COLO WEATHER BRINGS BIG HARVEST
Demand for Men Makes It Necessary
for the noa.es to Hon Overall.
aat Take to Real
Work Aval a.
A needle In a haystack la not half aa hard
to find as It Is to secure the services of a
plumber in Omaha Juat at present. Tha
gentlemen of the craft are decidedly the
most exalted artisans who have a lien on
the public purse. They were eo Thura
day and will be during the remainder of
the week. Some of them think so well of
themselves that they have declined even
to think of labor except at a price that
makes the master plumbers' aorta threaten
to undergo the same calamity that befell
the water pipes.
Since Tuesday night there have been
more bursted water pipes than there are
happy homes in Omaha and there are not
more than eighty-five Journeymen plumb
ers to go around. The majority have been
good and submitted to work at 60 cents
an hour, the regular prices ', charged the
bosses, who exact 75 cents an hour from
their customers. The good plumbers have
been called blessed and made to work night
and day and each has cheerful visions of
a pay envelope this week that will con.
tain from $35 to 140 and even more.
Some "Bad" Plumber..
But there are seven or eight other
plumbers and seven or eight plumbers are
a good many In this weather who are
bad, and upon them have been bestowed
curses and epithets and cajolery and
pleadings, all of which have not yet ac
complished any good for the water pipes.
So It was that half a dozen master plumb
era took down their tool kits yesterday,
put on overalls and studied snew In prac
tice the art of mending and thawing out
water pipes.
Meanwhile the seven or eight bad bl umb
ers reposed In great bodily comfort at
Labor Temple, and, when their serenity
was Jarred by telephone calls, sent back
the unvarying reply: "Seventy-five cents
an hour or nothing. It's too cold to work
for common wagea." To further overtures
they hung up the receiver with a bang
and returned to social session with the
radiator.
CASE INTERESTS MERCHANTS
Salt of William Richmond Asralnat
Business Men of Hum
boldt, Jfeb
In the case of William Richmond against
Wozat and seventeen other merchants of
Humboldt, Neb., Judge Munger has decided
that the complainant does not have to make
his petition more specific. This case has
considerable interest to the . merchant of
the state, as it is the outgrowth of an at
tempt on the part of merchants of Hum
boldt to bring punishment upon a man who
was charged with selling goods direct to
the consumer from wholesale stock.
The story does not appear in the petition,
which briefly alleges that the plaintiff was
arrested without legal right at tha instance
of the defendants and demands $13,000 dam
ages. The story aa told by the plaintiff Is
that he waa engaged in selling goods to
consumers In and around Humboldt by
sample and delivering them at a later date,
when ha was arreated at the Instance of the
merchants of tha city and later released.
The merchants of the state,' particularly
the grocers, are much Interested in the re
sult of the case, as It ia expected that they
will wage war upon these peripatetio sales
men if this case Is decided In favor of the
merchants of Humboldt.

FlarianaM by a Qaartet.

poems by Oliver Herford, "Overheard In a
Garden."
Mr. Whltlng'B writing auggests that he

the Immortals. The quartet presenting the
work consisted of Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly,
Mrs. Allen P. Ely, Mr. Kelly and Mr.
Charles S. Haverstock. The ensemble was,

paniments with eloquence snd discrimina
tion. Several pretty tableaux were Intro

and much style.
The musical psrt of the program was in
the hands of Mrs. Ely.

RUBBER JOBBERS IN REVOLT
They Want' the t'nlteil Vetes Com
pany to Share Expense of
' Competition.
The wholesale market In rubber goods
promises to show some change In the next
month, but what that change will be Is not
foretold. The board of directors of the
United States Rubber company is in session
now and the reports received from the
country, according to atatements made by
local Jobbers, indicate that the trade gen
erally desires some change In the existing
method of doing business. The United
States company controlled the situation up
to a year ago, but the firms outside of the
big company are now supplying nearly one
quarter of the total output of rubber goods.
This season the old restrictive contract be
tween the United States company and the
wholesale dealers was abolished and Job
bers were permitted to make any price they
might desire, thus throwing the burden ot
the fight against the Independent companies
upon the Jobbers. These merchants are
now In a stste of revolt and demand that
the United States company take some ac
tion to place them In a position to fight the
Independent companlea without sacrificing
profits, indicating a desire to have the bur
den of the fight at least divided between
tha manufacture and the Jobbers. It was
suggested by one Jobber present at one of
the sessions of the board that those whole
sale dealers who object to existing condi
tions refuse to place orders until tba board
of directors solves the problem of dividing
the expense of the opposition to the Inde
pendent companlea.

TO ARREST MEISNER AGAIN
annawananaann.
Chief of Police Order, that Dreamer Be
Taken Back to Jail.
NEW COMPLAINT COMES FROM SCHUYLER
I'hotoarrapher Saya Vosag Man Ob
tained Money from Illm by Itepre
aentlns tbat lie Waa Heir
to Larare E.tate.
Upon Information received by the police
department from varloua cities, Chief Don
ahue haa ordered the rearrest of Hugh F.
Melsner, the dreamer who was recently
taken Into custody on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, but who waa
released Wednesday on account of lack ot
prosecution on that charge.
The chief decided to act when a letter
waa received from J. F. Holonbeclt, a pho
tographer of Schuyler, Neb., enclosing
checks which Holonbeck has Issued to
Melaner during the months ot February
and March, 1902. The total amount given
to Meisner by the Schuyler resident was
$25, the largest check being for $200, the
smallest for $10. These, the photographer
states In his letter, were advanced to tba
young man upon hla representation that ha
was soon to become the possessor ot a largo
estate.
' Holonbeek states that Meisner was known
to him aud that the bank authorities in
Schuyler as "Harry McDonough." The
two men were to engage In an advertising
scheme. Tart of the money advanced was
sent by draft to "McDonough" in Toledo,
O. Holonbeek will come to Omaha to prose
cute Meisner. '
Inquiries have also been received by the
chief from the Furlong and Thtel detec
tive agencies of St. Louis, Mo., asking for
Meisner's description, as It Is believed that
he haa operated hla achema in other cities.
Chief Donohue la Inclined to believe that
be la a clever man In hia way and will
send the photos and Bertlllon measure
ments taken hero thla week to tha differ
ent police departments In the hope of
ascertaining more ot the young man's
record, aa his "estate stories" bava been
unearthed as far back as 1902.
