a l:'U" trip Bbctit i he city A. H. MindoV
thi: city attorn, y, has dee bled tliat he will
bf (,;n rroreidlpeH a' once against the squat
teis. This Is an old story In Souih Omaha,
Lii nn the tiiliji'ct comes up two or threo
tiicn a yr It will be interesting to tax
ptyera to sen w hat Murdock will do.
Former city attorneys, have made the same
proposition and In the end It amounted to
r.vlliing. When Montgomery was city at
torney he was Instructed to go ahead and
ell In r mist sfpintters or secure a nominaT
feutal fc t. K'ttiatler who were In posses
sion of H'rei-ts nnd alleys al that time ire
still hcldlng down ground, and unless steps
ore taken they will soon acquire title.
Time and again tho city engineer has
been called upon to give locations of squat
ters, and hci has put In many an hour hunt
ing them up. His reports havo Invariably
been referred to the street and alley com
mi'tfe, and there tho matter rested. Sev
eral valuable tracts of property supposed
to be owned ly the city are now really In
possession of squatters who will go Into
court and claim a ten years' undisputed
residence. In this way 'the city stands to
lose a large amount of property unless
steps are taken at once to compel leases
to f,e made or a rental price agreed upon.
The city officials are In hopes that the city
attorney will attend to this matter at his
earliest convenience.
I nnitrmnlng Old IlnlldliiKS.
While the city engineer Is the building
Inspector al the present time ho does not
hiive an opportunity to get around on ac
count of other work. An assistant. It Is
asserted, will soon be employed to get out
end see that, building permits are brought
In promptly. An Inspection Is also to be
male of dilapidated buildings. Complaint
has been made of the dwelling at Seven
teenth and lflssourl avenue. It Is asserted
that this house, which Is owned by Dr. J.
I!. Kendall of Saratoga, N. Y., Is about to
fall down. The city officials will take 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
eral thing the amount Is so small that re
torts aro not made to police headquarters,
the neighborhood east of Twenty-fourth
treet and north of It street has been af
flcted with petty thieves for some tlmo
Bt, and as a patrolman Is seldom seen In
That portion of the city after dark some of
the citizens have decided to go thief hunt
ing themselves. 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 me irequeni turning loose 01 Bnotguns at
chicken or clothesline thieves disturbs their
rest.
Pnshingr Improvements.
The electric light company has men at
work' building manholes for the conduits
being laid across M street. The cold
weather. delayed the work, but now that ce
ment can be laid the manholes are being
built as rspldly, 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.
. llaallnajr Ice to Packers.
The railroads are hauling Ice to packers.
Those who are In charge of the work say
the Ice crop this year Is harvested and
there Is plenty on hand to last for two
years. If necessary. Yesterday one pack
ing house had 125 cars hauled In and this
Ice was stored away. Other packers are
getting ice right along. There will be no
dearth in the supply for Icing cars during
the coming summer.
llannoat Getting- Anxious.
Since 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 he
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 so." When the work Is com
menced It will take only, four weeks to
complete the grading ordered.
f Permanent 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
treet. This was hardly considered neces
sary by some of the oounclluien, 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
Of good walks Is considered the only proper
remedy.

WANT BETTER CAR SERVICE
Omaha Men Who Work at I'aeklnar
llnnses Bend l'etltloa to
Mayor.
A petition signed by more than a thou
sand residents of Omaha who are employed
at the floutn Omaha packing houses was
sent to Mayor Moores. with a letter ask
ing him to Investigate the maker. The pe
tition In as follows:
We, the undersigned, desire respectfully
to call your attention to the following, and
pray for such relief as you may be able
to ::lvp.
Thousands of the residents of Omaha
worK Iti the narking houses at South
Omiihu and are dependent upon the Omaha
Htreet Railway roinnany to curry them to
and from their work. These men must
g't to work on time or lose time by being
late, nnd the effort of tho men in the past
tu -catch the overcrowded cars has cafused
loss of life.
Hotwopn the ho.irs of 6 nnd T a. m. and
6:3" aiW 6:SU p. m , the hours when the
woikingmen are going to and coming from
their work, the service of the Omaha street
railway is very pi. or, especially In the
mcirr.inr; so lew cars are run at. tnese
times tTiat the cars which do run arc over,
crowded, men bung on rails and st"ps,
nnd the pat-vengcis inside are herded into
the curs worse than cattle. This Is not
un occasional, but a. dally, condition.
The workipgmen of Omaha have pa
tiently borne It in the hopes that the street
railway company would afford some relief
and give better accommodation, but none
has heen clven.
Therefore, we respectfully petition you
for relief. We ask that in the morning
more curs be run; thai they run closer to
gether, and that all of the cars go to the
end of J street. South Omaha, and that
at night between 5:30 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 stop 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 can 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."

