ENDORSED Woman's Christian Association Acts on Petition of Union City Mission. PASS IT ALONG TO THE CHUXCHES Ministerial. AdwcUtlm Iteeommends -Mom -Chan la rita, Wfclch ' Probably Will Be Made, ana Wark Given' Reconltlon. The Associated Charttlea has declined to endorse the Union. City Mission at 1136 Went Broadway, of which Rev. V. L Glcradorf U the trading spirit and orga niser. Thia decision wu reached at a Joint meeting of the executive committee of the Associated Charities and a commit tee from (he Council Uluffs Ministerial as sociation held Saturday evening. The proposition: for the . endorsement of .the Union City mission by both the pastors and the Associated Charities had been be fore both bodies for some time. The executive cprftmlttee of. the. Asso ciated Charities took the position that while endorsement of the Union City mis sion Is proper for the pastors' association. It would not bx proper for the Associated Charities to take such action In relation to en organisation which Is engaged largely in religious work. At the same time, the executive committee decided that the As sociated Charities not being opposed to the mission In any way. It would be ready at any time t assist in the charitable work of the mission. Those present st the conference Satur day night were: Itev. J. M. Williams, pas tor of the Broadway 'Methodist church; Kev. O. O. Smith of the First Congrega tional church and Rev. J, W. Jones of St. Paul's Episcopal church, representing the Ministerial association, and Major Q. H. Richmond, Mayor Donald Macrae, F. E. Clark. TV. H. Dudley, Mrs. H. W. Binder, Mrs. George T. ' Phelps, Sirs. Jacob 81ms and Mrs. Caroline Johnson, comprising the executive committee . of the Associated Charities. The Union' City mission was originally started by Rev. W. K Glersdorf. former pastor of the Free Methodist church of this city, but was subsequently Incorporated with Rev. Mr. Gelrsdorf, Rev. A. Over ton and G. tV. Bklnner as Incorporators. The mission Is engaged In relieving suf fering, assisting men to secure, employntent conducting religious ' meetings and doing other charitable work. Throufh the ef forts of Mr. Glersdorf a large two-story building wss erected on Broadwsy between the Northwestern and Illinois Central rail road track at a cost of over $3,000. The mission Is entirely dependent on voluntary contrihutlona.and .lt Is .understood that Mr. Glersdorf, who resides In the mission build ing, has been experiencing much difficulty In keeping the Institution open. Position of Ministers. The Ministerial association which has had the proposition before It at several of Ita meetings, has as yet failed to Indorse the Union City mission and the matter Is stUl In the hands of a special committee. At a recent meeting of the Ministerial asso ciation the rommlttee submitted a report which in substance waa that while the mission bed in general done excellent work some mistakes had been made and some changes would be necessary before the re ligious bodies of the city could. Indorse It and take an active part In Its work. At the time that this report was msde the committee suggested that a board of trus , tees be chosen from the vsrlous churches, this board to have oversight of the man agement of the mission. The association, however, failed to take any action at that time beyond , ref.-rlng the whole matter back to the Committee for further Investi gation. It Is' understood that Rev. Mr. Glersdorf Is perfectly willing that a board of trusters frem the different churches have oversight of the management of the mission, and has so notified the Ministerial association. .. Sornt definite ' action by the Ministerial association s looked for at its meeting. furmaehlra WMals tho Law. Louis Zurmurhlun haa formally notified A. W. Casady. chairman of the democratic county central committee that he Zur muehlen,. declined the; honor of being a delegate to the) democratic state convention at Cedar-Rapids. In view of the fact that the democratic state convention waa held last Thursday this declination on the part of Mr. Zurmuehlen would under ordinary circumstances appear aomewhat auperfluoui and late. ' , . The truth 'of the matter ia that the li prohibits a member of the fire and police commission from being a delegate to any political .convention, and If so appointed must serve notice of declination to serve aa such ' wtth twenty daya. Mr. Zur muehlen Aid, not attend the county aonven- ' tion t which ie waa selected a delegate. neither did he go t the state convention at Cedar Rapids. That the law prohibited hhn as a member of the Fire and Police commission' from being a delegate to any political convention, however, did not be come known to Mr. Zurmuehlen until afler the gathering at Cedar Rapids, and in order to keep "within the requirements of the statute Commissioner Zurmuehlen sent Look through the Washburn Crosby, mills.

If elected.- work would be commenced on the. new water works plant In thirty days. The council lias advertised for bids for May 18. Then will follow a tabulation by the engi neer, consideration by the council, and then the preparation of the contract.

