OVER UNION COAL DRIVERS
Otntral Labor Union Will Reoommsnd tbat
Badges B Reminded.
WAITERS PROTEST ACAINST PICKETING
Allece that Baslaea Mem Are Trytas;

clared literal.
The matter of the posting of notice In
their yards by the member of the Omaha
Coal exchange was called to the attention
of the Central Labor union last night by
one of the delegate from th Teamaters'
hnlon. The notice In queatlon Is to the
affect that no person shall refuaa to re
reive coal hauled by a nonunion driver.
t seems to be the Intention of th mem
bers of th exchange to take all orders
tvtth th understanding that they are to
be the arbiters as to whather union drivers
!WI1I do their delivering or not. All mem
bers of the union present signified their
willingness to refuse to receive goods
hauled by other than union teamsters, and
their word was pledged to call th atten
tion of all members of their respective
organisations to th matter with th In
tentlon of having every union man In the
rlty turn down any goods delivered by
bonunlon teamsters.
A member of the Walters' union said It
tiad come to his knowledge that the busi
ness men had stationed pickets near some
of the union restaurants to ask patrons to
patronise nonunion eating houses. He re
nuested that the matter be Inquired Into
for th purpose of having the practice
discontinued. The opinion waa expressed
that If the courts barred the waiters from
'picketing unfair places, th same courts
could not consistently refuse to rule against
th business men when they adopted the
am tactics.
A report was) received to th effect that
several nonunion teamsters had been Im
ported Into the city by th coal dealers,
and that each of them had been waited
upon by a delegation from th local union
and asked to Join the organisation. All
of them had either taken cards or ex
pressed their Intention of so doing at th
next meeting.
Some Roa tin Matters.
President Ouy filled the vacancy In the
Arbitration committee by the appointment
f John Korf. L. C. Wroth of the Walters
' union presented Ms. credentials and was
duly obligated as a member of the cen
tral body. The credentials of Christopher
Faulsen and Robert Farrell, members of
the Structural Iron Workers' union, wer
received, but th delegates were not ob
ligated. They will b received into the
union at th next regular meeting.
The arbitration committee reported the
result of Its Investigation . of th griev
ances against th saloons of Charles Loft-
man, Fourteenth and Howard streets;
Jonas Achats, Schllts No. t, and Louis
Schmiti, Thirteenth and Dodge streets,
The three wer declared ' unfair. Certain
grievances against Daniel W. Her, who
conducts a saloon at 1202. Douglas street,
resulted-.. In th placing of th matter In
th hands of the arbitration committee with
Instructions to Investigate and report.
A request for aid was received from th
Neckwear Cutters' ' union of NewTork.
The Shingle Weavers' union of Tacohia,
Wash., asked that two lumber firms In
that stat be placed on th unfair list Th
matter was referred to the Carpenters'
Union.
President Louts V.. Guy spoke upon th
adoption of th union 'label .by each or
ganisation. He thought the matter should
be taken up and given consideration by
each body and a label or some similar
badge adopted at th earliest possible mo
ment,.' He said that th unions of Omaha
are behind those of other cities in this
respect, and he believed1 When the label
la adopted and used that It will solve
many of th difficulties now confronting
organised labor In this city.
CULKINS AWAITS HIS PREY
Chicago Dateetlv Who Was Chained
by Prisoner Is still In
Omaha.
Officer James F. Culklns, who is attached
to one of the polloe stations in northwest
ern Chicago, Is In th city waiting for a day
or two cn th chance that his former prls
oner, Gabriel Ecklund, who escaped from
th train somewhere west of Sidney, leav
Inj the officer chained, has been captured.
Th officer, who has years of excellent
service behind him, Is much humiliated by
the deft manner In which he was con
verted from a proud captor to a shackled
prisoner. He will return east In a day or
two. Culklns says that he simply went to
sleep and that th crook turned th trick,
Culklns got his prisoner In Rawlins about
f o'clock and thinks he did not go to sleep
until about midnight Ha did not awake
" until morning and no on knows where
th real prisoner left th car. Th police
man's most mortifying time cam while h
IBtRBANITEfl
Breakfast on Coffee, Roll and
Rash for th Train.
