, Town Meet After 49 Years
Tulsa. Old., Aug. 16. The other
day D. F. Park agreed to answer the
telephone calls for his sons, who are
in the baggage business, as they had
to be out on engagements. The
sons have a booth near F,risco depot
' here.
Mr. Park was busy, but1 was not
too busy, despite his 78 years, to
notice a spry old gentleman, who
. walked up and down the station plat
' form, watching him. After thisf, had
continued for some time he ap
proached the stranger and said:
"Do you mind telling me where
. you came from?"
'Not in the least I am from Mis
souri." said the stranger, wifh a
smile.
"What part?" asked Mr. Park.
I too, am a Missourian."
"I came from Crawford county,"
said the older man.
, "So did I." shouted Mr. Park.
After little more conversation
it developed, they were brothers
who: hud not seen each other since
' they parted 49 years ago. No word
had passed between D. F. Park, and
his brother, Samuel, now 80, since
they left Crawford county. '

FORMER SLEUTH
DETECTS WAY TO
BEAT THE MARKET
Once Officer of Chicago De
tective Department, Now
Can Sign Name to $750,
000 "Check.
Chicago, Aug. 16. Four months
ago Walter J. O'Brien struggled
for a living as a detective. Out
sjde of his work and his home, the
detective's world was limited to the
corner lunch room at the noon hour
and an occasional movie with his
wife of an evening.
Todav O'Brien can sign his name
to a check for half a million dollars
without fear of overdrawing his
bank account. He has ceased work
as a detective and has stepped forth
as a man of means. He is Chica
go's newest financial wizard.
On a figurative shoe string, the
former .policeman and detective has
cleaned up a fortune estimated at
$750,000 within the last few months.
The stsry of his sudden rise to
wealth is a romance of the stock
market.
Scorns Tips; Plays Safe.
He doesn't plunge with his money;
rather lieN proceeds guardedly and
plays no tips. His 'system of play
ing the market has insured him
against a single loss to -date.
Pursuit of an investigation as a
detective into the merits of a cer
tain stock led him into the market
and made for him his fortune. Out
of an investment of $1,000 he took
a single profit of $250,000 on the
strength of information on a certain
stock gathered for a client of his
agency.
He doesn't worry any more
about making both ends" meet at
the close of the month. Only the
other day he cancelled his $2,000
life insurance with the Policemen's
Benevolent Association and took
another policy for $100,000 in one
of the large insurance companies.
Wealth Brings Wife Joy.
Mrs. O'Brien, too, basks in her
husband's wealth. She has moved
from the 'cramped apartment that
used to be thebane and worry of
her young life mto a spacious sum
mer home at one of the big sea
shore resorts. O'Brien bought and
paid for the place out of his stock
market winnings. There are serv
ants now to look after the work that
formerly kept Mrs. O'Brien busy.
The high cost of living no longer
bothers her. She has ceased track
ing down the bargain counters.
Friend husband's handy check book
now pays for the tailored gowns and
frocks that take the place of "store"
garments.
"I made it all in stock market
speculaiton," he says. "It wasn't
altogether luck. I won by hard
work and lots of thinking. I didn't
play the game blindly, like most
people that speculate do. I pro
ceeded with caution and investigated
securities and won."
Art Gems ot Nation's
Capitol Are Retouched
After Half a Century
Washington, Aug. 16. After more
than 50 years of service the mural
deceptions in the United States
capitol are being given a new dress.
When the republicans returned to
power in congress they made some
radical steps in the matter of main
tenance of the Capitol and one of the
most radical was the issuance of an
order that the mural decorations be
redone. For jnore than 30 years
Brumedi, an Italian aratist, jjrorked
on mural decorations of the cJpitol
building. The work was completed
during the Civil war times and has
not been touched since. An aartist
is nov at work retouching all of the
mural decorations and bringing out
some of the works of art that have
gone unnoticed for years because of
heavy coats of dirt. Whether this
artist will be able to finish the work
is a matter of political conjecture,
because it is estimated that it would
take five years to complete the
retouching, and who knows whether
the republicans will remain in office
that long?
Another radical step by the repub
licans was the opening of the mar
ble baths in the senate office build
ing, emocrats kept these baths
nailed up tight and contented them
selves with the large marble bath
tub that was used by Webster.
Now the more modern baths with
a fine mable swimming pool are
open every day and of course, Sat
day nights.
Not at First Succeeding,
Centenarian Tries Eighth
Dalton, Ga., Aug. 16. "Uncle
Bob Kjiox, Mexican war veteran,
poet and the marryingest person in
Georgia, again is in trouble. De
spite his optimism, his eighth ven
ture in matrimony has not been a
continuous path of roses, as a suit
in court in Murray county shows.
"Uncle Bob" is nearaing the cen
tury mark. He was married for the
eighth time several weekj ago.
Now an effort is being made to
annul the marriage, and his wife is
fighting it and asked for alimony.
Plan tjo Illuminate 75
Miles of Colorado Road
Denver, Colo., Aug. 16. The road
between Colorado Springs and Den
ver, a distance of 75 miles, is to be
illuminated that is if the plans of
the State Highway commission are
fulfilled According to the chairman
of th" commission, it will be the only
one of its kind in the world.
Trucks aand other road building
equipment recently secured from
the War department will be used in
making the improvements.
Apple Crop Brings $19,000.
Marionville, O., Aug. 16. Ira D.
McCullah, who works for the Frisco
railroad at Springfield. Mo., iias sold
the fruit from his 60-acre orchard
near here for $19,000. This is one
of the first big sales of the 1919
apple crop from the Ozark orchards.
Apples of Ben Davis variety are
grown on 40 acres of the ' orchard
and the remaining 20 acres are in
Ingram trees. McCullah purchased
the orchard at $40 per- acre.

