Deeds Among the passengers la the sleeping car Ilvola when tt left Omaha over the Wabash at 5:65 last night for 8t. Loula were Mrs. Mamie Sadler of 119 North Fifteenth street, her daughter, Wllhelmlna, and De tective Drummy. The mother was tearful, the girl was Bobbing and the detective didn't appear particularly hilarious, for be tween the women was ' an estrangement which seemed wholly unnatural and which made the situation embarrassing for all three. Wllhelmlna Is the girl for whose love Dorre 8. Howard, a messenger boy aged 18, twice shot himself In the breast Saturday afternoon a week ago at the Arcade hotel, to which place the girl had betn Invited by Walter W. Daly of St. Louis, a friend of hir mother's and a supposed suitor of the girl. After the shooting the boy was taken to the Central honpltal and with him went Wllhelmlna, who has been a faithful and vigilant volunteer nurse ever since. Yes terday afternoon the boy had recovered sufficiently to return to the rooming place at 124 North Fifteenth street, conducted by hit father, and again Wllhelmlna traveled with him. On December 23 she was 18 years old and had broken with her mother, partly on the boy"t account, and gone to live with an other girl at Seventeenth and California After the shooting she announced a deter mination to live with Dorre's parents at toon as he returned to them. They were willing, but her mother was not. The lat ter vowea mat tne Howards flat was no fit place because Maloney theater girls roomed there and she sought a way to pre vent her daughter's going to the place. Attorney John O. Velser found. In the peculiarities of the Texas law, a means to accomplish Mrs. Sadlcr'a purpose. In Ne braska a girl becomes of age upon her eighteenth birthday, but the laws of Texas section 2471, read: "Male persons under 21 years of age and females under 21 years of age who have never been married are minors." Moreover, until a child Is of age his or her home Is considered In law to be properly wherever the parents' domicile may be. Wllhelmlna never has married and her mother claimed Texas as properly their domicile. Sentinel Has Lan Vlcll. with these facts as arguments. Attorney Tetser secured an order for a writ of habeas corpus last Friday and had a senti nel posted in Mrs. Sadler's windows to detect the arrival of the boy and the girl at the Howard fiat across the street. It was a long vigil, but finally was rewarde yeaterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. As soon as the girl had time to become settled In the apartments the Howards had pre pared for her, Detectives Drummy an Mitchell called and, without protest from the senior Howard, took the girl before. Judge Baxter, who had Issued the writ. The mother, being called as the first wit nets, testified that her husband, the girl' father, had been divorced a dozea years ago, had not been heard from in ten years and was supposed to be dead; that mother and daughter came to Omaha from San Antonio, Tex., only for the exposition of 18SS; that the mother became Involved In a business way and had to atay longer; that the girl was placed In Mount St Mary's academy (at,Fifteenth and Castellar streets and did so well in music that the mother haa remained In Omaha expecting the daughter to complete her training next May; that three months ago the girl was expelled for slipping from the convent at night and remaining away with Dorrs Howard until a tardy morning hour; that notwithstanding this, the mother hoped to have her reinstated and then go back to Texas in the spring. Mrs. Sadler denied ever Intending to make Omaha her perma nent home. Wllhelmlna on the atand said she bad always looked upon Texas aa home, but that her mother did not understand her and they could not get along together any where. The only other witness was De tective Drummy, who gave It as his opinion that the Howard flat was not a proper place for the girl to be. Judge Baxter waa thus persuaded tha. ths mother' domicile la properly In Texas, that the girl la therefore subject to the laws of Texas and henco a minor, subject to her mother's control. He accordingly algned an order giving the parent the cus tody, and ths sobbing, disappointed and estranged daughter was railroaded to St. Louts, where Daly lives and where there Is a satisfactory convent, before she could get to see her youthful lover. To a re porter she declared she would kill herself If the new conditions are Insisted upon by her mother. Florence. Mrs. A. P. Griffin was a buslnesn visitor in omaha Friday.

Cola feet, chilly sensations, stiffness in muscles end joints, weak stomacL and poor digestion, lack, of energy, and drowsiness, nervousness, etc., show that old age bat been reached ahead of time.

