SLEEPY HEWITT WANTS OUT
somnoIent Fisherman Pleads for
Freedom from John Powers
County Hotel.

SLEEPY" Hewitt has woke up. He wants
to break out of the county bastile, to which
retreat he was committed some time ago
by County Judge Vinsonhaler in default of
payment of a fine of $3.50 for illegal fishing
in Cut on lake. He has started his friends
to work TO ascertain II some method cannot
be found for releasing him before the sum-
mer season is altogether gone.
SLEEPY" insists he has rendered the
county good service as tier boss in the Jail /;
that he has enjoyed all the somnolent sur
cease he desires Cor long time to come;
and lastly, that his fine of $50 will take
twice the time to work out that would be
required If he had been sentenced by the
district court.
Sent to John Powers boarding house by
an inferior court, he is ai,Owed only 81 per
day for his enforced labor and circum-
scrbed lettering Men exercising with a
knife and a fork alongside of him are al
lowed 50 per day on their fines
This" says Mr.. Hewitt and his friends,
'1s discouraging.
They maintain that SLEEPY" can eat as
much as any other man in the Jail, whether
he comes from the district or the county
court. TITS being so, they insist that he
should draw the same allowance.
Pressure Is being brought to bear on the
county Judge, but he says he cannot see his
way clear to do anything for Sleepy UNI
less the county attorney moves in the mat
ter. Judge Slabaugh is an upholder of the
fish and game laws and just now It looks
as II one shining light of the Cut on lake
district would not have much chance this
summer to practice the gentle art at all.

ANOTHER HANDY CHECK MAN
Stranger with Accomplishments as Finan-
cier Strings Few Victims
PASSES OUT BOGUS PAPER FOR RIG
Liveryman and others Turn in
Their Securities TO the Banks,
where They Are Not
at Premium.

Henry Homan liveryman of South Thir-
teenth street, is out S12 good money and
has to show for 1t a dubious check for
$l4 which his bank marks mo good"
II happened this way: Friday last
rather neat appearing stranger hired
rig at the barn and payed for 1t in good
coin of the realm, and in order to con-
vince MIR. Holman that he was all right
showed him some other money and a check
for $l4 payable to Mr.. Wyndham' and
signed by j. e. House. AS Mr.. Holman
knew Mr.. House and as the fellow seemed
to have other good money, he let him have
the rig. The fellow came again Saturday
morning and engaged the rig for another
time, and when he returned Mr.. Homan
added an extra 81 to the bill Mr.. Wynd-
ham did not have the ready cash at the
moment and offered Mr.. Homan the SlI
check out of which he could take the 81,
paying him the balance of $l2
The proposition was accepted and Mr..
Wyndham was given the $12 in good coin
for the check, which he endorsed with the
fulsome cognomen of Basil Fredk. Wynd-
ham and went on his way rejoicing.
Matters seemed prospecting until early
check back from his bank with the noti-
fication. that 1t was mo good"
The only consolation Mr. Homan has in
the premises is that the versatile Colonel
Wyndham has planted several more checks
for like amounts about town that have
come to woe in the banks.

JAMES is NOW IN ETERNITY
FavOrite Son of Salisbury, Missouri,
Dies Aboard Train, Com
ing to Omaha.

Jimmy is dead He passed from this vale
of tears while riding in baggage car from
Salisbury, Mo- to Minden, Neb. Jimmy
passed in his trading stamps near Omaha
during the early hours of Thursday morn
ing and is now chasing mice on that far
away shore from which no kitten ever re-
turns.
Jimmy was a Maltese kitten owned by
Miss Jennie Chairman of Salisbury. Mo
He is survived by brother and sister and
was buried in the Missouri river Miss
Chairman was travelling from Salisbury to
Mnden, having with her in the baggage
car three kittens and a dog, which animals
she was taking TO a sick nephew at the
latter town. When she called at the bag
gage car at the Union station Thursday
morning for the pets, Jimmy lay PROSTATE
on the floor. Heat prostraton, the doctor
said had caused Jimmy's untimely death.
When the news OF Jimmy's death spread
throughout the Union station and into the
lunch room everyone subdued his converse
ton 10 whispered tones. Miss Chairman
was visbly affected, much so that sew
eral reporters were loath to question her
on Jimmy's sudden departure. She gath
cred up the two surviving kittens and tho
dog and proceeded to the Burlington station
for her train to Minden. One Of the yard
men took Jimmy's body and tossed it into
the Missouri river and that vas the last OF
Jimmy.
Jimmy is dead.

DYBALL LOSES HIS TROPHY
Wins Handsome suit Case ns Most
Popular Eagle only GO
see it Ruined.

