Another significant point In thin connec
tion la that William Hathaway und Oeorgo
Lucas, charged with criminal assault upon
Zola Coulthnrd, 11 years' old, will not have
preliminary hearing In pollco court, as Is
customary in felony casus, nor will they be
arraigned ncforo olther Judgo Uerka or
Judgo Gordon. Instead Chief Donahuo has
sent tho two detectives who worked up the
cast) to. testify bs tu tho facts before tho
grand Jury.
"By thli means of disposing of felony
cases," said a pollco court attorney yes
terday, "they aro, In a. measure, taken
out of the hands of tho county attorney.
At least, It gWea the county attorney's olflcu
uo opportunity to refuse to prosecute be
foro Police Judgo Dcrka, and tho effect of
It Is to ignore the pollco court and any other
preliminary court, cutting out both Judge
Oordon nod Judgo Borka. This will doubt
less bo coiitlnucd until the grand Jury ad
journs, and If It Is tho Qordou-EUor faction
will havo to wait until then, or elso modify
their trctlcs, In order to test their claim
to tho pollco court bench."
Since Judge Derka assumed tho beuch u
week ago no felony cases have been tiled In
Ills court. Three such rases hold over from
the Gorton regime. Of theso two have been
(Ilsralssed und the other has been set for

Attorney Eller, representing Judgo Gor

"We cannot got action on this matter be

CONSTRUCTION WORK T. BEGIN AT ONCE
General Manager Rldwell Rctnrna
froom Scene of Proposed Improve
ment nnd Announces that Con
tract Una neen Awarded.
General Manager Bldwell of the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad has Just
returned from the scene of that road's
Verdigris extension with the unexpected In
formation that tho new line Is permanently
located from Verdigris seventy mile to the
north and west, tho present terminus tap
ping the portion of the Rosebud reservation
that the government contemplates opening
to settlers very shortly. All the plans have
tho approval of President Hughltt of the
Northwestern system.
This ends the surveying portion of thi
Job nt present, ae It Is not Intended to
carry the line any further just now. Con
struction o' tho line Is tho next thing and
work will begin at once.
Unite Not on Line,
An Important feature of the matter Ui
that tho fight made by the town of Butte,
county seat of Boyd county, for tho road
has been given Its quietus. The place Is
situated on a high spot of ground, 200 feet
above Ponca creek bottom, which tho road
follows, nnd It was Impracticable to go
through the town. The line runs about n
mile and three-quarters to the north and
a quarter of a rallo to the cast.
To Lynch pormancnt location had already
been made through Niobrara and then west
across tho Niobrara river. Tho now por
tion established runs from Lynch to Spon
ccr, then to this point near Butte, whoro
It turns directly north and runs to Fairfax,
Gregory county, S. D. This will be tho ter
minus of tho construction at present, but
tho line has been surveyed from Fairfax
seven miles and a half west to the reserva
tion line, so that everything Is In readi
ness for Immedlato building thero as well.
Contract U Awarded.
"We shall get to work on construction
within a tew weeks," said Mr. Bldwell.
"Winston Brothers of Minneapolis havo tho
contract. I completed tho arrangements
Saturday night last. By September 15 next
wo will have trains running on tho new
line.
"Except for a mile of the road Just west
of Niobrara tho entire thing will be of
easy construction and low cost. That one
mile Is through heavy rock, and there wo
will begin work first of all. Sixty-pound
steel rails will bo laid. The entlro right
of way Is secured. Most of It was donatod
by the farmers through whoso lands we
pass."
Prosperity In the Illnck llllla.
Goneral Passenger Agent J. R. Buchanan
of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
railroad has Just returned 'from the sceno
of tho new lino which his road Is building
from Dcudwood to Lead City In South Da
kota, thus completing tho service of that
system from Omaha to both northern cities.
"Tho Black "Hills country Is In a wonder
fully prosperous condition," said Mr. Bu
chanan. "There aro more mines working
and they aro being handled better than ever
before. Absolute legitimacy In their de
velopment has never been practiced to such
an extent as now,
"Meanwhile on our new line the work Is
progressing as well as could bo expected.
There is a great deal of heavy rock work
to be done, as we are going right through
tho mountain. When the road Is built,
however, It will bo the prettiest scenlo lino
for its three and a halt miles of extent to
bo found In the country.
"I find people at Lad City very enthusi
astic over the advent of this new route and
they aro anxiously awaiting Its completion.
Tho depot will be directly opposite tho
First National bank.
"All during my stay tho weather was re
markable. The days wero all bright and
sunny, with the temperature such that most
people are going without overcoats or oven
light wraps. There Is scarcely any snow on
the hills.
"Passeuger travel In the Black HUM
country Is fairly good, though there Is a
slight falling off from what It has been. I
did not visit Hot Springs, but am Informed i
that all worry about accommodation tbero
for the coming season that tourists have
felt may be abandoned. The closing of the
Evans hotel need cause no fear ot the lack
of high-grade quarters, for the new Palace
hotel haa been completed with more rapid
ity than expected and will open on Jan
uary 15."
Expect No Rate Cnttlusr.
Union Pacific traffic officials discredit the
story that the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Interests Intend to smash freight
rates to the Pacific coast from points In
this portion of tho country. Said an official
at Union Pacific, headquarters yesterday
morning:
"I do not bellevo any such action Is
planned. They would probably give us no
tice if they Intended It. Of course we
should be compelled to meet the cut If
thoy made it, but wo have taken absolutely
no steps for protection In an emergency,
and that la a good Indication that we do
not believe thero will be any slashing."