Then follows the printing, of the bonds and their mile, the latter Involving an examina tion of the question of their validity Dy the proposed purchaser. That would end the preliminary steps, provided there Is no test of the ssme by a suit In court, which would end when?

Should a candidate for such office he both honest and have sound- business Judgment T Of all the candidates whose names ap pear upon the republican ballot and who have been mailing speeches throughout the rlty, the two best, qualified to speak of these matters. Treasurer True and Auditor McAneney, have been strangely silent. And It has been left to Candidates Wallace and Kimball, and some of the candidates for alderman, to make such claims, unsup ported by anything but their hare state ments. Why? Have they read the law under which such plsn must be carried out? Are they acquainted with the facts? Or. do they wish to mlHlead voters? The council has already done what It can to carry out the proposed plan; It has advertised for bids and after they are re ceived a contract will be made, but that contract must be submitted to the vote of the people of this city. If the people ap prove It, then the contract will be com pleted, but If they disapprove It, no mayor or council chosen at this election csn over ride that decision.

BUTTER DEALERS ON, RACK Iowa Food Department Has Trouble Regulating- Them. RENOVATED AND PURE ARTICLE Old Letter Paroortlaar to Coaso from Governor Cnmmlns Makes the Hawker Senatorial Fight Interest lag. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.! DBS MOINTS, March Sa-(Speclal.)-The State Food and Dairy commissioners de partment is having trouble with people who go from house to house In the big cities of the stale selling what they claim is "good country butter," but which. In fact, Is not country butter at all, but Is simply renovated butter. These ped dlera buy In the markets and secure in one way or another cheap grades of but ter, renovate it. disguise themselves In the garb of a farmer and then ge out Into the realdence section of a city and sell the butter at a stiff price on the claim that It la "country butter." ., This class of law violators are hard to catch and the department Is having soma trouble with them. Not till the thrifty housewife who has prided herself on se curing a rich prise In the way of some "good country butter," puts the product on the table does she usually find out how she has been "soaked." A woman in thia city visited the dairy commissioner yesterday with some buttor. She waa indignant. She had noticed "after the peddler left," that the butter aeemed to have considerable water in it. She worked it over and it proved to have 66 per cent water, in it. The law allows only 16 per cent water. The United Btatea law allows the same and all butter con taining more than that ia classed as adul terated butter. The government charges manufacturers of adulterated butter a li cense of 86U0 a year. The atate law fines them 8100 for each offense. But women are so anxious to get "good country butter" that they nearly always buy If the peddler looks enough like a farmer. In a suit In justice court here the de partment haa aucceeded in establishing that a label on a bulk package la not suf ficient to comply with the pure food law and that the label must be on the package sold to the customer. A butcher in Des Molnea had on hla counter a large Jar of lard properly labeled. It was shown aa being 90 per cent pork lard and 10 per cent beef fat. It waa shown that when people called for lard they were served from that Jar. The department contended that the Jar could as well have been under the counter or in the back room. Senatorial Campaign Is Ob. Governor Cummins will return from the east Tuesday and on Thursday has a date for a speech in his campaign. It Is under stood that from that time on 'hia time will be d j voted quite thoroughly te hla campaign for the United States senate. with the exception of probably a day or two each week, when he J will be in hla office at the state house to attend to of ficial matters. While the senatorial cam paign has been under way for some time the real opening comes now and will ter minate In two months, on June 2, with the primary election. Just what persona will sneak In ,the. Interests of Senator Allison and w hen his, speaking campaign will open li not yet known, aa the plana are not perfected. A document that promises to be of more vital Interest than the , famous Torbett Witter has been sprung in the campaign and like the Torbett letter Is given to the public through the standpat press, but promises to be even longer uvea, ine ai llson men are Jubilant over it. The Cum rains men for a day or two were down In the mouth, but now they profess to be aomewhat Jubilant and smile as they say that the end Is not yet. The document has no date and no sig nature, but the Capital of this city, which was the first paper to publish it in full claims that it waa written or dictated by Governor Cummlna to Ora Williams, a newspaper man and close friend of the governor. The alleged statement occupied ! about a column and a half of newspaper space and purports to be the position Gov ernor Cummins and his friends propose to take in regard to Taft as a presidential candidate. .Without quoting at length. It can be said that in ths statement it is represented that President Roosevelt has not treated the governor and his friends right; that while being for reform he has always treated and shown favors to ths re publicans of Jowa who are the enemies ot reform, and that Taft, if he propoaes to have the support of the Cummlna people, must not "repeat the blundera" of the Rooaevelt administration by turning down the Cummins people. Paragraphs of laterest. It should be understood that, according to the claims, this statement waa made early In the year 