I H DOW ST. PAUL REPAID OMAHA Fouled Gate City at Seattle After Tak ing Its Help for Ehrineri. PEDDLED FALSE REPORTS TO WIN Omaha Knale EIhl-KI Per tent of Vol at Seattle WHhooi Ibf Jllnneaota Tonu'i Ballot. The unfair and raise report circulated by 8(. Paul Kagles at Seattle In their rain effort to debare and defeat Omaha In Its contest for the national acrle for 109. have been the source of ar.ias-ment and resentment In thla city; amazement because Omaha stood ao strongly by St. Paul In Its campaign to land the Shrlncrs and resentment because the Minnesota town sought to befoul Omaha with falae nd malicious reports, rather than make , clean, honest fight at Brattle. "I have It from the assistant to the president of the Eagles that Omaha re ceived K V" r'nt of the votes cat." ssld Commlsaloner J. M. Guild of tha Commer cial club. "I do not know what fit. -Paul hopes to gain by iuch work aa try ing to show Omaha to be composed of a lawless element." florae of the members of Tangier Temple, .'obas of tha Mystlo Shrine, are disguested thai Bt. Paul should return auch under-tia-flded work for the boosting which Omaha Bhrlners did at several Imperial councils to secure a national meeting of the Ehrlnera at St. Paul. "I will never forget tho way the Omahan worked for' St. Paul at Niagara Falls In 1K6." nald a Shrlner. "Bt. Paul was a randldate for the meeting and Omaha the chief supporter. St. Paul lost the meeting because Minneapolis Shrlners voted against the alster city, and St. Paul lost by just the number of votes which Minneapolis was entitled to In the Imperial council, f am told that Omahans helped St. Paul get the meeting at Loa Angeles, or, at least, Omahans did not oppose the meeting going there thla year. Then they turned In to assist In giving St. Paul Shrlnara a good crowd. They took a special train to go to lha meeting and their patrol arranged to do everything possible in the way of fur nishing drills and making the parades a uccess. Omaha Geta Haw Ileal. "But when It cams to St. Paul doing things, the Omaha patrol has never been treated as shabbily at a national meeting as In St.. Paul. Tha doors ware closed gainst tha patrol until tho meeting rooma Vere filed and then Omaha was graciously allowed to put its patrol In the third gal lery, t where It was boiling hot. Wi got shabby treatment In St. Paul when we went there, the worst I ever saw. It was due to the fact that the St. Paul people don't know how to hnndle a big convention. The Shrine meeting was largely a failure. because It went to St. Paul but we did not like to kick." Four Eagles were In Omaha from Michi gan Baturlay. They were returning from Seattle. Their joint card aaid, "Four Michigan Beauties," and gave the names aa Qeorge H. McKlnley, Flint: J. A. Nor wood, Mount Clemens; John Cross, Jack aon, and Edward B. Gibbons. Detroit. They were entertained by John H. Tuthlll ' while In the city. They were among those who assisted In bringing the convention to Omaha. Mr. Gibbons said: "We were glad to see you get the con vention, as were almost all the grand of ficers. ' We have seventy-five aeries In Michigan and half of them will send march ing club to Omaha. That la the way we feel aboat Omaha, and we can see no rea son for - Bt. Paul making the campaign which was made at Seattle against thla city." THRILLS IN THE BALL GAME 'A Vimr that Caased at Spectator to Fall OS m Roof and Lead oa Hla Head. ' Of all the forme of public entertain ment bare ball seems to be the one that thrills Its devotees to the core at every performance. The circus oomea to town and auffera by .comparison with Ita percuraora, - the billboard. The art ex hibition brings down crltlcfsm upon the heads of the . contributors of picture. Half of the audience Is . bored at the opera. The drama attracts to the thea ter Its thousands', but most of them go In a frame of mind antagonistic to the playwright and. the cast. . Atl of them are quick to jeer and alow to gurgle with enjoyment of comedy or to clap their ap preciation of the climaxes In melodrama or tragedy. Hut the base ball "fan" Is a self-forgetting worshiper of the game he patronises. During the game be Is translated Into a land of giants and 'heroes and demigods, revolving around an umpire Who is either a beneficent being an Incarnation of the square deal or a creature devoid of a' sense of justice. The baae ball' enthusiast admires and condemns vividly. If he finds fault at the top of hla lungs he records hie ap proval with equal vim. During moments of excitement resultant upon worthy achievement upon the diamond-he la in a delirium of ecstacy, when he la ob livious of all events of the future and the past and hla present surroundings. A dispatch from Chicago Illustrates the point. William Hudson was standing . near the edge of the roof upon a three story building. He was absorbed in the battle between the Chicago and New York National league teams. In the fifth In ning Tinker of the Chicago team batted a ball far into center field. In his ex citement Hudson ran forward, yelling like a Comanche. Forgetting that he was not upon terra flrma, he stepped off Into the 'r aa the great Tinker neared the home plate, completing the circuit of the basea. , A mighty roar went up from the multitude of those who had paid admls slon to the game aa the hapless Hudson .hurled through space and landed upon hla head. He wa scarrled away upon a stretcher. What would not the greatest of our actors give in exchange for power to com pel such a tribute from an auditor? Or our opera singers or players of Instru ments? Should we censure the office boy who is derelict In his duty and lack lnc In veracity during the base ball sea son?

