( You'v. heard of that blood-tingling meliv
drama. "Too Proud., to Beg," well, here la
a mat to It.
J. H. Davit, a "Nebraska man ha been
sentenced to a term of seven years In th
Oeorgia penitentiary for a crime of which
ne is, innocent. .- .
The charge against ftavla Is forging a
Vnlted States pontnl rder and obtaining
the money thereon. He was arrested, tried
and (Jonvlcted and sentenced at Atlanta,
(t In April for thq crime, which It la
alleged was committed1 December 22. 100(1.
At the time of the alleged commission of
the crime. Davis waa a federal prisoner In
the Ttougias county Jail, under Indictment
for using the malls for the purposes to
defraild. The chartre' against him was for
advertising for agents of different doaorlp
tlons and requiring them to put tip a little
advanre money to he assured of the Jobs.
He wsa arrested In Omaha In September
by the t'nlted Btnte authorities and was
later Indicted. He entered a plea of guilty
October 81. 1fns. and asked that his sentence
be so, made that It would terminate on
January 1. I!09. as he then Intendod to turn
over a new leaf.- vludge TV. H-. Munger
accepted the plea and passed sentence ac
cordingly. Davis ' waaVthereupon released
from Jail on January 1. lflns.
Meets Homer Morris.
Vhlfi In Jail he- became acquainted with
Hornet Morris, who Is still In the Douglas
count Jail awaiting trial In the federal
courts' for robbery of the Walthill. Neb.,
postofite. Davis and Morris became great
chums, and It appears that Davis, deluded
himself Into the belief that he wss as
sociated with Morris In the Walthill rob
ben', a delusion, wholly.
Vpoa his release from Jail, Davis re
mained about Omaha for several days and
then went south. His former home was In
Mississippi and he Is a member of a prom
inent family in that state, his name of
Davis, being an alias.
Dav(s went to work early' In the spring
In Atlanta and, being comparatively un
known there, was -arrested on the forged
money order charge. He was too proud
to let lils people know of his trouble and
only after he was sentenced to seven years
In tntf penitentiary ,dld he make himself
known to them.
He endeavored to puj up an alibi and In
this effort, declared that he waa wanted
In Nebraska for the Walthill postofflce
robbery,. and that he was In the Dougfas
countyalKln Omaha In December, when
the alleged njorteif twdeV tprgery waa com
mitted; ""- , f
Word was' 'sent? td' Orrfaha to aacertaln
whether he was' wanted here for the
Walthill affair and a negative reply was
sent. ". V ' . ' '
This was taksn as an evidence that the
alibi had failed and so Davis was sent
to the Georgia penitentiary. His people.
In the aleanwlilte, -knowing that he could
prove ff". alibi, senf a Representative to,
Omkhaia. few day ago .to make the neces
sary Inaulriefi and the'iireaults established
the alibi perfectly, through the records of
the irnlted Jrates wuvrshal's office, the
federal court records, and t lie records of
thrtJDojglns county Jail.

Where Are the
Street F u hers?
Did They Get Lost in the Shuffle
and Excitement of Electing
Mayor JimT
Where are the new street flushers?
That Is what 167,000 people of Omaha
wanted to know Thursday when dust blew
not only In the "bad man's eye," but in
the eyes of the Just and unjust alike.
With a lot 6f ceremony the new street
flushers were brought out when they ar
rived a few weeks ago 'and shown to the
people. The street department even al
lowed them to perform once. Then they
were taken back to the barns and business
men who have been watching for some
time to see them again, say they have not
been out. .... ,
Letters of inquiry about the flushers have
been prepared by the municipal affairs
committee of the Commercial club, which
committee was so proud of the new flush
ers when they arrived that David Cole, the
chairman, bought a' new spring' suit and hat
of delicate fabric-, thinking he could wear
the outfit on the streets In' the future. But
Thursday he appeared in "Fish" brand
lick.r.
Members of the Commercial club' suggest
that street sprinkling be discontinued when
the mayor appoints his new street com
missioner. They believe that with the new
flushers sprinkling should1 not be neces-
fary. Many of the business men are of the
opinion that sprinkling' is a lazy way of
keeping dust from blowing, t'Just as' bad as
a housekeeper sweeping dirt under the
piano to keep it from showing.
But election la over.

Two Men Flight
in Police Court
01e
Jackson and J. L. Gaines, Col
ored, Mix It in Presence of
Judge.
Two colored. men of the Third
wurd'had a fight In the clerk's office of
police 'court during the court session
Thursday mornlrg. and Ole Jackson of lllfl
Davenport street, was arrested, tried for
assault and battery, found guilty and
fined $28 and costs, all within five min
ute. James I.. Gaines, proprietor of a
colored men's club at SO South Thirteenth
street, and reputed to be one of the wealth
iest colored men In Omaha, was the other
patty to the case.
The furnishing of a bond for the release
of A. E. Harris, a Rome hotel waiter, who
was arrested In connection with n stab
bing Wednesday night, was the origin of
the trouble. Both Gaines and Jackson
often provide bond money or sign ball
bonds for members of their own race who
get Into Jail.
Police court waa. In session at the time,
but the court room was speedily emptied
when the spectators heard Mrs. Gaines
scream when her husband was knocked
down.
While furnishing a bond, this time for
his own release, Jackson was stopped and
taken Into cout. where he was fined. He
told Judge Crawford he had nothing to
say. as "It wouldn't do any good and he
hadn't been given a chance to prepare for
the trial." Gaines and the court clerk
testified as to the assault. Jackson gave
notice that he would appeal the case. '
FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR PIANO. PURCHASE
Srhmoller A Mueller Piano Co. Close
the Largest Slnicle Contract for
Pianos Ever Placed by a.
