Omaha.
8T. LOUIS, Mo.. July ). (Special Tele
gram.) Wlllla Allmack. a 17-year-old boy,
arrested here today, says that two youths
of his own age killed Torn Chung Tun of
Omaha, nephew of Charley Choung, king
of the St. I.nuta Chinamen, on the night of
July 11. The boy said he did not know that
the murder was to be committed, but that
he witnessed the tragedy and accepted tao
of the proceeds of the robbery that fol
lowed It. Allmack said he was employed
tn the restaurant operated by Yun over the
Turf saloon In Omaha.
A second youth Implicated In the murder
also was employed there. The third boy
whs a chum of the other boy.
"The third boy," he said, naming the
youth, "enme to the place Shortly before
cloning time, which was usually In the
arly morning hours. He held a whispered
conversation with the boy, who was work
ing with me and then started toward a
back room. I peeped through the door and
aaw the two killing Turn by hitting him on
tha head with a piece of Iron. Pretty soon
the two came out of the room. They were
excited and told me I would have to go
with them. We hoarded ft Rock Island
train. They gave me 30 and told me that
was my share of the money they had taken
from the trunk jn which Yun kept his
money."
Allmack says his father Is a farmer near
Melrose, Ia.
M order Suspect t'aaaht.
Willis Allmack, allns Harry Rogers, the
Chief suspect In the Han Fak murder case,
was captured Friday by the police of St.
Ituls, so local officials were notified Satur
day. With his two companions. Joseph
Pumrhrey and the other man, who also
claimed the name of Rogers, Allmack left
Omaha at S o'clock on the morning of
Thursday, July 11. A few hours later the
Chinaman was found In the kitchen of the
Sing Hal Iw restaurant, where he slept,
frightfully beaten and very near death.
Allmack and the others were traced as far
as Chicago, where they separated. There
la hot much chance now, however, that the
others will escape.
Since the murder four detectives
Drummy, Molony, Sullivan and Mitchell
have been working on the care, under the
direction of Chief of Detectives Savage and
Chief of Police Donahue. Detective
Mitchell will leave for St. Louis Saturday
venlng to bring hack the prisoner.
The evidence agalnat Allmack Is largely
of a circumstantial nature, but a strong
case can be made against him, the police
say. He was a waiter In the Han Pak
establishment and knew very well where
the Chinaman kept his money. The other
Rogers, supposed at first to he his brother,
hid only recently entered the employ of tha
murdered man. A woman known to the
police saw the three suspects In the res
taurant late the night of the crime and
when the rooming place of Putnphrey was
uncovered It was found In a disorderly
condition, showing that his departure had
been unexpected and very hasty.
GAS TANK MEN ON STRIKE
Thirty Think They Are Not Gettlngr
Enough .Honey for Their
Work.
Driving rivets Into a gas tank on a hot
day for 12.75 per Is a Job which became so
arduous to the men employed on the enor
mous steel cylinder which Is being erected
for the Omaha Gas company at Twentieth
and Center streets that thirty-five of them
truck Friday afternoon and have not yet
returned td work. The contract for tha
tank Is held by the Btacey Manufactur
ing company of Cincinnati represented In
Omaha by Lou Venerable. The principal
complaint made by the men waa for
higher wages.
The rivet drivers have been receiving
12.75, the heaters 12, the burkera $3 and the
laborers $1.80. A raise of 25 centa a day la
demanded by all except the laborers, who
ask $2 a day. There are, according to tha
men, seven riveters, sevan heaters, seven
backers and fourteen laborers Involved. It
Is merely a local affair and not a union
question. Only three or four, of the
strikers have union cards. Among the
leaders are: H. Rasmuasen, F. S. Kuly, N.
Mack, F. Murtoff and William Ryan.
"It la simply an unfair Job," aay the
atrlkers. "Wa asked for living wagea
and he won't give them to us. The unions
officially have nothing to do with It, but
no loyal laboring man will take a Job on
the work while we are out."
"The affair amounts to nothing at all,"
ays Superintendent Venerable. "One or
two of my men got dissatisfied and wanted
an excuse to quit, so they took the wage
question. They are wrong on that propo
eUlon. however, as I am paying them Juat

