Died a Xatnrat Death
While la Room.
y Bishop, known as "Deaf Mar," n
found dead yesterday afternoon In room
47 of th Cambridge hotel by the landlord.
A. Gordon. who dtacovered the body ct the
woman lying directly In front of the door.
The deceased wn about I years of age.
The. Bishop woman registered at the hotel
Tuesday night between 11 and 12 o'clock
with a man named J. C. Barrett, who eald
ha was his wife. The fact that the room
was locked and the key found on the Inside
lead the officers to believe that the death
was the result of foul play. The transom
of the room was forced upward and it la
thought that the woman's companion took
his flight by that route. The dust on the
111 of the window over the door was dis
turbed, showing that something had passed
through the opening. Captain Haze and De
tectives Drummy and Mitchell think there
ia every Indication of foul play.
The woman has a mother and a brother
residing In Omaha. Her husband Is said to
realde here also. Coroner Bralley was
notified and the remains were taken to
hia undertaking rooms.
lis Mark of Violence.
A hurried examination of the body of the
woman, made Just before It was
removed to the coroner's rooms In the
afternoon, revealed no marks of violence.
No poison was found in the room and
there' waa nothing whatever to Indicate that
the woman had committed suicide.
Probably Natural Death.
An autopsy was performed last night on
the body of May Bishop, who was found
dead In the Cambridge hotel at 1:30 o'clock
la the afternoon, under circumstances
which lead to a supposition of foul play.
inn examination was maae ny ur. j. t,
was
Moore, assisted by Assistant City Physl
clan H. L. Arnold and Police Surgeon Hahn.
It la thought, as a result of the post
mortem, that the woman came to her death
through natural causes. However, the
tomach haa not been examined for tracts
of poison and no decision can be reached
until this la done. Dr. Moore will cause
an examination of the stomach to be made
before the time for holding tie inquest at
i o'clock this afternoon.
The woman was found to be suffering
from local peritonitis in an advanced form,
which would cause blood poisoning. She
waa also an epileptic. It is supposed that
he waa taken by a fit, which in her weak
ened condition cauaed her death.
The police have been unable to locate J.
C. Barrett, who was with the woman.
They think that, finding her dead, he
wished to get away ao aa to eacape pub
lielty, and in his haste, not being able to
find the key, climbed through the transom.
Beveral years ago a similar case occurred
In the Dewey hotel and another In a Capitol
avenue resort In 1601.
A Word ( Appreciation.
OMAHA, Jan. 2L To the Kdltor of The
Bee: It affords me great pleasure to pub
licly commend our chief of police for the
excellent manner In which he ' recently
handled an Important matter for our com
pany, wherein we were endeavoring to re
cover valuable property stolen from us bv
one of the most accomplished shoplifters in
the country.
When we notified the chief of our lose he
at once gave It as his opinion that the rob
bery was committed by a Mrs. Prince, and
ha then atated, "We will get her before
long." For six months he has left no stone
unturned and haa kept In thornugn touch
with the police departments all over the
country. His diligent elTortM were re
warded a few days ago and the woman was
rresXed. While we had a very weak case,
and would nave found It difficult to prove
that ahe took our goods, he handled the
matter so skilfully that he succeeded In
getting full payment for the property
stolen, and sufficient to cover all expense
We are ao Drone to criticise and find fault
with public servant that 1 feel we should
be glad to commend when we rind any one
of them specially deserving of credit. Per
sonally i nave always held the chief in
high esteem, and my close connection with
hlin In this matter haa not only Increased
my esteem, but his convinced me that he
fiosseaaea all the uualllU-atlnns necessary
n a police officer, and that he can alwav's
be depended on to be watchful and diligent
on behalf of our cltlsena. I am glad to
testify In this public way as to the satis
factory manner In which he settled an Im
portant and difficult case.

NOT DUB TO CLlflATE.
Catarrh Is Fossil Bverywhere.
Catarrh la at home anywhere and every
where. While mors common In cold,
changeable climates. It is by no means
confined to them, but la prevalent In every
state and territory In the union.
Tne common aennliion of catarrh Is a
chronic cold In the head, which Is long
neglected eften destroys the aenae of
smeu ana Bearing, nut there are many
other forms ot ths diseaae even more ob
stlnats and dangerous.
Catarrh ot the throat and bronchial
tubes as well aa catarrh of the atomacb
and liver are slmoat aa common aa nasal
catarrh and generally more difficult ot
cure.
Catarrh la undoubtedly a blood dlaease
and can only be successfully eradicated by
an internal treatment. Sprays, wa'bea and
powders are useless as far as reaching the
eal seat of the disease la concerned.
