From a Staff Correspondent.)
PEfl MOINES, March 5. (Special. )-Thii
leglslatlva program for the comlnd week
In not very clearly defined. Mem hers of
the letrtHlAlure returning from their homes
report that thers la not very srreat Interest
taken In the proceeding and very little
disposition to criticise. , The Idea that the
legislature haa beon Idling away Its time
the last two months Is not borne out by
the records; In. fact, the record shows a
Teat amount of real work done and a con
dition of the legislative calendars that will
permit of quick disposal of the Important
matters. .
Practically all liquor legislation has been
disponed of. for there will not be any
radical legislation, and It Is foregone that
the legislature will not approve of a pro
posed amendment to the conHtitution.
There will be little highway legislation.
The large general bills which have been
prepared will not receive any considera
tion. Provision will be made for enlarging
the general road fund by a part of the
automobile license fees, and that will be
about all that can be done for the high,
ways.
Hnhool legislation In also at a discount
and very little will be done. The woman
suffrage amendment will get a hearing
tomorrow afternoon, but probably a hear
ing will be all. The resolution condemning
President Taft on his measure for reel'
prorlty Is hanging fire In the senate, but
will be permitted to die there. The Income
tax matter Is out of the way and the tax
ferrets have been disposed of.
There Is no doubt that the Oregon plan
bill will be neatly burled in a few days
and will ceam to be a cause of trouble.
rnatoraIp Still I p In Air.
In regard to the senatorshlp, It appears
that nothing has been done during the
recess. An effort has been made to line
up the democrats to vote for Judge Kenynn,
In view of the fact that It Is now certain
he cannot secure all the republican votes,
but this has not been successful. Some
of the democrats have shown Inclination to
vote for, Judge Iemer, but will not do so
unless all go together. The defeat of the
Oregon plan bill may o release the demo
crats .that they will want to help In dis
, posing of the whole matter. But the re
publicans who have thus far returned to
the city do not show any signs of a change
of sentiment. ' The Deemer men are per
haps a Uttle more fixed In their determin
ation to stand by blm than are the Kenyon
men. It Is known that Congressman
Charles E. Pickett expects to be here
this week to see what he can do toward
straightening out the senatorial matter And
he will probably receive some votes from
his dlstrlft.

CR.i Benedict.' clerk of the house of
representatives, has compiled and had
printed In the House Journal a complete
record 'of all.' tbs. hills that have had the
attention of vthe bqsse. This Includes the
S93 house bills and fifty-nine that have
corns from' the senate. Most of them are
In the hands of committees, but will come
out within a week. Tht record shows that
the usual amount of business has been
done by the committees. .
n(HrFaat 'trit Car System.
H. W. Byers, municipal counsel for Xea
Motnes, Is preparing a bill for the legis
lature that will open the way for city
ownership of the street car system. B. J.
Arnold of Chicago, expert on city owner
ship, la quoted as saying of the situation
here:
"I do not know of a city In the United
States in better shape ,to try municipal
ownership than Is es Moines at present.
"I cannot see any reason why the Des
Moines street car system does not pay,
provided the proper management is pro
vided, i
"The valuation placed upon the system
does not seem too high, to give an off
hand opinion.
"There Is nothing here, in my opinion,
to make the operating expenses above. the
ordinary," '
Celebrate ' Miss Anthony's Birthday.
The Women's ChrlHtlun Temperance
union of Des Moines ask that February 9,
the date of the anniversary of the birth
of Susan B. Anthony be made, a national
holiday.
The national .organization has memor
ialised congress to set this day apart as
a national day for the observance of the
people.
The local unions are In sympathy with
this national movement and have dune

I.arrabee na the Bale lotnry.
Governor William Darrabee, who has
long taken an active part in the fight
for better regulation of freight rates, has
written to Senator Cummins the follow
ing regarding the recent rate decision:
I have Just heard of the decision of the
Interstate Commerce commlRlon refusing
to allow the raise of rates asked hy the
railroads I have read the testimony
printed by the railroad wen and I am
cat 1st led the decision is a Just one. It
must afford you much satisfaction, as It
Is the result of your amendments to the
lawn. You have left, 1 suppose, from
fcy).mn.000 to Il00.000.otx) of money In the
pockets of the people that would other
wise have gone Into the railroad coffers.
I wish the people appreciated fully the
profits accruing to them through your
labors In the Interstate Commerce law.
Your amendment that brought about this
decision was a stemwlnrter. Had the rail
roads received the advance that they were
after they would have had a corruption
fund that would enable them to control
the next presidential election In spite of
all that honest people could do. Tour
friends expected good work from you. but
your good work has already far exceeded
anything that they had any right to
expect.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Another Industry is About to Be
Located in the City.
EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY PEOPLE
Ohio (onrrrn that Manafart urea fans

