THREE DAYS OF ZERO WEATHER IN OMAHA
Additional Coat to the City la
Gatlmated at Tea Thousand
Dollars for Each
i Day.
Three days of weather below the sero
iark which this city felt the first of the
week means an extra coat of something
like $30,000, or $10,000 a day to the people
of Omaha, calculating on a conservative
buals. The colder It gets the more la
spent, and for such weather as was en
dured the first of this week the Increase
could not have been less than $10,000 a
day and probably went over that sum.
While accurate statistics are not at hand
and cannot be obtained, some Idea of the
expenditure may be gained by mentioning
a few of the reasons why people have to
spend more money in extremely cold
weather than they are wont to do.
Bay, for Instance, that Omaha rids Itaelf
Of $125,000 daily for the ordinary expenses
Of living, and It will be conceded that this
sum Is not too large, considering the popu
lation and the well-to-do character of a
large percentage of the people. Unlike
greater cities, the poor and . destitute are
not so numerous proportionately.
Coat of Winter Living.
The .cost oj living In the winter' In
Omaha is adjusted for a climate ranging
from 10 degrees to 85 degrees above the
sero mark. t the mercury fall pre
elpttately and there Is & commensurate
UffMI of t-sh for various things that
mmt be had to counteract the effects of
the frigidity. Added to this there is the
lues entailed upon laborers, builders and
eraftamen of various kinds who cannot
work at all anJ lose their wages In very
eold temperatures.
The largest Hems perhaps are fuel and
food. Every one knows that people eat

more in cold weather than when it Is warm.
They need it, and the colder it gets the
more keen grows the appetite. Meats are
high and It is meat that Is demanded.
Many kinds of edibles go up as the mer
cury goes down, and people who can afford
them buy them, even though they cost
more. Under the head of food may be
classified, although Improperly of course,
drinks and beverages. Thousands con
sume double and triple their dally potions
of whisky and other liquors under the mis
conception that the alcohol keeps them
warm.
Msch More Fuel Deed. t
Between one-fourth and one-half again
as much fuel Is consumed when the ther
mometer registers a few degrees under the
reckoning point This is a lower estimate
than even the coal men give, but the in
crease varies. In small houses and cot
tages the percentage Is greater than In
flats, apartment houses and office buildings,
heated by the more economical furnace
and steam appliances. Individual houses
may double the usual amount of coal,
while the supply at the schools is used up
twice as fast.
Extra clothing, caps, gloves, mittens,
mufflers and the like, aggregate a large
Item in the increased expense. Impe
cunious persons who try to get along
through the winter In their summer under
clothing find themselves suddenly obliged
to buy thicker garments or run the risk
of pneumonia and grip. Overshoes and
rubbers come high and are demanded by
the acute atmosphere and. the generally
slippery condition of the walks prevailing.
H4 for Eleelrlo Cars.
Transportation charges are run. up be
cause of the difficulty of propelling electric
cars up Icy tracks, but there is some com.
pensatlon in this line, because every one
who has to travel about the city rides on a
cold day if he has a nickel In his pocket.
Those athletically Inclined, who walk to
and from their work, are farced to re
linquish the exercise or run the risk of
getting their noses and ears frostbitten.
Doctors' bills count heavily. The sud
denness with which a cold wave swoops

by a cold. Then there are the accidents
due to slippery walks. And they cost.
Water and steam pipes freese and plumb
ers are expensive. During a cold snap In
Omaha there are never enough of them to
handle the work and the Item of repairs
for breakage and damage cannot fall to
be a large one every cold snap. Food
freezes on the pantry shelves, apples and
other fruits are bitten in the cellars and
actual loss from these sources amounts
to a great deal.
Merchants note the absence of country
costumers and local patrons as well. Per
sons who would buy stuy at home and
forget about the purchases they would
have made If the cold weather had not
deterred them. The very chill of the air
makes one careful of his money and
spenders retrench because of a nameless
fear that perhaps if they do not a warm
domicile may not bo procurable for them.
Theaters suffer and managers groan, but
the cabman chuckles, for his vehicle is in
demand.
Hits tbo Railroads.
Railroads are put to heavy additional ex
pense by the cold weather. Great additions
in fuel are needed, locomotives "freeze up"
and refuse to steam. Trains are de
layed and steam and other pipes are burst
under the cars. Perishable goods ' are
ruined enroute and the claim department
must foot the bills.
Altogether It is easy to see that a
cold snap Is not the most desirable thing
in the world, it is a procession of extra
cost all around. It may be argued that
the expense is equalized, wero it not for the
fact that the masses simply have to spend
without compensation of any kind, and
sometimes out of work as well.
WAKEFIELD GOES TO OREGON
Former Omahna Accepts Position with

