PHYSICIANS COMPLETE AN EXAMINATION
Detroit ea Kxprct to I'nenrth Some
In trrrxt Iiik Evidence Ilefore tlie
t'lirniirr'n Jury Injnrlea Could
Not Have Itcnultetl from Full.
The physicians who conducted the post
inortcn examination upon tho bod of Mary
Veltr ton, tho domestic writ was found
dead Monday morning In tho homo of J. 3.
Collins, 1711 Hurt street, where she was
cmplojcd, are prepared to testify at the In
quest to be held today that the woman
tamo to her death as the result of a blow
or blows received upon tho faco and fore
head. Tho doctors havo cad an Informal re
port to tho coroner, which Is to the effect
that tho Injuries sho received could not
havo been caused by hor falling forward
upon her face. Tho roport also says that
tho blows wero delivered before death,
which fact Is established by tho black-
-.ad-blue appearanco of tho bruises. Tho
rport, In substance, follows:
"Mary Petorson died of a trunmatlc In
jury of tho noso and frontal sinus, causing
a sovero concussion of tho brain. It Is
not likely that such Injuries could havo
been caused by her full."
Tho post-mortem examination which was
In progress all day Monday disclosed tho
fact that tho woman's noso was broken, and
that thero was a clot of blood upon tho
brain Just back of tho baso of tho noso.
This evidently had been caused by a blow,
Tho heart, liver, lungs and all other vital
organs wero In normal condition. Tho fact
that tho woman's tonguo was lacerated as
though chowed led to tho supposition that
sho might havo taken poison, and for this
reason tho stomach was removed and Is
now In tho laboratory of Dr. W. H. I.avcn
dcr, who has subjected It to an examination.
Hn Hays he can detect tho presenco of no
noxious substance.
Monday afternoon two dotcctlves wore
detailed on tho caso and Tuesday the
forco was doubled. Sergcnnt Wclsenburg,
Detectives Mitchell and Heltfeld and officer
Davis aro now Investigating It. It Is under
stood that tho father of tho woman's un
born child is known to the pollco nnd that
an arrest may bo expected within tho noxt
twolvo hours.
Tho body has been embalmed and inter
mont will be deferred until after tho In
quest, that the Jurors may have an oppor
tunlty to examlno tho wounds that caused
death.
Two brothers of the deceased arrived In
tho city yostorday morning. They are Axtel
Peterson of Brookllne, la., and C. H. Peter
son of Monldn, Mont. In referring to the
death of his sister, Axtel Peterson said:
"1 can't understand how she could havo
rocolved those Injuries by simply falling
forward upon her face, ns tho carpet would
havo broken the force of the fall. And bo
sides, tho wounds are so distributed over
hor faco that thoy could not havo been made
by falling upon a flat surface. I am satis
fied that oho bos met with some foul play,
bUt until I havo Investigated the matter
further I don't caro to discuss It In detail
All that I can say now Is that the case re
quires furthor Investigation."
It was learned from tho brothers that tho
dead woman was 29 years old. Her parents
aro still In Sweden and sho has three
brothers and thrco aunts In tho United
Stat. j-The-other brother lives at Rock
tord, 111., but they havo not been able to
locato his street address as yet. Mary
Peterson had lived In Omaha since 1894 and
had been In tho employ of Mr. Collins slnco
1697.
Among those who viewed tho body yes
terday was Miss Maria Holnass, president
of tho Scandinavian Young woman's Chris
thin Association of America, 2018 Davenport
stroct, of which tho deceased was n charter
member. Miss Holnass speaks In tho highest
terms of tho dead woman. Sho was In con
sulfation with the officers and detectives
for an hour this morning and. It Is under
stood, gavo them Information which will
enable them to work Intelligently on the
ense. It was learned that tho deceased was
on confidential terms with Miss Holnass and
that tho latter will make some Interesting
disclosures at today's Inquest.
