type of rowing which she has practiced
so successfully at the Poughkeepsle races
In past vem-a, when today her 'varsity
oarsmen defented the Harvard university
elgh-oared crew on the Charles river by
six and one-half lengths. The crimson
oarsmen could do little against the Ithaca

Ishlng a rule that no women snail nlav on

or on holidays. They assert that this is
curtailing their privileges too much. The
men, on the other hand, maintain that they
have nothing avcilnst the women, but that
Saturday and Sunday are the only days In
the week on which many of them can plav
tnd that the links are alwavs crowded at
that time anyway, and to have a foursome
of women going over the course blocks the
play and delays the game too much. This
rule Is said to be In vogue in many of the
astern clubs and the members of the com
mittee were seriously considering It at the
Field club. The membership of the Field
club Is 600. and on pleasant days the links
are crowded to the limit with the men who
are playing match games and do not like
to be bothered with the women.

Committees In charge of affairs report
that everything will be In readiness for,
the twenty-seventh annual tournament sj
the Iowa Etat? Flremen'a association, whl.-h
will be held at Council Bluffs June , 7 8
and . A perusal of the program which
has been prepared for the four days shows
that the management left no stone un
turned to make this one of the most suc
cessful In the history of the association.
Cash prises aggregating $3,500 will be
given for merits In some twenty special
races, drills and parades.
There will be special runs to flies, Involv
ing races between paid departments, show
ing companies In their stations, horses In
stalls, men In their bunks. The alarm Is
given, departments make hitch, run one
half mile and lay hose. Complete repro.
ductlon of runs to fires will be given. There
will be sensational hub and hub races by
the best teams of the state. Illuminated
street runs will be given by the Council
Bluffs fire department at night. Those runs
will be among the most thrilling and spec
tacular exhibitions during the tournament.
For these purposes the longest, the widest
and the best paved streets have been se
lected. The department wagons will be
Illuminated with flaring torches and the
runs are made with terrific speed In the
presence of thousands of people who line
the streets on both sides. Covalt's famous
Lake Manawa band will furnish the music.
All of the stunts which belong distinct
ively to the firemen will take place at the
fair grounds, known as t'nlon park, and
the parades and Illuminated street runs will
occur on the paved streets of the city. Spe
cial rates have been granted by all rail
roads running Into Council Bluffs and
plenty of fun and amusement has been pre
pared for all who cnnie to the tournament.
And. ns if the management were fearful
that four days and four nights of almost
uninterrupted entertainment were not suf
ficient for the tens of thousands who will
nttend the tournament, the management
has closed a contract with Barney Old
field and his famous "Green Dragon" to
give an exhibition on June 7 and 8. Old-
field will take part In the parades nnd will
run his gasoline monster against time on
the field. As Is well known, Oldfleld holds
the world's records for distances from mile
to fifty miles. Since the announcement
that he will take part In the tournament
correspondence has been received from
scores of automobile enthusiasts requesting
that a series of automobile races be ar
ranged, and It Is practically assured that
further Interest will be added to the al
rendy crowded program of events by a
half dozen automobile races.
A meeting of the automobile men of
Omaha was held last week and It was de
cided to do all possible to aid the fire
men In making the race feature of tho
tournament a success. Besides the exhlbi.
tlons of Barney Oldfleld a program of races
will be prepared, In which many of the
fastest of the local drivers will enter.

CHICAGO, May 27-Ten thousand per

of spectators a high wire fence had been

unruly racers might not kill and malm.
Tne Hist race, the three-mile novelty, was
unique In Its requirements. The machines,
all touring c.irs. carried three passengers

Q nest Ion of H ivr Much
hat of Any . In England.
LONDON, May 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) At Conway this week Lord
Donoughmore, under secretary for war, ad.
dressing a public meeting said that h
made no apology for discussing the fiscal
question, though no less an authority than
Mr. Asqulth had said that It had been
fully discussed
The broad line of distinction was not
between the extreme tariff reformers and
the moderate fiscal reformers, but between
the radicals who said there should be no
change, and the unionist party, who said
there must bo some change. That was the
real issue before the country, and It was
no business of their opponents whether
the unionist party did not choose the ques
tion of degree so long as they opposed
them on the whole question of principle.
He described as absurd the statement that
the movement for a closer union with the
colonies was a red herring to 'divert the
attention of the country from the record
of the government. It was an Idea which
owed Its origin to the colonies and was
growing in popularity with the colonies.
The delegates to the coming conference
must enter upon their duties unfettered
except for certain obvious limitations. The
colonies realized that with England's small
acreago and teemlrg population any In
crease In the price of living would be out
of the question. On the other hand, It
was fully realized that the fiscal condi
tions of the colonies required that there
should be duties on certain articles.

