n THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 12. 1903. LOBECK STARTS ON ARBOR DAY At That Time He Will Plant Hit Political Boom. TWO PLACES STILL IN MIND Whether to Release Ills Hallway ( oiw mlssloner Hee and Stick tn tiov rrnornhlj la the Question wllh Illm. Charles O. l.obcck, city comptroller, ha designated AVedn.d.iy, April 1'2. Arbor day, aa the day upon which he will plant hi gubernatorial buomlc t or ,dse, on that day ln will release tho wings of the railway commissioner bee which has been buizlng mora or less persistently the last few week In his bonnet. Tho ruling of the supreme court, whereby the office of county comp troller la held valid, haa decided Mr. T-obe K on this course. "Yoc we, I will le out of a job the lat ter part of May next year, when the city comptroller's office . la consolidated with that of tho county comptroller, and I have jrt to run for governor or railway commis sioner or something of the kind." said the comptroller. "We ore legislated out of bualness; this office will soon be but a. memory, and It la up to me to do something-." Ivobeck says he lias not herd from Oeorge Washington IWge In regard to his running for railway commissioner, as was reported several weeks ago, though he Is extremely reticent and leaves a person somewhat undecided aa to this certainty of the comptroller being a candidate for gov ernor. Tho governor's office pays but $2,500 a year, less than the salary of tho mayor of Omaha, and considerable "allow"' must bo kept up by the chief cxecuftve of the stale, a hard matter for a man who has not plenty of other means to fall back upon. The railway commissioner's offlca pays $3,000, and this official haa not got to be an ever present functionary on state oc casions. As tho comptroller says: "The railway commissioner can wear a hickory alilrt If he wants to, but tho governor must bo garbed In boiled linen and always wear a stand-up collar." "There Is a lot of bard work In store for a candidal for either office," My Ulw k, "and possibly it might b beat for a fel low to go to the mountains and spend hi time, but I am not going to take any Jaunt to the mountains, but will stay her and work out my own dostlny." And then visions of Mayor Jim's forthcoming bear hunt In the Rockies hove p sight. "In a couple of weeks, now, I will have something to say," says Lobeck, and In a couple cf weeks (another one of those strange coincidents among opposing polit ical candidates) Dalilman will be chasing the grlzxiiea In Wyoming. The governor's proclamation setting aside Arbor day as a day for planting of trees in Nebraska does not specifically mention gubernatorial boom let trees, but as the planting of ornamental trees and shrub bery como under Its provisions, Omaha's comptroller believes he will be committing no usurpation, though from the politician's standpoint It should not be Inferred that his Arbor day contribution will not be a fruit bearing plant. By legislative provision the office of the city comptroller will be consolidated in May, 1909, .with tho newly created office of county comptroller and the city of Omaha will pay the county of Douglas 17,000 per anuum for attending to Its share of the business.

One Pastor and Two Ctaareh Officers Rrnlgn aa Result of Henry Organisation. Th Christian Benevolent Association organised something like a year ago by Dr. W. O. Henry, has become a discordant element In soma of the local Presbyterian churches. Already, it Is said to have led to the resignation of one pastor and two cfiurch officials. When Preyytery meets In Tekamah, May 20, the "Chrlstaln Be nevolent Association" Is likely to be the subject of conslderable'discusslon and some action. A couple of weeks ago John C. Wharton and George F. Bidwell quietly resigned from the session of the First Presby terian church. Friday The Bee announced that Rev. J. B. Cherry would present his formal resignation to his congrega tion at the Third Presbyterian church Sunday morning. In both cases the In fluence of th "Christian Benevolent As sociation" la said to be responsible. Th Third church was primarily a mis slon ot th First church and Dr. Henry, i member of th First church, was sctlv In the affairs of the mission. Later th mission became an independent organisa tion and Mr. Cherry became Its pastor. Ho has accomplished great results there. enlarging the membership In numbers and activity and Improving the church physically. But. while Mr. Cherry de clines to make a statement for publication, h is sala to have been unwilling for his struggling church to assume the bur den of maintaining a branch of the Chris tlsn Benevolent Association, since the ad vantages to the church were not so ap parent as the disadvantages and ex pense. ,. , Members and pastors of other Presbyter Ian churches are equally averse to Incor porating or adopting the Christian Benevo lent Association. Mr. Bidwell and Mr. Wharton are said to be of that mind. Agents whom Dr. Henry has at various times sent to solicit for his Institution diaclalm that it Is a pure and simple money making scheme, though admltjlng It possesses an optional Insurance plan, which naturally would entail some little expense to those patronizing It.

