EXCITED OVER DIS APPEARANCE OF GAR Chief Barclay and the members of the police force were greatly excited Saturday night when the report of an automobile being stolen was sent to them, when they at once got busy on the search for the missing gasoline J .. ill wagon, it seems irom all tnat couia be learned after several hours' of in- quiry by the police, that a young man from down in the country had come in to one of the dances with a lady f i lend, and desiring to enjoy an auto- n-fbiie ride later in the evening se- ered permission of a friend to use his auto, which was parked on lower Main st:et t. Here is where the mixup oc- eurred as the young man in getting rtady for the spin mistook the auto bf'onging to Marion Thacker for the ear of his friend and, cranking up the r; thv.o. started out for the ride, and the mistake was not discovered until I.'tr when the friend of the young man learned that his car was still on the street and that the wrong auto had evidently been taken, and this was confirmed w hen Mr. Thacker discov- i red the loss of his car. For some time (here was quite a good deal of ex citement, as it was feared the auto thieves had selected this city for their operations, but a.s the matter devel oped it seems merely a mistake on the pp. it of the one taking the auto. It however gave the police force several very unpleasant minutes. Doing the Work. W. T. Nanney, Noel, Mo., writes, "Your I. A. Thomas', Hog Powder is doing the work down in this part of the world.

SHERIFF HAS TUSSLE WITH A CRAZY MAN The county board of insanity and Sheriff Quinton had a very lively time this morning with an insane man that the sheriff brought in last night from the neighboring town of Murray. It seems this man about dark visited the home of John Lloyd, a few miles west of Murray, and proceeded to throw a scare into the family by his conduct and remarks, stating to them that they were about to be destroyed by a vol cano that he discovered was about to i ill ml . a erupt near tne nouse. inis strange talk alarmed the family, who locked their doors and called Sheriff Quinton I to the scene of action, but in the j meantime the man made himself scarce, but he was found later in Mur- ray and was brought to this city with out any trouble. This morning the fireworks started when the sheriff started to bring him over to the court house from the jail in order to be ex I amined, for as soon as Sheriff Quinton entered the cell room the man pro ceeded to launch a swift right to the jaw of the sheriff, knocking him against the wall and bruising his arm badly and but for the timely action of Fred Dietel, who is at Ine jail await- ing deportation to Germany, the man probably would have done more dam- age, but t red tackled him as he struck the sheriff, and although the insane man tore the greater part of the wearing apparel off of Fred, this di version allowed the sheriff to get into action, and the insane man was soon under subjection to the officer of the law. Just who the man is or where he came from the board could not de termine as his replies were wandering and disconnected. He claimed that someone was threatening his life and would grow excited when this subject was touched upon. The man will be sent to the asylum as soon as possible to be cared for as he is far too dan gerous to be at large. Good for Constipation. Chamberlain's Tablets are excellent for constipation.

TO PREVENT SALE OF STOLEN GARS Autcmobile Owners Organize Their Protection Against Thieves. for The Omaha Police Department has organized a "Stolen Car Department" and placed efficient detectives in charge, in an effort to kill the market for stolen cars in Iowa and Nebraska. Automobile dealers and garagemen within a radius of 250 miles of Omaha are giving their hearty co-operation. Dealers and garagemen can make the plan a great success by reporting the sale of second hand cars in their ter ritory, cars which are known to have been purchased from persons coming into our territory. As the fake sale of a second-hand automobile (a stolen car) knocks the local automobile dealers, reliable and authorized, out of a sale of a new car, there is sure to be an enthusias tic response from the dealers, garage men, and othei-s connected with the motor . fraternity here. Prospective car buyers are warned against purchasing cars from strang ers. If the genei-al public will refuse to buy from the stranger who steals in one city and disposes of his goods in another, the action will go far to ward bringing success. Persons buying haphazard, and not knowing whether the car is a stolen machine or not, stand to lose their money, as stolen property reverts to the rightful owner. Under the plan now in operation, stolen cars are being found daily. Stolen car bulletins are being mailed to dealers and garagemen as fast as names can be compiled. Over 800 dealers are at present part of the powerful organization. Garagemen in other cities, upon re port of a suspicious second-hand car sale in their territory, investigate the matter and take license and engine number. Transient trade stopping for gas and supplies should be in vpstip-ated. It is no trouble for tin garage man to take the engine num ber of a car while making repairs for it is by this method that the greatest help will result. The auto thief will have to stop somewhere in this mile radius for gas or supplies, and why not here in our city? Rewards are ottered on nearly all J stolen cars, by either insurance com panies, auto clubs or tne owner, and this should be an added inducement r co-operation. The Omaha Auto Club pays $25 for the arrest and con viction of a thief stealing a member's car. The general public can help also in notifying police headquarters of in stances where barns or sheds in their neighborhood are being used as gar ages by someone not known in the immediate vicinity. The motoring public is a mighty one. It is getting wary and suspicious. Dealers and garagemen should do all possible to help safeguard the car owner, who makes it possible for the former to have a business. IN A BAB WAY'5 Many a IMattsmouth Header Will Feel Grateful for This Information. If your back gives out; Becomes lame, weak or aching; If urinary troubles set in, Perhaps your kidneys arc "in a bad way." Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Local evidence proves their merit. Mrs. Hettie Cummings, Chicago avenue, Plattsmouth, says: "I suf fered so from my back at times thp.t I could hardly get about. When I got down, I had to take hold of some thing before I could straighten up. Sharp pains often caught me across my kidneys and for a minute I couldn't move, as they were so severe. I couldn't rest well nights, as my back acked so badly. I tried different rem edies for kidney trouble, but nothing did me any good until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. I took three boxes and they overcame that awful misery in my back and made me feel like a different person." Price 50 cents, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Cummings had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. CARD OF THANKS.