respondence xrlih Mayor
Trnlnor.
The prospect ef a new Industry being lo
cated In South Omaha and one that will
give employment to many persons will be
gratifying news to the people of the city.
The announcement came through Mayor
Tralnor, with whom the Ze-roxe Manufac
turing company of Clevelsnd, O., has been
In, communication. Officers of the company
have written him that It In desirous of
securing a location for the erection of a
plant for the manufacture of sanitary glass
lined milk cans. Insulated milk and Ice
cream cans, oyster cans and all descrip
tions of this sort of sanitary ware.
The company has Informed the mayor
that It will require about three acres of
land which must be situated Inside the
city limits, and adjacent to railroad tracks
and a paved street. The factory when com
pleted will employ about l'0 men and a
number of girls.
The company has let It be understood
that It wants to take advantage of tho de
velopment of the west and that the growth
of the milk business In this part of the
country, la regarded by It as an Inducement
to make this district a center for the west
ern extension of its business.
Mayor Tralnor will bring the matter be
fore the next meeting of the Commercial
club. Meantime he has supplied the com
pany with particulars as to sites and other
details, the seeking for which Indicated that
there Is a strong probability that South
Omaha may be selected as the location
for the ney Industry.
The preaent state of the skilled labor
market In the city should act as a stimu
lus to every effort being made to affect
this result. With the influx of laborers
from European countries that end of the
field Is more than stocked and if the plant
which the Cleveland company will Install
will employ a higher type of worklngmen
It will be decided acquisition to South
Omaha.
City Knarlneer'e Reply.
City Engineer Roberts takes strong ex
ception to the criticisms that have been
made by certain residents of the north
end of the city as to the character of the
paving work done there during the last
year. He describes the protests made
against the special taxes "as excuses on
the part of certain property owners to
knock out the taxes and have the city pay
for the whole cost of the work."
"I will let the work be passed upon by
any engineer," he says in reply to the state
ments that the laying of the pavement was
defective, both from a contractor's and
engineering point of view and he alludes
to the fact that about a month ago a
deputation from Red Oak, la., paid a visit
to South Omaha for the purpose of in
specting the paving and adds that so satis
fied was the mayor and the other members
of the council who were with him and
they examined these streets, he emphasizes
with what they had seen that they had
decided to follow the example of South
Omaha and returned home with the inten
tion of doing likewise.
"I see," continued Mr. Roberts, "that
J. W. Smith makes complaint about the
grade on Twenty-second street at his
place. I did not fix the grade; these
grades were fixed long before I was ap
pointed city engineer. It should,' however,
bs recollected that the fixing of the grades
Is a matter that rests with the council.
I as city engineer make the original
profiles, but ln this case I neither made
the profiles nor fixed the grade. But I
strongly dispute the assertion that there
Is the slant In the street Mr. Smith says
there Is and any one can see that."
City Engineer Roberts referred to the
difficulties the engineer's department had
to contend with when they came to
prepare for the paving of a street. "Pos
slbly ws may flud," he said, "that some
taxpayer to suit his own convenience has
removed the stakes placed to regulate the
construction of his sidewalk and then we
have to try as best we can to suit the
altered condition."
"A personal inspection," he added, "by
any unprejudiced person should convince
him there Is nothing . substantial behind
these protests and there certainly are no
serious cracks In the pavement. These
people themselves should be aware of the
fact that the Inspectors who have been
appointed for the several districts are resi
dents of those districts."
Third Attempt at Suicide.
South Omaha has a woman whose fond
ness for an "International marriage" has
led her into three matrimonial entangle
ments and who has attempted each time
to take poison as a result of her disap
pointment. Mrs. Mamie Angelo's husband Is a
Greek. Her latest attempt at suicide oc
curred last night. She took chloroform
and waa revived by Dr. Shanahan.
Mrs. Angelo first entrusted herself to a
Japanese. All went well until the hus
band became tired of his wife and baby
and disappeared. H;r lirst attempt at
suicide followed.
The woman's next companion was also
a .Japanese. The second attempt at sui
cide followed tbs breaking off of this
union.
Mrs. Angelo is 25 years old. The family
residence is at 107 North Twenty-fifth
street.
Fall Causes Death.
A fall resulted In the- death of an un
identified man at the N street corner of
the alley between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth street last night. His neck
was broken by striking on the edge of a
wooden sidewalk.
A quantity of change was scattered on
the ground and the man's hat had fallen
Cff. There were no means of identifica
tion. Deputy Corner Larkin took charge
of the body.
The man had been seen earlier ln the
evening near the Live Stock National bank
In an Intoxicated condition.
Jim Hosmoto, 208 North Twenty-fourth
street, and Walter stover, 418 North
Twenty-fifth street, found the body at

Paramenia Claims Many.
During the month of February there
were forty-four deaths In the city and
pneumonia was the cause of e)even of
them. For the first time in months the
girls born exceeded the boys. The rec
ord for the month was thirty-four female

