PLAN TO CRUSH OUT AN EVIL

WAR DECLARED UPON THE "SCORCHERS"

The days of the "scorcher" In Omaha are
numbered. This flying , hump-backed emissary
of death terror to wheelmen , pedestrians
and drivers alike Is to be put out of existence -
once by mcanfl ot the strong arm ot Ihe law.
It Is to bo yanked Into durance vllo wherever
and whenever It Is spotted. Tims saveth anew
now order which was Insued yesterday by
Chief of Pollco Siguart.
As steel should bo fought with steel , so
"scorcher" will bo fought with "scorcher. "
Two husky lads who arc "hot bovs" them
selves when occasion requires are to be de
tailed to begin the work of destruction. They
are Officers Darncs and Ualdwln. lloth are
veteran wheelmen and both are able to give
any one a chase. These two policemen were
detailed for the special duty yesterday after
noon for the first time. They are not as
signed permanently to this work , but will go
out after their prey , sometimes In the mornIng -
Ing , sometimes In the afternoon and some
times In the evening , duilng the remainder
of the season. They will at all times be
I arrayed In citizens' clothes or hlccle uni
form and will never have brass buttons In
eight. The war Is to bo * o the death and
nicrclleiH and therefoie the "scorcher" will
bo given no warning.
The special policemen will spend most ot
.their time upon the level thoroughfares lu
Hhe northern part of thu city , where there
are no hills to check the evil. ghcVman
ivenuc. North Twentieth , North Twenty-
fourth , tin- boulevard and the paved streets
In Kounlzo addition will bo the particular
campaigning ground. Any rider found going
faster than ten miles an hour along these
streets will be promptly arrested. This IB
tir ! > rate of speed alloucd by the city ordi
nances.
This action on the part of the pollco force
Is the result of complaints that have been
received. As the season Is opening and the
weather and the roads arc becoming good
1 complaints are Increasing to an alarming ex
tent. Up to date no serious accidents have
occurred , but there have be-on BO many nar
row escapee that Chief Slgwart decided to
put an pnd to "scotching" before thcrovero
serious results.
The particular complaint has been from
street car passengers , nlio allege that as they
alight from the street cars their lives nro
frequently put In danger by the "scorcher. "
Several people have already been knocked
down on Sheiman avenue and North Twenty-
fourth street by the wild wheelmen.

Three "SeoreherM" Are Arrenteil for
I'liNt Itldlnu.
Officers Daldwlu and Barnes , detailed by
Chief Slgwatt to arrest all "scorcheri , " vvoio
the busiest people In town last night. Their
early training In cv cling stood them well In
need , for their poncrs were tested to the
limit from the tlmo they mounted their
wheels shortly after 7 o'clock , until mid
night.
The officers were arravcd In citizens'
clothes and attracted but little attention as
they slowly w heeled Ihelr way up Sherman
avcnuo about 8 o'clock. When nearly oppo-
alto the Omaha Drew Ing association the offi
cers discerned a light brown streak coming
down the avcnuo with the Impetuosity of n
whirlwind. Upon passing It was found to
bo a solitary wheelman who was evidently
laboring under the delusion that he could
shatter the city ordinances with Impunity.
Thu officers called upon him to slow up but
bo grinned at them ovr his shoulder and
pressed down upon the pedals the haider.
At the corner of Clark street the wheelman
barely missed a woman and child who were
cr6sslng the street and then tore on down
the avcnuo with the olllcers In hot pursuit.
It was a pretty race from the start. The
"hot boy" spat upon his hands nnd stiuck
a pace which threatened to chatter all
rocoids Telephone poles and pcdcstilans
Hashed by ( ho trio like spectators at a merrj-
go-iound. The ' 'urorcher" had a good chance
of winning , If It had not been for a circum
stance which ho had overlooked. Down near
Sixteenth and the Missouri Pacific tracks
tlo asphalt pavement cca.scs and the road
way for half a block Is of rough stono.
When the wheel struck this portion of the
elrcot It bounded Into the air for several
feet , and when It alighted upon the giotind
again the "waim thing" who 1mb no respect
for the lives of pedestrians , was c prisoner.
The wheelman and his machine were bun
dled Into the patrol wagon and taken to the
station.
.When being searched by the jailer , the
prisoner gave the name of William Kelly and
Muted that ho wan a machinist employed by
the Kntz-Novins company. Ho told the olll
cers at the station that ho covered the dis
tance from Corby to Nicholas street Insldo
of tinco minutes Ho admitted that he knew
ho ANBS fracturing ho city lawn , but seemed
to think them of Ilttlo Import when It con-
ccined his own particular pleasure. Kelly was
locked up In ono of the cells for nearly an
hour , when a brother called nnd put up a
bond of $50 for his appearance' before Judge
Gordon today.
Iho next record breaker who fell Into the
int'ghoB of the law was Thomas Wagoner , a
baiber , ulio has only lately como Into pos
session of a wheel. Ho took up a chase for
the city , along Sherman avenue , and was
captured near Locust Btieet. Ho wjs locked
i : up In default of furnishing ball.
Thu Hi lid culprit was John Norbcrg , who
was captured near Sixteenth and Cumlng
streets.
Chief Slgnart statedlast night that ho
proposed to put an absolute stop to bicycle
speed Ing within tbo city limits , and that Offi
cers Ualdwln and Ilarrcs would bo placed on
special duty in this connection until the
nuisance was stopped , He stated that In the
north end of the city where smooth pave
ments prevail residents complained to him
repeatedly of the scorchera. They averred
that their lives were In danger wherever they
had occasion to cross the streets and that n
certain clement of the wheelmen persisted
In disregarding the rights and lives of oth
ers. Moro arrests will undoubtedly follow.

