The life history of Thomas

Utah, mining region 35 years ago,
with nothing but strength and de
termination, he delved into the hid

the reputation of being Utah's
wealthiest man. Trior to his min-
-1 ing ventures in this state he had

stone, Ariz.
I The famous Silver King mine of
i Park City and the name of Thomas
j Kearns were always linked together
I and many of this city's biggest
' structures were erected with funds
which came from the Silver King
property. Mr. Kearns was elected
to the United States senate in 1901
i and served four years. He was
owner of the Salt Lake City Trib
jne and leaves a fortune estimated
at several millions of dollars.

boast, among friends, that he rose
from a ditch digger to the United
States senate.
After leaving O'Neill he came to
- Omaha and lived in this city for a
time. When Count Creighton, Wil
liam Canada and the late Colonel
Cody were boon companions in the
old days Senator Kearns would stop
it Omaha and visit with these men

Problems.
Two Young Boys Held
. Charged With Robbing Store
Mrs. Alice Flinn, 4004 North Thirty-fourth
avenue, reported ro police
that thieves entered her store, at
the above address, Friday afternoon,
by crawling through the basement
window, during her absence, and
stole a quantity of small change,
mostly silver.
Two young boys living in the
neighborhood, were arrested Fri
day evening, and turned over to
Probation Officer Gus Miller,
charged with the offense.
They are Harry Haslock, 4925
North Thirty-fourth avenue, 11
years old, and Edward Wyer, 15
years old, 3534 Taylor' street.
Albert W. Jefferis. republican
candidate for congress from the Sec
ond district, addressed a gathering
of Sarpy county voters last night on
the porch of the hotel in Papillion.
Although the weather was un
favorable for such an occasion, the
attendance was fair and all listened
attentively to the speaker.
"The overshadowing proposition
today is Americanism," Mr. Jef
feris began. "We are all demonstrat
ing our responsibility to the presi
dent in this great crisis. It is a
glory to the nation that men of all
classes have been guided by their
best thought and have s!:own tha?
they can work together a a great
brotherhood should work.
Uphold Rights of Human.
"There never has been a time
when there was so much unanimity
of determination to uphold the
American flag and all that it stands
for. We are proud to say that men
of all parties have put their shoul
ders together to support the gov
ernment, to liberate mankind from
the threatened thralldom of an un
scrupulous enemy.
"If I would try to analyze the
American spirit, it would be to say
that we believe in the fundamental
rights of human beings and to ob
tain for all that happiness, peace
and contentment to which the hu
man family is entitled. That is the
great object and purpose of human
government.
"When this war shall be over, we
are necessarily going to see a re
construction throughout the world.
Peace Through Victory.
"America is going to have a great
merchant marine. We may rest as
sured that the high seas is going to
see the American bottom to an ex
tent never realized, and this will
open up new avenues of enter
prise. "Peace will come only through
victory, because a real peace can
not be assured while a military
power exists. With all of these
questions coming, it seems to me
that American citizenship should be
expressed to the end that the great
body of mankind are brothers in
fact as well as in name."
This the Last War. '
Senator G. W. Norris followed Mr.
Jefferis. He stated that evolution has
been the history of civilization, and
that there never has been a forward
step but which was accompanied
by sacrifice.
"The advance of government and
happiness has gone on more rapidly
in the new world than in the old,"
the senator stated. "We have de
cided to make this the last war and
it must be fought to a permanent
peace, as permanent as the ingen
uity of man can make it. It is the
highest purpose that ever moved
the mind of jnan. Slavery and
demon war are both relics of bar
barism.' The partnership between
the kaiser and God must be dis
solved." He urged support of Lib
erty bonds.
Greeks Reclaim Land.
Saloniki, Oct. 18. Greek troops
today completed tru reoccupation of
the regions of Greek Macedonia,
which have been held by the Bulgar
ians and Turks.

Judge Orders Boys to Stop
Bothering Kelpin Home
Boys in the neighborhood around
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.
Kelpin must quit worrying the Kel
pins by fastening cats to their back
door, breaking the shrubbery, de
stroying the lawn, damaging their
automobile and throwing plaster on
the windows, was the verdict render
ed by Judge Troup in juvenile court
yesterday. The action was brought
by Kelpin, who charged that he and
his wife were continually annoyed
by children in the vicinity of their
home, Forty-first and Cass streets.
On the other hand, Mrs. Kelpin
was charged with shooting a re
volver from her home Saturday
night to scare the boys away,

volver and keep it out of the house.
