payer to see what Murdoch: will do.
rt rtner city attorneys have made the same
proposition and In the end It amounted to
r.lliinir. Whn Montgomery was city at
torney he was Instructed to go ahead and
ciiliiT oust squat lers or secure a nominal"
reutal fro. ,unt(rs who were In posses
sion of H'riM'ts and alleys at that time -jt
till hrplinir down ground, and unless steps
ore taken tliy will soon acquire title.
Time snd again the city engineer has
been railed upon to Rive locations of squat
lers. am ho has put in many an hour hunt
ing them up. His reports have Invariably
been referred to the street and alley com
rtii'tfe, and there the matter rested. Sev
eral vbIiirIiIt tracts of property supposed
fo be owned ry the rlty are now really in
pisHessUin of squatters who will go Into
court ai;d claim a ten years' undisputed
residence. In this way the city stands to
lose a largo amount of property unless
steps (ire taken at onco to compel leases
to be made or a rental price agreed upon.
The city officials are In hopes that the city
attorney will attend to this matter at his
tarllcst convenience.
Condemning Old Ilnllillntt.
While the city engineer Is the hullding
Inspector Hi the present time ho does not
heve on opportunity to get around on ac
count of other work. An assistant. It Is
asserted, will Boon be employed to get out
unci sea that, building ftermlta are brought
In promptly. n Inspection Is also to he
male of dilapidated buildings. Complaint
has been made of the dwelling at Seven
teenth and Missouri avenue. It Is asserted
that this house, which Is owned by Dr. J.
P. Kendall of Saratoga, N. Y., Is about to
fall down. The city officials will taka no
tice of this at once, as well as other build
ings In a similar condition.
Clothesline Thieves.
Clothesline thieves are getting In their
work In all parts of the city, but as a gen
erul thing the amount Is so small that re
torts are not made to police headquarters.
Vhe neighborhood east of Twenty-fourth
vtreet and north of L street has been af-
icted with petty thieves for some tlmo
siast, and as a patrolman Is seldom seen In
that portion of the city after dark some of
the citizens have derided to go thief bunt
ing tbemselvra. At the present time the
neighborhood Is tolerably well looked after
by residents, but the citizens would like to
have a policeman assigned to the district
In order that they might get a little sleep,
as the frequent turning loose of shotguns at
chicken or clothesline thieves disturbs their
rest.
Pnshlnar Improvements.
The electric light company has men at
work building manholes for the conduits
being laid arross M street. The cold
weather. delayed the work, but now that ce
ment can be laid the manholes are being
built as rapidly as possible. When the
manholes are complete the overhead
wires on M street will be taken down and
placed In the conduits and the transform
ers now on the office floor of the company's
building will be removed to the basement.
Ilaalloa; lee to Packers.
The railroads are hauling Ice to packers.
fhose who are In charge of the work say
the Ice crop this year Is harvested and
here Is plenty on hand to last for two
ears, if necessary. Yesterday one pack-
bg house had 125 cars hauled in and this
was stored away. Other packers are
kltlug Ice right along. There will be no
urth In the supply for Icing cars during
coming summer.
Ilannoa Getting; Anxious.
ince the action of the council on Mon
day night in relation to the grading ot
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, Con
tractor Dan Hannon Is showing evidence
that he wants to commence work as soon as
possible. Yesterday he went down and
looked over the ground and found that the
frost is two feet deep. , He says that be
cannot do any grading until the frost Is
out of the ground. "If the city can do
any better on Its contract," said Mr. Han
non to a Bee reporter last night, "It Is wel
come to do to." When the work Is com
menced It will take only- four weeks to
complete the grading ordered.
Pernmaeat Sidewalks.
On account of the large number of ac
cidents reported recently, the cause being,
so It Is alleged, the poor condition of the
sidewalks, the city council proposes to en
large the permanent . sidewalk district.
There was a conference yesterday and the
talk was that permanent walks should be
laid on all property east of Thirteenth
atreet. This was hardly considered neces
sary by some of the counciliuen, but it ap
pears that so many accidents are reported
from that 'portion of the city that some
thing will have to be done and the laying
ef good walks Is considered the only proper
remedy.

