Albert Fleming nnd bis wife, Mary, of 20IK llanrroft strnot. wcro arrested Thurs day evening because their first month of married life has been one of strife. Neigh bors complained nbout them frequently and Patrolman Murphy was sent to nrrcst them. Mrs. Fleming complhlncd. nfter being brought to tho city Jail, thnt tio-yenr-old Albert Induced her to llvo with him by making false pretenses. Ho told her, sho says, that ho was a wealthy railroad con tractor, but his money soon ran out. Then ho explained that ho was expecting n re mit tnnce at at'y moment from his business agent, but it nover came. Finally tho pan try nnd coal bin became empty and they wcro compelled to seek aid at tho county store, which supplied them w'lth meat, coal and groceries. Mrs. Fleming complained further thnt Albert took part of those sup plies at various limes nnd sold them for money to buy whisky. After that he would como homo and quarrel until ho got over tho drunk. Fleming also has crlovances. Ho claims that his wife posed as n maiden of 2.", and that ho has since learned that sho was a crass widow of I.". Furthermore, ho says, sho has two little dogs, to which Hho fed nil tho meat secured at tho county store. Sho nlso Inilsts on keeping those dogs, ho said, at the foot of the bed every night, which is extremely rcpugnnnt to his Ideas of correct deoortment. Hut, worse than all, ho says, sho cannot cook.

Miss Nellio Mageo has temporarily suc ceeded Mrs. Parks In tho gospel work In tho west wing of tho county Jail, but her uumarous duties as city missionary will not udmlt of her accepting It permanently. Miss Magco's report from tho city mission work was most encouraging. Tho nccosalty of Industrial classes at tho W. C. T. U. cottago Is, for tho pres ent, over, tho destruction of tho buildings on Hamcat alley having scattered tho population of that troublesomo quarter to districts reached by tho other missions. Sunday school classes and tho distribution of literature will still contlnuo there, how ever, for tho benefit nf tho children of tho district adjacent to tho Webster street sta tion. Ten cases of distress among women and children woro relieved at tho cottago last month. A review of tho Christmas work nmong tho eleven boys' temperance clubs, In tho missions, was equally amusing and pathetic, Miss Shlnrock relating soveral instances which proved tho susceptibility of these street urchins to a softer and better In fluence, which alone will enable them to overcome their present environment and become honest citizens. Tho salary of tho city missionary Is still a proplexlng question, only $7.S0 of It hav ing been paid for December.

The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to all who had helped toward tho Christ mas celebrations In tho missions.

"Dox Uox." that quaint llttlo den on North Sherman avenue, which has been nn object of curious Interest for so many years, Is without an occupant. Its owner, "Doc" George Smith, ns he wns familiarly known, surveyor, poet and phil osopher, died nt his home, 2202 Sherman nvenue, adjulnlug the historic little struc ture that serxed so long as his study, early yesterday morning nt tho ago of 73 years. If one were lo scan the pages of tho city's history from beginning to end, mention of n more picturesque, genial or kindlier man would not be found. Those who had homes here In the days when Omaha was hardly moro than a name on the map of tho west remember (Icorgo Smith as ono among tho rugged pioneer settlers who worked early and lata and accomplished things which Identified him with tho first municipal In stitutions. Later generations know him better by tho soubrlquot, "Doc," as the sago of I ho curious retreat, "Dox Hox," where ho stud ied much In his unique way, nnd often con tributed to tho press. Ho wns something of n poet and had written several hooks of verse, which had more than ordinary In terest by reason of a pathos that tinged all the lines and of a moral concluding each nt his poetic productions. Nearly all the verses were dedicated to friends. Why Hp Wnn Cn licit "llnp." George Smith was fond of telling his newer friends how It happened that I. Is Christian namo came to be forgotten by all but Intimates and tho soubriquet. "Dim-." was accepted In Its stead a good many years ago. Ho explained It by telling of a time when he was a schoolboy lu the lluckeyo Btnto and remained away from ills recita tions for weeks nt a tlmo lu nurse a sick mother. While the rest of the family went nbout their usual vocations ho remained at tho bedside. The family physician said that he wns moro efficient than nny mnn of pills and plnsters in his acquaintance. From that day on tho namo of "Doc" stuck to him. George Smith came (o Nebraska from his native state, Ohio, in lS.1i!, having stopped on the way two years in Cedar Itaplds, la. Tho homestead on which ho lived was pre empted by him on his arrival and an In cident th.it happened In this connection is typical of him and his methods through life. At that tlmo there was a clulm club whoso chief usefulness wis to protect its mem bers from interlopers nnd to promote the scheme of holding 320 ncrcs of land In stead of 100, as tho homestead law pro vided. In that day Smith wns new in Oinah.i. Hu locuted his claim running back from the banks of tho Missouri and built a hut to llvo In, At tho outset his presence on tho land was declared repugnant to the claim club anil a committee visited tho hut ono night Immediately after his oc cupation with tho nntltlcntlon that a con tinuation nf his resldenco would result In n cold and unceremonious bath In tho "llig Muddy." Tho thrcntB failed to Intimidate. Smith held his ground In both senses of tho word. The committee kept lis word In that a group of men enmo to tho hut not long afterward and carried Its owner across tho river, leaving him on tho Iowa bank with tho admonition that If he over returned It would be sure death to liini. Up In ii( liitlmliliiteil. Smith did not return nt once. Ho Jour neyed to Leavenworth, Kan., and us ho had surveyed tho claim It was not a dif ficult matter to placo a filing on it. Tho sumo fall he mado the trip back lo Omaha and Mcnt tho winter In nn linprnvlsloncd homo In n Blono quarry Just below tho sito nf the old Union Pacific bridge. In the spring ho sent word to thu president of tho claim club to Inform the members nt tho next meeting that he was a good man, n remarkable shot wbh a gun and that If ho wero not molested In the pos session of his claim none of tho members would bo harmed. Tho claim club took tho hint nnd Smith got tho land. 'Doc" Smith's popularity with Iho poll- t lolnim with nil parties enabled him to bold tho offlco of county surveyor from lSGfi, when ho received tho first nomination, until 1S87, when ho resigned In favor of C. K. House. In 1 Sit 1 ho was ngaln elected to tho office nnd held it ono term, being succeeded by Charles II, Howes. Ho was tho first man to run a lino over Omaha real estato for tho purpose of converting It Into city property. In 1881, whllo county Burvcyo', he platted tho site of South Omaha, Ids certificate bearing tho date of July 18 of that year. Ucorgo Smith was married in 1SC3 to Miss S. M. Converse, who survives h,lm. Tho funeral will tnko plnco Saturduy morn ing from tho home. Tho Interment will bo ut Prospect Hill cemetery. WII.I. OF YII,I,II (i. SAIIMII'.llS.
