Jealous Lover
Loved SO Hard
He Gets in Jail
Becomes Too Ardent in His Desire
to Eliminate a Rival
Suitor.

As the result Of a slight indiscretion in
trying to get rid Of a rival sJiter for his
lady's hand, William A. Stewart has been
given a thirty day setback in his love
making by Police Judge Crawford.
Stewart made the u-naccountable mistake
OF leaving the field for a short time re-
Gently and when he returned the running.
he found that another man had assumed
the pedestal from which he had descended.
He made bold to call upon Miss Bessie Nc
Kenzie, the lucky girl, at her papa's DOM
icile, 1911 Cass street. But when he
reached the house. Tuesday night every
thing, including the watch dog. was locked
up, although 1t was only 2 a. m. and the
moon was still ready for business.
Remarking upon the inexplicable nature
of wpmankind, he gently aroused the
household by jabbing his massive fist
through about three panels of the front
door. When he was admitted, he was SO
glad to see Miss Bessie that he caressed
her too ardently and the police surgeon
had to be called to repair the damage.
Stewart tried to square things with some
real nice acting in police court Wednes-
day, but the judge thought the woman
needed a month in which to recover from
his protestations of affection, so gave Will
liam that much time In jail.

Two Fireproof

Sunderland Bros. will erect practically
two new plants for their coal and material
business, replacing the one which burned
at Twenty-fourth and Belt line and also
erecting a new plant near Forty-first and
lizard streets, where the Cotton pond" has
been filled.
Grading has been completed on the Cot
ton pond property and plans are being
made for erecting a fireproof building and
arranging the yards in the most convenient
way possible.
The plant, to replace the one burned, will
also be fireproof, as far as possible.
Fireproof yards are a difficult PROPOSE
ton. but with the concrete construction,
even a lumber yard is made almost fire
proof. Such a building has recently beer
completed by c. w. Hull at South Twenty.

which could start in the yard would be
for a pile Of lumber in one section to catch
fire, but 1t could burn without destroying
other piles.

OMAHA ENGINEER MISSING IN
MEXICO, SAYS HIS BROTHER
Arthur Montmorcncy, Graduate of
High school I'm 1901, UnRc-
countnbly Disappears.

If the fears OF an anxious brother are
we'll grounded, Arthur Montmorency, a
young man who left his home in Omaha
ten years ago to become an engineer and
contractor OF Vera Cruz, Mexico, may have
been lost in Mexico during the last week.
His brother. Fred Montmorency, who u
assistant general freight agent of the Bur

telegram several days ago from friends in
Mexico. which states that his brother left
Vera Cruz on May . to go to Cordova. but
had not been heard from since that time.
Nc more news has been received by Mr..
Montmorency.
Arthur Montmorency was graduated from
the Omaha High school in 1891 and then

Second Trade
Tour Into Iowa
May Be Taken
Such a Plan is Contemplated Because
of the Success Attending
the First.

So successful was the Iowa trade ex-
cursion that It Is likely the Commercial
club, Grain exchange and Live Stock ex-
change will make another trip into the
state in the early fall. going to the south
west part and over as far as Creston or
further. using the Burlington. wabash and
Great Western lines.
Within a few days the trade extension
committee will meet and consider this ac-
ton. II is the plan TO work more sys-
tematically in the future and when the ex-
cursionists start out TO visit in a state,
stay in the state until it Is well covered.
Little by little Omaha is pushing into
Iowa, now shipping over 600 miles east be-
fore Chicago can successfully compete
with the Omaha wholesalers when 1t comes
to making prices. Recent rulings of the
Interstate Commerce commission have
given Omaha a great advantage in shipping
into Iowa. The case known as the dressed
beef case was one which made It pos
sible for Omaha to take a big slice of ter
ritory.
with the outgoing rates more favorable,
the incoming rates are now better and
more live stock and grain are coming to
Omaha from Iowa than ever before.
with over 1900 miles Of railway serving
Omaha directly It is a hard matter for the
business men to determine Just what lines
to take out. It would mean twenty-one
thousand-mile trips 20 cover all the ter
ritory. and a 1,OoO-mile trip takes about a
week when made In Nebraska or Iowa.

quent messages to the city council
He sent his first message to the new
council Tuesday night. though he has been
mayor for three years. but II was received
80 wen and his follower have been so
profuse in their congratulations that he has
decided to send the council messages at
nearly every meeting in the future.

