HOW IS STRUGGLING FOR LIFE With Little or XotMa l tke Hoim ' to Eat ad No Hem to Bur, tke Little Mother Meet Trying Situation. V P : a P M, li ' n; P . ut kf V- o: b: it lii hi ei at i rrt r i; 1.; S i i jt : Lying on a mall, unclean bed In a mean apartment in the rear of 1813 Ixard street,, with her little tyear-old eon weeping on her breast, Mr. George Cul len Is struggling with death as the result of having swallowed two ounce of iodine while in a fit of despondency. It was a story of extreme hard luck which Mr. Cullen told the reporters. He and his wife and three little children came to .Omaha two months ago from Pryor. Okl., where the death of Mrs. Cnllen' lster occurred but a few day previous. The sister" death was such a blow to Mr. Cullen that she was com pelled to leave the town. Coming -here the husband secured work with the Inter national Nursery company, but hi wage were far too small to meet the cost of living. Coafroatea with rover ty. : The rent for the two furnished rooms. Vhlch are canUIy . furnished," absorbed Almost the entire month's pay the hue band received for bis labor. , The cost of food more than ate up the , remaining bit of money, and . clothe new ones were out of the question. ; The mother battled to keep the wolf from the door, but he wa in delicate health," and the struggle became worse and worse, until she became a nervous wreck. ; Testerday she arose and finding very little in the house to eat, and her babe crying, the mother in a fit of nerv ousness and despondency attempted to tak her life. Her husband saw bis wife put a bottle of iodine to her lips. He dashed the bottle from her hands, but fcot until she had swallowed a large quantity of the poison. 4, , Police surgeons put up a fight for her life and managed to (brtng her back to consciousness before tney left Milwaukee Rushes i Double Track Work" j on Its Iowa Line The Milwaukee road Is completing the double tracking of its road across. Iowa a fast as an army of men can do the work. , When the line la completed it mill be practically a new railroad," said Buperlntendent Vantieb of the ' Iowa 'di vision of the Milwaukee,, with 'headquar ters 'Id 'Marten. '". : ' ' Men are at work on every mile of the toad between Marlon and Manila, but not much i being done west Of the last named place, fifty miles east of Omaha. It la the plan to finish up this work last, and unless the winter is very open and Wild it will be postponed until Best spring. ' ' At thin time on the new work In Iowa the Milwaukee is employing close to 1000 men and operating forty-five work train and more than 109 steam shovels. An order has gone out to the efiect that the entire line from Marlon to Council Bluffs must be double-tracked and ready for trains by July 1 of next year. To carry out this order Mr. Vanlieb says will be an easy matter owing to tue fact that the work has progressed far beyond the point expected when It -was started last summer. . , .'-, Samson Keeps List . of Rooming Places ; for All Visitors . An Information bureau and a register of rooms has been established at .the Ak-Sar-Ben office, 171T Douglas street, to accommodate visitors to the carnival. The Toung Men's Christian association, which usually operates an information and room booking department during the fall ' festivities, yesterday notified the Ak-Sar-Ben official that it could not maintain the department this year. They told Samson that he brought the Strang era to the city and it was his business to take care of them. Forthwith the bureau wa established at the Ak-Sar-Ben office and a list of rooms and rooming houses was mads up. All landlords who have suitable quarters for visitors are requested to notify Sam- ion at Douglas 333. The Ak-Sar-Ben headquarter la now a scene of greater activity than It ha been for some time. Tickets ' for the coronation ball will be placed on sale there Monday, when all those Who have not Joined the knights or who are visit lng in the city may get ticket for the spectators' stand at 33 each. Tickets for women will also ooat S3. Tickets for dancers are Sis, Vacancy on School Board to Be Filled at the Fall Election Edmund F. Leavenworth, clerk for Bee be & Runyan, who was elected to the Board of education to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of W. T. Bourke, who was made secretary, will not sit In calm possession of the office for another year to fill out the unexpired term. The city legal department has been re quested to look up the law in regard to filling such vacancy, and finds that all vacancies occurring more than ten days before a general election must be filled at that general election. This difficulty now confronts voters who want to replace Leavenworth by a man not chosen by members of the bord: How shall he be nominated? The statute says by the central committee of the cor poration comprising the school district But there is no city central committee, unless one existing three year Ago holds over. It is agreed that It 1 out of the question for the county central commit tee to name the nominee, as this wjuld give neighboring towns and the whole county a voice in the administration of Omaha school affairs. It is rumored that organised labor will seek 'to have 'the name of a nominee placed on the ballots to oppose Leaven worth if he eeks election. The Board of Education has worked under the impres sion that Leavenworth would hold office for Bourke' s unexpired term. ; Judge Foster, who was named on the board to succeed C. R. Courtney; Is a nominee of the republican party and his name will be on the ballot November 6, but the Eighth ward,; represented by Leavenworth, may be compelled to resort to stringent measure before It can have the name of a representative of that ward placed on the ballot at this election. Chase County Now is Lining Up tor President Taft Charls E.' Meeker and Charles C. Daven port of Imperial, Neb., two of the ardent supporters of the Taft administration, called at the 1 "republican headquarters. They ay tlrat the Taft sentiment among the voter of Chase county is growing stronger every day. and they predict that by election time Taft will get a majority of all votes cast In their county. J. Hall of ' Lincoln, who traveled all over the stats recently, also called at headquarters. Ha report that la part or tne siat where th talk wa largely for Roosevelt two month ago ;: the sentiment has chhnA nfl the malorltv Is now for Taft. He says that as the truth 'of the Chicago convention,. June 18 to 30, la be ing studied by the voter he finds that the adage that the man who cries loudest, "Thou Shalt not steal," is often one oi H HrtfteirjaJa la the theft Is being veri fied, This with many other side lights, Mr. nail says, seem to oe convincing the voter that the safest thing to do is to support . th present administration and continue the prosperous times.