WANT BETTER CAR SERVICE
Omaha Men What Work at Parking
Houses Dead I'etltloa to
Mil) or.
A petition signed by more than a thou
sand residents of Omaha who are employed
at the Poutn Omaha packing houses wa
sent to Mayor Moores. with a letter ask
ing him to investigate the mat.er. The pe
tition le SB follows:
We, the undersigned, desire respectfully
to call your attention to the following, and
pray for such relief as you may be able
to Ive.
TnotiHanils of the residents of Omaha
worn Iti the parking houses at Fouth
itmnhu and are dependent upon the Omaha
Street Railway coniuauy to carry thcin to
and from their work. These men must
K.'t to work on time or loe time by being
late, and the effort of the men in the past
to rati h the overcrowded cars has cafused
loss1 of life.
rotc--n the liojrg of 8 nnd 7 a. m. and
6:3" nisi 6:) p. m , the hours when the
woikingmen are going to and coming from
their work, the service of the Omaha street
railv.fi) Is very pi or, especially in the
morrlnf: so few- oars are run at these
times t'at the cars which do run are over
crowded, men hang on rails and st-ps,
and the paKvengeis liwlde are herded into
the rrs worse than cattle. This Is not
un occasional, but a dally, condition.
The viorklpgmen of Omaha have pa
tiently borne It in the hopes that the street
railway company would afford some relief
nnd give bettor accommodation, but none
has been iiven.
Therefore, we respectfully petition you
for relief. We nsk that In the morning
more cars lie run; tha they run closer to
gether, and that all of the oars go to the
end of y street, South Omaha, and that
at night between 5:.T0 nnd : cars run In
stead of standing on siding.
Speaking of the matter, E. B. Cook said:
"Men on Vinton street have been fo.'ced
to put obstructions on the track to com
pel the cars to atop so that they could get
to work on time. Men have stood at the
corners along Vinton street at 6:10 a. m.,
and six cars have passed, refusing to stop
on account Of the crowded condition, before
they could get a car. It Is a shameful
condition, and the street railway com
pany should be compelled to put on more
cars."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The "Get coal"
convention assembled toJay. A little leis
than two score delegates from a number
of large cities were present and the key
note of ihe addresses was the criticism of
federal ouiclals for not enforcing the anti
trust laws against those rctponfllile for
the shortage.
Mayor Maybury of Detroit presided and
the principal speakers were Senator Mnnon
of Illinois and Congressman Gaines of Ten
nessee. Iioth speakers criticised tho re
sponsible government officials for failure to
Institute proceedings ogninst the Individ
uals snd corporations combined to !:cep
down the supply of coal and to raiBe the
price.
The convention at the evening session
adopted a series of resolutions calling for
remedial action.
Allcgves Combines Kaist.
The declarations set out thst It is the
Judgment and opinion of tne convention
that contracts and combines. In the form
of trusts, exint to the detriment of trade
and of competition In trade, especially In
the production, transportation, distribu
tion and sale of coal; that combines, agree
ments and conspiracies exist between many
of the transportation companies, where
rates and drawbacks are allowed to some
shippers and denied to others; that pools
exist for the purpose and with t'ae effect
of restricting competition and enhancing
the cost of fuel; that such comblues con
stitute an open tnd palpable violation of
the interstate commerce act, and are in
violation of, the anti-trust actv that ade
quate power Ib vested in the United States
courts to restrain such unlawful prac
tices and to dissolve such combinations;
that it is made the duty of the district at
torneys under the direction of the attorney
general to Institute legal proceedings to
compel a proper observance of the laws.
Tells President to Un force Law,
Tho resolutions adopted follow:
Resolved, That the president, whose duty
It Is to see that the laws of the fnlted
Btates are faithfully executed, be and Is
hereby respectfully requested to direct the
attorney general and all other proper otii
clals, to at once cause to be Instituted civil
proceedings In the several circuit courts
where such Infractions exist, to restrain
such Illegal combinations and conspiracies
and strictly enforce the several remedies
provided, and to direct the attorney general
to cause to be summoned grand juries and
cause to be Indicted and punished nil man
agers, directors, otllcers, agents and other
persons whosoever found guilty of viola
tion of the law.
Resolved, That the president be requested
to direct the interstate Commerce commis
sion to Inquire at once into the reasonable
ness of the rates of transportation charged
by the coal transporteation companies, con
cerning any rebates, drawbacks or dis
criminations allowed or permitted by such
transportation companies and to cause said
commission to make application to the
courts fur Injunctions to restrain further
exercise of such abuse.
Resolved, That It Is the sense of this
convention that if such proceedings be in
stituted relief will be had from the existing
evils, that such combinations will at once
dissolve, normal conditions of production,
transportation and distribution will be re

