Rev. Edward Frederick Trefx, formerly
pastor of Kountaa Memorial Lutheran
church of Omaha and later of tha Flrat
Congregational church of Blngliamton, N.
T . is in Omaha on a visit.
"I wa mental and physical wreck and
hud to quit tbs pulpit,- aaid Mr. Trefa.
I had a bad case ot nerves and Just left
off all mjr church affairs and departed
from Bingtiamton suddenly. I went down
on the AUantic const, for three, months,
out railed to secure tha relief I antici
pated, and then went to the home of my
people in Springfield. O.. where my brother

said he could prescribe a course of treat
ment that would restore me and I planed
myself In hla handa. He put me to work
setting up reapers that ba sold out on tha
farma. and Uiia did ma great good.
would ret up at i:S0 In the morning and
go to work at a, and got ao I could cat
well, and tor the first time in a long
while, sleep at least six hour a night.
Cut I cannot think of going back t3
the pulpl. now. at least. I tried preach
ins only last Sunday. 1 delivered two
sermons and it upset my nerves. I could
not sleep any that night. I hare not de
cided on my future, 1 am here Just look'
lng around."
tlreamataaees of Hla Leaving.
It will be recalled that Mr. Trefz left
tha churcn and Binghamlon very sud
denly. It also will be recalled that In
sinuating Ltatemenis regarding his rela
tions with certain female members of his
congregation, one In particular, were
mad. In reference to this affair he aaid:
"Some of my friends have urged me to
resort to legal procedure as a means of
vindicating myself against the story pub
lished In an Omaha, paper that I was main
taining separata apartments from my
some In a flat In Binghampton. but it is
not my desire ot purpose to rrecipltste
snything of this kind. I do not care to
' jrroject myself Into the courts.
"The fact la. I never was much of a
financier. At Binghamton I realised this
defect more than ever. The first thing 1
knew my financial affairs got Into an un
prosperous condition and I could not
strajgbten them out. This weighed upon
me, as it might upon any man In my call
ing and mental and physical state.. With
all these troubles I simply decided I
could endure things there no longer and
left. That is all there is to it."
Mr. Trefs took occasion last night, after
the Daily News got on the streets, to tele
phone The Bee office and say:
"1 desire to state that I did not tell the
Daily News or any one else that I was
gcring'in the insurance business In Omaha.
1 am not going to do anything of tha kind."
nvn. No blame for tr, rr.sn s oeatn ws

ENCHANTMENT PROVES A HIT
Fairyland speetarle at Aadlterlaas
aa Eatertalameat Worthy of
Ita Object.
Several hundred of Omaha's children
amused the public at the Auditorium last
night with the brilliant fair)' land sjiectacle.
Enchantment." and the public was more
than delighted with the vivid display of
colors, the sweet child voices and the
wonderful exhibition of graceful move
ments. It was a veritable fairyland, in
deed, and peopled with the characters of
tha "Midsummer Night Dream,'" Titania
Oberon, Puck. The trend of Shakespeare's
play was not followed, for J. Edgar Owen.
the author of the Idyl and the director of
its presentation, has found something far
better suited to the talents of the little
folks. The sction centers about the scepter
of Quean Titania, which is given by Oteron
to Puck and used by him for purposes of
enchantment. It Is stolen from Tuck by
Moth, but in the end is restored to the
queen.
The prominent parts were admirably done
Ethel Dovey of Flattsmouta tonk the rol
of Titania, queen of the fairies. She ap
peared in two solos, "So Sad a Queen"
and "Where Is the Scepter?" Her voice
Is a singularly clear soprano and the re
gret was that the audience did not have
the opportunity of bearing It oftener. Miss
Ruth Brandeis. a personification of grace
as the queen of tba flowers, led her beau
tifui subjects through bewildering dances.
Little Gladys Chandler, the queen of the
butterfllea, was an object ot admiration to
everybody. Scarcely more than a baby
rosy cheeked and chubby, she sang like a
born mistress of opera, and her words
could le beard distinctly far back In the
big hall. She appeared In several sojos
nd was warmly applauded. Louise Ben
nett was the famous Fuck. As possessor
of the scepter she was the life of fairy
land, together with Moth, the Miller, who
was himself a Jester. The dialogues be-
weer. the two were a pleasure, as the
,-oices were well modulated and could be
heard distinctly.
The production was a succession of dia
logues, solos, duets, choruses, drills and
dances of various kinds. Two little solo
dancers. Mildred Vivian Wertz and Corinne
Beatrice Klein, made beautiful pictures as
they kicked and whirled agalr.st a back
ground of gorgeous color afforded by the
costumes of birds, butterflies, flowers, court
ladies and cavaliers, fairies, guards, grass
hoppers, crickets and gnomes. The final
scene Is In Queen Tltania's court, festooned
with leaves and flowers. Titania stands on
a platform high above her subjects and
final chorus they sing "Good Night."
The idyl was presented for the benefit of
the Creche. It will be given again Friday
eight and Saturday matinee. The audience
last night was much smaller than was de
served by a production of such merit. It is
expected that Saturday will be a big day
f,or the children and hundreds of them will
come to see the play at the Auditorium
then.
Following is the cast of the principal
characters:
Titania, queen of the fairies
Miss Ethel C. Dovey
Florine, queen of the flowers
Miss Ruth Brandeis
Airie, queen of the butterflies
Miss Gladys Chandler
Prince Olieron. the royal consort
Fred C. Havnes

