of the other Ohio mayors, those who
are interested in good government are
expected to join the movement. A
similar association exists in Wiscon-
sin and might well be introduced else
where, as step toward forcing state
legislatures to allow cities to manage
their own affairs and work out their
own salvation. A mayor can always
do something if he wishes, though, of
course, the amount depends largely
on the city charter. In Cincinnati, for
example, nobody expected the Repub-
lican grasp to be shaken off when
Judge Dempsey was nominated. He
happens to be good man, but when
the reformers' found they had won,
they set about reading the city char
ter and discovered that immense pow
er lay in a certain board which they,
never expecting victory, had filled
with anybody who would run. The
results of this haphazard but char
acteristic performance are yet to be
seen. Cincinnati, nevertheless, is ex-
pected to improve under the new re-
gime, and at least a part of what
Johnson has done for Cleveland seems
likely to spread over the other cities
of Ohio. The time will come when it
will seem more honorable to do some
thing real for the advancement of
ones city toward purity and freedom
| than to make a fortune or seize a fed
eral office.-Collier's Weekly.
Mayor-elect Thompson, according
to an interview in Los Angeles pa
per said that "Mormonism probably
meaning polygamy) is not practiced
as much in Utah as the general public
believes. The older Mormons still
practice it, but l do not know of a
case recently among the younger gen.
Grafton" That is strange admission
for leader of a party whose battle
cry was that polygamy is rampant In
Utah and that new plural marriages
are the rule rather than the exception.
Truth extends sincere sympathy to
Mayor Morris and his family in the
sore bereavement they sustained in
the death of their daughter Rebecca
1t was altogether sad and distressing.
Miss Morris was but Is years of age,
just entering into glorious woman
hood, and just about to graduate
from the highest class of the grade
schools and enter upon the higher
branches of education. She was a
musician of great promise and alto
gether a loveable and most amiable
girl. The mayor and his family have
the heartfelt coincidence and SYM
pathy of all the people.

First Lieutenant Sidney S. Blu. Jank Of

10 a Filipino woman and subsequent en-

found guilty OF embezzlement and for

from the army and fifteen months in the

Member of Exclusive Family.


Burbank comes of one of the most exclu-
sive of the army families, which has been
represented in the official circles of the
army for a great many years. He first
came into prominence about three years
ago when he went to Fort Leavenworth
with his regiment and at once became
darling of the social set for his dashing
qualities. 1t was not long until his en-
gagement was announced to a young So
ciety girl just out OF the high school and
the devotion of the couple was the theme
for much comment Society was, however.
badly shocked shortly after by the an
nouncement that Lieutenant Burbank was
about to bring suit in the Leavenworth
civil courts to have set aside a certain
alleged marriage to Filipino woman
which had been contracted during the
former service of the lieutenant in the
Philippines. The case got into the courts
and was only equaled by the famous Tag
CART case. The case was tried and Bur-
bank took the stand several times and
testified that the Filipino woman was only
his mistress" and that the alleged mar
riage record was a forgery and was
brought forward for the purpose of black
mail. The case finally was knocked out
of court and Burbank went with his regi-
! ment to the Philippines a year or more
ago, where the case again was revived
Friends of the woman took advantage of
his return to the Islands and secured a
divorce for her. The woman was granted
$50 month alimony and the custody of
their child.

William II. Cranes occasional brief visits
are such charming reminders that comedy I )
not lost art in America; that the Stage
still has those who know how to make us
laugh in wholesome. reasonable way, and
without wanting to apologize to ourselves
afterwards for being so silly. One night
every two years seems little enough, but
as there is but one Crane known to the
world just at present, and 1t takes him
about that long to make the rounds of the
cities with which Omaha must, perforce,
share him, probably we ought to be very
grateful for that one night, and not COM
plain because IL doesn't come oftener. But
how welcome il would be If 1t did happen
just little more frequently-say once a
year.
The play in which Mr.. Crane appeared at
the Boyd last evening is one that gives no
American cause 10 blush for his country;
It was not primarily designed to humiliate
the conservative Britisher. buttressed by
manners and traditions that have been
growing since the days of Hengist and
Horsa at least but IL does just trifie rub
1t into some Of the established customs of
that country. II relieves this by showing
very clearly that British young people are
very much like American young folks, and
that however much parental authority and
opposition might have hampered the course
OF true love in day gone by, IL doesn't
any longer. To use one of the stars ex-
pressions, ''paternal objection doesn't in
terest us any more than the ingredients for
the upper crust of custard pie" 1t is
pure comedy. with bit of a moral. and
lot OF genuine humor in il. Its best rec
concentration is that it gives William II.
Crane a better chance 10 be what he would
rather be than anyone else on earth. just
plain Billy Crane.
In playing John Breuster Mr.. Crane
merely plays himself. II is devoid of man
nerisms as such. and yet full of quaint and
fieeting expressions of the face. movements
OF the head and body, OF gestures that say
nothing and mean volumes, and of sound
nature, trimming over with a rich humor
and a fine sense of justice and honor. From

Deputy Davis, Jail Guard Charles
Fisher and Chief of Police Morgan
he visited Gem Fleming's frst and

two OF them made their escape. AZ.

for Rhea Gray's picking up Assistant
Chief Bartholow on the way. At
Rhea's three men and three women
were found. The men we're taken

captured at Gems didn't put in any
very strong evidence but the Rhea

where they got the knife. 1t was
thought at first that 1t ha' been sent
up with one of the meals which the
prisoners occasionally order from a

last evening gave rise to the suspi-

the Jail another way.
On the west side of the jail and
facing on Porter alley is an old
stable which is now unoccupied save
occasionally as storehouse. Be.

About nine o'clock last night Jailer
Davis discovered a woman in this
narrow passageway. He threw rock
into the stable to scare her off but
she didn't scare. Then he climbed
from the alley upto the passage and
found the fairy-who is becoming one
