That Vinduct Proposttion. It was rumored yesterday that a confer- ence Is soon to be held between the officials of the Union Stock Yards company and the managers of the Unlon Pacific Railroad| company in connection with the O street viaduct, The plans drawn some time ago by Chiet Engineer King of the Stock Yards company have been submitted to the Ham- roval. It is stated that hown by the plans are approved by the Haummond managers the material will be ordered at once and that work will commence oon as practicabl It the viaduct as proposed is bullt the Hammond people will have an entrance into the plant from a peinf near the main en trance of the Exchange bullding. Sev- al of the hogsheds will be taken out in or- der to make a first-class road to the plant. If this is not done a separate runway from the proposed viaduct to Hammond's will doubtless be built. Swift Approprintes Money. Word reached here yesterday from Chi- eago that 8wift and Company had appropri- ated $200,000 for fmprovements of the plant in this city. As was mentioned in The Sunday Bee improvements to cost nearly $250,000 are now contemplated. The appro- priaticn of funds, however, was only made Rt a recent meeting of the board of di- rectors. The engineers who have the work in charge are expected back here in a day or 80 and then something posi’ ‘ve as to thc extensions contemplated will be known. ‘The present fertilizer and the tank house will, it is rumored, be torn down and re- placed by more modern buildin, The new hoghouse will be four stories high and will occupy the vacant ground west of the pres- ent row of old bulldings. This work of new construction and rebuilding will oc- cupy the entire winter and employment will be given to several hundred men. B Sheep R Nearly 20,000 sheep were received at the Unlon Stock Yards yesterday, The exact ‘mumber was 19,885, This broke all previ- ous records for ome day. There was no difMculty In handiing this large shipment, as the barns as now constructed are able of holding 25,000 head. In welghing the sheep were handled admirably; in fact, both shippers and packers complimented the stock yards management on the rapidity shown In the welghing process. Since Jan- uury 1 of this year 1,075,447 sheep have been bandled at this market. This is a slight decrease from the same period of last year, but breeders of sheep have been holding shipments back. With the receipts expected the stock yards company will be able to show, at the close of the year, an increase over it yea The largest run of sheep at the yards Rere prior to vesterday was on Octaber 10, 1800, when 17,682 head were yarded. One feature of yesterday's big run was the fact buyers for the packers taking everything as fast as they could arrange terms. Governor Savage Here.

Gordon, fusion candidate for re-election for police judge of the city of Omaha, has once heen itmpeached in that office and has never disproved the charges upon which he was convicted. Judge Charles T. Dickinson of the district court, who found the charges of malfeasance in office made agalost Gordon to be true, en- tered an order removing him from office. Gordon appealed to the supreme court, bringing into question the jurisdiction of the district court to hear the case, and on this question of jurisdiction, and nothing more, regained possession of his office Sinca Gordon has been reinstated as judge of the court he h returned to the old practice of arbitrarily dismissing cases and Schasffcr, & book agent employed by Wheeler, was arrested for carrylng a con cealed weapon, and on both occasfons he was promptly discharged by Judge Gordon, of the irm of Gordon and Eller, pald coun sel for Wheeler.

Ryan, formerly of Lincoln but now second lleuteant in the Thirtieth company of coast artillery, stopped in Oma- ba yesterday long enough to receive orders from General Bal to report at once to his command, and then hastened westward to San Dlego barracks, Cal, where he will find his company. When President McKinley made the first call for volunteers in the Spanieh-Amert- can war In 1898, Lieutenant Ryan was & member of the junior cl at the Univer: ty of Nebraska. He was the first man in the university to answer the call, enlisting as A private, although If he had walt and allowed political influence to be exerted he could easily have had a commission. H company of the First Nebraska was his command, and before the regiment had lett Camp Saunders at Lincoln he had been promoted to be a corporal. At San Fran. cisco In July he was raised another step and given the position of battalion sergeant major, an honorary place. Reglmental quartermaster sergeant came next in the Philippines in September, and finally & year later he received the desired commission of & second lleutenant in D company of the same regiment. On August 23 he was mus tered out with the remainder of the F! but already bad a commission dating from August 17 as first lleutenant in the Forty- Afth volunteers, so he hastened immedi- ately back to the Philippines after a brief stay In this country. The war was by that time one ageinst the Insurgents and a8 commander of a scouting party Lieuten- ant Ryan tramped 1,600 miles through the wild-rnesses of Luzon and had twenty en- gagements during the tour.

