Heroes at Fur Dealer's
House.
A gasoline stove explosion In the kitchen
of the home and place of business of Don
Kercu, a dealer tn Bklns and furs at 119
North Fourteenth street, was prevented
from resulting in serious damage to at least
one life and hundreds of dollars wprth of
sheep skins and other pelts by the prompt
and courageous work of two firemen and
the son of the proprietor.
Pat Dore of fire company No. 3, and Jim
Anderson of truck company Na. 1, were
the firemen who were first Inside the house.
Louis Bercu, son of Don Bcrcu, and one
of the proprietors of the Continental hotel,
happened home for dinner at noon Tuesday
Just In time to see his mother, Mrs. H.
Bercu, standing beside the gasoline stove,
which exploded and burned her slightly.
Rushing to her side, young Bercu
dragged his mother away from the blaz
ing stove and its surroundings, after she
had been burned slightly on the hands
and arms. He seized an old quilt and
threw it over ihe stove, after which Fire
men Dore and Anderson took his place, as
they were dressed in oilskins and wore
! gloves, which made it possihle for them
to handle the flames with less danger to
themselves.
The troublesome stove, covered with the
quilt, which was beginning to burn up,
was picked up by the two fire fighters,
one at each end, and before It had
spread the flames much It was car
ried out and placed In tne yard, where it
could do no further dajnage. Core's hair
and eyebrows were badly singed sn.l his
face was burned somewhat, while Anderson
escaped without any burns.
The blase was quickly extinguished by

Jumping Into the breach while a publicity
bureau Is being organized by the Commer
cial club of Omaha, hotel men have
pledged $2,600 to the support of the bureau
fjr the first year, and Becretery Irvln A,
Medlar, secretary of thev local association
of hotel men, has been instructed to secure
the signatures of the hotel owners not a!
ready signed. A large number, represent
inx half the amount, have remitted.
This is the second step In a movement
started by C. C. Rosewater of the publicity
and promotion committee of the Comrnor
clal club to organize the work In such a
way that the things people want to know
about Omaha may be readily given to In
quirers and supplies to the publications
which dally want such Information. With
big conventions selecting Omaha as their
meetlne 'lace and thousands of eastern
people In erested in the city, demands are
made, daily on the Commercial club which

limited resources of the organisation as
compared to others r-errVrmlng the work
in other cities, almost all of which have
a bureau separately supported to look after
the work unher the head of "publicity."
The organization back of Mr Rosewater
consists of Rome Miller as vice chairman.
W. A. Baxter as secretary and W. H.
Bucholz. cashier of the Omaha National
bank, as treasurer.
These men propose in raise a fund to pay
the expense of a publicity bureau In con
nection with the Commercial Vluh. similar
to the plan on which the wholesalers main
tain a "traffic bureau." with Mr. McVann
as manager, except that the publicity
bureau will need a modest sum as com
pared to the amount contributed by he
wholesalers to support the traffic bureau.

MAYOR TAKES 10 WARPATH
Denounces Democrats Who Helped
Elect Burmester President.
MEN HE TRIED TO DEFEAT
Commending Barmester, Dahlmaaj
cores Democrats and Their
Friends ar They Simply Got
Fven with Him.
Mayor Dahlmsn Is mad n those demo
crats who Joined hands with the repub
licans and elected a republican president
of the city council. Some of his demo
cratic friends, It Is said, have evened up
old scores.
"I can not possibly conceive of anything
worse than a man. who will betray his
pnrty," said Mayor Dahlman. "A man who
will betray is unworthy to be called a
party man and he should be subjected to
the severest of criticism. And W'hen It
comes to criticising, here Is one man who
is going to do it to those four so-called
democrats everywhere nnd anywhere and
all the time."
The mayor says It was all a put up deal
to elect Councilman Burmester of the
Third, republican, president of the council;
that It was cut and dried before the eoun
cllmen went into session Monday after
noon and that the first twenty-four ballots
were merely taken for n blind. Further,
he says he has known a'l along that the
four democrats have neer been friendly
to him and that ho has always feared
them.
While only three of the six democrats
voted for the republican, Mayor Dahlman
classes a fourth, Funkhouser of the
Eleventh, with them. The other three are
Brucker of the Fifth. Sheldon of the Sixth
nd Johnson of the Fourth.
"Funkhouser," he says, "was In the deal,
when he saw that his vote was not neces
sary, he played double traitor traitor to
his party and traitor to those In the com
bineand voted for a democrat as a blind.
Dirty fhame, He "aya.
'It is a downright, dirty shame to elect
as president of the council a republican
who will act as mayor In my absence or
In the evenf of my sickness or possible
death. The people of this city have now
twice elected a democrat for mayor by
overwhelming majorities.
"By their votes they have said they want
a democrat for mayor. But these so-called
democrats, for the sake of a few com
mittee chairmanships, sell out their party
and elect a republican who may at any
time during the next three years becrme
mayor. We, none of us, know how long
we are good for In this world, and these
four councllmen have sold their party to
the republicans by their Infamous action
yesterday.
"The election of a republican was wholly
uncalled for. and Councilman Bridges, a
democrat, could have been elected any
time. This I know. If they had balloted
for several weeks without result then a
break might have been excused. But their
going over to the republicans on the twenty-fifth
ballot waa a brazen act, palpable
on Its face."
Get Even with Jim.
The result of the council organization
calls to mind the pre-prlmary campaign,
when It was plainly seen, say city hall
men, that the mayor started out to de
feat Brucker, Sheldon, Johnson and Funk
houser. Ed Dawler was put up against
Brucker, Dan Canon against Sheldon, Bob
Holmes against Johnson and R. A. Schnei
der against Funkhouser. Colonel Berry
man's entrance Into the campaign com
plicated affairs and the mayor's hands
were kept full with his own fight and the
objectionable councilmen were renomi
nated. "Councllmen Bridges and McOovern are
the only democratic friends I have In the
council," said the mayor. "I have noth
ing against Mr. Burmester. he Is better
than any of these other four so-called
democrats, but It Is the principle of the
thing I object to. It was a complete sell
out of the party."

