COUNTY FAIR GOES BEGGING
VIII Go Back 90 Kings
Highway.

Because of the failure OF any OF the
country towns to make a suitable bid
for the location OF the county fair It
WILL In all probability, be held in con
nection with the Ak-sar-Ben carnival again
this fall. The board Of directors OF the
County Board OF Agriculture held a meet
ing at the court house yesterday afternoon
for the purpose Of considering the propo-
sitlon OF changing the location OF the
fair, but IN the absence OF any definite
propositions no action was taken.
The request that the fair be separated
from the fall carnival came from some
Of the outside members OF the board and
some time ago IL was agreed 70 receive
bids for its location for 1--WE years Both
Florence and Benson showed some interest
In the matter and Benson sent a com.

ELKS ARE DOING BIG THINGS
Take I'm New Members and Lay wires
for Twenty-Fifth Anniversary
Celebration.

The club rooms of the local lodge OF
Elks were taxed Friday night, the Occa-
sion being the initiation of new members.
Ten were given the trip across the burn
ing sands on the back OF the goat, the new
ritual being used in omaha for the first
time, and was pronounced by the members
as being beautiful. After the business
meeting and the initiation ceremonies a
delightful banquet was served and the
flow Of wit was interesting.
The celebration of the twenty-hrst an
niversary Of Omaha lodge No. SO, Bene-
VIOLENT Protective Order Elks which
was to have been celebrated Febru-
airy, Z, was necessarily postponed on
account of the death of two members of
the lodge. The season of lent followed,
and It was decided not to take the matter
up during that period. At the meeting on
Friday evening last the matter was fully
taken up and discussed
With the intention of making It one of
the most pretentious social affairs ever
given b ythe local lodge it has been de-
termined to hold stag social May 16 at
the Auditorium, to which, as is customary,
each Elk will have the privilege Of bring
ing an invited guest, and in addition it is
expected that one thousand business men
vited.
The use Of the Auditorium for the func-
ton is made necessary because of the lin
tied quarters available in the Elks' build
ing. and the lodge has made liberal ap-
preparation of money TO make the event a
success. Competent committees have been
placed in charge Of the social features and
representative body OF Elks will act as
reception committee at the Auditorium.
The Auditorium committee in apprecia-
tion OF this Social, will furnish the fun
and magnificent setting OF the Streets of
Paris" as a stage background for the occa-
sion.
The entertainment committee have a
number OF surprises under consideration
for the amusement program and the acts
and stunts" presented win eclipse former
efforts along similar lines.

OMAHA, May 4-Edltor of The Bee:
1t is doubtless Of small Importance, yet
l always like to keep a straight record
Your reporter makes me to approve the
muzzling feature OF the new ordinance on
dogs. | did not. l do not. The new or
dnance Is just the same in principle as
the old one. II is simply curative to meet
the decision Of Judge Redick, who held
the old ordinance void, because II con-
ferred legislative powers on the mayor. !
was opposed to the old ordinance. / am
opposed to the new. But only because OF
the muzzling feature implied or expressed
in each. That dogs and other animals
should not be allowed to run at large, in a
large city, to annoy or imperil the public
is clear as the day. That the owners of
dogs should be held to the strictest ac-
countabllity for their animals is equally
clear. But ] do not see either the neces-
sity or the humanity of ordering the in
Fiction of the cruelty of muzzling dogs as
an alternative to their being securely kept
on owners premises. The council might
just as well order the hobbling of horses,
or the dehcrning of cattle, as an alter
native to their being kept on the streets.
The muzzle is a cruel restraint upon the
dog, especially in the hot months Of sum-
mer. 1t does not, 1t cannot prevent the
annoyance of which more people complain
than complain of danger from rabies; the
annoyance of dogs running at large at
the cost Of gardens and plants and small
shrubbery.
But now, sir, the law is passed, and so
II is no use to waste time in complaints.
As ii does not compel people to muzzle
their dogs, may 1 not ask the humane peo-
pie of the city who own dogs to eschew
the muzzie and keep their dogs securely
confined at home, at all events for the
next four months. where they can be
regularly fed and watered, and have full
power to defend themselves from their
tormenting insect enemies.
1t will be no use at all to ask ire
sponsible persons to refrain from muzzling
their dogs. 1t is the easiest way to buy a
25-cent or a 5O-cent muzle for their dogs,
and let them run at large to annoy their
nelghbors and exposed to attacks of stray
unlicensed, unmuzzled dogs, rabid or not
which will have free course through the
city, where neither policeman nor dog
catcher are to be found l may add here,
that II the dOg-catchns force is to be in
creased, some of the councilmen sug-
gcsted on Monday. the capacity of the dog
pound will have to be increased two, three
or four fold. or else theItime during which
dogs are to be held before they are killed
will have to be correspondingly shortened.
The dog-catchers are now taking up go
or 300 dogs a month. That is very near the
limit Of the pounds capacity under our
present rules. JOHN WILLIAMS.