Judge Sears asked . Iiim If he was guilty or not guilty. "1 make a motion to quash the charge, " said Fee, ignoring the question, "because It would be impossible to blow up a bank with a bottle of water." Judge Sears explained he was not charged with blowing up the bank, but with making threats to secure money. "It was all a Joke, Judge," he said. "I took It that way. I don't believe Mr. Drake wanta to prosecute me at all." "Mr. Drake has nothing to do with this except as a witness,"' replied th court. "If he tried to stop the prosecution h might find himself up here." Fe finally pleaded not guilty and th I court appointed Sidney W. Smith to de tend Iiim.

JEWELER HAS FIFTY FITS Parisian Woman Sold Valuable Neck . lace for a Song. RECEIVED GENUINE BY MISTAKE All Traee of Barer Lost When the Learai of Valae of Gems and Returns Them of On Aceotd, PARIS. April 11. (Speclsl.)-Th Joy of a woman who, through the blunder "bt a clerk in a Jewelry store, Is able to buy a 160,000 pearl necklace for 120 must be In tense. But It la only a circumstance to the sorrow of the employer of the clerk whose Innocence made the mistake possible. Luck ily for the Jeweler (and the clerk), the woman who purchased the string of precious stones was honest when put to this severe test and returned them when she discovered that a most amatlng mistake had been made. A story like this deserves to take Its placo side by side with the one that tells ot the buying of Manhattan Island for a paltry 114. It is mora Incredible to present-day readers. Tet It Is Just as true, for this comedy, which came very near being a tragedy. Involving as it did the possible ruin ot th Jeweler, has Just been enacted here. Mme. iRochelle, the wife of a prosperous lawyer, wishing to purchase a high-class imitation pearl necklace for herself, re paired to a, well-known establishment In th Ru du Louvre. Now It so happens that this same store la patronised by the rich and the titled who wish clever Imitations ot their famous jewels made for public: wear. This Is a common practice, some owners of magnificent collections going so far as to have every stone in their posses sions duplicated In paste. Ilassltta Princess There. Among the customers In this way of the store was a famous Russian princess, whose pearls are thu talk of Pan, where she re sides, and the friends. of Mme. Rochelle to the store the titled customer had left to be Imitated a rftr.ng of rare pearls valued at IT0,000. In getting It together, dealers In Paris had been running their legs off for months and when it was finally delivered to its owner, it was pro nounced worthy o take Its place beside other almost priceless necklaces worn on royal throats. Til proprietor of the store Into whose hand the Russian princess hsd delivered this valuable necklace placed It In on of the eafds. along with several Imitation strings, but on a separate shelf. Ho did not, however, speak to any of the assistants about Its presence there. 80 when Mmi, Rochelle entered and aked to sec a num ber of necklaces, among the other strings brought from the. safe for her Inspection ws the one of the real pearls belonging to the Russian princess. Now this wifu of a French lawyer was n Judge of pearls. It'is safe to say that she would not be able to tell the difference be. tween a real Jewel and the imitations sold by this excellent store In the Rue du Louvre. Yet It did not take her very long departed, leaving behind no clue to her Identity. A few days later, at a dinner party, she wore the necklace for the first time. Sev eral of the guests admired It, but most of them concluded, knowing Mme. Rochelle's circumstances In life, that It was a very clever Imitation of the real article. Finally one who knew more about Jewels than the ordinary man In the street, remarked upon Its beauty, saying: "It must be worth at least 200,000 francs." "Oh, no," replied Mme. Rochelle, laugh ing at the idea. "As a matter of fact, 1 bought it not many days ago and only pnid 100 francs for It." "But I assure you," the man persisted, "that It Is worth much more than that. I know something about stones myself and em certain I am right. However, I have a friend here who Is a connoisseur of pearls and he will know at once." He accordingly fetched his friend who, after examining the necklace, confirmed his friend's opinion that the pearls wero real ones and of great value. Meanwhile, In the ltue du Louvre, tho proprietor and his unfortunate assistant were having fifty varieties of convulsions. They never expected to see Mme. Rochelle again end the proprietor was making prep arations for putting up the shutters and closing the business out, for If he was com pelled to pay the Russian princess for her lost necklace he would not only be ruined financially for the time being, but he would lose all his titled customers thereafter. He determined, however to keep the matter a secret until the princess demanded her necklace back and he hardly took his eyes off the door dreading as he did a call from that Individual. The day following Mme. Rochelle's dinner party, with many sighs and regrets, '.hat estimable woman packed up the beautiful pearls and repaired to the store in the Rue du Louvre. Immediately she stopped In side the door the proprietor and several of the assistants rushed excitedly towards her. L Imagine their surprise and Joy when phe held out the package towards tneni ana an nounced that she had brought the pearls back. ' REL.IGIUIS !OTtS. Fanny Crosby, the hymn writer.
