That DaHhliig Widow.
Under the caption of "A Dashing Widow , "
there appeared In the Unn of January 35 , an
article concerning the removal of u certain
well known lady as executrix of her deceased
husband's estate by Judge McCulloch , and of
her reckless expenditure of money. The
nrtlclo also stated that the widow had con
tracted largo debts and that a number of
suits were Jilcil against her. It was further
stated that she had been on several junketing
tours and had lavished money on a male ac
quaintance. Previously other dally papers
had taken up the case and published the
lady's name Mrs. Nellie McNnmnru.
A Hni ; reporter celled at the residence of
Mrs. McNarnura on Douglas street Just west
of Twentieth street yesterday. Ills ring
was answered by u tidy servant irlrl , who In
v"l response to an Inquiry for her mistress re-
"l piled that Mrs. MeNnmara was slek In bed.
Lv "lL i "Will you kindly announce mo us u linn
v representative I" usked the reporter.
The girl disappeared within the house , but
soon returned and Invited the visitor to step
upstairs. She conducted him to a hand
somely furnished boudoir , and lylmj In bed
was the lady sought. At the window was
seated another lady engaged in needlework.
' Mrs. Mi.'Namara. do.you desire to say
anything for publication concerning the
charges made against you In the dally
papers ! " asked the reporter.
"I most certainly do. I think I owe it to
my children to refute these slanders which
were Instigated by enemies and which are
absolutely untrue. "
"What about your being deposed as execu
trix ! "
"Well , when I was ordered by the court to
make a re | > ort as to the affairs of the estate I
was sick with pneumonia and so advised the
Judge. The next thing I knew was that
another administrator had been appointed.
Tills new executor lias only power to settle
up the indebtedness of the estate. "
"What do you estimate the estate of your
late husband to bo worth ! "
"Oh , $ .T,000 or flO.UOO , I suppose. "
"What has boon your income since his
death ) "
"Just ? 10fl per month , which comes from
the rental of two houses. "
"What about your reckless extravagance ? "
"There is where I have been indiscreet. I
have spent a good deal of money and have
contracted several debts. "
"To what amount ! "
"About $ .1,000 1 suppose. "
"Now about your junketing tours ! "
"Well I have made but three trips since
my husband's.death. One was to Uliic.iso ,
where I went to purchase carpets , etc. The
trip cost mo but a few dollars and I saved a
great deal of money in making my purchases
there.
The next trip I took was with my bo.v ,
whom I placed In school at Morrison , Col. In
July I went to Denver , which 's ' but a few
miles from Morrison and remained there
about three months and when I returned I
brought my boy home. Those are the only
thro * times I have been out of the city of
Omaha and each time I was accompanied by
ono or more of my children. "
"What about the statement that you
lavished money on a western dude ? "
"Western dude indeed 1" exclaimed Mrs.
McNamara. "Bettor say cowboy and it
would bo much nearer the truth. I met a
gentlemen in Chicago and afterwards in
Denver. Instead of mv giving him money ho
n several occasions loaned mo various sums
and when I started for homo ho loaned mo
money'to purchase my tickets which I re
turned since. He is now in Omaha. "
Mrs. McNamara further stated that
It was simply her wisli to place her
self right before the public and
that her character was above reproach.
All of her troubles .were brought on by
relatives of her husband. It may bo stated
incidentally that the reporter's call upon her
was at her solicitation , as she wished to have
some kind of a statement made.
"Tho Cowboy" Arrested.
The man who darted from the lobby of the
Millard hotel and through the barber shop
into Douglas street , and headed for the alley
in the rear of Patsy Fullon's place , whore ho
was overhauled by his pursuer , Officer
Cullen , about dusk last evening and marched
to the central police station , gave his name
as William Hrnglo , and his ago twenty-
Bcvcn years to the jailer in charge. Tills was
nn unnecessary formality , as his nanio was
embossed on a warrant previously issued by
Police Judge Herka. and on the strength of
which the arrest was made by Cullen. The
charge was that of vagrancy , but in dress
and appearance Ileaglo looked more tlio gen
tleman of easu and wealth than n vagrant.