Dr. Mclverney advlaea catarrh sufferers
to uie a new preparation, sold by druggets,
railed Stuart's Catarrh Tableta, because
actual analysis haa shown those tableta to
contain certain antiseptic qualities of the
highest value, and being an internal rem
edy, pleaaant to ths tas'e, convenient and
harmless, can be used aa freely as required,
well for children as for adults.
Aa attorney and public spesker, who
kad been a catarrh auffeier for years
says:
"Every fall I would catch a cold which
would settle In my head and throat and
bang on all winter long and every winter
It aeemed to get a little worae. I waa
continually clearing my threat and my
voles became effected to. such an extent
aa to Interfere with my public speaktug.
"I tried troches and cbsap rough cures
and aometimea got. relief, tut only tor a
short time, until this winter, when I
learned at the new catarrh curs, Stuart's
Catarrhr Tablets, through a newapaps
advertisement. Two fifty cent boxes which
I bought at my druggist s cleared my head
and throat In fins shape and to guard
against a return of my old trouble I keep
a box of ths tableta on hand and whenever
I catch a Hitle cold I taks a tablet or tws
ad ward oS any serious developments."
Bt nart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
bead ths liat as a household remedy, to
check and break up coughs and solds, be
cause unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures thess tsblets contain ao
plate, cocaine or any Injurious drug.
OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The recent refusal of a seventh grade
teacher to allow her pupils to contribute
money for tne purchase of a carbon copy
of "The Ouardians of the Temple" that the
class had expressed a unanimous desire to
place In Its room, occasioned no little In
dignation among the parents of these chil
dren and has brought about a fresh agita
tion of the subject of school room decora
tion that every so often comes up among
teachers and principals. A few yeara ago
a rule waa passed prohibiting the school
children bringing money to school tor any
purpose except necessities on the ground
that many were unable to afford it
and that the practice had many undesirable
results.
At the time this rule was paased many of
the schools and classes were paying
monthly for pictures for walls of rooms
that had been bought, while others. were
contributing to the rent of pianos for use
In their rooms. As a result a number of
pianos had to be dispensed with and many
of the teachers finished paying tor expen
sive pictures which today hang in the
schools.
For a time the rule was regarded, but
little by little things are beginning to b
added to the rooms again, though teachers
and pupils are aware of the exlatence of
the rule. This evasion is quite as much
due to outside encouragement as from any
that the teachera extend. In every way
the children are being encouraged to tn
tereat in art and it almost Invariably re
sults, after an art or picture exhibit, that
some of the classes want to buy a copy of
at least one picture that has Interested
them. In many Instances they have been
allowed to do this, each child contributing
whatever he could and no one knowing the
amount of his contribution. In this way
pictures or some other desirable end have
been attained, but while the benefits and
refining Influences of these school room
equipments cannot be denied, the question
Is raised whether or not in sacrificing a
principal. In securing them In disregard of
a rule, the pupils do not in the end lose
more than they gain
It was In protection of the principle that
a seventh grade teacher In one of the better
dUtrlcta of the city recently rcfuaed to al
low her class to buy a picture, and as a
consequence she not only brought upon her
self no little ridicule and criticism from
many teachers, but a storm of indignant
protest, and In several cases abusive criti
cism from the parents of her pupils, who
Insisted that If she failed to appreciate auch
pictures she bad no right to deny her class
their benefits. In turn aba explained her
position to the claas and to a dozen or more
of the parents who called to discuss the
matter with her, and suggested that they
take their protest to the Board of Educa
tion, where It belonged, lnatead of to her.
She waa not a little surprised to find the
parents unwilling to do this, the majority
of those wlfh whom she discussed it sug
gesting that her class be allowed to do as
other rooms had done get the picture and
ay nothing about It.
"Tell me," she said the other day, "with
parents sanctioning, it not actually encour
aging this sort of thing, and everybody rec
ognizing and urging the benefits of school
room decoration, what Is a teacher to doT
Is the responsibility wholly with her?"
The privilege remains with the children
to organize independent of teachera and buy
pictures It they like, but It la necessary
that some person of Judgment aaslst them
In making a selection and In other ways,
and' as" a- Yulo the teacher la beat qualified
to render the assistance of thla kind neces
sary, at Icaat shs knowa better what her
claas can afford than the average person
that would be asked to help outside ot the
school.
Dislocated Her Shoalder.
Mrs. Johsnna Soderholm of Fergus Falls,
Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She
had a surgeon get it back In place as soon
aa possible, but It was quite sere and pained
her very much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlaln'a Pain Balm adver
tised for sprains and soreness, and she
asked him to buy her a bottle of It, which
he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sloop, which she had not done for
several days. Tho son was so much pleased
with the relief It gave his mother that he
has since recommended It to many others.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Movement for Street Car Line Along Boath
ThirUenth Street.
