School Dlrtctor Swalne yesterday morning,
as bo handed to President Hess of tho
Board of Education his reilsnatlon as chair
man of the committee on Janitors and sup
plies. Director Swalne'u action was the
result of the board turning down his rec
ommendations for Janitors at the Pierce
street and Twentieth avenue fcchools
Wednesday night.
Mr. Swalne's temper was somewhat ruffled
when his objections to placing Sirs. Graves
and Sirs. Sprague on the list of teachers
failed of their purpose, but the straw that
broke the camel's back camo when the
board refused to adopt the report of
Swalne'a committee, that Janitor Roberts at
the Pierce street bo superseded by a new
man and declined to retain the former Jani
tor at the Twentieth avenue school and
selected a new man over his head. This
was more than Director Swaine had looked
for and he exclaimed with considerable
vehemence, "This is tho last recommenda
tion I will make. "No attention was paid
by the other members to tho remark at
the time and his resignation as chairman
of an Important commlttco Ilka that of
Janitors and supplies camo as a surprise.
President Hess requested Mr. Swaine to
withdraw his resignation, but ho positively
refused."
Sirs. Kato Spraguo has been dropped from
tho list of teachers. After adopting the

tho property of Minnie Dunn, and later re'
leased, as she declined to prosecute, was
taken into custody again at an early hour
yesterday at the request of the Omaha
authorities. Balfour was wanted across
the river to answer to an alleged charge of
haymen. It was said that he had bitten a
pleco out of a young woman's ear during a
brawl in East Omaha a week ago. The in
formation filed against Balfqur In Omaha
charged him with assault to commit bodily
Injury. '
Balfour refused to go across tho river
without requisition papers and at once
brought habeas corpus proceedings in the
superior court to secure his liberty. Judge
Aylesworth had tho case before him yes
terday afternoon and granted the writ of
habeas corpus, holding that Balfour could
not bo extradited for a misdemeanor, such
being tho offense with which he was
charged. Tho court held that ho could only
bo extradited whero a felony had been com
mitted or charged. The evidence showed
that the Information fllod in Omaha was
defective. Inasmuch that It did not charge
him with assault to maim or wound or
even to do great bodily Injury. Balfour
was accordingly given his liberty.

ists are quietly working on the project.
The owners of the Des Moines electric rail
road system have laid their plans for a
trolley line to Wlntersct and from Winter
set to Crcston. Lyman Waterman of Omaha
and his associates are planning for a trol
ley line and this week they have bicn go
ing over the ground between Crcston and
Council Bluffs, with a view of extending
the line across the state.
If this is done, the complete line, con
necting with the electric road now being
constructed to Nevada and Eldora and
projected to Waterloo and Charles City, will
make the longest electric line In the world.
It parses through a fertile country and the
projectors believe that It will pay over
every mile of the way. The contracts will
be let Saturday here for grading and

