1 i Idle belonging to Paul SIiIKcIh, a sod of
Dd'ctive I'. 11. Sill' I !s. Vounj I.erh Is a
bey if 13 yens and, lather small of h.s
age, und on his appen: nr.ee In the city went
ll the Jail, declaring that he was in starch
uf a miss.ng uncle of the same name. It
wu found Hint such a man lived In Omaha,
but had Kiinc. The boy appeared to be much
downhearted nt not finding his tint le and this
won the sympathies of the police, who took
hhii to be a promising lad. Detective
SMe'ds took a special liking to the ht y nnd
went to the trouble to secure him a Job at
Swift's In the soip department, lie also
K t him a place to board at Mr. Burke
lodsrlni, house. He worked In the packing
Ikusc until Wednesday noon, when he drew
Id pay. Friday he attended a Junior
Leaguers' pfeii'o at Hnnscom park. Satur
day morning, however, he left the boarding
house at 7 a. m. nnd did not return, Paul
Slilold. recently purchased a pony, which
he had not stabled at home, but at the
neighbor's residence from whom he pur
chased the animal. This apparently caught
the young New Yorker's eye as "easy
money," for at about 11 a. m. yesterday h
visited the stable, saddled up the horse and
deliberately rode away. The boy who
formerly owned the horse even nw hlin
and n.ked him what he was about to do
when he tlrst arrived. Young Leech re
plied that Paul Shield had told him to
feed the horse at noon. Later the woman
tf the house went out to the barn and
found the horse saddled and Leech ready
to mount. He told her that Master Paul
ha3 bidden him bring the horse to the stock
yards at noon. This satisfied the woman
ind the boy rode awsy. When voting
Shields discovered the loss of his pony he
wa enraged and declared he would settle
with 1-eech for riding his pony without
consent. It never entering his head thut
Leech might never return. At p. m., how
ever, he reported the loss at police head
e,uirters and It was found that Officer Hol
low, who has a faculty for seeing every
thing, had seen the boy riding west on Q
street early In the afternoon. He asked
the bny why he did not buy a riding whip
nnd the boy replied that he had no money.
Thit wai the last seen of him.
Saloons to Close at Mldnla-ht.
O. W. Masson of the Fire and Pollct!
board paid a visit to the Jill last night,
where he Instructed the officers to see
to It that all saloons are closed promptly
at -1, not withstanding the ordinance re
cently pussed. by the city council deslg
rstlnr 2 p. m. as the hour of closing. It
learned that two or three saloons
hove, been testing the city ordinance since
It became a law. These places havs been
warnod by the police that they are liable
srrcst If the offense Is repented. In Mr.
Mnsson's Instruction, as president of the
heard, he declared It was no longer neces-r-iry
to warn the saloon men to close un:
but that evidence of the offense should be
tken r that complaints could be fllod
which would secure conviction.
, Two Prisoners F.soape.
James Hntuka, the special officer In
charge of the prisoners assigned to the
street gang, was much chagrined yester
ady at the loss of two thirty-day men.
Trust to Nature,
A great many Americans, bote, men
ad women, are thin, pale and punt, vltu
poor circulation, bncause they havs 111
treated their tomachs by hasty eating
or too much rating, by consuming aloo
hollc beverages, or by too cloea confine
ment to homo, ofllce or factory, and In
consequence the stomach ruust be treated
in natural way before they can recUfy
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
my such people, In fuct In every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great dinlculiy. As a result
fatigue comes early. Is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for uuuritlvo aid la
ahead of the supply. To Insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve aud
' muscle should take from the blood cer
tain materials and return to It certain
. other. It is necessary to prepare the
stomach for tbo work of taking up .rom
the food what is nwoatary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Mature
1 for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the white
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
. rapidly In professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver trouble.
These are found to be safe and yet cer
tain In their cleansing and Invlioratlnf
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root. Queen'
root. Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principle residing In these
3etlt roots wnen extracted with glyc
erin at a solvent make Uui most reliable
and etflotent stomach tonic and liver In
v Igor tor, when combined In Jtist the
right proportions, a In tr. Pierce'
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
U bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body aemilre vigor and th
nerves. Wood and all the tissue feel tha
favorable effect of thl sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians Lav been
aware at the high medloinsi value of th
above mentioned plants, yet (ew have
used pure glycerine as a solvent and
usually the doctors' prescriptions called
for the Ingredient In varying amount,
wiih aicoKol,

