The story is full of thrilling incidents and yet they serve simply to impress the difference between *‘the right path and the wrong path.” ‘Two wallpaper cleaners were picked up on the street yesterday and taken to the police station on suspicion of being the parties who beld up several individuals +in this city a couple of weeks ago.

AFFAIRS OF HIS OFFICE QUESTIONED Repoblican County Committee Sends Him A Nico Invitation to Show Up, but Ile Coldly Repulses the Prof- fered Inquiry. A new move was made yesterday in the ar that is being waged against County Tre: W. B. Reed by the republicans of the city. The charges made against Mr. Reed to the effect that he has been piling up expenses unnecessarily for the taxpayers and accepting interest on the money of the county which e has on deposit in the vari- +0us banks, contrary to the express provision of the law, have been alr given in de- tail by Tue Bee. In his conversation with a Ber reporter Mr. Reed admitted that e had received money from some of the bankers with whom the county funds are deposited ‘A number of the banks sent me checks along about Christmas last year, aggregat- ing #8. The checks were intended as Christmas presents, and I took them. Of course anybody would have done the same thing. Just because Il am county treasurer is no reason why I should not enjoy Christ- mas along with the rest of you." But the republican leaders claim to have evidence of the most indisputable kind that these “presents’ were not confined to the holiday season, but came with the regularity of the first day of every month. It was this fact that they wished to bring before the public in a manner that could not be di: puted. Th ordingly drew up a paper and hud 1t served yesterday morning at 11:30 o'clock by Constable J. C. Buker. The paper read as follows: Demand for NCHL BLUFFS Reed, osq T an county committee of Potts uie county charges that in va in this county you have deposited pul funds in consideriition of which you have ! pald a percentage upon such’ deposits, tended by all concerned to & for the fihe money so deposited. these payments gifts. The Dankers designate them presents; but, as i trustee of public funds, you have no right, logal or moral, to get henefit from public money you ure paid a sala for, and the law declares these pa. interest There Is but one wiy ich the clear proof to sustain these charges or to exonerate you from them can Do sccured, and that fs this: 1ty it thereto, asuit willbe brought to cover this imterest into the treasury, where it belongs, you - ing the usuul tine of service and ting one otice for the depositions of these compensation You and all will recognize the necessity of gotting this testimony by legal means, for these bankers, beneficlurics with you in the enjoyment of this money, are unwilling wit- nesses agninst you and” will admit the f: only us cocrced by the processes of the luw. Should this course be pursued nnd we fail to establish these churges you will be completel. exonerated inthe eyes of all men; whe it the testimony of witnesses sustalus these charges, your pretended denfuls will be of no 1 time for investigation Is short at best. We are prepared 1o meet the issue and will be pleased 1o recelve your reply by o o'l today. AL 8, 1Az Chuirman Republican County Central Com- mittee. Kepulsed by Reed. It was theidea of the members of the county central committee that this would bring the matter to a focus and the county treasurer would be given an opportunity to show whether his affuirs were as straight as he claimea, and would also enable the republican side of the family to bring in_the books of the banks with which he had been doing business and show that he had been getting not only Christmas presents, but Fourth of July, April Fool, Thanksgiving and a number of other presents besides. But th reckoned without their host. Coun asurer Reed was not. yearning for an investigation. Five o'clock rolled around and no answer to the communication had been received at Mr. Hazelton's office. About the time he was locking up- his office a Bee reporter ran across him and asked him what he expected to do about the notice he bad received. “Nothing at all,” was the ready response, “But these republicans want to have this riainty cleared away.” % Let them do it, then,” said Reed; ‘‘but I'm ot going to help thern” “Don't you thiuk it would help your can- didacy 1f the republicans made an investiga- tion and then fell down when it came to proving their charges?” “Idon't know and Idon't care,” replied the treasurer. 'l don't think I am in a posi- tion where I need to run around after a lotof republ 1 pohiticians. My books are all in my oftice: let them go there if they want to find out anything.” Aad witb that he turned and walked off. What Wilt Never Be Known. Itis to be sincerely regretted that the county treasurer took the stand he did, as the developments would huve been rich, rare and ¢ if the republicans are to be be- liev Reed claims to have affidavits from all the banks in the county to the effect that they have paid no interest on deposits of county money. Whether they declare equally plainly with regard to ‘presents” is not known, as these affidavits have not met the gaze of any one, so far as known,with the ex- ception of the men who are on the inside of the holy of holies of the democratic temple. arge that has been made with ref- rvices in collecting Union Pacific taxes has caused a good deal of feeling, es- pecially coupled with the f@t that tke same tirm dgew a fee of $400 for collecting the back tax from the elevator company. County At- toruny Organ is recognized as one of the leading uttorneys of - the Pottawattamie county bar and there 1s no apparent reason why he should draw a salary “of $2,000, ostensibly ‘for attending to the county busi- ness, and then have an assistant to take im- portant cases off bis hands and thereby run bills of #400 or 8500 for attorney fees. “The blame for this rests with the demo- cratic Board of Supervisors, The county at- torney should haye been required to attend to this branch of the county business, as well as to sce that petty thieves went to the county Jail for thirty or sixty days. While the county central commitiee is in the in- vestizating business, here is a profitable field for operations, and much that is of in- terest to taxpayers could doubtless be brought to the surface.

