lying at Bt. Joseph's hospital. Is willing- to
come to Colorado to he "Identified" as one
of the robbers who tried to rob the Brigh

whether he will require requisition papers.
Chief Donahue wired Hackley to cotne

Preston has maintained his silence regarding-
the mystterlons way In which he re
ceived his three bullet wounds. But he
balks at going to Colorado without requisi
tion papers., , .
"I am innocent tfthat crime," he told
Chief Donahue, "but if the rest of the cltl
sens are as wild as that sheriff they would
hang me anyway. 'Besides there Is a re
ward of $1,604 for the capture of the robber
who shot Night Marshal Ellis In Brighton,
and it they clnchod me for that crime. In

Still Another Power Canal.
OMAHA. March 2.-To the Editor of The
Bee: 1 1 see that the cltlsens of Omaha are
again discussing the Columbus-Loup river
water power scheme. About fourteen years
go, while working at Columbus to protect
the ounty Iron bridge at that point, the
main Platte river was dry and there was
not enough water In the Loup river to cut
much figure In supplying a power plant for
Omaha, after being sifted thrown the sands
of the Platte river to this. Then again, a
few years ago there waa great excitement
got up about establishing a wonderful power
plant at Kearney, Neb. The town was
boosted up very rapidly, but went down a
good deal more rapidly when It was found
that there waa not sufficient water to run
the plant.
A year' or two ago X tailed attention.
through the Omaha papers, to the fact that
one of the best water powers of the coun
try could be established at Florence, Neb.,
virtually Omaha Itself, at a very reasonable
cost, where, I think, about forts? or fifty
fall could be obtained by running a race
from Decatur, Neb., to Florence. "This race
could be started at about the same depth
as the main river and run at A bearing
to a point of fall at Florence. Of course.
this race would come out onto the surface
of the ground, at about the center between
the two points, and would have to be. levied
up on each side some distance above that
point, and also below to Florence. It could
be run along the edge of,, the bluff or
benohes, so as to get the proper fall at
Florence. Tills Is a matter for engineers
to determine, on the best plati of doing this
work, but It Is entirely feasible and prac
tical.
The two great drawbacks In the minds of
engineers Is the damming of the'Mlssourl
river' at the starting point and also holding
the banks as well as the bed 'of the canal
In order to give Jt a good, safe starting.
This can all be done with my new Im
proved system, with but very few rocks,
and also a few sheet piling. Captain
Schults Is now, on the part of the govern
ment, examining Into this new theory of
mine and it is tnort likely that there will
be a certain portion of the present river
appropriation applied to a thorough test of
this new system for managing rivers, and
there Is no doubt In my mind thet this new
system will make It possible for Uie farm
ers to protect their farms, drain the river
bottoms and deepen all rivers suitable for
navigation, putting deep, navigable waters
to the sea and establishing power plants on
all the rivers of the country to supply the
country with power, heat and light.
I want to say one thins concerning the
advantage such a water power would bo to
Omaha. A large pipe or water main could
be run from this race to any point In
Omaha, where a large body of water could
be retained A standplpe with one pump
to keep it full from this reservoir would
give perfect safety for the highest building
ana on the highest grounds In Omaha.

