'MIKING' CASE
ji Police Judge Gives John Mur-
phy and James Davis Term
i in Jail- on Charge
' of Vagrancy.
Peculiar Freak of Tornado
Showing Wind's Great Power
Following testimony in police
-vurt yesterday morning that John
Murphy, Kansas City, and James
Davis, Hutchison, Kan., alleged
"con" men, attempted to swindle
Jens Andrewi, alias John Hunt,
farmer, of Boone county, Nebraska,
out of $5,000, the police judge sen
tenced both to 90 days in jail each
in a charge of vagrancy.
Both men denied attempting to
sell the farmer a seat in the Grain
exchange. Murphy and Davis were
arrested Saturday noon at Nine
teenth and Farnam streets after
they had told Andrews of the wealth
to be obtained in the Grain exchange
on a capital of $5,000.
Andrews told the court that
Murphy introduced himself as "Mr.
Hunter, dealer in tractors."
"Judge, he wanted to take me
sightseeing about the city, then
show me a demonstration of tractors
west 'of Benson, but I didn't have
time to go," Andrews said. After

Lemons Beautify!
Make Quarter Pint
. of Lotion, Cheap
... AAA AAt. AA A A A A A A AA A,t
What girl or wman hasn't heard
of lemon, juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to bleach the skin and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irri
tating and should be mixed with or
chard white this way. Strain through
fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and com
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of or
dinary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
ihe bottle, then this lotion will re
main ' pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoothen and beauti
fy the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very
little cost and the grocer has the
lemons. Adv.

Council Talks City
Building Insurance;
Adjourns to See Ruins
Headed by Mayor Ed P. Smith,
members of the city council were on
the scene of the tornado disaster
early yesterday morning. On motion
of Commissioner Ure, the council ad
journed early a committee of the
whole and repaired in automobiles
to the various sections of the city
visited by the storm to offer their
services in relief work.
The only subject submitted for
attention at the meeting was the
matter of insurance on city build
ings. Following a brief discussion
the Question was referred to the in
surance committee with instructions
tg prepare a detailed report for a
subsequent meeting.
The question of city insurance has
been before the council several
times recently, and following a de
cision sometime ago that the city
should carry its own insurance 6n
automobiles owned by the municipal
ity, the majority of the members of
the commission have indicated their
belief in a plan to apply the same
rule to other city owned property.

G, OF C. INDORSES
BOULEVARD AS
HERO MEMORIAL
System to Be Beautified by
Monuments of Characters
of Middle West , and
War Veterans.
"The Argonne Drive," a me
morial boulevard system marked at
intervals with tiny parks or beauty
spots and .additionally beautified by
monuments to leading characters of
the middle west, such as Colonel
Cody, or Buffalo Bill, received the
hearty endorsement of the" Cham
ber of Commerce good fellowship
committee, as a fitting memorial to
soldiers and sailors of the great
war. Discussion of this subject oc
cupied the committee's meeting
Monday noon.
H. O. Wilhelm, chairman, was in
structed to name a committee to, set
wheels into motion looking toward
the attainment of the memorial.
Proposed Another Birdge.
Another bridge over the Missouri
river, uniting Iowa and Nebraska,
was the suggestion of Frank H.
Myers. ''Another bridge would do
away with the excessive toll
despotism," he said.
A children's hospital was another
suitable memorial proposed. The
good fellowship committee has gone
on record as pledged to support
such an institution. Dr. J. T. Max
well will give a report on this mat
ter at the meeting next Monday.
J. L. Ferciot and J. M. Gillan
made pleas for concentrating effort
for a memorial to the soldiers to
something which will really be a
lasting memorial.
"Let's get away from the utili
tarian point of view. If we erect a
memorial bridge, in 10 years people
will forget it's a memorial and think
its only a bridge," said Gillan.