A. A. Sample. M years old, sixty years
married, fifty-five years a resident of Chl-
j rago, the strenuous city, delivered these
j precepts In reply to Inquiries as to how
I he had reached such a ripe, happy old age.
Having proven nil that he said to be true,
' he spoke with authority and conviction:
Never worry.
I'on't get rich.
Don't stay poor.
Own bsnk stork.
Ion't speculate In wheat
Own your own home, and don't - want
to own any other man's.
Shoot huTalo with Buffalo Bill and ducks
In Missouri.
Oet married and stay married.
Take a toddy three tlmrs a dav. and
smoke after you are 40. If you like It.
"Next Saturday the wife and I celebrate
our sixtieth anniversary," he said, "and I
would rather follow the path I have come
all over again than own all the houses in
Chicago. The best a man can do Is to be
happy. I am happy, and believe my life Is
a success.
"I have led the simple life. I have never
let anything come up to worry me. For
more than fifty years I have been In the
Board of Trade every day. I have seen
men wax rich In a day and accumulate
millions. And then I have seen their for
tunes shrink, and watched them pass Into
oblivion, and seen others rise ' In their
places. But I have kept out of It all. I
never bought a bushel of wheat rn my life.
I believe in the simple life In wheat.
"I have been a great hunter. I do not
believe that there Is any man In Chicago
who has killed as much game ns I have,
excepting the pot hunters. I have shot buf
falo with Buffalo Bill, and killed ducks out
of a canoe, fntil four years ago I used to
go to Missouri every fall and shoot quail.
That is good for the health of the man.
It's hard on the quail, of course.
"I take a toddy three times a day, once
before each meal. After I have had that, I
would not take another for the president
of the I'nlted States. And I have smoked
a pipe for forty years. No, not tha same
pipe." Chicago Inter-Ocean.

AFRAID TO CASH HIS DRAFT
Flea, of a Stranger Who Applies for
AI4 at Various Hoa
pltala.
Adrift In a great city, with a draft for 17,
whloh he was afraid to cash, was the seri
ous situation of Dan W. Mcllvaln, who Is a
chronic, applicant for relief at the different
hospitals of the city. Mcllvaln received the
draft aoma time ago, but he did not get
It cashed at once and now It la a month old.
Ha aald he waa afraid to present It for
payment for fear there would be no money
to meet It and he would be arrested. At
least this was the excuse he gave when he
applied at tha County hospital for a place
to stay.
Mcllvaln declared he was suffering from
a severe attack of stomach tioublo and
waa given a berth at the hospital. He
waa happy for a few daya. when the pa
tient In the cot nert to him died. Two
hours afterward Mcllvaln'a dyspepsia dis
appeared. He packed hla grip and went
away. Now he haa applied to the county
commissioners for money to take him to
hta home In Ruakln.
Superintendent Morrla of the Associated
Charities haa promised to assist In get
ting the draft cashed and Mcllvaln prom-
lacs to go back home. For some time he
hss gone from one hospital to another aa
La charity patient. When hla next-door
neighbor died at the County hospital he
evidently took fright and pulled out.
CONNELL FEELING HIS WAY

Inspection.
The proposed Inspection of meat offered
for sale In Omaha la still awaiting further
Investigation on the part of the health com
missioner, who la trying to secure more
data before preparing an ordinance to
cover tha case.
'I am not certain of the power of
Omaha to place Inspectors In South
Omaha," said Dr. Connell. but I see
no reason why tha city cannot exclude
meat which Is hot Inspected by a man
stationed In that place by tho city, and
the result would be the same. I have cer
tain knowledge that one dairyman sold
twenty-three cows at South Omaha re
cently and that eighteen of tha twenty
three were affected with tuberculosis. I
don't know who bought tha cows, but I do
know there la nothing to prevent them
having been sold In Omaha for food.
'Omaha should have as much right to
protect Ita clt liens as the federal govern
ment has to protect Its citlsens and we
will determine In what method the power
shall be enforced. "

