" PAINTING BERTHA" AGAIN
This Time She IL Arrested on Charge
of Stealing Diamond
Brooch

Bertha Liebbeke, known to the police as
Painting Bertha was arrested in this
city yesterday by Sergeant Rentfrow
and Detective Murphy of Council Bluffs
upon the charge of having robbed an
Illinois woman OF a valuable diamond
brooch.
Bertha was recently arrested In this city
and taken to Council Bluffs, where she was
given into the custody of the officers there
and was to have been sent to the Iowa
asylum. The following day, January 2s,
she returned to Omaha and boarded a train
for Chicago. While enroute to that city
she made the acquaintance of an old
woman from Galesburg, ILL.,, who was re-
turning home after a visit here. To her
Bertha gave her name as Jennie ]. Wilson
and said she resided at 42S South Seven
teenth street. In this city, being the
daughter of Mrs. ]. r. Wilson. When the
aged Illinois traveller arrived in Chicago
she discovered her valuable diamond
brooch missing. She reported the theft 20
Sheriff Hurburgh OF Galesburg, who has
since been in communication with Chief
Donahue. He was sent a photograph of
the Liebbeke woman by the Omaha chief,
which was shown to the Galesburg woman,
who positively identified the picture as
that OF the person whose acquaintance she
had made on the train. Bertha returned to
Omaha yesterday morning.

ROCK ISLAND AGENTS MEET
They Are being Instructed as to New
Relations with Southern
Pacific.

A Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific DOW
WOW was in progress in Council Bluffs yes
terday. At the Grand hotel was a meeting
Of all the agents Of the Iowa division Of that
road with the chief men of the operating,
traffic and auditing departments. A half
dozen of the high officials were out here to
instruct the agents in various topics relat-
ing to their respective departments.
It is said that the most important feature
Of the meeting was a discussion Of the new
phases of the work OF the representatives
Of the road that have Just arisen as a re-
suit Of the recent alliance of the Rock
Island with the Southern Pacific railway.
Head men in the different departments Of
the railroad instructed the agents thor
oughly in the complications and ramifca-
tions that result from this relationship.
The officials present at the meeting
we're: H. J. Slifer Of Chicago, general
superintendent; G. L.. Nichol of Fairbury,
Neb., division superintendent; w. ]. Law
renee OF Des Moines, division superintend-
emit; H. Cover of Chicago. assistant freight
traffic manager; W. H. Burns Of Chicago,

DOG PLAYS THE STAR PART
Does Musical Turn I'm Court and Then
starts Commotion In
Corridor.

In Judge Fawcett's court room yesterday
morning q plain black dog with no an
cestry to particularly boast Of and no other
distinguishing appurtenance got more no
toriety and attention than most dogs get
in a whole lifetime. The spaniel belongs
to John A. Rylen and is the one charged
with having bit little Dorothy wyville,
whose father is suing Rylen for 100000 be-
cause Of the incident. alleging that the
little girls nervous system was affected
by the attack.
When the dog was brought in. to be put
in evidence, the court officers all looked
dubious. They had seen dogs before and
they knew there was no telling what sort
OF commotion might be precipitated. Bailiff
Morgan slipped out to the %janitors' room
and got a club.
Just when things got going we'll the dog
remembered his musical education and
began to ~vocalize softly, under the wit
nesses' bench. The court frowned and the
bailif edged over to within reaching dis
lance. The dog grew melancholy and took
the high note from the miserere. Some
body reached under the bench and the tune
switched to Brush BY, White Man" Pro-
ceedings temporarily came to a stop, and
the court said: Take the dog into the
corridor"
Then real trouble began. An old colored
man asked somebody what the dog was do
ing there. and the somebody answered that
It had bitten a small girl. The delegate
from Dahomey inferred that the canine had
the rabies, and he started for the other
end of the hall. AS he went he let every
one know what was doing, and everyone got
busy. Never since the smallpox scare has
there been such a hurried clearing out in
the temple Of Justice.
The judge was expected to issue a re-
straining order forbidding the dog to in
terrupt, interfere with or in any way mo-
lest the district court in the discharge of
its natural duties, or to in any manner an
noy or intimidate any officer thereof or any
person legally entitled to be In or about the
courthouse Of said county, or to exact from
any such person any portion or fragment
Of such persons anatomy as such person
may be reluctant to part with or may wish
to reserve for his or her own dog"

TALK OF rELEPHONE SERVICE
Principal Topic at Meeting Of Tx
eeutive Committee Of the
Commercial Club.

