AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Citizens Eager to Take Advantage of Their Present Opportunity. WILL ADVERTISE THEIR PROSPERITY Mamfold Advantages of the Magic City to e Properly Sot Before the Reading Pablic—Won, Grit of Lit- tle Tommy Wright, An enthusiastic mosting of South Omaha property owners was hold at the Stook man office on Twenty fourth streat last night. The objoct of the meeting as stated by President oo of the Board of Trado was to devide ways and means to advertise South Omaha in order to derive the greatost possi blo benefit from the projected finprovements at tho stockyards and packinge houses. The matter was discussod informally and at some length. Mr. Berry favored tho in sertion of advertisemenis in the Omaha pavers, showing the amount of money to be oxpended in improvoments during the com. ing season, what it was to be oxpended on and the number of additional men Who could find employment, Healso advised the use of circalars, Mr, MoMillan thought that the time was ripe for the Magic City to take nlong stride forward, and advertising was the principal means by whtch this object should be accom plished. The real estate and business men of South Omaha should respoud liberally to a call for funds for that purpose. Mr. C. C. George of the Potter & George company of Omaha, who was present, was of 1he opinion that a large number of loeals run n the Omal pers for o considerablo period would be more effective than larger advertisements apponring ot intervals, Mr. Doe agreed with this {dea. adding that his attention was first called to Omaha in 1834 by & clipping _from Tur Osina Bee which he read in a Massachusetts paper. Mr. George also advised that a close wateh should be kogt on tho city government, All strangers Wwho thought of making invest- ments would first inquire as to the city taxes and improvements, and 1t was important that the lowest scalo of taxes compatible with liberality in the way of improvements should be mantained. It was finally concluded to appoint a com mittee of six, to be divided into three sub- committees, to solicit subscriptions to defray the exbense of an extensive systom of adver- tising, and a committee of threo to devise the most effective means of dissemicating infor mation in regard to the resources and prob- able future of the city. President Doo took the spoointment of the committees under advisement ana will make them public Monday. The meeting nd- journea subject 1o the call of the committee. You RITTY. Remurkable Nerve Shown hy a Boy Under Pecullarly Painfal Circumstance Another sad accident was added to those which have occurred at the Q crossing of the Union Pacific tracks at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tommy Wright, the 14 year-old son of James Wright, Twenty-ninth and G streets, Was run over by a_northbound freight train and soverely injured. His right leg was crushed below the knee and his head was baaly cut aud bruised. The injured boy was taken to the police station and a messenger sent for his_father, who is employed in the oil room at Swift & Co.’s packing house. When the father ar- rived Drs, Kirkpatrick and Kelly were ex- aminfdg the crushed limbh, - The s:reams of the child totally unnerved the father. “For God's sake, Tommy, don’t take on so, you'll break my hoart"’ he sobbed, “All right, " father, [ won't,” replied ‘Tommy, and the bravoe little fellow resolutely gritted histeeth and bore -the terrible pain without another moan. He was immediately taker home, where the Injured leg was ampu- tated. ‘The boy had just taken his father’s supper to the packing house and was on his way home up the track when the accident oc- curred. It1ls thought that he tried to catch @ side ladder on the train and fell under the wheels. He will probably recover.

CnicaGo, T, Feb, 13.--The Inter Ocean ‘Washiogton special says: President Polk waa found in his oftice in the Atlantic buud- Ing. When shown the Inter Ocoan’s expos- ure of the cordage trust, he was first inclined 1o be reticent on the subject, “My babit,”" he said, “‘as president of the alliance has been when adoubtis in my mind to give the alllance the beuetit of it. The truth is, that in February last, Oswald Wil- 80n came to me and unfolded the schome of the alliauce entering into busiuess relatioas with the National Union company. | refused to recommend it at that time or on any 000As- fon subsequent to it. It was & matter in which I had no jurisdiction anyway, ana 1 did not care to be led into any “lobs. Later on when the campaign was on in lowa and Kansas, aud I was ou @ stumpiog tour 1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEIl those states, 1 was asikod by a_Kansas friend about the National Union feompany and Ireplied that I kaew nothing about it. “'Why," said be, “‘yov are named as chair man of the committes of three on the part of the alliance in a circalar. I have 1t in my possession, but not with me,” I asked him to send me the ecircular, and informed him that at no time had I endorsed the National Union company, and I presumed that the names of the other gentlemen found on the circular had been placed there with out their knowledge, “Later on the cir.ular was received by me. 1 wroto to the president of the company call- ing his attention to the fact that my name was being used without my personal consent and received a reply that the matter would be inquired into and rectified, but it has not been,” & Senator Peffer glanced his ege over the Inter Ocenn, slowly stroxed his beard, still more loisurely, as he read it, and then very deliberately observed that he did hot know as he cared to talk on the subject matter. He relented, howaver, as he poodered, and re- read certain paragraphs and said: ‘“Wheth- or tho Inter Ocean article is fonnded on fact or uot, I am not inclined to discreait in ad vance of thoe facte received, it is quite possi ble that some of the alliance people have been overreached. It would be straoge if they had not. The alliance is beset on every hand by allezed business philanthropists,who are rich with schemes to ald tha farmer. Persons who do not suspect their ulterior motives are liable to be taken in. Then again, men have crept into'the alliance who are there for ravenue only. 1 do not think that the alliance will authorize an investiga- f1on of the Inter Ocean's charges, and | do not think either that the alliance is going to be captured by the National Cordage trust. 