,Whi I was doing missionary work
In the rower portion of several cities I
found it nance ary to know a Utile of
the efficacy of a few medicines and
after a while I found that a little knowl
if of Cutieure waa about all I needed.
One of the very bad case I had to deal
with was that of a young woman who
bad corn to us not onJr broken In
spirit but In a most awful condition
physically. Our doctor examined her
and told us that she bad scabies (tha
Itch), incipient ' paresis, rheumatism, v
to., brought on from exposure and tha
affect of her ragged-edged vllfe. Her
poor body waa a mas of sore from
scratching and she was not able to
reUin solid food. We tried many things,
a good tonio was prescribed and oains
with a rubbing of lard and sulphur. We
worked hard for seven weeks and you
can imaglns how discouraged wa war
. when, after all that time, we could see
so little improvement. One day I hap
pened to see a t'uticura advertisement
telling how a little baby bad beej
curedOT a bad case of skin eruption,
and although I had but ninety-seven
cents with me, I bought a take of Cuti
cure Soap and a bottle of Cuticura
Itesolvent. V hen 1 reached home I
was like a child with a new toy, and we
bathed our patient well and gave her e
full doee of the Resolvent. She slept
that night better than she had since
he bad been with ua and the next day
1 located the price of a box of Cuticura
Ointment. I am not exaggerating
when I ay that In exactly bve weeks
this young woruan, waa able to look for
a position, being strong -enough to work
and full of arubitHn. In another

to E. M. Smith
Compear.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 26.-Spec1al Telegram.)
Hay rates In north Nebraska on the
Burlington will fee slightly reduced. An ap
plication was made this morning of the
railroad commission to change hay from
class C to class D on the O'Neill line, sit
uated In one of the most productive hay
sections of Nebraska. The line has been
recently taken over by by the Burlington
road. The reduction will make a percepti
ble change In traffic charges on this claas
of shipments.
The railroad commissioners today granted
permission to the Lincoln Traction com
pany to run owl cars from 11 : o'clock at
night until 6:30 a. m.. the charge for a
ride between these hours to be 10 cents.
The cars will be established on December 1.
A provision has been made that the ad
vanced charge shall not apply to working
men In the morning hours as they start
for their labors.
Overall Compaay'a Kick.
The Lincoln Overall and Shirt company
haa asked the railroad commission for a
lC-cent rate on raw materials from Lincoln
to Crete and the same rate on goods man
ufactured at Crete and returned to Lin
coln. The present rate Is 20 cents.
L. O. Jones, speaking for the company
today, told the commissioners the same
privilege was granted to the M. E. Smith
company, which sent goods to Nebraska
City from Omaha and returned them on
a lt-cent rate. Attorney J. E. Kelby for
the Burlington Informed the board that
rate was unjust and he made formal re
quest that It be done away with and tho
regular rate te replaced.
In reply to this application Mr. Jones In
sisted the M. E. Smith company waaMiot
engaging in the manufacturing business at
Nebraska City now and this was the cause
for the Burlington's request and not an
acknowledgement that the principle under
lying the rate was wrong.
The case will be taken under advise
ment. In his argument Attorney Kelby
said the rate did nqj benefit the consumer.

