Pioneer Dies.
John I. Redlik, one of the pioneer citi
zens of this city, pained away at his resi
dence, 3611 North Twenty-fourth street,
Tuesday at $;) pi m. Mr. Itedick was
operated upon last fall and had not been
well since, although he had been around
until the last two weeks, during which
time he was confined to his bed. Most of
lils family was around the bedside of Mr.
Krdlck during his last nioments. The Im
mediate cause of his deatn was a hemor
rhage. John 1. Redlck was born at Wooster, O.,
July 29, 12. He moved to Lansing. Mich.,
when a young man and was admitted to
the bar' at that place. He arrived In
Omaha October 27, 1866, and at once threw
his vigorous snd forceful personality into
the then young settlement. He was prom
inently Identified with all of the early Im
provements and growth of the city and
wan one of a coterie of far-sighted men
who saw In' the town Its future possibili
ties and irrejUnes. much of which he has
lived to see reaJtied.
It wss more as a successful lawyer be
fore a Jury than any other one accom
plishment that marked Judge Redtck as
one of the shining lights of his profession.
He wss a past master In the art of con
vincing a Jury, his great lntuitlveness and
wit counting for much on many occa
sions. He first Joined with Jra a. Chapman
In the law business in Omaha, the firm
being known as Redlck Chapman. The
pnrtnershlp' wss of short duration, Mr.
Redlck forming a legal alliance in 18S9 with
Clinton Brlggs. For ten years the Arm
of Redlck A Prlggs was a mighty factor
In the local courts, gaining a number of
notable decisions also In the supreme court
In land cases. During 1B Mr. Redlck went
Into partnership with W. J. Connell, this
alliance lasting a year.
Nil Political Activity.
In January, 188T. he moved to Ixs An
geles, Cal., and engaged in real estate
transactions. In which business he was
then, aa well as before and since, highly
successful. While t I,os . Angeles he
srved two years aa president of the South
ern California National bank, returning to
Omaha In the fall of 1889. since which time
he was engaged principally In looking after
his extensive property. Interests.
Though not a politician in the usual
sense, Mr. Redjck, on account of hla recog
nised ability, waa honored with various
positions. In 1876 President Orant ap
pointed him one of the Judges of the ter
ritory of New Mexico, after which ser
vice Mr. Redlck was attorney for tfco
Union Pacific road' for one and a half
years, with offices at Denver. He was a
member of the Seventh Nebraska legisla
ture; was chairman of the Nebraska dele
gation at Pittsburg when Lincoln and
Johnson were- nominated, and chairman of
the same delegation at Baltimore when
Grant was renominated for the presidency.
Mr. Redlck waa one of seven men to
build the Omaha tk Northwestern rail
road; was one of the builders of the Grand
Central hotel and was ope of the organ
isers of Brownell hall -In 1868. i- ,
In the main Judge pedlck has been a re-
publican In politic. He was . communi
cant of the Episcopal church.
During his- long residence In Omaha lie
waa exceptionally fortunate in his real
estate dealings, holding at the time of hla
death many properties throughout the city.
Judge Redlck Is survived by a wife and
five sons. The' sons are: Charles R., prac
ticing law In Oklahoma; Judge William A.,
one of the Douglas cour.ty district Judges;
O. Chatham, a member of the Omaha
bar; George M. and Elmer, the youngest
sons, yet Ixi' school. Albert Clarkson, an
other son, died In Omaha two years ago.
Mrs. Marie Nagle, a sister of Mr. Redlck,
lives in Wooster, O.
Mr. Redlck was married three times. His
first wife was Mary E. Hlgbee, whom he
married at Pittsburg In 1856. She died In
Omaha during 1H65 and two years later he
married Mary E. May of Omaha. The
third wife was Miss Barbara Lyon of Ham
ilton, Can.' ' She was married to Judge
Redlck at Detroit about nine years ago.
Oplaloa' of a Contemporary.
Judge a. Wakeley, one of Judgo
Redlck's contemporaries In the early days,
has this to' say of the ' dead Jurist and
pioneer:
"Judge Redlck was noted for his great
activity and aggressiveness as a lawyer 1n
particular and everything else in general
that he undertook to do. He was one of
the workers. He was noted at the bar
for his humor and quick wit and had much
tact In handling a case before a Jury.
"Aside from his legal talents he pos
sessed a peculiar faculty for buying and
selling real estate to advantage, through
which means he amassed considerable
wealth. He was -one of Omaha's pioneer
and great lawyers, practicing here with
such men as Estabrook, .Woolworth, Pop
pleton, Brlggs and a list of others I might
mention."
