NATION'S CHIEF ENTERS IOWA
Pmident Appears at Early Hour in
Council Bluffs.
WELCOMED EY LARGE CROWD
Local Shopmen Have
No Word of a Strike
Dr Mulr, secretary of the local feder
ated union of local shopmen, stated late
Thursday afternoon that he had heard
nothing relative to any atrlke order, aside
from what he had seen in the newspapers
He added that in the event an order
to strike should be received, no action
could be taken by the railroad ahopmen
within twenty-four hours after tta re
celpt.
The first thing that would be done by
the shopmen, according to Dr. Mulr.
wou'd be the calling of a special meeting.
It at that meeting it should be deter
mined that there was sufficient cause for
a strike, a vote would be taken. If the
vote should be In favor of striking, the
hour would be set and at that time the
men would quit work.
. So tar as the Union Pacific shops are
cencerned. Dr. Mulr stated that the men
have no grtevance of their own and It
they strike, it will be In compliance with
an order coming from the head of the
International. He oould not say how
many men would go out If the order
ahould come, but felt safe in saying that
It would be obeyed by about all of the 150
machinists.
During the laat few days the hours of
.the men at the local shops of the Union
Pacific have been lncreaaed from forty to
fifty per week. Now the men are working
nine hours per day, with the exception et
Saturday, when they work five . hours.
Prior to that time and for several months
past they have been working five days
per week and eight hours per day. No
work has been done on Saturdays.
Xe Ceaatrr Caa Be Grret Valeea
la Well Fed, He Declare, la
Speaking et Iowa as aa
Aarlceltaral State.
It
iTet'dent Tift at Council Bluffa Thurs-
day morning told the first Iowa audience
to greet him on his present tour the reason
for his being there. He failed to resist
successfully a plea to apeak at the Kan
aaa State fair at Topeka. he aald, and
this was his undoing. Then it was In
sisted that he muet break ground with a
golden spade for the Panama exposition
at fan Francisco, and the die waa cast.
The rest of the .trip Just grew.
That 'Mr. Taft appreciated the regard
which led the large crowd which met
him with cheere at the Illinois Central
station to arise with the aun was- mani
fested when he told how sorry he was
that he had been late in making hla ap
pearance. He did not deny that going to
bed late and getting up early was bad
even for a president
The president's train arrived on the
Burlington at B 50 o'clock Thursday morn
lng and proceeded to the Union Pacific
tranafer, where it was switched to the
Illinois Central tracka. At t-V o'clock
the waiting crowd received lta first view
of the presidential train and followed It
eagerly as It waa ahunted back and
forth before coming to a stop.
People Mast Be Well Fed.
Mr. Taft was Introduced by Congress
man W. R. Green of Council Bluffs. He
said:
'This is hot the first time I have vis
ited Council Bluffs, but It Is the first
opportunity I have had to talk to an
owe crowd, en my present trip. Because
Iowa la an agricultural atate and becauee
regard the production of food for a nation
as ot foremost : importance, I am espec
ially glad to speak to you. No country
can be great If It la not well fed."
Statistics, the president said, indicated
the prime Importance ot increasing both
acreage and productlveneua per acre of
the natlon'a farm landa.
Praise for General Grenviile M. Dodge,
whom ha aald waa a figure of national
Influence, and for W'a'ter I. Smith, of
whom he said he took a great congress
man and maJe a great judge of hlrtf, waa
received with warm applauae by the
home folka."
Tatt la Good Humor.
It was evident from his opening re
marks that Frealdent Taft waa in the
best of humor and the crowd was soon
with him. He expialneo. that he some
times had his doubts of senators and
congressman. Their strong point, he said.
was their anxiety to convince him that
hia presence in their states waa absolutely
necessary to the public welfare, hut he
was inclined to think anxiety to con
tribute to the success , of an occasional
state fair had much to do with the mat
ter.
Returning to serious vein, the president
said high tribute to Lincoln. The martyred
statesman, he said, was the great
example and the great source of com
fort to all succeeding occupants ot the
executive mansion. In. his hours of
gloom, when he feels that his burdens are
heavier than he can succeaafully uphold
Mr. Taft turns to Lincoln and the rail
splitter's trials appear so much greater
that his own seem Insignificant.
General Dodge, Major George H. Rich
mond, Colonel C. G. Saunders and Con-
grenmsn Green had change of the ar
rangements for Sir. Taft a reception.
Governor B. F. .Carroll and sixteen
members of the governors staff, who
socompany the president through Iowa,
Joined the chief executive's party at
Council Bluffs, two Pullmans being sdded
to the trsln for their accomodation. So
great waa the crowd s Interest in Mr. Taft
that Governor Carroll and his staff stood
unnoticed on the platform waiting with
the rest, till the president was ready.
Mr. Carroll said:
"Taft will be welcomed in Iowa as he
was 1n Kansas. Iowa la for him. I waa
glad to hear that hla reception In Kansas
surpsssed even the expectations of his
friends."
Before the president made his appear
ance on the coach platform Governor
Carroll and the members of his staff and
representative men of Council Bluffs
were received and greeted by him. After
Mr. Taff had finished his talk Mr. and
Mra. W. Copplck and Mr. and Mrs. TV.
Im Douglas were Introduced to him. Mra.
Copplck and Mrs. Douglas are cousins
of Secretary.. Hilirs. '
. The president's itinerary today leads him
through Dennlson, Fort Dodge, Webster
City and Cedar Falls, to Waterloo, la.
Stops are scheduled at these towns and
Mr. Taft will make short address In each,
but will talk from the rear platform of
Lhls train to atatlon crowda all along the
way. At Waterloo tonight he will be the
gueet of honor at dinner, to be given by
Congressman E. Pickett, at the letter's
home.

