A THE OMAHA SUNDAY HER: SEPTEMBER 8, 1907. t ( ( r.fEST CAPTAIN ON RIVER A. M. Short, Pal of Jim Hill, Review! Old Days. NOW BIO OREGON LUMBERMAN that He Has Carried Hirer rtilllon Feet at Uc-r Dona the Father ef Waters. n;ta'n A. M. Short, for forty years a Pilot of lumber crafts on the Mississippi river and now one of the wealthy men of Orefrnn, pnnecd through Omaha Saturday for Ills home In Medford, Ore. "Yes, I have fillotrd more lumber dowa thu Mississippi river than any other living man," said Captain Short. 'Moat of three 4 "lea and towns In Iowa, Illinois, Kansae. Missouri and Nebraska have houses In rnem built of lumber which I brought down the river In the early days. 1 figure thRt I have brought upward of 8,0W).000,K feet of sawed Pjmber down the river. I owned aeven tow boats at one time. Generally I took on the rafts at La Crosse, Wis., Reed s Landing and Still water, Minn., and towed them down, drop ping pieces of them here and there. Then the logs were loaded on trains of cars and distributed throughout ths neighbor ing territory for hundreds of miles. "The rafts were very large, containing from 7,0"0,000 to .600,mn feet of lumber rach. A raft would spread over six acres of space In the river. At bridges we pllf them ao that they wouldn't run Into the bridge piers. It was dangerous work bringing such a mass of timber down the stream In the swift current. If the raft bad struck a bridge pier head on It would probably haVe knocked It out. Twi Toga to a Raft. "I used two tuga to each raft, one In front and one behind. At some places we had to string cables to the shore to man Ige the big raft, this being especially the ;aso In time of storms. But I never had a bad accident In all those years." ' . Captain Short went to Oregon some years go and Invested heavily In timber lands, of which he now owns 19,00 acres of tigar pine "and yellow pine, which will yield 2X.0O0.WV) feet to the quarter section. The trees are from three to nine feet In diameter. Land of this kind se'ls now for 127 an acre. Captain Short was well acquainted with James J. Hill, the railroad magnate. In his youth. "He was a checker on the levee at St. Paul and I was a cabin boy on the boat at that time," ho said. " 'Jim' had the name of nevor having made a mlrtaks and ho attended strictly to bualness. I always vlatt him when I am In Bt. Paul and we talk over old times." In splto of his sixty-five years. Captain Short Is still In the very prime of life. H attributes this to the river. "That river air did It. It has Just the right proportion of dead horses and dead fish In It to make It healthful. Why, It would grow lungs In a persons that didn't havo any." His wife and 12-ycar-old daughter ac companied him. FIFTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY Itartman Concern Observes Anniver sary of Its Orlaln l.arceat Con eern of Ita Kind In World. Flft;--t o years ago this week a little store was opened In the city of Baltimore, Md.. which marked the beginning of the firm which is today so well known through out the United Slates as the Hantaan r furniture and Carpet company. "This little tore was started by the grandfather of the present manager of this great home furnishing Institution. It Is an Interesting story fie rise of this concern Into promi nence, as it wss told to a representative of this paper yesterday by Mr. Fellhelmer, the local manager of the Hartman store. The business was started In those early days with little thought of Ita growing to Its present enormous slie and capacity. In fact, tlioso In command when the bualness was first launched had little thought of its gaining national fame. It was established ulong the old lines laid down by the found ers of American business life, In which hon esty and fairness were the characteristic principles which were to govern the busi ness enterprise. It had a substantial start, built upta the confidence of the people, and has continued through all these years to follow the same principles and to retain the" public confidence which. It recognised, was necessary to Its success. To the present general manager of the Hartman concern belongs the credit, how vef, for the high'-standing of the Hart man concern today. Mr. I .eon Hartman, grandson of the founder of the business, cartie west In 1SSS with his mind filled with ghts of a large chain of stores that might be established and operated under ; one management so as to effect great econ ( omles and , reduce the cost of production, nd In that way establish a reputation for low brlcei stich as was Impossible with re call stores operating Independently and .alarie.