ing. MAN EATERS OF THE DEEP
Ocean Tlarere that Are Feared and
Hated br Every Seaman
Afloat.
Imagine a whole school of 4,000-pound
monsters swimming at railroad speed. And
with vast Jaws armed with twelve rows of
triangular teeth that spring erect like
snake fangs when prey Is struck In a
lightning dart. Such are the voracious and
dreaded ocean tigers, the largest of the
man-eating sharks, feared and' hated by
every seaman afloat. '
Last year the British cruiser Eurydlce
was at anchor off Santa Lucia In the
West Indies, and a party of marines were
disporting themselves In the sea around
the great armored walls. The water was
most Inviting for a swim and Petty Of
ficer Henry Pell was giving an exhibition
of fancy diving to his mates. Hla record
was a full minute under water. They
watched him swim downward Into trans
lucent deptha, and glance along the mlgftty
steel hull nearly six fathoms below, feeling
the velvety moss and- weed as he went.
'Sharks!" The word struck terror; tTie
mere sight of racing, knife-like dorsals
threw the helpless men Into a panic, but
they were soon out of harm's way swarm
ing up the sides of the vessel. Tills took
but a few aeconds. nenry Pell waa still
below. He, had left the weedy hull, how
ever, and waa swimming away from It
under water.
Suddenly he paused, about to rise. Some
thing vague and big took shape a shadow
or a blur a first against the lovely blue.
Then a mighty dun-ccjored form, tiger
swift In movement, maneuvering ao rapidly
with the peculiar side or lateral awing
of Its great tall that the man seemed to
meet the awful creature face to face. He
could almost have touched the sharp, up
standing dorsal fin.
Pell knew he waa In frightful peril.
With audden resolution he shot up, and
aa he did the terrified monster sharks are
notoriously timid swung Its huge tall and
swept away In a perfect cyclone of mud and
sand.
OTtce on the aurface the man beheld, as
ha knew he would, a little flotilla of the
fateful triangular fins. He waa perhaps
200 yards from the cruiaer and aaw a boat
being lowered. Slowly and with ,much
deliberate splashing he began hla return.
Now and then he would pause to look
behind, and saw always the looming shadow
cf the giant that had located him first.
A most ferocious creature. Now and then
It would spring level with htm. but at a
respectful distance on one side an appar
ently effortless bound rolling Its hideous
white belly to bring the little gray ryes
to bear upon Its living prey. Tell was
fast loalng hla self-control; he was tiring
and crying out to the men In the ap
proaching boat. The Immense shark, now
bolder, more determined, was lashing right
around him with Incredible speed, churning
the blue soa at the surface and narrowing
the circles at each revolution. A terrible
situation for a helpless man.
Once twice thrice It flashed Its vast
Jaws, only to dart back as Pell splashed
with the fury of desperation. Hut the
boat wss alongside. A doien eager hands
seised the swimmer while others attneked
the monster with boathVtoks and bayonets.
But It was not to be denied. Even
as Pell was In the very act of being hauled
over the aide the creature made one Inst
plunge through the water, dyed with Its
own blood, and snapped off the man's left
leg Just above the knee. Not all the efforts
of the surgeons of the Eurydlce could save
him. Pell died next day.
These horrible creatures attain an enor
mous else up to forty feet, or as large
as some whales. I have seen a specimen
taken of the Oreat Barrier reef thirty-six
feet long. It had eaten a horse thrown
overboard from the Port Moresby steamer,
and Its serried rows of fangs were the
most dreadful sight I have ever beheld.
Some of them were nearly two Inches long
and two and a half wide. New York Press.
HOME OF FREAK COMPANIES
They Hare Their Birthplace In Maine,
the Paradise of the
Promoters.
Do you want a company to supply the"
people of Mars With steam shovels to dig
their canals" Do you want to form a
company to raise bananas In Alaska? Do
you desire a concern to trade In the spirits
of the heroes of the past? Well, If you do,
go to Maine and file your papera. You can
form a corporation with a capital limit
only exceeded by the skyline, and It won't
cost you enough to set you back very ma
terially, either.
For years Maine has been the mecca of
those who wished to foist companies on
the unsuspecting public. The fees for
granting a charter are merely nominal.
The taxes are still more so, something like
