THE OMAHA DAfLY BEE: THURSDAY. JANUARY 12, 100.". MIAlTl INDIAN WAREHOUSE Piblio Serrlea . Would 8uffef Wert th Plant Hm Abandoned. MERCENARY fIGHT Of EASTERN J9BBERS i ' i ii Efforts tti Dlarontlanc the Depot Made la York unit hicnmn Urplte avlaa; ArrimiplUhrd Inder the Pmrnl Jfitun. Efforts of ChlOHiru arvl New York Job ber to wipe out the Indian supply depots at Omaha ami Bt. Lout In the interests of wholesalers st the larger points have again been defeated Itt congress. An at tempt to cripple the service by reducing the appropriation available for the support of the depots has apparently succedd. The Importance of the local depot to the service has already been demonstrated, and the growth of the business done at this point Indicates the wisdom of maintaining the plant here. R. C. Jordan, superintendent of the waie house In this city, Is unwilling to Elve an interview on the topic, but s.ild: "I have no hesitation, howevrr. In saying that we will handle this year about I150.0N) worth of aupplies more than was done last year by this warehouse. We supply every thing that is needed at the Indian schools and the Indian agencies and these things are bought In the local markets. The sup plies Include provisions, hardware, sad dlery, plumbers' supplies, crockery and other commodities." Opposition Is Mercenary. One of the strongest agencies represented In the fight at Washington was the Com mercial club. One of the members said: 'Chicago and New York wanted to have the Omaha depot closed up for merce nary reasons. This Is the proper location for such a warehouse and they are afraid of us. By closing up the warehouse here and the one at Bt. Ixiuls It would have forced to these cities a large amount of business which now comes here. The warehouse ought to stay here. It Is di rectly to the Interest of the government to have It located here. Omaha Is 800 miles nearer to every point of destination for Indian supplies west of the Mississippi than la Chicago and 1,500 miles nearer than la New York. There Is no room for ar gument on this point. The situation speaks for itself. "In advertising for supplies to be de livered at Omaha the government obtains the benefit of competition for the con tracts on the part of all the dealers In the .Omaha market. Should the Omaha warehouse be discontinued, not one of these dealers could afford to bid for delivery to the Chicago warehouse, whereas every Chi cago and New York dealer can afford to bid for delivery at Omaha. As a result of this competition the first cost of the sup plies delivered at Omaha Is very much cheapened. Every pound of supplies shipped from ' the Omaha warehouse Is transported 600 miles less than If It had been shipped from Chicago. Necessarily, therefore, the freight charges are less from here than they would be If Ihey were hipped from Chicago. "Another advantage favorable to Omaha as against Chicago Is the fact that all business handled through Chicago Is sub ject to delays, risks and the additional cost entailed by these Items. This 1b due to the fact that thr growth of business In Chicago has outstripped the facilities of all the public servants, such as railroads, express companies and dray lines. In Omaha the same business can be handled at a minimum of time, risk and cost. Dur ing the six months ending June 90, 1904, the Omaha warehouae . handled UH9.TU pounds of supplies at an expense of $6,895.90. For the six months ending December 31 the number of pounds handled had Increased to 8,301,24.1 at a cost of $3,452.44. The value of the supplies handled for the year was $00,023.96."

RECENT CONGRESS A MOVE T SUCCESS Captain Seth Bnlleek Talks Aboat the leathering at Washlna-ton and the Good It Will Accomplish. Cnptaln Seth Bullock of South Dakota, supervisor of the Black Hills forest re serves, was visiting around among Omaha acquaintances yesterday. He had Just re turned from an engagement with the things the east has on tap for the edification of tenderfeet from the west, but had escaped damage from lobsters, terrapin, champagne and politicians, and was looking as fresh and vigorous, as level-minded and serene In temper and thought as a real pioneer always ought to look. No man of similar wide experience and of equal years crowded full of virile life and altruistic endeavor can hold a candle to Captain Bullock when It comes to looks and to Indulging in ceaseless activity. Like a breese that has come far over the great plains and the eternal hills, he Is odorous of Nature s big wide world and the things of life that never were trammeled with the leading strings of convention. Of the doings of the American Forestry congress, to which he wss a delegate, and of the things it promises to accomplish In the future, the South Dakota veteran spoke with an enthusiasm born of a faith long held and now about to be rewarded. Whole Country Represented. "Nearly every state In the union was represented," said Captain Bullock, "and the men who made up the congress were of the best the different sections afford, so far as real Interest In and practical knowledge of the subject goes. The scien tific side of forestry found presentation at the hands of its ablest students, while perhaps the most significant and encourag ing feature of the whole convention was the coming together on common ground of the long-time friends of forest preservation and the lumbermen who have been for lo these many years active in denuding the forests. There has for the last few years been a growing realization of the need for wise co-operation by all Interests concerned In forestry and lumbering. Never until this convention has the prospect for effec tive working together been very bright. Now It is assured and the results must be good. Posterity will reap the rich Interest of the seed now being sown, because the land will be shortly replanted with trees where it has been ravished of Its largesse and what we have left will be cared for with that faithfulness and wise super vision which have been chiefly marked by their absence in the past. Change Control of Reserves. "One of the first and most necessary steps, the convention agreed. Is to place the forest reserves under the control of the Agricultural department Instead of the Interior department, where control la at present vested. This will be at once beneficial, because of the trained men who will then have the care of these reserves. Trained foresters, working with the Blow thoroughness of the German system, will come later, but at present the principal thought is to safeguard what we have and encourage new growth in every way pos sible. "The thought has occurred to me that eastern men who prate of the forest de struction in the. west, should look about with keener eyes at home. It will not be at all hard to find instances of at least thoughtlessness In this matter of forest destruction, and taking It all around we are doing quite well In the western coun try of late. We were a little slow in wak ing up, perhaps, but we haven't dozed much slnco the bell was rung on our for est nap. "toung Weyerhauser,' son of the lumber king of the country, read a paper at the congress which showed that he grasps the significance and the wisdom of this move ment. He proved himself a man of good Ideas and of forceful ability. It means much to the cause when men of his class get properly Interested and take hold In earnest to help by their influence and ex ample. His father came to this country with only his hands and brain for capital, achieved a great success In the business world, and today his son follows the presi dent of the United States on the program of a. great congress. No other country can offer such a spectacle as that." Good Work In Black Hills. In the South Dakota forest reserves Captain Bullock has under his Immediate control 1,126,000 acres, and with the assist ance of fifteen to twenty rangers he has succeeded to a high degree In preventing waste and In preserving the forest growth which for years had suffered at the hands of unheeding destroyers. In that country the mines depend on the forests for their timber and water both Interdependent In nature's economy and Captain Bullock now has the active co-operation of many men who at flrst were either actively or covertly hostile to the movement for forest preservation. TEN YEARS IN PENITENTIARY Judge Carlnnd Sentences Henry Guitar to Bloox falls for Killing Ills Father.

