Friend.
If you had friend who falsely swore
you Into Jail arid then stole your horses,
would you prosecute him or let him go be
cause he waa your friend T
An tone Shkutsks, a huckster living at
1004 South Eighteenth street, waa locked
up In the city Jail because Frank Koshla.
X&X South Thirteenth atreet, another huck
ster, saya he stole three horsea from him.
The man arrested haa thoughtfully
adopted an alias and In this aa well aa
his alleged, offense, betraya a love for the
homely things of life. He .calla himself
Bmlth to match the old-fashioned deed of
"hose- stealing. ,
These two men are Russians, came to
this country together and Smith worked for
Koahla aa a peddler. '
A One day down at Fourteenth and Maaon
v streets some people got Into a row and
Koshla waa there. Smith accused him to
the police of taking S4G from a man.
Koshla waa arreeted. At length hla coae
' waa heard and he came clear.
Back from the prison Koshla went to his
home to roaume his work of peddling, but
ha found his three horsea were gone.
Finally suspicion fell upon hla employe and
friend, and after much scrambling about
Detectives Iunn and Ilettfeld arrested the
wan with the name In East Omaha.
'The prisoner said they were hla horsea.
Koshla denied H. Koshla declared he had
bought them and had a bill of sale for
them until Shkutska stole It with the
horses. The officers looked In the tatter's
. room and found fragments of tha bill of
sale where It haa been torn up. They
A found that Koshla told the truth.
Smith sold one horse to a man named
Janlah, 1463 South Fourteenth street. South
Omaha, for 161 and another to a man
named Myera for $15, who took It to Kansas
City. The third horse he left In a livery
stable near Sixteenth and Leavenworth
streets.
Shkutzka thought as long as he and
Koshla had been friends over In Russia
together and had come to this country and
fought the battle of life ax one. Koshla
ought not to have him arrested, but
Koshla opined that friendship of that sort
didn't make a big hit with him.
A formal charge was preferred by Koshla
and Smith's examination will take place
Saturday. lie was released on $500 ball.

Hard Question
Put to Estelle
Child of Disagreeing Pair Asks How
the Diyorceflecision is
Going.
"Please. Judge, may I speak to you?"
Judge Estelle lowered his newspaper and
peered over hla spectacles at a. girl of 13
years who stood before him, a letter In
her hand.
"Why, certainly." said the court "I am
fond of children. Tou need not be afraid
of me. What is it?"
Judge Estelle's fondness for children waa
soon to be endangered.
"I came to find out whether you are
going to decide for mamma or papa," said
the child. "I am Margaret Robllng."
"Who sent you?" asked Judge Estelle,
controlling his feelings with difficulty, but
controlling them nevertheless.
"Why, mamma did," returned the little
girl, "She gave me a note to teacher, ex
cusing me for being late this morning be
cause I was coming here to find out who
you are going to decide for."
"Tou go see your lawyer," said Judge Es
telle, dismissing her.
Later In the day the attorneys for Mr.
and Mrs. Robllng appeared and the court
announced that a temporary restraining
order against Robllng granted at his wife's
plea will be continued until the divorce
suit comes on for hearing on Its merits.
MADE BY HARRIS OF CHICAGO
Chattel Morta-asie Btmnltaaeooaly
Filed by President Eberaole Cov
ering; All of the Com
pany's Property.
Mechanics Hens, aggregating tl8.10.1B,
have been filed In the office of the
recorder of deeds of Douglas county
against the property of the Independent
Telephone company of Omaha. The liens
are three In number, and . one 'of xthem
by . the Automatle Electric company of
Chicago, of which 8. A.- Harris Js presi
dent. - Harris Is a controlling factorin the
telephone company. .'. ....
The liens, companies and amounts are
as follows:
Automatlo Electric company, Chicago,
W.2M.30; F. Blssell company, Ohio, 11.589.81;
Standard Underground Cable company.
Pittsburg, 17.790.93.
At the same hour at which these Hens
were filed In the office of County Re
corder Handle, a chattel mortgage waa be
ing recorded In the office of County Clerk
Haverly by F. E. Eberaole, as president
of the Independent Telephone company.
The chattel mortgage Is to the Title In
surance and Trust company of Los
Angeles, and It covers all the property of
the Independent Telephone company. The
sum is 13,300,000. In this amount the Title
Insurance and Trust company binds Itself
to secure the bonds of the Independent
company. The mortgage states that the
bonds have been thus secured alnce the
company was started and that the direc
tors pledged themselves to renew the
chattel mortgage every six months, be
cause It was doubtful If the company could
separately convey newly acquired property.
Mortgage Iarlades Intensions.
This new chattel mortgage Includes the
new Florence and South Omaha extensions

