The union Pacific Railroad comDanv will.
It wa slated at the city hall yesterday,
protest against the fiyliB of social tuxes
for the paving of Railroad avenue. This
paving was laid last year and without the
petition for grading and paving having ben
sighed by the railroad company, it was
stated at tbs tlma that a sufficient num
ber of property owners stgn.d the petition
without the necessity of taking the I'nlon
I'aclflc Into consideration. Part of the cost
of this paving, curbing end grading was
paid by the issuing of general bonds and
the balance la to be paid by assessment
aralnst abutting property. The amount as
sessed against the Union Pacific for these
Improvements Is in the neighborhood of
W.00O.
Attorneys for the railroad company have
been busy for several days looking up the
records !t this paving ciise. Just what
line of action Is to be taken was not stated,
but certified copies of all records have
been asked for. It was Intimated by one
of the I'nlon Pacific attorneys Tuesday
that several flaws had been found In the
proceedings and that the railroad company
would bring these to the attention of the
courts when the city made an attempt to
collect the taxes assessed for the paving.
A well known attorney in talking about
this and other j.avlng cases said last even
ing that It seemed as If It was Impossible
to socure any Improvements In South Omaha
without opposition. In many cases the
city officials appear to take all necessary
precautions and are very partlculur about
.lie mat mi(t bii'J
going through all the forms as directed
by the city attorney, and yet when the
tlma come to pay taxes or let contracts
or sell bonds other attorneys find that some
detail has been overlooked and that the
special assessment levied will not hold in
the courts.
Commercial C lab Meeting:.
Lest lhau. three dozen' members of the
uth Omaha '.Commercial club met at
W orkman temple last night to listen to ad
dresses by O. W. Wattles and O. M. Hitch
cock, lioth of these gentlemen from Omaha
talked about municipal Improvements and
told how to make a city grow. Mr.
Wattles spoke along general lines and told
what the Omaha Commercial club bad done
by united action. He declared that If a
community wanted to grow those residing

A great many property owners In the
southwest portion of the city are opposing
ordinances relating to the laying of perina-
nent sidewalks. The reason given for this
is that the city has failed to keep Its
promise regarding the paving of West Q
street. When it was announced that the
city, under the present law could not pave
that portion of Q street from Thirty-third
street west to the city limits a great howl
went up and now every effort that the
council makes to compel the laying of per
manent sidewalks Is met wlthh opposition.
Property owners on T street secured the
repeal of a permanent sidewalk ordinance
and 8 street property owners

ordinances

Monday night st the council meeting Mr.
Klewlt Introduced an ordinance compelling
the electric light snd telegraph companies
to place their wires underground by De
cember 13. 1!. Officers of these companies
declare that even should the ordinance pass
and be signed by the mayor that no atten
tion will be paid to It. Th reason gl'en
Is that the expense would be greatly In
excess of the business done In South
Omaha. From surface Indications the ordi
nance will not pass and even should It be
come a law It will result In litigation.

Improvement Clnb Tonight.
This evening the Northeast Improvement
club will meet at the new high school
building. The meeting Is called for 7:30
o'clock sharp. Members of the club assert
that enough signers have been secured to
the petition for the curbing and guttering
of Twenty-third street as far south as L
street. At the meeting to be held this
evening those present will be asked to de
cide upon the grade so that this feature
may be Included In the curbing and gutter-
far as known. The case at bar arose out
of the purchase by Mr. Seaman In March,
1SP9. of the tax title to the northeast quar
ter of section 2. town 14, range 11, In Doug

NEW RATES0F ARCANUMS
Iteeeat Action of Pnpreme onncll
Calls Forth Meeting; of Loral
Members.
A well attended meeting of t'nlon Pacific
council. Royal Arcanum, was held Monday
night at Arcanum hall. Sixteenth and Har
ney streets, for the purpose of talking
over the new rates of assessment Just
promulgated by the supreme council of
the order at Atlantic City, N. J. The new
rates Involve a material increase In the
assessment of all members and ar re
garded as particularly burdensome upon
the members who have reached advanced
years.
Several of the grand officers were pres
ent to explain the new rates and to Im
press the members with the Importance of
remaining loyal to the order, "the Increase
being made for the better protection of the
members." It was held that the adjust
ment of rates was necessary at this time
because the revenue from the present scale
of assessment during the last two years
was not sufficient to pay the mortality
claims, the surplus In the current cash ac
count had been exhausted and the emer
gency fund trenched upon at the time of
the meeting of the supreme council.
"This made It evident that one of three
things had to be done," said an official,
"either readjust the rates, go back to the
old policy of calling extra assessment or
use up the emergency fund. It finally was
suggested and decided upon that the read
justment of rates on a permanent basis
was the best way out of the dilemma. The
new rate for the present and new mem-