WEALTH MADE FROM WASTE
Mlllloaalre'a Advice to Those Who
Plae for a Boadle of the
Wherewith.
"Study waste products If you would get
rich," said a millionaire. "Find some way
of utilizing a waste that Is now deemed
worthless. Set up a little plant, buy in
your waste tor a few cents a ton and ex
tract from each ton a dollar's worth of Iron
or aoap or silk or romethlng. Then you
will soon be rolling in money.
"There was onre a poor man who made
soap. A by-product of the soap business
was In his day a thick, slrupy, oily liquid
that ran off from the soap kettles into
the sewers by hundreds of gallons daly,
for It was. you see, considered valueless.
But the poor man converted this elrury
liquid into glycerine. He could get ail
he wanted of the liquid for nothing and he
could sell it, reflned by distillation, for S
cents a pint. He gave up soapmaking.
He became a glycerine maker solely. Soon,
too, he became a millionaire.
"Coal tar, the thick, blacV fluid that used
to be left over from gasmaking, was once
thrown away. Today there Is no limit to
the things that coal tar gives us. It gives
us saccharine, which Is ninety times sweeter
than sugar. It gives us scores of bril
liant aniline dyes. It gives us two of our
most beneficent medicines, antl-febrlne and
antl-pyrlne. It gives us benzine, naphtha,
creosote and carbolic acid. And each of the
men who. looking Into the ugly and vile
depths of this coal tar fluid, found there
a thing of value, became rich.
"Poor men become rich not by following
the old, beaten, crowded roads, but by
striking out new roads for themselvea
Over the marshes of the world's waste it
is possible, believe me, to strike out many
an easy and short cut to the city of suc
cess." Chicago Chronicle.

