source, to tlie effect that Hanley and his
wife were seen together on the streets of
that city at late as Wewnesday of this
week.
The Investigation resulted from a letter
received by the police department from
Mauley's brother, who resides In Helena,
Ark. The brother doubted the story of the
drowning and his letter gave his reasons
ror so doing. The brother asked tne poue-e
to send him full particulars of the alleged
drowning and ascertain. If possible. If any
body was present al the time of the acci
dent besides Frank McKnlght, brothef-ln,
law of Chisum Hanley, or whether Mc
Knlght alone was present. The brother's
letter Intimated that If there had been a
drowning he feared It was the result of
foul play.
Relatives Kot Agitated.
The evening of tlw Say on which Hanley
was said to have been drowned bis brother-in-law,
FrHnk McKnlght, and llanley's wife
drove to the police station and reported the
accident. Mrs. Hanley remained In , the
buggy outside while Mo Knight went Into the
office. It is said at pollen headquarters that
McKnlght. In making the report, did not
appear the least agitated over the mat
ter, and police Investigation falls to dis
close that any effort was made to recover
the body. The clothing of the supposed
drowned man, who wan said to have been
In bathing- at the time he met his death In
the Mlxsourl, was not offered In evidence.
L'p to date nothing has been heard of a
body without any clothing having been
found In the river.
The police have Information that Hanley
carried a policy of life Insurance for JJ.O'Ki
In the Modern Woodmen of America.
Wednesday Mrs. Hanley was appointed ad
ministratrix of the estate of her husband
for the purpose of collecting this Insurance.
Hanley and his wife were on a visit to the
tatter's relatives, who live Just outside the
city, at the time of the alleged drowning.
The police will continue the Investigation.
The report made to the police by Mc
Knlght on the evening of July 10 was to the
effect that he and Hanley were In the west
ern part of the city looking after some
property owned by the McKnlght family,
and that after attending to this they went
to the river bank and went In swimming.
Hanley, McKnlght said, dived from a log,
came to the surface all right, and after
swimming a short distance threw up his
hands and sank before he, McKnlght, could
Hwlm to his assistance.

Yonnar Mr. Jensen Frlarh tened at Man
Itnnnlna: to Store.
"Why, 1 could not have caught yon If
I had been a race horse," exclaimed
Rubert Rude of Ridge street, who was
In police court yesterday morning charged
with attempting to hold up and rob on
the public highway Joseph M. Jensen, an
employe of the Schmoller & Mueller
Music company In Omaha, Wednesday
night in this city.
"No, you bet you couldn't. I am some
what of a sprinter myself," remarked
the alleged victim of the supposed holdup,
and a general luugh went around the po
lice court.
The report made to the police late
Wednesday night that Mr. Jensen, who
had accompanied a young woman friend
to her home on Ridge street, had been
waylaid and attacked while on his way
to catch a car for Omaha was greatly
exaggerated. The hearing before Judge
Snyder In police court yesterday de
veloped the fajrt that Mr. Jensen had been
the victim of his own Imagination and
that there had been no attempt to hold
him up and rob hltn or even molest him.
Robert Rude, the alleged holdup artist,
explained his connection with the caae
and was promptly discharged. According
to Rude's Btory, he left his home on
Ridge street to secure some tobacco, ami,
realizing the lateness of the hour and
the need for hurrying, started on the run
down the street. Jensen waB ah?ad, and
when he heard someone running behind
him also started to hot-foot it. Jensen,
certain that he was being pursued for
the purpose of robbery, darted Into a
side street, where In the darknedfl hj
stumbled over an obstruction an fell.
The pursuer, alias Robert Rude, continued
his way towards Broadway to secure the
tobacco he needed heforo going to bed.
Rude's explanation, however, did not
satisfy Mr. Jensen and he Insisted that
it waa the Intention of his alleged pur
suer to hold him uj and rob him. "I
carry as much as 1500 sometimes belong
ing to the firm I work for and I feel
convinced that this man Intended to hold
me up," he told the crfurt.
"How much had you with you last
night?" Inquired Judge Snyder.
"Oh, I only had 15 cents with ine last
night, but that makes no difference; this
man Intended to rob me all the same,"
replied Mr. Jensen, who proceeded to In
form the court that he was 20 years of
ago and was not easily scared.
Before leaving police headquarters Mr.
Jensen asked Chief Richmond for a permit
to carry a revolver and was told to get
a request from his' employers. ,
Rude denied that he felt any resent
ment against Mr. Jensen because of the
latter's attentions to the young woman
whom he had escorted to her home on
Ridge Btreet Wednesday night.

