Lincoln Tolloweri cf Mrs. Eddy to Have a
$60,000 Structure.
TO BE LOCATED AT TWELFTH AND L STREET

From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jul -8peclal.)-The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, has adopted
plan for a church building to be erected
at Twelfth and L street", wqlch, when com
pleted, will cost $0,000. As soon as the
necessary ariangements can be made work
will be begun on a temporary building
which will be erected at a cost of between
I4.000 and $7,000. This building will consist
of the Sunday school room of the perma
nent building roofed over temporarily. It
will be one story In height and Its walls
will he built substantially enough so that
It can be used for a number of years If
necessary. When the permanent building
Is erected the temporary building will com
prise one of the rooms and It will be so
erected that there will be no waste of
material In making the change.
The plans for the new building were
drawn by B. 8. Reman of Chicago, an ar
chitect who has designed over 100 Christian
Scientist churches In the past few years.
He also designed the Bee building In
Omaha and made the plans of the town of
Pullman, III. The Lincoln church is very
similar to the Fifth church of Chicago,
which cost $,000, and it is thought the
Lincoln building can be erected for the
same amount.
In gene ml the building will follow the
ecclesiastical classic style of architecture,
pillars and plasters being one of Its dis
tinguishing features. While It resembles to
some degree the style usually followed In
library and club buildings It has enough of
the ecclesiastic about It to distinguish It
from these and designate It at once as a
church building. The classical style gives
ample opportunity for a stately and artis
tic exterior which will make It one of
the most beautiful church structures In
the city.

SIRB TO SON
Boy Can Sometimes Leara From Ills
Father,
When you catch them young enough
yon can usually make your sons profit by
your own experience.
Afterwards, It's different. A lady tells
how her sua waa.made to profit by what
his father had learned.;
"My husband was always fond of coffee,
and after his buslueas took him frequently
Into a German community, he drank It
more, with the result that his kidneys be
came affected, and he suffered greatly
with pains and despondency, till, as he
says, 'coffee nearly killed me!" So he
stopped using It, and began to drink Pos
tura Coffee. It cured him; and In a very
short time hi kidneys resumed their nor
mal functions, his pains were allayed, and
the despondency which had nearly driven
htm crasy ceased to trouble him.
"My little boy, a year old. bad suffered
ever since he was weaned, from stomach
and bowel troubles, lie could not properly
digest the milk he drank. It passed out
of his bowels in hard lumps, sometimes
large and again like small pallet, fre
quently producing dlarrheoa, and then we
would have to caU in the doctor. But the
trouble returned, again and again.
"We used to give htm a taste of Postum
Coffee occasionally, and as I saw that ha
relished It and realised how much good It
had done his father. I began to put a little
. In his bottle o milk. The effect was so
salutary that 1 gradually Increased the
quantity, till at last I uaed only enough
milk to give It color. He thrived wonder
fully on It. He, Is over two years old now,
and his digestion Is all right. Postum
has made him uncommonly large and
strong and healthy. I give bun a bottle
full four times a day." Name given by

