THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 1902 HURRY CALL T0O FLORENCE Bherif Makes Fast Drive to Resoue Frank Smock, FEARS LYNCHING FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT Angry Cltizens Gather Atent Jat After Emma Romch Tells Her Story of Attempted Assault. Bherift John Power returned at 4:30 yes- terday afternoon from a fast drive to Flor- ence which drive was, he thinks, the means of preventing a lynching in that ordinarily]| quiet town. He brought back with him Frank Smock, acoused of attempting a criminal assault wupon Emma J. Roach, a 16-year-old girl who is a cripple. Smock, aged about 38, Is an exceptionally large man, considerably over six feet tall and weighing in the ameighborhood of 200 pounds. For twelve yoars he bas ‘been making his home with Catherine Roach, mother of the girl and @ widow. He claims to have been their prigeipal support as a boarder and lodger and to have “‘bought every stitch of clothes the girl has worn during that time,” but he makes no other statement concerning his alleged offense, While Her Mother is Away. The story is that while the mother was absent yesterday forenoon he followed the &irl into a bedroom and there made a pro- posal, following the refusal of which be used violence, but unsuccessfully. It is told that he held his hand over her mouth and treatened to kill her if she made an out- ory, but she freed herselt and ran into the yard, screaming so lustily that the atten- tion of a neighbor woman was attracted Bmock started for Omaha, but was over- taken by the marshal and returned to be locked up. As the news spread throughout the town @ large crowd gathered about the town jall and the alarmed marshal telephoned the county attorney, who in turn telephoned the sheriff. The latter and his deputy, Adam Sloup, at once started for the scene of the trouble, as dld also Deputy County Attorney Elmer Thomas. OMcers Fear Angry Crowd. By the time they reached the Florence Jall the officers there were more than anxions to be rid of their charge and the prisoner himself was so enthuslastic at the prospect of being removed from the sound of the angry threats that reached him from outside the building that he waived ex- amination instantly. John Negley, police judge of Florence, bound him over in the sum of $1,000, which he could not furnish, and he was whisked away to Omaha at once. The girl was held under $100 bond and will be brought here today to be examined by experts who shall discover if there be marks of violence upon her.

After firing the shot Ford ran and has not been arrested. > Early in the evening Mrs. Thorn and Ford had a fight over a pitcher which be- longed to Mrs. Thorn and which Ford had broken. The woman was knocked down and kicked by Ford and finally thrown out of her house. Mrs. Thorn informed her hus- band of the trouble and when the two men met in the grocery store a fight followed.

Five Dollars a Box The Price Cuts No Figure with Him “I want to say for the benefit of some poor dyspeptic that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lots will give comfort and a cure every time. Five dollars a box would not stop my purchasing them, should I ever suffer again as I did for a week before using them. “The cne 50 cent box I bought at my drugglst's did the work and my digestion is sll right agaio. “Many of my neighbors have also tried these and found them to be just as repre- sented, and Mr. Ellms also wants me to use bis name in endorsing Stuart's Dyspe ‘Tablets. Signed, A. ELLMS and CHAS. F. BUZZELL, Asst. Postmaster, South Sudbury, Mass. Mrs. Jas Barton of Toronto, Canada, writs “For elghteen mounths I suffered from what I supposed was bladder and kid- mey trouble, snd took medicine from three @ifferent doctors, without any sign of cure. 1 felt o 1ll at last I was hardly able to do my work. “I thought I would try a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see if they would make me feel better, never really thinking 1 bad dyspepsia, but after only three or four tablets had been taken all the acld trouble disappeared and then I discovered 1 bad bhad acid dyspepsia, while the doctors had been treating me for kidney and bladder trouble and one of them treated me for rheumatism. “My digestion is @me, my complexion clear and I am able to do my work, and low spirits are unknown to me. “1 am so thaokful for finding & cure so good and so pleasant to take as