A man about 35 years of ago, believed to
Vo 0. S. Moss of lrvltiRton, was fouud In a
dying condition nt C:30 n. m. yesterday nt
tho foot of an embankment near tho Elk
born rnllroad bridge at tho Intersection of
Thirtieth street. A physician and on
nmhulnnce were telephoned for at once,
but the man died before they arrived. Iloth
his lc8 were nut off below tho knees. It
was evident that tho wheels of a train had
passed over them and that In trying to
drag his mangled body nwny tho victim
had crawled over tho brink of tho Incline
md rolled to tho bottom, a dlstanco of
nearly twenty feet.
Shortly nfter G o'clock h. Counccllor, a
porter at tho Merchants' hotel, whllo on
bin way to work, heard u faint volco In tho
weeds near the road saying. "For Ood's
sake give mo waterl I am dying!"
Going to tho spot, Counccllor found a
man lying In a pool of blood and water,
with both legs doubled under him In an
lmposslblo position, his clothing torn and
his livid faco smeared with mud, He was
evidently dying and could only gasp a few
Incoherent words. Counccllor ran for as
sistance nnd when ho returned a few min
utes Inter tho man was dead.
A letter In bis pocket, mailed nt Spear
flsh, S. U., was addressed to O. S, Moss.
Irvlngton. Nob. This was the only clue
to his Identity. There was no other writ
ing on his person, no money nnd the only
other artlolo In tils pockets was n pleco of
tobacco.
Tho body was taken to the undertaking
rooms of tho coroner, where It will be held
to nwalt Identification.
Tho deceased was tall, of slender build,

to 30 cents per can containing two gallons.
It Is said that thero will bo no correspond

eighteen quurts for $1.
Dealers who nnnounco tho ndvanco say
thero Is a marked shortage In tho milk
supply, one dealer reporting a shortage of
.000 gallons per day. This Is nccounted
for by reason of tho hot weather of the
summor, which caused many of tho cows
to go dry nnd they have not resumed their
usual supply of milk with tho coming of tho
autumn months. Ono dealer announces
that ho will, nfter tho ndvanco In price,
Increase his herd of cows sovcral hundred
and will start to feeding them sclontlllcally
to lucroase the milk supply. This, ho says,
he has not been warranted In undertaking

It Is almost Impossible to keep run of tho

Tho reduction In prices at tho mills has
resulted In n corresponding reduction In tho

tirnlter it nil the Victim Cuu
hiiIIm the Police.
Mrs. It. JI. Long, who stopped In Omaha
temporarily on her way from tho cast to
her homo In Montnna, complained to tho
police yesterday that sho had been duped by
u stylish young woman, a stranger, whom
she met Thursday In one of tho department
stores. According to tho story tho young
woman seemed to take- n great fancy to
Mrs. Long. Together they took several
street car rides, during which the adventur
ess dilated eloquently upon tho various
points of interest along tho way, and when
finally Mrs. Long expressed a destro to go
to a dentist's her cicerone had tho namu
and address of ono at her tongue's end.
"Sho nont up with me," said Mrs. Long,
"nnd sut thero waiting whllo the dentist
was working on my teeth. Then sho said
sho was thirsty; sho would go down and
get a sodawater and bo back in n few min
utes. That was tho lau I snw ot her.
When I got out of tho operating chair I
found sho had taken my pockotbook, which
contained $22 In money and my railroad
ticket, so now I'll have to stay In Omaha
until I can get a fresh supply ot funds
from homo."
Tho police think they know this female
contldoiiro worker and hope to bavo her
undor arrest before night.
This Is not the first complaint of tho kind
that has como to the police during the last
ten days concerning the exploits ot this
daring adventuress. Several other women,
two of whom live In Omaha, havo called at
tho station to tell hard luck Btarles In
which she figures as tho female villain. In
all thetso sho appears uniformly laUyllko nnd
always worms herself Into tho good graces
of her victim before attempting to lleeco
her. In ono Instance sho went out to a
fashionable -homo on tho west sldo to apply
for a position as chambermaid and before
leaving had gono over tho entlro house with
her prospective mistress as guide. Tho next
day Jewelry nnd brlc-a-brac to tho value of
$30 were missing. In anothor Instance she
helped r woman hook her wnlst In a fash
ionable dressmaking parlor and during the
process managed to stenl a gold watch from
her belt.
it up and traded It to a friend for anothor
watch, getting fl "to boot."
Officers Wooldrldge nnd Gibbons, who
mado the arrest, wrung a confohslon from
Hlcheson, wherein ho ndmltted tearing out
tho Inside case which hole tho owner's
lianio In full, and burying it under the floor
of a barber shop In which ho works on Six
toonth street' near Capitol nvenue. Tho
officers went there, tore up tho floor nnd
found tho tiny pinto of engraved gold.
Judge Gordon held thnt because tho prls.
oner found tho watch on the street ho was
not guilty of having stolen It, oven though
he saw tho owner drop It a few seconds
before. This ruling f.o disgusted the ar
resting officers that they recommended tho
prisoner's discharge.

Suflcrcra from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several Kcneratio:i3. 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 all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood- -every vestagc
ef it driven out. This S. S. S. docs, nnd
i3 the iftily medicine that can reach deepi
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins of ten in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :
A sm-ill pimple came on ny Jaw about on inch
