UBEL SUIT TO STATE COURT
tr. Jerome Will Preient World Mat
ter to Special Grand Jury.
IOOT AND KNOX TO TESTIFY
fen Who Conducted Negotiations for
Pnrchnse of Canal to Appear
In Inqnlrr at Wash,
tncton.
NEW YORK. Jn. 21. Speculation a to
s-hat action District Attorney Jerome had
lerlded to take In connection with the libel
' proceedings Instituted by the federal au
thorities tgatnst tlie New York World was
In no wax lessened today by. the admission
by that official that he had decided to pre
sent fho 'matter to a special Brand Jury.
Mr. Jerome conferred with Supreme Court
Justice bowling, at whose order the speelal
rand Jury was empanelled, but neither
would throw any light upon action contem
plated. The most persistant rumor was that
the presence before the special grand Jury
of Charles P. Taft' was desired bv Mr.
Jerome and that as aoon as his testimony
Is beard startling developments might bo
expected.
Among lawyer who, hare given particu
lar attention to I'nlted States law there Is
a growing belief that prosecution of the
Individuals responsible fur the publication
of the, alleged, libellous matter Is to he
based upon ari anrlent section of the federal
statute which empowers the federal au
thorities to proceed in criminal prosecutions
under state laws where the alleged overt
act has been committed on land ceded to
the United States, for use for a federal
reservation. In this Instance It Is tinder
stood tb? overt, art charged will be the
mailing of copies of the World containing
the alleged libel to a government reservation,-
such as Governors Island or West
Point. . The summoning of two of the
World's mailing room clerks before the fed
eral grand Jury yesterday would seem to
lend color to this view of the situation.
Law that May Be Invoked.
The section which It Is believed will be
Invoked i section W31 of the United States
revised statutes revised March 3, 1S25. Wil
liam J. Dempsey, foreman of the World
mailing room was the first of the World
men to be examined by United States dis
trict attorney Stelmsnn. Immediately upon

RUGGIST SAYS COOPER
WOKE UP RECENTLY
"(.in IS '
Westerner Claims Everybody Will Have To Take
His Medicine Eventually.'
New York has never before witnessed
uch a spectacle as may be seen every day
At Broadway and Ninth street. It is here
,'Jial L.: T. Cooper,, the Western stomach
ologist. who claims that stomach trouole
Is st the bottom of all chronic 111 health,
la meeting the public.
It would be difficult to estimate Just
how many people call to talk with Cooper
during a single day. The store where he
Is holding forth seems to have become the
Mecca for ailing people In New York, and
the amount of medicine he is disposing
is enormous. In addition to what he
self himself, druggists generally through
out New York are handing his prepara
tions out In unlimited quantities.
A. leading druggist said recently: "The
public seem to have lost Ha mind over
this man Cooper. Personally, I don't
know anything about hla medicine. We
bad nothing to do with his comlag to
Nw York and he h.as until recently sold
hts preparation entirely through one com
pany. I suppose he thought New York
was like one of his Western towns and
everybody could be supplied from a corner
drug store. He woke up about a week
ago and put It on sale everywhere. Since
then we have , been selling It. I' don't
know how long this demand will last, but
1 hsvo never before seen anything like
It." .
, In an. Interview Monday afternoon
Cooper said: "I am not making any wild
claims for my medicine. All it does Is to
stimulate the gastric Juices and regulate
the digestive organs, but people do not
eallsd how splendid their health would
be If only their stomachs were not lan
guldo and enfeebled by years of abuse.

MAYOR HITS ATREALTY MEN
Dnhlmnn Declares Time Not Now
Hlpe for Bill' Consolidating
Omaha nd "oath Omaha.
"Toe democratic legislature is not so
gullible as some members of the Real Es
tate exchange stem to think arid C. F.
Harrison is mlghtfly mistaken If he thinks
that now is the time to 'butt In'' with a
bill to consolidate the cities of Omaha and
South Omaha," said Mayor Dahlman. when
he read In tho pajiers of the decision of
the exchange to draft a bill. to consolidate
and present It to the assembly. The theory
of the exchange was to fret Mr, Bryan to
O. K. the measure, his. approval being con
sidered as practical assurance' of Its pas
sage by the democratic legislature'.
The mayor said that the democratic leg
islative candidates made promises during
tho campaign, that no annexing program
would bo attempted in the present session
if they were elected, "and they Will keep
their word." The executive Is of the opin
ion that the best way to go about consoli
dation business is to put the proiwsltlon
In a platform and let the people vote
whether they want the legislature to make
Omaha and South Omaha Into one large
city.
"Nino out of ten people who have called
today have been sent here ' by others.
Sooner or later every tired, half-sick man
and woman In New York Is going to try
my medicine. They can't help It. After
I leavo New York I shall take two
month' rest and then go to'. London to
Introduce Cooper's New Discovery In
Kngland "
Among New Yorkers who have recently
beccnirt enthusiasts on ' the subject of
Cooper's medicine is George J. Scott, of
No. 274 West Nineteenth street, who said
Monday afternoon: t'lt Is hard to realize
that any medicine will do all that Is
claimed for It.
"I have taken all kinds of medicine for
ten years and this js the first I, have ever
found that wua worth two cents.' ' I have
had rheumatism constantly. tor ten ycara
and have spent a quarter of what . I made
for doctors and medicine. I might have
taken so much rain water for all the good
they did me,. Before 1 had. taken this
Cooper's NewDlscovery a tt'eek I realized
It was worth something. I have taken It
a month and I am as well as I ever was
In my life. I have no' rheumatism and
eat llko a horse. I feel like doing some
thing now, where a month ago hated to
walk a block. When I first bought It I
thought it was another f,ake, but now I
know better. All the other stuff' I have
tak.in was worth nothing;' this ' la worth
ten, yes. twenty times what they aak for
It."