Telephone service was the principal fea-
tue Of the discussion at the meeting Of the
executive committee OF the Commercial
club, although the special committee to
which the matter had been referred was
not In a position TO make any definite re-
port.
NJ. Wulpi, chairman Of the committee,
said that during the week the members
had conferred with persons familiar with
the local situation and had entered into
correspondence with two telephone experts,
who are to be in the city the latter part
Of the week for the puTpos of making an
Investigation Of the local situation; that
pending the arrival OF the experts and their
report the committee does not desire pub
licity to be thrown around It's actions,
as It may be thus hampered in its work.
He further said that Dne result OF the work
Of the committee had been to bring from
the telephone company a tentative propo-
sition looking to a reduction OF the exist
ing rates, but such reduction is not to stop
the work Of the committee, as It desires
to arrive at an exact knowledge Of the
true state OF affairs.
There will be a meeting of the jobbers
Of the city at the club rooms Wednesday
to take action in regard to the proposed
advance OF charges on excess baggage, and
at the same meeting there will be pre-
scented for consideration a set Of resolutions
offered TO the committee by the Western
Hardware Dealers association, in which
that organization protests against increas-
ing the powers OF the interstate commerce
commission.
E. A. Benson. representing the press
committee Of the Nebraska Real Estate
Dealers association, told Of the work of
the organization in advertising the state in
newspapers and magazines Of the east, and
upon his request the committee donated
$50 toward the expenses of the work.

GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
Collector Stephenson Returns from
Capital with Talk of Mercer
and Others.

p. B. Stephenson, collector of internal
revenue. returned yesterday from a visit
to Washington and a short trip to New
York, where he went to see D. E. Thomp-
son started on his Journey to Brazil.
81 failed to see Mr.. Thompson off," he
said, because the boat on which he was
to sail did not leave until Monday at noon.
1t was due to leave Saturday morning, but
was delayed because coal for the voyage
could not be secured in time. At the time
Ave other large liners we're waiting in New
York for coal.
There is much talk Of the appointment
OF Congressman Mercer to a position un-
der the federal government, but 1t is hard
to tell what It will amount to. Mr.. Mer-
GER has many friends in Washington who
would like to see him get something. but
he is only one Of many who are retiring
from congress from time to time, all after
something as good, II not better. When
is hard for him to recover. There are SEN
ators and representatives. men strong and
weak, all struggling for appointment at
the expiration of their terms of office, and,
while some Of them are entitled to posi-
lions, that fact alone does not prompt them
to enter the lists. No doubt, President
Roosevelt ia considering the qualifications
Of several of these men for positions for
which they have applied, and he is espe-
cially looking for good material for the
canal commission.
at looks to me as though the bill to Gre
ate a second federal judicial district in Me-
braska may pass at this session, as there
is little or nc opposition to the measure
II is understood In Washington that the ap-
plication Of Mr.. Munger OF Lincoln for the
position OF United States district attorney
is simply made for the purpose of showing
that he will accept the position in case Mr.,
Lindsay cannot get 1t. He has already in
dorsed Mr.. Lindsay for the place. Mr.,
Munger was in Washington with me, but

cation was not considered at that time"

were apples OF too tender age and crackers

Brewers Win Law suit.

A Jury in Judge S~labaugh's court has
found for the defendant in the suit of
Walter Noise & Co. against William Krug
for $1,100, alleged to be due on the &C
McAvoy. William Krug took out the
license for the saloon at Twenty-fourth
and Nicholas streets and furnished the
worth of liquors from the Noise company,
and McAvoy, who was a later tenant of
the building, bought $500 worth. Neither,
1t was alleged, had paid their accounts
and the Noise company sought TO collect
from Krug, Affirming that the occupants
of the saloon were his agents. Krug
showed that while he had taken out the
city license for the place, Goodfellow and
McAVoy had each taken out a government
license in their own names.
