TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY REK: OCTOBER 24. 1909.
A
NOT TIIE REAL SCHLATTER
Dead Man at Hastings Eaid to Be the
Tretender.
ORIGINAL DIED SOME TEARS AGO
Faker Reeeatly la Omaha and He !
Relieved In Be lae Mia Whose
Body Call for Identlfl
eatloa. Beversl men are now In Omaha who
visited Denver In 1SI6 or ISM at the time
"Schlatter" was creating: auch a sensation
there through hla dlvlno healing processes
at the Alderman Fox residence, and they
doubt extremely If the man now dead at
Heatings and who waa recently in Omaha
ia the original Schlatter.
It will be remembered that Schlatter dls
appeared from Denver Just aa suddenly aa
he appeared there. He waa reported to
have been aeen afterward In many parts
of the country, and several men, proteasing
to be the original Schlatter, undertook to
perform the cures attributed tn him a few
weeks after his disappearance, but with
Indifferent success.
On thing la certain: that there haa been
for yeara another man, regarded aa a
sheer charlatan, representing himself a
Schlatter. Thla man waa very recently In
Omaha and In The Bee office, but finding
poor harvest here he drifted on, and
there la a popular belief that thla la the
man who died at Hastings.
Jok Worked oa Easy Oaea.
Ed Wilson, formerly chief of police at
Beatrice, (who had aeen the original Schlat
ter In Denver), and who la now employed
with the detective service of the Burling
ton, tella a droll story regarding an al
leged Schlatter appearing at Beatrice
shortly after the disappearance of tha
original Schlatter from Denver.
"Some Joker had registered the name of
"Schlatter" on the Paddock hotel register
and the story very soon spread that Schlat
ter was in town and would do the healing
atunt at the Paddock hotel. There waa a
German living in Beatrice at tha time by
the name of Qua Schmidt, who everybody
knew and, who waa somewhat of a practi
cal Joker. He bore a falc resemblance to
Schlatter, wearing fairly long hair and a
blonde beard, and It occurred to soma of
the other practical Jokera of Beatrice to
have Qua pose aa Schlatter, and . bless a
few handkerchiefs and do aome divine heal
ing. Gua took up with the Idea, and we
hired a room for him on the Court atreet
front on the third floor of the Paddock
hotel. A placard waa written and placed
In the lobby of the hotel stating that Schlat
ter would be ready for business at 10
o'clock that morning, and at 4 o'clock In
the afternoon he would do aome long dis
tance healing from hla window and blesa
the poor and othera who were unable to
meet him personally. The whole thing waa
to be dorus without cost to those to be
blest and healed. Did It take? Well I
guess yea. '
Go to Get Doable Dose.
"The funniest part of the proceedings waa
that Beatrice had aent thirty or forty
cltlaena to Denver to be cured by the real
Schlatter, and they knew- him fairly- well.
Many of them remaining there two or three
-daya to get a double dose or cure.. Well,
practically all of these people who had
been to Denver to see the original Schlat
ter, were willing to ewear that Gua Schmidt
was the real thing and were among the
first to visit him at the Paddock hotel
"The door to Gua' room waa permitted to
be only partly open and he being dressed
In similitude to the real Schlatter could
only be aeen indistinctly through tha half
opened door. Well, handkerchiefs went In
there by bales to be blessed, and the own
era had the completest faith In the efficacy
of the cure they would give.
"The hotel waa Jammed with the crazy
mob waiting for a blessing, and the thing
began to look serious. We managed to
get the crowd away on the representation
that Schlatter wanted 8 little rest before
beginning the public blessing from the win
dow. Well, when 4 o'clock came Court
atreet In front of the Paddock hotel was
literally Jammed with people waiting for
the blessing.
Bale of Handkerchiefs.
"We had In the meanwhile bought an
other bale of cheap handkerchiefs, and got
Gua to stand between the partly opened
where: to eat.

blest handkerchiefs Into the crowd. There
was a mighty scramble for them. Never
for a moment did the crowd doubt but that
Oua was the real thing.
"Qua finally got scared and bucked, say
ing that he was tired of the foolishness
and withdrew from the window, resumed
hla usuirl dresa and went down In the
crowd to ase the fun. Many of the crowd
remained there for two hours waiting for
another ejUmpee of the healer, and his
sudden disappearance waa taken aa an as
surance that he waa the real stuff.
' I cite thla story Just to show that people
are liable to be mistaken In their Identity
of persona. I do not think the man now
dead at Hastings Is the real Schlatter, for
there Is no question that he died within a
year or so after his disappearance from
Denver."

