Woman Appeals fop Protection and
Man la Landed In the South
Omaha Jail by an Officer
of (hat flty.
Edward Btevens of Florence wont to the
home of Mrs. Mary Davis at 2427 South
Twenty-first afreet yesterday evening, and
after a few minutes' conversation with her
drew a revolver and told her to go with
him or he would shoot her and then kill
himself. The alarmed woman, fearing for
her life, obeyed him. He took her out
through the rear yard, passed near Krug s
brewery, then to the boulevard. Ho re
peatedly threatened to shoot her If she
spoke to any person. At Twenty-seventh
and. V streets, South Omaha, they sud
denly fame upon Officer Small. Mrs. Iiavls
sprang towards the offlcef and asked for
his protection. Stevens was arrested and
Mrs. Davis went to her home, after accom
panying the officer to the pollro station and
giving an account of her adventure.
According to Mrs. Davis' story, Stevens
boarded at her house before she was mar
ried to her present husband, John Davis.
Btcvens then wanted to marry her, but
he refused him. Notwithstanding her re
peated refusals, Stevens persisted In show
ing her attentions. When she was married
to Mr. Davis, who works for William An
derson at Twelfth and Farnam streets,
Stevens for a time ceased to annoy her
and she thought he had abandoned all
notions of her, but she was mistaken, for
Stevens, she says, again appeared at Inter
vals at her house and tried to be friendly,
although he said nothing about niurriuge
or his disappointment.
Compelled to Follow Man.
"In the" hope that he would quit coming
to the house I treated him distantly," said
Mrs. Davis, "and did not think It was
necessary to tell my husband anything
about It. I told Mr. Stevens that it would
be better for him to stay away, as his
coming would attract attention and cause
gossip, but he would reply that having
boarded wltn me so long he could nut help
feeling friendly and he liked to call and
pay me a visit occasionally, Rather than
have any trouble, I said nothing. He had
not been to my house for several weeks
and I thought he had concluded to stay
away. When he came Into the house this
evening there was nothing In his conduct
that especially attracted my attention. We
talked a few minutes and I then told him
I would have to go about my work and ho
would have to excuse me.
"He then rose from his chair and drew
a revolver. Pointing It at me he said that
he wanted me to do exactly as he told mo
or he would shoot me and kill himself.
I was so badly frightened that I could
not say a word. He then said for me to go
with him and commanded me to put on
my hat. I did so and he told me to leave
the house by the back way and not to
speak to anyone wo might meet or he
would shoot me. He walked by my side
and kept his right hand on the revolver
In his coat pocket. I .asked him whero wo
were going and he said he would explain
after we had gone farther. We met a
number of people, but as he had every few
minutes 'repeated his threat to shoot me if
I spoke to anyone I was afraid to give
an alarm. We went past Krug's brewery
and It aeemed to me that he was making
up his mind where to go. He suddenly
told me to turn toward the boulevard and
again repeated his threat. I was so badly
frightened that I became weak, but I
real I red my only hope was to get to a
place where I could have a chance to get
away from him without danger.
Meets a Policeman.
"When we got to Twenty-seventh and
L streets, South Omaha, a policeman came
around the corner and before Stevens could
do anything I sprang to the officer s side
and demanded protection. Stevens was so
surprised thut before he could do anything
the officer had hold of him. Seeing that I
was safe 1 told the officer what Stevens
had done and the officer took the revolver
from him and we were taken to the police
station.
"Stevens did very little talking after we
Started except to repeat his threat to Bhoot
me If I spoke to anyone, so I do not know
what he Intended doing or where he in
tended to take me. After he was safely
lorkod un I was permitted to come home.
I was scared speechless and for a time
really thought he would shoot me and that
he was taking mo away from home for
that purpose. He hud not been drinking
and did not appear to be crazy."
Mis. Davis la 40 years old. Stevens Is 44.
He works at the Missouri Pacific round
house In Omaha. Stevens refused to give
any explanation of his conduct.
Ben Stanley has his chorus all together
for the coming of the Pittsburg orchestra
and all of the numbers have been thor
oughly rehearsed.
The Pittsburg orchestra Is the first real
symphonic orchestra Omaha has had the
privilege nt hearing for several years
and, while it may not be as well known
to Omaha musicians as for Instance the
Thomas orchestra or the Boston Sym
phony, the personnel of Mr. Paur's or
rhrstra will compare most favorably with
that of any In the country. It Is not made
up for tills Special tour, but Is the same
orchestra th'it plays at Carnegie hall lti
Pittsburg all during the winter The ex
istence of this orchestra was made pos
sible In the first place by Andrew Car
negie, who built the hall which was given
his mime In Pittsburg principally for Its
use. Thirty of the wealthiest men In Pitts
burg are back of the organization and
should any particular Instrument be
wanted and one should not be found of
sufficient capacity In the fnited States, the
orchestras of Europe will bo drawn from
to Mil the gnp.
Resides being one of the four great
