A little bunch, of whiskers on the chin
may cut a big figure la determining the 1
guilt or Innocence of one man susperted of j
trie atrocious murder of Mies Joaephlne
Rummelhart, October 8 and of other revolt
ing crime In the vicinity of Riverview park
about that eame time.
'I am atlll uncertain If 8mlth Is Im
plicated In the Rummelhart case." said
Chief Donahue Friday morning after an
extended personal Interview with the negro,
who Is suspected of that crime and who la
being subjected to the most rigid Investl- j
Ration, "but he knowa a lot more than he
Is willing to tell us. When questioning him i
I did not refer to the Rummelhart murder, j
twit aaked him If he knew where the high
school , grounds were and ha said he did
and that he had probably done a few odd
Jobs for cltlaons In that vicinity. It is
possible future investigation may bring to
light something that haa mora positive
bearing on the case, but at present we have
nothing further to work on,
"Smith lived at a lodging house near
Twelfth and Dodge streets and wa are go
ing to have the residents of that vicinity
have a look at him and see If any of them
knows anything about him."
In veatlKntlon does On.
The Investigation by the police of Frank
Bmtth, the colored man suapected of know
ing something of the murder of Joaephlne
Rummelhart on the night of October 8, Is
atlll being instituted with a vim, and In
the shuffle Smith has lost the beautiful
bunch of whiskers that had evidently been
cultivated with much care and persever
ance. After the loss of the whiskers the
metamorphosis of Bmlth was complete and
he .looks like an entirely different man.
For this reason It has been decided to
have the Riverview cltliens who were ao
annoyed by a negro about the time of the
Rummelhart murder view Smith again.
Smith still continues taciturn and either
refuses or is mentally Incapable of giving
a coherent account of his travels within
the laat few months, lie Is thought not
to ba a victim of any drug habits, but la of
the lowest possible type, the police say,
and Just such as would commit a dastardly
crime Ilka the murder of Miss Rummel
hart. .
Pictures of the man, both before and
after the removal of his beard, have been
taken and will be sent broadcast through
out the country, as Chief Donahue la al
most sure he is wanted for some orlme in
some city, if not in Omaha.

night and another, John Turner, put In
when caught In the act of robbing the home
of Mr. Crary, 162J Spencer street, the burg

HONEST PORTER FINDS GRIP
Colored Man on Tollman Car Hp-
severs Valise and Hants
Cp the Owner.
The honesty of two Pullman porters on
the Northwestern road has been the means
of making t B. Rachenhelmer, representa
tive of the Crown Suspender company of
New York, a very happy man. Mr. Rach
enhelmer waa enroute to Council Bluffs
and misplaced the grip containing over
12.000 worth of orders and other valuables
while on the train, but did not miss them
until his arrival In Council Bluffs. He
did not know whether he lost the grip on
the train or whether It had been stolen
from him after leaving the train. However,
he came on over to Omaha and registered
at the Her Orand Friday momlng. When
reaching the hotel he Incidentally observed
couple of neatly dressed colored men
sitting In the hotel lobby, and one of them
asked him his name, believing him to be
Mr. Bachenhelmer. The latter acknowl
edged such was his name and aaked the
colored man his business. He was In.
formed that ha was one of the porters
on the train, that he had found the grip
and, learning that Mr. Bachenhelmer had
come over to the Her Grand, brought It
over to him. '
Mr. Bachenhelmer waa much delighted to
recover the grip and rewarded the porter
for hlr honesty.
OLD STAGER AT IT AGAIN
Colonel Stephenson Is Running; Line

Mining? Camps.
Colonel James Stephenson has returned
from a visit to Denver and other Colorado
points, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs.
A. E. Kimball of Denver, who will visit
with Omaha friends for a few weeks.
Colonel Stephenson Is one of the few re
maining pioneers ot the old stage coach
days of the plains, having entered that
business over fifty years ago, when the
mule railroad was the only method of
transportation across the American deserts
for passengers, and the slow but patient
troddlng bull team did most of the freight
ing between tha Missouri river and the
Pacific. Colonel Stephenson has recently
opened a stage line from the nearest rail
road point In Nevada to the Goldfleld and
Tonopah diggings, which he says:
This will be the last of staging on this
continent."

