It U evident the commercial Interests of Omaha do not Intend to allow the position of Kansas City with regard to tha grain territory of Nebraska to pass unchal lenged. Membera of tha Omaha Grain e ohonge and tha Commercial club hava re ceived a circular aigned by the secretaries of theaa organisation, reminding them nf tha Inimical attitude of the Rock Island toward Omaha and calling attention par ticularly to a recent advance In ratea which extend tha Nebraska territory affected by tha . "equalization" plan ao adverse to Omaha'a Interests. The circular reads: Commercial Club of Omaha Omaha Oraln Exchange Omaha, Jan. 8, 1907. Confiden tial to our Members: On Jaauary 1, l7, the rates on grain from Omaha and Kan- City to Memphis, Tenn., were advanced 1 cent per hundredweight. This advance extends very materially the Nebraska ter ritory affected by the Iniquitous "equalisa tion plan of the Rock Island-Prlsco ays tem. Had there been any doubt In the mind of any Omaha man aa to the pur pos of tha Rock Inland-Frisco system In putting the plan In effect that doubt would be dlnpelled by an official atntement of the transportation manager of the Kansas City Board of Trade (a copy of which Is In our possession), In which he commends tho plan and congratulates his members over the additional territory opened up by Its operation to Kansas City merohanta. iOvery effort is being made by our trans- F rotation department not only to resist urther extension of this plan by the Rock Inland-Frisco system, but to compel that system to withdraw It entirely. Wa he apeak your continued co-operation to this end and we thank you heartily for your loyalty and for the assistance you litve already given us. Respectfully, J. M. GUILD, Commissioner Commercial Club of Omaha, E. 3. M VANN. Secretary Omaha Oraln Exchange. Kaasaa City Makes Boast. The occasion for the circular is said to have been an open boast of Kansas City regarding Its advantages over Omaha In jouthern Nebraska, made poc jlble by the Kansas' City-Memphis "equal! satton" plan of the 'Frisco and Rock Island. .H. O. Wilson, manager of the transportation de partment of the Kansas City Board of Trade, In an article January 1 In the Dally Drovers' Telegram of Kansas City, out lined the effect of the plan on Kanaas City grain Interests and congratulated his mem bers on having obtained that valuable con cession from tha railroads.

A meeting of the transportation depart ment of the- Omaha Oraln exchange waa Wednesday morning and threatened to ex terminate tha whole family, but waa dis suaded from his course by the timely ar rival of Officer I-ahey.

Thursday, after an acute Illness of two weeks, during most of which time her life hung In the balance aa the result of a stroke of paralysis. The dissolution of the blood clot on the brain caused a marked gain In the condition of tha patient three days ago and for the first time then, since Ihe stroke, some hope for her recovery was entertained, but she again tank and death was recognised to be but a matter of a few days at the farthest. The daughter Katherlne and son Frank were at tha bedside at the time of death, to gether with the nurse.

Mr. Whltmarsh came to Omaha about the time of the consecration of Bishop Worthlngton and was the bishop's private secretary and secretary of this diocese for several years until he was com pelled to relinquish his positions In on account of 111 health.

Would he wait? Why, he'd be there till 1:30 the next evening If necessary for a voice like that. "And I waited, all right, all right," he told a friend that night; "waited till long paat the time ahe said, with my counters smeared with all the slippers I had in the store. But she came not."

ONE DIES ON WAY TO OMAHA Baenatlv Committeeman mt' Wood men Meet, C. K. Irwin Dying; on Train. The board of managers of the executive committee of the Woodmen of the World is In session In Omaha to audit the books of the order In preparation for the meet ing of the sovereign camp at Norfolk, Va., In May.

The book as audited abow the largest gain In niembejrnhip for the last year of any year since tLf, organisation was formed. Applications were received for over 86,000 new members and a net gain of over 76,000 members was made. A gain was shown In the reserve fund of over S1.000.C00, making the fund for thlsMlstrlct nearly 15,000,000. This committee has not the power to act on the question of the new building which will be erected on the newly pur chased lot east of the present headquar ters. Additional ground of the same di mension as the present building has been bought. It haa nut been determined just what will be done, or. In fact, officially de termined to build, but all concede the building is needed, and It la thought the sovereign camp will order the building built.

