WIFE INb BABES ARE LEFT .Ttug Mother with Two Littls Oim Seeks ' Husband Eh Loves. PITIFUL SCENE ' AT POLICE STATION Hea4 of Hoaarhold Utvti la Search I " Work When Ailvrnllr Coinea tail la Not llenrtl From. Mm. T. F. NewtJii, u.arng her 2-yeaiV old son on one arm and leading her 4-year-old daughter by the hand, walks 1 Into the of3ct of Chi if of Police Donahua and askel what she should do to secure Immed a e assistance fur herself and children and And htr husband, who has been gone nearly three weeks. The woman, a comely little mother, and her boy and girl aa neat, as two pint, tried to reKlraln the teaia as she toid the chief her story. The drat real cold day of the season found her without a helpmate, home or the neceMartes of life for her self and all that was left for her, her little darllnaa. Kh preaced the little boy closer to her breast and wiped away a tear. "Don't cry, munima," the little fill au!d, aa the laughed In childish Innoceme. The. chief was moved at the scene and reached down In his pocket and gave the woman a coin of generous denomination, and others standing near followed iutt. The . Newtona were married five years ago ChrUtmas eve In Omaha. The union was the reault of a little romance, and both believed they would be "happy ever after." They were happy for some, time. Newton Is a carpenter by trade and toon after the marriage the couple went to Randolph, Neb., where Newton secured - work. They bought a lot and In hla spare time Newton built a cottage, small but cosy. A rear elapsed and a taby girl came Into the home, and there was not a happier home In Randolph. The girl was named besale. A calamity came Into the lives of the Newton about a year ago. While at a plo nlo their home and contents were de stroyed by Are, with no inauranoe. The tittle bom was the ambition of Newton's life. It was all awept away at one "fell aw oop," aa It were. The lot waa then snortgaged for nec teal. let and rhe mort gage waa foreclosed. Newlon 10 ;t his am bition and beoune discouraged. The family kioved to Omaha sums time ago and the kusband worked at odd Joba, eking out a precarious livelihood, Mrs. Newton eeya. "The las time I saw him he placed hla arooa around aty'neck and aald, 'Uoodbye, ' Mi I aa going ts work out ta t)i coun try somewhere near Omaha,' " said Mrs. Newton to the chief. The . woman says her husband is not addicted to strong drink and had no bad habits, but she thinks he Is discouraged and gave up the struggle. Yet ahs canno: think how he could have deserted the wl e and children he seemed to love so much. A complaint of desertion haa been filed against Newton, so that the police may be able to arrest him when found, but It is believed by the chief that Newton will re turn of his own volition when he knows his wife Is grieving for hi return and Is willing to share any circumstances that may befall him. Mr. and Mrs. Newton were marrlt d when both were 17. The woman waa an orphan and now la alone In the world with her two children. COST OF LOCAL LANDSLIDE !

OMAHA, Nov. SO.-To the Editor of The Bee: Under the following headlines, "Liq uor men's bargain for change in the law," the Lincoln Evening News quotes the meas ure which the liquor people made an effort to have placed on the statute books two years ago and will cause to bo Introduced In the house this winter. The News charges Governor Mickey with promising his signa ture to the proposed law In exchange foi the liquor vote. There is no truth In this assertion. Governor Mickey never promised to sign our bill and no officer of the State Liquor Dealers' association has asked him to do so. A copy of the bill was placed be fore him two years ago and his only an swer was: "It looks on Its face to be a fair proposition and I shall give It due consideration when the proper time comes. I am a servant of all people and shall en deavor to satisfy my constituents without fear or favor." We asked for nothing more at that time and have not discussed the matter with the governor since. Quoting from the News: Over in Omaha the liangers-on of the liquor interests are outspoken in the asser tion that Governor Mickey has promised the agents of the state association of liquor dealers that he will sign lhi bill. It is asserted that the promise v secured about ten days before election by Secretary Keating of the state association and C. K Fields, editor of the Protector. The story Is recited with considerable minutiae of detail how Messrs. Keating and Fields came to Lincoln upon invitation and appointment of the governor, waited upon him at the capitol and secured his promise to sign this measure if it should pass the legislature. Arrangements were at that time made for lining up the liquor Interests of the state for the governor's re-election. It is true that Messrs. Keating and Fields went to Lincoln about two weeks prior to the election to look after a damage suit pending against some of our members and Incidentally called upon the governor. Dur ing our brief visit not a single word was mentioned about our bill, nor waa state politica discussed. It Is true that the editor of the Protector and other officers of the association trav eled over the state, but our mission waa to explain the merits of our proposed law to candidates for the state legislature and uige them to support It. We did not need free railroad transportation, for the asso ciation has a plentiful supply of funds and all money used In muking this canvass was drawn frcAn our treasury. The association foots Its own bills and asks no monetary favors from anybody. Mr. Rerge was shown a copy of the bill by officers of the association and gave us practically the same answer that Governor Mickey did twe years ago. He was not aakvd to pledge kimsulf to sign it, so could not have "turned It down," as the News suggests. Liquor dealers throughout the state did give Governor Mickey their hearty support, and for good reasons. He hnd been In office two years and given the people a clean ad ministration. He did nothing In particular for the liquor Interests, nor did he make a special effort to do us harm. The saloon men felt they could trust him to deal fairly with us. and the fact that the major part of the church and prohibition elements were fighting him so bitterly stimulated our people to more vigorous efforts In his be half. Again, we were certain to have a republican senate and house this year and It would have been imprudent for us to elect a fusion governor. The election is a thing of the past. The people have spoken and it 111 becomes any newspaper to abuse and vllllfy the man ot their choice. There is not now and never has been an understanding between Governor Mickey and the liquor forces. All we ask from him Is fair treatment and that much we have a right to expect. If the Lincoln News or any other news paper feels inclined to oppose the enact ment of our proposed law that Is their privilege, but nothing can be accomplished by maligning the governor of our state.

