a Solution,

"A man sold fifty sofas for $3.50.
He sold twenty-five of them at a gain
of 90 per cent. and twenty-five at a
loss of 90 per cent. Did he gain or
lose?"
Editor News: AS a solution of the
above problem I offer the following:
$2,250 divided by two equals SLIPS,
selling price for each twenty-five sofas.
100 per cent. plus 90 per cent equals

The stranger, James Houghton, was
on his way from Butte, Mont, to his
home at Monticello, Ind, where his
7'year-old child lay dying or dead.
Tired from a long journey he fell
asleep on the train and was awakened
by the brakeman's cry Of what he
thought to be st. Paul, but which he
found, upon alighting, to be st. Cloud.
The train had pulled away before he
discovered his mistake, and, though he
made valiant effort to catch the rear
platform, he failed.
Stepping to the ticket office, he re-
quested ticket to Chicago, where he
was to meet his brother, but found,
when it came to paying for the pre-
cious strip, that he lacked 81 Of the

and the loss of time it had already
cost him.
The cashier of the bank was sent for
and money was advanced to Mr..
Houghton, who left on the early morn

loss of twelve hours here might have
prevented him from seeing his child
before 1t died.

TRAIN TRAFFIC IS HEAVY
NORTHWESTERN FREIGHT BusI.
NESS HERE is IMMENSE.
THIS IS THE BEST SEPTEMBER

There Is a Constant Putting and chok-

Stock traffic has been tremendous

a railroad man today, Is the fact that

the markets of the two places, and

the Nebraska shipper will go into the
Omaha market" he said.
Short Trains Help.
"Another thing that counts material

tween the length of the trains on the
other roads and those on the North
western, leading into South Omaht
markets. The Burlington, for in
stance, runs trains with fifty cars each
so that the caboose is filled to over

short trains can move faster than lonl
ones. One haul of sheep from Caspe

But it is not all stock that is making
heavy traffic. There is a great deal o

STOLE SADIE'S GUN AND PURSE
Both Beneath Her Pillow and Both
Loaded-Hiqh Handed Theft.

Sadie Du Bois, who Is rapidly re-
gaining her avoirdupois after her re-
cent illness, together with her color
for Sadie Du Bois is one of the queens
of the Norfolk colored settlements
in trouble today over mysterious rob-
berry which occurred in her home yes
terday morning-in fact the peculiar
theft occurred right under her pillow.
AS a result of the raid, Sadie is this
morning suffering from the loss of her
purse and her revolver-both loaded.
The purse contained silver quarter
of a dollar, and Sadie says that she
thinks the person whose claws fas-
tened to it ought to feel worse than
thirty cents today. The gun contained
loaded shells with which, at the trip
ping of a trigger anyone's head might
be blown off If the head happened to
be in the right direction from the nose
of the gun.
The robbery occurred yesterday
morning in broad daylight Sadie had
gone to the home of neighhor on
Braasch avenue for a few minutes
maybe ten and maybe fifteen, but not
more than fifteen for sure-and when
she returned to her own domicile she
looked under the pillow 10 get the gun
and the purse. Sadie always has her
purse under her pillow and always
too, has her loaded gun under the pill
low in order to protect the purse.
But both were missing. The gun
was gone and the pretty purse had
parted-not that it had divided or that
it had parted from the gun, for it is

Born in Bunches In Tenements, But
Nary Youngster in Many Homes.
A rare bird is the stork, so the elite
who reside in New York's smart apart
ment houses say.
While the herald from the heavens
may drop in on the East Side with un-
erring regularity, not so with its visi-
tations to the more pretentious apart
ments up town, where rents are high
and style and beauty flourish.
The stork ought to be more gracious
say the landlords Of the apartments.
There is hardly one of them who OBJ
jects to families blessed with lusty
lunged infants, but the cry is seldom
heard.
One babe to more than fifty families
is average of the favors conferred by
the stork in the apartment houses each
year In decided contrast to this is
the record of the Rivington street
stork, which manages to get around
so frequently that few families have
less than four wailing youngsters,
while many Of them are blessed with
five or more In Rivington street the
stork has provided a tenement house
containing twenty-nine families with
102 children.

DR., TINDALL ARRIVES HERE
New Presiding Elder of Norfolk Dis
trict Reaches Norfolk.


Rev. DR.. Tindall the new presiding
elder of the Norfolk district of the
Methodist church, arrived in the city
yesterday from South Omaha and is
today looking for house DR. Sisson
has left Stanton for South Omaha,
where he succeeds DR.. Tindall. Con
cerning the farewell given to DR.. Tin
dali at South Omaha, the WOrld-Her-
aid says:
Churchmen and laymen, women and
children, girls and boys, thronged the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. A.
Cressey, Twenty-second and G streets,
last evening to say a formal good-by to
Rev. D. X. Tindall. the retiring pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal
church.
The event, though a farewell, was
happy, in keeping with the dominating
spirit of the guest of honor, whose
natural kindliness and good humor has
permeated every nook and corner of
his extensive flock and compelled the
love and respect of those in and out
of the church. The decree of the late
Methodist conference to promote Rev.
Mr. Tindall to the position Of presid-
ing elder of the Norfolk district was
a distinct disappointment to South
Omaha people generally. Rev. F. NJ.
SissOn will succeed him here.
Rev. William Gorst, presiding elder
for this district, with Mrs. GOrst was
present and spoke briefly of the retir-
ing pastor. Rev w. D. Stambaugh Of
the Letter Memorial church added an
propriate words and Rev. Mr. Tindall
spoke briefly and feelingly of his
years work and of the regret it gave
him to leave the friends to whom he
| had become so closely attached.
The departure of Rev. D. x. Tindall
and family is deplored. He is regard
ed as a conscientious and an eloquent
preacher, a good man and a progress
sive citizen. He took an active inter
est in the local commercial as we'll as
the spiritual welfare of South Omaha
and every phase of life here will feel
the loss of his influence.

the dog that leads the old blind man,
and the one that carries his masters
cane or paper, and the dog that can
do tricks, but it has been left to an
uptown expressman to utilize his little
spaniel as a hitching post. Almost ev-
cry day he may be seen seated by his
masters side, with a strap attached to
the collar he wears. When the team
stops and the expressman has to 60
into the house the dog jumps down,
and his master fastens the strap to the
horses Bride The dog will then sit
down and look up into the horses face
and remain in that position till the ex-
pressman releases him. At this he
leaps into the wagon, and they drive

czAR A PROMOTER oE PEACE
Issues Invitations to Second Confer
enee at The Hague.

Issues Invitations to Second Confer
enee at The Hague.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Emperor
Nicholas again appears before the
world as a promoter Of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japa-
nese war over, and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified, than
his majesty issues invitations to a
second peace conference at The
Hague.
That the emperor has done so was
learned from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to its authenticity.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise here, and that Rus
STA should plan a second conference,
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt, was also heard
with amazement. 1t is clear that the
step could not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete un-
derstanding with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt is
reported as being entirely in sympa-
thy with the proposal, and that he is
said to believe that to the initiatOr OF
the first Hague conference should be-
long the honor of convoking the sec
ond. and readily and even gladly &C
ceded to the Russian proposal, is clear
proof that the conference has already
been called, and that President Roose-
welt relinquished his part in it to the
emperor.
It was impossible to learn the pro-
posed date of the second conference
or to gain even an approximate idea
it. but it probably will not
be greatly delayed. Russia as the
power convoking the conference will
probably submit an official program,
the other powers submitting sugges-
tions.