Likes the South Omaha Market.
Hon. 8. J. Reed, a prominent farme, and
fine stock raiser of Guthrie Center, la., is
in the city, having brought a train load of
fat cattle to the South Omaha market. "In
central Iowa," said he, "crops were never
better, money was never more plentiful and
the farmers were never in a more nourish
ing condition than at present. The stock
men of Outhrte county appreciate the ad
vantages of the South Omaha market and
are constantly increasing their shipments
to this point." Mr. Heed is a well known
figure In Iowa politics and his friends are
Just now trying to convince him that he Is
the proper person for the republican nomin

Keep Prices I p.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The "Opt coal"
convention assembled toJay. A little less
than two scoe delegates from a number
of large cities were present and the key
note of '.he addresses was the criticism of
federal officials for not enforcing the anti
trust laws against those reeponBlblo for
the shortage.
Mayor Maytmry of Detroit presided and
the principal speakers were Senator Mason
of Illinois and Congressman Gaines of i"cn
nessee. Both speakers criticised the re
sponsible government officials for failure to
Institute proceedings against the Individ
uals and corporations combined to !:cep
down the supply of coal and to raise the
price.
The convention at tho evening session
adopted a series of resolutions calling for
remedial action.
Alleaea Combines Kiint,
The declarations set out that It Is the
Judgment and opinion of the convention
that contracts and combines, In the form
of trusCs, exist 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'je effect
of restricting competition and enhancing
the cost of fuel; that such combines con
stitute an open and palpable violation of
the Interstate commerce act, and are in
violation of, the anti-trust actv that ade
quate power is 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.
Telia President to Kn force Law.
The resolutions adopted follow:
Resolved, That the president, whose duty
It Is to see that the laws of the t'nlted
States are faithfully executed, be and is
hereby respectfully requested to direct the
attorney general and all other proper olll
clals, to at once cause to be Instituted civil
proceedings In the several circuit courts
where such Infractions exist, to reatraln
such Illegal combinations and conspiracies
and strictly enforce the several remedies
provided, and to direct the attorney general
to capse to be summoned grand juries and
cause to be Indicted and punished all man
agers, directors, otlicers, agents and other
persons whosoever found guilty of violu
tlon of tho 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 transporteatlon companies, con
cerning any rebates, drawbacks or dis
criminations allowed or permitted by Biich
transportation companies and to cause said
commission to make application to the
courts for 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
stored and healthful competition revived,
cheaper and more abundant supplies of
commodities necessary to life will be ob
tained and restoration of contldence In
official Integrity returned and the Ameri
can peoplo be saved from the humiliation
and loss of confidence resulting from 1st
or non-enforced solemn vows enacted for
the common good and general welfare tor
the whole people.
An amendment to the resolution was
adopted providing for the appointment of
a committee of Ave person, whose duty It
shall be to consider and present to th3
attorney general from time to time evi
dence of any acts apparently in violation of
the anti-trust act and the Interstate com
merce act.
Hold I p a Coal Train.
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
creased to more than a thousand persons.
The city began today supplying coal to
those who were willing to pay, but who
could not pay the price asked by retailers.
PUTS H'KINLEY HIGH
(Continued from First Page.)
requirements shall be fully met. In the
revolution and in the period of 1 obstructive
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 ho in
him we have one of the undying men of
hiwtory a great soldier, if possible an even
greater statesman, and above all a public
servant whose lofty and disinterested
patriotism rendered his power and ability
alike on fought fields and in council
chambers of the most far-reaching service
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 face with 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 th eyes of history not merely as the
first man of his generation, but as among
the greatest figures In our national life,
coming second only to the men of the two
great crises In which the union was founded
and preserved.
No man could carry through successfully
such a task as President McKlnley 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 innermost
feelings, and yet power to lead them, to
gether with far-sighted sagacity and reso
lute belief both in the people and in their
future-all these were needed In the man
who hv aded the march of our people during
the eventful years from lMul to lmil. These
were the qualities possesst d by McKlnley
and developed by him throughout his w hole
history previous to assuming the presi
dency. Some years atter the war doped Mc
Klnley came to congress, and rose, during
a succession of terms, to leadership 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 inott valuable, to him
when he became chief executive of the
nation. To tlie high faith of his errly
years was added the capacity to realize Ills
Ideals, to work with his f How men at the
same time that he led them.
No Siiildeu Itlae to Power.
President McKlnley's rise to greatness
had in it nothing of the audden, nothing
of the unexpected or seemingly accidental.
Throiiphout his long term 0 service in
congress there was a steady increase alike
In hi power of leadership and in the recog
nition of that power both by his associates
