MAN WHO MAKES PICTURES THAT ARE REAL
Ena-aged on Preparing; View of Omaha
for the Jubllea Number at The
Bee te Be leaned 01 Hew
Year's Day.
Edward J. Austen, the admitted premier
of panorama and blrd'a-eye view painters.
In working- on a great blrd'a-eye view of
Omaha, which la to be presented by The
Bee to it subscribers In connection with
the Jubilee number of the paper, to be
Issued on New Year's day. Mr. Austen
la making rapid progress with the work,
on which he haa been engaged for several
weeks, and now has It nearly completed.
Thofie mho have viewed It pronounce It a
wonderfully accurate production. It will,
when flnlHhed, show every street and every
building In Omaha, . all the topographical
features of the city, and will be so ac-
' curate that eaeh structure may be located;
by a knowledge of Ita place on the street,
and without the aid of any Index or guide.
"It Is a mathematical proposition," said
Mr. Austen, "livery score building and
every house Is bound to come on the right
place. We have a given place to start
from, and like a sailor. We take our bear
lnts und know exactly where we are."
Mr. Austen Is one of the few men who
have attained distinction In" this line of
work and he did not secure his firm foot
hold upon the ladder of fame without
having many experiences some adverse-
all of whic h he has put to good account.
While he Is recognized In this country now
as standing at the head of his profeB'
slon, It tins not been many year ago that
he was unheard of.
Made a lilt la Africa.
He started In England, where he was
born, and his first assignment of par
ticular note was given him by the London
Graphic. That assignment was to find
Henry M. Stanley In Africa and Incidentally
secure some pictures of that country.
Mr. Austen was an artist. He failed to
find Stanley, but he secured the pictures.
And so broad was the field and so great
was the opportunity that Mr. Austen re
mained In Africa eight years, after which
he made a couple of trips to England
and then beaded for America. He arrived
In thla country, to which hia name bad pre
ceded him, in 1884, since when he has de
voted most of his time to painting pano
ramas and bird's-eye views of expositions.
It was -while at work on the Omaha ex
position that Austen became acquainted
with Edward Rosewater, who at once con
ceived the Idea of having a bird's-eye view
of Omaha painted. It was only with great
reluctance that Mr. Austen undertook the
work.
"I really had not the time nor the In
clination to begin this work," said Mr.
Austen, ,"for I have other things on hand
which give me little opportunity to paint
a picture of Omaha."
Aetna! Experience la Battle.
Among bis pictures are some of the finest
of the kind in the United Stales. Battle
scenes and expositions are bis specialties
and to secure the experience necessary to
depict a battle scene the artist has engaged
In actual battle, having served through
the first Boer war and having been pres
ent at many engagements. Among his
works at the St. Louis fair which attracted
much attention were his cycloramas, "Bat-
He Abbey"; his scenograph, "Galveston
.. Flood"; and his klnetoramu, "From New
York to the North Pole."
i he iiw of the Omaha exposition was
painted before any of the bu.. dings were
erected nml the artist merely had the plans
of the. struct ures from which to make his
picture. He was kept informed, of any
changes that were made In the plana and
his work was pronounced excellent by well
informed critics.
The painting of a bird's-eye view of a
city Involves a wonderful amount of work
and requires artistic ability as wull as a
mathematical mind. The first thing the
artist does after reaching a city la to
familiarize himself Vlth ita streets and
buildings, and then comes a map of the
topography of the town. Then the artist
constructs btmself a map in perspective. He
What Sulphur Does
For the Human Bod .'in Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our moth
era and grandmothers gave us our dally
dose of sulphur and molasses every spring
and fall.
It waa the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," tonlo 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 quantity
had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadaya we get all the beneficial effects
of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated
form, ao that a single grain la far more
effective than a tableapoonful of the crude
sulphur.
In recent year, research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium
(Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores
under the nam of Stuart's CaJolum Wafa.a.
They are small chocolate-coated pellets and
contain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur In a highly concentrated, effective
form.