Tho funeral will bo at 2 o'clock this after
noon from tho coroner's rooms; Interment

GOT HER COFFEE.
And It Pulled Her Out.
"Doctor nftor doctor said I should not
drink strong coffee. It struck mo as pe
culiar that this advlco should bo so unl
verSal.
"I havo been a school teacher and a few
years ago began to feel I was pretty well
worn out and nervous, found that I was
dupending more and moro upon my coffee
to carry mo through my day's work. Many
times, when teaching lu a boarding school
I havo asked the matron for u cup of coffee
'strong' becauso I felt I could not get
through tho recitation without It.
"Of courso I was living on borrowed
strength and two years ago tho physical
crush came. Nervous' prostration and neu
rasthenta. For weeks 1 could not even
walk or stand nlono. The physician said It
would bo two or three years before I could
recover so as to bo able to do anything.
My appetite was gone, I could not sleep,
and I was In u di-aporato condition, nervous
and otherwise
"I was .wanting coffeo very badly, but It
was kept from me. Ono morning about
threo weeks after tho breakdown, tho nurse
brought me a cup of coffeo of delicious
flavor. 'May I havo It!'. I exclaimed. 'Yes,
the Dr. says It will not hurt you now.' I
could not uudurstaud It and did not try.
but Just drank tho coffee and had It every
morning alter tnat.
"My appetite began to return with the
first cup, and I had been enjoying It for a
month or" moro when sister said: 'Does
your coffeo tusto as good as It did before
you ycro sick!' "Oh, yes,' I said, "It
never tasted better.' 'Is It strong enough
to suit you?' I said: 'It could not be Im
proved.' . 'Do you know,' Bhe said, 'you
are not drinking mocha or Java, but Postum
Food Coffee?' and so It was, overy grain of
It.
"I had often scoffed at Postum Food Cot
fen beforo I knew of Its value, and Its do-
llclous flavor.
"It htm been a Saviour to me. Instead of
waiting two or threo years to recover
strength, I am now in good working condl
tlon six months aftor tho breakdown, and
feel better. than I havo In ten years past.'

MAY DRAW THEIR PAY NOW
Salnrlea of Deputy Conntr Attorney
Fixed by Judgta of the 1)U
trlct Court.
The Judges of tho district court met yes
terday and fixed tho salaries of tho thrco
deputy county attornoys at 11,200 per an
num each. Tbo deputies havo not re
ceived any pay since tho beginning of tbo
year on account of tho objection to the
allowance of their salaries mado by Couuty
Commissioner Harte, who contended that
they could not be paid until the amount
of their compensation was fixed by the
Judges. Mr. Harto's position ha 8 been
sustained and the salaries will probably
bo allowed at tho next meeting of tho
county board.
Judgo Baker was authorized to call a
meeting of tho Douglas county bar for tbo
purposo of adopting resolutions of respect

SCHOOL BOARD WINS OUT
Dill to I'nt School Very In llrtndn of
Mayor nnd Council Indefinitely
I'oatponrd.
Tho mayor and city council of Omaha
aro not likely to have tho power to fix the
amount of tho public school tax levy con
ferred upon thorn. At a meeting of the
senato commltteo on public education held
yesterday It was decided to Indefinitely
postpone consideration of tho bill provid
ing that tho mayor and council shall de
termine tho amount of the school levy.
Most of tho members of the houso commit
tee wero present at the meeting and they
concurred In tho action of tho senate com
mittee. This Indicates that the right to
fix tho local school levy will remain ex
clusively with the Hoard of Education.

Pertaining to Realty
Will Dlacuaa Leglalntlon.
At today's meeting of tho Ileal Estate
exchange some Indication will bo given of
tbo prospects of legislation affecting tho
real estate Interests of Omaha ut the
present session of the legislature. Tho
committee of the exchange which met the
house oommlttoe nt noon yesterday will
mako Its report and halt n Bcorc of members
of tho exchange who formed tho deputation
will havo something to say as to the sort
of reception they were accorded.