If he's got the pork pie privilege some where along the route of the lord mayor's parade and wants to get a break In case It drizzles, on the day of the parade and Bogs up his pies, he midges along to Lloyds, tells them what alls him. and they hand him a ticket with the odda'agalnst rain scribbled down with a carpenter's pencil. We need the Lloyds cinching system over here, and It looks like we're going to get It, for they're not only LJoydsIng against the Bryan burn-up now, but some of .them are buying Lloyds tickets against the black handers. If they work It right this Lloyds thing will soon make the trad ing stamp gag look like something that rolled under the eavesJust before a cloud burst.

From Nineteenth to Twentieth on Doug Is s street, the Board of Governors of Ak-8ar-Ben. will build big booths and finish them with . necessary decorations and lights for tr.e Dougls c-mnty fair on King's Hlghwf y t'lls fall, thus B,raMy In creasing the space for the fair and sav ing the agricultural society a considerable amount of money, ns the society has puld the expense of building the booths In the psst. s Plan of the society are to give the lurg- J ett county fair ever held in Doulaa county and pay the best premiums In view of th- National Corn exposition to be held In Omaha, which will give special space to Douglas county exhibtla. The Idea of meet ing competitors at the National exposition will be the dominant note In all plans for the Douglas county fair this year and - a special effort made to get high class corn exhibits and pay premiums for them which will be equal to those i&ld at the slate and interstate fairs. The Douglas County Agricultural society offers 1W a premium for a twenty-ear assortment of corn. Tills amount will bs distributed pro rata among all exhibitors whose corn scores above 70 points. Prise for Moat Varieties. Another lalge premium will be paid to the exhibitor, wiio show the largest num ber of distinct varieties of corn, while the premiums for the precinct collections will be the largest . ever offered at a county fair. The National Corn show again figures In the plans for the exhibits from the precincts of Douglas county and $60) will be distributed among the winners. The Douglas County Fair association has a complete classification for entries, the same a the state faira and for the regular classes offers the same money that slate fairs offer. All exhibits which win premiums will be reserved and fro.ii tlie.-ie the society will make selections for the county exhibit at the national show in December. Some of the professional exhibitors have their collections ready to show at the 8tatu fair at Lincoln and will go there with exhibits of the same class, which will be shown later on the grounds of King Ak-Sar-Bcn, whore the DougUs county fair Is to be held. The agricultural society got much less money from the county this year than usual, the amount being proportioned un a smaller Vote than In other years. Tho Board of Governors cf Ak-Sar-Ben de clared they must have the fair if they had to pay the expenses and agreed to build the booths that the association might de vote Its means to making the fair a larger show than ever. FANCY PRICESFOR KISSES High and Low Standard Depend n the Whims of Jorlea. Has Dr. Hamilton Flake Blggar of Chi cago ralaed or lowered the standard price of a kiss? Is $100 a proper osculatory valu ation? Is he a union or nonunion kisser? These aro questions which Just now are vexing the human kissing bugs. Dr. Blggar's case Is unique. So far as Is known, he la tho first man who has publicly offered kisses for sale and his price Is certainly under that ordinarily placed on ttolen sweets by women. Women's Ideas of the value of kisses' (stolen or obtained by misrepresentation) vary grjatly as these cases, most of which hav) figured In the courts will show: Not long ago. Kate Hall, a pretty school teacher, walked Into the real estate offices of Townsend Smith In the Boyce building, Chicago. Mr. Smith and Miss Hall went to sechool together In a little old red school house. They got to talking over old school days, and then, she alleged, he kissed her. For that kiss she got a Judgment of $4,000. Sho declared the stolen Ulss was worth every penny of the amount and a lot more. Subsequently the Judgment was et aside. Mnry Clark lived In apartments on Oak Jey avenue. One day the Janitor lust Aiury. auks (.larx piaceu a valuation en that kiss of J40.0CO. But when the trial cam off the court had a different opinion and said the kia waa worth only $1. Chicago police court circles would charge Dr. Blggar with stock Inflation and over valuation. Three dollars have been known to .pay for a kiss and there have been in vtaSices where kisser and klaee have been told to go home and not be caught at it again. But In other circles klssese rate far above the Blggar kiss. Kisses have gone at premiums at charity halls. One North Side beauty Is said to have earned $700 for hospital fund through the sale of her kisses "And they were worth double." declared an enthusiastic subscriber who bought two. Mrs. !aura White of Central Valley, N. T.. put In a bid of $15.(0 for three kisses and u similar number of hugs alleged to have been stolen by former Fire Commis sioner John J. Scannel. The bill was ncvei receipted. A fair young woman of Ballston, Pa., demanded $5,000 for 1.234 kisses borrowed and accepted, but the bewhlskered Jury allowed her only $S,000.i or $2.42 per kiss. Mrs. Antonio Fllskow of New York City estimated the value of a kiss taken by Dr. Anthony Hoffman from her cheek at $.5,000 and another from her Hps at the same figure. The lowest on record for a kiss Is ( cents. swarded in Newark. N. J., to Mis Theresa Harvey, who asked for $30. But here It was proven thai she had forgiven the of fender, in 1900. Recorder Walcott of Little Falls. N. Y., fined a kiss pilferer. $300, but the county got the price of this luxury and not the maid. Mrs. Mary Rellly of New York City asked for $10,000 for one kiss and one hug stolen, she alleged by Samuel Nelson, a wealthy plumber. Mrs. Roe Wilson, the comely wife ul a New York bank clerk, got cent for a kiss plucked by her dentist. Dr. Adolph Stdn. Twelve-year-old Blossom Sijuirea of 8t. Louis we kissed by an elderly confectioner and the latter paid $ for not ilrst obtain ing her consent. In Jersey City.

