suits instituted in Louisville, Ky, by the
widow Of DR.. Frederick Rustln against
five Insurance companies.
9TH matters have left a deep scar and
the widow wishes that her young children
may have a chance to forget them. II the
cases were tried in Omaha, Mrs. Rustin
would have to appear in court, bring her
children back here where the papers would
be full of it and where her old neighbors
would be re-discussing the matter. This
is the reason it was concluded to bring suit
elsewhere"
Mrs. Rustiu's petition AYERS that her
husband died OF a gunshot wound in the
abdomen, following an operation. The
insurance companies have withheld pay

death has never been legally established.

Whisky Raids in
Valley Fizzle Out
Five Arrests Instigated by Elmer E.
Thomas and Two Cases
Promptly Dismissed.

The censor of two states, Elmer
Thomas. has had five reputable citizens
Of Valley arrested on the charge of hdv-
ing Intoxicating liquors for sale. Tie
cases Of two have already been dismissed
and against the other three there is hardly
the shadow of a case.
The first two men were John w. Foster,
a butcher, and r. NJ. Erway, a druggist.
The other three, whose cases will be heard
in a county and district court are walter
Rock. proprietor of a pool hall, Peter
Sawyer, his employe, and Oscar Ialcott'
a farmer and road overseer.
Thomas procured the arrests in char
acteristic fashion. He secured warrants
in the county court signed and sworn to
by one Charles Harrier of Valley.
Then he turned them over to Thomas
Jackson. The latter was appointed some
time ago a special deputy sheriff by
Sheriff Braily on the explicit understand
ing that he was to act solely as conscr-
vator of the peace in Valley.
When the sheriff heard Of the pro-
ceedings he promptly removed Jackson's
star.
Thdmas himself was active in the
search for liquor, which was an absolute
fizzle except in the case of Erway. At
the home of Oscar Talcott the Thomas
agent did find a pint Of whisky, bought
here in Omaha and being given in small
doses to Mrs, Talcott, who is an invalid.
At the Rock pool hall a half barrel of
tonic was seized. This particular liquor
is guaranteed as containing one-half per
cent alcohol under the pure food law in
spection.
The conduct of Jackson and Thomas in
places visited is declared to nave been
exceedingly high handed by Attorney J.
A. sullivan of Valley, who came to Omaha
representing Talcott and Sawyer. One
trick turned in the zelous search was tine
of Mrs. Anna Fouts over the pool nall.
Erway. the druggist, was fairly caught.

other side. however, that there are extcn-

was taken to Justice Byers' court, where
he asked for a change of venue TO Water
loo on the ground that the justice is pres
ident of the Valley A~nti-Saloon league.
His case was dismissed.
Rock waived examination and his case
goes to district court.
The cases Of Sawyer and TaIcott will
come up in the county court Wednesday
afternoon.

Rush is Not
Worried Over
Haskell Attack
Says Action of Federal Grand Jury in
Oklahoma Was Regular and
Will Stick.

Sylvester r. Rusn. wis as special United

Jury investigation Of Oklahoma land frauds
that resulted i'm the indictment by a fed
eral grand jury Of Governor Haskell and
other prominent oklahoma citizens. has
been attacked by Governor Haskell, who
has given out several statements. In reply
to these MIR. Rush says:
"As to charges of improper practice and
conduct made against me by the defense in
the Investigation OF the Muskogee town lot
frauds. wherein indictments were returned
against Charles n. Haskell and six other
persons, for defrauding the government and
the Creek Indians OF their lands, I have
this to say, that like the news from the
Potomac, these charges would be important,
II true: but unfortunately for the defend
ants, they are absolutely false.
Il anticipated that there would be an
unusual amount of lying about any person
who might be connected with this investi-
cation, and out of an abundance of caution
l had the United States attorney for that
district go before the grand jury and take
part in these cases and also had a special
assistant attorney to the United states at
torney, who was a shorthand reporter,
present at the Investigation, who took down
all Of the testimony and proceedings in
these cases. No comments on the facts
were made, directly or indirectly, by any
OF the attorneys for the government in the
investigation before the grand jury, and
the proceedings we're conducted with abso-
lutte fairness and impartiality; yet the de-

grand jury was made up of their constit-

when the government shows up, as it
will be able to do. the corrupt influences
and intimidation resorted to to influence
the several grand jurors to make false
statements to invslidate the indictments,
certain persons will have trouble enough
to last them a lifetime.

