Knrlj- Muriilnir Hour.
T. V. JohriHon, 2611 Seward gtrcet. did
orne strenuous hrnln work about 3 o'clnck
ycaterday morning while trying to flguro out
how he could dlsengnge hlmsolf from the
cumbersorao bcdclothlng underneath which
ho lay and prepare to attack tho burglar
in tho room without letting tho burglar
know ho (Johnflon) was awake. Ho knew
that tho slightest move on his part would
cause the springs to creak and then the
housebreaker would be upon him, or out of
tho window.
Meanwhile tho marauder wan rumaglng
through tho drawera of ho dresser. From
tho gas Jet, turned very low, 11 faint bluish
glimmer of light diffused Itself through tho
room. Tho Intruder stepped stealthily to
a chair across which lay JnhnBon's clothes
and began to rlflo the pockets. He went
about his work deliberately.
With a great clatter a wagon drove by
tho front of the house and Johnson thought
ho would make use of the sound to mruik
his movements, but the next moment ho
abandoned this plan ho felt tho oyea of
tho burglar upon Mm. Evidently that
worthy feared his host would be awakened
by the nobse, bo suspended operations until
tho vehicle had passed, crouching mean
whllo In a deep shadow. Quiet restored ho
addressed his attention to the articles on
tho mantel. lie was then within thrco foet
of Johnson, who was snoring Industriously
and soelng to It that his breath camo lu
deep and regular respirations.
It was about this time thut nr Idea pro
entcd Itself to tho unwilling host and tho
clock hadn't ticked twice till It wub car
ried Into execution,
SprliiK" t'lion the lliirKlnr.
With tenon nerves nml nil his energies
well In hand Johnson leaped from tho bed,
bearing tho blankets, sheets and quilts with
him, outspread lu bis nrms, and hurled
himself upon tho Intruder. It was a mo
tion such aa ono makes to extinguish n
blaze In a gasollno stovo about to explode.
Tho surprised burglar Iloundcred a moment
under tho avalanche of bedclothes, but
when Johnson iclaxcd Ills hold to reach for
a chair to be used as n bludgeon the ma
rauder broke away, stumbled over a patch
work quilt, rogalned his footing and an In
stant later disappeared through nn open
window Into tbu night.
Tho foregoing story was told to a police
man .who culled a few minutes Inter to In
quire tho nature of tho trouble and It was
repeated with additions and variations ut
tho station yesterday morning.
"As soon as ne disappeared," said John
on. "I ran out of the front door In my
night clothes, shouting 'stop thief!' nt the
top of my voice, but I couldn't see anything
of the burglar. A man about a block nway
camo running up nnd I told him what had
happened. Ho left, saying ho would notify
tho police
"Then I went back to seo how much the
follow bad stolon. I missed $1.35 out of
my trouscr pockets and a gold watch and
chain out of my vest pocket'. When It
began to get daylight I went around tho
houBo to see It I could nnd any footprints,
but the ground wns so thoroughly frozen
that I couldn't make out nnythlng. How
ever, I found tho watch and chain. It was
lying on tho ground by the back fence,
where the .fellow hail dropped It out of his
pocket as he Jumped over.
"I'll never try to squelch another burglar
under bedclothes," he concluded, "because
after this 1,'U have a gun undor my pillow."
Johnson was ablo to give only an Indif
ferent description of hla burglar, so the
police havun't much of a cluo to work upon.

TiiiiIkIiI;
The contract settling all litigation be
tween the Union Pacific and the city of
Omaha will be submitted to the city coun
cil nt Its meeting this evening. Tbo mem
bers of the council havo consented to bold
u brief session so that tho measure may bo
Introduced. A special meeting of tho gen
eral committee of the council will be held
at 10 o'clock Thursday morning to dtecusa
the measure.
Ooneral Solicitor Kelly and City Attor
ney Conncll appeared before tho council
men at thu general committee meeting yes
terday nfternoon and asked as a special
faror that the members hold a brief meet
ing this evening, In spite of tho fact that
It Is Christmas eve, to hear the first and
second rcndlns of tho contract.
Tho contract Is slightly amended on ac
count of a controversy concerning the title
of certain land Involved. City Attorney
Conncll saya that the change In the con
tract Is very alight nnd concerns certain
;lnndn which llo east of the ends of the
streets shown In the original plats of the
city. Since the streets In the vicinity of
tho Union 1'aclflc shops were laid out there
have been accretions, nnd many ncres of
land llo nlong the lovco which were not
shown In the original plats.
Ac tho contract was originally drawn 'the
Union Pacific agreed to deed this property
to tho city, stipulating that It would waive
tho title It held to tho property by virtue
of a deed mado many years ago. Tho city
has always contended that It owned the
property nnd does not recognize the deed
under which tho Union Pacific pretonds to
hold tho land. Mr. Conncll did not wish to
have this deed recognized In tho contract,
ho tho section wns struck out which re
lates to that particular piece of land, ana
Iho city will rest on its original claim tu
tho property. Tho Union Pacific will bo nl
lowed to maintain the tracks It now has
on tho property, however.

