OMAHA 110LDS CONVENTION National Editorial Associ&tioi Will Ooma to This City in July, 'TWIN CITIES', EFFORT EXERTED IN VAIN Attempt St. Paal ssd Mlaacapslla to Tavk the Conventloa Away trvm th Gat City 1 PreTti Fatlla. The 1801 eonventlon of the National Edi torial association will ba held In' Omaha July I to 11, Inclusive, as originally planned. Despite a strong disposition on the part of Secretary Page and several members of the national executive com mittee to relieve Omaha, of the assembly, It was decided positively in Chicago Thurs day that the place of meeting would not be changed,. On behalf of the whole commtt- V tea Secretary Pag . and Committeeman Herbert of New Tork settled the matter , definitely with a committee of Omahans, the former capitulating and the latter ad hering to the decisions as to railway ex cursions and entertainment. Secretary Utt of the Commercial club and President Medlar and M. Q. Perkins of the Trl-Clty Press club made the trip to Chloage to confer with the authorized rep- . resentatlves of the executive committee. The meeting was at the Palmer house and ' In the offices of several railway passenger agents and lasted all day. A number of business men from St. Paul and Minne apolis were in the Windy City at the same time, struggling might and main to get the convention. They offered, Inducements outpointing those proffered by Omaha In some particulars, but certain diplomacy and tact exerted by Secretary Utt and the other members of the Omaha party aeems to have won the day. Onalm Krrpi It Wrd. It was shewn very clearly that last sum mer, w.hen Omaha won the convention, the ' railroads had fromhial- ''the usual courte sies1; In thjg way qf excursions to Yellow stone park. Ihe Black Hills, Colorado and other points, but that conditions have changed and the lines have refused the old time transportation accommodations. While the excursion to Tellowstone park still re mained, other extended, trips. would mean that Omaha business men and others would have to Alt up something; like $2.6(0 In order to send the scribes through an alien coun try from which they might be supposed to derive inspiration for newspaper "mention." After Secretary Page had wrestled a few bouts with the passenger agents he grew iw see me situation more clearly and ad- nrniea mat Omaha bad not gone back on Its promises. After that a utH.m.nf . quickly arranged and tha discussion was uovoiea 10 me program. . From now on the committees of the Commercial and Press clubs will labor with the preparations for tha mnvantinn' for which nearly 1,000 delegates and their wives are expected. As roughly outlined, a theater will be obtained for a convention hall, and on the first evening a reception will be given, with speech making by prom inent cltisens and members of the associa tion, muslo and refreshments. On ninth.. evening the editors will be escorted to the inn ana initiated into the delights of Ak-Bar-Ben. Cars will be taken to see that the visitors Inspect the packing houses, the smelter and other Industries and Tlslt places of Interest and the summer resorts. The railroad excursions, part of them being rree, will carry such as cars to go to Lake OkoboJI. the Black Hills, Colorado and Yellowstone park. Chamberlala's Stomaeh and Liver Tablets Better Thaa Pills. The question has been asked. In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to pills? Our answer is They are easier and more pleasant to take, more gentle and mild In their action and more reliable, as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and In vigorate the stomach and leave the bowels In a natural condition, while pills are more harsh In effect and their use is often fol lowed by constipation.

