An enthuslaslio tnoatlnp of South Omaha
property ownort was hold nt the Stoelt-
nian oftlco on Twenty-fourth stro.it last
nlRht , The object of the mooting as stntod
by President Dee of the Hoard of Tratlo wn
to dovlso ways nnd moans to ndvortlso South
Omaha In order to ilerivo the greatest possi
ble benefit from the projected Unprovomont-s
nt the stockyards nnd pncklnc houses.
The innttor wn.s discussed Informally and
at sonio length. Mr. Berry favored the In
sortlon of advertisements In thu Oraahn
paners , showing Iho amount of money to ho
oxponuod In Improvements during the com-
Intr Reason , whnt it was to bo expended on
nnd tlio number of additional men who could
find employment , tie also advised the use Of
circulars.
Mr. McMillan thought that the time was
rlpo for the Mnglc t/ltV to take n long htrldo
forward , nnd advertising was the principal
means by which this object should be accom
pllshed , The real oat a to and business men
of South Omahn should respond liberally to
n call for funds for that purpose.
Mr. C. C. Uoorgo of the Potter ft Qcorgo
companv of Omnhn , who was present , was of
Ihb opinion that a largo number of locals run
n the Omaha papers for n considerable
period would bo tnoro cffoutlvo than larger
advertisements appearing nt Intervals.
Mr. Dee ngrccd with this idea , nddlnir that
his attention was first called to Omaha In
1831 by a clipping from Tun OMUIA DKP.
which ho road In a Massachusetts paper.
Mr. Gcorgo nlso advised that a close watch
should bo kept on the city government. All
strangers Who thought of making Invest
ments would llrst Inquire ns to the city taxes
nnd Improvements , mid it was Important that
the lowest scale of taxes compatible with
liberality In the way of Improvements should
bo maintained.
It wns Dually concluded to appoint a com
mittee of six , to bn divided Into three .iub-
committees , to solicit subscriptions to defray
tbo ox pen so of an extensive system of adver
tising , and a committee of thrco to devise the
most effective menus of disseminating Information
mation in regard to thu resources and prob
able future of the city.
President Dee took the opnolntmont of the
committees under advisement mm will mnko
them publics Monday. The mooting nd-
lournoa subject to the call of the committee.

Washington spoulal says : President Polk
was found la his ofllco In the Atlantic build-
in if. When shown the Inter Ocean's expos
ure of the cordage trust , ho was first Inclined
to bo rotlcont on iho subject ,
' 'My habit , " ho said , "as president of the
alliance has boon when adouutU In ray uilr.U
to give the alliance the benefit of it. The
truth is , that In February last , Oswald Wil
son oamo to mo and unfolded tbo scheme of
the alliauco entering Into business tolations
with the National Union company , I refused
to recommend It ut that tlmo or on any occas
ion subsequent to It. It was a matter in
which I had no Jurisdiction anyway , and 1
did not care to ba led Into any jobs. Later
on when tbo campaign was on In Iowa and
Kansas , And I was on a stumping tour in
i
these states , 1 wns asked by n Kansas friend
nbout the National Union | company and
I replied that I kaotv nothlncr about It.
" \Vliy. " said ho , "you nro named ns chair
man ot the committee of three on the part of
the alliance in n clrcnlnr. I have It in my
possession , but not with mo. "
"I asked him to send mo the circular , nnd
Informed him that at no time had I endorsed
the National Union compiny , nnd 1 presumed
that thn names of the other gentlemen found
on the circular had been placed there with
out tholr Knowledge.
"Later on the uir .ular wal received by mo.
I wrote to the president of the company call
ing his attention to the fact that my name
was being mod without my personal consent
nnd rc'colvcd n reply that the matter would
bo Inquired into and rectified , but it has not
botn.1 >
Senator Poffor glanced nls eye over Iho
Inter Ocean , slowly stroked his boahl , still
moro loisufely , ns ho road It , nnd then very
deliberately observed that ho did hot know
ns ho cared to talk on the subject matter. Uo
relented , however , ns ho pondered , nnd reread -
road certain paragraphs nnd sold ! "Wheth
er the Inter Ocean article Is fonnded on fact
or not , I am not Inclined t < i discredit In ad
vnnco of the facts rcdclvcd , It is quite possi
ble that some ot iho alliance people have
been overreached. It would bo strange If
they had not. The alliance Is besot , on every
hand by alloeed business philanthropists , who
nro rich with sUiumos to nld thu farmur.