the office while last month the number

The story told by the play concerns the
redemption OF Moll O'Hara, a woman Of
the slums, worse than many of her neigh
bors because she has character and her
badness is not the result OF weakness, but
OF perverted strength. She has gone al
moot the limit through her cynicism when
! her heart is touched by Miss Thompson a
wealthy slum worker, who appeals to the
mother instinct that asserts itself even in
this drunken and abandoned creature The
result is Moll leaves her old life and revels
In the glory Of her redemption and the
love of Bill Hubell barkeeper. The crisis
in her life comes when she finds the man
Miss Thompson is about to marry is
faithless roue and unworthy In every way.
She resolves to save her friend from what
must be an unhappy marriage Her de-
nouncement Of the wretch Is not believed
by Miss Thompson, and finding Il the only
way to open her eyes she makes an ap-
pointment with him in her room and ar
ranges 10 have Miss Thompson break in
upon them Unexpectedly. The plan works
but she is first discovered by her own
lover who renounces her as faithless Miss
Thompson also refuses to believe her guilt
less, and abandoned by all her newly made
friends she Is on the verge Of returning to
debauchery when she is recalled to her
good resolves by the picture Of the virgin
hanging on the wall. The play ends hap
PLY however. in the good old-fashioned
way.
1t Is in the third act that the power
Of the play is developed. This is the act
in which the revelation is made 10 Miss
Thompson at so great cost to the reformed
girl. 1t Is also just here that the weakness
in the development of the plot Is seen.
The element of suspense is almost lacking
in the scene because OF the rapidity with
which the situation is developed. Moll
OHara. after being renounced bv Her
lover plunges headlong into her resolve
to go back to her old life. and then no less
precipitately changes her mind when her
eyes fall on the picture OF the madonna.
The audience IS hardly given time to get
itself into full sympathy with either sltua-
ton before the change comes Besides
soul crises are hardly passed even by per-
sons OF strong character in such a preclpi-
tate manner

PARIS AND GUILLOTlNE.

PARIS, Sept. 16.-In a series of Curl
Gus public manifestation the increas-
ing Indignation Of the masses against
the escape from the guillotine of Soleil-
liant, whose sentence to death for the
atroclous murder of a girl II years old
was committed last week by President
Fallieres to life Imprisonment, was ex-
pressed today. The demonstration, de-
spite the fact that several arrests were
made, was almost entirely ar orderly
one. Many women participated. 1t was
organized not so much against Soleil-
liant as to express the voice of the pop
ulace against the wave of crime COM
mitted against little girls, which lately
has Increased to an alarming degree,
and which, 1t is feared. the commute
ton of the sentence of Soleillant will
only stimulate.
The newspapers of Paris are devoting
great space to the Soleillant ase. Many
of them loudly condemn the failure Of
President Fallieres to permit the law TO

that ne Communication of this sentence
signifies the passing forever of the gull

STRAW HATS ARE BANISHED.
Got Yours on Today7 Anybody Say
Anything About it,

Are you one of the men who, de-
spite your Sunday resolution not to be
caught mapping, covered your head this
morning with the familiar old straw
hat, after a two-minute breakfast n q
mad break from the house to get to
business on time? Maybe you are, and
il so you have doubtless been hearing
serious and frivolous remarks about the
improperly of a man wearing a straw
hat after September Is. Safe to
say you won't go to business to-
morrow with the condemned lid I'M
less you have courage enough to stand
for the gibes of your acquaintance.
They won't let up on you, rest assured
of that.
Warm enough for a straw hat to-
day? OF course it is, but what's that
got to do with it when straw hats have
gone out Of style until next summer?
Wear anything else you please, but do
not wear a straw hat when h gong
sounds; that is something nc man o
town will do. Better to wear n of
your grandfather's sombreros than to
be seen with a straw roof over your
head after September Is. Put your
straw hat in the garnet, put 1t in the
kitchen range, give it to the ash man
or the peddler or send 1t to your
try cousin, but don't wear 1t any longer,
whatever you do with it.
This masculine edict about the head
gear of the good old summertime has
been observed these many years, and
there's no getting away from it.
Hatters last Saturday did a land-office
business supplying the fall styles, and
some of them are the limit. What of
thatl Aren't some costly outputs for
femininity the limit? Maybe in the
future man will wear something as bad,
but will the time eve come when a
man may appear in public with a straw
hat after September Is? TITS doubtful.
The new hats for men are all shapes,
with the soft hat in favor. although
there are men who stick to the reliable
black derby. But straw hats! Adieu!

