FAULT OF THE RAILROADS
Live Slock Exchange Places Blame for
Discriminating Bates.
REPLY FOR THE STOCK YARDS COMPANY
ComnilNNloti Men Once More Make
Coniiilnlnt of the .Situation In
AVIilch the ClmiiKc 111 Hat en
1'tncen Them.
Tuesday afternoon a committee appointed
by the Live Stock exchange of South Omaha
waited upon the management of the Stock
Yards company to devise , If possible , porno
mean ! ) of reducing the charges on clock ship
ments to this market , which at the present
tlmo are greater than to Kansas City. Mr.
Valentine of Chicago , representing the Ar
mour Interests , was present nt the conference.
The committee stated what In already
known to the public through the columns of
The Dee , namely , that the business at the
South Omaha stock yards Is declining and
that something ought to be done to stay the
tide. "We have done all In our power to In
fluence the railroads to absorb the switching
charged made by the stock yards company , "
mid the spokesman of the committee , "but
without avail. The railroad people say that
they bring the stock to South Omaha to
their own Inconvenience nnd that If the
Block yards company eccs fit to charge for
fiwltching lliR can uround lo the yards they
nrc justifiable In adding such charges to the
freight bills , thus making the country shipper
pay It , On Friday last two members of this
committee called upon all the general mali
ngers of the roads In Omaha and gained
from them a promise to meet us for n further
discussion of the matter on Monday after
noon. We went as ngrcpd to Mr. Holdreso's
ofllco , but Mr. Dickinson of the Union Pacific
did not keep bis appointment and so nothing
was accomplished. Ever slnco the first uf
the year we have been trying to come to
Rome agreement with the railroads , but the
matter Is delayed on ono pretext or
another and In the meantime South Omaha Is
loblng her live stock business. In view of
the urgency of' ' the case wo want the
stock yards company to reduce Its charge
for switching from J2.GO to $1 , on through
fctock and the charge on local shipments
from $1.50 to $1 , which wo believe to be a
reasonable charge and ono thai Ihe railroads
| g would be willing to pay rather than do their
own switching. "
The representative of the stock yards
company were considerably surprised at this
proposition , and while they did not say they
would not do It they would not agree to
maka the reduction. Mr. Valentino said
that there was a good deal more In It than
the committee realized , and that New Yorker
or Chicago might have something to say ,
and that principles of deep Import wcro In
volved , his words giving the committee the
impression that the matter was too great for
them to comprehend.
The different membera of the commltlco.
urged the necessity of doing something to
place Omaha on an equality with other
markets and of doing It at once , but nothing
was accomplished.
A member of the committee said to n re
porter yesterday that the real Inside of
the whole subject Is this , to use liln own
words : "The stock yards company has a
contioct with the roads to do the switching
for certain specified charges. Up to tha
first of the year the railroad companies paid
this money out of their own funds , but since
thot , date they have been charging It up to
the' shipper. Now the stock yards com
pany claims that Its contract has been
broken by tlio roads and that
the railroad companies Hhould come
to them for a settlement. On the other
hand , the railroads reply that there U noth
ing-In their coijtpct speclfylng.as to whether
or not Iho cost of switching should' bo
charged , jup to the shipper and that they
have no complaints to make , and no reason
for chasing after the stock yards company.
Thin Is the attitude of the two parties to the
controversy , while * we , the commission men ,
who have upent hundreds of thousands of dollars
lars to advertise and build up this market ,
BOO our work undone , our shippers driven
to other markets by what they consider an ,
unjust charge , and are powerless to prevent" i
It. Our committee said to the stock yards .
company , 'Tho railroads have got you
whipped , you nro badly hurt and are on the
run. Now , then , you might Just as well
odmlt the truth and surrender now before the
llvo stock business of South Omaha suffers
any further Injury.1 "
Every man , woman nnd child who has rnro
tried that specific , Dr. null's Cough Syrup ,
cannot say enough In Its praise.