Why Diamond Prices Do Not Fall.
OMAHA, March 21. To the Editor of
The Bee: During the last few weeks many
malicious reports have been olrculated
about "cheaper diamonds." I desire to
state that these reports have absolutely
no foundation and have been a most.un
Just attack against the Jewelry trade every
where. The De Beers and Premier Mining
companies are not alone maintaining prices,
but they are also limiting the output.
Prices cannot fall, for the De Beers Mining
company has now reached a level of 4,000
feet below the surface, and as the laborers
can only remain a few hours at a time
In these hot mines, this means that mining
is more difficult and expensive. The fur
ther down the mine the poorer material
found and the decrease of high-grado ma.
terlal tends to raise the price.
ALBERT EDHOLM.
As to the Mecca of Art.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., March M.-To
the Editor of The Bee: If there Is in your
editorial of Monday an Implication .that no
one Is able to answer the question, will
you permit one subscriber to say that. In
his opinion, this money should be sent
across the ocean to buy the proposed
statue, because It ought to be truly a work
of art, and among those . competent to
Judge It Is severely questioned whether we
have In this country, since the death of
Mr. St. Gaudens, a sculptor competent to
do the work. Art knows no political lines
and should know none. Why should It bt)
thought any more reprehensible to send
abroad for a worthy statue for the high
school grounds In Omaha or the capltol
grounds In Lincoln than to send abroad
for the many beautiful statues that not
only adorn, but glorify the congressional
library at Washington? Of course. If our
people prefer American art they can be
easily accommodated right In Statuary hall
of the national capltol, otherwise, known
as the "Chamber of Horrors." The meoca
of all would-be musicians today Is Berlin
or Vienna, of painters Parts or Rome. Are
these artists all mistaken? Lot us be a
little modest. Let us Americans not yet
claim art as ours. One day perhaps, but
not now. Our fathers made life In this
continent possible. We have made It. com
fortable. Perhaps our children may make
It beautiful. , L. A. A
FIRE NEAR RIVERVIEW PARK
Flames Started by Boys Reach

Fire, started by small boys in the brush
south of RJvervtew park, burned to the
street which marks the south and western
boundary of ' the park, destroyed three
stacks of bay , and a, pile of cordwood,
burned over four acres of lnd and aroused
the animals In the cages In the park to
i frrnxy. The alarm was turned In about
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and four
companies were called out before the
flames could be subdued.
All the wild animals of Omaha's soo are
kept In Rlverview park, the cages In which
the bears, wolves, coyotes nd foxes are
kept being iiullt Into the bank at the west
ern edge of the park under the street. The
fire burned to this street and the dense
smoke, swooping and settling; down in the
ravine, set the animals crasy, and t times
the growls of the bears and the sharp
yelps of the coyot could be heard above
the crackling of the flames. The buffalo
were farther over In the park and did not
seem to mind the smoke of the fire.
The fire started on .Tenth street near
Canton street and, carried by the atrong
wind, soon threatened the park. The fire

OMAHA GETS LARGER HELD

chances on the Ifew
Lines.
Mayor Sears of Sioux City, prominent
citizens of La Mars, Des Moines, Atlantic
and several otber western Iowa cities called
up Omaha Wednesday afternoon to try the
newly connected Long; Distance Telephone
company's wires, and they found perfect
metallic connections. Wednesday the con
nections were completed by which the Inde
pendent Telephone company of Omaha may
now connect with all of western Iowa and
the service was given a severe test and
found most satisfactory.
Charles O. Cocfcertll, president of the
Long Distance Independent Telephone com
pany; C. H. Smith, secretary; M. M. Head,
treasurer, and C. C. Deerlng, general man
ager, were In Omaha to be present at the
opening of the new connection, which put
Omaha In immediate touch with 286,000 In
dependent telephones. The company has
connections with the Nebraska Independent
lines, but Is not advertising the fact until
additional lines are installed, that all the
business may be cared for. It Is thought
this will be done about June L
The home of the long distance company
Is the second story of the branch house of
the Independent Telephone company. Twen
ty-fourth and Cuming streets, and here
long distance girls will ,be added as fast
as necessary to handle fJie business. The
local company has 900 'phones working
through that substation and 2,200 through
the main office, making 8,100 in all, and
although 8,000 Is the number set by the com
pany to have Installed before a chnrgn Is
made, the company does not propose to
charge for local service until May 1. A
Charge Is made for long distance service.
The local company Is connected with Iowa
through the Council Bluffs office and a
cable carrying fifty pairs of wires Is carried
across the Douglas street bridge, as well
as twenty-five pairs of overhead wires,
giving a double service to provide against
accident.
Distinct from Local Company.
The long distance company is a separate
corporation - from the local company and
deals In nothing but long distance service
and the same offioers handle the business
at Omaha as are In charge at Sioux City.
Mr. Dcerlng has arrived from 81oux City
to become general manager of the new com
pany and will reside In Omaha,
"We are better acquainted In Iowa than
In Nebraska, but hope to become acquainted
In this state," said President Cockerlll.
"Iowa has long been clamoring for this
connection with Omaha and everywhere I
went In Iowa the people wanted to know
when we would have our Omaha connec
tion completed. It will mean a great thing
for Omaha merchants from a business
standpoint, for Omaha is now connected
with all the small towns of western Iowa,
as well as the larger cities of the state.
I think it will be but a short time until
Omaha merchants will be getting long dis
tance calls from these towns for all kinds
of goods. The advantages of being con
nected with the large Independent telephone
systems of Iowa, which waa formerly held
by Dos Moines, .Council Slulfs, Sioux City
and St. Joseph, will now be Omaha's, as
well. The company has spared no expense
to make the service as perfect as modern
sclonce can make . It, and many wilt be
surprised when they try to talk over the
new copper wires."
Manager Mathews of the local Independ
ent Telephone company was enthusiastic
over the " connection between the Omaha
company and the Iowa lines. Long distance
service Is secret, the same as In the olty,
and the operators are only to assist In
making the connections.

OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
President Wadsworth of Bellevae Col
lege Speaks Seniors Will
Have an Annaal.
The senior class of the high school was
addressed by President Ouy L. Wadsworth
of Bellevue college Wednesday forenoon.
The theme of the talk was "Ideal Leader
ship," and President Wadsworth urged the
Importance of a college education to all
who would make the most of their lives,
both for their own and for the world's
good. He said that 4.810 out of the 7,000
prominent men of America mentioned In
"Who's Who" are college graduates and
that a higher education, with honesty.
courage and kindness, Is the basis of Ideal
leadership.
The Dullevue college quartet was preserlt
and sang a number of songs that were
exceptionally well received by the stu
dents.
After school on Wednesday a senior class
meeting waa held. Principal Waterhouse
announced that, beginning with this year,
candidates for graduation In any year will
be excused from taking the final exam
inations in that year if their mid-term
averages are SO per cent or above, and if
they maintain such a mark from that time
until commencement. He also stated that
hereafter graduates of the Omaha High
school will not be recommended to col
leges as having done satisfactory work
In a subject unless they have received a
grade of 85 per cent in that subject, These
rules, which were recently made by. the
faculty, rals the standard of "satisfactory"
work considerably.
The seniors definitely decided to have
year book, which will constitute . one
of the Issues of the Register, the school
publication, and will contain pictures and
"wiiteups" of the graduates. The ex
pense of issuing the book is to be partly
paid out of a fund to be raised for the
purpose by th6 class, the Register stand
ing the rest of the cost This plan of pay
ing for the annual publication has been
adopted on account of strong faculty oppo
sition to the former method, which was
believed to overtax the pocket book of the
students and their parents.
The German society held Its regular bi
monthly meeting Wednesday afternoon and
had a creditable program, in charge of Miss
Boven, whose pupils participated.