MAY WIRTH COMING WITH
BIG CIRCUS.
An entire stable of horses is car
ried by May Wirth, famous bareback
rider, who is this season touring
with Ringling Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey Combined Shows, and who
js the foremost of the great con
solidation's array of . equestrienne
stars. Miss Wirth's stable numbers
14 steeds of Arabian and Australian
stock. They are divided between
the lighter and swifter type of
equine and the broad-backed whites
and dapple-grays. i
The speed a which Miss Wirth
works her mounts while performing
in the ring, requires a frequent
change of horses. Otherwise they
would become dizzy. It is the
rapidity with which Miss Wirth per
forms double somersaults, "flips"
from one galloping horse to an
other, cart-wheels from ground to
mount or jumps from the ring floor
to the back of swiftly moving steed
with baskets tied to her feet, that
make this remarkable girl's riding
supreme among equestriennes. She
is the greatest woman rider that
has ever lived.
Miss Wirth is but one of the great
features selected for presentation in
the stupendous program . of the
Ringling Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Shows. "Bigness
and quality" is the keynote of the
great combination. There will be
"more of everything" than has ever
before been presented the Ameri
can public. The circus will exhibit
here at Twentieth and Paul streets,
Friday, August 29.

teacher of Washington, 'ga'e her
life in an effort to rescue hervpet
dog from in front of a trolley car

with Miss Johnson, and ran in front
of an advancing car. I
As the car did not stop in re
sponse to her scream, the teacher
sprang upon the track to snatch her
pet from danger. She brushed the
dog out of harm's way, but was not
quick enough to escape herself, and
was ground beneath the wheels. She
died on the way to the hospital.
The dog set up a plaintive howl
when the teacher was crushed.
Patrick Reilly, the motorman,
was, held for action by the.Grand
Jury on a technical charge of man'
slaughter. Miss Johnson was grad
nated from Smith College in 1906
She was 34 years of age.

fairs is the rule rather than
the exception at the big sani
tary bathing Nfiool and white sand
beach at Krug park. Every morn
ing finds hundreds of the fair sex
of Omaha enjoying the conveni
ences and the pleasures of the new
feature at the park and even the
comparatively cool weather of the
past week or 10 days has not
seemed to effect the crowds in the
least. The afternoon and evening,
crowds for the same period have
been even greater than before siace
the hot sun does"not burn quite s6
severely as when the thermometer
registers higher.
After bathing the picnic grounds
is generally sought and the good
things provided to appease the ap
petite of the inner man, rapidly
disappears for one is certainly hun
gry after a dip in the fresh, pure,
sterilized water of the bathing pool.
The mornings, except Saturdays
and Sundays, are reserved exclusive
ly for women and children.
Today is expected to see one of
the largest crowds of the season at
Manawa park, as the annual outing
of Scandinavian families and the an
nual outdoor concerts of the Singers'
Society Norden will be given at the
resort today. These combined
events have come to be one of the
biggest events of the year in Omaha
outdoor amusements.
The Singers' Society Norden,
largest male chorus in the middle

noon and evening in the bandstand
at the park. A picnic luncheon and
enjoyment of the pleasures afforded
by the big resort are other features
of the outing. The general public
has been invited.
Aviator. A. J. Nielsen will make
flights over the park as a part of the'
celebration. He has been making
daily flights at Manawa for several
weeks, carrying a number of passen
gers. ' The warm days of August con
tinue to bring crowds to Manawa,
where the bathing is the besjn
years. The park itself is more
beautiful at this time of the season
than at any other, because the large
beds of flowers lining the walks and
drives at the park are in bloom and
are looking -their best. '
i
Prompted by' a great number of
requests, the management of the
popular Lakeview Park has been
literally forced to accede to what
has assumed the proportions of a
general demand on the part of the
park's many patrons to stage a
Mardi Gras ball, which has been one
of the big fun features of other
seasons. Two "surprise packages"
will be opened during the evening
which, the management state, will
be the source of much fun. Favors
and souvenirs, as well as all the
accessaries for a real Mardi Gras
will be furnished without charge to
all. Next Wednesday evening has
been selected to stage the Mardi
Gras ball. Ned Miller, Chicago's
famous syncopating singer will as
sist with a program of well selected
musical numbers from among Wat-
Lerson Berlin and Snyder's famous
song successes.
