Manager Burgess Secures the FamOus
Singer for a Date in
November.

Manager Burgess Of Boyd's theater has
just secured for Omaha a November date
in the forthcoming American tour which
Nine. Adelina Patti will take next winter
under the direction of Maurice Grau. The
terms under which Patti is to enter upon
this tour are perhaps the most liberal ever
granted a performer. She is guaranteed
5000 for each performance and need not
sing more than three times a week, or twice
a week if she prefers. There will be sixty
performances, or a total profit to her Of
$500 900 from the tour. Nor has she any
expenses. Her steamship fare and state
room expense is paid to America; here she
is given a private car, servants and a ply
stefan in constant attendance. Patti will
sing in the roles for which she was form
erly SO famous. The exact day of the Omaha
appearance is not set, but 1t probably will
be late in November. The company will be
small and will give selections from the dir-
ferent operas.

RAILROADS TRY TO DECEIVE
So Charges the Real Estate
in Its Latest Tax
bulletin.

The Omaha Real Estate exchange has
issued bulletin No. 2" on the subject of
railroad taxation. which is intended as an
answer to a recently printed interview with
Attorney Baldwin of the Union Pacific. The
idea Of the bulletin is to prove that the
assessment Of railroad property by a city
for local purposes does not reduce the
amount of county and state taxes distrib-
uted between the counties through which
the road runs. The bulletin says:
When the railroads argue that If railroad
property within. metropolitan cities is as
sessed and taxed for city purposes at it's
full value, like other property within the
city, IL would deprive counties through
which the road runs of a part of the rail-
road tax, they are now getting, they know
they are not telling the truth. They know
they are trying 10 deceive. They know
hey are not honest. For the truth Is,
and the railroads well know Il. that the
city tax on railroads does not AFFECT county
taxes on them at all. If. for example, the
Burlington road were assessed I'm Lincoln
for Lincoln city taxes at $1.OOO.OOO, or at 81,
this would not make the taxes it would
pay 10 the state or TO any ounty through
which II passes one penny the more or one
penny the less. The railroads know this
DO they believe anyone is so dull as to be
deceived by such false arguments?

EIeHT-HoUR DAY FOR POLICE
Chief DOnahue Is Preparing to Adopt
Three-Shift Plan at
Last.

Chief Donahue is formulating a new
schedule for the policemen which will
greatly facilitate the work OF the Depart
ment and also result in giving the men
much easier hours. The chief intends
adopting the three-shlft plan.
Under this arrangement the first shift of
patrolmen will report at roll call at 7:45 in
the morning and will be at their posts by
8 O'Clock. They will work until 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon. The largest of the three
shifts will be the second, which will report
for duty at 4 o'clockS the third shift work.
ing from II o'clock at night until the fol-
lowing morning at s O'Clock. The new
schedule will not affect the captains, SER
geants, police station detail. patrol wagon
men or the detectives.
THE new plan will do much toward cut
ting down the number of hours the men are
now working" said the chief, "as they are
now compelled to be on their feet contin-
ually for twelve hours at a stretch. These
hours are too long and, in my opinion, are
the cause of considerable Of the sickness
which at present prevails on the force. We
will not adopt the new schedule until the
men appointed by the police board Monday
night are given their uniforms. Though we
should have more men on the department
before adopting this arrangement, we can
do very well with the present complement

NELLIE PRINCE PAYS CASH
settles For Furs said TO Have Been
stolen from Omaha store-Prose-
cutiOn f. Abandoned.

