PRESIDENT O'CONNEIL COMING TO OMAHA
Report fhat Sonthera Fnelfle Has
Beea Worhlna- Hn Overtime aad
Haa Discharged Thos.
Who Refused.
James O'Connell, president of the Inter
national Association of Machinists, la com
ing to Omaha at once and there la every
prospect that after a Ion surcease of ac
tivity there will be something doing In the
Union Pacific strike. Mr. O'Connell la com
ing la response to an urgent telegraphic
request from Vice President Tom Wilson,
sent Tuesday, and be haa wired that he
11l leava Washington Saturday. That will
bring him to Omaha Monday ar Tuesday.
The proposition la to pull out the ma
chlnlata along the Southern Pacific. This
has never been considered before during the
progress of the strike. The boiler makers
bava openly agitated taking out their
Southern Faclfio men, but the machinists
have not made such plans before. But
Ince all efforts to have the fifteen South
ern Paclflo englnea In the service of the
Union Pacific removed bava proved fruit
less tha extension of the strike haa been
contemplated.
Mr. Wilson has been gathering data on
tha attitude and condition of the men on
the western rosd and bo now has the mat
ter all ready to lay before President O'Con
nell. The Southern Pacific, half anticipat
ing a strike because of the maor reports
that It waa to be extended, has been for
months working Its men overtime, night
and day, ao aa to get the motive power In
tha best possible condition.
Raala for i Strike.
Two weeks ago Wilson succeeded In get
ting tha overtime stopped, save for running
repairs. Since then a few men have been
discharged for refusing to work overtime.
That furnishes the basis for a strike, re
lieving It of all sympathetic elements.
Machinists at headquarters here ssy that
from Information received yesterday In re
sponse to queries there are ISO machinists
' at Sacramento, all ready to go out, forty-
nine at Wadsworth In the same state of
' mind and fifty-two at Ogden equally will
Ing. At the latter place there are three
nonunion men. All the others are union.
Reports from the other Southern Pacific
points are being gathered.
Whan Mr. O'Connell comes he will be
given this Information, the situation will
be explained and he will then be asked to
present the matter to the executive board
for a vote. This body refusing to call out
. tha men, Wilson says tha atrlkers here may
have to do It on their own responsibility,
as It Is the only effective course left to
them. Wilson says they are now financially
fixed to take the matter through on both
roada.
' The Coo r a ae of Our Soldiers,
In the recent report.' received
from the Philippine Islands a high
tribute la paid to the cour
age and kindness of our soldiers In mil
itary operatlona. There Is also great
tribute paid to the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters by thousands of grateful
people who owe their good health to Ita
use. It you are a sufferer from heartburn,
Indigestion, dyspepsia, Insomnia, constipa
tion, bllousnees ar malaria, try a bottle of
tha Bitters today. It will prove the first
atep towards gocd health. '

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A Koot, EaTeetaal and Coarraiei
for Catarrh.
t Care
Of Catarrh remedies, there Is no end, but
of catarrh cures, there has always been a
great scarcity. There are many remedies
to relieve, but very few that really cure.
The old practice of snuffing sslt water
through the nose would often relieve, and
the washes, douches, powders and Inhaler
in common use are very little. If any, better
than the old fashioned salt water douche.
The use of Inhalers and the application
of salves, washes and powders to the nose
and throat to cure cttarrh Is no more
reasonable than to rub the back to cure
kidney disease. Catarrh Is Just as much
a blood dlsesse aa kidney trouble or
rheumatism and It can not be cured by
local treatment any more than they ran
be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal amlseptto
treatment Is necessary to drive the catar
rhal poison out of the blood snd system,
and the new catarrh cure Is designed on
this plan and the remarkable success of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is because being
used Internally, It drives out catarrhal In
feetloa through action upon stomach, liver
and bowels.
