st. Joseph, Mo, for larceny and is serving
a ninety days sentence. He is wanted here

Cuiahy's men we're in line at the paymas-

Broderick and asked to see his check. Upon
the representation that an error had been
made Broderick gave Gennsler the check
and the latter disappeared. The check was
eashed later at a saloon and Gennsler Sc

captured by the police. but in some way

Chief Carroll traced him to Chicago.
where he stayed four days at a cigar store
at Forty-second and Lake streets. Before

Menvy rnspnycrs settIIne Accounts.

More Of the heavy taxpayers are settling
their accounts at the county tressurer's
office than ever before at this time in the
year. As n rule the property owners who
pay large amounts in taxes are disposed TO
wait until the last day before the taxes be-
come delinquent in order to have the use IF
their money as long as possible. This ten
dency was particularly apparent during the
years just past when money was at a
premium and the fact that men who own
large properties are now paying up more

The Omaha Gas company has rented the

Twenty-fourth street and will take posses
sion on May /. In the front there will be
office rooms, while the rear portion of the
structure will be used for storing material.
This move on the part of the Omaha Gas
company looks as If gas would be brought
to South Omaha in a short time. 1t was
stated unofiicially yesterday that as soon as
the frost is out of the ground 300 men will
be put 10 work digging trenches for the
mains leading from Omaha to this city. The

instance, and at the leading hotels and

tried to purchase home newspapers. The

NUMEROUS FIRE ESCAPES
Patterson Block Fire Causes a Boom in Life
Saw 4 Exits,
ORDINANCES TO Be STRICTLY ENFORCED
Immediate Action to Re Taken by
Cbicf RedcII, who Has Received
Reports as to Buildings Need
ing safety Appliances.

"More fire escapes have been ordered or
are being ordered for the equipment OF the
downtown business blocks since the fire in
the Patterson block than during any pre-
ceding year in the previous history OF
Omaha" said Building Inspector Butler.
There Is not one building in the city
which is properly equipped with fire escapes,
even to the point required by the city
ordinances and state law, and there are a
great many that are not provided with any
csca0es. 1t is time that fire escapes should
he ordered" said Chief Redell of tbs fire
department.
Tho first OF these two statements is the
result of the orders issued by Mayor Moores
Immediately after the Patterson block fire.
The mayor summoned Building Inspector
Butler and informed him that 1t had been
brought to his knowledge that the ordi-
nances and laws requiring fire escapes on
buildings are practically dead letters in this
city and instructed him to at once order
all property owners to equip their buildings
with fire escapes as required by law.
Building Inspector Butler has been serving
notices upon the property owners, and the
consequence is q boom in the fire escape
market.
The almost criminal lack of fire escapes
upon Omaha's buildings, as set forth in
Chief Redell's statement, is disclosed in a
set of reports that have just been received
by the fire chief. They were made in re-
sponse to orders issued to every engine com
pany in the city. These companies were
instructed to examine every building of size
in the territory they cover and report on
the number of stairways, fire escapes and
other devices for escape from fire with which
each building is equipped. These reports
show that not one building in the city is
sufficiently equipped with fire escapes to
protect the lives of the people who live,
sleep or work in them.

Oliver Provost Hanged.

Port Arthur, Ont, March l7,-Oliver
Provost was hanged this morning. The
drop fell at o'clock.
Oliver Provost was executed for the
murder of two French swine herders
named Carrie and Delvin, on Feb. 10,
1897. The evidence was largely cir
cumstantial. The principal witness
against Provost was Rosannah Gauthier,
married woman, who at the time Of
the tragedy had lived with Provost. In
his defense Provost swore tho woman
poisoned the two men. Both swore that
robbery was the motive, During the
trial the fact was brought prominently
to the attention of the court that Pre-
vost had been taken from an insane ward
OF Kingston penitentiary, where he was
serving term for another offense, and
put upon his trial for murder. For this
reason and because the plea of insanity
was persistently urged the minister of
justice appointed a commission to visit
Provost and examine him. The commits
sion reported that he was in possession
of his faculties and was morally respon-
sible for his crime.-Duluth Herald.

REIGNS WITHOUT WOMAN.
A Barren Land Where the Masculine
Will Rules Supreme Over
Everything.

There is at least one tiny section of
the globe where women are conspicu-
ously absent from society and where
man reigns supreme, undisturbed by
the vagaries and caprices of even sin
gle woman's will.
There is only one territory Of any size
and never has been but one-occupied
by any considerable population from
which woman is absolutely excluded
Yet such place exists to-day and has
existed for centuries. AS far back as
history reaches to all females it has
been forbidden ground. This country
Without women is situated on a bold
plateau between the old peninsula of
Acte, in the Gredian archipelago, and
the mainland Here in the midst of
cultivated fields and extensive wood
lands dwells monastic CONFEDERATE ton
of Greek Christians, with % converts
and numbering more than 1000 souls
Not one of the monastaries dates from
a later time than the twelfth century.
A few soldiers guard the borders of tits
land. and no woman is allowed to cross
the frontier. Nor is this all; the rule
is extended to every female creature,
and from time imnemorial no COW,
mare, hen, duck or goose has been per-
mitted to enter this territory.

HeIping,,a Horse to ge.

The usual knot of people that had
gathered on the sidewalk to look on, as
people always do when a horse falls
down, saw in this case something that
was new to at least some of them, says
the New York Sun. The horse, the off
one of a pair hooked to a truck, had
gone down on snow-covered and slip
perry asphalt pavement. The driver
cleared away all the harness, loosed all
the fastenings, SO that the horse
would have perfect freedom of move
naent, and then did the one thing that
was new. He got from the truck big
piece of burlap bagging and went back
to the horses head and prepared to
place it under the horses feet. He
spread it under the horses off fore foot
first, because that was the one he came
to first coming from the truck, arrang-
ing it on the ground close to the foot
and then lifting the foot and leg and
pushing the burlap under it. Then he
went around the horses head to re-
peat the operation with the nigh foot,
and when he got all ready and had got
hold Of the horses foot to lift it the
horse lifted his foot himself, while the
driver simply carried it forward to it's
proper place on the burlap. Then, with
his. good, secure hold for his feet, the
horse got up on the slippery pavement
with no difficulty whatever, and the
driver hooked him up again and drove
on.

Kleptomania is a much more preva-

Thieving, it is called with the lower

the same thing, and it is not always the
servants who cause stickpins and other
attractive trifes to my seriously disap-
pear from nilady's dressing table or
bric-a-brac from the dressing-room.
Every woman who entertains much
knows the inexplicable way IN which
certain articles are lost, and, although
her guests are, of course, beyond sus-
picion, she feels sure that it is not the
servants who are always in fault. 8 =gs:.

Another woman who has recently
