HELPERS FORM NEW LODGE
Assistant Boilermakers Organise and Joit
the Regular Brotherhoad.
TWENTY-FIVE MEMBERS ON CHARTER
PariMxe Ket to fadaee All Help
are, 81 a ef Whom Are at Work
la the Shops, to
Strike.
The bollermakers' helpers organised last
Bight under tba name of Florence lodge
No. 28, Helpers' DivUlon of the Brother
hood of Boilermaker, and Iran Shipbuild
er. About twenty-five helpers composed
tha new lodge. All but alx of this number
are striken, tba remainder, being still at
work In tha Omaha shops of tha Union
Pacific. The organization- was perfected
at the rooms over tba Jackaonian elub and
,we directed by National President Mc
Neil and DUtrlct and Local President Ken
nedy. "This organltatloa Is not for the pur
pose of getting all the helpers out on a
trlke with us." said President Kennedy,
"but a simply to knit together more thor
oughly all the members of our craft and
ta In Una with our general policy."
1 President McNeil aald that the first
helpers' lodge waa organised last January
and this la the twenty-eighth. Adequate
provisions are already made for the finan
cial support of the helpers as well as
Journeymen.
President McNeil concludes his business
In Omaha on this trip today and will leave
for the western end of the Union Paclfle
this evening, visiting all the shop centers
along tba route. He Is well pleased wttb
the state of affairs as he leaves them here
and says the local strikers are conducting
their fight properly. The bollermakers all
Insist that there Is no special desire to
'have the remainder of their helpers strike
o long as they are not aaked to do work
the performance of which does not conflict
with their obligations' to the union. Thus
'far they have not been requested to do
auch work.
Bad Motive Power Reported.
Ity was reported last night upon what
was considered reliable authority that or
ders have coma from Cheyenne not to
end any more freight cars there, unless
they are to go through the city, as all
the available sidetrack space la occupied
with loaded cars, and that if more are
'sent they will have to stand on. the main
Una. The cars In the "hole" there are
said to contain Imperishable goods, all the
perishable freight being rushed through.
It is reported from the same source that
all trains are taken up the Cheyenne hill
by double-headers, so that If one engine
gives way the other can relieve It. The
reports of Impaired motive power come, not
from strikers, but other sources.
The union men's parade was a prominent
. feature of the Union Faclflo strike af
fair yesterday. The procession formed
t Labor Temple at Fifteenth and Dodge
street, at 9 o'clock, proceeded north aa tar
ae Casa, west to Sixteenth, south on Stx-
tecnth to Farnam, thence east to the Union
Pacific headquarters on Ninth and after a
circle north again ended at the temple.
The officials and clerks at headquartera
'were Interested spectators. General Man
ager Dickinson and Superintendent Mc-
Keen both viewing the line of march from
, windows of the building, tut President Burt
was at the shops at thn time and could
;aot witness the demonstration.
Foar Hundred and Ninety.
.. i .tmt count strikers say
there were 40 men In, line, exclusive of
the platoon of police, apportioned as fellows:
Band from Musicians' union, composed of
120; thirty union stage hande, 220 machin
ists and helpers from Omaha and Council
Bluff,; forty-one bollermakers and helpers
and eighty blacksmiths and helpers. Some
f the mechanics were from contract ahops
;jn the city. Officials say they could not
count that many.
Some of the banners carried in the parade
aroused considerable adverse comment from
pectatore. One bearing the drawing of a
hog with the inscription, "This Is the man
Who want ua to work by the piece," waa
generally criticised. Other banners bore
lnscrlntlons asking real . estate men and
lawyers If they worked by the piece. These J
created amusement, as it was generally re
marked that real estate men and lawyera
eould work no other way than by the piece.
'..Other significant banners read: "Does
Mr. Burt work by the piece T" "This strike
la th fight of organised labor of the Trans
Ulaslssippl agalnat piecework," and "Mr.
Burt says conscientious preachers work by
the piece."
Tha next festivity In the shape of a
. atrike benefit Is the game of ball this after-
' noon at Vinton Street park, between two
nines of striker.