conductors of the country, having had a
wonderful experience In Lelpslg, Munich,
Vienna and Berlin, Emll Paur Is one of
the greatest pianists of the present day.
Oadskl was for many years the principal
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany nnd by misunderstanding of con
tracts between hr and Manager Conrled
took on the concert tour In which she Is
now engaged. She Is the strongest vocalist
the rittsburg orchestra could possibly en
gage. Oadskl will sing Senta's ballad from
"The Flying Dutchman" nnd the "Inflam
matus" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater,"
this with the festival chorus and also a
group of modern songs.
The festival chorus, under Ren Stanley,
Is well equipped for the work In hand,
knowing full well that they must In this
engagement with the Pittsburg orchestra
rise to a muslral standpoint commensurate
with the work of the orchestra Itself. To
this end they have worked most faith
fully, and It Is believed that the results
will prove the fact. This chorus, number
ing" 225, Is most enthusiastic In trying to
bring about each year a festival with an
orchestra and concert soloists. A festival
which to Omaha will be lasting, nnd It Is
most particularly desired that at this time
not only the Pittsburg chorus nnd Madame
Oadskl should be supported, but that the
people of the city should rnlly to the sup
port of a chorus whose aim Is to give to
Omaha better and bigger things.
HESSIAN FLYSCARE DENIED
Humboldt Farmer Thinks It Is Con
trived Purely for Jobbing;
Purposes.
O. R. Wilson, n farmer living near Hum
boldt, who is In the city, says regarding
the existence of the Hessian fly In that vi
cinity: 'I have heard that the fly is doing some
damage to the wheat In Johnson county
and about Humboldt, but I am Inclined to
think it Is the usual spring complaint re
garding wheat. At first we had it that
the February cold snap had winter killed
the wheat, and then came the growl about
the wet spring and that the wheat was
drowned out. My own observation Is there
Is very little evidence. If any at all, of the
Existence of the Hessian fly in the south
eastern part of Nebraska. I have been
through most of Gage and Jefferson coun
ties and I And the wheat In the very best
of condition, as well as In Pawnee, John
son and Richardson counties. I do not
know that I ever saw wheat looking bet
ter at this season of the year In southeast
ern Nebraska. The Hessian fly may be
present In some places, but the wheat does
not show It, according to my observation.
I have heard since being In Omaha that
the wheat about Humboldt was In a bad
condition, but I have not the remotest
Idea how such a report originated. There
Isn't a particle of truth In It, and I am
rather inclined to think that the Hessian
fly scare Is gotten up Just for stock Job
bing purposes. Don't get scared about the
Wheat. It was never In better shape than
Just now. The fields look extremely beauti
ful, the wheat being Just high enough to
wave In the wind, and It Isa sight good
for sore eyes to take a trip clown through
southeast Nebraska and see It."
EARL1SC CONFIRMS REPORT
President of Milwaukee Bays that Road
Will Build to Coast.
LINE TO FUN OUT FROM CHAMBERLAIN
tor? Has Hern Repeatedly Published
and F.arllna'e Connrmatlon Is
Taken ,ln Matter of
Fact Way.
At last the oft-repeated story of the
Milwaukee building a Pacific coast line of
Its own from either Chamberlain or Kvarts
has been confirmed by President Karllng.
At least this Is the Information which
conies to The Pee from Mitchell, S. D.,
where It was given out by a member of
President Enrlings party that was making
a tour of that section. The report is:
Thursday evening Mr. Karllng authorized
the statement that the Milwaukee road
would build from Chamberlain to the coast
and likewise extend the Kvarts line across
the reservation or connect with the Cham
berlain line at some point in Wyoming not
as yet determined on. The ChamlHiialn
line Is to be completed first nnd will be
used for the coast line business of the
company. The same information that was
given here was sent to Chicago for an
nouncement. There are two phases of this story, which
has liecomo a familiar one In railroad
circles of tne west. One Is that the Mll
waukeo would extend Its coast line from
Evarts and 'tin a local line from Cham
berlain out Into the big cattle country.
Assistant General Western Agent Duval of
the road In Omaha says It was his under
standing some time ago that the original
survey made from Evarts, r.ipposcdly for
the coast line, would stand and that the
cattle line would be run out from Cham
berlain, but that he since has had Informa
tion such as Is contained In the above
message to The Pee. He hns had no au
thentic information recently, he says. The
report of President Eurllng's confirmation
Is generally accredited In Omaha, for local
railroad men have long pinned faith in
the proposition that the Milwaukee would
sooner or later construct such a road.
Salt l.nke Line Opened.
The Salt Ijike route has been opened be
tween Salt Lake City, lis Angeles and all
points In southern California, with a dally
train service between the two principal
points. Temporarily the run Is made In
thirty-four hourB, and the equipment is of
the finest known to the car builder.
Through Pullman cars run Ogden and Salt
Lake City, connecting with all eastern
trains. For the first ten days of Its traffic
life the new road has sent out its train
each night crowded to the guards.