cheaper nnd more abundant supplies of
commodities necessary to life will be ob
tained and restoration of confidence In

and loss of confidence resulting from 1st

the common good and general welfare for
the whole people.
An amendment to lie resolution wbb
adopted providing for the appointment of
a committee of five persons, whose duty It
shall be to consider and present to thq

CHICAGO, Jan. 27. A mob of nearly 500
men, women and boys held up a Chicago
& Northwestern coal train at Webster av
enue on the Wisconsin division and car
ried away the contents of five cars before
dispersed by the police. Women led the
attack, uncoupling the cars and intimi
dating the train crew. For three hours
traffic was suspended while the mob In

statesmanship Immediately following it, for
our good fortune it befell us that the high
est military and the highest civic attributes
were embodied in Washington, and so in
him wo have one of the undying men of
hlHtory a great soldier, if possible an even
greater statesman, and above all a public

patriotism rendered his power and ability
alike on fought fields and in council

to the republic.
Helped Nation Grow. "
It was given to President McKlnley to
take the foremost place In our political life
at a time when our country was brought
lace to race witn problems more momen
tous than any whose solution we have ever
attempted, save only in the revolution and
in the civil war, and It was under his lead
ership that the nation solved these mighty
problems aright. Therefore he shall stand
in the. eyes of history not merely as the
first man or his generation, but as among
the greatest figures in our nutional life.
coming second only to the men of the two
great crises In which the union waa founded
and preserved.
No man could carry through successfully
such a task as President McKlnl y under
took, unlets trained by long years of effort
for Its performance. Knowledge of his
fellow citizens, ability to understand them,
keen sympathy with even their innermon
feelings, and yet power to lead them, to
gether with far-sighted sagacity and reso
lute belief both ill the ieople and In their
future-all these were needed in the man
w ho h- aded the march of our people during
the eventful years from lCii to lsul. These
were the qualities possesstd by McKlnley
and developed by him throughout his whole
history previous to au.-iuming the presi
dency. Some years after the war closed Mc
Klnley came to congress, and rose, during
a Hiicvesslon of terms, to lemiershlp in his
party in the lower house. He also became
governor of his native state. Ohio. During
this varied service he received practical
training of the kind mon valuable to him
when he became chief executive of the
nation. To the high faith of his errly
years was added the capacity to realize his
ideals, to work with his f How men at the
same time that he led them.
No Smlileu lllne to I'oiver.
President McKlniry'a rise to greatness
bad In It nothing of the sudden, nothing
of the unexpected or seemingly accidental.
Thrmifhoiit his long term of service in
congress there was a steady increase alike
In hi power of leadership and tn the recog
nition of that power both by bis associates
in public life and by the public itself.
Session after eesslun his Influence In the
bo.isv grew greater: hl party antagonists
are to look upon him with constantly
Increasing recperi; his party friends with
consun..y lr.i icucini; faith and admiration.
Klght yc;im id .re he was nominated for
president be was ulnudy considered a
presidential poarlt iiit . i'our yearn before
he was noiii.naii'. only his own high sense
of honor piv . er.ted his being made a
formidable competitor of the chief upon
whom the choice of the convention theu
actually fell. In lf'.6 he was chosen be
cause the great mass of hU party knew
hint and believed in him and rt-gurded him
as symbolizing their Ideals, ss rerr"sentliff
their aspirations. In estimating: the inrn'i
which brought about his nnm. nation and
election I do rot undervalue that devoted
l-trsonal friendship which he had the
faculty to inspire lti so marked a deeree
among the at ii"t and most , Inf1uentl.il lead
el s; this leadership was ot Immense conse
quence In hrlnglhg about the reeult; but.
after all. the prime tactor was the Imsi In
"tnd devotion t' him bit by the ri-Tit ma
f men who had come to accept turn as
their rectignlzt'ii spokesman, in his nom
ination the rational i nnvention of a great
party carried Into effect In go.nl faith tne
oellbcrste Judgment of that party us to
who l:s camll'iate should he.
Hut even as a i iiidim.te President Mc
Klnley was far mote than ine candidate
of a party snd as prtshtent he was In the
bruainvt and fullest sense the president ot
:', 1 the peo le of all sections of the
country.
IlrliiKs Prosperity to Land.
His llrst nomination came to him because-
of the qualities he had shown In
healthy and open poiitlc.il leadership, the
leadership winch by word and deed im
presses nseli as n virile force lor good
upon the people at large and w hli h has
noihir.g In rjinmon with mere intrigue or
manipulation. itut In Istio the Issue wa
lalrly joined, chiefly upon a question whicu
as a pally question was entirely new. so
that the old lines ot political cleavage were
in large part abandoned. All ottier lssi.es
sank In importance when compared with
the vital need ol keeplnn our financial ss
tem on the high and honorable plane Im
peratively demanded by our position us a
great civilized power. As tin: champion
