Best 'Park Matter Xext Tuesday A meotlng of the, Park board has been called for Tuesdny, October 29. At this meeting the most Important matter to como up Is that of "rest parks."

SIR HORACE LAUDS OMAIIA Home Rule Tatriot Viewi Property Itere with Complacence. COMES TO LOOK AFTER REALTY If There Were Ireland, Says the Jevlal Statesman, Nebraska fcoall Certataly Re . Ills Home. Sir Horace Plunkett, one of the best friends Irish home rule ever had In the British Parliament, arrived In Omaha on the Overland Limited from the east Mon day morning to look after his extensive troperty Interests here. By 9 o'clock he was busy at his desk behind the ground glass door marked "Sir Horace Plunkett Private," at 1318 Dodge street. There he received a reporter for The Bee with true British warmth and a hearty Irish hand shake. Sir Horace Is a man good to look upon. He Is six feet tall and there Is the vigor of the out-of-door Englishman aboui him. His heavy Iron grey hair Is parted at the side. A full dark beard slightly tinged with grey covers his face. His complexion Is ruddy and healthy and his blue eyes twinkled as he talks. His words have a slight flavor of Irish, which makes It a 1 pleasure to hear them. "I have only just arrived," he snlj, "but from what I see ana hear, Omaha Is rising high on a wave of prosperity. And this Is doubly pleasing to such of us as put money Into property when the false boom was sending prices skyward back In the 80's. "I believe Omaha property Is a good thine; to hold at the present time. Business Is moving along beautifully and though so many house, have been built there are very few vacant ones. This shows that the population Is Increasing rapidly. Omaha Is going to exceed the expectations of her fondest optimists. Delias, ted with America. "I am delighted with America en this trip as never before and that Is saying a good deal I assure you. If there were no Ireland I should certainly choose Nebraska as a home. I think you have more Irish men In America than we have on the old soil and they form a' strong element of your cosmopolitan population. "The attitude of Englishmen ' toward Americans now Is, of course, friendly. The days of bombast and of 111 feeling are past. We are all of the same race and we have the same Interests. The eastern question which Is looming on the horlson draws us still closer Into fellowship. Blood, you know. Is thicker than water. Never was a truer proverb coined." The reporter at this point mentioned the mooted question of the proper manner In which to salute a gentleman of the peer age. He mentioned the blunder made dur ing one of the previous visits of Sir Horace to Omaha when some well-meaning but mis guided person addressed him as "Sir Plunkett." Sir Horace laughed heartily. ("area Nothing; for Title. "The proper greeting, of course, . Is 'Sir Horace,' " tie said, "but personally I much prefer to be addressed merely as Mr. Plunkett. There Is, perhaps, a certain recognition due to the forms handed down from past ages when our forefathers earned titles and wore them as marks of their deeds. It Is human nature to love the title. I believe It Is Mark Twain who said that of the 1,500 colonels and generals alive at the close of the Civil war there are now only 15,000 surviving.". Which 'alter remark proves ', that Sir Horace, though an Kngllshman, has as keen an appreciation for a joke as any one. Of course, It Is true, he's an Irishman, and so maybe there may be something In the discredited Urltish sense of humor after all. Sir Horace will be In Omaha the greater part of a month looking after his ex tensive property Interests, which are In the hands of Conrad Young. He will also go out to Wyoming, where he has a lafge acreage of farm land, Irrigated and un POLICE WANT MAIL ORDER MAM C. W. Williams Is oht by 4) ma hi Anthmrltles far Smooth WarW. The police are looking for a smooth In dividual who Is said to have cleaned up many hundred dollars In tho mall order business during Ak-Sar-Ben. The day the carnival started a young man of prepossessing appearance subrented room 04 n tha Douglas block. Sixteenth and Dedge streets. He subrented the room of Mrs. Black, who has adjoining rooms and was desirous of realizing a little ready cash out of Ak-Sar-Ben roomers. On the second day after his advent the young man, who said he was C. W. Wil liams, asked his landlady If she would kindly remove the bed from the room, as he needed more floor space. Thinking perhaps he wished to sublet floor space to sleepy carnival visitors, the accommodating landlady removed the bed and various other superfluous attachments, and then the young man moved In right. He brought j up a desk, great quantities of engraved stationery, envelopes, office chairs, type writer, a stenographer, with a high pompa- I dour, whom, Mrs. Black says, kept the keys of the machine clicking Incessently from early morn till dewy eve. Qreat sacks oT letter mall were carried to the poslofflce by special messengers. I Then all business ceased and for several days Mr. Williams was not among those i present. During his short absence the seed 1 he had sown on the previous