AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA aving lfn Mix Up in the Matter of Public Improvement. ' aBBBBaSBBBaBB) T - HREE-C0RNERED FIGHT IS IN PROGRESS Two flrlrk Bad at Leant One Asphalt Contracture After Twenty-Fourth fttreet Itrpnirlna and Flant WarmlnsT I p. It begins to look as if there is a pavniK flslit on in South Omaha. Since the city council decided that U would be cheaper In the long run to repave Twenty-fourin street from A to N street with vltrifld brick Instead of asphalt there hun been . noticeable movement among paving con ractors. The asphalt people want to re- pave this thoroughfare with aaphaltum and the vitrified brick people are Just as anxious to sell paving brick to tha city. The result Is that a petition Is now in circulation against brick paving on Twenty fourth street. An effort has been made to keep this anti-brick paving petition quirt, but the fact that a petition was In circula tion could not be withheld long from the public. Some time ago Hugh Murphy received the contract for paving Missouri avenue, but this contract is now tied up in the courts and it Is reported that this Missouri avenue case will not come up for hearing until after a decision Is reached on the Twenty- fourth street paving. The last time the Missouri avenue paving case went over It was postponed without date. Murphy, Fanning and agents for an asphalt com pany want to bid on the Twenty-fourth street work. It was reported on the streets last evening that Fanning was willing to let Murphy go ahead with the paving of Missouri avenue providing he was given he contract for the Twenty-fourth street paving. Just where the asphalt company Is to come in Is not shown, but report has t that an asphalt company Is fighting both the Missouri avenue and the Twenty-fourth street paving propositions In hopes of get- ing a lookln somewhere. Expect Decision Today. City Attorney Lambert Bald last evening that Judge Sears will most likely hand down a decision today In the city hall bond case. This Is the second suit that has been brought in the district court to pre vent the city from issuing 170,000 In bonds for a city hall building. These bonds have practically been sold to an eastern firm for a good premium, but nothing can be done about the final sale until Judge Sears gives a decision. There was considerable talk on tha streets last night to the effect that the council would be permitted to go ahead with the sale of the bonds. This talk comes entirely from city officials and from contractors who are anxious to get In on the bidding when it comes to selling material for a bulldlna. As far aa tha location of the site Is concerned, that waa determined long ago by Mayor Koutsky. Ills site is at Twenty-fourth and O atreeta. Too Much Rain. Farmers coming Into South Omaha these days say that too much rain lias fallen. The statement la made that corn Is rotting In the fields on account of so much water and that more than likely a large propor tion of the planting In the vicinity of South Omaha will have to be done again when the ground dries out. The ground is now thoroughly soaked and what the farmers want Is warm weather without any rains to speak of for some time. The country roads ara drying up soma, -but In many places there Is plenty of mud. In the fields there Is little or no chance to work on account of tha soft condition of tha ground. Mission Services Commence Sunday. At 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning mission services will commence at St. Agnes' church, Twenty-third and Q streets. Thla mission will continue for two weeks. On account of the limited capacity of the church the mission during tha first week will bo held for women only and tha sec ond week for tha men. The services dur ing these two weeks will be conducted by the well known Jesuit missionaries. Rev. J. R. Roeswlnkel and Rev. J. J. Donoher Of Chicago. A general Invitation Is ex tended to all. Still Ilnntlns; Ordinances. City Clerk Glllln Is still chaalng around hunting up ordinances missing from tha files. Up to last night only a few unim portant ordinances had been located. Somo bad been left on file in the district court In cases pending while the city attorney had a few that he was using In drafting amendments or preparing casea. Tha big majority of these ordinances are still miss ing and the clerk has no Idea where to go to look for them. He proposes keeping up tha search and will do his best to lo cate as many of the missing documents aa possible. Business Exceedingly Dull. South Omaha business men still complain about dull times. They say tl.at there la nothing going on and that sales appear to be falling off right along. Up to this week the banks have been doing a fairly good business, but for the last few days, out side of the stock yards business there Is not much going on at the banks. ' The wet weather is blamed for a great deal of the falling off In trade, little business at the yards and packing houses Is given as another excuse and then a great many say that the strike of last summer Is an other cause. No matter what the reason is the merchants do not deny that they have very little to do these days. Magic City tioaalp. John Creasey, Thirty-third and R streets, reports the birth of a son. Floyd T.

FINCH HERE FROM THE EAST Special Examiner from Department of Justice Arrlvra from Washington. A new feature has been Injected Into the Beef trust Investigations before the federal grand Jury in the presence of Stanley B. Finch of Washington, special examiner of the Department of Justice, who arrived In the city Friday .morning and waa in close consultation with the officials of the dis trict attorney's department. The exact nature of Special Examiner Finch's visit at this time is kept a secret with the Department of Justice officials here, but It is known that it has something to do with the Beef trust Investigations, as well aa with the land fencing matters. There were but very few witnesses be fore the grand Jury Friday morning, these being South Omaha live atock commission men. Among them were Henry Hamilton, Louis Rothschild and T. D. Hughes. There is but little question but that the Investigations will continue through the greater part of next week. It is the fur-" ther intentfon of the grand Jury to con tinue In session Saturday, Instead ot tak ing the usual Saturday adjournment.