Nebraska Productive Wealth;
It's Poverty in Advertising
The facta presented in the letters printed
below are of deep Interest to the people of
Nebraska. They deserve serious consider
ation and remedial action at the earliest
poasible day. In a pyramid of statistics
are shown the quantity and value of the
product! of the state. Beside it Is a showing
of the penurious policy of the state In tell
ing the world of Its productive wealth. In
other words, nature and Industry produce
"the goods," but the state fatla to advertise
the exhibit.
In a note accompanying the letter of In
quiry and the reply. General C. F. Mander
aon explains that he wrote to the deputy
commissioner of labor for additional light
on the statistics of the products of Ne
braska contained In the annual report of
he bureau. "You wilt aee," he writes,
"that my estimate of 1100.000,000 aa the
value of the products of this state for the
year 1908 was much short of the facts.
With the great development of the state
during the last twelve months I firmly
believe . that the value of the products of
the state, which by the estimate of Mr.
Maupln, were $610,000,000 in 1908,' have prob
ably increased ao that the year 1909 will
show our products to approximate $750,000,
000. These figures are enormoua and almost
challenge belief, but those of ua who are
tamillar with the state will realize that It
ia not an over estimate."
Drawlag Oat the Facta.
General Manderson's letter, dated Oc
tober 13, to the deputy commissioner of
labor, follows:
"I received the report of the bureau of
labor and ' Industrial statistics and have
looked It over wlth Interest. There is
much Informatlor) in It that Is of value,
but I wish It went Into greater detail and
gave the value of the different products
of the state about which It treats.
"A short time ago I was in Cleveland,
nnd coming down from my . room to the
office in the Hollenden hotel, I saw an
other Nebraskan who waa with me In
Cleveland alttlng by the aide of an old
gentleman who recognised me, and I aaw
that he waa looking at my companion In
an Incredulous way and aa he might look
at a champion liar. My Nebraska friend
said: 'Suppose you ask General Mander.
son to give you hla estimate of the value
of the products of Nebraska.' I aald: 'I
have aeen It stated lately that the products
of Nebraska resulting from agriculture and
labor are valued at $400,000,000 annually,
and I do not believe, from what I know
of the state, that this is an over estimate.
The state had 1,070,000 people by the census
of 1890 and I think the census of 1910
may ahow It to have 1,250,000, so you aee
the product stated meana that there la a
production of the value of $300 or $400 for
every man, woman and child In the state.'
"The Ohio man seemed utterly astounded
for, like many other people in the east, he
haa always looked upon Nebraska as a
baroen waste.
"I think it would be of great value to
the atate If you would take all products,
whether of labor In manufacture, or the
result of labor tn cultivation, and give an
estimate of the value so that It might be
given to the world. Figures of buahela and
acrea and of the number of live atock of
all aorta do not carry Information that la
of 'great value to the average mind, but
when you put It In dollars It appeals to
everybody.-
"For my gratification, and, indeed for my
use, where I think It will do the state much
good. I wish you would make an estimate
for me of the value of Nebraska products
in all lines. With the information that you
have you could approximate very nearly
to the actual value.
"I shall be glad to hear from you at any
early convenience and will, of course, see
that you and your office get the credit that
Is fairly due for the material furnished."
Aa Overloaded B area a.
Replying to the above, the deputy com
mlasloner wrttea:
"Knowing your intense loyalty to Ne
braska, and your opportunities for making
known the wonderful resources of this
state, I deem It a privilege to give you any
information within my power. And know
ing, too, your Influence, I selxe this op
portunity to call to your attention to a
few things about this department, hoping
to enlist your support to the end that the
bureau of labor and census statistics will
be so equipped that It may, in future, do
something really worth while in the mat
ter of making Nebraska's resources and
opportunities known of all men. Before
going Into the details you request, let
me give you some Idea of the handicaps
under which this department labors:
"It Is really the only public service bureau
In the state, and Is the only advertising
bureau the state has. The entire force con
sists of myself and one stenographer who
also sets as statistician, librarian and aa
aiatant. There are twenty-one dlattnct du
ties developing upon the department,' in
cluding fire escape Inspection, hotel In
spection, enforcement of child labor law,
female employment law, free employment
agency law. Inspection of public buildings,
co-operation In the enforcement of the Ju
venile court ant truancy laws and the law
relating to the investigation of Industrial
disputes. In addition It must collect, col
late and publish acre, crop and live stock
statistics, labor statistics, manufacturing
statistics and city, chattel and real estate
mortgage statistic, We are required to Issue
periodically bulletins of crop and manufac
turing statistics, mortgage statistics, etc.,
and reports of hotel, fire escape, factory and
public building Inspection. Apart from sal
aries 1. M0 a year for myaelf and $810 for
my aaslatant we have the magnificent aum
of $2.(00 a year for every expenae, consist
ing of printing, postage, express, freight,
telephone, telegraph and traveling expenses.
It costs ua an average of $300 for each
bulletin we Issue, postage Included, and
we Uaue from atx to ten every year.
Wnrfal Lack at Meaaa.
"Thla may serve to give you aome Idea of
the fearful handicapa we are laboring under
In our efforta to properly advertise Ne
braska's wonderful resources to' the world.