COMPANY LOOKS FAVORABLY ON PLAN
Will Bolld aa Far aa Missouri Avenue
la Bprlno; and May Later Ex
tend the Line to Fort
Crook.
While no meetings of special Importance
have been held by the Eaat Side Improve
ment club for a few weeks, a number ot
committees havs been working and are
pushing the extension of the Thirteenth
street car line. It la understood that ths
committee ot the club which recently
waited upon General Manager Smith re
ceived encouragement enough to permit the
members to state that the line will bi
constructed In th spring. At present the
extension Is designed only to Missouri ave
nue, but there Is a project on foot to In
duce the company to run ths kins a little
farther south. At the same time there l
a plan to have the line built clear through
to Fort Crook. This latter line will hardly
be built this year, as the eaat sldcri say
that they will be satisfied If the Thirteenth
street line Is extended to Missouri are.
nus. Some of the business men of Omaha
are taking hold of ths scheme and realize
that If a loop of some kind is made both
Omaha and South Omaha merchants will
be benefited.
Those Interested assert that whet South
Omaha needs la better street ear facilities.
While there Is no complaint to speak of o:i
the accommcdations now given, there Is a
growing need for another line which will
relieve the congestion at the busy hours of
the day. This, the East Side club hopes,
will be overcomes when the promised exten
sion on Thirteenth atreet 1 made. Officers
ot the street railway company are quoted
as saying that material for the extension
has been ordered and that work on the
new ltns will commence In April.
Packers' Coal Sapnly.
The packers' coal supply remains about
the same. There Is now on hand two days'
supply for each of the packing houses.
The number of cars delivered here haj
been cut down considerably, but purchas
ing agents say that when they make a yell
for coal It comes. No trouble Is expected
unless the weather should turn cold, and
the tracks be blocked by anow. At the
cchoot houses there Is plenty of eoal to
lost for some time, so there Is no danger
of the schools being closed for want of
coal. The coal for domestic consumption
Is arriving slowly. There Is no anthracite
to speak of In eight, but Missouri and Illi
nois coal Is coming in almost daily, so
that there will hardly be a famine In that
line.
George Has Fits.
Carl Gtorge, a farmer living In the west
ern part of the state, caused a little sen
sation In police court yesterday by taint
ing. The trouble was that he could not
stand for a Joke. George had been In the
city tor several days and had put In his
time and spent his money In saloons. The
result was that he waa locked up. When
brought before the police Judge yesterday
the Judge, being tipped by Chief Brlggs
talked In an offhand sort of a way about a
thirty days' sentence on the rock pile. This
was too much for George and he ramtca.
When he came to the Judge told him to
hike back to his farm and not show up
here until the spring plowing is over.
Building; Permits Blow.
Property owners who are building during
the winter months are unusually slow, in

and Prospect Hill on Eqaal
Taxation.
At a largely attended aad enthusiastic
meeting of the Southwest Improvement
club last night definite final steps were
taken toward carrying out ths conditions
Imposed by the Omaha Street Railway com
pany on completion of which it will build
a double track Una down Twenty-fourth
street from Leavenworth to Vinton streets,
Ths street railway company has stated
that as soon as ths city reduces the grade

per cent by s slight fill and secures ths
widening of ths street near Pacific, where
tne abutting property Juts Into It for a
short dlstsncs. It will build ths trackage-
la pursuancs of this promise ths Im
provement club last night named a com
mittee of three consisting of Fred Scham
mel, Auatla Williams snd Fred Zotsmann
to circulate petition to secure ths neces
saxy signature of a majority of ths abutting
property owners asking that the grading be
done. Councllmen Hascall and Ztniman
were present, and promised to do their be ft
to get the matter through the aldrrmantc
body without delay, and It is not thought
that the expense attached will be large, as
the fill at Its deepect place need be only
five feet.
Meanwhile City Attorney Connell guaran
teed that he will arrange to have the street
made full width where the Jut now is. The
club adjourned till next Wednesday night,
when reports will he made as to progress
on this matter. Street railway officials
have promised to have the line running by
June 1.
At the election of officers all the Incum
bent officials were re-elected as follows:
W. H. Green, president; Henry Rohlff. vice
president: M. J. Fcenan, secretary; Fred
Zotsmann, treasurer.
As the mayor has now given his consent
to having the three new arc lights on
Twenty-fourth street that matter was re
opened, and the councllmen present esid
they would hasten the business through,
when It will receive the mayor's sanction,
Instead of his veto, as on the last trial.
A resolution was adopted Indorsing bills
now pending at Lincoln providing for
changing the charter provision which com
pels the tax commissioner to take his rail
road assessments from those returned to
the county clerk for county taxation.