And as Judge Wskeley said this he drew
his hand across his head and looked ba.-k
- trf jnore over the half forgotten years.
"I not recall that he Judge had any
particular r.obbjrN Some years back I re
member he had quite a liking for well-bred
homes, bat his health has not been the beet
for quite awhile and he has lived a quiet
life, looking after his property and taking
a rest In the evening of his life."
Experience with the rials Clan.
During the '50s Judge Redlck was one of
the moving spirits in the Omaha Claim
club, which was at first known as the
"Omaha Township Claim association." In
those early days the land had not yet been
surveyed, and for the protection of settlers
nearly every male Inhabitant In Omaha
was formed Into a sort of community of
Interest organisation for mutual protection.
The tract now known aa Redlck's addition
was In those stirring times claimed by
Governor Cuming, but he soon relinquished
his claim after a memorable experience.
The following la an account of one of
Judge Redlck's experiences with the Claim
club. It Is given here In the Judge's own
language and Is from a previously pub
lished account:
"Several of us who were boarding st the
Tremont house on Douglas street attended
a temperance meeting one night, held In
the Methodist church. Just around the cor
ner on Thirteenth street. It was proposed
to organise to secure the adoption of the
Maine liquor law, and I was asked to say
something. I objected to the proposition
and said that such a law could not be car
ried out In Nebraska and remarked, inci
dentally, that the fnlted States laws al
lowed a man to enter but lfiO acres of land,
while the Omaha Claim club said he could
hold .twice that amount and declared its
readiness to defend him in claiming that
amount. Next morning I went to my office
and was met with a scolding by my part
ner, James f. Chapmsn, who said I had
got myself and the firm of Redlck ft Chap
man In a nice muddle. He kept on with a
regular tirade, but finally I got him to ex
plain whst he was talking about and
learned, to my astonishment, that I had
been reported aa using treasonable lan
guage against the Claim club. I soon found
the town posted with notices of a meeting
of the club and concluded that I had stirred
up a good deal of a rumpus without In
tending to. The club was a powerful or
ganisation. I knew, for I was a member of
It. I laid In a revolver that day. loaded It
and put It In my overcoat pocket. Then I
told Chapman that he owed It to me to
see that I had a chance to speak when the
club met."
What Happened at the Meeting;.
The account then tells of the next meet
ing of the club, of the first speakers and of
the Judge's appearance on the platform,
concluding with:
"For ten minutes I dwelt on the advan
tages of the territory of Nebraska and pre
dicted Ita glorious future. Then I praised
the Claim club and said I had Improved
the first opportunity to Join It upon com
ing to Omaha a few months previously. I
then said I had no Intention to reflect upon
the club and that what I had ssld had not
been correctly reported. I added that I
know that every man present was at least
an ordinarily brave man. and with that I
produced my revolver with one hand nnd
took out my watch with the other and said:
'I denounce the man who has thus misrep
resented me as a liar, a coward and a
sneak, and will give him one minute In
which to come out and face me.1 As the
time ticked oft no one moved, and when I
announced that the time had expired there
was a burst of applause, and I was con
vinced that I had nothing to fear."
The above sketch well Illustrates the
man's native tact and daring, a character
istic that was always tempered with good
Judgment and which on many occasions
carried the day for him.
One of the Real Old-Tlmers. .
"Well, well, and so the Judge Is gone. Is
he?" was the exclamation of Dr. George
L. Miller when Informed over the telephone
that his old friend had died. "Another of
us old men gone, one of the vory. oldest
of Omaha citizens. It only serves to remind
us the more that our time Is not far .off.
I have Just come home from helping to. lay
away another dear old comrade, Mr.-J. 8.
Gibson.
"Judge Redlck was a man of strong and
aggressive character. He came here In
1856 and helped mould the city of Omaha
from a wilderness. He stamped the force
of his character upon the city and state.
He was a good friend and citizen. I am
shocked to hear of the Inevitable, though
we cannot always be surprised when the
end comes to one who has so completely
rounded out more than the allotted days of
man."
Mr. Gibson Burled at Tekamah.
Mr. Gibson, who died early Sunday morn
ing at his home. 1301 South Thirtieth ave
nue, was buried In Tekamah, or will be
today, for Ills body was taken there yes
terday after services conducted by Rev. T.