Stuart" Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 am surprised at the change they have made in me." All druggists sell and recommend Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they contain only the simple natural digestives, and, taken after meals, prevent acidity and cause prompt digestion assimilation of food. Physicians every re endorse them, be- cause they are as safe for the child as for the adult; they are invaluable for sour stomach, nervous dyspepsia, heartburn, gas on stomach and bowels and every form of swmach deraugomcat. FARMERS’ DAY AT BENNETT'S reds of Tillers o Their Families, V New Store. the Sofl, with it the W. R. Bennett turned over the keys of his Dew establishment to his farmer constitu- ents yesterday.. There were tillers of the soll galore, accompanied by their wives and families. Husbandmen, horticulturiats and live atock breeders hobnobed in the corri- dors. Mr. Bennett called it bis “farmers convention,” and he was bustling about and shaking hands with as much gusto as though he were a candidate for sheriff At 12:30 a great table on the top floor, 1aid 1n the form of a U, and set to accom- modate 100 people, was announced to be in readiness for the “delegates” and their fam- illes. The scheme was to reproduce & harvest handepread. Everything was placed on the table at once; thers were mno courses; the menu was strictly rural, and therefore appetizing in the extreme. Great | bowls of tomato soup adorned the center of the board. Then there were fish, meat, veg- etables, pumpkin ple, apple butter, ice cream and coffee. When the assistant cook shouted “Dinner is ready!” the delegates 414 their share toward reproducing a din- ner hour scene at a farm house during harvest time by taking their places promptly without show of reluctance. All had previously washed their faces and hands in the new lavatory—a rite necessary 1o preserve the apirit of the occasion. When they had finished the table was spread for a second relay and another 100 guests were gerved. During the meal hour they discussed irri- gation, the man iIn the adjoining township who had harvested five crops of alfalfa in one season, the best way to dig & silo, an improved make of lister and rotation in crops. Interspersed with these themes were complimentary comments on the big new emporium of their host. All agreed that it was a model of a department store and as- sured Mr. Bennett that, now that they knew where to find him, they would call agaln. During the afternoon a reception commit- tee of twenty-six representative farmers, | who previously had had some schooling in the geography of the store, served to pilot the visitors to the various department: This committee was made up as follows: Lat Shipley, Willlam Buller, Fred Buller, John Umstead, Henry Driesen, Ed Walker and Hans Anderson of Florence; C. A. Lar- son, D. W. Henry, Carsten Rohwer, H. C. Glissman, Willlam Jensen and William Eicke of station B, route 1, rural delivery; David Reed, Pat Mo~ Ardle and M. L. Allen of Benson; J. An- derson and Chris Tedde of Irvington; C. 8. Avery and George H. H. Meadows of Mil- lard; John Shipley of South Omaha, John Somes of Elk City, John Kimball of La Platte, Charles Gaw of Bennington, W. G. Whitmore of Valley and R. E. Westgate of Omaha. The convention was in session the greater part of the afternoon and ended with the adoption of a resolution to give Mr. Ben- nett a generous share of their patronage. HOLDUP ON TENTH STREET Long and Short Man with Masks and Revolvers Rob Frank Saut- ter's THIL Two masked ‘'men entered the grocery store of Frank Sautter, Tenth and Bancroft STRIKE IN SHOE FACTORY One Hundred Men and Women Employes at Kirkendall's Walk Out. DISCHARGE OF FOREMAN BRINGS TROUBLE Saperintendent Lets Out Foreman Because He Would Not Allow Non- Union Girl to Work and Strike Follows. One hundred men and women, members of tho Shoemakers’ union, employed at the F. P. Kirkendall shoe factory, 411-13 South Tenth street, went on a strike yesterday, resulting in the shutting down of three of the departments of the factory. The strike was precipitated by the action of Superin- tendent Shannaban in discharging a fore- man, Frank Felder. When Felder left the building he was accompanied by every mem- ber of the union employed there The members then went to Labor Temple and after discussing their grievances in se- cret President Kirby of the union and eev- eral of the leaders of the strike called upon Mr. Kirkendall. The