General Manager Mohler formally announced that the mam moth new headquarter building of tha com jinny will b erected at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, nnd It was offlclally given out that the McKecn motor ira will be manufactured In Omaha, by the Union Pacific company. ' After aeveral months' work on the part of Its real estate agents the company haa eeured a tract of 11 feet on Fifteenth treat and 198 feet on Dodge street, and will erect tta new building there, probably next Bummer. Born crltlclem la made on the choice of a aite, but to this Mr. Mohler repllea by pointing to the postofflce, one block away, as the one building In Omaha which will never be moved. How many stories high the building will be haa not been determined. Plans haa been drawn tor a structure 132 feet square, but with the Kite a different size the plans will hay to be worked over entirely. To make room for the headquarters the Kenna.nl building of three atorlea, tho Brown building of three atertea. the Willis block .of three atorlea and the Ieh dwelling house of one story must -be removed. It will now devolve upon the Labor Temple association to look but for soma one to build It a home, or for some one who al ready has a good building to lease. The association has started a building fund, but as yet It Is not very large. A lease which the association holds on the building will expire next March, and by that time an other must be found. - Tears ago some of Omaha's pioneer land marks stood on the lots recently bought by the Union Pacific. . The old govcrnmpn corrall occupied a pnrt of the ground. On one of the lots waa Watori th flrat school in Omaha. Jt was a private Institution known as the Beals school, and taught by Prof. Beals, who afterwards became prlncl pal of the Omaha High school. W. H. Thomas Is one of the men who get hunches and act on them. Mr. Thomas bad a hunch that the Union Pacific was negotiating for the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets, so he went quietly to Frank Kennard and secured an option on his building, en the very cor ner, at a figure of 140,000. When Mr. Ken nard solved the situation he offered Mr, Thomas 1100 to release the option. Mr. Thomas would not release It, for ha wanted to see the Union Pacific fulfill Its promises by erecting a headquarters build ing. By refusing the iiqo ha got some- thing near $1,000 from the Union Pacific Mr. Thomas might have made $5,000, but he says he la not In the holdup business. The Real Estate exchange promises to become active In an agitation to compel the street railway company to extend Its Suburban lines and build cross-town lines. The matter was talked over at the regular meeting last Wednesday and soma very cauatlo things were said about the com pany. A committee, constating of C. F. Harrison, Byron R. Hastings, J. H. Du mont, H. F. Wyman and W. H. Thomas, was appointed to investigate and report next Wednesday. The investigation will lead the members of the committee Into a study of remedial legislation. They will also consider the advisability of the mu nicipal building of line from the circum ference to the center of the city to bring traffic from the Interurban, In case the Omaha Street Railway company refuses to allow the use of Its lines under reasonable conditions. Property south of Ieavenworth street and for three or four blocks on either side of Twenty-fourth street Is becoming more desirable than It was a few years ago, now that a street car line down Twenty-fourth -street Is an assured fact. There Is a lot of good property in the neighborhood, but it has not been worth as much as it should be, owing to the dis tance from car line and paved atreeta. Now Twenty-fourth atrect la being paved and the laying of track la proceeding at a rata which promises the completion of the line by tha time of cold weather. Talking on the subject of abstracts be fore the Real Estate exchange last Wednes day, W. H. ThomHB. who wt recorder el years In an Iowa county, said' that In theft county the recorder examines the abstracts and. certifies them when the plat la made. N thereby leaving It unnecessary to take an Detract oacK or mc piai. air. i nonius laid there Is no reason why such a system cannot be used here. N. P. Podire went Mr. Thomas one better and recommended the TorrenB system, used In Illinois, by which the purchaser needa the abstract only In the one transaction In order to Inaure clear title to his property. Among the new buildings which have Just been begun Is that of Shlmer & Chase at the northwest corner of Nineteenth and Harney at reels. Among the Omaha realty men there are a number who deal In western Nebraska lands, aa well as In city houses and lota. Every week they are sending out prospec tive settlors from Omaha. .who have come from Iowa, llllnola and many of them from astern Nebraska. The railroads have thousands of inqulrlea from many states from people who want to get farms in this state of plenty. Just ss an Instance of the westward movement, the Union Pacific last Tuesday took seventy-five people to Sidney, fofty t Lodge Pole, thirty-live to Ogaliilla, twenty-five to Julesburg and a number to other Nebraska