The three "mothers” of Virgil mst ■ n Detective Robert Heller’s office Monday morning. Weeping and clinging to her son’s houlder, Mrs. Cope.ey urged Mrs. Michael H.

Men Who 'Are Malang Omaha Rome Miller Is presented as a good example of what industry and thrift, guided by good business Judgment, will do. He landed In Sioux City, la., In 1876; he was 21 years old, broke and had no Job. The last leg of his ride from St. Louis, where he was born in 1855, was in the caboose of a freight train, where the brakeman shared his lunch with him. Mr. Mil ler has fed many a hungry man since then. Four years later he was a mar ried man, and in another year he was running a fruit stand at Fremont. Hera is where he began to climb. In 1882 he got charge of the lunch stand at the Elkhorn depot in Fre mont, and before he got through he had seven eating houses strung out along the line from Missouri Valley to the Black Hills, with his headquar ters at Norfolk. In 181*8 he came to Omaha and .started a restaurant on Douglas street, where the Rialto now stands. The next year he leased the Iler Grand, and a couple of years later bought the Millard, and sur prised the natives by Installing tele phones in the rooms. A little later on he bought a one-third Interest in the Paxton hotel property and bust ness, and then a half Interest In the Murray property and business. Next he bought the Brunswick hotel, anil In 1906 he built the Rome on the Brunswick site, opening it In 1907. In' 1922 he purchased 96 per cent of the stock of the Douglas Hotel com pany, whiah own* the Koptenelle, which he recently leased to E. C. Eppley. Outside of being an all round res taurant and hotel man, Mr. Miller has found time to engage in a num ber of things. He served as president of the park board under Mayor Dahlman’s first administration; he was president of the Omaha Business Men's association, vice rhalrman of the original publicity bureau of the. Chamber of Commerce; Is now on | ways and means committee of the chamber. H# was president of the Northwestern Hotel Men's asaocla tion, of the Nebraska and Omaha as sociations, and a member of the legis latlve committee of the national as sociation. Some 19 year* ago Mr. Miller established a home at Dos Angele*. to which he has now retired in his 69th yea r. Harlan County School Exhibit Held at Alma Aim*, Neb..

His three sons served in the World War, one dying overseas. Republicans of all groups favor Mr. Sloan be cause of his fine record in Congress, where he pro duced results for the farmers and workers of Ne braska. They favor him because he has faith in tha party of Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt as an instrument of progress and reform; and does not be lieve in asking Republican votes and then repudiat ing the party; because he has faith in the people of Nebraska and America, and in their ability to work out their economic and political salvation by con stitutional means. They favor him because of his record of patriotic service, and his loyal support of the service men of the state and nation. They fa vor him because of his constructive mind, his liberal views, and his life-long study of the industries and resources of Nebraska. They favor him because he is truly representative of all the people of the State and is under obligation to no interest except that of the citizens of Nebraska. They favor him because he would rather owe his nomination to the Repub lican men and women of Nebraska than ot “non • partisan" suggestions from outside the State. They favor him because of his stainless record of personal honesty and integrity. . “Construction beats Criticism” wag decided aa follows: Republican City first. Orleans second and Stam ford third.

"It looks as if some one has been meddling with these palls out of pure mischief. It looks as If some one has a mean dis position. but I don't know of any one who would do such a thing. I know there are s. lot of mean people In the world, but I don't know of any one around here mean enough to do any thing of this kind." Presently he came to a pall that was badly dented. It looked as If It had bean kicked around and banged against the trees.

Farmer Brown's Boy was Interested right away. He studied those foot prints. They were too small. They were not the footprints of one of Buster Bear's twins, who two years before had been trapped in the sugar house. Those twins must he big bear* by this time. Farmer Browh's Boy began to fol low the footprints. Presently he dis covered another line of footprints of almost the same size which joined the footprints he was following. Then he discovered more footprints like these but a wee bit smaller. Farmer Browns Boy gave a little low whistle of surprise. "As I live!" he exclaimed. "Buster and Mrs. Bear must have had another family of which I have known nothing. Th*»e“>, youngsters must be about a year olij. They are the same scamps who have been meddling with my sap pall«.
