GIRL TELLS HER OWN STORY Olara Josephine Ooffin Relates Btrange Tiae of Her Flight West. CLINGS TO THEORY SHE WAS ENTRANCED At Flome of Postmaster Crow, She s Arrival, Still from Nervous Prostration, For the first time since her arrival In Omaha Thursday night after her thrilling escape from alleged kidnapers near Cedar Rapids, la., Miss Clara Josephine Coffin of Bast Orange, N. J., yesterday was seen by someone outside of the immediate family cirole of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Crow, at the home of Postmaster Crow, 408 South Fortieth street, where she is staying. A reporter for The Bee was admitted to the Crow home and allowed to converse with the daughter of the wealthy New York broker. Miss Coffin was found suffering intensely from the nervous shock induced by her ex- traordinary experfence, but she talked ra- tionally of all that she remembers from the time she met the mysterious man and womay last Tuesday morning In East Orangé. Her memory, however, Is almost a blank on the trip across the continent, and #he only recalls being in Chicago until sne was sufficlently roused from her stupor to make the successful attempt to elude her tormenters at the little station in Iowa, the name of which she does not recall. “I had noticed this woman several times on the streeta before she accosted me last Tuesday,” sald Miss Coffin. Her black eyes seemed to command obedience from the first. Tuesday, as I was going from my home to the gymnasium, she spoke to me. Bbe, told me to go home and pack my clothes. 1 was impelled by some power I w.tOUld Not explain or resist to do her bid- ding. 1 not only took a bundle of clothing, but brought along my purse. I know I had several dollars—more than fifteen, 1 think. I returned to the woman and we were Joined by a man. Cannot Describe Man. *No," sald Miss Coffin, in reply to a ques- tion, “I do not remember what this man o like. All I can recall is that we got to & closed carriage. I remember nothing gre until we crossed the Hudson river to York. I cannot remember getting on at Chicago.’ “How did you know you were in Chi- 7" was asked. ¥ “Asaw the signs on the bulldings,” was réply, and the young girl began to PR tmble violently as the littls she remem- b of her weird ride was called vividly to mind. Hesitating only for a short time, Miss Coffin proceeded. “I remember nothing more until-we &r- rived at Ceder Rapids. By that time I had Tecovered, I thought, and I watched my ity and got out of the car. I got on the train to telegraph to I got off the train at a little deemed it best to bring the inter- BE. W.

Crow stated that Miss Coffin was. still suffering intensely from the nervous strain, but that she thought her complete A TEST EXPERIMENT., Peculiar Power Possessed by a New Medioine. Of new discoveries there is no end, but one of the most recent, most remarkable and one which will prove invaluable to. thousands of people is & discovery which belleved will take the place of all remediés for the cure of those com- diseases, dyspepsia and This discovery is not a e B3, B8 i ; ’y b i £ £ § 3 §§ia § its own welght of meat, other wholesome food. And this bas been proven by actual experi- ts in the following manner: A hard bolled egg cut Into small pleces was placed § £ 1o ninety-elght degrees (or blood heat); one of these Tablets was then placed in the bottlo and the proper temperature main tained for three hours and a half, at the others palpitation or headaches, pains in chest and under blades, extreme nervousness as in mervous dyspepsia, but they all have the same cause—fatlure to properly digest what is eaten. ' The stomach must have rest and assistance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by digesting the food for it, and in & short time it is re- stored to its normal action and vigor. At same time the Tablets are so harmless that & child can take them with benefit. « preparation has already made astonishing cures, as, for instance, the following: After using only one package of Stuart's 1 have recelved such ted benefit that I wish my sincere gratitude.

