a solid mass of thia itching disease. I

stripped my tittle boy and took the
Cutuura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then 1 dried him
with a soft bath towel, and took the

thoroughly with it. I did this every

New iines built during the last year were
the extension to the Sherman avenue line

been built and equipped.
Thirty new cars were bought for the
Omaha lines and five new cars for tha
Council Bluffs line. Eight cars were built
In the company'a shops In Omaha and Mr.
Wattles reports the experiment has been
most satisfactory, as it haa shown that cars
can be built by the company better and
cheaper than those which are bought. He
reported that new closed cars would bo
built In the shops and that It was probable
In th near future all the cars needed by
the road would be built by the company In
Omaha. The company expended 80,000 in
repairing the Douglas street bridge and In
building a new approach from the east side.
Automatic sprinkler systems have been
Installed in all the barns of the company
during the last year.
Contract With luttrarban,
Mr. Wattles also aays a contract waa
entered Into during the year with the
Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice Railroad com
pany whereby that company Is to use the
rails of the Omaha Council Bluffs com
pany as soon aa they have their line built
to the city limits.
The report says that tho anti-pass law
haa been observed and that the wages of
the men in the employ of the company
have been increased about per cent. Th
company employs S men regularly and
during the months when construction work
Is possible about ao more are on the pay-
rou. so tne average numcer on tne payroll
Is about 1.0(0 men. The company pays the'
highest wages of ar
iny' city In the United
States similarly situated.
Tha company has at present 3t8 stock
holders, of whom Tii reside In Omaha, and
th booka show that the majority of the
slock Is owned in Omaha.
The president complimented the efflceri

Commissioners Ure and Brunning
Fight Over Personalities.
SEPARATED AFTER BLOODSHED
Kennard Elected (he.lrman. Com-
anlttee Appointed e-ed .Estimate for
Tear Placed at "(VftR.OOO, an
Increase of SO,OO0.
Following an exchange of personalities
after the meeting of the county board yes
terday afternoon Commissioners Ure and
Brunlng came to blows snd had to be sepi
arated by bystanders. In the mlxup Ure's
knuckles were skinned and Brunlng'a
mouth was bleeding wheer his gums had
come in contact with his antagonist's fin
gernails.
The trouble was the result of the 111
feeling between the two men which has
been apparent for eome time, but cul
minated yesterday when the two were on
opposite sldea on almost every question that
came up before the board. After the ad
journment Ure and Brunlng continued a
discussion that started In the meeting.
'You are not right now and you never
have been right," declared X're.
"You're a liar," shouted Bruning.
Ure slapped Brunlng's face and the two
clinched. Ure got his fingers In Brunlng'a
mouth In the acuffle, but no further blowa
were exchanged. W. H. Shoop, superin
tendent of the court house, separated them
before any serious damage was done to
either commissioner. ,
Estimate fer the Tear.
The principal business transacted at the
afternoon meeting waa the making of the
yearly estimate and the naming of the
board committees for the coming t year.
The estimate la $658,COO, which Is JT0.00O
more than last year, when It was 1495,06).
The general fund Is Increased n6,(W to take
care of the (35,000 voted at the last election
for the Dentention school, the $5,000 voted
for a tuberculosis hospital and to.OCO for
contemplated repairs on the Jail. The In
crease In the estimate does not necessarily
mean the board will raise more money
than It did last year, as that will be de
termined by the levy made next July. The
estimate represents the maximum amount
that can be levied and the board placed It
higher than it believes to be necessary In
duu SFSTXJZ
are added to the bond sinking fund esti
mates in order to help take care of bonds
which will be due In 1911. Brunlng and
Trainor both voted against adopting the
estimate, asserting that it la too high.
The estimate for the two years Is aa fol

Som slight friction was caused by th
objeotlona of Ure to the opening of blda on

The board rejected the first bids eoma tlm
ago and readvertlsed In the hopes of secur
ing more favorable terms. It was the' In
tention to send Out specifications to a num
ber of firms asking them to bid, but thia
waa not done and Ure proposed to advertise
again. One bid had already been opened,
but not read, and Trainor and Brunlng ob
jected to a readvertlaement. Tralnor's mo
tion to proceed with the reading of the bids
was carried, Ure voting with Brunlng and
Trainor after some discussion. Immediately
after the vote was announced Ure wanted
to change his vote, but was not allowed to
and he moved a reconsideration, which waa
carried by a vote of t to 2. No motion to
atop the regular order of opening blda waa
made, however, and the second bid wss
opened.
Prices Are the Same. S
The prices made were the same as those
offered in the first bids submitted. J. P.

