SCALY PIP LES "LEST FOLKS FORGET" i Extracts from report made by Mayor Dahlman to tho City Council two weeks ago that disclose more clearly in the light of later developments what it is all about: CITY OK OMAHA, Executive Offlco. On February 27, 1014, 1 received i letter from Armliruster & Fat roll, Engineers nnil Contractors, Chicago, III., notifying mo that one T. G. Hansen, their representative, would call on me in a few days relative to tho heating tilnnt wo were figuring on installing, which is attached. However, I submit a letter from Armliruster & Karroll dated May 14, do nying of over writing any such letter, showing conclusively that the letter of February 25th was a forgery. 1 had previously learned, though, that Armbrustcr & Farrell denied over giving such a letter. This letter sim ply confirms their first statement. Mr. Hansen arrived in tho city a few days later, but did not call on mo until April 3, 1014, ml then only for a few moments, but at once be gan to cultlvato tho acquaintance of Mr. Wolfe, Holler Inspector; Mr. Fltt and Mr. Grace, both In thnt department.. Thinking it strnngo that Mr. Hnuscn would remain In the city ns ho did, and hearing that ho was with Mr. Wolfe a great deal, who was preparing these specifications, I began an Investigation which extended over some seven weeks, and this accounts for my not reporting sooner. These tactics disclose sonio of tho low-down, dishonest, contemptible, underhanded methods certain crooked Individuals will stoop to in order to gain a political advantage, that they have been unable to gain for eight years, for tho reason that tho people of this city know their only reason was to get control of the city government, and plunder tho treasury. On Investigation I found that this man Hunscn and three others work ing with him were Burns' detectives employed by tho Daily News of this city. They were then shadowed and It was interesting to receive report ns to thlr movements. Tho cunning of tho fox wns shown in tho way they held their meetings. Joe Polcnr of tho Dally News, who was direct ing tho conspiracy, would sneak Into tho meeting place, whero his lying tonguo was giving directions. No burglnr could hold a candle to Joo Polcar In theso cunning maneuvers. These detectives did not havo the nervo to npproach any of the city commissioners, but they worked on these subordinates, hoping through bribing them theso specifications would bo adopted, and that the contract would bo awarded to. their bidder. It would have made no difference to them whether a councilman voted for their bidder innocently or not, if thoy secured tho contract, hoping thereby to turn their bntterlcs of publicity upon and destroy this administration, blacken tho lives of these commissioners and that of their families for nil time. Tho Dally News spent nbout $20,000 for this work. Hansen offered Mr. Wolfe $5,000 to get tho contract through tho council, and 1 had n warrant issued for him for nttempted bribery, but it wns tipped off and ho flow before wo had a chance to arrest him. That warrant Is now In tho hnnds of tho officers. Let Mr. Joo Polcnr of the News produce his hireling, Mr. Hansen, and I will not only attempt to send Hansen to tho penitentiary, but I will attempt to send Polcnr and tho cdltor-ln-chlef of tho Dnlly News, who lives In Minneapolis, as well, nnd I might Include Mr. Hums, ns ho was hero several times. I havo got tho facto on theso fellows. My fight is in tho open nnd I dnro them to produce Hansen. They owe It to tho people of this community to show that my charges nrc falso, or they stand convicted. They havo conspired to bribe nnd corrupt city officials. This is n felony in our state. They must provo my charges falso or, if I am not mistaken in the temper of tho people of this city, who bcllevo In fair play, will drive them out of this community. After four months' effort on tho part of tho detectives hero, with all tho money and cunning they were nblo to command, they did not oven daro to approach me or any memlcrs of tho commission, nnd I accept tho compliment. . I havo n detective agency In Chicago working on this case, and I hope to be able to bring all of them before tho bar of Justice Those men and such editors us conduct sheets like tho Daily News cannot understand thnt 80tue men In public life are honest. They nro so accustomed to plunder ing and deceiving tho people day after day that their very soul Is saturated with corruption.

HI AND 1 Little White Bumps Came in Clus ters. Would Swell Up, Burn, Itch and Ache, Couldn't Sleep For Torturo. Cuticura Soap and Cuticura-Ointment Cured. 8 East Sixth St., Coffoyvllle, Kan.

Then my hands and arms would swell up and burn and Itch and ache, till It seemed like I would go crazy. Heat would make It worse. When the weather was hot I, couldn't sleep nights for the tor ture. I felt so ashamed of my hands they looked so terribly. I couldn't bear any clothing to touch my arms at all.
