8 THE OMAHA DA ILY BEE: TUIIESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1894 WON BY SCHMETSER'S SMILES Injured Weman Tracks a Man All the Way from Vienna to Omaha, M1 S ANNA GELISER'S BILL FOR DAMAGES Alleges That She Was Wooed by the Omnha Editor and Gave Him e and Gold Under an Unfulfilled From- ise of Marriuge. or The tale of a gay deceiver of women, love turned 'into hatred and misplaced affection avenging itself by starting out to hunt the trail of a miscreant to a trust was spread upon the records of the courts of this county | yesterday. It encompasses a man who has succeeded, within the short space of a year | and a half, in ralsing himself to a position | among the local 400. He was petted and reared in the bosom of German soclety, but it the story of a recent arrival from forelgn she may be taken for truth, he is a bigamist. Bweet revenge for disappointed love, broken promises und distrust actuate the victim to call him such at least. Not for miany a day have such cholce morsels of scandal involved a prominent man in his circles. For som days it has furnished food to be relished by his acquaintances, The subject of this wrath of a woman is Edward Schmeiser, the publisher of the Omaha Daily Tribune, Under oath it is charged that he is the husband of two living wives, one of whom Is still a resident of the beautiful capital of Austria, and the other, 18 well known, an Omaha lady. In addition to this it s further alleged that numerous broken feminine hearts are ca:rying around with them pledges unredeemed, and all be- cause they allowed themselves to listen to the sweet sayings of an apparent gentleman. Altggether this man's life is said to have been an adventurous one in the cld home. Several weeks ago a comely woman arrived here from Chicago, making inquiries as to the location the Tribune office. Her sudden appearance there s ®id to have caused a commotion, especially since she was supposed to reign serenely over the pots and frying pans on a range in the back part of a restaurant in far off Vienna. Her untimely arrival is now the cause of a of promise sult which has bee the courts of Douglas Schmeiser, who, since here, has performed political acrobatic feat, landed here in the last part of 189 Hi: business was that of selling insect powders, and later on he dis- posed of cockroach fraps to unsuspecting customers until he gained the good graces of ‘the widow of a deceased German, who, during his lfetime, had amasied quite a fortune Schmelser then discarded his former com- panions and rose to the dignity of a news: paper publisher, a business which he claimed 0 have followed in his mnative country. Aside from a change of rolitics he has pur- sued the even tenor of his way, enjoying the good things which came to him by his last marriage until the avenging spirit ap- peared in the form of Miss Geiger. Her affidayit, which is herewith published, tells the entire story. This document is as fol- lows: | HOW SHE WAS BETRAYED, Anna Geiger, a native of Austria and of | lawful age, being duly sworn, upon her oath doposes and says: “During the year 1862 1 was a resident of the city of Vienna and employed as cook at the Margarettan hotel. Here I received attentions from a man who was a patron of that hostelry and who called himself Ed- ward Schmescr. Under the pretense of being single and engaged in the trade of bpok agent he gained my confldence. The courtship which followed lasted for some thne and ended finally In bethrothal. Plans, originating with Mr. Schmeiser, were laid as | to our future marricd state. He impressed upon me the necessity of beginning under the most moderate conditions, in which 1 acquiesced, alleging as reasons that he w endeavoring to set himself up in busine In order to accomplish this purpose as speed- ily as possible, and und:r the promi-e of the immediate consummation of our marriage, he besought moe to advance the sum of 600 