Valon Pacific In Now Conjuring with
Ihf Problem and Slay Decide to
Take Irnln Oft Schedule
for a While.
"The Los Angeles Limited," the crack
L'nlon Pacific flyer between Omaha and
he Pacific count, 1s locked up for thirty
days.
Following advices from Salt Lake City
that the palatial train is storm-bound
somewhere In the Utah-Nevada country,
local railroad officials are trying to., solve
the difficulty by routing passengers on the
new San Francisco Limited and probably
will Issue an order camelling the Lot
Angeles Limited for a month.
Monduy and Tuesday night at Union
station passengers and depot employes
waited for the train that never came. Then
there came word that the Los Angeles
flyer was lost south of Salt Lake City, and
was tied tip by storms. Whether there
were any Omaha people on the train Is
not known.
Wednesday morning word reached the
city that probably no trains would be run
over the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake road for thirty days owing to wash
outs. Bridges are reported out and many
miles of track unsafe. All trains are ma
rooned. The Salt Lake route carries the
Union Pacific train from the Mormon city
to Los Angeles.
During the tieup arrangements have been
made to transfer all westward bound pas
"sengers to the Southern Pacific, at Ogden
carrying them thence to California.

Does to Many Omahans, Who
Will Be Interested to Know
of His Plight.
United States Commissioner Oustave
Anderson has received a summons from the
United States district court for the north
ern district of California to appear In
San Francisco as a witness for the govern
ment in the case of the United States
against Howard K. Clover, under arrest
fhre for Impersonating an officer of the
United States navy.
A person of the name of Howard K.
Clover appeared In Omaha about ten year
ago and announced that he was an officer
of the navy, but not then on active duty,
and proceeded to Interest a number of
Omaha people In the establishment of the
Omaha Gas Engine and Motor company.
Clover wbb a handsome fellow and a fine
talker and had little trouble In getting his
company organized, with Omaha Incorpo
rators and to sell stock in the enterprise.
He presented,' what seemed unquestioned
credentials that he was what he pretended
to be and sailed high. He claimed also
to be a relative of Commodore Clover, the
American naval attache to the ministry of
the Court of St. James.
After a while Clover disappeared and the
company he had floated and stocked to
the financial discomfort of sVveral
Omahans collapsed.
Clover was arrested In San Francisco
several months ago on the charge of
swindling and Impersonating an officer of
the navy, but It has been extremely diffi
cult to secure tangible evidence against
him. This Is Omaha's first news of him
In ten years.
In addition to Judge Anderson, O. A.
Llndqulst of Omaha Is also summoned as
a witness for the government.
Stroud Offers
to Remove Snow
Will Clean All . the Streets if City
. Will Supply the Horses
Only.
The glacial deposits which so long ago
began 'to bury the streets of Omaha can
be removed at the' rate of 3,000 cublo yards
a day If the city will -furnish teams to op
erate the wagons and machinery.
Stroud & Co., vehicle and implement man
ufacturers, have offered the city the serv
ice of wagons enough to haul 2,000 loads a
day, and enough machinery and men to
load the Icy covering. The city street de
partment will bo asked to furnish the
horses to operate the machinery, which In
cludes the dray wagons and elevating grad
ers to hoist the loads. Foremen to handle
the machines will also be furnished by the
company.
Colonel Stroud's proposition does not In
volve the promise to have the snow stop
falling, nor clean the streets .every time U
does- fall. 1
Mayor Dahlman and Street Commissioner
Flynn say they will cogitate on the matter
before announcing their decision.
AD CLUB REAL ON BOOSTING
Omaha Meu Are i'ralard fur the Work
They Did at the Last HI
t'ouvrullou.
Colonel J. McCarthy of University .City.
advertising manager for the Lews pub
lications, spoke to the Omaha Ad club
Wednesduy noon at the Home.
"I don't believe any city was ever better
represented at a convention than was
Omaha when it secured the meeting for
U)10 of, the National Ad clubs," said Mr.
McCarthy, who was one of the chief boost
ers for Omaha. "That bunch would make
a good permanent bunch of convention
boosters.
"All forma of advertising are good, some
forms are better, but they all depend for
success on the ability of the man In charge
lo choose which is the best for hid class of
goods. Accomplishment gives the real in
spiration for more advertising."
The annual election of officers of tiie
Omaha Ad club will bo held nixt month
and considerable Interest atiaches because
of the coming of the national convention.
A boosting committee has been appointed
to secure new members that Omaha may
be lu position to make a big showing this
summer.
WHITE SOLDIERS BURY NEGRO
Military Funeral Ulven a Veteran of
Several Wsn, with a Good
Iteeord.
A newly mude grave In the military ceme
