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. Mr. Hartman opened his first west

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

All are cordially Invited to come and ac

this popular hotel and cafe. Flowers will
be In abundance. Good music. Punch

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

of the cuisine Is too well known to need
mention. Meals will be served to those
who desire during the opening.

MAYOR BACKS UP ON CAS JOKE
Oar Jim Admits Hii Scheme of Acqui

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.