His stylish and well-kept attire was topped
off with a glossy plug hat of the latest style ,
and ho sported u handsome irold watch and
chain and had & 3T.35 in currency in his
pocket. Hcaglo's arrest was a complete sur
prise to him , but after ho was confined in a
cell and given a chance to collect himself , ho
concluded tllat ho was being made u victim
of malice and persecution , at the bottom of
which , as ho alleged to a linn reporter , was
P. U. Sullivan , the father of Mrs. Nellie
MoNamara , tlni wealthy young widow who
lins been the source of so much newspaper
notoriety of late.
Hcaglo is the young man whom Mrs. Me
Namara , in the interview with n Hun re
porter , jokingly referred to a.s a cowboy , as
an offset to the HUE lofcrenco to him as "a
western dude. " he has resided for a number
of years in Denver , Col. , where ho held an
important and lucritivo position with the
Ncff-Prentiss brokerage llrin , but since No
vember last has been In OniHha , during
which time ho has remained out of actls-o em
ployment and associated with men about
town. When Heaglo llrst arrived in Omuha
ho put up at the P.ixton , but of late has been
taking his meals at restaurants and
rooming with a private family on Eighteenth
street. Since his htay hero ho has boon a
great deal in the company of Mrs. McXa-
mara , whoso acquaintance lie formed on the
cars while traveling from Chicago. That
meeting ripened into a friendship that ex
cited Mrs. McNamaru's father's enmity , and
ho has publicly charged that Ileaglo was the
man who was encouraging her in her ex
travagant expenditures aud jcapordizing the
estate left by her dqait husband. These
charges Mrs. McNamara emphatically and
without reserve pronounces as false , main
taining that Heaglo has sulllciciit resources
of his own. Holias a wealthy mother , ami
Argensinger. the famous glove maker at
Johnstoun , N. Y , , Is his uncle.
After a short conversation with Ileaglo in
his cell , a UKI : reporter , at his request , went
to the residence of Mrs. McNamara to in
form her of his arrest. The lady , who is
confined to her bed from illness , consented
to another interview with the nowspapei
messenger , who delicately imparted to hci
the fact that William was iu a dungeon dark
and dreary.
"Yes , so I've heard , " was the reply ,
coupled with the query. " 1 presume the
poor fellow must feel awfully bud. and docs
ho cry ) "
To tills last question the reporter afforded
the cheering intelligence that William was
holding up bravely , and. had not wept in his
presence.
"My father , " continued Mrs. MoNamara ,
"has been hero and told mo of Mr. Heaglo's
arrest. Father ( Ionics having made the com
plaint , but hoilocs snytlmt he was at the
bottom of it. He seems to think that Heaglo
lias nninllucnce over mo in my indiscretions
as to the management of my dead husband's
estate , but in this ho is greatly mistaken. ]
ndmlt I have been n little indiscrete In the
matter of spending money , but it was us
mui/h mine as my husband's , for I workei
hard from 5 o'clock in the morning until 1' ,
at night day In and year out to earn it
Father is vexed at mo because I did not trust
the estate in his hands , but I know him to be
incapable and did not do so. "
Returning to Heaglo's arrest , she do
pounced it in unmeasured terms , and wltl
considerable lire and emotion asked : -'Can'
n manAvlth money In his pockets , surroumlet
by respectable.and wealthy family ties , come
with the intention of going into
' m K ? * ? * K3z&F ' - ' * - * - * - -
msincsR , and walk tlic streets without being
arrested iw'n vagrant ! "
After hearing Mrs. McNumara express her
sorrwy for Mr. Heaglo's uncomfortable
illght , the reporter took his leave.
Ed Perry , the local representative for a
tide and leather linn of Chicago , is a friend
of Jlcaglo's , and ho promises to light the
arrest to the bitter end.
MOVING THK GAM WOUK8.
V New House mid Holder to bo Unlit
by the Oinnhn GUM Company.
A Unn reiwrtcr called on Frank Murphy ,
resident of the Omaha ( Jas manufacturing
company , to ascertain what ho thought about
ho resolution of Councilman Lee , with re-
? unl to obviating n gas famine. Mr. Lee's
views , published In the Hr.n , wore to the of-
'ect that as the works , as now situated , have
lie gas-holder too near them , and that an
accident to the ono would bo likely to cause
ho explosion of the other , and thus leave
ho city in darkness. Ho favored , therefore ,
he erection of another "holder distant from
ho worKs.