PRICE CALLS UPON WILSON
Cotton Broker Demands that Department
Withdraw Report.
SECRETARY DECLINES 1 0 TAKE ANY ACTION
He Says the Statement Regarding
the Leakage la Work. of
Secret Service om
elets. WASHINGTON, July 9-Theodore H.
Price of New York arrived In Washington
today and through his attorney requested
Secretary Wilson to withdraw what Mr.
Price characterizes as the "unjust, offen
sive and unsustalned charges and Implica
tions" contained In the report made public
yesterday In connection with the removal
of Edwin 8. Hofmes, Jr., the assistant
statistician of the Department of Agricul
ture. Mr. Price stated later that the sec
retary had his request under consideration.
Meantime Mr. Price has secured from Rich
ard Cheatham the following signed state
ment: Mr. Cheatam strifes that after the evi
dence which he had furnished to Secretary
Wilson was turned over to the secret serv
ice department, his services were enlisted
by that department to assist the men In
whose charge the matter was placed to se
cure any additional evidence regarding the
case. It was decided that more evidence
might be secured In New York and In the
hope of doing so the secret service agent,
accompanied by Mr. Cheatham, went mere
for that purpose.
After working together In close touch
for two or three dRys, during which time a
number of persons who were supposed to
know something about the case were ex
amined by the secret service agent alone,
and after having fully gone over the ground
and examining each one who In the opin
ion of the secret service agent and Mr.
Cheatham could possibly hnve any connec
tion with the affair, Mr. Cheatham left New
York. Before leaving he had a long con
ference with the secret service agent, who
expected to leave a few hours later. Dur
ing this conference a full discussion of the
matter was had and Mr. Cheatham insisted
that the secret service agent call to see Mr.
Theodore Price before leaving the city for
the purpose of finding out what connection
he had with the case, if any, as his name
had been mentioned In one of the letters
submitted an evidence. Mr. Cheatham was
Informed by the secret service agent that
he had not been able to secure any evi
dence from any one that In the least con
nected Mr. Price with the affair and that
he had been told bv Mr. Hans that ho
(Haas; did not know Mr. Price and he had
not had any connection with him In any
way.
Up to the time that Mr. Cheatham left
New York he was informed by the secret
service men that he had not seen Mr. Price
for the reasons above Btated and would not
do so, as It was his opinion that It would
be useless, as he had not been able to se
cure any evidence that would Implicate Mr.
Price. Up to the time the secret service
closed Its report Mr. Cheatham remained
In close touch with it for the purpose of
furnishing it with any facts connected
with the case, that were obtainable. Mr.
Cheatham stated that he failed to learn of
any new facts or even suggestions from
anyone who might know that Mr. Price was
connected with the matter. Consequently
Mr. Cheatham was very much surprised
when he first noticed In the report first
given out by Secretary Wilson to the press,
the name of Theodore Price mentioned so
prominently In connection with the case, as
he did not know of any evidence having
been presented or secured by anyone that
would warrant the use of Mr. Price's
name In connection with the affair.
(Signed) RICHARD CHEATHAM.
Wilson Stands Pat.
Secretary Wilson told Mr. Price, as he
had William M. Ivans, his attorney, earlier
In the day, that he had no statement to
make along the lines requested. The secre
tary explained In detail how the matter
had been brought to his attention by Mr.
VanRlper through Mr. Cheatham and he
had In turn referred it to the secret serv
ice division of the Treasury department by
officials of which - this investigation had
been conducted. Their report had been
made to him and he- In turn, had made it
public . What had been made public, there
fore, tl secretary explained, waa entirely
the work of he secret service, except .that
portion of , hi statement which related to
the reorganisation of the statistician's
office. Under these circumstances, he added,
he did not -.feel called on to make an ex
planation or withdraw, anything that had
been given out. If Mr. Cheatham saw fit
to make a statement regarding the matter,
as Mr. Price told the secretary Mr. Cheat
ham had, that was very well and good.
Statement by District Attorney.
District Attorney Moigan H. Beach to
night declined to discuss the question
whether any action would be taken by his
office In the case. He, however, made the
following statement:
OFFICE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
July 9. On Friday last a report of an ln
vest'gatlon conducted for the last month
by ti.e secret service division was laid be
fore me by the secretary of agriculture
with the request that he be speedily ad
vised whether one Holmes, sometime act
ing statistician "of the department, was on
the facta in the report, individually liable
to criminal prosecution.
On tlio afternoon of the same day I a.,
vised the secretary that on the case as pre
sented to me no such proceeding would lie.
As to the manner In which the Investi
gation was conducted or on the broader
?uestlon of a possible criminal conspiracy
was not consulted, and any suggestion
from me in the then Juncture as to either
subject would have been an Improper in
trusion upon the administrative province .of
the secretary.
It Is the duty of the district attorney
on complaint regularly lodged, or without
complaint when the facts within his own
knowledge fairly warrant such a course.
to present to the grand Jury alleged viola
tions of law. hut It Is equally his duty to
avoid the slightest encroachment on ques
tions of mere administration In an execu
tive department.
A possibility that the action of the sec
retary may be misunderstood or that the
connection of my office with the subject
may not be clearly dennea is the warrant
for thlB- statement