TORTURED BY
ITCHING SCALP
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands

Doctors Said Too Old to Be
Cured -An OIt Soldier of 80
Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
IS A BLESSING"
"At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
tieura. It saved me from worse than
the tortures of hades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke oat on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which I did, to
no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good.
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him I would go and see a phy
sician in Erie. The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
eczema like mine could not be cured;
that 1 was too old (80). I went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like results. 1 had read of the Ou
ticura Remedies often, I waa strongly
tempted to give them a trial, ao I sent
for the CuUcura Soap, Ointment, and
Keaolvent and continued taking tha
Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the fills. I waa now
getting better. 1 took two baths a day,
and at night I let the lather of tha Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment witn
great effect after woehirg in warm
water, to atop tha itching at once. I
am now cured.
"The Cuticurm treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't say any
more, and thank God that Ha has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter aa you please. A very

WOMEN II CLUB ARB CHARITY
Vpon invitation of Miss Belle Kearney
of Mississippi, one of the most eloquent
of the many southern women who have
come into prominence ss speakers atul
lecturers, a conference of southern women
was hel l December 19 and 20 at Memphis,
Tenn., to discuss ways and means for a
more aggressive campaign for woman suf
frnce In the southern states. The feasi
bility of asking for presidential suffraKe
was one of the points especially considered.
Such a conference Is a new departure on
the part of the conservative women of the
south and the popularity of tha movement
might be seriously feared for were It not
for tho fact that It Is headed by women,
who are arrcng the most prominent socially
and In educational circles, of the southern
states.
The strut; ele for child labor legislation
has been a revelation to these women. Only
two years ago, at the St. Iouls biennial,
Mrs. Tatterson of North Caro'ina boasted,
"we women of the south do exactly hs we
please and we please to please our men."
Their experience of the next few months
left them not quite so confident and the
next year brought the real revelation.
Louisiana with the Misses Gordon and
Dorothy Dlx and Georgia with Mrs. A. O.
Granger and Mrs. Llndsey Johnson and
the others who have lead the child labor
agitation long ago outgrew, "pleasing 10
please their men." but It Is but Com
paratively recently that many of the south
ern women have sympathised with the
suffrage movement.
The Young Women's Christian associa
tion will hold Its annual New Tear's recep
tion Tuesday evening from 5 to 9 o'clock
In the association rooms In the Paxton
block. A program will precede the recep
tion and nn Invitation Is extended to all
Interested In the work of the association.
The Omaha Woman's club will hold Its
reception Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 8
o'clock In the parlors of the First Con
gregational church, Nineteenth and Daven
port streets. The officers of the club will
serve as a reception committee. The New
Tear's reception tins not been held regu
larly of late years, but It was revived this
year to afford an opportunity for the new
members to become acquainted with the
officers and other members.
"The Juvenile court movement has grown
with great rapidity in the few years since
Its birth and already twenty states have
separate courts for children. How much
these courts have done to better human
lives cannot be set down In statistics, but
even In dollars and cents states are finding
It cheaper to "make men than to support
criminals." In four years the children's
court of Denver alone has saved the state
of Colorado something over $270.000." Alice
Catherine Fallows in The Century.
A number of Omaha club women are at
tending the meeting of the Nebraska State
Teachers' association at Lincoln this week.
The association Is much Interested In the
proposed amendments to the compulsory
education law and will co-operate with the
club women In the effort to secure Its pas
sage. Consideration of this amendment Is
to come up at one of the sessions.
One of the special things that Iowa club
women and suffragists will ask of their
legislators this winter will be a reforma
tory for women separate from the state
penitentiary. Some of the most Influential
women of the state are interested in the
project.
Owing to the death of Mr. Pennock's
mother the program of the Society of Fine
Arts, to have been led Thursday morning
by Mrs. H. W. Pennock has been post
poned until next Thursday, when It will
be combined with Mrs. Lowrey's program.
The names and addresses of over 12,000
club women are registered in the new club
women's directory of New York City. Of
the 140 clubs registered thirty-two are for
purposes of study and social Intercourse,
eighteen are political organizations, fifteen
are patriotic societies, nine are - philan
thropic organizations, eleven are for the
purpose of bringing together women form
erly living in other states or countries, six
are professional women's organizations and
Ave devote their efforts to municipal Inter
ests.
BREEN HAS LITTLE HOPE
Does Not Anticipate Settlement Out
of Court of I'nlon Pa
cllo Taxes.
Attorney J. P. Breen, special counsel for
the city of Omaha In the 1903 Union Pacific
tax suit, says he had little hope of the
matter being settled out of court, as the
Union Pacific lawyers have shown no dls
position to settle the matter on anything
like fair terms, he said.
The case comes up for hearing In the
United States court in January. The
Union Pacific officials contended the ralst
of their personal assessment from 11S6,OOC
to over (1,000,000 was unjust. Mr. Breen had
a conference Thursday morning with the
Union Pacific legal department, but he said
that department would not even split that
assessment in two and thus end tha litiga
tion.
PALMER ON THE OLD PLAINS
Postmaster 'Will Speak of His
Pioneer Days in tho

