A Comedians Joke.

A celebrated Irish comedian went in

to have a little fun before his return.

The old gentleman took chair and
the comedian began to lather, expect
Ing every moment the barber would
appear. Five minutes passed and no
barber. Five more and still no barber.
The joker began to get desperate and
conceived a bright idea. Putting up
his brush he quickly changed his coat
again, took his hat and was about to
quietly step out behind the gentle
mans back when that worthy turned
his head and exclaimed:
Here, sir, aren't you going to shave

Then he bolted out Of the door, leav-

EFFECT ON INSURANCE RATES
Result of Reduced Prices for Electric
Lights Interests Business
Men of Omaha.

Men in touch with the situation assert
the fight on the proposed extension of a
years time for the street railway company
to put it's electric light and power wires to
private consumers underground is not
ended, though the ordinance has passed the
council Efforts are to be made at once, 1t
is said, to show the effect on insurance
rates which the extension will have and by
this and other means to induce business
men to bring pressure on the council to re-
peal the ordinance, That it can be proven
that insurance rates would be cut materi-
ally this year IL the street railways wires
were buried is freely declared.
Should a fight along these lines be sue
cessful and no settlement reached between
the electric light and the traction company,
the former is expected to carry the matter
into the courts on the point that the street
railway company has no franchise permit
ting a commercial lighting and power serv-
ice.
In addition an effort is to be made to
compel the street railway to use the I'M
derground trolley system in the downtown
district. 1t is pointed out that large cities
like Chicago have refused to let the over
head trolley into the congested districts
because of it's danger TO life and property.

HERMAN K0HEN NOT GUILTY

Containing Five Hundred Dol

After being out less than two hours in
actual consideration OF the case a jury in
Judge Days court brought in a verdict
of not guilty in the case of State against
Herman Kohen. Kohen is the deaf and
dumb man who was accused of having
stolen a money belt containing S5O1 from a
guest of the Aetna hotel who left the rich
package under his pillow on arising in the
morning.
The defense put Dr. Tilden on the stand
to prove that Kohen, because Of his affiicI
ton. was not morally responsible. The
state rebutted this to certain extent by
the testimony of Drs. Coulter and Spaud-
ing, but all the physicians agreed that the
manner in which Kohen became deaf and
dumb, through a fail when two years old,
might have had tendency to lessen his
knowledge Of right and wrong. The county
attorneys Office thinks the verdict was
also influenced by the fact that the man
who lost the money got it all back
