The year of 1904 is fast Bearing a close. We hare still a large

Instead of invoicing these goods we would rather take our loss
now, therefore make the following great reductions, which are

and running . all morning, but the wind
lilted the tracks "at bad points and made
the effort a almost useless.
The telegraph and telephone companlea
were In trouble, but the down town service
of the latter being underground was little
affected. The through Chicago and Minne
apolis grain wires were working very
badly and the. commission houses were
hardly In touch with Chicago and got very
little Information.
The Ice men like thla sort of thing they
are always aa mean aa they can be. The
year ao far has been very poor for them,
but a few daya of thla will Insure the ics
crop of 1906.
The plumbers are In a desperate
way, ' The . telephone bells that are
In the shops of these magnates burr
with one lone, steady Jangle. It Is water
pipes that have gone out and got them
aelres too full of Ice. Also the furnace
men are having the time of their Uvea ex
plaining why the pips to the northwest
chamber la pouring out a thin chill draft
that makes the teeth chatter. The coal
dealers sre as cheery and hopeful as a
man with three aces, and the ooul con
sumer la wondering why so much of the
black jewelry goes tnto the rurnace and ao
little but ashes and frigid disappol.ument

. Railroads Are II It, Hard.
RalUoad achedulea yesterday were riddled '
by the storm and all traina houra late. I
A rush wss made for trains by holiday I

mated appearance. There has, however, I
been no danger of missing trains. Not a
traln Is running on time.
To add to the difficulty of the situation
all the switches In the yards are frozen up
and It la difficult to keep them open long 1
enough to get- traina moving in and out of
the atatlon. Extra forcea of men were
employed all day thawing out the switch -and
keeping them-clear of the Ice a..
snow.
No. 11 on the Union Paclflo was held up
In the yards for nearly an hour yester
day, although the men worked like slaves
to keep the switches open and the tracks
clear. . No. 1, the Overland Llm.ted, left
Omaha over two hours lute, and Nos. 4, 12
and I were also held up until they were
nearly two hours late. On the Northwest
ern, the Illinois Central, tha Wujmsh, Rock
Island, Great Western and the Missouri
Pacific tha situation was the same, and
it mattered little whether trains were east
or west bound. ' No. 412, east bound on the
Rock, Island, waa reported five hours late
and every few minutes the tickers In the
telegraph atation were Increasing the de
lay. An engineer of one of the west-bourld
trains said Juat before aiartlng out:
'There'll be h 11 to pay before we get to
the other end of the division today. I don't
remembeiya time when I hated to open the
throttle aa I do this moralng. I can put
up with a breakdown, because that'a aoma
thlng you can fix and get along with .In
some sort of shape. There's no fixing to
be dona When you get mixed up In a storm
Ilka thla."
The engineer wiped the end of his oil
can en his sleeve, swuug himself Into the
cab. gave a few directions to the Art nun
and with a puff and a snort tha big ma
chine started for a tangle of switches In
tha yards, it waa a characteristic acene
and was repeated with practically every
train that pulled out of the city.

PORTLAND, Dec. 7. The federal grand
jury returned seven Indictments today In
connection with the land fraud casea now
under Invtstlgatlon. The large number
and the prominence of three of the num
ber, with the two mysterious "Joe Doe"
indictments, make the day the most sen
sational since the Jury reconvened In its
present sessions.
The most Important la the Indictment
againat Dr. William H. Davis, mayor of
Albany, Ore. Second to thla. and of hardly
jess Importance ar those of Solomon li.
ormsby, formerly a government agent,
and Clark E. Loomis, at ons timet forest
superintendent. Henry A. Young and
OeW Sonnaon are not ao well known.

P"catea, wnose true names the jury does
not know. It will be recalled that two
mysterious personages figured prominently
In the Indictment returned againat State
Senator Franklin P. Mays last week. The
charge in the Indictment returned today
Is that the Indicted men entered Into
conspiracy on December 2D, 1901, having as
htlr object the defrauding of the govern
ent out of a portion of Its public lands
y means of forged applications, false and
lorged affidavits and proofs of ohmestead
entry and settlement.
It la charged that In furtherance of the
conspiracy William II. Davla swora to an
affidavit before S. B. Ormsby, In which he
said ht had resided upon the claim taken
by him a the law required and that the
conspiracy was a part of one entered on
by S. A. Puter, Horace O. McKlnley, H.
D. Tarpley and Emma L. Wataon.
In the indictment returned William H.
Davla, mayor of Albany," and chairman of
the republican central commlttte of Lynn
county, is the central figure. Ormsby and
Lewis, Borenson and Young have all been
before the public; from the opening of the
land fraud trial several wteks ago, but
Davis had not been connected with the
case until the latter part of the week was
passed.

