Look for the lleur.l
Passershy on South Main street were
stnrtlrd yestertlny morning by n woman
with disheveled hair who npponred to be
Intensely excited leaning out of an upstairs
window In thy Kiel hotel calling nt the
top of !ir voire for n pellcrmnn.
"Send nn nftleer to room 41 nt one," sl.o
yelled repeatedly, while waving her nrms
ns If In passionate appeal to those passing
on the street below.
Officer Swnnson happened to he In the
vicinity, and his attention being called to
tho woman ho hastened to the hotel to In
vestigate. In the room named by tho
uottinn was found Mrs. Kato Feolcy, who
formerly lived near Underwood, this county,
but who for some tlmn has been living on
North Klghtccnth street, Omaha. The
woman nppcarcd to be lu a sad state of
mental derangement.
After tho officer went to the room, ac
companied by tho clerk of the hotel, It was
some time before he could secure admit
tance. "Are you sure you are nn olllcer?" al
most shrieked the woman from tho Inside.
"I cannot let you In unless you are, us I
am nfrald they will kill me."
Swansot. assured the woinuli lie wan nn
olllcer of the law and then could bo heard
tho sound of furniture being moved. When
tho olllcer entered, the woman told him sho
hnd placed the bed against tho door and tho
bureau ngnlnst that, us they iind been
after her during tho night to kill her.
"They could not get in, however, ns I had
tho furnlturo so fixed that they would
have had to break down tho wall first,"
she said.
In a few words tho woman told tho olllcer
that sho wanted him to ttiko her to tho
court house, whero she could get protec
tion from the men who were following her
to tnlio her life. Ofllccr Swatison escorted
the womnn to tho court bouse, where ho
turned her over to the custody of Sheriff
Cousins, who placed her In tho county Jail
until her case could ho disposed of by tho
insanity commissioners.
Hun lleen In .IIIkiiIIiiii.
Mrs. Peclcy Is well known at tho court
house, having been Involved In considerable
lltlga'ion, About two yenrs ago sho was
Indicted for shooting nt two men at Under
wood, who wero bitting- on tho sldowalk
In front of her house. The indictment was
llnally quashed and who was never tried on
tho charge. Her husband, Mlko Teeley,
owns 100 acres of good farming land near
Underwood, but they have not lived on tho
furm for tho last year.
The woman is laboring under tho hallu
cination that sho is acquainted with the
kidnapers of Kdwurd Cudahy and that they
:iro aware of tho knowledgo she possesses
and are after her to kill her before Calla
han's trial comes up. When placed in
Sheriff Cousins' caro Mrs. Feeley said:
'I guess you .people, thluk I'm crazy, but
am not. 1 know what I am doing all
right, hut they aro nfter mo and unless
I am protected they will kill me."
"Who aro after you?" was asked her.
"Why, tho men who kidnaped young
Cudahy. I know nil about them nnd they
know I do. That Is why they want to get
rltl of mo before this man Callahan has
his trial."
Sho was asked bow sho came acquainted
with tho kidnapers. Sho said: "Well, you
eco it was In this way. I was visiting my
sister in South Omaha nnd ono evening
when it was dark I was standing on tho
street corner and 1 overheard two men
talking. I listened and before I know it
I wns in possession of all tho facts about
tho kidnaping. I mado a noise and the
men saw me. I ran homo ns fust ns I
could, nml I could hear them following
me. Since that night they have been after
mo to kill me."
Treated nt n Hospital.
About a month ago Mrs. Feeley called
upon A. T. Fllcklnger, her nttomey, who
Is n member of tho Hoard of Insanity Com
missioners, and told him sho was being
hounded to death by the Cudahy kidnapers.
She was at that time in a stato almost
bordering upon nervous prostration and on
Mr. Fllcklnger's advice Mrs. Feeley went to
St. Iiernnrd's hospital for treatment. Last
Saturday sho called upon Mr. Fllcklnger
again and repented her story about being
followed by tho kidnapers. Ho managed to
reassure her that she was perfectly safe
and tho woman went away apparently
satisfied. Monday evening Mrs. Feeley
registered nt tho Kiel hotel nnd wns as
signed to a room. Sho did not appear nt
tho brenkfnst tablo yesterday morning and
nothing unb seen or heard of her until sho
called from her wludow for a policeman.
Mlko Feeley, the woman's husband, mid
Mr. Fllcklugcr last Saturday that his wlfo
did not know anything about tho kidnapers
and that sho had bad dreams. Ho said
his wlfo had accused him of being crazy
because ho would not plnco any stock In
what sho said nnd that she accused him
of being In lenguo with tho kidnapers who
wero trying to take her life.
Tho commissioners decided not to tnko
any steps In thu caso unttl tho 'husband's

