Mr. Mancuao aayt the men are from Calabria, 1 1 Ik section of Kurope, and have bc?n In this country about three years; that they are quiet and inoffensive. Simeon Mancuso relates this story for his countrymen: "They remained another night at Ox ford, sleeping In the depot, and Wednes day morning went to Ploomlngton, under instructions of the railroad representatives to go to work. Two of the party were left at Oxford to work there. They arrived at Bloomington Wednesday morning and were assigned to a shanty ear aa their quarters, which they proceeded to fix up, Intending to begin work Thursday morning. Four UlrtDfrri After Them. "About 7 Vclock Wednesday evening four strangers appeared at the bunk car and asked the Italians what, they bad come there for and began to if nounee them at an Importation of foreigner! coming out there to work for less wages than the regular sections hands were then receiv ing, which was $1.35 per day. "They were unable to speak English, but managed to make thj men understand that they had contracted to work for 11.40 per day. They' were told to leave during the night and neve came back. They were badly frightened and within fifteen or twenty minutes after the four men left the car, a crowd of forty or fifty men tur- wpi TOU DEALER OR WRITE US.

The two Bablano brothers, Puerto, Tuccl and Dadaro fled together. The last they saw of Dodaro he was running toward the station for protection. Considerable shoot ing was going on In the meanwhile, but they do not know that anyone was hurt. None of the Italians was armed In any manner. The four men ran down the track toward a long bridge, and crossing It In the darkness, hid In an adjacent hay stack for the night. While they were hid near the bridge they overheard some of their pur suers making threat which they under stood meant that they would be severely treated if found. "The next morning about 7 o'clrck the quartet went back to the shanty and found that it had been looted. Two new trunks that the four had brought with them were gone, and in their place was a couple of dilapidated old trunks filled with old, dirty working clothes. Everything . else was missing, even to their cooking utensils, razors, brushes." EXPRESS RATES WILL BE CUT (Continued from Third Page.) Cleland was unanimously chosen president and W. R.

Water Works t utu premise. OMAHA, Neb.. April 10. To the Editor of The Bee: My position on water works Is well known to many. Two years ago I presented to the executive committee of the Commercial club a plan to avert the result which now confronts the people and seriously reflects on the municipal honor of Omaha. They never wanted and never Intended to pay more than one-half of lH.O0O.0no for the water works. A rote to buy them at either $5,U00,C0) or .000,ftP0 would have been overwhelmingly defeated, and everybody knows It. My proposition two years ago was to settle with the water company, discontinue dishonorable law suits, and release this great system of water works on fair and Just terms to the water company and to the people, for a period of twenty or twenty-flye years. 1 coupled with it a pledge of the public credit ' to build the Platte canal at a cost not to exceed $3,000, 000. This latter part I now disown, but renew the(suggestlon that a powerful com- miuee or new men be chosen by the Com mercial club and Real Estate exchange. wnose auly it shall be to confer with Pres ident Woodbury to find out If It la- still possible to adjust the great matter In the way I have thus indicated. OEOROE L. MILLER. Mot Very Inret Medicine. OMAHA, April 10. To the Editor of The Bee: I see you. ask for answer to the question, What shall we do about the water works decision? I don't ee how we can do anything now but either to appeal or take our medicine. It doesn't taste good, however, after all the sweet promises made us by those high-priced lawyer and Water board wiseacres. TAXPAYER. Cat Oat Ike Polities. OMAHA, April 10,-To the Editor of The. Bee: The Bee has been right all along In this water works matter, as proved by the present court decision. Every mistake made by the city was made against the advl'f) of The Bee, that warned all of the likelihood of disaster In the end. I think that advice given by The Bee from time to time in the proceedings should be looked Into now, and perhaps some way out can be found that will not be too burdensome on the city. There has been too much politic In this water work buying hereto fore. I am only a clerk, but I think It Is high time now to deal with it purely as a business proposition. ALBERT CHENEY. Y. M. C. A.

WELL-WISHES FROM CHRISTIE Hostile Member of School Board peak of Principal Waterhouse. "No one ha more sincere wishes for the success of Principal Waterhouse than I have, and I most sincerely hope he will like l.ls work In Fremont and that due appreciation will be shown," ssys Dr. W. H. Christie, member of the Board of Edu FLYING MACHIN Kept Strong and Vigorous to tho Ago of Live to' See His Live's Work Crowned N Mr. Henry Clarke Moore ,of age, has just completed his first lutionize the world. His brain has been kept clear and alert and the perfection of his invention made possible by his daily use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as his only invigorator and .tonic stimulant. Inventftr Moore firmly believed many year ago that a perfect flying , machine could be constructed. And he has spent his entire life to perfect hl3 invention. In an interview with our correspondent he ald. "I know my machine ia practical, and I hope with the help, of Cod and the aid of Duffy'a Pure Malt Whiskey to live long enough to see it in use commercially and in the army and navy." Speaking further Mr. Moore Bald: "For several years I had been greatly troubled with dormant and slug gish action of the lower bowels, which caused me intense suffering. No treat ment seemed to benefit me until finally I wits induced to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which I took according to directions a teaspoonful two or three times a day and it save me immediate relief. I steadily gained my health' and strength, until now I am as vigorous and active as man? of 60 years of. nae. My mind is as clear as it ever was, and I have done some of the best work on my Invention the last few years, which proves my mental and physical condition. Please bear in mind that I am a temperance man and do not advise V4 - . human race. There Is one thing certain if every one would do as much to educate the people to temperance aa the makers of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey do there would be no such thing as intemperance. I will be very glad if my interview will be the means of saving some of my poor sick sisters and brothers who before this have not heard of the great good they may receive from the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whlukey." Thousands of letters like this one from Mr. Moore are received from men and women who have been restored to notarial health by the use of the world's greatest tonic-stimulant and Invigorator. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is an absolutely pure distillation of malted gralu; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and productlng a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the mot effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; toftened by warmth and moisture its palatabllity and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. If you wish to keep young, strong and vigorous and have on your chteks the glow of perfect health, take Duffy's Pure Malt -Whiskey regularly, according to directions. It tones and strengthens the heart action and puri fies the entire system. It li recognUed as the great family medicine everywhere.. Duffy Mali WhUkey fo., Ro chester, N. y. cation, and who as chairman of tho com mittee on high school matters has led the losing fight In the board against the reten tion of the principal. "The one objection I have had to Mr. Waterhouse has been his seeming inability to draw the children to him and show them In a kindly .spirit the way things should be done and not force them to do It, thereby driving them from him. I am glad he ha secured this fine position and my well wishes will follow him wherever he goes." The statement Is made that probably nothing will be done towards electing a EINVE Tama, Iowa, who is 90 years of flying machine, which will revo except as a medicine, but I do firmly advise all old people and those who are run down to use Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as I have, as I believe it Is the greatest support to those who are weak ened by age. In my case it stimulated and built me up; it quick ened my circulation and made me feel more alert and able to do things. I believe in being temperate in all things, eating as well as drinking. In my opinion more sickness and breaking down of health tomes from over-eating than over-drinking, and If by some means the human be! 112 could be educated to strict temner- ' ance in all things, what a successor to Principal Waterhouse until later in tho school year.
