Brown, manager of the shoe de partment at Mayden Broa. store, that Croft has been able to coma Into hla own. Ytaing Croft came to Omaha about four weeks ago and In some incidental way met a son of Mr. Brown. Toung Brown told his father of the boy, who waa given a small amount of money to tide him over. Lands la Jail. Having spent the money. Croft was ar retted as a vagrant and when arraigned In police court was sentsnred ten days. He worked his sentence out In the patrol barn, but did not say anything about the matter to Mr. Brown until he was released from Jail. Mr. Brown became more and more interested in the boy and started a corre spondence with parties at Tippecanoe, learning Thursday the boy Is heir to the farm mentioned. Through the efforts of the police young Croft was found around town and told of his good fortune. Croft's story Is that his mother died wlien he waa a small boy and his father died shortly afterward. He had a hanker ing to see the world when quite young and just threw himself Into the. tide and has been drifting about ever since. Croft has but one eye, Is naturally bright, but unversed In the ways of the world. It Is his Intention to return to the Buckay stat and take up the pursuits of a farmer.

SUCCESSFUL FAIR EXPECTED Uood Kihlbltloa for Beoeflt of Orphans at Aadltorlam la Aatlci pated from Prospects. The executive committee of the Orphans' fair is well pleased with the outlook for a successful fair. The committees to which the details of preparation have been as signed have almost finished their work and are now but waiting for Thursday night, the lflth. when the fair will be on at the Auditorium for a ten days' siege. In the business booths almost all the leading firms of ths city have reserved space for trad display and demonstration.

Ths Bisters of Mercy will conduct a needle and fancy work booth. One of the prominent features of the souvenir program to be Issued la a half tone reprcduciloa of a photo of two orphans kneeling In an attitude of prayer by ths bedside, taken at the orphanage last Bun day It Is pronounced by all who have seen it as one of the most artistic as well as touching portrayals of "The Orphan's Prayer" ever seen.

EFFECT ON INSURANCE RATES ttesnlt of Hedneed Prices for Electric Llahts Interests Business Men, of Omaha. Men In touch with the situation assert the fight on the proposed extension of a year's time for the street railway company to put Its electric light and power wires to private consumers underground Is not ended, though ths ordinance has passed the council. Efforts are to be made at once, it Is said, to show the effect on Insurance rates which the extension will have and by this and other means to Induce business men to bring pressure on the council to re peal the ordinance. That it can be proven that Insurance rates would be cut materi ally this year if the street railway's wires were burled is freely declared. Should a fight along these lines be suc cessful and no settlement reached between the electric light and the traction company, the former Is expected to carry the matter Into the courts on the point that the street railway company has no franchise permit ting a commercial lighting and power serv ice. In addition an effort Is to be made to compel the street, railway to use the un derground trolley system In the downtown district. It Is pointed out that large cities like Chicago have refused to let the over head trolley Into the congested districts because of Its danger to life and property. The same arguments are to be used here to make the traction company surrender the electric lighting and power business It has and might get in the future to the Omaha Electric Light and Power company. DAVIS IS HERO IN HOT RACE Detective Captares Woman's WIgr and Later Lands the Dusky Owner Herself. At a late hour Thursday night Detective Davis of the police station figured In a chase that would be a money-maker In a moving picture show. James Klncald of Twelfth and Farnam streets made complaint to the police that colored people t 217 North Twelfth street had drugged him and then( robbed him of M7. After a roundup of the pro scribed precincts Nettle Miles, Jim Ha'.l and Ernest Wilson, colored, were arrested on the charge of being suspicious char acters. . Detective Davis first espied the Miles woman near the Creighton Medical col lege. Recognising Davis the woman gave chase, with Raffles in hot pyrsult. After running Ave blocks Davis flot close enough to the woman to make a grab for her crowning glory, whlcame off In a bunch and proved to be " wig of coal black hair. The woman wa? Tater arrested at 1209 Dodge street, to T.ulcu address she suddenly moved,. i i- ....I Manttned Miss Miles and Hall at the city Jail. Klncald's story Is that Thursday noon he went to the Miles place and bought a bottle of beer and a flask .Ki.bv. drank nart of ths liquids and knew no more until Hall woke him up twelve hours later. Klncald maintains his money was taken and two boxes of co caine placed In his pockets to make It HERMAN KOHEN NOT GUILTY Deaf Man Accused of Stealing; Belt Containing; Five Hundred Dol. lara Goes Free. After being out less than two hours In actual consideration of the case a Jury In Judge Day's court brought in a verdict of not guilty In the case of State against Herman Kohen. Kohcn Is the deaf and dumb man who was accused of having stolen a money belt containing 1501 from a guest of the Aetna hotel who left the rich package under his pillow on arising In the morning. The defense put Dr. Tilden on the stand to prove that Kohen, because of his affile' tlon, was not morally responsible. The state rebutted this to a certain extent by the testimony of Drs. Coulter and Spauld Ing, but all the physicians agreed that the manner in which Kohen became deaf and dumb, through a fall when two years old. might have had a tendency to lessen his knowledge of right and wrong. The county attorney's office thinks the verdict was sIbo influenced by the fact that the man who lost the money got It all back. CHICAGO PRIVILEGES NOW Pats and Calls Available for Omaha Dealers on the Board of Trade. , Omaha grain speculators can now deal in Chicago privileges. Chicago "puts" and "calls," disguised as "bids" and "offers, were quoted by local commission houses for the first time In several years. On the passage of a certain bill by the Illinois leg islature trading in puts and calls was trans ferred tv Milwaukee and has been carried on there since. For two or three years ths legality of this kind of trading has been In question In the courts and about a month ago the supreme court of the state decided that "put" and "call" contracts were legal. Since then It' has been a struggle between two factions of the Chicago Board of Trade as to whether "puts" and "calls" should be reinstated on the Chicago market Those favoring the privilege have won.

