The Missourl, Kan- sas & Texas officials allege and they show official reports to prove that the accldent was simply a collislon between a local freight and a repair train on a bridge, as stated, that an engine and seven cars were deralled, one span of the bridge damaged and that Engineer Morris and an unknown colored tramp wero slightly Injured.

THE OMAHA DAILY AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Nood of More Reom for Otty Offioes i New | Being Felv, PRESENT ARRANGEMENT IS CRAMPED Transaction of Business Greatly Hind- by the Conditions Under Which the Ofcials Are Res auired to Work, ered Since the city has been proceeding under | the provisions of the mew charter the city | officials more thun ever feel the need of more room for offices Ever since the city hall was built the town has generally felt that a mistake was made in the se tlon of offices and in the architectural plans of the same. Under the pre 1t eystem the offices are separated only by fire fenciug, leaving no chance for privacy fn the transaction of b or any bar to a confusion of the d t the offices located in the city hall There 16 only one vault proper in the city offices. This is separated in such manner that it Is ussd by both the city clerk and city treasurer. Now that Tax Commis- slonier Fitzgerald has taken up his quarters | in the city treasurer's office that depart- | ment of the city has become too crowded | for comfort. There is not adequate room for ‘hnuk‘ of the office which are in constant use, while the vault is now so full that by | the time another year's records accumulate it cannot possibly hold them all Under the present eystem a number of offices are so uncomfortably located that | the rooms assigned to them are of little or | no use.

No office room of any description s assigned to the chief of the fire department or his | assistant, while the mayor and legal ¢ partment are assigned to rented rooms on N street One of the city officlals whose office fs in the city hall sald last night, when talking about the inadequate room: “This whole floor should be divided into not more than two offices. The city clerk there has not enough room in which to turn around, while the treasurer's office is simply a disgrace to the town owing to its pinched quarters. 1 cannot understand why something is not | done to make more room and suitable offi- | ces. The sanitary inspector, building in- | spector, street commissioner, city electric- | fan and several other officlals are groupcd in the back of this place where they do | | not pretend to make it their headquarters, | and they cannot be blamed.” Besides the complaint that is going on about the city offices, the city jail, located in the basement of the city hall, comes In for its share of abuee. The police say that the place is really dangerous to health on account of its location. The ventilation is not perfect and it 1s dark and damp In all probability sometbing will be done by the councll in the near future looking to some adjustment of this difficulty. Several of the councilmen expressed themsleves as pertectly willing to do all in their power to remedy the trouble, but eaid that they were at & 1oss to know just what they could do. New ire Hall Needed. Chief of the Fire Department Etter said | yesterday that he was heartily glad that the | council had empowered a committee to se to the purchasing of equipment for the new cond ward fire hall. He claims that this hall {s essential to the safety of the town from fires, especially 6o far as the Second ward and that vacinity are’concerned. While the city has owned this building for some time, other than some very minor | fire fighting appliances the hall has never been equipped with what was really needed In fact it has been practically useless. Chief Etter sald that now that the city council had made a move in the direction of pur- chasing what was needed he thought it would prove one of the most valuable sta- tions In the city. Newmnan Hearing Today. The hearing of Special Police Officer New- man, charged with assaulting Chris Marke- son with the intent to kill, will come up for hearing in the police court today and some sensational features of the trial are looked for. Newman is to answer to two charges, the one being aseault, where he fired three shots at Markeson, and the other to give reasons why he should not be bound over to the district court to keep the peace in the future. Streets to Be Flushed. As soon as the streets are put in the proper condition the fire department will take a day off and look after the cleaning of them. The street fair left considerable dirt and filth and prompt measures wiil be taken to have them removed. The work is generally done in one day, leaving the streets with a clean, wholesome appearance The extra precautions which were taken by the citizens of South Omaha to see to it that as little debris as possible should find its way to the street have had a good effect, as the stuff on the streets consists mainly of that which lay underneath and was thrown from the street fair booths. All-Ye Tho work which Tax Commissioner Fitz- gerald has undertaken in preparing the delinquent tax list of the city seems to be a longer job than was anticipated when the work was commenced. Mr. Fitz- Rerald sald yesterday that thus far he had | only completed reports for the city up to| the year 1504 and that he could not pos- | Secmn an Job, sibly tell when the work would be finished. | After he has finished his report 1t will | | all have to be copied in the regular books kept for this purpose. dy fo The communication from Congressman Mercer, which was read at Monday night's meeting of the city council, has again re- vived the discussion regarding the public library buildiog for the city and which | place in town would prove the most suita ble as a site for the structure There is a great clamor going up for | the erection of the building in the south | part of town, while the First ward Is just as anxious to have it placed In fts vicinity. The erection of the new school on the Hoctor site seems a solution of the problem in the minds of a great many who think that the library should be placed near this new school building. What ac- | tion the councll will take to determine where the bullding will be erected Is as yet not known.