KIDNEYTROUBLE Suffered Two YeartRelttvtd In Thrtt Months. hi!- I MR. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky.. writes: "I hare suffered with kidney and other trouble (or tea jean past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have rot used It since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to t lie curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-ru-na for Kidney Trouble. Mrs. George H. Slmser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I have not been well for abouf four years. X had kidney trouble, and. In fact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna an.l Manalln. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one ot Manalln, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalln cured me and made a different woman of me al together. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of ths kidneys to re more from the blood all poisonous ma terials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna Is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. that city and others followed In the course of a few years. . They have since that time been branching out In the different cities until today the Hartman concern repre sents a great chain of stores, twenty-two In number. Mr. Hartman proved himself to possess rare ability In the management of affairs and has conducted this great business en terprise with marked success. The firm to day enjoys the distinction of being tho largest home furnishing Institution In the world. The success of the store Is Inter woven with the history of the rise and growth of some of the largest cities In the fnlted Btates. Among the many cities In which their stores are located are the following: Chi cago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Peoria, St. Joseph, Omaha, Louisville, Rochester, Bal timore, Memphis, Washington, Indianapo lis, Terre Haute, South Bend and Joliet. Tho selling capacity of this great chain of stores is so great that they have been enabled to operate factories of their own and take the entire outputs of other fao orles, and through the placing of Immense onntracts aro enabled to reduce the cost of manufacture of their goods and give 'them wonderful advantages In making re tail prices. ' The Hartman store has adopted many policies which are Individually their own and wholly unlike those adopted by other concerns in their line, In fact they claim to owe a great deal of their success to their original methods and generous prin ciples. They believe In a very liberal policy and as Mr. Fellhelmer thoroughly convinced our representative, they make a sincere effort to ' give the best possible service to every customer. One ot their liberal policies is to excuse all customers from making payments when they are 111 or out of work, thus befriending and tiding them over. Another worthy feature Is that when the bread-winner of the family Is removed by death, all the indebtedness is cancelled and the dependent ones are given the goods without another cent being paid. The Hartman concern haf had occasion to cancel the Indebtedness of : something like thirty-eight families In Omaha. These families were handed receipts In 'full for all they owed the Hartman .store, practi cally giving outright home outfits to these people and helping them when they moat needed assistance What It meant tn each case to the bereaved ones to receive such generous treatment may well be Imagined. Mr. Fellhelmer believes most strongly in the liberal - policy outlined by Mr. Leon Hartman, and is working out the success of the business here In Omaha by a faith ful observance of those policies. The success of the Hartman store In this city has dated from Its opening day. Mr. Fellhelmer, as manager of the store, has proved himself equal to the task. He has shown a capacity for making friends both Inside and outside of the business. He tries to make It a point to become ptr sonally acquainted with each and every customer. He wants every patron to know that the Hartman store Is a different store and one In which the manager and every clerk believes In giving them the service that their Individual requirements demand. Wlth this firm growing as rapidly as It la at present, we can only wonder what the next ten years will bring forth. With a chain of twenty-two stores today, all operating as one, It Is safe to believe that this organisation may- be double its sirs within the next decade and as all American cltliens admire activity and business enter prise, all will rejoice In the extraordinary success of this great modern business en terprise. Opening of Paxton Cafe. The Paxton hotel cafe will make Its Initial bid for the evening theatrical and party trade with a formal opening from ( to It p. m. on Monday. September . All are cordially Invited to come and ac quaint themselves with the home-like, re fined and commodious surroundings of this popular hotel and cafe. Flowers will be In abundance. Good music. Punch served free. The new entrance directly entering the cafe from Fourteenth street will then be opened to patrons who do not care to walk through the spacious lobby. The opening of this cafe for evening business marks a new era for this already popular bouse and will no doubt meet with the decided approval of many friends and patrons. Nowhere In Omaha can be found a bet ter selection of wines, and the excellence of the cuisine Is too well known to need mention. Meals will be served to those who desire during the opening.