John R. Wertz, county treasurer of Deuel
county, Is In the city on his return from a
business trip to the east. Mr. Wertz is a
member of the general merchandise, lum
ber and coal firm of Wertz Bros, at Chap
pell. He says the winter wheat crop In his
section Is full eight inches high and grow
ing finely. "One peculiar thing about the
moisture this year," said Mr. Wertz, "1h
that we have had rains of several days'
duration. Heretofore, as a rule, what mois
ture we got came in the form of little
gusts of dampness. Recently we had a
rain which begnn on Saturday and con
tinued until Tuesday.
"Not only Is the grain giving promise of

Issued against the land to pay the cost. I
know instances where lands that a year or
two ago sold for $2 to $5 an acre are now
held at $15 to J20 and are selling freely.
"One of the best Indications of the pros
perity of our people Is to be found In the
tax collections. As county treasurer I have
been able to collect all but a fow dollars of

enabled us to clean up the back taxes for
ten to fifteen years almost entirely."

was srrested and the shoes were recovered.
Welsh will have to answer a charge of
petty larceny.

STREET CAR REPAIR SHOPS
New Establishment Will Be Erected at
Twenty-Sixth and Lake.
PLANS BRAWN AND CONTRACT IS LET
Construction t to Begin 'Without
Delay anil riant Is to Ba
Modern In Every
llespect.
New brick general repair shops to cost
about J33,0o0 wil be built by the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Street Hallway company at
Twenty-sixth and Luke streets this sum
mer. The plans were drawn by Fisher &
Lawrie and the contract was let Friday
night to Kocheford & Gould.
Construction will begin immediately, as
the site, which was occupied by the frame
barns of the old horse car line, have been
torn down and nearly removed. Officers of
tho traction company have been planning
on the shops for a long time, but did not
decide to proceed with the construction
until recently. Repairing is now done at
three terminal barns, at Twentieth and
Harney, where were formerly the repair
shops until crowded out; at the Ames
avenue barn and at the old power house
station at Twenty-second Btrcet.
"The new shops will be up to date and
modern In every respect," said General
Manager Smith. "We have tried to com
bine the best features of street railway
repairs shops In the largest cIUcb. All
the repairing of the company's rolling
stock will be made at the new shops, which
will be large enough to accommodate
about thirty cars at one time. We de
cided upon this location, as It as easy
of access as any other ana we own three
acres of land west of Twenty-sixth street
and north of Lake. The old barns ami
stables of the horse railway have stood
here, used only for storage of odds and
ends for about fourteen years. At one
time about 250 horses were stabled there.
The buildings were sold last winter and
have been torn down and about removed.
Description of nnlldlns;.
"The new shop building will be of brick,
one story high, 120 feet wide and 245 feet
long, fronting on I.ake street and extend
ing back on Twenty-sixth. In front will
be an office building attached, 35x50 feet in
size. The walls of the buildings that face
the street will be of press brick, trimmed
with stone. To the west we will huve
plenty of yard room for trucks, dismantled
cars and the like. In the north end of the
repair shop, which will have a flat,
trussed roof, capable of great sustaining
power, will be located the paint chop, with
six tracks and room for eighteen cars.
