GENIUS OF A FAKER AND ITS SEQUEL la Dvdla f Eateravrlse that ft'M Good lor Maay Balls aid Mark Spar la Giuttri Yellow Jonraale. Ha It a waiter by profusion. He Is too youna; to have fouRht In the cItII war. He aa la Omaha during the 8paDlsh-Amerlcao war. He never errved on a governor's ataff. Bo far aa known ha never Ivlonnfd to a Salvation Army corpa. Then how did William Bhowera acquire the title of "colonel?" The queetlon has been asked ao often and the eolonoi baa turned It aside ao per etstentlr that It really becomea a publlo duty to expose the aecret and ahow the eolonel la hla true light. With Graver Cleveland no longer president and the Cubana benevolently asalmllatexl, the ax posure oaa be made without the dlaaetroua renulta that would have attended U a few years ago. The colonel has aot alwaya been thua. There waa a time whan "threa scrambled and a stack wheats" waa not bis morn ing oarel and "coffee. atrT" not tba opening wedae for cress-counter conversation. Ha baa aald these things so often to ao many different people In Omaha that tha latter have come to believe ha haa been doing ao alwaya. But they ara wrong. There was time when Bhowera perturbed the alumbera of-, even the president of the United States and had the weatera mili tary oa the qui vlve. How he did It will furnish a chapter of unwritten but Inter esting history. la Hla Kami C3tty Days. It will be recalled that during Orover Cleveland's aeoond term aa president all eyea focused on "bleeding Cuba" and the American people grew ao sympathetic that there waa almply no keeping count of the number of burning resolutions they adopts! About that time William Showers became proprietor of the "Four Comers." a Kan saa City joy works where . thirsty men came to alt for hours looking for a friend, a job or any other old excuse for staying. Showers la a princely jollier now and he was a princely jollier then. Tba quality of buncomb be pasaed out to the Renbs from Kansas waa considerably better than the quality of nectar he pasaed them, and the way he rallied the local aparta under hla banner waa worth riding a long distance .on the Iowa Central to see. Finally hla place became headquarters far about twe thlrde of the alfalfa jugglera ef two etatee and for a aet of local hot-air weavers that were had to beat. The hot-air weavera furnished conversation In exchange for the nectar tha alfalfa jugglera bought. In the local contingent waa Perry Kills, a newspaper correspondeat, who, when he wasn't busy with hla thirst, waa alwaya busy with hla Imagination. Eastern yellow journals wanted thlnga to print and Perry waa supplying the want. Kansas City being a drouthy place Itself in war times, he had to enlarge tha acope of Its Influence. It waa when be undertook this that he alerted trouble. Crop the Correspondent Sewed. He began aendlng out reports that Cuban filibustering expeditions were being equipped In or near Kansas City. He In ' tlmated that the leadera of the junta ren dezvoused at the "Four Corners." From the yellow journala tbla report waa cribbed Into the patent insldea of the country weeklies and from them Into the unpatented Insides of the Sunflower farm hands. .They i beaded for Kansas City and for the Four Cornera. Their exterior finish would Indi cate that they were aa peaceable as re formed ptratea, but under their coata beat courageous hearts and they burned to undertake the perilous work of the filibuster . in a good cause. They were willing to die for Cuba Libre, 81c Semper Tyrannta, E Pluribua Unum or anything elae that had blood In it and a chance to figure la future Fourth of July oratlona. At first. Showers didn't know what to do about it. It aeemed to him the gamo waa being played a little strong. But the, news paper men pointed out the flood of ducats that waa going over the counter and aald any barkeep who would kick on money coming that easy would be all kinds of a foolish person. So Showers got In line and worked the high algna with the rest. That Kaw Tewa bunch got their yokel recruits to believing that tha Four Cornera was the center of tba greatest secret move ment for liberty since "Bozzarle ranged bis Sullote band" In the forest and pre pared to do thlnga to the dreaming Turk. Collapse ( tae Colonel. But finally the rocrulta grew reetlve and aome ahow of organisation had to be made. And that la when William Bhowera be came "colonel." That la alao the time ' when William Bhowera spoiled a good thing and brought on a aevere at tack of atage fright. The. newspaper man bad printed ao much and faked ao dexter euely that even the prealdent of the United St a tea took notice and lasued tha memorable antl-Bllbusterlng manifesto. Hla action started trouble right on down the Has sod hen It reached the United Statea marahal for that district the United Statea marshal got busy. His son happened to be some thing of a rounder and In on the dealings at the Four Cornera. That Is all that asved Colonel Bhowera and hla filibuster, for ths son heard the father planning a round-up of the Sbowcra patriots and gave tha tip. It was at night, and tha word reached the saloon just twenty minutes ahead of the marshal and bis deputies. In those twenty minutes there was an exodus thst best anything since the incident of the Red Bea And Colonel Showers wss "at the head of hla men." They couldn't have passed him In an automobile. Down a dark alley they treked, run along a side street anl finally clear out Into the farm country. A kind providence and an unsuspecting farmer had placed a large cornfield at tho side of the route of retreat and Colonel Showera went over Us surrounding barbed wire fence without touching. His filibusters followed as well aa they" could and the whole force finally rounded up In the center of the field. What the Reeralts Did. What happened after that Isn't pleasant to relate. The ground was wet and cold. The air waa wet and cold. The colonel waa wet and cold before long, and the filibusters would have been wet and cold If they hadn't been ao hot at the colonel. They began to think thlnga and to talk plainly and unkindly about tba courage of their proposed lesder. They told bim he waa a poor provider and a durned ras cal. As each one caught cold and began to sneeze he Invited the colonel to atand up and be knocked down. But none bad tha courage to go back to town, and all that night, the next day and a part of the next night they shivered and shook and awore and reproached there In the soggy furrows. A atraggler came during the day and told them that the marshal, after aearchlng moat of the night, bad given up the hunt. The newspaper man bad given the filibusters and the marshal both the alip and waa at a hotel writing things to make the former famous. But the former had ceaeed to crave fame. They wanted "chuck," and they made up tbelr minds to go back to Kansas, where they could get It In aafety and without any cornfield rbeumatlam. 80 Showers' filibusters deserted him and the eolonel himself had to sneak. When he found a railroad track leading to Kansas City he started toward Its other end and eventually landed In Omaha. He closed out his business by mall, he wrote the newspaper man a letter seventeen pagea long telling htm what he thought of him, and he resigned his commission In the filibusters' brigade. He even added that Cuba Libre could go to the demnltlon bow wowa, and be doggoned for all he cared. And that thereafter he wished to be known just aa plain William Showera. without any titles that would give the United Statea marshals a handhold on hia liberty. He kept hla word, but somehow the title baa atuck to him just the same, and to thia day several hundred restaurant patrona In Omaha who have come te kaow him, al waya aalute him aa "Colonel." Some of them don't even know he haa any ether name, and none of them haa known until now how he got this one.
