In this matter took all competitive roads

Karly in tho summer tho Itoek Island
etolo a march on Its competitors by an
nouncing low-rate castboitnd excursions
from Colorado points. All of tho roads fol
lowed tho lead set by the Hock Island nnd
tho Inauguration of these cxcurnlona has
been ut'endud by entirely satisfactory re
sult. Tho Islington's present action Is
much similar to that of the Hock Island,
tho only difference bclHR the application of
tho rates from Nebraska to eastern points

"Our paramount Idea In thin matter," said
General PiissenRer A Kent Francte, "la to ad
Veritas Nebraska. How will low rntos that

LraskHnw who teke advantage of thene rates
to visit polntH In Iowa, Illinois and other
eastern states will bo progrcmlvo agricul
turists and bunlncss men lu tho nmaller
towns. They will avail themselves of tho
opportunity of going Into sections where
they havo mnny frlviidii. The prosperity
that has attended their elforta In Nebraska
will bo obvious. They will talk about the
Advantages of Nebraska, of Its rcsaurccs
and cnpnbllltlru and their own experiences
will bo cxaniploa of tho truth of their argu
neut. As a result roiho of their friends
mid nonurtlutanctH are likely to be struck
with tho Idea of Investigating theso things

farmer or buiinces man of moderate means
Into Nebraska, bent upon Investigating the
conditions, It N nlmcut certain that ho will

rato excursions to tho cast which wo are
uboul to establish will accomplish much

ticipate that wo will havo great crowds of

Sufferers from this horrible malady

remote ancestor, for Cnncer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly nnd perma
nently nil the poisonous virus must be

Will Scratch Tliem,
Itotall merchants to tho number of about
100 met at tho Commercial club rooms last
night for the purpose of taking act, on look
ing to tho abolition of trading stamps In
Omaha. Kvory lino was represented by
members present and not a man had a word
to say In favor of the adhesive stimulants
to trade. Every person who tpoko do-
nounced them as delusive and stated that
they absorbed from (30 to 1100 per month
of tho profits of the houses.
II. F. Hodglns w as elected chairman of
tho meeting and Ii. W. Dyball secretary.
In opening the meeting the chairman said
that sixty signature! had Leon obtained to
a pledge to discontinue the use of the
stamps under a penalty of 15 for each stamp
tucd after August 15. All persons present
signed this agreement except two. A mer
chant from South Omaha stated that the
retailers of that city had signed such an
agreement with tho exception of two men
rtnd that tho new order of things would
go Into effect Immediately, regardloas uf the
action of tho merchants of Omaha.
C. Jcpscn of 2320 Cuming ttrcot made a
strong address on the subject. Ho stated
that he had never used tho stamps nnd that
his trade was as good today as It over had
been; that tho use of tho stamps would havo
cost him from 1I.SC0 to 12.CO0 In the last two
years, something that tho business would
not warrant. Tho riuestloa of tho enforce
ment of tho contract between tho merchants
and tho stamp companies was taken up In
formally, It was statod that the contracts
would not bo enforced nnd that no attempt
had been tnado to enforce them at Kausas
City nnd Topeka, towns whero the mer
chants had recently discontinued their use.
i committee, was appointed to visit tho
merchants of tho city nnd securo their
signatures, tho agreement not to bo effec
tive until tho names of a majority of tho
firms using tho stamps have been secured.
This commltteo hold a session nfter tho
adjournment of the regular meeting and
elected a chklrmsn. It will report progress
at a meeting to bo hold next Tuesday night
at tho Bnme place.
A resolution was adopted declaring thnt
tho rctnll merchants of tho city would ren
der moral nnd financial support to Harry
A. Schuhl In any fight mado upon him by
mo iruuing stamp companies. Schuhl
started tho agitation In this city.

f. U. Havens & Co., coal dealers, havo
taken n somewhat unusual method of col
lecting a bill for ll.2C9.5l against tho Karr
Davldson Coal company, now out of busi
ness. When the latter firm closed its doore
tho plaintiff alleges that It wan Indobted In
the amount of 117,000 to various creditors.
Tho Havens company suys Its claim wan ac
knowledged In county court and a Judgment
was given for H.2G9.B4. Tho assets of tho
Karr company wcro largely absorbed, how
ever, and tho creditors were unablo to re
ultzo on their claims.
Tho Havens company has now taken an
other tack and Is bringing suit against the
Individual membcro of tho dissolved firm,
.Myron u. Karr, Charles II. Davidson nnd
Harry Johnson. Tho plaintiff alleges that
ut the tlmo of tho dissolution the Karr
company fHlIcd to publish a statement of
indebtedness In accordance with law. This
omission, tho Havens company bcllovcs, will
enable It to collect tho aniount duo from
tnoso who mado up the firm when the debts
wcro Incurred.