conference was held in the salesroom of the company at Elev- enth and Harney streets and continued for several hours. Instead of reaching an agreement grievances of past months were brought up and discussed, and after several hours the conference adjourned with noth- ing accompliehed. President Kirby refused to discuss the strike or the cause of it Foreman Felder was discharged because he refused to allow a young woman not a member of the union, who had been em- ployed by Superintendent Shannahan, to g0 to work. The superintendent sent for Mr. Kirkendall, who sustained his action and ordered Felders to allow her to resume her position. At this Felder objected and said the woman could mot work while he was employed at the factory. The superintend- ent promptly discharged him and the entire membership of the union walked out. Mr. Kirkendall's Statement. Mr. Kirkendall sald: ‘““The strike was precipitated because I upheld Mr. Shauna- han. I have made no discrimination as to employes, whether they belonged to the unlon or not, and this young woman over whom the trouble arose has been employed at the factory for some time. She has been laid off for a few days because there was little work In her department and when work was resumed this morning she was sent for by Mr. Sbannahan. I don't know how the strike will end, but I belleve it will be settled all right. We did not reach amy agreement this morning, as many other matters were brought up and discussed.” The cutting and fitting departments of the factory are still running and will con- tinue to run. The factory has an output of 1,500 pairs of shoes daily. The Boot and Shoe Workers' union fs affiliated with the Federation of Labor and has a representative in the Central Labor union. The local organization has a mem- bership of about 100. From a member of the executive committee it was learned last night that the strike had been brewing for some months, owing to the feeling against Superintendent Shannahan. The union de- mands that Mr. Kirkendall reinstate Felder and a young woman who was recently dis- charged. “The young woman,” sald Presi- streets, about 9:30 o'clock last night, held up the proprietor at the point of revolvers, and robbed the cash drawer of §15. At the time of the robbery Sautter was alone in the rear of the store, covering up some goods. ‘He heard a commotion in the front of the bullding and stralghtened up in time to look down the barrels of two revolvers in the hands of a long and a short m: which were leveled at him. The shorter of the men advanced to the center of the store and commanded Sautter to ‘hands up,”” which order was obeyed with alacrity “Where is your money?’ demanded the short man. Sautter Indicated with his hand the location of the money drawer. ‘While the short man still kept the pro- prietor covered, the long man walked around the counter and dumped the money out into a small sack. The long man then turned his attention to Sautter and satisfied him- self that he bad no money on his person. Threatening to shoot him if he moved, the two men backed to the door and then ran east toward the river. Sautter immediately called up the police station and gave an account of the rob- bery. Five minutes after the men had left the store Officer Relgelman, who was on the beat, moticed the door open and went across the street into the store. The long man wore a red bandana for a mask and the short man had a white hand- kerchief over his face. Nelther has been arrested. FIRE THREATENS LIVERY BARN Prompt Work of Department Prevents A disastrous fire was prevented at the livery barn of N. E. Dillrance, Seventeenth street and St. Mary's avenue, at 2 o'clock this morning by the prompt work of the fire department. A blaze originated in some rubbish on the north side of the barn and communicated to the bullding, soon filling it with smoke. The horses became excited and awakened the men who sleep at the barn and an alarm was sent in. The fire was promptly extinguished and only a few boards on the side of the bulld- ing were scorched. How it originated is not known. At 9:30 o'clock last night a coal ol lamp exploded in the lving rooms over a barn at 1818 Chicago street, burning Gus and Pete Nelson painfully, but not seriously. The fire was extinguished without gaining agy headway. SNEAK THIEF GETS DIAMONDS Takes Pin a from Pawnshop how Window Without Being Seen. A sneak thief got busy Friday in the | pawnshop of B.