York.
Quick Action for Your Money You get
that by using The Bee advertising columns.
We cannot employ help to assist us In
getting these statistics, and there Is a limit
to the physical and mental resources of
both myself and my assistant. The work
we are trying to do with two people and
$2,500 a year Is being attended to tn Kansas
by something like twenty-six people who
have between $50,000 and $00,000 a year at
their command. Yet there are those who
fall to understand why Kansas Is adver
tised the world over while Nebraska too
often meets with Incredulous ones like the
Cleveland gentleman you mention men
who refuse to believe us when we tell them
the truth about Nebraska.
"This bureau should have at least six or
seven people working all the time. It
should have at least $12,000 a year for ex
penses apart from salaries, and $18,000 could
be spent to splendid advantage. I have
gone to aome length In thlB explanation in
the hope that you will lend us the weight
of your Influence at the proper time to se
cure from the legislature a proper recog
nition of this very Important department of
the state. Its duties are too numerous. Its
equipment to Inadequate. Its possibilities
for good to Nebraska are unbounded.
Wealth Inadvertl.ed.
"And now to a hasty, though truthful.
exposition of Nebraska's productivity, ag
ricultural and mechanical:
"Because the crop figures for 1909 are not
yet compute I am taking the figures of
1MM.. The totals for 1909 will be of even
greater advantage because of the Increased
yield and advanced prices. True, the corn
crop this year Is short compared with 1908,
but the difference in price this year will
considerably more than offset the decreased
yield.

Plata Troths Worth Telling;.
"The total of wages paid In the various
Industries In Nebraska is over $30,000,000,
not including farm and domestic labor.
"The egg crop of Nebraska la worth more
than the mineral output of Colorado.
"The poultry, butter and egg crop of Ne
braska la worth more than the gold and
silver output of the entire United States.
"Nebraska's corn crop each year Is worth
more than the total tobacco crop of the
nation.
"Our small grain crop each year Is worth
more than the copper output of the United
States by over $30,000,000.
"Our agricultural and dairy output is
worth as much as Pennsylvania's coal out
put, anthracite and bituminous.
"An average corn crop In Nebraska would
fill enough standard freight cars to make
a train reaching from Denver to Chicago,
1,040 mllea, with 172 ml lea of corn-filled cars
to ornament the side tracks.
"The 1906 wheat crop of Nebraska would
fill enough Burlington cars to make a
solid freight train , reaching from McCook
to Omaha, with a few cars left over to
ornament aide tracka.
"If the total grain and hay production of
Nebraska should be loaded Into standard
freight cara, the cars would make a train
long enough to reach from Omaha to San
Franclaco, with a few hundred mllea of
cara left over for rood meamire Whn ih.

No Need to Stretch the Trath.
"It la not to be wondered at that the
people of other states refuse to believe us
when we tell them of the great resources
of Nebraska. No need to stretch the truth
In order to make a good Impression. On
the contrary, the truth Is so great that
we will always have difficulty In making
people believe It, and the only way to
prove our contentions Is to bring people
to Nebraska and let them aee for them
selves. "I have endeavored to give you a brief
resume of Nebraska's productivity. At
some future time. If you so desire, I would
be glad to write you concerning the future
possibilities of Nebraska. But I believe
this communication will be enough to ex
haust your time and patience. I thank
you for the opportunity of telling these
things to one who can do so much to
make them known of all men, and I ear
nestly ask you for your support In secur
ing for this department a recognition In
accordance with Its power fur advancing
the welfare of our beloved state."

BRAN DEIS STORES
Delegate Must
Have Double Room
Young Bride at Convention is Cause
of Some Little Delicate
Commotion.
The local entertainment committee of the
Women's Christian Temperance union Is
having Its own dlfflcultler to meet. There
have been many who changed their minds
at the eleventh hour and asked to be al
lowed to entertain pergonal friends instead
of strangers and other equally vexing
things have had to be met, but the com
nJttee met a unlcue difficulty Friday
afternoon.
A young woman whose credentials bore
the prefix "Miss" and who had been as
signed with several others to one of the
homes for entertainment, blushlngly ex
plained that she would like another place
a place for two In a room. The committee
looked over its list and passed her a
card for another place, where one delegate
had already been quartered. Looking it
over she handed that back too as unsatis
factory. The busy assignment clerk an
nounced that was the best she could do.
"Well, I must have a room for two," In
sisted the young woman, ana tien she ex
plained confidentially, "You see, I was
married a few days ago and my husbam
has come to the convention with me."
The assignment clerk "saw," but as en
tertalnment is being provided for dele
gates only, no provision had been madt
for husbands, and upon learning thla, the
bride left without even giving her name
or her delegation.

tentions were good, but he slipped up: "-'
"We are eleven to ono on the Judgment," ,
he said. - i 1
This was generally Interpreted at tlie
time to mean as eleven to one on tho '
amount of award to Dennison. '
Judge Kennedy sent the Jury back. It did v
