OVERLAND LIMITED STOPPED
t'nloa Faetno California Fast Trala
Held at Boath Omaha for
, Belated Passenaers.
Two passengers who got left on the
Overland Limited yesterday succeeded
In holding the train at South Omaha until
they overtook It, something some of the
most Influential people of the country have
not been able to do.
Three little children are Indirectly -responsible
for the unusual achievement.
Among the passengers on the train were
K A. Bloom and family, who are on the
way from Chicago to Ban Franslco.
Just before the train pulled Into the union
station Mr. anew Mrs. Bloom went Into
the diner for a lunch. They were Informed
that the diner would be left otT here but
that they . would have twenty minutes
before the change was made. They left
the children In the sleeper, where they had
three sections, but when they started to
return to the train they found that It had
I .pulled out. The train was late and did
not wait in Omaha the usual time. Every
thing the passengers had, including their
railroad tickets was In the coach with the
children and the sight of the departing
train did not All them with pleasure. They
reported their predicament to Edwin Itancy,
the station master and explained to him
that the children were among the missing
chattels.
Mr. Haney did not lose any time. The
telephone between the depot and the Union
Paclflo headquarters was kept busy for a
few minutes and hurried orders were sent
out over the. telegraph wires.

Lynch wanted to board the car and did

behind Lynch and a number of cltlsens
followed the policeman. The odds were
against Lynch, who was overtaken by the
policeman.
When the policeman caught up with
Lynch the Iowa cltlsen was so out of

The first snow worthy of the name this
season In Omaha fell Thursday night and
Friday morning, attaining an average depth
of about four Inches. The snow began
falling about 8 o'clock In the evening and
continued throughout the night. No wind
accompanied the anow and the temperature
was but S degrees below the freezing point.
When Omaha 'awoke yesterday the en
tire city was covered with a mantle of
snow. All outdoor work; except shoveling
snow oft -the sidewalks, was suspended.
The city authorities went at the snow with
commendable seal. The snow plow was
early put In operation on Sixteenth street
and a large force of men was put to work
cleaning the snow off the street crossings.
Teams were brought Into requisition to haul
the snow away and dump it into the Big
Muddy. At the federal building the entire
laboring force was put to work cleaning the
snow from the sidewalks. As the snow
was light and fluffy street car transltwas
not materially interfered with.
According to Colonel Welsh of the
weather bureau, the snowfall was gen
erally local. He said:
Volant of Precipitation.
"The precipitation was but 3.8 Inches.
The temperature yesterday morning at 7
was 28, a rise of 8 degrees since Thurs
day morning. Apparently ths heaviest of
the snowfall Is through this section of the
Missouri valley, and between here and
Sioux, City. There was no snow In Kansas
or Missouri, except slight trace at Con
cordia, Kan. The snow was, however,
general over Nebraska, In the west, over
Iowa and northward up the Missouri val
ley. It Is still snowing In tha north. At
North Platte there Is a . precipitation of
snow and rain mixed, with a temperature
there of 32. At Valentine the temperature
reached 14 this morning. The snow, at ths
best, was but light and feathery.
J. F. Mechlin of Alliance, in speaking
of the snow in that section, said:
"It was snowing slightly at Alliance
when I left last night, but It had no Indi
cation of amounting to much. It was so
light that it cannot hurt the ranges at all.
In fact, we are badly In need of snow, as
the ranges are getting pretty dry. With
the gradually cooling weather of the last
several days the cattle and sheep are In
good condition to stand a pretty severe
storm. We do not apprehend any trouble
from thla storm at all. It Is the drifting
storme that hurt the stock ranges ths
most." 1
Parties In from the northeastern part of
the state concur In the wish for a tig snow
fall up there for the benefit of the wheat.
One man from the vicinity of Valentine
aald:
"We have been having some fairly cold
weather up there, but the stock Is not suf
fering much. The farmers want snow
badly for the wheat. We have had a little
snow, but not to amount to any good. We
want all we can get If It will only come
down atralght."

