The
Intimation that the Omnhu nolha
f, Torre I not doing all It can to aolvo the
mystery of th murder of Mis Rumniel
linrt and that to the negligence of the de
partment ts due the commission of recent
rimes, haa created considerable Indignation
not only Among the police officers, hut
niDong those who are familiar with the de
partment. The criticism Inspired Chief of

jf only forty-nine, working In thre shift.
,. Chief Donahue said:
jJr "I hope the rrand Jury will Invesllgite
lie polU-e force. ' Owing to the Inadeuuata
appropriation for the maintenance of the
police force It is too small to wiver the
dty-of Omaha. At thta time we have only
forty-nine patrolmen, working In three 1
shifts; to rover this city and to protect
!he property of the eltlaen. The entire
number of patrolmen Is flfty-four, hut five
uf them are nick or off duty.
"The flret detail consists of fourteen men.
tho second of twcnty-slx nnd the third of
fourteen men. Tho police force consists of-
twenty men fewer than It did fifteen year
ago. It I no wonder we hate murder and
crimes committed in Oniahn. Here are a
few of the beat uoVered by the patrolmen,
.luxt to give an Mea of what we are tip
against: Clark and draco streets. Sixteenth
to Twentieth, north to Lake. eaM to 81
temith and north to Mandercou; Douglas
and Dod h. Eleventh to Hlxteenth streets,
right in ' the burlne. part of town: Far
nun. Harney and Douglas from Seven
t. enlh to Tblrty-pixili.
Chief Tried to t.rt tlorr.
I're'vlous to the lust leglsluture I called
upon Il'rman Kountxu nnd showed hint a
dele.ll of police. lie was much impressed
and shocked that Omaha hud su h a smill
torce. ' ITc culled In Mr. roppleton and
both agreed the legislature should be
asked to appropriate move moiicy for the
uo of the department. When the legisla
ture adjourned we found we had j-ist ex
actly the same amount we had the year
iicforu, JllS.Auo. This Wf all the expenses
if tha department nnJ I think Includes the
saUry of tin; police judge.
"When the murder occurred Hunduy
lilgtit there wus not a pollceinnn w st of
Hcventeenth street. - It was Just at the
loae of the carnival and the police work
ing werti looking aft.T the business part
of town and the visitors who were still
here. During that week we worked che
incr. night and duy and did not have a
dnKle extra otflctr lmcause we had no
money with which to pay them. The car
nival company paid for some extra men
who worked on the grounds.
"The fact that Ouuiha has such a sniull
police force has been kept from the publlo
avrerally because If would be an Invitation
for all the crooks to come here and
peratc. I did my best to get more money
for the use of the department, so we could
Incraase the force, but my recommenda
tions came to naught. The Tact Is We
cannot Insure safety to the people of
Omaha and to their property with forty
nine patr3lmn. It Is an Imposxlblllty. I
hope the grand Jury will Investigate the
police deportment. It would help the do
,,purl,mcnt,.Jnc. It yov'd Pia,H ; the people
of Omaha reslise If their lives and prop

FUNDS COLLECTED THIS FALL
Movement Set on Foot by Board f
ftoveraors Respecting Ft
penae of Parade.
Tile Board of Governors of the Knights
nf Ak-Snr-Ben has a new deal on the tapis.
The new idea will be brought at the an
nual meeting to be held In the course of a
few weeks, nhen Secretary Penfold will
he.ve the year's accounts In shape for pre
sentation. Jt la proo'd to appoint a hustling com
mittee of about twelve members' to secure
! the 1Su7 parade fund this year, or at an
early date of the new ear, thus giving
the oigmlzatlon something tangible to
work on when the 1)7 campaign Is opened.
The proposition Is to make an Intelligent
canvass of the city and get subscriptions
from the bustnera men, particularly those
most benefited by the fall festivities. The
subscriptions would be made payable about
May or June, so that the work Incident to
the parude fund would be completed about
the? time the rrgjlar Initiations begin at
the Den.
The estimated expense of the paradeo this
year was placed at S16.0C0. of which fS.Suu
was paid directly Into the parade fund.
The balance will have to come out of the
profits of the street fair. The new Idea
Is having favorable mention and It Is be
lieved will lie approved by the governors
at the annual meeting.