Mrs. Nellie Prince. who was arrested and
was being held in Chicago on a charge OF
having stolen $500 worth of goods from the
store Of Thomas Fitzpatrick & Co. in this
city. has paid for the stolen goods and the
case against her has been dropped!
Last Sunday a representative Of Mrs.
Prince came from Chicago to Omaha and
on Monday sought an interview with Chief
Of Police Donahue with a view to settling
the case out Of court.
"The Chicago caller" said the chief,
told me he did not come as the repre-
sentative OF Mrs. Princes counsel, Kern G.
Fuller, but as the representative Of Mrs.
Prince herself. He wanted to know II the
compliments would drop the prosecution
provided restitution was made for their
loss. I told him that the city had a very
strong case against Mrs. Prince, while as
q matter OF fact our evidence is so slim
that / doubt tbs the Chicago Judge would
lave ruled to return the prisoner to Omaha.
After making It as strong as l could with
the Chicago man, I referred aim to the
county attorneys office.
The county attorney and Mr.. Cowell Of
the Fitzpatrick company had a conference
at which the latter expressed himself as
being willing to accept a cash settlement,
after the public prosecutor had given It as
his opinion that the evidence against Mrs.
Prince was insufficient to assure a convic-
tion. Therefore the proposition to drop the
prosecution upon the payment Of $500, the
value OF the stolen goods, to the Fitzpatrick
company was made to the representative
Of the accused woman. He eagerly ac-
cepted, paid the amount and returned to
Chicago with an agreement to dismiss the
case and a receipt for the cash. 1t would
have cost the county about $500 to prose-
cute the case.
This is the first time that Mrs. Prince
has ever sought TO procure her freedom
from any charge that has ever been made
against her by paying for the property
which she was said to have taken"
Chief of Detectives Dunn who went to
Chicago after Mrs. Prince. has been notified
II No settlement and will return to Omaha
at onca.

HOLDS BABY UPSIDE DOWN
Experience ns Family Man" Gives
Lawyers Dignity n severe
JOItinR.

Attorney John J. Boucher. dainty, digni-
fed and adifident. has had an experience as
a family man" that makes him shy to one
side every time he sees a baby.
Business called him Monday to the con
vent at Fifteenth and CASTELAR, streets. To
return to his Office he went a block west
to catch the car from South Omaha. Miss
ing one. he had to wait for another and in
the interim there arrived at the corner a
woman who had a babe in her arms, a milk
bottle in her hand and ty6o youngsters tug
ging at her skirts. Boucher smiled at the
baby and IL cooed. The mother immedi-
ately resolved that the attorney was an
honest man who could be trusted and they
grew acquainted to the extent that each
said it was a nice day.
Presently the car came at great speed
and the motorman was forced to apply the
brakes with vigor. Everybody who has
ever ridden a South Omaha car knows what
sort Of noise was thus created. The chill
dren on foot grew alarmed and started. 20
run away, each in a different direction.
Their mother hesitated a moment and then
showed into the astonished barrister's arms
the baby and the milk bottle, while she
gave chase to one of the others.
The perspiration started on Mr.. Boucher's
brow. He grew confused and held both the
baby and the bottle upside down. The stop
per came out of the baby and It spilled
screams that could be heard two blocks.
The stopper came out of the bottle, also,
and it spilled milk that will remain on MIR.
Boucher's overcoat and trousers for two
years. When the mother had corraled one
OF the youngsters she brought It back and
left It with Mr.. Boucher while she chased
me other. This made matters worse be-
cause the screams and the long delay OF the
car had brought all the passengers to the
windows to look on and make remarks about
a man who would let his wife do the run
ming down"
Eventually when all had been corraled
and loaded aboard, the perspiring Mr..
Boucher thought the incident closed and
was glad Of it. He placed the children with
their mother, an ample German woman, on
one side CT the car and seated himself on
the other. hoping thus to Intimate to the
other passengers that he had been acting
only as a receiver and not as a partner.
But the conductor spoiled the whole effect
and drove Boucher to the back platform by
ringing up four fares out Of the quarter
Boucher gave him and passing the woman
and children by. as though their fares had
been paid, Now Mr.. Boucher walks or
travels only in the company of men.

Is RivaIed by Human Hair where
il Eradicated.

Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness, and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy. and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality OF the hair at it's root. Newbro's
Herpicide is the only preparation that is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
druff no falling hair, but a luxuriant
growth of glossy, soft hair is certain.
Securing the scalp won't cure dandruff.
Kill the dandruff germ. Thousands Of
women owe their beautiful suits of hair
to Newbro's Herpiclde.
