DEPRESSED OVER DIFFICULTIES
Tonne Parkins Hoih Laborer,
After PomrMlc Troubles, Pre
ented from Enli Ills
Hie by Officer.
Depressed over domestic difficulties,
Charles Brown, a young white mui em
ployed at the packing houses, wm ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Chief of
detectives James Sheahan, who Inter
cepted Brown on his way to tha Missouri
river, where he said he meant to end hl

tion to end his life. He told her of his
troubles and of his desire to escape them.
He explained that he would drown him
self In the Missouri.

Stockmen Are, Handicapped.
Despite the dally assurances that tvery
thlng la lovely and that there Is no cause
for dissatisfaction over the money mar
ket, stockmen from the state and many
doing business here In South Omaha are
beginning to wonder when conditions will
change. Bankers out In the state are
charging 10 per cent on renewals and will
not lend any money except for running
expenses and that at a high rate of In
terest, according to ranchmen coming here
to market.
In South Omaha on the Live Stock ex
change many of the dealers with money
tied up have had to sit by without ready
cash. The banks shut down on loans on
cattle at the beginning of the war and
they have not opened up to any notice
able extent to date.
Complaints are bitter among men who
have done business with banks for years
now that they must put up with the re
fusal of a loan from the same banks.
Said one man yesterday: "Before the
democrats were in it was the high tariff
which caused high prices and high inter
est. After the democrat got in it was the
unsettled condition of business. Now it is
the war. In between it is the scarcity of
cattle."
Elarhtb. Grade at Jong-man.
Petitions looking to tl.e creation of an
eighth grade in Jungman school and the
retention of Miss Margaret OToole at
the head of the school are being cir
culated by residents of the Jungman
school district. The addition of a new
grade will give the principal an addition
in salary.
Miss O Toole has been at the head of
Jungman school for some years and Is
highly regarded by the patrons of the
school. Besides her work at the head of
the school sha has won much praise for
her quiet work among the poor and un
fortunate of the district.
' " " A year ago she arranged for the keep
ing of a very small child whose mother
was compelled to go to the packing house
during the day. Another child would have
had to stay home from school to take care
of the Infant. Miss O' Toole saw that the
older child went to school and herself
took care that the youngest did not want
for food or warmth during school hours.

Snroule save him a good slied bill and
thanked him. When Johnnie returned to
the office he was all smiles from his
experience.
'Gee!" he exclaimed to the other hoys.

don't think it could ever be counted. He
slipped me a bill that nearly doubled my
week's pay."