It will bo remembered that the committee
was appointed especially to enter a pro
test against the bill proposing amendments
to tbo Omaha charter by which tho sal
aries of some of tho city officials would be
raised. It was felt, however, that If a
committee of tho exchange was to be In
Lincoln at all It might aB well do a little
promotion work lu connection with other
measures which aro In line with tho do
slre of tho exchango to put the rights of
ownors nnd tenantB, of buyers nnd sellers
and of the agents themselves on the sound
est possible footing.
The members who went to Lincoln yes
terday morning ou this errand Included:
J. W. Lytle, chairman of tho committee;
John N. Fronzcr, J. W. Ilobblns, A. L.
Ileed, F. D. Wead, J. F. Flack, W. Farnam
Smith and some others, and on tho same
train wero Herman Kountze and Henry W.
Yntos, representing somo of Iho heavy
property owners, who went to glvo their
support to the arguments of the exchange.
In addition to the dlscusslou on leg
islation which will be precipitated by the
report of the committee, the matter of uc
tlon sales will again conic beforo th'j ex
chango today. Tho auctions committee may
ask for another week to decide ujon Its
report nnd It may request more definite
Instructions on the question of publlo bid
ding. This Is n point on which there Is a
strong line of leverage, which appears to
bo based on the position of different agents.
Somo of those who havo been longer In
tho business, or who from other reasons
have a large number of properties on their
list which they would llko to put upon
the auction block, favor the free admission
of tho public; whllo those who are less
llkoly to havo property to sell would like
to nllow only members of tho exchango to
take part In the bidding.
Another point that Is rather complicating
the situation Is tho question of u license.
It is realized that if tho auction Is to be
a public one It will be necessary for the
exchange to have an auctioneer's license,
toward tho cost of which each sale must In
somo wav contribute. As the simplest way
of providing for this, It Is urged that a
small percentage of the commission on
each sale should go to the exchange. This,
boweyer, means just that much less for

J. A. Heck, president of tlio Young Men'n
Republican club, has called a meeting of
the club to bo held on Thursday evening at
tho council chamber. Tho object Is to re
organize tho club and elect officers for tho
year. This club Is ono of tho prominent
political organizations In the city and every
member Is urged to attend tho called meet
ing. As for tho officers to bo elected thero
seems to bo a feeling that Henry C. Murphy,
the present city prosecutor, will be named
as president. Gcorgo Francisco, nlso a
well known republican worker, la being
mentioned for secretary. Tho present sec
retary of the club, Earl Matthews, Is kept
at Lincoln most of tho tlmo and cannot
possibly devote the tlmo necessary to thu
work In hand, thereforo ha deems It best
to announce that ho cannot bu a candidate
for re-election. Whllo Mr. Heck has
worked hard as president of tho club, be
thinks It better to step down and nllow an
other man to bo chosen for tho place. Ono
year ago Mr. Murphy was a candldato for
tho presidency of this club, but was beaten
by Mr. Heck In a friendly contest. This
year It Is thought that thero will bo no op
position to Murphy.
As soon as tho work of reorganization is
completed it is tho Intention of tho mem
bers to start right In on tho spring cam
paign and use uvory effort to elect repub
lican councilman and republican members
of tho Hoard of Education.
Sixty Yenra Auo.
On Monday evening last tho South Omaha
lodges of Odd Fellows and Hcbokas ten
dered a reception and banquet to Hon.
David Anderson, the oldest member. Dele
gations of Odd Fellows wero present from
Omaha, Papllllon and Sprlngllcld. Past
Master F. J. Ettcr acted as master nf
teremonltfl and Colonel Samuel Oosnoy, E, T.
Farnsworth and others spoke. Tho re
marks wero highly complimentary as to tho
standing In tho community of Mr. Anderson.