It wi for this very same practice that Gordon was impeached and ousted. When Willlam R. Learn was acting judge of the police court during the su: pension of Gordon the fines collected the amounted to about $600 monthly and now they amount to little more than half that sum. Why So Lenientf People conversant with police court af- rs have often asked why Gordon is so lenlent with offenders brought before him and some have gone so far with their generosity as to attribute it to the judge's 'goodness of heart.” A case that has re- cently come to light, however, seems to furnish a more reasonable explanation of the lenlent practice of the judge. It is a case wherein a beneficlary under the Gor- don system turns around and retains the judge and his law partner, Eller, to bring charges against the police officers who ar- rested him and wherein the judge and his law partner make a neat little ‘‘rake-off" of $110. One night last July Officer Bloom arrested F. L. Wheeler, a book agent, and charged him with having offered for sale indecent and lewd literature, which is a wserious offense under the ordinances of the city. On the following day Wheeler was brought before Judge Gordon, who heard the evi- dence and ordered his discharge. In the proceedings before Judge Gordon the de- fendan rounsel was Farrington Power and after the close of the case Wheeler re- tained Power to bring charges against the officers who had participated in his arrest and detention. How Wheeler happened to discharge Power and take on new attorneys 18 best told in his own language, as follows: ““After Judge Gordon had dlscharged me," iays Wheeler, [ went to him to ask him whether | would be permitted to employ agents to sell my books in Omaba and in- cidentally I told him that I proposed to flle charges against the officers for false and maliclous arrest and prosecution. He asked me what lawyer 1 had retained for the work and I told him that I had engaged Mr. Power. He then sald that Power was not the right kind of a man for the job and that his law partner, Eller, had been quite successful in cases of that kind. ked him what kind of a retainer he would require and he told me that he would take $10 for preliminary expens and costs and would fix up the balance of the bill with Judge Eller. Paya Fee to Judge Gordon, “I then paid Judge Gordon $10 and took his receipt for the amouunt. He wrote the receipt on his official letter head—that of the police court. You see, I thought [ was making a pretty good deal in getting the judge of the court who had heard my case aud discharged me to act as my at- torney. Later on Judge Gordon took me up and latreduced me to Judge Eller, who he sald would look after the case in detail. Judge Gordon told me that he did not want to be known In the case. Eller prepared the charges against OM- cer Bloom et al and flled the same with the Board of Fire and Police Commission- ers. A week later the board heard the evidence in the case and dismissed It, at tho same time commending the officers for | making the arrest. For his trultless work Mr. FEller exacted a fee of $i00 from Wheeler. Eller's receipt for thig fee, in fac-simile, is published herewith, as is also Gordon's receipt for the retainer There are facts collateral with the story related above which are also significant of Judge Gordon ¢ ‘‘goodness of heart.” On August 3 Wheeler was arrested for the second time, and aga‘n he was discharged \by Judge Gordon of the firm of Gordon and Eller, pald sounsel for Wheeler. On Au- gust 17 and again on September 4 M. knuckles.” “You are fined $i and costs,” sald the Judze. A moment later, however, Judge Gordon was seized with another spell of “‘xoodnes of heart,” and he reopened the Hinkle case. The evidence of the policeman was heard. the knuckles were put in evidence, Hinkle did not deny that he had carried them—and Judge Gordon dismissed the case. And before Hinkle got away from the bar Judee Gordon advised him to bring an action for damages against the officer who had ar- rested him. Hinkle, however, did not give the judge an opportunity to ofter the legal services of the firm of Gordon and Eller in sted action. Impeachment Proceedings. It was on account of Judge Gordon's per- sistent practice of discharging defendants fines and suspending sentences imposed by himself, and of committing other acts un- authorized in law, that the schcol fund suffered such great losses that Mavor Moores and flve members of the council were impelled to file charges against him in October of last year. The charges, which were filed on October 10 in the district court, accused Gordon of official miscon- duct, willful neglect of duties, malfeasance and misteasance in cffice and general incom- petence. On October 12 an order was en- tered suspending Gordom from office during the pendency of the impeachment proceed- ings. The trial on the charges on the specifica- tions occurred before Judge Dickinson dur- ing the month of November and consumed about a week. A large number of wit- nesses were examined apnd voluninous records of the police court were introduced in evidence to sustain the charges made against the police judge. Gordon was de- fended by six lawyers and they bitterly contested cvery imch of ground, but at the conclusion of the trial Judge Dickinson found Gordon xullty and {ssued a writ of ouster agalnst him. In his findings and order for judgment Judge Dickinson said ““The court finds that the allegations of the complaint, as contained in the firet, second, third, fourth, ffth, sixth, eighth, tenth, fourteenth and sixteenth charges and specifications thereof are true as alleged in sald complaint, ex- cept that the court finds there was no actual corruption shown by the evidence and that no corruption exiats, except such as may be inferrcd by law from the acts of the respondent, as disclosed by the evi- dence, and that hy