Further up will be the wood-working shop,
the machine shops, electrical shop and
other departments, giving plenty of room
for each. Every effort has been made to
provide the best of facilities throughout
and w6 will be enabled to keep our cars
In much better conaltion than ever before.
All repairs will be done In the new shops,
Including that to the Council Hluffs cars.
Wo expect to huve the new building com
pleted, all the machinery and fixtures In
and the shops In use by September 1. Ad
ditional space will be given at the various
car burns, so that more cars can bo han
dled nt the latter and In better shape."
The news that the new repair shops
would be built at Twenty-sixth and Lake
streets Is welcome to the property owners
in that part of the city, as many of the
force of fifty or more men who will bo
employed will want to live near the shops.
The fact that the huge old hulks, sixty
feet wide and 284 .feet long, that have been
an eyesore to the community for years
are going to be replaced by a modern brick
building filled with activity and employ
ment for men is a source of congratulation
to property owners nnd residents as well.
The repair shops will be the third of large
Improvements that the company has made
within two years, the first being the new
power house at Fourth and Jones streets
and the second the new brick barns at
Twenty-fourth and Vinton.

OMAHA. May 13. -To the Editor of Tho
Bee: Today we desire to offer a special
expression of our appreciation to the
Omaha council of the Knights of Columbus,
who took the Initiative In the latest bene
faction bestowed upon us through the per
formance of the beautiful opera, "Pina
fore," so successfully presented under their
auspices. To nil the participants In the
affair we proffer our earnest thanks, with
a fervent "God bless them."
During the eleven years of our life In
Omaha It has been our happy lot to have
received unnumbered kindnesses from Its
citizens. We came among them la lf-'OI.
Our work, with God's blessing, has pros
pered. It has grown wider with the grow
ing years. Among tho good people of this
city we hnve fount! many friends, many
whose approving words have encouraged
us In dark days, whose noble generosity
has made it possible that we should open
our doors to hundreds of unfortunate girls
and to children of desolate homes.
All our friends know that our home Is
not for Catholics nlone, that wo of tho
applicant for admission ask no question
concerning religion. Intrude no religion on
them, save the beauty of virtue and tho
example of Him who wus pitiful to Mary
Magdalene of old.
Again, we offer sincere and heartfelt
thanks to all who have assisted us, either
by their Invaluable services or generous
donations of various kino's. We dally pray
that our good God may not only bless and
reward them in this life, but that He may
be their "reward exceeding great" here
after. THE SISTERS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

Ayer's Hair Vigor has now been on the
market for sixty years, and we have never
known it to fail to restore color to gray hair.
That's a pretty strong statement, isn't it?
But we stand back of every word we write,
and we can positively assure you that if you
want the color restored to your gray hair,
Ayer's Hair Vigor will do it every time.
Your ordinary, everyday common sense tells
you that it's better to trust something that
has been tried for sixty years, rather than
some thing you only heard of yesterday; isn't
that SO? J. C AYER CO, Lowell, Maa.