student body of the Omaha High achool

reputation of the school and to do fitting
honor to the man who .represents our
country all the students should be anx
ious to make the best possible showing.
This will be the time when the students
can exhibit the quality which has been
. so prominent this year the power of self-government,"
TO SETTLE ALULD CLAIMS
City and County Are Trying to Get
Together on Differences.
EACH HAS A. LET OF CLAIMS
Balance seems, the Face of the
ttatesneate, to Be Largely la
Favor- ef the Coeety
To Be Adjusted.
An attempt Is being msde by the city
of Omaha and the county ot Douglas to
get together on the maaa ef claims that
have been accumulating since yS' As the
matter atanda at the present time, the
city has upon- lis books t.ie urn of i6.-
751.99 charged against the county, while
In turn, the county inalsta that the city
owea It $70.S65.T6.
With a view to reaching an adjustment
of the claims of the two clvlo bodies,
the finance committee of the city, to
gether with their attorneys and expert
accountants, met in the city council
chamber Thursday morning and went
over the whole question of difference.
As a result of this meeting, the experts
were Instructed to strike a balance and
present the same to the city council and
county commissioners, to be considered
at meetings to be held prior to October
L at which time it is proposed to Intro
duce a new system of bookkeeping, that
In the future will provide for a settle
ment each month.
In Us chief claim against the county,
the city has charged up $10,000 for paving,
against which Interest, aggregating $1,000
has accumulated. Then on each arrest
and trial In police court on a warrant
where the county has to do with the mat
ter, a charge of $5.60 has been made. In
cases where the fines and costs have been
paid, the charge against the county haa
been cancelled, but on the whole, the
claims against the county on these items
aggregate several thousand dollars.
.The Items which the county haa charged
against the city Include the following:
Feeding prisoners. 148.926.40; compiling
tax lists, 113,698.41; voting machines,
1064.75; repairing Center street pav
ing. IS.JT4.70.
Then, in turn, the city chargea the
county for a considerable sum in the
collection of the scavenger tax, but this
Is questioned and la held up pending
the question of whether or not It is a
legal claim. With this taken Into con
sideration, the claims would be raised
to a point where they would about bal
ance, so that In a settlement, one claim
would about offset the other. ,
STUDENTS TO REHEARSE
FOR THE COMING OF TAFT
Hieh achool students will drill Friday
morning In preparation for the visit of
President Taft on Monday. They will
learn where they are to stand while
listening to the president's address and
how they are to march to get there.

MAKES FACE LOOK
YEARS YOUNGER
. In the beauty column of the Wash
ington Star we find the following writ
ten by that eminent authority, Mae
Martyn:
"Women who have been doping: their
facea with powder and vainly striving
to attain beautiful complexions, will get
the deaired results by uatng Instead ot
face powder, a good spurmax lotion.
Such a lotion can be made at small .cost
by dissolving 4 ounces of spurmax in
H-plnt hot water, then add i teaepoon
fule glycerine. Or to make the lotion
dry more quickly when applied to the
skin, H-plnt witch haael can be used In
stead of water.
"This simple lotion is unequaled for
refining one's complexion. It makes the
skin so soft, smooth and velvety and
takes away that shiny, oily, sallow
took. It does not show on the skin,
nor does It rub off easily like powder.
Those who uae this lotion find It such
a splendid skin wbitener and complex
ion - beautlfler that they are seldom
without It on their dressing table.
