The police department Is preparing to make hard times for Frederick A. Bruton, the man arrested Saturday night on a charge of wife beating. A consultation waa held at the office of the chief of police, at the suggestion of Mayor Moores, for the purpose of providing a penalty suitable for the crime, and It was decided that all of the powers of the state and the city should be brought to bear upon the alleged wife beater. Under the law a city prosecution is no bar to prosecution under the state law, so after Bruton has received a hear ing before Judge Berks the police, depart. ment will file charges with the county at torney and have Bruton prosecuted under the state law. "Wife beating is a form of brutality which shall not go unpunished If I can help It," said Mayor Moore. "It 1 inexcusable and if we can secure a conviction I will have Bruton prosecuted a far a any law will allow. The county attorney will not take the case before the police Judge, and I do not care. He can take It before any Justice of the peace he desires, but the case against Bruton will be carried aa far as possible." Police officers aay that Bruton has made a practice of not only beating his wife, but of kicking her, and that this ha continued for many year. OMAHA, Neb., March 24. 190S.

TRIES BISMARCK'S PATIENCE Wedding Ceremony Wherein Inter ested Parties Were Hot l' la Their Parts. Justice Altstadt performed a marriage ceremony Saturday afternoon that almost caused him to lose his patience. The con tracting parties were Pletrlo Turmaino and Mr. Carolina Slrvlawni Grande. After practicing the names for thirty minutes the Judge proceeded with the ceremony. "Do you take this woman, etc." The only aa ewer waa a nod of the head. Again the question waa propounded and again thi answer waa a nod. "That doesn't go here If It does In Italy." said the Judge, "you must say yes or no or these proceedings stop." After ten minutes were spent by the Interpreter explaining to the groom what the Judge meant, the "yss" was given, not in English, though to the sattafactlon of the bride. The same question was asked the bride-to-be. Before answering shs bad Pletrlo hsnd over his pocketbook and then proceeded to give her yes. When tha set tlement time came the bride found the purse contained only S. which "Bismarck" totvfca AfkiteJ,n jrftia BAD MONEY APPEARS COOD Secret 8erric Officer Tells of Perfection of Photographio Counterfeiting, ONLY DEFECT IS IN COLOR OF PAPER When Coloring; Is Perfected Photo, cmphern Will Be Able to Make Paper Money Hauler Than the Government. A new counterfeit, a national bank note upon the Merchants' and Farmers' bank of Weatherford, Tex., has been discovered by the United States secret service and re ported to the local officer of the depart ment. This is a photographic note, printed on two sheet of paper pasted together, be tween which silken threads have been in serted. It Is of the series of 1882. "This system of counterfeiting," said Cap tain John Webb, secret service officer, "Is going to bring about trouble for the present system of paper money. There Is Just one thing which will have to be perfected and then It will be practically impossible to detect counterfeits, and that la the color. When color photography has been perfected. or some system has been devised of stain ing photograph paper, then it will be nec essary for the government to devise some circulating medium other than paper money. A man with a camera can then make money more rapidly and a great deal easier than the United States Itself and detection will be practically impossible. The note Just re ported must be a fairly good reproduction aside from color, as no specific Imperfec tions by which it may be detected have been mentioned. Plates o Lunger Necessary. "In an earlier day the counterfeiter of money had to make a steel plate and operate a press. Aside from the danger of mistakes and imperfections In the plate there was an element of expense attached which made it practically Impossible for many to engage In the business. Then there have been attempts to pass zinc etchings. which were counterfeits hardly worthy of the name. The first photographic re production which caused trouble was one where the photograph had been printed on both sides of the same sheet of paper. It was not difficult to detect, but when I asked several photographers how It had been done they seemed to be unable to answer. Now that the photograph Is being printed upon two sheets and the threads Inserted the question Is becoming more Involved. Let them get the color correct and detection will be Impossible." Announcements of the Theatera. The social event of the week at the Or- pheum will be Elk's night given by local lodge No. 39 B. P. O. E. In honor of their distinguished brother Milton Nobles, who with his charming wife Dollle Nobles is presenting one of his little comedies en titled "Why Walker Reformed." Milton Nobles Is one of the oldest members of 39 and every time he visits the city devotes much of his time renewing association with the brothers. He naturally is the patron actor of the lodge and Elk'a night In his honor haa become one of the regular an nual eventa at the theater. The bill this week 1 a decidedly good one containing a well selected variety of pleasing acts. The regular Wednesday matinee will be given tomorrow. Miss Viola Allen and her great company come to the Boyd tomorrow night, a spe cial matinee Thursday and Thursday night In Lorlmer Stoddard's dramatization of of F. Marlon Crawford's romantic love story of old Madrid, "In the Palace of the King." The enormous business enjoyed by Mis Allen In other cities, and more es pecially during her long run In New York, augura well for the merit of the new play and the company presenting It. "In the Palace of the King Is divided into 'six cenes, and the several settings, copies of the apartments and great halls of the Alcazar, Madrid, are said to be of regal magnificence. The costume are correct copies of those worn during the time of Phillip the Second of Spain.

