police department from thn Piiiim.n
Stevens Hardware company of Gurden,
Ark., and the chief or police of Texar
kana, of the same state, that Jack Kap
lan, formerly of Omaha, was shot down
and killed while attempting to beat his
way to .Omaha on a freight. It was re
quested that Omaha relatives be notified,
but so far the efforts to find the dead
man's people have been of no avail.
Word has been wired Texarkana for
full particulars of tho affair and as the
fact of a man being shot and killed for
attempting to steal a ride Is regarded
as decidedly suspicious by the local force.
Many Come Here to
Do Christmas Buying
Incoming trains yesterday brought
the largest crowds of any time since the
Ak-Sar-Ben festival season. Every train
from the east brought a goodly number
of students who are returning to spend
the holiday vacation with their parents.
So far as out-of-town shpppers were
concerned, it is doubtful if there was
ever one day when more of them came
to Omaha. All of the morning trains
carried extra coaches, arl even then
standing room was at a premium. They
came from Iowa and Nebmska and some
from as far away as the northern part of
Missouri.

Max is Caught as
He Takes Funds Out
of Church Poor Box
Max Krecksteln, 1404 Douglas, but lately
arrived from "Dear Old Russia," evi
dently accepted tn a literal sense that
libelous statement concerning our fair
land, which runs something about "the
land of the free," and as a result took It
upon himself to appropriate the contents
of the poor box which hangs In tho lobby
of the B'Nal Jacobs' synagogue at Twen
ty-fourth and Nicholas.
Max for several nights passed has vis
ited this box, forcing the lock and carry
ing away the money. J. FlnkoKteln and
several other members scoured a quartet
of officers and watched the synagoguo
and were fortunate enough to rapture
the prowler. At police headquarters in
fragmentary English Max declared he
was not stealing, but putting money In
the box. - He Is being held ponding an in
vestigation of his mental state.

Of nubile MChrwila BFAflA tmiphari ntiil n
I large number of tho pupils were entlsled
to sell tickets In schools to a series of
Picture lectures bv Frnnlc ltnliernon. tho
majority of the tickets worn returned
and some of the principals In the larger
schools reported that only seventeen
tickets could bo sold. One Inrge school
invested 31.90 in nineteen tickets.
Altogether in two weeks 3100 worth of
tickets were sold, although the school
authorities who violated their. own ruling
that no vender should sell his wares In
sohool or canvass teachers or use the
schools as an advertising medium, be
lieved at least 31,500 would be socurod.
The schools will receive about S0 for tho
labor and time of the principals, teachers
and pupils, many of whom were used na
messenger boys.
. Roberson appeared at the superintend
ent's office to count his change, which
had been sent In by tho principals In
packets, along with tho unsold tickets.
Presldnt E. Holovtchlner of the Board
of Education said the campaign to sell
the tickets "had not been worth while."
Ho was In tho superintendent's offlco

self In the lectures. Tho teachers' com
mittee of tho school board managed the

of cleanliness, have been convicted of
adulterating milk and after conviction
continued to adulterate milk, being will
ing to pay a small fine rather than quit
watering the milk."

who has become Informed as to the work
of one of these dairies, will Join with
