Searches for
His Benefactor
Stranger Run Over and Given Start
in Life Eighteen Years Ago
Looks for Angel"

Eighteen years after he left Omaha a
stranger was making a thorough search OF
the city Wednesday to find his benefactor.
He was looking for some doctor whose
name he did not know, but whom he said
he understood was now running a drug
store.
The story the stranger told was that
about eighteen years ago when he was a
small boy in Omaha he and some COM
panions were out on a watermelon stealing
expendition in East Omaha and on their
return as they were crossing Sixteenth
street with their melons the doctor ran
over the boy and broke his leg. He said the
doctor was driving a fast team of horses,
but he had forgotten his name.
That doctor gave me a start in life and
now l have returned TO Omaha on purpose
to thank him." said the stranger. who re-
fused to tell him name. After the doctor
had run over me and broken my leg he
did everything in his power TO repair the
injury. He sent me to the hospital, looked
after my case himself, paid all my ex-
penses and when-I was we'll gave me $500
with which to make a start. I have made
good and have now returned to show the
doctor l appreciate his kindness"

NAVY NOT PLACE FOR BOYS
OF DEFICIENT CHARACTER
Recruiting Omcer Defends the serv-
ice Against Such an linz
putntIOn.

My attention has been called TO a Des
Moines dispatch in The Bee stating that a
boy has been indicted for forgery in that
city and sentenced to enlist in the navy
or go to the reformatory. This action on
the part of the Des Moines authorities is
a gross and nncalled for insult to the men
who wear the uniform OF the United States
service said Lieutenant P. 3. DUNCAN,
In charge Of the local navy recruiting sta
ton.
THE greatest possible care is exercised
in enlisting recruits for the navy and
where any doubt exists as TO a mans
character and moral qualifications he is
rejected.
'Of course. no matter how strict the ex-
animation. in any large body OF men a few
u~ndesirables are bound to Green in. but
they are not wanted in the navy and as
soon as their deficiencies are observed they
are eliminated without delay,
"A boy with the record Of this one would
not be enlisted, or the question even con-
sidered for an instant.
Anyone familiar with the navy would
not be misled by this item, but for the
benefit Of those who are not. and i'm jus
tice to the men who wear Uncle Sans
uniform, il is but fair that the impression
created by reading such an item be cor
reeted.'

Breen Talks to
Fontanelles-Al
in Trim to Win
Harmony and Victory the Sentiments
Urged at Meeting of Republicans
Candidates Attend.

Inc regular meeting OF the Fontanelle
cIub' which was held Sunday at the
cruz rooms. was in the nature Of a rsti-
tlcation meeting following the nomination
OF John P. Bteen, who was endorsed by
the club. for mayor. and the other can
uluates on the republican ticket.
Harmony and victory were the FREEDOM
inant sentiments Of the speeches and the
fact was emphasized that the republicans
or the city are now united as they have
not been In several years and that the
prospects for a republican victory at the
approaching city election are brighter than
they have been i'm a long time.
Mr.. Breen made the principal address OF
the evening. He read several kilograms
and letters which he received since the
primary election from citizens of all parties
and factions promising him their support.
and gave II as his opinion that the move
ment which resulted in his nomination is an
indication that the republicans of Omaha
are determined to make victory at the
election a sure and certain fact.
He says there is a growing restlessness
on the part of the people. They want a
change a new political environment. They
realize that three years ago they made
a mistake which they are now going to
rectify.
Victory is In the air. The gods of bat
tie and OF chance are with us. All things
are consplrin for what | deem to be the
right"

Bring Hogs to
Omaha Market
Prices Highest Now They Have Been
in Six Years and Supply
is Short.

Prices for hogs at South Omaha reached
the highest point yesterday in six years.
In 1902 a top of sS.O5 was reached. Tues
day the top price was $40 and a large
proportion Of the hogs received went above
$3.50. The receipts were only fair for Tues-
day. amounting to $500. The tendency of
the receipts seems TO be heavier and the
large decrease for the year has been cut
down to 5000, which at one time had been
10000.
Commission men are not hopeful of a
steady market at SO high a top, but look
for good prices during the rest Of the
spring and summer season.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Democratic Extravaganza Checked by
Efforts of Zimman.
LONE REPUBLICAN SAVES MONEY
Proposed Purchase of Engine House
site In Third ward and BuiId-
ina Of n storm water
sewer.

Twice during last nights session Of the
council the democrats attempted to fritte-
away the taxpayers money to the extent
OF several thousand dollars. but in both
il stances they were bake by Harry b
Zimman. the republican member from the
Third ward. Mr.. Zimman pointed out that
serious mistakes we're contemplated and by
clearly calculating the facts secured enough
votes to defeat one of the measures and to
defer definite action on the other.
The democrats first attempt to waste
money was in a move to approprite $4,000
to buy a site for . fire engine house IN
the vicinity OF Tenth or Eleventh and
Dodge streets. MIR. Zimmsn at once entered
en- objection, stating that there is plenty
OF land adjacent to the city Jail and now
owned by the city to accommodate a fire
engine house. He pointed out the fact that
in a number of cities police stations and
fire engine houses are combined. and that
under this system a saving is not only
made in the buying Of sites but in main
tenance Of the stations.
Councilman McGovern INDUCED in per-
sonalities in replying to Mr.. Zimman. and
Councilman Brucker and Johnson also
spoke in favor of buying another site. but
when Mr.. Zimman's motion to defer action
until a survey of the Jail grounds can be
made was put these three, together with
Councilmen Davis, were the only ones to
vote to buy a new site.
The new site contemplated is for fire
engine house No. 2, now located on a small
lot on the east side of Tenth street between
Farnam and Douglas streets. The jail Is
located at Eleventh and Dodge streets.
Eleven democrats voted to adopt Coun-
Gilman Brucker's resolution to extend a
storm water sewer for a distance of about
four blocks south and west from Florence
boulevard and Fowler avenue, at a cost of
over 5000. Mr.. zimman's name was the
last called, and before he voted asked out
OF what fund the cost of the sewer would
be taken, not having been at the meeting
OF the committee of the whole the day be-
fore. The records showed that the cost
would be charged against the sewer fund
and not property owners.
Mr.. Zimman then reminded the council
men that the entire sewer fund had been
appropriated and that in ordering the
Brucker sewer extension a deficit In this
fund would ensue. The democrats then
FASTENED to change their votes. and when
the roll call was announced the only one on
record az being In favor of the extension
was Mr.. Brucker.
The democrats feared that by extending
the bond of Assistant City Engineer Crick
for one year that they would keep that re-
publican offIceholder in office after cleo
ton, in the event they are successful at
the polls, and therefore instructed the
comptroller to return the bond and secure
one to terminate in six weeks time.
City Comptroller Lobeck presented the
following statement. showing the condition
Of the city's cash at the close of business
on March 81:

Number Two Hard
Wheat Not Present
Would Have Brought $1.20 Had
it Been on the Local
Market.

Grain dealers would have paid more
than sl.@ for No. . hard wheat had any
oeen offered on the Omaha market Wed
aesday. But no No. , appeared and they
paid H.17h for No. 3 hard-the highest
price ever paid on the Omaha market
tor the grade.
The market is more interesting TO deal
srs each morning as scarcely a day goes
oy that a record is not broken. Z The
No. 3 hard has brought prices up TO 81. 10.
but the price "Wednesday unarmed those
who had the grain for sale. They were
surprised that such a price should be
offered.
Wheat receipts are slightly low, the
country dealers evidently having conf
dence tina the price will advance.