The body of John H. Plata, who was
found Wedneilay noon on Ames avenue
dying from the effects of a self-inflicted
raior wound across his throat, was taken
to Lincoln Thursday afternoon for inter
ment. Ths funeral service will tie held
Saturday afternoon at the Plats residence.
25 8 street. E. L. Plats of this city, son.
and Miss Nellie Flstz of Lincoln, the eld
est daughter of the deceased, accompanied
the body to Lincoln. Inasmuch as the
family of the deceased and the coroner are
satisfied Mr. Plats killed himself, and as
ths family wished to avoid further pub
liclty that an Inquest might give, no In
quest was held, although It was announced
Wednesday that an Inquest would be held
Thursday morning. Members of the Plats
family are still ignorant of the motive
that prompted Mr. Plats to draw tha
razor across his throat.
All of the packing house superintendents
In South Omaha declare that they are In
need of experienced help. After the strike
last summer a great many old packing
house men left South Omaha and secured
employment elsewhere. A great many of
the rrwn who came here during and after
the strike have drifted away and there Is
really a scarcity of experienced packing
house workmen. Superintendents say that
every morning enough men and boys show
up at the plants and ask for work, but
they are either Inexperienced or too young
The result, Is that some of the old-timers
are getting in almost full time and in some
Instances overtime.
No ffort is being made as far as known
to secure the return to this city of sny 01
the experienced men who left here during
and after the strike. The busy season at
the stock yards and packing houses ts com
ing on. and before long the demand for
men will be greater than it Is now. In
some quarters the prediction is made that
when rush times arrive the packers will
Increase the wage scale temporarily in or
der to secure experienced help. As far as
this talked of increase in pay Is concerned,
the superintendents declare that there Is
nothing in it. They assert that when the
time arrives there will be an abundance of
help, but Just where this help Is to corns
from they do not stste.
Reports from other parking centers indl
cate plenty of skilled help, but in South
Omaha there Is a scarcity of extwrlenced
packing house men.
Files Motion atarday.
A. H. Murdock' has announced that on
Saturday of this week he will file a mo
tion in the district court asking that the
city hall bond case be advanced on the
calendar. The attorney expects to show
that the bidders for these bonds are being
held back by the delay cf the courts in giv
ing a decision as to the legality of the
Issued. In case the courts decide against
the city of South Omaha In this bond case
Mr. Murdock states that he is prepared to
go to the supreme court at once so that a
final decision may be given as soon as pos
sible. Fireworks Healers Annoyed.
South Omaha dealers in fireworks are
considerably put out by reason of the ac
tion of the police board In prohibiting can
non firecrackers, blank cartridges and other
high explosives. Most of the local dealers
have taken the prohibited goods from their
show windows and shelves and will return
these goods to the jobbing houses. Chief
Briggs promises that he will strictly en
force the orders of the police board on
July S and 4. and will cause the arrest of
all persons found using giant crackers or
blanks In revolvers. Every- effort will be
made to prevent accidents.
stork Yards Case Today.
It is expected that General Manager Ken-
yon and one of the stock yards company's
attorneys will appear before the Board of
Review trday to explain why the assess
ment for 3905 made by Tax Commissioner
O'Neil should not be increased to a sum
equal with the county assessment. Mr.
Kenyon called on the members of the
Board of Review after being served with a
notice and signified bis willingness to ap
pear at the time set. Only a few minor
complaints were heard by the board yester
day. Vnder the law the board must com
plete its labors by midnight Saturday. Vntil
the board completes its labors there Is no
tellinp what the total valuation will be.
Dull Times Asrala.
Merchants In South Omaha are again
complaining of dull times. All the present
week there has not been much trade and
the last two days very little has been doing
at the stores. The streets, even in the
middle of the day. are almost deserted.
Some say that the dullness is caused by so
many South Omaha people going to Chicago
lately, while others declare that residents
of the Magic City sre doing a great deal of
their purchasing In Omaha.
Car Thieves Boand Over.
William Kane, Ed Gurness and William
Kaloney were tried In follce court Thurs
day afternoon on the charge of breaking
Into freight cars and stealing merchandise.
All three were held to the district court In
the sum of K00. An additional complaint
Is to 1 filed today against Gurness for
breaking into a Vnlon Pacific car one night
not long ago and stealing twenty-one hats.
The local police force, along with railroad
detectives, have been rutting In consider
able time lately locating this gang and
some of the stolen plunder. It Is thought
now that with three of the rang in the
county jail the depredations will cease.

GIRL PINES FOR POLICEMAN
Toaazc Womaa Waats to Harry Mia-
loa of law. Oae of Whosa
the Tried.
Miss Louisa Macklin wants to marry an
Omaha policeman or detective.
She delivered this ultimatum yesterdsv
afternoon to Police Matron Etta Anderson
in the presence of several press represen
tatives, and. apparently, the young woman
is quite sincere in making known her de
signs on the unmarried portion of Omaha s
"finest."
Miss Macklin is IT years of age and is
possessed of certain personal charms such
as. it is believed, will cause some police
man to capitulate. Miss Macklin s father
was formerly a detective, ans on January
I. last, the daughter married Jacob Zentz.
one of the policemen at Courtland beach.
8he says she left Zentz sfter four months
of married life and since then has been
using her maiden name.
The Macklin family, father, mother and
daughter, have been recentng aid for the
last few days at the police station. The
woman is 0b years of age. while the father
Is some years older. The family originally
came from the hills of North Carolina, but
for some years have been living at Odebolt
and Ida Grove. la. Tfcey came to Omaha
In straightened circumstances, but with
much willingness to take the first work
that came to hand. The father started to
work Thursday morning and hopes to be
sMe to get his trunks out of the Council
Bluffs transfer station in a day or so.
RESULTS CFEXAM!NATIONS
Oateosae of Tests for Teachers' Cer
tlarates to Be Disclosed
In Jaly.
The examination of candidates for cer
tificates to teach in the Omaha schoc Is
just closed was a record breaker In point
of the number taking the tests, there
being fifty-two In all. Of these nine took

four for kindergartens and the remainder
for the primary and grammar grades. An
nouncement of the results will be made

