A. W. Jcffcrls and John W. nattln re
turned (rom a successful mission to
Hastings yesterday, having from Governor
elect Dietrich the promise to appoint
Dr. J. Cameron Anderson of Omaha surgeon
general of tho gubernatorial staff. Dr.
Anderson has also called upon the gov
ernor at his homo within the last few
days and his application has had tho writ
ten endorsement of a largo number of
prominent republicans of Douglas county.
Tho uppolntco has lived In Omaha for two
years and holds tho chair of surgery (it
the Omaha Medical college He Is also
official surgeon at the county hospital,
While- the position Is largely honorary,
there being no compensation attached ex
cept during actual field service, the surgeon
general has It In his power to bo a great
factor tor good In tho state mllltla It he
has the time and Inclination to devoto to
tho service. Tho Nebraska statutes place
large power In his hands, giving him gen
eral supervision and control over the medi
cal and surgical branches of the National
guard. It Is In his provlnco to excuses
militiamen from duty on a showing of
physical disability and he Is oxpected to in
spect the hospital scrvica and ussura him
self that the sick are properly cared for.
The offlco hno hitherto been a thing of
tinsel and gold bmid, but In the hands of
Dr. Anderson, enthusiastic In his calling
and possessing prlvato means which give
him more or less control over his time, tho
urgcon generalship will become an ap
prcclablo part of tho militia service.
Oovornor Dietrich will comploto the
makeup of his personal staff without delay,
as ho wlstes It to be well organized and
acquainted with Its several duties by
March i. Tho governor mado the announce
ment. Informally to Mr. Jeffcrls and Mr.
Batttn that tho Nebraska delegation will
hold a placo second to nono In tho luaugurnl
parade. He has had an oillcial lntlmitlon
from Washington that tho administration
wishes to acknowledge the yeoman servlco
done by Nebraska republicans durtng tho
campaign and that thoy will come In for
ospcctal honor. The governor naturally
desires theicfore that his personal retlnuo
hall be well chosen and equlppod for the
occasion.
Tho adjutant generalship now held by
General Harry has not as yet been provided
for. Colonel KUllan of the First Nebraska
being given prominence for the position
Just now by a number of his regiment. He
would be tho natural choice through
seniority of position, Inasmuch as tho gov
ernor has announced that one of the "Fight
ing First" will be given the preference.
Colonel Kllllnn Is said, however, not to en
joy high favor with several prominent re
publicans and his appointment Is thereby
rendered somewhat doubtful. Other hon
orary positions on tho governor's staff have
been filled by the appointment of C. J.
Miles of Hastlngb and Mr. Jenkins of Fair
bury.
The townspeople of Governor-elect Diet
rich proposo to express their Joy In his
success by an unrivaled ratification to bo

successful state and leglslatlvo candidates
will be present and largo delegations will

tho stato. Tho program will consist of a
grand parade, a dinner, exchanges of toasts
and other ceremonials.
A number of Douglas county republicans
endeavored to arrange for a special train
for tho occasion, but have abandoned that
ambitious project In favor of an Informal
attendance. Tho rates hoped for could not
be secured and the 200 excursionists be
spoken for tho project were thereforo un
able to keep up their total.
Thcro will still bo a representation of
about fifty present, however, and the clty'a
congratulations will be properly extendod
to tho governor-olcct. The Swedish league
has been especially prominent in tho ex
curslon and the following will go to Hast

Ham Cat alley will be a thing of history
If the advisory board continues tho policy
adopted at Its meeting yesterday after
noon. Five of the buildings which shelter
residents of that notorious portion of the
Ity will be destroyed within two weckB In
plte of the protests of owners who ap
peared before the board. Owners of other
ramshackle buildings In that vicinity have
been notified that they will bo given a
chance to appear beforo tho board at the
next meeting and show why their houses
should not bo destroyed. Mrs. O'Oorrann,
who owns several one-story houses which
re to be destroyed under the order of
tho building Inspector, tried to persuade
tho board that her houses were too gtod
to bo demolished, but her protests were
f no avail.
Four ono-story frame building located nt
218, 220, 222 and 224 North Twelfth street
nd throe frame houses at 113, 115 and 117
North Tenth street are tho buildings which
tho board will next Investigate at tho sug

