OF I: BIG SUIT Wife Says Relations With Gering Have Been All Right Says It Is Blackmail. From Nut unlay' Dully. The llcibnan-OcriiiK suit is a xubjcrl that is still taking up much space in Ihe Omaha papers. This is due to the fact that (ier Ing is one of the most prominent men in Omaha, and because the unit is for such a large amount, L'5,(Mill. The articles run in the Journal about the affair have all been copied from Omaha papers. The Journal has endeavored to give its readers both sides of the case, and have clipped Ihe articles with that idea in view. Benjamin Hcdman. a Union Pa cific brakeman, is suing Henry H. Oering for $25,000 for alleged alienation of bis wife's affections. Friday's World-IIerabl bad an Interview with Mrs. Redman in which she called her former hus band a blackmailer. Today Hie World-Herald , gives Medman's side of the case. Parts of each article follow, the first, being from Friday's World-Herald: "A case of blackmail." "Former husband always in sanely jealous." "Wouldn't even pay $5 per month alimony for his own baby." "Wants to get some money now without, working." "Charges groundless." These were some of the expres sions used by I. aura M. Ilcdman Thursday when asked for n state ment. "There is absolutely nothing to Ihe suil except a desire on the part of my former husband to get money and hurt me," said Mrs. Redman, who is living with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Oeorge H. flrillln, who ' live nt 518 South Twenty-sixth avenue. "As a marriedwoman my life was absolutely beyond any such charges as he tries lo make. Ho was always insanely jealous and mean, and (hat's why I had lo leave him. "When he was on Ihe mad dur ing our married life, I can prove thai I had a girl friend stay with me every night he was gone. "Since I secured my divorce I have a perfect right to keep com pany with whom I choose, and I have kepi company with Mr. Ccr lng for more than a year. He is a gentleman and it is none of my former husband's affair." Today's World-Herald, which Rives lledman's side of the case, is in part as follows: "I will emphatically prove that I am not a blackmailer, also thai I haven't been asleep for Ihe past I wo years," declared Henjamin Redman. Union Pacillc brakeman, who made his rst statement con cerning his s'.Ti.OOO suit against Henry II. Cering for alleged alienation of his wife's affections Friday. "There is absolutely no truth t Ihe statement that i offered lo settle for -jnn." continued Red man. "As a matter of fad. I will settle thai suit for '.:. ono and not one cent less. wish the rase were lo be tried next week. "My attorneys did offer to set tle for a substantial amount at BOTH REDMANS TALK $50,000 for Aviator who Makes Hill ei if they tin lint Come by way of tlir liui liiiutnii Plalls niniith people ran go to Omaha or l.iiienln In sec any nf the avialnrs lha( may touch those cities in their flight.

Alwnod, the aviator, a few days atro broke the world's record for continued flight when he made Ihe lri from St. Louis to New Ynrk, which is only about a third of the distance across the continent. Avialnrs in their (lights must follow river and railroads to keep from getting lost. This may cause some who wish to take the soul hem mule to go down the Missouri river from Omaha to the point where they wish to set oul. across the west. nne time, but it, was thousands and not hundreds." The brakeman was asked lo tell why he has waited nearly three years before f i 1 i n tr suil, when be had Ihe alleged fads on which it was based in bis possession at time suil, for divorce was filed In l!08. He explained this by say ing thai he has been endeavoring lo effect a reconciliation.

"I was nearly broken up when 1 learned that n messenger had carried a letter from another man to my wife and she had covered it up. When the messenger brought that letter there was a detective called In to investigate and the whole nfTair came lo light. "When my wife came home and f charged her with secretly cor responding with f.ering and ar ranging for a meeting, she at first denied everything and then she began to cry and said something nboul Ins having money while I was fioor."