BOLIVAR. RIVAL CF JUMBO Philadelphia' Monster Elephant and Man Killer Die a Prisoner at the Too. Bolivar, biggest of elephants, died In hi prison houe at the Philadelphia Zoologi cal Gardens. He never , had a rival In captivity except Jumbo, and Jumbo, while taller, was lighter than Bolivar. The Philadelphia monster weighed six tons. For twenty years the big fellow had been confined within a small inclosjre at the Zoo, and for twelve or f'fucn yrars he I ad . not te n allowed even to p;.si out of his cell Into the little artl. One foot shackled with a big chain, he stood there all day long, year after year, his huge bulk swaytcg from side to side, 1 l tlumsy feet s:ut fling slowly on the floor. ' He wss kept a prisoner because he wa. n't safe. He had a fairly mild eye, had Bolivar, but somewhere In the huge head was a "bad" streak. Twice during his carver, before he was chained up, that bod streak flared up Into vlclousnesB, nd he trampled the lives out of two men. No one knows how old Bolivar was. tTntll recently It was believed that he was 67 or 5S years old. When 'Adam Fcre naugb. the circus man. bought him thirty years -hro, he was told that the elephant Was i7 years old. But he may have txen any ago up to 100 years, which elephants sometimes attain. He died of old age, the animal doctors think. It Is a curious coincidence that the only man whom Bolivar acknowledged aa a real master Is lying prostrate In the Pres byterian hospital, battling with the white plague, a struggle that may have but one ending. That master was Eph Thomp son, a giant colored man, who was for many year the head elephant keerer for Adam Forepaugh. Bolivar, an Asiatic elephant, was bought by Adam Forepaugh in lti78. The rule among elephants is.. that the bigger the animal is the better Its temper. But Boli var was an exception to this rulo. It is certain that he had never killed any one before he came to America, for once an elephant kills a man he will kill another at the first opportunity offered. For an elephant who had not reached what Is known as the "musth" period, when he becomes dangerous, Bolivar had an unusually vicious temper. The vet eran showman' had him for nine years before he became murderous. In the spring of 1888 he killed a man who was tantalizing him with the lighted end of a cigar. Accustomed to stretching forth hi trunk to take peanuts and candy from persons visiting the circus, Bolivar touched the hot end of the cigar. Of course he refused a second 'proffer, and the unfortunate man, in hla eagerness to again burn the big fellow's trunk, ap proached too close. The curling tip of the great trunk seised him, and In an in stant later the mighty foot of Bolivar had crushed the man's head out of all human semblance. It was only question of time before he would claim another victim, and he did. Ordinarily, showmen regard death as the only safety from a "bad" elephant, and almost any other showman would have condemned him. But Adam Fore paugh was very proud of Bolivar and wanted him to be seen in real captivity, where his enormous and symmetrical pro portions might be viewed In safety by his townsmen of this city. Thereupon. Eph Thompson was put in charge. He had nothing to do but to watch Bolivar until the show returned to Philadelphia to Its winter quarters at tho eastern end of Lehigh avenue. Ar riving there, Forepaugh sent Bolivar in heavy chains to the Zoo, where he re mained a prisoner for twenty years. Bolivar was undoubtedly the largest and heaviest elephant ever seen outside of India or Slam. Jumbo exceeded him only In height over the front shoulders and head. He was higher across the rear quar ters than Jumbo. His body was at least a yard longer and a foot wider and deeper than Jumbo's. He was of the Asiatic species, with greater intelligence and