they heard Tueadav mornln when thrr
met at the Hotel Rome for the second day's
seasion. the topic for discussion being
"Plumbing Design."
"When I hesrd that wlna begin to blow
I thought I heard the telephone bells ring

said President Edward Quinn. "It looked
for a time as though we could adjourn to
some cellar and have sn Illustrated lecture

In Omaha can stand a more severe test
than the storm of this morning."

Delegates from Mobile, Houston and Pas
adena huddled together in one corner of
th convention hall and wanted to know if
this wss tbe kind of storm which hsd
scattered the "great plains" with bones.
One member from Atlanta, where the pos
sums come from, asked whst they called
It when the wind picked the snow off
tbe ground and whirled it over the city In
an earth sweeping cloud. He was told by
a westerner that auch gentle biecres had
put the infinitive "to blixsard" In the Eng
lish language, but civilisation hsd tempered
the climate and now such storms were sim
ply called "prairie squalls."
The first paper waa by Frank W. Tower
of Springfield, Mass.. on "Soil and Vent
Pipe Design." while Henry B. Davis of
Washington. D. C, read an address on
"Three-Inch Soil Pipe Slacks."
Other papers were by Charles M. MrHngh

tha members of the society. From seventy
five to 100 attended tbe session st the hotel
tn the morning.
The afternoon seasion was short snd was
also held at the hotel, adjourning at 1

subject for discussion and was participated
in by Harry W. McVea of Omaha, Frank

ostriches would be raised In Nebraska and
therefore wrote Mayor Dahlman and asked
him If there waa such an Industry here,
telling the mayor that she believed Hughes
"is stringing roe and has evil designs."
The mayor never heard of the ostrich
farm and agreed with tbe Atlanta woman
that the man Hughes was "stringing" her.
Fearing thst the woman would not wait
for a letter, but would come to Omaha
Immediately the mayor sent her a tele

GIRL AND SWEETHEART GONE
Rosa Mojaheed Is BelieTed ta Have

Grand Island.
One more girl has eloped. Rosa Moja
heed, a 14-year-old "yrian girl, left her
home Monday morning and la supposed
to be with George Simon, a young man
was with whom she has been associating.
Simon Is a roundhouse workman at
Grand Island and his parenta live at Lex

S years of age. The police have been fur
nished descriptions of both and have been
requested by the girl's parents to hold her
if site Is found.
At 8 o'clock Monday morning the girl
left her home at 1211 South Thirteenth
street, and Simon, who has been In Omaha
recently, is aaid to have met her later In
the morning. Since that time Omaha
friends of the Mojaheed family have seen
neither and sre inclined to the belief
that Rosa has been Induced to go with
her older ai-quaintance.
For a 14-year-nld miss she ia rather

COODELL JURY HARD TO GET
Eighteen Xea Pawed for Cne, with
Peremptory Challenge Due.
DOPE AND INSANITY FOR DEFENSE
la Addttloa ta labalaarea Mlad Ar
eased's Attaraeys Mill Argae
that Drags Made It tea Irre
peaalble at Times.
There is some prospect that the Jury
will be secured todsy which will try Van
Wilson Goodell for the murder of Edna
Kennctt. As matters stood at the adjourn
ment of the case yesterday afternoon, the
defense had used up twelve of its sixteen
premptory challenges and the state four of
Its six.
Eleven men have been passed for cause
who have not yet been challeneged and
some of these must of course be among
the doaen finally secured. The nerular
venire became used up during the after
noon and speclsl venire waa passed by
both sides. It is possible but by no meana
certain that the Jury will be aecured by
noon today.
In spite of the tact that the quizsing of
the petit Jurors is rather tedious, the trial
holds its interest and the court continues
to be filled with spectators. The same
questions aa on Monday were asked by the
attorneys on either side, the stste making
sure that no one will get on the Jury who
objects to capital punishment, and tbe de
fense Invariably asking if the venireman
has any prejudice against insanity as a
defense.
One Juryman from the country admitted
he had read about the murder.
"Its that case where the girl wss killed
on the rellrosd tracks at Florence, isn't
It?"
It was decided thst he had not formed
an opinion on the question of the slaying
of Miss Kennett.
The questions about capital punishment
recalled to mind the answer of a Juryman
in the Almack murder trial.
He Was Safe. All Right.
"Have you any prejudice against capital
punishment?" English had asked.
"Veil, I never had any of that business,"
was the answer to which the county at
torney replied, "Xo I gutsa not from the
looks of things."
It is now known that besides insanity
the defense will contend that Goodell was
Irresponsible through the use of drugs.
CHILD CONSOLES HErTmOTHER
Little Girl TestlSes an One side and

Trial.
Mother and daughter against father and
aon ia the alignment in the bitterly ton
tested suit for divorce brought by Mrs.
Bertha Ulnrichsen against Frank Hin
rlchen and both the (-year-old girl and the
11-year-old son have taken the stand and
testified for their mother and their father,
respectively. Tbe case is being beard by
Judge Redick.
Henrietta, the little daughter, climbed
onto her motber'a lap. mhen Franklin,
her brother, reached the climax of his
testimony. . The boy declared that his
mother had been in the habit of remain
ing away from home late at night. The
woman whose own son was attacking, quiv
ered a little and her daughter compre
hending nothing more than that her
mother was suffering, attempted to con
sole her by affectionate caresses.
The boy did net enjoy his position st all,
but stuck to his story through a cross
examlratlon. "' " r
"Would you 7"Te, willing to go back to
live with your mother," he was asked.
"Yes, if she Would be w hat a be ought
to be," he answered.
Questions aimed to show that he had
been coached by bla father did not avail
much, but he admitted that he. at one
time, aided with his mother during domes
tic unpleasantness and had often wept
when she and the little girl ware crying.