Mr. Oardenhlre'e wide experience as a lawyer has given him rare opportunities for the study of real characters and situations, so that his story has something of the strangeness of truth, fa personal friend of Mr. Roosevelt and an which Is said to be greater than that of fiction. Besides being the author of notable books, Mr. Gardenhlre Is known as a fre quent contributor to the magaslnes. "The Measure of a Man" Is a new book by Charles Brodie Patterson. In this vol urns Mr. Patterson discusses first that "natural," the "rational," the "psychic" and the "spiritual" man. In part second he considers The Son of Man "as man," "as Idealist," "as teacher" and "as heater," In the last division giving the philosophy of "mental healing" and some thing of Its therapy. The desire uppermost In the mind of the author Is to carry a word of hope to those who feel their need of greater lifo and ngnt. runa a wag nails are the publishers. "The Roosevelt Doctrlna" (Robert Orler Cooke, New Tork) is ths title of a book in which republicans everywhere are taking a solid satisfaction and in which democrats are at least taking a deep Interest, if only to criticise. In less than 800 pages are con tained the most vital utterances of the president, authoritatively arranged for ref erence, delivered at various Intervals dur ing the last few years on topics of imme diate political significance. Together they give a .brief summary of the principles of American citisenshtp and government.

Garrison, the compiler of the book, Is a graduate of Tale university, a resident of New Haven, Conn., and waa a participant In the Rough Rider campaign under . Colonel Roosevelt. He has long been ardent believer in the principles guiding bis life and fortunes. He waa a campaign orator In the state of New Tork on behalf of Mr. Roosevelt when ths latter was run ning for the governorship and Is exceed Ingly well qualified to handle the work con tatned in his book. "Love Triumphant: a Book of Poems,' by Frederic Lawrence Knowles, author of "On Life's Stairway," etc., Is a notable collection of original verse, containing about ninety poems, mainly lyrical in char acter, and concerned for the most part with love, religion, patriotism and prob lems of human experience, within these general limits, however, the variety of theme and versatility In treatment are very marked. One feature In the work of this young poet which should not pass unnoticed Is Its buoyant optimism combined with thoughtrulnees. Mr. Knowles, who was last year the secretary of the Boston Au thors' club, is perhaps more widely known as an anthologist and crlt(o than as a poet, his compilations having enjoyed a very large sale, but his first volume of verss won high praise from many sou rocs.
