A .collision between a swiftly moving
ireet car and a heavily loaded coal wagon
or la M. ih arena at 1:0. at Tenth ana jaca-
nn streets, about 10:1s Wadneaoav morn
ing, demolished the fender and front p.at-
iefm of the car and caused serious I murine
to Henrv Olmstead. the driver or taa
wages, who was thrown from the wagon
and struck on his head and shoulder.
Olmstead was taken to tha city Jail and
attended by Police Surgeons Harris 'and
Pugsley. It la not believed Ms skull Is
fractured, but he was suffering severely
front ..the shock arid it is thought on or
two ,of his ribs may be fractured. The
'train crew and passengers were not in
jured, -with the exception of Claude
Walker, a colored boy. who Uvea at S40I
South fifth street, who was tiding on the
front platform and bad his hands cut by
broken glass.
Motorman L. K. Baumgarten and Con
ductor F. B. Baker, who were In charge
of the car. No. 184. said Olmstead tried to
cross the tracks In front! of their car, Which
was southbound and was going swiftly
from the impetus received by running down
the viaduct. Motorman Baumgarten said
h aa.w that a collision could not be avoided
and rang the gong to warn the driver of
his danger. The tracks were covered with
moisture and, though sand was applied and
the current reversed, the car could not be
stopped and struck the wagon a glancing
blow near the front wheels.
The wagun was loaded with two tons of
anthracite coal and the Impact was some
thing terrific. Olmstead was pitched to
the street and taken to the police elation in
an ambulance. The rear wheel of the
coal wagon was broken by the force of the
blow and coal was scattered all over the
car tracks and even into the vestibule of
tha car. .The colored boy was standing to
tha left of tha motorman and oeuld not
get out of the way of the flying glass. The
fender of the car was completely wrecked.
while every pan of glaas in the motorman'
vestibule was smashed to bits.
Only a few passengers were on the car
at the time of tha accident and they es
caped with a severe shaklng-ap.
Olmstead ia married and Uvea at 1520 Cass
street, where he was taken aa soon as bis
condition would permit.
Women Who Wear T7eH.
It Is astonUhlng how great a change a
few years of married !lfo often make tn
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The fresh neat, the charm, the
brllllanc vanish like the bloom from a
peach which U rudely handled. The
matron U only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons lor mis cnance, ignorance ami
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through th
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many nsglect to deal with
jcatbe unpleasant polvlc drains and weak
nesaes which too often com with mar
rlage and motherhood, pot understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of IU freshness and ths form of Its
fairness.

Atrocity.
Arrested on the charge of annoying
women and girls, a colored man giving
the name of Prank Smith and the residence
of Fort Dodge, la.. Is undergoing the most
rigid investigation at the hands of the
Omaha police for the purpose of determln
Ing whether he had any connection with
the atrocious murder of Josephine Rummel
hart In the fall.
Smith was arrested ' early Wednesday
morning by a posse of outraged men near
Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets. He
escaped radical treatment at the hands of
these men because they happened to be a
cool set of citizen, but, nevertheless, de
termined.
They arrested the negro on the charge
that he Is th Individual who had been an

They immediately turned In an alarm to

Detective Heitfeldt hastened in an emer

the negro seen ao often tn th vicinity of
Twenty-fourth, between Vinton and Cas
tellar streets, attempting to seise women
and girls, or making remarks at them.
The men In that vicinity have been "lay
ing" for him for some time. They think
they are not mistaken in the captive. Th
strangest feature of this fellow's cas is
that his annoying presence was observed
In that neighborhood just prior to the
Rummelhart murder, and with that shock
ing crime he aa completely disappeared as
if he had been swallowed up by the earth,
nor was he seen or heard of there again
until a few days ago, when th trap was
laid to catch him.
Th negro Is noncommittal, but Captain
Mostyn declares he will be subjected to
the most searching Inquiry for th purpose
of determining his connection, if he has
any, with that crime which shocked Omaha
so severely a few months ago and upon
whose perpetrator not a suspect has ever

DIVISION SYSTEM TO BE ESTABLISHED
Old Department Plan Will Bo Re
ed, with th Establlnhment
Also of Additional Brlg
ad Posts.
It Is not yet definitely known at Depart
ment of the Missouri headquarters who Is
to command the department after January
1. The officials are all at sea regarding
the new commander, but nil are looking
for some significant changes after January
1, not in the matter of any particular
changes in the personnel of th department
staff, but in the general rearrangement of
departmental lines.
After January 1 the military division sys
tem will be abolished and th old depart
ment system resumed, with the additional
establishment of brigade posts. The posts
of the Department of the Missouri that
are likely to be made brigad post are
Forts Leavenworth. Riley and D. A, Rus
sell, and probably Fort Meade, 8. D.; Fori
Des Moines, Ia., and Fort Robinson, Neh
One of the purposes of creating brtgadr
posts Is to concentrate the troop In'largei
bodies, abolish the smaller posts and t
provide commands suitable to the rank of
th brigadier generals. The departments
will naturally, therefore, become commands
for major generals. The most Important
of the departmenta of the west will be tho
Department of the Missouri, with head
quarters at Omaha. Its lines will remain
th same as at present, which Include,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and
part of Wyoming, embracing tha poets of

CAR SHORTAGE. HITS HARD

World's See Primary

The car shortage and the consequent Im
possibility of moving th Nebraska corti
crop as fast as It might have been mar
keted under more favorable conditions; ha
lost for Omaha, the chance to closing the
year as the world's second primary corn
market. The elevators in the country are
full and the buyers are anxious to get the
grain to make their deliveries, but the rail-,
roads cannot furnish the cars to move It.
If cars had been plenty all through Decem
ber, local grain dealers say Omaha would
have won second place for the year. Ae
things are. St. Louis, drawing from a
country which raise an earlier crop, will
be second. According to present figure,
Omaha will lead Kansas City by a safe
margin. Chicago has always been first aa