VEX WILS-Cr rTBTTT.LINO COW UNION PACIFIC MAKES GAIN Comes Out of Strike with Increase in Gross and Net Earnings. OPERATING EXPENSES OF COURSE 60 UP Local Railroads lu Fight Over Tiui. portatloa of Modern Woodmen of America to Annual Meeting ta Indianapolis. As the Union Pacific emerges from tha ordeal of the strike which has been on with Its boiler makers, blacksmiths and ma chinists for almost an entire year, It brings with It a record that will stand for some time. Despite the Inevitable Increase In the operating expenses which have been enormous, the road shows gains Iq its gross and net earnings for every month and therefore a substantial gain for the ten months of the fiscal year, which reports are now made up. This Is a matter that has attracted general Interest and aroused much favorable comment among railroad men throughout the country. For the ten months of the current fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1902. and ending April 30, last, the net earnings amounted to IIS.95,049, an increase for the corre sponding period the year before of 1145,424. The gross earnings for April were 4,n6, 200, Increase, 1434,832. and the net earnings for that month were 11,726.610, an Increase Of 18,854. Various estimates. In the millions, have been made of the extra expense Imposed on the company by reason of the strike, but it has boen Impossible to get at any offi cial statement as to this. Obviously the amount has been great and operating and other Incidental expenses have been swelled thereby. It Is a matter of much moment In railroad circles, therefore, that tha com pany should come out with such a show ing at almost the end or the fiscal year. The fiscal year began July 1 and the strike June 18, bo that the earnings of the entire year, up to date, have been subject to the Influence of this strike. In the meantime the company has materially Increased its eaulpment, one additional Item being the purchase of seventy-one new locomotives. After Woodmen Traffic. . Because of a spirited contest among rail roads centering In Omaha the delegates from this part of the country who attend the annual meeting of the Modern Woodmen of America at Indianapolis June 14, may get the benefit of a very low rate and then agiln they may have the privilege of pay ing the full fare. $19.40 round trip. The fight over this business had its origin In St- Paul and Minneapolis. The com petition for it became so sharp that one ambitious line offered to slice off a little from the regular rate. This looked good to the Woodmen and about the time they were snatching It up another road cut In with still a' lower rate and then the skirmish spread until all the roads leading toward Indianapolis were In It. This means of course that several of the Omaha lines were In It. The matter was then taken up at Chicago by executive officials and when tha scene of conflict wss shifted to Omaha and one line proposed a rate of 1 15 for the round trip providing 100 passengers could be ob tained, a competitor Jumped In with a C4 rats and to make things more Interesting still another road announced a $10 rate and so now have put on -their thinking caps and are soberly pondering over the question whether since, as they claim the profit Is taken out of the business at this price, all had better not agree, to let the normal rate obtain or whether the fight shall be allowed to go on and the road making the lowest rale get the business. The Woodmen are raising no very loud howl over the matter, but are calmly sit ting back awaiting the outcome. They will not protest If some road offers to cut out the matter of charge altogether and haul them free. In the meantime It Is the opinion of cer tain passenger officials that the whole thing will end by the executive officials at Chicago getting together and pulling out the reduced rate, letting the regular fare stand. Rock Island 'Frisco One. Locally 'and otherwise the purchase of the "Frisco by the Rock Island is no longer a matter of doubt, but is strictly confirmed. The deal was operated through the J. . P. Morgan company, which offered to pur chase on behalf of the Rock Island all the share of common stock of the St. Louis & San Francisco at iHooo.OOO outstanding, provided that J22.5()0,0u0 of this stock should be deposited with this firm by June 1. This proposition Is said to have been com plied with and the deal consummated. Therefore the 'Frisco and Rock Island are now one, comprising a system of railroads with a total mileage of 17.500 and holding such sway in the southwest as to come near controlling that part of the country. But with the termini In Chicago, the Twin Cities and Omaha the scope of Its terri tory Is extensively widened and Its pos sibilities wonderfully multiplied. Imperial Train lo Saratoga. The "Imperial train," which Is to take the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine from this part of the country to their Imperial coun cil In Saratoga, which holds from July 7 to 10. Is to oe one of the finest trains ever made up In Omaha. It Is to start from this city, consisting of twelve new coaches, and convey to Saratoga delegates from Omaha and a scope of country surround ing. The Northwestern will take tha train as far as Chicago, where U will be turned over to the Wabash, which will take it on to Saratoga, using West Shore and Dela ware 9t Hudson tracks beyond Buffalo. One of the features of this "Imperial pil grimage" will be the presence of Henry C. Akin, Imperial potentate, and escort. It Is In fact to be Colonel Akln's "special" and the other Shrlners who ride with him are to be merely his aides-de-camp, as It were. The committee having the transpor tation In charge consists of B. F. Thomas, W. Y. Teetrel and W. B. Whltehorn. The Burlington Is not yet able to send Its trains through to Kansas City, but hopes to be by today or possibly Sun day. Its trains are going Into St. Joseph without any trouble. The bridge over the Platte river at Ashland, one bent of which was damaged. Is being repaired and No. 2 made a trip over It yesterday. The bridge at Ottumwa is not yet In safe repair. The Rock Island has begun running Hs trains west to Denver over its own tracks. No. (, leaving Omaha at 1:30, being the first train to make the trip. A stub train was sent out Instead of the regular one. ON WITH THE AUTO BRAKES Chief of Police Bays Honelesi Vehiolee Must Bedacs Speed.