1f the trust ean furnish its goods oheaper than any otber firm, 1 866 no objection to the alliance trading with them. 1 do not under- stand it to be proved that any conspiracy was contemplated ut any time botween the alli- ance on the ono hand and the National Cordage company on the other, The farmer tis in great daistress. He sces combines made on every article that ho roisos, He naturally supposes that the way to help himself and improve his condi- tion is to combine also. This is probably one of the rensons why some alliauce mon have joined hands with the Natioual Union.”” Dr. C. W, McCune, when the inter Oc corrospondent entered his presence, i tively understood the object of his errand. I do not know as 1 care to sav anything to the Inter Ocean,’ he said, I read this morn- ing extracts from the article of February 10. 1 will admit that I was at the meeting at Ceredos, and I went to that meseting de- termined to probe the scheme of the National Union_people to the bottom, 1 am frank enough to say that after hearing the plan of the company and_investizating the company itself, I saw nothing in the way of the al liance accepting 1ita terms. Tho plan pro- lmed was a decided improvement on the Rochtlale plan in that nomoney was reguired on the part of the alliance, and in addition to that the stores secured a rebate on all goods purchased. To my mind the alliance would lose nothing. The agreemont further made was that the company was Lo meet all compe- tition and then sell their goods at a lower price. What -the farmer wants is to buy what he needs at the lowest possible market price and sell what he has to sell at the high- eat market price. ‘That is all | have to say en the subject. I think the National Union is all right.” Hon. Jerry Simpson smd: *‘Yes, the al- liance nade a narrow escape from getting 1nto the clutches of a gigantio trust, but the scheme was happily discovered in tirue, and when_the allinnce people met in convention last November in Indianapolis the National Uniton company went under. In my opinion there were men in the alliance anxious to sell the order over for a consideration in this mattor, and they will be ferroted out, if they have not been found out of yet,which I think they have.” e ——— A VINDICTIVE BLACKMAILER. The Agent of a Disreputable Sheet Vents His Spleen Upon the B January 23 tho following editorial appeared in Tur Bee: SHORMAKER SHOULD IR SUSTAINED, Every respectable and lawabiding citizen of Omaha will concedo that tho efforts of ex- Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker to ou- force the laws and ordinances against tho salo of obsceno papers are commendable. Whatover may bo the outcome of the court proceedings to punish Mr. Shoemaker for contempt, the sentiment of the conmunity is in favor of the suppression of filthy papers that thrive on scandal and pander to the de- praved appetite of peoplo for highly-colored and sensational reports of tho doings of the brothel, assignation house and wine room. When the agents and correspondents of such dirty shoets make it a practice to levy blackmail upon men and women by throaten- 1ng them with exposure of some {udiscretion they or their relatives may have committed or have been suspocted of, und when these wrotohes peddle nut libelous stories and hold them as clubs over the heads of public_offi- cials charged with onforcing tho laws, it is incumpent upon the community to back the officials and demand that they do their whole dnty regardloss of consoquences. Tho Omohu representative of a nasty pub- lication impudontly boasts that his sheet does not claim to bo respectable, but urges that “it1s logal and contains far superior mattor to that founa in_the Polico Guzette and Police Nows.’ He further deciares that “thera is no crime committed excopt when the paper 15 sold to minors.” A mun who appeals on such grounds for public sym- pathy has a very low standard of morals. “Tho Police Gazette and the Polico Nows may be inferior to tho Kansas City sheet in point of digging up salacious stories that have long passod from the memories of men. Those papors simply deal in reports of current crime and sporting news of tho day. They are not hawked 1n the street, and do not em- ploy or countenance reporters or agents that make a living by runsacking tho secrot closets of ‘private, noffensive and oven woll- behaved citizens for skeletons and holding victims up for a ransom. “The plea that tho law cannot be violated excopt by the salo of indecont literature to minors is puerile, Tue fact that tho indecent Kansas City shoet has boun sold on the strect corners by newsboys affords amplo proof of its salo to thom as minors and would so be regarded 1 any court of justice, Down in Kausas City tho peoplo have sought protection from professional libelors and blackmailers through the grand jury and 1t may be that we shall have to emulate their oxample in Omaha. To subject the peoplo of this city to systematio dofamation that ju- vades the family circle Incites violence and, soonor or later, 1s liable to result in & bloody tragedy.

