rn, waa arrested In Council Bluffa late
li.-t night by Infective Tatulla on a
ft.irge or obtaining good a under false ore.
,Yaea. la tha arrest of DeLacey thera
hunts a tale of an exceedingly short mar
ried life.
The story of Deljicey'a ahort bualneaa
carter In thia city waa brought to light
ln lrss than two houre after the police
authorities were Informed of the bualneaa
affaire of the man who, they believe, la
either a profeaalonal crook or haa been a
victim of most sealous lova affair In
which Miss Lblotta flcheer of Harvard,
Neb., whom he employed la his office aa
stenographer, played the principal role.
About ton days ago DeLacey fitted up
an office In the Mfe building ostensibly
for the purpose of carrying on the business
affairs et . the United States Investment
company, and advertised for a young
woman stenographer, an(j subsequently
Mies Scheer waa employed. The "bual
neaa" of thn office waa progressing nicely
when CupM interfered and sent two of
hie darts Into the hearts of both steno
grapher and "manager" and Tuesday
afternoon the pair were married In Council
Bluffs.
Jeweler Growa Suspicions.
During; the acquaintance of Mtaa Bcheer
and LeLacey the latter had contracted a
number of bills with different merchants
and Wednesday afternoon he made out
aeveral checka which were drawn on the
Commercial National bank, the checks
bearing the signature of the "United States
Investment company." Yesterday after
noon he went to the Jewelry atora of A.
Mandelberg, 11122 parnam street, and or
dered a diamond wedding ring, a gold
locket and other Jewelry to tha value of
$140, saying that he would call later and
get tha goods and pay for them. Ha re
turned early ln the evening with his young
bride and the clerk accepted tha check
drawn on the Commercial bank and De
Lacey departed. The jeweler became aus
picious after his customer had departed
and telephoned to Mr. Millard, cashier ot
the bank, and learned that no such com
pany waa on the books. The police were
then notified and teteotlves Patullo, Horna
and Ferris were detailed on the case, and
the arrest of DeLacey In the Grand hotel
at Council Bluffs followed. His wife waa
with Mm when he waa taken Into cus
tody. His atory la that he waa doing a legiti
mate buslneaa and had been employed

Railroad Detectives Alleged to Mare

In the police court 'Wednesday after
noon the trial of Max and Mary Hlrah
man of Bheeley attracted considerable at
tention. Both husband and wife were held
to the district court ln Uie sum of tM)
each on the charge of breaking and enter
ing tha storehouse and carrying away til
pounds of brass belonging ta the North
western road.
Tha breaking Into tha atora house, which
la -located In tha Northwestern yarda near
Thirty-sixth and C streets, occurred on tha
night of July I. This storehouse was se
cured by two locks and both were opened.
The Omaha, South Omaha police and rail
road detectlvca started on the trail as soon
aa the matter was reported. The -result
was that two or three days ' later the
police . found the stolen brass In Mrs.
Hlrshman's bed-room, and arrests were at
once made. Thera waa one continuance
of the case but tha preliminary hearing
came oft on time yesterday afternoon.
Hlrahman and his wife were represented
by Attorney B. R. Leigh, and the Hate
end of tha case waa looked after by As

time Hlrahman and hjs wife were arrested
Mrs. Hlrshman admitted that she had pur
chased tha brass from two young men
And paid them tS for the same, She ad
mitted that the brass was worth about
$60, but Insisted that shejdld not know
that the stuff was stolen, neither could ane
give any description of the men who sold
her tha brass. Railroad detectives pro
duced testimony to show that Hlrshman
hitched his horse to hla wagon at a lata
hour at night and the tracks were fol
lowed to the atorage house and back to the
Hlrshman home. v
When the evldenoe for the atate was ln

WILL CLEAN ANYTHING.
Twentieth Century Son Is a Won
der. '
At last a snap has been manufactured
which will satisfactorily answer every
need of the dainty woman, and also lighten
the work of the laundress, Janitor and
scrub woman. Tha Twentieth Century
Soap, which Is being Introduced, is guar
anteed by Its manufacturers to do almost
miraculous deeds ln the way of cleansing
without being Injurious. One woman re
cently said she cleaned an ostrich feather
with It, although It would seem a reckless
thing to think of using soap and water on
anything so delicate, but aha inalsts It was
not Injured and became perfectly clean.
It Is asserted that dainty laces, fine ahear
fabrics, stocks and lace collars and wash
silks are speedily and marvelously cleaned
with the new soap, which aeema to have no
limit of usefulqess since the most highly
polished furniture, carpets, rugs, marble,
mirrors, woodwork, bath tub, gas ranges,
kitchen utensils and clothfhg of all kliids
are restored through the agency of this
soap to a pristine spick and spanness.
ine soap is something or a wonder, and
Is Introduced on the market In an unusual
form. It Is rather soft and Is sold for
housekeepers' use In pound cans. It Is
made strictly of vegetable oils, containing
no animal fat or lye. Its efficiency ln the
finest as well as the roughest kind of
work will give it a universal popularity.
The washerwoman and maid ot all work
will after a trial not only acknowledge
lta merits, but have a partiality for it,
because It renders the hands soft and
white, and has no Injurious effect on them.
It is amaslng to think It will form an ex
cellent shaving or shampoo soap, sTnd is
at the same time an excellent cleanser for
big depots, where heroic measures are nec
essary to remove grime and soot.
The Hoffhelmer Soap company of Chi
cago, which manufactures the soap, has
Issued . a monthly magazine called the
"Twentieth Century World," which is es
pecially devoted to housekeepers' Inter
ests and may be obtained by anyone who
uses the soap.
The soap has not yet been put on the
market In a dainty form for toilet uses,
but ln spite of Its plain appearance in a
can it will win Its way to the favor ot
the housekeeper and lady of leisure.

The holdup of the five men by a lone, un

went at the work In hand with considera
ble boldness and but for the fleet-footed
deputy coroner. W. IL Dorranoe, the robber

much worse than he did at the hands of a
number who were Inclined to handle him
roughly. ,
At the city Jail Wednesday morning, be
fore police court, Leonard Was taken from
his cell to meet the victims of his robbery
Mr. Dorranee asked Leonard If ie recog
