YOUNG RAYMOND ENTERS ARMY
Reports at Last Minute After
His Runaway wedding
EscapRde.

The civil and federal authorities came
near a dispute over the possession OF
Frank Raymond who showed up yesterday
at the recruiting station in the nick OF
time to avoid becoming deserter, While
there Detectives Drummy and Maloney
came to take him on the forgery charge,
for which he is wanted in Lincoln. The
sergeant at the recruiting station refused
to give him up After considerable dis
cussion Drummy convinced the officer that
Raymond must either be given UP or placed
under guard until proper procedure could
be taken. Then Raymond was taken IN
charge by the detectives. When notice of
the capture was sent to Lincoln the In
jured parties declined to begin proceed
ings against the boy and he was released
TO the federal authorities. He has before
him a three years service In the army
What provision he will make for his young
bride is unknown. He must leave In day
or two for the mobilizing camp.

Mr.. FAIRFIELD ISSUES A CARD
He Replies to the Personal AspersiOns
of Manager Lane of the Tele-
phone Company.

The Nebraska Telephone people seem to
be disturbed at the prospect that someone
else may make a little money. 1 do not
think Mr.. Lanes line of reasoning will i'm
press anyone as very important to the bus
mess interests of Omaha. We do not pro-
pose to be drawn into any personal con-
troversy Mr.. Hunt is not the issue, nor
any Of his associates. The issue is simply
this: What benefit would an Independent
telephone company be to the working men
and the mercantile class OF Omaha? To
the working man 1t would mean additional
work in the construction OF buildings, con-
duits and pole lines and the employment of
large number of permanent operatives.
To the mercantile class II would bring
connection with a vast number of custo-
mers. present or prospective, throughout
the surrounding country with whom our
people now have no telephone connection.
As has been stated in former announce
ments there are more than 125,0O0 inde-
pendent telephones in Nebraska and west
ern Iowa that cannot now be reached from
Omaha. The cost OF an additional tele-
phone is wholly trifiing when compared
with the benefits to be obtained. To the
mass OF the people who can get along with
one telephone the question is that OF
cheapness. To every user Of a telephone
there is the additional question Of good
service.
Mr. Lanes charge that this is scheme
to sell out is best disproved by the guar
anty and bond offered by the Independent
company. The sale to any other company
doing business here would forfeit our fran
chise. The city would be richer by $4,000,
the amount of bond we offer, and in any
case the working men would have already

The president has In course his annual
message to the congress and as he pro-
poses to discuss the insurance question In

The conference last night continued until

1t is known, however, that the president
has been urged strongly to recommend to
congress the enactment of such legislation
as will give the federal government super

ETIQUETTE OF GIFTS.
Not Considered Good Form for Girl to
Accept Handsome and Expen-
sive Gifts from Men.

1t is always best for a young girl
to accept only flowers and bon-bons
from men. ! know that nowadays girls
very frequently accept much handsom-
er presents, but think a safe rule for
you to make Is to always refuse all
gifts from men but flowers and candy
and perhaps books and music. Of
course. if you have known a young
man for years, or if he is an intimate
friend of the family, special dis
pensation" might sometimes be
granted. Otherwise | would advise
you to return any very handsome gift
which is sent you by a young man,
and with it send gracious and COR
dial note, showing your friend that
you appreciate most sincerely his
kind thought of you, and assuring him
that you return the gift only because
you make it rule never to accept
from any man anything beyond the
conventional gift of flowers, books or
bon-bons.

QUEEN WEARS FEW JEWELS
Alexandra Of England Sets a New
Fashion Which Society Will
Follow.

London.-Queen Alexandra has of late
begun to set fashion which is causing
CONSERVATION to millionaire women
and jewellers. She wears few jewels,
and these of the simplest. 1t is said in
court circles that he queen is tired OF
the ostentatious display of gorgeous
jewels, in which American women have
had so great a part. Recently at the
opera it has been noticeable that the
queen had only quiet pearl collar or a
small diamond ornament, while the
women in the surrounding boxes flashed
like miniature lighthouses.
The royal circle is gradually following
the queens example. so it is expected
that fashionable women will soon be dis
tinguishable by the absence of ostenta-
ton in jewels.
The king of Spain is not of Queen AL.
exandra's way Of thinking. He has an
intense love of gems, and was never done
exclaiming over the magnificence of the
display of jewels at the gala perform
ance at the opera. As he specially loves
sapphires. the queen asked Mrs. Mackay's
jeweler to show the young king Mrs
Mackay's famous sapphire set, and he
was so delighted that he took a sketch
Of the ornaments, intending to get then
duplicated for his future bride.

JACQUES l. NO FOOL.
FRENCH EMPEROR OF SAHARA
is DOING WONDERS.
Englishman Declares NJ. Lebaudy Is
a Benetcent Autocrat-Has an
Army of 1000 Men Under
His Control.

London.-Jacques l., emperor or the
Sahara, erstwhile known to fame as NJ.
Lebaudy, of Paris. and the reputed pos
SCISSOR of more money than brains, is
commonly regarded as a notoriety seek
ing freak" whose kingdom should be
restricted to the confines of an asylum
That at least is the way he is written up.
W. L. de S. Lennox, an Englishman
who recently had abundant opportuni-
ties for studying Lebaudy al close range,
takes different view. LennoX has JUS
returned from a years stay at Troja,
where the eccentric Frenchman has
established the capital of what he
dreams will some day be a mighty EN-
pire.
Jacques L." he said. "has done won
ders in a country that formerly pro-
duced scarcely anything but brigands
and paupers. Two years ago. when he
went to Sahara. the territory was in a
most primitive state Now law and or
der have been established. schools have
been opened. an embryonic city OF 5000
inhabitants has been brought into eX-
istence. many acres have been brought
under cultivation and yield sugar, cot
ton. rice and tobacco, while stores
granares and other Improvements have
been introduced.
THE empire is self-supporting, He
leads an industrious life and is the hard
est worker in his kingdom. His role is
that of beneficent autocrat. He has
installed Frenchmen at the head of the
various departments who are practical
men and good organizers,
Jacques maintains harem, but he
does SO solely because, to obtain respec;
for his authority. he finds it necessary
to conform to the customs of his people,
He wants no outside interference and
discourages the settlement of foreign
ers until he has more fully developed
the commercial resources of the coun-
try.
There Is now under the emperor's
rule about 1000 square miles and pop
ulation of something like 10000 people,
Through his domains constantly pass
camel trains from Central Africa to
Morocco, Before he appeared they
were subject to constant depredations
by brigands. Jacques |. extracts tribute
from them, but in return gives them
military escort, watering privileges and
protection.
THE imperial army is composed of
1000 men. each with a camel and re-
serve force of 600 Every soldier is well
equipped with modern small arms.
These men. as we'll as everybody in the
empire, can always count on plenty to
eat, which is something they could
never do before. The national faith is
Mohammedan, which Lebaudy nominal
ly processes, although he is really a
| Catholic.
''He employs much ceremonial pomp,
and his durbars are grand affairs, but
this is necessary to properly impress the
Arab mind with his importance Agri-
culture is the foundation of Lebaudy's
scheme of empire | expect to hear of
his exporting wheat in another year.
when Lebaudy visits Europe his as
sumption of imperial dignity is always
ridiculed; but on these trips he is by
no means the fool some people take him
for, and drives some shrewd bargains in
the purchase of supplies. He is working
along the right line"
