TO ARREST MEISNER AGAIN
Chief of Police Orders that Dreamer b
Taken Back to Jail.
NEW COMPLAINT COMES FROM SCHUYLER
Photographer Says Young Man d.
tanned Money from Him by Repre-
sentInE that He Was Heir
to Large Estate.

Upon information received by the police
department from various cities, Chief DON
ahue has ordered the rearrest of Hugh F.
Meisner, the dreamer who was recently
taken into custody on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, but who was
released Wednesday on account OF lack OF
prosecution on that charge.
The chief decided to act when a letter
was received from J. F.. Holonbeck. a pho
tographer Of Schuyler, Neb., enclosing
checks which Holonbeck has issued to
Meisner during the months Of February
and March, 1902. The total amount given
to Meisner by the Schuyler resident was
1858, the largest check being for 5000. the
smallest for $40. These, the photographer
states in his letter, were advanced to the
young man upon his representation that he
was soon to become the possessor of a large
estate
Holonbeek states that Meisner was known
to him and that the bank authorities in
Schuyler as Harry McDonough." The
two men were to engage in an advertising
scheme. Part OF the money advanced was
sent by draft TO "McDonough" in Toledo.
o. Holonbeek will come to Omaha to prose-
cute Meisner.
Inquiries have also been received by the
chief from the Furlong and Thiel detec-
tive agencies of st. Louis, Mo-, asking for
Meisner's description. as it is believed that
he has operated his scheme in other cities.
Chief Donohue is inclined to believe that
he is a clever man in his way and will
send the photos and Bertillon measure
ments taken here this week to the differ
ent police departments in the hope Of
ascertaining more of the young mans
record. as his ESTATE stories" have been
unearthed as far back as 1902.

"FIorisna" by n Quartet.


The presentation OF Arthur Writings

sized audience TO st. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church last night. The
work IL a musical setting. for soprano,
contralto, tenor and bass s~ololsts, OF the
poems by oliver HEREFORD, Overheard in a
Garden"
Mr.. Writings writing suggests that he
has studied harmony and has done many
exercises, but II is not likely that Flo
ria1a" will place its author in the list Of
the immortals. The quartet presenting the
work consisted OF Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly,
Mrs. Allen p. Ely, Mr.. Kelly and Mr..
Charles s.. Haverstock. The ensemble was.
generally speaking, very effective, and the
individual solo work was warmly %applauded.
Miss Jessie Towne played the accom-
paniments with eloquence and discrimina-
tion. Several pretty tableaux we're intro
duced, In which little children did some
very clever posing. AS a preface to the
work a quartet, The Water Lily" by
Gade, was sung with good tone-balance
and much style.
The musical part of the program was in
the hands Of Mrs. Ely.

A needle in a haystack is not half as hard
TO md as IL is to secure the services OF a

gentlemen Of the craft are decidedly the

themselves that they have declined even
to think Of labor except at a price that
makes the master plumbers aorta threaten
to undergo the same calamity that befell
the water pipes.
Since Tuesday night there have been
more bursted water pipes than there are
happy homes in Omaha and there are not
more than eighty-hve journeymen plumb
ers to go around. The majority have been
good and submitted to work at so cents
an hour, the regular prices charged the
bosses, who exact rs cents an hour from
their customers. The good plumbers have
been called blessed and made to work night

But there are seven or eight other
plumbers-and seven or eight plumbers are
a good many in this weather-who are
bad, and upon them have been bestowed
curses and epithets and ~cajolery and
pleadings, all of which have not yet ac-
complished any good for the water pipes.
So 1t was that half a dozen master plumb
ers took down their tool kits yesterday,
put on overalls and studied anew in prac-
tice the art Of mending and thawing out
water pipes.
Meanwhile the seven or eight bad blumb-
ers reposed in great bodily comfort at
Labor Temple. and. when their serenity

the unvarying reply: "Seventy-ive cents

DEFEATS BOTH OLD BOATS:
Reliance Has Hard Struggle With
the Constitution.

New York, May 27.-In a gamely
contested race the Reliance again
Tuesday led the way across the finish
line, winning her second victory over
the Columbia and her first over the
constitution. Two minutes and fifty
one seconds later the Constitution
finished, and the crew of the new boat
gave her such cheer as she deserved.
Inc Constitution had sailed a plucky
race and had right to share in the
honors. From the start to the finish
she had fought out every mile over the
thlrty-mile course and on two Of it's
legs had actually outsailed the new
boat, a performance which restores
her prestige -imperilled in her dis
appointing showing in the drifting
match last Saturday, and makes her a
FACTOR to be reckoned with in the Sc
lection of a cup defender.
The Columbia was, for the day, out
classed. From the very start she was
never for a moment in the race. While
the Reliance and Constitution were
having 1t out between themselves all
the way around the course the former
cup defender was dragging along miles
astern OF them and when the Reliance
sailed across the finish line the Co.
lumbia was more than two miles al
most dead to leeward The Reliance
beat her by fifteen minutes and fifty
one seconds, actual sailing time
The wind held true at 9 to IL knots
during the race and favored none of
the racers. The conditions were ideal
Tor a fair test of the three boats and
the race was devoid Of the drifting
fetures which marred the two earlier
races.
The course was twice around a IS
mile triangle, and twelve-knot breeze
was swapping the bunting of the
yachts at the starting line when the
three sleek racers gathered there and
jockeyed for position.