days began I to bear fruit In the shape of letters con- ! lalnlng $2 remittances. I Mrs. Black says that after a wash tub full of letters had been delivered to hU room she began to get nervous and to wish that the fellow's rent was not paid in ad vance. On the fourth morning before night's candles had burned out and men had begun to frequent ths dark places Mr. Williams appeared at his office and lugged away his mall. That was the last seen or heard of him. But the mall continued to pour In find so did numerous Inquiries from credit men, banks and Anally from tho poitofflce. The latter took charge of the mall that had continued to pour In and It Is still being held at the postoffice. Detec tives laid In wait for many a day for Mr. Williams, but they waited In vain. Here is a sample, of the literature he sent to prospective patrons over the country: Are you earning 1100 or more each month? Why don't you earn the above amount each month? Why not place yourself in a posi tion to demand and get from 11,000 to 13,009 a year? Why do you pay a correspond ence school 136 for Us course when you can buy our plan for 2? Do you consider It worth while to spnd 12 In order to place rourself in a position to earn, perhaps, wlce as much each month as you are now earning? The demand for good stenog raphers is always greater than the supply, and the salary is from $15 to JoO a week. Court reporters earn' S2.0O0 per year; the reporter for the United States senate re ceives $26,000 a year for his services. Sub jects taught by (he Harlem Book company are civil service, electricity, architecture, journalism, bookkeeping, stenography, ad writing and lltawtratlng. Make yourself In dependent. Bee ad Harlam Book company. The police believe from the description cf Williams and from the methods he em ployed that he is the same person who Is wanted in various other parts of the country for working the same game. Country newspapers have received ad vertisements from this "firm," which were not always Inserted, because the cash did not accompany the "copy" and references failed to pan out. BABCOCK AND AGNEW ON TRIAL Pormer Government Commissioner for Federal Court. CASE OF CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD Mtlon for Separate Trials tensames Mnrh Time Before Jtiriae Tom C. l finger, Who Is Hearing the Affair. Judge Munger overruled the motion to quash the Indictments after hearing the arguments by the prosecution and defense. The defendant, Mr. Bsbcock, was not pres ent and the reading of the Indictment was postponed until this morning.

Mayor Jim Thlaka It Good, hot Doabta Ability to bVcnre Its En- i art meat. j "I am much Interested In a movement contemplated by Mayor W. Parker Lyon ! of Fresno, Cal. to make servant stealing a punishable offense," said Mayor Dahl man. "I would draft a similar ordinance In Omaha and present It to the city council at once If I thought It could be passed and made a law legally. But there's tha rub.' I'm afraid -H would not stand tha test. And when some citlsen was brought before the court on the heinous charge of having Induced his neighbor's Bridget to accept a position In bis own household, the lawyers ( .would And too many flaws In the ordinance. "There are lots of desirable laws which we cannot enact. I am aware that the very evil which this ordinance would over coma Is spoken of In tha Bible. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox. his ass, nor anything that Is thy neighbor's.' But how many of us are thera who obey tha In junctions contained In the good book?" And In this righteous frame of mind the mayor looked trustingly up at . the four portraits of William Jennings Bryan upon ( tne tour wans or nis omce. rna lour por traits aeemed to amlle at once, benignly, beneficently. Seemingly Inspired thereby, the mayor added: "If a man can't treat his servants well enough to keep them without a law, I ex pect ha deserves to lose them. Still. It would save a whole lot of meddling If ws could pass the ordlnsnoe. Maybe It can be done. We must watch what Mayor Lyon succeeds In doing." CARCASS CASE GOES HIGHER Itlght to Hani Dead Animals to Oe Appealed to Federal Court. - Defeated In district court In their flght for the right to remove dead animals In the city of Omaha the City Garbage com pany and Charles Danlela are seeking to remove the case to the federal court. Tho suit for Injunction brougtit by James Whelan to prevent their handling dead animals was decided In his favor. by Judge Sutton, who Issued an Injunction to pre vent tha City Garbage company from doing tha work. Judge Sutton held the ordinance under which Whelan was given the con tract by the city was good and his con tract was Valid. He held the owner of a dead animal had a property Interest In the animal until It became a nuisance, after which time the city could remove it. Be fore It became a nuisance the owner could remove It himself If he chose. After he had announced his decision and before he had signed the order of injunc tion the defendants filed a petition to re move tha case to federal court. Judge Sut ton refused to grant the order until after he had signed