One of the moil obstinate cases that
the Omaha detectives have had to on
tend with for year wai brought practically
to an end Friday afternoon, when de
tectives Ferris and Dunn arrested Ella
Hurst of Wymore. Neb., at the home of
DeForest Charln, Harney street.
During the laet year numeroua com
plaints have been received at the police
tatlon stating that a aervant girl had
worked at a certain place, pilfered various
articles of value and then suddenly left.
The rase wis diligently worked on, all the
ruses applicable In such oases being applied
by the detective department. The case
semed almost hopeless. Reports came with
more frequency and more drastic means
were used to run down the guilty person,
for It was evident that one person was
doing the work, although the description
of the thieving servant did not agree In all
Cases.
The ease grew to such proportions that
for the past month or two from two to four
detectives have worked on It almost con
tinuously, with the result that the much
wanted person was apprehended Friday
afternoon.
The young woman's modus operandi was
to work at a plaoe for a short time, steal
such articles as might appeal to her fancy,
then leave the city suddenly and return
In a month or so and repeat the operation.
She has worked at Hastings, Beatrice, Wy.
more, Nebraska City and Council Bluffs,
but whether she maintained the same sys
tem of theft at those places as she did
In Omaha, has not yet been learned.
Her First Place Here.
i The first report of her Omaha depreda
tions was received about a year ago
from the home of Warren Bwltsler, 2604 St.
Mary's avenue. The following are some
of the persons in whose homes she is
known to have worked and stole articles
of various values:
R. P. Hodcln. 428 North Fortieth street:
D. V. Bholes, 1120 Bouth Thirty-first; George
8. Bqulres, 611 South Thirty-seventh; Harry
C. May, 1311 Bouth Twenty-ninth; E. W.
Arthur, 914 South Thirty-third; DeForest
E. Chapln, 2580 Harney; Rabbi Abram
Simon, 1117 Bouth Thirtieth, and Thomas
M. Orr, Twenty-eighth and Farnam streets.
At some places It is said she worked as
short a time as three days and In some
manner she obtained . recommendations,
which Invariably made her entrance to
some of the best resldenoes an easy mat
ter. From the home of H. C. May the woman
Is said to have taken such articles as opera
glasses, silver-handled umbrella, act of
punch glasses, cups and saucers and other
articles. The report from the residence of
E. W. Arthur shows that two fine watches,
two overcoats and a suit of clothes were
taken. A valuable cameo was taken from
he homo of R. F. Hod gin, and a- ouantltv
of out glass and hand-painted china from
the residence of Thomas It. Orr. (
The other reports received from the vari
ous houses where the woman worked shows
a variety of articles stolen, the aggregate
amounting to several hundred dollar
Kea of Floater Fooad.
. As' none of the plunder has been located
In Omaha, It Is thought that the woman
may have a fence somewhere and may have
taken the stuff with her when she left the
city,-' as she did frequently between acta.
She says her brother-in-law, named Ne'.eon,
lived at Twenty-second and liake streets
up to last September, when he moved to
Oklahoma,
' While working at one place the woman Is
said to have ordered a large amount of gro
ceries, and It is thought the use of a horse
and vehicle must have been employed to
take the stuff to Its destination.
When questioned Friday afternoon the
woman was exceedingly noncommittal re
garding her operationa Bhe said she was
raised at Wymore, was 24 years of age
and at present in a delicate condition.
A majority of the persons who have re
ported the loaaea have called at the police
station and Identified the woman as being
the servant who worked for them.
The woman'a apprehension has much re
lieved the detective department.
ALIMONY FOR MRS. COULTER
Forty Dollars Monthly aad Fifteen for

A termination finally has come In the
proceedings of divorce by Dr. F. B. Coulter
gainst Mrs. Coulter. Judge Day has
handed down an order commanding Dr.
Coulter to pay HO a month for the sep
arate maintenance of his wife and SIS for
Ms child. This order was Issued after
counsel for the plaintiff withdrew the peti
tion for a divorce, which had been so per
sistently urged in the trial, which was pro
longed and sensational In some of Its de
tails. When Coulter's attorneys did this
Mrs. Coulter's lawyers asked that shs be
granted a partial decree. The Judge re
fused this, after It had been argued at
Some length, and Issued the order described.

suits I received from the package of Milks' Emulsion you shipped me
on my order, would say that I am well satisfied with it and am con

my stomach more than anything else I have had. I have had catarrh
of the stomach for a good many years and it was all through my system.
When I started taking your Emu.sion I was not able at times to
lay down at night and was almost past working. It has benefitted me
great deal and I shall continue to use it. I have recommended it to
a great many and shall always have a good word for Milks' Emulsion.