A series of these articles, covering the case fully, appeared in Tie Bie, snd, as1s the custom in these newspaper headquarters, wheu the subject was exbausted further ref: erence ceased. The story invented by the Kansas City sheat Is Inconsistont, self-contradictory, false aud idiotic_on its face. The preposterous foature of it was 1o its concluding portion, wherein it was stated that O'Brien was not treated right by Tux Bk and felt disgrantlea because he had not been nromoted. It is true that shortly after O'Brien had finished his assignmeiit on_ tke oil luvestiga- tion he quit the service of Tue Bex ana did not tell anyone where he proposed to go.

It has been a life to which a peculiar interest attaches, by reason of the fact that the experiences of Mrs. Dow have been varied. Her career has been av times brightened by the sublime of suc- cessful achievement ard has been at other times darkened by shadows that her pataway when lenst ex- same persevering, plucky little woman, at all times commanding and_generally recsiving the sincere sywpathy of her sex. The tender henrt of woman natur- ally goes out to struggling sistorhood, and the women of the United States will find much in the life of this young woman to intorest them and increase their natural anxiety to seo her event- ually erowned with succoss, both in her profession and in private life. Mrs, Millie Price-Dow was born in Catherine street, Strang, London, Eng- land, on July 4, She developed into a precocious child. She was bright, apt and iwmitative. Children like her were rave, and her brightness and pre- cocity outlined her future career—that of a theatrical performer—for:it is on the ulu‘ge that precocity, beauty nnd tal- ont find their surest and richest reward, Mirs, Price-Dow made her appearance before the public at the tender age of 6 years. The little mite of an actress was wonderfully gilted, and her succ i her favorite line has steadily increased from that day to this. Whatever da k- some shadows fato y have cast over her domestic life. her public career has been one of unexampled success. The play in which she first appeared was a version of Victor Hugo's *‘Les les.” It was given at the Duke’s Holborn, h Clarence Holt 1n the principle role. Between the sec- ond and third act La Petite Millie ap- peared in o terpsichorsan specialty known as the Zephyr Dance. The grac and agility that have characterized her dancing since were observable even at that early age, and hev first appearance was a genuine success from a juvenile standpoint. Her next appearance was at the Surrey Theater, south side of London, where she appeared 18 Arthur in “Queen’s Kvidence,” with the late Harry Jackson. During the action of the drama she danced a sailor’s horn- pipe, giving it ol the rhythmic action that belongs to that graceful dance. Her talents had attracted the atten- tion of many prominent London theatri- cal managers and she accepted an en- gagement of George Conquest, appear- ing in the character of Lucy in “Hand and Glove”” She had now reached the age of 12 yeurs, and was famous as the greatest child actress and dancer Lon- don had ever known. Her power of memory was one of her greatest accomyplishments, for at the age of 6 years she memorized and played the part of Little Cosette, in which there were more than a hundred lines, For this remarkablo achievement she re- ceived unstinted praise from the London critics, who ave always sparing of lauda- tory sentences about even the most ac- complished actors and actresses. One critic after pronouncing her a phe- nomenon, declared that she was the best reader of lines for her age that ths Lon- don stage had cver known. After her *Hand and Glove” engage- ment she made a successful tour of the provinces with Fred W. Sydn: She uppeared on this tour as Avthur in “Queen’s Evidence.” 'I'he tour lasted twelve months and established her vep- utation firmer than ever as a deserving public favorite. Upon the conelusion of this engage- ment she was immediately engnged by Gieorge Sanger to appear in a Christmus pantomime to bo given at Sanger’s theater. It was here that she made her first appearance as a vocalist, and fully demonstrated that her stage talents weve of & very versatile order. She layed the part of the captain in *Dick Whitington” with the same success that had greeted her provious efforts. Then she went to Drury Lane theater, appearing us Polly in a magnificent pro- duction of **Robinson s0e.” It was here and at this time that she originated the song and dance, **Pretty Angelina,” which proved to be the hit of her career, and in which she had so many imita- tions, but no equals. At the conclusion of this engngement she was engaged to appear at the Al- hambra, the Trocadero and the Pavilion in her singing and dancing specialties. She appeared atall of these places on the same night, at different hours, and 80 great was her popularity with the patrons of these popular places of amuse- ment, that her engagement lasted two years and would have lasted longer, but the fue of the young artist had reached Pavis, a city in which theatrical managers are keenly on the alert for successful actors and actresses, and she received uumerous flat- ering offers to appear in the gay French capital. She finally uccepte gagoment at the I"nlflnl Bergers, where she received a munificent salury and all her expenses, including carviages to and from the theater, and a dozen other little luxuries that fall to the lot of the j fsmous and popular theatrical artist. For eighteen months she rvemained a reigning favorite in Paris, and then re- turned to her native land, where she ' vad to arasta tho an en- | UNDAY, FEBRUARY part of Rosebud in_the pantomime of “The TTouse That Jagk, Built,” which was given at the Star;theatea, Wolver- hampton, 3 1t was during her enfffigement at this theater that the welk'known American manager, Mr. M. B.lLanvitt, saw her and recognized her valye as an attrace tion for this country, 1le at once en- gaged her and they ‘$iiféd for Amorica on September 1, 1888 'Mer first Amer- ican appearance was made at the Hay- market theater, Chicagoy/Tll., under the !

