Would Kow Come to 81y Thousand. All building materials are higher In price than they were laat summer and the price of labor has correunondlngly Increased. Lumber la 18 per cent higher, iron 10 to 15 M per cent higher, labor 10 per cent higher, cement per cent higher, brick 5 per cent higher on some grade this tells the tale of the Increased cost of construction this summer. One man who figured last year that he could put up a building for 50,0 made his computations on last year's prices. This summer he found the same structure would cost him W0.0OO and he has decided not to build. Naturally the prospective bulkier is most Impressed with the high price of lumber, that article being the first thing to be con sidered. The lumber dealers are not willing to shoulder all the responsibility for the Increased cost of building and are willing to point out to their customers the facts with itgard to other building factors. The lumber used in a $00,000 building would, on the average, amount to $8,000 to $10,000, say the lumber men. Fifteen per cent ot this amount would not begin to account tor the $10,000 added cost In the last year to a building which could have been erected 'last summer for $50,000. Iron and Cement Go I p. A leading firm of contractors said that while they paid 16 per ont more for lum ber than last year, they had to pay 10 to 15 per cmt more for iron. Quotations on Portland cement at one time last sum mer were $1.37 a barrel, while this sum mer i2 Is asked. They have to pay t cents more an hour to bricklayers and carpenter. Forty cents a day additional to each man SALT RHEUM OH HANDS Suffered Agony tnd Had to Wear V Bandages All th Time. of the number required for several weeks' work on a $50,000 building would make a difference of perhaps $2,000, say the contractors. Brick of the better grades is higher than a year ago. The law of supply and demand is cited as the reason why both labor and material are higher. There Is so much building all over the country that laborers are scarce and lumber and iron mills cannot turn out enough material to supply the demand. In addition to the fact that there is an enormous demand for lumber, the mills of Louisiana were hampered by wet weather all spring and have cut less than the usual output. Those in the northwest started the season with a small supply on hand, and though working their full ca paclty, have been unable to All all orders. Lumber men say the cost of material does not seem to curtail building operations In the least. The country Is enjoying such an era of prosperity that large numbers of buildings will be erected regardless ot cost. BUT THE PURSE IS NOT FOUND ANOTHER CURE BY CUTICURA Another cure by Cutlcnra is told of by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupoca, Vis., in the following grateful let ter: "My husband suffered agony with salt .rheum on his hands, and I bad to keep them bandaged all the time. We tried everything we . a . . . : i i i i.: wntil he used Cuticura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills cured him entirely , and his hands have been as smooth as possible ever since. I do hope this Utter wiU be the means of kclplo j fcotue other mflwer." Police Search Halt a Dosen Young Spartans for Woman's Miss ins; Pocket book. Mrs. M. A. Plumb of Sheldon, la., who Is In Omaha attending the camp rtieetlng of the Seventh Day Adventlsts, felt hungry for fruit yesterday afternoon. Bhe paused at a stand at Sixteenth and Dodge streets and bought what her appetite craved. She picked up the fruit and walked away, but left her pocketbook, holding $25, lying on the comer of the stand. After walking two blocks she discovered her loss and retraced her steps. At the fruit stand the persons In charge professed to be Ignorant of the Incident, but Mrs. Plumb got the Impression that a bootblack from the shining shoo of John Beshllas, 101 North Sixteenth street, knew something about it. The proprietor of the shop and the six boys it employs are Greeks and some of the youngsters are Just learning English. Find ing herself unable to make any progress Mrs. Plumb summoned Patrolman Cunning ham. Beshllas objected to letting the offi cer enter the shop and quls the boys on the grounds that the boy In particular who was accused and one other did not know English and might answer yes hen they meant the contrary. This was too much for the officer, who telephoned for the patrol wagon. The Greek and his helpers were taken to the station and searched, but nothing was discovered to fix the theft of the purse. , It developed, however, thst Beshllas has a peculiar system for getting bootblacks. The parents of all the lads still lire' In Greece and the boys were brought to the t'nlted States by other relatives. They have been turned over to Beshllas, who came to Omaha about two months ago. He says he pays them "by the year," but provides their food, clothes and lodging and allows them no money except what they get In tips. He did not say how much was turned over to