Miss Coffin greatly appreciates the kimd- neéss she is recélving at the hands of her Omaha relatives and much of the dread of her strange experience has already worn off. Bhe avolds referring to 1t herself and the subject Is not broached by any mem- ber of the household, at Miss Coffin's re- Qquest, At the time of Miss Coffin’'s sudden and mysterious disappearance from her home in Bast Orange Ler teachers at the high school and friends expressed the belle that the young woman's mind had been slightly upset by over-study, and her father is quoted by a New York paper as having taken the same view. Fatled in Her School Work. In the New York Sun, under aate line of November 4, {8 a story from East Orange on Miss Coffin's disappearance, in which it is sald that the girl, In ‘preparation for Vassar college, had been carrying extra studies at high school and had dropped below grade in her mathematics and that it 1s belleved she worried|over this and preferred to disappear rather than return to school under the circumstances. The same report says that Tuesday night Miss Coffin told her folks at home she wanted to run over to see a girl friend, Miss Jessie Houston, and that she dis- appeared at 8:40 that night and has not been seen since. Her faflure to return trightened her father and prostrated her mother, end the police there, in New York and other citles were immediately advised to look for the missing girl. A thorough search was being made, when Miss Coffin turned up at hef cousin's in Omaha. The general impression gathered from eastern reports is that the girl had worrfed her- self sick over her school work. COUNCILMEN ARE = AROUSED Indignant at Efforts to Prevent Pay- ment of Bills for Municlp Paving, Hostllities between the ecity council and the Barber Asphalt company have not been sweetened any by recent unofficial acts of one of the local representatives of the trust. In the fight made to prevent payment of bills incurred in municipal repairs to asphalt letters have beert written to the bonding companies, sureties for the council- men, advising that the lawmakers will be held responsible on .their bonds for the amounts pald. - After an investigation the surety compa- nies daclined to caacel the bonds. “I do not fear the cancellation of my bon #ald one of the councilmen, ,“as I could get personal surety without trouble, but the method used arouses my resent- ment. It will not help to heal the breach between the Barber company and the city, and will have an effect towards the con- struction of a municipal asphalt plant. In- stead of confining itself strictly to repairs, as.was at first proposed, you may see Omaha laying its own asphalt pavements. There seems to be little or no guestion, in view of the work done this season, but that the city can put down asphalt paving better and cheaper than has been obtained by con- tract.” Considerable asphalt paving fu the busi- mess district s yet to be repaired, but has been delayed by the slow arrival of mate- rial from the west. “BOXERS” RUN OUT OF TOWN Billy Rhoades and Man Passed Tommy Ryan Leave at Judge Berka's Request. Bllly Rhoades and ‘Philadelphia Tommy" Ryan, the principals in a boxing match ¥riday night ot Washington hall, were given three hours to shake the dust Omaha from their garments by Ju Berka. Neither attempted to explal s actions, but accepted sentence graggfully and, bowing respecttully to Judge Beyka and City Prosecutor Thomas Lee, tookfoath to make themselves scarce Ahe time OMAHA VIEW IS | Improvement Club Gets EARNEST Good attendance marked the meeting Of the Omaha View Improvement club Friday evening, with President Callahan in the. chalf. A committee consisting of Messrs. J. Davis, B. F. Morearty and F. C. Monroe wu‘ appointed to wait on Councilman Evans and ascertaln of him the probability ot wlduring ‘certairi’ meeded and promised improvements, and to get a definite answer from him. - It was reported that Lake street between Thirty-first and Thirty-second" streéts had besn rendered practically impassible through the brick making firm of Withrow & Smith cutting out'several thousand cublo feet of Airt from the strect for making brick. Mr. Morearty was directed to file a complaint on behalf of the club with the proper city officlals against Messrs. With- row & Smith, and to take the necessary legal steps toward having them properly fined or punished for utilizing the public streets for their private gain and use. A complaint was also directed filed with the Board of Health against Anderson's dairy, west of Thirty-third street, between Lake and Blondo, public nuisance and menace to public health, and particularly for dumping refuse and offal from the datry within the city lmits. A motion prevalled directing the secre- tary, to pay to the Central Federated club the dues of the Omaha View club to that organization for the months of September, October and November. A proposition was discussed looking to In- teresting the women of Omaba View in the club and creating an auxillary. The bullding committes reported progress and favored the creation of a jaint stock company for bullding purposes. The come mittee will gubmit its report in writing at the next meeting. The project of a social under the aus- pices of wives of/the club members is being considered and will probably be carried out within the near future.

These are the principal changes of the time on the Union Pacific and the schedule will go into effect November 15. A few minor changes yet remaln to be considered, but these deal with the time of the tralus run- ning on tho branches. “The only noteworthy change on the Southern Pacific will be in the time of train No. 4, which will leave San Francisco at § o'clock a. m.

This matter has been under advisement for some time, but the officials would not divulge any- thing. REV. DR. TINDALL QUITS OMAHA Exchanges Pulpits With Rev. J. R. Smith of Grest Falis, Montans. Rev, D. K. Tindall, pestor of. Trinity of that place has been assigned to the pastorate at Trinity church. The change will probably be made some time during the next two weeks. Rev. Tindall, who goes to Montana, has been a member of the North Nepraska econfereuce for many years and durifg that time has occupled some of <he most im- portant pulpits in the conference, including the one which he now relinquishes. In many ways he has been a prominent figure in the Methodist church in this part of the world, The new pastor of Trinity is highly spoken of, both as & man and & pulpit orator by those who know him.