In public life and by the public Itself.
Session after session his influence In the
hoiise grew eriator; his party antagonists
grew to look upon him with constantly
Increasing recpect; hla parly friends with
constancy iiu Tea" :ing faith and admiration.
Klght yew in itr.re he was nominated for
president lie was alrtady considered a
presidential posi-il liitv. i'our years before
he wss ncm.ndiet', only his own high sense
of honor piv . euted his being made a
formidable competitor of the chief upon
whom the choice of the convention then
actually fell. In K-' he was chosen be
cause the great mass of his party knew
i hliu and believed In him and regurded him
n symbolizing their Ideals, as representing
their aspirations, in estimating the furies
which brought about his nomination and
election 1 do rot undervalue that oevoie.I
ptrsonal friendship which he had the
faculty to Inspire 111 so marked a degree
among the ablest and most .Int1iientt.il leud
eis; this leadership was ot Immense conse
quence In bringing about tile result; but.
after all. the prime lactor was the tmst In
"nd devotion to him felt by the gront mil"
of men who had come to uccept him as
their recognized spokesman, in his nom
ination the national convention of a great
party carried Into ffect in jiond faith tne
deliberate Judgment ot that party as to
who its cHiiilliiate should be.
Hut een as a ciiiilionte President Mc
Klnley was fur more than tne candidate
of a party and as prtslnent he was In the
broadest and fullest sense the president ot
nil the people of all sections of the
country.
Ilrlnsr Prosperity to Land.
His lirst nomination came to him because-
of the qualities he had shown In
healthy and open political leadership, the
leadership which by word and deed im
presses itselt as 11 virile force tor good
upon the people at larne and which has
nothing In cjinmon with mere Intrigue or
manipulation. Hut in lf.'ti the Issue was
fairly joined, chieily upon a question whicu
as a party question whs entirely new, so
ihat the old lines ot political cleavage were
In large part abandoned. All other Issues
sank In importance when compared with
the vital need 01 keeping our financial sys
tem on the high and honorable plane Im
peratively demanded by our position us a
great civilized power. As tho champion
of eu h a principle President McKlnley
received the support not only of his own
party but of hundreds of thousands of
those to whom he had 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 o great Industrial
depression and it wus promised for and on
beliiiir of -Mckinley that If he were elected
our financial system should not only be
preserved unharmed, but Improved, and
our vconomiQ sjstcm shaped in accord
ance with tlitise theories which have al
ways marked our periods Of greatest pros
perity. The promises were kept, and fol
lowing their keening came the prosperity
which we now enjoy. All that was foretold
concerning the well-being which would lol
low the election of McKlnley has been
justified bv the event.
Hut, as often happen In our history, tho
president wus forced to face questions
other than those nt issue at the time of
his election. Within a year the situation
in Cuba had become literally intolerable.
President AlcKinley had tought too well
in his youth, he knew tro well nt Hist
hand what war really was, lightly to enter
into a struggle. He sought by every honor
able meaii to prosi 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 that these efforts
were useless, that peaco. could not be hon
orably entertained, he devoted his strength
to making the war as short nnd us declsl .
as possible. It is needless to tell the result
In detail. Suffice It to say that rarely In
deed in history has a contest so fnr
reachlng In the importance of Its outcome
been achieved with such case. There fol
lowed a harder task. As. a result of the
war we came Into possession of Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippine. In each
island the conditions were such that we
hud to face problems entirely new to our
national experience, and, moreover, In each
lsmnd or group of Islands the problems
diffi red radically from those presented in
the others. In Porto Rico the task Was
simple. The lslnnd could not be independ
ent. It became In all essentia! a part of
the union, it has been given all the bene
lits 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 thut the island
can be appealed to as affording a model
for all nuch 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'.nly on the Issue of approv
ing what he had 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 Kffort Attains Suceesa.
No other president in our history has
seen high and honorable effort crowned
with more conspicuous personal success.
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 was 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 its
oepths, for the man- thus struck at was
in a peculiar eense the champion of tho
plain people, in a pecullur sense the repre
sentative and the exponent of those ideals
which, If we live up to them, will make, as
they have largely made, our country a
.blessed refuge for all who strive to do
right and to live their lives simply and
Well as light is given them. The nation
was stunned, and the people mourned with
a sense of bitter bereavement becauee 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, Jtmter and more gen
erous nutlonal life. For him the laurel,
nut woe for those whom he left behind,
woe to the nation that lost him; and woe to
mankind that there should exist creatures
so foul that 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
aped to the great chief and leader who
fell In the harness, who was stricken
down while his eyes were bright with the
light that tellb of triumph tasted. We can
honor hlin best by the wav we show in
actual deed that we have taken to heart
the lesson 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

