They realize now If never before that the secrets thereof are a closed book, inecrutable to the grosser mind of wan, and it goes with- out saying that the next time they try to Faise 8250 they will not presume upon the ections of the unfalr sex as the holsting device.

Two weeks ago it came to pass that Hecht wanted §200, wo Beld a session with his brother Charles, and between them they hatched up a scheme for acquiring the sum. Fred Hecht according to the terms of the pact, was to be in jall, in imminent danger of a peni- tentiary sentence, and hls brother Charles Wwas to write to Mrs. Ralston and ask for 8250 with which to secure the attendan:e : & witness whose testimony would clar ‘I know Ler,” said Fred. “She's got the Stuft and she'll let go of $260 before she'il 8o me go over the road."

She was finally prevafled upon to tell her story. Mr. Fred Hecht was an “old friend of the family,” and between herself and Rim there was an ‘‘understanding. He was In some awful trouble, and his brother Charles had written her for finan- clal ald. The money was to be sent in a registered letter to Charles through the general dellvery. No address had been given. The moment she got the letter she bad drewn on her bank account, and soon afterward possible had taken the tralp for Omaha. She couldn't bear the thought of Fred lying in a nasty jail, and 80 cAme In person to give him the encour- of her presence. She scorned the idea of his decelving her. Fred, she as- sured the officer, was not that kind. For two days detectives searched for the Hechts, but falled to find them, learning only that they bad been seen recently In sev- eral familiar haunts.

In broken English he told a remarkable story of his futlle struggle to obtain employment and rather than face death by starvation he killed his wife at her request and attempted sulcide by shooting himself in the neck. For. eighteen months,” he sald, "I walked the streets of Chicago iu search of work. I couddn’t get any. My three children were starving to death. 1'd come home footsore and tired only to find starvation and misery staring me in the fa My wife became a puny little woman, only the shadow of her former selt.

On several occasions shé told me that she iutended to commit sulclde. I persuaded her not to do such a thing for the sake of our children. She sald she would throw herself under a traln and have her head cut off. Other times she threatened to drown herself. 'One day | came home, my hopes of & curlng a position blasted. 1 told my troubles to my wite. The depression af- fected her. We talked over matters and w no way In which we could muke both ends meet. Then she made a proposition to me. ‘Stanislaus,’ she sald, ‘I want to die You kill me and then kill yourself. We'll both be out of trouble then and the chil- dren will be placed in an asylum. It will be better for all concerned.’ “I considered the matter and decided to @0 as she requested. | went to my bed- room and got my revolver.

Two bullets entered the lower part of my body. “Fearing that these would not flnish me 1 attompted to shoot myself in the head. 1 was dizzy by that time and the bullet struck my meck.

George H. Maxwell, the irrigation promo- ter, spoke to the members of the Real Bs- tate exchange at the regular weekly lunch- €on yesterday, presenting the outlines of the proposed organization in this city to further the projoct for the irrigation of western government lands by means of storage Teservolrs to prevent the wasto of water in the rainy seasons and provide for its use At proper seasons for the purpose of irriga- tion. Mr. Maxwell went more fnto detail in this address than in any of the former addresses here on that subject and aroused unmistakable enthusiasm. He began by the declaration that Omaha 18 looked upon as one of the strougholds of the frrigation movement, but sald that heretofore the Commerciul club had been the sole active factor, all the work that had been done having been based upon a commercial view of the possibilities of the proposed {mprovements. He telt, however, that this work ls one of vilal importance to evory interest of the city, and especlally of real estate interests, as the value of the reul estate was dependent upon the growth of populatlon in the section of which the city is the commercial center..

He pointed to | the eagurnoss with which the lands in Okla- bomu aie sought, as evideuco of the uni- versal desire to get hold of guod agri- cultural lands anywhere In the United States, and sald that if these governmeat lands were irrigated Omaha would n five years be a clty of 500,000 people. Mr. Maxwell sald it Is just as much a business proposition for thls government to irrigate this large tract of land as it was for Holland to build its system of dykes to keep back the sea, or for Eng- land to carry on its extensive irrigation works in India, or s was the damming of the Nile.