Gentlemen For years I suffered with stomach tronble and
constipation, causing dizziness and loss of appetite, togothervith all
the other troubles accompanying all these afflictions. In my case I feel
that constipation was the chief cause of my stomach trouble. It became
eo bad with me that I had no passage of the bowels except when I used
warm water injections. But at last I have found the thing for con
stipation in Milks' Emulsion. Since taking the first box I have expe
- rienced for the first time in many months free operations with so pain
in the bowels. Your Emulsion has given me the only relief that I Lave
had for several years. Send me another box at once and your cash

MORE RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY
TonaaT Men Conttnae to Apply aad
Many Are Too Tender la
Years.
Thirty additional recruits have been en
listed for the United States army at the
Omaha recruiting- depot thus far during
the month of March, and it is expected
that the number will reach fifty by the
close of the month. Many of the enlist
ments are for the Philippine service and
most of the recruits fare sent to San Fran
cisco preparatory to their shipment to Ma
nila, Nearly seventy-five applications have
been made for enlistment, but the usual
trouble of minority on the part of the ap
plicants prevails and many have had to be
rejected from this cause.
The requirement of good character and
perfect physical condition is becoming more
exacting in the selection of recruits,
and unless an applicant can show a clean
bill of health, and character, the latter
attested to by at least two reputable citl
sens, he might save trouble and annoy
ance by not applying for a berth In the
United Stntes army. A number of re
enlistments of former members of the
Thirtieth, Twenty-ftfth and Twenty-second
Infantry have been made during the month.

In speaking of the convention and the

'Owing to the fact that we have been so
busy building up our business during the
past three years, we have not had time to
infom the publlo of the rapid growth of
the dairy business in this state. We now
are going to take a little time oft to show
the people of Omaha and Nebraaka just

is not generally known, but it is neverthe
less a fact, that the creamery business In
this city has reached a point where tlS.030
worth of butter is being turned out dally
and marketed. The business in the entire
state now amounts to millions of dollars
annually. This ever-lncreaalpg business
has been built up principally slnoe the In
troduction of tha hand separator among
the farmers. During the past three years
the Kmplre company has sold about 16,000
separators to the farmers of Nebraska.
This will serve to show how rapidly the
business is coming to the front as a Ne
braaka industry.
Object of tho Meeting.
'The object of the meeting which we are
about to hold Is to show our representa
tives and the farmers and business men
of ths state who are interested Just what

Just in its Infancy, and It Is to the benefit
of every resident of ths state that It be
developed to the fullest extent.
"About 130 of the expected visitors will

'POSSUMS ALREADY IN SIGHT
Plenty of Favorite Came Promised
Dixie Club by Maa from Arkan- "
sas Jangles.
David Balfour of Duncan, Ark., has
written John Dicks Howe congratulating
him upon the formation of a "Dixie club"
In Omaha and offers every assistance in J
bis power to make the next meeting a suc
cess. Mr. Balfour says:
When you have your first banquet you
will no doubt want 'possum on the bill of
fare. If so, you can count on me to supply
all you can use. They are plentiful In this
section and I will agree to send as many
aa you may need, charges prepaid. The
hlga-eet catch I ever witnessed was one
Saturday afternoon last December, when
the dogs "treed" In an old hollow snag.
We cut it down and got twelve coons,
every one of them weighing from thirty
five to forty pounds, and it wasn't a
very (rood day for coona either. When
ever you alls" get ready for a 'pogum
dinner let me know and I'll guarantee
that none will go home hungry.
Governor Warfleld of Maryland has tele
graphed the club that the invitation for
him to attend the last meeting was received
too late for him to reply at that meeting,
but that he has written a letter to be read
at the next meeting.
A Baltimore paper has asked for a photo
graph of the club, and particularly of
sketches of the lives of Maryland members
of the club, for publication.
There is now on the way from the secre
tary of the Cotton exchange at New Or
leans sacks of cotton and gray moss for
the decoration of the new Dixie club rooms,
which it is expected will be secured within
the next thirty days. '
Miss Grace Conklln of fill California
street, a daughter of a confederate veteran,
already Is engaged in the preliminary for
mation of a branch samp of the Society of
the Daughters of the Confederacy in this
city.
Word has been received from Mrs. Knight
of Lincoln that she with a party of southern-born
women of the capital city will at
ttnd the next meeting of the club. A com
mittee of reception has been appointed to
meet the Lincoln delegation upon their ar
rival and escort them to the meeting.
The location of the club rooms has not
yet been definitely decided upon, but will
be In a few days. It Is intended to have the
rooms appropriately decorated with me
mentoes of ths southland and to have many
of the leading southern papers on file at
the rooms. The next meeting will be March
n in Arcanum hall for perfection of the organisation.
