A man claiming to be the administrator ot the citato ot the late Charles Durkeo is reported to bo soliciting $10 subscriptions j among the working classes In Indiana for | the purpose ot raining sufficient funds to i enable him to col roc I a largo Indebtedness which lie Kays ho holds against several rail roads. Ho represents that among the ne eds of the uitato ho found $07,000,000 In mortgage bonds of the Union I'acltlc and other roads , amounting In principal and In terest to $200,000,000. Uu states that ho can ralso plenty of money from banka and syndicates , but being of a benevolent dispo sition ho Is anxious to distribute the money among the mlddlu classes , providing they will supply the slnenit of war with which ( ho hopes to collect the claims , Charles Durkee , whoso estate the man cays ho represents , was a pioneer resident of Kcnosha , Wls. Ho served six years In the United States senate , from 185G to 1801. Ho was reputed to bo worth something like 4100,000 In real estate. In 18C5 he was ap pointed governor of Utah by President An drew Johnson. After serving three or four years ho resigned on account of 111 health. Ho died In Omaha In 1870 whllo on a trip cast. Although Durkeo was In Salt Lake City during the construction of the Pacific rail roads , It Is not known that he had anything to do with the financing , the contracts , or was Interested in the Credit Moblller. In- qulry was made In Union Pacific circles con cerning the existence of the bonds men tioned by the estate's administrator , but no ono appeared to have any knowledge ot them. Alex Millar of New York , secretary to President Durt of the Union Pacific , was found. In response to a query regarding the bonds ho elated that ho does not bellevo euch a sum Is hold by the estate , as ho has mover heard the name of Senator Durkeo connected with the Union Pacific system. Ho is satisfied that If such a large block of 'bonds ' is held by ono person ho would know of it. It is believed by Union Pacinc officials to ho a sctiemo on the part of eoine suave Individual to fleece credulous laborers out of their savings and they adviiw Nebraskans - kans to bcwaro ot him should ho come this way. MONTANA. MAN GETS TUB MAP. DurlliiKtoii OfllclnlH Comply rvlth the n iiioHt of n Convict. The passenger department of a great rail road receives thousands of unique letters an nually and the queries propounded often re quire a man with a fund of knowledge equal to nn encyclopedia to answer them.

At first glance the letter was considered ( ho customary form of request , but when It /was observed more closely the Burlington tnco came to the conclusion that the writer ( was a pretty bright fellow after all.

THINKS UNION LABEL LEGAL Cltr Attorney Council K iirr iic Opinion Hint Council Actcil with Anthorltr In 1'rliitlnn Matter. City Attorney Connell Is of the opinion that the resolution recently passed by the city council that the union label shall bo stamped upon all city Job printing Is per fectly legal. Regarding the matter ho says : "Tho charter does not provide that the contract for city printing shall bo let to the 'lowest bidder , ' but to the 'lowest responsi ble bidder. ' The whole matter hinges upon the Interpretation of the term 'lowest re sponsible bidder , ' and I do not believe that the courts will question the Judgment of the council In deciding that a responsible bid der Is one who , In connection with other qualifications , pay * living wages for union hours of labor. " CAPTURtfOFA NOTED CRIMINAL Hn a Long Record of Iloliuerle * nnil Hnccennful Jail nreaki to HI * Credit. MERIDIAN , Miss. , Jan. 12. The post- office at Enterprise , Miss. , was blown open with dynamlto Monday night and the per petrator escaped after obtaining a consider able sum of stamps , money orders and cash. It Is now supposed that the robbery was committed by Thrasher Meade , one of the most desperate criminals In the country. Meade was arrested In Mobllo and brought back to Enterprise , but no * until after a desperate fight , with the officer. A largo quantity of postage stamps , blank money orders and $1,133 In cash stolen from the cafe at the Enterprise postofflco were re covered. Mcade has a criminal record that la hardly second to that of Rub * Burrows. For nearly ten years ho has Infested the railroads of Mississippi and Alabama and Is known 'to ' have been Intimately connected with a band of negro robbers In Chicago. Meade broke Into the postofflce at Ackcrman , Miss. , In the latter part of 1896 and was arrested and taken to the Jail at Aberdeen. He sawed his way out in December , 1896 , and was next heard of In Chicago. In 1897 he was arrested at Jacksonville , Fla. , and taken to Kosclusko , Miss. While there ho formed a conspiracy with trusties who were allowed outside of the cage and they over powered and choked the sheriff and escaped with six others. Meade Is known to have been Implicated In five train robberies and the Southern Express company has proof that he blew open safes in their offices at Aberdeen and Durango , Miss. , during the past year. He has escaped from twenty- one Jails and once from the Alabama penitentiary since he began his criminal career. The Postofflce department and the express companies offered large rewards for his arrest. Officers who effected his cap ture will receive several thousand dollars. Company Ank tllitht of Way. CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Jan. 12. ( Special. ) The Postal Telegraph company has com menced proceedings In the federal courts to compel the Union Pacific Railway company to allow it to build a line of telegraph be tween Denver and Cheyenne and between Cheyenne and Ogden. The Postal company alleges that while the railroad company was given the ground on either side of the railway track as a right ofway , the fee re mains -with the government. It asks to be allowed to build from Denver to Cheyenne on the cast side of the Union Pacific tracks and from Cheyenne to Ogden on the north side. The proceedings arc in the nature of an application for an alternative writ ot mandate , which Is made returnable January 31 at Salt Lake City.