cation on the first Monday In July.
PICNIC FOR THE LITTLE ONES
Ontlag Given at Besnta Park hy the
Yolo steers, Mrs, J. H. Shag-art
ervlng Refreshments.
Some fifteen or twenty children, unused
to such an outing, are being entertained
Thursday afternoon at Bemls park with a
picnic. The affair is given by the American
Volunteers, who gathered the children up
from humble homes. Ice cream and cake
in abundance were served the picnickers
at the home of Mrs. J. H. Shugart, S309
Myrtle avenue, at her expense.
Elephant Bnee at Manawa.
Few events in Omaha have attracted the
unusual attention that the aquatic per
formance by Carl Hagenberk's herd of
sixteen elephants that will be given at
4 p. m. Sunday in Lake Manawa Is enlist
ing, and, if calculations' are correct, over
60.0C people will witness the exciting and ,
novel exhibition, which admittedly is a
sight of a lifetime. An elephant race, some
thing heretofore unheard of in the west,
is the feature of the program announced
by Lee Williams that is attracting most
attention A prize of flO has been offered
by Manager Byrne of Manawa, who en
gaged the Hagenbeck show, to the Cin
galese rider who brings his elephant across
the line winner and, this amount being
considered a very large sum by these na
tive Cingalese, a desperate contest is as
sured. The elephant Is a powerful swim
mer and loves the water.
The management of the street railway
company is making special preparations
to handle the people. The old power house
east of the river will be started up to re
inforce the new plant and every' spare
car will be placed on the Manawa line,
it being desired to arrange a service that
will accommodate a travel of from 12,000
to 15.000 people an hour.

An unpleasant condition of personal af
fairs la th cjiy clerk s office hsd its
culmination Thursday morning In the in
definite suspension of Mist Naomi F
Scl.erick. Journal clerk, under charges of In
subordination by Sam Simonson, who it
acting as city clerk during W. H. El
bourns absence from the city. Miss
Schenck has been an attache of the clerk s
office nearly eleven years and Is one of
the highest salaried clerks st the city
hall, receiving t a month.
When City Clerk Elbourn left last week
for New Tork to see how Paul Morton

flam Simonson, his chief clerk, sitting on
the lid. calculating that six feet of bone
and brawn made in Sweden could do it re
gardless of the fact that the clerk t office
Is the well defined permanent storm center j
at the city bail. Simonson did the Taft act
successfully for Just about two days, and
then he felt like telegraphing for help.
A dispute started regarding the way docu
ments emanating from the office should
be signed. Miss Schenck contending that
Elboum's name should be used, with the
initials of the chief clerk. Before Elbourn
left, however. It was nrreea among Simon
son, the legal department and Elbourn that
Simonson should sign as deputy and acting
city clerk This was the way the city at
torneys said It should be done.
Miss 9rheark's Ylew of It.
Miss Schenck held that Simonson never
had been ag ; Ir.ted deputy or filed his
bend as required by the new charter and
was therefore Ineligible to assume official
charge of the office personally. She at
tempted to Instruct the young woman
stenographer in the office to work accord
ing to this view and put the latter in a
quandary as to a bom she should obey.
The situation became acute. Miss
Schenck went home Friday and did not
return to work until Wednesday morning,
and the matter became the talk of the
city ball. Monday afternoon a number of
councilmen waited on Simonson and asked
him to discharge Miss Schenck, whom they
accused of being the constant originator Of
personal, petty squabbles at the city hall.
Councilman Back telephoned to her threat
ening to send a policeman to bring her to
the city hall if she did not produce certi
fied checks filed by paving contractors,
which she had locked up. These checks
were handed over. Wednesday morning
Miss Schenck appeared to write the coun
cil Journal, but the irlction with the acting
eitv rierlt increased. Thursday she was
dismissed as soon as she came to the office.
At first she declined to recognize Simon-
son's authority, but yielded after a wordy
altercation.
According to her acquaintances at the
city hall. Miss Schenck Is In a highly
nervous condition and needs rest and a
vacation. City Clerk Elbourn will return
about Saturday and his first duty will be
to arbitrate the case. Miss Schenck having
declared that either she or Simonson will

Ferris Mock Compaay at the Boyd.
Last night the Ferris Btosk company at
the Boyd offered "Moths of Society," a
play based on Ouida s powerful novel,
"Moths." The play follows the book as
closely as may be done, preserving the
thread of the story perfectly and giving the
Intensely dramatic scenes and Incidents in
coherent order. It tells the story cf a
worldly mother who sn-riflces her daugh
ter that she may retain her place in-the
artificial society of which she is a member
and incidentally offers some strong con
trasts in character. Miss Pavey plays the
role of Vera Herbert with the zeal born
of Interest and makes it most attractive.
Miss Carmontelle as Iady Dolly, the selfish
mother, whose morality is second to her
comfort, is also good. Miss Curry has a
small part which she does very well, and
Miss Church is quite attractive In her role.
Mr. McKee is clever, as usual, and Mr.
Beebe did a splendid bit of work as the
singer. Mr. Boat wick and Mr. Dowlan
