The Buick Oil Company's product is sold to the Standard
Oil Company at 45 cents to 50c per barrel, which is from 15
cents to 20 cents above ruling prices, because of the superior
quality of the Buick Oil, and also because the Standard Company
can depend upon regular daily deliveries into its pipe lines of
about 4,000 barrels.
"
At a former meeting the Buick Oil Company's directors
voted to pay quarterly dividends and special dividends in addi

At 4 quarterly the value of this stock is about $1.50 per

-A transaction In Nebraska farm land
cloaed a few days ago la an eye-opener
on the uplift and steadiness of values.
The land which changed hands consisted
of 240 acres In Cass county, located near
Murdock on the Kock Island railroad. It
was owned by Oeorgo Grnmlloh and sold
for 91TB an acre.
The tiramllch family has owned and
farmed land In Barpy county for years

one of the sons, crossed the I'latte river
Into Cass county and purchased the farm
lit question, paying tCt.OUO cush for It, or
at the rate of I1UU an acre. He has cul

crops and live stock good profit on the
money Invested and the labor expended,
besides these returns he cleans up $18,000

Similar high values, some higher, with

In the three states Nebraska, Iowa and
Bouth Dakota contiguous to Bloux City
are reported by the Tribune aa follows:
At Oakland and Tokamah lands are held
at upwards of 1150 per acre. At Dakota

to sell at all. Across the Bloux In Bouth
Dakota, bottom lands have sold In small

Mara. Ilemsen and Marcus, lands are held
at 1150 per acre. At Orange City the Hol
landers refuse to part with their land for
leas than -VO per acre, and. In quest of
more land, are buying around Sheldon at
tl&O per acre. At Rock Rapids equally
high prices are maintained.

Anna Wilson Diesj
Funeral to Be Sunday
Miss Anna Wilson died Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock at her home, '1S
Wirt street. Her death waa due to old
age and a complication of heart and lung
troubles. Bhe waa about 7t years old.
The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon at I o'clock at the late residence.
Rev. T. J. Mackay has been asked to
officiate. Interment will be In Miss
Wilson's burial lot In Prospect HUI cem
etery. Miss Wilson left aa estate valued at
between I30Q.000 and 1500.000. It is under
stood that the bulk of the Wilson prop
erty la bequeathed to several Omaha
charitable and benevolent Institutions by
her will, which wl'.l be filed In county
court some time next week.
So far as Is known Miss Wilson left
no relatives. She came to Omaha In
1MT. Bhe never told whence e..e came
and kept her antecedents and family

connections secret. Bhe became the com
mon law wife of Dan Alton, who for
years was a well known Omaha gam
bler. When he died, twenty years ago, he
left his estate to her. She purchased
the burial lot and erected a handsome
monument, providing a place for herself
beside that of her husband. About fif
teen years ago Miss Ilson retired; ten
years ugo Bhe purchased the Wirt street
home, which she nince has occupied.
Recently Miss Wilson donated her prop
erty at 913 Douglaa street to the city for
an emergency hospital, the condition be
ing that the city pay her $100 a month
until her death. When objections to the
naming of the hospital In her honor were
made she suggested that it be named
"City Emergency" hospital and gave a
check for $000 to pay for repairs on the
building.
Miss Wilron's will Is In a safety deposit
box at one of the banks and probably
will be opened Monday by the executor,
A I.. Reed. The will was made several
years ago. One of the bequests Is that of
the Wilson house at Ninth and Douglas
streets, which, however, has already been
transferred to the city for an emergency
hospital.
When Grace Walton gave up her lease
on the property a few months ago, Miss
Wilson made haste to offer it to the city,
fearing that something might happen to
keep the city from getting it through
her will after her death.
"Dr. Veno," Miracle
Cure Man, Person
of Multiple Names
The miracle cure "doctor" now operat
ing in Omaha under the name of Veno
and who operated here in the spring of
1S07 as "the Marvelous Mayo," also ad
vertised here In the winter ot 1907-8 as
the "Hot Springs Doctors," of which one
of the directors waa "the great Mayo."
What name the "doctor" used when he
was here fourteen years ago la not
known. He claims to have treated hun
dreds In Omaha fourteen years ngo. but
The l'e cannot find Veno, Mayo or the
Hot Springs doctors In the advertising
of that time and doea not know what
other name to look for.
Roth aa "Mayo" and aa 'The Hot
Sprlnga Doctors," Veno spent much
money in advertising between early No
vember, 1907. and the mid-summer of 19?S.
His printed testimonials of those "cured"
In those days were like a great many of
those he Is using now, in that they gave
no street address. For example, "William
Johnson, Omaha," suited the "doctor's"
purpose. There are so many William
Johnsons In the city 'directory that, aa
long as the "doctor" gave no street ad
dress, people of an inquiring turn of
mind were not likely to find Uie William
Johnson who was supposed to have
written the testimonial.