Few people are aware of the value of thla
form of aulphur In restoring and maintain
ing bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts
directly on the liver and excretory organs
e-nd purines and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
rtosett us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary fiowera of aulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium Wafera is undoubtedly the best
and most widely Used.
They are the natural antidotes 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. Wilklns, 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 result
ing from constipation or malaria. I have
been surprised at the results obtained 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 four or
five daya, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is a pro
prietary article, and sold by druggists, and
for that reason tabooed by many physi
cians, yet I know of nothing so ear 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 "purifiers"
will find In Stuart'a Calcium Wafers a far
safer, mure palatable and effective preparation.
rnnst Imagine MtnsHf a thousand or more
feet above the city to Imagine bow the
city would look from that viewpoint. He
arranges his scale of the map with mathe
matical precision the same as Is done on
an ordinary map. Then he secures several
hundred photographs of buildings l;i the
city.
Details Are Many.
These merely assist in supplying the de
tails for the picture. For example, from
the pictures he can learn how many chlm
neys are on a building or bow the roof
looks, how many trees are In a front yard
and details of thla character which could
be secured In Bo other way except by a
personal observation. Oft tee perspective
map the streets and blocks have oil been
set out so with the necessary photographs
the artist can begin on his painting.
Associated with Mr. Austen Is Charles A.
Corwln, who has worked with him In all
of his great works. Though he has passed
his list mileatone and though he has had
experiences enough to fill several volumes,
Mr. Austen Is still a young man and no
trace of bis African hardships sets upon
him.
War Artist I.lVes Lost.
"I feel like a boy of 18," he sold, "but
then all artlsu feel that way because they
don't take the world seriously. Whit's the
use? The world doesn't take the artist
seriously. An artist takes his work prob
ably more seriously than doea rmy other
man, but that la all he does take seriously.
For that reason we never grow old."
Down In Africa when he was painting
pictures and looking for Henry M. Stanley,
he became the head of an opera company
and the artist smiled when he told about It.
"I married In Africa," he said, "a woman
who waa a great singer and she with her
two sisters and myself organized an opera
company. Of course we could not put on
a play each night, because we could not
get the opera house every night, nnd for
other reasons, but we did put In ten nights
In three weeks and Incidentally we made
out of that Just 10,000. It was better
than picking up gold, but it didn't iabt long
enough. Tou See I was the only salaried
player In the company and the remainder
was made up of amateurs who were tickled
to death to play for the fun of it."
CUT IN FEEDING PRISONERS
Price of Meals at fonalr Jail to Be
Reduced Bruaina- Seta Ball
to Rollins;.
Commissioner Brunlng made the start
toward a reduction of the cost of boarding
county prisoners at the Saturday morning
meeting of the Board of County Commls
sioners. He Introduced a resolution Betting
forth that the prisoners are lerved only
two meals a day, that the rate charged for
feeding them Is Judged to be unreasonably
high and that the compensation for feeding
the prisoners be hereafter 30 cents per day
per head, the reduction In price to date
from December 15.
On request it Mr. Brunnlng the resolu
tlon waa referred to the committee of the
whole and the county attorney for consld
ration. The statutory provisions covering
the matter and every other feature will be
gone over by the commissioners and the
attorney, probably at an adjourned meet
Ing to be held Monday. It Is understood
Sheriff Power and Sheriff-elect McDonald
will be given a hearing If they delre It.
Commissioner Tralnor also put in a reso
lution that should result In an appreciable
saving to the county on fuel bills. It sets
out the cost of heating the county Jail la at
present greater than the cost of heating
me court house. The committee on court
house and Jail therefore is ordered to ar
range for the heating of the Jail from the
court house heating plant, providing the
cost of making the change does not exceed
1200. If It should CO over that amount
then the committee la to report back to the
board for action.
County Attorney Slaoaugh sent in a com
munication advising the return of the filing
fee paid by candidates at the primary
election. A resolution accordingly wuji
passed directing the return of the amounts
paid to the county treasurer as filing fees.
CHARGE OF JURY BRIBING
Complaint of Attempted Trick Filed
Against William Crawford as
Hesalt of Crowe Trial.
