Helping llntul,
With almost ten months of the fiscal rear
7et to come the county road fund Is wiped
out. When claims to the amount of 50.42
sow In the hands of the county board's road
committee arc allowed the fund will be
overdrawn Just 377.25, and the county will
be left to go Into debt for the main
tenance of Its roads for the remaining ten
months of the fiscal year.
At Saturday's meeting of the county com.
raise-loners Mr. Ostrom had a resolution to
discontinue the service of the road gangs
ready for Introduction, but he withheld It
upon the promlso or Mr. Hofeldt to agree
with the two republican commissioners to
stop the work Immediately.
Later on Mr. Hoctor agreed to meet Mr.
Ostrom at the court house at 10 o'clock
Monday morning to go with him Into the
country to flop the road work. Up to the
noon hotn Mr. Hoctor had failed to put In
an appearance, and the road gang arc
therefore still putting In time.
From sixty to eighty men have been
drawing pay for working on county roads
during the past two months, and the work
they have accomplished Is not at all com
mensurate with the pay they havo drawn.
Mr Oatrom has been looking over the wo.k.
and he calculates that It has been costing
the county from 75 cents to $1 n yard for
moving earth, while ID cento Is considered
n hlnh rato when such work Is don under
contract.
Mont of the men employed In these road
gangs are from the rirst, Second and
Third wards, whero th democrats hope to
elect a commlnsloncr this fall. No report
of the amount of work done by these men
has been filed with tho board, nor docs th
tounty surveyor Inspect the operations.
Thi billu Just come In and the board allows
them without really knowing what It Is
paying for.
Two months ago, when the tax levy was
made, tho sum of S21.22S.66 became avail
nble for road work during the ensuing fiscal
year. A portion of this sum was applied to
the liquidation of claims left over from the
preceding year. Up to Saturday warrnnts
had been drawn against the fund for J20,
053.47, leaving n balance of Jl.lfi9.19. Claims
to tho amount of 1996.00 were allowed at
Saturday's meeting, reducing the balance
to $173.13, with $.'.50.42 of alms still In tho
hands of the road committee.

Stnte.
DENVER, Sept. C To the Editor of The
Bee:
Go travel mid the hills; their tuneful
winds
Play upon n myriad Hops, Invisible;
And winds and leaves and birds, and your
own thoughts
(Not the least glad), In wordless chorus
crowd
Around tho Thymelo of Nature."
Such was the voice 1 heard yesterday In
your city of Omaha. Trhe. this Is a city
beautiful for situation, owing mainly to tho
variety, elevation, and contour of Its bluffs
or hllls-as we Englishmen Would call them.
Will you permit a stranger tQ give a few
Impressions of a too brief visit amongst
you :
Obviously the first Is, amazement at the
dilapidated and crudo state of your roads
and paements in the heart of the city,
too It Is so obvious not a word more needs
to be said. The essential question Is. how
to Improve nt the least cost to the prop
erty holders or ratepayers. This Is not
easy of bolutlou; the cause is only too ob
vious. I ascended the tower of your High school;
It was at onco seen you are too attenuated
too widely scattered. You are occupying
ten miles when you should 911 only three.
Concentrate, concentrate, concentrato; imi
tate the bees, who could never accumulate
honey If they copied your clttrens. I know
well the answer ono would get; It Is true,
nevertheless.
How Is It posttbln any street surveyor can
put Into, or keep In proper order, -streets
nnd avenues, five and six miles apart, with
tho vote or tax which should be confined to
two or three miles?
In my city of Manchester, England, ex
pansion Is contiguous, street to street, till
these reach on to farm land and field; but
'tis an extension always from the center.
Hence, roads, footpaths, follow or precede
the dwelling:.
Wtien, from this elevation, I saw the
vacant, wild, weedy plots fields all among
elegant, beautiful and homely dwellings, I
felt, before your city becomes a close, com
pact and prosperous one, the owners of thosq
gaping patches should bo willing 'a cell at
reasonable prices; bo wi!7. to be other
Jonas throwing themselves overboard to
save the ship and ultimately themselves.
What a situation Omaha occupies on the
,An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method nnd beneilcial
effects of the well known remedy,
Brnui or Fios, manufactured by tho
CAuronKiA Tio Svnui Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid lnxa
tlvo principles of plants known to bo
medicinally laxative nnd presenting
them in tho form most refreshing to tho
tastn and acceptable to tho byatem. It
It the one perloct strengthening laa
ji r1.cn,isluff the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevcrr
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome, habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and It acting on the kidneys,
liver and boweln, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In tho process of manufacturing figs
arc used, as they arc pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtalaed from tcnna and
other aromatio plants, by a method
knofrn to the CAuronxiA Fio Svncp
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects aud to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of tho Company

