Joe Jerman, special agsnt for the Bur
lington railroad, and John Trouton, also
of the Burlington, together with Chief
of Police John Brig (a. recovered about
f X worth of merchandise alleged to have
been stolen from the railroad. The stuff
was found In the home of George Shed
elowskt, at 101 North Thirty-sixth street.
In SouthOmaha. Three men are aald to
be Involved in the deal.
The articles recovered were nine cases
of shoes and thirty-two pairs of rubbers,
four rifles, a number of shotguns and
other article.
Chief of Police John Brlgga expressed
the belief that a gang of thieves would
be arrested in consequence of the dis
covery of the missing articles. For some
time the railroad cars In and about South
Omaha have been robbed. The cars In
luestlon were billed" out of Kansas City to
Caspar, TVjro. The local police and the
railroad officers will continue their in
vestigations. Diilaru Manager Wasted.
Rev. Robert L. Wheeler of the First
Presbyterian church sends out the mes
sage through the columns of the Presby
terian, that unless a capable business
manager can be obtained to fill the place
of "Ted" Bratton. who resigned from his
position as business manager of the
papor .lately, the paper will probably have
to be discontinued. The Presbyterian has
been in existence sixteen years and It
would be a bitter blow to Rev. Mr.
Wheler at well as to many of the older
members of the local church should it
be compelled to suspend publication.
War Tax at Yards.
Commission men at the Union Ptock
yards are in a quandary as to the work
ing of the new war tax. Of course they
must pay taxes on all legal papers such
as mortgages and notes. They ore also
required to pay a 1 per cent tax on bills
of lading, which in most cases amount
to 1 per cent on a carload of stuff. Word,
however, from other markets indicates
that there is no tax to bs collected upon
bills of sale, whlcll of course lets the
farmer out.
It was pointed out that the exemption
of the farmer from paying the war tax
on Ills bills of sale would mean a pretty
good bit of politics for the administra
tion. Parkers Are Profiting;.
With Chicago holding over 1?,000 cattle
from WednenUay's market the local mar

BUTTERMAKER VICTIM
OF TWO NERVY THIEVES
Anton Nelson is a butter-maker and he
lives nenr Klmbsllton, la. Yesterday
afternoon he was In AVslt Lemming's sa
loon on Pouglas street, drinking with two
strangers, when ho commenced to tell
them about the Joys of his occupation.
''Say, cull, you look as soft to us ss
the butter you talk about," exclaimed
one of the strangers suddenly, as he
reached in Anton's money pocket and
seized $15 in bills.
Anton ran out of the saloon after the
thieves, but Jhey were soon lost In tho
crowd.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
John K. Buckingham, general baggage
agent of the Burlington, came over from
Chicago to spend the day with friends
and to play a few holes of golf on tho
Omaha links.
OLD age tan be made tho period ot great
est happiness, but complete good health
la necessary. A age advances the storo
aohe and bowel muscles loae their elasticity
and no longer respond readily. Tha result
is constipation, or dyspepsia, biliousness, sour
stomach, bloating, drowalnesa after eating,
belching, headache, etc.
Tho foregoing waa about the condition that
Mr. Wm. A. Itoeker. 64 Vienna St., Hoohcs
ter, N. V., found himself In some time ago.
A good friend persuaded him to take Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a widely known laxative-tonic
that has been on the market for
two generations. After a brief use of It he
writes that it he had the last bottle obtain
able he would not part with It for a hundred
dollars and Mr. Roeker Is not an especially
rich man either for he considers himself en
tirely well. Another noteworthy rase is that
of Mr. Margaret Barrlnger of Newark, Ohio,
who Is 82.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is without
doubt America's greatest household remedy.
Its mild action recommends It especially for
babies, women and old folks, for these should
not take drastic cathartics and purgatives
such as pills, powders, salt waters, etc. Your
druggist sella Pyrup Pepsin at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle, and you should always
have a bottle in the house. Thousands of
old users always have the dollar alee, as It la
more economical. Reeulta are guaranteed
or money will be refunded.
