'After roaming the west tor years, serv

yeara of age, haa been advised that he la

farm la estimated at tlO.OflO.
"It was largely through the kindly offices
of M. H. 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,

Srirllrted to the drug.
Owing to the nature Of the evidence In te
case the county attorney dnea not feel
justfied In filing a complaint, but the trio
will be arraigned In police court Saturday
morning on vagrancy charges and the
probability Is the three will be ordered to
leave the city.
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. In addition to
the booths put in by the various parishes of
the city the women of the Bacred Heart
have announced a doll booth to be con
ducted by their pupils. 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. The various committees
of the fair are to meet In joint session at
the Elks' clubrooms at t o'clock Sunday
afternoon and Invite all those Interested In
the orphanage, whether hitherto called
upon or not, to join them at the meeting
and help boost for the falf.
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

and bought a bottle of beer and a flask

twelve hours later. Klncald maintains his

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.

There are no less than four-
teen remedies in this standard
family medicine. Among them
we might mention sarsaparilla root,
yellow dock root, stillingia root, buck
thorn bark, senna leaves, burdock root, cimi-
cifuca root, cinchona bark, Phytolacca root
Ayer's Sarsaparilla is certainly a medicine, a
genuine medicine, a doctor's medicine.

upon the Inexplicable silence of a woman

rare opportunities for the study of real

books, Mr. Gardenhlre Is known as a fre

"The Measure of a Man" Is a new book
by Charles Brodie Patterson. In this vol

"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

"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.

"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.
