SLABAUGH RESUMES HIS INVESTIGATION Mayor Duhlmun Saaaeats the Mild Method of Thrsnlit Driver la Jail, lee la Cotter and tnaiklil Wasjoa. County Attorney Slabaugh Is busy look. Ing up the law In connection with the refusal of the Omaha Ice and Storage company to deliver' Ice to Mrs. C. L. Ransom and to Mrs. C. W. Eckerman, who testified In police court against that com pany and who held one of that company's coupon hooka which had been duly paid for. Mr. Slabaugh Is not yet prepared to say Juat what he will be able to do In the way of prosecution. He aald he wanted to be sure of his grounds before proceeding. As to there being any Ice trust, he repeated his former statement that up to date he has not enough evi dence to warrant a conviction on that score, and Juat what can be done with a company which refuses to sell Its product to a former patron, Is also an open question, he declared. Mayor Dahlman wHI cause condign pun ishment to be visited upon the Ice com pany which repeats the offense of refusing to sell ice to any one customer who has been short-weighted and appears against the company in police court. The mayor's remedy Is to throw the driver In Jail, de stroy the Ice and break up the wagon. If the people are prompt In telephoning him of the cases and the police are real shifty In getting to the place before, tho drivers get away some real results may be obtained and the Ice question become a back issue. Dahlman's View of It. The mayor's statement dictated Saturday morning, follows: "Sometime ago I had an ordinance pre pared and Introduced which was passed by the council and became a law, making It a penalty for any one who refused to give ful weights of anything sold to the consumer. A few days ago C. W. Ecker man and C. L. Ransom, both cltisens of Omaha, filed complaint against a certain Ice company for failing to give them the number of pounds of Ice they paid for. They were prosecuted by the city prosecutor and convicted and fined. They appealed the case, which they had a right to do. But after this trial they refused to deliver les to these people. They complained to me. I took the matter up with Assistant City Attorney Dunn, and had him Investigate the laws to fee whether there was any way that we could compel these people to furnish Ice to those that were willing to pay for tt. He did not find anything on the statute books that covered cases of this kind, but he was of the opinion from other Investigations made, that there might be a case made against these people under the anti-trust law. This would mean a long and hard tie'-U and by that time the ice season would be over. 80 I have concluded to adopt this remedy: That hereafter when people complain of being short-weighted on ice In the city of Omaha and will file a complaint the same will be prosecuted by the city prosecutor without cost to them snd, if convicted, and they then refuse to furnish the people thst make complaint Ice, If they have the money to pay tor It, and will telephone me, I will Instruct the chief of police to send a policeman out there and take charge of the driver, wagon and Ice, and I will further Instruct him to throw the driver In Jail, throw the Ice In the gutter and smash the wagon. "I hope that the men engaged in the Ice business will not force me to take any action of this kind, but I will promise them now that we will try it once and see how It works." Slabanarh Wants Testimony. County Attorney Slabaugh, In his Investi gation ot the case, s endeavoring to get hold of Douglas Armour, the man who struck out from the employ of the John Doe concern with a wagon of his own and began selling Ice at 40 cents a hundred. Armour made bold declarations about what he would do and tell, but now he has dropped from public view. The fact is he is out of business, according to his partner snd according to the people in Dundee and the West Farnam street whom he sup plied with ice. He has not been around for over a week and these people, most of them, are patronising the Ryan company, which has not gone quite to the limit of the trust prices. Armodr bought his Ice, as a matter of fact, from the People's Ice com pany at IS a ton. At the same time others were getting it from the same concern at tt a ton. One ot the firm was asked one day why Armour had to pay more and this was the reply: "He is talking too much to The Bee. We have to fine him Just SI a ton for breaking Into print. If he would keep still he could get tt for $4 a ton, too." Armour's friends say he could not stand prosperity, though had he kept his head be might have reaped a rich harvest, for "things were coming his way." Before he quit, however, he raised from 40 to SO cents a hundred, saying the people who were supplying him bad raised. HOW THE FIRES START Smokers Mora Careless Than Children