|4 2 i THE OMAHA DAILY BEE UGUST 190: 17, CURRENT COUNCIL ACQUAINTANCE IS COSTLY Norfolk Man Oomplains of Being Robbed of Watch and Money at Manawa. BELIEVES BEER HE DRANK WAS DRUGGED Charges 1t Up to an Acquaintance Made on the Train a Com. panions Who Joined Him n Grounds, Herman Winkler, ot Norfolk, Neb., com- plained to the police after midnight Satur- day that'he had been robbed of 3255 and @ gold watch and chain At Lake Manawa by four'mén with whom he had been drink- ing. Winkler told the police he belleved he had been drugged by thé men who robbed him. Winkler is employed a8 a section hand on the Unfon Paciflc and.came to Omaha Baturday on a littls vacation, and in order to thoroughly enjoy the trip brought with him a large portion of his savings. On the train he met a stranger who engaged Rim in conversation and befors reaching Omaha ascertained that Winkler had plenty of money In his pockets. Winkler and the stranger separated on the train reaching Omaha, but the stranger evidently kept Winkler in sight. While Winkler was standing on Farnam street looking at the tall bulldings and speculating as to which part of the city to go to have some fun, his acquaintance of the train happened along. He greeted Winkler as an old time friend and the latter felt somewhat honored by being recognized by such a nice appear- ing man. It was then the stranger, evi- dently a professional confidence man, began to get In his work. He had come to Omaha to see the sights just as ‘Winkler had. He had ‘heard that Lake Manawa was a very beautiful resort and suggested that he and Winkler take a ride there. Arriving at the lake the stranger com- plained of being very thirsty and sug- gosted they have a bottle of beer. While eated In the pavilion the stranger was surprised to see three friends of his and invited them to join him and Winkler in another bottle. Winkler told the police that he only remembered drinking two bottles of beer when he became deathly sick. His companions suggested going to a more secluded part of the park and assisted him to a seat in a dark cormer of Shady grove. Winkler had a long vomit- ing spell and was, he thinks, partly un- consclous. When he came to his com- panions had disappenred and so had his watch and chain and his pocketbook, con- taining $286. The money consisted of four $50 bills, $80 in tens and fives, and $ in sllver. The watch was valued at $40. When Winkler came to it was past mid- night. He succeeded in making his way to the gates where he met Special Officer Meisner, ~ A search of the grounds was made for the four men, but they had un- doubtedly left the place long before. Winkler is of the opinion that while drinking the second bottle of beer, one of his newly met acquaintances put some knockout drops in his tumbler whije his ; attention was called elsewhere by one of the gang. Winkler went back to Omaha yesterday for the purpose of seeing if he could find the man who accompanied him to Manawa. MEET TO TALK TEMPERANCE Sixth District Convention of W. C. T.

Bids have been asked for approximately 08,000 linear feet of brick sldewalk, four feet wide; 6,300 linear feet of brick sidewalk, six feet wide and 28.- 000 square feet of artificial stone sidewalk. The artificlal stone sidewalks are to - place the old brick walks on both sides of Broadway between First and Thirteenth streets and on South Main streets from Broadway to Sixteenth avenue. Both on Broadway and Main street a large amount of new cement walks have been laid by the property owners in ac- cordance with the orders issued by the city council but many have taken no notice of the order and now the work will be done by the city and assessed against the abutting property.