Wtu. Zimmerman of St. Joseph relates
aa experience with catarrh which Is of
value to millions of catarrh sufferers
everywhere. He says: "I neglected a slight
nssal catarrh until It gradually extended
to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally
even my atomach and liver became affected
hut as i was able to keep up and do a
day's work I let It run along until my
bearing began to fall me and then I
realised that I must get rid of catarrh or
loae my position, as I was clerk and my
bearing waa absolutely necesrary.
Some of my friends recommended an In
baler, another a catarrh aalve, but they
were no good In my esse, nor was aaythlag
else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and bought a package at my drug
store. They benefited me from the start
and In lass than four months I was com
pletely cured of catarrh, although I bad
suffered nearly all my life from It.
They are pleasant to take and so much
mora coavenlsnt to use tbaa other catarrh
remedies that I feel 1 raa not aay enough
in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets."
TO ENFORCE THE SLOCUMB LAW
Lawyer Xartla Sotlgee Police Board
fhat tie will Apply for
a rrrlt.
Wednesday afternoon. Just bfore 3
o'clock, notice was served on the Tire and
Police commissioners snd the chief of po
lice by George c. Martin of the Intention
ct John D. MacRae to apply to tni supreme
court of Nebraska for a perrmptory wr t of
mandamus to compel the enforcement of
the Slorumb law to the letter In Omaha.
The application will be made on Tuesday,
March i.
John D. MacRae, the relator. Is a travel
ing man In the employ of Parlln, Orendorf
Martin. He owns his residence at 810
South Twenty-seventh street and has been
a frequent protestant against the Issuing
of a license for the operation of ths sa
loon at 2705 Leavenworth, afreet. Attorney
Martin said:
"Mr. MacRae has protested to the Board
of Fire and Pclice Commissioners tor sev
eral years without avail. Re is a temper
ance man and objects to the salron selling
cn Bund-iys, to minors and with the screens
up, all three of which objections are cov
ered by the Blocumb law. This year he pro
tested against when Charles Mets applied
for the license. The present board Ignored
his protest altogether. We went Into dis
trict court and secured from Judge Estelle
a writ of mandamus compelling the board
to reconvene, revoke tha Mets license and
grant a hearing on the protest, but the
effect of this was temporarily annulled by
the Judge's allowing Mets to file a super
sedeas bond and carry the caae up to the
supreme court on error. Probably It will
be six months or more before the court
reachea the cafe and In the meantime the
saloon may continue '.a operation.
"This exasperated Mr. MacRae Into tak
ing more safatary course. Primarily, of
course, he wlshta the saloon near his hime
to obey the Slocnmb law, but he Is willing
that all should be brought to time, and so
asks the supreme court for this writ of
mandamus.
"Yes, this action could have been started
In district court, but It doesn't ost much
more to go into the supreme court, and we
took It there to save time that might be
lost If we began In district court and the
matter was carried up subsequently on ap
peal of some kind."

WORKMAN TEMPLf NEEDS GOOD APPROACH
eh ta the Arcament of Thoee Who

from Twenty-Fourth
Street W eat-
Now that the Workmen tc-nple at Twenty-fifth
and M streets Is nesting comple
tion, the members of the building commit
tee having In charge the construction of
the temple are turning their attention to
the condition cf M street between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-fifth streets. It Is pro
posed now to endeavor to secure the paving
of this street from the west line of Twenty
fourth street to the east line of Twenty
fifth street. Several times In the past an
effort has been made to secure tne signa
tures of enough property owners to pave
this one Mock, but there slways has been
some hitch. Now that the largest hall In
South Omaha s soon to be opened. It is
considered no more than right that a paved
street should lead to It. One difficulty is
the government building at Twenty-fourth
and M. streets. The government has de
clined to pay the expense of paving any
portion of M street, and so the cost will
fall upon the city. At a rough estimate,
this block ran be paved with vitrified brick
for 7,000. The cost of paving on the south
side ot the postoffice building would be
about $600. In the event that the majority
of the property owners csn be Induced to
sign a paving petition the council thinks
that It can secure the necessary funds from
some source to pave on the south side of
the postoffice. While it is a little early to
talk of paving, the Workmen are pushing
this project snd hope to have matters In
shape to present to the council by the
middle of next month.