LONDONERS FEAR ANTWERP
Proposed Improvements In Docks
Threatens Commercial Supremacy
of the British Metropolis.
LONDON, July . (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Londoners are at last aroused
to the fact that Belgium Intends to make
Its port, Antwerp, the first In the world If
money and engineering- genius can accom
plish It.
A deputation of members of the Thames
conservancy has just paid a visit to Ant
werp for the purpose of learning the de
tails of the new scheme. The chairman
of the conservancy, W. H. Grenfell, M. P.,
has Just returned and he admits that Ant
werp is making a great effort for com
mercial supremacy.
"Already Antwerp Is the third port In the
world, and the Belgian authorities are pro
posing to spend between $50,000.(100 and $60,-
000,000 in improving the dock and quay ac
commodations. Nine enormous docks are
planned, with a depth of thirty-nine feet;
each will be nearly 4.000 feet long and 650
feet wide. If completed the scheme will
give Antwerp thirty-seven miles of quays,
an against fourteen miles now existing or
under construction. A ship at Antwerp can
be discharged In far less time than In Lon
don, because these deep water quays are
In the river itself and there are no locks to
go through; also because the discharging
cranes, etc., are powerful and up-to-date.

rounding. Of recent year the government officials
In charge of the Yellowstone park have
been on the alert to ee that none of the

rustic surroundings. Buildings which
were to be painted received a coating of a
pigment which would be In entire har

Cold from Klectrlc Fans.
The reason th "electric fan cold" 1 so
often accompanied by sore throat 1. ac
cording to a doctor whose down town lo
cation brings him many such cases, that
the draught made by the fan carries so
much dust with It. "Th fact I." say
this authority, "that th air stirred by the
fan Is not fresh air, unless the fan I
backed up against an open window. When
operating In an Inside room or In similar
places, where it is moat appreciated, the
fan use the same air over and over, and
this air gathers up and keeps In motion all
the available dust. People who don't catch
cold are sometimes affected by thl dust
and show symptoms either of sore throat or
of noae troubles akin to catarrh. The right
way to use a fan 1 to arrange it with re

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMADA
Speoial Eleotien to Vote on Sewer Bonds
it to Be Called OH
AIM IS TO KEEP CITY EXPENSES DOWN
Annual Tax Levy nnd Appropriation
Ordinance Will Be Rend First
Time In City Conncll
Tonight.
It ha Just about been definitely decided
by the city father that a special election
for the voting of bonda for an extension
of the sewer system will be deferred until
the regular November election.
It had been planned for ome time to
hold a special election during the present
month for the purpose of submitting to
the people a proposition to vote sufficient
money for the extension of the Mud creek
sewer from Swift's to the river.
Now It Is reported that, owing to the
desire to keep the expenses of the city
down as low as possible, the question will
not be submitted to the voters until fall.
When the city last held a special election
the expense made a $1,000 bill ashamed of
itself. With the demand for a 15-mlll levy
from the school district and the coming on
of the lSTK levy the city officials do not
deem It wine to go to the expense of call
ing a special election. It Is figured that
the ticket this fall will be much shorter
than usual and that the residents of South
Omaha who are entitled to a vote will
have ample time to look over the ballot
thoroughly and thus an expression on the
sewer bond proposition can be obtained
with but a slight cost to the city. By de
ferring thin action the city will save con
siderable money and while the proposed
main newer to the river will be delayed
for another year It la figured that the tax
payers will be better satisfied.
Somo of the property owners declare that
they are getting tired of bond propositions
all the time and a lot of lawsuits and the
city enuncllmen are seemingly taking cog
nlzance of thin fact.
Levy Ordinance Tonight.
It Is expected that the levy and appro
priation ordinances for the fiscal year com
mencing August 1 will be read the first
time at the council meeting tonight. These
ordinances will be In blank as far as the
figures are concerned. The finance com
mittee will be expected to hand In an esti
mate of the expenses for the coming fiscal,
year and this estimate, along with the
levy ordinance, will be referred to the
Judiciary committee.
Some Idea of the amount needed has al
ready been obtained by the mayor and
members of the finance committee. Today
the city treasurer will present a report
showing the exact amount of money on
hand in each fund. When this Is ascer
tained the committee will proceed to figure
out what Is demanded to support each de
partment of the city.
For the fiscal year ending July 31. 1K04.
the entire revenue derived from all sources
was $174,078. This amount has o far suf
ficed to carry on the running expenses of
the city, hut provision for more money
the coming fiscal year will have to be
made If some of the contemplated Im
provements are carried out.
Jtcvr Updike Blevntor.
The new Updike elevator in the railroad
yards north of the L ntreet viaduct has
been roofed and the big building Is now

Another Depot Rnmor.
It Is now reported on what Is considered
good authority that about the middle of
thin week a party of officials of the Union
Pacific will (visit South Omaha for the pur
pose of definitely deciding on the location
of a passenger depot. Thl name rumor
went forth about a week or ten days ago
and a few officials did visit the city, but no
decision for publication wa reached. Those
who claim to have inside Information as
sert that the depot will be built near the O
street viaduct, while others appear to be
equally as confident that when a depot Is
built It will stand near the site of the
present depot.

