The suits to restrain the city from col

Police work Diligently.

Say in your paper" said he that the
police are working on the case just as hard
as they know how, but that you don't know
just what they are doing. This will keep
the kidnapers guessing, and will be just
as well for the public. A little suspense
will do the public good. When get some
thing that is really worth printing I'll tell
you about 1t, and then you'll have sur
prise for them. This business of antiCipat-
ing every move the police have In view
is like telling your wife what you are going
to give her for Christmas present"
Until there is a change for the better In
the condition of the bay pony, the police
will give most of their attention to a
search for the house in South Omaha which
the kidnapers used as their rendezvous.
They have several rather meager clues as
to the locality of this meeting place, but in
order to locate 1t positively 1t will be neces-
sary to make almost a house to house can
yass in certain sections of the city. Chief
Donahue says he hopes for results, how
ever, in this branch of the case within three
or four DAYS.

DESERTED BRIDE AT ALTAR
Story 'of the Merry Wedding Bells that
Chimed in Vain.
NOW THERE is A $4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
Miss Mary kratLy Goes Into Court
for satisfaction Against Charles
wancck and Tells Her
Troubles In Detail.

This is a story of hope deferred and we'd
ding bells that rang in vain It tells of a
young man who assisted ia the elaborate
preparation for his marriage with a pretty
girl in the south part Of town and then de-
serted the bride to-be at the very church
doors. While the bells we're pealing and
the church where the ceremony was to be
solemnized was filled with friends and ac-
Quaintances expectantly waiting to catch
the first glimpse of the bridal party NOV
ing UP the aisle; while the strains OF the
wedding march sounded from the organ
loft and the choir stood in readiness to be-
gin the melodious song service, the intended
groom was making his way to the office
where he worked Just as II the day had no
moro Significance for him than any other.
The organist played the notes over and
over again to make the time pass less
quickly. Those in the church were in a
furry of excitement and pity for the bride
at the surprising delay. The priest sent
word to the vestibue where the bridal
party was gathered to learn what had hap
pened, and when messengers who had been
dispatched to the groom's. home to ascer-
tain the cause of his absence returned with
the word that he declined to be married,
the announcement was made that unfore-
seen circumstances had arisen to postpone
the ceremony.
Damage suit In Filed.
The details of the story are given In u
petition just filed in the district court for
damages in the sum OF $4,000 for breach Of
promise The rejected bride is Mary
kratky. The man in the case" is Charles
Waneok. Miss Kratky informed the court
that Waneck paid suit to her and asked
her to become his bride. This was about
October 25, 1900. The day OF the wedding
was agreed upon as November 7. The
young couple arranged to be married In the
Bohemian Catholic church, and according
to the custom the rites were announced
prior to the day of the ceremony from the
chancel by the priest. Miss Kratky pleads
that a day or two before the appointed
date Waneck went to the Office Of the
county Judge and procured a license to
wed. The petition is concluded with de-
scriptlon how at the very last moment
Waneck marched off to his work down at
of the South Omaha packing houses
with no regard whatever for his promise
and the wedding preparations. The reason
why Waneck refused to appear at the
church is not given

Natural Ca. We'll. Run Dry.

Ten years ago the daily capacity of the natural gas wells in the Findlay IOI fields was 2OO.CCO.UoO feet. Now il is down to a few million feet. and the pressure is so low that the supply is almost useless. This year will mark the passing of natural gas as q fuel in all of northwestern Ohio. The big pipe lines which carried gas To Toledo. Tiff fin. Saudusky, Norwalk and many smaller places are fast being abandoned and the pipes taken up. The pump sta tious of the Northwestern Natural Gas company are shut down, as are those of the city of Toledo. which cost the mu- nicipality $I,5OO,00O. The gas would have lasted many years longer if in the early years of it's discovery it had moi been wasted. The famous krag well probably the greatest gas producer ever opened up, was allowed to burn uncon- hned for months at a time. millions of feet going To waste daily. All through the natural gas balt. in the early days of the craze. the streets were lit by great torches, the flames from which some times flared up 30 feet into the air Chicago Tribune

4 New English Process for Reproduc- Ing Pictures from Artists'
 Copy.

An English company has been formed to print without the use of ink in any form, by simply bringing the plate into contact with chemically-dampened pa per linen, silk, wool or other fabric. and obtaining d good, clear impression of any desired density. The operation, says the Philadelphia Record, is as quick and more simple than letter press printing and the work resembles in clearness and delicacy q coppcrpiate or litho engraving. Ordinary printers type blocks, forms, stereotNpes and electrotypes may be used as a printing surface and drawings, etc. requiring special blocks or electros, lithographic work or copperplate engraving can be done at a great saving. Original sketches. scrolls or fancy lettering can be made upon the transparency or traced through from drawn or printed sketches, the words being typed in their respective places, and, if printed on opaque paper, photographic replicas of any size can be made, while engrar- ings can be reproduced direct from the artists work. Any class of paper may be used, the sensitizing solution IS much cheaper ,han printing ink, and the speed of the process is greatly in its favor,