Not long ngo there died at Naples a woman named Baldl, who at the time of her de- cease was In her 0fth widowhood. Al- though well-to-do and a very attractive wol she had been unable to induce any- ome to agaln make her a wite, for her five husbands had all come to untimely ends—the first three by drowning, the fourth through being thrown from a horse and the Afth from a rallway accident. In January of the present year a man pamed Chandious of Luzy, near Lucenay, France, hanged himself. He was his wite's fifth husband, his four prodecessors having likewise met with tragic deaths. The first hanged himself, the second was burned to death, the third committed sufcide by drowning and the fourth followed the ex- ample %f the first. A Mme. Fenard, who died some few years back in the neighborhood of Brussels, had Been five times left a widow--an event that on each occasion had been brought about by the hand of others. Her first husband, whom she married in America, was fatally stabbed in a gambling saloon; her second, an Austrian, was found bludgeoned while out yachting; her fourth, a Frenchman, was shot by a burglar, whom he was endeavor- ing to capture, and her fitth, a Belglan, was found drowned, marks on the body pointing to violence. Still more extraordinary is the matri- monial eareer of a Mexican woman named Senora Rey Castillo, who, within the com- paratively brief period of fifteen years, lost no fewer than seven husbands, all of whom had met with a violent death. Her first was killed In a carriage accldent, her sec- ond was accidently polsoned, her third lost bis lfe in a mine explosion, her fourth committed suicide, her Afth was killed while hunting, her sixth succumbed to a { from a scaffold and her seventh was drowned. But perhaps the strangest case falling within our present category s that vouched for by Dr. Durrler, a physiclan practicing in Parls at the end of the eighteenth cen- tury. A woman, whom he calls Mme. C., was wedded elght times and on eight oc- caslons did she become & widow by reason of her husbands meeting their death while in a state of somnambulism. Six fell from the parapet or windows of her house, while of the remaining two ome was run over while king In te of trance through the street and the other met his death by drowning. What made the case more mys- terious was that previous o marriage none of thewe men had even shown any Indica- tion of being a sleep walker. This s a story of a rat and two boles in the ground related by the Boston Tran. script, The holes were very small hole: Just big enough to let two rats into the cel- lar of the Old South Meeting House, and probably more than big ¢nough to let them, wiser and leaner rats, out again.

