In his wife's mind at least, McCune was a "lazy, lying boozer" and often abused his wife and 9-year-old son.

Omaha Sleotrlcal Show Sure City Elec trician Mlchaelsen Is home from Chicago, where he attended the electrical show. He brings the information that the Omaha Electrical show next spring is now an assured fact. He says he received a num ber of applications for space at the Omaha show and that from all appearances now there will not be room for any exhibitors other than those who deal In electrical sup plies. Last year considerable space was taken up with exhibitors of merchandise of various sorts. The dates for the elec trical show have been set for May 8 to 15. I,ast year the show ran but six days, but it has been decided to keep it open nine days this year. Another Small-bora Crook Another con fidence game similar to the one worked on Charles Mallinson, the grober, Saturday, was pulled off successfully Monday morn ing by a man who is supposed to be the one who victimized Mallinson. Ordering two birthday cakes by telephone Monday morning from the bakery at 2406 Cuming street, the stranger had them delivered by a 14-year-old girl, Ethel Johnson, saying he would pay for them on delivery at his home, 2352 Cuming street, and instructing the baker to send change for a $20 bill with the cakes. When the girl delivered the cakes, the stranger, who gives his name as Johnson, took both cakea and money and has not been seen since. He left the girl at the door, waiting for the $20 bill. The police were notified and are making every effort to apprehend the men before more shopkeepers are robbed. The Connor will case is post iwinetl to March 1, to awult the return of Bishop Scannell. At 2 o'clock Monday afternoon Judge lieslie announced a derision granting the continuance. He was willing to allow the attorneys' the alternative of nun-t ing us to what Bishop IScanncll will testify to when he returns, but the counsel were apparently not able to agree. C. J. Smyth stuted that they expected to have the dt'ioaltlon of Bishop 8cannell taken while he is In Ire land, and thus shorten he delay. Attorney Kngllsh, for tho heirs. Insisted that If a continuance were taken Tt should be until the bishop Is ablo to appear In person, and Judgo Leslie expressed a willingness to grant further time. If necessary. So tho continuance goes, the dale f further hear ing depending on the movements of Bishop Scannell. When the case came up before Judge Leslie of the county court Monday morning. Attorney Smyth, for the trus tees, give the case a new twist by a mo tion to postpone the hearing until the first of March with the purpose of securing the testimony of Bishop Richard Bi-annel upon a vital point. Attorney English for the heirs, stoutly resisted, and Judge Leslie took the motion under advisement until the afternoon. Says Bishops Will Deny It. Smyth declared In making his motion thai Bishop Scannell will testify th:it Con nor never swore at him and that the oc casion when Connor did get angry at him was several years ago, long previous to the drawing of the will, May 15, last year. The point Is regarded as most Important. If, as several witnesses have declared, Connor showed anger at the bishop subse quent to the drawing of the will tho in ference that he destroyed the document gaina strength, It was admitted by Attor ney B. P. Smith in arguing tho motion, ho going on to say that the court ought to hear testimony which will show the con traiy. "Bishop Scannell knew what the evidence would show," declared' Attorney English, "for I sent for him and told him about It In my own office. If he, who Is the party principally Interested In tho probating ot the alleged will, choso to go away know ing this, it seems to me that the attorneys for the proponents are asking a good deal. In fact, the bishop said to me that he was going to Rome and we could fight the thing out among ousclves. I had told