The Storm Da in a are.
Mayor Koutsky said (Saturday afternoon
lhat the streets of South Omaha were
never In worse condition than at present.
"In some localities," said the mayor,
it is Impossible to get around, even with
a light miggy. Washouts are being re
ported from all sections of the city, but
lOthlng can be dona towards making re
pairs until the mud dries up a little."
Missouri avenue, near Fifteenth street,
Is practically' Impassable, and there la an
other big washout at Twenty-first and
Missouri avenue. Thirteenth street for
several blocks north of Missouri avenue
Is almost Impassable, and little attempt Is
made to travel this street south of the
tvenue. The road to the city dumping
ground, on Twelfth street. Is washed away,
nd It may be ten days before the hauling
of garbage can be resumed. The heavy
rains have not Improved the condition of
Twenty-fourth street any, but the other
paved streets have not been damaged to
any extent, iiurlng the week the electric
tights, both street and Incandescent, have
been out of service about as many hours
as they have been in working order. But
the man with the real bundle of trouble
la Jim Carter, local manager of the Ne
braska Telephone Company. He has had
so much grief during the past two weeks
that he could not look pleasant If he tried.
Friday night's storm Just did a lot of
unkind things to the telephone company's
wires. A large force of men worked hard
Saturday to get telephones In working
order again, with the result that nearly
all the linos wera cleared .before dark.
Every effort Is to be made now by the
telephone company to hasten the laying
of conduits so as to get as many wires
under ground as possible before another
batch of severe storms comes this way
Paving; Histories Bent F.ast.
City Clerk Qillin has sent the histories
of the Twenty-fourth street paving bonda
to W. J. Hayes A Sons, bankers of Cleve
land, Ohio. In reply to Inquiries made by
the city clerk these bankers assert that
they will do their utmost to have their bond
attorneys pass on the legality of the Issue
as soon as possible. It is hardly expected
that a reply will be received before the
middle of October. Then some little time
will be taken In preparing the bonds and
the signing of the same by the mayor and
clerk. There la hopes, however, that the
money will be available before November 1.
The understanding seems to be that Parks,
Johnson ft Tarks. the contractors who
are to do the paving will commence work
Just as soon as Hayes A Sons notify the
city officials that the bonds will be accepted.
It Is hoped that one side of the street can
be paved this winter.
Missouri Avenue People Indignant.
Residents on Missouri avenue and In the
territory Immediately tributary are saying
all kinds of things about the mayor, city
council and McOowan the curbing contrac
tor. As soon as the money for the paving
of Missouri avenue was .received Hugh
Murphy who has the contract for paving
was notified, so was McOowan, who has
the contract for the curbing. Mr. Murphy
replied to his notice by saying that he was
ready to start the paving Just as soon as
the curbing was completed. , McOowan
never so much as answered the notices sent
Mm, hence the complaint of residents about
the delay In starting this Work. It was
stated on the streets yesterday that on
Monday night a committee of cltliens
would request the council to take the curb
ing contract from McOowan and let It to
some one who would at least make a start.
What makes the people sore Is the fact
that the money Is available for the lm
provements and that so far all efforts to
get McOowan to start the curbing have
failed. More than likely McGowan will be
notified next week to make a start or else
the contract for curbing will be taken from
him.
tr'nllnu Car Doors.
The police are having a great deal of
trouble with thieves who steal the Inner
doors of grain cars. Since the Vpdlke ele
vator started In business here a large num
ber of cars of grain arrive dally. As fast
as unloaded the cars are set on side tracks.
Thieves steal trie- lumber from the Inner
oors of the grain cars and cause delay In
getting the cars out again. These Inner
oors are broken up and carried away and
sed by the thieves for various purposes.
Even though a watch has been kept for
several nights the police have not been
ble to lay hands on the right parties.
Missionary Society Meeting.
Arrangements are being made for the
holding of the twenty-ninth annual meeting
of the Woman's Synodlcal Missionary So
ciety of Nebraska of the Presbyterian
churches at the First Presbyterian church
here on September 27. The question of the
wisdom of creating a new Presbyterian of
fice to have charge of Subbath school mis
sionary work will be up for consideration.
