ONCE GRAFT DOES NOT GO
Trunk and Gold Brick Game Fail.
to Work on Publication
once.

An EFFORT is being made by the police to
get the federal authorities interested in the
case OF J. A. Angerman and Lillian Hon,
who were arrested Saturday afternoon on
the charge of defrauding Bessie Wear Of
SOS giving her a trunk filled with bricks
and other rubbish as security. Bessie Wear
paid the money as charges at the United
States Express cOmpany's office on trunk
for the Hoff woman and the money was
then sent to Angerman. It is thought pos
sible that the prisoners can be held on the
charge Of using the mails with intent to de-
fraud by having the spells of the clever
nim-fiam game sent through the mails to
Angerman.
Angerman went to the local headquarters
OF p. F. Collier, the firm he claimed to
represent, and told Manager Rice that he
was an old Collier employee and would like
to get job He presented a letter purport-
ing to be from the Davenport house Of Col
lier and Mr.. Rice mapped out a route for
him.
"Oh, err, by the way" said Angerman as
he was leaving the office, 81 have a trunk
at an express Office and they may call up
here about it. If they do wish you would
pay any charges on it and charge them to
my account"
That didn't look very good TO Mr.. Rice
and his skeptical nature began to get busy.
II was only little while till the call about
the trunks came In. There were three OF
them-trunks. But Golfers and Mr. Anger
man severed relations there and then.

MlSINFORMED OR GREAT LIAR
Answer of Captain storey TO Chancel-
Tor Andrews Condemnation
of Salvation Army.

"Our books are open to the public and
anyone who comes with an honest desire
to SEQ that our work is conducted honestly
will be allowed every opportunity to make
thorough examination"
This was the statement made by Captain
T. H. Storey, head of the Salvation Army
work in Omaha, in answer to the state
ment made by Chancellor Andrews Of the
University of Nebraska that the Salvation
Army was a plague and that its books were
not open to the public. Captain Storey is
in charge Of the work of the Salvation
Army In Nebraska and South Dakota
Chancellor Andrews has either been
greatly misinformed or is very great
liar" said Captain Storey. ITO state that
our books are not open 10 the public is
ridiculous. Every cent Of money COL
lected by our organization is accounted for
in as strict a manner as the money Of a
bank. For every dollar which we receive
IL we know the donor, we give a receipt
Every month the board OF each corns sends
in a report showing all receipts and dis
bursements and this report is checked up
by an expert auditor.
1.-THE field in Lincoln, from which the
chancellor evidently draws his ideas, is
very hard. It has always been regarded as
poor field. Little is done there beside
the religious work The last report Of the
captain there shows that he received an
average of $466 a week, out OF which he
must pay the living expenses of himself
and family with the exception Of rent
chancellor Andrews has either spoken
maliciously or else he has spoken whereof
he does not know"

SOME WEAK SPOTS IN THE LID
Police Arrest PrOprietOrs of Three
Saloons Charged with Violating
Sunday Closing.

Just as though Chief Of Police Donahue
never uttered word about the closing Of
saloons on Sunday; as though several
arrests had not been made during the last
month and the law violators punished, and
with the greatest disregard for the an
nOuncement of Police Judge Crawford that
he will deal more severely with future law
breakers who have had the benefit of fair
warning three saloons were found to be
open and doing business Sunday afternoon,
according to the police and the proprietors
arrested.
The first to fall victim was Henry Bur-
mester, 7O5 South Thirteenth street. whose
place Of business was ralded by Sergeant
Cook and Patrolmen Waters and Troby
The next was George zaffie, 92 South
Twelfth street, who was discovered and
locked up by the same squad. and the third
was George A. Walker. 1914 North Twenty
fourth street, whom Waters and Troby
trapped alone. The first was charged with
selling liquor on Sunday and the others
with keeping disorderly houses.
While the three arrests reveal the fact
the lid failed to cover properly. they do
not indicate the extent of it's shortcomings.
Saloons in the downtown district have ap-
parently got into the habit of observing a
weekly day of rest, but number Of outly-
ing drink stands looked very suspicious a
part of the day at least. OF course. the
uniformed officers travelling their beats had
little show of catching any industrious
saloon keeper in the act. and as there are
not enough plain clothes men on the work
to cover any great territory, they were
able to carry ON a little business with
proper caution. Chief Donahue will con-
tinue to cover as much ground as possible