CHURCH BURNS A MORTGAGE First rona-regatlonal Destroys Last Evidence of Debt Against the Strnctnre. More than ordinary interest centered In the annual meeting of the First Congrega tional church last evening. The members of the church had the pleasure of seeing the torch applied to the mortgage which wiped out the last cent of Indebtedness on the edifice. This event was the climaxing feature to an evening of pleasure. The an nual elections were also held and added to the Interest of tbe meeting. The annual reception woe held first In the spaclojs basement under the Sunday school room. Every inch of the floor space was taken up with long tables, which stretched from end to end qf the hall. Silver, cut glass and China gleamed on the snowy linen and here and there were bouqueUt of flowers. An appetising aroma of coffee pervaded the place and the pyramids of cake gave an Idea of what was coming after the more solid eatables had been disposed of. About 200 people attended the supper, which was served at 6:30 o'clock. The Important event of the evening came after the feast. This was the burning of the document which freed the church from debt. Financially the church has been re markably successful. The edifice, which Is one of the largest structures of the kind in tho city, was built In 1888 at a cost of ISO.0O0, and Incurred a debt of $30,000. The last $20,000 of this amount lias been paid in the last four years. In the last six years the church has raised for various purposes $68,500. The burning of the mortgage was ac complished with very little ceremony. There was Interest enough without much formal ity. Rev. II. C. Herring, the pastor, con gratulated the church upon its good for tune. He said the mortgage has been a means of equalizing the burden of the build ing over a series of years, and that it was also a means of discipline to develop the graces of the church while being an augury of good for the future. He called attention to what the church has accomplished, and Deacon N. M. Howard then applied the torch to the document, which was slowly consumed amid the applause of those pres ent. Rev. Dr. BrosS of Lincoln, state sup erintendent of Congregational missions, was one of the guests of the evening and also made congratulatory remarks. A short business session Interspersed the social pleasures and the following officers were unanimously elected: Deacons, C. W. Pollard and F. O. Clements; deaconess, Miss 8. R. Davis; clerk. Miss P. L. Shurtz; Sunday school superintendent, Frank Craw ford. The board of trustees are: George A. Hoagland, C. C. George, R. C. Hoyt, A. B. Sommers and Charles Harding. A social evening followed the election. CHINESE GAMBLERS RAIDED Simp Don-Is and Slips of Paper the Implements I'sed In the Gnme. A Chinese gambling Joint run by Leo Chlng In the rear of the Chinese store lo cated at 324 South Thirteenth street, was raided at 12:30 this morning by Sergeant Renfrow and Detectives Drummy and Ma loney. The game played Is something sim ilar to the old-time policy and the para phernalia used In placing it consists of four' heavy china soup bowls and a num ber of ellps of paper covered with Chinese hieroglyphics. It is not known Just how the game is played other than that the player draws slips of paper In much tho same manner as they do In a policy game. The slips of paper in this game are mixed up in common, every-day soup bowls In stead of In the large wheel as In policy. The drawing takes place nt midnight, Just as the large clock In the tower of the post office building begins tolling the hour the drawing begins. This Joint has been run ning for some time, but the police had been unable to locate the place until last night. About a week ago some person whose Iden tity has been kept a secret by the police was fleeced out of $200, and he revealed the location of the place to tho officers.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Its value when taken into the human system for the game cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It Is not a urug at all, but simply absorbs ihe goses and Impuri ties always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vesetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison or rather In the form of large, pleasant of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the beat charcoal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter bieath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. i t A Buffalo physician in speaking of th benents of charcoal, says: "i advise Stuart's Chareoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowsls and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of. them; they cost but twenty-flv cents a box at drug stores, and although In soma sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal la Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tabids.'

Stccse, of 701 Coburn St., Akron. Ohio, tells in the following letter of another of those remarkable cure of torturing, dirfiguritig akin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, after physicians, and all else had failed: "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor snfferinR babies to tell yon what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results.. X called in three doe tors, they all claimed they conld help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as if they woulcl drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had usea half of the cake of aoap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body was as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, Instead of seventy-five cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever."