INJURED MENMAY RECOYER
Two Hurt on Phone Building Expect
to Get Well.
CONTRACTOR SUSTAINS THE LOSS
Had No Liability Insurance on
Building; Green Cement Held
Can.e of Accident Will
Cause Some Delay
Chris Brink and Henry Frandsen, the
two bricklayers who fell from the top
of the new Bell Telephone company's
building when the atone and terra cotta
cornice gave way Thursday afternoon,
will recover from the terrible Injuries
each received. The hot-pltal report that
the men were "resting easy" was
strengthened yesterday at noon by the
declaration ot llr.v Brink himself, w ho
was the worst hurt of the two, that he
would be out In a week. The report Is
chiefly valuable as showing the hopeful
character of the men, for each has a
broken leg and arm in addition to other
bruises inevitable when they plunged
downward with tons of heavy stone and
brick from a height of nearly fifty feet
and struck on a cement sidewalk. .
How either escaped Instant death is one
of the mysteries. ' Brink fell headfore
most and was In that position when he
hit the pavement and was partlully cov
ered by the tons of weighty debris. Both
are In the Edmundson hospital receiving
every care that can be possibly given
them by the nurses and Dr. O'Keefe, the
attending surgeon.
The tons of wreckage were cleared
away yesterday and only one of the terra
cotta stones was found to have escaped
ruin. The cornice waa composed of four
courses of heavy terra cotta blocks and
stone numbering several hundred pieces.
Further examination confirmed the con
clusion that the accident waa due to the
slowness ot the hardening process of the
mortar. The outer course of cut stone ex
tended two feet and nine inches beyond
the wall, and thia enormous weight of
many tona was sustained by steel rods
attached to angle bars ahored in the
Inner surface of the wall. Each of the
blocks was held by two hooked bars.
Contractor Norgaard, upon whom the loss
falls, said yesterday that he carried no,
liability risks for the protection ot his
men and no builders' Insurance on the
work. The entire loss consequently falls
on him.
J. Chris Jensen of Jensen Bros., who
have the general construction contract,
aald yesterday that It would take at least
six weeks to get material to replace that
destroyed and It might be three months.
For the purpose of preventing any delay
In completion ot the building, which would
preveut the consolidation of the two tele
phone s sterna, Mr. Jensen said a tempo
rary wall would be put In and the root
completed at once. The temporary work
will be torn out after the new material
arrives, but probably not before next
spring. The accid4bt will thua not ma
terially delay the completion of the build
ing. Men were at work yesterday taking
down the portions of the damaged wail
that did not tumble Into the street.

May Compromise ' r- -Postal
Wire Case
The Postal Telegraph company may bo
assisted out of the dilemma caused by
the action of the city council when It
refused to permit the company to run Its
wires down Pierce street and put them
underground only at the point where the
street intersects with Bluffs street and
continuing via the alleys and crossing
Fourth, Main and Pearl streets to reach
the company's city office on the west
side of Pearl. The contemplated com
promise Is to permit the company to use
this route provided the wires are car
ried underground for several blocks
westward in the alley on the south ot
Broadway. This course will not require
any modification of the ordinance under
grounding all wires within the prescribed
district.
Officials of the company have an
nounced their Intention to appear before
the council at the meeting next Monday
evening and point out the utter impos
sibility of running their lines along In
dian creek. The objection to under
grounding any great distance will also
be explained. The company claims thut
to run tho wires underground through
the city would Impair the efficiency of
the service at least CO per cent, and to
accomplish It all an extra transform
ing power station would have to be
built here. The officers say that the lines
that pass through Council Bluffs are the
main transcontinental lines, and that
owing to the high voltage required the
Induction would be so great In the con
duits as to destroy the efficiency of the
service.
The proposed conduit distance would
be about half a mile, and this wmle
being a considerable detriment would not
seriously Impair the service.
The Instructions given to Manager
English of the electric light company to
remove the big pole at the corner of
Broadway and Bryant street will be
promptly complied with unless toe com
pany puts into execution its threat to
secure a restraining order from the dis
trict court. The pole belongs to the
electric company but is used by agree
ment for the purpose of carrying the
Postal wires. The big pole standi in
the precise spot where one of the pe
destals must stsnd to carry out the new
lighting plans. Orders were given yes
terday afternoon to City Electrician c
Klnley to remove all of the city wires
from this pole at once.
City Workmen Are
Busy Upon Streets
Alderman Minnlck, chairman of the
streeta and alleys committee, and who
manages to put In more than one-half
of his time working for the city, has two
forces of men at work in the extreme
east and west portions of the city. One
force is at work cleaning up lower Broad
way from the Northwestern depot to the
river, repairing and smoothing up the
macadam strip In the center of the pav
ing and filling up the parking on both
sides of the street from accumulations re
moved from the pavement, and the other
set is working on Canning street.
Extensive and valuable work Is being
done at both places. The Canning atreet
Improvement la a large undertaking. A
six horse plow has been used to tear up
the hard uneven surface ot the atreet, and
after being nicely leveled the loose earth
,
is compacted with a heavy troller. Tha
surface is then being finished with 200
loads of cinders, which have been donated
by J. F. Wilcox. The cinder dressing is
put on in thin layers, mixed with earth
and each layer well rolled. It is believed
that when finished the street will have a
surface that will be quite durable. Tha
two gangs of men are separated by
nearly five miles of distance and a ten
mile Journey Is required for one visit ot
Inspection and direction.