Accinicil of HnvInK A Hnnlc < l n
Chllil.
Victor Koch , a German some 40 years of
age , was arrested Monday night on the charge
of attempting to criminally assault the 3-year-
old daughter of Ernest Holdcn of 1S29 North
Twenty-second street.
The story of the alleged assault was lleped
to her mother by the Ilttlo child herself. It
was upon the statements of the girl that the
arrest was made , but these have been fully
substantiated. Two physicians , upon ex
amination , have declared that an attempt
was inado to osfault the girl. The condition
of the clothing on Koch's person furnishes
the evidence that supports the Ilttlo girl's
statement.
The alleged assault occurred In an old
shed upon the Holden premises between G
and C:30 : o'clock .Monday afternoon. Koch
had been boarding with the Holdcns for sit
months nnd was employed recently Upon their
garden. Ho was well liked and the Holdens
allowed him to look after the child , for whom
ho showed much affection.
Monday afternoon Mrs. Holden was en
gaged In bouso cleaning and the child was
turned over to Koch. At 6 o'clock the
mother missed them. She searched for them ,
but without anxiety. The couple returned at
G'30 o'clock. The little girl was In tears and
told her mothei the story. Koch denied that
ho had dune any harm to the Ilttlo one , al
though ho acknowledged that she bad been
with him.
Yesterday Koch maintained hla Innocence ,
desplto the evidence against him. Hie
will be charged with assault. The phy
sicians say that thu little girl Is not perma
nently Injured.
Koch was yesterday afternoon bound over
by Judge Gordon to the district court , the
bonds being placed at $2,000. In default ot
furnishing the amount ho was sent to the
county jail to await trial.

Upon n. SlitiMtnlk.
To the overflow of the Missouri river upon
the bottoms ot North Omaha , John Johnson
can ascribe his arrest. If the water hod not
poured flvo feet deep over Ogden street , near
Thirteenth , It would not have carried off
n four-foot sidewalk and deposited a six-
foot walk In Its place. It was for driving
for a block along the six-foot sidewalk to
keep out ot the mud In the stiect that John
son was arrested Monday. Ho could not
have driven along the four-foot walk.
The people along Ogden street have com-
plnlncd that the sidewalk was being used
b > drlvcis ns a roadway. A couple of officers
were sent out to the vicinity Monday to
put n stop to the practice. They arrived just
In time to catch Johnson In the act , they say.
North Omaha people are also disturbed over
the tearing up of sidewalks ana thefts of the
planks They have become so urgent In
their objections to this practice that Sidewalk
Inspector Stockham yesterday caused war
rants to bo Issued for the arrest of Will
GiCLnvtllo and John Law son on the charge
of destroy Ins the walks and taking the
planks. _ _

John McConncll of Somerset , who has been
arrested on a charge of trying to defraud the
government. McConnell mailed letters to
rallioad officials and marked on the envelopes
enclosing the communications the letters "R.