the order holding it would be against publlo policy to allow a litigant to remove the case after he had learned what tha decision of the court would be. Tho motion for an order for removal will be argued Wednesday mornlrg and will raise an interesting question of law. BODY FOUND IN CORN FIELD YoauaT Man Evidently Took His Owa Life with Two Revolver Shots. An unidentified dead man was found In a' corn 'field west of Swift and Company's pecking plant at South Omaha. Those who examined the body are of opinion It was a plain case of suicide by shooting. A wound by a revolver bullet was found exactly In the center of the forehead and the thirty-eight calibre revolver was found at his side. Two cartridges were found snapped and tho third one exploded, show ing the man had persisted in his de termination to end his life. He was about 25 years of age, of medium height with dark hair. He wore a corduroy working jacket, a double pair of overalls with tan socks. In his pockets a purse was found containing 15.62. A card from a banking Arm of Colorado was found attached In the cover of the purse, reading, "What this won't hold deposit in the Bank of Evans, Evans, Colorado." By his side was found his lunch pail and an unconsumed lunch. The body was found by Joseph ITchytll, Twenty-fifth and Y streets, who was out hutsking corn In the field.' It was much decomposed. Coroner Bralley happened to be In South Omaha and held ah Inquest at 1 p. m. He and the chief of police ; visited the field before the removal of the body to Brewer's undertaking parlors. The body will bo burled Tuesday. The man evidently was a laborer In one of tho packing houses. The Jury brought In a I verdict of finding a case of suicide. Coroner Bralley held an Inquest Monday over the body of lllja Matte, the Austrian laborer who was crushed under a dump car Friday evening at Kilpatrlck's grading camp on (he Lane cut-off. The jury brought In a verdict of death by accident and held no one responsible for tho acci dent. A I'nlon Pacltlc attorney was present. The company will bear the expense of the funeral, which is arranged for Tuesday.

Tha plaintiff Is only 20 years of ago and the suit was brought through his mother, Mrs. Christiana Braun. Last March young Braun went to Ittner as a laborer for the railroad. As the town conalsted only of a alation house, a pump house and a section house his choice of boarding places was limited to the culinary department of the camp. In his petition he says no provision was made for furnishing wholesome food; the provisions were not protected from the flies; there were no accomodations for washing the provisions and the dishes and consequently they were always dirty; the water was never boiled, but was allowed to stand near the barn and become stale. He says ha protested to Mr. Speaker, who was In charge of the camp and' the latter promised belter board, but lie de clares this promise was npt kept.

Rabeock. former I'nlted States commissioner, and John Agnew were placed on trial In the federal court Mon day morning on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government of public land and with subornation of perjury In inducing some women to mako fraudulent entries. This was the flist case called Ht the convening of tho fall term of tho V'nlted States court and tho case Is being heard by Judgo T. C. Munger. The present week will bo given over to the hearing of criminal cases and civil cases will be taken up next week. Captain Allen O. Flshpr of Chadron repre sent Mr. Babcock and Charles J. Greene of Omaha represents Mr. Agnew. Some time was consumed In arguing a motion that the defendants be given a separate trial, but this point was overruled by Judge Munger. The government Is represented by I'nlted States District Attorney Ooss and by Special Assistant Attorney General S. R. Rush. The Indictment alleges that Agnew se cured a number of persons to make fraudu lent entries and that Babcock wns the I'nlted States commissioner before whom the proofs were made and that he handled tho money. - Mr. Greene, In making his argument for a separate trial, maintained that In 19)1 Agnew sold his rnncli In Dawes county for a largi cash consideration, ond ita Is charged that In l'VO those young women entered the sections within the Agnew tract, and prior to that time Agnew had bought a ranch In Wyoming, where he has since lived. "The Inilli trhcr)t charges n conspiracy In August. lM, two years after Agnew had moved," argued Mr. Greene. "Ills Defense will bo as to what Is aliened to have oc curred In Inducing witnesses to go upon tho land and making entries which occurred a year before the conspiracy." Captain Flslier maintained the Indictment should ho quashed, because It aprenrs on lis f;ice It was not true that the land was vacant government lsrul, hecau'to it had been entered and conditionally sold by tho government for moro than a year bi fore the conspiracy Is charged. "It Is not alleged that tho overt act was In securing a clnlmiint." said Captain Fisher. "The form is also defective be cause the Indictment does not allege the defendants knew the statements sworn to were untrue."
