    THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1904.
' Miss Hapgood tells how she was cured
of Fallopian and Ovarian Inflammation
and escaped an awful operation by using
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound!
"Dear Mjis. Pinkham: I suffered for four years with what the
doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and ova
ritis, which are most distressing and painful ailments, affecting all the
surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life
forces. If you had seen me a year ago; before I began taking Lydia E.
IMnkham's Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the 6unken eyes,
sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and compared that
person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not
wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine,
which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me
from an awful operation." JIiss Ibsn IIapgood, 1022 Sandwich SU
Windsor, Ont.
Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the
Ovaries may result from audden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflamma
tion of the womb, and many other causes. The slightest indication of trouble
with the ovaries, indicated by dull throbbing pain in the side, accompanied
by heat and shooting pains, should claim your instant attention. It will not
cure itself, and a hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from
neglect.
uDab Mrs. Itnkhah: lean truly say that you hare saved
my life, and I cannot express niy gratitude to you in words.
"Before I wrote to you telling how I felt, I had doctored for over
two years steady and spent lots of money in medicine besidss, but it all
failed to do me any good. My menses did not appear in that time, and

Full Supreme Court Haling on
MIckeyAger I.arr Takes Occa
sion to Emphasise Validity
of Scavenger Law.
Tax buyers at the scavenger sale may re
quire all their purchases made In one day
to be Issued to them under one certificate
at a cost to them of 60 cents only.
This Is the decision of Judge Troup on
an application of D. C. Patterson for an
order requiring County Treasurer Fink to
follow such a course. Judge Troup held the
law could not be Interpreted otherwise.
The treasurer up to the time of the order
had refused to InsuS certificates for mors
than one piece of property In cases where
the amount of the bid was not the amount
of the tax. The reason for not doing- so
was the fact lots in different places were
grouped In one certificate would deter pre
mium bidding.
County Treasurer Fink Is In receipt ot
the opinion recently given by the supreme
court against the Mlckey-Ager ' law. In
brief the reasons for which the law was
declared unconstitutional are no Judicial
sale was contemplated, no competitive bid
ding was required, a private sals was prob
able where no one would bid except the
owner. No notice was given. The principal
error, however, lay in the fact that section
4, article , of the constitution' was vio
lated, , which held the legislature had no
right to release or discharge persona or
corporations from their proportionate share
of the tax. Also under section srllcle
ill, the ,law might act to deprive an ownri
of his property without due process of law.
The opinion at the same time Justlflet
the Douglas county scavenger law. 'It sayi
It can hardly be doubted real estate which
has taxes charged against it of mors than
Its value may be sold where proper no
tice Is given, where compeUtlve bidding la