the cutting of the first crop. It usually
require two crops off the greater portion
of the lake's surface to fill the large
houses. The Ice Is still good, the warm
weather of the last few days not having
damaged the quality. This is explained.
rirst, trom the fact that the Ice was
ccered with snow. Secondly the sun has
not shone on the Ice since the warm
weather was so pronounced. . For this rea
son the product has not honey-combed as
It usually does under a warm sun. The
tracking company has been running a good
force of men and making the best of the
cutting for over a week. There Is enough
Ice In storage to Insure ngalnat any In
convenience In the packing housj for the
ensuing year.
Yladort Open to Footmen.
The contractors announce thnt the Q
Btreet viaduct will be thrown open to foot
men some time today. Considerable com
plaint has been heard at the alleged delay
of the contrsctors In making the viaduct
safe for the use of the throngs of punple
who crosa daily under the structure upon
the railroad tracks. With the opening of
the viaduct one of the best Structures of
the kind In the west will oe completed.
Tho subfloor of the roadway Is nearly all

Presbyterian Brotherhood Organise.
The South Omaha Presbyterian F.rother
hood was organized at a meeting last night
at the Presbyterian church. It begins with
a charter membership of about twenty-Mve.
The meetings are to be held ,'he third
Monday evening of each noiu!i.
The following officers were elected:
Charles- Mahl, president; J. - D. Courtney,