COUNTY ASD CUT ICE BIDS Oommiiilooira Hold Up and Ccraioil la ' . jeoti Propois.li for cspplie. OFFICIALS SAY PRICES ARE EXORBITANT tee Dealers ftln Their Fnvorlte nitty. "What Will the Harvest Be," and Mayor Premises Thing's. The 1907 ce situation Is engro-nlng the minds of those who have to do with letting the city and county ice contracts for the year. There la a suspicion that the Ice men are trying a hocus-pocus gsme, but the deal ers In this congealed summer necessity de clare they have been inspired only by the beat of motives and actuated by business principles in the submission of bids. The status of the matter now Is the city will readvertlse for bids, after rejecting the only bid received, and that the county commissioners have taken no action In the Ice matter, having received only two bids, neither of which seems to tempt the com missioners. A threatened short crop is the chief rea son offered by Ice men for the enormous prices mentioned in bids made on city and county contracts. During 1906 the People's Ice and oal company supplied the county Jail and court house Ice under a contract of M per ton and the county hospital at 86 cents per ton In carload lota delivered at the Institution. That company said It lost money on the deal. The People's company bid $7 per ton for Ice delivered to the county Jail and court house and tl per ton for the county hospital for this year, while the only bid received by the city in response to Its ad vertisement was from the Omaha Cold Storage and Ice company, offering to sep arate Itself from Ice for a consideration of 18 per ton. Conncll Qnlelc to Reject. The city council quickly rejected the lone 18 bid received and Instructed the city clerk to readvertlse early In the spring when the site of the. crop will then have been aa sured. By accepting that bid the city offi cials thought they would be establishing a bad precedent for the year. The People's company had the city contract lost year for 16 per ton. A representative of the People's company explained the difference between their 1906 county contract and bid offered for this year by saying: "When we bid last year we baaed our figures on the experience of not having had a bad crop for ten years. As was known the 1906 crop was short, not only In Omaha, but elsewhere. We furnished the county offices In Omaha with Ice at tl per ton and lost money on that. Why, we had numer ous offers of to per ton for ice on the care at our houses from various towns through out the state. With last year's experience we decided to take no chances this seaaon, so made our bids at a safe figure. Here we have January 10 and the ice on Cut-Off lake not yet ready to cut. While we do not say we will have a short crop the time Is getting close to what might be termed the eleventh hour for a good crop." And In the meantime Mayor Jim la hav ing the city legal department draw up an ordinance placing the Ice men under the health department and requiring them to take out regular licenses which, according in the proposed ordinance, may be for feited if the dealers violate certain provi sions, one being a requirement of purity of product. The mayor said when he gets a hammer lock on the Ice men this spring things will be different. tence on the vagrancy charge. With other prisoners he had been put at work cleaning the streets snd tried to escape about a week ago, but was captured by Detec tive Ferris after a hot chase. Ell seltel a favorable opportunity Monday afternoon, when the speedy Detective Ferris was not In sight and when the man In charge of the work gang was looking the other way and made good his escape. TRIEBER DECISION STANDS Arkanans J a dare Refuses to Set Aside Jadgment for Deliberate liiwren, - The strenuous session of the t'nlted States equity court Under Judge Trlrber In De cember Is. still remembered by many of the attorneys, who had cases before him. The rapidity with which his Judgments were rendered caused a cold chill to pervade vertebra of a dumber of deliberate at torneys, especially when they found that their cases had come to Judgment through their neglect In being on hand to prosecute or defend them. The case of Walker G. Powell and others against Gould A Miller was one of these. In a suit on certain notes. The plaintiffs did not show up when the case was set for trial, but the defendants were present and proceeded to take testimony In the case. The resuR was that no controverting evidence being produced, Judge Trieber di rected the Jury to return a verdict for the defendants. The plaintiffs Immediately filed a petition to set aside the Judgment and Judge Trieber has Just returned his opinion on the petition overruling the petition to ret aside the Judgment and affirming his former decision.

Lavelle, a switchman for the Union Pacific, had both lower limbs badly crushed about 8 a. m. Thursday when he fell from the top of a moving freight car In the Union Pacific freight yards and was run over by the car. He as taken to St. Joseph's hospital and Is In a critical condi tion, as It will be necexsary to amputate his left leg and his recovery Is considered extremely doubtful. Lavslle was making what is termed a "flying switch" and climbed on top of the car to set the brakes after the car had been released from the switch engine and was traveling slowly from the momentum received. The top of the car was covered with sleet and ice, making the footing very precarious. I-avelU tried to set the brake at one end of the car and the brako wheel suddenly broke. His feet slipped on the Icy roof of the car when the brake gave way and he fell to the tracks below directly In front of the moving car. La velle tried to save himself from injury by cramping his legs, but the wheels passed over his right foot and leg, severing the heel from his oot, and then passed di rectly over his left thigh. Both wheels of the car passed over the prostrate body of the man and he waa unconscious when picked up. Amputation of the injured member haa been deferred on account of I.avelle's weak condition, as he was very low Thursday afternoon. Ijtvelle is about S& years of age and mar ried. He lived with his wife at 1716 Jack son street. He has been In the employ of the Union Papltlo company as a switchman for several years, but had been working nights only a few wevks.

