VICTIMS LOOKING FOR CROOK
south Omaha Commission Mon Are
Trying to Find the Check
FOrUeF.

The South Omaha police are looking for
the crook under the name of ]. D.. Raymond
who succeeded in passing a worthless check
on the Lewis Bros commission firm
Wednesday. Raymond is an alias and the
amount of the check was $50.
Raymond, a we'll dressed stranger, APP
peared on the market and bought several
billed out to a western destination. He
gave as reference a Denver bank and was
to appear soon after noon to write out his
draft. In the meantime the commission
firm asked his reference and he sent a
telegram asking for a recommendation. In
a short time a fake message arrived from
Denver saying Raymond was q. X" Then
he said he had an item of business in
Omaha which must have attention. He dis
covered suddenly that he had only his
check book handy. He said:
Il wonder how l can get aNcheck In
Denver cashed here. My cash is on deposit
at the hotel vault in Omaha"
Lewis Immediately cashed the check for
SEQ, but the man disappeared and did not
return with the draft for the cattle, which
was the first intimation Of a crooked deal.
Another telegram to Denver showed that
no such man as Raymond had an account
in the bank.
1t is said that the stranger started west
early Thursday morning. He may be in
tercepted enroute.

COST OF PRIMARY TO CITY
Twelve Hundred Dollars TO Nominate
water BOcrd and Board of
Education.

The recent primary election will, ac-
cording to present estimates, cost the city
about $1,000 for nominating candidates for
the Board of Education and the water
board. The expense will be divided be-
tween the two boards, probably In equal
shares. The total bill includes about $500
for special police officers stationed at the
voting booths, $50 for ballots and about $335
for other stationery. and $500 as a share OF
the pay given election judges. The cost
to the county will very greatly exceed this
and cannot be determined or even esti-
mated as yet because the canvassing board,
at a cost Of about SO a day, is stil busy
counting votes.

time he was presented with a loving cup.

Business Men Protest.

F. II, Davis, vice president of the First
National bank, said: 1T seems to me the
action of the Western Passenger a~ssocia-
ton is very unfortunate and very unfair
after giving Lincoln rates to the state
fair"
c. c. George of George &c Co.: THE ac-
ton Of the Western Passenger associa-
ton is an unwarranted discrimination
against Omaha"
Mayor James c. Dahlmau: II was sur
prised to hear that the railroads had turned
Omaha down. 1t is a short-sighted policy
and one they will nave cause to regret"
J. II. Dumont of ]. II. Dumont & Son:
Don't understand the position Of the rail-
roads at all. The Ak-Sar-Ben festival is
certainly Of sufficient size to justify the
railroads in making special rates and fail
ure to do so shows an unfair spirit which
l cannot understand
Edgar Allen, chairman Of the transporta-
ton committee Of the Commercial club:
IF It is true the board of governors has
been turned down by the railroads 1t GER
talnly does not look like very good treat
ment to give Omaha"
Victor b. Caldwell, vice president Of the
United States National bank: "As a mem
Der of the board of governors l do not
think criticism should be passed on the
railroads. The governors will take the
matter up and make 1t plain that we must
have the rates and we will probably get
them"

RAILROADS AROUSE SOME IRE
Bring Down Wrath of ouivera for
Denying Rates to Ak-Sar-Ben.
ACTION GENERALLY CONDEMNED
Business Men Cannot See the JUS
tice of IL and Regard II as n
short-sighted Policy for
Railways.

samson's crew. which means the business
men Of Omaha almost without an excep.
ton, awoke Thursday morning indignant
enough at the railroads to mutiny and feel
ing that they had been betrayed by passen-
ger agents on board, who had promised
fidelity and loyalty to King Ak-Sar-Ben.
The news that the Western Passenger
association had declined to make rates to
Omaha for the fall festival Of Ak-sar-Ben
spread rapidly. but was such a surprise
that many business men would not believe
the passenger association had taken such
an action and members of the board of
governors refused to be quoted, saying that
they thought the rate matter could be ad-
justed and that reduced rates to Omaha
would yet be secured.
The gloom, however, continued through
the day with but one bright ray, when
Sam North, district passenger agent of the
Illinois Central, announced that his line
would run a special train to Omaha for
Taft day. or the day on which the big
parade will be given, and that a rate of one
and one-half fare for the round trip was to
he advertised at once.
This train will start from Fort Dodge and
arrive in Omaha at II o'clock noon. 1t will
return after the parade in the evening,
The rate will be from all stations between
Fort Dodge and Omaha.
Great Western Makes Rates.
The Great Western has announced rates
to the fall festival from as far east as
Fort Dodge. A rate of IA cents a mile is
given, with a minimum of IS cents, tickets
good on special trains to the electric
parade.
The idea that a railroad cannot take in
dependent action and give Omaha rates Is
erroneous. The roads are bound to act
separately under the provisions Of the
Sherman antitrust law. which prohibits
any combination. The only way in which
the Western Passenger association is per-
mitted to exist Is with the understanding
that each road may act Independently.
While local officials nave no authority to
say that Omaha will have the rates, It
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
Thursday noon that the roads centering in
Omaha would give rates that the people in
the Kingdom Of Quivera could come to
Omaha on reduced rates to see the big
parades and hear William Howard Taft,
republican nominee for president.
OF the action of the Western Passenger
association, A. L. Reed, president of the
Byron Reed company, said:
ut is very hard to understand why the
railroads should turn down Omaha after
granting rates to other towns and cities
for fairs and corn palaces. l cannot be-
lieve the railroads will continue in their
refusal to give Omaha rates for Ak-Sar-
Ben"

The entire river front is cracked AMI

HOW To TELL
GOOD COFFEE.
How the Housewife Can Decide
Which Is the Best
Coffee to Buy.

Numerous tricks of the trade"
have made loose coffee buying very
uncertain and unreliable.
But with the advent of the packaee
coffee and the development of a more
discriminating taste among the Amer.
lean people change is taking place.
! The housewife is growing more par
ticular
, She not only refuses to buy her
coffee from the frequently unsanitary
coffee bin, preferring TO have it in the
more aesthetic tin, but she is also
showing u preference for the package
coffee, correctly labelled. She has
gradually been educated up to a point
where she asks for blend by name.
and in so doing is more certain OF
getting blend of coffee which is al
ways uniform and just as represented
1t is now possible to serve at your
own table the same delicious coffee
that has helped make the fame of tho
Hotel Aston This most perfect
coffee, originally blended for the ex-
elusive use of the Hotel Aston, is now
packed for family u-o in alright
tins - bean, ground or pulyerized.
Coffee sold under the name Hotel
Aston Coffee" is guaranteed to be the
same IN all respects as that served
at the Hotel Aston, New York. 1t Is
both the most delicious and most
economical coffee that any housewife
can use,
The Hotel Aston recipe for making
coffee Is in every tin and requires
less coffee than is used of lower grade
coffees, from which II Is impossible to
realize such rich smooth and
fragrant deliciousness.
Get a tin Of Hotel Aston Coffee at
your grocer's and enjoy the best eof-
fss prexurable.