CHAIRMAN GOSS IN NO HURRY Says the 1L, also had Committee Has P Chairman Charles A. Goss of the repub- lican county committee has not yet declded when he will call the committee together to arrange for the selection of del to the state convention, called for June 18. “I expect to be out of the city now for about ten days,” “and will look into the matter more carefully on my return. We have pleny of time to give the legal notice required, and all the ques- tions relating to time, manner and place of county comvention will be left for the comwlitee o decide.” - dent Kirby, “with her sister is the sole support of her mother and two sisters and for the last three weeks she has been ill and the union has been contributing to the support of the family. She is now able to 80 to work and the superintendent refused to give her a position. We were received very cordlally by Mr. Kirkendall and have nothing particular against him: it is the superintendent who has caused the trouble, He 1s simply making a fight on the organi- tion and we do not intend to stand for it. He bad no right to Interfere with the fore. man when he said he had no place nor work for the young woman whom Shannahan desired given a position. We have etruck and have received a message from National President Tobin to go ahead and use our own judgement, that he will support us. We have tied up every department in the establishment and intend to stay out of the factory until the matter is settled sat- istactorily. Mr. Kirkendall sald that unless a speedy adjustment of the trouble is made he will bring other men to Omaha to take the places of the strikers. Several non-union employes went out with the strikers. MANY ESCAPE PROSECUTION County Attorney Files List of C ‘Which Will Be DI missed. The county attorney called on Judge Bax- ter of the criminal court yesterday morn- ing and left with him a list of the 250 in- dictments returned by the last grand jury on which there has been no trial. Opposite twenty-five of them he had made pencil marks and these marks represent, he the cases which he does mot nolle and In which Le intends to at once file new com- plaints. These twenty-five are Pat Broderick, statutory assault; Willlam 8. Wedge, embezzlement; Jobn F. Lally, em- bezzlement: Garnet C. Porter, libel; Garnet C. Porter, assault, intent to do great bodily injury; Garnet C. Porter, libel; Clif Cole, keeping gambling machine; Thomas Denni- son, keeping gambling machine; CIift Cole, keeping gambling machine; Cliff Cole, keep- ing gambling machine; Chris Markeson, kecping gambling machine; William Nestle- house, keeplng gambling machine; William Donnelly and Frank C. Sampson, keeping gambling room; Siegbert Kahn, alias Cobn, selling lottery tickets; Thomas Dennison, keeping gambling room; Cliff Cole, keeping gambling room; Thomas Dennison, carrying on lottery; John Henry Loechner, malfe ance in office; William Nestlehouse, keep- ing gambling room; Richard Berlin and Thomas H.

In the list of those which he nolles be- cause of the decision of Judge Baxter that the grand jury was invalid are 193 indict ments agalnst proprietors of slot machines. The total was more than 200, but he re- served from thos whose names appear above the immunity which the others are to enjoy. The same discrimination was shown in the selection of alleged keepers of gamblng rooms, there being nollex the in- dictments against S. B. Phelps, L. Hart and Oliver Rouse. Others on the nolled list are those in- dictments against all the South Omaha school board members except John H. Loechner, his case being now in the #u- preme court on appeal from Judge Baxter's decision that his dealings were mot pro- hibited by the Nebraska statutes. Also nolied are the cases against eleven persons for violating the law governing the sale of liquor, but whose offense is considered only & misdemeanor and too trivial to carry through the justices' courts at an expense of §25 each; against — Simms and James Quinn, for keeping gambling devie agalnst Victor Walker, tor keeping gam- bling fixtures; against Floyd McKay, charged with forging scale checks in con- mection with the South Omaha school board trouble, but against whom the county at- torpey considers the evidence Insufiicient; agalost Charies T, Ferguson, charged with embezziement, but never found for service; against Miranda J. Steen, for selling prop- erty without title, evidence insufficient; John W. Robinson, assault with fntent to do great bodily injury, previously bound over; Harmon E. Newman, shooting with intent to wound. Judge Baxter's order will read that these indictments are “nolled on motion of the county attorney, and bail released.” WORKING ON GREAT WESTERN ge Force of Men Are Already En- saged in Bullding New Line, It was learned yesterday that a large force of men were at work along the extension of the Chicago Great Western trom Fort Dodge, Ia., to Omaha, and & good start has already been made in the conmstruction of the bridges and culverts for this new plece of raflwa; The Bates & Rogers Construction company of Chicago holds the contract for all the bridge and culvert work, of which there is considerable to be done. Five good-sized bridges are necessary, besides a great many culverts. All bridges will be of steel and will be of such a character that any speed with any size eggines and any weight trains can be made over them. All culverts will be of stone. Some time ago the work of clearing up preparatory to beginning the masonry work for bridges and culverts was begun, and