florins from my savings, which were the slow accumulations of years of hard toil and incessant labor, and the result of frugal habits. Confiding by ure, 1 believed implicitly in my betrothed hus- band, ~ who artfully turned this to his advantage, gaining my consent to such an advance. This was advanced to him during the latter part of the month of June, 1892. The money was not given to him, however, until the suave manners, wi tricks and numerous misrepresentations, which Edward Schmeiser used, he evidently | understanding the weaknesses of a loving and trusting woman, ruined me. | was led to belleve that our mar- ried lite would be happy. uc- ceeding in his said designs, he shortly thereafter informed me affectionately that it had become necessary, before establishing the business spoken of, for him to undertake & business trip to Leipzic, Germany, which would absent him about eight days, He went but never returned to his natly land. Neither did T see him until a few ort weeks ago here In Omaha, nor did I up to that time receive a cent of the money o vilely extracted from me. Shortiy after his sudden departure, as above, from Vienna I learned from rellable sources that my betrothed had absconded to America, I thereupon instituted proceedings against him in Vienna. A letter; written by me caused a visit of his brother, who occupies & responsible official position there. NOT THE ONLY VICTIM. !From his lips [ learned that it was not the only person duped and left by Bdward Schmelser, but fthat a law- tul wite was far more of a vietim In affection and worldly goods than myself. That lady, who resides In Her- nals, Anna Gasse, a suburb of Vienna, with tears In her eyes, lamenting her fate, im- parted to one of my relatives the inform. tion that most of her Inheritance had been digpelled by the husband, who had now deserted her, 1 was also apprised that other unsuspecting young women had been en- snared by Schmeiser. In the action at law which T had caused to bo begun against bim, the sald Bdward Schmeiser, who is naw the sole owner and publisher aof the Omaha German Daily Tribune, a war- rant of arrest and immediate apprehension was issued out of the proper court, but the | ofcers failed to locate the individual, so| that the document remains still in thelr hands and the culprit at large enjoying his fréedom. The fruitless search on the part of the officers determined me to start on the trdil myself. 1 sailed for New York in the Spting of 1893, There I recelved informa- tion that the object of my trip was in Chi- cago. Proceeding thither I searched for him diligently, being aided by a detective whom I employed until my financial means com- pelled me to desist. My entire savings, Antounting in the reighborhood to 2,100 florins, I have expended in this way. Without money, 1 sought in Chicago a situation in| which I remained until I left for Omaha | not long since. Shortly after my arrival here I discovered from a mewspaper article that Edward Schmeiser was a resident of this city. I confronted the publisher at his office in the Lange block. I demanded from Bim the sum embezzled, or at least as a part payment $100, the balance to be paid later, This, he said, he was unable to do, | but requesting 1me to mccompany him up town he handed me $5 saying that this was All he could pay at the time, A second visit to his office was unsatisfactory, but a few days thercafter Mr. Schmeiser appeared at the house where I am stopping and in- formed me that all the moneys due me and | gotten from me In an | manner had been Sent to Vienna, the balance per telegraph | since my arrival in Omana, | “A lotter was also received by me in De- | cember, 1863, dated at Vienna, and which urported (o' have been sent by Edward hmelser's former landlady. In this I was requested to desist from all further prosecu- tion of Edward Schmelser, elther here or In Ty on payment of a consid meaning 100 florins.

