Evidently disgusted and dishful ter.ed at
the Increasing and overwhelming; evidence
proving beyond doubt that hla clicnta 'are
professional blackmailers of indefensible
record, I. J. Dunn practically '"threw up
the sponge" yesterday afternoon and let hla
wards be. bound over from the police to the
district court. Thla time the charge wa
blackmailing; the first time, attempted
blackmail.
Dunn came to this conclusion after a pre
liminary hearing which consumed the en
tire morning In the police court. Again lie
and his wards, Morris 3. Algoe and wife,
refused to allow either of the pair to go
upon the witness stand and there stand
the searching Inquiry of a cross-examination,
such as Mr. . Rosewater had twice
cheerfully submitted to.
Judge Berka fixed the bonds at 1900 each
and bound . over the pair to the district
court on another penitentiary charge.
In the second chapter of the police court
history the fact w-is brought out even
more- strongly than In the first that the
blackmailing pair had laid their wires with
a premeditated determination to catch their
prey.
More LUht la Shed.
It was on the crovs-examinailim of lid- j
ward Rosewater by the Algoc advocate
that much was made light which might j
heretofore have been considered as some
Whit obscured. Uy the answers It was
made plain that the woman whom Alge
has evidently been using as his catspaw
wan persistent and unwearying in her pur
suit of Mr. Rosewater.
From the very first day that ahe pre
sented herself as a prospective tenant she
conducted herself in a manner to allay
possible suspicion. At no time in the
negotiations, as tho over-anxious attorney
brought out in sharp relief, did she drop
a hint of Impropriety, or make even tho
shadow of an advance that would serve to
put tho intended victim on his guard. After
she hud been told she could not gel the
cigar stand, and when she sard they were
both In very hard lines as to money and
lark of employment, she still persitcd. At
once a new excuse was laid hold of to con
tinue the conferences' with Mr. Rosewater,
until (he climax on the rainy 25th of April,
when the distressed (?) Algoe woman per
suaded him to confer with her at the
Murray hotel, where she was watting in
the door oi her room, after he had in
quired the way of a chambermaid openly
arid wIMout concealment.
' Was It a Mitnalf
' The county attorney put a question that
was in- the. minds of all listeners In the
court room. Was the partial closing of the
blinds a, signal? Maybe or maybe not.
Mra. Algoe also started for the elevator
to get some writing paper. On the way
she, passed a Washroom, where a man
jould, very easily be out of view, but in
rwclt'of a whispered word" or other sign.
The day was a very wet one. Vhen Algoe
suddenly knocked at the room door he
hud no umbrella, nor was he wet, so that
anyone could notice. There was no Indi
cation that he had been out of the hotel
ht "All. ,
ijavlng '; cornered v Mr. Rosewater and
helrt .hlni up to the extent oJ :'.', Ue pair
(fortr.aTtt ' holly"" to" follow the trail', and
showed clearly that they were working to
gether In the early.afternoon of the same
day Algoe walked Into the editor's prlvatw
efjlce and demanded 11,750 more. Ho talked
pt divorce and co-respondent. While. Algoe
was In Mr. Rosewater office making his
demand a letter was ptished under the
door which, when opened, was found to
be a craftily worded appeal signed. "Mrs.
M. I Algoe," couched In language to stir
the compassion and to arouse fear. In
the letter she declared she had no place
to sleep or est, had no money, and would
Mr. Rosewater please get Morris to forgive
her. And prior to this moment, aa Alcoa
later stated, she had been the recipient
from "dear Morris" of part of the $250
blackmail mmiey.
Repeals Story of Algoe'a Holdup.
On his direct examination County
Attorney Slabaugh had Mr. Rose
water go over again the story of hla deal
ing with the Algoes. The repetition did
not vary from the first recital. As in that
hearing, the cross-examination was again
, frlvbloue. The attorney for the blackmail

