It removes the cause of disfiguring eruptions , loss of hair and baby
blemishes viz : The clogged , irritated , inflamed or sluggish con
dition of the pores. CUTICURA SOAP combines delicate emol-
.licn.t properties derived from CUTICURA , the great skin cure ,
with the purest of cleansing ingredients and most refreshing of
flower odors. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be
copparcd with it for preserving , purifying and beautifying the

however expensive , is to be compared with it for all the purposes
cf the toilet , bath and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP ,
at ONE PRICE namely , 25 cents the best skin and complexion
soap and the best toilet and baby soap in the world.

SURVEYORS IN TIIE FIELD1
Contemplates Building Another
Line in Western Nebraska.
MUCH DEPENDS UPON ENGINEERS' REPORT
rrnpnuefl Kstennloii to Tnp Ihe nidi

Alone thr AVontrrn llorrtcr
of tlic fltiite.
All that vast Irrigated territory In western
Nebraska lying between the Bllllne * divi
sion of the Burlington road nnd the main
Inc of the Union Pacific , and whteh 1s with
out railroad connpotion now , IB destined Bonn
to hare this barrlor to Its progress removed.
A line of road IB almost sur to be built
connecting Alliance , on the Billing * divi
sion , with BniBh on the Denver line of the
Burlington. The line will probably extend i
noutbwest from Alliance to Goring , the ]
county seat of Scotts Bluff county , then al- ,
mnFt due south to Brush on the Denver
Ine. touching at Harrlsfcurg , the county
neat of Banner county , nnd Klmball , thf
county Boat of Klmball county , and crossim ?
the Union Pacific at the latter point. .lust
where It will cross the Cheyenne division
of the Burlington is not known.
Surveys -without number have been run
through this territory In the past , but the ,
work has always stopped there. The line
mentioned will tap a rich portion of tip ,
Plntto valley , where irrigation is in a more j
complete state of development than In any
other portion of Nebraska. Large crops of ,
peed quality are produced there , but they '
ire almost valueless because of lack of <
transportation facilities. The live stock
Industry Is also Important there , nnd will
furnish a valuable source of Income to the ,
road which reaches out for the business , j
Several towns In that section of Nebraska - j
braska which have thrived for years with
out railroad facilities will take new growth
with the advent of a railroad , and of ooumr
there will be numerous new villages spring
up along the right-of-way of tlie road. The
town of Gerlng , for instance , Is one of the
oldodt communities In the "western part of
the state , and has been prosperous , not
withstanding the dlcu3vauUures under which
It labored.
TThe Burlington officials In thlE city , being
asked about the prospects of this line , said
they have a party of engineers at work In
that territory running lines approximately
as described here. They would not say
definitely that the company lias determined
upon the construction of the road , but In
ferred the decision will depend upon the
report at the engineers. They admit that
the survey IB through valuable territory
which le not touched by any railroad , and
that there are good radons why the road
should 'be ' constructed.
The building of this line would bring the
Black Hills country and Denver closer to
gether. Both being mining sections the ad-
Tantage of this ehort line is apparent. It
would also bring ; all the northwestern sec
tion of Nebraska near * to Colorado points
and tihose further west. More Important
than all , it will open up a new market for
the coal mines falong the Burlington road In
Wyoming.
VIADUCT CONSTRUCTION
Ilnllrnnd Official * Maintain that Tliv
Are WllHiiK to Do Fair Tlilntr.
Burlington and Union Pacific officials. In
de-tense of their position In tie Sixteenth
street viaduct controversy , say the plans
for the structure which they submitted to
the city are the equal in every respect to
those submitted fcy City Engineeer Rosewater -
water , except as to length and 'breadth. As
to material used In construction they allege
their plans call for as substantial a via
duct as the plane drawn by the city en
gineer. They say it has simply resolwed
itself Into a question of whether a viaduct
shall be tmllt over the tracks or over the
valley In that section of the city. AccordIng -
Ing to their statements their plans do not
provide for any more of a grade than Is In
the Tenth mtreet viaduct , and they add that
no > fault han been found with the grade there.
They resent the charge that the viaduct
under their plans would cost only $ nO,000 ,
but say tiho figure will reach nearer $300-
000.
000.Nothing
Nothing oan be obtained from the officials
as to their purposes toward the vvladuct if
t'he city refuses to accept their plans. They
admitted that a new viaduct woe Deeded
there and hoped on amicalde agreement
might lt reached. The Burlington peopln
said they were ready to go ahead at any
time , but the Union Pacific officers said the
matter had passed entirely Into the hands
of President Burt , who Is now out of the
city.
city.As
As a sort of plea In abatement the roads
are pointing to the new work 'being ' done
on the Tenth street vladuot as evidence of
the expenditure they are required to make
in the field of viaduct construction. An en
tire now floor of heavy oak timbers is being
put In this viaduct , and it will he repaved.
This will take time , us the work will be
done in such n manner that traffic will not
be disturbed. The roads assert that it will
co t them J32.000 to make this Improve
ment , which will IKiborno ( by the Burling
ton , Union Pacific and the street car com
pany.
UXIOV PACIFIC IIOSPITAI * FUND.
Monrj- Will Remain lu TrrwNnrr Until
lliillilliiKi. Arc Sold.
H. S. Aibhott , special master for tbe Union
Pacific , says the money in the treasury be
longing to the hospital fund will not bo dis
tributed until the hospital buildings are
sold nnd the proceeds turned in. He says It
will require about 10,000 checks to pay off
the claims which have been approved. AA'lth
a 2-ccnt revenue und 2-cent
stamp a - post
age stamp for enoh of these an Item of
expense would bo Incurred which none of
the claimants would approve If un attempt
was made now to distribute the cash , and
later a similar expense in distributing the
proceeds from the buildings. He says every
thing Is ready for the distribution when all
the property 'belonging to the fund has been
converted Into cosh. His report is ready to
file , thus providing against any further de
lay
The X'nlted States court , according to Mr.
ATihott. h s turned the matter of disposing
of the 'buildings over to the receivers , and
the latter are in constant communication
with real estate men at Ogdra and Denver.
The conditlnu of the real estate mark t , it
Is aald , IK such that a forced sale of the
property would result in virtually giving it
away. This the court is opposed to , but
there is a limit to waiting. If in the course
of a reasonable time some satisfactory offer
for the buildings is not received a public
sale of the property will have to be ordered ,
! but this will not he done until the- court is
I satisfied that every effort has been made to
dispose of the pro-pert 3at a fair price. In
I the meantime It is said the cash on hand
i belonging to the fund , estimated at about
* 50,00ft. Is deposited in the bank anfl Is
drawing 3 j > er cent Interest , which increases
i the total accordingly.