Xot Short on Money.
Preliminary to the trial of the case In
terested parties, lawyers and other were
discussing It, and the statement was made
that A. J. Seaman Is known to have pre
sented a $50,000 certlfle'd treasurer' check
at a sale In Denver when he was buying
some property sold for taxes. He rarely or
never handles money In large amounts.
He prefers and Insists, when possible, that
the cash be paid to the county treasurer
when any one has a settlement to make
with him. The treasurer thus becomes hi
banker, cashier and bookkeeper, and all
his business Is done with treasurers' checks.
If asked where he can be found to dis
cuss business, as he waa In the present
case, Mr. Beaman always names the Toung
Men's Christian association rooms, saying
he never transacts business where he
sleeps. He has been known, say those who
know him best, to walk from one county
seat to another, probably to become ac
quainted with the lay of the land. If

cumulation of reserve, and after he has at
tained 65 years a member pays his own
way for the "remainder of life, and such re.
serve Is accumulated from such payments."
The new rates are applied to attainea
ages Instead of assessed ages, and It Is
held by the supreme council that by plac
ing the rates at attained ages wipes out
the deficit caused by past mistakes and
starts the order anew, all members, young
and old, being placed on the same basis,
with rates not only adequate, but equita
ble, for all age. However, as the new
rates do not go Into effect until October 1,
the members will have plenty of time to
think over the matter.
Members of the order are enjoined to
carefully study the table of rates as re
adjusted, appearing In the June Issue of
the Royal Arcanum Bulletin. There are
five tables of rates made under the read
justment and members may avail of which
ever they prefer.
The question of whether Jack Dally
accosted his wife, who was In the company
of Thomas E. McNeill on the evening of
May 3, at Sixteenth and Nicholas streets.
Is the pivotal point on which hangs one of
the most Interesting cases that haa been
heard In the local police court for some
time.
The case Is one wherein C. W. Wedell of.
1128 North Sixteenth street, on behalf of
his daughter, Mrs. Rose Dally, charge the
girl's husband with disturbing the peace.
The evidence tu the case was all heard In
police court Tuesday morning and Friday
morning Police Magistrate Berka will glv
a decision.
Mrs. Dally and McNeill, whom she say
was with her at the time of the alleged
trouble with Dally, testified that they could
not be mistaken In the Identity of Dally,
while the girl's father said he was positive
the man wu Dally, although the latter'
testimony was somewhat shaken by Attor
ney Kelkenney, for the defense.
On the other hand, Dally said on the
stand that he was not near his wife or. the
evening In question and established a
strong alibi with a number of witnesses.
At this trial, which was but one chapter
of the story of the case, much evidence
was brought out regarding the secret mar
riage of Miss Wedell to Dally at Calhoun
on the afternoon of April 26. The couple
returned to Omaha the same day, the bride
going to the home of her parents. Sh
said she did not see Dally again until the
evening of the alleged trouble.
Speaking of the case In police court to
day Mr. Wedell said;
I have aged ten years In the last thirty
days on account of this trouble. Rose'
mother 1 nearly heart-broken and could
not come to court this morning. Rose 1
our only girl and we love her much. I
hope to send her away when this matter I
finished."
Then the gray-haired father wiped away
a tear.

Mr. Kennard moved to substitute the
name of Youngers for Harrington. Mr.

vailed. It waa made plain that there was
no personal feeling against Harrington.
He Is a democrat and Younger la a re

sidered only fair that he should be chosen.
On the vote to substitute Youngers, Messrs.
Hofeldt, Drexel and Reed voted no, but
on the final vote all were recorded In the
affirmative. Younger will draw 2S cent

FACTS not THEORIES
TRUTH not FICTION.
The truth is what the American public want in these days. Tha
'way of truth is also the way of health now that trying weather is here.
We hear a tale of hard colds, bad coughs, "threatened with pneumonia
and almost bronchitis. Maybe it is talk of "spring " fever, backache,
cold feet and perhaps the early symptoms of grip. Take the ounce of
prevention that is worth the pound of cure that will carry you through
the bad spring weather, "A safe and sane" tonic to use at this
time is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Why? because it
Is an honest mtdicine ! Made from medicinal plants that put new
blood in your veins, new vigor in the worn-out body, fresh strength
in the muscles, heart and brain.
Fraud is a bubble that soon bursts.
Truth Speaks.
Truth is a foundation of rock that cannot
be moved I In order to separate the false
from the true Dr. Tierce has decided to
let the public know just what is contained in his "Golden Medical
Discovery."
This valuable tonland blood purifier has been sold in ever increas
ing quantities for nearly forty years its success seemed vphenommal to
those not familiar with its ingredients but the secret is out now and
you know why it is that Dr. Pierce found it so uniformly successful ia
treating chronic cases those who were run-down whose blood was
bad owing to imperfect digestion perhaps the skin showing scrof
ulous tendency due to impure blood and the heart and arteries left in
a weakened condition. Dr. R.. V. Pierce during an active practice
found time to experiment and study the combining of the following
native medicinal plants into an alterative in which just the right pro
portions were scientifically combined to make the most effective remedy
without the use of a particle of alcohol as follows :
I. BLOODROOT (Sang-uinaria Canadensis).
2. SiUMU KUVJi (Louinsonta tanaaensts).
3. GOLDEN SEAL, Hydrastis Canadensis).
4. QUEEN'S ROOT (Stiiing-ia. Sylvatica). '
5. MANDRAKE Podophyllum Pettatum).
6. CHERRYBARK (Prunus Virginiana).
One of the most scientific authorities in his Medical Dispensatory
says of Dloodroot : " It stimulates the digestive organs, increases action
of heart and arteries valuable as a stimulant and tonic as well as a
remedy for a cough." Of the following plants he farther saysi
"Stone root is an alterative, tonic and stimulant. Improves appetite,
promotes flow of gastric juice and a good remedy in indigestion, dys
pepsia, chronic gastritis and increases the secretion from the kidneys
and skin. Mandrake is a gentle stimulant tonic, improves the appetite
and is a certain but sure cathartic which leaves the bowels in an im-,
proved condition." While of Queen's root he says: "an alterative un
surpassed by few if any other of the known alteratives, most successful
in skin and scrofulous affections, aids in blood-making and nutrition."