GETS BACK TO ITS OLD HOME
Baffalo Blll'e Bl Shew Cornea Aaala
to tke F eaea of Its
Geaeela.
At Omaha twenty years ago was or
ganised a show which took to th homes
of the east th first picture-groups of west
ern characters, horses, prairie wagona.
stage coaches, buffalo, elk and wild mus
tangs, led by Colonel Cody, "Buffalo Bill,"
aided and abetted by Nate Salisbury, then
a noted comedian. The Interest and excite
ment then created was most Intense, as
heretofore the denizens of the east were
dependent upon the Catllns. Bsyard Taylors,
army reports, aud traveled journalists for
descriptions of the frontier, and .to the
romancer, the Mayne Relds, Fenlmore
Coopers and Ned Buntllnes for the romantle
and picturesque depiction of the possible
scenes, Incidents and atmosphere of pioneer
life.
It was a revelation to see an Indian on
horseback, properly equipped; a cowboy
tben a mythical peraonage, often confounded
with the bandit or the rustler; the sturdy
little mustang; the hardy Spanish-Arab,
known as the broncho, with his wild an
tics, his vicious tricks, requiring an ability
In the rider so great that the description
of the two In contest la Mark Twain'
"Roughing It" waa so wonderful, so In
conceivable, and so grotesque, that the
great humorist was credited with sn elaatio
imagination that drew this funniest of Im
possibilities. So much was this the case
that he found It necessary to publicly an
nounce In tbe management's behalf that his
description was a fact, that the horses were
the genuine article, and their disposition
and recalcitrant traits wsre painfully true,
as he hsd "personally ridden on one of the
equine dwvlla once for nearly half a minute,
and then had realised the stability of terra
flrma."
It Is Just as true of life todsy as It wss
then, but more exceptional, as the march
of agricultural settlement and general prog
ress have Invaded what waa once the great
vacuum of the plains, that necessitated the
atrenuous life depicted, until the Wild
West's representatives are among the last
of their kind. For so, the familiarity to
many, which age brings should not In" the
unthinking "breed contempt," but In In
verse ratio should enhance the respect of
the mature, and create renewed Interest In
th young and the foreign population In the
plctureaque presentation of an American
epoch of the past. These reminiscent re
marks are Justified by the fact that after a
tour of the continent and a visit to the cen
ters of civilization built on the Wild West's
old-time range and hunting grounds, this
original organization undertakes tba dis
tant Journey to Europe to, on Its return,
commence the beginning of the end. On Us
vlstt "home" to the locale of Its Inception,
where the requirements necessitated Its
existence In reality, Buffalo Bill' Wild West
and Ita lingering relics of ptonser history
will find changed condition,, created by the
great wave of commercial prosperity thst
has obliterated old land marks to make way
tor tbe march of local improvement.
Now, as of old, the observant visitor will
be Impressed by the genuineness, the vir
ility, the grace, tha beauty, the ginger of
the action, the wild dash of the commingled
international horseman, form a aerie of
stirring scenes that are a fit preliminary
to the stately and perfect horsemanship of
Colonel Cody, aa he sweeps forward to In
troduce his mighty calvacade of the "Rough
Riders of the World." When one sees the
opening evolution of the Wild West our
rloulum, he witnesses an animated picture
that preceded by years, and even now ex
cels In beauty the effectiveness of the klnet
oscope, and can then go home satisfied, as
raving seen something worthy of remem
brance for a life time.
A strong addition Is tbe pressnce of th
United Bute life saving crew from the
Atlantlo coast guard, beaded by Captain
urant, witn tbe complete government at
paratua. giving an Illustration of the res
cue of shipwrecked persons 'by aid of the
"breeches buoy." This Is a very educative
and Instructive feature; a realistic repre
sentation of tbe battle resulting In the cap
ture of San Juan Hill will toe given, and
tbe fifty new wild bucking bronchoa will
keep tbe Interest keyed up. Two perform
ances will be given at 2 and t p. m. tomor

The Catherine Drlscoll claim bas been
settled, the last psyment by the city hav
ing been made at noon yesterday. This
claim has been In th council and la the
court ever since 1896 and ha cost the city
large sum of money In Intereat and costs.
Last year when the levy waa made the
tim of $1,718 waa appropriated on the claim
and on Monday night the council closed
the account by appropriating $l,8l, making
total of $3,604, which the city paid for a
Judgment amounting to $2,600.
In th splng of 1896 Catherine Drlscoll.
then quite an old woman, slipped on the
sidewalk and sustslned Injuries. A claim
for damage waa filed with the city, but
before the matter waa seriously considered
by the city officials Mr. Drlseoll moved to
Neola, la., where she shortly afterward
died. Before her death she wss visited by
ooutn Omaha attorney, who purchased
her claim against the city for $400. The
money we paid and the transfer of the
claim duly recorded at the court house tn
Omaha. Then the holders of the claim,
Tom Hoctor and A. L. Sutton, proceeded
to round up the city council and endeavored
to secure a settlement. Tbe council wa
Hllng, but Dr. En, or, who was then mayor,
waa not willing, and he placed his vsto oa
tbe resolution, directing the city clerk to
draw warrants qn the Judgment fund for the
amount.
This action on the part of Ensor caused
strained relation between the mayor and
eouncil for some time, but Ensor stood
his ground. Then there wa aaotber trial
and Judgment rendered against the city.
This was followed by mandamus proceed
ings, brought by Sutton and Hoctor. who
were tben acting for Mary Madden, to whom
the claim had been assigned. Finally the
case waa taken to the supreme court and
In the course of time a decision wa handed
down affirming the Judgment of the lower
court. This was In tbe fall of 1900 and in
the summer of 1901 the first payment was
made. Just five years after the original
claim had been filed. Testsrday'a payment