A program to cover the three days' session
has been completed. Dr. Guy W. Wads-
worth, president of Ilellevue college Is to
preside. Addresses will be delivered by a
number of well known missionary workers.
Next Sunday the completed program will
most likely be made public.
Pancoast for Police Jndsre.
Mr. A. C. Pancoast was the able young
attorney chosen by the reform Board of
Education as Its attorney. He was largely
Instrumental In driving out the old corrupt
gang that used to control the affairs of
the school district. His record In that of
fice Justifies the confidence that the people
of this community have In him. Among
certain republicans the. word has been
passed along to center on Pancoast next
Tuesday. Owing to the number of candi
dates It was necessary to select on the
strongest and then center the vote.
What Sulphur Does
WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
For the Human Bod in Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days, when our
mothers ana granamomers gave us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and,
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The Idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tlty had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef
fects of sulphur In a palatable, concen
trated form, so that a single gralu la far
more effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
' In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal
clum (Calcium Sulphide), and sold In drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers. They are small, chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur In a highly concen
trated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of this
form of sulphur in restoring and main
taining bodily vigor and health; sulphur
acts directly on the liver and excretory
organs and purifies and enriches the blood
by the prompt elimination of waste ma
terial. Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the dlseasv and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium Wafers Is undoubtedly the best
and moat widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wllkins, while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when re
sulting ' from constipation or malaria, I
have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In
patients suffering from boils and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear
In tour or five days, leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium
Wafers Is a proprietary article, and sold
by druggists, and for that reason tabooed
by many physicians, yet I know of nothing
so safe and reliable for constipation, liver
and kidney troubles, and especially In all
forms of skin disease, as this remedy."
At any rate, people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood -''puri-liers"
will find lo 8tuart's Calcium Wafers
a far safer, luoie palatable sud effective
preparation. "

OPERATOR IS HELD HliSI'OSIMI.l:
Failure to Deliver Orders Cause of
Fatal Wreck.
James Glasscock, the operator at Neola,
was held responsible by the coroner's ury
yesterday for the death of Engineer E. L.
Flick who was killed last Wednesday morn
ing In tho collision of two freight trains
east of Neola. The Jury also recommended
that Glasscock be held to await the action
of the grand Jury. In arriving at this ver
dict the Jury held that the collision was
due to the failure of the operator to d"llver
orders to the crew of freight train No. 90
Which was eastbound and which In conse
quence collided with a special westbound
freight on the bridge east of Neula. Ovlde
Vlen, F. L. Reed and John Churchill com
prised the Jury. The witnesses at the In
quest were E. S. Hammond, L. Buyer, C.
W. Akers and E. A. Ferguson,
A warrant for the arrest of Operator
Glasscock has been Issued but Ms present
whereabouts Is not known. He left Neola
Thursday morning as he anticipated trouble
and his wife left the same evening for Des
Moines where she Is said to have relatives.
Glasscock Is said to have gone east but
his destination was not learned.
The testimony of the witnesses, three of
whom were members of the crew of freight
train No. 90, was to the effect that Opera
tor Glasscock stood In the door of the depot
as the train passed and that he forgot about
the order lying on his desk to hold the
train there until It had passed.

the Tflham road In the Bronx revealed
one of the worst crlnles with which the
police have had to deal In many years. An
autopsy tonight showed that the woman
had been criminally assaulted and choked
to death. There was every Indication that
she had fought her assailants desperately.
Her garments were torn almost to shreds.
Tonight the body rests In the Fordliain
morgue, while half a hundred detectives
are endeavoring to establish tho victim's
Identity and to find some clew to the mur
derers. At the autopsy physicians were of the
opinion that the woman had been dead
about twelve hours. Evidence points to the
fact that at least two men were Implicated
In the crime. That the woman was robbed
Is not doubted, for nothing of value was
left on her person, wJille her fingers show
that rings which must have been worn
were torn from them.
The girl was five feet two Inches In height,
of fair complexion, with brown hair and
blue ej-es.
An empty dress suit case was found near
the scene of the crime, but neither on this
nor any article of clothing was there the
slightest means of Identification.
