é)lAHA COLONY FOR IDAHO Prominent Business Men Go to File on Timber Lands. INTEND TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTIES and Is Sald to Be Rich | 4 Adaptable to Dives Farming—Gen n road . News, Thirty-nine prominent Omaha men left Wednesday night over the Burlington In a epecial oar for Idaho, where they will take up timber claims near Lewiston or Poca- tello. Among the tourists are: Tom Collins Havens, Paul Chariton, C. W, Ralney, C. W. Hull, A. W. Rawitzer, Frank Brownlee, George Kean, Dr. A. H. Hipple, A. B. Hunt, H. H Baldrige, Willlam Siller, Harry B. Morrell, Chartes Leslie, Ralph Kitchen, David Dickinson, W. A. De Bord, A. W. Johnson, Harry B. Zimman, Stockton Heth and others, who will file clalms sent representatives with the party. Each man intends to file on a quarter section of timber land. ©n their trip they will be gone only ten days and the actual filing will not take place for some weeks or months, perhaps. The land lles in the mountain divide and is covered with valu- able timber. The claims are not taken for timber culture purposes. They wiil be held as homesteads and improved to their high- est possibilitte: With thirty-nine claimants flling on a total acreage of 0,460, this growing section of Idaho will comprise a large Omaba colony, and as most of the settlers repre- sent substantial Interests, it is reasonable to suppose that within a short period a far more extensive territory will be pre- empted by Omahans and Nebraskans. The land filed on 1s safd to be highly adapted €0 diversified farming, and besides the profits to be derived from the timber when it is removed either In whole or in art the land will be open for agricultural pur- poses and stock raising, which may also be & leading pursult, as the grazing is excels lent In this part of the state. The tract now accessible to colonization ls a very large one and the same {nducements which have taken this contingent of Gate City men to the mew country may be expscted to lure others out before a great while. The party which has just left will be gone about ten daye. Business will be combined with pleasure, and fishing aud hunting is expected to afford some di- versicn for the men. Most, if not all of them, will visit Yellowstone Park and other points of interest in the northwest before thelr return. Passenger Men's Plenie. Local passenger and ticket agents have received invitations from the passenger and ticket agents of Kansas City to attend the tenth annual piculc of .the latter at Troost park, Kansas City, June 28. The Invitation i a rather unique affair. It displays a number of prominent rallway men of Kansas City well known here, who have been promoted to substantial posi- tions, etanding upon the several grada- tions of a pyramid representing the order and rank of their promotions. On the pin- nacle stands H. N. Garland, formerly with the Wabash, now retired after a most suc- cessful career. Mr. QGarland is In tele- phonic commurication with the sphinx who sits & short distance from the pyramid and is suppesed to be Interviewed by the re- tired railroader for “tips’’ on his future. A. H. Hilton, general passenger agent of the ‘Frisco; C. E, Styles, assistant general passenger agent for the Missouri Pacific, and others who have had recent promotions, occupy places well to the top of the pyramid. It is probable that a large delegation of Omaha ticket and passenger men will take advantage of this invitation, Ohange in Service.

The tourist car which has been attached to traln No. 8, leaving Omaha at 4:26 p. m., will hero- after go out on train No. 5, which leaves this city at 11:30 p. m.

Hazel Robertson, a little girl 12 years of age, reached Omaha, her former home, from North Bend, Neb., Wednesday night over the Unfon Pacific after an absence from the city of about two weeks to find that her parents had moved from the residence they occupied when she started upon her trip, and so far as she and those who have been assisting her in her quest have been able to determine, are not in Omaha. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Smith, formerly lived at 2117 Clark street. This was thelr home and Hazel's when the child left a fortnight ago for a visit with rela- tives at North Bend. She says she knew of: her folks' intention to move and ex- {pected that she would be given the address ot their new residence, but that she has not. Shortly prior to her departure from North Bend she wrote her parents saying she would be home at a certain time, but having then heafd of their change in rest- dence she merely Addressed the letter care general delivery, and so far as she knows the missjve did not reach her father and mother.

Mrs. Adams is nearly 72 years old, and that the fall did not result in more serious injuries seems almost a miracle. 8he fell down the entire flight of twenty- four steps, a distance of about sixteen feet, but no bomes were broken. She Is suffer- ing considerable paln at present, but her physiclan thinks she will recover. It is the opinion of the household that Mrs. Adams was walking in her sleep at the time. LOCAL BREVITIES.