Chief Donahue has set his foot down hard on the reckless driving of automo biles and motor-cycles on Omaha streets. Orders were Issued to all policemen to stop and arrest all automobillsts proceed ing faster than the ordinary gait of a horse, ' or more rapidly than they could stop their machine at short notice. The Instructions to the officers and men were emphatic and explicit and the chief an nounced that he would expect to see the order carried out to the letter. Many complaints have reached the police department during the last few weeks con cerning the abandon with which the auto drivers were traversing main traveled thoroughfares. Numerous narrow escapes of pedestrians and vehicles and several accidents of a minor nature were reported. Since mild weather began the number of heavy tcurlng cars and runabouts of various- kinds In Omaha has more than doubled, and the average speed has been Increased manifold by the presence of the new autos. Races have been of frequent occurrence anl speed trials a matter of continuance performance. Meanwhile mothers have shuddered and little children have missed death by Inches scores of times. May Make Arrests. Chief Donahue says this has got to stop or It will be curtailed by arrests and vigorous prosecutions. He has looked up the ordinances and finds that action Ctli be obtained by recourse to the general city law governing the speed .of all vehicles. The limit here placed Is eight miles an hour, but the chief's ukase leaves It to the judgment of the officers whether the machines are under the Im mediate control of the drivers. According to the chief, the automobillsts have made certain streets regular upeed- ways. The stretches sele?t3d include Far nam from Fortieth to Sevsnteenth. Fortieth street and Lowe avenue lietween Farnam and Cuming, all of North Twenty-fourth street, South Sixteenth street. Tenth street and the upper portion of Cuming. "The matter has really become dangerous and Inimical to the public safety," said Chief Donahue. "It has reached a point where a man, whether on foot or In a buggy. Is not safe on tha street, while the menace to children In the thickly settled neighborhoods Is appalling. The approach of the automobile la so lUlet and unex pected that the victim is usually so be wildered that he does not have the wits to get out of the way. I am thoroughly In earnest when I say 'hat the drivers will have to stop traveling at exoeaalve speed. In New York the ordinance limits the progress to four miles an hour. That speed should be fast enough for Omaha." and although the weather was bad the hall was crowded. The subjects of sidewalks and the extension of the Ames avenue street car line were taken up and discussed at length, owing to the faot that these are the most Important Improvements needed In that part of the city. The appointment of commutes to look after the various Improvements was allowed to go over until the next meeting night, Mondav, June 8. Twenty were added to the already large membership at the last meeting. The officers are: H. A. Wilson, president; Fremont W. Rickles, vice presi dent; Hubert H. Cronk, secretary; and Grant ParBons, treasurer. KICK HAIR FOR ALL. Onee Destroy the DandrnS Germ, and Hair Grows Luxuriantly. Any one can have nice hair If he or she has not dandruff, which causes brittle, dry hair, falling hair and baldness. To cure dandruff It Is necessary to kill the germ that causes It, and that Is Just what Newbro's Herplclde does. Cornelius Grew, Colfax, Wash., says: "One bottle of Herplclde completely cured me of dandruff, which was very thick, and it has stopped my hair from falling out." It makes hair soft and glossy as silk; de lightful odor and refreshing hair dress ing. It will positively make hair grow abundantly and kills the dandruff germ. Send 10 cents In stamps for free sample to The Herplclde Co., Detroit. Mich. The Wabash Railroad "In the Good Old Summer Time" offer many special rates to Boston, Indianapolis, Baltimore, St..

Does Not Allow a Retlrlnsj Body to Tie the Hands of Ite Sneceeaor. City Attorney Wright's opinion that the appointments made by the former Board of Public Works and confirmed by the new city council are Illegal was submitted to the Board of Public Works yesterday. As Chairman Rose water Is oit of the city, the two members of the board present at yesterday's meeting adjourned without taking any action in the matter. Mr. Wright says the appointments are Illegal for two reasons: First, because the appointments were not confirmed by the former council, that being the confirming power at the time the appointments were made; second, because the law does not allow a retiring body to tie the hands of Its successor, such action being against public policy. "Do you believe the new board has the power, under the charter, to discharge the appointees of the former board and place new names on the payrolls?" was asked Mr. Wright. "I am of the opinion that the board could take such action," he replied, "but I have not gone Into that phase of the matter thoroughly." , ' ' ' Mortality Statistics.