SCHOOLBOYS ARE PAMPERED
Dea of Canterbury rind Fault with
Present 8yteu. In Great
Britain.
LONDON, July $. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Dr. Wace, dean of Canterbury,
has stirred up a hornet's nest by claiming
that the schoolboys of England are pam
pered. When h wa a boy at school, he
remarked, ther wa scarcely anything
neceksary for the purposes of his education
except a room, a book, a man and some
tlma a atick. He had an idea that the
healthy Spartan habit in which boy were
being formerly trained were not forgotten,
but he believed that there was too great a
tendency In chool nowaday to encourage
luxury.
Tlila ha brought forth a storm of pro
tests from sorue of the educator of Oreat
Britain and om of th student In th
schools as well. Some of the more face
tious even venture to remark that the de
ficiencies' In the early training of the dean
of Canterbury are now beginning to show
out many , year afterward. The dean,
however, view the subject In a philosophic
light and W that h 1 amused at th
outburst, which only goe to help demon
strate that "modern molly-coddling" 1 In
dulged In.
HIS VOTE SAVED JOHNSON
Pension Granted to Foemer Senator
Who Saved President Johnaou
from Trouble.
Edmund G. Ross, the man whos vote, a
T7nfted States senator from Kansas, navxl
President Andrew Johnson from Impeach
ment, has been granted a pension Of W a
month by congress.
It was because of hi services In union
armies during the civil war that his name
has been added to the pension roll. Doubt
less it would have been placed there long
before but for the bitterness aroused
against him by his historic vote.
Ex-Senator Ross Is now living quietly
upon hla little fruit farm on the outskirts
of Albuquerque, N. M. He Is still vigorous
and healthy at the age of 78 years, nnd
saws wood nearly every day for exercise.
Among his neighbors he Is known an Gov
ernor Rons, having nerved a term as gov
ernor of the territory of New Mexico by
appointment of President Cleveland.
Reports get Into circulation now and then
that ex-Senator Ross Is passing his declin
ing years In abject poverty, setting type for
a menger living upon an Albuquerque
newspaper.
After the expiration of his senatorial term
In 1871. Mr. Rons fell upon hard times for
many yearn, because of the bitterness of
public Opinion against him In the west. He
ntarted several newspaper ventures, but
none succeeded.
Finally quitting his state, he attempted
similar enterprises In Indian Territory, but
wth little more success. At last he loca'ed
In New Mexico, Where he has nlnce lived.
lie Is now passing life's last autumn se
renely and In comfort, with his son, Pitt
Rosn. and the latter' family. Nothing can
Induce him to leave his green orchards,
his woodpile and his sunshine. HI hours
are spent wandering about hin little farm,
sitting on his porch or reading In his
library.
"My life's best reward," he says, "Is In
knowing that at last the Country's sober
second thought has vindicated my act In
saving President Johnson from removal,
and that It In almost universally acknowl
edged now that I was right.
"It wag given to me, by my vote, to spare
the country from everlasting discredit and
defeat, something that might have become
a dangerous precedent for periods of public,
frenzy like that of VUiH.
"Why did I vote to acquit JohnnonT Be
caune none of the charges against him was
proven," said Mr. Ross the other day, In
response to an Inquiry.
"My life wasn't pleasant after that vote.
For years I wa the subject of abuse and
vituperation that would have turned tome
men's hair gray.
"At home I wa called traitor, renegade,
party wrecker and other things too numer
ous to mention.
"When my name was called It was known
that upon my response rested the fat of
President Johnson.
"The occupants of the galleries were
bending forward In Intenee and breathless
silence to catch the verdict, and the sen
ators In their seats leaned over their desks,
many with hand to ear, that not a sylable
or Intonation In the utterance of the verdict
should be lost.
"Conscious that I was at that moment
the focun of all the eyes, and conscious also
of the far-reaching effect upon myself of
the vote I was about to give,. It Is some
thing more than a ntmllte to say that I al
most literally looked down Into my own
grave. '
"Friends, position, fortune, everything
that makes life desirable to an ambitious
man, were about to be swept away by the
breath of my mouth, perhaps forever.
"Then the verdict came, 'Not guilty!' Tho
historic trial of the age was practically
ended. American Institutions had success
fully endured a strain that would have
wrecked any other form of government."