A short time before the departure of the train the party began to arrive at the station, each one carrying advertising labels, buttons and streamers. There was then formed a mutual advertis- ing soclety, in which every person took full membership. The Insignia of the new order was a badge of each firm represented on the trip, worn in a conmsplcuous place upon the coat. When the space on the front of the coat was filled the back was made available, and it was an unpopular member, indeed, who was not covered with advertising matter. The Twenty-second regiment band ar- rived just before the train started and played a couple of selections before em- barking. The South Omaha contingent had a special car provided, on which were banners advertising South Omaha as a stock market.

AFFECTS THE PRICE OF FINERY Strike of Paterson Dyers Will Likely Send Price of Ribbons Higher, The strike at Paterson, N. J., which is attracting so much attention on account of the riots, 1s having & greater effect In the jobbing centers of the country than might be expected when the comparatively small number of men involved is con- sidered. The principal dying houses of the country are located at Paterson and it is In this line of business that the strikers are engaged. The silk mills have thelr ribbons dyed In that city, and now that the strike s on it is impossible to get tha goods returned for shipment to the job- bing houses. N. A. Speisberger, president of the Spelsberger millinery firm of this city, sald: “This strike at Paterson is no new thing for us. It has been in progress for months, and we are having the greatest diffcult to secure ribbon to fill our orders. The mills cannot get the goods from the dye houses, and unless the strike comes to a sudden end it will make the supply of fall ribbons very short and prices will be cor- respondingly high." Local dry goods jobbers report no shor- tage at this time of the grades of rib- bons handled by them, but say that if the strike continues there will be a shortage in the fall, as this is the time when the mills are preparing goods for the fall de- livery. FIFTY THOUSAND FOR AN EYE Trial of Damage Suit Resulti Shooting nat Barker Hotel, While his mother and attorneys wers engaged before Judge McPherson in an at- tempt to recover $50,000 from the Barker hotel people for the loss of his left eye, little Freeman Clancy, with a shield cov- erlng the pitiful wound where his eye had been, played unconcernedly around the United States circuit court room yesterday. Freeman is the boy who was accidentally shot by Ernest Lacey, a bellboy at the Barker hotel, on the night of January 15 last. He is a merry faced, intelligent look- 1ng lad, and is now 6 years of age. A game of solitary base ball, which he instituted within the bar inclosure attracted more attention from the onlookers in court than did the trial of the case. Mrs. Freeman was on the stand yesterday morning. The suit is brought by the boy through her as his mext friend, and is di- rected against George E. Barker, Willlam A. Redick, administrator of the estate of Joseph Barker, deceased, the Barket Hotel company and Frank Barker. Mrs. Freenfan related the circumstances of the accident s far as she kmew them, and sald that in addition to being blind in one eye the boy had also suffered since the accident from extreme nervou PICNIC FOR NEWSPAPER MEN ay is the Day and Lake The Tri-City Press club will give its an- nual pienic at Mauawa on Wednesday, June 5.

In almost every neighborhood someons has died from an attack of collc of cholera morbus, often before medicine could e procured or a physiclan summoned.

