Councilman Pete Schroedrr of the Eighth ward Is trying to devise a system whereby each councilman can be boss over the side walks In his own bailiwick. He stays great Injustice has been done In many cases by careless ordering of permanent walks. Mr. Schroeder thinks the work of the Inspec tors In the engineer's office has been In sufficient and Is anxious to arrange matters so that all walks proposed shall be con sidered carefully by the councilman In whose ward they are to go, and held up by him If In his Judgment the walk Is going to do more harm than good. In view of the fact that each councilman Is now drawing $1,500 a year pay, he thinks they can well afford to carry out this duty. "All I want Is three hours a day for my own business," says Schroeder. "I nm will ing to give the remainder to the city and the people In and- out of my ward. This sidewalk business has not been handled right In the past, nnd I am anxious to get it on ft proper busis. I can't see any sense In tearing up a fairly good walk nnd letting others that are worse than no walk at all remain down Indefinitely. I think the councllmen can make personal examina tions of such things better than any other class of officials." A SKTft OH BEAUTY IS n JOY POBBVEH.. K. T.

MAIL THIS TODAY-NOT TOMORROW WASHINGTON, April 10. The comp troller of the treasury has rendered a de clsion In wh.ch he criticises the proposed action of the secretary of the Interior In accepting rebates from Ihe Southern Fa clflc railroad on freight to contractors en gaged in work in the west under the ir rigation and reclamation act. In a com munication to the comptroller on March 20 last, the secretary of the Interior says On October 13, 19u4, the department ap proved a contract with the Southern Pa cine company providing for certain con cessions to contractors under the reclama tion act in the trelght rates on their plant snd materials shinned to and from the work on the projects. Other contracts of similar character since have been nego tiated with the principal roads. These con cessions In rates are brought to the atten tion oi an runners on tne worn or tne re clamation service In order that thev mtv make due allowance fur such concessions in tneir bids. The attention has been called to the re quest of Hherrer 6c Co., contractors on the anil river, who desire to be advised whether they can obtain the benefits of concessions on some shipments soon to be made by them. These contractors made their bids before any concessions had been arranged with the Southern Paclllu company, so that their bills do not provide for any benefit to the United Slates, mid accordingly, this office has decided that the contractor is not entitled to such benefits. The communication gees on to state that the railroad company, however, Is willing to make the concession to help along the work on the project as much as possible, In case the benefits, of the concession of rates on these shipments may be taken by the government and credited to the pro Ject. The controller, In the course of his reply, says: it i may be permitted to express an opinion as to the legality of such trans actions when considered In relation to sec tions it and 22 of the Interstate commerce acts of February 4. 1887 and 1889. 1 would say that it Is extremely doubtful If either tan oe muiniainea. ay authority tne gov ernment can contract with a railroad that a contractor's plant shall receive a rebate in freights not applicable to other shlu- pers is beyond my comprehension. If this ngni exists, it might as well extend to flour, hay and other commodities and the vehicles used by a contractor in making delivery to the government. But granting ut--n ngni exiHis. wnen covered by con tract, and such rebate Is taken into con sideration when the contract is made, by what stretch of authority can the govern ment step in, where the contract between It and the contractor has been entered into ana tne amount to be paid for the work and the materials, is fixed and liquidated and receive or. take from the price because or a railroad rebate, Is be yond my comprehension. The Koveriiinent. alinvn all others, should not be a party to a violation of either the spirit or tne interstate commerce act as regards the question of rebates. It should not engage In questionable transactions In order that a savins of a few rlnllnru mnv be had, especially when this saving results in me tearing aown or a law wmcn experi ence Droves is verv difficult. If not Imnnn. slble, to enforce. The Interior department replied to this letter insisting on the legality of its pro posed action and stating that the rebates in question probably would amount to $1,000,000 in the next seven years. In tho course of his response to this letter the comptroller says that the amount of these rebates being large Is a cogent renson why the government should make no mistake by being a party or a beneficiary of the violation of the law prohibiting the giving of discriminating rebates. Allottee Indiana Are t'ltlsena. The supreme court of the United States In an opinion by Justice Brewer granted the petition of Albert Heff of Kansas for a writ of habeas corpus. Heff was prosecuted and convicted in the district court' of Kan sas for selling beer at the town of Horton to a Kickapoo Indian named John Butler, to whom land had been granted In severalty. The prosecution was based upon the theory that Butler was still a ward of the nation, the law prohibiting the sale of liquors to Indians. The case was brought to the supreme court In an original action, on the ground that In becoming an allottee the Indian became a citizen of the United States. The view was sustained by today's1 opinion, which concluded as follows: We are of the opinion that when the I nlted States grants the privileges of citi zenship to an Indian, gives to him the benefit of and requires him to be subject to the laws, both, civil and criminal of the state. It places him outside the reach of police regulations on the part of the con gress; that the emancipation from federal control thus created cannot be set aside at the Instance of the government without the consont of the Individual Indian, and the state, and that this emancipation from federal control Is not affected by the fact that the lands It has granted to the Indian are granted subject to a condition against alienation and Incumbrance, or the further fact that It guarantees to him an interest In tribal or other property. The district court of Kansas did not have Jurisdiction of the offense charged and therefore the petitioner Is entitled to his discharge from imprisonment. Pension Reviewers I'nder Fire. Commissioner of Pensions Warner has cited ten members of the Board of Pen sions Review to show causa why their service should not be dispensed with. This action was taken by the commissioner because of the discovery of serious delin quencies In the allowance of pensions to members of a Pennsylvania regiment or ganized In 1861, bat never participating in the service. Applications from members of Mercer's brigade. New Jersey National Guard, In which the surfie circumstances control, also hare been allowed. Commis sioner Warner said today that he was de termined that such practices should be stopped in his term of office. WHAT IS THERE IN IT?