Interest to the railroad people , and as Mc

The matter of the Omaha Indian Supply
depot occupied the attention of the ex
ecutive committee of the Commercial club
at Its meeting today. Secretary Utt re
ported that as a result ot his visit last week
to Topcka , the Kansas representatives In
congress wcro Induced to add their support
to the measure and would vote for the loca
tion of the depot In Omaha. The club has
thus succeeded In swinging the Kansas and
Iowa delegations into line. A vote of thanks
to both the Topeka and the Council Bluffs
people for the action they have taken lu the
matter was passed.
The club took further action regarding the
falsehoods that marked a recent article ap
pearing In McCluro's magazine , and which
was Intended to depict the barrenness of the
state. In her answer to the criticisms made
upon the article Allco French , the ( authoress ,
referred to S. F. Oilman of this state as
authority for the statements she made.
It has developed that Miss French put her
foot In It badly when she made this reference
Mr. Oilman 1ms Informed the club that he has
not seen the womau for months. Ho ab
solutely repudiates the contents of the
article. Ho Is preparing to plant thousands
of acres In the state and adds as a result
of a recent visit through northwestern Ne
braska that he never saw such a fine agri
cultural country. These statements of Mr
Gllninn will be sent to the McClure Magazine
when a retraction will bo demanded.
Secretary Utt was given authority to do Ell
In his power to secure the holding of some
twenty additional annual meetings of associa
tions and bodies In this city during exposi
tion year.
The California sugar manufacturers re
quested the club to petition congress to annul
the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii by which
the latter's sugar Is Imported free of charge.
The club did not care to meddle In the matter
and referred the request to Congressman
Mercer.
The Western Classification committee wll
hold a meeting In Chicago on May 18 to
revise the classification list. As a good many
of the Items Interest Missouri river jobbers
the freight committee was Instructed to make
recommendations regarding the classifica
tions.
Ex-Goverror Furnas appeared before the
comhilttpc to make an explanation regarding
the Board of Agriculture's connection , with
the State Fair Bulletin , against which there
Is some sentiment. Ho stated that the paper
was not an authorized organ of the board ,
although the fair was given a free advertise
ment for four months in It. The board also
received 60,000 copies a month fieo for dis
tribution. He said that the board did not
care whether the paper lived or not. He
said that If Omaha merchants objected to It
they coould speedily kill It by refusing to ad-
vertlso In it.
John C. Howard and George M. Nattlnger
were elected members of the club. John S
Brady resigned as a member of the com
mittee and his place was filled by the election
of Charles Urquhart.
The meeting was > attended by President
Knox of the real estate convention , whlcl
will convene in the Commercial club at 1C
o'clock tomorrow morning.

MUST I'AY TAX O.\
Count } AVI ii * n Suit Appealed
from the Count } Commissioners.
The county of Douglas was victorious In a
suit bi ought by the Bankers' Life aBsoclatlor
of Des Molnca against the coupty to avoid
the payment of certain taxes , the court hold
ing. that the company was not exempt from
the payment of taxes on Us "premiums , '
notwithstanding It was a "mutual" company
and the premiums were called "as
sessments. "
When , the tax levy was made last June
this company , by its attorney , appeared be
fore the county commissioners and asked
that the tax levied agalnut It on Its premiums
bo canceled , setting up the claim that I
was a mutual company and that It levlec
no premiums on its members , claiming Im
munity fiom taxation on the ground that the
law passed by the leclslaturo In 1895 , ex
empting "mutual" companies from sucl
taxation , applied to the Bankers' Life associ
ation.
The comrr Itsloners denied the apppllcatlon
and the insurance company appealed the case
to the district court , tne attorney saying he
wanted to in a lie a test case in Don gluts
county , as the came point was being ralsec
In every county In the state.
The case was heard at Intervals during
vacation by Judge Slabaugh. The county
was represented by Assistant County Attor
ney Day , who took the position that the law
quoted by the Insurance company had refer
ence only to such companies as came within
the purview of the whole law , of which the
section quoted was only a part and had no
reference whatever to such companies as
the Bankers' Life. He argued that the "as
sessments" levied by the company to pay Its
losses were "premiums" within the meaning
of the law and were subject to taxation.
Mr. Diy also took the position that the tax
complained of was levied under the general
revenue law of the utato and was unques
tionably authorized by the revenue law. He
argued that If the law quoted by the attor
ney for the other side amended the general
royenuo law In the manner charged , it was
iTnconstltutloral for the reason that that fact
was not stated lu the title or tbo body of
the law referred to.
In handing down his opinion on this mat
ter Judge Slabaugh held with the assistant
county attorrey and sustained the action of
the county commissioners In refusing to can-
eel the taxes.
The case will probably bo appealed to the
supreme court.
Court iSriintN tin * Decree ,
The application of Lucy Hllcr for a divorce
from Peter Hllor was heard before Judge
Scott Monday. The application was based
oil allegations of cruelty , drunkenness and
general depravity. The Hllers are well known
residents of Douglas county , owning a large
amount of land near Detinjngton. A number
of wltneEscs were examined for both sides
and at the conclusion of the hearing It was
agreed that n divorce should be granted , but
that before this Is done the property rights
of the parties will be adjusted amicably out
of court and the decree will then bo entered.