Advice and Now Oecnples
Capitol Avenue Resort.
Her name is" Marion 3urgess. She was
arraigned in police court on the charge
of being a disorderly woman and fined $5
and costs. She pleaded guilty to tho
charge. That Is all the police records show
about the case and It is all that Is neces
sary for the police to know to dischargo
their duties as public servants.
But behind thpse few facts lies a story
that la ever new, yet ever old. Mlse
Marlon Burgess.' says she Is 19 years of
age and her address Is 903 Capitol avenue.
She says her parents know her age, but do
not know her address. She would not
have them learn her addresa for the world,
she eays.
She appeared In police court In a thin,
gaudy gown, the habiliment of the woman
of the world. She yet has the girlish face,
although . the lines of abandonment are
beginning to show themselves.
The story of Marion Burgess is not long,
neither Is It new, yet it appeals to human
sympathy.
Miss Burgess is a graduate of the high
school at Huron, S. D. Bhe Is pretty of
countenance and of a confiding nature.
She left Huron, near which place her
parents have a farm, to accompany a man
to Omaha. She listened to what she
thought was "the swetcst story ever told."
Her parents advised and warned her. But
she knew best. The man deserted her
and she was too proud to return home.
She says she has closed the past as a
sealed book and will not think of It. Bhe
lives In the present and thinks 'not of
the future, she eays.
And yet she Is only It years of age. Bhe
looks no more.
WINDOWS AND MOON CRACKED
Former Snffer from Raid and Captain
Dnna Holds the Heavenly
0 Body Responsible,
An epidemic of window breaking broke
out In Omaha Thursday evening, when five
persons were arrested and taken to the
City jail on charges of cracking window
glasses.
Chief of Detectives Dunn is of the opinion
that the recent crack on the face of the
moon le responsible for this local outbreak.
Captain Mostyn of the police station says
the moon hae nothing to do with the matter
and that the matter la merely a coincidence.
However, the odds are In favor of the chief
of detectives, as It Is generally known that
the moon exerts considerable Influence on
mundane affairs.
Walter McGulre, Willie Coy and Everett
Andrews were arrested at the Krug theater
by Officer Bamuelson. It Is said the boys
were trying to break into the playhouse
through a window. They were discharged
with a reprimand from the police Judge.
Mrs. Mary Gibbons Was arrested for try
ing to destroy the transparent part of the
Levy bio' k at Thirteenth and Leavenworth

OMAHA'S FAME WORLD WIDE
Information of City's Resources Is'
Sought by Maa of Kcw
South Wales.
Commissioner McVann of the Commer
cial club has received a letter from Fred
C. Jackson of Sydney, New South Wales,
asking for a plan of Omaha and any books
and pamphlets that would give an Idea
of the resources and industries of this city.
Mr. Jackson made no statement as to the
reasons why he desired the Information
mentioned.
Documentary evidence of the growth of
the city, its bright prospects and the
solidity of Its industrial and commercial
standing will be forwarded at once, to
gether with a plan of the city and Its
street railway lines.
At a recent meeting of the Real Estate
exchange the matter of "booming Omaha"
was discussed. Probably now that a de

the exchange may carry out its plans.

tweea Irate Wonts Who Make
Things Warm.
It was only the calm Judgment of Police
Judge Berka that prevented a riot call
being sent from police Court to the city
Jail.
Mrs. Mary Roen of 916V4 North Sixteenth
street was being tried on the charge of dis
turbing the peace, which charge had been
preferred against her by a neighbor, Mrs.
Mollis Brown.
Now it came to pass that Mrs. Rosen did
not love Mrs. Brown, nor did Mrs. Brown
love her neighbor as herself. Mrs. Brown
beat Mrs. Roeen to police court and filed a
complaint agalnnl the woman. The case
was being argued in police court, when the
atmosphere became so oppressive that City
Prosecutor Lee had to open the window
to relieve the situation.
"She called me a cat."
"No, I dldn'.t. Judge."
"She threw a tin can into my yard."
"She lies, Judge."
"She said I had false teeth."

"I didn't aay any such thing. She came

The police magistrate averted a hair-pull-Ing
match In the third Inning by telling tha
disputants he would give them, each thirty
days If they did not go home and live In
peace and happiness, wllh tTie spirit of
"peace on earth and good will toward
