Uvnjaniln F. Thomas received his oomrolav
lon as poatmaater of Omaha Saturday
morning by mall. The commlaalon baara
tha data of February 4, but was not signed
by President Roosavelt until February IX
Immediately upon receipt of tha commis
sion Mr. Thomas took tha oath of office
before Miss Jessls Frahm, a notary public,
in tha offloa of McOUtou Jt Gaines.
Tha formal transfer of tha off lea was
made Saturday afternoon and Captain
Palmer escorted his successor orr tha
building- and Introduced him to tha various
department heads. Thera is a large
amount of checking over to ba dona, whloh
Involves all of tha property of tha big of
gtaa. This Includes about 27J,000 'worth of
(oataga stamps, keys, mall sacks and an
enormous variety of detail property. Post
W aster Palmer will draw the salary for
aUroar. as under the rule of tha Post
atffloa departinaot tha retiring official fats
tha day'a salary for that day upon which
tha tranafer and checking uj Is made.
Poatmaater Thomae will, therefore, enter
upon tha formal discharge of his duties
Sunday morning. Ha has already executed
a personal bond for $215,000. whloh la $li,000
In excess of that given by Captain Palmer
four yeara ago.
"Thara will be no change whatever In
tha heads of the departments." said Mr.
Thomas. "Mr. Woodard will remain as
aaalatant poatmaater."
Glad ta Get Oat, Says Palmer.
"It la with a feeling of regret that I
disassociate myself from the great many
olose frlenda I have made during tha four
yeara I have held tha offloe." said Mr.
Palmar. "At the same time I am glad to
ba relieved of tha reaponalbUlty. It la a
greater ons than roost people Imagine. It
is a pleasure to know that ths office has
not deteriorated during my Incumbency.
When I took hold Just four years ago to
day I relieved Mr. Joseph Crow ss poat
mastar and ths annual receipts for tits
offloe for the year were S50S.450.J7. That
waa for the year 1801 In that period the
receipts have Increased about (8 per cent.
Tbe total receipts for the year ending De
cember O, 1X17. were 1767,000. The carrier
force when I came Into the office numbered
St. Now It la 111.
"There has been but' one defalcation In
the postofflce during by Incumbency. Tliat
was of Jan Riley In the money order of
fice. He embeaaled about S900. Tha amount
was made good by his wife and tha gov
ernment 414 not lose penny' The only
Char sarleoa -affair lurlag these four years
was tha loss of two mall sacks, stolen from
a screen mail wagon last fall. This was
not, however, any fault of tha postofflce,
as ths mall sacks had been properly de
livered to the contractors for delivery) and
were lost after they had left the care and
responsibility of the postofflce."
THREE DEATHS IN ONE FAMILY
AU Children Die la Week aad Mather
la New Slcai at Scarlet
Fever,
The family of Henry Hoalser has been
visited with more than its share of grief
during the last week, having lost all three
children by scarlet fever. The family lived
on Tenth and Grace streets, across the
railroad tracka on the East Omaha bottoms.
Tbe father Is a teamster and the mother Is
herself UL The oldest boy, Ruben, T yeara
old, was burled Thursday afternoon, and
the two younger, Alexander and Emanuel,
4 ana; S, died Friday, the youngest In tbe
morning and ths other Just as the curfew
whistle blew at S o'clock Friday night.
Tbe funeral will be held Sunday after
noon and will be private, with burial at
Laurel Hill cemetery. South Omaha, He v.
J. F. Bchwars, pastor of the German Pres
byterian church, officiated at tha flrat
funeral and will officiate Sunday after
noon. The family came from Russia sod burled
three children who died from throat trouble
twfore they ame to this country.

WATER WAGONS IN TROLLEYS
New System of Street Sprinkling is
Under Discussion.
FLAN TO LET CAES CARET CASTS
Have the Comaaar Staad for Throw
las; Water front Cara ta Carb
Under Ordlaaaee Re
cently Passed.
In compliance with a recent ordinance
paaaed by tha city council, tha Omaha &
Council Bluffs Street Railway company
will have to aprihkle the pavement between
the car tracka In Omaha after April 1.
Thla will be done by meana of a sprinkler
attachment on the atreet cars. Some sort
of a reservoir will be installed In the cars,
or, as Is suggested by a member of the
street cleaning department, a barrel of
water can be placed on the rear platform
of the oars where smokers are accustomed
to stand, and a hose and sprinkler attach
ment connected therewith. The downtown
streota will have to be sprinkled every day
during the summer aa often as It Is deemed
necessary, though great quantities of water
wlU not be allowed at one time, the com
pany merely being ordered to lay the dust,
not to transform It Into mud.
How large a reservoir tha street cars
wlU carry la not known, but Street Cum-
' mlsatoner Flynn hopes that large enough
reservoirs will be carried and sufficient
force be provided so that the passing cara
can sprinkle the streets from curb to curb,
thereby obviating the neoesalty of hiring
street sprinklers to do the work aa In tho
past
In tha event that the company could
sprinkle the entire atreet the city would
pay for' the work, the ordinance merely
requiring the atreet railway people to
sprinkle that portion of the pavement
which lies between their tracks.
Woald Do Awavr with Kleka..
If the atreet cars could sprinkle the
streets often and keep the dust laid Street
Commissioner Flynn believes there would
would not be so much objection to the
horse sweepers used to clean the clty'a
thoroughfares. Wblle the people of Omaha
want clean streets they "kick to beat the
band" on the use of tha big aweepera on
account of the dust raised, aaya tba com
missioner. With frequent and efficient
sprinkling by the street car sprinklers this
objection would be overcome, he believea.
Mr. Flynn la somewhat In favorNof tha
proposed pneumatic water wagon street
flushers, but believes the present system
of cleaning the streets is the most practical
under existing circumstances.
While the proposed purchase by the city
of the water company'a plant la "tied up"
in the courts, ths company does not feel
disposed to lay another msln from its
principal pumping station at Florence. The
one main la overloaded constantly and ths
water company will not endanger breaking
It, says the commissioner, by additional
force. JLsurt year the cam ml toner was
unable to flush the atreet with hoae until
he was given permission each time by the
water company and told that there waa
sufficient water. With the pneumatic
wagona more water would be required and
the commissioner thlnka it doubtful if
more water could be secured. Under the
contract with the water company the city
has to pay for the water It uses In flush
ing the streets.

laed Chancellor Andrews to withhold de

Every woman covets ft
shapely, pretty figure, id4
many of them deplore tha
less of their trirlith forma ,
after marriage. The bearing
of children it often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All of this can be avoided,
however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon It, and
reserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the
anger of child-birth, and carriee the eipectant mother safely through
this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.
Thousands gratefully tell of the benefit and relict derived from the
use of this wonderful
remedy. Sold by all

book, telling all about
this liniment, will be sent free.
