Orcaat.at loa.
Not hi at nes mora cfeaiiy revealed tlia
tata of attain in th Fontanelle club than
certain missionary work which R. Beecher
Howell attempted to perform laat week.
Assertion that Howell would folllow the
Broatch volt from the club wart met with
hot denials, but the- frequent visit Of the
water-togged etatestnait. to the Broatch
headquarter put the- deolala on the
aplt. It turns out that Howell begged
Broatch, Jim Allan, Bob Houghton. Lave
Tubbe, Cwonty Judge LeeU and other In
surgent PonUnellrs please to coma back,
and lunch at the club restaurant.. This
restaurant. It .seems, has struck a rapid
declln since the endorsement f Benson
and the split tnwni the brares. 80 per
lloua has the situation become that the
lilt chiefs are afraid they Will have to
tios the eating department unleas the
itronge can be Increa.ed In eome way.
Alt the- alleged enthusiasm for Benson
seems to hare leaked out at least It la
not apparent around lunch time as It was
thres year ago. Howell pleaded so hard
it la said the Broatch crowd finally half
assented to dropping in nw and. than at
lunch time.
"Poor Howell," said a Broatch lieutenant,
"started the club and then saw Tom
Blackburn run Away with It and throw It
on the rocks. Now he finds It Is going
to pieces fast. He has posed to do the
loyalty act and stand by Benson, but we
are sure wall have him tied up in the
Broatch camp safe and secure."
ft was reported that a day or so after
the name of Mols was linked with that
jf Dennieon In tha Broatch campaign Den
nison stood m a certain resort appealing
to all witnesses to note his wrath over be
ing coupled with his ancient foeman. the
notorious Mole. - . . .
"I don't care what The Bee says about
me," Dennieon Is quoted, "but I do object
to being, connected up with that blankety
blank-blank Molse."
Howaver. there la good evidence that
Walter: Moine has thrown his support to
Broatch In this, campaign. Dahlman's
friends so assert contemptuously, remark
ing that tha mere Molse label on a local
political proposition is enough to kill it.
but perhaps the beat proof Is the fact
that Molse has recently entertained
Broatch at dinner at the Paxton hotel.
Molse boards at this hostelry and these
little confabs . across the board with
Broatch. and others have been much com
tnented upon. At the Paxton Molse Is
credited with "lining tip" tha negro
waiters and other employes, attending to
the work personally. Politicians on the
street regard Molse aa much of a pillar of
the Broatch machine as Dennlson.
. All la not serene within the lines of the
lcral democracy despite the endorsement
of James C. Dahlman's mayoralty candi
dacy by tha Jarkaonlan club Saturday
night. Tha so-called "better element" of
that orpanliailf n and out of It are still
holding aloft from Dahlman until they re
ceive farther eurnr that If elected he
will give a clean and honest administration,
As a matter of fact he Is not expected to
be elected, but the- reformers" Who rallied
around Smith want to .exert - their. In
fluehcVupo.n t'he'compaigto more as a mat
ter of pride than anything else. One of
them- remarked that the attendance at the
Jacksonlan club meeting that endorsed
Dahlman was not. great and that most
of the "better element" was not there.
"If Dahlman will prove Ms fidelity to a
good, clean platform, he probably will get
our support." said this man, "but we want
pretty good assurance of the platform
upon which he will stand and the degree
of his sincerity. Of course. If he has n"
opposition there will be no necessity or
opportunity for 11s to oppose his nomlnv
tlon. Then. he must come out with his
platform and we can decide."
The story la going the round thtt the
Broatch machine has turned the old trick
of Importing a etar-gaser to read the
future aright for Its candidate. In the

The story of how probably the most per
fect feminine hand In America became
known to the people Is rather Interesting.
As the story goes the possessor Of the
hand was with some mends In a pho
tographer's one day and while talking, held
up a piece of candy. The pose of the
hand with Ita perfect contour and faultless
shape attracted the attention of the artist
who proposed to photograph it. The result
was a beautiful picture kept in the family
until one day, after reading a letter from
someone Inquiring as to who wrote the
Postum And Orape Nuts advertisements.
Mr. Poet said to his wife, "We receive
so many Inqulrlea of this kind, that it
Is evident some people are curious to know,
suppose we let the advertising department
have that picture of your hand to print
and name It "A Helping Hand." (Mrs.
Post haa assisted him In preparation of
some of the most famous advertisements,
There was a natural shrinking from the
publicity, but with an agreement that r.o
name would accompany the picture its
use was granted.
The case was presented in the light of
extending a welcoming hand to the friends
of Postum and Grape-Nuts, so the picture
appeared on the back of the covera of
many of the January nd February maga
slnes and became known to millions of
people.
Many artists have commented upon It
as probably the most perfect hand In the
world.
The advertising department of the Postum
company did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of tjie
public, by refraining from giving the name
of the owner when the picture appeared
but states that the name would be given
later in one of the newspaper announce
ments, thus seeking to induce the readers
to look for and read the forthcoming ad
vertisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination of art and commerce
and the multitude of Inquiries furnishes
an excellent Illustration of the Interest
the public takes in the personal and family
life of large manufacturers whose names
become household words through exten
sive and continuous announcements in
newspapers and periodicals.

