Charlie Williams, foreman otuhe Hush
Murphy stables at ,1217 Macon street,
Is dead as a result ot a shot In
the back at 3 o'clock Sunday aft
ernoon by an Italian whose Identity Is
not known to the police. Williams lived
at 1216 Pacific, directly to the rear ot the
stables, and had Just returned to work
from dinner when he noticed two Italians
drinking from a. flask and talking ex
citedly In one of the stalls. He Inquired
of them their reason for being In the
barn, to which they made the reply with
an oath that It was none of his business
as they had an appointment with Doml
nick Anla employed by Murphy as fore
man of his street laborers. Williams, In
furiated at their manner turned to open
the door of tho stable and eject them,
when without a word he was shot In the
back. The bullet entered his body abovu
tho right hip and worked an upward
course through the corresponding lung,
noth Men Pier.
After the shooting both men fled, leav
ing their victim standing In the doorway,
In which position he was found a few
moments later by his wife. In making
their getaway the men passed through
Williams' yard and were met by Mrs.
Williams with an Inquiry as to what had
happened. They uttered something In
Italian and waved toward the barn. When
the police arrived the foreman was con
acious and still standing, but had walked
to his home. Dr. Connell arrived shortly
after and the man was rushed to St.
Joseph hospital, where he was Imme
diately placed upon tho operating table.
Internal hemorrhages resulted from his
wounds and he died during the night.
A good description of the two culprits
is In the hands of the police and arrests
will likely follow today.

.Tony DamatQ Saves
Lester Ebert from
Death in Water Hole
Tony Damato, aged 21 years, 1218 South.
Twentieth street, yesterday saved the life
of Lester Ebart, 12-year-old son of Will
iam Ebert, 2W2 Foppleton avenue. The
Ebert boy was wading In the water that
fepoured from the broken main on Twen
tieth street and felt in the hole, fifteen
feet deep, torn in the pavement when
the main burst at 2 o'clock. Damato,
A street car conductor on the West Leav
enworth line, dived Into tho water and
locating the boy, pulled him out by his
hair.
Lester was taken to his home four
blocks away and put to bei. Apparently
ho was unharmed by the water be
cause he did not Inhale any Into his
lungs, although ho was under the surface
for a considerable length of time.
Tho thlrty-slx-lnch water main broke at
B o'clock yesterday afternoon--at Twen
tieth and Pierce streets and threw the
heavy stone, with which Twentieth street
is paved, high into tho air. Inside of
five minutes Twentieth street from
Pierce street to Woolworth avenue was
a river.
The emergency crew of the water com
pany appeared on the scene and at 3.S0
yclock had shut the water off. The water
was turned off at Twentieth and Pierce
and also at Eighteenth and Jackson
streets, so that a large part of the city
iwas without water all afternoon. The
tnaln is the one that supplies the south
part of the city.
The broken main cut one-third the city
off from water supply for forty-eight
hours. The pipe was repaired Sunday
and Sunday night, a force of workmen
Veeplng at the job of repairing it through
put tho night.
Muddy water was pumped into the .ma
jority of homes Sunday and Monday, due
to the increased rapidity ot water flow
ing through the pipes following the break.
A large quantity of mud Is in the pipes
kt alt times, but owing to the even flow
Of the' water is not disturbed.

An astonishing record of serious blood

Calamities could be averted were the blood
irtmed, toned and purifled In advanco by
that wonderful remedy known everywhere
s S. S. S. Few people realize how quickly
the system becomes infected with the
acids and ferments from undigested
food, constipation and inactive kidneys.
The symptoms are fever, thirst, excit
ability, dry skin followed by rash, and
many Indications wrongly diagnosed as
rtoraatne poisoning. This condition is al
most universal in all climates and is
hulckly overcome by the action of S. S. S.
Many people who act hastily from vio
lent temper are simply suffering from the
effects of poisoned blood, produced by
Taulty elimination. But by far the great
est peril Is the dally danger from bruises,
contusions, the scratch of a rusty nail.
Insect bites, poisoning and the house fly
that deposits the germs of Typhoid, Ma
laria, Diphtheria and other malignant
diseases.
The medicinal properties of 8. S. S.
lire relatively just as essential to well
balanced health as are the nutritlvo prop
erties of the meats, grains, fats and
sugars of our dally food. And if you will
bear this fact in mind and get your
blood under the dominating Influence ot
B. S. 8. you will not only drive out those
Impurities that cause Rheumatism. Ca