an annual franchise tax of $5 on tXU.
capitalization. Almost no questions arc
asked, and tt Is as easy for a company
with any object whatever, and a few dol
lars to pay the necessary fees and print
ing, to get a full-fledged charter as It Is
for a man to get a drink In the city of
Bangor and no man who ever went to
thatjflty and wanted the stuff that cheers
but Inebriates ever went very dry, either.
All sorts of fanciful corporations are
filed at the office of the secretary of state
In Augusta, and gaudily printed shares
of stock are offered to the public. You
need not limit your capitalization to be
sure, the more capital you have the more
tax you are supposed to pay but after
you have disposed of your shares you
probably won't pay your tax anyway, and
will let the charter of the company ex
pire. It's only another of the get-rlch-qulck
schemes.
Last week a list of delinquent corpora
tions were published In one of the Bangor
papers, corporations whose charters were
to expire on account of unpaid taxes. It
filled nearly two pages set In nonparicl
type, with close spacing at that. And all
of these were to lose their charters be
cause their taxes, amounting In most
cases to less than $25, had been unpaid.
But hundreds of others are formed every
month, so a few more or less aren't
missed very much.
The Purple Sunset Mining companies,
with a few million dollars capitalization,
of which nothing Is paid In. and about an
equal amount Is likely to be paid In, are
too common for mention. Goodness, what
won't they mine? Gold, silver, copper,
diamonds, platinum, mica, feldspar,
rubles, garnets, anything that the earth
holds, all are decked out with their little
papers, and duly labeled at the secretary
of state's office. And that's about as far
toward actual business aa any of them
go.
Companies to dig tunnels In regions
where travel is absolutely nil; companies
to raise mussels and , put them on the
market; companies dealing In oil; com
panies dealing In assurance (about all
of. them have plenty of this for their
stock In trade, although It Is more com
monly known as gall); companies deal
ing in patent medicines of all kinds; In
"synthetic coal." If any one knows what
that Is; In amusements, and women's
wear; In rubber, concrete, paving stones,
engines, foods, and land are only too
common. The most Interesting ones are
the freak ones. They abound from the
propagation of cats to the saving of
fouls. Among a few In the advertised
list which haven't paid their" taxes are the
Baldwin Airship company, the Artistic
Display company, the Blue Blazes Heater
company, the College of Physiognomy and
Sublime Wisdom of Life; the Boston Ex
poratlon company (as If any one ever
wanted to explore Boston); the Beacon
Ethical union; the Conscience Law corpor
ation (one corporation evidently has a con
science); a concern organized up In Kittery
for the purpose of dealing In bananas- a
company known simply as the Superlative
company, -which didn't appear to have any
business at all; a company for the develop,
ment of two republics, according to Its
title, and so on ad Infinitum et ad nau
aeam. At one time last winter It got to be

Electric roads between Podunk Corner,
and Squedunk Center, with a distance of

with an average populotlon of one family

management to let the contract for the
new building about August 1. The plans
and specifications for the building ure
already completed. These were approvt l

building to be uaed strictly for banking
purposes and It will be but one etoiy

vcnle'ne of tho bank, but no more. The
eoRt will not exceed $30,000. but with the

full capuclty In their new beef plant. The

With a few minor delays due to the condi
tions of a new plant and new machinery,
the work haa continued steadily. There are
twelve killing beds In the part of the new
plant already erected. When the counter
part of tho piesent building Is done there
will be twenty-four beds. The killing Is
done on the top floor and all the products
descend by gravity to the various depart
ments in the most approved modern sys
tem. The foundations of the new section
alone cost the company $70,000. Blnce the
killing In the old section ceased the wells
are being sunk for the foundations for the
second section. These wells are made from
sixty to seventy feet deep, and after the
bedrock la reached are filled to the top with
concrete. On these columns the pillars
which support the Interior weight of the
building rest. It will require until next
year to complete the last section.
