GRAND ISLAND, Nrb.. Jan. LT (Spe
cial.) Thursday evening, January U, G.und
Inland camp No. , assisted by the camps
of Ravenna, Wood River, Doniphan, Alda,
Chapman and Aurora, held on of the
largest meetings that has ever taken place
I
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 1. (Special.) "The net
nominee of the democratic party for presi
dent will be a radical and In the democratic
national platform there will be a plank pro
rifling for the government ownership of
railroads and telegraphe. Whether Mr.
Bryan or Mr. Hearst will be the nomine
I do not know, neither would I predict
who-will head the ticket, but I will say
that It will not be a. Parker."
Thus did Mayor Dunn of Chicago ex
press himself to a reporter for The Bee
at the Burlington station her this after
noon. Mr. Dunne was passing through
Lincoln to Chicago from Denver, where
he bad been to deliver an address to the
Municipal Owenship league and to the
Women's club of .that city. HI train
topped here forty minutes and during that
time Mr. Dunne called at the Commoner
office and paid his respects to Richard L.
Metcalfe. .
"The Idea of municipal and government
ownership is sweeping over the country
like a tidal wave," said Mr. Dunn, "and
every day there are new convert to the
idea. I am glad to say that It is not con
fined to members of the democratic party,
but to all parties and It will sweep the
next president Into the White House. It
Is sure to come, for the people have be
come tired of the public utilities being
owned by private corporations.
"Just think of it, with the exception of
Honduras, Costa Rica and one other little
country and the t'nlted States, every
country In the world owns Its telegraph
lines. Isn't that fine company for this
country to be In 7 We will not be In that
class long, however, for the people are
awakening and will own their own public
utilities before many years. It will b an
Issue in the presidential campaign as eur
as anything.
"As to candidates, I am of course, not so
sure.. Mr. Bryan has lost none of his fol
lowing, though he has gained many sup
porters. The sentiment for him Is .deep
seated. Mr. Hearst Is stronger today than
he ever was. The people have come to
realise that he Is a man who does things
and got results. I oonslder him a formida
ble candidate for the presidency."
Progressing la Chicago.
When asked to make a statement regard
ing his fight for the municipal ownership
of the street railways of Chicago Mr.
Dunne said:
"We are progressing. We are-doing all
we can and will win. At this time, with
the exception of the Hearst papers, every
paper In the city Is against me; so Is three
fourths of the city council, but three
fourths of the people are with me and I
hope finally to get the etreet railways of
Chicago for the city. At this time I feel
encouraged because there is a division In
the ranks of the enemy over the extension
ordinance and as they cannot agree 1 hop
the council will see its way clear to come
ever to our side of the matter. I would
like to remain out In this country longer
but Imust bo back In Chicago to attend
. the meeting of the council Monday night.
I have to be constantly on the watch end
'I cannot afford to nils a meetlbg of the
council." .
v ."Will you make a statement regarding
the visit of Mr. Dalrymple to Chicago and
. his Investigation of municipal ownership In
that cltyT'l waa asked Mr. Dunne.
"Mr. Dalrymple came to Chicago as my
guest and I paid hit expenses out of my
own pocket. He has written me a letter
. which, so fart I have absolutely retused
to make publlo and which I will not make
pub.lc until Mr. Dalrymple makes a state
ment on the other side of the water. When
h talks I will talk, but not until. I have
not told any one the contents of that Utter
ana will not until I know that Mr. Dairvm
pl Is talking, then I will give it to the
press."
Mayor Dunne predicted that every city
In the city. the.-,, being In attendance ever
sofar as the people around the state house n,embers of the order, and next to the
know, but It has been generally understood larg, c)aM adoption, the largest being-held

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
Th mention of sulphur will recall t
many of us th early day when our moth
era and grandmothers gave us our daiiv
dos of sulphur and molasses vry spring
It was th universal spring and fall
"blood purifier." tonic and cure-alL mn
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
Th Idea was good, but the rraedy wa
.crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity
had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowaday w get all th beneficial effect
of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated
form, so that a single grain is far more
effective than a tablespoon! ul of th crud
sulphur.
In recent year, research and experiment
hsv proven that ,th beat aulphur for
medicinal us Is that obtained from Calcium
' (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores
unaer the name of Stuart a Calcium Wafeis.
They are small chocolate-coated pellets and
contain the 'active medicinal principle of
aulphur In a highly concentrated, effective
form.
Pew people are aware of the value of this
form of sulphur In restoring and maintain
ing bodily vigor and health; aulphur acts
directly on the liver and excretory organs
and purities and enriches the blood by th
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed ua with aulphur and molaases every
spring and fall, but the crudity and im
purity of ordinary flowers of aulphur wer
often worse than th disease, and cannot
compare with th modern concentrated
preparation of sulphur, of which Stuart s
Calcium Wafers la undoubtedly th best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidotes for liver
apd kidney troubles and cur constipation
and purify th blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R- U. Wllklns, while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that ti
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says: "ifor liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when result
ing from constipation or malaria. I hat
been surprised at the result obtained from
Stuart' Calcium Wafers. in patients
suffering from bolls aud pimple and veu
deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly
seen tbem dry up and disappear In four or
five days, 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 saf and
reliable for constipation, liver and kidney
troubles, and especially in all forms of skin
disease, a thla remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of pills,
cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers"
Mil find in Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far
safer, mar palatable and affective preparation.
irxiOX PACIFIC ICEHOtSE BIH
Big Structure Desfroyed Through
Workmen's Carelessaes.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Jan. W.-i.Spe-clal
Telegram.) Workmen on the two new
loe houses of the Union Pacific ruilroad,
about t:Z0 thla atternoon, upset a bucket
to- hetween the two buildings and this
caught fire from the lamp which was being
used to heat the tar. and Immediately an
enormous confiagatlon began, which de-
troyed more than one-hall oi tr.e imgeM