Wescotf's REAL ESTATE VERY ACTIVE JOST AT PRESENT Many Transfers Being Made and the Price Seems to Be Look ing Up a Trifle. The cily of I'lallsiiioulh has once more lost, its golden oppor tunity lo secure a good and per manent home for its officials at a must reasonablep rice, in the sale of the old Patterson building on Pearl street. The deal was closed this morning, whereby Mr. V. V. Leonard becomes the owner of this properly at exactly Ihe same figures that the building was offered to the city. The proposition of purchasing a city building has been up before the council for some time, and many members of that body have been greatly in favor of the move ment, and have exerted every effort to that end without avail, while the others have seemed to work against the movement, while not very active, they had a great deal to do with the matter in delaying if, for what reason they alone probably know. We are not attempting to tell the "cily dads" what. they ought to do, for 'we only have the one voice among many, but it does seem to us as though the nrice for which they were offered this building it. would certainly beat paying rent, be more profitable in the end, beside giving them much more comfortable rooms, ft, is rue it. would reipiire some outlay of money in placing the building in proper condition, but nothing compared with the benefits that would be received from the pos session of their own honied The members of Ihe council certainly cannot hope to secure a building ror less money than the same properly will bring from the private individual, and when Mr. Leonard purchases the building at Ihe same figures, he can cer tainly see where there is some profit in it for Mr. Leonard and was a bargain. Those members of the council that have been in strumental in delaying the pur chase have certainly made a grand mistake, as thev will never n train j have such an onnortnnitv nro. sented to them. Among the other real estate changes that have taken place within Ihe past few days was the transfer of the two lots just west of the Journal office, Mr. V. V. Leonard selling the same to H. M. Soennichsen, w hom, we are in formed, will some time in the near future place thereon a good, sub stantial building, J . i Visits With His Sister. From Saturday's Dally. Mrs. T. I Wit to and children of Heloit, Wis., who 'have been visiting with the former's sister, Mrs. F. J.

F.d ward. departed this morning for a few days' visit with friends and relatives in (irinnell, Iowa. Ihe old home of Mr. Hailey. They were accompanied ns far as Omaha bv O. V. Hailey.

Askwith and the members of the Masonic home have asked the Journal to stale that they are very thankful for the delightful concert given at the home last evening by the Htir lington band. The thoughtfulness of the band in going there de serves commendation. THE PERFORMANCE OF "HURTING THE HAMMER" A Suggestion Worthy of Attention Right Here in Our Own Community. The town of Fnid, Oklahoma, recently secured widespread pub licity for a clever symbolical per formance of "Burying the Ham mer." A mammoth hammer was put into the ground as a symbol of the spirit of dissension and criticism that had interfered wilh the progress of the town.- This little performance has a suggestion worthy of attention right in our own community. The faculty of criticism is too easy. U is one much affected by men o mediocre character. A man lack ing Ihe slightest constructive ability often makes very just criticisms. It takes a Shakespeare to write a great play, but a cub reporter might go to see Ihe thing and find some real flaws that the greatest of dramatists failed to discover. Usually this spirit, of criticism is a mere dead weight on the eomniuriily. , disheartens those who have the power of leadership, and it fails to substitute anything better for the faults complained of. If some local enterprise is proposed that is in the main good, but has a few flaws, some men can see only the faults and utterly overlook the benefits of the thing as a whole. If we want our town lo advance, let us criticise plans for public betterment only when some de finite amendment can be made by such criticism. CHORE ENGINE AT INESI HUB Plattsmouth and Its Engine Will Get Much Advertising All Over the State. J. A.

Her many friends will be pleased to learn that the operation was successful and that she is now on the road lo recovery. Soared Tom Patterson. Nehawka didn't win anything at the opening games or Ihe Platts mouth tennis tournament in the way of trophies, but Itud Hall nearly scared Tom Patterson, the Cass and Mills county champion lo death by almost winning the Tuesday morning singles from him. Dave West and Hud won in 1 ne doubles Ihe same morning. They report the meet a success and believe if there was some way to treat the hookworm that seems to be devastating the local talent they could take a team out of here that would come mighty near cleaning up the next series.