Th commuter who bolts down a few
mouthful of food and hurries to catch
the train usually catches dyspepsia as
well.
Th "coffee and roll" road to 111 health
la not neoeasary for there Is an easy and
pleasant way to get back to health and
shake off all th coffee disease by shifting
to Postura Food Coffee. "For a number
of years I was a business woman rising
early and swallowing a roll and a cup of
coffee just In tiro to catch a train. A
feeling of nausea or palpitation and a
continual dullness in the eye and head
Invariably followed my coffee breakfasts
until on ' day a good angel In the guise
of a woman friend bad me try Postum
Food Code in place of coffee.
"Always trying to be progressive In my
dally life I accepted the advice and th
result was I found Postum a delicious
clear coffee colored beverag suited to the
stomach and satisfying to th appetite.
After using Postum faithfully for a month
X was surprised at the result in my health.
All symptoms of dyspepsia or nervousness
had disappeared and because of this mark
d benefit I reasoned that If such a simple
and Inexpensive remedy could prove such
benefit in my case why waa it not my
duty to let other sufferers know about
Postum. So I began to try to help my
friends and I have helped many to shake
off sickness by recommending Postum In
place of coffe.
"There was on who was a vlotlm of
nervous dyspepsia and who oraved coffee
to such an extent that he invariably drank
It In spit of medical advice not to do so
and I could not persuade him to change,
so I got his wife to give him Postum In
th morning for a few days without say
Ing anything to hire about It Th result
was really wonderful. He did not detect
the change but aotloed that he got over
his indigestion. Then w told hlra th
truth about It and now he takes his Pos
turn regularly and la so far relieved of
his nervousness that his physician predicts
a speedy cur. He Ukea th Postum just
as well a h used to love th ooffe.
Nam ylvea by Postum Oa, BatU Creek,
it ther chained for miles until a file
could b obtained and the Irons cut away.
Ha had some difficulty In prorlnr that ne
wan act the real prisoner, as com of tha
constables along the line were Inclined to
think that the captor had accidentally
bean left behind. Ecklund la wanted for
holding up passengers on a street car. lie
waa twice arrested, but not convicted.
WYOMING OIL SYNDICATE
Claims Ovraed la Omaha Shovrlng
Tp Well, Though Develop
ment Is Blow.
Several favorable reports of oil strikes
and prospects were made at the meeting
of the Omaha-Wyoming Oil syndicate last
night. A report was also received that the
Atlantio and Pacific Oil company and the
American Consolidated Oil company, to
which companies the Omaha-Wyoming Oil
syndicate last year leased about 6.000 acres
of land, may not comply with all the con
ditions of the leases. A committee was ap
pointed to immediately Investigate and re
port at a meeting to be held at 150T Howard
street, September 4. The matters at Issue
are th doing of assessment work on some
of the claims, and th non-selling of oil
which It Is alleged might profitably be
placed on the market at this time.
Arrangements will probably be made at
the next meeting for. a committee of mem
bers to visit the syndicate's properties, con
sisting of about 12,000 acres In the Evans
ton (Wyo.) oil fields, and report on them.
Originally 10S Omaha men were Interested
In the syndicate, but the number has been
somewhat decreased by some members sell
ing out their Interests to other members.
No stock has yet been Issued and on ac
count of existing conditions It is probable
that none will be Issued until some time
next year. General reports from the Ev-
anston field, especially on Omaha claims
and those near or adjoining them, are fa
vorable, though development work Is not
progressing as rapidly as was expected last
spring. Members of the syndicate at the
meeting last night, however, expressed per
feet confidence that by holding their claims
and with proper management the shares
will be very profitable.
BRYANTS ARM IS BADLY CUT
Outcome of av Stabbing Affray Be
tween Negro and White Man
Over a Woman.
