I Beveria Colombo went' on tho witness aland In criminal court Wednesday morn Ing to substantiate hla strange ploa that be killed tils friend, Joseph Fiorenza aa an act of mercy after ho had been accidentally wounded. Colombo almoKt broko down several times when he Waa describing tho Incident. He was c'Xtri.-mely nervous and sat bolt up right In the witness chair, shifting his eyes constantly, from, one part of the room to another, sometimes turning almost com pletely around In the chair to get a view of a remote corner of the room. , He was unable to speak a word of English and hla evidence had to be given through Sam uel Mancusco, acting as. Interpreter, v Colombo said after he and Fiorenza had bunted awhile they built a fire to warm themselves. Fiorenza, he said, went Into the weeds nearby while he held the gun. "Fiorenza was stooping over," he said, ''when he called to me and said he saw some birds and for me to shoot them. I took the gun up and It went off. I did not notice then that Fiorenza waa shot, but put In another shell. Then I saw Fior enza put hla hands to his face and I knew he was shot. He begged me to shoot him again to put him out of his misery and I did so and then, ran away. I did not touch hla body after I shot him." Colombo Imitated Florenza's death strug gle In a weird way while he was relating the story In Italian. Me aald he ran to Cut-Oft lake and there therew the rest of the shells In the water. Then he went home and went to bed. He admitted on cross-examination that he had told no one of the accident. He aald he was very badly acared. He also denied having any trouble with Fiorenza or robbing the body, declaring the , two were like brothers. , The 'defense also put 81 Clawson of Coun cil Bluffs, an 'old rive raftsman and pilot, on the. stand. He ran the river In 1804 and eleven years after, and the defense sought .to show the spot wher the shooting hap OMAHA MERCHANT SAYS IT TOUCHED THE RIGHT SPOT "I have been a great aufferer for many yeara past, with chronics catarrh of the stomach, says Mr. J.

LOCAL FACTOBY ARRANGES THEM M. K. amltk at Co. alrt and Overall C'enpern aa4 V. S. paly Company WsrrkssM Aroaao Admiration f Bnatneaa Mem. "It's really a greater Omaha than I thought It was!" One at a time more than 100 members of the Commercial club of Omaha dropped this verdict as the party walked over the seven acres In the warehouse and factory of M. T. Smith & Co., and through the long aisles In the warehouse of the United Statea Supply company yesterday after noon. It waa the first local "trade excursion" started under the banner of the new en tertainment committee, which Is "Know Omaha First." For some time It haa been the opinion of the officers and committeemen of the Commercial club that every business man of Omaha would be a good advertisement for the city either while entertaining cus tomers and friends In the city or while traveling In tb east and west, if he could Just be filled full of facts and pictures of Omaha Industrial life. E. A. Hlnrlchs, chairman of the committee having the ex cursions In charge, haa been of the opinion that Omaha business men are not doing enough boasting about the city and that the strange deficiency was due to the fact that In the days of stiff competition It was necessary to have a vast amount of in formation to be a successful boaster, espe cially, against some prize winners who travel out of Kansas City and Chicago. But Mr. Hlnrlchs, Commissioner Guild, President Tetter and Chairman Martin of the executive committee declared after the first local excursion that the problem had been solved and after three doses Omahans will be able to boast and boost then make good on all statements. Kxroraton Leaves on Time. The "train" which ran over the side walk on the south side of Farnam street pulled out of the Board of Trade building on schedule time, 1:30 p. m. Tuesday, as advertised on the billboards. The follow ing Wore the crew In charge: K. A. Hln rlchs, pilot; II. K. Rurket, engineer on the first division; , W. R. Wood second division; Albert Cahn, F. W. Judson and E. E. Brando, conductors, with E. T. Hey den as rear brakeman. The first stop waa at the fVont door of M. E. Smith & Co.'s. The "crowd" which greeted the excursionists at the big wholesale house consisted of Arthur C. Smith, head of the company, and "Joe" Kelly, the official lecturer for M. E. Smith & Co., who explained the anatomy of all machinery and made hundreds of In troductions. Mr. Smith led the way through the business office to the freight elevators, Where the guests were hoisted to the eighth floor, where the working clothes are stored. Everything on the double floor, 132x132, waa matte In Omaha ex cept some coats "lined with Russian wool," as Lecturer Kelly explained. Down the Iron stairways to othor floors the entire party was conducted by Mr. Smith to the factories, wnere the guests were shown where their shlrta come from. There It was demonstrated that the mod ern factory has never improved on mother's method of cutting out garments wnn a ' buzz-saw," aa ninety and 100 shlrta were "ripped" out at once. in the big work rooms the air waa so much better that it waa noticed by the guests. It aeemed to taste better than anything within seventy-five miles of South' Omaha and was being washed aa a big fan distributed It equally among the girls working at sewing machines, button-hole workers, and a variety of other machinea which worked like bicycle pumps, but made shirts. Yoaag Women at Machinea. Almost every machine was operated by a young woman, all of them dreesed neatly and comparing more than favorably with any equal number of young women In Onwiha, whether clerks, stenographers or waiteresses. They were all busy under the care of Mrs. Doebeck, who has perfected an . organization of faithful garment workera, which match any similar organi zation In the world. 'What does me good Is to see the girls want to work," said Mr. Smith. "A few months ago It waa hard to get girls, but when we put an advertisement In the papers now for girls, we get the appli cations. I hate to see a time when girls aon t want to work. It is a sign that the country has nervous prosperity. Things are normal now when a girl who wants work can get It and an employer who wants to hire a capable young woman can aecure her at good wages." One of the most difficult machinea in the big factory to handle waa a "cuff maker" and It was being operated by a young colored woman. whose trained fingers demonstrated that they were fitted for the work at hand. Through the long dining rooms, covered with white the party passed to the check ing and ahipplng rooms in the basement. Here were two novelties which members of the party will tell about for some time to come. The first waa a scheme to keep the stenographer'a work from becoming monotonous. The young women were seated on stands, which were run on tracks along the checking tablea. One minute a girl would be at the east end of the room writ ing a bill for a shipment of women's hose and a few minutes later aha would be at the extreme west end billing out some red calico for the Winnebago Indians. Another scheme waa to preserve the voices of several young boys and train them for the vested choirs. Instead of calling the numbers and towns, they chanted them In a light breesy way, not at all disagreeable. The singing youngsters also make It much eaaler on the nervea of tbe stenographers, who muat copy the bills and more than one buslneaa man threatened to hire a chorister aa aoon aa he could aecure the proper kind of a choir drum-major. What Impressed the business man moat oa the long trip through the warehouse and factory, waa the "modernneaa." From tbe overall atore rooms to the engine rooms, everything waa done In auch a manner that even tho gcnlus-atiicken in the party of vlsltora could not suggest Improvements, but many admitted they would return to their own placea of business and do things better.