America he found the country In the first
excitement of the civil war nnd at once
tenJerod his sen-lew to the government as
an engineer , an offer that waft gladly ac
cepted. He built temporary bridges and re
constructed the tracks torn tip by the fleeing
enemy and his services were valuable. :
On one occasion he built a bridge on the | j
hurry order of a general and when he called j I
to report Us completion in an incredibly '
short time the general nsked where the
architect was. "I suppose he Is preparing
the plans , " was the reply , nnd the general
laughed.
Mr. McClure ne\'cr married. HP was held i ,
In the highest esteem by President Perkins , i
General Manager Brown nnd the other head ! i
men of the Burlington system. H was on
the recommendation of Sir. Perkins that he '
went to Quincy. Ho had charge of the j
bridge reconstruction there , ns he had of
the bridge when it was erected , for he had '
been in the employ of the company ever
since the close of the war. He was recog
nized as one of the best civil engineers in
the country. He had at the time of his
death control of more large bridges nnd
more of them had been constructed under
his supervision than any other man In the
country. He had a remarkable fund of cen-
enal knowledge and was a most pleasant .
man when one came to know him.
Direct CcintifCtiiin with K rt Worth.
C. A. Rutherford , city ticket agent for the
Rick Island , has returned from Chicago ,
where he attended a time card meeting of
that road. He says the only change con
templated which would be cf interest to
Omaha Is that of bringing this city In direct
connection with Fort "Worth , Tcs. To do
this It will he necessary to put on a new
train between Belleville nnd Me-
Farlnnd , Kan. This train will con
nect at Belleville with the one
leaving Omaha in the evening , and will
In turn connect at McFarlund with the train
from Kansas City for Fort " \Vorth. \ By this
arrangement all Kansas and Indian Ter
ritory points will be passed during the day
time. One can then leave Omaha In the
evening and arrive at Fort AVorth the fol
lowing evening. The .train . from this city
will probably leave at 6-IO : p. m. instead of
0:20 : , and there will he 11 more important
change In the leaving time of the train from
Kansas City. These recommedatloDs will
have to he approved by President Purdy before -
fore they become effective.