( | I» choice positions along the Milk and Wash- iugton street raflings of the fepce about the tiny yard of the Old South Meeting House a constantly changing crowd that renewed Itself every minute. Now In this crowd were all kinds of per- sons, from the office boy at $3 a week to the broker of $300. Everyone watched his minute before he went about his busl- Ness; for some the monetary loss was only the fraction of a cent; for otbers it mounted up In the dollars. A low and comservative estimate of the average monetary value of these people is 20 cents an hour. Thirty people standing for one minute are equal to one person standing for half an hour. But the entertainment extended over many minutes. An hour of it for 2,000 people was pald for by Boston employers in $60 worth of time. What did this $50 crowd of 2,000 per- Sons see for Its money? Most of the people two Loles in the ground; eome of thom the bright, beady eyes and the whiskered nose of @ rat. The poor fellow was prob- ably trying to get away to some less hal- lowed but more fruitful surroundings, when the first observing saw him and by look- ing collected the audience. He lay low for many long minutes, so many thai the whole crowd about the fence was fn utter Ignorance of what it was_watching; but still the crowd hung on, looking at the holes, or gazing up at the sparrows, which twittered in and out of their nests in the close ivy Arowth on the wall. Every time the rat looked out one or two saw hm, and then everybody devoted his attention to the holes again. And nelther rat nor holes can have known how much they were cost- ing the employers all over Boston. Dr. Garvel of Lyons, France; lately per- formed a remarkable and difficult opera- tion. A 2-year-old child living at Buenos Ayres, South America, while at play swal- lowed a large pail, almost three inches long. After a short time the child came nearly suffocating, but by the next day all respiratory trouble had disappeared and it was supposed that the nall bad passed through the digestive tract. While on a visit to France the child commenced to cough despcrately. It was supposed to be aficted with chronle bronehitis, and trouble in breathing was found on the right side, After hearing the history of the child Dr. Garvel thought the naill might be in tho bronchial tubes. He made an examination with the X-ray and found that the nall hud lodged In the right bronchial tube. There was no hesitation In selecting a method to extract it. Tracheotomy was resorted to under an anaesthetic and then an clectro magnet was inserted through the opening and pushed down the ehild's windplpe as far as possible. The nall was immediately drawn from the bottom of the bronchial tube and became attached to the magnet Several days afterward a Bordeaux phy- siclan learned of this curious operation and performed a similar one on a 3-year-old child who was supposed to have swallowed Has an Interesting En. company for injuries which his intant son, | | Ing the lust five years American products of | ' ~All the odds and ends shirt waists, plain taffetas, plisse plain colors, including bl slzes, made in the latest sty walsts, on sale on main floor at $1.49. the latest style, at sailor collar shirt lawn waists, white elaborately trimmed with embroidery, on sale at Tbe. 49c¢ O08c cloth colla e, ginghams, and cuffs, This Includes ete., strap and braid trimmed. for Denim Wash arrived, k and white, all $5.00 for $1.25 Shirt Waists ~in lawns, dimities, madras with soft made in for $1.50 Shirt Waists the for Wash Skirts — worth up to $2.00--made of duck P.

In seventeen years the total cost of re- palring and malntaining asphalt paving in the city of Omaha has been $190,677.94. City Engiueer Andrew Rosewater has prepared a table which shows the cost of maintaining every asphalt street in the eity up to 'y 1, 1901, The first asphalt was lald in 1833, During the first tew years all paving was kept in order by asphalt companies under & contract taken at 8§ cents per square yard per ye Recently v has paid for repairing where it was necessary and has had no blanket contract for such work. Rosewater's tables the average yearly cost of maintalning and repairing paving on various streets is shown. Six- teenth strect shows the greatest outlay. Between Izard and Dougl streets on Six- teenth the average annual cost of main- taloing each yard of paving has been 7 cents. This expenditure has been made for a period covering seventeen years and the total outlay on this strip of paving has been $20,233.80. In 1900 the outlay on that section of Sixteonth street was $5,439.70. The expenditure on the street in 1899 was $1,280.80.

Three strips of paving lald seventeen years ago have becn maintained at an av- erage annual expense per vard of 4.9 cents. This paving Is on Fourteenth stroet be- tween Capitol avenue and Howard street, on Fifteenth strect between Capitol ave- nue and Howard street and on Harnmey street between Ninth ard Sixteenth streets. Five pleces of paving lald seventeen years ago have beeh malntained at an an- nual cost of 4.8 cents per yard. This paving is on Elcventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Cum- Ing and Howard streets. . Next in point of expense are ten strips of seventeen-year paving which have been kept in repair at an average annual cost of 4.7 cents per yard. This paving Is on Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Fifteenth, Cuming, Dodge and Farnam streets and Capitol avenue. No paving seventcen years 011 has boen maintained at a less annual expense than this. Most of the sixteen-year-old paving in the city has required an annual expendl- ture of 4.5 cents per yard for repairs. Pav- ing which has been laid fifteen years ha required an annual expenditure of 4.3 cents per yard for repairs. Fourteen-year-old paving has been repaired at an annual cost of 4 cents per yard. The cost of maintaining paving which has been lald for ten and eleven years varies from 3.2 cents to 0.1 cent per yard Mr. Rosewater's schedule shows that no expenditure has been made for the repair of paving which has been made within the last elght years, Cuts Woman to Pleces.
