HOLMES ASRS FIRE WARDEN
Will Knn Bisk of Getting; Pay if
Mayor Will Appoint Him.
HE IS REGARDED AS THE WISHER
Prosslaod Pleco of Pie by Mayor, Who
Palled Him Oat of Connell Raeo
Against Johnson In Spring;
Election.
Robert H. Holmes, member of the last
legislature, author of the fire warden bill
and pre-prlmary candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for the council from the
Fourth ward, Ik a candidate for tha posi
tion of fire warden and has told the mayor
that If appointed he will take his chances
on getting paid.-
City Attorney Bumam believes the money
to pay the salary of the fire warden, the
new office created by the last legislature,
must come from tha general fund, Inns
mtirh ss the legislature failed to designate
any fund and he Is also of the opinion that
this fund could withstand a drain of 7M)
to pay the new official for the balance of
the year. The general fund Is now In a
bn.i condition, but It ts figured that there
will be more money later In the year.
Mayor Dahlman has made no promise as
to whom he will appoint to the new posi
tion In the event tha city attorney advises
hl.n thkt he can nominate a man for fire
warden at this time, but it is generally
understood that Mr. Holmes will get the
place.
Holmes started out to make a strenuous
campaign against Councilman Johnson, but
a short time before the primaries he was
pulled out largely through tha influence
of the mayor. It was understood at that
time that the mayor had promised him a
good position if he would He down.
The state constitution bars any member
of the legislature from holding any other
state office or any office appointive by the
governor during his legislative term, but
City Attorney Burnam says he falls to
find where this section would have any
boarlng on a city office and he believes
Mr. Holmes could take the position, despite
the fact that he Is the author of the bill
which created the office.
Should the mayor make an appointment
the appointee must be confirmed by the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
William F. Cowger, republican, Is another
candidate for tha position.

TWO THOUSAND MEN AND
WOMEN BUY R0UQE MONTHLY
And They Are Hot All 8 to are Folk,
Either, Snys a DrnsraTlst Who
Knows.
Approximately 1,000 men and women
chiefly women buy rouge or other cosmet
ics every month in Omaha. The estimate
is made by four leading Srug store pro
prietors. Inasmuch as the number is far larger
than that of tha actors and actresses who
live In or visit this city in one month the
conclusion is Inevitable that a good many
women are trying to help nature out. It
should be added with speed that artificial
roses in tha cheeks are not a peculiar
product of this vicinity, but that hand
made complexions flourish everywhere.
"So far as I can observe." said one drug
gist, "the only men who buy rouge ara
actors, and their use of it may be consid
ered legitimate.
'Some of the women who are our stead
iest purchasers probably would give In
their occupations as 'acting if arrested, but
who have never been nearer the stage than
the front row in the parquette.
"Black pencils for darkening eyebrows
do not sell !n anything Uke the amount
that rouge does, for these can, I fancy, be
Improvised from burnt matches. Face en
amel Is almost a negligible quantity, though
It used to sell considerably.
"Society women? Well, a few at least.
They buy In less quantity, too, making
rouge, I suppose, go further and achieve
a milder tone.
"There is at. much rouga sold in summer
as In n Inter end once a purchaser always
a purchaser. Not, I Imagine, that It be
comes a habit Ilka drinking, but women
who appear once with heightened color
fear they will be detected If they appear
without this embellishment thereafter."

Banks Ignore
Guaranty Law
Sooth Dakota Institutions Are Not
Placing Themselves Under Pro
visions of Statute.
PfERRE. S. D.. June 28 (Special.) Ar
ticles of Incorporation have been filed for
the Farmers' State bank of Wltten, Tripp
county, with a capital of $5,000. The incor
porators are A. D. Shepard. Dennis
O'Leary, Wltten; Chester Slaughter, Dal
las. The last half of the June has seen
a rush of the Sfi.OnO banks at the smaller
towns over the state, as no banks csn
be organised In the state after the first of
July, with less than J10.000 in capital. This
new law may reduce the number of banks
In the smaller towns, but there Is no prob
ability of the banking business languishing
In the state with its present financial con
ditions. While the bank guaranty law does not go
Into effect until the first of next month
no banks have yet shown any Indication of
placing themselves under the provisions of
tha act, and It Is not considered probable
that any great number of banks will take
advantage of it. A few may at the start,
and If thty show any decided gain In
business through such art. It may become
general In Its use so far as state banks
are concerned, but It will remain for some
bank of importance "to break the ice" be
fore any rush to get under the new pro
visions will be perceptible.

MRS. CLEVELAND ON STAND
Widow of Former President Teitifles
in Brandenburg Case.
DEFENDANT IS LAST WITNESS
Denies He Told Flnley Cleveland Hnd
Signed First Typewritten Docu
ment Second Photographer
?lot Present.
NEW YORK, June 28. Attorneys for
Broughton Brandenburg, charged with
grand larceny. In connection with the al
leged spurious letter of Grover Cleveland,
placed their final witnesses on the stand
and closed th case for the defnae.
Oeorge E. Fleming, a lawyer, said he had
seen the article with defendant's signature
attached, on June 4, IMS. A stenographer,
for the prosecution, had previously testi
fied to typing the article June 10. Ran
dolph E. Lewis, Sunday editor- of the New
York Hemtt, testified he had the signed
article In his possession before August 18.
On cross-examination Mr. Lewis stated
that the article he had was a ribbon, not
a carbon copy. Brandenburg had testified
that Mr. Cleveland signed a carbon copy.
In rebuttal, the prosecution called Charles
R. Miller, editor of the Times, who de
clared that Mr. Cleveland's signature In
evidence, was the one attached to the ar
ticle when It waa received by the Times.
It had been claimed by the defense that
the signature before the court, which had
been pronounced a forgery, was not the
one originally attached to the Times ar
ticle. Mrs. Cleveland on Sand.
Mrs. Cleveland .attired in deep mourn
ing, was called. She was asked as to her
examination of Mr. Cleveland's signature
submitted to her in the New 'York Times
office, In the presence of Mr. Hastings,
one of the executors of Mr. Cleveland's
estate. She testified that Mr. Hastings had
not told her that the signature she ex.
amlned was not the one he saw on the
article when it first came to htm. Mrs.
Cleveland was not cross-examined.
President John Finley of the College of
the City of New York testified that
Brandenburg had told him that he
(Brandenburg), had transcribed Mr. Cleve
land's notes of the article and had taken
them back and had them signed. Branden
burg had told him, Mr. Finley said, that
there were two photographers present when
the article was signed.
Brandenburg, himself, took the stand
as the last witness in the case. His attor
ney asked him:
"Did you hear President Flnley's state
ment that you said Mr. Cleveland signed
the first typewritten document you took
him. Is that trueT"
"Absolutely false," was tfee reply.
"Did you tell him a second photographer
was present?"
"I did not," said Brandenburg.
Both sides then rested. A motion to dis
miss the complaint was denied. "
The end of the trial drew near today,
with the commencement of the summing
up, by the attorney for the defense and
prosecution. The case will go to the Jury
tomorrow.
Oswald N. Jacoby, summing up for
Brandenburg, referred at length to the
fact that F. S. Hastings, executor of the
Cleveland estate, though called before the
grand Jury, was not called as a witness by
the district attorney. He declared there
had been powerful Interests at work to
attach the authenticity of the article, and
said that former secretary of the treasury.
John G. Carlisle and President Finley of
the City college "had made up their minds
to discredit the article, If possible," and
that "the only way open to them was to
attack the only living man who really
knows whether Mr. Cleveland wrote It or
not."