They were Nick Blske snd Charley Mc
Carthy, under suspicion of burglary and
other offenses. Haiuka had expected that
they would attempt to get away from him,
and sine he has hsd them has carried a
big gun. He took them out yesterday aft
ernoon to clan up the mayor's office. In
their work they were obliged to go from
ths main floor to the basement. leaving
their costs on the floor above to avoid
suspicion, they went Into the basement,
pried off a window lesdlng to the alley,
crawled up out of the basement and es
caped before their absence was discovered.
Hasuka Is lame and when the loss of the
prisoners wss discovered could not give
pursuit. He had hoped, however, that he
would at least have had a chance to send
a shot or two after them. It Is likely
that the men will lesve town st once.

RICH FRUITS OF INDUSTRY
Second Ten-Tlionaand-Dollar Libel
Salt for Dally fws Polit
ical Story.
A result of the wholesale trial and con
viction In the columns of the Dally News
of persons charged with Illegal registra
tion last spring wss, the filing yesterday of
the second libel suit against the junior
yellow. Charles C. Kehm is the plaintiff
and he asks for 110.000 for defamation of
hie character by the mention he received
In connection with hysterical headlines and
a half a column of more or less defama
tory statements regarding a long list of
people whose names were published.
The suit grows out of the fact the sensa
tional paper was not satisfied with saying
suit had been filed against the persons
whose names were given, but Insisted on
trying and convicting them all of "gross
frauds."
Mr. Kehm's name appeared In the list
and his address was given 1714 Cuming
street, from which point the News de
clared he had registered. The petition says
that for more than eight months prior to
the registration at which the frauds were
charged he had resided at 1714 California
street and registered from there, and his
name appears on the registration books as
registering from thst address. No Charles
C. Kehm Is registered from the Cuming
street number. The defamatory article la
cited In full In the petition.
This Is the second suit growing out of
the publication of this article, the first one
also being for $10,000. The registration cases
In county court were dismissed shortly after
the primary.

BEFORE THE PEOPLES' BAR
Greedy Thief Wotii Endless Chain Racket
on A. Tern Ono Too Often
SLIPS COG AND FALLS INTO A HOPPER
Steals Jaak Dealer's Goods at
Rear and Sells Them at
Front of Honest Mer
chant's Store.
At first blush It appeared Friday after
noon that A. Ferer, Junk dealer at III
Douglas street, was doing a landofflce
business. Pedestrians under the Douglas
street bridge stopped In the heat of a
busy day, mopped their brows and re
marked that the tide of fortune had turned
toward Ferer and that before many moons
he would be sleeping until noonday and
riding down from his country eat In an
automobile; also drinking cooling bever
ages through straws and winking at the
fates which are aupposed to control man's
destiny.
It Just seemed that way. The man who
created the wrong Impression and got him
self entangled In the tentacles of the law
was A. Puckegger of the Ivy lodging
house on North Sixteenth street. Puck
egger kept Ferer as busy as a monkey on
stilts until Detective Ferris got his run
ning shoes on; then Puckegger went to
Jail.
While cogitating over the unequal dis
tribution of wealth and ice, Puckegger hit
on the happy Idea of entering the rear of
the Ferer Junk depository, filling his arms
with old copper and brass and walking
around to the front of the establishment
as a regular client. . The scheme worked
well for several rounds. Having a large
business, Ferer did not at first realize he
was buying back his own wares and read
ily bought all . Puckegger brought along,
being particularly pleased with the man's
terms of barter. But Puckegger could not
stand prosperity) he got too "strong," as
the police would say. He forgot to burn
his bridges behind him and was thus
"hoisted by his own petard." While
flushed with victory and pelf Puckegger
got a boy to help him. Ferer at last
thought Puckegger was coming a little
fast for him, so started an Investiga
tion. Detective Ferris arrived and ar
rested Puckegger. Ferer received his
money back. Puckegger was "vagged'
before the people's bar Saturday morn'
ing and was sentenced ten days by the
police Judge.
The moral Puckegger drew from his ex
perience was that it Is always well to
stop before reaching the end of the string.
Carlson wept.
Gustavus Adolphus Carlson of Belgrade,
Neb., wept copious, gushing tears Satur
day morning before the people's bar.
There was a touch of genuine remorse
In Carlson's actions. He made a noise
like a man who had been to town, In
cinerated the dip at both ends and had
played both ends against the center.
Carlson was ready to run back to Bel
grade. City life, with all-night lunch
wagons and electric light bugs, was too
much for Carlson.
After thinking It all over the man cried
when arraigned before the police Judge
Saturday morning.
The police judge discharged the man
and told him to hurry back to that dear
old Belgrade.