In replying to tho brief addresses Mr. An
derson related experiences of sixty years
ago. Ho said In part:
"Sixty years ngo there wero no cannon
ball' railway trains with large, elegant
sleeping cars attached, speeding rapidly
across tho American continent at tho rato
of fifty miles nn hour; thero wero no fast
sailing steamships conveying tbo cllto nnd
wealthy, citizens from New York to Liver
pool nnd Bremen In flvo to six days; thero
wero no electric and cabto street cars, and
thero were no gas nnd electric light plants
established to lllumlnato our homes, streets
nnd highways.
"Sixty years ngo Prof. Morso Informed
the American public that ho had In
vented a system of telegraphy whereby a
citizen of Philadelphia would be able to
communtcato with electricity with a ctttzon
of Now York city. Ho was at onco pro
nounced a lunatic by 95 per cent
of tbo people, but that fact did not dls
courago or prevent thin man of sclenco from
perfecting and putting Into operation tho
present useful telegraph system. Thero was
no method of telephoning and tho man who
would have suggested such a ridiculous
proposition would havo been pronounced
Insane and placed In the samo class with
Prof. Morso.
"Sixty years ngo thero wero no sowing
machines and but fow musical Instru
ments; no patent reaper and binding ma
chines, mowing machines, horse rakes, rid
ing plows and cultivators or steam thresh
ing machines. Thero were no millionaires,
no national banks, no professional tramps,
no Coxcy's armies.
"Mammoth manufacturing plants, capi
talized with millions of dollars and employ
ing thousands of workmen, wero unknown.
America did not,- at that early period In Its
history, produce, manufacture and export
to foreign countries over one billion of Its
product, as was done In tho last year. Tho'
Industries, except agrlculturo nnd stack
ralstug, wero qulto primitive. A fow Iron
forges and a sprinkling of woolen and cot
ton mills were established In tho larger
water courses In Pennsylvania, Now York
and Massachusetts. Tho Bmall plants usu
ally employed from soventy-flvo to 150
hands and their wages ranged from CO cents
to 91-75 per day of fourteen and fifteen
hours. At present the samo class of labor
commands from $1 to $5 per day of eight
and ten hours."
i MHltnry Itond to Fort Crook.
Humor has It that sometime this Bum
mer something will bo done about macad
amizing Thirteenth street from Omaha to
Fort Crook. When Congressman Mercer
last talked about this matter here ho as
serted that plans wero shaping themselves
for the work to bo started somctlmo tins
year. Property owners In tho eastern part
of tho city are very anxious to havo tho
start made. It will be remembered that
when the question was up beforo somo of
tho agents, and, anyway. If only agents
are to bid, tho agent who buys must dlvldo
with tho agent who sells. The question
arises: Will thero bo enough in It to make
It nn object to either party?
It Is tho unanimous feeling that some
Inducement beyond the certainty of a solo
must bo held out to bring tho sellers Into
tho field. Ono party contends that this ob
ject can best bo reached by making tho
sales aa free as possible, In tbo expectation
that more buyers will attend nnd tho bid
ding will bo brisker, whllo the other party
holds that in order to secure a large at
tendance of buyers it will be necessary to
give every agent on Inducement to bring
In clients.
Mlnlnir Iliveatinenta Attractive.
"Did you ever notlco that within recent
years thero has boen a renewed Inclination
among Omaha people to put their money
Into mines?"
ThU question was asked by ono of tho
most octlvo real estato men In Omaha tho
other day,4 who had been appealed to by a
client to sell somo of his property In this
city, becau.o ho was needing cash. In this
case tho mining Investments wero ap
parently not as profitable as In somo
others.
