' LANUP.ARK THAT STOOD EIGHTEEN YEARS Packing Teaden Counell to Be Organ- lixed Tontuhi—More Plans for Ex- 4 ding—Notes from the Magie City, The big iron standpipe which has stood on the hill west of the sheep barns for oightaen vears Is to be pulled down. Fer feome time past this big reservoir has not been used and as the stock yurds company noeds the ground to make improvements this spring a contract has been let to pull fthe pipe down. The stack is elghty-four |teet In beighth, twenty feet in diameter, and will hold 350,000 gallons of water. U was erected In 1885 when the stock yyrds company needed water. Five wells Vore sunk at that time near where the foresent elevator building stands, and in addition, water was pumped from the credk 1o supply a sufficlent amount for the live- Wtock that was in the yards those days. Since the thirty-inch main was lafd from Florence to the packing houses and the jstock yards there has been no need for this standpipe full of water. Until the present time it has been held in reserve 1n case of a break In the water mains, but with the _service in the shape it is now there is no need of tifls additional supply, and consequently the old pipe will come down and make room for tracks, sheds and Fens. The contract for taking down the stack bis been let to the Wilson Steam Boiler fcompany of Omaba. It is understood that the lower shoes, and the bolts will be loosened at the base and that the stack will be lowered to the ground gradually, belng stayed by cables. With the removal of this standpipe one ‘ot the old time landmarks in South %'m‘ha will be gone. When engineers investigated the condition of the stack yesterday ome of the lower plates loosenied, and it was found that ice several feéet in thick- ness had formed, but as the water had /been drawn off previous to the loosening of the plate, no damage was done by the opening. 5 While the work of taking down this big column of iron and steel Is considered quite an engimeering feat, those in charge eay that it can easily be done and that the expense will not be as great as might be supposed. When down on the ground the pipe will be loosened into sections and Mauled y on big wagons. Should the 'weather remain good for a day or two the work will progress rapidly, and most likely before the middle of the week the stand- pipe will have dissppeared entirely. Packing Trades Couneil, At Trades and Labor hall tonight, Mr. ‘Donnelly, president of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of North America, will organize a Packing ‘Trades council, All members of unfons in the packing houses are eligible and will be given representation. Through a represen- tative Mr. Donnelly stated yesterday that the new organization had nothing to do with an increase in the present scale as the men In the packing plants here ap- peared to be satisfled with the present scale of wages. Mr. Donnelly will leave Omalis on Tuesday for Nebraska City, whee he will stop for & day. While here Mr. Donmelly will be entertained by the central organisation. Draws More Plans. Chief Engineer King of the Union Stock Yards company has completed plans for ‘the building of a wing of the new exchange bullding, More ofice poony is needed and with the wing euthorized there wl“’k twenty additional offices. Ten of These office fooms will bé on the ground floor, while the ather tan will be on the second story. It Is understood that the style of architecture will conform to the general style of the new exchange bullding erected same time ago. Brizgs Having Trouble. Chiet of Police Briggs is at Pond Creek, Okis., where went with documents to bring back H. M. Brown, who is wanted on an old charge of kidnaping Emma Ford.

Miss Forbes is new to us, but comes with a fécommendation of several years of suc- cessful work in connection with the Neill stock company on the Pacific coast.

Disenses. CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Dr. Joseph H. Loeb has discovered that disease such as St. Vitus' dance, paralysis agitants, locomotor ataxia and ‘sleeplessness can be cured by admintstering calcium salts, that is, such salts as are found in well water and many foods. Announcement of this discovery by the former head of the department of phys- iology at the University of Chicago has just boen made. In one of the decennial Publications just issued by the university press Dr. Loeb tells of his experiments on lower forms of life and the conclusions suggested In regard to human belngs. Simply stated, the conclusion Is that'the presence of calclum salts In the muscles 18 what prevents thelr twitching; that practically all nervous i are caused by tho absence of the calcium, and that, therefore, to restore normal sonditions and effect & cure, & dose of calclum salts is suffclent. MANSLAUGHTER IS VERDICT North Carolina Jury Finds Bishop Guilty After Ten Days' Con tion. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Feb. 22.—Arthur L. Bishop, the traveling salesman charged with the murder of Thomas J. Wilson, was found guilty of manslaughter this after- roon and was remanded to jail. He will be brought before Judge Neal tomorrow to receive sentence. The case was given to the jury at 11 on Thureday night and until today a disagree- ment seemed inevitable The penalty for manslaughter is four months in jail as the minimum and twenty years in the penitentlary as the maximum. Bishop traveled for a pottery firm and killed Charles J. Wik in December last. He had gone to Wilson's home in company | with Miss Schultz end Miss Ada Wilson, daughter of the deceased. Wilson discov- ered the three in his parlor drinking wine and ordered Miss Schultz and Bishop to leave. Bishdp wanted to parley and Wilson endeavored to eject him when he was shot and killed.

