CHILDREN RESCUED
FROM
Dr. Q. W. Todd's Little Ones Are
' Dragged to Safety in the
Nick of Time.
Tin; ful lowiiiK account of what
came near being a very tragic lire
appeared in tin; Omalia Itce of
yesterday. Dr. (J. W. Toil. I, al
whose home the (lit! occurred, is a
former resident, of this city ami
a son of tin; late Mr. K. II. Todd.
The doctor was here yesterday
visiting his brothers and reports
that tin' lillli! lots escaped un
hurt, which was a source (if ureal
joy to tin' parents. Tim loss to
the house and contents will
amount to quite a sum :
In response to a telephone call
that burglars were trying to break
into Hie residence of Dr. (!. W.
Todd, fin 17 Capitol avenue, David
r.lirnriech ami Louis Sonuuers
rushed into the house and found
l.hi! two small children of Dr. and
Mrs. To. i cuddled up in hed in an
upstairs room asleep, enveloped
in a mass of llames. They
rescued tin children from the
burning house before they were
burned. ,
The children had been left in
the care of a neighbor girl 12
years of age, while their parents
went out for Hie evening. Short,,
ly after l o'clock, after they had
been put to sleep, Hie girl beard a
noise near one of the windows.
Ilelicving burglars were endeavor
jug lo break into Hie bouse, she
rushed downstairs and telephoned
lo Mrs. J. 1. Jensen, Dr. Todd's
mother. in. law. Mrs. Jensen
telephone Khrnreich and SOin
iners at their grocery store a few
Mocks from the Todd residence,
and said burglars were breaking
into the bouse.
Armed with revolvers they hur
ried to the Todd residence. The
girl met them at a door and told
them the thieves were upstairs.
They found the bedroom afire. The
bed clothes were burning, but the
(lames had not, reached the chil
dren. The lire was caused by an over
heated furnace. When the (ire
began breaking through the wall
the girl thought, someone was
trying to enter the house. Tl
residence was damaged to Ihe ex
tent, of 8:mo.
The Omaha fire department was
called out, but before it reached
the scene neighbors bad the fire
under control.
GREATEST OF ALL PLAYS
"BOUGHT AND PAID FOR"
The Omaha M if this morn
ing, in a lengthy criticism of
"nought and Paid For," which
opened at Ihe Krandeis theater in
Omalia last night for a four
nights' engagement, speaks in the
highest, praise of the excellency
of the company that is presenting
the great play. The Itce is not
much in the line of (lattery, but
when a company is worthy of it it
is not slow in saving what it
thinks of Ihe production, and its
endorsement of the company
speaks well for Hie show. The
cast embraces all those who ap
peared in the original New York
production and includes those
two stars of the American stage,
Miss Julie Heme and Charles
Millwanl, both of whom have ap
peared in some of the greatest
successes thai, have appeared on
the stage jn recent years. Thi
company appears al the Parmele
next Saturday night and they
should have a packed house, as
this is one of the greatest plays
that has been staged in years, and
the company is composed of (lit;
top-notch actors and actresses.

And Cornelius said, 'Now there
fore are we all here before Cod, to

The ladies of St. Mary's Cuild
of SI. Luke's church closed a most
successful market Saturday even

This is a splendid record for the
ladies, as only two or three small
articles were left after the market