North Platte has for several years Doasieo
the largest Ice house in tne worm,
Is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad
company, end on their main line here. It
was used for Icing fruit and other pro
visions en route, and more trains and cars
were Iced here In a year -than at any
other place In the world.
Immediately upon the starting or tne nre
th alarm was turned In and the lircinen
of both th city and the Union Pacific were
on the ground In a very few minute. Th
plant Is In the western portion of the City
and because of not being adequate for the
enormous business of the road, two new
additions were being built .and were well
nigh completed when the accident occurred.
They were of new lumber and the molten
tar catching ablase started the nre wun
terrific force and It was evident from to
stsrt that none of the buildings connected
could be saved.
The fir burned all the afternoon and
evening and the firemen continued to work
with might and main. Th nine large
houses, size 81x112 feet each, were
utterly and entirely destroyed. These
nine buildings stood aid by side along
th track of the railroad, making a total
length of nearly 900 feet and a width of
113 feet by about forty feet high, and were
well constructed at a cost of from l,000
to $75,000. Except the two new ones, almost
completed, to the west, the remainder vere
about half-full of Ice and this to some de
gree Impeded th progress of the fire, al
though not very much.
For more than two hours the firemen
worked with large streams of water play
ing on the buildings before their work
began to tell, so hungry and ferocious were
the flames, particularly In the new build
ings. It was seen ' that they were hope
lessly gone and the effort was to save the
other two sections of the Immense Ice
houses immediately to the east of those
burning and separated from them by about
seventy feet. All telegraphic connection

A woman who might pas In any crowd
a a millionaire's daughter Is booked at
th city Jail on the charge of grand lar
ceny. T. L. Comb, Jeweler at 1530 Doug
las street, said he saw her steal a pair of
diamond ear drops Saturday afternoon
while he was showing her a tray of such
articles. The circumstances of the woman'
arrest brought to light as clever a piece
of amateur detective work a . has been
chronicled In this city for some time. Th
woman gave her name at the city Jail a
Miss Lizsfe Barr and her address at Atchi
son, Kan., from whence she said she came
to Omaha Friday evening. Apparently she
Is a stranger here. The purloined Jewels
were valued at S100 and were recovered.
Mr. Combs' story of the affair la: "I
suspected the woman when she entered
the store. The first thing she asked was,
Where do you think I could buy a good
pair of diamond ear drops? I suggested
she might find what she wanted at our
place. I then got out a tray and began
showing them to her. The way she fum
bled the drops kept me busy watching her.
Bhe kept her fur muff on one hand and on
the counter. Presently she made a pass to
slide a pair of the drops Into the muff, but,
failing to de so. lifted up the muff and
threw the pair back onto the tray In a
languid and careless manner.
Saw Her Pinch the Stones.
"She then asked me to say what the
diamond ear drops she wore might be
worth. She asked me to bend over the
counter and take a close look at them,
which I did, noticing her meanwhile slip a
pair in her muff. I did not say anything
to arouse her suspicion, but kept on show
ing her the goods. Then she said she
thought there was nothing on the tray she
cared for.
" 'You are sure there la nothing you
want?' I asked. She said she was sure, and
then Intimated she would look at eme un
j set diamonds. I called a clerk and ssked
1 for a lot of unset diamonds, at the same
time giving the clerk the signal to send
for a policeman. I took the woman Into
: the front part of the store and was show
j lug her the diamonds wnen Officer Brady
I came along. The woman Immediately grew
! nervous and asked what might be wrong.
I She took a piece of gum out of her mouth
1 and made an attempt to stick th ear drop
to the under part of the chair seat, but
failed, the drop falling to the floor, where
they were found."
Miss Barr became hysterical when the of
ficer took ber Into custody. She told of
her baby at home and wanted to embrace
Mr. Comb In her evident anguish. She
protested her innocence and said she did
not take th drops. At th city Jail she