Persons who do nut suspect their ulterior
motives nro lUblo to bo taken in. Thou
again , men have crept Into'tho alliance who
are there for revenue only. I do not think
that the alliance will authorize an Investiga
tion nftho Inter Ocean's ' charges , nnd t do
not think cither that tbo alliance Is going to
bo captured by the National Cordao trust.
If the trust can furnish Its goods cheaper
than nny other firm , I see no oDjcctlon to the
alliance trading with them. I do not under
stand It to bo proved that any conspiracy wns
contemplated ut nny tlmo between the alli
ance on the ono hand and the
National Cordage company on the
other. The farmer ls in great distress.
Ho sees combines made on every arl'.elo that
ho rnlsus. Ho naturally supposes that the
way to help himself nnd improve Ids condi
tion Is to combine also. This Is probably ono
of the reasons why some alliance men linvo
Joined hands with the National Union. "
Dr. C.V. . McCuno , when the Inter Ocean
correspondent entered his presence , intui
tively understood the object of his errand.
"I do not know as 1 care to say anything to
the Inter Ocean , " ho said , "I rend this morn
ing extracts from the article of February 10.
I will admit that I was nt the meeting nt
Coredos , nnd I went to that mooting de
termined to probe the scheme of the National
Union people to the bottom. 1 am frank
enough to say lhat after hearing the plan of
the company mid Invottnrating tbo company
Itself , I saw nothing In the way of the ut-
llonco accepting its terms. The plan pro
posed wns a decided improvement on the
Hochdnlo plan in that nomonev wa required
on the part of the alliance , and in addition to
that the stores secured a rebate on nil goods
purchased. To my mind the alliance would
lese nothing. The agreement further made
was that the company was to meet all compe
tition nnrt then sell their goods nt n lower
price. Whnt the farmer wunts is to buy
what ho needs at the lowest possible market
price nnd sell what ho has to sell nt the high
est market price. That Is nil 1 have to any
on the subject. I think the National Union Is
all right. "
Hon. Jerry Simpson said : "Yes , the nl-
lianco made a narrow escape from getting
into the clutches of a gigantic trust , but the
scheme was happllv discovered in time , nnd
when the alliance people met In convention
last November In Indianapolis the National
Union co'npnnv wont under. In my opinion
there Were men In the alliancu anxious to
sell the order over for a consideration in this
matter , nnd they will bo ferreted out , If they
have not been found out of yeUwhlch I thluk
they have. "
A VINDICTIVE "BLACKMAILER.
The Acolit of a DUroputnblo Sheet VrnU
HlH Spleen Upon thu lieu.
January 23 the following editorial appeared
in Tin ; BKK :
SIIOUMAKEH SHOULD IIH SUSTAINIM ) .
Every respectable and lawabldiug citizen
of Omaha will concede that tbo efforts of ox-
Assistant City Attorney'Shoemaker to ori-
force the laws and ordinances against the
sale of obscene papers uro commendable.
Whatever may bo the outcome of the court
proceedings to punish Mr. Shoemaker for
contempt , the sentiment of tbo community is
in favor of the suppression of lllthy papers
that thrive on scandal and pander to the de
praved appetite of people for highly-colored
and sensational reports of the doings of the
brothel , assignation house and wino room.
When the ngcnts nnd correspondents of
such dirty sheets make it n practice to levy
blackmail upon men and women by threaten
ing them with exposure of some Indiscretion
they or their relatives mav have committed
or nave been suspected of , und when these
wretches peddle nut llbelous stories and hold
them ns clubs over the heads of public oQl-
cials charged with enforcing the laws , it is
inoumoent upon the community to back the
officials and demand that they do tholr whole
duty regardless of consequences.
Tno Omn.hu representative of u nasty pub
lication impudently boasts , that his sheet
docs not claim to bo respectable , but urges
that "it is legal and contain * far superior
matter to that found in. the Police Ouzotto
and Police Nows. " He further declares
that "there Is no crime committed except
when tbo paper is sold to minors. " A man
who appeals on such grounds for public sym
pathy has a very low standard of morals.
