"then at "noon track layers are expected to

Chief Brlggs said last night that, acting
under Instructions from ths police board,
he was causing the arrest of a number of

rected the chief to keep at this work until
further orders, so that the city may bs
freed of auspicious chsracters. An effort
Is to bs made to re-establish ths rock pile.
City officials say that ths season Is too late
for much out of door work and they do
not feel warranted In ordering a lot of

OFFICERS ON AFALSE TRACK
Folic Havs a Merry Chase In Trail
ing; Ip th Alleged Kid
napers. Chief of Detectives Dunn and the two men
who havs been Investigating the story of
Dora Warren, or Jackman, as being
kidnaped Wednesday afternoon said last
night that they ar convinced the girl
wss not kidnaped at all. Ths finish of
what they now denominate as a wild goose
chase came yesterday afternoon, when De
tectives Drummy and Moloney took Dora
out to the place on South Tenth street.
where she said she left the csr and where
ths alleged abductors picked her up. Then
she was taken to th cottage where, ac
cording to her story, shs wss going to
dress a woman's hair. No person of the
name of Reed has ever lived there and
ths present occupants of the house never
heard of Dora Jackman before her story
was printed In The Bee yesterday.
Before entering the house, which Is 1410
S)outh Tenth street, Dora said to the de
tectives: "Tou will find a piano in ths
front loom." There wss no piano, and
the woman who received the officers as
serted there has not been a piano in ths
house. Still Dora stuck to her story that
that was ths house she was going to and
where she had gons before to dress Mrs.
Reed's hair.
Driving to South Omaha, the girl took
ths detectives to what she said was ths
exact spot where the team had stopped
on Wednesday afternoon and where her
abductors had unhitched the horses and
left her. To get to th spot pointed out
It would have been necessary for anyone
driving a team to open a gate and pass
alongside the farm house. The occupants
neither saw nor heard any team on their
premises Wednesday, and there were no
tracks to show that any sort of a rig had
been at that spot. The girl pointed out
a place where she said she bad climbed
through the barbed wire fence when sho
jumped from the covered wagon. The soil
was of such a character that she must
bava left some track in getting through
the fence, but there was not the slightest
disturbance of the soft ground. Whereas
on Wednesday night she said that not a
house of any kind could be seen from th
spot where she left the wagon several
farm houses and barns are quite close to
the spot she took th officers to.
Later, some school boys were found who
had met the girl a quarter of a mile from
where she said she got onto the railroad
track by crossing a bridge. At ths point
where th boys met her she was far from
ths bridge and could not possibly havs
got onto the track by crossing it.
Despite all this testimony as to ths
weakness of her very plausibly told yarn,
Dora would not weaken or retract any
part of it. When pressed very close by
questioning, she would take refuge In
weeping. Yesterday morning her adopted
mother, Mrs. Jackman, told her that Mrs.
Kane, now held at the matron's quarters
In the city Jail, Is really her mother. Later
the girl denied any knowledge of th
fact.
Th girl has been to Albright or Its Im
mediate vicinity at some time recently,
posalbly several times, but with whom or
for what purpose th police havs not yet
been able to find out, and Dora won't tell.
It Is thought entirely probable that some
person or persons desired to detain her
against her will on Wednesday afternoon
and took away her shoes to prsvent her
running away. Who this was or ths pur
pose In view Is th merest surmise, but
It seems certain. In the light of yester
day's developments, that shs was not kid
naped. Mrs. Maggie Kan has been discharged
from the matron's department, th police
having fully satisfied themselves that Miss
Warren' story was merely a fancy of her
brain.

It required the use of the Orpheum thea

of over 2.000 members and, judging from

Th board of governors hss of lata been

and I Wish to sav that thv rtiurt erltlcUm
But I think when a member or a subscriber
10 tne parade fund wishes to criticise or
make his kick hs should be msn enough to
do so over his own nsms and befors th
board of governors in a business-like man

uoncrioers io me paraae lund, but I will
ssy now that no attention will be paid to
anonymous communications either through
the press or otherwise. I wish aim to rati
your attention to the fact that many of