Walter I, Smith MnUcn Fun for nn
Audience lit the .Men's I'ltili.
Congressman AVnllcr 1. Smith gnvo an
interesting talk last night before the Men's
club of St. John's P.ngltsh Lutheran church
on "Happenings in Congress." Mr. Smith
bundled hhi subject In un entirely Informal
mnnnor and relieved tho detail matter by
Interspersing a number of short stories and
anecdotes about his fellow legislators.
Congressman Smith has a reputation for
being a first rate story teller and ho wa3
heard at his bePt.
Ho described in detail the manner In
which bills nre passed through congress,
the majority of which are nuver voted on at
nil. Some IH.OOO bills wero Introduced In
tho last congress and tho spenkcr showed
how It was Impossible for a congressman
to familiarize himself with everyone of
them. All Important legislation, he said
was done In eonimltteo.
Telling a Joko on himself ho related a
story on Congressman Eddy of Minnesota,
who has tho reputation of being the plain
est looking, If not homeliest, man In con
gross.
Congressman Kddy at one time In his
career was In favor of free silver, hut later
turned to tho gold standard. During tho
last campaign ho was to speak at a small
town. Tho local paper paralleled two of his
speeches und headed it "Two-Faced Kddy
His friends wero bomewhat nlarmed and told
him ho would havo to square matters to
tho audience lu some way.
"Don't you worry." said Dddy, "I will
make that matter all right."
lleforo entering on his nddress Kddy
asked tho permission of his audience to
make a few Introductory remarks rola
tlvo to nn article that had appeared lu the
local paper. Taking tho copy of tho paper
from his pocket ho reud "Two-Faced
Eddy." Then turning to his audience said:
"Oentlenien, this paper accuses mo of
having two faces. Do' you think If I had
that I would ho going around wcnrlng this
ono?"
Then, fitting this story to himself, Con
gressman Smith told how, after ha had
Mulshed his speech on tho Hooz Investi
gation, Colonel Clayton enmo over to him
and shaking him by tho hand told him how
u fellow congressman had asked who ho
wns.
"I told him," said Colonel Clayton, "that
It wns Smith of Iowa nnd the congressman
replied: 'Well, you don't sny bo. I had
an idea it was Eddy of Minnesota.' "

under thu order of tho court sold three
pieces of tho real cstato forming part of
tho assets of Olllcer & I'usoy. Tho sales
havo not been mado of record, hut havo
been confirmed by tho court.
A number of tho creditors of the hank
failed to tuko ml vantage of tho six-months'
limit in which to Mo their clniins against
tho cstato of Thomns Olllcer for preference.
This requirement wns unknown to many
of tho creditor and oeveral expressed sur
prise, when they learned that tho tlmo had
expired.
Ono creditor, whoso nnmo Hecclvcr Mur
phy declined to mako public, was lu the
bank Monday and was paid his dividend
of 23 per cent, amounting to $700. AVhen
Informed Hint tho tlmo for filing claims for
preference against tho Olllcer estnte hnd
expired tho man paced up and down tho
bunk and suddenly turning toward llu
celvor Murphy thrust his hand Into his
overcoat pocket, saying: "My Rod, I hnvo
a mind to put and end to it all right
here."
From tho man's immunr nnd look of
despair on his faco Hecclvcr Murphy
thought ho was going to commit suicide
right there In tho hank. Fortunately nt
this moment n friend of tho disappointed
creditor happened In nnd laughingly re
marked that ho had "overlooked a hot for
onco In his llfo" by not illlng his clnlm
ngnlnst the Olllcer estate. Tho easy man
ner In which his friend took It had evi
dently n reassuring effect upon tho disap
pointed creditor, for he brightened up and
accompanied him Into tho street, while I'.e
colver Murphy breathcil free again, happy
In tho thought that it possible suicide bad
beeu thus fortunately averted.

The hops used in Schlitz
beer are vne best hops grown
in the world; most of them
are imported from the re
nowned Saaz district in Bo
hemia. They are personally
selected at the hop-picking
season by one of the owners
of our business.
Then we keep them in re
frigerating rooms until they
are used. We preserve their
aroma, so that they conic to
our vats with all the freshness
and virtue that they had on
the vines.
That's one reason why
Schlitz beer is so palatable,
livery ingredient used in it
is the best that money can
buy.
But without purity that
expense Avould be folly. No
beer can be good unless it
is pure. To insure absolute
purity we largely increase
the necessary cost of our
brewing.
Your physician knows
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.