McCague, wife of Thomas McCague, D. D.. died yesterday morning at her home at 426 South Fortieth street, after an illness of only one day, death being the result of pneumonia, which developed Sunday. Sunday she attended church and after the service complained of pain in her lungs. This steadily became worse until the end at 7:15 yesterday morn ing. Mrs. McCague was an old resident of Omaha, coming to this city in 1867. She waa the daughter of John Lowes of Warren county, Ohio, and was educated at Oxford and South Salem, O. In July, 1864, she waa married to Rev. Thomas McCague and left with him In the aummer of the aame year to found the mission of the United Pres byterian church in Cairo, Egypt, which ha since grown to be such a power for good. None will ever know the trials, vlscissl- tudes and difficulties in this pioneer work in a strange land and among a atrange peo ple, with a new language to be learned, new cuatoma to be adopted and a new life lived, but no one ever heard this brave woman complain. In 1861 she returned to America, locating at Dea Moines, la. In 1466 the family nioted to Kebra City and In U67 came to Omaha, where they have sines resided. Immediately upon coming to Omaha a United Presbyterian church was started, Mr. McCague using largely of hi own mean for the erection of the building, which waa located near the Pacific school. Many of those who lived here at that time will re member the hand-to-hand struggle which was carried on and many speak to this day of her missionary zeal, her faith and her hope in this second pioneer field of her life. Not only In her own church, but In all charitable and Christian work, waa she ever ready to give of her time and her talenta. Few knew that among the Aasyrlan people of our own city she waa often found speak ing to them In their mother tongue, coun seling and helping them. She was one of the founder of tho Old Ladles' home and was always an active and energetic worker. Of the family surviving her are her hus band. Rev. Thomas McCague; her sons, John L., Thomas H. and George 8. of Omaha and William L. of Seattle, Wash., and Brower E. of St. Joseph, Mo.; her four daughters, Mra. Albert Gordon of Youngs town, O. ; Mrs. James H. McCulloch, Mr. George Marples and Miss Lydla McCague of Omaha.

' UNEXPECTED ONE-ROUND BOUTS COMMON Applicants . for License Consider It Pleasing; to Show Off the Intelll ' fence and Agility of Their "How-Wows." In issuing a dog license the employes of the city clerk's office ask three questions and write twenty words. Then they tear off the perforated certificate from the stub book and hand it to the applicant. This supposedly completes the job and It is about a minute's work, but if the clerk get out of it in lees than fifteen time that long he Is lucky, for of the 300 people who have secured licenses thus far 264 have in sisted on detailing the cleverness of their dogs and 182 of these have brought the animals with them to furnish ocular dem onstration In support of their statements. So the clerk's working staff expects to spend the major portion of ita daya from now till about June 1 watching the antics of dogs and refereelng kaleidoscopic aettos between those canines that ignore their masters' commands and endeavor to estab lish a new catchweight city hall champion whenever they meet another ready per former there on the aame errand. "A man standing here half a day and not ing the operation of the dog license clerk would hear scores and scores of stories about the wonderful Intelligence of the ani mals," said one of the clerk's employes, "and he would also be compelled out of courtesy to watch dogs do tricks until he was black In the face. "It Is astonishing how many people want us to know all about the animal on which they are taking out a dollar's worth of life Insurance. The old tales of bringing papa's slippers to him when he gets home at night, of watching for the newsboy and car rying In the papers unsolicited when they arrive, of finding a window open after the family haa retired and lying right down under it all night, of tracking the master ten miles In a buggy by the scent, of being borrowed by, a friend and taken up Into Brown county to hunt chickens and Imme diately on being loosed running on a cor rect geographical line for Omaha and get ting here ten hours afterward, having cov ered 200 miles meanwhile we have all those and more.