tery at Fort Crook holds the body of First
Sergeant Solomon Hollomon, Troop A,
Ninth cavalry, the first negro s ldler to be
Uurted there and the first negro soldier
to be bmied by a squad composed of white
soldiers.
Sergcanf Hollomon saw long service In
the army. He en. luted in August, 18G6, and
was In the service for more than thirty
three years. He took part in Indian cam
paigns, tl.e Spanish-American and the
l'hitlpplne cump&liins. He was made
eharp shooter fur proficiency In the use of
the rifle. He had lived in Omnha ten years
as a retired soldier, making his connection
with the army extend over, a period of
forty-one years.
Serint Hoilonion had been 111 a little
more Iran a year. He leaves a widow end
four cui.d:en.
Government officials have Just seised
seventeen barrels of alleged butt' r.
John F. Herd, government revenue- agent
for the Nebraska-Iowa district, has Just
returned from Sioux City, where he made
a sclxure of seventeen barrels of alleged
butler, amounting to over 5,000 pounds, from
the lilue Valley Creamery company of that
city.
The butter was consigned to the Sioux
City concern by Henry J. Mueller, a butter
broker of St. Joseph, Mo.
A preliminary examination of the buttei
Bhows that It contains a large percentage
of foreign fat and that it comes under the
head of colored oleomargarine. Sampled
from each barrel of the butter were sent
to Washington today for complete analysis.
The seizure was made under the law that
the goods are forfeitable for not being
tamped as colored oleomargarine. Mueller,
the alleged manufacturer, Is liable to a
heavy fine for manufacturing oleomargar
ine without paying trie special tax and tor
putting the product on the market Illegally.
The complaint lies against the St. Jo
seph broker and not against the Blue
Valley Creamery company at Sioux City,
although the selsure and confiscation of
the butter was made from the Sioux City
establishment.
It appears that the Sioux City concern
is an. Innocent purchaser of the butter,
having bought It for the purpose of re
manufacture Into legitimate process butter,
and presumed it to be genuine butter.
The dlsctfvery of the fraudulent char
acter of the butter was made by Revenue
Agent Heed, who happened to be in Sioux
City, and was on a visit to the Blue Val
ley Creamery company, when the consign
ment of butter arrived from St. Joseph.
From long experlnce he was at once en
abled to detect the fraudulent character of
the stuff, and made Immediate seizure.
Stolen Gifts
Amounted to
$600 or $700
Estimated Value Placed on Losses
from Van Barn Between Christ- '
mas and New Tear's.
The robbery of a waif on load of New
Tear's Christmas and New Year's gifts .n
the Omaha Van and Storage company's
barn qn the night of December 29, netted
the thief a considerable sum of money.
The total arrount of the robbery is not
to be computed accurately, as many of
the express receipts have not been traced,
but is estimated at between G00 and $700.
The packages robbed and stolen bodily
from the barn were taken there from a
late train on the night o( December 29. On
account of the hour It was not convenient
to place the valuable paroels Ih a vault.
The police and detective forces are much
hampered In the pursuit of the' thief In
that It is practically mposlble to get
proper descriptions of the stolen goods.
It Is understood that claims have been
presented for only a part of the missing
packages, and for the present tho primary
step of locating the plunder, can not be
taken.
The detectives admit that it is obvious
that the robbery was committed by some
one who had familiarized himself
thoroughly with the situation. He probably
followed the wagon load of express pack
ages Into the bara and remained con
cealed there until late enough to begin
operations.
The express companies which turned tho
goods over to the Omaha Van and Storage
company for delivery are not, they claim,
disturbed about the affair. They are se
cured against loss by the delivery company.

It Has Become Popular Becanan
Cotter itraa Gone Up So

Now, watch it soar.
Butterlne is now in great demand in
Omaha, because the price of butter Is
scaring around 40 cents. The retail price
of butterlne Is 15, 20 and 23 cents and
nearly all the grocers are laying In stocks.
"All restaurants and hotels are using
butterlne and oleomaigarlne, because cf
the high price of butter," said J. B. Cun
ningham, editor and publisher of the Re
tall Merchants Journal. "There has been
considerable inquiry as to the law on the
subject, but the books plainly ssy that all
public places which use the substitutes for
butter must have signs over each tabU,
saying, "We use butterlne here." ThUi
applies also when It Is used In the kitchen."

Outside cleanliness is less than half the hattlt. A man miy
scrub himself a dozen times day, and still be unclean. Good
health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means
a clean stomach, clean koweis, clean blood, clean liver, and

will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think
clean, clear, healthy thoughts.
