Mills a, Former Convict. "The man whom I supposed to be Harold C. Mills and my lawful husband la John Lepger, an ex-convlct of Ohio," said Miss Uoale to an Inter Ocean reporter. "He has been married to three women besides myself. I only know the name of one of these wives. He was married to her In St Louis In July, 1809. and deserted her In September of the same year,, after secur ing about $3,300 of. her money. She learned of his convict record and secured a dl vorce.

There he started a concern known as the Fidelity Home Assurance and Realty company. While there he married a young woman, but I am not at liberty to divulge her name or any of her family connections. His presence there under the name of Homer C. Reed became known through a check that had been endorsed over to him by Mrs. S. A.

X have heard that he has a bad record In a number of small towns In Ohio, where he Is said to have operated under various aliases. In one of these towns, It Is my information, that he mar ried a young woman of good family and deserted her after a few months." Iarge groups of enraged stockholders of the defunct Guarantee Home Purchasing company besieged the prison where the man Is confined. Among these were Mrs, S. A. Edwards and Attorney Beth G. Olbbs. The former, as agent of the company. helped to place It on Its feet. She also Invested In It a considerable amount of her own money.

McKnlnht. buver for J. T Dnn. dels & Sons, left for a trip to New York Ust night. Judge W. A. Foster will speak on "Slims of the Tlmx" at the meetlnar ttt the lhli sophtcal society at the Paxton hotel this It will soon devolve upon the mayor to appoint a board of review for the purposo of equalising the municipal taxes assessed by the city tax commissioner. More than likely the appointments will be made at Monday night's meeting of the city coun cil. Under the charter the mayor names one freeholder and the city treasurer an other and these two appointees, with the tax commissioner, constitute the board of review. This board Is required to sit from Junn 15 to June 5 and for Its services the mem bers receive $6 a day. A general review of the work of the commissioners' deputies Is made. This covers both real and per sonal property. Where the board deems It advisable to increase the assessment turned In by the tax commissioner it devolves upon the members to notify the owner of the property and ret a date for the hearing of the case. Last year the board had quite a busy time of it as the valuation had been in creased by the tax commissioner from $2,500,000 to over 118,000,000. As many: of the aisputea cases were aajusiea last year it is hardly thought that there will be eo many complaints this year. While no totals are at hand. Tax Commissioner Fltxgerald Is of the opinion that the total valuation, when all the books are turned In, will show pretty close to, If not a little over, $20,000,000. During the year a great many Improve ments have been made and these of course will swell the total valuation. Then again, some of the corporations will find their valuation Increased slightly and a corre sponding decrease on property in portions of the city where there are no public Im provements to speak of. It seems . to be the desire of the tax commissioner to get the valuation of property in South Omaha somewhere near what It ought to be. For years the valuation waa hammered down and kept between $1,600,000 and 12.000,- 000. With a valuation of $20,000,000 It is figured that the assessment will be about one-third of the actual value. Mayor Koutsky has already selected Ms man for a member of the board of review and the same may be said of Treasurer Howe. So that all that remains now Is for the names to be read to the city coun ell and confirmed by that body. Apart ments outside of the city hall will be se cured for the sitting of the board, probably the rooms used last year, in the old Sloane building, will be rented again. Very Brief Ceremony. All of the plans of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republlo regarding Memorial day celebration had to be aban doned on account of the Inclement weather. Only half a dosen veterans met at the hall at the appointed hour. This handful of old soldiers, clad in rain coats, pro ceeded to Laurel Hill cemetery and dec orated the graves of the soldiers and sailors who were burled there. There was no parade of any sort. The city offices remained closed all day; so did the banks. There was only one delivery of mail and that was early in the morning. Aside from the closing of the places of business men tioned the day was passed ths same as any other. Trades Conn ell Flonle. Sunday, June 14, the Packers' Trades council of South Omaha will hold Its first annual picnic at Pries' lake. The lake will be reached via the Sherman avenue and Florence street car ltnea Sports of all kinds have been arranged and prises will be given to ths winners.

Officers for the year were recently elected, and these, along with the appointive officers, will be Installed on the date mentioned. As this will be the first publlo Installation the Masons ever held In South Omaha, it prom ises to be quite an affair and the capacity of the hall will no doubt be taxed to tts utmost. Reviving Commercial Clab. An effort Is to be made to hold a meet ing of the directors of the Commercial club Monday night at the parlors of the South Omaha club. At this meeting steps will doubtless be taken to call a general meeting for the purpose of reorganising and Infusing a little Ufa Into the club. It Is now about two years since the club held a meeting that amounted to any thing, and now It is nothing but a club In name only, as no Interest in its affairs Is taken by the members.