INCUBATOR BABIES. A Curiosity of Advanced Civilization. Among barbarous peoples it ie the common custom to destroy the weak- ling child. Even among some civilized people as in China aud India the same practice obtains to a greater or less de gree. In our own land science has bent its energies to the saving of the weakling baby, and to that end has devised the Laby incubator, in which the tempera- ture and every other condition which makes for the infant's growth can be perfectly controlled and regulated The baby incubator has directed seri ous attention to the fact that a great number of children are born too weak to make an effectual struggle for life, and that many mothers are unable to nourish the children born to them. Back of these facts there is the inevitable story of womanly weakness, the pre- natal period spent in misery of mind and anguish of body ; the period of waiting which should by all the laws of nature be one of hopeful, happy expectation, changed to a period of shrinking and dread. It is impossible that the mother can give her child what she herself does not possess. s If she lacks health for one she cannot have it for two. If she is nervous, fearful, suffering, it is folly to expect that her child will be mirthful and hardy, As a rule weak and sick women will have weak and sickly children, MATERNAL LOVE HYELPLESS, Maternal love is helpless in such cir- cumstances. The woman who would drain her heart dry to give her child strength can only sit in impotent help- lessness and watch the little flower fade. But science does more than provide an incubator for the weakling baby. It finds the means to make weak women strong. It gives the mother strength to give her child, and makes the incubator unnecessary. It restores the natural balance of heaith so that the days of waiting become once more days of happy expectation, and maternity is ap- proached with the supreme confidence which comes from the possession of per- fect health. In this field of scientific help for women Dr. R. V. Pierce stands pre-eminent by his success. His great medicine for women, ® Favorite Prescrip- tion,” has been the means of health to thousands of mothers, giving them strength in the days of waiting, making the baby's advent practically painless and by increasing the flow of ‘the nutri- tive secretions, enabling the mother to nurse her child. *I will endeavor to tell you of the Des Moines o0 10:05a.m, Davenport.2:31 p.m. Chicago....6:58 p.m. Direct Connectlons wi ONLY ONE T0 BUFFALO, NEW YO FRF ADVICE Uy our Phys t our medicino 8150 Free escrining symptoms and cause of dis eceipts and prescriptions in plain laz Dr. Kay’s Cures the very worst cascs of Dyspepsin, C: Liver and Kidney d £ Write us about sl your sy ptoms 0u us 25 0ts_or $1.00 and wo will ge DR.

Robertson, of Medicine Lodge, Barber Co., Kans, "In the fall of 1599 I was expecting to become a mother and suffered terribly with paing in the back of Liead ; in fact I ached all over. Suffered with awful bearing-down paine: 1 was threatened for weeks with mishap. A lady friend told me to use Dr. Vierce's medicines. She had taken them and felt like a new woman, I be. n using the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and took four bottles before my baby came and two afterwards. I suffered almost death with my other two children, but hardly realized that T was sick when this baby was born, and sbe weighed twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now eleven months old and has never known an hour's sickness; at present she weighs thirty -seven pounds. I owe itall to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescric MOTHERS MARVEL at the wonderful change which results from the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Mothers who have been days in the doctors' hands use “Fa. vorite Prescription” and find the days reduced to hours. Mothers to whom the months of waiting had been months of weakness and weatiness find them changed by the use of “ Favorite ~ Prescription” to months of happy use- fulness and pleasant prep- aration for the baby's coming. Mothers whose children were heretofore always weak use “Favor- ite Prescription” and through its means receiv- ing strength to give the child are made glad by strong, healthy children, “1 can cheerfully recommend Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription as one of the best medicines for women,” writes Mrs, Mary Murdock, of 220 Taylor St., Topeka, Kans. “I consider it the best medicine made. T know it has no equal, 1 am the mother of ten children and only one living ~the tenth one. She is one year old and is as well and hearty as can be. She is a beauty. Of my other babies, some were born at fight time but dead, others were premature births ; one lived to be one year old but she was always feeble, 1 tried different doctors but none of them could tell what my trouble was. They said I was well and strong. 1 was examined by surgeons bt lfiey found nothing wrong, and they were puzzled to know what my trouble was. 1 did not know what to do, so I thought this last time I would try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I took it the entire nine months and now have a fine baby girl, and I cannot praise your medicine eniough for the good it did me.” "I am the mother of five children,” writes Mrs. S, E. Rose, of Big Otter, Clay Co., West Va,, "and have been as high as eight days in the doctor's hands, and never less than two days at any time until the last. Then I had used two bot- tles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and was only two hours in the hands of the doctor.” Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflamma~ tion and mlceration and cures female weakness. It is a splendid tonic for run- down, nervows women, restoring them to sound health. Sick women, especially those suffering from diseases of long standing, are vited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, /ree. All correspondence is held as strictl ivate and sacredly confidential.