Councilman Dybal was voted the most
popular man at the Eagle picnic Wednes-
day night This. too, after the whole mock
OF Eagles had canvassed the situation until
nearly o'clock. 1t was a handsome trib-
ute and the counclman's friends felt al
most as good over 1t as the friends Of the
smallest girl when she ran away with a
very swell handbag in the girls race,
The prize for the most popular man on the
grounds was suit case which looked dis
tinguished enough to have been made for
some proud nabob, or even fora railroad
porter on a fat" run. When 1t was pre-
scented to Mr.. DybaH he said, Come on,
boys" with an air that meant much busi-
ness for the smiling persons who were dish
ing out the lemonade ana other aids to
interior GOODNESS.
1t required some time for all the thirsty
descendants Of the fighting races properly
to saturate their dry plumage. When the
score was settled and the debonair and
elated councilman was walking proudly
away with his trophy big rough man de-
liberately punched a hole in the suit case
with the tip of an umbrella.
Dyball turned to annihilate the careless
person and then another strong arm sent a
cane plumb into the cleaning middle Of the
suit case. Then the crowd cut loose and
with all sorts Of sharp and pointed imple-
ments proceeded to make the suit case
look like a dead colored man who had
been holding an impromptu reception in a
southern Jail.
A careful estimate of the cost of the ele-
giant looking travelling bag indicated that
it must have cost at least q cents when
| new and whole.
Councilman Dyball afterward said with
/ fine scorn that he had not intended COINS

Human sympathy for the Dog.

Human sympathy for the pOE.
OMAHA, July 19-To the Editor Of The
Bee: "I never had but one friend, and here
he lies" said Lord Byron in his epitaph on
the monument to his dead Newfoundland
dog.
on Sunday last as Elmer Dundy, DR.. f.
w. Lee and Frederick Thompson were sail
ing in Mr. Thompson's yacht Nadia near
Sandy Hook, a Russian hound was seen
swimming for life. He called loudly for
help and he got it. A boat was Immediately
lowered and the poor dog was soon in the
hands of DR.. Lee, fed, dried and petted,
choosing Mr.. Thompson for his master A
fine example of kindness to the best friend
of man for all men and women to follow.
1t reminds me of another.
1t is now nearly fifty years, June 1855, 1
was acting surgeon in boats which conveyed
troops of the Harvey expedition to Fort
Pierre, One day from the deck of one of
the boats an animal was seen on the shore.
Glasses soon showed that 1t was dog. The
demand was universal among officers and
soldiers, one of whom was General Tom
Sweeney of Mexican and civil war fame,
and with the crew of the boat, for the
rescue of the dog. He was soon on board,
nearly starved, his nose SCARED and bleed
ing, and his eyes infamed from his struggle
for life with brush and bramble, and as
thin as a skeleton. Careful feeding and
tender care were his portion from that time
1t was fine Scotch terrier, which seemed
to know how to speak his sense of graft
tude in a dozen languages. The dog en-
listed in the army.
l ask the attention Of men. women and
children In Omaha who know me, or who
may not know me, to the lessC~ of 'Hes'
incidents. Kindness Of men an women Il
each other, and to animals whoNdo so mucl
for civilization, always carries with it it,

At THE PLAY HOUSES

Ferris stock Company at the Boyd.
THE Village Peacemaker," which was
offered by the Ferris stock company at the
Boyd last night, proved one Of the best
plays put on this season and was thor
oughly enjoyed by very large audience.
1t is very cleverly constructed along ra-
tlonal lines, and tells a powerful story in
an intensely dramatic way; all this in
quiet, even tenor, in which the turbulent
current of deeply stirred human passion is
dominated by the quiet diplomacy of a
warm-hearted priest, whose fund of rich
wit is as unfailing as his supply of common
sense and deep sympathy with those about
him. The characters are all human, well
drawn and most forciby presented. Put
together with skill and taste. THE Village
Peacemaker" scored a distinct hit.
Mr. Blaylock as the Rev. John Sullivan
gave a fine characterization of man
whose religion has not destroyed his in
terest in the world about him. and who is
in fact as in name a father to the flock.
Mr.. Barbour is more natural in the role
of the old doctor than in anything he has
undertaken this summer and Mr.. Todd
shows to splendid advantage as the trusting
brother. Mr.. Mckee has an excellent
comedy role and does it well. Mr.. Bostwick
is fair as the brother with the ambition,
and Mr. Beebe is good as the lover. Miss
Church enacts the role of the maiden who
suffers with good taste and judgment. Miss
Pavey is seen in a ~ew character. that of a
girl with temper and disposition to get
even with somebody when that temper is
aroused. This is somewhat of a departure
for she is most often seen as the gentle
clinging heroine or the weepy creature
who has been turned down. She does the
part of a girl with a bit of fire in hei
nature very well, and while she might moi
have aroused the usual vein of sympathy
she did achieve an endorsement for hel
ability an actress. THE Village Peace
maker" remains the rest of the week.