Board of Health la Session.
Secretaries of the board of health held
airn tndnv and ordered Prof. G. K.
DlnJIan of Omaha to cease advertising
himself as a healer of diseases, but to
put out his sign as a massage expert. The
professor was represented by Attorney
Frank Ransom.
J. C. Messing of Alexandria, who Is a
magnetic healor, was Informed by the
h.rH he had no rlcht to practice In the
state and he was ordered to quit business.
Discrimination Alleged.
n n Mattlson. manager of the Inde
pendent Traffic company, but representing
the Independent telephone Interests oi un
coln, today filed complaint with the rail
road commission that the Bell Interests
were granting specla privileges to users
of telephones in Lincoln. He specified that
Herbert Gooch was charged K a month for
an Individual telephone, while Ed Blg
nn annerlntendent of the Burlington:
aeorke.II. MOore and H. L. Beatty, , engl-
neers on tne roaa were tunn -month
for . the sama. service... For two
party telephones, he aald W., B. Slwp, J.
H. Smith and Ct Strader- were charged
$1.60 a month, while the same service waa
granted J. E. Johnson, J. R. White, J. J.
Cassidy and H. W. Btrubble for $1.20 a
month.
A letter to the railroad commission In
July, It is claimed, admits these charge
and specifies that they nr given em
ployes of the Burlington bciA...se the road
accepts the responsibility ot making col
lections. The independent interests ob
ject on the ground they are unjust and
discriminatory.
The Johnson Home Telephone company
of Cook asks permission to raise Its tele
phone charges from $1 a month to $1.60 a
month because of betterments and Im
proved service.
Telephone Stakes Rebate.
In the opinion of members of the Ne
braska State Railway commission the Lin
coln Telephone company Is violating the
law In offering to make a . reduction In
rates when a subscriber pays a year's
rental in advance. This company has been
doing this for some time and last night
the offer was made to the city council and
rejected. According to the company the
reduction Is about 12 per cent. The oom
mlsslon holds that under the law no rat
can be changed unless permission is given
by the commission and It holds the action
of the company Is a violation of the law,
a .. i. v'-Mislly a change In rates.. .
Incidentally that order Issued after so
much deliberation some weeks ago to com
pel the Lincoln Traction company to ell

haunt the commission. Attorney General
Thompson has held that It la illegal to
now the Nehraska Telephone company
to sell coupon books worth $120 for
$100. The company la doing inn now,
but has asked permission to discontinue
the practice. The commission has taken
no action because the members are divided

spend the $3,800 appropriated by the recent
legislature to buy annotated statutes. Tho
law does not specify what the secretary Is
to do wit hthe books after he buys them
and as he is undecided whether the legis

or Cobbey statutes, he will do neither.
Ilia Year for Itay Prod neers.
"Thla has been the biggest year for hny
raisers In the history of Nebraska." said
Labor Commissioner Ryder, speaklnir of
the figures Just compiled In his office. "The
production of tame hay shown by our
table amounts to 1,617,623 tons. At. $G.60
per ton the money value of thla Is $10,514,
S4 50. The wild hay made 2.4S2.1S4 tons,
and allowing $5.60 per ton this represents
an- Income to the hay raisers of $13.4K8,ff38.
Thus the total value of the tame and wild
hay harvested In Nebraska this year Is
$24,001,407.50. This takes no account of al
falfa, which aamH to; almost an addi
tional $15,000,000.
Starte- to rtraUk' Own Light.
The 'contract frtv runnlng tho wife' from
the penitentiary 1 to the Home for' the
Friendless, ' the state 'house and executive
mansion for lighting and power purpnses
was let thla afternoon to George V. Ballard
of Lincoln for $2,581. Work Is to begin at
once. The other bidders were the Wstcrn
Electrical company of Omaha, $3,486; Frank
H. Wheeler of Havelock, $3,0.
Bid Came Too Late.
Robert Butke of Omaha, who did not re
ceive the contract for erecting the three
buildings at the Norfolk asylum, In the
opinion of the board of public lands and
buildings, feels put out about It. Today
a bid marked supplemental bid was re
ceived from him agreeing to erect the three
buildings for $77,000. The contract was let
November 18 to W. G. Merten of Emerson
for $77,852. When the bids were opened
Merten was the lowest on one building
and Butke on two others. The board asked
Butke If he would take all three buildings,
two of them at the Merten bid. He re
fused and then Merten agreed to take all
three, one at the Butke bid, which was
lower than hi own. In doing this the
board followed Its custom of dividing up
the contracts to the lowest bidders on
each Item of dividing up the contracts to
the lowest bidders on each Item. By do
ing thla It saved the state $2,920. The board
cannot now reopen the matter to consider
the lower bid of Butke.
Coanty Clerks Hake Mistake.
A comparison ot the original and dupli
cate returns made by the various county
clerks which Is now being made, shows
much carelessness on the part of some of
the county officials. The table compiled
by the secretary of state was made up
from the duplicate returns, but the original
returns show this table la not accurate.
In the Fifteenth district In Boyd county
the duplicate returns give J. A. Douglas
(rep.) 703 votes. The original returns In
the same envelope made by the same
oounty clerk show Douglas received 903
votes. In Adams county the duplicate re
turns (how a total vote of $,607, while the
original returns show a total vote of 3,690.
The state canvassing board will of course
use the original returns and will not ask
the county clerks which Is correct where
there Is a discrepancy between the dupli
cate and the original returns.