of uu h a principle President M. Kinley
received the support not only or Ids own
party but of hundreds of thousands of
those to whom he hid ben politically op
posed. He triumphed, and he made good
with scrupjlous fidelity the promises upon
which the campaign was won. We were
at the time in a period of great Industrial
depression and It was promised for mh1 on
be hair of McKlnley that It be were elected
our financial system should not only be
pr.iHred unharmed, but improved, and
our coon nim sjstem shaped In accord
ance with tlltise theories which have al
was marked our periods, of greatest pros
perity. The promises were kept, and lut
lowmg their keeping came the prosperity
which we now enjoy. All that was foretold
concerning the well-being whlrh would Pil
low the eleitlan of McKlnley bus been
justified bv the event.
Hut, as often happens In our history, the
president was forced to lace qui stiona
other than tin.se ut Issue al the time of
his election. Within a year the situation
In Culm had become literally intolerable.
President AlcKinlev hud fought too well
in his youth, he knew fvi well nt llrst
hand what war really was, light. y to enter
into a struggle. He sought by every honor
able meaim to presi rve peace, to avert war
lie made every effort consistent with the
national honor to bring about tin amicable
settlement of the 'uban difficulty. Then,
when It became evident thai these efforts
were useless, that pea'. co aid n.t be hon
orably enterialned, he devoted his strength
to making the war as short and as declsl..;
as possible. It it needless to tell the result
In detail. Suffice it to say that rarely In
deed in history has a contest so far
reaching in the importance of its outcome
been achieved with such ease. There fol
lowed a harder task. As. a result ot the
war we came into possession of Cuba.
Porto KIcj and ihe Phillppincx. In each
island the conditions were hui h that we
hud to face problems entirely new to our
national experience, and, moreover. In each
ismnd or group of Islands the problems
difTi red radically from those presented in
the others. In Porto Kico the lask Was
simple. The Island could not be Independ
ent. It became In all essentia! a part of
the union. It has been given all Ihe bene
tits of our economic and financial system.
Its Inhabitants have been given the highest
individual liberty, while yet their govern
ment has been kept under th supervision
of officials so well chosen that the Island
can be appealed to as affording a model
for all fuch experiments in the future; and
this result was mainly owing to the admir
able choice of instruments by President
McKlnley when he selected the governing
officials. t
President McKlnley's second campaign
was fought ma'tily on the Issue of approv
ing what he hud done In his lirst adminis
tration, and specifically what he h id done
as regards these problems springing out of
the war with Spain. The result was that
the popular verdict In his favor was more
overwhelming than It had been before.
Honorable Effort Attains Success.
No other president In our history - has
seen high and honorable effort crowned
with more conspicuous personal ucce.
No other president entered upon his second
term feeling such right to a profound and
peaceful satisfaction. Then by a stroke of
horror, so strange in its fantastic iniquity
as to etand unique in the black annals of
crime, he was struck down. The brave,
strong, gentle heart was' stilled forever,
and word waa brought to the woman who
wept that she was to walk thenceforth
alone In the shadow. The hideous Infamy
of the deed shocked the nation, to lis
oepths, for the man- thus struck at was
in a peculiar sense the champion of tho
plain people, in a peculiar sense the repre
sentative and the exponent of those Ideals
which. If we live up to them, will make, as
-i i .. i T. . l .. nor country a
l lliey nuve in . s ' . " - ,
Lblessed refuge for all who strive to dr.
r ... i ... ii. ... thuir lives slniolv and
Well as light is given them. The nation
was stunned, and the people mourned with
a sense of bitter bereavement beeaue-e they
l ad lost a man whose heart beat for them
as the heart of Uncoln once had beaten.
We did right to mourn; for the loss was
ours, not his. He died in the golden full
ness of his triumph. He died victorious In
that highest of all kinds of strife-the
strife for an ampler. Juster and more gen
erous national life. For him the laurc .
out woe for those whom he left behind,
woe to the nation that lost him; and woe to
mankind that there should exist features
so foul thftt one among them should strike
at so noble a life.
We. are gathered together tonight to re
call his memory, to pay our tribute of re
ppect to the great chief and leader who
fell In the harness, who was stricken
down while his eyes were bright with the
light that tells of triumph tasted. We can
honor hlin best by the wa" we show In
actual deed thnt we have taken to heart
the lesBOnn of his life. We must strive to
achieve, each in the measure that he can,
something of the qualities which made
President McKlnley a leader of men, a
mighty power for good-his strength, his
courage, his courtesy and dignity, his sense
of Justice, his ever-present kindliness and
regard for the rights of others. He won
greatness by meeting and solving the Is
sues as they arose not by shirking them
meeting them with wisdom, with the exer
cise of the snost bkillful and ceutious Judg
ment but with fearless resolution when