reeson of the acts charged in above named charges of the complaint the respondent Is guilty of mal- feasance in office. “It I8 therefore considered by the court that the respondent, S. I. Gordon, be and is hereby removed from the office cf police judge of the city of Omaha." These Charges True. The specific charges upon which Jud, Gordon was found gullty were as follows The first charge was malfeasance in of- | flce, th® specification being that Judge Gor- don oun Jaouary 15, 1600, unlawfully, will- | tully, maliciously and corruptly suspended the sentence of one James Bowen and re- turned to him, or to his attorney, the sum of $22.50, which had been paid by Bowen | in settlement of a fine tmposed by Gordon. Bowen had been fined upon pleading gullty to a charge of petit larceny | The third charge was misteasance In of- fice, the specification belng the same as | that relating to the first charge. The third charge was malfeasance in of- fiee, the specification being that Judge Gor- don on June 15, 1809, unlawfully, willfully, | maliciously and p suspended the sentence of one Willlam Jones and returned to him, or to his attorney, the sum of $3.50, which had been paid by Jones in settlement of a fine imposed by Gordon. Jones had been fined upon pleading guilty to a mis- demeanor, The fourth charge was malfe nce o after they had pleaded guilty, or remitting | Mce, ‘he specification’ being the same as that relating to (he third charge The fifth ¢harge was malfeasance In of Ace, the specification being that Judge Gor- don on June 25, 1899, unlawfully, willtully maliclously and corruptly suspended the sentence of Tke #flverstine and Morris Ren gon and returned to them, of (o thelr at ‘orney, the sum of $3.50. which had been d by them in settlement of a fine im posed by Gordon. Stlverstine and Rangen had been fned upon pleading guilty to o charge of disturbing the peace The sixth charge was malfeasance in of Ace, the specification being the same as that relating to the Aifth charge. Unmindinl of Duaty. The eighth charge was that Judge Gor don, unmindful and in flagrant disrezard of his duties, at numerous dates from Jan- tary, 1808, to July 11, 1500, unlawfully will tully and corruptly suspended sentences whieh been fmposed by him on numer- ous offenders and violators of the law, and after such offenders and violators of th law had been committed to the city fall be ordered their discharge without requiring them to pay thelr fines or serve out their terms of imprisonment. The specifications relating to this charge were that Gordon, without authority or jurisdiction, suspended the sentences and pardoned the following unamed prisoners on the dates mentioned: Raymond Leasure, August 1899; John F. Baxter, November ! Tom Nolan, December 21, 189 Deotris, December 20, 1809; J. H. Wal- bwin and T. D. Lane, January 1, 1900; Hebell Wilson and Bill Rich, February 1900; James K. Tadlock, April 24, 1900; James Houston, June 4, 1900; Nels Lindstrom, June 5, 1900; Charles Doyle, June 1, 1900, The tenth charge was of the same nature s the elghth, but the specifications relat- ing to it named fourteen additfonal cases In which Judge Gordon had unlawfully sus- pended sentences and pardoned prisoners. The fourteenth charge was that Judge Gordon unlawfully dismiesed a criminal case against one L. Sawyer, the specifica- tion stating (hat Sawyer pieaded guilty to the offense charged, but Gordon re- fused to accept the plea The sixteenth charge was that Judge Gor- don, at numerous and divers dates from January, 1896, to September, 1000, unlaw- tully, maliclously, corruptly and arbitrarily entered and made numerous continuances in criminal cases, and later on dismissed many of the cases, suspended sentences and discharged defendants in others of the cases, tll to the encouragement of crime in Omaha, to the scandal of the police court and to the loss and injury of the school district [ Prickly Ash Bitters cures disease of the kidne: cleanses and strengthens the liver, stomach and bowels. ST. PATRICK'S FAIR OPENS John Rush, Father Dowling Father Smith Make Open- ing Speeches. The Catholic fair for the benefit of St. Patrick’s church commenced last night at Turner's hall, Thirteenth and Martha streets, and will continue until November 2, inclusive. The large hall is beautifully decorated and around the Ils are arranged booths, In which are displayed the various articles to be raffled off at the close of the falr, Including everything from a sack of flour to dlamond carrings and the finest of fancy work. Another very interesting feature that attracts the old as well as the young is the fish pond. The program opened with a short talk by the chairman, John Rush, who reviewed the founding of the church, etc. Mr. Rush stated the indications were that at the close of the fair the entire church debt would be paid off. After a selection by the church choir, Mr. Rush introduced the speaker of the evening, Rev. M. P. Dowling, president of Creighton university. Father Dowling sald: ‘It was announced that I was to speak on the ‘Future of the Republi The question 1 think Is ‘too momentous to speak on at this time—the opening of a church baza Father Dowl- ing then related several amusing Incidents that had come under his notice in regard to church fairs, which kept the audfence in & thorough good humor. In speaking of the future of the republic, beforo the close of his talk, the speaker stated that the religi- ous element would be a factor In the future of the country. The youths of the country should be brought up under religious In- fluences. Arts of peace and not of war | should be practiced. Charity, the spirit of justice and integrity count In the per- petuity of our country. To the members of | the parish he said: “Let it be sald to be- come better Catholics Is to become better clitizens." Rev. Dowling was followed by Father Smith of 8t.