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
C. B. Harris nf Cialena Talks of tho
Great Progress that Marks
the Industry,
.C. B. Harris of Utilnna. who Is at the
Paxton, said last evening that the mining
business In the Rln k Hills Is In a very
prosperous condition. Mr. Harris Is the
manager of the Richmond Sitting Bull com
pany, which has produced upwards of
12,000,000 in gold and continues to be one
of tho fine properties In that country.
"Mining Is more and more each day be
coming the business of large syndicates, In
which the small taoitallst is not asked to
uartlclnate." said Mr. Harris. "This In
dicates that the conservative element, like
bankers and other moiited men, are coming
to recognise more and more that a legiti
mate mining Investment Is safe and pro
ntable. South Dakota ranked third last
year In the production of gold, and this
year we hope to make it second. B. It.
Harrlman. the railway king, owna several
thousand acres of mining lands In the
Black Hills and several of the richest
mines there. The financial troubles of Wall
street are turning the attention of In-
! vestors to mining propositions, and the
West Is going to get the benem or vau
street money during tho present year.
"The Black Hllla business men," Oon
tlnued Mr. Harris, "stmd hundreds of
thousands of dollars to Omaha wholesale
houses, and many of our mines are either
controlled or the stock largely owned by
Omaha men, and we find them progressive
and ever ready to assist In building up
the mining industry. Omaha has a smelt
ing plant which has been of Incalculable
benefit to the city, and It should be said
that It was through the efforts ' and
thorough business method of Edward W.
Nash that'the smelter has been made such
a notable success. It Is deplorable that
he should be stricken down as ho has been.
Indeed, a public benefactor and a man
whom the mining and smelting can Illy
afford to lose. I hope for his speedy re
covery." Mr. Harris will remain In Omala. glaring
tho balance of thla week and v,!l then
leave for the west.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH 0MA11A
Big Feed Mill Will Soon Be Under Process
of Construction,
ACTUAL WORK ON PLANT WILL START
M. C. Peters Takes Ip Land Held
tnder Option and Sorveyors Ar
at Work Settlna Stake for
Bnlldlnga and Tracks.
Within a short time the building of a
big feed-grinding mill in the northern part
of the city will commence. City officials
have been notified that M. C. Peter of
Omaha and those interested with him in
the stock food mill have taken up the
options they held on block V and block 16
and have secured the property. City En
glneer Deal, at the request of Mr. Peters
has set permanent Iron stakes about the
property purchased and the civil engineers
In the employ of the Burlington road have
run ft line of stakes along Twenty-ninth
street as far south as the south line of O
street.
The ordinance now before the council
vacating B street from Twenty-ninth
street west to Commercial street and the
alley from alley In block 16 from B
to C streets has been favorably reported
on, and will doubtless be passed at the
next meeting of the council. Just as soon
as the ordinance is passed by the council
and signed by the mayor work on the mill
la to commence. Those Interested In the
project assert that material Is being or
dered as well as machinery, and that when
a start on construction Is made the work
will be pushed. A single track Is to be
laid by the Burlington on the west side
of Twenty-ninth Btrect from A to D
streets.
In case other industries decide to locate
in the vicinity of the Peter mill It is
understood that tho city council will do
what it can towards arranging for track
age. Every one at all conversant with
South Omaha affairs knows that there
Is not now sufficient trackage to take care
of the railroad business being done here.
In addition to building this Twenty-ninth
street spur the Burlington Is making ar
rangements for additional tracks under the
new viaduct at Thirty-eighth and L street.
Business men appear pleased at the pros
pect of other industries aside from the
packing houses locating here. The valua
tion of taxable property will be Increased
and every new concern means the payment
of more taxes Into the city treasury.
Those Park Bonds.
Very few taxpayers realised when they
voted for city park bonds that the annual
levy would huve to be Increased consider
ably to pay for the maintenance of the
parks the city proposes to purchase.
In the first place it 1 planned to pay
120,000 for Syndicate park. Thla will con
sume one-half of the amount voted for
park purposes. Then there seems to be an
agreement that the Barrett and Doe prop
erty In the southeast portion of the city
will be bought and some of the Ryan tract
in Corrlgan addition. While no figures
have been presented to the council, in open
session, giving prices on the Barrett and
Ryan tracts, the idea prevails that the
council will pay about $10,COU each for
these pieces of acre property. The Bar
rett tract is about 2.0CO feet, according to
the city map, from the end of the Albright
car line and the Ryan property is Just
about tho same distance from a car.
Those who have looked into the matter
a little declare that it will cost the city
not less, than $16,000 to place these grounds
in shape for parks. This money will have
to be derived from taxation. Then comes
the annual cost of maintenance. Just what
this will be no one eeems able to figure
out, aa so far none of the city officials
have made any statement about the cost
of maintenance, A levy Is made each year
for maintaining Highland park, but this is
a small breathing space as compared with
the acreage In the parks the city proposes
buying with the money derived from the
bonds. So far no steps have been taken
to Issue these bonds, but the understand
ing is that this matter will be taken up
just as soon as the city hall bonds are out
of the war.
Copying; Old Ordinance.
Property owners on Lower N street do
not appear to be greatly discouraged be
cause of the placing on file of their pe
tition for the condemning of stock yards
property for the western terminus of an N
street bridge across the tracks. Since the
petition has been laid away those Inter
ested In property on Lower N street have
gone searching through the old ordinances
and found one. No. 28, passed In early
days, providing that the Union Pacific
shall build a depot at a point about sixty
feet north of N street. This old ordinance,
has been copied and ha been sent to at
torneys for the Lower N street property
owner, with a view to forcing the Union
Pacific to maintain ft depot In the vicinity
of Twenty-seventh and N streets. This
action Is taken because it Is feared that
when the Union Pacific fences Its track
It win erect a depot so as to connect with
the O street viaduct. Railroad official
here say that when the Union Pacific get
ready to fence it track and build a
new depot It will do so under the contract
ordinance It now ha with the city.
Police Find Stolen Plnnilrr,
Chief Brlggs nnd Captain Shields swooped
down on the house occupied by Joseph
Schmidt. Thirty-second and X streets, yes
terday afternoon and found a lot of prop
erty supposed to have been stolen. A
wagon was needed to convey the property

found were screen doors, doors, three sack
of laundry soap, toilet soap, shovels, tools
of various kinds, box lumber, etc.
Teople living In the vicinity of the
Schmidt house told the ehlef that Schmidt,
who Is not employed, was to be seen com
ing home late at night with a wheelbarrow
loaded with plunder. When the police made
the raid Schmidt waa not at home. Detec
tive Elsfelder and other officer are now

requested to call on Chief Brlggs at police
headquarters.

