Dorothy Dodd
The Difference
You must credit the "Dorothy Dodd" shoe with' ono
thing. It charges you nothing for reputation. When you buy
a gown stylishly made and faultlessly fitted, you pay a prioo
commensurate with the style and fit and the artist's reputa
tion. So also when you buy millinery and kindred things.
But not so when you buy shoes, if you but choose the
"DOROTHY DODD". Here at your convenience are shoes
of faultless fit,. with style of the greatest distinction, and inV
variety from which you can choose for any and every peca-'
sion. Yet you are sure always of a moderate price no more,
than you would have to pay for commonplace shoes. If you,
are not now wearing the "DOROTHY DODD" may we not
a6k you to try one pair? Other women have been delighted
with the change. So will you be. -

TRIO UP. FOR SAFECRACKING
Three Ilea Arrested as Saspeets of
Clever Piece of Burglary
Friday- Night.
The safe In the office of the Nebratka
Hay and Grain company. Forty-third and
Hamilton streets, was blown open early
Saturday morning by men who evidently
knew their worn. No money was In tbo
safe at the time.
Detectives Horn and Ferris arrested
Barney Geary, J. Ahern and Fred Ellis at
Benson Saturday morning on susplclou of
having been Implicated in the safe crack
ing. The prisoners gave their address as
Cblcsgo when booked at the city jail.
They said they walked from Arlington
early Saturday morning, having been put
off a train at that point. Each had money
when searched. The prisoners will be care
fully Investigated, aa the police feel con
fident they are the parties who broke the
safe, although the evidence at this time
Is only circumstantial.
The police ssy the cracking of this safe
was the most skillful piece of work of its
kind performed here for a long time. The
door of the strong bos was blown oft
without shattering the whole safe. Tho
office clock stopped at 1:11, Indicating the
time of the explosion. The Intruders
sained entrance by prying a sliding door
at the rear and forcing an Inner window
to the office. At the rear of the building
a 'check for 11,000, taken from the safe,
was fecund on the ground. The safe con
tained only valuable papers.
The burglars left a part of a bar of
aoap used In filling up the cracks of the
safe door before Injecting the nitro
glycerine. 1
'PHONE CASE IS , UNSETTLED
As Matter Mow staada It Looks Like
Tareo Reports Will Bo
Made.
Coundlmen say they doubt sekloualy If
the telephone question will be settled at the
meeting Tuesdsy night by selecting one of
the three applicants for a second franchise
grant.
It was announced Saturday morning thai
Councilman Davis of the telephone com
mittee would -submit a minority, report, ad
vising against giving a franchise to anyone
on the ground that a dual telephone system
is a bad. thing.) Chalrmaa beldoa of the
committee said be and CeancUinaa Juan-
son, the other member, may differ on the
applicant who should get the prise and
other matters, and that it was possible
three, separate reports would be made by
the committee. These are expected to be
made to the general committee Monday aft
ernoon. Meanwhile councllmen, not members of
the committee, are picking flaws in the
proposed ordinances and saying they will
not stand for the measures In their present
form. Councilman Bedford In looking over
the home company's ordinance ascertained
to his own satisfaction that it does not
compel the exchange to connect with all
outside lines, but simply provides that It
"may" do so. This and other clauses do
not satisfy him.