John A. Wakefield, a former resident

ASK PROTECTION FROM RIVER
North and Eait Omata CTlirtni Appsal to
County Commiisionera.
WANT MISSOURI CURBED IN ITS -RAGE
Board Fixes Monday as Time of Hear
ing; Statements of Property Own
ers Whoso Lnds Are
Endangered.
The county commissioners yesterday
received communications from East and
North Omaha citizens asking for protection
from the ravages of the Missouri river.
The two petitions are Quite generally
signed, one of them having over 100 names.
It is alleged that the river Is now near the
danger point and that with the advent of
the spring freshets much damage to prop-
; erty will enBue. It is alleged that the river
Is gradually cutting a new current into
Florenco lake and otherwise doing consid
erable damage. The board was asked to
name a day when it would hear a commit
tee of citizens representing the affected
district. The commissioners named Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock for this hearing.
The first hitch over the survey of the
Elkliorn valley was noted. The initial pay
ment for the work already done was slated
for payment oat of the general fund. When
the appropriation sheet was read Commis
sioner Connolly objected to the payment
from out that fund on the ground that It
was already too nearly depleted.
Commissioner Hofeldt concurred tn this
view. Mr. Connolly thought the work
should be paid for out of the road fund.
At this Mr. Hofeldt wanted time for In
vestigation, as he is chairman of the road
committee. An Investigation disclosed the
fact that the road fund was better able to
stand a drain than the general fund, so
the board ordered that the payment ba
made from that fund.
Bonds Aro Approved.
The board approved bonds of various
county officers and also the local business
concerns .which have secured the contract
for furnishing supplies to the county dur
ing the ensuing year.
Assessor Harry D. Reed named U. B.
Balcombe, W. A. Bharrar and Margaret
B. Colvin as assistant in his office.
County Attorney Knglish, responding' to
the requeit of the board, submitted an
opinion relative to a proposition which had
tteen made to the board by Iee Helsley
and Elmer Starr looking to the discovery
of unpaid and delinquent taxable property.
It was the proposition of Helsley and Starr
to ferret out bidden taxes and collect the
same on, a commission basis. In bis opinion
County Attorney English says this work
will rightfully devolve upon Assessor Reed,
under the "scavenger" ' act. and that it
would be unnecessary to accept the proposi
tion made by Mesars. Helsley and Starr for
that reason.
A. . Slvert wvs named as road over

County Attorney English also submitted
an opinion relative to whether E. D. Tan
Court should bo paid at thle time or not
for doing- Borne repair work on the Center
street road last fall. It was the opinion
of the county surveyor that the work had
not bean done strictly acoordlng to con

it seemed that Mr. Van Court must wait
until spring to get his money.
Van Court has said all the time that
the work was done In a first-class manner
and that he should be paid. Mr. English
says it Is not a matter which needs an
opinion from him, but that the county com
missioners should be guided by the views
of the county surveyor.
GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW
Post'IIollday Clearing- gales of Fish
Are All the llnne at
, Present.
It's to the bargain counters with the fish.
Post-holiday clearing sales are the regular
thing In the fish market as elsewhere and
some beautiful bargains are being caught
every day by the buyers for the retailers.
Everything must be closed out before the
Lenten season. Trading stamps are not
used, but scales go wJth every fish, so that
the purchaser can tell exactly how heavy
It is. The reason for this reduction Is that
the fish now sold are frozen that is, they
are enticed up through a neat hole In the
Ice of the Great Lakes, and, being already
soaked with ley water, soon freeze. This
Is cheaper for the manufacturer than frees,
lng with artificial Ice in the fall fishing
season. So these figure that the public is
saved Just one-half cent a pound, and
grant it. ,
A car or two of Canadian fish from Mani
toba have been received this week, and as
they were bringing a little ice only with
them the customs officers here released
them 'from bond. The pickerel is quoted on
the price lists of the jobbers as "fine and
winter dressed." This will appeal to all
tender-hearted persons to know that the
pickerel comes properly dressed for this
severe weather and not perhaps chilled
through as live stock Is. Pike also is dressed
and extra choice at & cents wholesale.
The pickerel Is only 6 cents. Whlteflah are
somewhat ' lavishly described by the en
thuslastlo Importers as "beauties, every fish
perfect." A fish beauty la perhaps more
pleasing In profile, or the egg sauce, than
otherwise, but the 8',i cents ought to bring
a few Impecunious foreigners Into line.
Trout, headless, but dressed, surprising
combination, but perhaps caught after the
champagne, wholesales for I cents. Dapper
little tailor-made trout with heads on bring
a cent more. Frogs' legs are what really
get near the trousers pockets of the rich,
however, for they are Just, now the top
notchers In salary, a dozen costing the re
taller 60 cents. They are likely to hop up In
the market toon.

