THOMAS CARRIES HIS POINT
City Attorney Advises Police Board
It Must Furnish. Needed
Transcript.
At the meeting of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners Tuesday night City
Attorney Breen submitted hla opinion in
the matter of application of Elmer E.
Thomas, as attorney for the Civic Federa
tion, to have the board pay for transcripts
of cases to be appealed to the district court.
Mr. Breen holds that the statute provides
that the testimony before the board shall
bo reduced to writing and filed with the
board and If an appeal Is taken a tran
script of the testimony must be made at
the expense of the board, but not the plead
ing In the cases, consisting of the applica
tion or proof of publication, or the pro
test, unless it Is made part of the record
at the time of hearing. Mr. Breen also
holds that the board Is required to make
but one copy of the evidence for all the
cases filed under the blanket complaint of
Mr. Thomas. This transcript must be fur
nished without cost to the protestant.
Two applicants appeared for a license
for a saloon at 602 South Thirteenth street,
known as the Lange hotel. Stelnhauser
and Krug each asked for a license, but it
appeared that the same signers of nine
teen of the same appeared on both pe
titions, and each applicant haa been trying
to have the signers remove their names
from the application of the other. The
hearing was set for Thursday at 2 o'clock.
The board decided that hereufter all
moneys received from fines imposed on
firemen should be paid into the fireman's
relief fund and all fines imposed upon po
licemen should be paid Into the police re
lief fund. This was the opinion of City
Attorney Breen, filed with the board, and
it was adopted.
Fireman O'Brien was fined fifteen days'
pay, with a warning from the chairman,
and Fireman Carr was lined five days' pay
for not controlling his tongue sufficiently.
Several saloon licenses were granted, as
well as several drug licenses upon which
there were no protests." The application
for a license for a saloon in The Bee build
ing was withdrawn, as it was announced
that no lease could be obtained.
E. E. Thomas moved that the licenses on
which he had filed protests' and bn Which
the board had acted 1m revoked pending
the perfection of Ills appeal.
Tony Vanous, who has neon acting ser
geant, was made regular sergeant.
Contracts were let for 30,000 feet of hose,
15.000 feet at 90 cents to the New York
Belting company, through its agent, J. R.
Lehmer, and 15,000 feet of the Paragon
brand of tho Eureka Fire and Hose com
pany, through Its agent, A. C. Powers, at
90 cents. '
A. II. Heuning8 notified the board that he
would r.of turn over the office of city treas
urer to R. O. Fink until the supreme court
has determined the pending suit.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Apportionment of Fundi Moit Ba Mads
Thii Week.
HARTER PROVISION CALLS FOR ACTION
Special Session to Re Held on Thars
day Afternoon to Consider Matter
Presented by 1tr Attorney
Breen.
The attention of the city council at the
regular mealing last night was called to the
charter provision requiring the apportion
ment of funds to departments within the
first week In January. City Attorney Itrcen
said the matter should have Immediate at
tention, as a number of difficulties will pre
sent themselves. The council adjourned to
meet at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon to
consider the matter.
The making of contracts for food and
fluid analyses was ordered after bids had
been received from Prof. Charles F. Crow
ley and Prof. Millard I-angfeld of Crelghton
Medical college for doing all work required,
under specifications from the health com
missioner, during 1906. Prof. Crowley will
make the chemical analyses for JSOO and
Prof. Iangfeld will make the bacteriological
examinations for $1.2no. Both may be called
upon at. any time for service. They were the
only bidders responding to the advertise
ment. Position on Telephone Franchise.
Councilman Evans of the Sixth ward, as a
special committee, submitted a response to
an Inquiry from the Newport-Belvldere Im
provement club demanding an explanation
from the council for turning down the ap
plication for a second telephone franchise.
The councilmen assured the club that the
subject had been considered carefully by
himself and colleagues from all points of
view; that It appears to them from Investi
gations made that the ultimate results of a
dual telephone system will be detrimental to
business and other Interests; also that the
best Judgment of himself and associates has
not been in favor of two systems. He as
serts that this is the single class of public
service for which cost is increased rather
than decreased by competition, and that
two systems will mean double expense with
out Increased benefits. It Is stated that
many business men and other citizens have
protested against a second franchise, but
only a few, other than those directly Inter
ested or hired, have supported the proposi
tion. The report was adopted and the let
ter of the club placed on file.
Disposition of Condemned Buildings.
The ordinance arranging for the condem
nation of dilapidated buildings, their re
moval and taxation of costs to owners, was

Before Supreme Court
This Month.

order of Judge Sutton for contempt In the
violation of a temporary restraining order
against the passage nf a gas ordlname.

dle of the state's end of the argument before

appearing as attorneys for the man who
secured the restraining order. W. J. Con

men under sentence. A fight Is to be made

HONEST JOHN REVIEWS TERM
"herltT for sis Years. He Thinks. Is
F.nonah for Any
Man.
Sheriff John Power was canvassing his
three terms In the office In reminiscent
mood Tuesday morning.
"I will resign this position with consid
erable satisfaction, after all." said Mr.
Power. "There Is a good deal of worry
and responsibility attached to the office,
nnd six years of it Is enough for any man.
Still, there Is a good deal In the record
I have made that I feel proud of. 1 have
had as tnanv SJS eleven murderers on m V
hands In the Jail at one time, but 1 have '
not had any man who waa condemned to
death. There has not consequently been
a hanging during my terms, nnd for that
I am very thankful. We have taken sev
eral men to the penitentiary to serve life
sentences, but while there Is life of course
there will be hope.
"Another thing 1 can look back on with
a good deal of gratification, and my depu
ties as well, is that, although we have had
three strikes to handle, there has been no
blow struck by either myself or my depu
ties. The nearest to such a thing was out
at Sheeley some years ago, when an old
man persisted In driving his cow along the
B. M. railroad tracks against all or
ders. The man who quarreled with him
did so In self-defense, however, but he
was an Irresponsible and was afterward
In Jail for some offense."