of a town clerk. The lord provost read.
a lettci from Mr. Prescott of Fulham,
withdrawing his candidature for the post
and a motion was then tabled that tho
office be restricted to Scotch lawyers. This
the senior members strongly opposed and
the lord provost frequently had to Inter

the one ride it was contended that
it was an Insult to Scotch Intelligence to
go to England for a town clerk, and on
the other It was urged that the door
should be kept open to the best qualified
men. I itlmately the council, by a large
majority, decided against there being any
national restriction and appointed a com

MOVE TO WIDEN RIVER ROAD
Farmers, Business Men. Aato and
Horsemen Join In Florence
Petition.
Initiated by tho Farmers' club at Flor
ence and supported by the mayor, city
council, business men and gardeners of
Florence, automoblliats and horsemen of
Omaha, a movement is being waged for
the widening of RIVr road, leading Into
Florence. It Is now twenty feet In width
and the desire Is that It be doubled. It Is u
county road and all save one county com
missioner, Peter Hofeldt, have signified
their approval of the plan.
John Tldemann, secretary of the Farm-
era' club, is giving the matter his personal
attention, acting for the combined Inter
ests. Mr. Tldemann has petitions signed
by the city officials, farmers, gardeners
and many taxpayers praying for this im
provement, and he says petitions are at
the automobile headquarters of Powell and
Fredrlckson In Omaha.
The promoters of this Improvement say
River road Is entirely too narrow now to
be safe, since, owing to Its location and
topography, It Is a most attractive drive
way and therefore extensively patronized.
Twenty feet In width, they declare, makes
a very unsafe passageway for country
teams and automobiles. Runaways are
not of Infrequent otv irence. Aside from
Its narrowness the road Is pronounced dun
serous because of the steep hillside to the
west and the low bottom to the east.
forming, In places, a road where It Is next
to Impossible for two conveyances to pass,
"We have observed that near election
time some Improvements have been pul
on this road," said Mr. Tldemann, "but
that won't do; this generation wilt not see
the road fixed as It should be that way.
Farmers and gardeners north of Florence
are aroused and want the road widened to
forty feet this season."
Already the farmers and citizens of Flor
ence have subscribed between $400 and 1500
toward paying for this Improvement, the
entire cost of which It Is estimated would
be about r.000. With this, and the further
aid that will be given the county, it Is
urged, could well afford to go ahead with
the work. The men behind the movement
point out that this road would make the
finest and most picturesque driveway In
the county. It passes by the water works
plant, Pries lake, Ponca school house,
leads to Calhoun road and Forest Lawn
cemetery, and connects with tho Omaha
boulevard.
At a recent meeting the Omaha Drlvtr.g
club formally endorsed this movement and
Omaha automobile men have given and
are giving It their hearty support.
MURRAYS HAD STOLEN RINGS
St. Joseph Connie Taken In Otnahn
After Pawnlnn Jewelry at
Various Places.
Edward and Tearl Murray, who travel In
the wake of street shows and who ere sup
posed to be man and wife, were arrested in
the Victoria hotel as suspicious characters
and It was afterward developed that they
had pawned In this city a large number of
valuable rings. It Is claimed that these
rings are a part of fifty-two that were
stolen from G. H. McKelvey, a St. Joseph,
Mo.. Jeweler by window smashers on May
10. Detective P. J. Ryan of the St. Joseph
police took the Murrays back to that city
last night. The stolen rings were valued at
1612. Fifteen rings pawned by the Murrays
were recovered in Omaha by Detectives
Heltfeld and Donahue. There are reasons
fnr believing that the Murrays are go-be
tweens In the disposition of the rings and
that they know who committed the robbery
in St. Joseph. They refuse to tell to the
satisfaction of the police how they obtained
possession of the rings.