At the Boyd theater this and Wednesday evenings, Willie Collier, the quaint comedian, will be seen in Edward E. Kidder's new comedy-drama, “A Back Number.” Much Interest is felt In this city to see Mr. Collier in a legitimate comedy role, which he a: sumes in the play written for him by the author of “Peaceful Valley” and “A Poor Relation.”” Farce comedy is now with Mr. Collier a thing of the past. His success in “Hoss and Hoss” wa: great that his friends and admirers felt convinced he was humorous enough not to require the surround- ings of farce comedy. In fact, it was be- lieved that his quaint humor would be seen to greater advantage if he pitched his efforts on a higher plane. To test this, “A Back Number” was tried, and wherever Mr. Col- lier has appeared in his new field, he has the highest praise from press and Mr. Collier assumes a dual role, and is given ample opportunity to show his versatllity. As Benjamin Bennett, Mr. Col- lier portrays the village schoolmaster of an Ohio village, taking everything seriously to such an_extent . that he {s-almost oppressed by the sternness of his sense of duty. There is absolutely nothing in- this fact o remind one of the actor who provoked so many laughs in“Hoss and Hoss,” other than the fact that he is funny as ever, though in a difterent line. As the teacher's brother, Shiftless Ike, there Is a strong reminder of the Willie Collicr the public knew in former years. There is, however, no ludi- crous makeup nor constant introduction of speclalties. From this it must not be imag- ined that Mr. Collier has ceased to be funny, 15 has been the case with many who have attempted to rise from farce to legitimate, In his new sphere it has been agreed on all sides that he Is funnier than ever. There is a pastoral love story of much beauty. Ben- jamin Bennett is beset by troubles on all s0 sides, but In the end his devotion to duty is | rewarded. Mr. Collier is ably supported by George W, Leslle, H. A. Smith, James R Smith, M, L. Heckert, Edward Clark, Loui Allen Colller, Helen Reimer, and Mattie Earle. The splendid New York company present- ing Edward Miiton Royle's successtul play, ““Friends,” is announced o appear here again November 2, 3 and 4. “Friends” has been the subject of more brilliant dramatic and ed- itorlal criticism than any other attraction extant. We can say honestly, however, that both play and players thoroughly deserve all the praise that has been lavished by critics of celebrity. When last produced here it created a furore, and we were most pleased to recognize its success and commend it to our public, and, now that it will be seen here again, we advise all who were unfortunate enough to miss sceing it last season, to avail themselves of the privilege this year. Last season’s strong cast will doubtless win new triumphs this year. Selena Fetter Royle Is noted for the originality of her toilets, and as she has a complete new wardrobe this season, her feminine admirers here will doubtless be interested. That superb gctor- pianist, Lucius Henderson, fons during the piano recital. novel feature draws crowds of music lovers everywhere, “‘Friends” tells such an in- teresting story, blending comedy so artisti ally with pathos, that a most enjoyable eve is assure Friends will be seen at Boyd's Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and Saturday matinee.

SIOUX FALLS TO THE COAST South Dakota's Metropolis the End of a Great Scheme, NEW TRANSCONTINENTAL F.O\D PLANNED Contracts Entered Inte Already for the Construetion of the Midiand Pacitio— Forelgn Uapital--Through Wyom« ing Coal Fields to Seattle. W YORK, Oct. 29.—Major Georgs Hib- bard of this city has recently returned from an extensive trip through the northwest and northern portions of the Pacific slope. One | the most imporcant pleces of news he | concerns the proposed ncw Mialand Pacific railroad, over the route of which he traveled for the especlal purposs of getting | a knowledge of that section of the ecountry in order to make a report thereon to Canadiun and foreign capitalists who aie ready to in- vest In the new enterprise if they should be satisfied of its feasini’ty. Major Hibhard is now able to state wnat tne capital, both Cana- dian and foreign, s satisflod and that he h therefore been able to enter iuto contract with United States Senator R. F. Pettigrew'| of South Dakota for the builling of the Mid- land Pacific from Sioux Fails, S. D., 10 Se attle and Tacoma, Wash., a distance of 1 miles. Success Is thus assured for what will undoubtedly be one of the great transconti- nental routes. Asked if the construction of the road was to be undertaken, at an early due, fajor Hih- bard replied: “The first section, catending from Sioux Falls to the coal flelds of Wy ming, about 400 miles, will ba bullt In the spring of 1895. These flelds, by the way, contain in vast quantities a csal equal in quality to the best produced in Illinols. Since South Dakota is entirely withcut coal or other fuel in any emount it will oc seen what | an advantage she will derive from these in- | creased facilities for fuel thut is plentiful and cheap. The second section, from the eastern boundary line of Wyoming to the Yellowstone park, will be completed during the season of 1896 anl in connection with the [lHnois Central air line it will fu nish a route 200 miles shorter than any other between Chicago and the national park. The third sectlon, which Is cxpected (o follow the second section Immedintely, g called_the Idaho division and starts at. the western line of the Rockies, a country rich in minerals, timber and agriculiural aress. The fourth section, the Washin dvision, will pass through central Waushington and have terminals in the pecullurly promising ports of Tacoma and Seattle, “Sioux TFalls, the eastern terminus,” con- tinued Major "Hibbard, “as you know, .is equally promising. Five eastern railrcads converge there. It is the most prosperous city of South Dakota by a good deal, being | the distributing center for all the eastern and southern parts of the state, southwestern Minnesota and northwestern fowa. The new road will have its principal repair and rail- road shops at Sioux Falls and make it the basis for the distribution of all the materials to be used in the construction of the first two divisions. On the first of these active work will be begun by June 1, 1895.” URGING NO JURISDICTL Santw Fe Election Injanction Case in Court at Topeka. TOPEKA, Oct. 20.—The case involving the selection of directors for the Atchisom, To- peka & Santa Fe company came up today be- fore Judge Foster of the United States dis- trict eourt—the point involved being whether or mot the cumulative system of voting shall be allowed, that is, ean stockholders cast votes equal to their etact number of share multiplied by 13—the number of directors to be elected—for one director or must they cast for each director votes not exceeding thé respective number of shares held by each one voting. Representing the directors’ vommittee, which opposes the cumulative plan, were present Attorneys Rossington, Smith and Dal- las, Gleed, Ware and Gleed and Dunlap. Representing the protectives were General Tracy, Henry Woolman and A. L. Willlams. Mr. Dunlap, for the direcaors’ committee, asked that the case be dismissed on the | ground of no jurisdietion under a Kangas Jaw, | because, as alleged, the plaintiff, Smith, was | a nonres.dent, living in New Jersey, and that | the majority uf the members named in the | complaint were nonresidents of Kansas; that Counsel for the minority stockholders argued that while this court might not have jurisdiction over these defendants who are nonresilents of Kansas, yet that fact would not oust it of jurisdiction of the case itsell or over those Qefendants who were residents of Kansas Judge Foster took the matter under advise- ment and will pass on this point in the morn- ing.

The only matter of importance that was considered by the charter amendment com- mittee last night was that of the employ- ment of day labor in public works. The sub- committee appointed on this subject immedi- ately after the organization of the commit- tee brought in a divided report. Messrs Winspear and Fowler presented a majority report, recommending that section 113 of the charter be so amended as to provide that any public works that were to be paid for by a general tax might, in the discretion of the mayor and council, be done by day labor under the supervision of the Board of Publie Works, and that all material should be pur- chased by the city. The minority report was signed by Mr. Wyman, who objected to the proposed amend- ment, on the ground that the city would not receivo as good service from day labor as it did on contracts. He held that the proposed measure was contrary to public policy, in that it would make the department a po- litical machine. The work was now being done as economically as possible, without injury to the laboring men, and, in his opin- ion, the amendment contaired in the majority liable to perversion In support of the amendment Mr. Winspear said that the only things contemplated to be done by day labor were the street sweep- ing and sewer construction, if it was found that the results were superior to those se- cured under the present system. In regard to the street sweeping he stated that a large saving cou'd be effected if the work was done ~ by the city and the employ- ment would be given to Omaha laboring men instead of a lot of cheap men who were imported by the contractor, DAY LABOR GENERALLY FAVORED. The general tendency in all the larger cities | was toward the employment of day labor in some departments of public work and the results had been satisfactory in every case The majority report was adopted, Mr. Wyman alone dissenting. lonel C. S. Chase was namied to fill the vacancy on the committee, caused by the resignation of W. 8. Popplefon The question of making some provision which would enable the city to build or pur- chase a city jall was suggested by Major Wheeler, and referred to Mr. Conneil's com- mittee. In this connection Mr. Connell sug- gested that the city owned property on Ninth street, which was admirably adapted for that purpose. There were a number of strects just below there which could be utilized as a stone yard, and would be adjacent to the railroad tracks, so that stone could be read- ily_supplied. On motion of Mr. Wheeler a special com- mittee of three was appointed to recommend such changes as were necessary to remove inconsietencies and conflicting passages.