After hearing complaints concerning the
ale yard which is located on Hurt street
near Twcnty-flfth street, tho board decided
that tho yard is run In violation of the
Ity ordinance prohibiting stockpons
within the city limit and advised tho com
plainants to bring action In police court.
Several meat commission men attended
the meeting for tho purpose of protesting
against tho proposed rules for tho Inspec

was postponed .'or two weeks.
NO FEARS FOR THE FUTURE
Conditions In Oniulin l'olnt Toward
Steady Growth nnd Increased
Vulnes In llenltv.
Tho second ot a scries ot addresses be
foro the Omaha Real Estate exchange wan
delivered at the noon meeting yesterday by
W. S. Poppleton. Remarks will bo mado
at each ensuing Wednesday meeting by
experts on Omaha real estate and these, It
Is believed, will bo helpful to owners and
agents alike. Mr. Poppleton's subject was
'Omaha Real Estate Interests."
Mr. Poppleton bolleved thnt the real
estate tax In Omaha Is out of proportion to
tho personal assessment. The latter, ho
thought, should bo given more promlncnco
with tho Idea ot lightening the burden of
tho property owner. Excessive taxation,
Mr. Poppleton said, Is but another form ot
confiscation.
Tho speaker took a sanguine view of tho
present condition of tho realty market of
Omaha and local conditions In general. He
expressed tho belief that property values
would IncioiBo from three to sixfold dur
ing tho libxt five years and that the popu
lation of the city would grow 30,000. As
to tho present census figures ho believed
It best to accept them as true, each citizen
meanwhile going to work valiantly In the
city's interest.
Mr. Poppleton expressed his disapproval
of any further bond Issues. If a suburban
railroad or other enterprise Is a good thing
ho believed In giving private capital a
chanco to handle It rather than to add to
the weight of taxation already too heavy
upon owners of realty.
COUNTY MUST CONTROL RATES

The county commissioners have deter
mined not to grant to the promoters of tho
projected Omaha & Fremont Electric Rail
road company the right of way over tho
county roads without Imposing checks nnd
regulations to guarantee a certain amount
of control to tho county. The commis
sioners want the privilege ot fixing the
maximum rates tho new company will be
entitled to charge for both freight and
passengers. They will demand that tho
work of constructing the lino bo com
menced not later than next June, Instead
of on November 1, ns proposed by tho pro
moters. Another Important question under
consideration Is that ot a bond to Insure
tho fulfillment of a contract with the com
pany governing tho details of tho con
struction agreement. These questions and
many others slmllnr In kind were discussed
by the commissioners as a committee of the
whole durtng two long sessions yesterday.
Another meeting will bo held today and It
Is expected that the terms on which tho

lent Practices of These
Smooth Swindlers.
Tho green goods men, n class technically
known as "boodlcrs" by the United States
secrot service, have apparently begun a
campaign of tho west, with tho object of
parting criminally Incllnod "suckers" from
their wealth.
Captain John Webb, secrot servlco op
erator In Omaha, is In receipt of a com
munication from one of the pnrtles np-'
proached by one of the men, enclosing one
of the circulars sent out. Tho letter Is
without date or signature nnd announces
that the writer, for years nn employe of
tho government ofllco of engraving and
printing, during which tlmo ho was on
gagod In the work of making plates for
one, five and ten-dollar bills, has mado
exact copies of tho originals, which cannot
bo detected, and for tho sum of $600 will
send to the person addressed enough of
tho spurious paper to mnke him Inde
pendently wealthy. The letter concludes
with an offer to send a samplo of tho coun
terfeit money, which eon be submitted to
any test beforo the money Is sent.
Enclosed with the larger circular Is an
other, In which the prospective purchaser
of "green goods" is cautioned not to write
letters to the address given, but to copy
tho nppended message nnd forward It by
telegraph lo tho address given, which Is:
"E. Mpycnrd, Allcntown, Pa." Tho mcssago
is: "Send Ivc's Electric licit Number 346."
Tho message Is to be signed only with
tho Initials ot the Hcnder. Upon its receipt
a letter will bo sent containing a sample
of tho "goods" and fixing nn nppolntment
for tho delivery of any further quantity
that may be desired.
nunys Secret Service OOlcers,
"This business," said Captain Webb yes
terday, "does not properly fall under the
Jurisdiction of tho secret service depart
ment of the treasury, but the officers havo
been troubled with them so often that it
has beon decided to lssuo a circular on tho
BUbJcct. Every day or two we recolvo
letters from persons who have received
these circulars offering to unearth a gang
of counterfeiters if wo will employ them.
Invariably tho reply of the office is:
Your letter of recent date In received.
I' rom Its tenor I am led to Infer that the
party offering to sell counterfeit money
Is of the numerous class of swindlers
known by tho title of "boodlem." Such
persons never deal In it, but make n
protense of olng so on purpose to Invelglo
dishonest persons. who would buy
counterfeit money If they co ' 1. Into part