IGORROTES START FOR HOME Philippine Head Hunters Leave St. Loots for Seattle on a Spe. elal Train. N ST. LOUIS. Dec. 2. Sixty-nine Igorrotes, men, women and children, the last of the savage head-hunting tribe of the Philip pine islands, departed from the government reservation at the World's fair grounas to night for Seattle, Wash., in a special train over the Burlington route. They win aali for the Philippines on December 12. " Governor T. K. Hunt, who has had charge of the Igorrotes at the World's fair, stated tonight that the reason he was taking the Igorrotes away Immediately upon the does of the exposition was to avoid habeas corpus proceedings, which he understood were to be instituted to obtain possession of several of the Igorrotes for a theatrical project. "I am under heavy bond," continued Gov ernor Hunt, "to return my people to their homes in the Philippines, snd while sev etal of them may not wlteh to leave the United States at this time, the agreement out of which they came to the World's fair contains no provision for' their remaining, and I am held responsible fur their safe stay eud speedy return." 1 ' ' ' I MUSIC AND MUSICIANS . Concert at the Royd. A program strangely unpretentious in its makeup and of the lightest order, music ally speaking, formed the attraction at the Boyd last night. As one of the series ol the Young Men's Christian association en tertainments it's evident design was to please and satisfy the bulk of subscriber in their craving for something everybod could understand rather than "to elevate and educate a more pretentious caste" of music, students and real art devotees. Judging f rom . the generous applause ac corded each of the "Four-Star company" (for such the program christens them) the people present responded to their offerings In a most buoyant and naively apprecia tive spirit. Miss Sammls is a mezzo so prano whose lower tones strike a more sympathetic chord with the listener than can be said of her work above F. She sang Wllson'a "Carmena," besides songs In a similarly light vein, responding to fre quent encores, among which some Bee thoven and Wagner worshipers present noticed with dual feelings, "My Drowss -Eyed Babe." Mr. Uohumlr Kryl he o: those low tones on his cornet 'has' been with us so very recently, during May fes tivities, that further comment Is unneces sary. MI.-n Mabelle Caroline Church mane an excellent impression with original and highly amusing sketches of the elocutionary art, while Mr. 6ul Heilbronner, with the dreadful handicap of a very unresponsive upright piano, played well indeed under the circumstances. And Isn't It a pity that thus an artist must be deprived from exhibiting his true worth on an adequate concert grand Instrument? Alfred Farlaad at Chambers. Chambers' academy was filled by an en thusiastic audience last evening at the concert and recital given by Alfred A. Far land, the banjo virtuoso. The numbers by the banjo, mandolin and gultur orchestra were pleasing features of the performance and the selections under the direction of George F. Gellenbeck made a hit. Bright numbers were selected and these were played with a dash and swing tluit cap tured the fancy. The first number by the orchestra received an Impetuous encore, but was not responded to. Later In the evening there was another enthusiastic en core which could not be Ignored. Another attractive feature of the even ing was the Gfllenbeck string quartet. Two very popular airs were played. Ver di's "Miserere," from "II Trovatore," snd Moszkowskl's "Spanish Dance." Both took with the audience but the encore waa not responded to. The Interest of the evening centered In the work of Mr. Fsrland. Ills selections were from tbe most difficult com posers and he again demonstrated to the 'ict that In concert technique he la .the master of the ban Jo. Chopin, Paganlnl. Beethoven, Herbert, Mendelssohn and other well known composers were selected from and Mr. Farlnnd showed possibilities In the banjo as a concert Instrument that must have been a revelation to those who have never heard the banjo In classical se lections.
