SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. \
a
The remarkable feat performed by Charles
L. Buel In walking from Trevor , WIs. , to
the Union Stock Yards , Chicago , a distance
of sixty miles , for the purpose of beating
the time made by a stock train , an account
of which was printed In The Bee a tow days
since , secroa to have attracted considerable
attention In this section. Buel made a wager
of $500 that bo would beat the freight train ,
which consumed eighteen hours In running
from Trevor to Chicago , nnd ho made the
trip In a little less than fifteen hours.
For some time past live stock commission
men dolnn business at the stock yards hero
have thought that the tlmo consumed by
Block trains from Iowa points Into South
Omaha was entirely too long , but as com
pared with ino Trevor-Chicago case , stock
trains In" this section are regular flyers.
A look over the time cards shows that It
takes the Sioux City & Pacific nlno hours
to run sixty miles ; the Northwestern makes
the same distance in five and one-half hours ,
os docs also the Milwaukee and the Pitts-
burg & Gulf ; dt takes the Chicago , Burling
ton & Qulncy six and one-half hours , while
the Rock Island runs the distance In five
hours. In Nebraska , for the same distance ,
It takes tbo Elkhorn a little less than six
hours , the Minneapolis & Omaha six hours
and the Burlington five hours.
It Is stated that as there Is very little
sfdck picked up for sixty miles out of South
Omaha the running tlmo for this distance
ought to be covered In not to exceed four
hours. Further It Is asserted that If this
tir e wore accomplished by the railroads the
m farmers' would got their stock Into South
Omaha'earlier than they do now and thus
save considerable In shrinkage.

DEATH LURKS IN THE MILK
Oity Physician Spaldine Makes an Important
and Striking Diecorerj.
PRESERVATIVE BEING USED BY DEALERS
Health Drpnrtnirtit 1'rrpnrlnjr In Issue
n Cnnl of Wnriiliiic lir Which
the Adulterated Kltilil
May lie Tested.
Adulterated milk which carries gorim of
disease and death , for babies especially. Is
being doled out In considerable quantities
by some of the local milkmen. Thla _ has
been discovered and absolutely proven by
City Physician Spaldlng , who le preparing
to Issue a card ot warning to the general
public on the matter.
The Injurious element In the milk Is n
preservative. Just what It Is the physician
has not yet discovered , but It Is nimc sub-
titan ce that Is Indigestible. U Is used to pre
vent the curdling and souring of milk In
warm weather. The presence of such a substance -
stance In a child's ntomncli Is sure to result
In Indigestion , which will mean sickness and
In many cases death , ho says.
City Physician Spaldlng has heard for
same time that such n pwrvntlve has been
used. It has not been needed In any quan
tities In cold weather , however , nn milk will
not sour readily In a cool atmosphere. With
the approach of warm weather , however ,
the proaervatlve Is being used. Several sam
ples of milk that have been brought to the
office of the health department have dis
closed the presence of the deleterious sub
stance.
Cltjr niilrlcn All ntitht.
"Tho use of tills preservative has been
presented as a solution for the difficult
problem of transporting milk , " says the
city physician. "That Is the great problem
that confronts the dairymen who supply n
large cily with milk. I have recently vis
ited all the dairies about the city and they
are uniformly In good condition. The cows
are well kept and the stables nro clean.
Upon tbcso points I think the health de
partment of this city has done all that can
bo done. In only one point are wo lacking ;
wo have no facilities for examining cows to
discover whether they are afflicted with
tuberculosis or not. With this one excep
tion I believe tliat I can safely say that the
health department Is Insisting that pure
milk shall be sold to Omaha people. This
deleterious substance that Is being put in
milk Is not Intended to purify It.
"As I have said , the problem In the dairy
business Is transportation of milk. If mill ;
Is agitated any length of time It ourldes
and sours. If It Is carried In
cans not completely filled It becomes -
comes sour. The preservative that Is beIng -
Ing put In the milk Is placed there to pre
vent tills curdling , and It succeeds. As an
example , I will cite the experience of one
man , who reported It to me. He suspected
some rich cream and allowed it to stand
for two days in a warm place. At the end
of that time It was as sweet as when he
got it. If there had been no preservative
in it the cream would have been sour.
"This suggests the method by which the
housewife can test the milk she receives.
She should allow some of it to stand in n
warm place. If it sours within a reason
able time the milk la all right ; If It does
not sour she may bo sure that there Is some
preservative In It. In the latter case she
should get another milkman. This Is an
Infallible test and one that can bo mode by
all.
H < MV to Remedy the Kvll.
"In the second place , all housewives should
Insist that milk bo delivered In full cans or
bottles. It does not need to be chemically
preserved. Of course , It Is pceslblo for the
milkman to put the preservative In milk
when he delivers it In cans or bottles of this
character , but lie gains nothing by It. It is
cheaper and more convenient to put the milk
into such receptacles at once than to put
the preservative In It , transport it In big
cans and later pour It Into bottles. Any
A-ny , If Omaha's citizens Insist on getting
their milk in quart bottles , a step will be
taken In the direction of doing away with
the preservative.
"In addition to this I would like every citi
zen of Omaha who discovers that preserved
milk is being delivered to him or her to re
port the same to the health department. We
will make a test of the milk and will then
prosecute the milkman. Of course the health
department proposes to take stops against
the use of the preservative at once , but It
can bo materially assisted by citizens If they
take the trouble to do what I have suggested.
"Most people will appreciate the danger
In this preserved milk 'when ' I say that the
preservative Is Indigestible. Indigestion is
a very disagreeable and even dangerous com
plaint for adults. It Is many times more so
for the babies. If young children are per
mitted to feed on this milk they are sure
to bo sick and the mortality among thorn will
be great. "
PORTER WANTS HIS MONEY
DlNuovrrH tluit in RroirliiK Iliilr Tlirre
in .Not the Prollt thut lie
Anticipated. .
In a petition that ho nan filed In the dis
trict court Coleman Porter says that In
October , 1897 , ho met Nellie S. Hawley ,
otherwise and commercially known ns the
Hawley Manufacturing company , the pro
prietor and promoter of a number of halr-
dresstng specialties which wore guaranteed
and warranted to make hair grow.
The woman succeeded In convincing
him that there was n fortune to bo
picked up toy properly advertising
the articles and
ho eventually en
tered into a contract with her by which he
was to put up the cash nnd participate In the
profits. The agreement wns that ho was to
advance $300 at once nnd $50 per month
thereafter until an aggregate o $2,000 was
reached. In return , ho was to receive 15 per
cent of the gross profits until his share
amounted to $6,000.
Porter asserts that he paid In his money
as agreed , but that Instead of the big profits
he had been led to expect , he received only
$146.09 for hie total Investment. By a sub
sequent contract he paid the last $632 In a
lump on the agreement of his female partner
to repay the entire $2,000 by November 30 ,
1898. As no part of the amount was paid , he
ues his partner for $2,000 and Interest , nnd
at the Insistent request of his attorney , the
records In the case were "burled. "
Ilolonlink AVInx Attain ,
The Jury returned a verdict In Judge Sin-
baugb'B court In the case of Frank Holonbck
against Swift and Company for $11,500.
This case arose In 1893 , when Holonbek ,
n boy then 14 years old , was employed by the
Swift Packing company to work on a hog
casing cleaning machine. In which his loft
band was caught in eonie revolving knives
and the first three fingers cut off.
The case was tried In 1895 and resulted In
a verdict for $5,000 for the plaintiff , but the
case was reversed by the supreme court on a
technicality and remanded to the district
court for another trial with the above re
sult.