1908, before the atate con vention, and purports to be telling the Taft people wha they can expect from the Cum mlna people. From the article aa It ap peared in the Des Moines Capital these paragrapha are taken: I To be more specific, this Is the situation in Iowa at present, Lafa Young, editor cf the chief newspaper which ia regarded aa In the service ot the corporations, has enjoyed- personal cquatntance with Taft n.id he has tried to make himself chief Taft supporter in Iowa. He very much wants to get back Into politics after being out for a number of -years. He Is perhaps the most offensive standpatter and corporation man In the state, not merely because he his been a bitter factionalist and has repeatedly bolted the ticket, but because ot the com mon belief whether well founded is another matter that he Is a purchasable quantity and essentially dishonest in his political methods. He hss been vacillating. His support of the progressive movement wss literally purchased a few years ago. His antagonism to the movement made him rich. OiJy a few months ago he editorially declared Taft to be "a radical of the La Follette type,' und then bltterlv nsuild La Follette: yet he wauls to go to the na tional convention because he claims to be the special friend 4f Taft. This is cited only as an illustration. Thar are many others of those who have been talking Taft who aie or like caliber. They have tt?d up with the Taft movemint solely as a bandwagon proposltinn snd in the - hope they can thus ride hack Into power. The progressives believe that if these men were permitted to handle the Taft delegation they would betray Ts't at the first opportunity. It is largely because of thia strained re lation, and this cross-purpose worked out through factions, that it has been thus fr lm possible for Iowa to get together 'or Taft. f Whether the statement wss in fact made by Governor . Cummins or not progressives quite generally are admitting that It is a correct statement of the feelings thst the progressive have been entertaining towarda Taft and hla candidacy, and In the same breath they ask how Taft la going to ex plain having given out what en Ita face if a confidential communication. According to the Capital and other atate standpat newspapers, the statement went to Taft ar.d a copy found Ita wsy to the president's desk. In a later Issue the Capital says copies of the statement were given out In Iowa by Curtis Boyd, who was here for soma time aa the representative of Taft. The authorship of the statement seems not to have been cleared up aa yet, but It seems pretty sure that Governor Cummins nsver said It and did not not dictate It. The statement represented, and was an attempt to show, that the standpatters were not the people to trust with the Iowa allegation to the national convention. Since then the state convention has been held and the standpatters were In the saddle and se lected the bulk of the delegates, which makes the statement of peculiar Interest. As a matter of fact, the statement was written before Boyd ever saw Cummlna, and within a week after It waa written was In the hands of Taft. Troable of Democracy. Bryan men are Jubilant over the Cedar Rapids state convention and the lron-c'ad resolutions instructing the delegates under the unite rule to vote for Bryan for pres ident. At the same time there Is a note of apprehension with the great bulk of 'be democrats of the state as to what ht re sults of the convention will ultimately be. Many profess, however, that they can only be good. For seversl campaigns the control of the democratic party organization haa wavered between the radicals and the conservatlvea. Two years ago the conservatives, whom the Bryan men are pleased to call "the corporation crowd," got Into the aaddle and captured the state central committee. At the Cedar Raplda convention there waa every Indication that the Bryan men are In the saddle and that It only remains for the aecond convention to be held at Sioux City before the other fellows are turned out. C. W. Miller, chairman of the atate committee, (announced that he would not seek re-election, and Miller is the leader of the conservatives. But at the Lame time there was an ele ment In the party that turned down Gen. eral James B. Weaver for delegate-at-large. Weaver Is a Bryan man and an old wheelhorse, but the accepted Interpretation la that he was turned down because of his strong stand for temperance and hla activ ity In the temperance movement In thia state. Weaver accepted the challenge and has announced himself as a candidate for governor and there are signs that the liquor element In the party Is also to be estranged. Democrats have apprehensions. The party could atand a split over the question of whether the corporations should dominate tiie party or whether Bryan should load, but an additional split on the liquor ques tion may be too much. Liquor Mea Organised. The liquor men of Iowa are organised for the campaign that is now on and pro pose to meet the campaign of the temper ance people, who are seeking to secure the submission of another constitutions! amendment. Dell Huntoon, a former news paper man and later an Insurance man, to day opened headquarters for the liquor in terests in the Crocker building In this city. He .Is in charge and will send out litera ture and conduct a vigorous campaign. Istersrsss to Sloax City. A project for. an Interurban railway from Dea Moineao Bloux City ia being worked up by H. G. Que, a son of former Lieuten. ant Governor Gue. It Is proposed to touch all the Important cities between the two points. The communication between the two cities Is now very tndlrect and It is claimed that a line of the kind would be a business proposition. It would reach citlea between 6ioux Cfty and Des Moines having a total population of over KO.C00 people. . ' Iowa Mows Notes.