beer Muni .Not Me Intituled.
It Is doubtful It any modern commodity
excepting money , has been rountcrfcltct
more than Hires Hootbccr , Us wide popularlt
and Immense sale having proved an trrenlstl
bio attraction for the unscrupulous Imitator
Justice Is beginning to realize that th
public must bo protected from such practice
as Is evinced by the decision Just renderc
by Judges Flnlcttcr and Gordon In Phlla
dclphla , Court of Common Pleas No. 3 , re
straining George A. Hires , a namesake of Mr
Charles E. Hires , from manufacturing am
selling a preparation under the name of Hire
Rootbecr. In giving their decision the judge
said :
"Whether this case be considered as one o
Infringement of n trade mark or aa a slmula
lion Intended and likely to deceive the public
the evidence la most conclusively with th
plaintiff.
It Is established that an article of commerce
merco known as "Hires Rootbeer , " by a long
and costly method of adveitlscinent , has at
talncd a trade mark and value peculiar t
Itself. The pales have reached an cxtraordl
nary yearly volume , and the artl
cle Is known to consumers am
merchants by the designation o
"Hires llootbcer , " and often and peihip
as commonly by the namq of "Hires" nlone
The shape and color of the cartons , as wel
as the general typography and substance o
the printed matter thereon , and the shap
of the bottles have also been peculiar to th
article made by the plaintiff , and have servei
to give It commercial distinction and Identity
The respondent Hires , a kinsman of th
plaintiff , availing himself of the samcneea
of family name Is about to manufacture am
place on the market , for sale a root bee
which In all the externals of physical prepar
atlon and presentation Is so nearly an approach
preach to I'm plaintiff's commodity that , bu
for the use of the Christian or surname of th
icspoudent Hires , It might be termed a com
plete reproduction of the plaintiff's prepara
tlon and device. The carton , Its color , th
substance of the printed matter , .the bottle
the indicating designation of title , all whll
slightly varying from the plaintiff's device-
make up a trade commodity which , except t
the sophisticated or closely Inquisitive , wouli
be taken to be a like article to the plain
tiff's
It Is not necessary now to pass upon th
question of how far a , family name jnav be
the subject of a trade mark so ate exclud
from Us use others who lawfully bear It. Ihe
UEO of the family name In the present case
only Increases most potently Increases the
conjoined force and effect of respondent's
other devices In working the deceptive slmu
latlon.
AH cases of this character must depeiu
upon their own facts and circumstances.
Actual fraudulent Intent can never he In
ferrcd from anything outside of the case It
set' .
The testimony In the case now before us
wo think , makes It Indubitably clear that th
respondent purpose their sole and only
purpoic war. to fabricate nn article of trade
which In shape , color designation of name
and general appearance resembled the plain
tiff's article , and thereby deceive and mis
lead the public and purchasers generally.
It 'Is Impo'siblei'to ' como to anyi other con
cluslonibut that this was the main Intent o
tha respondents.
But for the fortuitous Identity of , family
name , It is clear that the respondent woul
never have embarked In this proposed com
merclal venture , and the evidence shows tha
their studied purpose was to copy as close to
the appearance and name of plaintiff's ar
tlclo as possible , and preserve similarity
whllo yet presenting minor differences.
Wo find , therefore , upon the evidence nov
presented , that the allegations of the plain
tiff's bill are established and that the tern
porary Injunction prayed for should hi
awarded.
Therefore , let preliminary Injunction be
continued against George A. Hires , and issue
against Joseph H. Ingersoll and Robert C
Ingersoll , and against them and any of then
trading as George A. Hires and Company.