At a meeting of the Trospect Hill Im
provement club Wednesday evening, the
equal taxation propoaltion was given con
siderable attention, and was discussed at
length by the members ot the club. A reso
lution offered by Mr. G. S. Benawa was
adopted. In which the club unanimously in
dorsed the action of the Real Estate ex
change In seeking to secure the repeal ot
the .clause of the city charter relative to
the valuation and assessment ot city prop
erty whereby the railroad property is ex
empted from the valuation placed on other
classes of property. The resolution also
Instructs the Douglas county delegation in
the legislature to work for equal taxation
and solicit the aid ot the other legislators.
E. J. Cornish of the park commission
gave a short talk before the club on "Parks
and Boulevards." During the course of his
remarks he took several fails out of the
city government for persistently delving
Into the nark appropriations tor use In the
other municipal departments. He said that
he Is In favor of making the head of every
municipal office elective, not appointive. He
also said Omaha has been extravagant in
the matter of width of Ita pavements and
boulevards, and favored taking more land
from the street to the property lino for
beautlficatlon. "During tho last year," he
aid, "the ptrk board has expended an
average of $11 an acre for Its park Im
provement and maintenance, as against
$175 In other cities ot Its size in the United
States."
EVERYBODY DELIGHTED.
Kewbro's Ilerplclde Destroys the
Dandruff Germ Permanently
and Cnrea Baldness.
Quinine and rum and a whole lot of
other things, are pleasant to rub on the
scalp after washing it free of dandruff,
but not one preparation of the general
run cures dandruff and falling hair. It is
necessary to kill that germ, to be perma
nently cured of ' dandruff, and to stop
falling hair. Newbro's Herpictde will posi
tively destroy that germ, so that there can
be no more dandruff, and so that the hair
will grow luxuriantly. "Destroy the cause,
and you romove the effect."

MARACAIBO, Venezuels. Jan. 21. Three
German warships, supposed to be Panther,
Vlnta and Falke. began shelling the port
of San Carlos at 10:S0 this morning. The
fort returned the fire. The engagement
was still In progress at 1 this afternoon.
A correspondent approached to within
three miles of the fort In a row boat at noon.
The roar of the guns was terrific Psnther
appeared to be not more than 500 yards
from the fort. Its guns were being fired
every minute. The fort could not be seen
for the clouds of smoke, but It was plain
that the Venezuelan gunners were answer
ing the German fire splendidly and with
great rapidity.
At 1 o'clock In the afternoon an explo
sion occurred apparently in the fort and a
cloud of smoke covered a part of the ram
parts. A number of Indian fishermen were
intercepted fleeing from the direction of
the fort In dugout canoes. They reported
that the smoke was from the burning vil
lage of San Carlos, which had been shelled
by the German ships and was In flames.
Rebels are Defeated.
CARACAS, "Jan. 21. The revolutionary
force under General Rlera, which attacked
Coro on Monday, was obliged to retreat,
leaving thirty men killed and 115 wounded.
Many prisoners and a considerable amount
of arms rnd baggage were captured by the
government troops.
At 1 on Monday morning the revolu
tionists under Rlera unexpectedly assumed
the offensive. The government supposed
General Rlera was at Sabaneta, but ln
atead he appeared outside Coro with 1.000
men, his entire command, and attacked the
town from two different directions at the
same time. One rebel columa pushed
nearly to the center of the town. At first
tho government soldiers were thrown Into
confusion, but as soon as they recovered
from their surprise they stood against the
rebel forces.
The government troops were commanded
by Generals- Hermoslllo and Tellerla.
After an engagement which lasted ten
hours, fighting going on In the streets and
from the houses of Coro, the revolutionists
were obliged to retire.
General Rlera, who showed great per
eonal bravery. Is reported wounded In the
leg. He Is now fleeing In the direction ot
Paraguayana and will probably embark for
Curacoa. The government lost ten men
killed. The houses In Coro are riddled
with bullets.
The victory of the government at Coro
Is held here as proof that the revolution
la far less successful than reported from
Willemstad, where the revolutionary head
quarters are.
General Velutinl, who baa arrived at
Macuts. near La Guayra, from Barcelona,
after having eluded the vessels of tho
blockading powers, reports that the gov
ernment has 3,000 men with which to op.
pose the revolutionists in the Barcelona
district. It is known here that two schoon.
ers succeeded, on January 16, in landing
arms and ammunition for the uso of the
revolutionists near Coro.
The fact that these schooners were over
hauled by an Italian cruiser before they
had the munitions of war on board, and
that they succeeded In passing the block
ade when loaded with arms and ammuni
tion. Is quoted In Caracas as evidence uf
the truth of the oft-repeated statement
that the powers are aiding the revolution.
