SAMSON'S GOAT ON PARADE
New Member of Tniti'ntinn firvtr U
Taken to the Den.
REALIZES HIS IMPORTANCE
Dnrt AVcnvcr Declare that lie Looks
Pretty Oood, but that lie Must
Pnt On Mora tleah to tie
nt Ills llrat,
The now goat, purchased by Everitt
Buckingham, laborer. In the employ of
Samson, was majestically paraded through
the city at tho noon hour on his Journey
to the Ak-8ar-Ben den where he will be
given a private stall and several tons of
hay so that he will be sufficiently power
ful und husky on the opening night.
Juno 1, to fulfill his part of the Initiation
Ak-Sar-Beh program with proper vim
and vigor. The goat was perched high
on ono of Buckingham's wagons, stand
ing on the several tons of hay which he
is to masticate between now and J line 1,
hitched to a sample farm wagon about
three feet In length.
Tho goat evidently realized his future
Importance, for when hts private car
crossed Sixteenth and Farnam streets
he observed tho expressions of apprehen
sion of several faces belonging to sub-
4M. C V. A- 1.
acquaintance 'of the goat on June 1. To
show thorn that he was eagerly antici
pating an introduction to them tho goat
tried to butt the driver over the front
seat. Only sudden activities on the part
of the goat's bodyguard prevented serious
results. Then he tried to break the
wagon to bits, but was Intercepted once
more.
At the present time the goat looks
like the biggest one In captivity, but
Dad Wcver, who was on hand to get a
lank at him, Immediately announced that
ho must put on more weight. Also Dad
says a gymnasium will be Installed In the
den so that the goat can expand his mus
cles and harden his putting apparatus.
Tho goat received this announcement
with much eclat rind manifested in his
manner of disdain with which he viewed
tho congestion of populas at the Inter
section that he fully Intended to- be the
biggest noise In the Ak-Sar-Ben den
when he was called upon to perform.
Charge Against Lehm
for Shooting Dog is
Dismissed on Promise
Whether "Joey", a fox terrier owned by
tho children of John Kelson of Benson,
intended to bite Henry Lehm, 674J Hop
kins street, 11 years old, wuon the boy
shot tho little animal, was a question
placed before Juvenile Judge Sears.
Tho Judge, displaying tin Intimate
knowledge of dog nature, decided that
"Joey", though he had been accusod of
biting persons who passed by his. homo,
was not in a dangerous mood when he
was (Jain. Young Lehm and his brother
were protected by & bull dog and this
fact was taken In consideration by the
Judge. Tho evidence showed that the
little dog was running away when he
was shot.
Whether the Lehms or the Nelsons
were in the Tight was a question of mo
ment, because, according to the, evidence,
a neighborhood row of considerable di
mensions is in progress and several res
idents of that neighborhood were in court.
The judge ruled that a complaint was
properly brought against Henry Lehm,
but dismissed the case becauso he
promised to refrain from doing anymore
ihootlng.

SOCIALISTS TO ASK SINCLAIR
TO ADDRESS LOCAL MEETING

author, is to pass through Omaha shortly,

socialists to get him to stop here and
address a meeting before he goes on to
the scene of the strike troubles In Colo
rado. Sinclair was recently' Jailed in Now

IllK Concerns I'nya fop What They
line nt Knil of Bach Month,
"While the Sninll Taxpayer
Matt Vny in Advance.
Consumers ot tee are up In arms on ac
count of the discrimination that. Is being
made by the ice companies ot the city,
all of which chargo the same price. Hav
ing agreed upon the prices, It Is asserted
that tho plan smacks ot trust methods
and litigation is freely talked.
The local Ice companies have sent out
their notices and aro charging families
nnd small consumers at tho rate of 45
cents per hundred pounds, or P per ton.
Theso consumers say that they would
not object were they not compelled to pay
about throe times the price charged the
corporations. They point to tho fact that
the People's Ice company has Just en
tered Into a ten-year contract with the
Union raclflc, whereby It is to get Its
lco delivered In tho cars in the yards nt
the rate of $2-60 per ton.
Not only Is the Union Pacific- getting
cheap lco while the families are paying
top price, but other concerns aro being
put on the lists as favored ones. The
Rock Island road, that has a contract
that runs from year to year In paying at
tho rate of .J5 per ton, regardless ot
whether It takes 100 pounds, or a ton
dally.
Chrnp to Commission Men,
Tho railroads are not the only concerns
that are getting cheap Ice, while the
prlvato consumers are paying many times
the rate. For Instance, Hunter & Cheney,
commission men, buy ice of Shackleford
& Dickey and pay at the rate of 13.60 per
ton, regardless of whether they take lit
tle or much. It Is understood that most
of the commission houses pay the Hun
ter & Cheney rate, while to a few others
the price Is out CO cents per ton.
Then, too, these low rates are on a
basis of payment at tho end of the month,
the payment being for Ihe Ice taken,
thero being no money required In ad
vance.
With the private consumer a different
rule Is applied; with him it Is money
first and then the ice. Coupon books
are sold, tho coupon books being for 760
pounds. Every book has to be paid for
before a pound ot ice will be delivered.
Nash and Mayor in
Discussion Over the
Light Contract
K. A Nash of the Bleetrlo Ughtlng
company and Mayor Jam e. n,ihlnin
contorrcd at length In the mayor's of-
nee on the proposed street lighting con
tract. Following the conference the
mayor said:
"While tho matter Is to come tin Mnn.
day It will probably bo for discussion
only, as the council has not had enough
light on the question to Justify action
now
"There's no telling what will be dono
with It."
Commissioners aro Inell
action for somo time, giving the publlo
aj wen as themselves an opportunity to
discuss the proposed contract In detail.