In I'slntf Matches Holiday Outbreaks. Fewer fires are caused by children play ing with matches than by careless smokers, who throw away burning matches after lighting cigars, pipes, or cigarettes. ThU la what the official figures show, as they appear In the report of the fire commis sioner. Where only 244 children In all Greater New York caused fires by amusing themselves with matches and flame, 401 cigar, cUarette, and pipe smokers almost twice as many accomplished the same un fortunate results. There are lessons for the housekeeper as well as the householder In the compara tive showing of the various causes for fires, as stated in the report. To the credit of the smoker be It said that, on a basis of the estimated smoking poppulatlon of the metropolis, only one man In about 4.000 sets things afire. Yet, out of every hun dred Ores, the firemen have laid the blame of at least five at the door of the careless devotee of nicotine. Perhaps there Is some consolation for the smoker In the fact that one person In 600 Is credited with starling one of the 7,750 (Ires which occurred In 1906. In the household, the range, furnace, and heating pipes are shown to be well worth watching. From stoves alone 611 fires are reported to have sprung, and done some $100,000 worth of damage. Chimney fires, from defective flues snd similar causes, formed almost per cent of all the fires, while sparks from stoves, stove-pipes and chimneys caused I per cent more. Mora than ( per cent of all the fires In the city, the records show, were due to the use of gas In one form or another. Of these almost half were "curtain fires," caused by the blowing of curtains against Jets. Lamps were responsible for a little more than I per cent of all the Area, and candles a trifle over I per cent. Leas than 1 per cent were caused by elect rlo wiring for lights, power, and heat; only 76 of the 7,760 fires being reported as due to electri cal sources. Only 26 fires are credited to the gnawing mouse and the match. Tbe comic paper Joke of Bridget and the kerosene caa la practically unsupported by the report ef "Kerosene oil; carelessness with. In starting stove fires, 4." This Is next to the lesst cause for fires, vis., "Rekindling of previous flrre, I." The greatest source of fire Is "Matches; care lessness In the use of, 767." The holiday sesson of Christmas And Fourth of July are fruitful ones for fires. Fourteen fires were started from Christ mas trees last Christmas, and bonfires. firecrackers and fireworks were held re sponsible for slmost per cent of the year's fires. New York Post. ANOTHER WEBSTER LETTER InpabtUhed Playful Epistle Written by the Great Daniel In Ills Early Days. The Boston Transcript reproduces two heretofore unpublished letters of Daniel Webster, one of which, under dato of No vember 30, 1804, was written to Thomss W. Thompson, Esq., Salisbury, N. H., snd ad dress in Webster's own youthful hand writing. This was before the day of en velopes or postage stamps, and the letter contains the name of the person addressed only on Its outer side. The other, a de cidedly playful letter, was written earlier the same yesr and addressed to Miss Ellen Thompson of Newburyport. After Daniel Webster's graduation from college In 11 he studied In the law office of Mr. Thompson, but needing funds he In terrupted this study to teach In the aca demy at Fryeburg. Me., for some months. He did not go to Boston to study for ad mission to the bsr till 104, when he left Salisbury "for the last time." I. ., as a place of residence. He refers in the play ful letter to this fact; snd the letter, writ ten In 1804 (to Mr. Thompson of Salisbury), asking for a certificate, 'etc., shows that in this sense he had then left Salisbury for the last time." This Indicates that the two letters were written about the name time, that Is, one in July and the other In No vember of tbe same year. Mr. Webster was not married until four years later. These letters came Into the possession of Mr. Parker Noyes, whose first wife was Miss Ellen Thompson, to whom the more playful epistle wss addressed.. Mr. Noyes, owing to HI health, retired early In life from the practice of law to his farm in FrankJIn, n. H., where for many years he was the neighbor, as well as the friend, of Mr. Webster, whose farm In Franklin Is now a state orphanage. The letters have come down In the family of Mr. Noyes, and are now In the possession of a grand niece of his second wife. Miss Har riet McEwen Kimball, who now resides in Portsmouth, N. H. The letter to Miss Thompson reads: El.en: ,U,y 12th' Do you think you have charity enough to forgive me for detaining the enclosed I. ln mv hands a whole fortnight 7 What do you think has been the cause of this? Negligence or accident? or was it done on purpose to give me an opportunity of