell them by lieir tags. "
' What was her excuse ? "
"Tho qucorest I over heard. She said that
her husband forced her to go out and steal.
I asked for bis namo. She wouldn't give it.
I hcln up her card case , which wo had taken
from her with the other things , nnd said ,
'Aren't you Mrs. So-and-So ? ' She began to
cry at that , and I saw that I was right. I
sent for her husband ut onco. Ho is qulto a
prominent business man , and when I told
bun all about it ho tire Ho down and blub
bered llko a baby. Ho said that bis wife
was always gelling into trouble by stealing
from stores ; tbo desire was born in her , nnd
reformation was Impossible.
"Well , " concluded Iho floor walker , "ho
paid for Ibe goods taken from our store nnd
Iho nffalr was hushed up. But , If Iho guesla
who visit Ibis lady only know the sort of
lingers that their hostess ha" , I'll bet tboy
would leave tbolr wraps in iheir carriages or
keep them on. "
Generally n talkative storekeeper of n largo
dry goods boiiso has a rich fund of stories
about well-to-do women kleptomaniacs. One
of the stories ran in this wlso :
Just before last Christmas , n young girl
went into ouo of the leading stores nnd
strolled nbout , apparently with no other
dcsiro than to look on. Her idleness at
tracted the attention of n floor walker , and
ho followed her.
After sauntering about in a leisurely man
ner she wont to the glove counter , tcokn pair
of gloves from an onon box and cool'.y walked
away. The floor v/ilkor did not seize her ,
prcferrinc to see if she would steal anything
else. She walked nbout Iho store , touching
nolblng , and tbon to his surprise returned to
the glove counter and repeated her llrst oper
ation. Again she strolled to the farther end
of the store and again she returned to steal a
third pair of gloves. She had six pairs hid
den when llio lloor walker whispered in her
oar that thu manager of Iho store would llko
to see her. S'ao tried to brazen out of tbo
alTalr , declaring thnt it was an outrage , tbitt
ho would not go to see bun , mid that EUO
would sue tbo storekeeper for cumaeos. But
the floor walker merely lauuhed and took lior
by tbo arm. She went with him unwillingly.
"Sena for Mr. , " commanded th c floor
walkorto | u cash boy , naming the proprie
tor's son. The girl gave a shriek of terror.
"Nol No ! Not ho ! " she criod. "I nm
guilty. I admit It. But do not send for him , "
she fairly bogged ,
Her pleadings were In vain. . The floor
walker paid no bend to her outcry , nnd In n
short time the young man came Into the
oflico where the girl stood.
"i shall never forgot the look on his face , "
caidTiu ) : Uiii's : Informant. "Ho looked as If
fiomcthlng had strucl ; him in ibo oycs. Ho
was dumbfounded , "
" 'Kato , is this you ! ' ho asked ,
"Sho hung down her bead nnd wouldn't
speak , Ho turned to tuo lloor ivaluur and
Bald :
" 'Let tbls woman go , ' nnd there was the
most woeful sound in his voice that 1 ovnr
heard. She wont away without saving nn-
other word , but when they nut her in
carriage at the door she fainted dead away.
"Who was she 1 you asi. That will never
do to muko public , but nt any rateihoro was
somothlnp voryitloso between thorn. They
uro no longer frioftils. "
Kloptomnniaci imvomany excuses far their
Irresistible Impulse to steal. Absonl-inlnd-
cdncss ts Iho molt common excuse of the
Ulnptomanlao. ITtio tone of horror with
whlclt she can ejaculate , ' 'Good heavens )
Wcro these hamHiorchlofs In my mufti"
would do credit ID the average nclroif.
Ono of the Ktrangost excuses ovi.1 given
by nn nmntcun shoDllftor was offered
in n Sixteenth street store not many
weeks nco. At certain young woman ,
whoso identity wns subsequently learned ,
tnado largo purchases in n Farnntn street
Btoro nnd ( irdhrcd Iho goods charged
to nnothar well known Indy. Tlio Inttor
dented having given the orders nnd thoyoung
hiay wns about to got into police court. She
made good tbo purchase and explained thnt
sliu was n victim of hypnotism ; Hint whnn
slio mot n certain man , whoso name she did
not knnw..bo had but to look ut her nnd
straightway stio xvas compelled to steal. She
was completely in his power. Ho had mos-
mcrlzed her.
The shrewdness of these well-to-do pilfer
ers Is shown iti the fact that they never give
poverty as nn excuse for stealing. If they
did so they would bo given up to Iho pollco
nt onco. Being fashionable kleptomaniacs ,
they run no greater risk than that of having
to pay for the goods which they have stolon.

moro dxlcnslyely or in a moro atlractlve way
lhaii the pupils and lenchors at. Cass. Thov
had n flag raising that is , they bad Iwo Hag
raisings ns well as a tree planting. The
pupils purchased two flags , ono for Cass
proper and the other for St. Barnabas , an
annex of Cass. Besides the national hymns
that always find 1)1 ace upon such a program
the program contained snmo excellent music
rendered by members of the Cass school , a
harp and violin duet by John und Joseph
Kosso , and a zither duet by Anton Grantor
nnd Henry Krugor which were very well
rncolved. Anthony Niota rendered n violin
solo which was keenly enjoyed. Miss Arnold
sung "A Farmer Twenty Pigeons Had , " and
everybody knows how the children ( aifd
their elders as well ) , love that old BOHR.
Major Clarkson made an impressive spooeh

Hag lo Daisy Elrod , who bore it out uf doors

of patrons of the school witnessed those cere

crated when a school Iho size of Cass can
ralso $ > 5 for flags.