do not contribute time nor one cent of
money to the support of our order.
Ons of the questions to consider at this
time Is whether ta rnnfimm t h r.mit-i
Without It this organisation would have
own nnsnciauy emosrrassea long ago, un
less our supporters had come to ths front
with largely Increased subscriptions. The
subscriptions have been doubled snd there
has been quite a balance to make up be
sides. The question Is will the supporter
do It and can they afford to do It? The
carnival affords a grest deal of amusement
to the people. It follows sn old custom
thst has been followed for centurlea Only
our carnival has been modernised to give
the people something new. Something hs
been said about the carnival being Immoral.
Nothing of this kind has been allowed upon
the grounds. The shows given there have
been clesn. Soms object to what they
claim Is Immoral, ths mingling, jostling
crowd. To this csn only bs said, "evil to
him who evil thlnketh It hs brought
money here from the outside.
The carnival Is sn open question snd If
the people are sincere In wishing to elimi
nate It, the boord will be only too glad to
do so. It would save hurd work snd some
very unpleasant duties. Th report of the
secretary will show thst the cost of svery
membership has been over $ each when
you Include the expense of initiation, para
phernalia, refreshments, muslo snd the
ball. If members cost over (9 each there
is less thsn $1 profit to each membership,
so where is the money to come from for
the entertainment nf rnuntrv fHnri mtiatn
and parades? As the oro-nnltatlnn hns In
creased so have the expenses. What Ak-Sar-Ben
hes done for Omaha In the past
ten years Is too well known to require com
ment. I only hope the organisation will
be as successful In the ntt ten vnn
Ths applause which followed the elos of
th speaker's remarks fairly shook th
house. H. J. Pen fold read th financial re
port, which showed that th total money
on hand November 18, 1903, was U0.n9.16.
The disbursements were tl.796.29, leaving a

Th foregoing exiienses Include every
thing from dry goods and sheeting to cos

the ball. Considerable amusement was
caused by an item of $793.60 for "hustling
committee refreshments." The secretary
said ha could not tell whether the mem
bers laughed because they were In the deal
or because they did not share in the lunch.
This caused another outburst of laughter.
The receipts were $59,729, showing a bal

Romances of a Bachelor.
"I 'spect if I'm ever goln' to git married
I'd better be looking 'round for some girl
'for long," says Joseph II. Allen with a
laugh, as hs leans bsck In a rocker and
throws one leg Into a chair at his horn

"I've been on earth ninety years now,
and I've been proposin' and a-proposln',
but somehow I never found a girl yet that

"But when yer read nowadays how th

"Mind yer, I ain't puttln' my feet up

The first concert of th Musical Art so
ciety of Omaha, held at the First Baptist
church, was one of the most successful of
tho local musical events of the season,
measured either by the size of the audi
ence or the quality of the work. From the
first number to the last the soloists were
greeted with applause and the work of th
chorus was well received.
The concert opened with a suite for the
piano and violin by Qoldmark, Mrs. Crofoot
at ths piano and Frans Wilcsek violinist.
Th last movement of the suits was prob
ably the most popular with the audience,
but all three gave the artists an oppor
tunity to display the high quality of their
work.
The second number, a part song, "As
Torrents In Summer," was the first public
appearance of the society In unaccompanied
concert work, and those of their friends
In the audience who understood tho dis
ability under which they labored from this
fact were well pleased with the results.
The best work of ths society was in the
final number of the program, "Th Long
Day Closes," for by this time they had
lost soms of the "stage fright" occasioned
by lack of the instrument. In the first
number the singers were a little too strong
about the middle of the number, but soft
ened their tones before its close. "A la
ment," an Irish melody, was probably the
most popular of the work of the chorus,
while the "Hunting Song" showed that
ther Is still room for some Improvement in
chorus work.
Ths third and seventh numbers wer
violin solos by Mr. Wilcsek and In them
he carried his audience completely. Al
though encores were not generally per
mitted, h was compelled, in addition to
a "Romans.," th last movement of "Sym
phony Espanole" of the second and "Gipsy
Airs" of ths seventh, to render an an
dante, by Ooltermann, and a Spanish dam.-e,
by Sarasate. It would have been difficult
to have selected as short a selection which
would have displayed both th qualities of
the organ and the ability of the organist
better than the "March Funebre et Chant

From a Catholic Institution In Ohio comes th following recommend from th

"Some years sgs a friend of ear institution recommended to Dr.

Recently an Illinois woman gave a lec

was an Itinerant man of leisure.
When he asked for a "bite to eat," she
pulled up one siesve to show her scrawny
arm and small muscle, saying: "Look at
my arm and look at yours. Let me tell
you something: When In my childhood and
girlhood, 1 had less than the ordinary
vitality and went to school contrary to
the advice of our family physician. In
spite of a lack of health and plenty of
nothing but poverty I went to school.
"Mind you: I went to school, minded my
parents and trained myself to do some
thing. Now I am supporting aged, help
less parents as well as myself. It Is an
everyday ocourrence for a robust hulk of
a man to step up and ask for something
to eat. Sometimes I can't help wondering
How many of you had fewer opportunities
than I had."

One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use In so many homes Is that it
