\AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Poliosmen en the Oarpst Oharged with Driaking While en Dut; BOARD ARRIVES AT QUEER CONCLUSIONS Twe Who Are Proven Gullty Are Rep- ot Proven ed from * The meeting of the Fire and Police board | last night was a very tame affair, as com- pared to the expectations. In anticipation of a general shaking up of dry bones, the council chamber, where the meeting was held, was erowded. to the doors. It had been given out that a number of patrol- men were to be tried for violating the rules and regulations of the department, and each officer had from six to a dosen wit- nesses on hand. First on the call came Ofcers Brennan and Davidson. They were tried for having been cuught drinking in a saloon while on duty. It was not a hard matter to prove the truth of the chArges. After these of- ficers and the witnesses had been put through a long coutse of questioning by members of the board, Mr. Nolan arose and at considerable length explained his position in these cases. He sald that the men had been on the force only a short time, and poesibly were not thoroughly conversant with all of the rules. Further, he asserted that the particular rule under which the charges had been brought did not speclfy any penalty. Therefore he suggested that the men be fined ten daye’ pay, the fine dating from the date of wus- pension. Then the officers were given some advice by the board and were restored to duty. Next came Ed Kroeger. Captain Shields reported Kroeger for drinking In & saloon while on duty. Kroeger proved by the bar- tender of the place and a number of men who were in the saloon at the time that the officer had been called In to stop an ai- tercation going on at one of the card t bles. Witnesses went on to say that Kroe- ger was offered a drink of anything he wanted, but declined. He did finally drink A bottle of red pop. As he was leaving the #nloon, Kroeger met Captain Shields com- W in the door! Shields could not swear at he saw Kroeger drinking anything. ‘When the majority of the board saw that the charges had fallen through, the thought came to Nolan that Kroeger's ap- plication had never been formally acted upon by the board. Masson and all the members except Vansant wanted to take up the application and vote on it befors considering the charges. Vansant's protest 414 not wvall, and the vote on the applica- tion of this officer was taken, with the result that all the members with the ex- oeption of Vansant voted against the ap- plication. As by turning down the ap- plication Kroeger was no longer a mem- ber of the police force, the charges were not considered. This énded the trinls. Then the board gave Chiet Brigga special Instructions to fmpress upon his men the necessity of keep- ing out of saloons while on duty. Nolan said that when off duty and not in uni- form the men could do as they pleased. He stated that even when off duty he would insist that policemen pay for their beer, #0 as not to be under any obligations to liquor dealers. Aften more talk along the same lines to the chief, the board adjourned. Investigating Damiage Claims. ithin the last month or six weeks the y has turned down a dosen damage claims and the plan in force now Is to be continued. Now when a claim for personal injuries is filed it Is referred to the city attorney. An agent of the legal depart- ment is given the papers and makes a thorough inspection of the locality where accident was reported to have occurred. some instances & photograph of the | alk or street is taken and in every measurements are taken and compared Wwith the statements made in the claim. After this has been done the agent calls wpon the injured person and makes a re- He also visits the attending physi- and if possible secures a statement in writing. These papers are then returned to the city attorney, who advisea the coun- ell In the premises. In about nme cases out of ten the attorney advises that the claim be not allowed.

Rural Carriers Meetin At Plattsmouth on Thursduy the rural letter carrfers of Cass county will meet for the purpose of forming a county or- ton. President Cunningham of the onal association will attend this meet- ing. The rural carriers of Pawnee county will meet on the same day at Pawnee City for a similar purpose. Pregldent Cunningham sald last evening that it was the intention of the Natlonal association to form county organizations iIn every county where the rural service extends. In this way the national body ean keep in close touch with members and conditions all over the country. Already the rural flooded with ciroular letters from concerns in the sast proposing to endeavor to influ- ence legislation In favor of the carrlers for % . The Rural Free Delivery News, the ofi- clal organ of the order, calls attention to these letters in {ts last issue and warns carrfers from pufchasing memberships In such conceras.

After going Into the bids thor- oughly and doing some figuring the com- mittee came to the concluston that the blds had been based on the idea that the bonds were to run twenty years straight and that there wae no five-year clause. It was therefore decided to send a telegram 1o each of the bidders explaining that the fiva-year option clause should be consid- ered jn making bids. Replies t0 these telegrams are expected today but the com- mittee will not take any action until after Thanksglving. Bankers assert that the five-year option clause decreases the de- | sirability of the bonds consideradbly. In case those who have bid do not desire to accept the conditions the bonds will be | advertised again. Turkeys for Sale. Last evening we received a car con- talning %0 turkeys.