Yesterday morning was the time set for the trial of the case in superior court in which the city is trying to collect £,000 taxes from the motor company for paving between the rails. Like all other attempts to get the case into court, however, it was an abortive one. City Attorney Hazleton informed the court that the attorney for the motor company had imparted to him some information which led him to believe that the cause of the city would be actually bene- fited by another continuance, *Mr. Baldwin tells me,” said he, “‘that he is at work on another proposition, which is to be submitted to the committee of the city council that was appointed some time ago to act in conjunction with the committee of 100 with reference to a 5-cent fare. will in all probability be completed and catified J any by ay it will be known what the contents of the proposi- tion are and also what the city will do about it.” His request for a continuance until urday was accordingly granted by the court and the cousideration of the ca: dropped for the time being, In a tion later in the day the ci further remarked: “*What the company will agreetodon this proposition we of course can't tell now. When we had our weeting last Saturday we rejected its proposition mainly because of the fact that there was uothing said with reference to a reduction of the fare across the rive We told the motor officicls that hereafter we should consider no propositions that did not provide for some sort of a re- duction, and I am confident that the com- pany will waste no more time in putting for- ward propositions which it knows in ad- vance will be summarily rojected.” Be shown the Klein tract, 23 mil, east of postoftice, ont Madison street.

DePew and Sweetland at 6004 Broad way, opposite the postoffice, there can be found every day and evening a miscel laneovs gathering of humanity, repre- senting all classes and conditions of life, suffering from almost all of the ills that flesh is heir to. With the crowd drawn by the fame of these physicians yester- day wero a number of péople who came to satisfy that great American char- acteristic, curiosity. Among them was a repopter, who got into a pleasant chat with Dr. DePew during a little lull. “Our motto is charity and good will for all and malice toward none,” said the doctor. And while we do not cave to particularly emphas the charity part ina financial way, we are compelled to doa great deal of charity work. Our business has grown very rapidly sinee we located here, but not any more than we expected. Neither is our success in curing the sick and halt that come here any greater than we an- ticipated, although, come to think about it, the record is remarkable; not asingle case that has Seen presented have we turned away, and every case we have had we have cured, no matter what the discuse, before we have dis- charged a patient. Then, too, almost every case we have has been haggled over before we got it. Wherein does our success lie? Why, in our system of treatment and our remedies. The Sweetland Specific remedies are not an experiment. They have proven their infallibility in thousands of instances. What is the system? Briefly, it is but the drawing away from the sufferer the poison that has accumulated by inactive or debilitated organs. The science of medicine has made great progress in the last few years and it has come to recog- nize that all forms of disease are simply the development of parasitic life, due to the arresting of the full on of the excretory organs. This sets up a septic condition, and the blood and fluids of the body teem with germ life. If you could see the pounds of ulcerous, fungoid matter that comes from the bowels of patients here you would understand th better. Our remedies simply kill this life, and this accounts for the marked benefit that alway: follows the first few days treatment. Can- g scrofula and all kinds of blood taint quickly - yield to the remedies. Our remedies ave simply a perfectly harmless, but wonderfully powerful antiseptic.” Diphtheria, scar- let fever and smallpdx vanish uader the treatment. Rheumatism and neuralgiac affections are soothed into eternal 3 and the system built up and fortified against new attacks. < I care not who the person may be or how well and strong he thinks himself, a few doses of the medicine will make him feel like another being **We hope to get something else than old abandoned chronic cases, and then we will show some .cures that will be still more marvelous,” A paralytic carried up from an Omaha. motor and into theroom by two of his friends took the doctor’s attention and interrupted the conversation. Business Men Try Pugllism, H. F. Hattenhauer and B. S. Terwilliger, two well known business men of this city, had a pugilistic encounter yesterday after- noon in the latter's livery stable, near the court house. The trouble grew out of a com- plaint that Terwillizer made with reference 10 a carriage he had bought of Hattenhauer some time before, A warm discussion ensued and several vigorous epithets were bandied back and forth. ‘Terwilliger finally reached out with hus open hand and dealt Hatten- hauera blow across the face and Hatte hauer returned with a hard blow in th with his fist. From that time on neither was careful how or where he landed his fist, ana they fought until a draw was decided There were no arrests, but each of the ies a reminder of the fray about in the shape of a black eye or a sore nose.

