Samuel Friedman , the Broadway pawn-
j broker , wan arrested yesterday on an Information -
! formation charging him with receiving and
secreting stolen goods. The complaint was
Bled by Ernoat Stengor of Omaha and Is a
sequel U > the finding at Friedman's pawn-
i shop articles of Jewelry stolen from Steu-
1 gor's rtRldenco by J. H. Coburg. Several
| plwos of valuable Jewelry , which Coburg
I told the Omaha authorities he hadi pledged
i at Friedman's place , are not forthcoming.
! Ths articles that have been so far recovered
i are of minor value. Friedman denies that
Coburg pledged the articles In question with
him Rnd says he has turned over to the
I police all of the stolen Jewelry pawned at
hl.t place.

Friedman received and secreted with the. .
full knowledge that they had been stolen

one diamond ring , valued at $100 and a gold
locket sot with diamonds , valued at $40.
Friedman's bond was fixed by Judge Ayles-
worth at $800 , which was furnished by

niorman , was well known to the police here ,
aa he was a frequent visitor at the gambling
rooms. It is said that some of the Jewelry
stolen t > y him In Omaha was pawned and
redeemed several times by him In tills city.

pawn the jewelry and then If luck was on
his aide ho would redeem It. lie Is said to
be a theological student and a man of con
siderable education. The diamond stud that

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Hallway
and Bridge company Is planning to carry
out a number of improvements on Its sys-
I torn this oprlng and summer. Part of these
have boon definitely decided on , while others
nro uniler consideration , But the work nl-
ready arranged to be done will mean the
outlay of H considerable sum of money and
Klvo employment to a large force of men.
In the first place , the company hns de
cided on spending In the neighborhood of
$10,000 in repairing nnd painting Its bridge
across the Missouri. The painting will cost
about $5,000 nnd the other $5,000 will bo
expended on replacing the worn pavement.
The color to be used In pnlntlng the bridge
has not been agreed upon. Some 6f the
directors are opposed to white , as It BO soon
loses its fresdi appearance and becomes
dirty. A dark rod IB being favorably con
sidered.
The paving will ho somewhat of n tedious
job , as only part can be done nt n time , m
as not to Interfere with travel over the
structure.
As soon ns the frost Is out of the ground
work will commence on paving Broadway
from the east end of the brldpo to the west
end of the slough bridge near the water
works property. The material for this pav
ing. Manager DImmock says , has not yet
been definitely settled on , but In all prob
ability will be a very fine kind of macadam.
The company , he thinks , will finally decide
on laying a macadam of slag with a topping
of disintegrated granite. It will bo a de
cided Improvement over the sing macadam
pavement laid on Broadwny.two years ago ,
which is now full of holes and almost as
rough as the old cedar block paving. AVork
on this will bu commenced as soon ns plans
and specifications can bo urnwn.
Manager DImmock has In connection with
the paving of this portion of Broadway in
mind a plan to replace the wooden sidewalks -
walks with raised cinder pathr , which on
one sld of the thoroughfare could bo re
served for the use of bicyclists. This plan ,
Mr. DImmock believes , would bo a good
ono to carry out the entire longlh of Broad
way , nt least on one side of the street.
The plunk sidewalks could bo taken up nnd
replaced with cinders , well beaten down.
Part of the planking taken up could be used
for the sides of the cinder path to keep
the cinders in place. His company , he says ,
will , if the people of the olty favor the
plan , provide all the cinders necessary free
of cost. At present the company gets 20
cents a load for all of its cinders , but will !
gladly forego the price to sec a good bi
cycle path established along Broadway. The ;
scheme , he admits , IB not a new ono and '
has frequently been discussed , but nothing
over done. The expense of making such a '
path , with the cinders provided free oC I
cost , would bo comparatively small. !
Now motors have been purchased for all I
the small cars and the now cars on the
uptown lines ore now being fitted with them.
This gives the company a full equipment of
the latest designed motor lu this or any
other country. All the original equipment
with which the company started In business
is now in the scrap pile , with the exception
of one little motor on the "Irish mall" or
work car. Within the last two years all
the old equipment has been gradually re
placed with new and the latest designs on
the market.
All the old cars have been remodeled ,
except five trailers , which are put out of
regular service and are being kept simply
for use in cases of emergency , when they
can bo used behind the new small motors.
The company's present equipment , up-to-
date in every particular , ns Mr. Dimmock
says it is , is adequate to meet all demands
of travel and sufficient to handle the in
creased travel that may be expected this
summer by reason of the exposition In
Omaha. The largo car house will bo ro-
modelcd this spring and
treated to n now
coat of paint. The work shops and the en
tire plant will bo put in llrst-clnss condition.