WANTS TO REVISE THE CHARTER rrosmea Making Issue PI vet la ext Legislative Campaign lare Rearhlna; Dnd sf Plat form Promises. Mayor Dahlman has almost given up hope of acquiring the gas plant for the city under the proposed ti.500.000 bond -Issue, except possibly by agreement with the gas company, until after the next legis lature has a chance to amend the city charter. At present the charter does not give the city the right to acquire the gas plant by condemnations proceedings, as everybody knew before the democratic fire works came off. and Mayor Dahlman would make a change In the charter the Issue of the next legislative campaign In this county. "Since talking with the city attorney," snld Mayor Dahlman, "I have about con cluded the only way we can acquire the plant now Is by an agreement with the gas company. If the city and the gas company could agree on a price the way would be easy. But I have little hopes of such an agreement. I think the com pany Is making so much money out of gas at fl.15 tHat It would demand too high a price for the plant. "At present the city has no power to take condemnation proceedings to acquire the plant and if the company should re fuse to sell on equitable terms we would be up against It. My remedy would bo to make a change In the charter giving the city the right to condemn a campaign Is sue at the next legislative election. This would put the question squarely up to the people and if we send a delegation down to Lincoln squarely pledged to secure this change in the charter we would have no trouble In getting it, as the rest of the members are not Interested In our local gas fight and would give us whatever we asked for. We tried to get such a law through the legislature last winter, but for some reason we could not make much head way. Wants to Proceed with Bonda. "I favor going ahead and voting the bonds. Then we will be ready for business when the legislature gives us power to proceed. I hold It will be a good business Investment, as from my Investigation I am convinced gas can be manufactured and distributed here for 70 cents a thousand feet. With dollar gas there will be a good margin to pay interest and provide a sink ing fund for the retirement of the principal. Then the public will have the benefit of the reduction." "This whole thing Is tho result of a cut-and-dried political program," said a promi nent business man who has Been watching the grandstand play of the democrats with considerable amusement. "The mayor's party sent him before the voters on a plat form of Impossible pledges. He knew and his supporters knew when they made some of these pledges they could not, under ex isting laws, fulfill them. They also knew there Is a certain class of persona who can always be hoodwinked, and so they pro ceeded with their grandstand play of knocking the life out of the Gas trust. They passed the ordinance through the council as a part of that program, knowing then, as they admit they know now, their work was all a sham, but appreciating the fact they could go before the voters next time and say, 'Look, we have done all we could; we promised yoa cheap gas, we passed an ordinance to give It to you and would have done so had we not been pre cluded by existing laws. And they know this bluff will stick with a certain class, but It will not go with the voters who do their own thinking. "Everybody in Omana wants cheaper gas, but the majority of the people doubtless know that the course the mayor and his friends pretended to take to get It was an Impossible one. The mayor knew It at first as well as he knows It now." FIGHTING IN BELFAST (Continued from First Page.) Albert street, where the mob were raining down volleys of missiles. The cavalry 'had returned from a charge In Culltngtree road. They again received the order to fall In, and took up their posltlun in front, A body of infantry, 150 strong, with bayo nets fixed, fell In behind, 100 Royal Irish constabulary bringing up the rear. The cavalry advanced at the gallop, followed by their supports. The solid phalanx swerved Into Mary street, and then came I scene of wild confusion. The mob pre clpitately retreated, those who were not sufficiently fleet of foot to get clear of bayonet and sabre running for shelter to any spot In which It was poslble to hide As the result of that night's conflict, the roll of hospital patients was augmented by several hundreds, including thirty police men. In addition, Lieutenant Anwyl Pas stngham of the Fourth Middlesex regiment sustained a severe scalp wound, and was unconscious the greater part of the night. Twelve men of the same battalion were taken to a hospital suffering ,'rom Injuries. The streets next morning presented an extraordinary spectacle, being covered with paving stones, brickbats and broken bottles. In most houses there was not a whole pane of glass, while the footpaths were stained with blood. A Sanguinary Conflict. But Sunday's sanguinary engagement was a mere skirmish by comparison with what Monday night brought forth. A reporter thus vividly describes the awful scenes he witnessed: "Rioting broke i-l". xVirtly after 5 o'clock when troops were taltM off the streets. I made my way to Die. Kn of the trouble, but was delayed & aalklng, as all the Jarveys refused to take 'fares.' Passing out from Davis street Into the Nationalist quarter, I found the whole of the network of streets lying between there and the Falls road in a state of the wildest excite ment. The streets had been torn up for ammunition, and some thousands of men and boys armed with stones and with sticks. "Women and girls were standing around the doors of the poverty-stricken houses, shrieking, gesticulating and urging the men to go forward against the troops. No soldiers were at this time to be seen In the streets. From the shelter of the houses men were hurling stones over the housetops Into the adjoining streets, where. It was believed, the soldiers were placed. Showers ot stones came flying back, thrown, as I subsequently discovered, by the troops. Wild-eyed men and women were to be seen running In all directions, calling down Im precations on the military forces. Every now and then, as a rumor reached them that the troops were advancing they fled shrieking and bowling with terror. After each retreat there was a fresh sortie. As I made my way through the crowds a girl of fourteen years or so came running up to me, shouting. 