The author thus apologlzea for some ad
venture being omitted "because the don
key ate my notes he ate everything in
eight, and did not discriminate between
a comic poster and a traglo diary." Mao
A'Rnoy says: "There are four distinct
distances across the American contlpent,
viz.: Three thousand miles as the crow
files, 8,600 as the train steams, 4.000 by
overland trail for a man and 1,000,000 miles
as a donkey goes." Also that "there are
more people who descend to the level of a
Jackass than donkeys that rise to the plane
of man." He also declares the trip was
more healthful to Pod than him. Published

Something for Mothers to Think About
EVERY CHILD born into the world with an Inherited
or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring
humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object
of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suf
fering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigura
tion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and
prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of
such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the
best, the purest, and most effective treatment available,
viz., THE CUT1CURA TREATMENT.
Warm baths with ConcuRA Soap, to cleanse the sWn of crusts and scale
and soften the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with Cuticlra Oint
ment, to instantly alia itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and
heal, to be followed In the severer- cases by mild doses of Ccticlra Resol
vent Pills (see below), to cool and cleanse the blood, are all that can be
desired for the alleviation ot the suffering of skin-tortured infants and
children and the comfort of worn-out, worried mothers. A single set coste

charged 814,822.69 for tha bridge and O'Keeffe
think the price wa much too high, point
ing for argument to one on the Elkhorn con
taining twice a much Iron and better, but
costing only $4,600. He moved an Investiga
tion some time ago and Connolly seconded
the motion with a show of enthuslssm. saying
that he hoped such probing would finally
hush the incessant complaining and dark,
hinting, but the Investigators have never
been chot-en and yesterdsy O'Keeffe hoarded
the members of the committee Into the
private room off the commissioners' cham
ber and suggested that they get down to
buainsss.
They talked until noon without "getting
together" and tben adjourned to try It
again later. It Is understood that
the other members of the committee pro
posed Scott King, John W. Towle and
Hugh Carpenter for investigators, but that
O'Keeffe demurred, arguing that County
Engineer Edquist, City Engineer Rosewater
and Former County Engineer J. E. House
were the proper one. It 1 surmised that
tbs fact that Mr. Towle represents a
bridgs company, and that all bridge com
panies ar more or less closely allied in
Interests, may have had something to do
with O'Keeffe' attitude.
Coanty Engineer Igsored,
"For the last four or five years," O'Keefe
said, "the county engineer has been Ignored
too much la this matter of bridge and
ewer. Th commissioner have been tak
ing the matter entirely In their own hand
and making contracts without estimating
with any considerable care. They com
plained recently that some ot tbe sewers
were Inadequate during the rains. Well, no
wonder. Tba board members drive out In a
buggy to the place where a culvert should
be, sit In their seats and determine the re
quirements at long range. Instead ot having
careful figuring on the amount of drainage
that properly reaches tbe place ta time of
rain, and from this determining tbe else of
the sewer, they atop the horse at the (Id
of the road, glsnce over the country and
one of them saya 'two feet.' Another one
will say 'six feet,' and finally they'll
compromise on four feet. Perhaps tbe
dlmsosion should hav beea eight
feet. When the rain come the sewer
chokes, its extremities hav been neglected
and give wsy, and sewers sre condemned.
When I wss a member of the bosrd twelve
years ago I put In a nins-foot sewer oa
the Center street road for 814 per foot, '
nd It' there yet, tn perfect condition.
Build a sewer lsrge enci'gh to begin with,
use a good cement and give It mouth oc
casional attention and there will be no
trouble at all. But the board haa been
doing Its own planning. Ignoring county
engineers to such extent that one of them
quit, and the result Is sppsrent now In the
damaged ducts, twenty of which must hav
Immediate attention to save them."
Tbe matter comes up before the bosrd at
Wednesday's meeting. The commlsslonsro
will go over tbe county again tbe last of
this week.