towns. The Burlington re ports a big movement of settlers to the North Platte valley. W. Faraam Smith reports the following recent sales: - To Robinson 4k Wolf, for Investment, four cottages at Thirty-fust and Bowaxd; to Harry Qorss, for Invest tnent, lot aud store buildings at Twenty seventh and Q atreeta South Omaha; to J. N. Crawford, for a home, lot at Twenty- A. W. SCRIBKER'S eighth and Spauldlng; to George Zlmmer and William Zlmmer, on which to build homes, two lots at Twenty-third and Fort; to Lena Trior son, for Investment, two cot tages at Thirty-third and Spauldlng; to Mrs. Emma Headley, one lot at Twenty- first street and Fowler avenue. Bricklaying haa been begun on the new flvo-story commissary house of the Union Pacific, just west of the Eleventh street viaduct It Is expeoted to finish tha walls before cold weather comes. Mrs. Fanny Rerchenberp: has brought from J. W. Akin, through J. H. Dumont & Bon, for IS, 800, tha seven-room housa at 2664 Douglas street. The purchase was for Investment alone. CUT IN NEXT COUNTY LEVY Sobstaatlal Itedactlon, Board Thinks, Can Be Mad for Slew Year. The county commissioners are of the oplrion a substantial cut can be made in next year's county levy as a result of the excellent condition of county finances shown by County Treasurer Fink's state ment published Friday. "I am satisfied we can make at least a I mill cut in the levy next year," aaid Commissioner Ure of the finance committee Saturday morning. "My Idea Is at present we can reduce the road and the bridge funda 1 mills each and still keep .the finances In good condition." The levy for this year is IB 4-10 bills, which was a reduction of 4-10 mills from last year's levy. The majority of the com missioners favored only a small reduction in order that money enough to pay off the old back bills mWht be raised. Both the oounty officials and the creditors of the county are loud in their praises of the cash method of doing business. At present bills filed by the 10th of the month are allowed on the third Saturday of the month and paid at once. Formerly many creditors had to wait an entire year for their money. This Is not only a con venience to the people who sell supplies to the county, but It has been demonstrated, according to the commissioners, that it en ables the county to purchase supplies much cheaper because of tha prompt payment of bills. PINK EYE DAILY FAKE BURST Plpa Dream About Rowlaad Wllllsma Meeting Footaada Denied by Mr. Williams. "No highwayman attempted to hold me up and I did not strike any robbers and knock them down, and neither did I tell any reporters that I had been the principal in a holdup." The above la what Rowland Williams told Chief of Police Donahue Saturday morning, thus knocking the pins from un der the lead fake In the Pink Eye Friday afternoon. The Pink Eye blubbered over in a story to the effect that while returning home about 8:30 o'clock In the evening Mr. Wll liains was set upon by two highwaymen, who demanded hla cash and diamonds. The story had It that Williams struck out and floored both men who grabbed time by the forelock and escaped. The only wound ro celved by Williams, the pink dreamer said. was a severe cut in his forehead, which he received by missing his footing and failing at the steps of hla home. Mr. Williams haa a cut In his forehead which he re ceived by falling on the stepa of his home, and this Is the foundation of the fake. Chief Donahue reported Mr. Williams In formed him there was abaolutely no truth In the holdup atory. RESTING PLACE IS FATAL Man Sits litws aa Tracks aad Train Haas Over and Kills Him.

TRANSMUTED DROSS TO GOLD Wondsri of Chemiitry Wroneht by 8ir William Henry Parkin. AMERICA HONORS COAL TAR WIZARD How He Utilised Waste from Gas Re - torts, Once Thrown Amay, to Create Infold Wealth Namerons Byproducts. Had Sir William Henry Perkln, the prin cipal guest at the Perkln jubilee of the coal tar Industry, lived a few centuries ago he would have been hailed as a thaumaturgist and alchemist. He is the man whose dis covery of the color mauve, fifty years ago, while working as an assistant in an English laboratory, revealed the magic which lurked In coal tar. Great Britain and Oermany have done him honor this year in recogni tion of the fiftieth anniversary of his pio neer researches which opened the way for an Industrial revolution and gave a new Impetus to the development of synthetic chemistry. Usually there is little In sympathy be tween captains of Industry and men of the Perkln stamp, who devote their lives to pure science, but the leaders of great man ufacturing trades throughout the world have joined In the tribute to this venerable savant. Every prominent manufacturer In the United States whose business Is in any way connected with chemistry is interested in the testimonial. The banquet held in his honor at Delmonlco's was attended both by scientists and by those who direct great commercial enterprises. Tho worlds of the practical and the theoretical met on common ground in paying tribute to one who haa a long record, not only for his experiments In the laboratory, but also as a successful manufacturer. Before the discovery of Perkln, coal