The matter of a liquor license for Krug

order Is something of a formality because
the Krug park forcea did not wish to con

their original petition to the Benaon city

not to have been such.
A new petiiion to the council brought

f Hew l ark Editor.
Following the adjournment of congress
In the summer of 12 during which seasion
the confiscation bill wss passed. President
Lincoln was summoned to avail himself of
the opportunity offered by the pessage of
that bill, to decree the Instant liberation of
every slave belonging to a rebel master.
These demanda soon assumed, with the
more Impatient and Intemperate portion of
the friends of the administration, a tone'
of complaint and condemnation and Mr.
Lincoln waa chsrged with gross remissness
In the discharge of duties imposed upon him
by the act of congress. They were em
bodied with force and effect In a letter ad
dressed to the president by Horace Greeley,
and published In the New Tork Tribune of
August 1, 182. to which President Lincoln
made thla Incisive and convincing reply;
Executive Mansion, Washington. August
II.. Hon. Horace Greeley; Dear bir I
have Just read yours on the lWh Instant,
addressed to myself through the New Tork
Tribune.
If there be In it sny statements or as
sumption of fact which I may know to be
erroneous. 1 do not now and here contro
vert them.
If there be anv Inferencea which I may be
lieve to be falsely drswn. 1 do not now
and here argue against them.
If there be perceptible In it an Impatient
and dictatorial tone, 1 waive it in defer
ence to an old friend whose heart 1 have
always supposed to be right
As to the policy 1 "seem to be pursuing."
as you say, 1 have not meant to leave any
one In doubt. 1 would save the union. 1
woul save it In the shortest way under the
constitution.
The sooner the national autnorny can oe
restored the nearer the union will be the
union as it was.
If there be those who would not save the
union unless they could at the same time
save alavery. I do not agree with tbem.
If there be those who could not save the
union unless they could st the same time
destrov slavery, I do not agree with them.
My paramount objoct ia to save the union
and not to either rave or destroy slsvery.
If 1 could save the union without freeing
any slaves, 1 would do it if I could save it
by freeing all the slsves I would do it and
If I could do it by freeing some and leaving
others alone, 1 would also do that.
What 1 do about tiavery and tbe colored
rsce, 1 do because 1 believe It helps to ssve
this union, snd whst 1 forbear, i forbear
because I du not believe it would help to
save the union.
I shall do less whenever I shall believe
what 1 am doin hurts the cause, and I
shall di more whenever 1 believe doing
more will help the cause. 1
I shall try to correct errors when shown
to be errors, and 1 shall adopt new views
so fast as they shall appear to be true
Tiewa.
I have here stated my purpose secording
to my vlems of official duty, and I Intend
no modification of my olt-expreased per
sons! wish that all men everywhere could
be free. Yours,

Harlan county and to devote his time to
agricultural pursuits and to raising stock.
Saturday night he will be lured to the old
car house at Twenty-second and Nicholas
and there, surrounded by his fellow em
ployes, will be presented with the remem
brances they have prepared for him.
In the olden days the horse Joe Gorman
drove was one of the best known in
Omaha. He waa the trouble man of the
old horse car system and when trouble waa
reported from any part of the line his
"fiery steed" would take him to the place
of delay faster than the fire department
could go. Tbe beautiful gray has given
way to a pretty bluek, and this is the horse
which, together with the buggy, the offi
cers of the street railway company have
given him.

$3600 net profit on
9 acres of cabbage
sT r. Geo, Fed
f V 1 rolf, who
f' f lives five
ffiy ,f. I miles north of
I Brownsville,
i exas, in tne
' Gulf Coast
Country, planted 9 acres in cab
bages, from which he markettd
227.000 lbs. He sold the en
tire crop to McDavitt Bros.
Commission Merchants of
Brownsville, at prices ranging
from $1.10 to $2.25 per hundred.
All told his gross receipts were
$4000, and, according to Mr.
Federolf s statement, it only cost
him $400 to grow the entire
crop and load it on the car.
His net profit, over and above
all cost, was $3600.
When you consider that this
crop was planted in December
and sold in March, it makes a
pretty good showing for four
months work.
Bear in mind, also, that the
same land will produce two or
three crops a year.
Do you wonder that so many
men are leaving their jobs in
the North and going down to
the Gulf Coast Country to find
fortune and independence.
Why don't you do the same?
Anyone can raise fruits and veg
etables in the Gulf Coast
Country even the city man.
' It is simply "making garden'
Investigate this proposition while the
land Is within your leach. Next year
it will cost more.
A trip of investigation will be inex
pensive. Twice each month you can
buy round trip tickets via the Rack

on a larger scale. You will only
need a few acres and you can
buy the land on easy terms. If
properly cared for, the first crop
should more than pay for th
land.
The Gulf Coast Country has
passed the experimental stage
irrigation, and quick transporta
tion facilities to the large mar
kets of the Mississippi Valley
and the East, have placed the
fruit and vegetable growing
industry on a basis of practical
certainty.
The favorable climatic condi
tions enable the growers to reach
the northern markets weeks
ahead of the products of other
sections, thus insuring enormous
profits.
The Gulf Coast Country is a
delightful place in which to live.
The climate is ideal. Mild
sunny wimers Gulf-breeze
cooled summers.
A great change has been
wrought in the Gulf Coast
Country within the past two or
three years. Prosperous towns
and cities have sprung up irri
gation has been systematized
and extended methods of mar
keting have been improved.
Now large areas of the Gulf
Coast Country are dotted with
small farms, the owners of
which are making fortunes every
year.