Kennedy, who died at his home In auuuMLs viiy Wednesday of typhoid fever, nt T OUT THE DOOR STANDS WIDE OPEN To refute the many false and malicious attacks, bogus formulas and other untruthful statements published con cerning Doctor Pierce's World-famed Family Medicines the Doctor has decided to publish all the ingredients entering into his "Favorite Prescription" for women and his equally popular tonic alterative known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of these medicines, leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., will bear upon it a full list of all the ingredients entering into the compound. Both are made entirely from native roots, barks and herbs. The ingredients of the "Golden Medical Discovery" being Golden Seal root, Queen's root, Wild-cherry bark, Mandrake root, and Bloodroot. Why is it so many have been strengthened and benefited by the tonic effect of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ? It is because at this time of the year people feel run down, nerveless, sleepless and worn out. Poisons have accumulated in their body during the long winter. The blood stores up a lot of waste pro duct which poisons the system. That is why in the spring and early summer a tonic is almost a necessity. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery being made of medicinal plants, is next to Nature and the best tonic' you can use. For the same reason that vegetables and greens are good for the system at this time of the year, so is it true that a tonic made up entirely of medicinal plants, without the use of alcohol, is the proper medicine to take at this time. It fills the blood with rich, red blood corpuscles. It gives you a feeling of strength, and it puts sunshine into your system as no other remedy can. That is why Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has been such a favorite for the past forty years. He is not afraid to open his laboratory to the public, and he invites everyone to visit his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., to see how system atically the sick are taken care of and cured, as well as looking over his huge laboratory and seeing the scientific methods of preparing this wonderful tonic Neither man nor woman can be handsome who has impurities in the blood, for it will show in pimples, boils, and eruptions, in the dark circles under the eyes and in the sallow com-. plexion. After taking "Golden Medical Discovery" you are bound to have pink cheeks and a fresh complexion. The muscles get the good, rich, red blood, that puts on strength. It is a flesh builder, but not a fat builder. As an example of the good results thus obtained, note the following letter: "In the year 1899, I had an attack of indigestion and got so bad that my home doctor said he could not do me any good," writes Mr. G. Trent, of Gordonville, Texas. " I wrote to you and you advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, so I bought six bottles, and when I commenced using it I was so weak I could hardly walk about the house. By the time I had used one bottle my stomach and bowels commenced to heal. There were strips of false membrane as large as a man's two fingers thrown off, and I had a great deal of misery in my stomach and especially in the lower part I could not eat anything without having much distress . after ward, but by the time I had taken eight bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery I was sound and well,1 and could eat anything I pleased without suffering in' the least. Could also do as much work in a day as I ever could. I have not suffered from the trouble since." Vlr Dip-t4frp',c Good temPer is lareely a LJl JrlCI D matter of good health, and good health is largely a matter of healthy activity of the bowels. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.

MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY IS MAINTAINED Higher Raw Materials Give More Stability to TeitUe Trade Iron and Steel Mills Are Busy. NEW TORK, May 19.-R. O. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review pf Trade tomorrow wlU aay; Unseasonable weather is tha chwf ration of complaint, both aa to distribution of merchandise and agricultural development. At many leading cities retail trade in spring and summer wearing apparel is fall ing behind expectations and mere is less man tne customary reordering In whole sale and Jobbing departments. Although no actual reduction In tne crona la vot assured, sufficient uncertainty has appeared iu reader ueaiers in tne iarming aistrlcts somewhat cautious regarding the accumu lation of supplies beyond current require ments. Otherwise tne trade situation is satisfactory. Manufacturing activity is ruiiy maintained, the percentage ot idle machinery being smaller than at any re cent date, and the textile Industries make notable progress under the stimulus of ad vancing raw materials. The few strikes now in progress cause little InterruDtlon and some ot the July 1 wage scales nave been adjusted. Dut others are still under discussion. Hallway earnings thua far available for May show an average gain ot 8 per cent over last year and foreign com merce at this port for the last week in creased 13,967,1911 in value of exports, while Imports declined 1692,312 in comparison with tne same weeK in ivu. Structural shapes have taken the po sition of prominence in the Iron arid steel Industry. Building operations that were retarded oy inclement weatlier are now under way and the tonnage of steel re quired will keep mills fully occupied for some time. The industry as a whole Is well engaged and the output tor May promises to strain a new record. Higher raw materials have given sta bility to textile, manufactures. There is no dlspoaition to advance cotton goods, buy ers limiting their, operations to immediate needs, despite the difficulty frequently en countered in securing deliveries. Frequent withdrawals or the line or woolens indi cate that agents have had a succeesful seasrm particularly in worsteds, and com paratively few cancellations are reported. An advance of over a cent in the average of domestic wool quotations established the highest price level of recent years. Upper leather has not shared the activity of sole aa yet and sales of harness leather and belting butts are restricted. Supple mentary orders ror spring snoes are still coming forward at New England fac tories. Failures this week numbered 84 in the United States, against -3T, last year and 11 In Canada, compared with twelve a year ago.
