Brutal Assault IN p. 4. white

The story or the alleged assault on +. l..
White Of South Omaha and young woman
compsn Mon at Twentieth and Vinton streets
saturday night occasioned considerable eN-
element Sunday and spurred the police
TO greater efforts to capture the alleged
culprit. After several hours Of strenuous
effort on the part of the detectives Sunday
1t was discovered that the whole affair
was huge joke concocted by the fertile
imagination OF the woman in the case who
successfully pulled the wool-ovcr the eyes
Of White, the easy victim Of her wiles.
White went to a dance Saturday night
and there became infatuated with the
charms of Louise Kuhns, who lives at
Twenty-ninth and Monroe streets. Miss
Kuhns had quarreled with her sweetheart.
with whom she had gone to the dance. and
the attentions of White. a callow youth OF
tender age. proved very acceptable at that
stage Of the game and she acquiesced when
he asked her to he allowed to see her home.
They left the dance hall together, but the
old sweetheart of the girl did not intend
to submit for long to any such proceed
ings and followed White and the girl to
Twentieth and Vinton streets, where he at
tackled White, inflictng a slight scalp
wound. White fed from the scene, only
to return later But in the meantime Miss
kuhns and her former sweetheart had set
tied their differences. and in order to de-
ceive White TO his standing i'm her af-
fections, she told him the story of the
assault and that her assailant and his also
was colored man.
White telephoned the girls story to the
Omaha police station and the AFFAIR has
been the subject of investigation ever since.
Sunday afternoon the girl told the de-
tectives the true story OF the adventure
of the previous night much to the chagrin
of White, who as yet failed to learn the

WHAT IT MEANS 10 BE oHRIsrrAS
Hard Work and Development Upward
L. Required.

Hard Work and Development Upward
IL Required.
TO be a Christian In the full sense of
the word is 10 recognise the divine rela-
tionship with God and to endeavor to live
in and honor that relationship" said Rev,
Frank l.. Loveland, pastor of the First
Methodist church. yesterday morning. The
preacher spoke Of what it means TO be a
Christian. apart from the mere theology OF
Christianity.
The minister likened the relations of the
Heavenly Father and His children to the
relations of father and son of earthly ties.
tine divine relationship is reciprocal in
that father and son cannot get along with
out each Other. We are all children OF
God, and should recognize that relation
ship The Bible teaches we cannot get
along without the Father. The Father
longs for Ills children.
There sometimes Is the distance of es-
arrangement between son and father, which
distance NAY lie greater than the mere
distance of E0aet The distance of sin
and ,niquity sometimes is hard to brook
but yhpn tht s1n goes TO the Father and
says. I EBs sorry, then does Christianity
enter the sons heart God gave on Cal
vary a perpetual token of His hesrt-break-
ing for the world and Is ever saying. Come
home TO His children.
ITO be a Christian is hard thing: all
great things are hard to accomplish. Bun
vans idea OF a Christian, who IL trying
TO escape the things of this world does
not satisfy us; the cynie who says a
Christian is a man whose supreme hope
is to get his soul into heaven and goe 5
to church for that one purpose misses
the real meaning OF the word"
The speaker spoke Of the Christians, life
as a growth. an upward struggle for those
things which are the reward OF those who
recognize the divine relationship and live
in IL. We begin as a babe nestled in its
mothers arms and gradually grow in
Christian strength and grace until we stand
on the hirtOps Of mature faith and knowl-
edge

Glad to Get Home.

Il am very glad to get home and the few
hours that have been in the city cheer
me with the evidences of the growth and
prosperity of Omaha. The crops of the
state, as 1 understand, are great ana win
ming ones. This is most cheering news, for
the products of the soil of Nebraska, when
ID yieulds an abundant harvest, are better
and of more value than gold and silver
mines. The soil produces annual wealth and
instead of being exhausted is refreshed and
bettered by that which It annually pro-
duces. We may consider ourselves FORUM
ate our lot is cast in a great agricultural
state, the products of which arc well as
sured and increase annually in value by tile
use of intensive farming.