It can always be depended upon. | South Omaha News. The city ordinances are being violated every day by business men who place signs and banners over and across sidewalks. At the present time quite a number of banners are exposed to view, being stretched across the walks. In some instances under Mayor Kelly permission was given for special oc- caslons when the cause was for charity and the people did not complain, but now that the practice seems to be getting gen- eral, a demand is to be made of Mayor Koutsky that the city ordinances governing this matter be enforced. Recent windstorms have blown down nu- merous signs which were placed in ex- posed positions over the sidewalks, and this has caused the demand for the enforce- ment of the ordinance. The city permits signs to extend four feet from the building at a suitable helght above the pavement, but no attention is pald to the regulations and the council is to be asked to put a stop to the practice of displaying signs and banners which are erected in violation of the regulations. Etter Wants Hose. Chiet Etter of the fire department is going to make a request of the city council for the purchase of more hose. The number of fires recently has caused a considerable loss and at least 1,000 feet more are needed at once. With three companies in service rubber hose is used up rapidly, and now the chief is preparing to recommend ths purchase of cotton jacket hose. It is as- serted by some that this cotton hose works much better in the fire wagons in use here than the rubber hose. Incendinry Fires. Of late several fires have occurred and the officers of the department are confident that they were of incendlary origin. 8o frequent have these fires become that the insurance companies have taken up the matter and it is asserted that insurance rates in the western part of the city will be raised unless additional fire protection is given at once. Since the burning of the Fourth ward fire hall the company formerly station on Indian Hill bas been located at No. 1 house. It is & long run over to the hill and consequently the protection is not what it was before the burning of the fire hall. Placing More Cables. The Nebraska Telephone company has & force of men at work putting in more ca- bles. Some time ago an appropriation was made .to construct & certain number of cables. The lucrease in business has been the means of causing an Increase in the appropriation and also an increase in the force of men here. It appears to be the intention of the company to place nearly i not all of the wires in the business por- tion of the city in cables. Examinations Commence Today. Today the usual three days’ examinations of school teachers commences in the a: sembly room at the High school buildin, Last year 104 teachers were employed and the board has so far thls year elected about ninety teachers, 0 that only a few vacancies remain. The examining board is made up of Dr. Willlam Henry Loechner, Attorney H. B. Fleharty and Attorney A. C. Pancoast. The schedule for the examinations has been published, so that the chances are that all interested are famillar with the program. Valu, ed. The Board of Review was in session all day yesterday and will continue to sit for a week. So far twenty-one complaints bave been filed, but they are all of minor importance; As corfected by the tax com- missioner the valuation is shown to be $16,220,000. This is quite an increase over the valuation of last year, which was $2,500,- 000. Members of the Board of Review say that positive figures as to the valuation cannot be given out untll the close of the session. ton Incre: Magie City Gossip.

The people of the mining camps and the gay society of the metropolis are set forth with a vivid real- ism. The central figure is a young man, Percival Bines, born west, but bred and cducated east. His father's sudden death is the first step in bringlng out his eterling qualities. A great property has been in- herited and he must preserve it. While visiting one of his silver mines he meets the girl whose life is entwined with his own. She comes of a decadent New York tamily. Her beauty is the cornerstone on which rest the hopes of her house for regllding its ancient glory. A wealthy marriage 1s the only means. To those around her she 18 a mercenary fortune hunter, 1In fact, she has bocome hardened, artificlalized and changed by conditions. Percival dls- covers this and the revelation holds them apart. He immediately plunges into the gavest life in New York society, and with his good mother and sister proceeds to spend the family millions. His old grand- father, famillarly known as Uncle Peter, hears of this, and hurries east. To the reader's surprise, he does not interfere, but he, too, plunges into the social whirl- pool and seems to enjoy it. Meanwhile, after being convinced that Percival does not care for her, Avice Milbrey becomes en- gaged to a wealthy man. Percival’s grand- father pushes him into audacious Wall street speculations. Uncle Peter aims to teach the young man a lesson. Everything goes, property of mother, sister, self; but the shrewd grandfather, quietly and unbe- known plays the other side of the market and saves from the wreckage a snug pile of millions. Percival now ehows the true metal of his race, pulls himself together and determines to fight his way back to for- tune in the west, where his gramdfather and father prospered before him. On the eve of his departure he plans to meet Avice Milbrey and is overwhelmer by the re- turn of his old love. He takes the girl by storm in the most striking chapter of the book. Through all, the character ot Uncle Peter stands out in sterling worth, bright, witty and wise; and the two young people, man and woman, are shown to be after the highest development of American life.

She fegards this novel as her most serious effort. “It 1s the product,” she sald in a recent interview, “of long years of observation and thought. My head is fairly crammed with the subject.