Fears were entertained yesterday that
the cold would prevent a large attendance

these feara were materially dispelled when
large delegations arrived and word was
given out that still larger numbers would

well, president of the association, now
thinks the attendance will be large.
Omaha educators hava no thought of
trying to retain the state meeting In Omaha
nest year, it is announced, but are willing
It should return to Lincoln if the assocla
tlon so desires. That the city will expect
to alternate with the capital city In the
annual, gatherings hereafter Is tacked on
to this generous concession, however. 8o
far as new officers are concerned, it la
stated that no campaigning had been done
and nothing worthy of the term contest yet
manifested Itself along these lines.'

In the high school .this afternoon,
the general sessions -will not begin until
this evening In the First Methodist
church at Twentieth and Davenport rtreeta.

Madison In Total Darkness!
The late reports from Wisconsin are that
the storm war the most severe ever known
In that section of the country. Damage in
the city of Madison is estimated at IIOO.OOJ
and It is thought that that estimate will
be too' low. AH traina In the center of the
state are delayed for many hours and some
o fthem have been abandoned entirely.
One train on the Chicago & Northwestern
road was lost for several hours and the
dispatcher waa unable to get any. trace
of it. It finally reached Madison several
hours late. The city of Madiaon Is to
night In total darkness because the eleo
,rl "Sht wires have all been blown to
the ground. Street cars were compelled
to cease opers lions early In the .day and
will not be able to resume for a number of
days.
La Crosse, Wis., and other cities in that
section of the country report conditions
similar to those In' Madison.
In Indiana the damage by the atorm is
estimated r ln the hundreds of thousands.
The damage was especially heavy in the
oil fields, whfcre fully 500 derricks Were
blown down and all operation suspended,
Near M uncle, Frank : Cavanaugh was
Jellied by a falling derrick. The loss on
derricks alone In the neighborhood- of Mun-

WRONQ IDEA.
Don't get the wrong Idea Into your head
that starvation Is good for Dyspepsia.
It' not.
Those who bave not studied the subject
very deeply, or wun trained sclentlfio

But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists In stomach and digestive
disorders know, that it is best for dys

Why, dyspepsia is really a starvation dis

Your food don't feed you.
By starvation, you may give your bowel
and kidneys ,ks to do, but that do not
cure your digestive trouble simply make
you weaker and sicker less likely to be
permanently cured than ever.
No, the only right way to permanently
cure yourself of any form of dyspepsia or
Indigestive trouble, I to eat heartily of all

Storm la New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 77.-Raln and sleet, fol
lowing the heavy snow storm that played
havoc with transportation facilities and
the telegraph service.
Falling on top of the snow-covered pave
ments and aidewalka, the rain has formed
a hard crust of ice, and New York today
was like a great skating pond. The rails
of the surface cars and elevated trains
were so slippery that no effort waa made
to keep anything like schedule time. The
suburban trolley lines were almost par
alyzed and trains were reported late on
every line. Telegraph and telephone wires
were crippled to an extent that could not
be eatlmated early today. In addition to
the delay caused by the sleet storm, the
congested traffic of the upper harbor and
the North and Eaat rivers, crowded with
ferry boats, waa hampered by a dense fog,
which wrapped the city and harbor In
blinding folda.
A collision on the river resulted from the
thick weather during the morning rush
hour. The ferryboat Chicago, of the Penn
sylvania line, loaded down with commu
ters, was run tnto by the New Haven rail
road's big steam transport, Maryland, In
the North river, Just off the Cortlandt
street slip of the Pennsylvania ferry. The
transport crashed Into the rear of the
ferryboat and tore away a large part of
the deckwork over the stern. No aerlous
damage was done the hull. Among the
crowd of passengers on the Chicago were
many women and a pania ensued. Many
of the women fainted, but no one waa In
jured. While a dense fog hung over the river
and harbor this afternoon tha fnrrvhnnta
Bergen and Musconetcong, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western line, crashed
into each other near the Hohoken ferry
slips and for a few minutea there waa a
wild panic on both boats.
The Bergen had left the New York side
and was approaching the New Jersey side
under reduced speed when the Musconet
cong, putting on full speed, crashed Into
It. Except for slight bruises, no one was
hurt and neither boat waa aerlously Injured,