the City.
Tho dull monotony of police court
proceedings vas broken yesterday by
a marriage ceiemony which was the
culmination of a romance, in which Ida M.
Nielsen-Jackson was the heroine and
Nathan James Betts, both young people of
Omaha, the hero. Betts Is the young man
who threw himself In the breach laet
Wednesday night and prevented the arrest
of Miss Jackson's slater Bessie as she was
taken by the police from Crelghton danoo
halL He saved the girl, but landed behind
the bars himself.
Judge Berka performed the ceremony
and Prosecutor Lee and Chief of Detectives
Dunn signed the marriage certificate and
with some other, who were in court at the
time witnessed the marriage.
. Antedating the dance hall episode
another more Interesting story underlies
this union of a falr-halred maiden of 18
and a youth of 10, who made the special
request that Judge Berka pronounce the
words to make them man and wife.
Ida and Bessie Jackson, ' after their
father, who was a harness maker, left
them to shift for themselves and went to
St. Joseph with the second Mrs. Jackson,
lived happily together at 1750 Dodge street
for a long time. Captain Haze was forced
by law to break up the little home last
August and tells this story.
Some Jealousy Arises.
"These two girls were living together
and for all I know leading moral lives and
doing well. They worked at a laundry.
But I believe the stepmother must have
become Jealous of them, or perhspa It
was the grandmother, who lives here. At
all events we were ordered to break up the
little home; to send Bessie, sged 15, to her
father at St. Joseph snd to let Ida shift
for herself. We could do nothing but
comply with the strict mandate of the
father, who was backed by the law, but I
regretted at the time that It was necessary
Well, Bessie wss sent home. She was
there only a short while and was turned
out to do for herself and to make her way
back to Omaha as best she could. Since
then things have not been going just right
with the girls. Bessie wss recently
arrested on a charge of grand larceny,
was convicted this morning and will be
sent to the Good Shepherd school. The
things she took from a Miss Ada Rogers,
a roomer at the Avery rooming house, C07
North Eventeenth street, three days ago,
have been recovered and returned to their
owner.
'WeH, ttftuso young- people who wars

WANTS MORE CLERICAL HELP,
Army Official Complains that Force Is
Not Sufllcient to Perform
Work.
"The enlargement of the department and
the taking away of three of our force of
clerks to the military division headquarters
at St. Louis has placed a big burden upon
the headquarters establishment here," said
an official at Department of the Missouri
headquarters yesterday. "We are a
pretty busy people, and it keeps us on tha
alert all the while to keep abreast with the
demands upon us. There are fourteen great
military establishments In the department,
and these are garrisoned by approximately
' 10,000 men. Including all branches of the
' service and civilian employes. All of the
I detail work of supplying these eetablinh
j ments and organizations with food, forage
I and equipments of all kinds, fuel, etc., de
f volves upon the executive offices right here
In Omaha, and means an Immense amount
of business. This all must be transacted
by a force of lexs than two dozen cled
and twelve or fifteen officers. The sltua '
tion Is simply that we must have add!
tlonal clerical help in order to get through
the work In due time, and you know that
In military matters things have to be done
at times In a tremendous hurry."

Barbarous Surgical Operation
For (be Cure of Piles.
Is not on)y extremely painful, dangerous
to life and very expensive, but In the light
of modern medical research, and since the
discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, wholly
unnacetiaary. If you have any doubt on
this point klndl read the following letter
from one who knows that the claims re
garding the merits of the Pyramid Pile
Cure are botns out by facta:
"For a long time I suffered with blind
piles. They gave me so much pal nand un
easiness that they almost disqualified ms
for doing- anything. I saw an ad In the
Atlanta Journal of Pyramid Pile Cure and
ordered a 60-cent box. I used them arid
they gave me relief; that encouraged me
and I bought another 60-cent box, and they
cured ma. Oh, how glad that I am we'J
again.!"
"Tha Pyramids cured me and I am satis
fled they will cure anybody else who Is
suffering- as X was. It they wfil nse them.'
"Tea ns une this m any way yoa see
propes. If my exnertanca wOl encourage
any sufferer to use aiir Pyramids I shall
be glad." IX K. HICK. Calhoun, Oa.