However. that is a subject talked with
you particularly about a year ago on my
return from Europe and It would be inter-
esting now, in view OF the appearance of
the new convert, to read what | said on
that occasion. Some OF the results that
spoke OF have been mentioned In the public
press OF the east, but many other results
Of great tith and moment do not seem to
have occurred to the journalistic mind.
However, as the subject has been mooted
and obtained prominence because of Mr..
Bryan's speech, there will be much said
and written upon it. and when the people
come to realize the dangers and trouble
that would follow in the wake of the policy
that receives contenance and support from

Due to Prohibition,

The reason for the reduced republican
majorities in Maine was because of the
agitation on the liquor question. Maine has
for many years had prohbitory law
which has been more honored in the breech
than In the observance. Evasion and ignor-
ing Of the law has caused much discomfort
and led to hypocricy and deceit. There
are no saloons in Maine. but liquor is clan
destinely sold and, while | am free to ad-
NIT that there is not much evidence of in
ebriety. the fact that the law is quietly
disobeyed has led to much opposition to
II by those who believe that when a law
exists ii should be enforced. There is
growing feeling in the state that high
license law with careful safeguards, would
be better than prohibition that breaches
but does not practice. ! came from my
observation of the conflict well satisfied
that the high license law of Nebraska is
one of the best, and all that is needed here
is careful observance of the law which
practically operates for local option where
the sentiment of the locality is in favor

Importance of the west and particularly
that section of the west that lies beyond

Mr.. Bryan's return was looked forward
to with great interest and there was brill
liant expectation of what might be his
views when he reached New York. His
New York speech was severe disappoint-
ment to the wiser members of the demo-
cratic party. This advocacy OF government
ownership of railroads shocked every man
who had given thought or study to that
subject, and those who have given it care
full consideration, after observance abroad
in the few countries where government
ownership obtains. were particularly an
tagonistical to Mr.. Bryan's views. I cannot
imagine more effective or a more danser-
Gus Capitalization of power than that which
would come with the government ownership
of railroads, and 1t is immaterial whether
that be ownership by the United States OF

MOB HANGS TWO NEGROES.
Batter sherlff's Residence and Secure
Key to Jail.

Springfield, Mo-, April IA mob
of 1900 men took two negroes, Hor-
ace Duncan and Jim Copeland, from
the county jail, hung them to the
statue of the Goddess of Liberty in
the public square and built fire I'M
der them, and they were roasted to
death.
The men were charged with assault
ing Mabel Edwards, but 1t is said
they were probably innocent.
Mabel Edwards came here recent
ly from Monet, Mo-, and obtained
employment as domestic servant.
While Miss Edwards and young
man named Cooper were out riding
in buggy they were stopped by two
negroes, who beat Cooper into uncon-
scioushess and dragged Miss Edwards
into the woods by the roadside and
assaulted her. Duncan and Copeland
were arrested on suspicion, but there
was no evidence against them.
A mob of 1000 men gathered at the
city jail and upon learning that the
negroes were not there, FASTENED to
the county jail, where the prisoners
were confined. Instead Of attacking
the jail at first, the mob stormed the
residence of the county sheriff, break
ing down doors, smashing windows,
destroying practically all the furnit-
ure in the lower part of the house,
and rendering the sheriff's wife I'M
conscious from fright and violence.
Overcoming the resistance OF the
sheriff and posse Of deputies. the
mob secured the key to the jail and
gained an entrance thereto. The
mob had no difficulty in locating the
cells Of Duncan and Copeland
When the committee who entered
the Jail came out with the two ne
groes, the mob began to clamor for
summary execution, shouting:
"Hang them!" Burn them!"
!. The unfortunate men were taken to
the public square and hanged to a
statue Of the Goddess Of Liberty and
a fire was 'kindled under them In
which they roasted to death, a crowd
Of 5000 watching their agony.