it were allowed to sell property Jhr taxes at

be to exempt property for all time from
taxation. The opinion points out chapter

CUT IN GRAIN RATES EAST
Rsdiition Lotked fsr to Offset Msnepely of
Gulf Traffic
CORN GOING SOUTH EXCLUSIVELY
All Roads with Eastern Ontlets Are
Faille Short oa This Deal
and Retaliation Is
rrcdlcted.
A severe cut in grain rates from Omaha
to New York. Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Newport News, la said to be one of ths
Important probabilities ot ths near future.
At present there Is but one direction
for the flew of Nebraska corn and that
la toward gulf ports with the Missouri
Paclflo and Rock Island enjoying almost
a monopoly of the great business. Each
day tralnloads start for the gulf, there to
be loaded for export to Liverpool. The
result Is the Burlington, Chlcsgo Great
Western and Milwaukee practically not
carrying a bushel of Nebraska's great corn
crop.
The rate schedule now In force gives
the gulf towns the advantage by 6 cents
on the 100 pounds. The rate to Galves
ton, New Orleans and Port Arthur Is IS
cents per 100 pounds, while the through
eastern seaport rates sre 24 cents on the
100 pounds, a prohibitive tariff. The
Illinois Central Is getting some corn for
the gulf ports, but by reason of Its. long
haul, the bulk is going by the Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island.
In discussing this matter a grain shipper
said:
"It will not be more than January 1, or
a little later, before the cut of ( cents
Is made, to bring the, through rate to
the eastern seaboard on a parity with that
of the gulf ports. The cut will be made
from the Mississippi river east, this being
now 18 cents on the 100 pounds, and, of
course, this will apply to grain going
from here. Such a cot Is absolutely
needed, as It will sdjust the forwarding
of corn and give the eastern roads their
percentage of the trade. It is nonsense to
say that Chicago is alarmed at the pre
vailing condition, for a Chicago house has
shipped the greatest amount of corn that
way by Galveston and the Chicago ex
porter always will get his corn o; other
grain to tide water by the cheapest route
available."
Tendency the Other Way.
Regarding the report that a movement is
on foot on the part of the railroad com
panies to buy up the private lines in South
Omaha, at the Union Pacific headquarters
It was said nothing waa known of such a
plan. At the Burlington headquarters one
of the officials said:
"The tendency has been rather ths other
way. The Union Stock Tarda company,
for Instance, has for years been acquiring
all the side lines and other trackage it
has been able to get from us. The Union
Paclflo has a main line running through
the yards, but after our shipments reach
South Omaha they are turned over to the
Terminal company and we have nothing to
do with the haul. The Stock Yards com
pany has bought up all of our tracks
there that It has been able to acquire."

ALL BUT FORTY DOLLARS LEFT
Hotel Gneat Comes Near Losing Entire
Funds While Ha Takes
a Sleep.
Anton Knoll says it Is roolish to at'ach
undue Importance to the things ot this life,
particularly when one goes to town.
Knoll arrived In Omaha Sunday evening
from the cornfields, where for some weckj
he had been husking the king of cereals,
and managed to save $41 after buying a
new suit of clothes and a pocket knife.
Knoll now has but $1. and the police de
partment Is making efforts to find the man
with $40 of Knoll's money.
As soon ss Knoll arrived In Omaha hs
sought shelter st the Windsor hotel, on
South Tenth street. The guest admitted he
had been Imbibing along the way moie or
less of ths distilled extract of corn, but
not to the extent that he would Jump
backwards from a street car or blow the
gas out or retire with his boots on. On
the contrary, Kiuil went to his room in
good order, placed his purse, containing
$41, under his pillow and saw that his door
and another door, the latter leading Into
an adjoining room, were locked, so he
states.
When Knoll awoke with dawn he heard
the noise of street cars passing the hotel
and the cherry call of newsboys announc
ing their wares. He looked out of his
window to the street below and beheld the
vehicles of commerce passing1 to and fro
and the steady tread of a policeman patrol
ing his beat and Knoll felt glad for a few
minutes that he had come to Omaha. He
then reached under his pillow and a ricken-
Ing sensation came over him. His pure
was gone and all but $1 of his assets miss
ing. The door to the next room had been
unlocked during the flight and the k?y
placed In the lock on Knoll's side of the
door, so the stranger maintains. The clerk
at the hotel said the man who occupied thi
next room to Knoll had left a 6:30 call, but
had been seen to leave the hotel at 6:45.
Knoll thinks the man who had the adjoin
ing room took his money. However, Knoll
is not altogether discouraged, as he has $1
left with which to start over again.
SCOPE OF CITY PAVING PLANT
Plans Annonnccd by City Engineer,
Showing What Bids Will
Call For.
The asphalt paving repair plant, for the
construction of which the city will open
bids January 13, is to have a dally capacity
of 600 square yards of two-inch asphalt
paving mixture a day, according to the
specifications prepared by City Engineer
Rosewater. The plant Is to be modern
and first-class in every respect and the
appropriation set aside Is $10,000.
Bids were asked for last fall, but only
one was received. It was for practically
the full amount of the appropriation and
was rejected. The fact that more bidders
did not apepar was attributed to the short
time given for the building of the plant.
Under the present specifications the suc
cessful bidder will have until May 1 to
complete the work.
The plant, according to Engineer Rose-
water, is to be modeled after one In suc
cessful operation by the city of Detroit,
but of a slightly smaller capacity. The
capacity is great enough to handle all
repair work in Omaha and to do small
Jobs of original work. "Nearly all the con
struction called for Is Iron and steel, with
a steel enclosing structure. The sand
drums, melting kettles, boilers and all ap
paratus called for are those most gener
ally approved and found satisfactory, but
no particular style or design is demanded
other than in a general way.
To operate the plant with the best re
sults a laboratory that will cost not to
exceed $600 and a chemist at a salary of
$100 to $126 a month will be necessary.
It la the Intention of the city authori
ties to have the municipal plant in full
operation next summer.
HUNTINGTON 0NJHE DEFENSE
Declares Council Hns Spent No Money
Which It Did Not Actually
Have To.
Councilman Huntington, chairman of the
finance committee. Is anxious to defend
the council against the showing that the
council has been extravagant In the ex
penditure of public funds during the year.
"It cannot be questioned," says Mr.
Huntington, "that every dollar we have
paid out has been spent honestly and for
value received. The sum of $t0,000 or so
which It is said has been spent for street
repairs and grading has gone to make the
streets passable and safe and in com
pliance with loud demands from the peo
ple in various wards. It has saved much
money In the way of Judgments in personal
injury suits, I am sure. We have had to
struggle with the legacy of the I3S0.C00
deficit caused by the attempt to make the
railroads pay heavier taxes. We have
been . continually besieged to spend the
money Just as we have and a great
amount has been paid out, but I don't want
the impression to exist that a single bit of
this money has been squandered."