(From a Staff Convspcindonl.)
DKS MOINES, July 26.-(Special.l -The
commission plan of the government, which
has been adopted by the citlxens of Des
Moines. Is to be tested In the courts on
the grounds of constitutionality. The suit
is the outgrowth of the fight over the
queMion of the location or the proposed
new city hall. The council by a ruse
adopted an East Side site much to th"
surprise of everybody, since more . than
half of the councllmen live on the West
Side. This was many months ago and the
matter progressed so that when the ques
tion of adopting the commission plan of
government was up the question of build
ing a new city hall on the Fast Side was
voted on at the same time.
Now proceedings have been started by
the women to stop the building of the city
hall or rather to stop the issuance of the
bonds on the ground that the women were
not allowed to vote on them as the law
allows. The East Side people see In this
an attack on their prospects for getting
an East Side building and think it a con
spiracy on the part of the West Side
peopli to prevent their getting the ''Vldlng
at all. Hence they propose now to test
th law on the commission plan as an

In thlB city and his love for Miss Minnie
Gresdal was not reciprocated. It Is sup
posed that on this account he left for
Omaha and committed suicide. Smith
came to this city last April from Lo
Angeles, Cal.. and his mother still lives
there at 4012 Woodlawn avenue.

ment. The guides and interpreters took

taste for travel and adventure she vlaited
many places not usually In the tourists'
Itinerary. She believes most thoroughly
In the advantages of being unincumbered
by a party of varying desires and was at
liberty to go where she willed, Btay as lobg
as she desired and had no disagreeable ex
periences anywhere. Her guides took her
where they assured her no white person
had ever been before, In the Interior of
Corea, and she haa traveled on almost
every kind of conveyance from the conti
nental railway cars, the Japanese rlcklshas,
to the back of a camel or a mule. She haa
something of Interest to tell of each of the
thirty-five countries visited and has a large
collection of choice pictures, coina, atamps
and souvenirs of different kinds. Besides
Japan and Corea, she spent several months
In India, Burinah, Ceylon, Persia, Egypt

was Into the Interior of Corea. Mrs. Noble
stopped In New York after reaching port
for a couple of days and then went to
Detroit to visit her daughter and In a

winter. Her baggage was said by officials
In New York to be plustered with more
fantastic placards than had been seen
by any voyager In that harbor for years.

WORK OF THE WOMEN'S CLUBS
llilu l.nrj Salmon Describes
Ideal City of Twentieth
Century.
the
The Ideal city of the twentieth century
has been described by Miss Lucy M.
Salmon, professor of history at Vassar col
lege, as follows; ,
A city with clean streets, well sprinkled
streete, streets lined with well cared for
sIuiiIh trees.
Streets and roads that are freed from
billboards that are a stench In the com
munity. Vacant lots now used as dumping places
turned Into attractive squares.
Benches along the roadside for .weary
pedestrians.
Buck yards that are visions of beauty
instead of eyesores.
Window boxes that brighten dull walls
and recreation piers on t lie banks of the
river.
All these make for patriotism as well
as for civic beauty and righteousness.
If It is true that the boy without a play
ground la father to a man without a Job,
we may shrink from looking into their
future. Boys and girls are turned loose
on the streets; mischief, vice and crime
result, and when these conditions become
unbearable we turn to the curfew as a
negative means of dealing with conditions
that ought never to have existed.
Deadwood Is one of the thriving club
centers of South Dakota, having five well
organized, progressive clubs. Perhaps the
most notable wink done by these clubs
was In laying the foundation for the Dead
wood public library. In 1R97 the Round
Table, one of tho clubs, rented a room,
equipped It with a creditable supply of
books and magazines and hired a librarian
to take care of it. This library It main
tained for several years, until the muni
cipal government felt able to assume the
support and responsibility of the work.
Soon after this each of the dubs con
tributed $10 toward the purchase of a
valuable set of reference works and soon
after the dedication of the new Carnegie
building In V.i, through the efforts of the
clubs. 149 new books were placed on the
shelves at one time.
1 Mrs. Sherwood, chairman of the art com
mittee of the General Federation of
Women's clubs, paid Kansas a high com
pliment recently, when she announced that
the women of that state were more progres
sive along art study lines than In any other
; state of the national organization.
Governor Hoch of Kansas has presented
Mrs. Kate A. Apllngton of Council Grove,
Kan., with a gold and pearl pen In recog
nition of the work she did for traveling
libraries in the state. With the pen
Governor Hoch signed the art gallery bill
and it was presented to Mrs. Aplington at
the slate federation meeting by Mrs. W. A.
Johnson, when she iiuide her report of
the work of the legislative committee.
"Build c heup sc hool houses. Build them
fco we can burn them to the ground every
three or four years. Build them so we
can afford to atart all over again every
once in :i white." This is the doctrine that
M'.ss Jane lirownlee preaches and that is
rapidly gaining converts.