from that tlmo on until the close of the

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
Democratic Meniltprn of Hoard Adopt
Tnctlcn to Oiint Repub
lican Clerics.
County Commissioner Hector was able to
participate In the deliberations of the board
yesterday for the first time since his re
cent Illness , and with his reappearance the
majority made a now start In Its efforts to
secure control of that portion of tbo county
patronage that Is comprised In the auditing
department. Two efforts to Install the polit
ical friends of the majority members In this
department having been cut short by de
cisions of the district court that the depart
ment Is under the control ot the county
clerk , they now propose to eliminate this ob
jection by abolishing the present department
and creating ; a new one by a resolution which
expressly Implies that U shall bo distinct
and separate from any other county office
and subject to the control nnd direction of
the Board of County Commissioners. The
resolutions by which this scheme Is proposed
to be carried Into effect were referred under
the rules and will be a subject of controversy
at a future meeting. In the meantime County
Clerk Haverly declines to discuss what his
action will bo in the matter , saying that he
has not had time to consider this new move
of his political opponents on the board.
The resolutions were Introduced by Con
nolly. The first' provides that the ofllce of
auditor shall bo created with such assistants
ns may bo designated by the board to exam
ine the accounts of the county treasurer , the
quarterly reports of county officers and all
claims that may bo presented ; also , that a
room shall be set aside for the use of this
department so that It shall not be connected
with any other county ofllce.
Cstroni wanted to know what It is pro
posed to do with the auditing department
that already exlsto , but Connolly answered
thnt that will appear in due tlmo end Intro
duced another resolution , which calls on the
county clerk to discharge all employes In
his olUco except those who are actually
uecessary to perform the duties of the office.
Ho Is notified In the same resolution that
the board will refuse to pay the salaries of
any clerks 'whom ' ho may employ to check
up accounts or reports. Both resolutions
were referred to the court house nnd Jails
committee.
Another resolution by Connolly provided
for the appointment of Dr. J. J. Savllle ns
county physician to succeed Dr. Welse. This
wan referred to the committee on charity.
As the result of an exer-utlve session held
Just before the regular meeting , the contract
for bridge construction during 1899 was let
to the Wrought Iron Bridge company of
Ohio at the following figures : Twenty to
thrlty-four-foot spans , $10 to $16.50 a foot ;