DOES NOT PAY, SAYS WOODBURY Operating; Water Works la West Not Profitable, Asserts President of Local Corporation. Decidedly noncommittal and ambushing himself behind the statement that as yet he has not seen the 'decree of the court of appeala, Theodore C. Woodbury, presi dent of the Omaha Water company, atatea emphatically that he will not be Inter viewed and that he will aay nothing what ever about hia company or the decision of the court regarding- the appraisement of the plant and the city's move to buy It. Mr. Woodbury arrived Wedneaday morn ing from his home In New York and is stopping at the Omaha club, expecting to be here aeveral weeks. Asked If he considered the decree of the court of appeala made It mandatory upon the city to buy the water works plant whether or no, or whether It simply meant thst If the plant was purchased by the city the price should be the 16.263.296.49 agreed upon by the appraisers, Mr. Wood bury replied: "Well, what have we been fighting for the last five years if it waa not that we want to sell? "I did not say the plant pays a dividend. We got hold of it under the foreclosure of a mortgage and have wanted to get rid of it for yeara. It doesn't pay to oper ate a water works plant out here in this western country." Asked about the Water board and the reaaon for the exlatence of that body, Mr. Woodbury replied that In his opinion about all the members did waa to draw their aalariea every month and keep the ques tion of the purchase of the water plant In the courts for a number of years and pile up the costa for the city.

ERE we have a Puritan of the Puritans a man of stern and unbending rectitude of generous and truly heroic temperament ANNIVERSARY OF BLIZZARD Thirty-Five Years Ago Terrible Storm Struck the West. NEBRASKA AND KANSAS CENTER Never Equalled for Intensity and Scope of Its Disaster Wind, Sleet and Snow the Chief Klements. Wednesday, April 15, was the thirty-fifth anniversary of the big blizzard and aleet storm that struck the west with varied de grees of intensity, with Its center over southern Nebraska and northern central Kansas. The first twelve days of April qf 1873 were as mild and balmy as was ever known to any apring time. On the morning of the 13th a snow and sleet storm started which has never been equalled in intensity and disastrous results in the west. It prevailed for three days. In Nebraska the gale blew for two daya at a rate of sixty to eighty miles an hour and the snowfall was tre mendous. Grand Island was completely cut off from the world and at York the snow tall reached a depth of nearly five feet. Railroad traffic was suspended through out the entire west. Fortunately It waa not extremely cold, but the wind and anow were terrific. Cattle and aheep perished by thousands. In that early day no prep aration had, been nor could be made for the protection of live stock. Many lives were lost during the storm throughout Nebraska. Mostly Sleet in Kansas. In Kansas it assumed the nature of a sleet storrn and the deatructlon of live alock in that state far exceeded the loss In Nebraska. The country cast of "Wal lace, Kan., to the Missouri river was a veritable sea of Ice and sleet. Cattle were driven before the storm into draws and canons and perishod there In the floods of sleet and ice that awept down on them. A peculiarity of the atorm was that It spent Its entire' fury In the three days, April 13.

Tbe atorm had done tta work In the destruction of live stock and the farmera and homesteadera had left acarcely enough horses and cattle to do their farm work that had been interrupted by the storm. Little or no wheat was grown in the country at that time, and aa the storm had passed before corn planting time, the crops did not materially suffer. The following year, came the great grasshopper plague, and the pioneers had hardly recovered from the April storm of 1873, when they had to encounter the grasshoped disaster, which had had no equal In the farming history of the west.