SIX THOUSAND .AT KERN'S
Men, Women aat j Children Attend
Bla; Millinery Opening of
" Poanlas Street Store.
Despite the exceedingly high wind and
the dust of Tuesday, nearly 4.000 persons,
men, women and children, attended the mil
linery opening at Kern's, 1S08 Douglas
street, yesterday. Mr. Kern provided t.OPO
souvenirs for callers on opening day and
practically all were glvan away, one to a
person. The souvenirs consisted of small
American flags for the women and chil
dren, and American nags tied In bow for
the men. One thousand of the latter were
given away, Mr. Kem always entertaining
a number of men visitors on his opening
days, the sterner; sex seemingly delighting
In looking over the works of art designed
for feminine wear.
Aside from the pretty hats, which In
themselves are beautiful decorations, the
millinery store was enlivened with palms,
potted and cut flowers and vines, and pre
sented a pleasing appearance to the eye.
The windows were especially attractive,
roofed with Vines and roses, the "creations"
for the season being displayed beneath.
This was the tenth annual opening at the
Kern store, and surpassed all previous
openings both In point of attendance and
In decorations and in hats shown. Many
customers from . western nearby states,
where the store enjoys a large trade, were
present.
Naturally, the season's popular hat, the
"Merry Widow Sailor," was very much In
evidence, the wide brims taking the
women's eye, the women folk seemingly
forgetting that a wind like that of Tues
day would soon plsy havoc wtth the kite
shaped affairs. The "Merry Widows" were
shown In all shades and mode of decora
tion,' but all In the same rlto huge hats
with brims nearly a foot wide.
"Visit an Omaha millinery store, If you
want to se all that Is beautiful," says
Mr. Kern, "not only In pretty hats, but In
prety women, I mean. I have but recently
returned from a visit to New York, Boston,
Washington and other eastern cities, but I
want to say that Omaha has the prettiest
women, and more prettily gowned and
hatted women than the society centers of
the effete east." '
Mr. Kern says that they always try to
fit their hats to the face and personality,
not the gowns. In this agreeing with the de
cree of the millinery convention In Chicago
of a couple of weeks ago.
Music was furnished at the opening by
the Legrotta harp orchestra, and the thirty
five employes of the store were kept more
than busy waiting on the customers.
MARVELS OF INDIAN MAGICIANS
American Fakirs Several League Be
hind the Masters of tho
Baslness.
Tho American fakir Is probably unaware
that he can trace his ancestry to a more
ancient source than any royal family of
Europe or the Orient. Though the diction
aries derive our word "fakir" from the
Anglo-Saxon, and regard our faklrdom as
entirely Independent ( of the ancient Asian
Institution, Dr. Richard Schmidt considers
the European and American fakir as
merely a degenerate product of the Indian
fakir.
In a volume entitled "Fakirs and Faklr
dom In Ancient and Modern India," Dr.
Schmidt, an eminent Oerman authority on
East Indian subjects, makes an exhaustive
sclentlflo study of the marvelous feats of
the various religious orders and ascetics
and mendicants In that country. For the
fakir has Tor 'many centuries played a
prominent role"tn the Indian religion. Dr.
Schmidt has'- earefully' collected his data
from the most Tellable native and Euro
pean sources. ''His book Is based chiefly
upon the- researches of Prof. Ernst Kuhn
of Munich and Prof. Richard Oarbe of
Tubingen. By adding to these his own
Investigations, he has succeeded in giving
a trustworthy 'account of the wonderful
practices of these "holy men" of the In
dian religion, or "yogis," as they are called.
A former French chief Justice In Chan
dernagore, Jacolllot, gives an account of
several curious performances that were
displayed for his benefit by a yogi named
Oovinda-Swaml on the terrace of his own
house. Being by no means credulous, Ja
colllot took every precaution to prevent de
ception. Fine sand was strewn on the
ground in order to make as even a sur
face as possible. Jacolllot waa asked to
seat himself at a table upon which were
a pencil and paper. The fakir carefully
laid a piece of wood upon the sand and
announced that whatever figures Jacolllot
might draw on the paper the piece of wood
would transcribe precisely upon the sand.
The yogi stretched out his hand and the
wooden piece Immediately copied upon the
sand the most ' complicated and twisted
figures that Jacolllot drew. When the
Frenchman stopped writing the piece of
wood also came to a standstill. The fakir
stood at a distance, against a wall, while
Jacolllot held the paper and pencil in such
a way that the Indian could not possibly