"I "hope " the uniform school text book Ml introduced toy Senator Talbqt will be knocked out , " said County Superintendent Bodwell , "as otherwise it will cost the people of this state many thousands of dollars and wo will have the same trouble as they have had in Kansas. It will result In giving some school book company a monopoly and in leaving the whole matter to a commission may have the effect of necessitating a complete change In the text books. Parents and guardians could not stand anything like this if they hod to purchase the books , and certainly the state la not in a position to make a wholesale change. We expect to 'see the Kansas law repealed this winter , as it has not given sat isfaction there at all. Some such move in the Interests ot the school book companies we have been anticipating for sorao tlmo. " Cnah from Liquor Llccnne . The school district has received a total of $231,000 from liquor licenses GO far , and several thousands moro are expected.

GOES TO THEPEST HOUSE _ Tom Llnton , the Smallpox Patient ) Removed from the Crowded Flat In Which He i * Found. Arrangements have been made whereby Tom Llnton , the man who has smallpox and who resides in the flat at 1251 South Thirteenth street , Is to be removed from the crowded tenement and placed in a pest house. This building is quite Isolated , according to the statement of City Physician Spaldlng. In fact , It is said lo be farther away from any habitations than any of the cases ot the disease so far reported are or have been. An order for compulsory vaccination was Issued in the Train and Lincoln schools. Therefore all school children In three school districts in the southern part of the city In the Pacific in addition to the two men tioned must be inoculated before they can attend school. These three districts take in practically all the territory south of the Union Pacific railroad tracks to Martha street. In addition to the general vaccination orders , the Board of Health has taken other energetic steps to see that the school chil dren in this district are vaccinated * Six physicians were detailed and were at work all day in vaccinating all the children In the Train and Lincoln schools. They used about 1,000 vacctno points purchased by the city for the purpose. This work will not end here , for Health Commissioner Spalding - ing Is very seriously considering the plan of sending out physicians to vaccinate every child In the public schools of Omaha. "There are school districts in which the disease has not appeared to bo sure , " he says , " .but a now case may be discovered in any part of the city , at any tlmo. It would bo much better to have the children of that neighborhood vaccinated before the discov ery of the disease than afterward , for then the chances of a child's getting it would be greatly lessened. " The health deportment Is sending to each parochial school a copy of the same vaccina tion order that has been Issued in the public schools by Superintendent Pearse , with the request that the notices be sent to the par ents of their children. Ono day ot grace is given under these notices. The child must present a certificate of vaccination on the second day after it has been Issued or bo debarred from attending school. Horrible agony is caused by piles , bums and skin diseases. These ere immediately relieved and aulckly cured by Do Witt's Wltch-Hazel Salve. Beware of worthless imitations. MAGNIFICENT T3.A.INS.

HAYDEN BROS. BURGLARS ARE KEEPING BUSY Make n Itlch Hani nt Home of Eilvrnrd need , Securing Money nnd Trvo Valnable Gold Wntuhfu. Burglars made a good haul early Wednes day morning at the homo of Edward Reed , 2417 Plerco street. A front window was pried open with a jimmy and In ransacking the house the cracksmen found $100 in money and two valuable gold watches. Ono was worth $180. The burglars did not stop to take anything else , but made their escape , leaving no clue to their Identity. Sneak thieves entered the kitchen at the Thurston Rifles armory Wednesday night whllo those in charge were watching the dancing and stole two valuable overcoats. One belonged to J. W. Anderson , 315 North Twenty-fifth street , and the other to N. T. Ryan , 1114 Farnam street. The police wore notified , but the coats were not discovered. Wickstrom & England , grocers at 2003 Cumlng street , reported to the police the theft of three sacks of flour from the stand in front ot their store. Similar thefts from various stores about town are being re ported , but the police are unable to find the perpetrators. Flnlcy McBoth has learned from exper ience that H is unwise for people having money In their pockets to fall asleep In saloons. His nap Wednesday afternoon in Pat Moran'B bar room , Twelfth and Douglas streets , was taken at cost of $15. McBeth lives at Carson , la. Ho came to the city Monday on business. Yesterday , having nothing to do but see the sights , he made the acquaintance of a well-appear ing woman and spent a few hours in her company , drinking in Moron's bar room. McBeth fell asleep during the afternoon and j on awaking at 6 o'clock ho discovered that his money was gone. The leather purse in which ho had placed his money was still In his coat pocket , but the bank notes were missing. McBeth re. tnembered that his woman friend was dark , pretty , had curly hair and dressed In black. With this description the police are trying to find her. Bessie Glbeon , who frequents the aaloon , was arrested , but as McBeth could not tell positively whether she is the woman or not , the police did not hold her. * Light DcveraRca In England. All habitual "diners out" must have been struck with the change which has come ever society In regard to the matter ot beverages. Champagne is the popular drink , light hocks also , and both thcso are' by many persons freely diluted with Apalltaaris water. At the table d'hote of any first-class hotel it Is remarkable how many of the male guests may bo seen drinking whiskey nnd Apol- dlnarls , while the ladles often drink Apol- llnarls only. At public dinners the same change In the drinking habits ot the guests is oven more marked. There was a time , not so long ago , when at public banquets no such thing as water was to bo seen on the table , but now one of the first things the Intelli gent and careful guest looks for when he sits down to dinner Is a bottle of Apolllnaris.