A boy called at police headquarters yes
terday afternoon and reported that two col
ored men were fighting In the rear of the
saloon at 1209 Do-'ire street. An officer was
dispatched to tbo scene, but when he ar
rived the men had disappeared. After
making an Investigation he discovered some
blood on the walk. This he followed and
It led him to a cottage In the neighborhood
where William Bryant was found with a
badly cut wrist. Bryant would give no ex
planation of the difficulty further than to
say that he had been talking with a woman
In the rear 'of the saloon when a white
man slipped up behind him and Stabbed
him In the arm. Th knife penetrated the
man's right forearm near th wrist almost
to the bone. Bryant was hauled to the
station In the patrol wagon, where the
wound was dressed by Polloe Burgeon Mao-
Dlarmld.

BREAKS PLEDGE NOT TO DRINK
signs Obligation la Presence of
Priest and Gets Penalty for
Drankenness Nest Day.
William Cook was fined thirty days In
police court yesterday for being drunk.
But there are other things about the busi
ness more sad than the thirty day a In
pocket of his well-worn coat was found a
soiled paper which was In fact a pledge
signed only the day of his arrest, and wit
nessed by Father Williams of St. Barnabas
church. Cook had solemnly obligated him
self with msny fortifying phrases and
strong words, to abstain from all spirituous

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Great Western Offioiali Look Orer Union
Taoifio Terminal.
MORE TRACKAGE IS NEEDED JUST NOW
At Least Foar Mala Llaa Tracks Be
tweea Omaha and loath Omaha
Will Be Required to
Handle Basin.
Testerday afternoon a party of officials
from the Great Western and th Union Pa
cific visited South Omaha and looked over
the terminal facilities. The Great Western
expects to get Into South Omaha by the
middle of September. .It was agreed that
more trackage facilities must be provided.
At the present time only two main tracks
are In operation between Omaha and South
Omaha. With tha Rock Island, Missouri
Pacific, Milwaukee and Union Pacific using
these two tracks th Oreat Western will
be handicapped. Officials of the companies
Interested say that if trains are to be sent
out on time more trackage will be neces
sary, as now there Is no room In th yards
to make up trains, all of the tracks being
crowded all of the time. In fact. It Is up to
the city to make room for these tracks.
The plan now Is to lay four tracks between
Omaha and South Omaha. This will be
don provided the city will consent to va
cate th stub ends of certain streets In the
northern portion of the city. These stub
ends have never been graded and are not
In use except to pasture family cows.
Should the city consent to th vacating of
these stub ends of streets the railroads will
ask for Railroad avenue from L street on
the north to Q street on the south. This
will mean the construction of a viaduct
across the tracks and the fencing In of
Railroad avenue from L to Q street.
It Is expected that the attention of th
city council will be called to this matter
at the first meeting In September. There
appears to be a sentiment In favor of a
viaduct across th tracks and the members
of the council seem willing to make any
reasonable concessions In order to secure
the construction of this much talked about
bridge.
Police Hold Bnapect.
Acting Chief Elsfelder and Officer Morton
located John Neal, colored, yesterday and
are holding him on suspicion. Elsfelder
says that Neal Is wanted In St. Joseph for
murder, but has no particulars. Last even
ing Elsfelder telephoned to St. Joseph and
gave a description of Neal and the order
came back to hold him until further ad
vised. The police here have no details of
tha crime which Neal Is wanted for, but
they can hold him on suspicion for four
days. This will give the St. Joseph police
plenty of time to come and Identify the
man. .
Assignment of Teachers.
Superintendent McLean of th publto
schools stated yesterday to a Bee reporter
that he had not completed the assignment
bf teachers. He did say that the list was
being prepared and that it would be made
public one week before the public schools
opened on September 1. The Idea of hold
ing back the assignment list Is to prevent
complaints of .teachers who do not Ilka th
assignment given them. So far 114 teachers
have been employed and also a muain
teacher.
Teachers Mast Report.