Another.
nEATRICE. Neb., Nov. 24?. (Special Tele
gram.) The Shumwuy murder trial Is near
ing an end and the only witness called by

Shumway. In a cool and deliberate
manner told In detiill his side of the story.
He stated that on September 3, soon after
1 o'clock, he broke a bolt on tho plow
while at work in the field. He went to
the shed near the Martin home, thinking
he would find another bolt, but foiling In
this he went to tho house. Stepping upon
! tho porch, he noticed tho kitchen dnor
ajar, and looking Into the room he noticed
blood stains on the floor. He stepped In
side and seeing a bloody butcher knife
lying on the floor In the dining room he
quickly realized that a murder had been
committed and fearing h e would be
charged with the crime he changed his
working clothes, went to the barn, hitched
one of Mr. Martin's horses to the buggy
and drove to Beatrice, finally landing In
Missouri. He accounted for the money he
had spent In Missouri, supposed to have
been taken from the Martin, home by him,
by saying that he had won part of It in a
poker game In Idaho and the balance by
working on a farm.
The defendant was on the stand most
Of the day and was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination. He stuck firmly to his
story, however, and the attorneys for the
state were unable to shake his testimony
to any extent.
This evening County Attorney Terry
began arguing the case for the state, but
It will not go to the Jury until some time
tomorrow. .
CHILD CAl'GHT IN
SHAFTING
Dead and Badly Mangled When
Machinery is Stopped.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Nov. al. (Special
Telegram.) Francis, the 4-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Toole, redding on the
Dahlstrom ranch ten miles from Grand
Island, was killed in a horrible manner
today. While at play In the yard her
dress caught in a cog wheel on water
power shafting running to an elevator. No
one was near at the time. Just as William
Maynard and William Huebner, residing
In the vicinity, were about to leave the
place they saw something white being
whirled around tho shafting so rapidly
that they couldn't distinguish what It
was. The attention of Mr. Poole was
called to it, the shafting was stopped and
he body of the little girl was taken from
the machinery.
The cog wheel had caught the dress near
the neck and the poor little ones feet in
constantly hltlng the ground only eighteen
Inches from the shafting had worn deep
grooves In the soil. Tire neck, back, both
arms and one of the lower limbs were
broken and tho little feet almost worn
away by constantly being hurled against
the ground. It Is believed that the un
fortunate child was in the shafting fully
ten minutes. Death, or at least uncon
sciousness, Is believed to have been al
most lnstantenous. The parents are arriv
als from Richardson county and the body
will be taken there for burial.

When you ttop to think about it, you, of
course, realize the grave danger that menaces
your children when they play in the streets
on which there are street car tracks, but do
you think about it often enough!
And do you caution your children about
it often enough?
Are you sure that YOUR children are
not daily exposing themselves to the danger
of being struck by a car in fact, jeopardis
ing their lives,
Eemember that when children are play
ing, their minds are engrossed with their play
and they are utterly unheedful of approach
ing cars and frequently dart directly in front
of them.