Mr. Murphy smiled as he was told of Mr.
Leo's solicitude , and said that the company
needed no forcing on the part of the council
.0 look after Its own interests , not that they
tclt that there was anything unusual
: o bo feared from the causes given by
Mr. Lee. J-'ven If the holder were isolated
ui accident might occur to it , but It could not
explode. Its contents would burn and that
would bo all. With regard to the lack of gas
which would ensue upon such an accident the
company had anticipated Mr. Lee , "mainly
licenuso in our business , " said Mr. Murphy ,
"in a growing town like Oinahu wo must look
ihead from two to live years. Our present
receiver is not largo enough or rather will
not bo large enough for'nur business two
vcars from now. Wo Intend to build another
liolder as soon as wo can secure a site , which
will have double the capacity of the present
ono. "
'Where will you build it ) "
'It will be west of Sixteenth" street and to
ward the tracks. We are looking for a largo
Lmct of land and will eventually build GUI'
new works upon the site. The cround on
which the old works are built while valuable
Is not large enough , and might bo ad.\antage-
uiisly used for oilier purposes. Yes , wo will
leave one of our receivers down there. It
could bo supplied with gas just as well from
ii distant house as from the present works. "
TIIKV WENT TO THK JUDGE.
Norn Flnnncry Hastily Married in the
County Court.
Catholic circles are in n flurry of excite
ment over the conduct of ono of their most
prominent young ladies in marrying the
choice of her heart outside of the church.
I'lio young lady is Miss Nora Flannery , aged
twenty years , who yesterday went before
Hulgo Shields and was formally united in the
bonds of matrimony with Walter Q. Webb , a
promising young physician who lives in
Washington territory. The pair had been
contemplating marriage for the past few
years , contrary to the wishes of the parents
of the bride , who are old and wealthy resi
dents of Omaha. Nora , who is the only
daughter , was the flower of the household ,
and two or three days ago Webb arrived in
Iho city and proposcd'inimodinte consumma
tion of the bonds. To this un objectipn was
set up by Mr. and Mrs. Flannery , and to
their protestations Norn turned a deaf ear.
She waited on Father McCarthy of St.
Philomena's Cathedral and asked him to
marry her. He positively refused , notifying
the young lady that the rules of the church
demanded a two weeks proclamation from
the altar. Hishop O'Connor was next ap
pealed to , but ho too , was as lirm in his oppo-
sitjon as the priest , and as a last resort the
pair called on Judge Shields , who uttered
the magic words that made them as one , Lew
Heed and G. F. Morearty being the witnes
ses. Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Webb took the train lor Washing
ton territory where they will reside iu the
future.
JUVENILE THIEVES.
They Make a Nocturnal Raid on
Alley *
Four dirty , villainous looking little hood
lums , ranging from twelve to fourteen years
of ago , were arrested yesterday charged
with burglarizing the candy and variety store
of Jacob Newman in Dago alley. The kids
were very venturesome in their operations ,
literally smashing in the window glass in
Newman's front door , and at an hour when
the legendary alloy was alive with its habit
ues. They then reached in and from a con
venient shelf extracted a tray of painted
tally and a half caddie of acorn tobacco.
Tim theft was discovered about 12 o'clock
and the police acquainted with the affair.
Captain Green took the case in hand at once ,
and on being informed that these boys had
been lurking about Wewman's place all even
ing , ho proceeded to nnest tTlem tit once.
Their names were Joe McDonald , and Jim ,
Joe and James Collins , and the whole quartette -
tetto were found at the residence of John
Collins , the * father of Jim and Joe , living
near the corner of Fifteenth and Marcy
streets. Here also the keen nose of the offi
cer scented out the half caddie of tobacco ,
and while en route to the station with his
juvenile prisoners they told him that they
hud secreted the tray of circus taffy under
the board walk on Eleventh street between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth. This , too , was
recovered and brought into the station. The
boys were sent up to the district court as
candidates for the reform school.

additions.

ASSESSING THE CITY.
V New iMun for the Equalization'of
Taxes. .