I)t-pnr(nicnt.
Ofllccr Thomas Norrla was dismissed by
tho Hoard of Flro and Police Commissioners
yesterday nfternoon. The hearing of tho
charges against Norrls lasted for about
two hours a ml five or six witnesses wero
heard. (3. W.' Wells, tho man who alleged
thut Norrls released him from arrest for a
consideration, did not appear to testify
against tho officer. Ho was subpoenaed to
appear, but failed to do so.
Several witnesses swore that Wells was
drunk the night ho was taken In chargo
by Officer Norrls and ono witness was In
troduced who said that Wells was In the
habit of taking corlaln drugs which had
a bad effect on hlm nnd mado him Irre
sponsible at times.
Officer Norrls stated that ho took Wells
In custody and afterword released him, ns
ho seemed to be able to get home all right.
A few days later Wells Is said to havo
approached the officer and expressed his
gratitude, asking that tbo officer meet him
later and recolvo n present. Tho officer
donled that ho received any' gift whntever
from Wells and says that no offer was
mndo to him until after the man had been
released and had recovered from his In
toxication. Mayor Moorcs stated that the willingness
of an officer to tako n gift from a man who
had been rclcnsed was not becoming nnd
it was thought best for tho moralo of the
department to discharge Officer Norrls.

Officials at railroad headquarters In
Omaha were considerably stirred up yester
day by tho report that tho new time agree
ment between Chicago-Omaha lines was
to bo' violated and demolished by tho
different parties to It on January 1.
The agreement reached two weeks ago
compelled a fast tlmo limit of thirteen
hours and n half between Chicago and
Omaha. This necessitated a change In
running time of two Northwestern trains,
two Hock Island and ono Illinois Central,
while It compelled tho latter road oho
to abandon planB for a new train of still
better speed, which was to bo Inaugurated
at the beginning of 1902.
The Northwestern line has not obeyed
tho mandate of December 11 and predic
tions wero freely offered from tho first that
it norer would. This chango of running
time was to go Into effect absolutely on
December 31, but no move has yot been
mado by the Northwestern to comply.
Meanwhile It in said that tho other lines
Interested have nlso had a chango of heart
and that instead of reducing their runs to
thirteen hours and a half some of them, par
ticularly thu Hock Island, will cut the tlmo
still lower than It was before.
Hock Island tlmo on Its No. 25 Is now
twelve hours and forty minutes. If tho or
der Is obeyed on December 31 fifty minutes
must bo added to tbo schedule. It Is said
that Instead of this tho Hock Island will
tako off forty minutes more, making a
twelve-hour run. Its rebellion Is said to be
duo to an unwillingness to abandon plans
fnr now fast trains that were already well
under way when the order appeared.
This is thought to menn another time-
cutting contest in the noar future, Involv
ing an absolute Ignoring of tho mandato of
December 11, Thus for the Durllngton ami
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul roads havo
rested qulotly on their oars, as all 'their
trains wero within tho new limit provided,
but theso roads will doubtless Join In any
movement to cut deep notches In Chlcngo-
Omaha time. It Is believed by railroad men
that such n movo will be greatly to the no
tion of the Milwaukee, which, by tho recent
acquisition of some new monster engines,
claims It can mako time with any of them.
That this speed competition, If Inaugu
rated as promised, will mnke changes In the
now extensive tlmo schedule of the North
western and Union Pacific railroads Is an
other complication. This schedule wns to
havo been Issued within tho next week, but
anything like a flfty-mlnuto cut under
present Northwestern tlmo to nnd from
Chicago will necessitate somo elaborate
changes In the card. Had the agreement
been malntntncd tho schedule would havo
contained no radical alterations.