triumph as opening the road to fresh ef
fort not as an excuse for ceasing from
effort. He undertook mlijhty tasks. Some
of them he finished completely; others we

Harry Vallter, aged 23 years, and Miss Bes

father objected nnd sent the young man
home, locking his daughter up In his home
until her ardor cooled. Miss Relgel, whose

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
OVERCOflE.
If You Only Find Ont the Hlght
Coarse to Pursue.
Many physicians who advertise to cure
piles, without the rid of the knife, simply
use Pyramid Pile Cu.- remedies. They do
0 fcecuuse they know it Is the best medi
cine for obtaining a proper combination of
the moBt scientific ingredients for the curs
of piles.
Pyramid Pile Cure is not In an experi
mental stage, but 1b an established remedy
and Is recognized and used by the best phy
sicians In the country. Being In suppository
form, it reaches the trouble at once and the
healing process is 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 size
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 is better than the
cure gnd they can be prevented if only
people would look to the regularity of the
bowels and not become constipated. Con
stipation and lta attendant ills can be
avoided by the use ot Pyramid Pills. The
proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure saw
that it was necessary to use with the ma
jority ot their patients a mild non-lrrltatlng
laxative, and the Pyramid Pills for consti
pation were the result ot much careful
thought and patient investigation. Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere for fifty and twenty
five cents per package.
A little book on the nature and cure of
hemorrhoids or piles will be furnished free

CATARRH
Often begins with a coM in the head, but
it never atop there. The tendency is r.l
ways from bad to worse. The simple oohl
becomes a protracted, stubborn one, the hot,
Wi.tcty discharge from the nope thickens,
a-kl is more profuse and offensive. The in
f.antniution extends to the tltroat and broti
chial tnties, causing hoarseness, a tickling
sensation and nn aggravating rough. The
foul matter tint is continually dropping
back into the throat finds ilt way into the
ftomoch. resulting in a distressing form of
dyspepsia, nausea, loss of appetite and
strength. The ca

become Infected,
and what was supposed to lie purely a local
disease lia9 become constitutional, deep
seated and chronic.
Sprays, washes, powders, salves and
other external remedies give only tempor
ary relief, and the disappointtnl and
disgusted patient finally gives tip in despair
r.nd declares catarrh incurable.
The only way to get rid of catarrh per
manently is to treat it through the blood.
The system must be toned tip and all
impurities removed from the blood, and
this S. S. S. does promptly nnd thoroughly.
It expels from the circulation everything
of an irritating, poisonous character, allow

the mucous discharges

done to the health is
soon repaired. S. S. S.

vigorous condition that cold, damn weather
or sudden changes in the temperature are
not ao apt to bring on catarrhal troubles.
S. S. S. is a vegetable medicine tineqttaled