Bible leader.
Lit e Stock ' Men to Denver.
South Omaha Is sending a number if
commission men and representatives of
allied Interests will be In the roil of visitor
to the live stock show In progress this
week In Denver. This show Is one of the
best stock shows of the country.' It 'is
attended by cattlemen from hundreds of
western ranges. The prize cattle seen thers
are not excelled In the west. The-Omaha
commission and live stock men ;n general
annually visit these shows, which uro suid
to Improve annually. F. J. Moriaity left
yesterday afternoon. J. J. Fitzgerald,
John O'Hern and a number of. others will
leave Friday or Saturday. The South
Omaha delegation which went to Pocatello
stopped over In Denver on the way home.
? Donovltt'h la t'aptnred.
The day after It had been announced
by thd police that, they had no trace of
the mar. who shot Dan Miller, the Aus
trian, on New Year's night, the police
deportment received a quiet, tip that he
had gyne to Kansas City. The police
worked on the ..suggestion .and Chief
Bnjggs warned the police in Kansas City..
With th ald'of an Austrian whom It Is
sai Donovlteh had anV ctit up badly
with--'a butcher knife,, the Kansas offi
cers were able to locate Donovltch Mon
day night. P. H. Shields waa dispatched
to Kansas City Tuesday and reported
that he had the right man. He will re
turn this morning". '
There seems to. be two sides to the
story of the shooting, and It is said Miller
was making a threatening advance on
Donovltch when the shot was fired.
This point of the case does not concern
the activities' of the police.
Bishop Williams Released.
BIhop Williams of the African Apos
tolic church, who has bderi In' Omaha and
South Omaha for some, time soliciting
for a child saving Institute for negro
children and who has been arrested In
Omaha for alleged fraudulent practice,
but who was exonerated of the aame and
who was later arrested In South Omaha
for, alleged wife desertion, was released
after a call directed to Kansas City,
where his wife lives, had failed to show
that she felt any grievance toward him.
It Is now considered that the bishop ha
been trying to do-a fair work In the city
and that he has been unfortunate, if not
persecuted, in his relations with the police.-
About a year ago a colored man
succeeded in beating a number of peo
ple out of some niony by fraud, and this
case, it appears, has resulted In the dis
crediting of a man whose Intentions were
good and whose methods and accounts
are correct. The bishop has rented quar
ters and expected, with the arrival of his
wife, to open the home.
Snlt Involves- Karhange Membership.
A. A Nixon has commenced suit against
Casslun W. Sparger for the recovery of
the amount of a promissory note which
was said to have been secured by the
deposit of a membership In the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange. Sparger,
through his attorney, attempted to re
plevin the membership, but it failed from
the fact thrft the deputy sheriff gave
hack the certificate after he had had it
In his: possession. He claims, however,
that, he has contracted prior lien hold
ing good before the promissory note. A.
A. Nixon wants the Interest of Sparger
in the certificate foreclosed and the bal
ance of his note, amounting originally to
$1,116, awarded to him in judgment.
Defends O Street Grading;.
Dr. W. J. McCrann of South Omaha de
fends the propoaed plan for the grading
of O street from Twenty-second street to
Twentieth In the following letter:
SOL'TH OMAHA, Neb., Jan. W.-To th
Kiiltor of The Bee: I have noticed several
articles in our dally paprrs lately regard
ing the grading of O street, and while
they are trying to be fair in furnishing
their readers with news, they are writing
altogether from one side. Kindly let your
papers hava the (ruth and facts regarding
tl.e grading and opening of other streets
In our city. When they read aueh facts
ar.d figures it will not be such a btig-a-boo
or look ao bad to them. First, great
stress is put upon the expense, which is
quoted at X21.oui. This Is quoted, as
strange as it, may appear. IIO.OO too high,
as the present bids will indicate when they
are opened. Only 90.000 yards of dirt is
lequlred to make the flil at thirteen cents
a yard It amounts to 111.700. Deduct the
croMtngs. aud Intersections which the city
st large pays and It will lsve bet we -i
ax.Oto and SH.0O0 instead of S21.O0O. As re
gards Mr. Hoetor'a veto of the grading
and opening of O street I wil simply sav
the long.-r he lives the more plainly ha will
be convinced of his error in obstructing
the development in the heart of our city
of one of its most eaetttiMal thoroughfares.
At the same time he will learn the hard
ship It has worked upon hundreds of men,
women and children, east of Twentieth
from O to Q streets, who are compelled to
walk from one to six blocks out of their
way In the early morning to reach the
various places of their dally occupation.
All those living esst of Twentieth on O
snd P streets mum go to Q street before
they can reach Twenty-fourth street, and
come back to Twenty-fourth and O streets
if they sre working In the Omaha Pack
ing house, the xchsnge building, In Ion
stock yards or the Independent packing
house on I street. One block nut of the
way tn men, ahd .Women who must go to
work - early mana a great deal ai any
time, but when they are compelled to make
these trips through snow, mild and sleet
It means a grest desl more to them.
Again, between Vi and 300 school children
Sre dally attending 'lie Jungmnn school
on Twentieth and O streets A large num
ber of theee children sre living on the
west side and are compelled to ao all the
way from -one to six blocks o'.it of their
wav each dsy. To them this means a
great desl in' iinesonnbl weather. All
this hardship forced upon our fellow-cltl-tena
for the sake of filling and grading
two blocks. hv should these tax-payers
snd home builders be considered less
worthy of the benefits of city Improve
ments? While it Is stated their taxes do
not amount to much, yet, when you con
sider they sre bulldltig homes. paying
taxee and supporting families out of their
small earnings, they are contributing much
to the city and are worthy as much con
sideration aa the citizens that are living
on the following streets, which have been
paved and graded by the city at large:
Twenty-fourth street, being paved twice;
I street. Missouri avenue. J street. Thir
tieth street, snd Twenty-fifth street.
Of course, as above slated. It Is said
their taxes do not amount to much. Well,
the laboring clsss of any tlty. as a rule,
are not big taxpayers ss individuals, but
aa a whole they amount to a great deal
and they pay very liberally for the mu-nh-lpal
advantages furnished them, espe
cially In this part of the town east of
Twentieth street, when you consider the
ract mat iney naj;e ncitner sewers, iignts,
streets, or the proper fire and police pro
tection. It should not be a question with
progressive citizens about paving two
blocks on O street, but every cross street
from A- street to the county line and from
Twenty-fourth to Thirteenth should meet
early attention, while all efforts should be
centered at the present time to force
through M, N. O. P. and Q to Thirteenth,
and the grading of all five of those stre-ts
would not amount to the expense of one
grading of Twenty-fourth street.

"He Isn't my burglar, salT Gasklll aa
he took another peek at the outside.
Mrs. Donahue' had telephoned to the po