The Police Gazette and the Police News may
bo inferior to the Kansas City shoot in point
of digging up salacious stories that have long
nassod from the memories of men. These
papers simply deal in reports of current
crnno nna sporting news of the day. They
uro not hawked in the street , aud do not em
ploy or countenance reporters or agents that
make a living by ransacking the secret
closets of private , inoffensive and oven well-
behaved citizens for skeletons and holding
victims up for a ransom.
The plea that the law cannot bo violated
except by tbo sale of inJocont literature to
minors is puerile. Tbc fact that the ludeccnt
Kansas City sheet has boon sold on the street
corners by newsboys affords ample proof of
Its sale to thoin as minors and would so bo
regarded In any court of Justice.
Down in Kansas City the people have
sought protection from professional llbelors
aud blackmailers through tbo grand jury and
it may bo that we shall have to emulate tholr
example in Omaha. To suoject the people of
this city to systematic defamation that In
vades the family circle incites violence and ,
sooner or later , is liable to result in a bloody
tragedy.
A few days later the disreputable Kansas
City shoot collapsed nnd itsipublishers were
sent to Jail by the Missouri court. About
ton days ngo it was revamped In Chicago ,
nnd tbo agent in this city , who is now under
bonds on the charco of criminal libel , has
taken revenge on TMK lim ; for hauling him
over tbo coals by concocting a story alleging
the mysterious disappearance of a former reporter
porter of TIIB lHi : : .
Yesterday afternoon the streets were re
sounding with shouts : "All about Tin : HKF.
scandal. " The story as hawkea by tbo dis
reputable sheet charges boodle and corrup
tion on the part of Tin : Br.i : and O'Brien in
reference to the oxposu made by Tin : BKK of
the peculiar methods of State Oil Inspector
Carnes end his deputies and the low prado
of oil that had been sold to the people of this
state.
A series of these articles , covering the case
fully , appeared in Tim BEE , and , as is the
custom in those newspaper headquarters ,
when tbo subject was exhausted further ref
erence ceased ,
Tlio story Invented by the Kansas City
shoot Is Inconsistent , self-contradictory , false
and Idiotic on Its facn. Tbo preposterous
feature of It was in its concluding portion ,
wherein It wns stated that O'Brien was nol
treated right by'l'iuHun undfoltdlsgruntlcd
because ho had not boon promoted.
It is true that shortly after O'Brien bad
finished his assignment on the oil investiga
tion bo quit the service of TUB BEB and did
not tell nnyouu where ho proposed to go. Ho
led the city aud bis friends have not boon
Informed of nu whereabouts. This cccen-
trio freak caused comment among his former
associates , and this comment , favorable nnd
unfavorable , has doubtless suggested to the
agent ot tbo Kansas City sheet the basis ol
his plot and bo spun it to the full capacity ol
bis Imagination. Had there boon nny
boodllug In tbo case It is not at ah likely that
O'Brien ' would huvo left Omnuj , Had ho
remained , itissafo to predict that the story
would not UFVO been Invented and published.
There is evidently little room In Omaha for
blackmailers , In fact the grand Jury ought
to taUo this mUorublG devil In hand und umko
him toll what ho claims to know in ibis case
and where ho sot his alleged Information o
bribery of O'Brien , U ha knows anything u
all , and then supplement this by Investi
gating tbo oil business from top to bottom
Nothing would suit TUB Buic battnr.

Ihd much In the llfo of this ybunfe
vomtin to interest tholil and Inoronso
tholr natural anxiety to see her event
ually crowned with success , both ill her
profession and in private lifo.
Mrs. Millie Price-Dow was born in
Catharine street , Strung , London , Eng
land , on July 4 , 1870. She developed
into a precocious child. She was bright ,
apt and imitative. Children lilto her
were rare , nnd her brightness nnd pre
cocity outlined her future career that
of a theatrical pcrformor for.it is on
the Btajjo that precocity , beauty nnd talent -
ont find tholr surest and richestCoward.
Mfo. Price-Dow made her appearance
before the public at the tender ago of G
years. The little inito of an actress was
wonderfully gifted , nnd her success in
her favorite line has steadily increased
from that day to this. Whatever dak -
sonio shadows fate may have cast over
lior domestic life , her public career has
been ono of unexampled success.