The recovered dead: ROB REISDALE. IRA ETUCKLAND. WILL KEHOE. MIKE WALKER W. D. MOORE. “GRANDPA" BROWN, father of pit boss Brown. The explosion occurred at 1 o'clock this afternoon. There were about 17 men in the varfous shafts at the time. All escaped without injury except the thirteen who were employed in entry “K.” the scene of the exploslon. The force of the explosion was terrific and timbers were torn from the walls of the passages for several hundred yards at the mouth of entry “K". The passages were 80 completely eb- structed that the work of rescuing the en- tombed men was tedlous in the extreme and several hours were consumed before the first body was found. It is thought that the gas was accident- ally ignitell by & miner’s lamp. The miners who escaped with the ald of others sum- moned from nearby shafts immediately set about clearing the passage, n the hope that some of the thirteen entombed men might have survived. By nightfall six bodies had been recov- ered and the rescue work is still in prog- ress. It is now considered certain that all of the entombed men have perished Fatal Explosion in Pennsylvania. DUBOIS, Pa., Nov. 2.—A mine explosion occurred near here this afternoon. It is re- ported that several men have been killed, but the particulars have not yet been re- celved PIANO FACTORY IN OMAHA. Hand Made Instruments Being Manu- factured Every Day in Year, Time was when the world knew of but one plano, but that was long ago before the master mind of man had broadened out in the vast fleld which then lay undeveloped and today there are many of these kbyed and stringed Instruments of varfous makes and qualities being sold and offered to the people In every continent. Perhaps it may not be gemerally known, but nevertheless it is a fact that right in the very heart of the city of Omaha these wonderful musical Instruments are being manufactured every day In the year. Instruments that are the peers of most of the planos now on the market, the makers being willing to pit them against the finest plano that can be produced by competing firms. The particular instrument in mind s made by Schmoller & Mueller and bears their name, which alone s & guarantee of excellence. They are sold on their merits and good qualities Instead of reputations gained in past years, and are pronounced Dby competent Judges to be the standard of excellence. A trip through the factory at 1316 Farnam street, where visitors are always welcome, will be of interest and Instructive to all avalling themselves of the opportunity. Here the plano is seen In all stages of construction until one is led up to the finishing room, where the perfected instru- ment Is shown. Only the finest materials are used by this firm in the construction of their planos and the work is under the direct supervision of Carl Sommer, a thorcugh student of the plano In every detatl, having learned his trade and belng connected for many years with the well known firm of Roenisch, ploneer manufacturers in Germany. He superintends . every part of the con- struction while the Instrument is under way and the fact that all Schmoller & Mueller planos put on the market are ex- clustvely hand made throughout only goes to show the great care exercised in the manufacture of the instruments, Great advantage is offered the purchaser in that he has no middleman to deal with, which n all cases makes the cost of the instrument at least thirty per cent higher. These planos are sold direct to the custo- mer by the manufacturers, thereby saving him considerable wmoney which otherwise would go to the agent. The Schmoller & Mueller planos are made in any design desired, and any wood se- lected. The very finest, well seasoned lumber is put into the cases, and some of the exquisite designs used in these would kindle the enthusiasm of any pllgrim to the musical world. The longer the eye dwells upon the Intricate works and the expuis- itely carved cases, the more one's mind is attuned to enjoy the musiclan’s fanciful flights and to revel in excursions to dream- land mapped in musical realms. The best nickel trimmings and felt cush- | fons are used in the construction of these planos, and the tone is filled with sweet- ness and harmony, mellow to the exact meaning of the word, the bursting forth in one grand symposium of musical sounds, among which musiclans ‘delight to revel, Willlam Morrls, the master craftsman, once sald: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or be- lleve to be ornamental.” One would make no mistake by selecting a Schmoller & Mueller piano, for it Is beautifying to the | home and the equal of any piano on the | market in tone and action. Those who contemplate the purchase of a plano should | consider the quality of workmanship as | well as the desirability of case patterns. | In late years there have appeared many | so-called good planos, which although they may have creditable cases, the manufac- turers lack the technlcal knowledge of making and construction, and their. pro- duots, even If apparently subgtantial, can- not be relied upon as possessiug durabllity in structure and tone.

