It will be a pleasure to me to ren

matter. You have a pair there that

(Signed; JOHN HOVI.K.
Chief of Police.
This la another on of those self-explanatory
letters, like the one which the Al
goe woman, through her ofhvh.l newspaper
organ In Omaha, so Erotuaiiuely denounced
as ungenulne. The letter was received at
the otflce of Chief Donahue Monday morn
ing. The office Is In charge of Captain
Mostyn, in the absence of the chief, who la
in Washington attending the convention of
chit fs. When the woman and her official
newspaper have successfully repudiated
this mlHslve, others may be thrust upon
them of equal genuineness, but far more
startling Import, so fur as the record of
these pc-sons as professional blackmailers
1 concerned. Through the columns of
their official organ the proclamation, at
tributed to the female, was made In cus
tomary lurid style, that she proposed ' to
wrlto to Chief Doyle and ascertain If he
had really written these things to Chief
Donahue, but thus far the world has not
been taken into the femule's confidence as
to the content of any letter from Chief
Doyle.
Man and Woman Arrested.
Morris S. Algoe und his consort were
both arrested Monday morning and placed
In a cell at the city Jail. The charge was
blackmailing Edward Rosewater out of
liaO. The woman was not arrested on the
ther charge, that of attempted blackmail
ing of tl,750, on which Algoe was bound
over to the district court and bailed out on
a surety company bond obtained by his
legal advlHers.
The culprits were arraigned before Po
lice' Judge Herka at 2:06 Monday after
noon and, upon advice of their attorney,
Dunn, pleaded not guilty. Dunn wanted to
go their bond, but Judge Herka positively
refused to accept him. County Attorney
Slubaugh then asked that the bonds be
fixed at least at 11,000 each and Dunn con
tested this, pleading for a smaller sum.
Judge Berka fixed them at $W0 each and
the pair then went Into a secret caucus
with the man Dunn. At the conclusion of
the conference Dunn declined to say what
plans he had laid for raising bonds. He
bruBbed out of the city Jail building and
the prisoners were put back into their
cells.
Found In Rooms at Hotel.
The pair was at its rooms In the Murray
hotel when Detectives Heltfeld and Dono
hue called with the new warrant sworn to
by Chief of Detectives Dunn.
"They took their arrest philosophically,"
aid Chief of Detectives Dunn. "They
were not surprised. People of their class
do not get surprised very easily."
Xt begins to look as If the newspaper
that has championed the cause of these
people had a task of no mean proportions
on Its hands. The female who dared not
go on the witness stand In the police court
and allow herself to be questioned, but
who was exploited for a two-column alleged
Interview of a very patronizing nature In
this newspaper, is finding herself gradually
hemmed in by the tangled threads of a
remarkably bad past, and, for that mat
ter, her mule consort, too. Is caught In the
same meshes. - Aside from the startling
information contained in the telegrams and
letters from Chief Doyle to Chief Donahue,
other communications have been received
from Michigan points even more incrimi
nating, because more specific.
On of Their Old Tricks.
One telegram which came Monday morn
ing says the pair blackmailed a man by
the name of Ryerson at Jackson out of
400 and then that Algoe swore out an as
sault and battery complaint against Ryer
son. The female, this message says, went
to the length of declaring this man had
improper relations with her before and
after her marriage to Algoe. The authority
back of this and the other telegrams will
hardly be beaten down by any repudiation
which a man or woman of this character
could make through the column of the
most ardent newspaper champion. The
men who give out these statements are In
terested, not In punishing a political enemy,
but in upholding the majesty of the law
and securing the ends of Justice. Algoe
also went under the name of Alger in
Michigan.
Even more interesting Information Is
contained in another telegram, which say
letter written by the Algoes to old
"friends" In Michigan have been found. In
which the Algoes tell of their nefarious
conspiracy In Omaha, going into the details
of the case.
Woman Worse Than Man.
In speaking of the arrest of Mrs. Algoe.
Mr. Slabaugh said:
"I have been Informed that the character
of Mrs. Algoe in this blackmailing work Is
much worse than that of Algoe himself and
I see no reason why we should not arrest
her and make her face the tame charge
a that of the man."
In speaking of the bond proposition for
the two under the present charge, County
Attorney 'Blabaugh said that In all prob
ability It would be Impossible for them to
secure the bonds under this charge, as It
was Jlkely that the surety company would
refuse again to sign the necessary papers
to release the pair.

Announcements of the Theaters.
Mrs. Flske and the Manhattan company
arrive In Council Bluffs today and will ap
pear at the New theater tonight; this even
ing In C. M. S. McLellan' drama, "Leah
Kleschna," which they acted with tre
mendous success for Ave months at the
Manhattan theater, New York. There has
been a very large Bale for the engagement
and the house promise to be crowded to
night, a It always Is for Mrs. Flske. Her
position as the foremost American actress,
which ha been enhanced this season by
her long and brilliant engagement in New
York and the fact that she has the trona;
est play and most brilliant company of her
career, make her vllt here the most Im
portant event of the local dramatic season,
despite the fact that it cannot be played
In Omaha, no theater being open to Mrs.
Flske here.
No prettier or more wholesome domestic
drama was ever written than "Haiel
Klrke." It depends for Its Interest on the
mistaken zeal of a well meaning, but hard
headed father and the misery that flows
from his own misdirected efforts to secure
blind and unquestioning obedience to his
will. It atmosphere Is elevating and pure,
and Its story of deepest Interest. The pre
sentation of the play by the Ferris Stock
company at the Boyd Is on a high plan
of excellence. "Haxel Klrke" will be tha
bill until after Wednesday night, with tlfa
customary bargain matinee on Wednes
day.