brain of double the size of that of the African specie, to which Jumbo belonged. His head was very big and square. His ears were small and shapely and probably not more than one-third as large as Jumbo's, for the African elephant has enormous ears. Bolivar waa weighed In 1882 upon a railway scale and he balanced at 9,600 pounds. He was weighed again Just be fore he was brought to the Zoo, and had fretted away about 800 pounds. For two or three years after he came to tho Zoo he continued thin and scraggy, but In late years he took on vast weight, and as nearly aa might be estimated his weight a year ago was 12.000 pounds. Philadel phia North American. HARD LIFE 0NNEW YORK DOCKS "Is a Job Any -Good for the Health of a. Man If Ilia Wife i a Wldderf" At noon I had dinner with the foreman In a lunchroom. It wa shaped Ilk a tun nel and packed with burly dockers hard at work. Little was heard but the noises of eating. Having scalded my mouth by my first attempt on the soup, I stopped and looked about me. The same soup, amok Ing hot, was being gulped down like cool. pleasant water. And then the main dinner appeared. This consisted of plates piled nigh with beef and potatoes and cabbage, all of which was consumed In from five to ten minutes, together with coffee in huge thick bowls, even hotter than tht 8oup. Then out came the pipes. I watched them all with envy. "Seema like a healthy life," I remarked. "If a man can eat like this, and work forty houra at a atretch when he's a grand daddy, he musf have had a healthy Job to grow old on." The formean's Jaws was still working hard. But while he ate he stared at me. And then he leaned aolemnly forward. "Look here, young un, tell me this: Is a Job any good for the health of a man If his wife is a widder?" The answer to that was easy. "No," I replied, "It certainly is not." "Well.", he said, "that's what the mat ter with a good many boys on the docks. Their wives are always becoming widders, and I don't know anything that can annoy a man more." "I haven't seen any acriiients so far." "And you won't. Not at first. Because when a man gets took off from the docks, the rest of us don't wipe any eyes nor tear out any hair. Wa Just go on working, it's all In the game. But Jest you keep your eyea open." in the next week I talked with police men all up and down the river. There ia one stationed at every pier entrance; he must enter each ambulance case In his notebook; snd looking through these books, I found that each dock averaged one ac cident a week about fifty a year.

Blackburn and Mrs. Mullen of Des Moines Friday evening by Detectives Ring and Murphy the Omaha police department has a record of captur ing five principals In three elopements In the last three clays.

Detectives Ring and Murphy were sent out with the uggrlvvtd husband and after a few minutes search J. II. Blackburn and Mrs. Mullen w.rv brought to the police station. It develops that Blackburn deserted a wife and 7-year-old child for the charm of Mrs. Mullen, who deserted her huland and four children because of her affection for Blackburn.

On the other hand, Mrs. Mullen is equally de termined to stand or fall with Blackburn.

One sunny afternoon a stout man built on the order of a gorilla and looking not unlike that formidable beast entered the saloon In which Hogan held sway. The stout customer had all the marks of a prizefighter, and Hogan looked at him with much dislike. "Give me some whisky," said the stranger. "Will you take It now or wait till you get It?" asked Hogan offensively. "Don't get funny; give me the drink," said the man. "Show your money first,'' shouted Hogan. "Drink it yourself, you big loafer." said the man as ho left the place. Another stranger standing in the saloon said: "You took a Mg chance then. That man might have hit you.