tar. which is the black liquid obtained from the distillation of coal In the manufacture of illuminating gas, was rejected. It was then the problem how to get rid of it. The throwing of it into streams produced trouble everywhere, and there was conflict between the manufacturers and the health authorities. The material was once given away to all who asked for It. It was not until about seventy years ago that some Ingenious German ascertained that the thick, atlcky liquid could be used In pre- serving wood. A limited quantity was em ployed In painting paper laid on the roofs of houses. These uses were limited, how ever, and millions of barrels of the com modity went to waste. Worth 6o.OOO,MM a Year. Some Idea of what Sir William Henry Perkln has done for the Industry may be gathered from the fact that now 120,000 men are employed throughout the world In manufacturing valuable products from what was once considered worthless, and that the coal tar products of Germany alone are sold for $60,000,000 a year. The substances which are produced from what waa once considered as the refuse of gas retorts are numbered by the thousands. The discovery of Perkin gave birth to the nianufaeturo of synthetical medicinal agents, antiseptics and exVloslves. It is estimated that there are fully 1,000 dyes alone which have been developed from coal tar. Scores of articles used in the arts and In medicines now found In common use had their origin In the black fluid which formerly waa only a source of annoyance to those who produced It as an Incident to the manufacture of lllumlnants. William Henry Perkln was born in Lon don on March 12, 1838. He received his early education at the city of London school and his tastes at once led hlra In the direction of science, to which he has devoted his life. He went to the Royal College of Chemistry, in Oxford street, London, where his progress was so rapid that when he waa only 17 years old he became assistant to the head of the institution. Dr. A. W. Hoffman, a j aisunguisnea uerman scientist. He was so Interested in his experiments that he worked In private researches at night and on holidays. His preceptor had gone over to Germany in 1856 to spend the Eaater vacation, leaving hla young assistant in charge of the laboratory. The youthful Perkln was working on the theory that it would be possible to produce quinine artlncally, and In so doing he oxidised aniline. The product he obtained waa ani line, purple or mauve, and the method in which It was produced Indicated to the resourceful discoverer that he bad found the key to a new Industry. Patented the Prodaet. When Dr. Hoffman returned a few weeks later he found that his assistant had laid his plans for manufacturing the new prod uct, which he had patented. Atdud by his father and brother young Perkln es- Skalcd Package OTCCTI0n r-it 'fKfi.li ft F. W. tabllshed a factory at Greenford Green, near Harrow, In 1S57, and by the end of the year was selling the dye in large quantifies. He worked out the way of obtaining the raw material and of apply ing the dye, and before he was 20 was spoken of as a successful man. All that has been done since rests upon his work. He made another notable advance in 1868, when he made it possible to produce the valuable dye alizarin, or artificial madder red, on a large scale, although before It had been made only as a curiosity of the laboratory and at a practically prohibitive cost. He made a fortune out of it, and it was not until 187S that Germany became a dangerous competitor In the making of coal tar products. He also laid the foundations of the arti ficial perfume Industry by the discovery of a method for preparing coumnrin. tho odoriferous principle of the tonka bean, which forms an important ingredient In many scents. Ccumarln was the first so called "natural perfume ever produced in a laboratory." In the course of the in vestigations he made In ascertaining the sources of perfumes he discovered processes which were of great value in the manufac ture of artificial Indigo. Prof. Perkln retired from business In the early '70s and devoted himself entirely to scientific research, aa he had gained a sub stantial competence. Germany, after the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian war, sought a means of employing Its sons in the arts of peace, and found a large field in the manufacture of coal tar products. Chemists, following the path biased by Perkln, widened It and made It a highway to wealth. A group ef five of the great coal tar product houses of the Fatherland Is valued at I2S.000.000 and they send their products to all parts of the world. One of them alone employs 4,500 men, of whom 1.200 are skilled artisans, 146 graduated chemists, 175 engineers and COO clerks. The others are unskilled labor ers whose services are utilised In carrying about the products and In assisting at various stages of the complicated opera tions. This company protects Its wares with 1.500 German patents and 1,400 In Europe and the United States. Chemists find that the number of prod ucts produced from coal tar up to the present time is practically unlimited. It Is asserted that with a certain class of dye