A stranger, evidently from IUQ country,
together with his family, was leisurely
driving- along Farnam street Sunday morn
ing and, seeing a crowd of people con
gregated In the street and upon the side
walk, drove up to the curb and accosted
a man leaning on his cane.
"Bay, stranger, where Is the Methodist
church? Me and my family are strangers
In this 'ere country and thought we'd go
to church and get acqualnt'd."
The attraction was Company G. National
Guards, gatllng gun division, drilling in
the street, and at this Juncture the crowd
parted and the gatllng gun was brought
in position so that it pointed directly at
the inquiring traveler. The old man evi

uncovered before him, a look of terror
came over hla face.

he yanked his horses and tried to pull
them out of range of the deadly weapon,

dropped one of his lines, and instead of
recovering hia ateering paraphernalia, he
kept yanking the one line he still held.
The horaea, inatead of backing gracefully
out of an awkward position, were pulled by
the line held by the driver right around
almost on top of the gatllng gun. Tha

he got to the gun. A bystander, grasping
the situation, seised the near horse by the
bridle and turned the animal's head in the
direction away from the gun, and one of
the crowd picked up the dropped line and
placed It in the old man's hands, and with
a. stroke of the whip the horses were
started up the street on a Jump toward the

over his shoulder and then ahead, to see

of Purchase of City Hall Site,

i nntlnaed oa Street After
(ovarii Adjoarna.
The meeting of the Souih Umalia coun
cil last night resulted in a vote rejecting
ail bids tor the city hall site. This waa
the result of a rather exciting meeting In
which there were many charges and coun
ter charges of unfairness and graft by
parties outside the council who . were
called upon to speak. There waa, a large
crowd of pt-ople to witness the proceed
ings and the argument was more than once
transferred from the council proper to the
crowd outside the railing. The mayor often
had to rap for order.
The session was a called one ar.d It was
understood that the principal topic was the
question .of the hall site. It was first
brought forward by the reading of the
mayor's veto message rn the resolution
favorable to the purchase of the O street
site. The veto set forth the clause of the
city charter forbidding an officer of the
city from entering Into a contract with
the city. On motion by TV. P. Adklns the
veto of the mayor was sustained. In the
discussion of the motion the councilnien
explained their position. Mr. Adkins said
that In considering the question of the
site the council believed that It was act
ing In good faith and to the beet interests
of the people. The fact of Its being ille
gal to take such action had been unfore
seen. In the light of the latter fact he
was in favor of supporting the veto of the
msyor. Mr. Queenan, a -presenting the
democratic members of the council, also
took a similar view. The question then
came to a vote and was cHrrlod unani
mously to support thj mayor's veto.
Here the Troable Mart..
Then there was a motion Introduced by
Mr. Adklns providing for a special ballot
which was to be prepared, and upon which
should be placed the question of the two
sites. This was to be submitted to the
people at the primaries which occur March
6. On this motion the council Invited Mr.
O'Neill to speak and he did so at consider
able length, arguing for the O street
site. After him Mr. Anderson replied In
the same vein for the property on the
north side of O street. Dr. McCrann was
then called on to address the council and
his remarks were a seconding of those
of Mr. O'Neill. He charged the people
00 the north side of grasping after all
the public Improvements of the city.
When the matter came to a vote, the
question of submitting the proposition
again to the people lost by a vote of S
to 1, W. P. Adklns voting for the motion.
Mr. Adklns then moved that the council
buy tho site of David Anderson at Twenty-fifth
and M streets. No second could
be secured, so the motion was lost.
Finally, on a motion of Mr. Qucenan,
which was carried unanimously, the coun
cil rejected all bids. This practically puts
the matter bn the table until the next
council Is convened, The question of the
city hall site may thus enter to a large
extent Into the affairs of the present cam
paign. Besides thus disposing of the question
of the city hall site, the council allowed
the salaries of the city officials and the
members of the fire and police departments
end some of the general Items.
Jadarea and Clerks Walt.
The appointment of the judgea and ulerks
of the primary election was postponed
until a later date for the reason that
some of the counellmen had failed to se
cure the promise of any one who could
serve In the capacity. There will be a
called meeting within the next few &ya
to take up this point, as tho Judges and
clerks must be ready to serve by March 6.
Contracts were read and approved pro
viding for the leases of the polling places
on the three days of public use during
which they are needed, for primaries on
March . revision of registration on March
31 and for election on April 3.
After the session adjourned the crowd
engaged in a free-for-all argument In the
hall and outside on the street, which con
sisted of many pointed Insinuations in as
many directions. It la evident that the
people are still divided and each division
is ready for a clash.