Her New York engagement lasted nine months, which is in itseif an [dence of how she was received in the critical metropolis of America Her first American stay termindted with an engagemont with Hallen & Hart in “Later On,” after which she returned to London to visit her mother and sister. Hore it should be observed that a glimpse into the private life of the pub- lic favorite is rewarded by the knowl- edge that the yo\mg woman, in_all he theatrical teiumps, hus always exhidited a tender love for her invalid sister, amounting almost to devotion. It isa beautiful trait in any character, but especially so in one where artistic success isso liuble to turn the head of an urtist and leave them the essence and embodiment of solfishness, Instead of being spoiled by public adulation. it seemed only to de- velop the gentler and sympathetic side of her naturally sweet dispusition. Her next American season began with Miss Price s the principal attraction of Marks & Schaeffor’s Vaudevilles. the close of her season with them, she engaged with Donnelly & Girard to n\!pour as Jimpsey in “Natural Gas.” She remained with them until ill health, lurgely occasioned by mental distress and sufforing, forced her to temporarily retire from public life. The company during her engugement with them, piayed at the Tabor Grana opera house in_ Donver, It wasat this time that Millie Price was introduced to Clarence Merrill Dow, the son of a wealthy banker. 'vhey met, they loved ~—at least Clarence swore he loved her— and the nextday they wero married. It was considered by all a_genuine case of love at first sight, and life took on a rosate hue for the popular little actress, But, alag, for man’s vows, oaths and protestations, for inlittle more thana week the merry, happy, hopeful bride was o deserted wife. What heartaches, what anguish she must have suffered! who but herself can tell? At the conclusion of her engagement with Donnelly & Girard she went with those immensely popular manngers, Hoyt & Thomae, appearing as the Flirt in A Trip to Chinatown,” but ill health again forced her into retirement from the stage. She left the company at Kunsas City and started for Now York with the intention of ‘going direct from there to her home ih:London, England. While enroute she suddenly became so ill that she was compglled to stop at Buffalo, N. Y. Her physician then pro- hounced her case critical’ and she ling- ered at death’s dvorfor many weeks, but she eventually recoverad and prom- ises to live long to entertain the with whom she is a gengral favorite. Upon her convalescence she found her- self withouv money.' 'SHe was amongst strangers and penniléss. Starvation stared her in the face, but the plucky spirit that had helped irer overcome all obstacles in her professign did not desert her. She pawned her dinmonds and other valuables, together with her ward- robe; and realized enough monoy there- from to take her to Danver, where she hoped her husband, who had sworn to ‘‘love, honor and cherish her,” would provide her with proper support. Tl in mind and body, and without money, she tried all means to obtain an interview with hor truant husband, but all her ef- forts in this direction were in vain, Life for her scemod & cheerless waste, a dreary blank, a burden not worth bearing. Her arrival having been chronicled in the duily press it caught the eye of the ever watchful agent of Sackett & Lawler, He sought an interview and finally succeeded in having hor accopt an engagement with the amusement firm he represented, She was so ill that it secemed doubtful if she could fulfill har ongagement, but she pluckily undertook to do soand succeeded,p- pearing at Wonderland, the most pop- ular family resortin Denver. She re- coived a perfoct ovation at the hands of the sympathetic women of Denver, who ovidenced their sincerity by turning out in thousands to witness :mtf apolaud her performances, No better evidence of the Kkindly, ‘heering helipful sentiment of Denver’s womon “could be produced than was shown bp their action in daily crowding the theater to groet Mrvs. Price-Dow, This clever artist and charming littlo woman, whose life reads like a romance, but has been in fact a stern reality, will appear at the Eden Musee all this week, whon the public will have the oppor- tunity to seo and hear this most versa- tile of singers and dancers. Aside from the interest that hovers around her oventful lifo, the style and character of her entertainments is so attractive that all who witness it are delighted.