V. Moore of the Westminster Presbyterian
church. He waa 71 years of age. He came
to Nebraska from Indiana In 1856 and seven
years later settled In Omaha. He had been
a member of the legislature, of the city
council, of which he was president In the
eighties and active In other public and pri
vate spheres, lie was a charter member
of the Covert lodge of Masons, a Royal
Arch and Knights Templar and member of
the Knights of Honor. He was a founder
of the Old Settlers' club. In the late seven
ties and early eighties he waa in the cloth
ing business at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets. . He went west to Idaho and Colo
rado for a little while. He is survived by
a widow.
A Qaeatloa that Kvcry Man Should

There Is one subject in which many of
us are interested, and that Is, what Is the
quickest way of getting rid of a trouble

ELECTION IN CHICAGO TODAY
Municipal Ownership of 8treet Railways is
the Principal lame.
DUNNE IS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Saloan Keepers Arc Making- a Strong
Fight Against All Aldermen
Who Voted for High
License.
CHICAGO. April I.-The question of
municipal ownership of Chicago's street
railways will be submitted to the populir
vote tomorrow and the result Is awaited
with great interest. The contest has been
one of the most bitter that has leen waged
in this city In many years. Members of
the Municipal Ownership league have de
tailed to remain at every polling place in
the city tomorrow to watch the Interests
of "the little ballot," as the ticket bearing
the three propositions relative to municipal
ownership whhvh are to be voted for has
been named. Representatives of factions
which are opposed to municipal ownership
will also have watchers In every precinct.
The usual party lines which exist at an
aldermanlc election In this city have been
largely obliterated, and the eligibility of
candidates Is construed In the light of their
attitude toward municipal, ownership and
a high license for saloons. The advocates
of municipal ownership tonight expressed
the utmost confidence In the result, declar
ing that the voters of Chicago will favor
it by an overwhelming majority. Mayor
Dunne said tonight that the munlclpc.l
ownership would carry Chicago by 6 to 1.
Thomas Carey, chairman of the democratic
county central committee and a political
enemy of Mayor Dunne, said: "I feel satis
fled that the voters will turn down the
propositions In a way that will surprise the
advocates of municipal ownership."
'James Reddlck, chslrman of the repub
lican county central committee, contented
himself with predicting an increase In the
number of republican members In the city
council. He would offer no estimate of the
result on municipal ownership.
Isaacs on the Ticket.
The propositions to be voted for tomorrow
are:
1. Shall the city of Chicago proceed to
operate street railways.
2. Shall an ordinance be passed bv the
city council of Chicago providing for the
Issue of street railway certltlrates in nn
amount not to exceed $75,on,om, the money
to be used for the purchase of the existing
street railway companies, be approved.
3. Shall the city council proceed without
d!lay to acquire municipal ownership and
operation of nil street railwnvs in Chicago
Instead of granting franchises to private
companies.
The first proposition must receive 60 per
cent , of all votes cast In order to become
binding. A majority carries the other two.
In addition to the contest on municipal
ownership the question of whether saloon
licenses shall be $500 or tl.nno per annum
will be up for final settlement. The numer
ous crimes against women committed In
this city of late caused a widespread belief
thnt they were Indirectly the result of
many saloons which existed under a low
license, but which would be wiped out If
the amount was placed at $1,(100. The city
council, after a sharp fight, passed an ordi
nance making the license 1,000. The liquor
Interests have made a strong fight against
every alderman up for re-election who
voted for the ordinance. If a majority of
these men are returned to the council the
$1,000 license Is expected to remain, other
wise it Is expected the ordinance will he
repealed and the old figure of 1500 restored.

other laws that were on the statute books
compelling persons to pay their debts.

0FTE1I LEAD
TO CANCER
Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal and shows signa of becoming
chronic, it should arouse suspicion, because many of these places lead to
Cancer. It may appear S3 an ordinary sore at first, and is given
treatment as such, with some simple salve, wash or plaster, with the hope
that the place will heal, but the real seat of the trouble is in the blood and
cannot be reached by external remedies, and soon the sore will return. Aftet
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the
ulcer spreads rapidly, becoming more
offensive and alarming until at last
the sufferer finds he is afflicted with
Cancer. Cancerous ulcers often start
from a boil, wart, mole or pimple,
which has been bruised or roughly
handled, showinsr that the taint is in
the blood, perhaps inherited. Another cause for non healing ulcers and
6ot?s is the remains of some constitutional disease or the effects of a long
