There were such strong symptoms of a
riot in East Omaha yesterday that prumi-
nent members of the community thought
II wise to call on Mayor Carson and state
the case with a view of securing prompt
police assistance should It Re needed. The
trouble has grown out of the ice harvesting
that has been in progress all week, and
from the statements made at the city hall
yesterday Fred Moran, foreman of the gang
OF ice cutters working for the Swift Pack
ing company of South Omaha is the re-
sponslble cause. The Swifts began on Mon
day to put up their usual quantity OF ice,
and placed Moran in charge of the work.
People living near the lake have heretofore
been given employment, and expected to be
shown the same favors this season. When
Moran began to hire men on Monday they
were told, they say, that all would be given
employment. Each man who applied was
told to report the next day. All did so,
but none were put to work. They were told
to return on the following day. This, they
affirm. was kept up for several days, and
tr7. were finally told that not a man ly-

among some genuine signatures one that corresponds in every detail with a disputed signature-and such a thing has happened several times-he is ab- solutely certain, first, that the latter really Is bogus; and, second, that he has before him the very model used by the forger All detectives of the inkpot agree that the discovery of the two sig natures which, on being superimposed and held to the light, are identical seem as one, is conclusive proof that there has been tracing.
 Such are the leading principles of the experts profession. How are they ap- piled? In some cases they are not ap- piled at all. The paper itself, the stamp, If there is one, may proclaim a document to be forgery. Then the microscope and other appliances will sometimes show whether a signature is fraudulent. Swindlers commonly write a name In pencil and then ink It over. If the expert has reason to believe that this method has been adopted--and it is not difficult to detect, because, for one thing, the signature looks duller than the other writing-he has only to put drop of acid on one of the letters, and, presto! the ink disappears, reveal ing the glistening plumbago beneath But it Is practically impossible to ob- tain by any mode of tracing sign manual that will successfully bear the closest scrutiny. In following the mod ell, whether that be fac-simile in pen- Gil or carbon, or genuine signature held to the light, the pen hesitates, giv- ing the writing g zigzag appearance, which, although not visible to the naked eye, can be clearly seen with the aid of the microscope. The most useful ally of the expert, however, is the ca mera, which has no equal for showing signs of erasure, correction and pen hesitancy.
 In one way or another, then, a docu- ment may be pronounced forgery without any comparison of writing. Rarely is this so when the work of a
 really accomplished professional pen man comes to hand He generally practices signature till he can initiate | it closely enough to deceive any bank cashier, when he dashes it off at the | foot of a check with greater fluency, perhaps, than could it's owner. In this art Jim the Penman was an adept-the greatest adept in the annals of crime. No tracing or boggling for him, no rub I ping out or touching up; he wrote at

MARY's LETTER.

She Had Acquired the Habit of Am plifying or Was Incorrectly Informed.
 "Pm really afraid that Mary has yielded to the very enticing sin of ex- aggeration," said a dear old grand mother of Piety Hill as she wiped her glasses preparatory to reading the let | ter more carefully. "I know that she | is spirited, pretty, and full of life, but she's always been truthful. I'll say nothing to her about it till have talked with some of the other Endeavorers who went to California.
 "Why, she says here that the redwood trees are so tall that it requires two people to see the tops. It doesn't seem possible. And strawberries as big as pineapples. Whoever heard of the like? i Here's something that I'll just refer to | the professor. He knows all about vegetables and agriculture. She says that it requires stump pullers to get the beets out of the ground, that they roll the pumpkins together with cant hooks and then load them on the wagons with derricks, that cucumbers grow as long as fence rails, that the wheat fields are as big as Lake Michi- gan, that the threshing machines look like steamboats,, and that the horse less ploughs rush along like motor cars. It is certainly wonderful beyond re- lief"
 "But don't you see, grandma" broke in one of her listeners, Mary is just chaffing? She purposely makes stories so big that no one will believe them It's just satire on the boastful claims made for that country out there. You know they sell climate by the cubic yard"
 "No; Mary has either seen these things or heard them upon good authority. We must not misjudge her But there is the most remarkable thing yet She says that large watermelon burst just before they reached there and washed away quite stretch of railroad track. Dear! Dear!