stuffs, c6mbined with materials now known, that 100,000,000 chemical bodies may be built, Some Idea of the advance which has been made in the coal ' tar products Industry ma fathered from the fact that as early as 1875 a leading chemical journal an nounced that there had been extraoted seven acids, fourteen alkaline substances and ten neutral bodies, adding that "with many of these chemists themselves, accuj tomed though they be to strange meta morphoses, were amazed at the results of their own investigations." Vaat Variety af Prodaeta. Some idea of the nature of the producta derived from coal tar may be gained by a glance at the list of perfumes and ar- j Uncial easential oils. It includes nltro- benzol and the allied benzaldehyde, which are also both known as the artificial oil of almonds; oil of wintergreen, vanillin, amar,n helloUopln. musk, jasmin and nerolln. The place of sugar la taken by a powerful sweetener known as saccharin. Among the products acid, hydroqulnone, metol ad adurol. Among the explosives may be mentioned picrio acid, lyddite, me linite, maximlte and jovlte, all derived from coal tar products. Pyridine, which Is used in the denaturatlon of grain alco hol, is one of the later products of the coal tar researches. Some of the liquids and substances used In surgery and medicine, which were brought to the knowledge of man from investigations growing out of i the discoveries of Perkln, axe carbollo acid, i sallcylio acid, acetanilld, phenactelne, sal- Iphenal, aspirin and mesotan. Antlnon nlne, which is uaed in preventing dry rot In lumber, ia also of coal tar origin. "These raw coal tar materials," said Dr. Hugo Schweitzer, a prominent chemlat, j "furnlih dyejtuffs, artificial perfumes. artificial aweetenera, explosives, medi cines, preservatives and photographlo developers.' What they will furnish in the future la a matter of conjecture, but If you will permit me to prophesy I think that we shall surely find remedies which will cure consumption and other diseases caused by bacterial Infection. We ahall have perfumes which will be stronger and moro beautifully scented than anything which nature can produce. We ahall find explosives which will not endanger human lives, but will be more effective than nitro glycerine and all others known at present. Ws shall be able to preserve foods for any length of time without Injuring the health of the consumer. My Imagination Is not vivid enough to picture to you future de velopments, but chemists will not shrink from the problem, and their skill will con tinue to confer lasting benefits upon hu manity." Prof. Perkln Is still In tha active prac tice of his profession and is engaged even now upon further reaearches along the lines which brought to hlr his early reputa tion. He was entertained by chemists and man ufacturers from all parts of the country. At the banquet held at Delmonlco's there was presented to him a medal and also a silver service. The committee which had In charge the Perkln Jubilee of the coal tar Industry In America will also take steps to found a library as a memorial to the work of tha distinguished scientist whom they honor this month. Similar rec ognition has been accorded to the discov erer In London, where there was a public meeting In his honor at the Mansion house, over which the lord mayor presided. He was knighted by the king. The Germans and also committees formed In France and Switzerland joined In the movement.

SEEMING EXTRAVAGANCE SOMETIMES PAYS Large Retarns from aa Aato, a Pull man Car Seat and a. Good Dinner One Mast Be Able to Bee Things- "Save your pennies and dimes, young gentlemen," the lecturer, a college profes sor, advised his audience. "Never spend a dollar If you can help it; forego the lux uries; live plainly, be economical and you will be successful." "That was not very Intelligent advice," remarked a bank president as be left the hall. "Without qualifying his directions, he was pointing those young men to a life of drudgery. Big affairs are not managed In that way nowadays." "But on a college professor's salary they have to be." "Probably; but business Is another thing. For InBtance, when I bought an automobile my friends said I was indulging in wild extravagance. They foresaw that I would land in the poorhouse and pitied my family. My family did not worry about it greatly, for the swift rides In the park did every member good, and I did not say much about the cost of the machine. "One day there came to town the repre sentative of the biggest contracting firm In the east, desirous of looking over the city with a view of placing Investments. A dozen of us met him at the cafe and talked through a six-course dinner. Then plans were discussed for the guest's enter tainment the following day. " 'Harris has an auto,' some one said, and of course It was arranged that I should take the visitor for a ride. "I did so, spent the most of the day with him; we became well acquainted; he seemed to like me, and before he started home he offered me the western manage ment of his company's financial affairs. I had no better chance than the others save for the automobile. That brought the op epportunity. '1 am 8300,000 ahead