Officials of most of the big life Insurance companies state that a person who con sumes not more than six or seven glasses of beer per day Is as good a risk aa a total abstainer, and one of the largeat insurance companies In England found on a test covering forty years that the death rate amongst a class who were moderate drink ers of beer was lower than amongat total abstainers.

Itching, disfiguring eruptions, rashes, boils, etc., aa well as pimples, black beads and rough, scaly skin, show the presence of some irritating humor in the blood. These aciJs and humors with which the blood is infected are-being constantly thrown off through the pores and glands of the skin, and the flesh is kept in an inflamed, diseased and unsightly condition. Nothing applied externally can change the condition of the blood or prevent the outflow of these burning acids ; only constitutional treatment can do this. Washes, salves, lotions, etc., cannot reach the humor-laden blood,, and are therefore useless, except for the temporary comfort and cleanliness they afford. The acid poison in the blood must be removed before a cure can be effected. S. S. S. is a real blood purifier, possessing all the requirements necessary to neutralize and remove the humors from the circulation. It completely eradicates every trace of impurity and restores this vital fluid to its natural healthy state. S. S. S. cools the acid-heated blood so that instead of pouring out acrid matter on the skin, it feeds and nourishes it with health-sustaining properties, and then the eruptions and diseases of the skin pass away.

ATLANTA, die AFFAIRS AT S0UTI1 OMAHA Printing Contract a Smpl of Present Administration's Favoritism. HOW CONTRACTS MANIPULATED W. J. Measles, Collector far Ranresa Company, Charged with) F.mHes. slensent Alleged He gpent Money on Woman. One of the most paipaule acta of favor itism shown py the present mayor and council of tho city of South Omha was the action taken on the contract for pub llo printing and suppllea for the year 108. Bids were .advertised in proper fdm and three companies bid on the supplies, con sisting of blank forms of records, motions, rctitlons, resolutions and numerous kin dred requirements. These companies were: H. O. Pike for the Msglc City Printing company, White O'Brien and the Cltl. en Printing company. Mr. Pike made the lowest offer, which was a bedrock price, and on which he takes affidavit only a slender profit could be made. White A O'Brien were the high bidders, and the total of their bid was 8932.26. Mr. Pike's bid was 8875. or 8367.25 less. White O'Brien held the contract the previous year, being at that time the firm of Tan ner White. J. M. Tanner haa the city printing, being the editor of the South Omaha Dally Democrat, and one of the Inmost circle of democracy. After a week's deliberatipn the council rejected all bide on the ground that they were too high. The bids were readver tiaed. Mr. Pike could make no further reduction, being on bedrock. Nevertheless, White & O'Brien Immediately lowered their bid, and being given access to Mr. Pike's bid, knowing what it was and that he could not further reduce It and make a legitimate profit, they bid a small frac tion under on all Items and secured the contract by less than $60 difference In the second advertising. The mayor and council undoubtedly knew exsetly what would be done before rejecting the bid, for they did exactly the same thing ' for Tanner & White the year before. - They wanted White O'Brien to have the contract. The Magic City Printing company la one of the oldest and most reliable firms of the city. Mr. Pike asked While O'Brien point blank "where they expected to make their profit." "Oh, we'll make our profit all right." It can be done in the same man ner aa the defunct furniture deal, by hav ing the council committee on supplies or der better grades of piper and better styles of binding than the contract calls for and adding on the desired profit. The contract la a small atfalr, but It is only one of the many of exactly this stripe which has made the present administration no torious. WltnesB the furniture deal, which the district court overthrew, and In which the preaent city attorney advised the Omaha Printing company to bring suit sgalnst South Omsha in the county court with three bills of less than $1,000 each, so that the" court might atlll have Jurisdic tion. The city attorney was. it Is charged, planning to allow ' judgment 1 to stand against' the city. The charge Is made by the attorneya of Theodore TePoel, who was admitted aa an Intervener in the case. Menslea Charged, with Emhesslement. The South Omaha police arrested W. J. Menxles, 632 North Twenty-fourth street, on the charge of embexxlement Sunday morning.

The police say also that the temptations which Induced hla pilfer Ings waa a woman in Albright, whom he Induced to leave her home and for whose amusement he spent considerable amounts. Menxles wss much crestfallen when placed under arrest. He said he had Just been ap pointed by Mayor Hoctor on one of the election boards.
