WAR BREAKS OUT IN
CODNCILGHAMBER
Butler and Dahlman Fire a Few
Verbal Shots, but Small
Loss Reported.
DAHLMAN WINS TEX DAY
Desultory firing between Mayor
Dahlman and City Commissioner
Butler broke into a sharp engagement
at the morning's council meeting
when these officials exchanged a with
ering fire of rhetorical bombs.
The Board of Public Welfare was
the casus belli. Butler led the op
position to granting the board an ap
propriation for a separate annual re
port for 1916.
"Unless you do it nothing can be
done right," was the first projectile
hurled by the mayor.
"I think the Welfare board is a
joke," was the retort discourteous.
"The members of the board are
equal in ability tto any branch of the
city government and they are equal
to the city commissioners. This board
was created by the legislature and is
efficient," rejoined the mayor with
much heat.
Votes as He Wants To.
"Well, you can't scare or bulldoze
anybody. I am going to vote as 1
see fit," retorted Butler.
"It is you who are trying to bull
doze," replied his honor.
"You just play your own game and
I'll play mine," was the next But
lcrism. On the first vote the mayor had
only Withnell with him, but after he
made his strong appeal Parks and
Kugel changed their votes, leaving
Hummel and Jardine with Butler.
The Welfare board will have its
own annual report.
After the meeting some discerning
citizen remarked that evidently the
mayor and Commissioner Butler do
not love each other with any degree
of fervor.
Work On State Hospital
Is Delayed by the Strike
Work on the completion of the
Nebraska State hospital on the
campus of the University of Ne
braska College of Medicine, is some
what delayed on account of the paint
ers' strike. Although officials of the
painters' union announced a few days
ago that most of the men are getting
the demanded scale, a majority of the
union painters are still out.
Contractors say it is not so much
the increased wage painters are asking
as some of the other demands they
are making which are holding up a
settlement. The painters are asking
that their business agents shall have
access to the books of the master
painters to check up and see what
the master is paying the painters.
Railroads May Refuse
To Transport Beer
Chicago, April 10. Among several
decisions handed down today by the
United States court of appeals was
one finding that the receiver of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
way was justified in refusing ship
ments of beer for delivery to individ
uals for their private use in the dry
territory of Iowa. The decision re
versed the lower court, which held
that the receiver should accept the
shipments. The suit to compel the
receiver to carry business of this sort
was prosecuted by a number of brew
eries. All Wireless Stations
Must Be Dismantled
The order sent out by the govern
ment, providing for the dismantling
of public and private wireless sta
tions, refers to those of the listening
as well as to those of the sending and
receiving kind. Here there was but
one sending station, that on the Union
Pacific building, and it was disman
tled several weeks ago.
In and around the city there are
something like thirty listening and
receiving stations, but they are all of
the amateur kind. It is expected that
they will come down at once and the
apparatus be packed away.