The Hun , a few days ago , published nn In-
.crvlew with Chairman Halcombc , of the
joard of public works , In which was a sug-
'cstlon that the total valuation of .Omaha at
? 1G,000,010 , was too low , especially when Min
neapolis In 1SSI , then n town about the slzoof
Dnmha at the nrescnt time , had n valuation
of $74,000,000. i. remedy this , and at the
same time to obviate the paying of a propor-
.lomito increase In the tax Into the state
.rcasury , ho favored legislation to give a sep
arate assessor to the city , whoso assessment
should bo near the true value of the proj-
erty , and upon which taxes could bo levied
for the purposes of Improvement. Tills would
Ivo the city ample mdncy , and , in his
opinion , do away with the necessity of over-
aps or the desire to expend more than the
circumstances of the city allowed.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter for this
.laper met Comm'issloncr ' O'/Ceefe ' / and asked
what his opinion was concerning the separate
assessment plan. Ho nald It did not
strike him favorably. It would
lever do to have two assessments
in the county ono of which would be greater
than the other , because when the commis
sioners wont before the state board of equal
ization they would bo told that the smaller
assessment was not right and that the county
was attempting to evade the responsibility of
tax upon its valuation.
"What I would favor , though , " said Mr.
O'lvccffo , "Is one assessor for every county ,
who would assess the property at its full val
uation. Then I would have the law amended
so as to increase the state board of equaliza
tion , giving one member for every district
ludcu in the state and allowing the judges of
Lho different districts to appoint the members
of the same. The appointees would then be
men who know of the value of the prop
erty In their vicinity. In that way
the assessment would bo more
avcn through the state. Now , for
Instance in Auditorliabeock's county , mules
were assessed at $50 and $7tij in Saundcrs
L-ounty they were valued at § 25 and $ .15. This
was n great difference. Now , the state
board of equalization could not equali/o this
issessmont to an average of10 throughout
the state. It was compelled to leave this dis
parity go and base its levy upon the total
return of the assessed valuation. If the sys
tem I speak of were introduced , competent
men wcro selected from every judicial dis
trict , such glaring inaccuracies and discrep
ancies would not take place. "
OMAHA , Jim. 21,1SSS. A meeting of
the ministers of tho'clty wiis hold in the
study of the First Presbyterian church
this afternoon for | iruyor nntl confer
. There ministers
ence. were twciity-ono
ters present , representing till the differ

unity was manifest. A disciii&ion on
how to hotter carry on the ciirisliuu
work of this city took place , and a com
mittee was appointed to draft a consti
tution lor an organization of the city.
They adjourned to meet next Tuesday
at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 2 o'clock.
Turned llurilar While Drunk.
Night before last a steamtlttcr named P. J.
Stadolman , and a Capitol avenue cyprinn ,
went out on a spree together , when the two
run out of money. Wishing to replenish his
exchequer Stadelman conceived the idea of
breaking into J. Dahn's saloon on Ninth
street and tapping the till. Accordingly an
entrance was affected by breaking a pane of
glass in the rear of the saloon , and * not only
was the money drawer robbed , but a num
ber of cigars , cigarettes andbottlcsof whisky
were taken. Last evening Stadelman was
captured by Olllcer Bloom and put behind
the bars. '

To the Editor of the Bnu : An article . in'
your local columns of Friday last did injus
tice a young man whom I know to bo neither
a hard nor an unfaithful son. Mr. Tom Seward -
ard is and has been for years trying to make
an honorable homo of reasonable peace and
comfort for his mother and sisters. For
fourteen long patient years that mother has
cared for him without the stay and help she
should have had. Ho shields and protects
her now. That is the history and the facts
briefly told. If the veil is lifted no higher to
reveai.a heart and a II fo history of wrong
ami wretchedness it is because that history
belongs to an estimable family who prefer to
keep it in the silence of their own hearts and
bo still. Tom Seward is not nn ingrate nor

CLEANING UP !
Our patrons , who at the opening of past seasons , have examined
our stook of men's and boy's clothing , will endorse when we state that
we enter a second season with new goods only. Our spring goods are
already on the way , and we must make room for them. We have not
the space to carry over a heavy stock of winter goods as is done by
most clothiers. Our largely increased business compels us to utilize
every foot of room in our establishment for the transaction of our
ailybusin ess and we are therefore compelled to close out every hea
vy weight garment on our counters. To do this we make any necessa
ry sacrifice in pricess. The reductions we have made on overcoats
and suits , and the values we are offering , will surprise everybody. To
bargain seekers this is the greatest opportunity , as the pri ce of every
garment is about one half what other houses ask for same qualities.