U Is well known that Montana copper Is
yielding a largo monthly Income estimated
In tho neighborhood of $23,000 to nn Omaha
bank president and his son. Then E. W,
Nash nnd Ouy C. Barton havo had a finger
In the gold nnd silver pie of Mexico for
eight or ten years past, from which thoy
have drawn upward of a quarter of a mil
lion, Other capitalists are heavily inter
ested In properties neur Chihuahua, Mex
ico, from which one of them alono Is draw
ing sufficient to pay the salaries of half a
hundred clerks,
Apart from these Instances, where n fow
Individuals are getting large returns from
mines which they practically own, there aro
hundreds of othor Omaha people who are
helping to develop properties In Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, British Columbia and
other places, which, in most cases, havo not
yet reached the point where thoy return
any profits to thoso who havo put their
money Into them. Ono of these concorus
has expended over $60,000 In development.
About $40,000 or $50,000 In oro has been
taken out, but all of this has been put back
Into tho properties, which havo not yet
reached the paying point.
About a hundred Omahans have contrib
uted toward a sum of $24,000 that has been
expended In tho purchaso of 200 acres In
southwestern Colorado, near tho country of
the cllft-dwellors, and In building a plant
and prospecting. Here, within about thne
years, a ,flve.-hydraullo plant has been
erected, tnd tho stockholders are hoplntf
tho citizens wnnted tho lower road through
Albright used as n military rond Instead
of tho Thirteenth street route, which Is
known as the ridge road. Pressure on both
sides was brought to bear and this Is one
of tho reasons that the matter was hold up
In congress. When u start Is mado this
tlmo It will be dona without allowing any
controversy. Nothing will bo done during
tho present session of congress, but the
opinion Is expressed that when nn extra
session Is called tho matter will be finally
disposed of.
That Library Site.
Since tho meeting of the council Mon
day night, when tho Carncglo library dona
tion was seriously considered, thero has
been a great deal of talk about tbo matter
and steps to secure this donation will be
considered at once.
Thero Is some talk of starting out with
a subscription list to ralso sufficient funds
for tbo purchases of n site. At the same
tlmo those Interested will labor with the
legislative commltteo on cities and towns
In an effort to havo tho charter so amended
an to allow an annual appropriation of
$3,000 for tho iualntcnanco of tho library.
The securing of this money for a site by
popular subscription Is not considered a
good ono by somo. In this connection
Councilman I'd Johnston said yesterday
that ho thought tho best way out of tho
matter would bo for the city to voto bonds
for, say $5,000, nnd purchase p. suitable
Bite. By the voting of bonds tho out-of-town
taxpayers would be called upon to
pay n proportion of tbo amount. Such a
tax will bo very light, Mr. Johnston says,
nnd ho thinks that thero will be no opposi
tion to bonds of this kind.
Thu slto Is tho noxt question and It means
a friendly contest between tho wards. Whllo
many would Ilka to sea the library In tho
First ward, others think It should bo lo
cated south of N street and thus give tho
Second wurd n chance. However, It Is as
serted, that when tho money for a Bite Is
provldod It will not bo a hard matter to
find a suitable location.
HiMiry Wht'tntmin Claim.
Thrco physicians havo filed bills with the
city clerk for services rendered Henry
Whetstone. It will be remembered that
Whetstone died from the result of a blow

referred to tho commissioners of Sarpy
county for adjustment, an South Omaha
ofllclnls do not consider that tho municipal
Ity Is liable.
Coitfcaaluir JudKiurnt.
City Prosecutor Henry C. Murphy Is scrl
ously considering the question of refusing
In tho future to confess Judgments when dt
reeled by tho city council. Almost Imme
dlatoly after assuming tho duties of his
ofllco City Attorney Lambert served notice
that ho would not go into rourt and confess
Judgments, as ho did not consider such ac
tion legal. Since Lambert declined to con
fess Judgments tho tnsk has devolved upon
City Prosecutor Murphy nnd ho begins to
feel that tho practlco ought to be Btoppcd
Murphy Is under heavy bonds nnd he feels
that ho ought to bo very cautious In what
he does, especially ns bis bond Is considers

council.

On Thursday of this week a commltteo
