Chief of Police Donahue comes to the de
fense of Mayor Dahlman In the matter of
pardona Issued to George Cosea and E.
Martinet men convicted of vagrancy after
they had attempted to bent Frank Dlnuzxo
in a trade In Council Bluttavi CheAehln(
says:
"Mayor Dahlman was right in Issuing
this .pardon and didn't do It until after. I
had advised that course. In the first place,
the men . should never have been , arres'.ed
In Omaha. They had, committed no of
fense here and had done aU ' possible to
make good for the offense they committed
In Council Bluffs. v Dinuzzo received from
them afl of the money they were accused
of taking from him and In addition to that
the fees of his attorney were paid.
"The police department ' recognised the!
men as professionals and, for this reason:
they were picked up by a detective, who
held them until their pictures were taken
and descriptions seoured for further ref
erence. When they crossed the river they
had ' made all preparations 'to ' leave1 this
part of the country. They had bought
tickets and were waiting for the train when
picked up. After the pictures were taken
the ' detective told the police judge that
the police were -through with them and
It was understood that they would be given
an opportunity to leave town Immediately.
In place of this the prosecuting attorney
Insisted upon filing charges and they were
sent to Jail for thirty days for vagrancy.
A jail sentence would not convert them and
would only mean additional expense for the
county. For this reason I recommeded
their pardon and the mayor never acted
until after he had been shown that such
pardon was for the best Interests of the
community."
SUTTON, YEISEIT AND BENCH
Forsaer Derives Hope from Welch
Deelsloa and Latter Msr Get
After Jaakla.
Friends of Judge Sutton profess to see In
the decision of Judge Welch of! the district
court of Stanton county an opportunity for
the Douglas county candldato to get his
name on list of the democratic candldatea
for district judge. The Stanton county
judge held that where sufficient members
of a party voted for a man who had not
filed his Intention of becoming a candidate
In compliance with the pr'.mary law the
clerk whose duty It Is to 'prepare ballots
must place his name on ths ticket. -
Judge Sutton received a large number of
votes for the democrat lo nomination, but It
was held by the attorney general that ha
could not be considered at a democratic
candidate, although there were three va
cancies on the ticket. It Is suggested that
some democrat who voted for Judge But
ton's nomination might, through proper
proceedings, have his name placed on the
Official ballot.
Regarding the report from Lincoln that
he was still a democratic candidate far dis
trict judge, John O. Yeiser announces that
he will not be a democratic candidate un
less he Is slso a candidate on the repub
lican ticket. He aas he is still considering
the proposition of bringing suit to comped
the secretary of state to place his name on
the republican ticket, counting for him all
votes cast by members of all parties for
his nomination. He asserts that he wl'.l

The quality of usefulness is indeed supreme, since it is so planned as to quickly meet the needs of everyone the scholar, the professional or business man,
the teacher, and especially boys and girls at school. All educators agree that to help the young folks in their studies there is no work in the .world that at all
compares with The Century. This purpose, indeed was one of the prime objects of its preparation. ' . , ..
How ,
It Was
Built
Tlje Century is the work of experts throughout, each department being in charge of that scholar who was
lecogntzed as the first In his special field. The editorial chief was Professor William Dwlght Whitney, Ph. D.,
Lly. D., for forty years professor in Yale University and acknowledged in England and America as the highest
authority in the world on philology. The Century Is accurate and thorough to the last degree, and these qual
Wea are as manifest in tho placing of an accent as in the survey of a great science or In the history of a revolu
tion. It is equally full In every line, combining in the ten volumes all the advantages of dictionary, encyclo
pedia, atlas, historical hand-book, gazetteer, biographical dictionary, literary reference work and so on. It carefully corrects
the errors tf its predecessors, and each Item of knowledge is found under its own alphabetical heading not buried in a long
article. In Th. Century all fact-knowledge is at instant command.
There, were ninety-one editors of departments and important contributors, all men whose services com
manded the highest price. Beyond all doubt The Century staff constituted the largest and most expansive
body of editors and contributors ever employed on'any work of general reference. Besides this there were
hundreds of assistants and minor contributors and a small army of compositors and editor proofreaders. The
engravings were executed by the best artists that money could secure, and their work was reproduced for
The Century pages in the highest style of art.
Buying The Century has formerly. Jbeen a serious matter rich people took it quickly students went
without things to own it. Now all can have it by acting promptly, through the well-known Cosmopolitan
Magazine, which Is offering a limited number of sets in Omaha and vicinity as an inducement to secure
desirable subscribers. The Cosmopolitan obtained exclusive control of the entire edition for 1907 (the
largest ever prepared),. thus reducing t,he price for individual sets while the former high standard of me
chifnlcal excellence was carefully, maintained. Then,! all book agents' commissions were cut out and all
extras cut off, bringing down the price of the work tp. the' very lowest notch, making possible the following remarkable offer, the
sets available being of the very latest revised, enlarged and improved edition,, fully guaranteed by The Century Company.