Superintendent McLean said yesterday
that th teachers elected by the Board of
Education should report to him at the high
school building as soon as possible. ' Some
of th . teachers are resuming from their
summer vacations and In order to make out
the assignments H is neoessary for the
superintendent to know how many teachers
are ready for duty. The superintendent
says that he will be at his office every
forenoon from o'clock until noon.
Frank Inquest Today.
Coroner Bralley visited South Omaha yes
terday and Impaneled a Jury to serve on
the D. W. Frank case. The Inquest will
be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at
Brewer's undertaking rooms. About a
dosen witnesses have been called to testify.
It is stated that the reason tha light at
Eighteenth and Q streets went out ' was
because some boys had thrown bailing wire
over the telephone and eleotrio light wire.
It was while trying to remove this ob
struction to the current that Frank was
killed.
Tornlng Back Feeders.
Reports from th ranges received at the
stock yards her show that ranchmen are
turning feeder stock back onto the ranges.
One day this week on large Omaha cattle
company had a big bunch of feeders ready
to ship, but the condition of the market
did not warrant -sending the stuff at this
time and so th herds wer Sent back to
the ranges. It looks now as It the feeder
market would be slow for some time. As
long as the ranges remain good ranchmen
propose holding their feeder stuff. Later on
In the season when the feeder market picks
up big receipts are looked for tier.
Ball Gam Today.
This afternoon at Jetter's park, Twenty

The detailed prospectus of The Twentieth Century Farme
for the year 1903-4 will be Issued shortly, but In the interval its
publishers ' desire to announce that the steady improvement
shown In that publication from its Inception will be still more
marked in the coming twelve months, keeping fully abreast with
the rapidly expanding subscription list and the regularly increas
ing advertising patronage. The Twentieth Century Farmer has
forged, to the front as the most up-to-date and popular agricul
tural weekly in the country, typical in every feature of the push
and enterprise of the western farmer. It will appeal to every
member of the farmer's family and to every one interested in
rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great' stock raising
industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how
ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed
toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. The
big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century Farmer
will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will
review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits.
Those who are not familiar with the paper should write for
sample copies, and advertising rates. No one interested in west
ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth
Century Farmer from week to week and no one who wants to
reach the most intelligent members of the farming communities
of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Bouth Dakota, Wyoming,
Colorado and adjoining states can afford not to use its advertis
ing columns.

letter reciting that in April the old coun
cil had set aside S6,64S out of the reners.l
fund to pay the expenses of the depart
ments of treasurer, city clerk, tax commis
sioner and comptroller, wholly ignoring
the other departments. He said, further,
that the municipal government woull be
sadly orlppled by the discrimination, ow
ing to tho shortage of funds.
1 no mayor recommenaea aiso mi
ordered M-t aside for Ak-Bar-Ben Illumina
tion be returned to the general fund and
used in paying the salaries of city em
ployes, allowing the Ak-Sar-Ben governors
to wait until next year for reimburse
ment. Chairman Huntington of th finance com
mittee reported favorably on th mayor's
recommendations, and resolutions restor
ing th amounts to th general fund were
adopted.
Rale Ar Experimental.
Th rules governing the market house ar
experimental and will be changed or
amended If not found satisfactory. Rental
is to be 11. SO cents and 10 cant a day,
according to the location of the stalls, the
minimum being for space on th street to
the east of th building, twenty-four stalls
being thus provided. A premium will be

INSISTS ON CITY ROCK PILE
Councilman Nicholson Says He Is Da.
termlned Omaha Shall Have
Sue aa Atlraetlon.
Councilman Nicholson says he Is deter,
mined to have a rock pile for city prisoners.
Statements as to Its Impracticability do not
make much impression on him.
"Street Commissioner Hummel tells me
that he ha enough stone picked up about
town and stored away to run the rock pile
tor two years," h say. "All th expense
th city would have to pay would bo to
erect a, tight-board fence and for th ser
vices of a superintendent of the yard.
Crushed rock Is always in demand by the
street department' and' there is never a
Urns when It cannot be used to advantage.
There is no question whatever but that the
etoneyard would save the city money and
at th sam time keep vagrants and petty
thieve away from the town."