now the actual erection of several of the structures is about to commence. Most of the bridges are required to cross other railroads, and this fact facilitates the assembling of material for them. The steel and other elements can all be brought in along the railroad which is to be passed over or under, and can thus be unloaded right at the scene of the work, instead of much carting being necessary. The viaduct being constructed for the Chicago Great Western at Fort Dodge, the present terminus of the line, s moving well on toward completion, and a consid- erable portion of the force of men which has been working on it has this week been transterred to the work farther west on the extension. The keynote of the battle for California travel between the overland rallroads this year has now been sounded. It is not time, nor territory, but equipment. Though this is a radical departure from the precedents of years, the change of policy is none the less absolute. From now on the slogan of the roads will not be, “We have the finest scenery along our route,” nor “We are ten hours quicker to San Framcsico than any other line,” but “Our traln cost a million dollars.” By putting on ten new trains for the overland journey after March 31 the Union Pacific really started the matter, although the Santa Fe and Burlington have been doing something on a similar plan, but in lesser quantities. Every train of these ten will represent an actual cost value of $250,000 and some of the single cars will be worth $40,000. The latest element in this war has just come to light. It is the announcement that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific will take a hand In the contest of extravagance and spend several millions in putting out half a score of new trains. The road is ex- tremely proud of its new El Paso line and has bullt great hopes on the popularity of its journey to the coast by that city. It realizes, however, that it cannot hope to compete with the other roads if it does not duplicate their magnificence of equipment, and this it will do. The new trains will be as elegant and expensive as any running between Chicago and the coast. Assistant General Freight Agent J. O, Phillippt of the Missour{ Pacific railway has Just appointed John R, Barrett of Hastings, Neb., traveling frelght agent for the N braska and lowa territory, with headquar- ters at Omaha. This gives Mr. Phillippt an additional man on his force here, which he has long desired. The appointment takes effect on April 1. No changes in the pres- ent staff will result, nor shifts occur, as a new position s created. Mr. Barrett has been with the Missouri Pacific rallway ten years and is agent for that road at Hastings. The officials of the road have always thought well of him. Superintendent Rath- burn will appoint a man to succeed Mr. Barrett at Hastings. Ra way Notes and Personals. General Agent Nash of the Chic waukee & St. Paul road, h Chicago. General Manager Bidwell of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rallroad has returned from Chicago. James G.

Hilton, pastor of the North Side Christian church, has returned from Cleve- land, O., where he attended the annual congress of the Disciple’s church. At that meeting were assembled prominent minls- ters from all parts of the United States, and one of the principal matters discussed was the coming convention of the church, which is to be held in Omaha this fall. ““The impression had gone abroad,” sald Mr. Hilton, “that Omaha does not want the convention and that the business men of the city had offered the church $1,000 if the convention could be located in some other town. I had made a speech on the subject of the convention and what Omaha intended to do before I heard these reports. I then secured permission to talk.agaln and denjed the reports in toto. I said that the Audi- torlum company, because of its failure to redeem its promise, had offered the com- mittee $1,000 to pay expenses so far in- curred if it were found necessary to change the convention place, but that the local committee had decided that the change was not necessary. ' “The principal desire on the part of the secretaries of the organizations which will be present in Omaha is for a building. They say that they do mot want to take the con- vention from Omaha, but that a bullding must be provided. I told them that there would be no trouble in securing a building of ample dimensions and I think that mat- ter has been settled. “In Chicago the ministers are very much interested in the convention. They are or- ganizing and promise to have & large num- ber people present at the convention. The state evangelist of Ohlo has promised to bring the national convention before every district convention in the state and believes that a large number will be pres- ent from there.” The monthly meeting of the general con- vention committee will ‘be held at the North Side Christlan church Wednesday evening. Preceding the meeting there will be a union prayer meeting of the churches of Omaba, South Omaha and Council Bluffs The official board of the Christian Mis- slonary society of the state will meet at the ller Grand Wednesday afternocon amd that evening will be present at the meeting at the North Side Christlan church. About sixteen members of the board from out of town will be present. This meeting will continue untd Thursday BOOR. MRS. NATION BREAKS RECORD Measures Up Over All Other Single- Handed Oonversationalists. TALKS MORE THAN AN INSURANCE AGENT at Happy-Hour Emporium