CHICAGO. Jan. IS. To Victor Rose
water. The Bee, Omaha: Personally and
on behalf of Press club, wish to thank you
many times for action In Vlsseher matter.
Thought you would do something like that.
Press cluh, knowing It would be gratifying
to Colonel Vlsseher, Is raising fund for
Officer Dillon. One hundred dollars now
subscribed. RICHARD H. LITTLEX
President Press Club.
When shown the above telegram at the
Omaha General hospital Officer Dillon said:
"I'm not asking anything of anybody,
although I appreciate the kindness of th
Chicago newspaper boys. Neither sm I
looking for human blood or revenge.
Colonel Vlsseher Is more In need of sym
pathy than I am. I'll be out and back to
work In a couple of days, but his suffer
ings will last a long time. Had I wanted
revenge or human blood I surely could
have had It the moment ater he shot ma,
but had I taken It I would be the bigger
criminal of the two."
Mr. Dillon was resting easily Tuesday
and his wound (Is healing rapidly. The
doctors think he will be out In a few days.
A local florist delivered flowers to his
room Tuesday morning and this unsigned
note was sent with them:
from a friend of Colonel Vlsseher and
Officer Dillon, because of Officer Dillon's
manly bravery and great humanity under
trying clrcumstanoes.
When Colonel Vlsher read the telegram
from the Chicago Press club he said:
That's so nice of thent and I'm so glad.
I would freely do anything In my power
to alleviate Officer Dillon's sufferings. Of
course, money cannot heal hla wounds and
no amount of money could heal mine. I
am sick In body, spirit and mind. This
affair has been an awful shock to me. I
wish I could see Officer Dillon, but I can
not leave my room, and maybe he would
not care to see me."
Telegrams and letters are pouring in on
Mr. Vlsseher at the Paxton hotel from
sympathising friends all over the country.
Tuesday morning he received a message
of condolence from Ople Read, the novelist,
who Is a warm friend of hla. He la still
in bed.

The proposed readjustment of the Sixth
division of th Railway Mall Service and
the location of a division headquarters In
Omaha, as outlined In The Bee, has struck
a responsive note among business men of
Omsha who are working for the best Inter
ests ot the city and its tributary country.
Postmaster Palmer has been exerting i.ls
Influence In behalf ot the enterprise and
naturally feels great Interest In the prog-
resa of the movement.
"I have been urging readjustment of the
Sixth division of the Railway Mail Service
for more than three years," said Postmas

been Impossible to Interest department

"For the good of the service It Is now
conceded that it is absolutely necessary to
create other divisions, dividing up some of
the larger divisions and creating new ones.
For instance the division headquarters at
Cincinnati, including Ohio and Indiana
and other territory, aa a business proposl
tlon should be divided and a new district
created with headquarters st Indianapo

division with headquarters either at Mem

part of Montana and Idaho, with head

for the central district with headquarters
st Omaha or Denver.

Statements From Followers of Cooper Ob
tained Recently in Various Cities
A number of statements from promi
nent people located In various cities where
the widespread discussion over E. T. Coop
er's new theory regarding thev human
stomach has recently waged, give an idea
of th Intense Interest th young man ha
aroused during the past year. Th state
ments ar as follows:
Mr. C. D. Mitchell, of .412 Avsnu C,
Birmingham, Ala., ha this to say with
regard to his belief in Cooper's medicine:
"I have been troubled with indigestion and
stomach troubls for th past year. I had
heartburn, bloating after eating, gas on
stomach and bowels, palpitation of the
heart, pain in tha lower part of my back,
snd various other symptoms, and was a
victim of much distress. I tried many
remedies, but received little or no benefit
from them. I waa advised to try th
Cooper preparations, and did so. In on
week's time I was Improved wonderfully
the first relief I had been able to obtain.
Mr. Cooper's madtcln does all h claims
for It."
Mr. J. O. Bpradllng, ef TOI South Tejon
Street, Colorado Springs, Colo., says: ."I

Commercial Clab Acllve.
Already the Commercial club of Omaha
Is In the harness to show western repre
sentatives In congress and the Postofflce
department when necesssry that Omsha Is
the logical headquarters for a new di
vision of the railway mall service.
At a recent conference of those Interested
In dividing the "big Sixth" division, which
embraces U7.00O miles of routes, the Com
mercial club was given an' opportunity to
make a showing, and Commissioner J. M.
Guild brought out the points thst the logi
cal place from which to operate a railroad
division or a division of tho railroad mall
aervlce was tho gateway Into a territory
from which almost everything la At
tributed. While Denver-might be the so
called hub of the territory west of the
Missouri river, Omaha at the gateway doea
the distributing.
When railways find It advantageous to
operate from Omaha, at the east end nf
their lines, argued the commissioner of the
Commercial club, the mall service would
surely find that the railroads have mad
no mistake, but have divided the lines
east and west of the Missouri river snd
made the lines west slmost Independent of
the esstern lines. This is true of the
Burlington, Northwestern, Rock Island,
Santa Fe, while the Union Paciflo has lo
cated its headquarters at Omaha, though
Its lines stretch west to Ogden. Cheyenne
might be said to be at the "hub" of the
Union Pacific lines, but to avoid doubling
back the eompany haa selected J he gate
way at Omaha aa th best point for operat
ing the long ltnea to the west.
The commissioners presented the argu
ment that the departments of the govern
ment had already recognized Omaha aa tha
logical point from which to conduct the
business in the -west by establishing th
headquarters of the Department of the
Missouri at Omaha, placing the military
posts here, the Indian supply depot and
the quartermaster's warehouse and depart