Echoes and reports from the Torrey mis-
sion, just closed, were the chief order OF
business at the meeting Of the Ministerial
union Monday morning. Rev. ]. Randolph
smith, chairman Of the mission executive
committee, reported that. with the collec-
ton Sunday night of 1856, sufficient money
had been Received to defray all expenses,
80 far as known. At a late hour, however,
a bill came in Of SlOO for the rental OF
building where the committee had counted
on only S25. II more Of the bills still to be
settled turn out this way It is possible that
a call for more money will have to be made.
Rev. r. A. b. Mcbride, chairman Of the
personal workers committee Of the mis-
sion, reported the total number OF CONVEX
sions during the mission to be 1,62S Cards
have been returned for all of these and
tho names have been copied in book,
which will be kept for future reference. It
was proposed to place this book at the
Young Mems Christian association build
ing, where It would be open to all. The
fear that It might be used by persons for
wrong purposes, however, caused a change
20 be made in this plan and the book VIII
be left with the secretary OF the union.
A committee OF seven members, one from
each denomination, with Dr. Condo as
chairman, viii be appointed for the pur-
pose OF perpetuating the work started by

will be made 10 secure a continuation OF
this line Of EFFORT.

thanks Of the union to DR., Torrey for the
work of awakening and revival which his
mission accomplished.
A resolution of thanks to The Bee and
World Herald, the merchants. the electric
light company and others who have helped
the work of the mission was unanimously
adopted.
A number of ministers spoke upon the
effects of the mission and the procedure
upon which the effect may be made perma-
nent.
1.-THE spectacle Of the churches Of Omaha
working as one unit and with all the men
in ''team play" to use foot bail term, has
been a gratifying sight and will be Of per-
manent value to Omaha said DR.. L. o.
Baird Now It is for us as ministers and
working laymen to realize that we are
not a set OF scrubs" but that we are al
ready in training for the next great
"game," though that time may be several
years away yet. The revival is over. but
the survival is yet to be seem"
DR.. Herring said he believed the work
done was of particularly lasting nature
because II had not been accomplished un-
der stress OF undue emotion, nor was It the
result OF any personal quality in DR.. Tor

preached.

AMERICA TO LEAD IN ART

Alfred Montgomery OF New York City,
known in this and other countries as "the
Farmer Painter Of the World" spent Mon
day in Omaha on his way home from Lin
coin. While here he visited w NJ. David
son. superintendent of the public schools,
these men having been close friends for
many years. Mr.. Montgomery painted the
famous corn picture which was reproduced
on the souvenir menus used at the Roose-
welt banquet at the Omaha club on April
q, 1903 The president bought the original
picture. The late President Mckinley also
bought one OF Mr.. Montgomery's famous
corn paintings.
"A man has no business to take up the
attention Of the public unless he has
message Of helpfulness and hopefulness,"
said the artist. 1.-THE spirit Of utter self
abnegation must pervade all efforts that
are intended for the advancement Of man
kind.
School of American Art.
ut has occurred to me that the time has
come for America to establish a distinctive
school Of American art. We are at liberty
under duty-to go about over the vast field
of art and absorb out of 1t all that we can
make our own, adding distinctive charac-
teristics of our own civilization. II Amer
lea can furnish painters and way to pro-
duce pictures that will have the force and
effect OF the masters OF Europe, adding
distinguishing characteristics of our own
civilization, then the public good will be
enhanced by the perfect accomplishment
Of purpose which is, after ALL the highest
art.
II believe America shall again become
providential in her literature and art-that
Angelo, Millet and their confreres of all
time shall yet talk Familiarity to the mighty
souls of this new land whose visions wait
even now for paint and canvas. The spirit
Of liberty, equality and fraternity-the early
vision Of the morning-shall be set in her
noontime in poem and canvas. The roll of
her mighty rivers will be there and the
sweep of her mightier plains will be there
THE time has gone by when we can look
on consistent art study as luxury 1t is
a necessity to the highest attainment. It
is to the progressive American that we
must look to in the future and take up art
lines and carry them to the unconquered
and undiscovered realms of human useful
ness"

TWILIGHT SHADOW ),

Twilight shac ows softly stealing,
Spreads their veil upon the light,
And TO my fancy thus revealing
Mystic forms that TO my sight
Once we're ~goblins fierce aud wild
when | was little child.
Now as | behold approaching
Twilight just before the night
Aud their gloomy shades eneroaching
Where one hour before was light,
I'm reminded that life's day,
Slow but sure must pass away.
Pardon me for sadly thinking
OF the days forever past,
And lfe's sun that's surely sinking;
For the time will come at last
When the shades of death will creep
Ger me just before | sleep.
But there is another twilight.
That proceeds the coming day
And the shadows Of the night
Slow but surely fade away,
And soon the sunshine will appear
Giving blessing everywhere.
And to deaths dark dreary night,
Twilight surely will be given,
That will change to glorious light
OF everlasting day in Heaven,
Where immortal youth and health
Are the souls Astounding wealth.

there cannot be the slightest
doubt that love is caused by a bac
illus, like scarlet fever or infu.
enza, and that it affects the brain,
even to producing effects similar
to madness. When this bacillus is
discovered, says the doctor, and
means are found to destroy it, il
will be possible to put marriage
on a sound practical basis.
