Independence and the PRONUNCIATION Of
American liberty in l716, was holding tn,

Musical Fund hall in the historical city
OF Brotherly Love June is. 1856 with the
fruitful and beneficial results that fol-
lowed, and was the most importantln Aneri-
can history. That great body Of American
yeomanry from every hamlet, city and
state north Of Mason's and Dixon's line,
comprised many original abolitionlsts, free

democrats to the standard OF the new born
republican party. that since has contributed

Jesse Lowe.
OMAHA, June 2.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The name Of Lowe in Omaha is
classic. The mention Of Jesse Lowe by
Mayor Dahlmsn for city engineer recalls
it in my very ready memory, dating
back to the period Of the nrst occupation
of Omaha as a townste in the early
months OF 1854 Dr. Enos Lowe. father VI
the late General Lowe OF the United states
army. was president and actual director.
general OF the Council BUNS Ne
braska Ferry company, which FIRST owned
occupied and possessed Omaha as NUM-
cipal corporation. William d. Brown owned
the land by recognized right Of possess OIL,
and from him 1t was purchased by DR..
Enos Lowe, General r. Curtis, James A.
Jackson and others of Iowa and Council
Bluffs. 1 FIRST met DR.. Lowe in Council
Bluffs, where he then resided, in October,
nearly fifty-two years ago. In 1857, think,
he built the fine home on the corner OF
sixteenth and Harvey streets, which is
now the location OF Bennett & Co.'S great
mercantile house. Jesse Lowe. the first
mayor OF Omaha was the only brother OF
DR.. Lowe, and the Jesse Lowe who bears
his name is his son. His mother was the
late Sophia Lowe. whose recent death was
90 widely lamented. His father directed
the organization OF the city government in
1856 under the counsels OF the late James
NJ woolworth. who was city attorney, and
made the deeds of property to owners.
Jesse Lowe started in business in Omaha
In the Arm Of Lowe q Christie, and has
been long in the business OF government
contracting, the frm unchanged, OH a
large scale. He came from New Orleans
to attend his mothers funeral a few months
ago. 1 knew him from his cradle, and have
rejoiced in his excellent character and
useful and successful life / should be
glad IL he could see his way to come back
to his birthplace and old home to stay.
When DR.. Lowe built his fine mansion
on the hill, Of that day his aim was TO
locate it so far out of town that the latter
would never encroach upon its peace and
quiet in his time. l used to go out near
IL and "shoo deer and prairie chickens
I didn't shoot any. thank the Lord, for
the principal reason that 1 didn't know
how.
Nothing more clearly marks the narrow
view OF Omaha's future In those early
times the stupendous reality OF these
times than the erection OF DR.. loves home
far away from what, with his known
ability and foresight he thought would be
the center OF the town. 1t was In that
fine home that DR.. Lowe gave the reception
which introduced Robert II. Clarkson tc
the people of Omaha.

ASHLAND, Neb.. June 2O.-To the Editor
Of The Rec: In behalf Of the Nebraska
State Medical association, through its COM
mittee on public policy and legislation. the
press of Nebraska is respectfully asked TO
copy the following advice and warning in
regard to the use of dangerous fireworks
on independence day, July 4, and comment
thereon, edtorially. as strongly as the i'm
portance of the subject demands and their
Judgment directs.
No space and words need be wasted to
emphasize the folly in the use of highly
explosive fireworks, and when they are per-
mitted to be used by children such prac-
tice certainly becomes a crime, against
which the strong arm of the law should
bc welded with emphasis

cause most Of these deaths are owing, FIRST
to the wanton practice Of using deadly toys.

Immediately attended to by competent
surgeon.
The people are especially warned that
penetrating wounds similar to those caused
by nail. II soiled by the dust of the street
or the dirt Of the barnyard, are very dan

rible commissions.
II, therefore, law and parental discipline
cannot prevent the use of toy pistols giant

upon injury, the child should be quickly
brought to the family physician who, know
ing the great danger of punctured wounds
in these cases. will unhesitatingly and

BLACKWooD BOY SURRENDERS
After Spending n Night and a Day In
Hiding He Returns to His
Home,

After spending a night and day in hiding
12-year-old Paul Backwood, the lad who is
accused Of shooting Willie German, aged
10, with a % caliber revolver Friday morn
ing. appeared at the police station, tired,
frightened and very repentant, Saturday
evening, accompanied by his mother, sister
and Emergency oficer sandstrom. AS there
had been no complaint filed with the police
against the little fellow, Captain Dunn told
him to so home, but henceforth let re-
volvers alone.
The lad told Captain Dunn that when
some boys told him he had shot and killed
the German boy, he became badly fright
ened and instead Of going home hid all day
until night, then -crept into vacant house
on Thirty-third street, getting up Saturday
morning and keeping out Of sight until
light again fell BY this time he had be-
come homesick and hungry, and was anxi-
Gus to go home. However, fearing a severe
whipping, he dared not go near the house,
but. relying on the loyalty OF his sister.
he managed to get her by telephone and
told her he would come home If he would
not he whipped. She, greatly worried over
his absence. gladly promised him immunity,
but without consulting the father, and
when the boy did reach home It was only
parent.
II was the sound Of this encounter that
first brought the police into the results OF
the shooting of the German lad. Neighbors
hearing the noise telephoned the police that
a man was whipping the Blackwood boy
and Officer SandstrOm was sent TO the
house at 11ls South Twenty-seventh street
Lewis Blsckwood, the father, was greatly
incensed at his sons action and declined
to go with the boy to the station.
The boy said he bought the revolver from
a dealer for S2S intending to use It for
celebrating the Fourth OF July. As to the
wounding Of Willie German. he said he wa,
a block and half away from him when HI
shot and that he did not aim at or try tC
hit him. In fact. he said he did not know
he had struck him until he heard some on,
/ call to and run toward him, when he turned
and fed, throwing the weapon as he ran.