Members of the executive committee of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers for the Union
Pacific system have returned to Omahft to
resume their negotiations with the manage
ment of that road for a new contract. A
conference has been had with General Man
ager Dickinson and Superintendent of Tele
graph Korty , but no definite conclusions
have yet been reached. The negotiations
will be continued this wc-ek. The present
conference was to have been held about
March 1 , but nt that time General Manager
Dickinson had his hands full trying to keep
the tracks clear of snow in Wj-oming. When
he cleared the blockade he sent for the
committee and both sides hope for a speedy
adjustment of their differences.
Instruction In Flrxt Aid.
If a plan that the officers of the Mil
waukee road are now considering is adopter !
every employe of the company will become in
a small way n physician and a nurse , and
there will be fewer cases for the surgeon's
knife. It Is the Intention of the managers
of this road to start a systematic course of
instruction in the first principles of surgery
anil nurslnc among men engaged in train
Borvice , a course that , when thoroughly
mastered , will enable an employe to render
valuable first aid to the Injured. A slight
knowledge of the principles of first aid , It is
figured , would often mean the saving of
life.

Receiver William K. Potter of the de

yesterday filed In the dlstrkt court a report
showing thp condition of the liabilities and
assets of the Institution on March 2 and
containing a detailed statement of the re
ceivership slnoo Oils last report. Receiver
Potter also flted , In answer to nn order of
the court , a statement sSio-wlng what has
ibeen accomplished liy him since Uio 'bank
closed. This showing was ordered by the
court In answer to claims made "by depos
itors of tJio bank that the receiver has not
economically and carefully performed his
dutlts. The statement of the condition ol

The supplemental report In .which Re-
celver Potter explains what ho has accom
plished since ho was appointed receiver Is
as follows :
Before closlnc its doors the Nebraska
Savings and Exchange bank , had paid more
1 than ? : ! 00.000 of its liabilities. The assets
coming Into the hands of the receiver were
the "blow assets. " or those hard to realize
upon. The loans were all made upon hl h
valuations , the parties owing the same could
nut renew them or Dlaoe tnem with other
loan companies ; it therefore became neces
sary to foreclose nearly all the mortgages
and sue a large part of the notes. Many of
the suits are still pending , havinK been very
earnestly contested , some of them even
through the supreme court , taking a great
deal of tlino and a large amount for court
costs.
With the exception of two small pieces the
receiver has been obliged to bid In uvery
pitce of property sold at foreclosure sale ,
even though they have been advertised and
sold at auction.
A comparatively small amount of the ns-
scts has been available for use In settlement
of the affairs of the bank , except as they
have worked out through the courts from
time to time.
The receiver has been without a clerk nnd
not one dollar bos been expended for help
of any kind in his office since December.
J8HG. It has been necessary for most of the
time of the receiver to be devoted to detail
work of the olllce and he has thereby been
hampered very materially in the settlement
of the affairs of the bank.
Advantage bus been taken of ev.ry dis
count that could be obtained , amounting to
from 2 > to 50 per cent on the large number
of abstracts and printers' bills that Lave
been paid for , and credit has been given to
the assets for the same.
It has been the constant aim of the re
ceiver to conduct the affairs of the receiver
ship in accordance with just as strict busi
ness principles as could have been done had
he been managing his own affairs.
With the above statement , showing some'
of the conditions that have hampered the
receiver in bis work , he desires to call the
court'c attention to the following compara
tive fctptement. drawn from the reports on
file , showing just what has been accoin-
plisned since the bank closed :
Assets when bank closed ,

On bills receivable 2,355.7.1
On tax certificates 450.C7
On judgments 340.53
Total J 17.1W.79
It will be seen from the above figures that
every dollar of the assets , as shown bv the
books , which has been used since the bank
closed has paid an. equal amount of liabili
ties , except that part charged off as actual
loss , in shrinkage In value of real estate
sold and other Items , as shown above.
It will also be seen that the total expenses
of the receivership , and also the amount of
$5,7C.C2 ! ) as attorney's fees , court costs and
other miscellaneous items paid and charged
to pioflt and loss , have been entirely made
up by Income collected and gain to the ns-
fiels OP settlements , etc. . made bv the re
ceiver since the bank eloped. In accordance
wtu : the orders of the court.

And all other forms of this common anil
often dangerous disease readily cured with

Thousands of men und women are affllctri
with some sort of piles , without either know
ing the exact nature of the trouble , or knowIng -
Ing it , are careless enough to allow It to run
without taking tbe simple means offered for
a radical cure.
The failure of salve * and ointments to per
manently euro piles has led many to believe
the only euro to be a surgical operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and moreover not often entirely successful
and at this time are no longer used by the
host physicians or recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to euro any
cose of plies , whether blind , bleeding or
protruding. Is to uhe the Pyramid Pile cure ,
composed of healing vegetable oils , and ab
solutely free from mineral poisons and opi
ates. Tim following letter from u Pittsburg
pentlemau , a severe nuffercr from bleeding
piles , gives some Idea of the prompt effec