each youngster at the end of the yoar. He denied that the boys were under contract and said they were free to leave htm when they choose. Some are over 10 years and all are bright and Intelligent. The police were unable to recover- th pocketbook. BOY ESCAPES. KIDNAPERS Youth is Seized bj Mother and Unols, but Finally Qeti Away. EXCITING SCENE ENACTED ON STREET Police Warn Would-Be Abductors that Hepetitton of the Act Might Land Them in Prison. John Dlekamper, a well grown boy of 16 years, was kidnaped In broad daylight by his mother and brother, and saved him self after being dragged half a block by clinging to a lamp post at the corner of Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue. So tightly did he cling to the pole that his uncle could not pry him loose before a crowd gathered and attracted Superinten dent Morris of the Associated Charities. Young Dlekamper told the superintendent that he did not wish to go with his cap tors, but that he desired to remain with a guardian appointed by the juvenile court. Morris assumed charge of the case and took the whole party before Probation Offi cer Bernstein, who arrested Mrs. Dlekam per and the brother, John Holbert, a farmer, living in Indiana. It was proposed to file charges against them, accusing them of contempt of court and abduction, but they were released after talking with Po lice Captain Mostyn, who advised them that a repetition ot the forcible measures probably would land them behind the bars. Boy Evades His Mother. Young Dlekamper lives with Miss Anna Dailey at 215 North Fourteenth, to whom he was officially committed by the Juvenile court a short time ago. The boy. It Is said, does not care to have anything to do with his mother. He and his guardian say tbey have boen annoyed by agents of Mrs. Dlekamper for nearly a year, various ef forts being made to secure his custody, all of then unsuccessful. 1 The lad had gone out on the street to buy a bowl of soup for a man in the house who was sick and had Just reached the gate on his return, when his mother, Hoi- bert and another woman swept down upon him and dragged him away. The soup was spilled in the dirt and some small coins carried by the boy lost In the scuffle. The trio got him only as far as the corner, and, despite his Objections, were about to call a cab, when Superintendent Morris made the rescue. Holbert admitted to Mor ris that It was the Intention to get the boy out of the city as rapidly as possible. Something was said of property which the lad Is to Inherit and the superintendent thinks the teal of possession ot him may be accounted for thereby. Miss Dallry's Statement. Miss Dailey says: 'In 1900 Mrs. Dle kamper came here with John and obtained lodging and board from me. She was doing dining-room work at the time and ottered to pay me $2 a week to care for and board John. We are not related. She left him iere and continued the pay ments tor about two years and then stopped them. I sent John to the Cass street school and have taken care of him since. About a year ago the woman first started U fet hold ot him, but I enlisted the aid of Miss Simons, principal of the Cass school and have kept him. Not long ago the JuvenJle court placed him In my charge, this being brought about by the efforts of his relatives to get him. Mrs. Dlekamper is not a good woman and is not fit to have him in custody. The boy wants to stay here. I think the story about the property is a myth. The woman used to tell the boy that he would get $1,000 when he was twenty-one, but I do not place any reliance in thlB." Young Dlekamper told the reporters that he did not want to have anything to do with the relatives, and preferred to stay with Miss Dailey. He offered to show the papers of the Juvenile court committing him to her care. He has the reputation of being well-behaved. TESTIMONY INjSEC0ND CASE Depositions Are Taken in Action Fendlncr Against Tom Dennison in District Court. In court room No. 2 of the district court the taking of testimony in the form of de positions In the second case against Tom Dennison was concluded Thursday after noon. Bob O'Callahan testified that he knew Shercllffe In the Iowa penitentiary and that he was to get money for testifying In the trial against Dennison. Frank Glabb testified that he knew of the expense ac count that Tom and John Dennison had made out at the request of Shercllffe, who said he wished It to show to his mother. James Jordan, a bookmaker, 73 yers of age, said he had seen Shercllffe In Denver, when the latter said he had the Pollack diamonds and wished Jordan to help him to dispose of them. He also met a woman In the west who had a large number of diamonds which she said that Shercllffe had given to her. WESTERN ROADS FIGHT LAW Bail ways and Stock Growers Opposed to Twenty-Eight Hour Act. SAYS IT AfPLIES ONLY TO THE EAST Will Exert Effort with Next Congress to Secure Modifications that Will Fit Conditions in the West. DEATH DUE TO THUNDER PEAL Yoanff Woman Succumbs to Shock Following an