He Says Mercer
Will Come Back
Comei from Trip to Egypt with Story
Ex-Congressman Wants to Try
for Office Again.
Dave Mercer Is coming to Omaha and
run for congress, at least he told me he
was," said Charles Fanning, who returned
aturday from hla two months' trip to
Egypt, where h went with J. H. McDon
ald and Louis Metx. Mr. McDonald stop
ped for a couple of weiks In Paris to re
cuperate hla heAlth and Mr. Metx I return
ing via St. Louis and will arrive In a
couple of days. ..
'W had a most delightful trip, but I
don't believe I would care to take It again
because It la too hard to talk to the people
of the different countries and tell them
what you want It Is lots more satlsfac
tory In Omaha where you can get anything
you want," said the czar of the Dnhlmans
last night
The Dahlman club waa having a cele
bration In honor of the return of their
chief, but the chief failed to report so the
celebration went on just the same.
'It struck me more the farther we went
that we never saw an Amerrcan flair In our
travels. From the time wa left New York
until our return w saw Just one and that
whs on the private yacht of Mrs. Goelet at
Cannes. Not even the consular offices
abroad fly the flag of this country, ex
cept on holidays.
One of th prettiest places we visited
was the Madeira Islands. The town is
but on rocks which rls In terraces 2,000
feet above th sea with th terraces cov
ered with flowers. They took u up to the
town on a cog rail toad and brought us
down on sled which scooted over the
smooth lava pavements.
"Wo visited Naples, Alexandria, Cairo
and Port Bald. Cairo I a much different
city than before the British took hold, for
a man la perfectly safe there now, just as
safe a on Farnam street.
"On of thus pyramid has enough rock
and stone in It to build a whole city like
Omaha. I wondered where It all coma
from. We saw the ancient ruler of Egypt
In th museum and visited the town of
MesBlna where about a year ago 120,000 of
the 160,000 people who lived there were
killed by th earthquake."
Mr. Fanning says he took partloular no
tice of th pavements in all th countries
visited. In the old world the same ma
terials have been in use for agea, a lava
formation, but in London they are mora
and more using wooden blocks.

EXTREME LIMIT FOR DICKOUT
Early Morningr Bandit" Given Five
Years' Term.
YOUTH SAVES HIS BACON
Jndae Wheeler Impose Indetermin
ate Itstesre In State Reforma
tory at Anamoaa for
Desperado.
Herbert Dlckout. th "early morning
bandit" who attempted to hold up the K.
saloon on South Main atreet and waa
shot by C. A. Burrlght, the proprietor, was
sentenced by Judge Wheeler In district
court Saturday to an Indeterminate aen-
ence of not exceeding five years In the
state reformatory at Ananmosa. As Dlck
out Is only 23 years of age this was the ex
treme sentence that could be Imposed tip in
him. The charge under th- Indictment re-
urned against Dlckout was assault with
Intent to commltt robbery.
Dlckout when arraigned In district court
after his removal to the county jail from
Mercy hospital, where he was taken after
being shot by Burrlght, entered a plea of
not guilty. He changed his mind since and
after consulting with his attorney decided
to change his plea to on of guilty.
Dlckout before attempting the hold-up
at the K. C. saloon hela tip th bartender
at th Emmet house saloon and foroed
him to enter th Ice box while he robbed
the cash register. He also held up the
night operator at the Rock Island depot.
Th bullet which Dlckout received In the
shoulder from , Burrlght's revolver has
never been removed, as It was thought best
by City Physician Tubbs who attended
htm, that it should remain where It was
embedded in the flesh.