writing this by way of apology T Form your own conjecture I can't explain. Well. Ellen, I am a free, single, untied man again. I have passed thro' the whole drama of matrimony, & must say, on the whole, It la not so bad as one would ex pect. Am now a widower, ln weeds, As soon ss my mourning Is off. I am resolved to apply to Mabel, Elen & Phebe to get me married again a good deal stronger. I left P. in good health At fine spirits she did not appear to look round on E. A. as her abiding place. At Fryeburg I was told by such as I suppose knew, that It was quite certain that she was to be an Inhabitant of that village. Tomorrow I leave here for Boston, & place of his nativity without some little oonsider myself ss leaving Salisbury for the last x time. One does not quit the regret; however unpleasant, it Is still home A home, though there should be a thousand disagreeable things about it, has a strong hold on the heart. The regret which I feel on this removal is not a little heightened by the consideration that it puts It more out of my power to culti vate the acquaintance of the Newbury P. folks. I always wish to nurture -every little plant of friendship which offers. In time, to produce pleasant fruit. But 'tis the misfortune of our kind, often to be removed from the opportunity of cherish ing a begun much valued acquaintance. I never think of this allotment of human nature without sighing. Mr. Mrs. Thomp son & children are all In good health. There Is nobody else here whom you are concerned to know about. If there should be such a person, I believe he Is very well. will not Mabel 4 Elen consider aa a friend D. WKR8TER. P. 8. When you write to P. give her the love of a divorced husband. MENACE OF CANNED MUSIC Machine Made Article Fearfully aad WonderfnUy Mndo, and Then Some. Right here Is the menace to machine made music t The first rift in the lute has appeared. The cheaper of these Instru ments of the home are no longer being purchased as formerly, and all because the automatic music devices are usurping their places. And what Is the result? The child be comes Indifferent to practice, for when music can be heard ln the homes without the labor of study and close application, and without the slow process of acquiring a technique, it will be simply a question of time when the amateur disappears en tirely, and with him a host of vocal and Instrumental teachers, who will be without field or calling." Then what of the national throat? Will it not weaken? What of the national chest? Will It not shrink? When a mother can turn on the pho nograph with the same ease that ahe ap plies to the electric light, will she croon her baby to slumber with sweet lullabys, or will the Infant be put to sleep by ma chinery?

L BOARD HONORS ROSEWATER County Commissioners Adopt Resolution on Death, Payintr Him Tribute. CONFIRMS PLAN AS TO CHANGE OF ROOMS Judge Troop's Office Will Be Trans ferred to Court House ln Old Scavenger Department Booms. - The county commissioners, at their regu lar meeting Saturday morning, adopted res. Gluttons on the death ut Edward Rose-, water. The resolutions were presented by a committee, consisting of Kennard, Solo mon and Ure, who were appointed by Chairman Bruning at a meeting of the board a week ago. They are as follows: Wh.na. A Hl.dnir.if.hAil A Omaha, one Identified with every movement ! for the upbuilding of the city, county and ' state, and known throughout the lund for ' ability and success In his chosen field of labor, has been called to his final reward, I and, Whereas, 'The Board of County Commls- ' sinners of the county which was his home ' for forty years, of whone history ho Is no '. mean part, wishes to make public, record of Its appreciation of the value of his life and achievements; therefore be It Resolved, That In the death of Edward Rosewater the county, state and nation have lost a nun of great energy and abil ity, cuisen or intense loyalty and a serv- I ant of untiring Industry, whose career Is j iuhikou uy suoHianiiai monuments 01 nis faith ln the future of the city, county and state; and, Resolved, That this board extend to his family Its sympathy in their bereavement; and be it Resolved. Thst these resolutions be spread upon the permanent record of the proceed ings of this board, and that an engrossed copy of the same be transmitted to the family of he deceased. Plan for Removal Con Armed. The board by unanimous vote confirmed the plan of the court house and jail com mittee for the use of the rooms vacated by County Treasurer Fink and his staff when they moved to the city hall. Under thla plan the equity courts of Judge Troup and Day will be moved from The Bee building to the court house and will be placed In the old scavenger department room and the room now used as court room No. i. Court room No. 4 