ern part of tho state about ten days ago,
suffering from dlabotes, and taken to the
Presbyterian hospital, where ho was In
nn unconscious condition for somo days be
fore his demise.
The deceased leaves a wife, a daughter
and a ron. It Is not probable that funeral
services will be held In this city, as tbo
body will be taken to Dixon, III., for burial.
Judgo Powtll was born In Conesus, Liv

nKCrn Wnnt More Frost.
One of the Important features of the coun
cil mooting last night wus tho passage of
a general franchise telcnhono ordinance
which will regulnto all companies desiring
to enter South Omaha for somo tlmo to
come. This ordinance Is on tho order of
the gas ordinance and provides an annuity
to bo paid to tho city for a term of ten
years. This ordlnanco has been discussed
in tho papers beforo and was published,
according to law, for two weeks. Tho Judi
ciary committee, favoring O tho royalty
scheme, recommended Its passago aid by
title tho ordinance went to Its second and
third rending nnd was passed, all members
bolng present nnd voting for tho ordinance,
with tho exception of Miller. Later In the
session a proposition was read by tho clerk
from tho Plattsmouth Telejihono company
offering certain concessions, but ns the or
dinance had been passed tho proposition
was ordored placed on flic by the mayor.
This action Is expected to end the so-
called telephone war In South Omnha for
bomo tlmo to come.
Next In Importance camo the question of
tho Mlnnlo Oliver claim. Somo weeks ago
Mrs. Oliver ngreed to settle her Judgment
nSalnst tho city, which amounted to $2,250,
for $1,500. This offer was made to the
council, but through the papers being mis
laid tho document was never formally pre
sented, Inst night It was brought up and
the council voted to settle with Mrs. Oliver
for the nmount mentioned. This Is n per
sonal injury claim wherein two trials were
had In tho district court and In each case
a Judgment was rendered against tbo city.
Members of tho council think it will be
better to settle now than to allow thu
Judgment to hang flro nnd draw Interest,
so Mrs. Oliver will be tendered a warrant
In payment of hor claim at once.
To .Stop I'll)- fnr OMelnln' Viientlnnn.
Mr. Martin has evidently noticed that
certain city officials spend a great deal of
tlmo away from homo and In order to follow
out his Ideas of reform he secured the pass-
ago of a resolution which stops tho pay of
olllclals when on hunting trips, etc. Thoro
Is a proviso, however, thnt leave of ab-
senco may ba granted oy tne council.
Sickness Is of course excused.
An effort was made recently by Miller to
i,.. ,, m.. r ..,, inonninr n hni latin,! .
w...
but n committee, of tho council Investigated
tho matter and recommended that there ba
no chango In tho present organization of tho
city meat Inspection department. Tho re
port was adopted.
Mr. Johnston advocated the location of a
fire. plug at Forty-first and Q streets, but
Inasmuch as fourteen hydrants ordered six
months ago havo not been located, tho coun
cil roforred tho motion to tho flro and
water committee.
Tho bond of Dr. Sapp, city physician, was
approved.
As was predicted In Tho Ileo of a day or
two ago, nn ordlnanco was Introduced cre
ating a library board and containing cor
taln rules and regulations. This ordinance
wns Bent to tho Judiciary committee.
Clrrk Shrlgloy wns Instructed to draw
warrants on tho Interest fund for some
thing like $1,700 to meet maturities coming
duo January 1. Three appraisers will bo
appointed by tho mayor for grading dis
trict No. 2. These appointments will most
likely bo made toda-y.
In order to pay salaries and allow Eome
bills tho council will meet again Monday
night.

The melting snow again discloses to view
tho filthy condition of the utrosts and al
leys In tho business part of the city. Now
that Sanitary Inspector Jones has been
given an assistant It Is expected be will
servo a large number of notlce-4 to clean

It Is understood an effort will be mado
by the city officials to provide money for
tho stroet repair fund In order that there
may bo a general cleaning up. In th'j
meantime property ownors will bo urged
to n6jst In this matter by having garbage
cartod away as soon as possible

Heart.
It is a singular thinj; that in tile
popular view of eliscase the intereic-
Ccneiencc of the heveral organs of the
ody is lost sight of. The heart, for
example, is eliseascd and it is treated aa
if it were entirely separated from, ami
independent of, every other organ.
The fallacy of this opinion is shown
by the cures of heart "trouble," liver
"trouble," kidney "trouble" und other
so-called " troubles," effected by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. Primarily the "Discovery" is a
medicine for the cure of diseases of the
stomach and blood. Hut it cures dis
eases of organs seemingly remote from
the stomach, because these diseases have
their origin in n diseased condition of
the stomach nnd its associated eirgans
of digestion and nutrition.
