DIVE KEEPER GIVES
RICHES TO CHARITY
Woman Notorious for Years
Wills Omaha 100000.
REAL NAME UNKNOWN
Miss "Anna Wilson," Who Came az
Stage Girl to Nebraska Metropolis,
Repentant, Gave Her Resort and
Wealth to City.

Omaha, Neb.-Miss Anna Wilson'S
gift of practically 100000 to charity,
the accumulation Of 40 years profits
from the most notorious dive Omaha
has ever known, has brought out more
"reminiscences and caused more talk
than any single event in the middle
west in years. Miss Wilson was sixty
years Of age when she died few
days ago, and in her will she makes
no individual gifts, except OF a trust
fund, but leaves all that she had
saved to the city as her greatest pos
sible restitution. 1t is the second
largest gift to charity ever made by
an Omaha resident. Six months ago
Miss Wilson closed out her dive and
presented the building, with $4,000,
to the city as an emergency hospital.
Anna Wilson went to Omaha when
It was a frontier town several years
before the Union Pacific railroad was
completed in 1867. Her first appear
ance was on a music hall stage. She
was bright and pretty. Also she was
well educated. Just who she really
was has always been mystery. She
freely acknowledged that Anna VIII
son" was not her true name, but her
real identity has never been revealed.
The young girl remained on the
stage only a short time. When the
music hall went to the wall she was
without an engagement. In the emery
ency she took up with a noted
square" gambler. Dan Allen, and be-
came his common law wife. This re-

LOUIS RIEL

But Lieut.. Col. Garnet Wolseley Tia
ter famous as Lord Wolseley) march
ed against him with 1000 regulars.
Riel had no army competent to with
stand such a force. So he hed from
Fort Garry and escaped into the
United States. The Canadian gov
eminent offered a $1,000 reward for
his arrest But when. little later. he
came back to Manitoba. no one laid
hands on him. In fact, three years
afterward he was elected by his local
admirers a member of the Canadian
parliament This was too much for
even so patient government as that
OF the Dominion. Riel was not allow
ed to take his seat in parliament. But.
next year, In 1874, he was reelected.
He went to the parliament house at
Ottawa. signed his name to the rolls
and was sworn in as a member. But
when the news of this step reached
the English townsfolk of Ottawa there
was a storm of indignation and threats
that forced the half-breed "ex-presi-
dent" to fee from the city.
A Mad Prophecy.
Thence Riel moved to Montana, but
deputation of Indians and half
breeds followed and begged him to
come to Manitoba again and fight for
their rights. So back he came. he
found a dispute raging between the
natives and the English. A second
time he put himself at the head Of a
provincial government" in the north
west, captured the Duck Lake Indian
agent and others and seized Canadian
official stores. Next he thrashed a
force Of mounted police and volun-
teers sent to crush him. and 1t was
not until larger body OF troops was
hurled against him that he was de-
feated and captured. Riel was tried
for treason. His counsel made an In
sanity plea. Riel declared himself
perfectly sane and shouted:
"If you put me to death l shall rise
again!"
He was hanged November Is, 1885.
There was firece. indignation at what
was deemed the teedlessly severe &C
ton of the government in putting q
lunatic to death.

How Enoland Grows.

A great deal of interest is taken in
England in the question Of coast pro-
lection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long beach.
es Of sand and single which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs. An effort is making to prevent
or better regulate. the removal OF this
material for construction and road
building. because IN many places its
removal has permitted the sea freely
to exert its power of erosion.
The Ordinance Survey has ascer-
tanned that in the last thirty i've years
England has lost 5000 acres by sea
erosion. and gained $4,000 acres
through retaining land the existence
of which is mainly due to material

Dangerous Roads.

Now that the dangerous condition
of the road along the Wishkah river
has caused the death of two persons
it will probably be so fixed as tC
prevent a similar accident in the fu
ture. While, of course. nobody is
particular ly to blame for the accident
of last Sunday. it comes very close
to criminal negligence to leave the
public reads, running along a river
bank unguarded
Many such places are to be found
on the roads of this county. and tO
protect them is such an easy matter
that it is surprising it has not been
done long ago. There is plenty of
timber along the roads to furnish
logs that should be so placed along
the banks of the rivers as to make
the passage of a vehicle over them
impossible.

Unions and Socialism.

Labor leaders have wisely dscoun-
tenanced the introduction of party
politics into unionism, knowing that
their introduction was not only for
eign to the purposes of trades unions
but would operate to their ruin if in
dulged in. Trades unions in Ho-
quiam, however, seem to have no.
ton they know more about this thing
than Gompers, Mitchell, and every
other labor leader in the country who
is such from desire to elevate the
workman, and knows enough to ac-
complish the result sought.
The Trades and Labor Council Of
HOquiam has not only fostered the in
PRODUCTION Of party politics, but is
seemingly conducted more as a polti-
cal party than a labor organization,
and as such Is publishing a party
paper and this paper is so conduct
ed as to cast reflection upon the pa
triOtism Of every union man on Grays
HarbOr. 1t poses as sOcialistic. but
its endorsement Of Anarchist Lin
coin Steffens shows its real bias.

gal crime in which a great class OF
people was involved"
Commenting on this anarchistic re-
ply, the Hoquiam Trades and Labor
council, through its official organ,
says:
''Steffens here utters a truth, which
the enemies of the labor movement
and their hired daily press have
steadfastly refused to recognize. The
crimes committed by the McNamaras
were simply result of intolerable
economic conditions, imposed on steel
workers by their big employer, the
Steel Trust
The Structural Iron Workers Union
is the last organized body of work
ingmen left to be killed off by the
Steel Trust. That accomplished and
these workers in the most dangerous
trade in the world would be at the
mercy of the greedy group, that works
it's employees IL hours a day, seven
days week, in the Pennsylvania
steel mills. The Structural Iron
Workers had seen the police, the
courts, the militia and the federal
troops used in the service of the
steel trust, in it's work of crushing
out the organizations of the steel
workers.
"The NIcNamaras took, what they
believed to be the only course left
to save their organ. cation. They be-
lieved that no other course could be
taken in saving the members of their
organization and their families from
the terrible fate of the hundreds of
thousands of toiling slaves"
The Herald does not believe this
paper voices the sentiments of the
union men of Hoquiam. or Grays liar-
Dor, yet its going to the public. un,
der the official sanction OF the organ
ization, is taken to be such by the
average reader.