There Is no happier man in this whole wide world today than Sam A. Hoover of Greensboro, N. C, who is receiving tho congratulations of his friends upon his fortunate And of something better than gold mines or oil wells. Mr. Hoover in a letter to a friend in Omaha writes; "Three months ago I was greatly dis tressed by nasal catarrh and entire deaf ness In the right ear. The labor of hawk ing and scraping to get my throat and nasal passages free from Hie foul secre tions deposited there, might be about equal to that, of a six mule team with a toad scraper to get the earth from the road side to the center. "I purchased an outfit of Hyomet and Hyomel balm, and aa a result of Its use my head, throat and nasal passages are all free (rom secretions of any sort, only as Nature designed, and my hearing in both ears is nearly as acute aa it ever was." There Is no dinagreuable stomach dosing In using Hyomel; Just breathe it and Its pure fragrance will kill the catarrhal germs in tfya head, throat and lungs. Hyomel palm used la connection with Hyomel, will cure the worst case of catarrhal deafness. ' The complete outfit costs but fl, and extra bottles are' only 60 rents. Ask Sher man & McConnell, Sixteenth and Dodge streets, to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomel. It costs nothing unless It cures. LAMONI, la., April 10. (Speoial Tele gram.) Rainy weather greeted the dele gates today when the fifth business session of the Latter Day Saints' conference at this place was called to order by Frederick M. Smith. The opening prayer was of fered by High Priest Charles E. B. Butter worth, who was for several years pastor to the Omaha branch of the church. After the reading of the minutes, the secretary called the roll of ex-officers, members of the conference, which roll re vealed that there are present of the lirst presidency three, apostles ten, presidents of seventies seventy-two, presiding bishop ric three, high council ten, evangelical ministers eight, high priests forty-seven, elders 100. The report of the Board of Trustees of Graceland college Indicates that the terms of office of Daniel Anderson and J. A. Gunsolley expire with the present confer ence. It also reported on the work done, that four departments had been kept up with enrollments for the three terms as follows: Liberal arts, twenty-two; normal and preparatory, sixty; commercial, fifty- three; music, 112. A report which caused much uplrlted dis cussion was that of the committee ap pointed last April to carry out the in structions of the conference relative to the closing of the college. This report was in two sections. One from, the majority, who hud kept the college open In spite of the resolution, and the other from the minority, who believed in the college, but not in the ignoring of conference laws. The sense of the conference of 1904 was to close the college until the debt was lifted. The Board of Trustees, In council with the bishopric, decided last May upon a plan by which the debt could be cancelled in a few months, and they kept the 'college open. The opinion of a few officials and delegates Is that technically the college should have been closed until a conference voted to reopen It, even though the real sense and will of the board was otherwise. The debt has been almost entirely ob literated during the last year. By motion, at a late hour, further con sideration of this subject was deferred until tomorrow's session. THURSTON RIFLES SHOW WELL Inspection of Company I, First Ke braaka. Passes Off Creditably. "The company shows up excellently," said Major Oliver G.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. Pietro Tor torlco, the alleged murderer of Vllardo, has not yet been captured, but the police are hot upon his trail. The Examiner says today that two Italians have been located In Eureka, Cal., one of whom Is believed to be the fugitive Tortorlco, and the de tectives will, It Is said, start for that city at once to apprehend the men. Rosa Tortorlco, wife of the alleged mur derer, has practically confessed that her husband committed the crime and some of her admissions are so damaging that they, coupled with other evidence, may result In a charge of murder bcllng lodged against her. She says that on the night of the murder she wss in an adjoining room when the two men began quarrelling over some mat ter of which she was ignorant. She says that she then went out and is unaware of what happened thereafter, although cir cumstances led her to believe that her hus band killed Vllardo. Direct evidence has been given to the po lice that Vllardo was marked for butchery by the "Black Hand." They have been told so by Benletto Fettlta, cousin of the murdered man. He says that both he and Vllardo were warned to that effect by a strange fisherman, who said to them as -they were standing on the street about two months ago: "You two men are fooLa to bother with the killing of jour comrade" (this reference was to Gulseppl Brogardo, who whs murdered in January last year). There are friends of mine who have sworn to cut off the head of one of you If you do not stop." Fettlta says he does not know the name of the fisherman who gave the warning, but says that he has seen him and con versed with him since. On the other hand, Chief of Police Dlnan asserts that he does not believe the murder was committed by an organised gang of assassins, lit favors Itoali for Doay Tags.