him what bearing this case would develop and told him specifically what would appear. There Is every reason to believe and I don't think counsel for the other side will deny that Bishop Scannell told them the substance, of my conversation with them." Smith Deprecates Allusion. Attorney Smith next arose and deprecated the allusion to the bishop as being the per son chiefly Interested. The bishop Is the chairman pf the board ot trustees named by Connor to administer the $100,000 be queathed for parochial schools. Smith went on to reflect on the testimony which estab lished the conversation as being after the drawing of the will saying, "We could not know that the data would be so nicely put." --' Argument over tho motion was the prin cipal business of the morning session. Pending Judge Leslie's -ruling the respon dents began the Introduction bf evidence. A good lead of the testimony for the heirs has not already been brought out by tho wi nesscs called by the lawyers for the trustees. Captain Mostyn was first called and told of searching vainly for the will after Connor's death. Mrs. D. J. Lamb had been called again as the last witness for the proponents. One question asked her was about the age of her aon, Vincent. The witness could not remember the year of birth at tho time, partly was because she was temporarily confused. Her own explanation was: "Well, I have five or six children and I can't always tell exactly." Topplelon avenue, and hcn St. refer was artolsned In police court Monday morning, a number of witnesses. Including the little girls and Fred Schatnel of tho city treas urer's office, apprsred to testify against the man. Judge Crawford gave him tho extreme penalty, as this is the second time he has been arrested on the same charge. W. S. BALDUFF IN BANKRUPTCY Veteran Caterer Admits to C reditors lie la t nable to Meet Ilia Obllaatlone. William S. Balduff, for twenty years a confectioner and caterer, with an exten sive establishment at ir20 Farnam street, was forced Into bankruptcy by creditors having claims rf $1,398.08, Monday, the petition being filed in t'nlted States dis trict court. Judge Munger nt once ap pointed Grant 8. Cobb, mannger of the establishment, receiver. Mr. Cobb at once furnished bond for $7,500, the amount re quired by the court. The creditors filing the petition through their attorney, I It. Gradly, are Eggerss O'Flynn company, box manufacturers and printers; the Omaha Towel Supply com pany, and William I Masterman, dealer in tens and coffee. Attached to the petition was a letter addressed to tho three creditors written by W. S. Bnlduff and dated January 31, In which he says: However much I regret the necessity rf my doing so, I take this means of Inform ing you that I am unable to pay my debts and therefore willing. If so desired by my creditors, tm be adjudged a bankrupt on that ground. W. S. BALDLFF. The creditors separately have the follow ing claims against the Balduff house, all being contracted during 1908 and the first month nf 1909. Eggerss-O'Flyng company, $1,085; W. L. Masterman, $250, and the Omaha Towel Supply company, $63.06. Mr. Cobb took charge of the business sa soon as his bond was filed at norm and the business will continue uninterrupted. As a reason for the failure, Mr. Cobb said: "Withdrawing money from his business for outsido Investment was the direct causo of the inability of Mr. Balduff beinfc unablo to secure ready money with which to meet the demands of creditors. The business is a paying one. The new lunch counter rpened last fall is feeding ten times as many peopla dally as we formerly accomodated and there Is no loss In any department which would reflect In any way on business conditions in Omaha." The bankruptcy proceedings will In no way effect the business of the Balduff Pure Candy company, a corporation, the stock in which Is held by some of the most prominent business men in Omaha. . r' in-" .