'They have klUod my father.' A crowd of enraged men and women running after the c:.lld re peated with awful oaths and curses the statement. "The women and men who had offered to be mr guides suddenly learned that th soldiers were charging. They fled, leaving I me alne In the street. At surh a Juncture It was Impossible for me to Join the troops, j for they. too. like the rioters, seemed to be Infuriated, and were charging down the street with fixed bayonets. elllpg the while. All the houses were either broken Into or barricaded. The" path of the sol dlrs was everywhere followed by n deathly silence, to bs broken agsln by the return of the hooting crowds as the rioters dashed frori one street to the other or slipped Into their houses. Wandering for a time aimlessly, I once more came across some of the rioters, who directed me In the direction of the Falls road. Many of these per.nle were very menacing, hut I managed to secure soni.T friends and got close to the military lines. Many of the people composing the crowd were highly respectable artisans anil spin ners, although In their distressed condition they presented pathetic spectacles. On tho other hand, there were hundreds of rowdies and loafers of the lowest type. 'A worse scene of confusion confronted me In Falls road. All the shops were closed and barricaded. The trams hnd been taken off the streets and troops were In posses sion of the thoroughfares. The troops wero sheltering from the continuous volley of stones at the corner of the side streets. The Third Dragoon Guards were dashing along the road backwards and forwards. Each time they did so they were received at the side streets with volleys of stones. I was Informed that one man had been shot by the soldiers In Albert street. Father Laverty of St. Peter's church made his way to the scene of the firing too late to deliver the last communion. 'He died with out the lost sacrament,' several men yelled, adding, with a frightful oath, that not a British soldier should leave the city alive. "Some of the soldiers, In venturing down the side streets, became detached from their companions, and had to make a ter- rifle struggle to get up with their comrades j I was tntd hv some men nf the fltiftnelr 1 regiment that several of the soldiers had been captured by the rioters. "God help them If It is true,' the men added. A Maddened Mch. "Despite the charges of the military, the rioters gradually crept up to the Falls road. and In a flash they suddenly took posses sion of It from the Falls park end, and In numbers which like magic assumed the pro portions of a shrieking, yelling, maddened mob of 3,000 people, nearly all men. The soldiers and the mob . were soon fighting hand-to-hand, and the troops were driven back. Qaptaln Welsh, the military magis trate, then came galloping up with several officers, and, raising his hand, called upon the crowds to disperse. Stones and groans were the response. Matters were looking desperate, as many of the soldiers had been badly injured, when Captain Welsh ordered the foremost infantry line to present arms. "As the rifles were raised to the shoulder the entire mob bore down upon the troops. In the confusion that followed I heard the order, 'Fire!' The soldiers fired low down, and I saw several of the rioters fall dead or wounded. Including a boy. Shrieks and groans of the most awful description fol lowed the volley, and most of the rioters fled. Detachments of the soldiers chased the mob down the sldestneets. For the moment the crowd was completely cowed by the bullets. Then they began carrying off their wounded, with the exception of the boy, who was taken to the Royal Vic toria hospital, shot through the arm. "Darkness was now setting In, and within half an hour twilight had fallen on the streets. The truce was of brief duration. The rioters, temporarily dismayed, re turned to the scene of action, and there was a repetition of the stone-throwing. I gained temporary shelter after the firing In a shop, until I saw Captain Welsh gallop past. On getting up with him, opposite the Model National schools, he Informed me that, deeply as he regretted It, he had been compelled to order the troops to fire two rounds of ball cartridges." The funeral of the victims took place amid a drenching downpour of rain. The coffins, wtilch were carried shoulder-high behind the hearses, were followed by hun dreds of men and women, the latter closely wrapped in black shawls. - The scene was one of appealing and unforgettable pathos. A settlement was Anally reached after the strike had lasted seven weeks, under the terms of which the carters returned to work without prejudice. The hours of working are fixed at ten per day, exclusive of meal hours, except on Saturday, when the hours are to be eight. Added to these clauses la a .long schedule rearranging the wages of the different classes of the men. The labor troubles, of course, are not yet entirely over. That Is the reason why the military are still on duty at the docks, but there Is a general feeling that, with the carters' dispute settled, the difficulties In which the dockers and some of the hands engaged In the coat trade are concerned may prove comparatively easy of adjust ment. It Is clear that an Inquiry Into the whole course of affairs Is Inevitable, and. If not , ordered by the ministers, will be demanded by public opinion. All sects and parties In Belfast agree that an investigation should be held. The military do not shun It. The representatives of the police at the In quests declared that they desire It. ASLEEP UNDER THE TABLE Tbnn and There In Private Kitchen la Mnn with 8rce DIs. covered. James Thompson of fifteenth and Chi cago streets ran amurk at Seventeenth and Davenport streets late Friday night and succeeded In frightening the Inhabitants of the Utopia boarding house, into a general panic. Thompson wandered Into one house near the Utopia by the rear door, which he broke open and the hurry call was turned Into tho police station from there. By the time the wagon arrived on the scene ho had gone to the I'topla and was found asleep In the kitchen under the table. Judge Altatadt gave him ten days for this little rpree. OMAHA PROFiTS BY FAIR Local Jobbers Have Blar Hnn of Bol neas from Their Country Cnstomers. Omaha Jobbers have profited Immensely by the state fair at Lincoln because of the large number of merchants from the west ern part of the state who took in the state fair and then came to Omaha to buy their fall goods. 8ome of the Jobbing houses were so crowded with country merchants they had to abandon all other business and devote the entire attention of the employes to looking after this trade. Borne of these came to avoid the rush of Ak-Sar-Ren week. REDICKS BEG1N TO FIGHT Jadae and Brother Appear In Police Conrt Without Walling to Be ttrvrd. Judge William A.