The tax commissioner has not gone

I. E. Congden, representing Herman

not included such stocks In his return of
117,000 for personal property aside from $16,
000 on household furniture and library.
Members of the board told Mr. C mgdon
they would be glad to have him Institute a
suit to . test the constitutionality of the
clause of the revenue law directing taxa

sents realty and other property In other
states that Is taxed upon theie. Ths

of the United States National bank build
ing. Twelfth and Farnam streets, until the
repairs to the recently collapsed warehoust
building at Ninth and Howard streets are
completed.
'The loss of Indian supplies by the col.
lapse of the building is merely nominal,"
said Mr. Jordan. "Three hundred dollar!
will cover it. I waa a little apprehensive
some time ago that the building was unsafe
and had some four carloads of supplies
shipped out. The responsibility for the loss
has not yet been determined, but at all
events the government will be compensated
for all damages.
"We will rent storage quarters for sup

the old storehouse as soon as it Is repaired.
The accident will not Involve the removal
of the storage depot from here at all. I

EVANS JOINS CONSTITUENTS
Says He Will Heartily Oppose Gas
Tanks Being Built In
Sixth Ward.
Councilman Evans of the Sixth ward has
announced that he will oppose, by all the
means In his power, the construction of gas
manufacturing and distributing tanks by
the Omaha Gas company at Twenty-second
and Burdctte streets.
The company has bought property,
staked It out and has made borings to de
termine how far the foundations will have
to be sunk to bed rock. The district Is
filled up with hundreds of small home
owners who have sent a big petition of re
monstrance to the gas company.
"I think the gas company does not have
to secure the permission ot the city au
thorities to put in these tanks," says
Councilman Evans, "but I shall leave no
meana untried to prevent the construction
of the new plant at this point. I am In
formed the lots bought by the gas com
pany can be sold readily for as much as
was paid. If not more. It Is probable the
defense will take the course of an Injunc
tion and the showing that the tanks will
be a public nuisance and a menace and
damage to property."
It Is said the gas company considers the
new tanks necessary in order to obtain
the proper pressure In distributing gas in
the north part of the city.
