MAN WAS UNDULY ANXIOUS
Thought Young Woman Was Victim
of Foul Play and Gave Police
Needless Scare.

A man giving his name as 3. F. Johnson
telephoned police headquarters Sunday that
ne entertained grave fears for the safety
of one Miss Goodhart Of Twenty-fourth
street and the city limits. Mr. Johnson
confided to the police his suspicious that
foul play might have figured in the dis
appearance of the young woman. Detec-
tives Mitchell and Dunn were detailed on
the case and located Miss Goodhart under
her fathers roof.
According to the story telephoned by
Johnson, the parents of the young woman
have wished that she marry the man OF
their choice while the woman entertains
certain well-defned notions on the subject
and, in an unguarded moment, told John
son she would not marry the man in the
case. At least so Johnson's story goes.
Now, when 1t came to pass that johnson
did not see Miss Goodhart for several days
he donned a pair Of gum boots and went on
| a still hunt for the woman, without say
| ing a word to her parents or anyone else
| in the north precincts Of the city. The
| longer the matter pressed on Johnson s
mind the more he thought that foul play
was in the air; so he called up the police
| station,
Detectives Mitchell and Dunn started on
the case with a bunch of clues. all OF
which led to a stone wall or up a blind
alley. The Goodhart house was finally To-
Gated and it was learned the young woman
had been home right along.
Johnson said he saw a hack moving al
a rapid rate on North Twenty-fourth street
| at an early hour Sunday morning, with q
pair OF feet sticking out of the door OF
the vehicle; hence he just concluded there
must have been foul play somewhere. SC
| IL is reported.

TALE FROM AN OMAHA LODGING
wierd story of HoIdup brakeman
who CIubbed a victim on
the Train.

Clarence Smedley Thompson tells I'm Pub
lie Opinion some Of his tramp experiences
as illustrating the attitude Of western rail-
roads and towns toward the "hobo." This
story which he tells has in it the germ Of a
tragedy:
At the Salvation Army lodging house IN
Omaha once chanced to meet fellow who
had just come out Of an extreme case Of
clubbing at the hands Of a brakeman. The
vagabond was a young swede Of good un-
dcrstanding who had been working in the
Kansas harvest fields. His clothes and his
manner lifted him out of the ordinary run
Of "stakemen." In fact, he showed me let
ters and papers that gave him a claim to
some respectabiity in Chicago, where he
was going at the time Of our meeting He
had been travelling east with a companion,
but they had lost one another. and it was
in relating this experience that he men
! toned the subject of clubbing.
I'VE got on a train in western Kansas"
| said the Swede where all the brakemen
carried clubs They were holding up every
one that had been working in the fields de-
manding 81 division from each man. We
paid our man 81 and when he went away I
climbed into an empty boxcar while my
chum remained on the bumpers. Pretty
soon the brakeman came running back and
| locking the little end door through which I
| had crawled he began demanding another 81
| from Tom. The fellow evidently got the
| idea we were coming away with a good
| sized stake, and he intended to share in II.
| But Tom refused TO give up and what do
you suppose the brakeman did then? He
! hauled out a club. and, standing above
| Tom, said he'd have the money or know
! the reason why. At that he hit Tom a clip
| over the head. I tried to break open the
| little end door, but that was impossible
without any bar to work with. and there
was none within reach There was moth
| ing, either, to permit my climbing to the
! top of the car out of the open side door
| and so l just had to stand and look on
| through a split in the end door Tom
| grabbed at the fellows legs to pull him
down on the bumpers, but he couldn't reach
far enough, and. besides every time he put
up his hands, the brakeman clubbed his
fingers and knuckles. Then the brute aimed
| for Toms head, and cursing him for re-
sistance, struck a savage blow. Tom made
| another break to get on top of the car but
| the club smashed his fingers, and then,
| dizzy, / guess, from the blow on his head
| he jumped, for all that 1 could see. to his
own death. l went back looking for him at
the next stop, a distance of some twenty
miles, but couldn't get any trace of him,
and since then I've been waiting for him
here: but he hasn't shown up, and haven't
heard any word from him, either"

CONFERENCE ON ESTATE TAX
First of It's Kind in Nebraska Will Be
Held on Tuesday,
WNsoNHALER TO ACT As APPRAISER
should Decision he Against Appoint
ment of Men TO value Estates
the County Attorney
VIII Appeal.

