FAT GROVE HEARD FROM.
Says He VIII Return to Omaha and Sc
render Before Long.


Omaha, Neb., Feb. 23.-Pat Crow
has been heard from under circum-
stances which indicate that he is
soon to make public appearance.
Z. A. Cudahy IS in receipt of "a let
ter bearing Groves signature. The
handwriting has been tested by COM
parison and it is the opinion of the
Pinkertons, Chief Donahue and other
authorities that the signature is gem
uine. The letter is dated South
omaha, February IS, but the envelope
indicated that it had been mailed in
Omaha.
Owing to the fact that the letter
is now in the Pinkerton Office. Chi
cago, and that no copy was retained
here, Mr.. Cudahy is unable to repeat
it verbatim. Mr.. Cudahy and Chief
Donahue have made it's contents
known, however.
Grove explains in the letter that
he has heard that the Omaha police
are looking for him and believe him
to be one of the kidnapers of Edward
Cudahy, Jr. lie maintains that he is
innocent and sage that he has no
knowledge of the affair, with the ex-
ception of what he has read in the
newspapers. He says he will drop in
to Omaha some day and prove him
self innocent, and would have done
so before now had he not been afraid
he would suffer the fate of the negro
who was lynched at Leavenworth.
Grove says that Omaha people
must have cooled off considerable by
this time and expresses the opinion
that he will soon be able to come
here with safety. He makes an APP
peal to the chief of police and Mr..
Cudahy for protection and says he
will expect them to stand between
him and violence. In conclusion he
says he is much hurt to think that
Mr.. Cudahy suspects him of being
guilty of the kidnapping, and express
es his appreciation of the kindness
Mr.. Cudahy has shown him in the
past

GETTING RATTLED.
Ten Year old Case Resurrected and
 Made Oyer for a Purpose.

It hardly seems possible that the American would knowingly try to de ceive it's readers, yet it is endeavoring to do that very thing. People whose memories are good know that that story about KiIdun and Platt pub lished Saturday night is not so. The affair referred to occurred just ten years ago. in the fall of 1891, when Charlie Baldwin. who dictated the pol icy of the American, ran against the late D. F. Webster for mayoralty hon. ors. Webster defeated Baldwin There were three tickets in the field democratic, republican and independ- ent. Edward G. kilduff was on the first, Edward B. Platt on the repub- lican. and Edwin F. Platt on the in dependent. Kilduff beat Edward B. Platt by co The two Platts were in existence at the time. one living on Linden street. and the other doing bus mess as a grocer on East Main street. And yet the American had the nerve to publish the following sentence which must be q dream story from the brain of the man who discovered the For ballots, perhaps:
 ''In one of the wards by an error of the printer the name of the republi- can candidate was printed Edward F.. Platt instead of Edward B. Platt. The votes were thrown out by the demo- cratic moderator"
 The above is everything but the truth. There was no error in print iny the ballots, and the moderator did not throw any of them out-on the contrary they were counted and placed opposite the names of the three can didates as follows:
 Edward G. Kilduff. democrat. ... .2015 Edward B. Platt. republican. U. 1855 Edwin r. Platt, independent. ..... .153
 The American must have some ob- ject in distorting and twisting facts in this manner. Various reasons have been given for it's change of front since the October election. but for whatever reason it is now against the democrats it should at least con fine itself to the truth.

Lived in Shoe,'' at Odd Fellows Hall, on
Friday night, April Goth. This will be the
first ''picnic" of the season and the following
in synopsis of the play:
Part Mother Merryheart, Familiarity
known as the Odd Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe, represents living, sunny tempered old
lady, who, instead of selfshly mourning for
her only son Charlie, who was tempted by
evil associates to wander away from home
when boy of twelve, decided that the best
way to forget her own grief was to minister to
the happiness and comfort of others.
With this end in view, she adopts two or
three little least ways" whose mothers are
dead aud whose drunken fathers care nothing
for them. When this becomes known, others
are brought to her by persons who are willing
to supply funds for their needs and so her
family grows very large among her children
being AN Irish and German boy, a Chinese
and a black boy.
To Contribute to their pleasure, she has
ranged for picnic and has taught the younger
children quaint little conceit about water
spirits, wood mikes, birds, etc.
After reaching the picnic grounds and
drinking from the spring, they scatter through
the woods seeking amusements, leaving Moth
ct heFTy uedTL diOHt. one SlbSS Vi HCt Wuii-
dering boy and then goes with the little ones
to gather wild flowers.
In few moments Charlie enters with pipe
in his hand ard bottle showing in his pocket
and lies down in position almost concealed
by the foliage. The water spirits and wood
mixes enter and after singing and dancing
discover Charlie, and with plying looks
offer him water from the spring in cups formed
of leaves, sprinkle his face gently and when
he opens his eyes. quickly disappear. He
rises, sings of his mother and longs for home
and forgiveness. She enters while he is sing
ing the last verse and the penitcnt boy and low
ing mother are once more united.
Part 1.-THE children bang Al Kohall
(Alcohol) and bury Nick O'Teene (Nicotine)
with appropriate exercises, eat lunch in pic
mic fashion, interspersed with character songs
and recitations; indulge in see-sawing, skip
ping ropes, rolling hoops, etc., sustaining
lively interest to the end, when the curtain
falls on a tableau.
Robert r. Carmen, of w. NJ. College, i'm
personates Mother Merryheart. About sixty
boys (some of these will be girls) with fine
voices will be in the solos, choruses and drills.
EVERYBODY who is interested in temperance
and The welfare of the boys, who will make
the future men of the city, should attend the
entertainment. Additions to the boys library,
papers, ETC., are needed.