. Meetings.
BOSTON, Jan. 27. The annual meeting of
the board of stewards of the Grand trotting
circuit was held today, and while a number
of new measures were discussed, the only
definite action taken Was the assignment
of the rece dates for the coming season, as
follows:

The question of employing professional
Judges was discussed, but no action was
taken, the feeling being that each member
could look after its own meeting. Colonel
Thayer proposed barring hoppled horses
who have not acquired standard records.
Nearly all the members seemed In favor
of the new plan, but it was lost, as there
were two votes against It.
1. J. Campau of Detroit vas re-elected

was chosen secretary, In place of 8. W.
Giles, who retired on account of ill health.

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
OVERCOriE.
If You Only Find Ont the Illsht
Coarse to Parage,
Many physicians who advertise to cure
piles, without the rid of the knife, simply
use Pyramid Pile Cu.- remedies. They do
o because they know It is the best medi
cine for obtaining a proper combination of
the most scientific ingredients for the cure
of plies.
Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an experi
mental stage, but is an established remedy
and Is recognized and used by the best phy
Ficlnns in the country. Being In suppository
form, it reaches the trouble at once and the
healing process la quick and effective; im
mediate results are obtained, and before the
patient realizes the fact he has recovered
from the pain, suffering and Irritation
which this trouble causes.
Children who suffer from this painful
trouble obtain relief at once. It is well
with a very young child to reduce the alze
of the suppository before using. However,
If children are afflicted with piles, they
should be treated without delay or the
trouble may become chronic. Hundreds of
little ones have been cured with Pyramid
Pile Cure.
The prevention of piles la better than the
cure and they can be prevented if only
people would look to the regularity of the
bowels and not become constipated. Con
stipation and It attendant ills can be
avoided by the use of Pyramid Pills. The
proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure saw
that Jt was necessary to use with the ma
jority of their patients a mild non-irritating
laxative, and the Pyramid Pills for consti
pation were the result ot much careful
thought and patient Investigation. Pyramid
Pile Curo and Pyramid Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere for fifty and twenty
Ave cents per package.
A little book on the nature and cure of
hemorrhoids or piles will be furnished free
upon application to the Pyramid Drug Co..