KEEN NAME TICKET
Under Stal of Secrfcy Democratic
Candidates Are Chosen.
PUBLIC TO LEARN NAMES LATER
t'aterrlflrd Leaders Will Tnke Hank
and File of Party Into Their
Confidence on Saturday
Maht.
In conference, under pledges of abso
lute secrecy until given permission lo
speak, fourteen men selected a demo
cratic ticket Thursday night at the I'axton
hotel.
From this meeting such democrnls as Ab
Waggoner and Judge Shoemaker were
barred, and the fourteen elect took upon
themselves the duty of choosing 1he men
who shall be candidates of the party at the
fall election.
At least this Is tlie statement of the secre
tary of the meeting. Thomas J. O'Connor.
President C. (1. Cunningham of the Jack
sonlan club presided, and as soon as be was
chosen all persons not members of one of
the committees Dnhlman Democracy or
Jacksonlan were asked to leave the room
and the conference bean. Judge Shoe
maker came up Inter and was requested to
leave, as was Lle-ense Insector Waggoner.
Agreeon Complete Ticket.
At the conclusion of the conference, which
lasted from 8:30 to 10 o'clock, Secretary
O'Connor said:
"We have agreed upon a complete ticket
and this will be made public Saturday
night. tTntil that time every member of
each committee is pledged to divulge
nothing of What took place. This selection
of candidates will prevent no ono else
from filing, but it is understood that every
member of the club is bound to vote or the
men selected tonight and outsiders will
stand little chance. There was the utmost
harmony and always has been between the
flubs, and we will be a unit in the coming
campaign."
A meeting will be held Saturdny night at
the Jacksonlan club rooms In the Patter
son block at which time tho selection will
be officially announced.
It was stated after tho conference thnt
while names mentioned on both tickets
were placed on the combined slate, men
whose names were on neither were chosen,
and It was Intended thHt the delay In mak
ing the selection public Is due to a desire
to be sure that all persons selected will
accopt.
Lnivyera Are Pussled.
Just how the democrats hope to effect
fusion on three Judges of the district court
Is puzzling some lawyers, who claim to
have a knowledge of the new primary
law.
"I can hardly see how a man can run
on both the democratic and the republican
ticket at the same time," says a prominent
lawyer. "The law requires a candidate to
make oath, when he files lils application
for a place on the ballot that he affiliates
with the party upon whose ballot he de
sires his name to appear. How can a
man make oath that ho affiliates with the
republican party and then turn around and
Bwear he affiliates with the democratic
party? If his frlendB file his name twenty
five of them would have to swear he af
filiates with the party and the same con
dition would prevail. There may- be a way
by which the committee could fill blanks
on tha ticket, providing a full ticket was
not named at the primary.
"Of course there would be no advantage
In fusing so far as the primary election
Is concerned. The votes a candldato re
ceived on the democratic tle-ket could not
count for him on the republican side of
the primary and we might have the curious
condition of a republican being nominated
on the democratic ticket and defeated on
the republican ticket."
One of the Judges named as likely to
secure democratic endorsement Bald he
could not quite figure out Just how his
name could appear on both ballots at the
same time, but ho declined to express a
positive opinion, as he said he had not
examined the law nor the decision of the
supreme court holding fusion permissible
under the new law. He Bald no ono had
ever spoken to him concerning a demo
cratic endorsement and he had given It no
thought.
W. A. Yoder Thursday afternoon filed for
renomlnatlon for county superintendent on
the republican ticket. James Callahan and
H. P. Corrlgan entered the race for the
democratic nomination for police Judge of
South Omaha by filing for places on the
primary ballot.
RETAILERS DEFY THE RAIN
Have Good Time' at Their Annual
Picnic In Spite of
Shorrera.
Bidding defiance to the rain and mud
the retail grocers and butchers of Omaha
closed up shop Thursday and turned out
2,000 strong to attend their twelfth annual
picnic, which was held at Fort Calhoun.
Many of them took their wives and sis
ters along, and those who had neither took
aome other fellow's Bister. The picnickers
filled two trains, which pulled out from
the Webster atieet depot In the morning,
the second train containing thirteen
coaches. George Green and his hand fur
nished excellent music for those who
wished to (lance. Basket lunches were pro
pared by the women In the party and a
grand dinner was enjoyed under the trees
at noon. .
Mayor Dalilman was present and was
called on for a speech. He said he was
glad to be there and hoped to attend many
more such enjoyable outings. Short
speeches were made by others. A game of
ball between the Sterlings and the Omaha
Merchants was played In an adjoining pas
ture. The game was hotly contested and
was won by the Sterlings by a score of
S to 3. Numerous booths, fortune wheels,
etc., were scattered over the grounds.
Several timea the sports had to be
stopped on account of showers, and aa
unique sight was presented by the dancers
who part of the time held umbrellas over
their heaefs as they "danced. Late In the
afternoon the ground became dry enough
to permit the races to be pulled off, all
except tlie horse race. In spite of the un
favorable weather all who attended, bad tlie
time of their livces. Secretary Fisher said
that It- was one of the most auccessful
plcn'ca ever held Iiy the retail grocers and
butchers, but doubtless would have been
larger In point of attendance hud the
weather been more favorable. The crowd
was pretty well tired out when It returned
In the evening. The contests and prizes:
Married women's race: Mrs. Delia Berne;
prize L'.
Young women's race: Miss Dora Kuii;
prize
(iiiis' race: Bertha Cohen; prize (1.

David Blumehthal of 2fts Cuming street
was riot so happy at the picnic as the
festive occasion seemed to warrant. At the.
Webster street station before tlie train
departed some pickpocket robbed blin of j
his purse, which contained about Ilsj n
money. Defective- Ferris arrested Harry
Russell of the Hubbell hotel bs a suapee;t
before the train left and Detective J. T.
Dunn took Bert Ryan, suppnsed lo be als
partner at the picnic ground.