Cnrcaco, calmly powers, The memorial exercises in Festival hall engaged only a handful of the multitude The ninety and nine were on a last busy jount of sightseeing. 1t was simply an ordinary prosperous day at the fair. Only one thing was changed. The flags wero at half mast along the rimsof the huge palaces. In the buzz of talk, here and there and ever, where, men and women spoke of something being *a pity The official sun set at 4:45. The people lounging in the Court of Honor noticed on the high roofs a black, moving figure. hey sawa man had crawied up to the base of the flagstaff and was waiting there, a small, indistinct silhouette. The many thousands of people scattered through the Court of Honor waited for the signal. It came. The war ship Michigan, anchored off shore opposite the government building, let go its first boomng six-pounder, A second lapsed and another thundering‘¥eport was heard, and then another and another, The war #hip was firing the national salute of twenty-one guns, Allatonce the immense flag floating at half mast before the very doorway of the Administration building slowly lifted itself and moved to the top of the staff. From there it fell. With it fell every Huttering bauner in the whole court, and at the very moment the flags began to lower the band broke into the opening strains of the *Star Spangled Ban- ner.” Oct. 81 and in the died of its The exposition full possession Crowd Moved to Cheers. Those who did not see the colors float down and hear the sudden crash of patriotic mnsic cannot understand the thrill and im- pulse which moved the crowd to a_roar of cheers. The flagat the north came down last of all. This single flag which remained was hauled down by representati of the Chicago newspapers, who were specially invited to perform this honorable duty by Artist Frank D. Millet, master of decorations. This flag, which was afterwards presented to the rep- resentatives of the vress, was the fiuest one hoisted in the Worla’s Columbian exposition. As 1t sank into the crowd pushing about the base of the pedestal the music once more chan; el and **America’ pealed forth. From the high windows of the Adminis- tration building a few white handkerchicfs fluttered. The people below saw this and answered with shouts. The crowd then joined in the chorus of *‘America.” When the band ceased playing it was all over. The fair has been closed by a boom of cannon, a lowering of flags, a brief burst of musie. It lasted less than five minutes. All Wanted to Cry. At the windows of President Higin- botham's room a nmumber of people watched the flags sink from the masts and heard the farewell salute. As the music burst forth and the crowd gave its first cheer Mrs. W. J. Chalmers, leaning from the window, gave way to her feelings and began to cry. The other ladies followed her example. Then Mr. Higinbotham. A. M. Revell, W. J. Chalmers and other gentlemen present be- came affected. They did not break down, but looked steadily out of the windows and wiped their eyes. This company in Presi- dent Higinbotham’s room felt like having *‘a good cry” when they realized this was the last of it all. Twenty minotes after the flag fell two wagons came in at the Sixty-fourth straet gate. They were loaded with large packing cases, bound for the Government building. A crowd of young men blowing noisy horns marched behind the wagons, They were celebrating the beginuing of the downfall. This was the first of the **packing up.” Preparations are all made for the immedi- ate removal of the exhibits. Manager of Transportation Holcomb has received near, 8,000 applications for the removal of e: ibits. Beginning tonight the work of laying tracks will be pushed rapidly to completion. Dead, and Crowds Stay Away, Visitors _to the fair today only made ® dot here and there on the aventes which contributea thelr dust for the wind to play with as it liked. The sudden falling off in the attendance is com- mented on as a little strange. ‘‘What has become of yesterday's crowd?” people are asking. True, the fair closed officially but the buildings and exhibits are still to be looked at and no oue is forbiaden the grounds who has the price of admission and is willing to tender it. People will be com- ing to the fair for perhaps two more weeks, and while the exhibits will be moving out- ward, the ofticials promise that the comforts of the visitors will be studied. There will be uo confusion. All things will bo orderly, and boxes and wagons will move by a system. But there will be no illumination of the groundsand tho gates will close at 6o'clock each evening. The grounds will be in darkness at that hour, as the contract for electric lighting expired last night. “The Midway, which was willing to linger alittle longer, will have to seek pastures new. It will begin to break up tomorrow. Horace Tucker’s well dressed and_affable gate keepers will be looking for other em- ployment today. All but twentyof them were dropped last night, and the guards who are to be retained for a ‘couple of months yet will do duty on the gates, T The Flour Award.

OF %9.00 HOW A SAVING ta for Those Why Like to Dress © Need of Lookiug Shabby Eves Though Times Are Hard—The Secret Told by One Who Knows. Those fashionable capes with a triple collar, are looked at with longing eyes by many a woman. But times are hard and economy is botk a virtue and a nec- ossity. One woman solved the problem most satisfactorily by coloring her old drab cloth circular, a rich, handsome brown, with a package of diamond dyes, thus actually getting a ten dollar cape for ten cents. The druggists report a groatly in- creased sale for diamond dyes this fall, and say they have completely super- seded the old-fashioned methods with logwood, fustic, indigo, ete. On each envelope is orinted full direcgions, so plain and explicit that anyone can use these dyes with perfect success. For nearly n score of years diamond dyes have been helping women to dross well at small exponse, and it is natural that their great success should have brought many short-lived imitations upon the market. These would claim to make fast colors, but the light fades them: they adulterated their dye to make the package look large, but nctual use proved they could color less than hall as much as the diamond; and offer- ing a large profit, they sccured agents or peddlers to sell them, but a woman never bought them a second time. Diamond dyes come in nearly fifty colors, specially prepared for wool, sil and cotton, a ten cent package coloring from one to ten pounds of goods. No other dyes are as strong, nothing else color. No woman can afford to visk her specially when are admit- goods with imitations, the original diamond q tedly far superior.