Another -Complication.
When the South Omaha Library board
met yesterday afternoon It was the Inten
tion to make a draft on Andrew Carnegie's
agent for 15, COO. This was to be the first
Installment of the $50,000 donated for a
library In Bouth Omaha. Certain forms
must be carried out In order to pass the
agents who handle Mr. Carnegie's money
and yesterday another snag was struck.
When the draft was partially made out It
appeared that the Library board bad no
treasurer. In the organization It was pre
sumed that City Treasurer Howe would
take this por'.lon of the work, although he
had not been consulted. When it came to
a showdown yesterday afternoon Mr. Howe
did not think it part of his duty and as
a bond Is required he did not feel like
going to the expense of paying for a bond.
The result was that 'the board adjourned
without mailing the draft. An effort will
be made today to Induce one ot the cash
iers of the banks here to act as custodian
of the funds. As soon as this detail Is
arranged the draft will be forwarded. At
the rate matters are progreasing the pro
posed library building will be a long time
coming.
Her. Blont Coming, t
Rev. A. Blom of Chicago' will deliver, a
series of lecture at the 8wedish Baptist
church. Twenty-second and K streets, on
the evenings otTfebruary 26, 27 and 28. The
topic will be "Around the World." Rev.
Blom recently returned from an extended
trip and will give to those who care to
hear him a concise statement of the con
dition of affairs in the far east. Members
of this church, request that glj.tjiose who
are Interested attend the lectures.
Looking- for Bonds. .
Friends of Patrick Shea were out yes
terday afternoon looking for bonds. Mr.
Shea- waa arraigned before Judge King at
noon and pleaded not guilty to the charge
of murder In the second degree. As It waa
not deemed advisable to detain the court
after the usual hour of closing, the matter
of bonds will go over for a day or two.
In case bends are furnished It Is under
stood that the preliminary hearing set for
Saturday will be continued, or else the
examination will be waived. When Shea
appeared in court yesterday noon with his
attorney he was well dressed, looked well
and was not at all nervoiis when the war
rant was read to him by Captain Troutan.
He greeted his friends In the' court room
with a hearty handshake and a pleasant
word. When the amount of the bond to
be given was announced by Judge King
neither Shea nor hia attorney made any
sign of displeasure. Later on In the after
noon Shea bad the pleasure of airing him
self on the sunny side of the lty hall
building while waiting for his commitment
papers to be made out.
Etter Want Hose.
Chief Etter of the Ore department would
like to have the city officials purchase aa
soon as possible not lees than 1,000 feet of
hose and two horses for use In the depart
ment. Councilmen Brodertck. . Welsh and
Smith, who compose thj fire and water
committee, are free to say that Etter will
have to go without hose unless some pro
vision Is made to furnish funds. The city
rotincll, it appears, does not feel Inclined
to go against the law and permit any bills
to accumulate In any ot the departments
until the present overlap is taken care of
In some way. There is a' natural wear on
hose each year which necessitates the pur
chase ot from 600 to 1,000 feet of new hose.
In addition to the hose needed now two
horses are badly needed. Just now the city
has no money to pay Its firemen, let alone
buying bose and horses. It v as stated yes-
terdsy that unless relief came soon the
mayor would be requested to cut down both
the fire and police departments In order to
ve money.
Want More Pavement.
A petition has been signed for the paving
of Thirtieth street from Q street south to
Z street. Of course the curbing snd gut
tering goes along with the paving petition
As B. Jetter owns a majority ot the foot
frontage, and he having signed the petition
for all his lots on the street, it is more
ihan likely that the city council will make
a favorable report when the petition is pre
sented. Jetter hopes to have thla work
dono during the coming aummer. It waa
stated at the city ball yesterday that In
case the street was paved a number of the
old shacks now standing would be torn
down to make room for modern houses to
be erected for those employed near by.
.Maleahy tioes Bark.
Deputy Sheriff Roach visited tha city

fjhere was little. left for her to say.
P She said that St. Louis would welcome all
tthe daughters and their families and friends