getting counterfeit. These swindlers arc
usually located In largo cities, but New
lorlc contains by far tho larger number.
They send circular In Imitation of letters
by thousands all over tho country, Invit
ing their correspondents to visit New
York, naming tne hotel at which they
Hhould stop and offering them great Induce
ments to purchase. Thoso who go after
hucu uiirR.uns never ouiain counterfeit
money, and seldom return home without
leaving all of their good money In the
hands of these plausible - but dangerous
men.
Another prnctlco Is to toll on their
Ictlms by sendlne a cenulno SI or S2 note.
or purts of tho snme, nnd representing
them to bo specimens of tho counterfeit
notes thoy have for sale.
Under the various names nf "creen

etc., they offer for sale counterfeit money
which they aver Is printed on plates Rtnlcn
from the Ilureau or lingrnvlng and Print
ing of tho government. Nnt n plate of any
kind has ever been stolen from that
establishment.
Thoso who havo counterfeit money for
sale do not write letters requesting
strangers to buy It. Even after the In
troduction ot a new man Dy one counter
feiter to another. It takes u long time
to establish sucn rricniny rc.'ntions as
would Induce n counterfeiter to trust a
newcomer.
Yet thousands of criminally foolish people
believe that they can purchase counterfeit
money us they would butter or cheese, and
In their attempts to obtain It, aro robbed

THIEF LEAVES BUT ONE TRAIL
Marauders of Ward Alley Chicken
Coop ISnters Boost, hut Appar
ently Does Not Kmerjie.
Tom Baker of Ward alley haB lost the
last of his flno flock of Plymouth Rocks, and
the officer on the Webster street beat has
mado report to this effect. Thero are cer
tain other facts, however, in connection
with this theft which tho patrolman thought
too trivial to mention and, had Baker not
called today nnd roportod them In person,
tho department might never have known
that Ward alley boasts a chicken thief who
walks backward.
Baker arose yesterday morning beforo
daylight and built a fire. Then, taking the
coal scuttle, started out to replenish his sup
ply of fuel. He observed that tho ground was
covered with a beautiful coating ot snow
and might havo given vent to a burst ot
poetical sentiment In Its praise had not his
attention been diverted by the sight of
frosh footprints in the element. Tho prints
pointed toward bla chicken house.
Climbing upon a dry goods box Baker
surveyed his immedlato surroundings and
noted that tho tracks pointed but one way
they led toward the chicken house, but not
away from It. From this fact he concluded
tho thief was still tn the building. He re
turned to the house for his pistol and
mounted guard over tho entrance ot his
hennery, remaining there until tho sun
climbed up over tho eastern hills.
Then ho concluded to "rush" the thier,
Thrusting bis pistol In front of him at arm's
length ho entered the "roost," only to find
It vacant.. Tho thief was goue, so were tho
chickens. Even tho rooster with tho frozen
toc3 was not In his wonted placo. Then
Baker carao to tho conclusion that the ma
rauder had backed out of the yard with his
plunder, being careful to step In tho foot
prints he had made tho first trip.
FiNNEGAN IS GONE AGAIN

Friends Fall lo Have It
Itcmlttcd,
A peculiar sequel has developed In the
case of James Flnnegan, tho farmer lad
from Schuyler, Neb., who celebrated hi
arrival In Omaha Sunday by beating Wll
Ham Rtordan with a pair of brass knucks
It will be remembered that he was fln'jd $!
and coBts In pollco court Monday. Wednes
day, through tho agency of frlend3, h
sought to have tho mayor romlt tho fine
upon the ground that It was excessive.
"I'll admit that Flnnegan Btruck him
said tho mediator to Chief Donahue, "and
that when Rlordan appeared against him 1
court his face was frightfully disfigured
but Fluiiegan didn't disfigure him. That
was done when Rlordan fell oft the trnl
botween here and South Omaha Sunda
morning, Rlordan had It In for Flnnega