Best Medicine for Constioation.
Mrs. Charles Crim, Charleston, 111.,
states that Chamberlain's Tablets are
the best medicine that she has ever
used. There are hundreds of others
who are of the same opinion. These
tablets are easy to take and most
agreeable in ettect Advertisement.
The Busy Recruiting Officer
M. 0, Peters Gives
His Services and
Use of Plant to US.
M. C. Peters, president ot the mill
company bearing his name, sent to
the adjutant general at Washington a
letter offering his personal services
to the government in any capacity he
could efficiently fill; also the output
of the M. C. Peters Mill company s
plant without profit.
Mr. Peters is 53 years of age and
the plant has a daily capacity of fifty
carloads.
"I believe that the older men who
are successful in business should in
spire the younger men by offering
their services at this time. The young
men can not de it all," said Mr.
Peters.
According to his physical and men
tal abilities, he is willing to answer
his country's call and will do what
ever may be assigned to him.
"I want to show my loyalty to my
country and do not want any public
ity or advertising advantage out oi
this. I have offered the government
to nut the dant at its disposal, to fur
nish feed for animals or other ma
terials quickly and as near to actual
cost as it is possible to figure it," he
added.
Patriotic Organizations
To Do War Relief Work
Two patriotic women's organiza
tions exnectine to do war relief work
have affiliated with the National
League for Woman Service. They
are Garfield circle, Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic, headed
by Mrs. F. Carmony, and Daughters
of Civil War Veterans, headed by
Mrs. Robert Stoddard.
In the first circle, which includes
eighty women, are many older
women who have seen three wars.
The second is composed of daughters
and granddaughters of civil war vet
erans. Co-ordination of all the war relief
circles in the city is one of the first
aims of the League for Woman
Service.
Registration of women will con
tinue at headquarters in the First
National Bank building until Satur
day, when a meeting to arrange for a
big rally next week, probably at the
Boyd theater, will be held. The
chairman, Mrs. William Archibald
Smith; Mrs. Clement Chase and Mrs.
C. M. Wilhehn are arranging the details.
Both men and women are awaiting
the Red Cross chapter charter before
engaging more deeply into this work.
Gould Dietr will head the local chap
ter and William G. Urt will be sec
retary. The executive committee is
made up and will be announced us
soon as the charter is received.
Cattle Sell for
$13.05 and Hog Top
Price is $16.20
A "wild" market pervaded the live
stock exchange for the third time this
year this morning. At 11 o'clock pre
vious records in lioirs and cattle went
flickering, the former establishing a
new high mark of $16.20 and the lat
ter a high mark of $13.05.
Receipts in these two divisions
were heavv, there being better than
10,000 head of hogs and 4,000 head of
cattle in dock. The Interstate Com
mission company sold the top cattle.
The consignment was of twenty head
and came from Mindcn, la., John
Simon, farmer, being the shipper. The
beeves averaged 1.499 pounds. The
same commission firm sold one of the
five loads of top hogs. There were
sixty-four head in the consignment
averaging 324 pounds. Byers Bros,
were also in on high swine, selling a
load from Ed Scow of Shelby, Neb.,
at $16.20.
Local Contractors Kick
On Athletic Club Bidding
Local building contractors are
somewhat peeved because the Ath
letic club is to give them only a
week to figure the plans for the $400,
000 Alhletic club buildir.g and offer
a bid on it.
The Athletic club plans are now
out, ready for distribution to the con
tractors, and the club has said the
bids must be in by 2 o'clock the after
noon of April 17. Local contractors
say this announcement catches many
of them with a half dozen jobs ahead
of them which must be figured, and
that the addition of this one which
must be figured within a week is abso
lutely unreasonable.
Another Old Flag Found
Right Here in Omaha
Mrs. Adeline Miller, 2424 Bristol
street, has a large eight-foot silk flag
with thirty-five stars, which was first
unfurled to the breeze at the funeral
of Abraham Lincoln.
Mrs. Miller also has a letter which
was written by Mr. Lincoln in 1861
to her father, who was a delegate to
the first republican convention and
was also a delegate to the convention
which nominated Lincoln.
GRAIN PRICES GET
QUITEABUMPING
Cash Wheat is Off Four to Six
Cents, While Option Regis
ters 13 -Cent Decline.
CORN AND OATS FALL, TOO
High prices got something of a
black eye on the Omaha Grain ex
change when cash wheat sold off 4
to 6; corn, l; i to 4, and oats, 1 to i
cents per bushel. Apparently there
was no cause for the decline, other
than the opinion that prices in the
past had been too high.
On the Omaha market wheat sold
at $J.15(d;2.20; corn, $1.31 VigUS, and
oals, b7(t68 cents per bushel. Re
ceipts were: Yhent, 15; corn, 20, and
oats, 16 carloads.
The option market was weaker than
the cash, wheat selling down 13 cents
below the high of Monday, and corn
close to 12 cents. However, there
was a recovery of 5 to 7 cents before
the end of the session and the market
closed reasonably strong.
So far as Omaha men were con
cerned, it is asserted that few, if any,
lost on the break. Most of them were
sellers Monday and during the early
hours of Tuesday's market continued
selling, as both wheat and corn kept
on going down.
Grain men generally are of the
opinion that while prices have been
too high they are going still higher,
but they are not inclined to the be
lief that they will remain there. They
assert that before the nett harvest, if
the crop gives promise of being rea
sonably good, there will be a heavy
slump following the advance.
Reduces Fine of Speeder
Who Was On Way to Church
On his way to church Easter morn-
.'n,- tn dfet tint in ten var
Cornelius M. Rice, 3924 Florence
boulevard, was so anxious to be on
time for services, that he put a little
extra "gas" into his automobile. As
Ml oj o,.t,,.b ...... .n ... j
Officer Hiatt of the police motorcycle
squad clocked mm ana louna inai ir.
Rice was doing things to Nebraska
speed laws.
"Judge, I didn't realize that I was
going so fast," pleaded Rice before
Police Magistrate Madden. "I was
on my way to church for the first
time in ten years."
The judge said that Rice's church
going intentions were an extenuating
circumstance in his case and fined
him $2.50 and costs, just one-half the
levy imposed upon two other speed
ers. Parks Refuses to Remove
Cans Boy Scouts Pick Up
City Commissioner Parks, super
intendent of the street cleaning de
partment, declares he will not remove
tin cans which the Boy Scout officials
propose to have dragged to the Strand
theater as a spectacular feature of the
cleanup on April 20 and 21.
"A statement that I would haul
these cans away was entirely without
authority. I will not move the cans,
because I do not approve the idea.
If the boys will place the cans in
alleys and help load them into our
wagons, they will do some practical
service for the welfare of the city,"
said Mr. Parks.
The proposition announced last
week was to have Boy Scouts drag
tin cans through the streets on strings
and place them in large heaps at
Eighteenth and Douglas streets.
Rev.
T. J. Mackay Reported
Considerably Improved
Rev. T. J. Mackay, rector of All
Saints' church, who was taken ill dur
ing the Easter morning service at his
church, is considerably improved, al
though his physicians say that he
must remain in bed for some time
and take a complete rest.