part payment , n note signed by parties who
exited only In his own Imagination. There
were two counts In the charge , ono for

note , and ho was given the minimum
sentence under the law en account of n recom
mendation of the jury , the sentence being
one year on each count. The case was taken

case was sent back. After looking over the

SUIT BROUGHT TO OUST UX1TT.
Stationary EiiKliieers Auk Ills Ite-
ninviil II.H Holler Inspector.
Proceedings In quo wnrranto have been
commenced In the district court to oust
Charlcu Unlit from the position of boiler Inspector
specter of the city of Omaha. James Ander
son , a member of the National Association
of Stationary Engineers , on behalf of himself
and 200 others , citizens and members of the
same association , petitions the court to declare
Unltt disqualified to hold the position of
boiler Inspector. He sets forth in his peti
tion , that the city charter requires that the
boiler Inspector must bo a practical me
chanical steam engineer , or a practical boiler
maker and must have had , during the two
years Immediately preceding his appoint
ment , a license as a steam engineer of the
highest grade.
The petition further alleges that Mayor
Droatch was. notified ! by the association , pre
vious to the nppolntment of Unltt , that ho
was not a proper person , within the meanIng -
Ing of the city charter , to hold the ofllce In
question , and had no license as required by
the charter.
It Is charged that Unltt ID wholly Incom
petent , and that Mayor Broatch has acted in
violation of law In appointing Unitt when he
well knew that he was not qualified to hold
the position. It ia asserted that the laws
regulating the Inspection of steam-fbc-llersi
were pawed for the protection of the lives
of citizens and a violation ! of the law is a
monaco to the safety of persons who are
dally brought In contact with steam boilers
In largo buildings. It Is also alleged that
the bond given by Unltt Is practically woith-
leaj , as the sureties have not qualified , and
are not worth the amount for which they are
sureties.
The court Is asked to declare Unltt not en
titled to hold the ofilce and to declare the
nfflnA vflrnnt.

Mrs. Jennie R. Comes has applied to the
courts for a divorce from John H.
Comes , setting up cruelty and refusal to

Comes Informs the court that phe was mir-
rled to Cornos at Ottumwa , la. , July 8 ,
1S75 , and three children , all girls , are the
result of their union. rihe alb : taya tui
Cornos Is the possessor of an ungovernable
temper and In domlnc3rlng and Is abusive.
For years , so she Informs the court , he has
compelled her to earn her own living and has
refused to provide his family with the ne
cessities of Ufa , though abundantly able to
do so. August 27 , last year , she states ho
drove her from the house and refused to al
low her to return. Ho used abusive , pro
fane and scurrilous language toward the
pjalntlff and on one occasion choked and
struck her. Ho frequently amused himself ,
according to the petition. In kicking the
children and otherwlso abusing them , and
on one occasion kicked ono of them across
the room , inflicting great bodily Injury , nnd
at another time he kicked ono of the chil
dren down stairs In n fit of fury.
The court Is asked to grant a divorce nnd
reasonable alimony and to give the plnlntlff