Complaint has been filed in the police
court against William Crawford, who Is
alleged to have attempted te tamper with
a man on the Jury panel from which the
-rowe jury was drawn. The Juryman said
to have been approached by Crawford waa
John SchulU of South Omaha,
The complaint sets out a conversation
alleged to have occurred between Craw
ford and 6cbulu which is the basis for
the warrant. In the conversation, which
occurred after SchulU had been drawn on
the regula: panel from which the Crowe
Jury waa to be drawn, Crawford is alleged
to have approached SchulU and said:
"John, 1 see you've been drawn on the
Jury-
"Yes." Schultx swore he answered.
"Tou may be called to try the Crowe
case." continued Crawford. I hope you will
bs called on that case because I know you
will do the right thing. There la a man
(meaning Crowe) that la being Imposed
upon. There never was a finer man than
Pat Crowe."
"I don't want you to talk to me that
way," Schulta said. "I am drawn on the
Jury, and I msy be called on that case,
and If I am I will be satisfied with the
evidence."
The complaint then states that Crawford
attempted to induce Schulta to return a
verdict for Crowe should he be drawn on
the Jury.
otiiuui was arawn as a juror, but was
prevented from serving by a peremptory
challenge from the state.
CLIFF COLE HERE FOR WINTER

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Bout f.r Street Car Line to BelltTm
Decided on lj Company.
RUNS SOUTHEASTERLY ALONG THE RIDGE
Contractors Are Wow Ont Ftajurlue; on
the Work to Be Done, Which
at gome riaces Will
Be Heavy.
Manager Smith of the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company haa made
the announcement that the route from
South Omaha to Bellevue for the new
suburban line has been decided upon snd
several contractors have . been asked to
put In bids on the work. Superintendent
Smith said:
"We are anxious to have this work com
pleted as soon as possible and have asked
for bids from several contractors. The
route will be from the present terminus
of the South Omaha line at Albright In a
southeasterly direction along the ridge to
Bellevue. The route has been decided only
as far as the Bellevue college grounds and
the right-of-way men are still figuring on
the balance of the route through Bellevue
and on to Fort Crook, which we also ln
tend to build."
Three contractors were over the new
route Saturday figuring on the work, some
of which will be very heavy. The estab
lished roads will not be followed, but a
right-of-way has been purchased right
along the top of the ridges through farm
lands.
The Florence line, which the company
was so many years In deciding to build, has
proven such a money maker that this line
to Bellevue will be pushed as fast as pos
sible and Is expected to develop into a
good feeder to the Omaha lines.
This announcement was received in
South Omaha with considerable satisfaction
on the part of the merchants of the town,
who see in the construction a greatly In
creased territory tributary to South Omaha.
Since the South Omaha merchants have be
gun to work together to their own Inter
ests all these added sourcea of trade are
heralded with Joy.
Barbers Are Bnbbllnsr Over.
Barbers of South Omaha are up in arms
over a report in one of the newspapers
concerning the proposed action of some
of the barbers In returning to the old
scale of prices for work. The result Of that
action would be practically seceding from
the union and the probable disruption of
the South Omaha local. Some of the
barbers had announced that, beginning with
next Monday, they would return to the old
scale of prices and forwarded their cards
to the union, thus indicating that they
wished to withdraw from the union.
A denial of this has been made to The
Bee by Frank Fltzslmmons, president of
local No. 61. He says:
"I noticed In the World-Herald an article
headed. 'South Omaha Barbers May Dis
solve Union.' I desire to assert that the
writer of the article Is mistaken and to
Bay In this connection that the union never
was In better circumstances than at the
present time and never so strong as now.
