Police Find Child
Hidden Under Bed

Although the neighborhood about
Seventeenth and Leavenworth streets was
in a turmoil on her account. 2-year-old
Claire Decker, imprisoned by bedclothes
beneath bed I'm a flat at 1701 Leaven-
worth, slept soundly through 1t all. Po-
lice Officer L. s. Thrasher found her by
accident.
The little girls father hid her there,

BOA CRAZE
"CENTERED" HERE
Dresher Brothers Still Making
New Feather Boas Out of
Old Discarded
Feathers.
Women Demand the Boas (And
Beaux, Too,) and Are
Eager to Follow
the Fashion.

Dresher Brothers, the Dry Clean
ers and Dyers with the $57 900 plant
at 2211-2213 Farnam St., are as
much responsible for the present
feather boa craze in Omaha as any
body.
You see it was this way; the mo-
ment Dreshers heard that feather
boas we're quite the caper in the
east they thought to themselves that
tons of old feathers were laying
about Omaha homes; feathers that
might as well be made up into new
feather boas as to meet with an in
glorious ending in the rag bag.
SO Dreshers took some old feath-
ers; cleaned them, dyed them. trim
med them, made them up into boas
and found that their own product
was even superior to the feather
boas of the shops.
Dresher Immediately advertised to
let the well dressed ladies know OF
their abilities in this direction and
the result is that the Dresher plume
and feather department has been
working early and late to satisfy the
demand for feather boas. because
the prospective wearers knew that
feather boas made from old feathers
would cost vastly less than new
boas purchased at the stores.
Let this be tip to you IL you have
some old feathers and care for a
really becoming style. A feather boa
touches off a woman's throat very
charmingly.
Dreshers maintain a special Plume
and Feather Dept and do all of the
required cleaning. curling and dye
ing.

Railroad Passenger Men Express
Opinions on Robbery Of Tour
lists in Yellowstone Park.
WILL NOT 1NJURE BUSINESS

Omaha railroad men who represent
lines operating up &c the gateways OF
the Yellowstone National park are of the
opinion that the ROBBERY Of thirty-five
tourists In the park Friday by bandits
will increase the business rather than
cut it down during the remainder of the
season. Said General Passenger Agent
wakeley OF the Burlington:
This robbery makes me feel ashamed
Of the bandit profession. II ,onvinces me
that the highwayinan. of whom we have
formed ouch an exalted opinion and who
in the yellow covered novels has been
made hero, hos now Joined the ranks
of the common foot pad
More Like Pikers.
The men who robbed the stages Fri
day exhibited no bravery, or daring.
They simply neld up and robbed unarmed
and helpless women, The act did not
, show any more dartng that It would TO
rob child Of Its candy, out on some of

the park are not allowed to carry arms
for protection and I don't suppose that
the men and women on these stages car
ried any weapons except pocket knives
and hat pins
The robbery will not hurt the business
Instead l fancy that 1t will encourage It,
People are of an inquisitive turn Of mind

Assistant General Passenger Agent
Murray of the Union Pacific said:
Il fancy that this robbery will be an
eye opener to the government. 1t ought
to result in increasing the number OF
guards and possibly the issuance OF an
order permitting tourists TO carry at
least revolvers for self-protection.
While the passengers Of twelve stages
have been robbed. that does not mean
\ that robberies are to become frequent
venture to say that even IL the
| government does nothing to increase the
police protection in the park it may be
years before there will be another holdup;
! perhaps there will never be another.
Seems to me this robbery Is about
the best advertisement the park ever
got. 1t will be heralded all over the
