Representative N. P. Dodge, Jr., Is advo
cating the e RtubllBhment ot municipal baths
along the river and will urge the matter
before the city council. He thinks public
baths are much needed In the city during
the summer and that they should be built
and maintained by the municipal govern
ment, as in many o'her cltleo the else of
Omaha and larger all over the world, lie
probably rend a letter to the council
setting forth his Idea next week. Mr.
Pod Re. says:
"As the time approaches for the hot
weather It occurs to me that during all
the discussion ot municipal reform, munici
pal cleanliness and public playgrounds,
that the clubs for clvlo Improvements have
not thought enough of keeping In touch
alth tho larger cities ot the east and
rlties of all sizes In Europe In maintaining
public baths. In somo cases, as In Lon
don and continental cities, a very small
fee is charged, for the baths are main
tained winter and summer. But In all
cities on tidewater or rivers the municipal
ity maintains free baths In the form of

" My scalp was covered with little
pimples and I suffered tortures from
the itching. I was scratching all day
and sight, and I could get nu rest. I
washed my head with hot water and
Cuticura Soap and then applied the
Cuticura Ointment as a dressing. One
bog of the ointment and one cake of
Cuticura Soap cured me. Now my
bead is entirely clear and my hair it
growing splendidly. I have used Cu

floating barges with sunken bottoms, and
around the edges dressing rooms.
"Through the sunken part of the barge
the current has free Ingress and egress, so
that the water la constantly changing, and
during every hat day and night In the
large cities you will see the boys and men
lined up waiting their turn for a cold
plunge. The boys are allowed to use the
place as much as they please within rea
sonable bounds, and It Is a great pleasure
and benefit to the workingmen to end the
day's labor by a bath at the public bath
house In the river or bay, as the case
may be. Similar boats are built and main
tained for the girls and women throughout
the season.
Cost Very Small.
"Such a boat is of very small cost and
certainly the Missouri river la a very ad
vantageous place for Omaha to maintain a
publlo floating hath house. There Is scarcely
anything that cocld bring so much pleasure
and help to n c! iss of people who have no
vacation and few luxuries. The park board
spends a large sum of money In making at
tractive parks and drives and other depart
ments of the municipal government spend
large sums of money making the city at
tractive for the home owners and all classes
of people who have means of enjoying the
boulevards, but there Is nothing that would
bring so much dally pleasure and health to
the lives of the very poor as a public bath
ing boat anchored to the west bank ot the
Missouri river at the foot of Pouglas
street.
"There probably are many boats or barges
on the Missouri river that could be bought
at a low price and fixed up for the pur
pose, or even a new one would probably
not cost any more than the expense of
laying out a golf course In Miller park. It
as much. Ot course conveniences should be
provided for women and girls as well as
men and boys.

SMALL BUTCHER HAS A WORD
Independent Dealer Makes Suggestion as
to Line of Inquiry.
BEEF TRUST HEARING TAKES RECESS
More Witnesses Sent for and Grand
Jury Adjourns until Mon
day, When These Men
Will Arrive.
Tending the arrival of additional wit
nesses who have been subpoenaed, the fed
eral grand Jury conducting the Beef trust
Inquiry at noon Friday adjourned until 2
p. m. Monday.
The witnesses examined Friday morning
were: M. A. Frlce, a traveling man for
the Swift Packing company; Alma Jackson,
live stock commission man of South Omaha;
J. W. Lattln, Frank Iillss, R. Ullchrest and
Fred Patterson, South Omaha commission
men; John Powers and V. H. Powers,
farmers and stockmen from Humboldt,
Neb.
Twenty-two witnesses have been exam
ined thus far, and practically all phases
of the question of combination between
the packers and commission men gone over.
The total number of witnesses thus far
subpoenaed is seventy-six, and subpoenas
were Issued for fifty udilttlonal witnesses.
These fifty witnesses will be largely
butchers and Independent meat men out In
the state, with special reference to those
located in the southeastern part of the
state and near to the great packing cen
ters and dependent upon the packers for
their supplies of dressed Vieat.
One of the witnesses stated:
"There is one phase of the question that
should be looked i.ilo by the Jury and that
Is the practice ot representatives ot the
packers selling direct to large consumers,
such as the hotels, In localities where the
butchers dare undertake to conduct an in
dependent business. Then, again, they will
manage to Induce large general stores
to establish a n.eat market In their
concerns and undersell the Independent
butchers and sooner or later drive the
latter out of the business. Another feature
that shouM be looked into is the building
up of great chicken purchasing houses in
the smaller towns, near the source of
supply. These chicken houses invariably
are very large establishments and they
employ agents with wagons to scour the
country and tuy up all available poultry,
dresa it at their establishments and put
It in cold storage for shipment to the big
centers. This dressed poultry Is sold to
the meat dealers on commission and la
practically destroying the domestio trad lu
poultry. I have known instances
in my own vicinity where farmers'
wives have brought the nicest kind - tf
dressed poultry to the stores to Bell,
but could not do so from the fact that
the dealers wero stocked up with the
packing house products, which If unsold
and kept until It became a little rank,
could be returned to the packing houses,
reprocessed and disposed . of elsewhere.
These traveling agents can, of course, get
the poultry cheaper of the farmers than
the Independent dealers can, because they
buy it at live weight at the farm doors,
thus avoiding the trouble and work of
dressing the poultry or bringing it several
miles to market."
Judge Baxter said he thought It more
than likely that the Beef trust Inquiries
would extend all through next week and
possibly longer. He will urge that the Jury
continue In session the entire week and not
take a recess a week from Saturday.