MORE LAND F0RSIGNAL POST Greater Area Is First Thing !V ceded to Expand the Reservation at Omaha. "While the department Is gratified to see the determination of the War department to materially enlarge Fort Omaha as u signal post," said an officer high In au thority at Department of the Missouri headquarters, "the first essential toward securing this result will be the necessary acquisition of more land for the reserva tion. There is but eighty acres In the res ervation now, and with the building al ready erected, the parade grounds and use of so much space for the balloon plant, and buildings under process of erection with others contemplated, about all the available land of the reservation Is now utilised. "The only available land now In the vlcin ity of the post la a tract of about 100 acres northwest of the present reservation. With the acquisition of this tract, Fort Omaha can be made all that the Signal corps de partment could desire or need. This new land acquirement would probably cause u change In the present location of Die bal loon house and hydrogen plant to a more convenient part of ttie grounds." TRAIN FIFTY HOURS LATE Pnaaenarcra on Great Western Tell of Snow Drlfta Thousand Feet I.oiik Which They Met. Fifty hours late the first Great Western train to get through Iowa since the storm, arrived In Omaha Sunday night at 9 o'clock. This was the first train to get through from Chicago or St. Paul, as the Great Western was tho hardest hit of any of the Iowa lines by the storm which raged Thursday night and Friday. Some thrilling experiences were related by the belated travelers as they alighted from the train. Aa "mother passenger train which they saw later was pulling Into a blind siding near Clarkscllle a box car was blown across the track. The engine hit the car and demolished It, but the en gine was put out of commission by the collision. The train was a daylight train, with nj sleepers, and the collision broke the steam connection, so that the pas sengers were forced to remain In the cars with no heat for nine hours. "I never saw a bunch of people in a hard plight take their medicine bj good naturedly," said one of the passengers of the train who arrived In Omaha Monday morning. "We "played foot ball and ran endurance races up and down the aisles and did everything else the minds of cold peo ple could contrive to keep warm." The worst blockade on the Great West ern was at a cut near Carroll, where the snow drifted twelve .feet deep and 1.000 feet long. It was absolutely " impossible for threo engines to penetrate or force their way through the drift. In several places the snow was dug out of cuts, where It was as deep as the height of the coaches. The wires were down, which made It worse, as it was hard to get help to the stalled trains. There were deep drifts at Manning. Carroll and Harlan. Tho only train which was very late Mon day morning was the Mtlwaukee Overland limited. It was about five hours late. Few of the other trains were more than half an hour late.

OMAIl.VS LEADING CLOTHIERH I LAST t FROM NEW YORK WORLD, APRIL 8, '08.1 TWO MONTHS ENJOYED LIVING FOR FIRST TIME The following statement was made by- Mr. S. J. Simpson on Thursday afternoon In connection with the Cooper preparations, which have created a sensation throughout the West and now being widely discussed In New Tork. Mr. Simpson, who lives at No. 979 Presi dent street, Brooklyn, said: "According to my experience, this man Cooper Is Justified In his claims that his medicine will actually put the stomach In good condition. 1 have had chronic stom ach trouble for several years paBt. My stomach seemed to give out completely In August, 1906, and J have been able to eat nothing Blnce. "I have not taken the slighest enjoyment In living, I have been so depressed by my condition. Neither physician nor medicine helped me, and It was only by the most careful diet that I was able to retain any food whatever. For the past seven months I have not eaten a particle of meat. In the most skeptical frame of mind possible 1 called to see Mr. Cooper about two mmths ago, while he was In Brooklyn. I had not the smallest hope his medicine would help me, aa I had given up hope during the past year. I obtained some of the medicine and began its use. Today I am apparently as well as ever. I obtained relief so rapidly that it Is positively wonderful. 1 am in good spirits, eat heartily, sleep well and am better In every way. I am convinced that the success this man is having In New York Is richly deserved." In a short Interview Mr. Codper said: "t have been In New York a little less than two months. So far as I can judge there are now fifty thousand people, taking my preparation does. 1 expect to fully prova not less than one hundred thousand, as the number Is Increasing very rapidly and peo ple are Just beginning to learn what my preparation does, t expert to fully pru'e before I leave New York the claim I mail i when I arrived, namely that stomach trn i blo Is the great curse of the MHh century among highly' civilized races and that It Is responsible for ninety per cent of a'.l Ill health. "My medicine does nothing but rcgjUt the stomach, yet I have people lotne lo me daily and tell me that It hm relieve.) them of many and various ailments n it generally recognized as due to stonntcli trouble. "It Is easy enough to veilfy this slat ment. An hour spent In listening to whit people who call to see me are saying, who obtained my medicine some time ago, will prove what I say beyond a doubt. Cooper's New Discovery Is the mejl clne which made such a wonderful recurd In New York. It Is on Bale at leading drug gists' everywhere. Should your drugg'sL not have It notify The Cooper Medicine Co., Dayton, Ohio. STORM CAME AT WORST TIME lilt Poor When Rent Was Dot and Charity Necessary to Avoid Ejection.