CAVE OF BOYS IS SPOTTED
Hole in the Ground Located by Fro-
bation Officer.
YOUNGSTEES AEE NOT PEESENT
Official Certain They De Not Study
Sabbath School Lessons There
and Will Try to Catch
ls Them.
Possessed of the Huckleberry Finn and
Tom Sawyer spirit of adventure, youths on
West Maple street hsve dug- a large cave
on a vacant lot and are there holding
nightly meetings, but in associations which
the probation officers believe not the best.
Officer Carver discovered the cave Tues
day and will make a more thorough ex
ploration and If possible capture the youth
ful denlsens of the hole.
The cave is at Thirty-third and West
Maple streets and is dug straight down
Into the ground, a ladder being the means
of access. The hole is covered over com
pletely, the roof being sodded down. The
plank trap door waa covered with earth
and It was with difficulty that the officer
found the entrance. In the cave he found
table., couple of chairs, couch and a
stove The stove pipe protruding from tho
earth In the center of the vacant lot gave
the officer the cue that there might be a
cave there.
On the table Officer Carver found a
couple of packs of plsylng cards and some
dice cubes, and on this he bases his belief
that the boys do not meet there to study
their Sabbath school lessons. Parents In
the neighborhood report their boys soma
nights do not get home until 12 or 1 o'clock,
and on account of this staying out late
the attention of the probation office was
called to the fact that there was some
undue attraction on West Munle street.
Officer Carver expects to pay a clan
destine visit to the cave some night and

KENTUCKY STYLE OF GREETING
An Girhssge of Coarte.les In Which
the Deadly Hip Pocket
Figured.
Hip pockets must go. The habit of carry
ing concealed and deadly weapons has been
often, and Justly, condemned. But when a
gentleman in a weapon-bearing community
goes about with empty pockets concealed
under his coattalls and In other suspicious
places he dallies with death by giving
provocation without being able to defend
himself. The gestures of the man with
pockets in his clothes are too often mis
taken and quits frequently he runs up an
embalmer's bill for the family before liis
armed vls-s-vls finds out that he has erred
in interpreting a movement of the pistol
hand.
In a mountain town In Kentuc ky the cth-r
day a peace officer, who, according to the
correspondent, "had borne sn excellent rep
utation as an efficient officer and a quiet
and peaceable man," fell a-gosslping with a
merchant with whom he had had the mis
fortune to offend in some minor matter a
long time ago, but with whom he had sus
tained diplomatic relations for the lant half
doten years. It chanced that the convera-

Even in its early stages Catarrh Is a most distressing a-ilme.nt, caused by
the stuffy feeling in the head, ringing noises in the ears, watery eyes, difficult
breathing, continual "hawking and spitting' etc., but when the ilood becomes
thoroughly saturated with the impurities which produce tha disease it became
a serious and often dangerous disorder. Then the bronchial tub? are attacked,
the bladder and kidneys diseased, and often the lungs become l.ifiected by tha
constant passage of impure blood through them and Catarrh! terminates ltt
Consumption. The impurities and poisons in the blood which oroduce Catarrh
can never be removed through the use of sprays, inhalatiot u, washes, etc.
Such treatment cannot reach the real cause, and their ue alo ie ehould never
be depended on to cure the disease. S. S. S. cures Catarrh 1 y cleansing the
blood of all impure catarrhal matter. It goes down and attach s the disease at

tlon took place about the hour at which
the merchant was accustomed to shut u(
his place of business. Absent-mindedly, Mid
without explaining to the peace officer thai
he was reaching for his store key, the mer
chant moved his right hand In the direction
of his hip pocket. The quiet and peaceable,
but efficient, officer shot th. merchsnt
before the fingers of the latter had corns
Into contact with the store key, and, see
ing how matters stood, the merohant aban- .
doned the quest of the store key, snd,
drawing from his pocket a trustworthy re
volver, made the retort courteous which th.
occasion seemed to warrant. Each man
proved the quality of his courage and h's ' ,
marksmanship at the sacrifice of th. life
of the other. There was no criminal in
tention upon the part of the efficient of
fleer, nor did the merchant dream of strife
when he reached for the storo key.
No one who believes that there exists a
glorious hereafter for warriors whoss souls
escape through the wounds in their breasts
ran question th. prophecy that these two
fearless and blameless gentlemen hsve era
now met In Valhalla, exchanged congratu
lations and become united as brothers, or
thst through aeons and aeons their mutual
regard will make them as Damon and
Pythias, David and Jonathan or Alphonse
and Gaston In their unselfish mutual love.
But If the peace officer had worn his artil
lery at his belt and the merchant had not
worn the store key upon his hip the; .
lamentable misunderstanding and the rWJfHV
sultant spilling of blood pt two lnocT
men would never have occurred. Loalsvlll.