Captain H. K. Palmer has been Invited and
has accepted the Invitation to deliver a
lecture before the Nebraska Historical so
ciety at Its annual meeting in Lincoln Jan
uary 16 on the subject of his life on the
plains prior to the territorial days. N.t
man In Nebraska Is better qualified to
make such an address, based upon hla per
sonal experiences, which are filled with
thrilling Incidents, both es a citizen and a
soldier of .the days when Nebraska was In
its swaddling clothes. Captain Palmer has
written much of the early history of Ne
braska, and while he has not posed as an
author, papers from his pen grace the
pages of practically every history of the
western Missouri region.

MONROE EXPLA1SSIDE RAISE
Union Ftoifio Triffio Vturer Pay. Old
Bate ProTed Embarrassing.
THIS IS WHY BRIDGE TOLL IS TO GO UP
Says Ills Road Haa Done More tor
the Omaha Grain Kxrhange
Than Any Other
Railway.
"We have decided to raise the rate on
grain from Council Bluffs to Omaha and
South Omaha because the old rate has
proved embarrassing and noncompensa
tory," said J. A. Munroe, freight traffic
manager of the Union Pacific, when ques
tioned In refcrvce to the protest filed with
tho Interstate Commerce commission by
the Omaha Grain exchange,
"The Iowa lines have practically their
own rails from Council Bluffs to Omaha
and South Omaha, that Is, they pay the
Union Pacific hy the year for the u-v of
the tracks, and we think It Is for them to
haul the grain to Omaha and South Omaha.
When the grain Is stopped at Council
Bluffs to be turned over to us It congests
further a terminal already congested.
"We have done more for the Omaha
Grain exchange than any other one road,
but think this Is the business of the Iowa
lines which can run their cars Into Omaha,
and It is proper they should haul the grain.
They figure each car at a charge of K In
the new tariff which we will soon put Into
effect, but that la not right. We have fol
lowed our new plan of centa per hundred
Instead of dollars per car on the bridge,
the same aa for the main line. The rate
Is made 1 cent per 100, with a minimum of
$5 per car, from Council Bluffs to Omaha
and South Omaha. This Is In line with tho
scheme which prevails in other large ter
minals, notably between St Louis and Eist
St. Louis.
"The Iowa roads can extend the Iowa
distant rate Into Omaha and we should
not bo expected to haul the cars over for
12, at a loss, when there la no advantage
to be gained, and, besides, when It tends
to congest the terminals across the river.