will be moved Into the old county treasurer's office, i The former bookkeepers' room will be occupied as private office by the judge using the scavenger rooms across the hall. This plan will not require any changes In the arrangements of the rooms. Tho board will open bids next Saturday for the repairing of the rooms. Mr. Ure introduced a resolution, which was -passed, calling a meeting of the county board and the heads of depart ments in the court house to talk over suggestions for changes in state laws to be asked of the next legislature. Mr. Solomon voted against the resolution be cause It contained an appended list of suggested changes formulated by Ure. Mr. Solomon opposed making suggestions until the meeting was called, when evory one present might offer Ideas. No Grsdisc Bid Yet. No bid has been received for the grad ing of West Q street, which was the first work ordered under the Inheritance tax law, and the board decided to extend the tlmo tot making bids until next Saturday. A new advertisement was ordered In serted. Only one bid waa received for the elec trical display at the court house during Ak-Sar-Bun week. It was submitted by the American Electrical company, which proposed to Install the usual display for 140 and add festoons of electric lights and Japanese lanterns for an additional $60. No action was taken on the bid. The resignation of Miss Augusta Cooper, superintendent of nurses at the County hospital, was received and accepted and the board authorised the County hospital committee to present her with a brooch similar to the one given to the graduating class of nurses at the commencement ex ercises. Miss Cooper will leave in a few days for the eest. where she has accepted a position. The question of raising the salary of Frank Dewey, deputy county clerk, to I lit was settled by appointing him cus todian of the voting machines at a salary of t!S a month.

WALKING TOURS BY MAPS A Government Atlas Which Shows the Topography of tho Entire Country. While the majority of the - people who visit greater fields and pastures new ln summer select the conventional hotel or boarding house, where they may exist with all the comfort of home, aa It is put ln the language of hotel circulars, there are many who sigh for a change from the euchre parties, the piazza gossip and the trivial things that go toward making up a day In the average summer resort. To such. If they have time ln plenty and strength as well, a walking tour or Journey a-wheel, or, perhaps, . by carriage. Is a pleasant change, and the advantages of a vacation spent in such a way are manifold. Whether the destination be the wilds of Maine, the White mountains of New Hamp. shire, the Berkshire hills or the rolling hills of Vermont, many charming places may be found far from the whistle of tho locomotive and to all appearances removed a great distance from the outer world. Happy is he who starts on such a Journey, knowing not where !)ie may go, simply ex ploring the country at his ewn sweet will, by use of the topographical maps which ths government of the United States is so busily preparing and constantly perfecting. Complete snd accurate maps of the coasts, rivers and land surface are prepared by the United States geological survey, three scales being used. This work was begun In 1S82, and now one-.'ourth the total area. Including Alaska, has been mapped. . The largest scale Is ons mile to the Inch. An other scale shows two miles to the Inch, while the third and smallest ahows four miles to the Inch. According to this, a map of the United States would necessarily be of great size, since the distance from New Tork to San Francisco is 3.000 miles, so far convenience ln printing and surveying, these msps havs been reduced to sheets of atlas size. The dimensions of the maps are 18Hx21H Inches, and the map occupies a space 17H Inches In height and 11 H to It Inches In width. Great care is taken as to detail, and on these sheets sre shown the Important fea tures of the country, such as' water or drainage under one heading, relief under another and culture under a third. Water, the first division. Includes sens, lakes, livers, ponds, lurgs snd small streams, canals, swamps, etc., the signs de noting these features being ln blue. The small canala and streams are In blue water lines and the larger lakes, streams, seas, etc., In blue water lining. A rounded eminence Is shown by elliptical contours, and as a guide to the eye every fifth is heavier than the four preceding, while on it figures are given showing ths exact elevation above sea level. One may, with but little experience, soon become able to tell from one of these msps the exact contour of the country.

Perhsps the most Interesting of all of the queen's gifts was the "vinegar Bible," still to be seen In the church.
