PAREE, France, March 25.-
All Paris is terrorized today as
the result of a report that Pot
pourri Blancmange, editor of the
Tyre, was shot last night near
Paris.
A mysterious brunette, with
bright golden hair, was seen
starting for his office yesterday
heavily armed. She wore a very
sinister expression and a hobble
skirt. No paper came out this
morning, and as the Tyre is a
weekly published every Saturday
great alarm is felt.
BULLETIN LATER: 1t has de-
veloped that M. Blancmange was
only half shot.

ALLAN WOULD DO AWAY
With JAIL FEEDING GRAF 7

Jim Allan, republican candidate for
sheriff of Douglas county. is in favor Of
legislation that will do away with the
Jail feeding graft in this county which
has attracted so much attention since
McShane became sheriff. IT don't want
any of the county's money that doesn't
belong to me II 1 get the Office" said
Allan. Instead of the 5000 salary paid
the sheriff at the present time, believe
it should be raised to 5000. which is the
same salary paid the clerk of the district
court. Then ] believe the legislature
should pass a law making 1t the duty of
the county commissioners to feed the
prisoners at cost. There is no reason
for anyone making a graft out OF that
prisoner feeding. A scheme of that kind
would give the sheriff salary to which
he Is entitled and would do away once
and for all with this Jail feeding graft
that is annually putting $1,000 of the
county's money into the pocket OF Sheriff
McShane."

likely that any other charter drafted
would be defeated, we have decided to
ask the legislature for help"
Owing to the fact that the city has
managed for many years to operate Will
the Same sum of money each year the
increased expenditures has forced The
council to cut the appropriations usually
given to the police department the fire
department and the street cleaning de-

fund of $4,000 was reduced TO $l7s.5OO, tho
fire department fund of $2s0,OOO was re

The result has been that all city worl

HOTELS TURNED INTO STORES
Associated Retailers Protest Against
the Practice.
HOTEL MEN ARE TO DISCUSS IT
VIII Hold n Meeting NJ which the
Protest of the Omaha Mer-
chants viii he
Considered.

Whether or not to exclude the itinerant
merchants from the hotels of Omaha, so
far as renting rooms in which TO display
their wares is concerned. is a question
that the hotel men of Omaha expect TO
discuss at a meeting TO be held some
time next week. The question arises from
a complaint the Associated Retailers Of
Omaha have made against the practice
Of some of the hotel men OF renting large
rooms to itinerant merchants, I'm which
these merchants display their goods and
cell large quantities at retail to Omaha
customers every week Of tho year. The
contention of the local retailers is that
these men, since they pay no taxes here,
and also since they pay no license, should
not he allowed to run a temporary ''re-
tail store In the hotels" for q day or two
at a time. The local retailers maintain
that this practice, in effect. makes some
of the hotels cluster of little retail
stores all the time. and that these itiner-
ant merchants carry thousands of dollars
out of Omaha all the time to be used in
paying taxes in Chicago, New York and
other eastern cities. which they help to
build up with Omaha money.
Several Each Week.
Secretary Metcalfe Of the Retailers
association estimates that from four to
five of these itlnerant merchants each
week display their goods in Omaha IN
this way and sell to a host of customers
Before they come they circularize the
city. sending circulars to thousands OF
persons in Omaha who they have reason
to believe will be interested In theii
goods. They call attention to the fact
that they will be at a given room in a
given hotel on a certain date. The Gus
toners flock to the place. Omaha mer'
chants believe that they are entitled t
the retail business in Omaha, since they
pay taxes here and assume all the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship here.
'If fellow went out on the street and
tried to sell these shoes or other goods
from door to door," said Secretary ]. w
lMetcalfe "he would be compelled to pay
a license. but these fellows stick in 6
room and have the customers come tc
them"

President C. r. McGrew OF the lave Stock
National at South Omaha these extracts
are taken:
While the location of a reserve bank

gether probable that no, change would
have been made I'm our banking system
had II not been at the solicitation OF the

them would not have favored plan such

fects that may he disclosed.
We have had many inquiries from ban