already through the connection, with more to come. I could have got along probably without a ma chine, but It was an Investment that paid the largest return of any I ever made." A Good Investment. One rainy evening a newspaper man walked along the line of railway coaches In a noisy union station. His ride home would take half the night. He debated with him self whether or not he should take a Pull man. The fare In the Pullman was 75 cents. He could save that amount by riding In the ordinary car, but tha ordinary car was crowded and ho dreaded the crowd and the weary companions with whom he would associate in the coach. Still, 76 cents was not to be despised, and he pandered the problem for several minutes. At last the attractions of the Pullman In rest and preparation for the following day's work won; he gave hla grip to the porter, and aat back in the section assigned him. In solid satisfaction. After dinner In tha dining car he went to the smoking room and found there the only other man on the sleeper, the agent for a manufacturing firm of the busy north west. "Have a light T" waa tha opening of their acquaintance. Then came tha Inevitable western saluta tion, when the emblem of the coat label la observed. "Where do you belong?" Both were members of the same lodge. Following that came a friendly talk, and the manufacturer told the newspaper man many Interesting experiences, not noticing that the latter kept a very eager question ing in operation. The conductor of the train stopped to take part In the conversa tion, and finally the auperintendent of the division, who was aboard, dropped In and the pecullarltlea of modern machinery mak ing methods waa thoroughly gone over. It was nearly midnight when the news paper man reached home, but he sat down to bis typewriter snd rattled the keys for an hour before tumbling Into bed. He simply put Into readable form some of tha things that had been told him that evening, and a check for 875 was the payment that his story brought him. He always rides In the Pullman car now when he travels and says that ha shall con- I tlnue to do so until tha 876 gives out. He nas never maae so gooa a speculation as on the occasion mentioned, but ho has mingled with people who have helped him In many ways and will continue to help him fer many years to coma Hers was a case where the expenditure of a few cents brought a rich return. It might not always prove possible and the lesson might fall to come true In many Instances. But tha faot remains that the man who la trying to get on In the world must meet the people who do things If be expects to accomplish his ends. It Is good policy, as well aa good comfort, to rub against the leaders In business affairs. Patting Is Good Front. There was a young man of Kansas City who bad the business Intelligence neces sary to success, but ha had little oppor tunity to exercise It. He hesitated one evening whether he should take dinner at a cheap restaurant or should eat at one of the cafes patronized by the beat people of the city. He clioso the latter, and this is what happened: "Corns over to our table," was the In vitation that came from a fritnd, and he accepted. k lie waa Introduced to a widow who owned fr ' IT "sa. a piece of ground lying close to tha business part of the city, but which had never been utilized for building pin-poses. He found In his conversation with her that she needed a steady income and finaly told her he would take a lease on tha ground for ninety-nine years at 8125 a month, and she made the bargain. On this lease he borrowed $25,000 and built an office building that rents for enough to pay the Interest and give him a profit of 8750 a month. He haa nothing to do but collect his money, and the rental value of his property increases dally, as the city is growing In that section. The dinner In tha first-class cafe was the start; but, of course, it took business acumen and ability to carry on the enter prise after he had it started. The man full of apprehension might eat In the cafe for months and make no headway finan cially. The young man who seeks to get ahead must have something mora than oppor tunity. He ought to sea the best way to do things as well. Thrown on His Own Re so a roe. Sometimes the chance of the young mac depends quite as much on others as on himself, and he has reason to thank tha fates which throw him on his own re sources. He finds that hs must meet the conditions and does so, testing the fiber of his nature and proving tha stuff of which he is made. A son of a New Tork lawyer became worthless that the fattier to separata him from the girl ha wanted to marry sunt him west with only money enough to pay his fare and expenses, but armed with authority to draw on a waatern bank up to 85,000. The young man drew $2,000, landed In eastern Colorado and sought work among tha sheep ranches of tha Irrigated lands. In a week he sent for more money and later for all that he could have. Then few months after came a message: "Will be In city Saturday with ten cars of sheep. Meet me." "Ten cars of sheep! What lunacy Is tha young man up to now?" exclaimed tha father. But the youth came, and ha had ten cars of young sheep