To make a clearance of a large lot of all wool scarlet shirts and
drawers , we offer them at 35c. This is an immense bargain , as they
are good , heavy goods and would , in the early season , be cheap at 75c.
What little there is left of Fur , Jersey and Knit Caps , is offered at
one-half what they are worth. Closing out odds and ends of gloves ,
furs and mufflers , at greatly reduced prices.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one prica.

PERFECTION OF LIGHT ,
No More Gn Explosions Indirlitnnl
Gas Is Free From Such/Ilorrros.
la n Ilrlllliuit , Steady , Honest nni )
Economical Light.
There Is no argument ntlvnnced
nnyiicw Imontluti or dUco\ory which so
quickly roaches the licart of the public ,
nor lilcli tnakrs such n lasting Improgs *
imi , Nlieiuk'monslnik'd , as that of econ
omy.
In . ' It is the
eon.seqni'iire , pica-dim and ;
aim of the Nebraska Individual ( Jas Co. ,
to she a fi'fr p < iliVln ! vindication of their
assei'tlon , tlmt'uiereati furnish Iho lie t
and most economic light nith which the
public lias as jet become lU'qimintnl.
Perhaps no better argument could bo
used but m do not stop here. Aside from
economy Independent ( Jas possesses other
nilriinlnpcsttliicligo far toniml making
it the popular illmnlmint.
In the first place Its name bears n point ,
to be considered. Individual or Imlhidii-
allly eidi consumer In Inn ing a separate
and entirely distinct plant , consisting ? of
rescnolr and meter , thus molds the ne
cessity of any connection nhutctcr nilh
street mains or pines , as m-ll as a Miilng
of expense.
nt'oiil pis , ns those using It veil know , la-
more or less seriously affected by cold
Heather , thus rendering nn unreliable
and unsatisfactory illiimlnniit during the
winter months , M hen It Is most needed ,
say nothing about the annoyance.
Here no lmu > n point which please note.
As n test of the ability of Individual ( Jas to
withstand the cold , no had the mci'totr *
of both our ofllce and warehouse placed on
the roof in bold relief , where for the past
! JO dins they lime been subjected to the se
verest of tests , our light showing no signs
of inflation or weakness.
It Is a common thing to cn a once clear
and neat celling blackened Immediately
o > er the gas fixture , or perhaps caused by
a smoking hanging lamp. It Is a llttlo
thing to be sure , but how annoying to a
careful housekeeper. Individual ( Jus ghett
a pure , clean , soft , and as white a light as
could be desired , and Is perfectly odorless.
The feeling against the regulation me
ter has led us to desire a simple , yet accu
rate indicator , which any child can thor
oughly understand , thus reducing that ,
prejudice which has taken such rout. Wo
read daily of deaths caused by suffocation
from escaping gas , or tlie careless use of
kerosene , and it comes home to us. Why
not avoid such horrors ! No matter what
amount of care Is exercised , accidents will
occur , and it is to lessen or remove all
chances of anything of the kind that wo
subject to your Inspection , our gns.
Theposithc shut off on all gas burners
Is necessary to extinguish the light prop
erly , but let the light be extinguished by
other means , blowing or going out on ac
count of n temporary iusnillcicut supply ,
and what is the consequence suffocation ,
or pcrchnncc explosion and ( lie question
naturally arises , how is it with Individual
( Jus.
Jus.Here
Here we hare our main argument :
We look after the reservoir and keep it
nlwius supplied , thus relieving the con
sumer of an ) annoyance or care. From ( hero
the gns flows to each and every burner , a
match is applied , the heat generates Iho
gas which rises ami ignites , therefore Iho
minute that heat is taken away , either by
accident or otherwise , the gas ceases to
generate , hence though the burner bo
turned on full head , no gas escapes.
Xo more practical illustration can bo
glvi'ii limn to call at our olllee , where wo
will be pleased to demonstrate and explain
the workings of our light and show the
comments of those who are now using it.