The Disappointments of a Weak Mother. | After the baby's coming the weak mother often has her first great disap pointment in not being able to nurse her child. Perhape she is not strong enough to sustain more than her own life during the days of slow convalescence. Perhaps there is a lack of the secretions which make the baby's food. In any case she feels robbed of half the joy of her ma- ternity because she cannot unurse her child.” And she envies the healthy woman who cares for it and who per- mits the mother to occasior.ally see and caress hier own haby, If women would consider the matter they could hardly expect to be strong after the baby's coming if they were weak before. The womnan who suffers during the prenatal period—who is nervous and sleepless aud without appetite, is exhausting her vitality before the hour of her trial, when that time comes her very weakn increases her sufferings and prolon them. It is no wonder, if, after the baby is born, the mother has no strength to nurse it The one great necessity for happy motherhood is good health, THE SECRET OF HEALTHY MOTHERHOOD lies largely in the proper preparation for the great physical strain and drain which women undergo at such a time. A proper preparation for maternity will keep the nerves tranquil and the temper even ; it will encourage the appetite and give restful sleep. It will enable the mother to actively engage in her household duties until the time of the baby’s ad- v;:n and give her strength to give her ¢ Because it does all this and more women have named Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription " A God-send to mothers.” “I take this opportunity of expressing my everlasting znmnde to you for the wonderful benefits I have received from the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription and ‘Golden Medical Discov- ery,'” writes Mrs. E. H. Newton, of Vanburen, Aroostook Co., Maine. "My b-b{ was born in May, 1896, and for weeks after I was delirious, My friends did not know whether I would live or die. The doctor in attendance did not give much encouragement, and said that if T did get well I would never live through another such period. When I consulted ‘ou in April, 1899, I was in poor health ; had been sick all winter, nd to add to my trouble, was on the road to what the doctor said would end my days. I was almost discous 3 did not expect any help, but thought the end was only a matter of time, and—oh ! my two poor, little. motherless childres ‘ “Tt was in this condition that | began the use of ye r valuable medicine, On receipt of vour letter of April 6th my husband purchiased six bottles and T used it as you directed.

I cannot find words to express my gratitude to you, and T hope you may long be spared to perform the work in which you are now engaged.” MOTHERS PONDER THIS! Tt is not you only who suffer when you are weak during the term of maternity, but your child must suffer also. It can have only what strength vou can give. Your nervousness, fretfulness and fear- fulness will leave a life-long impress upon your child, and while you in a few months will recover from the effects of the trial you have undergone, the baby's whole life will reflect the influence of those months of miaternal misery. If you can be a strong, healthy mother by any means, you owe it to your child to use those means atany cost. It is a matter of record that thousands of women to whom ma- ternity was a menace and a misery have been made healthy, happy mothers by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which gives abundant strength and makes the baby's advent practically painless. "1 cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce's Favorite " writes Mrs, of Big Otter, Clay Co., West Va. I feel it my duty to say to all women who are suffer- ing from female troubles that it is the best medi- cine on earth that they can use. I cannot praise it too highly for the good it has done me. "I am the mother of five children, 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 bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion and was only two hours in the hands of the doctor. REALLY WONDERFUL RESULTS, Rend the letter of Mrs. Rose carefully and you will realize why she cannot raise " Favorite Prescription” too highly. g‘he difference between one hundreg and ninety - two hours suffering reduced to two hours by the use of " Favorite Pre- scription” explains her gratitude, but cannot express it. It takes a woman and a mother to understand all that can be ible in one hundred and ninety- two hours of suffering at maternity Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription not oulyJiven the mother strength in the period of waiting, but it cures or pre: vents nausea, and makes the baby's advent practically painless. It is the Dest tonic and nervine for nursing moth- ers, It promotes the secretion of an abundance of nourishment for the child while giving strength to the mother. Al alcoholic and stimulating medicines are particularly dangerous to nursing mothers, or in the period of convalesence which follows the baby's birth. “Fi vorite Prescription” contains no alcohol, and is entirely free from opium, cocaine nd other narcotics.