Th srtlcl said that 1 re fused to apvak on the subject, but to mak the matter positive I desir to say that I had nothing to do with the article, and th publlcaucn of the news waa a surprise to me. no one having ny authority from m to speak on the subject.

THiiODOHE It. JOHXSON. A bountiful treasure ha h. mho hat a stork of Cook's Imperlsl Extra Dry Cham lyaga. It has (-urlty, quality and ag. While some of the members ef the char ter revision committee favor a Are police board, there Is considerable opposition to the same, and It may be that thla section will be left out of the amendment being prepared. It It asserted that there it no necessity for going to th expense of pay ing a commission to handle a department composed of only thirty men. At the pres ent time the police department ht twenty one men and the fire department makes the total thirty. "If a commission I to be appointed." said a former member of the legislature to The Bee last night, "we hope the appoint ments will not be msde by the governor of the state. We cannot tee how a gov ernor totally unacquainted with local con ditions can appoint a board tatlsfactory to the majority of the people. We would tuggett that the mayor, treasurer and the tax commissioner b made members of th proposed board. These people are ) on a salary, and, therefore, there would j be no expense attached to the city for maintaining tblt separate department." It Is understood that the labor unions are strongly opposed to the appointment of a fire and police board and resolution are to be adopted, to It Is said, against the proposition. These resolutions, when properly prepared, will be presented to th charter revision committee. In case th commute pays no attention to the resolutions soma of the labor leaders aay that a committee will be tent to the legis lature to present the petition. Bla-ath Annnal Report.

JOIN IN THE GENERAL MOVEMENT Men Will Meet Ofllrlal Monday and They Expect Concession W 1th oat Serious Delay or Dimmlly. Comes now the grievance committee of J the Order of Railway Trainmen of the I'nlon Factnc to add Its voice to the chorus of de mands that has been reverberating through out ths Union ratine's auditory functions i for the Itst six months. Thomas Bogus of i North Platte, secretary; C. A. Slebert, Chey ' enne, and P. J. Hlndmalsh, Lincoln, are the 1 first members of this committee to arrive. They reached Omaha yler3ay tnd took up their quarter at tb Dellon hotel, where the eighteen members of the com mittee will be stationed while in the city. Others will com later and by Monday at least th committee expects to meet of ficials of tb Union Pacific for a discussion of better wages and revised schedules. This mov on the part of tha trainmen Is In behalf of tha brakemen and conductors, tassenger and freight, and Is but a sequence ' of that general movement planued months ago by railroad men throughout the country i for more wages. Not many weeks ago the switchmen, who also are members of tho trainmen's organization, through Mr. Bogus tnd his associates on the grievance com mittee, obtained a 12 per cent Increase In wagea and revised schedules. These con cessions were secured from the Union Pa cific without serious difficulty, and it it be lieved th demands of the brakemen and ; conductors will be granted with equal read I -j nets. Just bow much increase the brake I men and conductors will demand hss not been given out. It Is presumed that It will 1 Cot vary much from that obtained by tha . switchmen and other trainmen In various parts of the country. The percentage of ! increases runs from 10 to 20. Local condi tions govern th scale largely. I The committeemen who arrived yeaterday j morning had little to say of 5 heir plans. They stated that they anticipated no trouble and gave the Impression of being confident of their mission. - II is not sup posed that the Union Pacific will under take the task of resisting the demands of Its trainmen, especially under the circum stances surrounding tt at present. With over 1,300 of Its employes arrayed tgalnst it In a stubborn conflict, it would be sur prising If the company did Invite any further hostilities. Besides, It would be setting a precedent to refuse the demands of the trainmen, since the railroads all over ths country have come to time with little hesitancy, except In a few cases, and given their trainmen about what they asked. The movement was o thoroughly organ ized In the first place, long before It was actually launched, that the roads prac tically were In a position where they could not, without Inviting a aerloua labor war, turn down their trainmen. The trainmen doubtless will submit their case to Superintendent Buckingham, as he represented the company tn the conferences with the switchmen. President Burt, of course, was In consultation before the final adjustment was effected, but the president, having his handa full In New York trying j to parity tha strikers, doubtless will not ba I here to participate in thes confab, unless bit associates can manag to stave them oS long enough.