margin of a great river and a boundless
country! As I traveled hither yesterday, on
leaving your city, miles endless miles of
magnificent land passed before my envious
and astonl&hed sight. Here, close at hand,
far off, to the utmost limit of sight, 1 saw
our Devonshire, Wiltshire, Lincolnshire and
Sussex (magnificently farm lands as these
are) all rolled Into one.
Ah I gazed and gazed on these swelling,
undulating and magnificent lands on the
vast cornfields followed, ultimately by Il
limitable fields of grass and hay, my amaze
ment rose to wonder and admiration I said
to myself: "Here Is a state whose own re
sources could supply the needs of alt
Europe." It does not take many hours to
traverse the whole of England and Scotland
from north to south, ye" here wo were trav
eling one whole day all through a land with
only one railway cutting of about fifteen
deep! This, to me, tec;s' -".e of the most
marvellous features; hour after hour this
wonderful Union Pacific's mighty train
train rushed along an absolutely level plane.
1 felt a sense of gratitude to the original
promoters of so gigantic an enterprise by
which one could traverse amid such com
fort and ease, and sco In a single day so
much of this country.
it would, probably, only make your read
ers smile, with all this illimitable wealth
and glory always before their eyes, were 1
to say how 1 gazed and gazed upon what
seemed an interminable picture. My eyes
ached, for I did not wish to lose n single
passing feature, till at last day Itrolf, as
though weary of shewing so much, departed
"and night threw hor mantle down, pin
ning It with a star." and wo closed our
eyes with excited expectancy of the coming
day, when the object of our coming west
will burst upon out1 view.
Ahl here at Denvor. at lost I sing;
"Above me are the Alps
The palaces of Nature the thunderbolt of
siinw,
As to shew how earth tnny climb to
heaven,
And leave vain man below."

natives who were running away with stolen
goods held on to their bundles. The horse

G. Fred Elsasser, treasurer of Douglas
county. Is the first custodian of public
funds In the state of Nebraska to comply
with the demand of the republican party
that the people be given Information as
t' the whereabouts of public moneys. Mr.
Elsasser has furnished The Bee with a
statement of the condition and depository
of county funds at the beginning of each
month since he has been In office, which
statement Is herewith published. Along
with the statement Mr. Elsasser sends the
following letter:
OMAHA. Sept fi.-To the Editor of The
Bee; During my absence from the city It
was suggested by the newspapers that 1
make a statement showing the disposition
of county funds In my possession. I ob
serve that subsequently ii republican news
paper Insisted that this statement should bo
for every month of the twenty months dur
ing which I have been In olllce I cheer
fully comply with this suggestion and In
closo n statement for each and every month
from January. 1!v, to August 31, 1901. In
clusive, which statement I request you to
lay before the people.
The Inclosed stntement shows the amount
of money on hand In the county treasurer-
olllce each month, together with the where
abouts of the money. t'nder the law the
county Is not permitted to nceept less than
3 per cent Interest on Its county funds. The
banks of Omaha will not pay a per cent In
terest on these funds, nnd the county treas
urer 1 not authorized to accept any less
than that rato. consequently no Interest has
been paid to the county on those funds.
I desire to say also that because of this 3
per cent law nnd the refusal of the banks
to pay the rate of Interest the banks have
not paid any Interest on county deposits
since I assumed the office of county treas
urer. I have not received, either for hc
county or for my personal use. one penny
of Interest on deposits of county money at
any time since I became county treasurer.
1 beg to add that I do not make this state
ment In compliance with any resolution
that may have been adopted by the rcpub
llonn state convention. The statement Is
made In renponse to a public demand
thrcugh the press. I conceive It to be the
duty of every custodian of funds to tike
the people Into his confidence concerning
the whereabouts of public money whenever
demand to that effect has been made upon
him. Yours truly.