Farmers Planning to

Farmers and other citizens of Box
Butte county, out in the northwestern

that the indications are that the acre

be far in excess of that of any former
year.
This Simple Laxative
A Household Necessity
Dr. Caldwtll'i Sprup Peptin
Should Have a Place in
Every Home
Constipation, or inaction of the bow
els, a condition that nearly everyone
experiences with more or less fre-
2uency, is the direct cause of much
isease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the atom-
ach, toul gases and poisons are gener
ated, and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to at
tack. Various remedies to relieve consti
pation are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the com
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that ii sold in drug stores un
der the name of Dr. Caldwell'a Syrup
Pepsin.
The Hon. John D. Kelster of Bran
dywine, W. Va., who hai represented
his district in the State Legislature
for six years, writes that he uses Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it
a splendid laxative, easy to take and
mild, yet positive, in its action, and
that it should be in every household
for use when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in alt parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a bot
tle. It contains no opiate or narcotic
drug, does not gripe, and is recom-
mended as a family laxative, mild
enough for the tiniest babe, yet suf
ficiently powerful to act easily on the
strongest constitution.
To avoid imitations and ineffective
substitutes be sure to get Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin. See that a fac
simile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and
his portrait appear on the yellow car
ton in which the bottle ia packed. A
trial bottle, free of charge, can be ob
tained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald
well, 455 Washington St., Montlcello,
Illinois.

E
CALL AND SEE THIS RANGE. IT IS JUST
WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
VERY part of the range is at a
convenient height. No stooping or
reaching, for the cooking top, ovena
and shelf are all ideally located.
Deep, high oven in which one can
bake two racks of break with plenty
of room for rising. The flues are so
arranged that even with the oven
full every corner is heated quickly
and evenly.
The broiler is deep and can be used
as a roasting oven. Roasts cooked
in this oven are juicier and shrink
less In weight than those baked in
the upper oven.
The range is finished in a rich,
black, semi-gloss japan which is

There is plenty of shelf room, for
the "built-in" shelf is wide and ex
tends over to the oven top, which is
made of heavy material, so that it,
too, may be used as a shelf. There
is a deep warming or storage com
partment below the burners.
Cooking top is equipped with five
burners three standard size, one
giant and one simmering burner.