Mr. Baugs occuples a unique field in American lettere—a field of remarkable originality both as to the themes he selects and his method of making them' funny. in “Olymplan Nights” he has conceived the bappy idea of placing a modern story among the Greclan gods and goddesses, Mount Olympus appearing as a sort of Waldorf-Astoria of the gods, where Cupid runs the elevator and Jupiter is referred to as “the 0ld man.” The hero of the story, while travelling ln Greece under the care of his apparently faithtul guide, Hippopo- polis, finds himself one night at the foot of Mount Olympus. Hippopopolls robs him after he falls asleep in a cave. When he awakes he discovers in the cave the ele- vator run by Cupid, and, entering it, he rises a long distance and finds himself in the country of the gods. His adventures are most amusing, and will cause many & hearty laugh. Street & Smith have published & new novel by the remowned and admired Alex- andre Dumas, entitled, “The King's Gal- lant.” Dumas wrote it as & play, and under its original title of “Henri 111 et ea Cour,” it became exceedingly popular in France. This s the first time it bas been novelized. There is & real love story in ““The King's Gallant,” and Dumas tells it with all the dramatic force of his genius. The villain is the Duke of Guise who is desirious of wedding & princess who in turn is loved by e S G 5 A b 08 the dashing Count of St. Megrin, the King’ Gallant. Guise is consumed by a passionate hatred for his rival, and before the hour ap- pointed for a duel with St. Megrin, we see } him in the rooms of the princess endeavor- | ing to force her to write a decoy letter to St. Megrin, directing him to come to her | by a secret stairway. Knowing the treach- | ery of the villainous Guise, and surmising | that this is a bold plot to crush the count, | she refuses to write. He puts to her lips a | poison cup, but she faints before she can drink. Guise finds another means of send- | Ing the letter, and the hapless St. Megrin, | | all unconscious of harm, repairs secretly to | the apartments of the princess. He has | | barely time to hear the story of the plot | and to learn that in spite of all she loves him with her whole heart, when the duke's men are heard outside. He locks the door and etands at bay, waiting till his enemy | has forced an entrance. It is a thrilling | moment. The count's days seemed num- | bered, when suddenly a rope’'s end dangles down the chimney, dropped there by a faithful page. St. Megrin quickly grasps the situation, fastens the rope to a ledge and flings it out of the window. Before | he can descend a stalwart figure proceeds to climb upward. Friends are at hand. There | 18 a sharp conflict, and in the confusion the | duke flies and the princess is abducted by his men. Later St. Megrin locates his lady | 1ove and paves the way to a joyous wedding by slaying the Duke of Guise in a duel “Strangers at the Gate' by Samuel Gor- don, is a collection of tales of Russian Jewry published by the Jewish Publication soclety of America. Into the theorles the author has poured the virtues, the supersti- tions, the wrongs, the vain longings, the Latreds and the ideals of the Jews. “The Daughters of Shem,” the first and longest story in the volume, Is an analysis of a young Russian Jewess, who, having been educated in the freer atmosphere of Ger- many, returned unwilliogly to the dullness and restrictions of a small Russian town. Here she divides her time between reading German novels, attending to her father's shop, helping her younger eister, Salka, nurse their invalid mother, and dreaming dreams of the brilliant life just out of reach. A high-born Jewish lover, endowed with rare gifts of learning and a liberal share of worldly goods, who is also. for- tunate enough to have secured the favor of her parents, offers himself at the very moment when opportunity as well as de- sire beckons her from the bondage of Judiasm into the freedom of a gentile love. “Animals at Home"” is a new collection for children of the fourth or fifth grades, by Lillian L. Bartlett. In simple style it gives sketches of the lives and habifs of twenty-five representative birds, animals, fishes and insects. These are most inter- estingly presented and speclal care has been taken to make the subfect matter cor- rect. The author has gone to reMable sources for information, and used the de- scriptions of eye witnesses for many of the incidents. The book is attractively illus- trated from drawings and photographs, and will, we feel sure, tend to awaken in the child an appreciation for nature and a love for nature study.

John A. Cone s at present working upon a novel dealing with some personal experi- ences in the Hawailan islands. The book ought to be well worth reading, for Mr. Cone is thoroughly acquainted with Hawail and his sketches already published in “A Musical Reformation,” published by the Ab« bey Press, 114 Fifth avenue, New York, indicate that he knows something about the art of story telling. He lived. for three years in Hawall and upon his return to the United States the San Francisco New's Letter had this to say about his lecture delivered at the Baldwin theater, San Fran- cisco. “It was an Intellectual treat to those who were fortunate enough to pat- ronize it. The lecture contains a vast amount of information and does it suc- cinetly and in a most entertalning manner. Mr. Cone's observations are, in fact, bet- ter than all the printed descriptions that have been published about King Kala- kaua's insular dominions.” Meehans' monthly for June varies the se- lection of Its beautiful Prang lithographs in illustrating the Carolina Buckthorn, a native shrub, instead of a wild-flower of the herbaceous class.