write warm words of praise for Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, the world's greatest tonic and body builder.
They recommend it to the old and young, as they be
lieve, taken as prescribed, "it will prolong life eight
to fifteen years."
MR. AND MRS. ROBERT CRAIG. EACH 74 YEARS OLD
"My wife and I each are over "4 years of age and have been so mucr
benefitted by, and have no much faith In, the uniform purity and valuablt
medical qualities of Duffy's Pure Malt W'hlakey, that we send you thla state
ment along with our photos.
"About eight years ago I had disease of the heart, dropsy nd catarrh.
My physicians cured the dropsy and helped the heart trouble greatly, then
advised me to use pure whiskey In one tablespoon dose twice a day. We
failed to obtain as pure whiskey anywhere to suit my case aa Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. li which we have great confidence, and from our experience
with it thus far believe. If used in small doses daily, it will prolong the life of
old people eight to fifteen years by helping to keep the smallest blood vessels
clearer of osslflc deposits on their sides that prevent the free flow of blood to
every part of the body. The deposit from smoke In a pipe will Illustrate thla
theory In part. '
"In Noah'a time people drank pure grape wine, used a Bimple diet, and
lived (to be very old.
"We are opposed to Intemperance, and are in favor of such lawa as will
put intoxicating drink out of the reach of those who damage themselves and
others by such drinks, when they do not need them for medical use.
"Only such makers of honest reputation aB Duffy should supply his
country with pure malt whiskey for medical use only." Mr. Robert Craig,

Pap Hunters
Besiege Office
of Engineer
Swoop Down on Craig in Large Num
bers Looking for Jobi
Under Kim.
Political pap hunters have forsaken the
office of the mayor temporarily and the
offices of City Engineer Craig were
crowded all day Tuesday with men looking
for political Jobs. One after another they
were admitted to the august presence of
the engineer, but five minutes was the
limit placed on each applicant and under
this rule Mr. Craig received scores of(ap
pllcatlnns during the day. No promises
were made, however.
"Their appointments will not necessarily
mean that other Inspectors will be let out
later on," said Mr. Craig. "Appointments
of the regular force of the engineering
department will be made next Tuesday
night and not before."
The city engineer Is a republican, but
democratic leaders say he will have to ap
point some democrats if the republicans
hope to confirm the republican appointees
the mayor has promised to name in some
departments over which he has Jurisdiction.
However, the organisation of the council
may make some change In this and demo
crats confess that the republicans have
the "whip hand" In the council.
The mayor, on the other hand, says the
organization will not affect him in the
least and that he will send to the council
the names of men now determined upon.
"I have decided upon certain men for
certain positions, and if the cojncll refuses
to confirm these men It will see the pret
tiest fight ever pulled off in this city," said
the mayor. "The change in the charter
which prohibits me from sending In the
name of an appointee more than twice
will not tie my hands by - any means. I
will find enough men to appoint, and if
necessary I will take the registration
books and begin with the. Third ward and
appoint every man there If necessary.
"In the meantime, my present appointees,
who are democrats, will hold over until
the council gets ready to confirm their sue
cessors."