Tho agents of tho census bureau havo
finished their work with the larger manu
facturers and are now getting down to the
persons who do a smaller business. With
theso pcoplo there Is a great deal of trouble
in getting replies o questions, as nearly
every person thinks that tho Information Is
Intended to bo used for tho purpose of
levying taxes. At the shop of a blacksmith
In tho southern part of the city when the
agent called tho blacksmith started out to
answer freely. Ills wife was nt work In a
corner of tho shop and when tho question
was asked, "What bnvo been your profits
this year?" sho Jumped to her feet, and,
running to her husband, said: "John,
John, don't you no more answers make to
that spectacled man, for It will our taxes
Increase." Then John shut up like a clam
and It required all of tho threats that tho
agents aro authorized to make to elicit
tho desired Information.
"A general knowledgo of all sorts of
business Is a good thing for a special
agont to possess," said one of tho ngents,
"for In mp.sy cases tho small manufacturers
aro at u loss to know what answers to make
and we can help them out. Tnko tho case

that I fixed his output, for forty cigars

with his stamp record I found Vac cstltnato
practically correct. Tho next placo I visited
was a small shoo shop. Tho owner could not

him In a year. He showed me tho amount
of leather ho had on hand nnd said that he
could uso ten times as much. Tho Leather

value of his purchases. Uut where you can
not help them out Is In tho amount of
their gross receipts. Many of theso peoplu
keep no books nnd do not always chRrgo
tho samo price for work. Then tho agent
Is through figuring and the proprietor has
to guess."
Tho work of tho agents Is progressing aB
well as was expected and the middle of the
month will seo tho work completed In all
of tho towns outside of Omaha and Council
Illuffs. These towns may require work after
that time, but It is believed that tho dis

COUNTY DEMOCRACY'S ORGAN

The Douglas County Democracy Is going

las County Democracy Quill, with John 1C.
Reagan ns editor. It will make Its appear
ance weekly nnd Its promoters manifest the
utmost confidence thnt there will be millions
In It. Tho thing was exploited nt the meet
ing of the club last evening.
Tho County Democracy has received and
acknowledged an Invitation to attend tho
convention of democratic clubs at Indianap
olis In September, nnd upon the allowance
of one delegate for each club and one for
each 100 members, has modestly determined
to sond eleven delegates, which would In

that If the club organ docs not prosper It
will not be for want of a capablo circulation

South Omaha News . f.
An Interesting meeting of the Commercial
club Is booked for tonight. Secretary Wat-
kins has Just returned from his eastern trip
and will be present to tell tho club what ho
saw whllo nway nnd how other cities run
their municipal affairs.
For a long tlmo the club has contemplated
on excursion throughout tho state, with the
view of studying tho smaller towns lu Ne
braska and Incidentally advertising South
Oniahn. Thrco or four special cars will
bo provided for the purpose, strung with
banners, to mnko a proper Impression on
tho towns to bo visited.
Tho Interest that Is being taken In tho
Commercial club Is Increasing each day. Tho
organization has accomplished good work
nnd has advertised the town In u very ad
vantageous manner. Tho enrollment of tho
club now represents almost every repre
sentative business man In tho city nnd groat
expectations arc entertained for Its future
work.
Tho promoters of tho club aro dally In
receipt of praise for Its ngltatlon of tho
Vinton street pavement. This street has,
slnco tho existence of tho city, been In n
very deplorable condition. It was a common
sight for passengers on tho street car line
to witness cars with ropes attached to nilrcd
wagons, slowly tolling them to a placo of
safety and wolldlty. At every ruin and for
weeks thorcaftcr tho street was In such a
condition that a wagon could only drive on
tho rails of tho track, and when forced to
abandon this courso practically sank lu tho
mlrc.
A flno now pavement now adorns this
wholo streot nnd the car company followed
tho cxamplo by placing new rails throughout
tho length of Its line. This was done to
moot tho dally demands of tho club, which
eonl delegations to wait upon tho county
commissioners, tho street ear managers and
during tho Interval wroto letters.
Slnco this work has been accomplished so
satisfactorily, tho club will now toko up
other local Improvements nnd push them
to tho front. Tho thoroughfares of tho city
In tho neighborhood of Eighteenth between
N nnd O streets present a very unsightly
appearance. At this placo .thero Is a deep
hollow, which Interferes with traffic and
threatens tho safety of tho passersby. it
has been rumored for a long tlmo that an
effort would bo mndo either to partially fill
up tho hollow or bridge It nnd tho city
council will now be labored, with until
romethlng Is dono looking to tho street's
bettormcnt.
It may bo that nt tonight's meeting n
dcflnlto dato will be agreed upon as to when
tho Ollt-of-tOWn trlD will bf tflken. Thn
club will call upon tho" different packing
houses nnd nsk them to cpntrlbuto to tho
enterprise and tho railroads have volun
teered a Bpecial faro for the trip If a cer
tain number enn tio secured to go. What
tho route will bo Is unknown, but It Is sun-
posed to cover the oxtrcmo western pnrt