purposes; to have one or two persons se
lected, who are to receive compensation
for their work, to supervise and Instruct
those to whom land Is allotted, Tho plan
has been successfully carried on In many
ot the cities ot the east nnd several cities
ot tho west, and It Is not new to Omaha.
During the years of 1895-97, under tho
management of the Associated Charities and
the agricultural commission, tho Plngreo
gardens were a success hero. During 1897
allotments wore mado to 300 families, one
acre to each, and tho total value of the
crop was estimated at $6,000.
Each person wilt bo required to furnish
his own garden tools. Should a person
not be financially ablo to get tools money
with which to buy them will bo furnished
from a fund to be raised by the club, to
. be refunded when the crop Is i Bold. One
tf the difficulties to be overcome Is the
question of water, that having seriously
retarded the work during the years the
plan was In operation. This will be over
come by getting lots where Irrigation will
not he necessary.
The women have no tear of not being able
to secure the land for their purpose. In
-97 the lots offerod exceeded the appllca
ttons. This has been the case wherever
the plan has been tried. Owing to tho fact
that the women have not sufficient money
on hand to start tho work, a committee
composed of Mesdames C, W, Damon, J.
H. Dumont and R. A. Willis was anDolnted
to bring the matter before tho eltv rmtnril
and the uorabers of the Commercial club,
and request their Assistance. The com
mittee was further Instructed to call when

While the East Side Improvement club has
been In cxlstcnco for a long time, it Is only
recently that tho members have gotten
down to actual work and given tho public
In general notice of what they havo done
and what they propose to do.
At a meeting of the club some days ago
a committee was appointed to confer with
the South Omaha Land company In regard
to tho oponlng of a boulevard through Syn
dicate park, making a perfect driveway from
tho eastern portion .of tho town direct to
Omaha. Tho committee called upon tho land
company, but received llttlo encourage
ment for tho furthernnco of the project.
Not despairing, however, they colled again,
and were told that tho company would toko
the matter under advisement for a short
time.
Yesterday the company notlflod tho club
committee, consisting of J. J. Breen and
D. M. Click, I bat It was willing to do all
that the club had asked of It, and that as
soon as It wan practicable for It to com
mence work the boulevard would be estab
lished, together with tho opening up of
Twentieth street from O street north.
The work will commence at G street,
following up Twentieth street north to tho
Park. From here It will follow up the Imag
inary boulevard that is now established
within the park, going around tho lake
and emerging nt the north side. It propeses
to open and grndo theso streets, olnclng
them In first class shape, making n perfect
driveway to Omaha.
In addition to what the club haa re
quested tho company says that It will open
F street to Twentieth streot, making the
driveway from Twenty-third and F streets.
In view of tho fact that this territory has
heretofore been of little uso to tho resi
dents of that portion ot tho town tho
members of tho club wero highly elated
over tho Success of their venture.
In speaking of the matter D. M. Click,
one of the committeemen who called upon
the land company, Bald last night: "I feel
that the land company will do Just what It
sayo It will and that tho boulovard will bo
established by spring. Wo received so llt
tlo encouragement when tho matter was
first broached that tho entlro club Is now
highly elated, over the mattor."

Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what n laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which docs not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important thnt the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value nnd Syrup
of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it docs not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety in nil cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invldid,
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front
of every package.
