Postmaster Thomas has received a letter from Portland, Ore., signed by H. Doleman of. No. $ North Second street, which Indi cates that the writer considers the Omaha postmaster pretty close to John D. Rocker feller and the letter is apparently written to the Standard Oil magnate. It reads thus: J. D. Rockerfeller, Dear Sir No man hates more than I to be reduced to making money by blackmail, but one must live. My cause is good and when one gives it his means, you won't hear that it is refused as tainted. The "unfortnuates who have missed the shining mark" are making more noise than necessary. Olve them an edu cation. With IWO.OOO In tainted or any lk other old medium male or female exchange 1 will found a self-supporting Institution that will gather the cream of the knockers, and your dreams will sea them no more. I can't say where you may leavs the money. Just signify some way that any worthy cause is open to your consideration and I will communicate again. I'm no Rus ... slan, and I can't use dynamite anway, It gives me the headache, besides this is'nt to causa you the least concern. Some publishers will pay as much for this as will keep mo a month. Perhaps Hearst will do even better, so please see that my reward Is Jn accord with my deserts. I will spend S cents for a Portland 'elegram on February 28, or Marci, :. nr some of those dates, and if I find Information "edu cated free," I know no one is sucker enough to answer' it, but I will "under stand the matter." I can write a hundred letters like this every day, but I won't work cheap. If publishers wunt them they must pay 1100 per gross, is as cheap as a dignified per son can work. Besides I want to Invest In some llgttl mnte enterprise and might, with proper in ducements, become a member of the Stan dard Oil company. So I will communicate with you when you signify. ' To the postmaster (personal); Pleaae read and burn. For I will find out how , you treat your correspo:icrn-.s, if you ex pose mc to the same embarrassment you ; will not get any more of my writing. I know you won't holler that loud, for every rrank who wishes to attract your atten tion, so trust this will not create a breeze. 1 really hate to burn this my owaself, as ' fvel is scarce in Nebraska, where I have a The "tale" of a shirt ia not as Important as the neck band, still we give It the same careful attentlou. .

Don't address me at No. 6 North Second street, for the police suspect that I didn't have a square meal for a month and are trying every device to fine me for being hunaVy. 1 paid a fine for carrying con cealed lunches and fear now that 1 can't pay the next fine, and what would people thinkT I got to make money some way, and if good Christiana will donate me 1100,000, or as many ciphers as they please to add, I will akin Johnny Harper a mile and leave him out of sight. Excuse me for further butting In, but If I sent the enclosed to some publishers and got into the habit of sending such letters you see it's only a question of a short while until I would wake up some morn ing and find myself famous, that Is pro vided I didn't get famous before I went to leep, and wnke up with a swelled head.

I don't want It, am It would plague me nearlv to death. n. v., o c. za. Body of Man is Found Under Bridge Mangled, the body ot an . unidentified man was discovered at 7 o'clock Saturday morning under the Union Pacific bridge by Henry Fries, watchman. The forehead was smashed, the face mutilated and both legs were broken. Evidently a tramp by his clothing, the' man had apparently been walking on the bridge and had been unable to get out of the way of a train. The fact that his legs were fractured leads to this belief. The man wore overalls and these and his trousers were tied round his body by a cord.. The body has been taken charge of by the coroner.

H. Kilbourne will act as chief quartermaster.

He first served as a messenger for the Pacific Express company between Omaha and St. Louis. He then went Into the auditing department and later was mado route agent.. For ten years he held the offloe as rout agent until his appoint ment as superintendent.

I Alimony Must Go Higher, Too Woman Demand Increased ' Allow ance from Divorced Husband Be came of Higher Cost of Living. The high cost of living is given as a reason why a court allowance to a woman from her divorced husband should be In creased. Mrs. . isapeua emitn secured a decree last August from Ernest J. Smith. She received alimony In a lump sum and $20 a month for the boarding and lodging of their two boys. Now Mrs. Smith comes Into district court again asking that the $20 be Increased to $10. Mrs. Smith declares that "since the decree was entered August 18. 1909, the cost of food and provisions and of rentals have so materially Increased that $20 la far too small a sum for the boarding and lodging of the said children, who are growing rapidly and fast attaining young manhood. and who have large and healthy appetites.'

Peterson of 1911 Farnam street "obtruded themselves," as BauHher puts It. What next happened Is not clear, but after a little Ba. usher says he felt a strange hand In his pocket. Extending a search from the hands up the arm to the body, he discovered that the hand belonged to 8mith. "I'm robbed, I'm robbed," cried Bausher in robust, sonorous tones. "Look on the floor on the floor," shouted the bartender. .' Bausher did discover four $5 bills under tl)e table and professed himself still out a similar sum. The police appeared and carried off tho quartet to the station. No more, bills were found, though Smith was searched. He was held for trial and later given ninety days. . '. Clara Brown, Peterson and Bausher were held to appear as witnesses against Smith, Miss Brown being detained and Bausher being allowed to withdraw. Chivalry Hla I'ndolaa;. Bausher wont back to th saloou. Here the bartender told Bausher that he cui'ht to go to the residence of Cora Weston, 613 North Seventeenth, to help iaUe ths money to get the Brown girl out of Jail.