1'raiMinFN to Icnvp III * Slrccl S
The Board of Piibllrf Works submitted n
proposition to the city council t Its meeting
TuegJny night which was almost lost sigh
of In the great mass jf business with whlcl
the council was Inundated. The whole mat
tcrtns referred to -Judiciary committee
nnd It Is doubtful If any -of the conncllmoi
knew what It meant. The subject matter
of this communication , however , Is o
peculiar Interest nt this time , In view of the
situation In the local labor Held and the
dispute between the tioanl of Public Works
and the representatives of organized labor.
The proposition was contained In ft letter
from John Grant and a blank agrecmen
submitted by Grant , embodying a plan to
sweeping the paved streets of Omaha by
moans of sweeping machines. i
Grant proposes , as set forth In the agree
mcnt referred to , to lease to the city two
sweeping machines one n "scvcn-horso
power street cljnner , " operated by a gasoline
motor , and the other a "gutter cleaner , '
operated by means of horses. Doth ma
chines are manufactured by the "Cyclone
Street Cleaner company of Omaha. " Tli
consideration asked Is $120 per year fo
five years and n royalty of )2 per mile on
each mlle swept , payable monthly , upon
estimates of the city engineer ,
It Is represented that the seven-horse
pouor machine Is a eilf-loadlng machine am
Is to be used to pick up the dirt after It ha
been placed In wlnrowo three or four fee
from the curb. The gutter cleaner Is to b
ti.spil for sweeping the accumulated dirt fron
the gutter toward the center of the strce
and three or four feet from the curb. No
provision la made In the agreement , as oub
mittcd , for sweeping the center of the street
It la also provided that the city Is to sweep
at lea t-t 1,000 miles of street each year and It
to furnish and pay the necessary numbar o
competent men to operate the machines. 1
It becomes necessary to use two of the pelf
loading machines the contractor agrees to
furnish an extra machine without extra
charge , except for the cost of repairs.
This agreement was sent to the city coun
ell In accordance with the following resolu
tlon adopted by the board Tuesday after
noon :
"Resolved , That the communication and
agreement received from John Grant , In re
gard to street cleaning , bo referroJ to the
city council for HP determination and ap
proval , with the board's recommendation that
the same bo accepted ; or that the board be
allowed to purchase there or come other
street sweepers , as It Is too primitive a
method to continue street cleaning solely by
hand labor. "
This resolution was signed by Messrs. Kas-
par and Wlnspear.
Jlr. AVInspcar * stated yesterday that ho
waa most decidedly of the opinion that the
proposition of Grant should bo accepted ; the
method of cleaning streets entirely by hand
ho paid , had long ago been discarded by
other cities , and he thought the work coulc
be done cheaper , and certainly much better
by using both machines and hand libor. His
plan , ho said , would be to retain about fif
teen or twenty of the members of the blue
barrel brigade toork In the business dis
tricts during the daytime and have the ma
chines go over all the 'paved streets In the
city during the -nights. He was asked If the
machines which It was proposed to use were
those In which he was known to be Inter
ested , to which ho replied In the negative ,
saying they wcro other machines.
An examination ofithe corporation records
In the offlce of the county clerk showed that
the "Cyclone Street Cleaner company" was
Incorporated Juno 25 , 1895 , the corporators
being James H. Wlnspear , Fred II. Smith
and Samuel G. SanBom , and the place of
business being Omaha.

Qua Heego was engaged for two years

man , " which Svllt bo seen for the first tlmo

commencing with , a cheap-priced matinee
Sunday afternocn , nnd from all accounts ho
has turned out another great comedy success.
The Swede of Mr. Heego Is a delightful and
unique personality. Ho is awkward , phleg
matic , Imperturbable , tlow to anger , rarelv
excitable , but ho thinks right , Is clear-headed ,
shrewd , amiable , honcet , straightforward
and frank and open as the blue eyes which
gaze at you so Innocently. Ordinarily , he is
as stolid as one of Mr. Barrio's auld llchts ,
but his Ecnre of humor Is keen and he is
strong In sentiment. He Is In fact a study ,
a creation worthy of a place among the best
titage characters of our time. If Mr. Heege
had done nothing else within the span of Uls
stage life , he would have done enough when
ho contributed this character to the dramatic
literature of the American stage. It easily
ranks In originality of conception and artistic
finish with the best characterizations of our
ablest actors. The play will be given here
by Mr. Heego and a company of unusual
strength. A special sale of cheap prices

WAR Otf TIIIO XOHTH IIOTTOMS.
Two of the rirnl Families CHril oil
Tholr Armor.
Another skirmish has been reported In the
continuous warfare which Is being waged
Indiscriminately among the residents of the
north bottoms. It lias resulted , ns usual.
In the calling In of the strong arm of the
law to quiet the warring elements. The
warrant this time Issued for the arrest of
Mrs. Tom Lawless , who , It Is stated author
itatively , Is the only ono -of the residents"
who has not been previously arrested.
The complainant Is Mrs. N. Hodges , who
lives at Tenth and Paul streets. She has
nn attractive daughter , whoso only disad
vantage Is a husband. Mm Lawless Is a
closa neighbor of Mrs. Hodges. She has n
son. Tbls son has developed an afftctlon for
the married daughter of Mrs. Hodges and
over this the trouble started.
"I will have no man tagging after my mar
ried daughter , " was the ultimatum of Mrs.
Hodges , and the scion of the Lawless family
was very ejnphatlcally bnrred from the
Hodges castle. When the ton reported this
to Mrs. Lawless she looked upon It as a slur
upon the Lawless honor and escutcheon. She
gathered herself together and planteJ herself
before the residence of Mrs. Hodges and there
delivered herself of some plain statements in
tonea tlmt all the world might hear.
"She didn't only disturb my peace , " says
Mrs. Hedges , "but sh disturbed the peace of
all the neighbors. Mrs. John Brown lives n
block away , but she was so disturbed that
for three hours she was all in a tremble anil
liad to go to bed. Mr. Galtelhouse , who lives
a block and a half away , heard her , too , and
when her man came home she was In bed ,
uhaklng like a leaf. "
Mr. Gattelhouse was In court to corroborate
this statement. The recital was deemed
sufficient foru warrant and Mrs. Lawless wll
berarrested for disturbing the peace.
It Is understood that one of the witnesses
against Mrs. Lawless will be her husband.
He appeared amongst his neighbors yesterday
morning with a badly battered and bandaged
liead and It is understood that ho had an en
counter with his wife.
"Olvo mo a liver regulator and I can regu
late the world , " said a genlu.s. The druggist
handed him a bottle of DeWitt's Llttlo Ear. ' }