not by a good deal-and the council Will
know duting the next year or two that this
city has a mayor with eyes wide open
which see everything that Is being done or
ought to be dore."
The mayor is still sore at the four
democrats who went into the deal" to
elect a republican president Of the council
and democratic leaders already class the
four with the republicans and announce
that they, with the republicans, will con-
troll the council. and that, therefore, every
thing is lost to the democrats. Joe Butler,
"uncrowned king of the Eighth ward, and
leader among Ire Jimocrats, says:
'Funkhouser. Brucker, Johnson and
Sheldon have gone over TO the enemy. body
and soul. and they, with three republican
councilmen-Berka, Burmester and Hum
mei-will be known as the big seven. They
will work together through thick and thin,
and I see little hope of getting any demo-
cratic appointees confirmed"
Lack of friction at the first meeting OF
the new council has not eased the mind of
Mayor Dahlman, and he forecasts a fight
when his appointments will go TO the coun-
Gil for confirmation. The mayor says he
will insist that the men he picks out be
confirmed and he proposes to be at the
next meeting in person,
Seekers after political jobs have about
concluded that the mayor has made up his
mind as to whom he will appoint and he is
not besieged with as many callers as a
few days ago.

Mrs. Pratt Loses
Suit for Money
Fails to Secure Enforcement of Ante
Nuptial Contract Giving Her
Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Mrs. Julia Montgomery Pratt is the loser
by the decision OF Judge Estelle in dis
trict court Wednesday morning.
The court held for Colonel Pratt and re-
fused to set aside the deeds he had given
of property to his daughters and to en-
force the ante-nuptial contract as prayed
by Mrs. Pratt.
Judge Estelle's decision was brief. He
declared that the contract did not "onsti-
tute a lien on Colonel Pratt's real estate
and was simply TO pay money in the event
of certain happenings.
The court contented himself with ruling
on the law as involved on this point. With
regard to the contention of the defense
that Mrs. Pratt had nullified the contract
by falling to behave as a dutiful wife, the
Judge said HI did not care TO give an
opinion and that 1t was immaterial with
the case ruled on as to tho lien.
H.. c. Bronze and ID. M. B. vinsonhalcr,
Mrs. Pratts attorneys, announce that they
will take the case to the supreme court
where the suit for divorce now is.

SIean.N

Afte- having a merry sojourn in Omaha
all winter and spring, interrupted by oc-
casional terms In jail and frequent but
futile attempts on the part of the police
to deport him to Council Bluffs or South
Omaha, John Honk, a hobo C%hinaman, has
been granted the dream Of his life by
Police Judge Crawford.
Instead of being expelled from jail at the
end Of a five or ten-day sentence, or forced
to ride In street cars over the Missouri
river. when he would rather walk and just
hates the sight of water. he will be at
home and at leisure at the county jail for
the next three months.
The judge sentenced Honk Wednesday,
and the Chinaman left the police court
throne of justice with a broad smile that
was only marred by deep-seated fear OF
having to take a bath as the initial treat
ment at Sheriff Brailey's sanitarium.

OMAHA, Neb., May 2o.-To the Editor
of the Bee-I nave been very much in
terested in the articles in the Bee from
Mr.. Wattles and the information he has
given out as to the history of street rail-
ways in Omaha. For more than twenty
years / have Travelled extensively in this
country and have been a careful observer
Of transportation matters. IN account of
impaired health I was obliged to give up
my work and with my wife took a leisurely
trip around the world, returning about a
year ago. From my observation and eX-
p]erience both in this country and abroad, I
am prepared to say that Omaha now has
equal, If not superior, street car service
to any to be found in any country as to
comfortable cars, frequency of service,
rapidity of transportation, transfers from
one line to another and, considering all
the conditions, gets as much or more for
the money paid. If any one doubts this,
a trip such as we took will convince them
of the truth.
The street car service of Honolulu. which
has been developed under the direction of
Colonel c. II. Atherton, compares quite
favorably with ours. They use only open

Contest of Orators at Creighton Audi
forum on the Evening
of June 4.

The mystery Of the letters which have
appeared in the halls of the Omaha High
school from day to day for the last two
weeks has at last been explained. Each
morning on entering school the pupils were
confronted by a single letter posted in the
halls and rooms throughout the building.
This letter was changed each day. Their
appearance aroused a great deal of inter
est and there was much speculation as to
their meaning. Monday all the letters
which had appeared were posted together
and then it was discovered. when COM
bined, they spelled the word Chicago
The reason that they had not discovered
this before was due TO the fact that the
letters had been so arranged as to spell
the word Chicago" backward.
The purpose was to arouse interest in the
coming debate with the Englewood High
school, Chicago, ILL.,, which takes place
Friday night, June 4, in Creighton audi
forum. This is arousing more interest
than any other event of this school year.
Twice in the past has Omaha debated
with Chicago. In 1903, a team representing
the school journeyed to Chicago and was
defeated. The following year the Chicago
boys came to Omaha, and won by a close
decision.
This year the Omaha team hopes to get
even for the two defeats of the past. The
local school will be represented by viii

some woman invented both ice cream
and matrimony for men for genera

the boy will find himself face TO face

OF their coats have vertical stripes
