BIG SCARE OVER SMALLPOX
Passengers Are Mirk Eaelted When
Afflicted Porter Is Taken
The elevator will be built after the plan
of several large ones recently constructed
In Minneapolis, having Immense metal
tanks for the storage of grain in place ot
the old-style wooden tanks, Tha Ne
braska Elevator company has twenty-six
elevators on the line of the Rock Inland
and Union Pacific and all of these will be
used as sources of supply for the large
new building to be put up:
The reason Council Bluffs was chosen as
the site In preference to Omaha is that
all of the eastern freight terminals are
located there, aa well as some of the
terminals of Western roads. Including the
Union Pacific.
WILL TEST SCAVANGER ACT
Joseph W. Woodrongh Advises City
of Intention to File Injunc
tion Against the Uw,
City Attorney Wright has received notice
from Attorney Joseph W. Woodrough that
the latter would ask permission from the
supreme court on January 19 to file
petitions In a case to test the validity of
the scavenger tax law. A copy of the
petition was served also, Woodrough as
Berts he Is the owner of property that will
be affected and asks for a permanent In
junction against the city and county to
forbid the operation of the law, on the
ground that it is In contravention with a
number of the articles of the constitution-
"It Is the Intention of both sides to
expedite the rase," said the city attorney,
"We shall try to get a decision early In
March, but If it Is handed down by May 1
It will be In time so we can operate under
the law this year. It Is qertainly to the
Interest of the city to have the law ad
Judlcated, as upon Its strength depends
whether or not wo will recover the im
mense sums In back taxes that we hope
to do."
It is supposed that besides himself Wood
rough represents other parties either prop
erty holders or men who wish to Invest In
the tax titles.
SAYS CONTRACT iS BROKEN
City Engineer Rorewt'or Declmi Garbge
Company Violates In Agreement.
FAVORS MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF WORK
Cltea Cost of Destroying Hefase In
Other titles to Dhow Advantage -of
the System Which He
Advoeates.
Severe criticism on the methods of the
City Garbage company are made-ln the re
port on the garbage and refuse situation
which City Engineer Rosewater has sub
mitted to the council. , He 'dfclarps that
the company has been violating its con
tract for years; that parties Interested in
the contract protested against a river
dump and then employed Such a means of
disposing of the waste matter, and. finally,'
that the threat of injunctions if the city
trlc-a to establish its own damping ground
are poorly founded.
Mr. Rojewater says he Is satisfied mu
nicipal opesntlon yields far better results.
No figures are at hand showing the cost
per capita In Omaha and It can be gauged
only, by the Individual bills of residents
and property owners.
From twenty-five to thirty-five loads of
stable manure are thrown in the river
every day, according to the engineer, which
should be collected and sold to farmers or
the highest bidder, as It Is valuable for
fertilising on farms In the vicinity. The
total amount of kitchen refuse, nlghtsnll
and Indiscriminate waste hauled each day
Is estimated between thlrty-flve and fifty
loads, the greater portion being deposited
In the river at the Jones street 'or City
Oarbage company's dump.
Genesis of the Contract.
Speaking of the notorious ten-year con
tract with this company, wlilch expired
December 81, the engineer says:
This contract wns for ten years and wns
procured without competition, snd brought
about by a clamor that the dumping of
city trash at the font of Jones street was
an unbearable nuisance. The contract
expressly provides that all garbage and
other trashes were to be hauled a distance
of not less than two and one-half miles
from the city limits, and If not further
than three mlK-s from the city limits, to be
dumped at such place or places as may be
designated bv the Board of Health. It Is
needless to state that the spirit of this
contract waa never carried out. and that
shortly after going Into effect the dump
was resumed at where some of the former
parties to this contract objected to its
delivery under lniunctlon threats.
The parties to this contract now Intimate
that If the city locates a dump at a point
below the Union Pacific bridge near
Poppleton avenue, where the Irash of
much more offensive matter from the
d;stlllery Is 1elng discharged, the courts
will he Invoked for iniunctlon to prevent
It. This feature of possibilities has actually
been presented to your honorable body to
Insure an extension of the present con
tract under which dumping Is going on
much nearer the heart of the city without
molestation..
Cost of Pnblle Ownership.
A careful perusal of official reports as to
cost under public ownership to collect Md
Incinerate garbage shows it to range frou.
lb to 34i cents per capita per year. This
compared to the tux on citizens by garbuge
Collectors will be quite a surprise and
still even under propor contract systems
many of the largo cities expend even less
than this amount, but I am satisfied the
service is not as efficient.
The following table shows the cost per
capita per annum for collecting and de
stroying garbage under contract and mu
nicipal systems.