PAROLE SYSTEM IS FOUND TO WORK WELL Superintendent Se of Boys' Industrial I Wishes State to Put in & Printing Office an Bindery, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 16.—(Special)—The plan for a reformatory for the state of lowa to partially relleve the state prisons und to put the penal system of the state {on a more modern basis will probably be more strongly urged before the legislature next winter than before the last legislature. | Warden Hunter of the state penftentiary | at Anamosa, in his blennial report just made, makes a strong recommendation in favor of a reformatory. He would have | this institution for first offenders. He calls attention to the fact that a great majority of those who are committed to the penitentiary for the first time are of a o distinctly different from the old offenders, and that they should be treated | |not as confirmed or hardened criminals, but as persons subject to reformatory in- fluences, The plan is to establish a re- formatory for persons who are not, In fact, confirmed criminals and not to send them to the penitentiaries. Warden Hunter | makes a strong plea for this in his report During the biennial period just closed he | reports fifty-seven paroles, and of these only four have been returned as unworthy of the paroles fssued. Six others pre- viously paroled had been returned during the perfod. But the discipline of the penitentlary has been excellent, not one {making an attempt to escape, though one who previously escaped was returned There was a decrease of 60 per cent during the perfod in the number of those who had to be punished by the solitary. There are 411 inmates at the penitentlary, of which twenty are females. The increase in the period Is only thirty-one. The largest number from any one county In the northern district was from Linn county, 51; with Woodbury, 50; Dubuque, 31; Web- ster, 14; Fayette, 11; Benton, Blackhawk and Clayton, 10 each; Chickasaw and Plymouth, 9 each; Floyd and Jones, $ each, and no other county more than 7. Of the Nfers in the penitentiary since the be- ginning there were 64 for murder in the first degree, 17 for second degree, 4 for rape, 1 for assault to commit rape and 2 for rob- bing the malls. Nine persons have been in the penitentiary under death sentence, and of two went back to the sheriffs under the old law for execution, three had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment, two got new trials from the supreme court, and two are still awaiting action by court. During the last year the warden has occupled the new and palatial admintstra- tion bullding at the penitentiary which was constructed by oomvict labor. The warden asks for appropriations to pro- vide the steel for completing the north cell- | have never besn exposed to scabbies, house, $37,660, and $10,000 for & new work- shop, His cther requirements call for an appropriation of $13,90 for the biennial period. The expense of the penitentiary has been rapidly decreased. The biennial period ended June 30, 18%9, the Cost for support and salaries was 3$254,884.85, the next biennial period only $204,791.08, and the biennial period just closed, $177,076.12. The convicts during the last blennial period did work estimated as worth to the state, §141,- 15971 Print Shop for Incorrigibles. The superintendent of the Btate Industrial School for Boys at Eldora, in his report, makes a strong recommendation in favor of a printing office and outfit for the boys at that school. He states: Your superintendent has long thought that a printing office should be establi: here where o class of boys could learn the printers' trade. With the bullding of our new shop, which is now belng erected, room will be'provided for a printing and binding establlshment in which not only the work of the Institution could be done, but the printing and binding of all state institutions. The state owns one printing establish- ment—at Glenwood. The boys there have made good use of it and all the institution printing is done there. At Anamosa the prisoners have a print shop and a paper is printed. But far more could be done at Eldora than at either of the other institu- tions, and it is belleved the legislature will take kindly to the suggestion made in the report. Superintendent Miles asks for $3,000 with which to purchase material for the beginning of his printing establishment. Fit Up President's House. The board of trustees of the Btate col- lege has decided upon furnishing complete | the home of the president ,of the college. | The college owna the fine residence which |the presidents occupy, but the late Dr. | Beardshear owned the furniture and out- fit. The widow wiil take this away soon. The board has decided that in view of the (f4ct that the president's residence s much used by the students for college work it {will furnish the same practically complete and not require the new president to ex- pend a large portion of his first year's sal- | ary In furnishing a house that is so much | a part of the college life. The board holds & meeting next Thursday to do this work and for other purposes. Interesting Mixed Law Sult, | A somewhat remarkable tawauit s sched- +uled for the next term of vourt in Indian- | ola. W. H. Jolner has sued J. M. Hall, | | formeriy mayor of Spring Hill, for damag for alleged altenation of Jolner's wife's affections. Joiner pleaded gullty to forgery last January and was sentenced to tho pen- itentfary, ‘but has since been released on parole. Hall was arrested about the same tme for compounding a felony in that he aided in passing the spurtous note, and Jolner was & witness against Hall. The latter put up @ bond of $1,600. In the mean~ timo Joiner commenced the sult for dam- ages against Hall for allenation of his wife's affections and attached the bonds or money put up us bonds. Hall fled to Canada and Jolner's wife has since been | accused of Insanity, but is supposed to have | gone to Canada also. Assessed Too Much. The fact has just been brought out that in making the assessment on the Waterloo- Cedar Falls Interurban the executive coun- cll did not have before it the report of the company and accepted the census report as correct as to mileage, & mistake was made in crediting the company with over forty miles of line when it possesses about half that extent of track.

