William II. Rogers. whose discharge papers
showed that he had fought through all the
battles of Santiago and had participated In
the triumphant charge at San Juan hill
came to Omaha the other day and within
three hours had capitulated to a young
woman named Kittie Timms. They went
to a restaurant for luncheon and to get bet

The upshot OF it all was that Rogers be
came so favorably impressed with his new
friend that he committed $3.50 to her keep
ing. They didn't meet again for three days,
and meantime Rogers complained to the
police. but soon they came across
each other on the street. The woman was
grieved to think Rogers had doubted her

ticc that the inst car OF slate which Will

ders and Pacific schools Is Oh its way from
the q]uarries at Pen Argyll, Pa, 10 this city.
The total order will consist Of 5000 square
feet at a contract price OF ABOUT $4,000. Al
though MIR. BuCkminstcr's mission was TO
attain other ends he was in all respects a
bona hde contractor and will furnish the
blackboard material according to specihca-
lions.
1t is now announced, however. that the
slate will really be supplied from Q]uarries
controlled by E. d. Beeghly 6 Co, Of To-
lodo, the firm which was originally the low
bidder on the work. At the time the bids
were opened and the contract awarded to
Buckminster MIR. Beoghly expressed consid-
cradle indignation that a higher bidder than
he should have been favored. In an intert
view in The Bee Of December % he expressed
himself as follows:

enough interest in their own welfare TO stop
such practices we will be glad to bear our
share OF expense In any test as to whether
the board has the right to take such an ar
bitrary action when it has adopted complete

The attitude of Beeghly & Co. has altered
considerably. however, during the last two
weeks, as evidenced by a letter in the hands
OF Mr.. Buckminster. The slate firm eX-
presses its establishment at the course of
events and makes humorous remarks re-
garding the identity of its supposed business
rival. Mr.. Buckminster says that the COM
mission usual TO an agent after having COM
pleted a sale of such proportions will be
used in securing a superior grade Of slate. 9.
Buckminster also lays emphasis on the
point that Detective Chiniquy also acted in
good faith in his effort to secure the vene-
tian blind contract. II he had been awarded
the job on his bid of 2S GEMS a square foot
ii would have been carried out. Chiniquy
was the authorized agent Of the American
School Furnishing company. Chicago, which
handles the Victoria blind. Chiniquy, how
ever. had no expectation OF being awarded
the contract. His purpose was to offer
such meager brides and such high prices
that the suspected members would take
refuge in the larger generosity of Buck