COUNCIL IS IN THE DARK
Finds Itself Itrnorant of Facts u to Tax
Lot for Next Tsar.
IT IS UNABLE THEREFORE TO MAKE CUT
Fact Is Revealed that New Democratic
AAialalstratloa lias Fat la Lit
tle Time Stad loc Munici
pal Conditions.
Meeting at the request of Mayor Dahlman
to see if the fl,000,0b0 tax levy for city pur
poses for 1907 could be cut down, the coun
cil Saturday morning found Itself without
information or knowledge upon which to
act. The situation revealed the fact that
the new democratic council had spent little
time In studying the financial affairs of
the municipality and had made a rough
guess that as much money would be re
quired next year as this year and let it go
at that.
Some questions by the mayor brought out
this condition of affairs distinctly and
Councilman Zlmman urged that the certifi
cate be held up for a few days In order that
estimates might be obtained from depart
ments and an effort made for the council
to know what it was about. County Com
missioners Ure, Bruning and Solomon were
asked to step over to the city hall and the
situation was explained to them. They Im
mediately agreed to postpone making the
levy from Saturday to Wednesday morning.
A regular council meeting will Intervene
and give the mayir and, council a chance
to get affaire straightened out.
Dona Sees the Light.
Assistant City Attorney Dunn backed up
on his opinion that the council should
refuse to obey the school board's demand
for a 16-mlll levy, and advised in direct
opposition to his previous counsel. Mr.
Dunn saw the light expounded by Presi
dent McCague of the board and as set
forth in The Bee.
Under the arrangements the mayor will
veto the levy certificate resolution
adopted Tuesday night and a new one
will be put through the mill at the next
meeting. ' In. the meantime the mayor is
to get estimates from departments and
try to cut the city tax rate.
"It seems to me that the $1, 000.000
total could be out about 1100.000," said
the mayor. "I think the sinking fund
will bear shaving 160.000 from the limit
and the general' fund about-as much. At
any rate I would Ilka to have themattcr
gone Into thoroughly, and I will not sign
the resolution In Its present form."
Some weeks ago the council Instructed
the finance committee to get estimates
from the departments, but the commit
tee reported that It had not succeeded in
getting the departments to respond.
LEGACY TAX0N THE ROADS
Faads Received from Inheritances te
Bo Used for remanent
Improvcmeats.
At tho regular meeting of the county
commissioners Saturday a resolution was
adopted to use the funds received from the
Inheritance tax for permanent Improve
ment of roads In Douglas county. Of the
19,600 now In the hands of the county
treasurer It was decided to use 3S,000 for
the permanent Improvement of West Q
street, $25,000 for the permanent Improve
ment of the Calhoun road and 19,500 for the
permanent Improvement of Leavenworth
street as far as Elmwood park. Bids were
asked for tl e grading of these roads pre
paratory to paving, the work to be done
by December L
: It was decided to transfer (22,000 from
the road fund to the general fund, $43,000
from tho bridge fund and $1,587 from the
Judgment fund. All voted In favor of this
except Soloman, who voted against the
transfer from the road fund. Mr. Ure
explained the position sf the board by
saying that It waa hoped by thl4 oh'ange
to put the county on a better basis, so all
bill could be paid on the first of the suc
ceeding month Instead of making people
wait a year, as is now the case. The
commissioners figure they can make a
great saving by the prompt payment of
bills.
No action was taken on making up the
levy, as the city officials had asked for
more time, or until after the meeting next
Tuesday night
STOCK YARDSC0MPANY SUED
Charged with 1 Violating- Safety Ap
pliance Aet la tho Yards at

Butt was brought lu the United States
district court Saturday morning by the
United States district attorney against the
Union Stock - Yards company of South
Omaha for the violation of the safety ap
pliance act. ' The defendant is charged
with using cars In Its yards that are
fflcieal of safety couplings. Hence tte
company Is asked by Uncle Sam to deposit

TALL UNCUT BAD FOR BED
Weeds that Rear Their Lofty Heights
Prove to Be Unsafe for
Sleepers.
Considering the present activity of the
city health department In ' Its campaign
against high weeds It becomes dangerous
for people to go to sleep In vacant lots,
acoordlng to reports In the police court
Saturday morning.
Edward Snyder and Harry Hall came in
from the distant hills- Friday afternoon
and Inhaled several bottles of disturbing
elements. The men finally went to sleep
In high weeds on East Capitol avenue,
thinking they were In clover. A few
minute after Patrolmen Llckert and
Shields found them and they were taken
to Jail. The police Judge fined each $5 and
costs and warned the strangers against
sleeping In high weeds, as the reapers of
high weeds are abroad and no man know
eth when be will have his ear cut off.