BUSYBODIES VS. TRUTH.
Here Are The Facts.
Judge For Yourself.
Busybodies who see in success only falsity, who, without
making an effort to inform themselves, blatantly cry offense
kgainst honesty and truth seem to forget that a slur against
Dr. Pierce's well-known non-alcoholic family remedies is a
slur against the intelligence of thousands of clear-thinking
American women who know they have been helped and
cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is not a
patent medicine" in the true meaning of the word it is
simply the favorite remedy which Dr. Pierce used in an
extended practice for the treatment of the diseases of women.
Truth and Influence.
A name for honesty
and square dealing is
better than great riches.
Fraud is a bubble that soon bursts. Dr. R. V. Pierce has
always been known to speak the truth his famous medi
cines are founded on the rock of public approval and have
thousands of truthful testimonials as to their ability to
cure diseases for which they are recommended.
bined in just the right proportion to make an efficient
remedy without the use of a particle of alcohol.
Non-Alcoholic.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion combines a non-alcoholic ex
tract from the following medicinal
plants scientifically prepared by experienced chemists at the
laboratory of the World's Dispensary Medical Association,
Buffalo, N. Y.
LADY'S SLIPPER (Cypripedium Pubesccns):
BLACK COHOSH (Cimicifuga Rjccusi).
UNICORN ROOT (Chaituclirium Luieum):
BLUE COHOSH (Cauhphyllum Thalictroidss);
GOLDEN SEAL (Hydrastis Canadensis):

Nature's Way.
True Speaking.
No man ever lost a prospec
tive customer through telling the
truth. In the long run Dr. Pierce
believes the truth will prevail and he is therefore not afraid
to make public his formula.
Valuable Trade Secrets.
The ingredients of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription are here
given to the public. He vindicates the excellence and
harmless character of his" Prescription "by letting the sick
and ailing women know just what they are taking when they
use this reliable tonic and nervine for the diseases and ill
nesses peculiarly feminine. These ingredients are corn-
King's American Dispensatory
says of Blue Cohosh (Caulophyl
lum. "This remedy is most val
uable to relieve irritation of the organs in debilitated patients.
It has an established reputation as a remedy for nervous
excitement due to those disorders peculiar to women as well
as for the relief of pain, with fullness, weight and pain in the
legs, debility, crampy pains, etc."
" Golden Seal is very useful in catarrhal states of the
mucous membranes."
" Black Cohosh or Black Snake-root Our early Ameri
can Indians set a high value on in the diseases of women. It
is surpassed by no other drug in congestive conditions of thi
parts where there are dragging pains and tenderness."
Lady's Slipper is "nerve stimulant and tonic, improving
both circulation and nutrition of the nerve centers favor
ing sleep and cheerful condition of the mind; of service
in mental depression, nervous headache, irregularities of
women with despondency."
Women should know that this
" Prescription" promptly heals inflam
mation and ulceration, stops weaken
ing drains and restores the health and vigor of youth. It
fits for wifehood and prepares for motherhood. It banishes
morning sickness and other discomforts of ante-maternity.
It makes " fresh, vigorous women." Read what one woman
out of many thousandshas said about the " Favorite Pre
scription" of Dr. Pierce:
"I suffered for more than seven
years with a complicated form of
female trouble accompanied with
nervous prostration. I wrote to Dr. Pierce, followed his
instructions, took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
now feel grateful to him for my restoration to health. I have,
within the past fifteen years, suggested and recommended
Dr. Pierce's treatment to hundreds of ladies with grand re
sults," writes Mrs. H. Harrison of 1 12 West Second Street
Sioux City, Iowa.

JURY SERVICE REAL DUTY
F. D. Wrg t rices Thla I pon Real
Katate Men Who Often
Make Eicuae,
That real estate men and business men
in general should be more willing to serve
on Juries was the drift of a talk made by
F. D. Wead at a meeting of the Omaha
Real Estate exchange.
"Jury service is all too often left to
those who do duty for the I'- a day which
they receive," said Mr. Wead, "and some
of them practice the Idea of giving to
those who have and taking away from
thoae who have not,"
The speaker thought that every man
ought to consider it hla duty to serve on
j Juries.
Ke'jent sales of property were discussed
by the exchange. E. A. Benson reported
that twelve lots of Bensonhurit had been
disposed 'of since that property had been
placed on sale Monday. A. P. Tukey &
Bon aaid that of the 144 lota which they
had bought on Halcyon Height tbey had
sold eighty-two. The matter of the ap
parent necessity for the enlargement ot
the court bouse waa discussed.