"Tho Light That Failed" occurred In the

"I would scarcely advise any young man ,
having n good position In the states , to try
to better himself by going Into the Klondike
country , and I would decidedly warn anyone
from going there without means to land him
In Dawson with $1,000 clear money , " said
F. S. Carrier , an old Klondike miner , who
has been In the city the past week. "If he
has that amount and knows how to take
care of himself , how to clothe himself prop
erly and look out for his health , he will not
suffer any great hardships. The Klondike
winter , while a great deal colder , Is no
harder on a man than our winters here.
There Is very little snow , In fact , there Is
110 snow at all that falls as the snow docs
here. It comes there In the form of frost
and Is light and fluffy.
"Undoubtedly there 1ms been n great deal
of suffering on the Skagway trail , but It was
among the men who rushed up there with
out any money and without the proper
clothes and food. Some of them had no dogs
and tried to pack their own freight. They
overworked , got heated and cooled oft sud
denly and took pneumonia , Just as they
would hnvo done anywhere , only It Is worse
when you get it there. Some of them , too ,
who did not know the way , tried to go
through without guides and got lost. When
there Is snow on the trail and night comes
on there is nothing to do but make camp
right where you arc. If you get oft the
trail you slip right down ; the snow will
not hold you. Yon can make camp In the
snow without any clangor If you have the
provisions and are properly dressed heavy
underwear , a heavy suit over that , and an
overcoat that comes below the knees and
has a hood over the head and face , leaving
only eye-holes and a place to breathe
through.
ChitrlcH Aiulernon'n Ijiick.
"A man who goes to the Klondike with
the necessary money and Is willing to bo
exiled tor live years can expect to come out
at the end of that tlmo with $15,000 to $25-
000. Of course , If ho makes the strikes that
are sometimes made , ho will bo worth a good
deal more. For Instance , a young man of
the name of Charles Anderson wont up there
to buy a claim. Some men who had one to
sell that they had been working a long time
and had not taken anything out of to
amount to anything got Anderson drunk
and sold him their claim for $700. They
thought they wore robbing him and got out
of the way Immediately. Anderson had no
money left and ho had to do something , so
he wnnt to work on the claim he had bought
agnlnot his will. This year , when ho makes
his cleanup , ho will take out about $2,000-
000. The cleanups this year will range
from $33,000 to $2,000,000 , but of course the
men have been working , some of them for
years , without making a cleanup. A man
who has no practical knowledge of mining
will probably have to work for someone else
If he goes up there , although a few keen
young fellows who knew nothing at all about
It have made fortunes. It doesn't make very
much difference if a man docs work for a
while for someone else.
IliK Iiivcfitment ! > > Cuiliihy and Hcler
"Tho Yukon Transportation company , in
which the Cudahys and Hcaloy are in
terested , will take out about $2,000,000 this
year. They are Introducing a new
system of working their claims. They
are putting in a water plant which
will pump water to the head of the gulch
at Bonanza and Eldorado , and from there
they will use It to wash down the surface
of their claims nil along the sides of the
gulch. They have bought up practically all
the bench claims In that region and will
probably get hold of the others In a short
timo. A 'bench ' claim Is a strip of land be
ginning at the water's cdgo and running
up to the top of the gulch. The creek
claims extend from the water line on one
side of the creek to the water line on the
other , Including simply a pleoo of the bed
of the creek. The Cudahys will wash the
surface down the sides of the gulch Into
big slulco boxes nt the bottom , where the
gold will wash out. As they cut down the
side of the gulch they will move the boxes
away from the stream and follow UD close
to the foot of the bank. This Is an enor
mous plant to put In and will cost several
millions , but they will take out plenty of
gold when they get it done.
"Tho gold In that country will last long
after the young men of today are dead and
I think the prosperity of that region Is per
manent. It Is going to he the greatest rainIng -
Ing camp the world over saw. The ground
Is all full of gold , and It's all what we call
coarse gold ; none of It te flake gold. That'
shows that il all comes from n mother lode
and wheri" they find that mother lode It will
bo something wonderful.
TinAtllii Dlxtrlct.
"Tho now region that Is attracting n great
deal of attention Just now is the Atlln dls-

A friend of mine who Is there wrote me of

JG5.000 In one winter. The man was old and
alone , having no one with him but an old
Indian squaw. He has loft the place now ,
but ho told one other man where it was.
This Atlln district will probably bo as rich
as the Honnnzn and Eldorado crcoks ,
"Dawson In getting to bo quite a substan
tial city now. They do not allow any moro
tents to bo put up. At first the city was all
tents , 1)ut now the houses have to bo of
wood cr something like that. There Is only
ono dlfllculty about Its becoming a big
place the scarcity of fuel. Wood Is very
high now , as BO much of It has lieen used
by the miners to thaw the ground. Hut
lately ono pretty good vein of coal has been
found and probably moro will 'bo discovered
In tlmo. "

goods nnd even cashed $300 drafts for him
