FROM PEN CELL Msapssasaw Charles I. Frymire, Convict at Lin coln, Seeki to Prove Birth. ATTACKS , MOTHER , TOE MONEY Find. Lawyer, to Take HI. Peculiar Case to the County Court for Heritage of Seventy-Five Hundred Dollar.. From his prison cell In the state peni tentiary Charles I. Frymire Is petitioning the county court of Douglas county to pre serve his rights as the son and heir of Mrs. Anna C. Carey ot Omaha. It Is an unusual tale which emerges from the IJncoln prison. It Includes a hint ot Illegitimate birth and a direct charge that Andrew Carey ot Omaha has endeavored to defraud the convict, who says he Is a brother of Carey. The story goes back to the year 1874, In which Henry P. Carey and Mrs. Apna C. Carey were married In the state of Penn sylvania. Either Just! before or shortly after the ceremony, Frymire says In his petition, he himself was born. His plea to the county, court phrases the matter thus: ' ' . "That Henry P.'Carey and Anna C. Carey were married In the state of Pennsylvania bout the year 1S74; that your petitioner was born to them during lawful wedlock, or about the date of the said parents' mar riage." Then Frymire quote, the Pennsylvania statute to show that Illegitimate children are legitimatized If the parents marry sub sequent to the birth of the child. Mr. and Mrs. Carey moved to Nebraska where Andrew J. Carey wua born to them. Henry Frymire was brought up by an uncle of the name Frymire back In the Keystone state. Tears later he too came (west. But he did not Join the. Careys In Omaha. Instead he went to Frontier county of this state where he married. There,, too, he managed one way or an other to kll'. a man some years ago. Frymire was tried In the district court of Frontier county in 1908 for murder, and, being convicted of manslaughter, was sen tenced to ten years. At the trial, Henry P. Carey, according to the statement of Frymire's attorneys, testified that Fry mire was his son. In September, 1907, Henry P. Carey died, ,1 i. , i - REGULATES ANY OUT.OFORDER STOMACH A little DiapepBin will make yon feel fine; in five minutes. The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from Indl-kk-iIou, Dyspepsia, or. out-of-order stom ach is merely a mutter. of how sqon you begin taking some Dlupepsiu. 1 ', It your .tftornaeh Is . larking . In dtges tlvo power, why not help the' stomach to do Its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-n forcemeat of digestive agents, such as j are naturally at work tn-the stomach.. People; with weak Stomaohs ' should take a little Dlapepuln occasionally., and there will be no more Indirection, .no feeling like a lump of lead In the stom ach, no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on Btomachor Belching of undigested food, Headaches, Dlsslness or Sick Stomach, and besides, wha you eat will not fer ment and poison your breath with nau seous odors. All these, tymptoins result ing from a sour, out-of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relloved five minutes after taking a little Dlapepsln. Go ,40 your- druggist and get a 60 cent case of Pape's Dlapepsln now, and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite, 'and what you eat ' will taste good, bocause your stomach and Intestines 'will bo , clean and fresh, and you will know there are nqt going to be any more bad nights and . miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life Is worth living, leaving an estate of S7.500. Mrs. Anna Carey, his wife, became executrix, and on her death In August of last year, Andrew J. Carey applied to become administrator of her estate. Here Is where the plot, ac cording to the charge grows thicker. Andrew Carey is accused In vthe petition of Frymire of representing himself to be the only heir-at-law of his mother, while aware of Frymire's existence; of his pa ternity, and of seeking to keep the man In prison In Ignorance of the fact that the father and mother had died. Frymire asks that Albert A. Patzman of Omaha, be appointed administrator In Carey's stead. It Is represented that the estate Includes $6,040 In notes and bands, and a pool hall at 305 North Sixteenth street, worth J1.S00.

Jfri, ftaraaela at the Old Home, atead tn Mlaaonri, and She Ei pecta Dave to Send Her Box of Cnndy. While stopping at Excelsior Springs Chief of Police . Donahue drove eight miles into the country with a party of a dozen other visitors to visit Mrs. Sa:nuels, the mother of Jesse James, killed by "Bob" Ford at St. Joseph, Mo., In 18S1. "She is a wonderful old woman," said the chief. "She will be 85 years old Sat urday, yet can recall dates of forty and fifty years ago with marvelous certainty. She lives on the farm where her home has been for fifty years, the houe Itself being twenty years old when she moved Into It. She shows today the portnoles In the walls which were made at the time the James boys were being hunted first, Just after the war. Where the plaster has dropped off In a room of the house the old hand-made laths show up. I "Mrs. James, as she is best known in that section, has but one arm) the right hand and most ol that arm having been destroyed by a bomb thrown through a window during the stormy tlmos when the Plnkertons wanted her sons, dead or alive. She shows you the window where the bomb came through and points out where an 8-year-old son was when hit and his entire side torn away; also where her old negro servant stood when killed by the same bomb. She asks everybody If he is from Chicago, against which city flie holds an undying grudge. She Identi fies Chicago with the Plnkertons, and 'brutes' Is the mildest word she applies ' A. A.