The charge gulntt hint was changed to assault and batler and he was given sixty days in the county Jail, sentence to date from the Uir.a 6f Ui eri-enl. a month ago. Jupt when ice cream is Ice cream under the pure food law la a question that is being discussed among the local Ice cream manufacturers. The pure food law stipu lates that ice cream Is a froren product made from cream and sugar with or with out a natural flavoring and contains not loss than 14 per cent of milk fat. The law also stated what fruit Ice cream and nut Ice cream are. The department has ruled ngalnst the use of condensed milk, eggs, corn starch, gelatine and vegetable gums. H. B. Graham of the Farmers' Co-Op-cratlve Creamery and Supply company, haa taken this matter up with Dr. Wiley of the Pure Food commission for a more definite understanding on the matter, particularly the use of gelatine. It is believed, however, that the use of gelatine will be permitted, as experts claim gelatine must be used to produce "Ice cream." They say ice cream would not be Ice cream without gelatine, which Is de clared a necessity rather than an- adul terant. The new law. It Is said, will sound the death knell to products which have been sold for Ice cream and which hava tested only from 4 to 6 per cent fat. One dealer handling a high grade of Ice cream says: "We are not shedding any tears at the funeral of the corn starch and condensed milk manufacturers of Ice cream, but we must admit that an emulsifying agent (gelatine) is an absolute necessity in order to make a cream that la satisfactory to the dispenser and consumer."

Those are the figures for the one building, and the other is Just as large." On the second M. E. Smith building the bricklayers are working on the seventh story. The roof has been reached on the Rome hotel, which is being built by the same contractors who have the Smith buildings. DAVIS WARNS COUNCILMEN Physlrlnn-Connellmnn Deelnres Pub lic Tongue In Dnnsrer from Envelopes. Councilman Davis at Wednesday .even ing's meeting of the city council suggested that In letting the city contract for en velopes it should be stipulated that mu cilage on envelopes should not contain corrosive sublimate, which Dr. Davis ex plained was an Injurious preservative com monly used. He also said a law should be passed prohibiting the sale of any en velopes In Omaha which contained tha chemical mentioned. The city comptroller was Instructed to act on Mr. Davis' sug gestion so far as buying envelopes for tho city was concerned. ICE HARVEST NOT ON AS YET Cnttlnc Will Not Begin Till Thickness of Eight or Mae Inches Obtains. No start has been made toward cutting ice this winter as yet. The ice at Cut Off is from six to seven Inches thick In some spots, but more cold weather Is needed be fore It can be cut. The dealers are all framed up and will make a start at cut ting as soon as the Ice shows a thickness of between eight and nine inchea. The publlo Is watching the Ice crop ss well as the dealers, for the public must foot the bills. Ice is now bringing about $10 a ton when delivered in retail districts and the good housewife Is hoping for a good freesa that the crop may be plentiful and the price reduced for next summer. . City Health Commissioner Connell pre sented before the household economics de partment of the Woman's club Thursday morning a few facte concerning some x luting conditions in Omaha that have aroused that group of conscientious house wives to the necessity of doing something. Just what form or direction their efforts will take first was not definitely decided, except that the club women will avail themselves of the new card system re cently Installed In the health commission er's office for keeping a record of the dairies that afford the city milk supply and will have a systematic report made to the department of such dairies as fall to oomply with the requirements. The women feel that If the resources of the department of health and the tlty ordinances are Insufficient to render them adequate protection In all thlngSi they can at least make the most, of the public records and exercise their prerogative of talking It tip with their neighbors and their sister club women. Inducing them to buy their milk from such dairies as the riepsrt ment's record shows to be best. 1 Other Vital Mntters. So much for their plan of war on offend ing dairymen, but the matter cf meat and sanitary Inspection, outside vaults In thickly populated portions of the city and a few other things present a more difficult problem. Another meeting will bo devoted to municipal Investigations soon and some definite plana will be evolved in the mean time. It was decidedly personal information that the women exacted from Dr. Connell regarding the relntlve standing of the vari ous dairies and creamery companies, the official record of them, and as the meet ing was largely attended and the women very much In earnest, sons change In milkmen may be expected. Dr. Connell pro nounced the dairymen "cute as foxes," and snld that persistent, frequent and un expected tenting of milk on the wagons by the inspector Is the only possible means of keeping tip with them. He pronounced the city ordinances governing sanitation In the city not only Inadequate, but some of them an actual handicap to the hearth depart ment accomplishing anything. The assist ance of the department and the appropria tions for Its support, he said, were Insuffi cient for a city the site of Omnho, Pr. Connell named several Instances nnd places where outside vaults are maintained and are a positive menace to the health of l he neighborhoods where they are located, but the department la unable to do more, under the present laws, than order tliem cleaned. He asked the co-operation of the club women in an agitation and an Influence that will secure better ordinances governing these things. Gas Bills Too Hlarh. There was also some further discussion of gas bills, which the worsen generally pronounced increased since tiie reduction in the cost of gas. " It was suggested that some representative of the gas company be Invited to come before the department or the club to answer some of the ques tions that the women have found difficult to explain and also to Justify the com pany.. If desired. In some of the things of which It has been accused.