It is possible there may be one or two
barbers In South Omaha who think their
services in shaving patrons are only worth
10 cents and I am not prepared to dispute
that proposition and agree with them under
those circumstances It would not be right
for them to charge more; but speaking for
the organization, permit me to say that
such barbers will have no effect on the
union. Our patrons as a whole are In favor
of the union and if a man wants to close
his shop I know of no reason why he
should not do so nor of any more certain
or speedy way than trying to run without
a union card on his wall. We recognize
the truth In the saying, 'United we stand, I
divided we fall.' "
Mass Meeting; on gewcr,
A mass meeting of the citizens of South
Omaha has been called at the city hall
for Thursday night, December 14. to con-
elder the sewer bond proposition. Ever
alnce City Attorney Lambert handed in j
his written opinion that the Stock Yards !
company cannot be made to build any part
of the sewer except the tunnel through
Albright to the river, the question has been
discussed quite freely by the people of
South Omaha, The contention haa been
made that the Stock Yards company can
be made to build the sewer and the city
to afterward pay for half of the cost of
construction. Considerable feeling Is being '
displayed over this question and the citi
zens of this thriving burg are aroused so

CITHERS' LATEST SUIT ON
At'.ack on City Charter Comai Up in
District Court.
BREEN POINTS CUT ITS BD POINTS
City Attorney Denies Right of Sixth
Ward Politician to Do What
He Seeks in His
Action.
Judge Scars Saturday morning took up
the suit of John T. Cathers to enjoin
August II. Hennings, as treasurer of
Omaha, from transfeiing to the custody of
Robert O. Fink as treasurer of the county
and city, the books, papers, records and
money in hia custody, under the provtalona
of the new city charter.
City Attorney Breen had filed a demurrer
to the petition In which he took the ground
the petition was defective In these partic
ulars. First, plaintiff has no legal capacity to
sue; second, there Is a defect as to the
parties defendant; third, uufllclcnt facta
are not Bet out to constitute a cause of
action.
Mr. Breen said that if the demurrer waa
sustained that will, of course, dispose of
the lnji tlon and vacate the restraining
order. If It is not sustained the city would
want leave to file answer. Judge Sears
said this would be allowed.
General Atarlc on Charter.
"This petition," aald the city attorney,
"la a general attack on the new city
charter; but thla document called a petition
ia a very inartistic affair, to aay the least.
Street rumor has been busy since the en-
actment of the charter by the legislature
with the report that the charter is de-
fectlve. Ttt ever since Its enactement the
city haa been operating under It. More
than eight miles of pavement have been
laid or contracted for. More than a quarter
million dollars in assessments have been
levied against abutting property for pave
ments and other public Improvement.
Municipal bonds have been Usued and ob
ligations Incurred. To hold the charter un
constitutional now would Interfere with
vast public Improvements, vitiate bonds
and ,do other things that would lead to
great confusion.
"This Is a very serious proposition. TVa
deny that any private cltlaen can do this
unless it ia clearly shown that aome con
stitutional right of his as to property or
person U.lnfrlnged. No mere fancied wrong
will suffice to enable him to do this. There
must be a substantial wrong shown. After
the charter has been in operation for so
long a time the state only can Interfere, we
hold.
"Mr. Cathera has no standing to prevent
City Treasurer Hennings doing the things
It Is alleged he Is about to do. Mr. Hen
nings has given a bond, and he can transfer
the books, money and papers to any place,
even his private residence. That Is not
misappropriation or embeizlement.
Only Hone of Ground.
'The section of the petition which might
possibly give Mr. Cathers a standing in
l court is that which sets forth that the
! mayor and council are about to expend
city money for the premium on a bond for
Mr. Fink as city treasurer ex-offlclo, prob
ably $l,tu for a $2G0,Xiu bond, as provided
for In the charter. Yet there la no allega
tion that Mr. Hennings, the defendant In
this case, la to expend this money or that
he approves or sanctiona the expenditure,
or that he would sign a warrant fur any
such expenditure."
Mr. Bieen cailtd the court'a attention to
tha fact that the petition saya that the
zchool district of Omaha is called "contigu
ous" territory and Indulged In aome pleas
ant criticism of thla wording . Mr. Cathera
said that was the mistake of the type'
writer, and Jud.e Soars said he would
take it for granted the petition meant to
say "co-extenslve" with th territory of the
city. Mr. ISrcen then contended that ih
