In order to secure open competition on

chairman of tha court house and jail com

day of each week will be set apart as the
day upon which bids for miscellaneous
printing will be received and the board can
then act on the bids the following day.
It la impossible to foresee everything

Little lobs of sn emergency nature are
constantly coming up and the supplies are
usually needed In a hurry. Hereafter when
requests from the departments come in for
work ef this kind I will collect them and
on the following Friday printers will be
given a chance to submit bids on the work.
have sent letters to sll of the printers
notifying them of the rule and If they
want to bid on this work they can send a
representative to the court house every Fri
day to see what we have for them."
Brunlng and Tralnor recently criticised
the majority of the board for giving out
printing work without asking for competi
tive bids. The other members declare that
all these jobs were discussed In committee
with the objecting members there, but It
U believed the new method will result In
securing competitive bids and low prices
and will be above criticism.
RIGHT SORT OF RIVER TALK
Praise for Sloan City Coaarreaa Censes
from ConsrrnniMi Raasdall
of Loalslana.
Congressman Ransdall of Louisiana, one
of the principal speakers St the recent
Missouri River Navigation congress, has
written to one of the Omaha delegation.
praising the great Interest In river nav
Igatlon which he found by talking with the
Omahane, Kansas Cltysns, Bioux Cltysns
snd others who sttended the congress.
The congress was just the sort of gath
erlng that Is going to make possible such
development .of opinion ss will finally
win out In the fight for waterways." he
writes. "The Missouri river ought to
be navigated and It ought to be treated
differently. It is sheer nonsense to adopt
a policy which holds that stream to be
commercially useless, when, except only
the Mississippi, It has been more Improved
as a commercial artery than any other In
the whole country. The northwest could
not have been settled but for the Missouri.
What we need Is a systematic, bus I
nessVltke plan for developing the scheme.
I am nt work on a bill which I hope will
be accepted aa embodying something of
the sort. The people are for waterways,
but they want to be assured before they
go Into a great expense for them that
some real results will be obtained. I be
lieve we can get a bill and a plan which
will satisfy this kind of criticism.

Back at you, once more.
Accepting the defy of the Dshlman fac
tion and declaring that tho Jacksonians
will put a ticket In the field and give the
mayor's party a warm fight, representa
tives of the old political, club Wednesday
morning gave out the Information thut
they are ready for war. The Jacksonlans
adjourned at lS-.M a. m. Wednesdsy, sub
ject to call, but In the opinion of Fred H.
t'osgrove, one ot the belligerents and s.
leader In the Jacksonlan club, the club
may be called to meet this evening, or to
morrow evehlng at the latest.
"Within forty-eight hours the Jackson
lans will have a ticket In the field snd we
will show the Dahlman Democracy ITiat Its
brand Is not the acceptable brand of Doug
las county," said Mr. Cosgrove.
No definite decision has as yet been mnde
regarding who will be the standard bearers
of the Jacksonlans, but those close to the
councils of the organliatlon say the nomi
nees will probably be C' J. Smyth, Frank
Morlarty and Ig J. Dunn.
Reward for Sarceaa Leasee.
Tlu Jacksonlans seem especially anx
ious over the scalp of Dunn, whom
they state has done "signal service"
for his party. Dunn, they say, was
the logical nominee from this section
to thelast rWlonal convention, having led
the fight for the Success league, an anti
Bryan club, so the Dahlmanltee say, but
he withdrew through some political deal
to gain strength for the ticket and W. H.
DeFrance was named as the delegate.
Dunn should have an Inning now, they say,
and the Jacksonians' main hope In the con
ference of Tuesday night was that the Dahl
manltes would Join In naming him as the
compromise delegate-at-large. The Jack
sonlans also stsndvfor Mr. Smyth because
of his "grest loyalty to Mr. Bryan" and
his fight for the Nehraskan on the floor
of the convention hall when he was first
nominated.
While the Jacksonlans claim to have
made every effort at a compromise last
night, Dahlman Democracy club members
state that there was no compromise about
It, but that the Jacksonlans wsnted to
"hog" it all. Esch side say they will
"show" the other side and "one of the
prettiest little political wars ever pulled
off in Douglas county" is promised tho
onlooker.