THE DUFF ELEVATOR BURNS SATURDAY The elevator at the foot of Winter steen hill that for several years has been one of the landmarks of that sec- tion of the city, was completely de troyed Saturday afternoon by fire, which was discovered about 3 o'clock when the residents of that locality no ticed the smoke and flames issuing from the roof of the building, and it was only a few minutes until the top of the structure was a regular mass of flames. The doers of the clevato were broken ui on to discover whether or not there was anyone in the struc ture and as soon as the draft hit the flames the whole interior was a mass cf flames that it was invoossible to check, although the fire department had two streams of water playing cn the burning building. The structure had been in -this location for the past twenty-five years, being built by Frank E. White, by whom it was sou to the Dun drain company, but iov some years past u nas not oe-:i use, being left to- stand as an eyesore and was a great hangout for the hobos anil tramns that drifted through the cfty. The lo-s of the buihur. will take away a very dinagreer.blo spol for the police as there is where a greater portion of the hoboes loved to j i a. i : hang out while passing through here and the police have often bce:i com pelled to make trip. there to look them up. It is supposed the fire originated from sparks from a pa-ring locomo tive. "THE BOHEMIAN GIRL" SATURDAY, DEC, 16 When Edward P. Temple, "the Wiz ard of the New York Hippodrome," wa.i engaged by Milton and Sargent Aborn to make their famous twentieth century production of '"The Bohemian Girl," he began to search the records of ancient Gyp--y lore in orucr to visualise perfectly the life of these maids who are so prominent in the plot of this opera. Consequently there are no'anarchonisms in the costumes, habits, customs and appurtenances Shown in the Bohemian Gypsy life in the Abcm Opera company's prcsenta tion of this splendid opera. There are also several unique Gypsy ceremonials shown, including the sylvan wedding of Arline and Thaddeus, the climax cf which is the breaking of jli stone jug with a hammer, which corresponds to the modern minister's words: "I pro nounce you man and wife." This only a simple incident, one of many that heighten the realism of the per formance quite as much as do the elaborate and spectacular scenery, cos tumes and effects to be seen in the Aborn presentation of "The Bohemian Girl" at the Parmele theater, Satur day night, December 10.

In accordance with the custom of opening the winter "Story Hour" sea son with a Thanksgiving entertain ment, the play "Little Women" was given Saturday afternoon under the direction of Miss Annu Heisel, and was one of the most enjoyable enter tainments that the children have had the pleasure of- attending. In the evening the play was repeated in or der to give the parents and fiiends of the people in the cast an opportunity to hear them. Everyone in the cast did themselves proud, Alice Pollock as the mischievous, impulsive "Jo," the rever to be forgotten character cre ated by Miss Alcott, and in a quaint costume of the period, locked the part.

"Hannah," as played by Marjorie Chrisinger was depicted with dash and abandon. Fern Thomson as "Meg," the elder sister, took the part with girlish dignity. Jack McCarty as "Laurie" was a typical light-hearted boy, and Herald Fitt as "Mr. Laurence" presented an amusing and kindly old gentleman. Tho specialties between acts were all pleasing; recitations by Clara May Moigan and Marie were well given and much enjoyed by the audience, and the aesthetic dancing by Mary Catherine Parmele was delightful in its charm ing gracefulness. The Indian dance by six girls was well received, and the "Folk Dance" directed by Miss Martin was a great favoiite. The boys' orchestra, composed of Mildred Lee, Piano; Miles Altman, violin; John Ledgway, cornet; Glen Mendel -hall, trap drummer, added much to the pleasure 'of the evening. Miles Alt man, the leader of the orchestra, gave a pleasing violin solo. The library board and libratian sin cerely thank Miss Heisel, Miss Martin, the boys' orchestra and all taking part in the entertainment; also, Mr. Fields for so kindly taking charge of making up the players.