Trial Cannot Begin Intll After Beef
Trust Hearing;.
. It now begins to look as If the trial of
the criminal docket of the United States
district court will not begin until about
2Say 25, as it is probable the Beef trust in
quiries before the grand Jury will continue
until that time. Certainly nothing can be
done with the criminal docket untlf Judge
Baxter can be relieved of his duties with
the grand Jury.

Hotel Clerk Responds to Request
Supported by Two Large
ristola.
George F. McCreary, night clerk at the
Thurston hotel, can now tell exactly how a
man feels when two revolvers are pointed
at him and two determined-looking men
have hold of them. At i o'clock Friday
morning two men applied for a room and
after registering their names as H. F. Mal
vern end J. C. Malvern of Kansas City,
they gave the clerk a dollar and were as
signed to a room. A few minutes after tho
men had gone to the room they reappeared
In the office and demanded their money
back, saying they did not like the room.
The clerk refused, stating that the rule of
the house was not to do so after guests
had gone to the room assigned them. Tho
men continued to argue the matter, be
coming more and more determined not to
leave or take the room. Clerk McCreary,
tiring of the talk, turned away, when ho
was stopped with the demand:
"Say, young fellow; you Just hand over
that dollar or I will put a hole through
you."
Turning around Clerk McCreary faced a
big revolver and the hole In It, he snyB, be
came bigger and bigger as he looked at It.
Before he had time to answer tho demand
made on hun the other man drew his re
volver and Informed him that if one hole
was not enough there would be n second
perforation made In very short order.
"I did not wait to lip urged further," said
Mr. McCreary, "but gave them back their
money, and was mighty glad to see them
put up their cannon and leave the house. I
notified tho police and gave a description
of the men, but a search of all the hotels
failed to locate them. They evidently feared
an arrest and must have left the city."

OMAHA, May 11. To the Editor of The
Bee: I notice In your IsHue of April 9,
an article written by E. E. Blackmun of
the 8tate Historical society in which he
makes the statement that the Omaha
Indians were very poor and lived in a
very crudo manner.
I was a visitor at the Omaha village
Just fifty years ago today and desire to
come to the defense of the tribe from which
the city of Omaha gets Its nume by saying
that the Omahas would not be considered
poor by any means. They were peaceable
and the squaws raised corn und pumpkins.
The village that I visited on May 10, 1S56.
was situated at the forks of tho Papplo
five miles west of Hellevue, and tho farm
ing was done to the south and west of the
village. There were about l.OliO Omnhus
living here, and somo few at the trading
post at B'ilevue.
They were a cleanly, peaceable tribe.
The government first broke the j.niiiie and
they tilled the soil largely with the hoe.
Game was scarce. Ba.on and meal were
good food In those days. What game came
In from the hunting expeditions was a
luxury. The "caches" or cisterns, In form
of a large Jug, were built in the hills and
used as granaries. The double "caches"
one below tho other, were so pluced to
protect a reserve stock of coin from the
Sioux, who were at war with almost every
other nation. The corn was stored In bass
mado of skins and somo few were of cot
ton. Tho village was built about 1S30. and
remained hero until they went north to
Blackbird reservation, now Thurston, In the
fall of 18C5.
Logan Fontenelle, known as the white
man's friend, was chief of the Omahns
at that time, afterwards killed by Sioux
on a buffalo hunt.
Joseph La Fh'Hehe was elected chief. The
llterul of 'J.iitha means above others on a
stream, i'upulo means butterfly creek.