The meeting was short and the vote unani
mous, but a large amount of discussion had
preceded It.
Mr. Wyman had hot been a candidate

self, In ordet to familiarize Mr. Wyman

Insurance business and asked to Se re

A supposed rase of smallpox caused con

Thomas Woodford, the colored porter on
tourist car from I1O8 Angeles hound for
Minneapolis, waa taken sick about, the time
of his departure from the former city. A
few hours later his skin became covered
with erHiptlona resembling smallpox. When
the train arrived In this city a physician
was called, who made an examination and
unhesitatingly pronounced the case small

As the tourist car waa to go north via

NEW RATE BY ROCK ISLAND
Proportional Grain Tariff from Omaha
to All Its Points in State of
Minnesota.
A new grain tariff quoting proportional
rates from Omaha to all points In Minne
sota on the Minneapolis & St. Louis rail
way of 9 cents on wheat and 8 cents on
corn has been Issued by the Rock Island.
The tariff also Includes all grain products
at the same raj.es. The only stipulation 1
that the grain shall originate west of the
Missouri river.
It Is said that this Is a very valuable con
cession on the part of the Rock Island, as
the Minneapolis & St. Louis has a number
o stations where large numbers of cattle
are fed, and these rates will permit of the
shipment of feed for that purpose. The
rates already In effect which are the same
as those quoted above apply only to Minne
apolis and ft. Paul, and are not effective
to Intermediate points. The tariff Is made
effective January 11 ,

MORE WOES THAN THE CZAR
John Kastnrkedlch of Russia is In a
Peek of Trouble All Over a Post,
office Money Order.
The cr.ar of Russia may think be 'has
troubles on his hands In this little fly-up
with Japan, but the czar has a subject, here
in Omaha who is up against a proposition
Which, tn his estimation, makes the troubles
of the czar look like the traditional thirty
cents.
John Kasturkedlch is this Russian Job.
He recently inscribed his euphonious name
on the back of a poetofllce money order
for the amount of $10, drawn for one E.
Humelsteln. He did this at the request
of Mrs. Humelsteln and now Mr. Kas
turkedlch is 'In a peck of woe.
"Vot am 1 to do," be murmured to
himself, aa he emerged from the police
court, where he and Judge Berka had
just held a little interview. "I am to lose
my monies, no yesT I hafe been one easy
ttiarksl," continued the downcast man, aa
he trudged on through the corridors, of
the building.
Second only to the problem which con
fronts Kasturkedlch Is that which bobs up
from this labyrinth of woe In front of the
police authorities and lawyers Interested
In, the case. The police have the order on
which the money was drawn from the
bank, and now Humelsteln declares he will
recover that order and get the money him
self from the postofflce, and how to atop
him the police officials do netJiBow, or to
bring about an amicable settlement of the
affair.
Ko Remedy In Bight.
Assistant Prosecutor Weaver says noth
Ing can be dune and City Prosecutor Lee
cannot well take a hand because the case
doea not come within the pale of the las.
which governs his actions In court. With
out a complaint Judge -Berka has no Juris
diction and tbe case evidently will have to
go by default.
Last July Mr. Humelsteln got the postal
order at the local office. Last Saturday
Mra. Humelsteln, with the help of Kastur
kedlch, got it cashed at the Omaha Na
)lonal bank. Last Monday the order was
presented at the postofflce for payment and
retdrned to the bank marked with a red
lead pencil "No good," and last Monday
afternoon Kasturkedlch, who has money
in the bank, reimbursed that Institution.
Thus It is that the Humelsteln family Is
in 1100 and Kasturkedlch is out 1100. Kas
turkedlch cannot conscientiously prosecute
himself, Mrs. Humelsteln will not give up
the money she holds, and Mr. Humelsteln
only wants his" order back to complete his
happiness, therefore Kasturkedlch con
cludes he Is holding the sack.