CURL IN COBWEB' OF CRIME
XeR-ro finllty of Bo Many Offenses
Police Are at a Loss to Pick
Oat a Chars'.
Willis Curl, the negro arrested in a barn
at 36 California street, has not yet had
a formal charge filed against him. In
fact there are bo many things of which
he Is declared by the police to be guilty
that It Is hard to choose one of them for
the charge. He haa confessed he assaulted
Mlsa Florence Poast at Twenty-second and
California streets last Thursday night,
knocking her down with a cold chisel.
The police know he Is guilty of at least
five burglaries and he Is also believed
to be the fiend who committed the murder
of Miss Josephine Rummelhart at Twenty
sixth and Dodge streets on the night of
October 6. 190S.
"What we are trying to find out now,"1
said Chief of Police Donahue, "is where
the negro was on the night of October
6. 1W. Tills may be hard to prove to
the aatlsfactlon of the law. Moral cer
tainty, however, points to Curl as the
murderer for whom we liave searched so
long. He answers the description of that
negro. He is an all-around bad man.
At all events we are sure he won't make
any trouble for some years to come."

JUDGES OBJECT TO NUMBERS
Protest Against ldent Ideation Given
to Convicts Instead of Their
Names.
District Judges object to being known by
numbers like convicts In the penitentiary
and have requested the county commission
ers to place a name" plate bearing the
name of the presiding Judge on each court
room door. The commissioners have agreed
to comply with the request. At a meeting
of the Judgea In which the matter was
discussed Judge Day told an experience
which he said showed the necessity for
hivinr the iudee's name on the doors.
"I was trying a case before a Jury, he
said, and during a recess I happened to
step out in the hall, where a numuer 01
Jurors were congregated. 'Are you on a
caie?' I heard one Juror ask another. The
second Juror replied he was. 'Whose caurt
are you In?" the first Juror asked. 'I don't
know his name,' said the other Juror, 'but
he ts Judge No. 4.' ,

OTHER SECTIONS SHOW THE SAME
Itallroad lrn Take Courage from the
American Hallway Association
Ileport for Last of
January.
Railroad men aro encouraged by tho
bulletin of the American Railway asso
ciation for the period ending January !.
The report for tho end of the first week
In January showed a car surplusage of
S41.0CO cars, whereas the report for Jan
uary 22. showed surpluses of 3T9.0O0 cars.
The most encouraging feature of the re
port Is In reference to the western stales.
On January 8, In Nebraska, Wyoming and
Montana there wero 2,401 Idle box cars
and that number was cut down to 593
January 22. The total excess for these
three states January 8 was 4.KS1 and for
January 22 that number was cut In half,
or to 2,420.
In the group of states composed of Kan
sas. Colorado, Missouri and Arkansas tne
surplus cars were reduced during the two
weeks from 18,246 to 12.812, or one-third.
The Idle cars Increased In the southern
states and In New England, In the group
comprising New York. New Jersey and
Delaware. , In the middle states a little
while In Kentucky, Tennessee and Miss
issippi the situation has improved.
The car shortage has been reduced from
90,000 on October 1 to 738 January 22. The
report of January 22 shows a general Im
provement In the box car situation and
the western roads have reduced their ac
cumulations of gondola and coal cars. The
eastern roads still have surpluses of those
classes of cars, which will gradually bv re
duced If the present general Improvement
continues. -There is a vast amount of
empty car mileage, caused by the roads
pure. The critical ordeal through which the expectant mother must
pass, however, is so fraught with dread, pain, suffering and (Anger,
that the very thought of it fills her with apprehension and horror.
There is no necessity for the reproduction of life to be either painful
or dangerous. The use of Mother's Friend so prepares tho system for
the coming event that it is safely passed without any danger. This
great and wonderful

POES it not seem strange to you that a
dealer who tries to substitute, when
you ask for an advertised article, should as
sume that you are not capable of spending
your own money? Show him that you are
by insisting on getting what you ask for and
refusing any substitute. Substitutes pry him
a larger profit, otherwise he would give you
what you ask for, without question. Manu

large quantities, being enabled thereby to