DEATH. OF GHOHCE C. AMES.
Another Old Cltlrcii I'IIHNVN to ( lie
Crt'iit lli'yonil.
George C. Ames , ono of Omaha's most re
spected cltbcns , died at 1:15 : o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He was stricken with apoplexy
two weeks ago last Thursday. Up to that
tlmo ho was In excellent health and spirits.
His son , George W. Ames , was with him at
the tlmo of his death. No arrangements
for the funeral have been made.
George C. Ames was born December 7 ,
1824 , at Huntingdon , Canada. Removing In
early life to Chicago he entered upon a long
and varied business career. In 1882 he
Joined his son , George , In this city. Since
that time ho has been engaged In the real
estate business with him here.
Mr. Ames had traveled all over his own
country and a large part of Europe. He was
thoroughly conversant with the west and Its
resources. At all times he was possessed
of unbounded falt'j In the growth nnd per
manent prosperity of Omaha. No man was
more conversant with the value of local prop
erty , and no ono's judgment was more
sought after and respected. The afternoon
ho was stricken 111 ho had Just completed
a letter to his son , which was replete with
assurances of the future greatness of this
cHy. He loved Omaha and entertained great
hopes for Its future.
Ho was a man who was extremely atten
tive to business affairs. He had a bright ,
genial nature , domestic In his tastes and
liablts , staunch In his friendships , honest In
business , and at all times energetic and
hopeful. He was a great reader and his
favorite manner of spending his evenings
after a day's hard labor was to read eomo
standard author.

Councilman Kennard , who was. largely In
strumental In pushing through the plans
for locating the city jail In the basement of
the city hall , said yesterday that bo In
tended to wash his hands of the whole thing.
Ho said the council had willfully and reck-
essly expended about JS.OOO In destroying
the beauty of the city hall and had then
abandoned the scheme. Ho professed Ignor
ance of what was to be done In the way of
a jail and said ho supposed the jail would
remain where It has been all the time , In
the old Gcos hotel. Ho thought the rent
night bo reduced to $200 per month , a ro-
luctlon of $100 per month from the present
Igure , but eald hq was certain this was at
east $150 per month more than the place
was reasonably worth , "There are at least
a dozen men In this town , " exclaimed the
rate councilman/ would bo glad of the
chance to put up a good building for a jail
for a lease of llvo years at a figure below
vhat wo are now paying , "

Of the year people are looking for bargains The
careful buyer will note that the place which is selling
at close prices in the busy season is likely to give the
greatest values in the dull season of the year A store
like ours cannot afford to carry over stock from one
season to another. It pays us better to sacrifice what
there is left and begin every season with new goods.
We have in every department something which must
be c'osed ' out and in this case cost or value is not
considered.
The open winter left too many u'sters ' and over"
coats on our hands. We have two lines of ulsters on
which we have made a deep cut. One is a good black
Frieze with cassimere lining which sold all season for
$7.50 , we offer now at $5. The other an excellent
Shetland of dark mixed shades , lined with good cas
simere and well gotten up , we offer now for $6. This
garment is worth fully $10 , even now.
The deepest cut is naturally made on the finest
overcoats. The cheap and medium grades are nearly
sold out but what we have left of our finest kersey
overcoats have been marked clown to prices at which
we formerly sold the cheaper qualities , and if you can
find your size you will get a barg am as is a bargain.