The Woman's Sanitary Relief commission \
finds itself in the embarrassing position of .
having sold more tickets for the benefit en- I
tertainment tonight than the house has
seats , consequently many who purchased
tickets have been disappointed and unable '
to secure scats. The rush when the box '
office was opened yesterday was a sight to
behold nnd people anxious to secure scats
were lined up far into the street. All pur
chasers of tickets who failed to secure scats
will have their money refunded. The fol
lowing notice has been issued by the olllcors
of the commission :
The members of the Sanitary Relief com
mission report the disappointment of these
who could ' not secure reserved seats for to
night's performance. The house was over
sold for two reasons. First , because the
women misunderstood the capacity of the
house , and second , because so ninny people
remarked in purchasing tickets , "I don't
care to go to the show , but I'll buy tickets i l
to help on the cause. " But when the last I
moment came it seems that every one de
cided that they did want to go ,
When the mombcrs of the commission who
had stood In line and secured seats learned
of the disappointment of late-comers they
promptly turned their reserved seats over '
to thu box olllco and took gallery or stand
ing room tickets , The reserved seats thus
secured , however , wore not sufficient to sup- j
ply the domnnd , and In order that no III-
fuellug may result each purchaser of a ticket |
who may so deslro can have his money re
funded this morning by applying at the of
llco of Kmmutl Tlnley In the Shugart block ,
where the financial committee will bo in at

Every boy and girl will want to ride n
wheel this spring and The Bee Is going to
glvo you a chance to get ono In n very
simple way. What Is more , it IS going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want ,
for It knows you all wont a certain make ,
"which Is the only make on earth. "
Now let us tell you how The Bee Is going
to give the wheels away. Wo want n lot of
new subscribers to The Bee In Council
Bluffs. As soon ns the first 300 orders have
been handed Into our office , the first con
test closes and wo will award the wheel to
the one bringing the most orders out of
this 300. Then Contest No. 1 closes und Con
test No. 2 opens on the next 300 orders.
Just ECO how easy this Is. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on Mnrch 1 to got
subscribers. They only have to average -ten
apleco to make the total , so the winner will
not have to get very many orders , you see.
You want to start In early and hand In your
orders ns soon as possible.
Now about the orders. Kach order must
bo for an actual now Council Bluffs sub
scriber. Each subscriber must lake The Ueo
for at least three weeks and pay for it In
order to be counted. H is bettor , but not
uei'cssnry , to pay In advance , only no order
will be counted until the subscription Is
paid for. If the subscription Is paid for in
advance It will count ono on your score for
each three weeks for wnlch It Is prepaid.
For example : If a subscriber pays In ad
vance for six weeks , It counts two ; If ho
pays for twelve weeks , It will count four ;
If ho pays for ono year , H will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid in ad
vance It will count only one on your score
no matter how long ho continues to take it.
There , that Is plain , Isn't It ? Now see
what you can do. , The first contest begins
March 1. Sincerely yours ,

I'ri-Nt-nteit to Jury.
ALBANY. N. Y. , March S. The fifth day
of the Cody blackmail trial opened with the
defendant still on the stand. Her counsel ,
Mr. Dugan. finished his redirect examination
with n few questions concerning the letters
which had passed between her and Mrs. J.
F. Pierce , Jny Mould's alleged child , nnd her
husband.
District Attorney Lycr ) cross-examined ,
reading n number of lettem written by Mrs.
Cody lo Mrs. Walker , Mrs. Plerce's ntint , to
Mrs. Beebe , who furnished her with funds
with which to urge the claim of MM. Plerco ,
to Mrs. Angell and to others. In the letter
to Mrs. Walker. Mrs. Cody said that Jny
Oould had told Sarah Ann Brown ( Mrs.
Angell ) that her marriage to him was Illegal j |
since It had been performed by a Presby
terian clergyman while she was n Catholic.
Mrs. Plerco had told her this , said Mrs.
Cody.
After counsel for Mrs , Cody , to save time ,
had admitted the authenticity ot the docu- !
meiits , Mrs. Ccdy then '
was excused , but 1m-
mediately recalled to the ehalr to answer
the question of one of the Jurymen.
"Whydldyou not contradlctJtidgc Brown ? "
ho asked , "when he first told you that Mrs.
Angell was not .lay Gould's wife in Mrs. An-
gell's presence ? "
"Because I was so surprised , " she an
swered , "and ho did not glvo me time. I
had to leave the room nt once , ns ho wished
some private conversation with Mrs. Angell. "
She went on to say that she afterward did
contradict Brown's statement , but not with
Mrs. Angell ns a witness.
Attorney Stearns , who drew up the power
ot attorney between Mrs. Cody and Mrs.
Angell , took the stand for the second time
and told what he knew concerning a number
of legal papers.
Mrs. Angell was then put on the stand.
She gave her name ns Mary Angell. Asked
to repeat her conversation with Mrs. Cody
at Rouse's Point , she said-
"She asked mo If 1 had ever been married
to Mr. Oould. I told her that I had never
been. She gave mo the name of my first
husband nnd described him , nnd asked mo If
I waw married to the man nnd I said that 1 I
was. " I
"Tho Frenchman ? " |
"Yes. sir , the Frenchman. She asked mo
If I had a slaughter living. I said I had.
She said , 'Your daughter ts worth millions. '
I said , 'That's news to mo. ' "
"Did you ever toll Mrs. Cody that you
were married to Jay Gould ? "
"No , sir. "
"Did she toll you so ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Did you ever sco Jny Gould ? " J
"No , sir. " t
"What did Judge Brown say to Mrs.
Cody ? "
"He said , 'Where there nro no facts , what ]
nro yon going lo build the case on ? ' " |
Cross-examination by Mr. Dugan followed.
"You say you never mot Jay Gould. When
you wore a girl of 14 , at home , did not a
man come to your house for water one day ?
Now , don't you know who ho was ? "
"No , sir. "
The witness admitted that a man had
como for water and that she know that ho |
was employed on ono of the railroads then
being built. Her mind , she said , was not
exactly clear concerning what had taken
place when she was so young. After a few j
more questions , however , the witness re
called the appearance of the man. He was
about 17 years old , short and dark.
Continuing her statement , she said that
she had married the old Frenchman , Do
Roussn , nnd had n child by him who was
bound out to a Canadian weaver. Two years
after Its birth she had gone west , leaving
her husband , who died shortly afterwards.
She was Do Roussa's lawful wife , fahc said ,
having been married to him by the Presby
terian clergyman Lclghton , whose name she
had learned since then.