(From a Staff Correspondents
WASHINGTON. D. C, May 27. (Spe
cial Telegram.) F. J. Hnggenbarth of Salt
Iake City, president of the National Live
Stock association, Is In Washington to of
ficially urge upon the president the con
sideration of reciprocity treaties In his
messnge to congress bearing upon the
question of meats. Remarkable ns It may
seem, Mr. Haggenbarth Insists that there
haa been a loss of JlOO.Oro.OiiO to the live
stock Interests of the I'nlted States In the
last five years, due Inrgely to the failure
of congress to appreciate the exactions of
foreign countries so far as the export meat
trade Is concerned. Of this fioo.ooo.ono a
loss of MO.OOO.IVV) Is set against Germany
and 10.onO,Mm against France. Mr. Hag
genbarth said today that unless some
remedial legislation Is enacted by which
packers of meat could be encouraged In
their business Ave years would see a con
dition of affairs, so fnr as the cattle grow
ing Interests are concerned, which would
startle the world. He made the point that
the trouble and contention over prices of
beef must be 'aid at the door of the con
sumer. "tinder present conditions less thnn 2li
per cent of the beef carcass brings any
thing like a fair price, by reason of the
Insistence of the American people that
they must have the prime cuts from the
beef," snld Mr. Haggenbarth. "The pack
ers, realizing that this discrimination Is
growing constantly, ni-e dumbfounded as
to what Is best to be done In view of the
determination of foreign governments to
exclude tinned meats which must b" made
up from the seconds' of beef. Because of
the failure of the Cnlted States to ex
tend to foreign governments concessions
for their manufactured products I can
easily see the termination of thn packing
Industry In this country nnd the cattle
raiser go wholly out of business, t'nder
these circumstances it behooves President
Roosevelt to urge upon congress the ne
cessity of entering Into reciprocal trade re
latlonn with foreign governments, Ger
many. France, England and Russia, so
that the packer may be able to use up the
rejected portions of beef for foreign con
sumption. The live stock growrr Is not
getting anywhere near what his cattle are
worth and the American people are paying
fancy prices for their meats. It seems to
me, therefore, that good common sense
would demand that we enter into favorable
treaties with European countries looking
to the preservation of our trade with those
countries."
Gcnernl ComtnB; West,
Brigadier General John F. Weston, com
missary general, has left Washington on a
tour of Inspection and Investigation. His
purpose is to visit the great packing
centers of the country. Including stops at
Omaha, St. Louis. Chicago and Kansas
City. General Weston Is determined. If
possible, to Improve the system now In
vogue of purchasing meat, flour and other
supplies for the army, not only in the Phil
ippines, but throughout the entire country
as well.

MAY CORN IS LOWER AGAIN
Formers Hashing t.rnln to Market
Stop Plan to Corner Visible
Supply,
CHICAGO, May 27. -Another sensational
breuk of M cents in the price of corn for
May delivery makes a total decline for
that option during the past three days of
nearly 20c a bushel. At the opening of
trading on Thursday May corn sold at fiSc
a bushel. When the Html gong sounded
today sellers wore willing and anxious to
take 4!c a bushel for coin, to be de
livered before June I. The severe slump
marked the end of an attempt by several
prominent traders to "corner" the mar
ket. The apparent cause of the abandon
ment of the deal was the alacrity with
which farmers throughout the cen
tral west took advantage of the extraordi
narily high prices prevailing In tho Chi
cago market to get rid of their surplus
corn. Receipts of the yellow cereal at this
grain center during the past week have
increased at an amazing rate, arrivals to
day lielng 8."il cars, out of which number
532 cars were suitable for delivery on May
contracts, and it was generally expected
with extremely heavy movement would
continue throughout the remainder of the
month. The market today was weak the
entire session. At the opening tho prlesj
was off Sc at 5.V. The price continued to
recede tip to the close, when sales were
made nt tP'.c.

The disease that ha9 done more
than any other to wreck, ruin and humiliate life,
is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go hand in
hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated and fought it as
he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; no matter
how pure the blood may be, when its virus enters, the entire circulation
becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usually
the first sign is a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance,
but the blood is being saturated with the deadly poison, and soon the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption
breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make their
appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks
the nerves. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from
parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny
constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has
been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from usiug the toilet articles of
one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the
blood must be purified, and nothing will do it so
quickly and surely as S. S. S. It goes down to the
of the poison and makes the blood clean and strong.
It does not hide or cover up anvthine. but from the
first begins to expel the poison and build up and strengthen the system.