Western Honse.
This enterprising firm hss clearly dem
onstrated its faith In the return of pros
perity when It closed during the last week
what Is said to be the largest single order
for pianos ever placed at one time by any
piano house In the west. Recently Mr.
William H. Hchmoller, president of the
company, made a tour through the east,
the prime object of hlch was to secure a
supply of pianos for the Omaha store and
for the four branch stores of this com
pany located at Council Bluffs, Lincoln,
South Omaha and Sioux City. Owing to
the fact that manufacturing circles In the
east have not as yet fully recovered from
the panic of 1907, It was soon evident that
this order could be placed and the Im
mense stock of pianos secured at much
lower prices than has heretofore been pos
sible. As a matter of fact, when It be
came known that this was to be a strictly
spot cash deal, various manufacturers
clamoured fur the privilege of landing the
contract, it was finally decided to entrust
the filling of the order to the manufac
turer best equipped for turning out the
pianos and delivering them with the least
possible delay. It was also a fortunate
coincidence that the lowest prices were of
fered by the Urgent piano manufacturer
In the United States, which prices wers
accepted by the Sehmoller & Mueller
Piano company, with the understanding
that delivery was to commence imme
diately and to be continued until the en
tire order had been filled. Several cars
were Immediately loaded and shipped to
Omaha, which arrived Saturday last
Another shipment Is In transit and others
will follow. Such evidence of confidence
In existing conditions and In the stahiy
and the prosperity of this city and of the
west will surely be rewarded when piano
buyers are fully Informed of the details
surrounding Ibis purchase. The columns
of this paper are being used extensively
In featuring the terms and prices placed
on these pianos at the present time.
Heavy Insurance Waa Carried M. C.
Peters Will Demand Better Fire
Proteetlon Before Rebuild
ing His Mill.
Nine of the eleven buildings of the .M. i
C. Peters Alfalfa Food Product company
were totally destroyed by fire between 8
ttnd g n clock inursuay morning.
The firm csrried $M,( Insurance and Mr.
Peters said he was sure that would cover
his entire loss, which will be adjusted at
once, without any loss to the company.
The mills are sltusted at Twenty-ninth
and B streets, South Omaha. The origin of
the fire is unexplained.
The fire was first noticed about o'clock.
Under the high north wind the lnflsmmable
buildings and the more Inflammable
stock within ten minutes created an un
controllable furnace of fire. Flumes
streamd up ICO feet In the air and the
northern section of South Omaha was
showered with blazing cinders. Four sec
ondary fires were started In the nearer
buildings from this cause. The residents
were alert, however, and none proved
serious.
Three Omaha companies and the South
Omaha departments were soon at hand,
but owing to the wind and the nature of
the buildings and stock were powerless.
Wind Fnns the Flames.
Under the hirh north wind prevailing
the fire raged from the moment of Its
discovery.
The fire had an unexplained origin In the
extreme northwest corner of the plant and
on gaining headway It had all the big plant
before It. Through the length of this It
swept with inrredllble rapidity. All the
buildings were of frame construction pro
tected by a covering of corrugated iron.
Three of the nine were filled with hay.
Two freight cars on the unloading track
were also consumed.
Tow pressure In the water mains, no fire
engine nearer than Omaha, and the wide
radius of the reaching flames made fire
fighting impossible. The attention of the
companies waa directed to the protection of
the smaller buildings partly out of range of
the fire.
M. C. Peters was notified early and ar
rived in his automobile from his Omaha
home when the fire was at Its height.
His first question was: "Are the men all
out of the mill?" He waa relieved to be
assured they were.
The thing which seemed to agitate him
most was at seclnrf the men standing as
close to the fire as human endurance would
permit trying to throw the stream on the
buildings, while the pressure was so weak
that the stream fell short of any effect.
Wants Fire Prot-otlon.
"Well, before I rebuild here I will have
to be assured a better protection than we
hae had since locating In South Omaha,"
said Mr. Peters.
"The stock 1 held entirely by Omaha
men and although the company has re
ceived many flattering offers. I think there
la no doubt the plant, will be rebuilt on
the old site. The plans for rebuilding will
have to be held up until several matters
are considered. The grain elevators have
offered to handle, any part of the business
they could fol ui and -some of the Job
bers have extended every courtesy they
could provide." " '
The most hooeful .ttf, ht flr was
expressed by, one ef the workmen, who
said: ' '
"Now the plant can be built In accord
with the development of th company."
The company began in a small way over
three years ago. and the first buildings
erected were soon outgrown. Since that
time two or three buildings a year have
been added. This kind of construction
sacrificed considerable of the convenience
of a commodious structure and spread the
I plant over a wide space.
The company had been on the point of
beginning new Improvements. A large new
boiler for the plant was received and lay
on the car waiting for unloading. The fires
of the boilers, as evidenced by the smo-e-stack.
burned steadily throughout the con
flagration and some fear was expressed
lest they should explode. The fear was
that the safety valves would be obstructed
by falling debris.
Before building the present plant Mr.
Peters was manager of the Bemts Bag
company and It is rumored that plans were
under way to start the manufacture of
bags In connection with the plant. It is
thought these plans will be carried out In
the new structure.
Mr. Peters said he had rush orders for
fully 100 cars of his product which he
could not fill. It will require fully three
months to adjust the losses and erect the
new plant If such a course is decided on.