"Russia's attitude is not changed by

"But wo are wondering what our great

that the United States would bo forced by

One of ( lie Hen ! I'rnliiri'n of the New
I'll.Cure. .
The Pyramid Pile Cure euros all forms of
piles without ono particle of pain. This
desirable point Is not obtained by the use of
Injurious opiates which simply deaden nnd
paralyze the nerves of the parts nnd make
matters worse in the long run. But it Is
done solely by Us remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while It thus gives Immediate relief ,
nt the same time the disease Is not merely
checked , but n radical cure Is rapidly accom-
pllshed.
And the point we want to make clear Is
that all this is done without a particle of
pain.
This fact Is one great reason for the popu
larity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and consti
tutes ono very great difference l > etwecn It
arid almost any other kind of treatment for
piles.
Every kind of cmrglcal operation for piles
Is excruciatingly painful , 'besides ' endanger
ing the life of the patient , nnd In most cases
Is not to bo compared with the Pyramid
Cure , neither In making successful cures
without pain nor In cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pllo Cure has been before
the public so long , nnd its merits recog
nized by too many people to allow It to be
classed with the many salves , suppositories ,
pills , etc. , and you run no risk In trying
It , as Is often the case with untried prepara
tions.
If you are over troubled with any form of
piles or rectal disease do not forget the
Pyramid Pllo Cure , Prepared by the Pyra
mid Drug Co. . of Marshall , Mich , und sold

READ THE SIGN
Warner's Safe Cure the Victor Among
Modern Medicines ,
H was once believed thnt n finger ring made from n coffin-nail would cure epilepsy. 1
The tooth ot a soldier who had been killed In battle was regarded ns a remedy for tool It-
aches , lirnglnc eurh ghastly nonscnso as this parading as medical scleuico ! Yet ihe
human mind , like the human body , must creep before It can walk. In time men learned
to reason and medlrlno was put upon n rational basis. Back In the old days some
childish or disgusting mess would have been used to relieve lmllgc tlon. Mark the
progress Illustrated In this letter from J. K. Stockwelt of Lincoln , Neb.
"I have born badly affected with trouble of the slrmach nnd Imvo used nearly all
kinds of medicines and doctored with local physicians to no nvnll. After being almost
completely discouraged , 1 was advised to use Warner's Snfo Cure , which I did , and 1
am glnd to be able to say that it Is the only remedy thnt has done mo any good. I have
used three bottles and am feeling llko a new man all over. 1 tint thankful to the War
ner's Safe Cure Co. for their medlclno , nnd can recommend It cheerfully to those suffer
ing aa I have suffered. "
Another 'Instance of the victory of rational medicine Is afforded by Jacob Cramp ot
Illrdsbore , Berks County , Pa. , who wrote. May 10th , 1S9S :
"I liavo tnken live bottles ot Warner's Safe euro. H relieved me of 4lio pain over my
kidneys. When 1 got down 1 could hardly got up again. 1 did not know what wia
wrong with me. 1 could hardly do my work. I heard of Safe Cure and thought I would
try It. After taking ono bottle I felt better. 1 nm very grateful for Warner's Safe Cut *
nud would advise people to try It. "
Just one case more. Averclt Perry of Ixiulsbuic , N. C. . says :
"I have taken only one bottle of Warner's Snfo Cure and It has done me more good
than anything else 1 ever took. 1 hnd an aching feeling In the pit of my slomncti.
I \\.int to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can recommend Safe Cure as the
finest medicine In the world. "
Dors tlie clear and energetic langungo of Ihcso men IdaVo any doubt ot their sincer
ity ? The stomach derangement spoken of Is commonly nsfoclnted with the approach
of Brlght's disease. No painted Indian ever crept to a settler's cabin more stealthily
than Bflghfs disease Invades the body. A dull white skin , tendency to perspire , Indi
gestion and short breath give warning of .the enemy.
Lese no time nor courage. Take Warner's Pafo Cure regularly , and benr In mind that
H has u record of twenty -glorious years. It cures all ailments of the kidneys , liver
and bladder. Including even the terrible dlscnho named for Dr. Bright. Ttie road