that had been fattened on alfalfa and cottonseed meal, ready for the top prioe in the market. He sold tha bunch and showed a draft for IUO0O. "I made soma money out there and the rest la out of tha sheep. I don't owe any thing. Take out $5,000, dad; I am going to call on Carrie." I now managing a big sheep ranch In New Mexico, with prospects of becoming far ' wealthier than the father. A Red Liner. Likewise little things give an index to the character of tha young man. For in stance, the editor of a country newspaper waa called to the telephone and heard message from a real estate man in a neigh boring town. "What will it coat to put an advertise ment in red on the middle of your front page?" Now the editor did not print a yellow Journal and It meant a great deal of work to run the paper through the press twice. so be named a price that ha thought would be prohibitive. 'All right," was tha response. 'But do you. understand?" asked tha ed itor, thinking tha dealer did not get the right figures. "Of course; do as I tell you." So the ad. vertlsement was placed In red and the bill was paid. The farm advertised was sold; no on could help seeing the announcement. The young real estate man la now president of an oil and gaa company that paya divi dends on more than a million dollars of stock, and his wealth Is estimated at $100,000. This la not great aa fortunes go, but it is a great deal In tha west, where money comes in more slowly. Balldlnar l'p a Reputation. Likewise It Is a good thing to build up a reputation that can be sustained. "I have to be careful." aald the bank president already quoted, discussing the various estimates of the young men of the town, "because I began that way. "I know one wealthy banker who never wears clothes that cost more than $16 suit; who Is careless of bis personal appear. anoe, never paya his store debts until forced to do It and Is reckless In his actions. Yet he makes money. "If I were to fall to pay my bills on tha first of the month, or should I take to wearing old clothes, or should I ba seen in fast company, there would ba a run on the bank the next day. People would think something waa wrong. "It the other banker should suddenly take to good dressing, hla bank would ba under suspicion. People around us are educated by our actions) and learn what to expect of us. When wo vary from our usual course they suspect danger. "I never loan freely to a young man who Is educating tha community to expect a poor performance from him. It may ba that he will succeed, but tha chances are agalnat him because ha is nearer to tha bottom than the man who has a proper pride In himself and in his own standing." That la not, perhaps, a very profound philosophy, but It Is laden with truth. Tha chance for tha oung man la largely his awn making. "But there are not so many chances and money goes faster than It uaed to In tha old days," complains the youth. To quote the bank president again: "I wish I were young onoa more. There are more chances for clean, bright young men who know how to uae wisely what they earn than aver before." He was a poor boy himself and has been through It all. New York Sun. WATCHES-Frenzer, Uth and Dodge Mayor Dahlman Saturday morning affixed his signature to the Helm-Pollock-Parmele telephone franchise ordinance paasod by the city council last Tuesday evening and handed to the mayor by the city clerk Thursday morning. Notwithstanding many letters received by the mayor from parties urging against the signing of the ordi nance by the mayor, that official thought It Incumbent upon himself at leaat to af ford the voters an opportunity to express themaelvea on election day aa to whether they wanted to give another telephone company a franchise In Omaha. The mayor said he did not allow his personal opinions on the subject to affect his official act In the telephone matter. "Personally I do not favor the dual tele phone syatem Idea, but believe that Inas much as the council has put the ordinance up to me, I should not atand in the way of allowing the people an opportunity to vote on the measure," stated Mayor Dahlman. The ordinance Is now In line for tha mayor's proclamation and for a place on the voting machines now being put tn order for election day. A. Von Hoffman, promoter for tha Oate City Telephone company, Saturday morn ing reiterated his Intention to restrain tha mayor from Issuing the proclamation on the grounds the advertising of tha ordi nance was Irregular. Mr. Von Hoffman said ha found three other defects In tho ordinance. E. P. Smith, attorney for tha Gate City company, declined to state Sat urday morning what action ha would take against the Helm ordinance, but intimated ha might take soma aotlon next week, SCHUCHARDTCASE GOES OUT Marital Hlx-Vn Invalvlnar Daaaaaa alt ta Dismissed After Tear In Ooart. The ease brought by Edmund L. O. Bchuchardt aver a year and a half ago agalnat Charles P. DeuUman, a relative of his, for $10,600 damages for the alienation of his wife's affections, has been dis missed. The case followed a sensational divorce episode, Mrs. Bchuchardt secured a divorce from her husband and within three days went to Council Bluffs and mar- lied Deutxman.
