Fire I'm JeweIry store show window
Causes Excitement for
Few Minutes.

Fire in the show window Of the jewelry
store and pawnshop OF Morris Brodkey,
Fourteenth n Douglas streets, at $50
o'clock last evening, did little damage,
though the excitement was intense for a
few minutes. In the window we're 5000
worth OF diamonds. watches, clocks, rings
and iewelry, all arranged in cloth and paper
decorations. Ben Brawraff. in attempting to
light the gas with a long lighter, ignited
some Of the decorations; instantly the win
dow was a ablaze and $4,000 worth Of fine
jewelry was enveloped. In another instant
the blaze was punctured with the hands
Of Brodkey, Brawraff and other employees,
who rushed precious stones, watches.
clocks, etc, through their digits with more
rapidity than they had ever handled valua~
bles before. The FIRE department soon ar
rived and extinguished the blaze before the
woodwork became ignited, though the plate
glass window was broken. To add to the
excitement, Theodore Jacobs, a salesman
for an eastern jewelary house, made re-
peated efforts to drag his two trunks Of
samples through the door, which Brodkey
refused to unlock save for the entrance OF
the firemen.

OMAHA, March 3.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Referring to an editorial published
in The Bee FEBRUARY |, 1902, commenting
upon the report of the city engineer. you
state. aus, 81 I'D
His exposure Of the false and mislead-
ing statements of Omaha's bonded debt
that have been circulated out of the comp
~troller's Office and inserted in the census
and other statistical compilations is timely
and to the point.
And again in an editorial published in
The Bee February 26. 1902. commenting on
the report of the city comptroller. you
state:
II a correct report of the municipal debt
can couhteract the damage done by the
fictitious figures published and circulated
by the comptroller. such a report ought
to be printed. ~
Both OF these articles would lead the
public to think that the city comptroller Of
Omaha was an incompetent, circulating
false reports of the financial condition Of
the city, and / cannot therefore allow these
editorials to go unchallenged. The report
referred to contains THE following:

We define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and

definition, and It fastens the name glut-