STUBBS OUTLINES HIS WORK
To lie 'I'm III ( Autocrat nf llnrrliunti
Line Wel of Mis
souri. SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 20. J, C. Stubbs,
vice president of tho Southern Pacific,
whose appointment as traffic mauagcr of
tho vast system of railroads controlled by
tho Harrlman Interest Is announced from
Chlcngo, has arrived In this city. In speak
ing of the Innovation to be Introduced In
railroad mithods by tho creation of thi po
sition to which he has Just been annotated,
Sir. Stubbs explained the matter b; saying
that Sir. Harrlman had bten considering
for some time the feasibility and proba
bility of managing the traffic of the lines,
and he Is Interested In other affairs of the
road. He has talked oer the scheme with
other gentlemen who helped to frame the
policy and direct the fort-nes of the Union
Poclnc and Southern Pacific, and has
evolved a plan which, in Harrltnan's optn
Ion, ought to accomplish tho herctoforo
Impossible task of harmonizing the Inter
ests of the several Harrlman roads. As
Sir. Stubbs puts It, It Is a plan to bring
about a unification of 'nterests with a re
duction of friction, and the elimination of
unnecessary competition without consoli
dating the properties under one manage
ment. Under this plan on man Is to hav)
entire charge of the traffic of the tcvcral
corporations and In crder effectually to
divorce the traffic from the other affairs
of the road this ofllcUl will report directly
to tho board. This power and responsi
bility, comparable to no other history of
railroading, was offered to Sir. Stubts, and
ho accepted. The plan Is an absolutely
new one In rallronHlng.
Doc Sot Know III Title.
Sir. Stubbs does not even know what
title will be bestowed upon him. "I sup
pose," said he, "that It will be traffic
director,' or 'director of traffic' That U
a matter of detail that has not been con
sidered as yet. In a word," .Mr. Stubbs
wont on to explain, "I am to be placed In
entire charge of the traffic of the Southern
Pacific, tho Union Pacific, the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation company and the Ore
gon Short Line, and I will report to the
boards of directors of the several com
panies. Tha means that I am to report
direct to Sir. Harrlman.' The organization
is simply this: Each company has Its
board of directors, and each board of di
rectors has an executive committee, prs
slded over by a chairman. When the board
of directors Is In session It Is supreme,
and when the board Is not In session and
the executive committee Is holding a meet
ing the executive committee Is supreme.
When the executive committee is not lh
session the chairman of tho committee runs
things. E. II. Harrlman Is chairman of the
executive committee of the four roads.
"The other Harrlman roads, 3uch as tho
Illinois Central and the Chicago & Alton,
are not embraced In this arrangement. Sty
responsibilities will be confined to the lines
west of the river. This Is the territory
within which all the traffic troubles have
existed. There have been pools and gentle
men's agreements and they havo all failed
to solvo the problem. Now Sir. Harrlman
purposes to try this experiment of handling
the traffic of the lines over which he pre
sides. "I am relied upon to show Sir. Harrlman
and his associates that a systematic re
adjustment of the traffic methods of the
several roads In harmonious lines and an
economic administration of the afnatrs ot
the traffic departments will he attended by
greater profit. Sir. Harrlman has such an
Idea, and I am to demonstrate It to him In
nractlce. It is all new and experimental.
The pathway Is unblazed. Whether the re-1
suit will Justify the experiment remains
to be seen. I have no Idea whether or I
not the arrangement will be permanent.
Because of the novelty of my new position
and because I will live henceforth In Chicago
Instead of San Francisco, I am not as happy
over the change as I might be."
Surprise the President.
Sir. Stubbs says that tho new arrange
ment respecting himself was a complete
surprise to the presidents of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific, as it was to rail
road men In tho country who were not
prepared to see such a revolution In the
raethodu ot conservative railroad corpora
tions.
"The whole thing was cut and dried," ho
said, "before President Hays of the South
ern Pacific 'and President Burt ot the Union
Pacific reached Chicago. All that had to
be done when they arrived was to Inform
them of the fact."
Sir. Stubbs was asked If his promotion
would be attended by any other changes In
the general offices of the Southern Pacific
or In the traffic departments ot the other
railroads with which he will henceforth be
Identified. He said he saw no reason for
any changes and believed that all the pres
ent officials would hold their positions.
Sir. Stubbs said that when be left Chi
cago a plan was Deing' perfected to place
the traffic of the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and the Burlington In the
hands ot Darius Sillier, at present second
vice president of tho Great Northern, and
that there would, In all probability, bo
brought about a centralization ot the man
agement ot the Gould lines, Including the
Silssourl Pacific, Texas Pacific and Rio
Grando lines. Sir. Stubbs will leave hero
early In July for Chicago to enter upon
the duties ot bis new position.

Rheumails
Rheumatism is due to an excess of acid in the
blood. When this escapes through the pores of the

are suddenlv closed bv cxnosure to cold and sudden

extremely tender, the nerves break down nnd the sufferer is soon reduced to a state
of helplessness and misery. This ncid poison penetrates the joints and seems to
dry out the natural oils, and the legs, arms nnd fingers become so stiff and sore
that every movement is attended with excruciating pains.
Liniments, plasters, electricity nnd baths, while their use may gi'e temporary
ease, cannot be called cures, for the disease returns with every change of tht weather.