D n w T ' '
E. R. Richardson of Philadelphia went to
sleep on the "Crowe reservation" Friday
afternoon. Translated from police parlance
to English "Crowe reservation" means Jef
ferson square, over which precinct patrol
man Mike Crowe has special espionage.
By making the novel pica that they fell
asleep- while reading the "male help
wanted" columns, the young men were
discharged by the police judge Saturday
morning when they were arraigned on
charges of vagrancy.
John Harrington, arrested by Patrolman
Crowe, was fined $5 and costs Saturday
morning by the police Judge. The charge
against Harrington was that he washed a
lot of dirty pans and dishes in a watering
trough at Sixteenth and Cuming streets,
rendering the water unfit for equine use.
Bennle Vedinsky, charged by Wolf Slgal
with stabbing with Intend to wound, wus
discharged Saturday morning by Police
Judge Crawford after a long and tedious
trial of the case. Sigal maintained that
while riding on Nineteenth street In a
buggy Monday evening Vedinsky cut him
four times with a butcher knife. Vedinsky
pleaded not guilty and stood for a pre
liminary hearing. The defendant formerly
worked at Sigal's bakery.
Miss Marie Clark of the Eagle restaurant
pleaded not guilty to stealing three waists
and two skirts from Ethel Murray. The
case was set for hearing Monday morning.
When arrested Miss Clark was wearing
Miss Murray's garments, but the prisoner
claimed she bought the clothes from a
stranger.
Frank Smith of South McAllister. Tex.,
and Council Bluffs. Ia.. wss discharged
Saturday morning by the police Judge.
Smith had his nose split open Friday even
ing while arguing the rate bill matter with
Reddy Gallagher, who managed to get
away. Smith was attended by Police Sur
geon Flynn, who sewed the injured man's
proboscis and sent him on his way rejoic
ing. INSTRUCTION CAMP ORDERS

GIVES CUSTOMERS AUTO RIDE
Th Kerr-Shallrross Company Ise an
Anto to Shovr Real Estate
Bayers Property.
Everybody admits that the automobile af
fords great pleasure, but It Is only a few
who are up-to-date enough to realise Its
usefulness from a business standpoint. It
may be used In a thousand different way.
Other cities do not deny that Omaha re
alty men are the most progressive of any
In these western cities and the latter I ev
idenced by the number of real estate men
who have Incorporated the automobile Into
their business. Which, besides making their
dally work a pleasure, sffords their cus
tomers amusement before the more serious
business of closing the desl.
I.sst week J. Fred Kerr of the Kerr
Shallcross company purchased a White
steamer, to be used In connection with their
real estate and abstract business. The ad
vertising end Is looked out for by Mr, Kerr,
for on each aide of th machine la a sign
telling the public to "Get a 'Kerr' Ab
stract." They have already sold some prop
erty with the aid of the machine and are
also using It for delivering abstracts In
South Omsha snd other places at a dis
tance. Little of their customers' time Is wasted
and much property la shown through this
method.