How many a woman dates a life of
chronic invalidism from baby's birth.
She tries "different doctors and different
medicines" with lit
Itle benefit. Then,
fortunately her at
tention is called to
the remarkable cures
resulting from the
use of Dr. Pierce's

the medicine a trial.
Her experience is
that of ninety-eight
women out of every

ills she is cured.
Dr. Tierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription
is peculiarly a

Its use before ma

gives the mother strength to nurse

women and cures them permanently.
There is no alcohol, opium, cocaine or

BAN ON MIDDLE HAIR PART
llnuscmn Pnrk llriiKKlaf Smldenl' Be
comes nn Arbiter of 1'imlilon
for Clerks.
The fashion Is drug clerks Is changing. A
glance at the following want "ad" will
show that the soda mixer, who parts h's
hair In the middle, will soon be known only
through history:
A DRl'O clerk, registered, one who
parts his hair on the side, 1S01 Park
ave.
This want "ad." oame near making a
rough house at the drug store of S. L. Hcst
wood & Co., 1E01 Park avenue, and has
created much excitement among the fash
ionable young women of tho Hanscom
park district, who havo a weakness for
strawberry clncecs.
It was supposed that the "ad." was a
personal slap at Goveruor Rutherford B.
I Hayes, a great social favorite In that ex
clusive section ol the city. Hayes was cm
ployed In the Hestnood store until yester
day. He was always Immaculately dressed.
1 Ho parted his hair In the middle and gavo
It a pharmaceutical twist. He had nice
manners and his skill as a maker of tem
perance drinks crowned all his other vlr-
' tucs and made him a leader in society.
The; Wnut Mini Dim 11 Town.
A few days ago the man with the dis
tinguished name had an offer from a down
town drug store and notified his employer
that he would quit In a short time. Then
the terrible "ad." appeared In the paper.
When Governor Rutherford B. Hayes sat
down to breakfast yesterday morning at Mn.
Dennis' boarding houso all the women
boarders were giggling and the men were
laughing boisterously. They had found
the "ad." and were making merry over It.
It was an open Insult. 'Hayes left In In
dignation and sought Mr. Hestwood. He
must know whether the allusion to hair
parted dn the side was published especially
for his benefit. The proprietor of tho drug
store assured Hayes that be was tired of
clerks with hair parted In tho middle.
"I have no fault to find with your work
and did not write the 'ad.' for the pur
pose of humiliating you," were the reas
surlrg words of the proprietor of the
store.
But they could not calm the anger of
Hayes. He asked that his resignation bs
accepted at once and left the Hanscom
Park drug store never to return.
Plenty of Appllcnut.
"I've had eighteen applicants for the place
already. All of them had their hair, parted
on the side but one. He was bald-beadel,
but said that before be lost his hair he al
ways had It parted well to the left of bis
head," said Mr. Hestwood In d scucslng the
"ad."
"But hat objection do you have to clerks
who part their hair In the middle, Mr.
Hestwood?"
"Well they usually smoke cigarettes, weir
fancy vests and want to stand around and
look pretty all the tine. Of courre this
isn't true of all the clerks who panto their
hair down. Th last two men Vo ha I
were ull right, but I'm tired of men with
curU so carefully laid out and want a
change. It's good workers and not goad
lookers that I'm looking for."