NO "SUBSTITUTE" CONSIDERED
SIDERED-
Let llaeh .Stiuiil on ItH Ortii Mcrltx.
A great many "Imitations" of , and "substl-
tutes" for coffee are being offered on the
market at present. The fact that such a
great number of Intelligent people cannot di
gest regular coffee leaves a fertile field for
the manufacturers of so-called "substitutes , "
but. In the opinion ot the writer , thcro Is no
substitute for coffee.i Coffee Is a distinct
delicious beverage , .andi any substitute for It
Ls Inclined to raise a. feeling of disgust In
the mind of the drinker ; on the other hand ,
( hero is a 1'ostum' ' Cereal beverage , made
from the pure grains , , that Is not offered as
a substitute for coffta nor as an Imitation
of anything , but Is a distinct , separate , In
dividual beverage InUhe family of hot drinks ,
being neither tea , coffee , chocolate nor an
Imitation of , or " .substitute" for , any of
.hcao. Incidentally , It looks exactly like the
finest Mocha coffee and has much the snappy ,
delicious taste of fine coffee , but the careful
drinker can detccttm distinct flavor ot the
grains , and this flavor sets up a new taste
which as surely takea pocxjeaslon of the user
as coffee or tea ever did. The redeeming
feature ot this newly -acquired taato it the
[ act that the habit Is acquired for a puru
Health food drink , made from the grains
uaturo Intended for tbo use of man , and by
.ho discontinuance of coffee the ordinary
'orina of stomach ( rouble , heart palpitation ,
Iver difficulty and excessive nervous Irrita
bility disappears. Nature Is uaUted by the
nourishing food for the nervous oystciu , to
eet up a condition of health and strength , not

strong flow Is secured , sufficient to supply the
entire grounds , other wells will be sunk by
the exposition management to furnish all
tha water required for the grounds.
-Mr. Nebergall Is the man who has been
busily engaged In sinking arteelan wells about
Omaha for the past two or three > ears. He
put In the well In Illvervlew park , which
produced a flow sufficient to fill a good sized
lake ; a well In Clmwood park , another on
the grounds of the Omaha Urowlng associa
tion and a number of others In various parts
of the city , some for private parties and
others for the public use. The finding of
water on the exposition grounds Is as near a
certainty as Is possible- assure In any work
of this kind , but such a thing as a failure
to strike water Is not considered within the
possibilities by experts In such matters.
After going down about 1,000 feet It IR
proposed to "shoot the well" by putting a
heavy charge of dynamite at the bottom and
exploding It. This will open up seams In
every direction and Increase the flow of the
v.ater. By means of a simple device known
among engineers as an "nlr lift , " the water
may bo forced to almost any desired height
and given almost any force desired. This
method will bo used to produce fountains
and all kinds of artistic effects. The cost
of this sort of water supply will bo merely
nominal as compared with the cost of water
furnished by the Omaha Water company , and
the purity of the water thus furnished , It
Is said , will bo far buperlor to that of the
water works.

It happened this way : The jobber who or
dered them meant well enough , The factory
that made them up meant well enough. The
salesman who took the order meant well enough
too , probably , but the order got mixed up some
how , and the sizes were not right and the jobber
refused to take 'em , and , well there were too
many for any store but The Nebraska , and so
they came to us , and we put 'em on sale today
50 cases of them at $1.50 per pair instead of
the $2.50 which they were meant to be. They
are solid calf , solid soles , solid counters , solid

Ono of tbo worst cases of depravity that
haa como to the notice of the Omaha police
for some time past wus brought to light yes
terday In the person of Kitty Milton. She w
barely 17 > ears of age , but knows more of
the wicked ways of the world than the average -
ago sinner at 40. The young girl up until
three weeks ago lived with her parents at
Dcnlson la. Her father , II. T. Milton , Is a
brkl ; contractor. The clrl lias dlsplajed an
Inclination to Itcep bad company for about a
year past , although the pirents ha.\o done
their utmost t keep her from these evil as
sociations. Their endeavors ptoved In vain ,
and three weeks ago they sent her to thld
city to llvo with an old friend whose name
Is Mrs. Tubbs Three days after the young
girl arrived In Omaha the told Mrs. Tubba
that she had secured a position as mute In
the household of a respectable Omaha fam
lly. Upon these assertions she wus allowed
to go.
Healing nothing froic the girl the father
at length became worried about her and ur-
rlved In Omaha Sunday to look her up. A
search in company with two officers failed
to throw any light on the whereabouts of
the girl until jcsterday , when she was lo
cated In a flat near Twelfth and Douglas
Directs. According to the statements of the
landlady the girl had become a common btieet
When taken to the station the girl cursed
her father a then th3 offlcora for their In
terference. She declared she would not go
homo under any consideration ; that she cared
nothing for ner parents , and that she pie-
ferred her present form of Mfc to any other.
The father wept In front of the ofllcors at
the unnatural conduct ot Ills child and rea
soned with her In every manner possible to
get her to accompany him back to thtlr homo
peaceably.
The girl , however , proved obstinate to the
last and the father waa at length foiced to
call In the assistance of a friend to help him
take her back to Uenlson. She will prob
ably bo placed In a hospital for a tlmo and
then sent to the house of coirectlon.
