Ulanche Fisher , tlio girl who was missing
from her home Saturday night and Sunday ,
was found at I'apllllon yesterday morning
and brought back home by her parents In the
afternoon. The girl has had cjulto an ex
perience and her friends hope that It will

of whom they know * nothing.
Him was found by the marshal of Papllllon ,
who had read about her disappearance In The
Dec. With the description In his possession
he placed her In custody and telephoned the
Omaha police , who In turn notMed lllanclie'
parents , and they went after"hcr on the first
train.
According to the girl's story to her parents
after their arrival at 1'jpllllon , she left home
about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon for the
ostensible purpose of meeting her father , who
Is one of the butchers at Curiahy's packing
house In South Omaha. Instead of going
there she went to the Union Pacific depot ,
bought a ticket to Mlllard and by mistake
got off at the wrong station. When she was
first approached by the marshal slio denied
her Identity , but after she was shown the
article In The Ilee she gave up and said that
Mie was the right party. The marshal re
ceived word from Omaha to hold her until
her parents could reach that place.
TKLT/rAT.K tjHTTKUS.
Tllnnche agreed to come home with her
mother , ami wns seen at her borne , 2121
South Sixteenth Htrcet , by a reporter for
The Ilee. She reftiHed to talk to any one.
When she watt nski-d several questions
Bho refused to answer , ami when nlie was
urged became quite angry and paid that
her affairs concerned no one except lier-
.Mrs. FJsher , who lakes her daughter's
conduct much to heart , mild that while
looking through Hlnncho'H trunk yesterday
she found a couple of bittern , which went
to HUOW that the girl has been carrying
on a clandestine love affair. A letter writ
ten In a line business hand and Blgned
"C. O. W. , " stated that the writer had
Keen her at the theater and wondered it
she had ever seen him. She wn cautioned
not to forget nn appointment widen she
wan alleged to have made to meet him
In South Omaha on Sunday lust. Another
letter , which Ulanche had written but had
not mailed , was found , which upbraided
her unknown lover In strong terms , In
which she said that Hhe thought that he
was trying to make a fool of her , and she
K.'ive him a roasting for not meeting hi-r
ns he promised In one of his letters. It
was also found out that the girl hud
been carrying on this clandestine corrc-
Hpondence under the name of " 1'enrl Mon
roe , " nnd that Home frlond of herself and
her lover had been acting ns a go-between
and was receiving this mall , after which
und during the absence of her mother the
innll would be delivered to lilanche.
WOUIjD NOT TELL HIS NAME.
The girl would not toll the name of her
lover , and threats nnd entreaties proved
In vain. She said that he was a'"type
writer , " about 1 ! ) years old , nnd a good-
looking fellow. It Is believed that lie Is
employed In one of the downtown olllces.
If Mrs. Fisher can learn hlw name she
nays she will proseciite him , and the olll-
cers are now at work on the case.
Blanche says that ' ( . ' . C. W. " Rent her
money to go to Mlllard to meet him , and
that both of them were going to work
to earn enough money to live on , and that
they could then be together. She would not
sny that they Intended to get married , and
her mother thinks that her lover Is some
unscrupulous young man who sought to
take advantage of her daughter's Infutti-
tlon und inexperience nnd ruin her.
\VIiert Bhinche got' off the cars at Papll-
llun the train wns gone before she dis
covered her mistake. She had money
enough to pay her expenses over Sunday ,
but she didn't have a cent when her par
ents came after her. Shu declares that
she will remain true to her lover and will
not give him away. She also says ( hut she
will meet him again. Mrs. Fisher says she-
am ! her husband have done all that they
could to irmko life pleasant for their daugh
ter. She lias not had to work , has been
allowed to go to proper places of amuse
ment , und was provided with good clothes ,
but the very thing that her parents tried"
to prevent took place.

lo for the Parks.
The question of engaging music for llan-
pcom and other parks by the park board
for the summer Is already being talked of.
Tlio citizens living out near IlcinlH park
have petitioned the board to give them n
band as often aa they sect lit , and there are
other localities that would not object if the
board would locate a band of musicians in
their midst If they only gave u concert once
n week ,
The music bill last season was about
$2.000. One-half of tlila was paid by the
cur company and tUy other lialf by
the board. Music was only impptled for ono
park then. The Fort Omaha band charges
$7C a day for their services , and other bands
cost about the same. The Seventh Ward
band and the Musical Union arc the only
organized bands In the city outside of the
Fort band , nnd It I * likely the park board
will divide the business among nil of them ,

sidered for what they are worth.
The case was on for hearing before Judge
Ferguson last Saturday , when the defend
ants moved to strike the affidavits of Frank
Dungan from the flies , urging that It was
Irrelevant , for the reason that It referred tea

on the Sunday before the last election.
It was In this affidavit that Wiley
of the electric light company Is alleged
to have said to the oinant , "Now wo
own Jacobsen , body nnd soul , " referring to
Councilman Jacobsen. It was In this affida
vit that the alllant averred that acting un
der the Instruction of Wiley he located three
lights to aid In the re-election of Councilman
Hack nnd that afterwards the lights were
charged against the city.

the Ancient Order of Hibernians was held at
Gcrmanla hall last evening to make further
arrangements for tlio reception nnd enter
tainment of tlio national convention of the

press upon the members the necessity of
united effort In order to make the conven
tion n success.