Next two ghted candles were put upon the shelf nd as they swung they were quickly nuffed out by the fir.t two shots fired at them. Eight glass balls were then hung upon nails upon the target and It was set swinging rapidly. Mr. Frantmsthes held ' he gun right-handed snd smashed the 1 eight balls in quick succession, never mls- ng a shot. Eight more were put on and I he smashed these, shooting left-handed. Then he smashed eight, shontlng with the gun held upside down, then he stood with his bark to the swinging target, aimed the gun between his legs, and broke eight, not missing one. Next he stood with his back to the target, and, with the gun over his shoulder, aimed by aid of the reflection of the swinging target In a mirror and broke eight balls. The next shot will be s very difficult one," said Mr. Ffanimathes. "The world s champion shooter, Winona, breaks twenty balls In sixteen seconds upon a stationery target I will break ten balls upon a swlng- ng target In twelve seconds and then I will break sixteen balls upon a stationery target In eight seconds." He did exactly as he said lie would, mlss- ng only one hot out of the whole lot. He hung from a string a clockwork ar rangement that revolved horizontally a long stick; at each end of the stick was a string with a glass ball attached. As these balls revolved rapidly he smashed them both with two shots that came so close together It seemed almost like a single report. C. II. Sutherland, his assistant, stood thirty feet away 'with a cheroot In his mouth and with the first shot Mr. Frans inathes knocked off the ashes. The last shot was the moat difficult of all. Mr. Sutherland stood thirty feet distant with a thin business card at arm's length held by a corner between his thumb and forefinger. The thin edge of the card was toward the shooter, who could barely see it so far away. The bullet was scarcely more than one-eighth of an Inch In di ameter, yet the first shot struck the card fair upon Its edge and cut It In two as clean as a sharp knife would do It. He repeated this shot a halt dosen times, never falling to hit the edge of the card, but not always cutting It In two. When I was 18 years old," said Mr. Franxmathes, "I practiced shooting every day for two years, and became very ex pert I did not shoot then for fifteen years, until a month ago, when I again took It up and practiced a long time every day here in my dancing academy. The month's practice has made me as expert as you have Just seen." What faculties are needed to make a good shot?" he was asked. 'The faculty of having the eye and hand work together In perfect harmony. Shoot ing is perfectly automatic with me. I aim the gun and the moment my eye catches the target over the rifle sight the finger automatically pulls the trigger. It Is this quickness of finger at the right moment that makes the expert shot If my finger hesitated one moment at the exact time I would miss the shot" Kansas City Star.

THE HEEDLESS CONDUCTOR He Failed to Include Mlod Reading; Among His Many Accom plishments. , There were two young and pretty girls, and they paused long enough, in what waa evidently an engrossing conversation, to hall a car. It was on Broadway, New Tork, and the girls continued their talk while they boarded the car, and paid the conduc tor their fares. In fact there was no letup, from the time they entered the car at Fourteenth street until they were passing through Madison square. Then one of the girls happened to look up. She stared out of the window in bewilderment for half a minute and then said tragically: "Oh, Sadie, this is an uptown car." Her com panion, after a rapid glance, called the conductor. "Is this car going uptown7" she asked. Tes'm," answered the man in blue. 'But we want to go downtown. We didn't want an uptown car. Why didn't you tell us thla wasn't a downtown carT" she asked before the conductor had time to draw a breath. "I ain't no mind reader," said the con ductor, a trifle grumpily. "How should I know you wanted a downtown car when you didn't say so?" The girls looked daggers as they walked through to the platform and as they got off one of them was saying: "The Idea. Saucy thing. He ought to be reported. .letting us ge on an uptown car and taking our fares and all, when we wanted to go downtown." And the rest of the passen gers smiled and said nothing.

FROM 0JIA11A TO IflE GILF Flan (or Great North and South Line it Not Abandoned. NEW YORK CAPITALISTS ARE INTERESTED They Talk Also ef Railroad from Omaha ta Canadian Border and One from Chlraao to Denver. Private advices from New York Indicate that the plan for the construction of a railroad from Omaha to the Gulf of Mexico is not dead by any means and the final decision as to the construction of a line which will be practically Identical with the proposed Omaha-Emporle railroad, which was discussed here ome time ugo, remains to be made by a New York syndi cate which has before it the specifications and estimates of cost. This fact was developed through the effort of the National Irrigated Homestead company of Omaha, which was locking for a New York connection. Thla company was organised In Omaha recently, with W, A. Paxton aa president and Lysle L Abbott as secretary. Its principal object Is the development and sale of land In the semi-arid region of the state, but other matters may be handled. A letter was written to one of the prominent promoters of New York regarding some phase of the work of the Omaha company and that pro moter In reply stated that the people be represents have been considering the matter of Investing money In the construction of the north and south line from Omaha to the gulf and an extension of that line from Omaha to the Canadian border, where It will connect with the Canadian Pacllio. The Investors are also, according to the promoter. Interested tentatively In a road which has for Its termini Chicago and Denver, passing through Omaha. To Tap Canadian Territory. From the same source Is it learned that the Canadian Pacific is considering an in vasion of the United States with the ultimate object of securing an outlet for the Canadian northwest to the Gulf of Mexico. It Is said that this plan depends to some extent upun the completion of the canal through the Isthmus ot Panama, as when this canal Is In operation crops can be moved cheaper from Winnipeg to the gulf and through the canal than they oan be moved directly to the Paciflo coast by the all rail foute. It was not stated whether the proposed line from Omaha to the gulf was to be directly connected with the Canadian line, but the Impression Is given out that It Is to be independent and to seek to form trsfflo arrangements with the lines to the north and with a packet line on the gulf, giving through service from the Dominion to the Atlantic ports and Europe at the present time and to Pacific ports and ths Orient as soon as the canal is In operation. It Is expected that representatives of the Investors will pass over the proposed route In a short time. but the Idea of Intercstl.vr local capital In the construction of the road has been abandoned. Taylor Leaves the B. BI. The resignation of James G. Taylor as auditor and assistant treasurer ot tho B. & M. has caused teveral changes at the general headquarters of that road in Omaha. Mr. Taylor's resignation takes effect June 1. as do the other changes. He goes to New York to engage In the bond business for himself. W. P. Durkee, now assistant auditor be comes auditor, and E, J.

Branch, who has been assistant to the paymaster, becomes assist ant auditor, succeeding Mr. Allee. All of these gentlemen have been long In the serv ice of the B. & M., and are In direct line of promotion. Mr. Taylor has been with the Burlington for a third of a century, filling many posi tions and making a strong record. For about fourteen years he has held the im portant position of auditor and assistant treasurer, which is now to be divided be tween two men. Mr. Taylor has hosts of friends who will regret to see htm leave his old station and the city of Omaha. which has been his horns for so many years. Haynes Goes to Chicago. George B.
