CARPENTERS AND PLANING MILL MEN OUT Mill Orrnrrn Ttcfunc to Arenlc in the Drninmln of Their Workmen StnRe Kiniilnyrn' Demands Arc tirnntcd. TUB 03IAI1A DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1000. 1 i All of the planing mill mon and practically 'l of tho carpenters ot tho city wcro Idle yesterday. Tho men assembled at Labor temple and spent the time- talking over the sltua tlon In an Informal manner and tlto planing mill men hold a meeting for the purpose of discussing tho ultimatum of tho employers. Thero was really no foundation for any dis cussion, as tho reply ot the mill owners, ox prrotd through N. S. McLano of Johnson & McLanc, was, "Wo cannot nccedo to the torms." At noon tho mooting was still In progress, Thero were carpenters at work on tho alteration of tho old pontofftco building. Tho two mon hero employed stated that the had a promise- of 40 centB per hour, but Peter Sudorbcrg, the contractor, said that ne wan paying but 35 cents. At 1517 Dodgo streot Hugh McCaffery Is making renal on a building and has conceded tho Increaso of wages. It was also reported at labor head quarters that a dozen carpenters worn at work on tho npw Country club building at Ueneon and woro receiving tho now scale ot 40 cents. Ono of the complaints of tho contractors against tho carpenters Is that tho mm will work for any one for tho samo wages they receive rroin tho contractors and In conse quenco of this tho contractors aro dobarrcd from certain classes of work, whero the Journeymen take Jobs at prices which would ruin the contractors. So far aH can be ascertained thero will be about 450 men directly affected by tho strike, 350 carpenters and 100 -woodworkers. The agent of tho woodworkers visited all of tho planing mlllfl yesterday and re moved all union labols. Regular mccttngH of tho Builders' and Traders' Council and tho Contractors' Ex chango wcro held Tuesday night. Tho strike situation was discussed at leneth. but tn qulry from several of tho members of tho two organizations failed to elicit any in formation relative to tho trend of tho die cusslon. A movement Is on foot looking toward a settlement of tho existing troubles and owing to an apparent anxiety on tho part or tho builders and contractors to ad- Just tho differences speedily, It Is a reason able certainty that overtures In' tho form of either a compromlso or an arbitration have been mado to tho strikers. Tho opinion was oxprcsscd that tho troublous labor con ditlons would bo satisfactorily adjudicated within tho very near future, and all efforts aro being concentrated toward tho attain ment of this end. Tho regular meeting of tho local union of tho Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers, held Tuesday evening at Labor temple, was a record breaker for attendance, though but ltttlo business was transacted outside ot routlno affairs. As no reply had been re ceived from tho contractors, thero was noth Ing to be dono In regard to the strike sltua tlon, but thero la every Indication that the union wll stand firm In Its demand for an Increaso of wages to 40 cents per hour. Tho Stago Employes' union has announcod that the local theater managers had con ceded their demands for an Increaso ot 33 per cent In their wages, tho now Bcale to r, Into effect next Monday. Tho rumored strike of-the plumbers for Increase-of wages failed to'materlailzo and all plumbers are at work as usual. MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP Search for lir Whr rrnhnnt of Julia Itone IMicloe the Fact that She Was lu Jail. The whereabouts ot Julia Itose, colored, was the subject of anxious speculation for time Tuesday. Julia Is elated by tho po llco as an ex-convlct, having done tlmo for robbing a rcalo companion of vjhat ho had In his pockets. Saturday night sho was again taken Into custody on suspicion of having robbed a confiding malo companion of a small amount. Tuesday morning Mack Smart ascertained that she was In Jail and Prank Munn waa employed to get her out. Application was made to Judge Vlnsonbaler far a writ of habeas corpus, on tho ground that tho Rose woman had been arrosted and detained without a warrant, that no com plaint had been filed against her and that ho had been dcnlod permission as her at torney to seo hor at tho Jail. A writ wae Issued against Chief Donahuo and Captain Her, rcturnablo at 4:30 p. to. At that hour they came Into court and declared that tho woman was not In their custody at the time of the serving of tho writ, but that thoy had had her and had not transferred her custody to anyone else. Attornoy Munn stated to the court that the Rose woman had been released and In her etead thopollco had an hour or there abouts before taken Mack Smart and thrust him into Jail. Munn declared that he had also 'been refused permission to confor with Smart. Ho Insisted that tho costs In the action should 'bo charged up against the police and said thoy had not liberated Julia untlf after service of tho writ upon them. This he declared his ability to prove It FOR WELL PEOPLE. An Kniy Way to Keep Well, It Is easy to keep well If wo would only observo oach day a few simple rules of health. The all important thing Is to keep the stomach right and to do this it Is not neces sary to diet or to follow a set rulo or bill ot fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetlto and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must bo avoided. Prof. Wlocbold gives pretty good advlco on this subject, lie says: "I am 6S years eld and have nevor had a serious Illness, and at the same tlmo my ltfo has been largely an Indoor ono, but I early discovered that tho way to keep healthy was to koep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crack ers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary, I always eat what my appetite craves, but for the past eight years I have made it a dally practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and I attributo my robust health for a man of my age to tho regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets. "My physician first advlsod me to use them, because he said they were perfectly harmless and wore not a Bocret patent med icine, ibut contained only the natural diges tives, peptones and diastase, and after using thorn a few weeks I have never ceased to thank blm for his advice. "I honestly believe tho habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is tho real health habit, because their use brings health to tho sick and ailing and pre serves health to tho well and strong." Men and women past fifty years of aga need a safo digestive after meals to insure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease, and the safest, best known and most widely used'ls Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They aro found In every well regulated household from Malno to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way Into popular favor, All druggists sell 3tuart's Dyspepsia Tab- Its, full slued packages at CO cents and for a weak stomach a fifty-cent package will ften do fifty, dollars worth' of good, 1 Dear Children, this Is a Great and Good that he can lay aside all Prejudice Nebraska Is urging against tho Trust. he were given time, and Judge Vlnsonbaler allowed him until 10 a. m. Wednesday to do so and avoid tho costs. LETTER CARRIERS ARE ANXIOUS Appropriation Illll Sow PentllnK Miy CliaiiKn Their Honrs of Lull or. The letter carriers aro still watching tho course of the appropriation bill In congress, as this bill carries with It the chango In their hours of labor. A member of the association speaking of tho proposed change, said: "This chango Is attempted at tho request ot tho post masters of the offices ot the first class. These postmasters held a conference In Washington In December and recommended a chango In the method ot delivering mall In the cities. This bill Is only a stop In the direction of their demands, for those demands were that the present system of employing letter carriers bo abolished and that congress .each year appropriate a lump sum for the carrying or the malls In each city and that tho postmaster bo empowered to make such contracts as he deemed ad visable for tho delivery of letters. If this plan should bo adopted It would do away with letter carrlors as they at present exist and creato a class of contractors who would probably bo willing to carry routes for halt what the carriers now receive, and like most government contractors, would bo more Interested In getting the work dono at tho least oxpenso than in getting the work done In the best manner." maiIj ci.khks ui;(ii. to Aitmvn, DelcRiitc to the Annual Convention Are Itenuhlnir the City.