Manager R. C. Howe of the Armour
Parking company has received word that
the giant grays, six In number, which are
to represent J. Ogden Armour at tlifc
Omaha Horse Bhow, will arrive In Omaha
Friday snd prepare for their exhibitions in
the arena next week. These horses are
fresh from England, where they were tont
to compete witii the king's own horss,
and so well did they perform that they
were avoided the b!w ribbon.
The Ijndon' Mail, tn speaking f the
horses, says:
The show was unique In the exhibition
of Mr. Armour's t-i:m o; six grays, urd
the driver, ihlly Wales, mad.- a very Amer
ican coup do theater. As be drove, into
the narrow ring lie saw the opportunity 'or

To the aulonlMinient of the judges Slid
spectators he iwunn the six-ton team with
the three and a half-ton wnpon behind
them, in a complete circle round the nar
row enclonure, and did the exiraonllnary
feut almofct by word of mouih. The cheer
ing was tremendous, and for ih ivst of tt-e
day the grays meru followed by thousands
cf the holiday makers as they were driven
about the park.
Another paper describes the grays In the
lar.auuSTM of a cackuer who saw them enter
the" ring and excla!m;d. "PUuiey ain't
ain't they 'ot."
;ig Jim, one of ths whctltis, is 'over

Frank J. Donahue, nephew of Chief of
1'olice J., J. Donahue of Omaha, ind pro
prietor o'f the West hotel at Bioux City,
la., almunt missed out on attending the
opening- of the Rome hotel Thursday even
ing, a'l becmse ot a little rlng-tallej
monkey from the wilds of President
Cuetro's leptiblle, which held up the hotel
Wednesday evening.
This bandit monk touk possession of
the West hotel news stand, hurled a glass
uf water at tho '.iead clork, scared the
fueits out of tho lobby, tcaitered plug to
bacco in every direction, then sat down to
enjoy u game, of mill tali e with a pack cf
.cards which he found on the news Ma'id
shelf.
After capturing tho monkey Mr. fonahu
caught hi truin for Omaha nnd arrived
Thursday tj ttll the story of the holdup.
During the day the wife of a prominent
Kouih Dukota banker arrived at the hotel.
Mie had Just returned from a trip south
and with her luuch-labeird suit cases l.e
carried a imull cage containing diminu
tive monkey from the valleys of the
Amazon. The woman wanted to leave tne
monkey at the chock stand with her other
baggage. The boy In charge told the
woman that he was pot running a ksnnol
nor livery stable. - But the woman con
vinced the boy that the "little thing" w'M
harmless and he checked the monk.
Gathers Mischief la Sleep.
All morning the animal was qulot ani
slept soundly. But when the warm sun
crept In at the windows on the west dur
ing the afternoon the monk looked out
between the bars, picked a tormenting
hemlptera from under his arm and began
to notice things. He thought of his rela
tives In the tree tops of Venezuela and
became exuberantly active. Th monk
tried the door. It was Insecure, and in
a instant he was out In the room, a free
monk wi.h nothing to restrain him.
tilowjy he crept to the first shelf of the
news stand, where he saw a Klssa of
water. It as just what he needed In hi
business. Once his hands were on the
glass he knew he would bo able to hold up
the hotel. He hurled It at the clerk, tfno
screamed and threw down her novel. On
the shelf in front of her was the bandit
monk, pulling the cork from a bottle of
cough syrup. After taking a dose thi
bandit turned the syrup slowly on books
and magasines, while the woman yellod
for help.
Finishing the cough syrup, Copnao
Castro, which was the monkey's full
name. Jumped to a box of plug tub;co.
Hie guests gathered. By this time the
monkey saw he had more old navy tnan
ha could chew and began to scattir It