The Second Chicago Symphony orchestra
concert drew a much bi tter audience. The
gallery of the Auditorium and the mid
dle of the house were fairly well filled and
the people were full of warmth and en
thusiasm. The concert was a delight In
every respect. Mr. Rusenbeikcr Is a
splendid lender and his men show the
thoroughness of his training.
The orchestral numbers consisted of the
Lenore overture No. 3. Beethoven's Irish
rhapsodic, Stanford und Omen's Scan-
dlnavlan symphony. The latter was most
Interesting and in It the orchestra did
Some beautiful work. Two movements
were given, "The Adnglo" (sometimes
called "Summer Night at the Fjord"),
which Is full of the northern color, wlerd
and romantic In conception, nnd the
"Scherzo,'' with Its suggestion of a merry
sleighing party.
The violinist, Mr. A lk, proved himself
to be a most satisfying musical person
ality. His playing of tho "Fantasio
Apassionata," by Yleuxtemps, revealed a
limpid, pure tone and a poetic tempera
ment combined with Just enough warmth.
His performance was received with great
applause.
Mr. Bcresford. who lias a big, mellow
bass voice, did somo splendid work In
Handel's difficult "Honor and Arms," but
his encore, "The Two Grenadiers," lacked
In dramatic effect.
One artist In the company came from
our midst, viz : Mr. Knmcs. who rlnims
Lincoln us his home. This was a special
appcaranre nnd he acquitted himself with
distinct credit, playing the Chopin con
certo (Spainato and Polonaise In E flat op.
22) In a manner which called forth much
praise. Mr. Eames has decided style, good
tone and the artistic temperament. He
should do great work in the next few
years.
Mr. Stanly conducted "The Flight of the
Holy Family." by Max Bruch, and the
chorus worked up to a fine climax.
It Is always a pleasure to write of Mrs.
Wilson. Her voice last night seemed
more beautiful than ever before. It Is so
rich, so pure, and she uses it with such
wonderful art. Her aria from "The Queen
of Sheba" was given with a breadth and
finish which Is seldom heard. In response
to much applause slie gave Kate ling's
"Irish Ixjve Song" In a most charming
manner. Mrs. Wilson's voice si ems to sat
isfy from every viewpoint. Why doesn't
she come to Omaha for a song recital somo
day ?
Mr. Rosenbecker seemed pleased with
his reception and says he shall come back
next year. All who heard his orchestra
during this engagement will look forward
to his return with gladness. M. I). L.

The special train bearing the delegates
to the convention of the Order of Railway
Conductors and their wives passed through
Omaha over the Union Pacific and left
over the Northwestern for Chicago. J. W.
Cole, who represented the Northwestern
conductors running out of Chicago, Was
enthusiastic over the trip. He said:
"We have been treated royally every
where, and especially along the line of the
I'nion Pacific. We stopped off at Boise,
Idaho, and were given the freedom of the
town, and also of the big natatorlum,
which Is supplied by three artesian wells,
llowing about 1,000,000 gallons per day. The
hot water from these wells also Is used
for heating and domest'c purposes, con
ducted through five miles of pipe laid four
feet underground. The Portland exposition
Is all completed and only awaits the com
ing of Vice President Fairbanks, who, as
the personal representative of President
Roosevelt, will make the principal address
at the opening exercises of the 1-ewis and
Clark exposition Thursday morning, June
1. President Roosevelt himself will par
ticipate In the opening by pressing a
golden key at Washington, which will set
In motion the wheels In the machinery,
electricity and transportation building,
and start the chimes In one of the twin
towers of the government building, which
will peal forth the mellow strains of
"America" as a signal to the world that the
western world's fair Is opened.
"The fair has been ready for nearly two
weeks and not a detail will remain un
finished when the president presses the but
ton next Thursday. The preparedness of
the exposition Is characteristic of western
spirit, which dominated the movement to
hold this great exposition.
"Nearly all of the old officers of the or
der were re-elected and E. E. Clark Is
still at the head of the organization. The
order never was In a more prosperous
condition, and although this meeting was
held at one extreme of the continent. It
was well attended.
"We noted as we came along the route
used by Lewis and Clark on their famous
trip to the northwest, and which the ex
position Is to commemorate, many historic
spots. History tells us that these ex
plorers used the roule of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company on their trip
and points of interest mentioned by these
explorers were pointed out by the rullroud
men as we Journeyed along this old over
land trail."

BILL AGAINST TOM MURRAY
Old Claim for Washtnsr and Ironing
Submitted by Woman Down
in Florida.
Mrs. K. A. Smith, who says she is the
widow of W. T. Smith, writes to the county
court from Jacksonville, Fla., that she has
a claim against the late Thomas Murray
for "four years' cooking and washing."
Mrs. Smith Evidently cherishes the no
tion that Mr. Murray died In the fullness
of prosperity Instead of being without any
available assets. She sets forth that when
he worked for Mr. Murray was "before
the new Jail was built and when Mr. Mur
ray was living In what was then called
the White House, on Harney between Sev
enteenth aud Eighteenth."
Mrs. Smith asks for an immediate reply,
as she seems after many years to have
awakened to the possibilities of her claim.
She doe not give the amount claimed.