CENTRAL FALLS INTO line I
Hriluces Its Time Schedule Between
Oiiialui nnd CIiIciiko to Corre
spond with Competing Lines.
After December 1 the Illinois Central
tit reduco Its schedulo to meet the fastest
time mado by any of Its competitors be
tween Omaha and Chicago, At present the
Central makes the run between these two
ttlcs In fifteen hours. All ot tho other
roads cover the distance In about fourteen
hours.
Tho Illinois Central will put Into effect
December 1 a now card that will make Its
schedulo exactly fourteen hours. The fact
that tho Central officials deem their new
track Into Omaha capable of permitting
uch fast tlmo to be made, after its being
n uso for such a snort time, proves how
thorough was the work of construction in
tho new line from Tara through to Omaha,
From the first tlmo that trains wero run
over tho new pleco of road its construc
tion was a marvel to experienced railroad
men. There seemed to bo no necessity for
Its settling, for tho Initial train ran over
the track with ns llttlo Jar as though It
had been In uso for years. Discretion
prompted the Central officials to nllow n
reasonable length of tlmo for the track to
assume Its permanent condition nnd no
ttempt nt fast running has been made.
Officers of the road maintain that the
roadbed from Tara to Omaha has reached
tho point of excellence chracterlrlng tho
main line from Tara through to Chicago
and thoy Insist that any tlmo thoy might
ttempt to make would be accomplished
with absolute safety.
Thero will be no change In tho hour of
cparture of the Central's fast night train
to Chicago from Omaha. It will continue
to leave hero at 7:45, but will arrive in
Chicago at 9:35 tho next morning Instead
of 10:20. Westbound, the through train
will contlnuo to leave Chicago as at pres
ent, at 5:15 p. m., nnd will nrrlvo In Omaha
at 7:15 n. m., an hour earlier than at
present.
BOY MAKES GOOD BARGAIN
Trad.es n. Scarlet Fever l'lnonrd for n
Statuette with nn Armenian
Curio Dealer.
Joo Mlrovel, an Armenian who deals In
ruga, shawls, laces and bric-a-brac In his
llttlo shop at 1203 William street, and
lives in the rear, had reason yesterday to re
gret that he never learned to read English.
Ho can apeak It fairly well, but If be could
have read It he might have been spared tho
Inconvenience ot arrest and tho possible
loss of several customers.
Tho sign "Scarlot Fover" in screaming
black letters upon a red background has
been displayed in Mlrovcl's front window
for several days. OfScer Carroll, In walk
ing his beat, observed It and, thinking ot
his own llttlo ones at homo, gave tho placo
wide berth, but Tuesday afternoon he saw
something which caused him to suddenly
change his tactics. A little girl about 8
years old camo tripping down the street
nnd disappeared in tho curiosity shop,
Instantly Jerry s sense of duty nsacrted
Itself. Striding into tho store, he con
fronted Mlrovel and took him to task tor
violating tho city's health laws. It must
have been that the dealer was Insufficiently
penitent, for he was arrested and taken to
tho station. '
Yesterday In police court he seemed mys
tified.
"Aro any members of your family ill with
scarlet fever?" asked tho Judge.
Tho defendant didn't understand.
"Aro they sick?" ropeatcd his honor.
Aro any of your children sick?"
Mlrovel managed to have It understood
that thero was no Blckness In his household.
"But you havo a 'scarlet fever' card In
your window."
The dealer's eyes nnd mouth opened nnd
ho had the appearanco of ono in whoso
brain an idea is taking shape.
"Why," ho stammered in his broken
English, "I gavo a boy a statuette for that
card. Ho told me It read, 'Curios Sold
Here!"
Mlrovel was discharged.