The play in which she first appeared
was n version of Victor Hugo's "Les
Misorables. " It was given at the Duke's
theater in Holborn , with Clarence Holt
in Iho principle role. Between thn boc-
end and third act La Petite Millie ap
peared in a torpslchoroan sjlocialtv
known as the Zephyr Dance. The grace
nnd agility that have characterized hoi-
dancing since wore observable oven at
that ourly ago , and her first appoaranuo
was a genuine success from a juvenile
standpoint.
Her next appearance was at the
Surrey Theater , south side of London ,
whore she appeared us Arthur in
"Queen's Evidence , " with the late
Harry Jackson. During the action of
the drama she danced a sailor's horn-1
pipe , giving it all the rhythmic action
that belongs to that graceful danco.
Her talents had attracted the atten
tion of many prominent London theatri
cal managers and she accepted an en
gagement , of George Conquest , appear
ing In the character of Lucy in "Hand
and Glovo. " She had now reached the
ago of 12 years , and was famous as the
greatest child actress and dancer Lon
don had over known.
Her power of memory was ono of her
greatest accomplishments , for at the ago
of 0 years oho memorized and played the
part of Little Cosolto , in which there
wore more than a hundred linos. For
this romaricnblo achievement she re
ceived unstinted praiHO from the London
critics , who ( ire always sparing of lauda
tory sentences about oven the most ac
complished actors and actrossos. Ono
critic after pronouncing her a phe
nomenon , declared that she was the best
reader of lines for her ago that tha Tendon -
don stage hud ever known.
After her "Hand and Glovo" engage
ment she madb a successful tour of the
provinces with Fred W. Sydney. She
appeared on this tour as Arthur in
"Queen's Evidence. " The tour lasted
twulvo months and established har rep
utation ( Inner than over as a deserving
public favorite.
Upon the conclusion of this engage
ment she was immediately engaged by
George Sangcr to appear in a Christmas
pantomime to bo given at Sangor's
theater. It was here that she nr.ado her
first appearance as a vocalist , and fully
demonstrated that her stage talents
wore of n very versatile order. She
played the part of the captain In "Dick
Whitlngton" with the same success tliat
had greeted her previous offo-ts.
Then she went to Drury Luno theater ,
appearing as Polly in n magnificent pro
duction of "Robinson Crusoe. " It was
here and ntthis time that she originated
the song and dance , "Pretty Angelina , "
whioh proved to bo the hit of her career ,
and in whicli she had so many imita
tions , but no equals.
At the conclusion of this engagement
she was engaged to appear at the Al-
luunbra. the Trocadoronnd the Pavilion
in her singing and dancing specialties.
She appeared at all of these places on
the same night , at different hours , and
so great was her popularity with the
patrons of those popular places of amuso-
inout , that her engagement lasted
two years and would have lasted
longer , but the fiitro of the young artist
had reached Paris , a city In which
theatrical managers are keenly on
the alert for successful actors nnd
actresses , and she received numerous Hat-
oring offers to appo.xr in the gay French
capital. She finally accepted an on-
gagnmont at the Follies Horgors , whnro
she received a muniIIcent salary ana all
her nxponsos , including carriages to and
from the theater , and a Jo/.on other
llttlo luxuries that fall to Iho lot of the
famous nnd popular theatrical artist.
For eighteen months she remained a
reigning favorite in Paris , and then re
turned to her nntivo land , whore sho.
wnu linii "U" 1u u ir < tnnroula \ tl\o
part of Rosebud in tho. pantomime of
"Tho House That Jadj Uuilt , " which
was given at the Starai aton , Wolvor-
linmpton. ' "
It was during her oiVgH omont at this
theater that the wallHtihnvn American
manager , Mr , M. U.J Lnavltt , saw her
and recognized hdr unhio ns an attrac
tion for this country. Ho at once en
gaged her and they Mlllod lor America
on September 1. 18W-1Hor first AmerIcan -
Ican appearance was ' "mudo at the Hay-
marlcot theater , ChlcagottlU. , under the
managomcnt of Mournq ft Hlco. Tlio
play wac "My Aunt Urtdgot , " but Miss
Prlco ( siio was then unmarried ) ap
peared only In her sjioblaltlos , which
wore warmly received 'Whtl ' nightly on-
corod. f. i *
Her metropolitan < ftpponrnnco was
made under tho. mnnngqmcnt of Roster
iV Dial. Her Now \prk engagement
tatted nine monthi , which is in itself an
evidence of how she was received in the
critical metropolis of America Her
llrst American stay terminated with an
engagement with llnllon & Hart in
"Liter On. " after which she returned
to London to visit her mother and sister.