FIGHT WITH HUGE SEA BAT
Fish that Leap Into the Air, Turn
n lomeraanlf and Flopa a
Pnlr of Wing.
Imagine a Jet black bat of fifteen or more
feet across, with a long, slender tall, the
fins rising and falling like wings with a
motion the perfection of grace; wings Jet
black above, pure white below, flashing al
ternately black and white a the flshe
turned and swung along, standing out
against tho mauve tint of the bottom with
wonderful distinctiveness. They bore a re
markable resemblance to bats and were
the bat of the aea.
As the dinghy moved nearer I saw that
rare spectacle, huge ray turn completely
over, throwing a somesault as It swung
around, a picture of grace, yet never losing
It position, presenting for a few seconds
beautiful lines attuned to perfect grace. I
wa fascinated by thl lngular perform
ance, characteristic of these giant fishes,
and might have remained Inactive had not
the dinghy reached a point when It wa
apparent they must see ua.
I permitted one, two, three to go slowly
whirling on, then, selecting one that was
headed up the lagoon In the direction of
the cul-de-sac, I hurled the quivering grain
pole Into the black shadow Just as It wa
about to turn. I heard the quick thud, saw
the pole leap from the socket, heard the In
dian plying his oar to head the dinghy up
the reef, and then the very bottom of the
sea seemed to rise into the air as the great
batlike creature rose bodily from a mael
strom of spray, offering a vision of beating
wings that deluged boat and occupants;
then It fell with a resounding crash, the'
big wave from the Impact careening the
dinghy. Metropolitan Magazine.

FLOOD DAMAGE IN BAD VALLEY
STntsen House. Wsilnd Awy and M
Damaged.
THREE PERSONS DEAD AND MANY MISSING
Mater Reaches from Bluff to Bluff
at Bovine and Ke Syatemntlo
Search Can Be
Made.
PIERRE, 8. D.. July .-(Speclal.)-Tha
water of Bad river have receded fr
enough at Fort Pierre for the people L
begin to take stock. A trip over the floodt
district shows ow ners of home In that f Jo
tlon wearily trying to dig something out of
the wrecks of their home or standing on
the site where homes etood a few day
ago, planning the first move toward start
ing life another time. One man wading
around In the mud was asked where his
house waa and pointed to two piles of
wreckage several yards apart, saying that
each was a part of it.
The record at that town shows seventeen
houses gone completely and forty-three
more or less wrecked, with, all tho other
which withstood the flood practically
ruined no far as the lower floor are con
cerned, everything being covered with a
thick black slime, which can never he
clenned from furnishings and clothing.
Some have lost their buildings alone, while
others lost both buildings and lots, tha
erosion of the flood cutting a much wider
chnnnol for Bad river than ever before.
So far three deaths are known to a cer
tainty and numbers are yet unaccounted
for farther up the stream. A messenger
came down from Bovine' today to tell of
the death of Brnneke and say that on his
way down he found that all the buildings
at the homes of T. J. Bowley and Bert
Hollls had disappeared, but he could learn
nothing of their whereabouts.- The travel
long the river Is In wide detours to avoid
the streams which run into It. and the mis
sing onen may be camped at some point on
the river, but If they are alive they must
noon come In after supplies. The three
women from Fort Pierre. Mrs. Lowe, Miss
Ixiwe and Miss Hauge, have not yet been
reported and nothing is known about them
from people who come In from up river
further thnn that they did not get to the
ranch for which they started.
It will probably be a W-eek before It Is
definitely known Just what has been the re
sults up the stream. The water yet reaches
from bluff to bluff at Bovine and ther
could be no systematic search for the mil' 4
sins;.

The boat which went down the river to ,
pick up wreckage found several houses
grounded but going to pieces nnd they took
out what they could secure and brought It
to Fort Pierre, but all the furnishings were

Grip PaLins
It would be utterly Impossible to Imagine

Yet they can be relieved, and In a very
short time, by taking
Dr. Miles'

the greatest remedy on earth for pains of
any kind. Their soothing Influence upon
the nerves In felt throughout the entire

"I had La Grippe pain all ever me and
I waa In such distress I thought 1 could
not endure It. I thought of Dr. Miles'