concerned, 1 have onthing to say. That

BERGMAN AN MIGRATE
Mayor Dshlman Sharply Criticises
His Democratic Rival.
ASSERTS HE LACKS MANHOOD
J~RcksoniRns Aroused 10 JgIy Pitch by
Party Conference Mayor Is Hold
ing Every NIEbt in the
city Hall.

Mayor Dshlman should not use his Off
cial office in the city hail as political head
quarters shouts Colonel Bergman, and
the mayor replies: Colonel Bergman Is
an migrate or he would resign the only po-
litical office he ever held, and to which
office I appointed him"
And thus the merry war goes on between
the Jacks and the Jims. the two factions
Of the local democracy in which harmony
is an unknown quantity.
The mayor called in the ward captains
and precipct lieutenants in the First. Second
and Fifth wards for a conference Tuesday
night, nearly 100 congregating in his office
in the city hall. The mayor passed the
cigars and all those present resolved tina
the name of the organization known as the
Bryan Volunteers should be changed to the
Dahlman Volunteers. '"The meeting was a
great success. - said the mayor. and he has
sent out invitations to party workers in the
other nine wards to meet him in his office
Thursday and Saturday evenings and com
plete the organization of the Volunteers.
But while the political meeting in the
mayors office was a success from the Jim
standpoint it has stirred up a veritable
hornets nest in the Jack camp and the
Bergman forces are loud in their denuncia-
tlOn OF the mayor.
1--WE are paying rent, heat and light bills
for our club rooms for headquarters pur-
poses and we object to the mayor using
his official office for campaign purposes

Jack club.

He is mayor of the entire city, not
simply of the Jims.' as you call them, and
not merely of the democrats, but of all
republicans, socialists and everybody. lie

office into a meeting place for his cam
paign committee and our club wishes to
enter vigorous protest.
He went far enough when he sent out

this using of his office is too much"

hall at Twenty-second and Cunning streets

Want to Know

work there Of Caldwell & Drake, the low
bidders for the new court house. 1t is In
Little Rock that the Columbus, Ind, firm
has had some trouble, which it asserts is
not large or significant. The commissions
ers wish to go to the scene themselves and
find out. 1t has been talked that four
members Of the board may go, but it was
stated Wednesday only one may go. The
matter of a trip of the commissioners to
Little Rock has not been absolutely de-
cided upon, but all the members OF the

Home Life.

There is no subject of greater Importance
than that OF home and Home life. Almost
everything of interest to the individual, to
the nation, and to the world is bound up
in home life. If the home life of a nation
is vicious, nor not what it should be, the
nation can never rise to an exalted posi-
ton. Home to many people is simply a
place where they eat and sleep. Home
should be a place where the father, mother
and children can enjoy themselves better
than any other place on earth. The at
tractive feature Of most homes is that
there is no Formally, no stiffness, no
forms Of etiquette TO interfere with COM
fort.

Inc Commercial club of Omaha was the

position to any reduction of the tariff on
wool, believing the interests OF the west
demanded the present arrangement Of tariff
schedules.

west produces a very small amount Of wool
which is considered so coarse and rough

Omaha Townsite
Anniversary
Claim to Land of Original City Was
Filed by Jesse Lowe
March II, 1857.

st. Patrick's day is the anniversary of
the first entry with the government land
office Tor the original townsite OF the city
of Omaha. according to IA member of the
firm OF Reed Bros. real estate dealers. 1t
is said that the claim to the land was filed
in the government and office on March
II, 1857, by Jesse Lowe, who was the first
mayor of the city.
According TO old records, Mayor Lowe
was authorized ON March Il, 1851, TO make
the entry for the city. The filing was nee
essitated by the organization of Nebraska
as a territory and this was done In order
to give the owners OF the land a title
through the government, previous titles
having been only squatters' rights.