of “Micky” Mullen Hatehetier Meets with Cordial Reception and Ap- propriate M When ghe started for North Bend, Neb on & Unlon Pacific train at 65:30 last night Carrfe Nation had spent just twenty-four hours in Omaha and broken nothing but the record for single-handed conversation Accepting the adage that the pen is mightier than the sword she seems to have created another to the effect that the tongue is mightier than the hatchet, and retired as a emasher to become an ex- horter. With the possible exception of insurance agents and theatrical advance men she can, undeniably, talk faster and longer than any other human being on earth and the his- tory of her visit in Omaha is the record of a serles of monologues, delivered in all sorts of places and to all kinds of audiences. She began talking the minute she ar- rived and she stopped only for sleep. She talked reproachfully to a danc- ing party at the Iler Grand after her lec- ture Friday night, and yesterday morning she resumed operations early at a Sixteenth street saloon near Kountze Memorial church, at which latter place she ate one of the two meals she allows herselt in the course of a day. To the ealoon proprietor she spoke severely, criticising him for being in a business which was, she eald, only pre- liminary to a life job at coaling the fur- naces of the Inferno. Starts on Her Tour. At 1:15 in the afternoon she again left the hotel and .his time on a regular tour. With her were Mrs. Shinrock, Miss Ora Shinrock and Miss Ruth Shinrock, local samaritans, and Mrs. M. A. 8. Monagon ot Lincoln, state superintendent of the Chris- tian citizenship department of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, Who has traveled with Mrs. Natlon all this month and left with her for the North Bend and Fremont meetings. Besides these women were three reporters and a lot of other neoble who were also in the “rubber’” busi- ness, but not for a living. At the county jail, which was the first place visited. Mrs. Nation talked plousl: but good humoredly, to all “the boys” knelt to pray for them, led In the singing of “Where is My Wandering Boy" and dis- tributed diminutive batchets to all the prisoners in the line. To her great disappointment the mayor's office, mext visited, was locked and she turned her attention to Chief of Police Donahue, who put away his cigar, at her request, and treated her with courtesy. Her plaint to him was based on the Slocum liquor law of Nebraska, but when she ad- mitted that she had not read it and grew personal with the chief, the latter grew warm and the relations cold—and the hatchetler retired to avold the chills that are incident to such abrupt changes in climatic conditions. “Micky” is Hospitable, From the chief's office the procession of righteousness moved majestically and im- postngly to the happy-hour emporium of “Micky” Mullen, a Frenchman with a green vest, who smiled largely and serenely when she told him he was feeding hell, and re- sponded that he was 4 the place had such & good appetite.

In the triumphal march eastward on Davenport street the Creighton Medical col- lege contributed a large contingent of en- thustastic students and when Ninth street was reached a crowd of 200 was at her heels, all shouting her name, but not with unkindly emphasis. Pausing to be photo- graphed at the corner of Ninth and Capi- tol avenue, the dark meat of the temder- loin, she dived unhesitatingly into .the laboratory of Lou Goldsmith, a maker of merry nights and gloomy mornings. It s not a religious place, nor governed with much decorum, and before the crusader left the building she conceded it to be bad a place as she had ever visited in her whole lite.” Half Hour at Mission. From this she went to the tidy little mis- sion on Tenth street. There she passed an enjoyable half hour, listening to the young voices of the children of the nelghborhood sing words that sounded strange and sur- passingly sweet in such surroundings. Mrs. Natlon appeared to take no note of time or distance, but her delegation did, and brought her tour to an end after a short visit at Wirth's garden. For the next half hour she rested and lunched at ber room at the hotel and then went to the station to take her train. In the wait- ing room she reproached every man with & clgar In his mouth and on the platform made a special target of Mr. Potter, man- ager of the lunch room. On the car plat- form she halted to hold a joint debate with & young man from the farm who recently graduated from cubebs to real cisarettes and was proud of it. The usual crowd gathered and she passed on fnto the car only when the train began to move. No House-to-House Canva: At the meeting of the Advisory board this week will be taken up the subject of abat- ing smallpox according to the rules laid down by Dr. Wertenbaker of the Unitea States marine hospital corps, who recently visited Omaha at the request of the State Board of Health. Dr. Ralph, health com- missioner, said: “I hardly think there will be a house-to- house canvass, as Dr. Wertenbaker sug- gested, though we may apply that rule in a modified form. It will probably be confined to the cheap lodging house district. We have already begun to urge vaccination in large institutions with greater insistence.” —_— CURES WEAK MEN FREE.

GENTLEMEN :—While it has never been my habit or inclination to recommend rem= edies the Ingredients of which are not all known to me, It seems as if I should make an exception in the case of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