Ensign Macaule Winter ./ Percy D. Barbat Charles A. Gordon <eepByron Ongley . ¥arrison Ford viiieenssDavid Todd Thomas Lawrence American emgineers have long been known to commerce. Through desert wilds and mountain fastnesses they have blazed the way for civilization. The world of sordid fact has long known of thelr ac- complishmerits and has glven its frigid acknowledgment of their deeds. And with his newspaper instinct for ‘the story” Richard Harding Davis seized on this thenie and made an engineer the hero of one of the most fascinating of modern romances. And Augustus Thomas, with the unerring Instinct of the true dramatist, has seized on the meat of the Davis story and made out of it a play fully as fas- cinating as the novel; if anything, more, because it gives in a tablold form, so to speak, the exciting events the story carries along through several chapters of detail, and this without any vioence to the con- tinuity of the varn or asking that any gaps be filled by a few yards of explana- tion from the principals In the play. It is touch and go In the book; it is touch and £0 In the play. Certainly, the play “‘went” last night at the Boyd It is & play of contrasts, powerful, and therefore dramatic. Clay, the American mining engineer, who has come up from the bottom, is contrasted with Stewart, the English officer, who has come down from the top, untll the two meet on the commop ground of honest manhood. Again is Clay contrasted with King, the man who does things with the man who doesn t. Alice Langham, the cgld, passlonless, ex- perienced girl of the World, is contrasted with her impulsive, warm-hearted, earnest sister, Hope, and the qualities of each make the other shine brighter, each in her own way. 80, too, are the pictures in the play set one over against the other, even to the love-making. King and Alice discuss the matter of their engagement with much the same indifference that one might assume In regard to an invitation 10 tea at a house of a tiresome acquaint- ance. King admits that he has considered the probable loss of her father's fortune and languldly says he can‘t convince him- self that it would make any difference; he asks her to join him.in a trip to the Mediterranean. She assents as languidly. Clay proposes to Hope. under_fire, seals her acceptance with a rousing smack on the lips and In & moment is under arrest and sentenced to be shot by, a general who has disregarded his own flag of truce. And when it is all over, instead of a trip to the Mediterranean, Clay offers his wite a continued sojourn in the land of sudden revolutions. ' Mr. Edeson quite realizes tlie Davis idea of an American soldier of fortune, modest, resourceful, undaunted and honest. It Is & very careful study of a type, and is presented with an apparent earnestness that makes it more than delightful. But Mr. Edeson's work Is not the only pleasing thing In the plece. Mr. Harlam's gives an equally good characteriza- tion of the high minded Engiishman, who | could and did dle for his trust. Mr. Har- wood's McWilllams s quite what one can imagine what the original idea of the author was, and made a tremendous hit with the audience last night It is a lttle d¥Mcult for one who has not read the book to understand exactly the character of Alice Langham, and yet Miss Tennant did it so well as to all but make clear her aversion to Clay and the reason she accepted King. She almost loved Clay herself until the incident of the breakdown of the engines on the Vesta. When Clay emerged from the engine room, dirty and greasy and sweaty, after fixing the dlsabled machinery, her esthetic nature revolted, and she made up her mind that she could not wed with that man. This had something to do with her desire to prevent Hope from getting him, also, Miss Tennant makes the part cold, almost aus- tere, and certainly uninteresting. Against her frigidity of manner is set the fmpulstve, quick-witted, bright, and warmly sympa- thetlc nature of Hope, admirably pre- sented by Miss Burg, o that in the end one is giad that Clay dfdn't get the girl whose picture he had adored for so many years before he met the original, but was comforted by her sister. As a whole the company is excellent, well balanced and well equipped for giving a finished and well-nigh perfect performance of a most enjoyable play. The audiénce which witnessed the performance was large, and was most demonstrative after | it had once come under the =peil of the excellent acting. Mr. Kdeson and his as- soclates were recalled at the end of each and at tha close of the third an un- usual outburst was rewarded by a neat little speech from the star, in which he pald Omaha people a very pretty compli- ment for the compliment they were paying him vl y naturally without happiness when grown. griping, THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy- ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their When a laxative is needed the cemedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internw. organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality.

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON DIES Sir John Blu Mapie's Vario; Suecesaful Career is at an E LONDON, Nov. %.—8ir John Blundell Maple, M. P, s dead. He was born in 1845. Sir John for a long time had been suffering from Bright's disease and heart trouble, The deceased baronet was a typical figure in this busy age. He was with equal s cess a4 business man, a race horse owner, & country squire and member of Parlia- ment. At the aye of 16 he commenced bus- fness’in his father's small furniture shop, which gradually developed Intu Its present huge proportions. His title was a reward for political services to the United King- dom. Hardly an election was held in the metropolis for many years without Sir John personally driving voters to the polls in a four-horse coach. His exposure of the scandals in the south after the war was one of the earliest movements toward the reform of the wars, Few men played a more prominent work In the racing world than Sir John Maple in the last two de- cades. He headed the list of winning ewn- ers in 1902, and had the largest racing stud in the United Kingdom, but the Aristo- cratic Jockey club persistently denied him admittance, presumably on account of his connection with business, until last Sep- tember, when it was already known that his illness must be fatal. Sir John gave large sums In benefactions, notably $600,000 to the University College hospital. His only child is the -wife of Baron Hardstein, first secretary of the German embassy in London.