Edward A, Smith and T. 13. Brady, at
torneys, basing their right to como Into
district court on the ground that they
are taxpayers, have appealed from the
decision of the Board of County Com
mlssooners allowing tho Douglas County
Agricultural society $7,236.60 under a new
statute passed by the last legislature
and delivery of tho warrant to the so
ciety has been refused by Deputy County
Clerk Chlzek.
Mr. Smith, the plaintiff, not only al
leges that tho board had no power un
der the law to allow such a largo sum.
but attacked the statute as unconsti
tutional. The law provides that after
tho agricultural society fulfills certain
conditions the county board shall order
a warrant drawn In favor of tho presi
dent of tho society for a sum amount
ing to 6 cents for each Inhabitant of the
county on tho basts of the last vote
"for the member of congress," allowing
five Inhabitants to each vote.
In tho title printed at tho head of the
law there is this clause: "Providing that
said county aid shall not exceed the
amount annually paid by such society
for premiums other than speed," but the
clause Is lacking In the measure Itself.
Tho premium list of the fair this year
totals about $4,000, and Mr. Smith charges
that payment of moro than $3 000 in ex
cess of this amount, which tlio board
members agreed to in Ignorance ot the
clause In the title of tho Maw, would be
unlawful.
Ho alleges that because tho law Itself
is broader than its title It Is unconstitu
tional and asserts that courts have held
that In such cases It Is likely that legis
lators were deceived by the title and
that the law should not be upheld. He
also holds that the law should be con
strued to mean that the amount to he
paid should be based on the vote for the
winning candidate for congress rather
than on the total vote cast.
Old Superstition
Follows Mike to the
Land of the Free
Around the corner on Nineteenth street,
Just south of Howard, on the carnival
midway. Is the Oriental show and the
headline attraction ot the Oriental show
Is Gall Gall Mike, a combination ot
Oriental arid Irish title, but the nearest
a translator could come to It. Gala Gall
Mike has been playing magician for many
a year In the United States until now ho
can talk English about as good as can a
college professor, but Gall Gall Make has
retained one of his old world character
istics, his religion.
For all his travel and experience, Gall
Gall Make Is still superstitious to the
core. His superstition does not follow the
Ilne3 of American superstition, and he
has no fear of thrteens. or Fridays, or
a perfect horror of the elements of na
ture and worships the sun and the rain,
uro and worships the sun and the rain.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Gall
Gall Mike worshiped the sun and was
happy, but Sunday brought the rain and
Gall Gall Mike transferred his affections
Immediately. Sunday found Gall Gall
Mike offering sacrifices to the rain god
about every other half hour, until event
ually J. Franklin Berry, who manages the
show, became alarmed because the star
performer had never before been ar
fected to such a large extent. Berry tried
to suppress Mike's outbursts, but Mike
refused to be suppressed. Before an hour
had passed, the entire carnival crowd, who
were hanging around the tents, telling
stories of the past, was attracted and
as most American performers are super
stitious, several began to worry for fear
that Mike's walllngs might cause a con
tinuation of the rain.
But Make kept on and the performerr
began to fret until every body got worked
up and It was all Mike's partners In the
show could do to protect nim from bodily
Injury, because everybody predicted Mike
would be a "jinx"' for the weather
prognostloator and wet weather would
result for the remainder of the week.
And maybe Gall Gall Mike did have
something to do with the rain which
has dampened the ardor ot carnival
merry makers, because he Is still wor
shiping the main and no one can influ
ence htm to cetue.
WATER RELEASED FROM
PATHFINDER FILLS PLATTE
In order to make necessary repairs the
men In charge ot the Pathfinder dam
In Wyoming have released the water In
the reservoir and approximately a vol
ule aggregating 1,000,000 acre feet Is flow
ing down the channel of the North
Platte river, filling It from bank to
bank.
It is reported that the flow has reached
Grand Island and that from there west
the bed of the river, which for the last
three months has been nothing but a
bed ot dry sand, Is now a steram of
rapidly flowing water, front one-fourth
to one mile wide.
The repairs to the Pathfinder reservoir
are taid to consist ot patching the ce
mnt sides and bottom and stopping
leaks. As soon as this Is done the
spillway will be closed and the flow ot
water again shut oft until it Is again
time to make repairs.