Mr. Baxter have been Intimate friends for
many years, and none will herald with
more pleasure the promotion of "Boh'.'
Baxter than Mr. Adams.
The story of "Bob" Baxter's life wouldn't
look bnd In a book. At the age of 12 or
possibly 13. he began his services with the
Cnlon Pacific In the lowly capacity of
water boy for a construction crew out on
the plains.
None had a better knowledge of the dim
culties encountered after the road was
constructed and In operation than Baxter,
for from water boy he came up the long
line of service, filling each position and
tilling It well as he went, until he reached
that of superintendent of the most Im
portant division of the road.
Old Friend of Dickinson.
He waa an Intimate friend of Kdward
Dickinson, who left the position of general
manager of the Cnlon Pacific to become
vice president and general manager of the
Orient. Dickinson, too, had grown up with
the old Overland and the Sunday after he
had resigned In the' fall of 1903, the same
year Baxter quit, he and Baxter sat all
the afternoon In the Dickinson's study at
his home out on Park avenue and basked
In the light of their reminiscences on the
Union Pacific. It waa like tearing away
vital chords for them to leave the road.
Baxter went with the Lehigh Valley road
as superintendent at Snyer and then was
promoted to superintendent of the Wyoming
(Pa.) division, with headquarters at Wilkes
barre. and now he goes to the Buffalo di
vision. Here, stationed at the great center
of railroad and lake vessel activity, he
holds tho reins over a great system In Itself.
Tho Lehigh Valley vessels on the Great
Lakes, as well as the trains on that di
vision, come under his direction.
Never an official of the Cnlon Pacific
had more friends among his fellow work
men, subordinates and superiors, than
"Bob" Baxter, nnd any good news from
him Is always hailed with special delight
In Omuha and along the road.
STAGF FOLKS HAVE BANQUET
Attaches of Barwood Theater fiatber
Around Xw Year Festal
Board.
The attaches of the Burwood theater,
after the performance New Tear's night,
banqueted at the Calumet private dining
room. Gathered around the festive board
the members were seated aa follows: Lynn
Lloyd, tonstmaster; Herbert Johnson, Ralph
Howard, Albert Gewlnner, Allan Parkinson,
Roy Boker, Victor Brehm, Parker Halght,
Royce Sargent, d Gavin, Hyman Sugnr
man, Paul Herbert, Ben Johnson, Turnr
McAllister, Al Seymour. After the first
course Ben Johnson rendered a "touching''
solo, entitled "Gathering In the Shells."
Ralph Howard proceeded to entertain the
party with a few mysterious passes In
magic, making an oyster disappear and ap
pear at will. All thought that Ralph had a
string to the oyster, but this waa strongly
denied by him. He seemed to have perfect
control at all times.
Mr. Gewlnner entertained with a feat of
Juggling, reaching a climax at Sixteenth
and Chicago streets. Tho finest Instru
mental number was a solo given by Roy
Baker on the bass viol, which was, ns Its
name implies, both bnse and vile, owing to
the fact that the Instrument had but one
string, which whs a shoestring. The team
PnikiiiBon and Seymour was called upon
for a selection. They responded with a
dialogue, taken (when no one was lookimt)
from the play entitled "The Cause of tho
Squabble; or. Were the Bones to Blame?"
This nearly caused an uproar of a violent
nature, had It not been for the timely Inter
ference of one P. B. Halght, former light
weight champion of Nebraska and some
parts of Fremont. A song by the quartet,
composed of Messrs. Gavin, Herbert, Far
gent and Brehm. was then enjoyed, but s
no applause was forthcoming, an encore
was dispensed with. The pinnacle of enloy
ment was renrhed when the two end men,
MeKsrs. Herbert Johnson and Al Seymour,
delivered a graphic presentation of market
day in Council Bluffs. The applause was
deafening, and had it not been fur the late
hour a repetition would have been necea
tisry. After the post-prandial remarks
Lynn Lloyd gave a lucid description of Ills
conception of the nebula hypothesis.

causes that produce it work silently in tbe system for years. This itisidions
disease becomes intrenched in the blood, and pome exjwsure to cold or damp
vreather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Ior digestion. Ftomach
troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a peneral sluggish condition of
the system are responsible for Rheumatism. Food souring in the stomach
poisons the blood, the failure of the Kidneys and Liver to act properly leave
waste matter and impurities in the system, which, coming in contact with
the natural acids of the body, form uric acid. This is absorbed by the blood,
and as it penetrates to the muscles, nerves and bones produces the terribla
pains and riches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, Life is
made a torture by its excruciating pains, nerves are shattered, the health un
dermined, and if the disease is not checked it breaks down the strongest con
stitution. It will not do to depend on plasters, liniments, etc.; such treatment
is helpful in easing the pain and reducing the inflammation, but does not