to come down to the oltleo. H? !ook the
paper that was given him and :i very
few minutes returned with the iHgiutlura,
"Tall W. Clark." attached to the document.
Mr. Morrill looked at the signature of the '
parent on the paper and the writing of the ,
on on the license affidavit and shook his J
head. Young Clark protested that he and j
his father. wrote very much alike, but this
t did him no good. He was told the parent
would have to come to the office in person
and sign the document.
He and hU Intended bride left the office
very much dingusted. They said they hud
to catch s V. "k Island train that left in a

RECORD PILLED ON MlIORi

REASON WHY CRIMINALS ARE IN CITY
Farts aarf Flgares Wltkait folltlral
('lar Deal Kaoeksat niatw
to Aaaaalt Chief
Doaaha.
While toe local democratic orgau has
been charging Chief Donahue and the po
lice fotce with dereliction for not driving
the criminal element out of the city,
persons who are somewhat familiar with
the situation are pointing to the county
Jail records as evidence of th reason the
city has not been cleaned up. These rec
ords show that since he haa been In office
Mayor Dahlman has pardoned out of the
county Jail alone an even OT petty crim
inals sent there, after a hearing in court,
to serve sentences ranging from a few
days up to ninety days. This record la un
unprecedented, no other head of the city
ever having approached this number of
pardona tit the same length ot time.
Many of the prisoner who were pi
doned by the mayor were sent up a a
part of the efforts of the police depart
ment to clean the city of its) floating pop
ulation. In many Instances they wer re
leased by order of tha mayor only day
or two after their commitment. In most
of the cases the pardon doe not show who
recommended leniency, that portion of th
blank not being filled in.
Aa might be expected, the greater num
ber of pardons was Issued for so-called
vagrants. It Is usually under thia head
that the floating population that loaf
around saloon In tha lower district are
taken care of by the police. Of the lot,
pardons thirty-six were for vagrancy
cases; drunkenness comes nest, with
twenty; the social evil, sixteen; disturbing
the peace, twelve; assault and battery, six;
petit larceny, three, and a half dosen other
crimes, jne esch. This list does pot In
clude a number released by Acting Mayor
Johnson.

MAY CREATE A FUROR HERE
Local Diureiit Fecnrti Some of Celebrated
Cooper Eemtd.es.
PRODUCED SENSATION IN ST. LOUIS
Statement by Leading; Dragglata In
Monnd t'lty Indicates Success
of eT Preparation
Is Gennlnr.
Will Omaha be affected with the same as
tonishing demand for the new preparations
extolled by L. T. Cooper as has visited St.
Louis and the leading cities of the east?
The question Is brought forth by the
fact that a local druggist has secured the
agency for the much-talked-of preparations
that are producing such a furor and about
which the newspapers of the United States
have devoted columns.
In fact, a discussion of Cooper's prepara.
tlons and the unheard of demand for them
wherever Introduced has appeared In a
greater part all the leading dallies ot
the country.
The recently published statement of tin
manager of the Wolfl-Wllson Drug com
pany of St. Louis, which appeared In th
Post-Dispatch and Globe-Democrat of tha
city, would seem to Indicate that with n
exception these preparations produced th
same results In all sections, regardless r.
what pressure I brought to bear against
the medicines.
Hi statement is as follows:
"This talk about St. Louis going mad
over Mr. Cooper Is absurd. If his prepara
tions did not do al llhat Is claimed for
them there would be no demand. Mr.
Cooper has nothing whatever to do with It.
"The Idea that his personality ha some
thing to do with the sale of his medicines.
nd that the people of this city only im
agine ;ny"hav' been benefited. Is too far
fetched to be sejiously considered.
"One physician says the people have a
disease called 'Cooper mania.' This may
be clever, but It certainly Is not true.
"t have sold these preparations on trial
ever since Mr. Cooper made my store his .
headquarters. Anyone can receive what- j
l ever they pay for the preparations In-1
' Htantlv if thev are not satisfied. If the '
nnle are Infatuated with Mr. Coorjtr. as 1
Is claimed, and therefore buy his medl
i cine, why don't they come and ask-'for
i their money after they have tuken them?
! ut of ,h' thounand.. ot botth we have
"w ,mo,,t "nnc nRVe
: "A" " n",tt'r of f"1' at' IxUl" "
, except,on ,n th" I"1"1"""' demand for these
preparation. Before Mr. Cooper came to
this city I received letters from leading
druggists throughout the east telling me
1 that wherever he goea his preparations are
! sold almost to the exclusion of sll others.
"Every city In this country where these
medicine have been introduced has had
the same experience as St. ImiIs. This i
ought to be proof positive that the people
know what they are about."
In the light of this statement It will be
interesting to see how these preparations
are received in Omaha.