Members of the South Omaha Commercial club aro hoartlly In favor ot bottor street car service and to this end they propose offering to any responsible company a fran chise, provided that the regulations govern ing tho samo aro complied with. At tho present tlmo twenty-ono regular trains aro In operation, and four extras morning nnd evening. What is now wanted on tho lino Is nn addition ot two regular trains, with the agreement that tho four extras morning and night bo kept on. A cross-town lino Is demandod. Tho people on tho west side want a line which will extend from Thirty ninth and Q streets to Thirteenth street and Missouri avenue; this line, in tho opinion of the business mon of South Omaha, to pass through tho down town districts, thus providing transportation for 'those in tho outlying districts to the center or tho city. Tho people in the eastern part of the city are demanding transportation to 'the busi ness portion and thoy say that thoy will have It. Property In this section la grow ing In value every day and with sultablo street car service It Is figured that prices of residence property will double. When a road is open to tho river, which will bo in a very short time, the railroad company will of necessity be compelled to operate another lino Into South Omnha, thus giving two main transportation lines to the city on tho north. It Is told by many who aro engaged In business In tho Live Stock Exchange that tho Park avenue line will bo extended from Shecley to the doors of the Exchange. If this la dono and the Thirteenth street line Is extended, It will glvo to the South Omaha patrons of the street car company what Is considered ample service for some years to come. Tho Commercial club proposes working to this end. Dull TIiiicb for Mci-hnnle.

Any ono who Is familiar with the towers of South Omaha knows that thoy will scarcely 'permit the passage of the sewage, much less that of person. The Inspiration was evidently drawn from ono of Julra Verne's novels, for such a thing as was reported could never happen here. It Is truo that tho Union Stocks Yards company maintains an eight foot sewer from Ii street south to the head of Mud creek. From this point the water way is opon and Is washed dally with lye from tho soap factory, bo that the passage of anyono through It would bo a difficult matter.

Carroll of Chicago, ropijsentativo of Kirk & Co., Is In the city to assist Mr. Rudlo In entertaining th crowds that are expected to throng tlto premium store during tho first few days. "For many years," said Mr. Carroll "Kirk & Co. havo given away premiums I exchange for wrappers. Mauy of these premiums are of exceptional value, many aro beautiful for decorative purposes and great many are useful for various depart ments of the household. Exchangm aro effected for wrappers ranging In number from fifteen to tho thousands. As would natural tho moot valuable premiums arc not to 1)0 secured except In coccbango for a large number of wrappers. Until recently our premium business was conducted entirely by mall. Now wo aro experimenting with branch establishments. Wo put In a store at Chicago two weeks ago and tho Omaha storo Is tho second ono to bo tutablUhed. Tho Chicago venture has far exceeded our expectations and we expoct the same in Omaha." Tho pictures which aro given in exchange for wrappers aro particularly Interesting Many of them are reproductions of famoui paintings and aro sultablo to bo hung In ths most elegant apartments. There are de cidedly attractive pictures designed for the dining room.