Especially- bosi Crash. A, sad Incident In connection with the heavy thunder storm of Thursday night, which while not the direct, was the contrib uting cause of the death of Miss Mary Carey at her home, 5V) South Twenty eighth street. Miss Carey has been an In valid from tuberculosis for several months and was confined to her bed only a couple of days prior to Thursday night's storm. While her condition was serious, it was not regarded as Immediately critical Thurs day evening. When the especially violent crash of thunder came about t o'clock Miss Carey rose partly in her bed In fright and the shock caused a hemorrhage of the lungs from which she expired In a very tew moments. Western railroads and stocx growers are planning to move against the twenty eight hour law as It now stands In the regulations for the shipment of live stock In the matter of feed and water of stock In transit. The western roads malntaiaj that the reg ulations, even with the modifications as announced by Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal Industry, and ap proved by Secretary Wilson, were devised more to accommodate eastern roads than the roads of the west, which haul the range cattle. The eastern roads haul, so It Is claimed, the more select cattle from Chi cago to New York and it Is no hardship on them to load but fourteen or sixteen to a car and give them plenty of room to lie down, but on the western roads it Is al together different and would cost the ship per from $18 to $25 more per car if com plied with. Congressman Mondell of Wyoming Is In teresting himself In the matter for the western cattle raisers and the question will be placed before congress when it convenes. The law has been In effect for some time, but the rigid enforcement has been required only since July 1. A Northwestern official said: "We look upon the law as unreasonable, still we know the government Is enforcing It and has men at ail turns, so we are obey-, lng the letter of the law strictly." Try for an Extension. The National Live Stock association at tempted to have the time extended to forty hours, but this was looked upon as unreasonable, and the railroad men seem to think It may be extended to thirty-two or thirty-four hours, which will give am ple time for most any haul. John Eyler, live stock agent of the Bur lington, said the railroads were watching closer than ever and that all Infringements were guarded against. Sudden Attack of l)enterr Cured, A prominent lady of Brooklyn, N. Y., writes to Inquire where she can obtain Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Bhe siys: "While stopping at a ranch In South Dakota I was taken 111 ot what seemed to be cholera. They gave me some of this medicine and it cured me. I brought a bottle home and have just used the last of It today. Mother was taken sud denly ill of d sentry aud it helped her immediately." 11c the following communication from Dr. Salmon and Indicated that he had approved the changes suggested: The Secretary of Agrlcult ure Sir: Re ferring to my recommendation, approved by you as printed In circular, dated July 2, 1K05, In regard to the attitude to be taken by the department with reference to the twenty-elght-hour law In the matter of feeding, resting and watering live stock In transit, I have the honor to withdraw that recommendation and to recommend that until further orders, any cars equipped with feeding and watering facilities may be used for the shipment of cattle without unloading, provided the cattle can and do receive food and water en route, and that the number of cattle loaded In a car be left to the shippers, but that such loading shall not exceed the minimum weight as provided In the classification of the trans portation companies. Very reapeotf ully, D. E. SALMON, fhief of Bureau. Approved: JAMES WILSON. Secretary. OMAHA MAN GETS FATAL SHOCK Conductor C. A. Blackmell Killed at Des Moines by Charge of Electricity. G. A.

He had taken his car out to the fort and gone to a telephone booth to report the fact. The motorman and others heard a cry and picked him up unconscious. He expired at a hospital within an hour.

WOLBACH'S SON DENIES IT Grand Island Man Says Hla Father Is Not Uolos to Hots to Omaha.

In a letter later Mr. Woibach, Jr., forcibly denies the report. WILSOX MODIFIES THE ORDER Stock that Can Be Fed and Watered En Route Xeed ot Be I nloaded. ' WASHINGTON. Aug. 18-Serretary Wil son returned to Washington today from Chicago, where he conducted an Investiga tion of complaints against the new regula tions governing the shipment of stock under the twenty-eight-hour law. The secretary, In response to an Inquiry whether he will ask congress tor a modifi cation of the law in order to give the shippers and railroads the relief they de mand, said he was inclined to think the lime limit might be extended on hauls la territory west of the Missouri liver, but that east of the Missouri river an exten slon ot time Is not advisable. i-lr la las W Uis secretary mad pub- Sunday School Social.