New rules covering weak points in the regulations already in force were also promulgated It has developed that a number of Albany county sheepmen are doing everything they can to escape the dipping of their sheep. A protest was flled with Governor Chatter- ton a few days ago by some of the flock- masters of that section who charged that the government inspectors have been work- ing hardships upon the flockmasters of Albany county; that they insist on dipping flocks that are free from scab and which that the Inspectors invade fenced tracts where scables have not existed for years, etc Governor Chatterton communicated with the Interfor department, and was advised that the matter would be investigated. Mr. Hickox, the agent in charge, says he has investigated the matter and finds that the charges of the Albany county flockmas- ters are not founded on fact and are simply made in order to escape dipping. It is the intention to clean up scables in this state if possible and while there is no intention to work a hardship upon anyone, the government agents do intend to dip all flocks that have been exposed. . In this way, and in no other, can they hope to rid the ranges of Wyoming of the disease. Kerr's Selection Gratifying. HURON, 8.

Ware will prove as unpopular & commis- sloner of pensions as was H. Clay Evan: The Grand Army fought Evans until Pres- ident Roosevelt transferred him from the pension bureau to the consular service, and now it would seem that veterans are pre- paring to bring about the removal of Ware. For some time Grand Army men have been finding fault with the commissioner for his policy of barring old soldiers from the pen- slon rolls by strict construction of the pen- sion laws. They have also objected to his course in reducing the salaries of veterans who hold positions in the pension service. The commissioner recently recefved a hint to the effect that the Grand Army encamp- ment in San Francisco would probably talke action looking to an investigation of his methods and that he should be on hand when the encampment met and answer any questions that might be asked. Accord- ingly he left a few days ago for San Fran- cisco in order to be on the ground early. Ware has also caused criticism from the Grand Army by his statement that veterans 1n the pension service who can not perform the work assigned to them should resign and give way to younger men, and that he intended to get rid of the “dead Wood, meaning old employes, at the pension bu- reau, as soon ps possible. As a matter of fact-there are’few employes in the pension service who are older than the commis- sloner, and’ probaly none who show their age as plainly as he does. Therefore the veterans say the commissioner's disparaging remarks about old men in the government service come with poor grace. Ware Reads No Pape! The newspapers are also saying things that displease the commissio Just be- rampment Mr. Ware declared that he had stopped reading news- papers because since he entered the pen- sion bureau he had found that they printed #0 many things about him that were not true that he had reached the point where he was not prepared to place confidence in anything they contained. As a matter of fact there are people who think the’com- missioner himself should be more certain of his facts than he is at times. Recently a man named Martin was removed from a clerkship at the pension agency in Topeka, Kan. He protested against his removal upon fhe ground that it was not legal and charged that Commissioner Ware had vio- lated the civil service regulations. Mr. Ware replied that he had really had noth- ing to do with Martin's removal except in the most perfunctory way, as he had re- moved the clerk upon the recommendation of the pension agent at Topeka, Mr. Met- calf. The latter replied In a newspaper interview that he had never requested Ware to remove Martin and that the commis- sioner had removed him entirely on his own responsibility. An examination of the records of the pension bureau shows that Ware removed Martin because the clerk had written the commissioner a letter which Ware regarded as Insulting and abusive Martin, in this letter, charged Ware with having his salary and the salarles of other clerks reduced to make a place for a poli- ticlan His language was not parliamen- Palatable — Nutritious — Easy of Digestion and Ready to” Eat VE Pcer Dr. Price, the creator of Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and Delicious Flavoring Extracts, A oook book contalning 76 exocellent receipts for using the Food malled free te any address.

The equestrian statue of General Sherman, which is to be erected just south of the treasury bullding, is to be unvelled in the autumn, and the pleces that make up the statue as well as the outriders, so- called, are being taken to the spot selected by the commission for purposes of being as- sembled together for the dedication. Carl Rolt Smith, the sculptor, who won the honor of making the Sherman statue, died |in Copenhagen a year or more ago. The | widow, also an artist, undertook to work {out her husband's designs with the ald of one of the best known sculptors in Europe, and as a result of her efforts the statue will be erected by the Army of the Ten- | nessee and unquestionably will be one of the commanding statues in a city which is destined to be known as the statuesque clty of America. It is surprising how the Washingtonlan runs to “the man on horseback” in statues. | Quite 9 per cent of the historic figures that ornament the squares and esplanades of Washington are mounted on flery stecds, that “scent the battle from afar.” Grant 18 10 be on horseback, Thomas 18 on horse- back, Jackson is on a rocking-horse, Han- cock is on a steady-stepping farm horse, Scott is on horseback, McPherson is on a Kentucky thoroughbred, and the father of his country is mounted upon a splendid A MAGAZINE OF CLEVER FICTION SEPTEMBER—OUT TO-DAY— 15c.