"She insisted that she has a sweetheart In Omaha, "when she learned I was from here. When I anked her who It was she replied: "Dave O'Brien. Ho came to see me here some years ago and I liked him. He sends me a box of candy occasionally, and I do hope he won't forget me on my birthday.' She admits she Is very fond of candy, and credits it with helping h?r to keep spry and chipper. I never saw a woman of her age who was as bright, as able to talk, or as quick In getting about. She apologised for the absence of her servant, when we arrived, by saying, 'My hired folks are Just like polioemen; you can't find 'em when you want 'em.' She did not know then that I was a polloeman. "Let mo give you another Instance of the keenness of Mrs. James. She Insists she can tell when a man hasr his wife with him. She Just sits at the window and watches the visitors alighting from their rigs. " 'If a man has his wife with him,' she asserts, 'he merely takes hold of her arm In helping her out of the rig. If he has his sweetheart or some other man's wife, he takes her In his arms to lift her out.' And then Bhe laughs in quiet approval of her own wit. Speak, of Frank and Jesse. "It Is interesting to hear this woman tell of the fighting days and of how she helped her 'brave boys,' as she Invariably speaks of Jesse and Frank. A grave still kept up In the house lot was formerly oc cupied by the body of Jesse, but she had It moved to a cemetery three miles away once when she decided to leave the farm. Then she moved back, not being satisfied In a town, but did not bring the body of her son with her. "She was expecting a visit from her son Frank this week. He lives now In Okla homa and she takes delight In telling visit ors how he made her a republican. She al ways admired Roosevelt, 'because he Is a fighter, and I like fighters,' but she never knew much of Taft until Frank wrote her, after meeting the president last year, to go out oa the porch and give three cheers for Taft. " 'I done It, too,' she says, with a shake of her head; 'only I gave five cheers for Taft, and neighbors a quarter of a mile away thought I had gone crazy. They came over to find out what ailed me, and were surprised when I told them I was cheering for Taffc I'm a republican now, and sorry I wasn't one years ago.' "She goes In this way from one subject to another with a vim and power ot ex pression that Is most surprising. She likes married men, and when she finds out a man Is married she always makes It a point to pat him on the head In a motherly way. "The farm on which Mrs. James live, originally comprised 250 acre., but she has only seventy acres left. The neighbors think a great deal of her and help her hired man with the work. On the gate of the farm Is a sign, 'Admlsalon 26 Cents,' and she explains this by saying it people want to bother her they ought to pay for taking up her time. She la worth visiting, merely for her grasp of history, If nothing sis' Lookout for Fakers Getting Your Garbage Bogey Man is Abroad and He is Lia ble to Carry Tour Refuse All Away. Hot'sewlves should beware of garbage fakirs. Not fakirs who sell garbage, but those who pretend to be sub-contractors under the new arrangement for the collection of garbage, In district No. 2, for which James Whalen has the license, a man has al ready been busy, apparently with question able Intent He represents that he Is act ing for Whalen, and in two or three In stances that are known he has charged more than double the amount allowed by law for gathering garbage from cans. H. H. Bowes, attorney, was the first citizen to bring information of the hold up to the health department. He reported that tho fake garbage collector had charged his wife 50 cents for emptying the can at his house, InBtead of 15 cents. Mr. Whalen happened to be In the health office when Mr. Bowes called, and said that he had not begun work at all yet. He said also that when he does begin he will make a regular arrangement with every householder In his district and will do his own collecting once a month, at the regular rate provided In the ordinance. It Is known that the Omaha Rendering and Feed company also Intends to gather in the other seven districts on a systematio plan and to collect at regular periods. Hence housewives and all others concerned are warned by the' health department to find out Just who they are doing business with and post themselves on the rates that can be legally charged. The price ranges from 15 cents for a ten to twenty-gallon can to 35 cents for a fifty-gallon can, and the high rate Is permitted only In the more thinly populated districts.