the local men, because of their antipa-
thy to the Bishops law, nave desired
to use the influence of the Newark, so
ciety in a political way. This, however,
has been opposed by other members not
because they loved the Bishops law
less, but because they lived strictly up
to their constitution. The result has
been a number of arguments.

session held yesterday afternoon at
headquarters, William and Washington
streets, were President George Grimme,

WATCH FOR 'HUGGER'
YOUNG WOMAN MEETS HIM
IN NINTH STREET.
Repulses Him and Sees Him Annoy

Young-Men on the Alert.

Developments last week showed that
Jack the Hugger" has reappeared in
the upper end of the city, n If he is
caught the male residents of that sec
ton may administer a coat of tar and
feathers. Irate fathers and husbands
have organized a vigilance committee,
and will patrol the n~eighborhood fully
prepared to chastise the rufflan.
Miss Elsie Rossnagel, a pretty 49,
year-old girl, of 219 South Ninth street,
was accosted by a stranger last Fri
day night in Ninth street, near Thir-
teenth avenue, and only her pluck and
presence of mind kept her from being
rudely used, and a short while after
three girls, whose names could not be
ascertained, were insulted by a stranger
in the same street.
Miss Rossnagel left her home at 8
o'clock, and when near Thirteenth ave-
nue. a gray-haired, smooth-shaven man,
about 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a
dark coat, gray trousers and soft hat,
approached her and after speaking to
her attempted to take her ARM.
The young woman thrust him from
her, and then, without making an out
cry, began to walk rapidly toward Thir-
teenth avenue, with the man following
her. When she reached Thirteenth ave-
nue. the stranger stopped before he
came under the glare of the electric
light, and when the young woman
turned around to see what he was doing
she saw him approaching three women
who had come up Thirteenth avenue
and saw the ome step into the street
and hurry along, with the man u
tering behind them,
Ninth street in the vicinity of Thir-
teenth avenue is poorly lighted, es-
pecially on the upper side, where a
high brick wall surrounded the grounds
of the House of Good Shepherd stretches
for nearly a block, and the trees with
their heavy foliage makes it a dark
and dismal spot. There are but few
houses on the opposite side of he
street, and it would take a loud cutlery
to be heard to the nearest habitation
on the upper side of the street.
This entire stretch by the House of
Good Shepherd is lighted by one dim
gas lamp that only tends to make the
darkness more intense, and thus ia
vored by ,his surroundings, the gray
haired hugger has hourished for some
time. and lately has grown bolder as

The street is in the Fifth Police Pre-
cinct, but the desk sergeant today de-
clared that they had no knowledge of
anyone annoying women in the neigh
borhood.
1t is said that the wall around the
House of Good Shepherd is to be ex-
tended further on South Ninth street,
and the residents in the neighborhood
will make a request to the manage
ment of the home to have a watch
man in the vicinity to protect pedes-
TRANS.
If Jack the Hugger" is caught by
the men of the street he may be pun
ished without calling in the police.

CONSTABLE MURDERED.
Came to Rescue of Woman Assaulted by
Italians and Was Stabbed to Death.

READING. Pa, Sept. 16.-State Con-
stable Timothy K~elleher, a member Of
Troop C of the State constabulary, sta
toned across the river from this city,
was killed here Saturday night by
Italians while he was coming t. the
aid of a woman whom the Italians
were attempting to assault.
Kelleher had been to a theatre and
was returning to the barracks in Cumru
Township by the Spruce street bridge.
He had just crossed the bridge when he
heard a woman's shrieks for help.
Running in the direction of the sound,
he came upon two Italians brutally as
saulting their victim in the shadow of
an abandoned wood pulp mill. Kelleher
was armed only with a pocket billy.
Before he had pulled this from his
pocket the Italians were upon him with
stilettos. The constable tried to fight
with his fists. but with n of the men
in front and another behind him, he
soon fell, stiletto wounds all over his
body.
