Had LAUGH on Doctor.

An anecdote of Leo. XIII. is recall
ed in Turin journal by Count CHS
polti, apropos of the death Of DR..
Lapponi, who was the pope's private
physician. One day it was impera-
tive for Leo to give long audience,
but he had bad cold, and to miti-
gate it the doctor gave him a box
of tablets with the request to take
one every now and then. After a
willie Lapponi, who remained in a
distant corner of the hail. noticed
that the pope did not follow his d.
rections, so to call his attention to
them, he began to hem and cough
Presently the pope said to an at
tendant: Tell the doctor to come
to me-" These. words caused some
anxiety, but when Lapponi fastened
to his side, the pope took the medi-
cine from his pocket and handing the
box to him, said: Doctor, noticed
you were hoarse; won't you take
some of these tablets?"

same as he recently issued relative to the
opening Of saloons in Omaha. His act has
been construed as a defy TO the Slocumb

such an act except by order from the
democratic strategy board at Lincoln or

Former County Attorney Slabaugh and
his deputy. F. A. Shotwell. have made APP
plication to the county board to be APP
pointed special attorneys for the county
to collect money under the inheritance tax
law.
Judge Slabaugh was before the county
commissioners Saturday. He said In order
that the county might get all that Is coming
to 1t under the law a special attorney
should be employed to devote more time
to 1t than the county attorneys force
could do. He proposed that the compensa-
ton should be based on the amount OF
money received by the county, which
otherwise would have escaped. He cited
an instance of a large estate which. It is
claimed. has been appraised too low. In
order to secure a reappraisement II would
be necessary to go into litigation that
might take some time. The commissioners
deferred action until a future meeting.
The commissioners rejected the bids on
bread for the county hospital which were
accepted a week ago. u. H. Reeder, the
successful bidder, filed a certified check fol
$40 instead of SIS as required and 1t was
decided to readvertise. His price was 21l

Tbeater Nan, Though Establishing Bis
Innocence, iu Still Prisoner at Ear,
QUEER STORY or TWO MISSING RINGS
VaIuahIes Lost while Company L. at
Tulsa and stage Carpenter IL
Accused of Taking
Them.

Harry Mckee. stage carpenter for the
Little Joker company, occupies the anoma-
lous position OF being a prisoner at bar,
who has, to the satisfaction of the off,
clals, completely established his innocence
OF the charge preferred against him.
He is being held by the United States
authorities In Omaha on complaint sworn
out at Tulsa, Indian Territory, charging
him with appropriating a couple of rings
belonging to one Bessie Shaw of that place.
The evidence is very strong that Mckee
is wholly innocent Of the charge
The company was playing at Tulsa the
night of January 4. The statement is made
by Lewis G. Christy, one Of the troupe,
that just before the performance began at
Tulsa a plano. the property of the Tulsa
theater, being used in one of the scenes,
was opened by the property man Of the
theater. and two rings, one a diamond and
the other an opal ring. were found lying
on the keys. The property man handed
them to Mr.. Christy, presuming that they
belonged to some Of the women of the
troupe. After the performance and as the
company was aboard the car enroute to
Oklahoma City, where 1t was to give its
next performance, Mr.. Christy asked II any
of the women of the troupe had lost their
rings. None OF them reported having lost
any, and IL was not until the arrival of
the troupe in Omaha that anything more
was heard Of the matter.
Warrant II Served.
This came about when a warrant was
| served on Mckee at the Boyd theater Fri
day afternoon, charging him with the theft
of the rings, the warrant being served by
Deputy Marshals Mathews and Moore.
Mckee was taken before United States
Commissioner Anderson Friday evening and
stoutly denied any knowledge Of the rings
and expressed his willingness to go back
70 Tulsa at once and face his accusers.
The case was continued until Saturday
morning, when the story of the rings was
was turned over without hesitancy to the
United States authorities. This was a chip
diamond ring, of half carat value while
the other and less valuable opal ring could
not be found for the moment il having
been placed in Mr.. Christy's trunk. Mr..
Christy said he had the ring. but was
unable to find 1t in time for the morning
hearing before Commissioner Anderson
Mckee, victim OF the charge of theft es-
tabllshed his innocence of the charge COM
pletely, but the complaint lies against
him personally he will have to be held
until he is relieved of the charge by the
Tulsa accusers. In the meanwhile he was