Oonntry Ranks Are I'slng Their Own

Ranks of Omaha and South Omaha show
substantial gain In deposits In compari
son with a year ago.
The oomptroller of the currency of the
United States has Issued his call for a
statement of the condition of banks at
the close of business, November IS. This
rail found the Omaha and South Omaha
national banks with S4.3CS.OES more on de
posit than when the call was made a year
ago. and with about the same shortage
over the lan call, which was made Sep
tember 1, of this year.
The reason for a decrease In deposits
which always comes at this season of the
year Is that the country banks which keep
large deposits In the Omaha banks have
use for their money and are In fact bor
rowers. The home loans and liabilities of
the Interior banks expand. The after har
vest trade Is big and merchants are In the
market for goods, grain Is moving and
farms are changing hands. The country
banks have use for their money.
It Is noted by the Omaha bankera that
there Is no falling off of Individual de
posits and that the loss In deposits comes
entirely from the withdrawal of the de
posits of the country bank.
The following comparative statement
made with November 27 of last year when
the call was made, shows the banks to
have gained In deposits.

refined glycerine. This agent possesses ln
trlnsle me&clnal properties of Its own, being a most valuable
' antiseptic and antlterment, nutritive and soothing demulcent.
Glycerine plays an important part in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the cure
of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risings, heart-burn, foul
breathi coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stomach, biliousness and kin-,
drcd derangements of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery"
is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal
passages or of the stomach, bowels or other organs. Even in its ulcerative stages it will
yield to this sovereign remedy if its use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of the
Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the "Golden Medical Discovery" for the necessary
constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times a day with Dr.
Sages Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatment geierally cures even the
worst cases. 7
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bronchial, throat and lung affections, except
consumPtl?n the "Golden Medical Discovery" is a most efficient remedy, especially in
those obstinate, hang-on-coughs caused by irritation and congestion of the bronchial
mucous membranes. The "Discovery" is not so good for acute coughs arising from
sudden colds, nor must it be expected to cure consumption in its advanced stages no
medicine will do that but for all the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, if neglected, or
badly treated, lead up to consumption, it is the best medicine that can be taken.

MARKET nOUSE REAL PUZZLE
What to Do with It Perplexes the
City Conncilmen.
MANY USES ARE SUGGESTED
Bnth Hoose, Tool House, Lodsilnsj
Honse or Tear It DownThese
Are ome of the Prop
ositions. Councilman Rerka's resolution relative
to the Capitol avenue market house has
brought to the front a great many sug
gestions as to the possible uses to which
It might be put.
Examination shows that the 330.000 struc
ture has been woefully neglected by the
citv In recent years. The plumbing ahd
other fittings have deteriorated for lack
of care, and the building throughout is In .
bad condition.
Street Commissioner Flynn has his street.,
flushors storedM one end, and he Is In
sisting that It would be the best kind
of a place for a city tool house. He as
serts that the present tool house under
the Sixteenth street viaduct Is Inadequate
and that valuable machinery Is left out
exposed to the elements at all seasons of
the year because there is no place to
house It. "This neglectful policy Is cost
ing the city good money every year,"
says the street commissioner, "which could
be saved If we had a place like the mar
ket house in which to store all the ma
chinery and tools and care for them prop
erly. Of course, a costly, building la not
really necessary for such a purpose, but
since It Is standing Idle and going to
ruin, It ought to be put to some useful
purpose."
Councilman Berka has been approached
with several suggestions. Some folks have
favored turning the place Into a public
bath. Others want It made Into a public
comfort station, such as Councilman Kugel
has been advocating, and still others have
suggested that It would be a good ele
phant house for a traveling show in the
winter time.
"But that won't do," said the First ward
alderman, "because It's a white elephant
as It stands." .'...
Since the building was erected from the
proceeds of a bond Issue, the city officials
are chary of trying to devote It te any
other purpose by formal action. At various
times parties have been given permission.
Informally, to use the building. The As
sociated Charities had an office there when
It waa first organised la Omaha. Later
the local militia companies were allowed
to make camp there, and are still In posses
sion of part of ' the building, , but they
will move out the first of next month.
"Turn the old market house Into a
lodging house for unfortunate people," is
one hunch given to members of the coun
cil, and some of them are Inclined to think
that might be aa good a move as any.
Others favor moving It away bodily or
tearing down and thus clearing the street
of cn unsightly obstruction.

Alcohols.
Chief Donahue was confronted by e man
who had a tankful of alcohol, apparently.
He was leaning aldeways as he moved,
and there waa that look In his eyes that
locoed things have a monopoly of.
"What do you want - to come around
drunk forT" queried' the chief,- severely.
"Drunk?" ssked the man, countering, as
his ees opened In great surprise. 4'Drtfnk!''
he exclaimed, with bristling dignity, as
he lost his breath. Then catching It again,
he gased sorrowfully at the stern police
officer and with careful enunciation,, he
said:
"Chief, all I had this morning was a
piece of chicken and a glass of milk."
Aa the sorrowful one meandered out,
Donahue aollloqulsed, "That chicken must
have had the pip and the milk was full of
bacteria."