Here It should bo observed that a
glimpse into the private life of the pub
lic favorltoe \ rewarded b'y the knowl
edge that the young woman , In all her
tjicatrical triumps/has always oxhldltod
a tender love for nor mother'and her
Invalid sister , amounting almost to
devotion. It is n beautiful trait in any
charnctar , but especially so In ono
Where artistic success is so llablo to
turn the head of an artist nnd leave
them the essence and embodiment of
sol Ugliness. Instead of being spoiled by
public adulation , it seemed only to de
velop the gentler and sympathetic side
of her naturally sweat disposition.
Her next American season began with
Iss Prlco as the principal attraction of
MnrltR & SrthuofTor's \faudovlllos. At
the close of her Ponson with Uiotnt t > ho
engaged with Donnelly ft Girard to
appear as Jimpsoy In "Natural Gab. "
She remained with them until ill health ,
largely occasioned by mental distress
and su'lTorlng , forced her to temporarily
rolii'o from public llfo.
' The company during her engagement
with them , played at the Tabor Grand
opera house in Denver. It was at this
time that Millie Price was Introduced
to Clarence Merrill Dow , the son of a
wealthy banker. Yhoy mot , they loved
at least Clarence swore ho loved her
and the next day they were married.
I * was considered by all a genuine case
of love nt llrst sight , and life took on n
rosato line for the populiir llttlo actress.
Hut , alas , for man's vows , oaths nnd
protestations , for in little more than tv
week the merry , happy , hopeful bride
was n deserted wife. What heartaches ,
what anguish she must have suffered ! ,
who but herself can toll ? |
At the conclusion of her engagement
with Donnelly & Girard she wont with
these Immensely fiopulur managers ,
Hoyt & Thomas , appearing as the Flirt
in "A Trip to Chinatown , " but ill health
again forced her Into retirement from
the stago. She loft the company at
Kansas City and started for Now York
with the intention ot'golng direct from
there to her homo ihLnndon ; , F.nglund.
While onrouto aho suddenly became so
ill that she was compelled to stop at
Buffalo. N. Y. Her pljysicmn then pro
nounced her case critical'and she lingered -
erod ut death's dbbrfbr many weeks ,
but she eventually recovered and prom
ises to live long to qnterfaln , the public ,
with whom she is a gpnqral favorite.
Upon her convnloscencta she found her
self without money. ' Sno was amongst
strangers nnd penniless. Starvation
stared her in the face but' the plucky
spirit that had holpqd her overcome all
obstacles in , her proljossiflu did not desert
hor. She pawned .herdiamonds and
other valuables , together with her ward
robe ; and realized enough money there
from to take her to Denver , whore she
hoped her husband , who _ had sworn to
' love , honor and cherish her , " would
provide her with proper support III in
mind and body , and without money , she
tried all moans to obtain an interview
with her truant husband , but all her ef
forts in this direction were in vain.
Lifo for her seemed a cheerless waste ,
a dreary blank , a burden not worth
bearing.
Her arrival having beer , chronicled
in the daily press it caught the eye of
the over watchful agent of Suekott &
Lawler. Ho sought an interview and
finally succeeded in having her accept
an engagement with the amusement
firm ho represented. She was HO ill
that it boemod doubtful if she could
fulfill har engagement but she plueVlty
undertook to do so and succeeded , ? ) -
pcaring at Wonderland , the most pop
ular family resort in Donvor. She re
ceived a perfect ovation at the hands of
the sympathetic women of Denver , who
evidenced tholr sincerity by turning Out
in thousands to witness and applaud her
performances.
No bettor evidence of the Iclndly ,
cheering helpful sentiment of Denver's
women could bo produced than was