Legislature of South
Dakota Ffrushes Up
Work and Quits
Much Business Transacted, Though
But Little is Considered of Great
Importance. x
PIERRE. S. D., March 5. (Special Tele
gram.) The legislative crowd left on the
afternoon trains, rushing for the railway
stations as soon as they had taken their
last vote on the general appropriation bill
and leaving the officers and a few good
natured members to clear up the rest of
the work and adjourn. With Its going went
the first absolutely leaderless body which
has ever met ln this state. There was no
spokesman of the administration with a
backing to push through certain measures;
there was no party or factional following
which could be depended upon to follow
any leader, and while that was one of the
methods of showing independence of "boss
rule," at the same time it did not tend
toward a rushing of business. n
There was no great administrative meas
ure to hold the members together nor was
there any great reform measure before the
bodies, unless the Richard's primary law
could be said to be such, but that did not
require consideration. Probably the good
roads law was the law of most general
state-wide interest enacted. The new rail
way code was drawn by the railway com
mission and pushed as Its measure, while
telegraph and telephone taxation haa been
vitally remodeled.
Among what may be called' the principal
bills which went down was the railroad
rate law, general game code with state
Instead of county deputies, the eight-hour
and union labor bills, which were pushed
by the Black Hills union men. .
The railroads have not had to take the
baiting of the session preceding, but cot a
little attention, and the insurance com
panies had to take their share of attention.
Among pure food laws, probably the most
Important was the senate net weight law
which went through the last night.
Warning to Railroad Men.
Look out for severe and even dangerous
kidney and bladder troubles resulting from
years of railroading. George E. Bell. GJ
Third street. Fort Wavne, Ind.. was niany
years a conductor on the Nickel Plate. He
cays: "Twenty years of railroading left
my kidneys ln terrible condition. Tl;ere
was a continual pain across my back and
hips and my kidneys gave me much dis
tress, and the action of my bladder was
frequent and most painful. I got a supply
of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle
made a wonderful improvement and four
bottles cured me completely. Since being
cured I have recommended Foley Kidney
Pills to many of my railroad friends." For

LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. March
"I believe there is little probability of my
return and I thank you for your well
wishes. I appreciate the treatment that
I have received while here and hope that
same courtesy will be extended others."
Such were the words of Frank G. Blge
low, the millionaire ex-banker of Milwau
kee, as he left the gate of the govern
ment reservation at 4:03 o'clocV yester
day, paroled until the termination of
his short time sentence, February SO, 1912,
when he finally will be discharged as a
prisoner under the federal government.
Blgelow, In company with T. O. Ttayes,
a former banker of Washington, D. C,
who was also paroled today, cams thfough
the big gates at the front of the peni
tentiary and walked the quarter mile to
the car station still ln charge of a guard.
It was when he shook hands and told the
guard goodbye that he made the fore
going statement.
A reporter met the two paroled men as
they left the guard. Mr. Blgelow refused
a cigar, took a piece of tobacco from
well worn pouch, a relic of the years
spent In the prison, and conversed freely
with the reporter and Hayes.

"I dislike to talk of the experience in
side the walls," he said, looking back
at the great penitentiary. "But It has
been a strange experience. I regret It In
one way, but in another It Is different.
What I will do after I return to my home
ln Milwaukee, I will not say. I do not
care to discuss the possibility of return
ing to active business. I will comply with
the clause of the parole law, which makes
It obligatory for a man to keep busy
after he Is out, however," and the aged
banker smiled.
Then the car arrived, the three boarded
it and Blgelow sat looking out of the
window. As the prison passed out of
sight he sighed and turned to Hayes. They
talked lightly and Joked each other of dif
ferent experiences ln the institution. "I
always had It on you fellows," Blgelow
said, as he took his tobacco pouch from
his pocket. "My supply of tobacco never
ran out," and with similar conversation
they continued the ride.
A woman with a small baby got on the
car. Blgelow turned to Hayes and the
reporter. "I suppose that neither of you
has a family?" he asked.
"You appear young. It Is better for you.
Tommy," he said to Hayes, "and neither of
you can realise what this means to me."
Will Await Son.
Upon his arrlvel here Blgelow went di
rectly to the horns of M. L. Hacker, ex
mayor of Leavenworth. There he had din
ner and will await the arrival of his son,
Gordon, who Is expected tonight. The two,
according to Blgelow, will go to Milwaukee
together.
Since he has entered the Hacker home
Blgelow has refused all newspaper men
asking for Interviews.

the large store and filed through its
many rows of furniture, viewing one of
the best stocks In the west. In the even

GOLD DUST will take the
grime and smut, grease and dirt from
your pots and pans in a twinkling,
leaving them as clean as when new
GOLD DUST is so far ahead of soap for cleaning pots
and pans, that the woman who does not use it is really
doing about twice as much work as necessary. The soap
merely cleans off the surface, and does not dig deep after
the germs of decay which accumulate on pots, pans and
kettles which are in constant use.
GOLD DUST does more than clean it goes to the
very heart of things, kills every germ and sterilizes your
cooking utensils. It makes them sanitary, clean and safe.
GOLD DUST does the work in just half the time that
it can be done with soap or any other cleanser.
GOLD DUST is a vege
table oil soap in powdered
form, which starts to work
the moment it strikes the
water; it cleans quickly,
easily and thoroughly.