When the motion of Klmer !i. Thumus
of the Civic Federation for an order to re
quire the Fire and Police board to cancel
the licenses of five saloon keepers came
up before Judge Kennedy of the district
court Monday at 2 p. 111. attention was
called by City Attorney Breen to the fact
that the essential part of the tnuiscript
filed In the district court had been omitted
by Mr. Thomas. He referred to the final
order made by the board, granting the
licenses to the saloons in question. He
contended the orders were necessary before
an appeal could be taken and without them
the courts had no Jurisdiction to act on
the motion.
Mr. Thomas agreed that the order should
be Included in the flies and promised to
make the correction at once and by agree
ment the hearing was postponed until :30
Tuesday morning. Mr. Breen gave notice
as soon aa the order was attached to the
transcript he would make formal objections
on the grounds over sixty days had
elapsed since the board had made the
order and the court had no Jurisdiction to
entertain an appeal at this late date. This
will be the first question brought before

Mr. Thomas stated to the court he was
ready to proceed in all the cases excepting
those of the Schllts Rrewing company and
William Buthorn. Theso cases, he tudd,
he would like to have continued until
Thursday. The other cases involve Ed

Mr. Thomas filed affidavits to the effect
that the delay In comphtlng the appeal
was due to the unlawful refusal of the fire

Sa.n P. Ials. an Omana newspaper man
of the early days and now owner of the
Carson (Nev.) Appeal, airlved In the city
Monday morning from New York City
with Gutson Horglum. the famour sculptor
and son of Dr. J. M. II. Rorglum ot this
city. While In the city the visitors are
the guests of Dr. George I.. Miller, of
whose staff Mr. Davis was a member dur
ing the days of the Omaha Herald, nearly
thirty-five, years ago.. Dr. Miller, tils
guests and a few Invited friends had lunch
eon at the Omaha club at 1 o'clock. Messrs.
Davis and Borglum will proceed to Carson
City this evening.
Sam Davis went to New York City to
engage Mr. Borglum as sculptor ot a
statue to be placed In the new library at
the Nevada 'capltol building. The statue
will represent a mining Industry and the
design will be left to Mr. Borglum.
Sam P. Davis is now comptroller of Ne
da, an ex-officlo Insurance commissioner
and owner of the Carson Appeal, with
which paper Mark Twain was closely Iden
tified and on which publication Davis
achieved the fame of being the "Mark
Twain of the Sierras." For several years
Mr. Davis' public duties have been such
that he has been compelled, reluctantly, to
lay his pen aside. As an Insurance com
missioner he figured prominently In stirring
up the investigations of the Insurance
companies.
Native Has of ebraaka.
Mr. Davla is a native son ot the An
telope state, having been born at Brown
vllle. speaking of his early newspaper
career on the old Herald here, he said:
"I can vividly call to mind an exciting
experience I had at IJncoln while legisla
tive correspondent for the Herald. While
working under Instructions of my editor I
incurred the animus of a gang which
threatened to hang me. Learning that a
rope had been secured to fit my esophagus.
I secured a horse and rode little rings
around Paul Reverc's famous ride In my
anxiety to get to Beatrice. I engaged a
substitute, who sent the stories In to
Omaha over my name. When Dr. Miller
learned of my plight he threatened to call
out the troops to protect his correspond
ents, but I reassured him by wiring such
a course would not be necessary."
"What dn you think of American humor
theso days?" was asked of the man who
has had quite an experience in making
others laugh.
"I think neither Bill Nye nor Mark Twain
haa had any real successor," responded
Mr. Davis. "Twain will remain the dean
ot the guild so long as he lives. As a keen
satirist, Ambrose Bierce of Washington,
D. C. still remains at the head of his
class."
Borilnm Born In Nevada.
Gutzon Borglum, who Is gaining an In
ternational reputation as a sculptor, was
born In Nevada. A great compliment was
recently paid to his work by James Still
man, the New York banker and art patron,
who bought solely on Its merits an eques
trian bronze by Borglum, paying $25,000 for
the group and placing the work In the
Metropolitan Museum of Arts. Mr. Still-
man never had even seen Mr. Borglum. The
statue represents one of the seven labors
Of Hercules. .. '
"American sculptors are becoming more
fearless and bold In their work," stated
Mr. Borglum. "We have been fearless In
nearly everything but sculpture. There are
now three or four American sculptors who
rank with the best of the old world."
Mr. Davis and Mr. Borglum were enter
tained at the Omaha Ciub by Dr. Miller
and Mr. Davis responded by some reminis
cent remarks which proved his reputation
as a humorist was fully earned. Mr.

Break Ground
in the Southwest
This Spring
The prospects were never brighter than at present.
Each season a new record is made in production and output.
Farming land is advancing in price as steadily as it produces.
Very naturally, then, the time for action the time to break ground, is now,
while lands can be secured for a small fraction of their coming value.
The climatic conditions of the Southwest . nhould be taken into consideration,
also. The winters are short and the climate a happy mean between the ex
tremes of the North and South.
To enable you to investigate the Southwest and to satisfy yourself that they
are all they are claimed to be, the Kock Island will sell on the first and third
Tuesdays of each month, greatly reduced tickets to Southwestern points.
If you are not satisfied with your present conditions and prospects and want
to fret "out doors' for an active life, for a successful career in the XKW
SOUTHWEST, write me today.