Beauty is Within Your Reach
a a .a m
BEAUTY depends so much
upon what you do that it is
practically within reach of every ,
woman. 111 uci cuny cat sciics
of papers, "The Fountain of
Youth," Doctor Grace Peckham
Murray shows plainly how beauty
is the result of a woman's care
of herself. She tells you just
what is to be done to the hair,
teeth, eyes, complexion and hands
to make even a plain woman at
tractive. All of her suggestions
are healthful and sensible. They
not only make a woman look bet
ter, but they make her feel better.
They show that health and at
tractiveness go together. They
analyze a woman s charm and
tell her how to obtain it. No
such remarkable Series of papers
has ever been published. No
woman can afford to ignore
therm Every woman who wants
to be attractive should get The

FLUSH WITH TEN-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES
In . Default of Bond Is Brought
to Omaha and Confined In
Douglas County
Jail.
Enos Perkins, a farmer of the vicinity
of Cambridge, Neb., is an occupant of the
Douglas county jail, pursuant to the in
structions of United States Commissioner
K. W. Bcghtol at Holdrege, In default of
12,000 ball, because of his Inability to satis
factorily explain how he happened to be
tn possession Of certain J10 gold pieces in
Imitation of the coin of the realm.
The charge is making, forging and coun
terfeiting certain United States coins and
moneys, and that he "did have the same

about January 1, 1904, fitter and pass the
same, knowing thorn to be false and forged
and counterfeit, In the city and. town ut
Cambridge. Nebraska and elsewhere."
Deputy United States Marshul Walling
brought the accused to thla city Tuesday
night from Cambridge,
Perkins is said to have borne an excellent
reputation In his vicinity, his home being
about twenty miles' north of Cambridge,
where he filed and proved up on a home
stead about twenty years ago. Some years
ago he disposed of. the homestead and dis
appeared frcm the vicinity and all knowl
edge of him was lost until his reappearance
there recently, when he seemed very
"flush" with money and bought back his
old homestead, where he has since resided.
The story goes (hat he has disappeared
from the vicinity at Intervals ar.d re
mained absent for some little time, and
accounted for It In the fact that he was
looking after some farming Interests he
had near Sabetha, Kan. - ,
Origin of gnspleiun.
Coincident with his reappearance near
Cambridge, a greater or less quantity of
bogus gold $10 pieces were found to beln

seemed to be an industrious and - fairly
prosperous farmer. However, there waa

charges had been met. This circumstance
caused a little suspicion to be directed to
ward Perkins and later Investigations by
detectives and secret service agents of the
government resulted In. the arrest of Per
kins. The case was worked up by Captain
Mark J. Thomas of the United States
secret service of Kansas City, who Is now
In the city, nnd yesterday secured an
order from tbe United States circuit court
transferring the case to the Kansas City
district.
The couhterfelt coins were passed mostly

Sabetha to Hiawatha. Nine of the ten

Perkins were recovered by Captain Thomas
and were practically traced to him. Cap

but one of a gang of counterfeiters, or at
least the distributing agent for them. His
business as a farmer and horse . trader
along the Kansas and Nebraska line Is
thought to have afforded a good oppor
tunity for passing the spurious coins, which
It Is thought were manufactured some
where in the vicinity of Cambridge, Neb.
Perkins denies emphatically that he Is
guilty of the charge, but the evidence
against him Is damaging.

i Nature could cot give a nfore forceful warning than the continual pain which is attendant on menstrual disorders. As if to
arouse the sufferer to the danger of her condition the pain Is renewed with increased violence at each menstrual period. This
warning cannot be mistaken although in hundreds of thousands of cases it is' disregarded wijh fatal resefcs.
. Miss Palmer could have avoided her trouble if she had taken Wine of Cardui when the first warning was given two years ago. '
And you may get relief if you take Wine of Cardui like she did. It is your privilege to secure the same relief that so many thou
sands of women are securing from Wine of Cardui today. Wine of Cardui is a positive cure for distressing menstrual troubles.
Why go on allowing your life to be harrassed with these terrible pains aod inflammations when you know that they wtt never wear
off? They can only be banished by removing the irritating cause. If not relieved they develop into bearing down pains, ovariaa
pains, nervousness, blood poisoning or the deadly tumor. Can yon read Miss Palmer's letter without loogiag for relief?