FROG FARMING ,
Air. Wctri-l Ir crlbr8 tlio Xnliiro and Profit *
of the IJimlnexB.
A great many people are familiar with
methods of raising successful crops on
farms that arc under cultivation , but few
possess knowledge of profitable Investments
In'crops raised under water.
Nat Wetzel of Kansas City , who Is nt
the Paxton , Is nn authority on the latter.
He is Interested In several extensive frog
farms In Missouri , and is now In Omaha
reaping the benefits of this season's har
vest of hoppers.
"The most successful frog farm Is a
natural lake , " said Mr.Vutzel. . "The great
trouble with frog raisers Is their desire lo
make the lakes too picturesque. A plain ,
everyday body of water without improve
ments Is the best. I have one frog farm
offifteen acres In Missouri. This was
originally stocked with 1,500 frogs for breedIng -
Ing purposes , and the results were most
gratifying. Frogs should be 4-year-olds for
breeders. Put them In the farm in the
spring , and you will find a crop of young
frogs In the fall. The frogs of the llrst
crop are not ready for the market until
they are one year old. These frogs are
causht and their legs sold as an epicurean
delicacy at prices ranging from 0 cents to
$1.BO tier dozen. The increase in demand
for frog legs hns made farming of this
kind popular and profitable. There are
many ways to catch the frogs for market.
Some rfpear them , and , others use target
rllles with success , but the best method Is
to bait hooks with a piece of red flannel.
Frogs are fond of red , and gr.ib It wherever
they see It.
"Fiogs have more sagacity than they
are credited with possessing ; 1 firmly .be
lieve that they have a language ami it
would be a good Idea for' ' Prof. Garner to
devote his attention to the articulatlve
powers of the American frog1 Instead of

Seaman Pleaded Cnllty.
William Seaman , son of W. T. Seaman ,
was arrested yesterday on the charge of
having received stolen property. It was
alleged by n man named Oallngher , who
wns arrested a few days ago. as having
stolen n harness from W. C. Orr , 2110 Kin-
met street , that he sold It to Seaman. Gal
lagher said , lit took the harness there about
10 o'clock In the morning , and also a horse ,
whfcli he wanted to sell. The trade was
made. W. T. Seaman nt the time was
alleged to have said that the man who
desired to sell the horse-and harness went
to his place at 11 o'clock In the night , nnd
that ho ( W. T. Seaman ) had to arouse his
son , William , the young man now under
arrest , to get up and negotiate a trade.
He did so , and the next day Gallagher
was arrested for the larceny of the hur-
ness. He claimed it was a piece .of spite-
work on the part of some of his enemies ,
but after the police worked on the case
a while they satisfied themselves that the
harness was stolen , and after closely ques
tioning Gallagher he said he sold it to
young Seaman ,
The latter pleaded guilty to receiving
stolen properly. As the punishment for this
IB both a fine and Imprisonment , In the
discretion of the court , U Is a high mis
demeanor , and must be tried by a jury.
For this reason Judge Horka reserved his
decision till today.
In the meantime Seaman Is out on a
bond signed by his father.

WASHINGTON , D. 0. . April 2. Tlio con

by the revelation of certain fliturcsvhlcl
tlio Health department of the overtimed
hns produced. It Is shown that , ns com
pared with other nations , America Is li
fact a nation of starvelings. Wo product )
the grain , the bcof , the | ) ork to feed the
world ; but Americans , themselves , appear
thin , pale and often puny. Authorities arc
asking why this should bo so , and It has
been declared that It Is because we arc so
Intense , so active as a nation. A prominent
man In an olllclal capacity , however , has
declared that It Is because Americans do
not secure the proper bcnellt from the foot !
they eat. Ho asserts that "the food that
gets Into the stomach Is not digested , but
after taxing the body to try to digest It , It
falls to make any blood , thus leaving the
body In a worse condition than before tin-
food was taken. A man or woman might
as well starve outright , as to take food Into
the stomach and not have It digest. "
It Is perhaps because of this revelation
that the new discovery known as 1'askola ,
the flesh-forming food , Is attracting so
much attention just now. A well known
statesman In speaking upon the subject
yesterday , said :
"I do not know what I should do with
all the cares and duties I have , If I had not
something upon which to build my strength.
I have found that ordinary foods do not
answer the purpose , but I have found that
by the steady use of I'askola , I have no
trouble with Indigestion and have gained
a number of pounds In weight. Kor this
reason I feel that I can not get along with
out it. "
The eminent man above quoted Is only
one of a great many who are starting In
the new and advanced path which has been
shown to be the short cut to health and
strength , and the attention of the people of
Washington Is centered upon this subject
which Is known to be so Important.
A pamphlet giving full particulars re
specting I'askola will be sent on applica
tion to the I're-lMgested Food Co. , 30 Iteade