NEW VIADUCT TARES ON FORM
Propotty Owners Give a Qualified Consent to
Wave Damages.
EARTHWORK IS SAID TO EXTEND TOO FAR
Itnllronds Begin Their I.nhor
Promptly nnd Iron for Twenty
Fourth Street Structure Is
Sow on the Ground.
The Southwest Improvement club mot
last night to discuss the report ot the com
mittee appointed to secure a waiver of
damages from property owners affected by
tho construction ot tho Twenty-fourth
street viaduct.
Tho commlttco reported that it had met
Messrs. It. S. Hall, A. L. Reed, Judge Per
kins and Daniel Bhull and discussed the
matter with them; that tho owners found
fault with tho plans ot the viaduct ns pre
sented for tho rcaeon that the earthen em
bankment on the north end was too long.
They believed that tho spnns should bo
high encugh at all points to permit the
par.sago of trains under tho viaduct. They
further claimed that tho portion of Twen
ty-fourth street over which the viaduct
would pans had never been dedicated as
a public street and they asked that they
bo given control of tho land under the
roadwnr.
The city engineer emphatically denied
that right and It was finally decided hy
the men affected that If two more spans
should be put Into tho viadnct and the
earthwork shortened fifty feet, they would
probably Blgn tho waiver of damages. The
matter was delayed by the death nt a
relative ot Mr. Hall and the question will
bo decided upon tho lattcr's return to
Omaha.
Tho commltco further reported that the
prospect for the construction of tho Tin
duct is bright, but tho matter Is completely
tied up until the property owners act. Tho
commlttco was authorized to carry on ne
gotiations until tho next meeting, at
which, It was stated. Mr. Hall and the
other Interested parties would be present.
It was reported that the railroad com
pany had placed the Iron on tho ground
for the construction of tho span oTcr the
tracks 146 feet.

TRAINED NURSE TELLS HER
EXPERIENCE WITH
DR. GREENE'S NERVURA
TRAINED NtirtSE, MP.S. AN.SIE 0. DUOOA.
Mrs. Annie O. Dugfran, f " St. Charles Street, Iloston, Mass., for fifteen
vearu has been employed uk a nurho in the Iloston Hospital. I ler reputation
In her profession Is ot the hlphest, and her opinion, thnt Dr. Greene's Nervttra
blood and nervo remedy will euro rheumatism, Is therefore worthy of thi
greatest consideration.
Mits. Duqoan says:
" I was troubled with sciatica for orer four months, nnd was treated by three different
physlnlnns, but received no rellof. As n last resort my friends ndvl.sed my trying Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood nnd nerve remedy, which I diet, and In six weeks I was a well
woman. Although it was four years ago, 1 hme had no return of tho trouble.
"My sister also was troubled with rheumatism, and I advised her to try Dr. Greeno's
Nervura, which she did, and received great relief from it. I consider Dr. (Ireoue's Nervura
a godsend to mo, and gladly recommend it."
Rheumatism Is a blood disease. The circulation is impaired, nnd the blood
becomes stug-nant and impure. Dr. Greene's Nervura cures rheumatism by
restoring normal conditions, no that a moderate uso of tho remedy will cnuso
tho diienso to disappear. Of purely vegetublo origin, Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy ucts In con:crt with natural lawn uud produces Its
permanent effect by feeding nnd enriching the blood supply. It Is an ideal
tonic when run down or exhausted, and nothing can exceed its Inherent power
to cure the lingering diseases that wreck the lives nnd hones of men and women.
Dr. Greene was many years discovering nnd perfecting the medicine which wus
finally offered to the world as Nervura, and his earnest nnd skillful work has
been demonstrated by the record of cure which this remedy has made during
many years.
If you are afflicted with nny chronic trouble, get Dr. Greene's
special advice, which is given free to all who ask for It. Write or
call personally at his address, 35 West Uth Street, New York City.
Dr. Greene has cured thousands. Let him cure you.

gathered to hear Messrs. Prlmroso und
Dockstader and their company ot black

theijjselves" was evident, for thero was
scirceTy a moment when tho audience was
not lu merry mood, and tho applause be
stowed upon tho performers was both
spontaneous nnd hearty.
As n matter of fact, tho entertainment
wus worthy of tho roccptlon with which
It met. Every act was new and wonder

There were new songs, now dialogues, new

offend and not a word was said during
tho entire performance that could not with
equal propriety have been Bpokcn In

fun and for this Messrs. Prlmroso and
Dockstader deserve the thanks ot the
theater-going public.