Tuesday Of this week is the day set for
the holding Of the conference on the in
heritance tax law between Judge Vinson-
haler, County Attorney Slabaugh and the
executors and attorneys Of the estates in
Douglas county which might be liable TO
the tax. The matter comes up in this
form because the county attorney has ap-
piled to the county court for the appoint
ment of, appraisers of the various estates
subject to the tax under the state law.
This will be the first conference of the
kind ever held in Nebraska and the out
come will be awaited with interest.
In the case of the estate of Ben B.
Wood, Judge vinsonhaler has, as hereto
fore noted in The Bee, declared the state
inheritance tax law unconstitutional for
the reason that 1t is not uniform in its
provisions for taxing inheritances, collat-
eral and otherwise. 1t is rather expected
because of this decision that the court will
deny the application for appraisers made
by the county attorney. II this is done
the latter will then take further measures
to have the point settled, probably by APP
peal to the district court Should the
county judges decision be sustained by
the district court the fight is certain 10
be carried to the state supreme court, and
It may eventually reach the supreme court
of the United States. This august tribunal
has heretofore sustained an inheritance
tax law enacted in Illinois, but Judge Vim
sonhaler. in his decision, said that the
constitutions of the two states differ on
| the matter in issue.
In Douglas county there are nearly two
! score estates that would be taxable, some
| for very large amounts. The tax derived
| from estates probated since July of this
year would be at the disposal of the Boart
of County Commissioners for the construc
tion Of permanent roadways outside the

Rev. Dr. Potter Pleads for More Con-
siderntiOn of the Future Life.
Greater care and painstaking in matters
Of the spirit as opposed to things of the
world was urged by Rev. G.. F. Potter in
his farewell sermon at St. Paul's Episcopal
church Sunday morning. He has resigned
10 take a larger charge, but his new post
has not been definitely settled. The para
Bile OF the rich man and the unjust steward
was used in his discourse.
THE conclusion to be drawn from the
words OF the preacher is somewhat start
ling" said he. 1T is to the effect that If
persons protesting religion only gave as
much care and diligence to religious mat
ters as worldly men give to business af-
fairs all would be well with them in this
life and hereafter. The prudence, foresight
and effort of the business man in his af-
fairs is held up an example for Chris
tans in their affairs.
Men rise early In the morning and
study matters of temporal concern to the
last item, but they never stop to read the
two greatest books in the world, the Bible
and the book OF common prayer. Women
lose sight of more important things in the
desire to break into society, to hobnot
with persons of wealth and influence and
TO get into higher social class
I'm the story the name of the steward
is not given, so that you may write your
name in the blank. God is the rich man
Whatever talents and goods you have came
from Him. You are His steward and Il
you do not use all you have to the glorj
OF God and the welfare OF man you are
wasteful. You may say that God hal
given you nothing TO be steward Of bu
this is idle talk. Your bodily health and
strength, your mental faculties, everything
you have, Is given to you for a purpose M
one can escape having an influence upor
someone else, particularly by example"

Men will Reap I'm Mature Years the
Crop sOwn I'm Youth.
Rev. w. r. Sawnill Of Washington, Iowa,
occupied the pulpit at the Central Presby-
terian church Sunday morning. and spoke
from the text. Galatians vi:vii-'Be not de-
ceived. God is not Knocked; for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap"
DR.. Sawhill said in part:
I'VE are too often confronted with the
expression that IL does not always follow
that sowing of wild oats in youth means
continued wickedness in mature years.
That is true providing the sowing does not
settle IN some weak spot. But be not de-
ceived; the scriptural admonltion is the
red lantern of danger swung across the
path OF life. The harvest of evil sowing
may not be immediate, but some time II
VIII come.
when tares are sown with the wheat
they must be permitted TO grow until the
harvest time comes. for we cannot pick
them out grain by grain. Whatever is
sown will bring a harvest Of its own kind
II we violate the laws of morality we
alone shall reap the harvest of sorrow
The good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit
nor can the bad tree bring forth good
fruit. Punish lent will surely follow the
violation OF Gods laws, and the punish
ment will be in kind of the sin committed
or the Indulgence tolerated. The sins OF
our youth are those to be most hated and
loathed. Sin grows and reproduces its kind
Eminence in sin in youth does not produc,
eminence Of piety in maturer years 1
does not follow that men are fitted To-
great works, by a youth of prohigacy
Keey your record clean, and II you do ;,
you will reap an everlasting harvest o