BALKAN WAR RUMORS SPREAD Macedonians Are Reported Arming to Invade Turkish Territory. POWERS DEMAND REFORMS FROM PORTE a and Austria Semi-OMecially Tell Christian Subjects Must e Detter Cared for by Mostem Rulers. Ru VIENNA, Feb. 22.—It is reported that the Macedonian leader, Boris Sarafoff, has or- ganized, within the past fortnight, several well-equipped Bulgarian bands in Mace- [ donla, cach consisting of about 250 mes. The Neue Frele Prease learns that 4,000 armed Macedonians are concentrated near the celebrated Rila monastery, forty miles from Sofla, and are preparing to attack the town of Menlik, in the Turkish province | of Seres. There is an unconfirmed rumor that the Albanians have attacked the Rouman- ian consulate at Mitrovitze, Turkey, twenty miles northwest ot Prishtira. CONSTANTINOVLE, Feb. 22.—The Aus- trian and Russian ambassadors presented identical memoranda to the po-te on urday embodying demands for reforms in Macedonia. They afterward acqusinted the forelgn minister of the step taken. Tris course was adopted to give the proceodings a semi-official character. The chief proposal is the appointment of an inspector general with power to act in- dependently and to requisition troops in cases of emergency. The plan also provides | for the reorganization of the gendarmes and police undor European instructors, for ad- ministrative and financial reforms snd for a more equitable collection o, taxes These reforms do not affect the sultan's prerogative or wound the religious suscep- tibllities of the Moslems. MORGAN IS A HARD FICHTER (Continued from First Page.) constructed by this time but for the fact that the attorney general insisted upon more money and a more commodious siti which he is certain to get. The house h provided in a bill now pending in the sen- ate for & new home for the Department of Agriculture and before that bullding is completed at least $2,000,000 will have been spent vpon it. The District of Columbla is to have a new home for its officlals in a building to be raised on the most sightly location along Pennsylvania avenue and it is quite probable that the new Department of Commerce just created will be provided with & home of its own through an appro- priation before the end of the Fifty-seventh congress. Besides this an amendment is pending to the sundry civil appropriation bill in the senate, which, if it carries, will make possible the erection of an adequate and appropriate bullding for the Natlonal | museum, now housed in a veritable fire- trap of a structure. The National musuem, tablished as a result of the Centennial exposition, in 1877, was firet looked upen as a sort of a toy, having no particular use, ‘which might be pushed into any convenient | hole large enough to accommodate it. Bince it was founded, howe: collections of all sorts of valuable relics and curios have been gathered together, which, should they be destroyed by fire, could never be replaced. Notable among them are the Washington and Grant relics. There are collections of preclous stones ard specimens of taxid- ermy unexcelled in any museum fin the world. From a small, insignificant collection the National museum has grown year by year, untfl it bids fair to rival the Brit- ish museum within a very short period. 80 crowded is the bullding at present, how- ever, that hundreds of thousands of dol- lars’ worth of material is packed away in boxes and fis absolutely usel 1t would be unwise to extend the present butlding, because it is constructed of mate- rial inflammable to the highest degree, and consequently the effort now being made to provide for a new structure is ltkely to be successful, 1f not by March 4, at least during the first sesslon of the next congress. Army of Trained Servants. Not one visitor in a thousand who comes to Washington and who attends soclal functions has any idea that there is em- ployed in the varions executive depart- ments a vast army of trained butlers, footmen and waiters, avatlable at all times to ald Washington society in enterlaining its guests. For twenty years past and per- haps for a longer period, it has been the custom for retiring officials, such as cab- inet officers, to provide their house ser- vants with places in the federal service. Mr. Secrétary Blank's coachman, for in- stance, is made a messenger in the depart- ment over which he presided. Mr. Post- master General Brown's former footman now occuples a post as watchman in the Postofce department, while the butler of Mr. Attorney General Robinson occuples & like position in the Department of Justice. It is an unwritten law that these formor house servants sha'l not be disturbed in their places because of a change in ad- ministration and consequently there are be- tweeh 300 and 400 men of this class per- forming service in minor capacities in the executive departments, All these men have thelr names registered on the books of the leading caterers of Washington. Whed- ever a senator or cabinet officer or anyone else In the soclal swim desires to give a dinner party or amy other function re- | quiring the services of extra servants, he notifies his particular caterer who sends | up the requisite amount of soups and terra- pin and salads, entrees, roasts and fices, and In addition, a sufficient force of trained men, well dressed and dignified in appear- ance, to look after the service. In this way Washington soclety is furnished with & foree of men who not only bear the stamp of respectability, but who thoroughly understand their dutics. There is hever a | dearth of such employes, and during the winter season no man who has had exper- lence as a house servant and who has the recommendation of his former employer, needs to be without employment for five evenings out of seven of each weck. Some | of these men, the best of them, earn far more in this manner than they do from the government. Their nours tn offes are from 9 to 4 and their average wages 18 $60 a month. At night between the hours of 8 and 1 they are frequently pald $10 and in some instances as high 320, so that the department messenger with a good record as a house servant frequently earns, at least during ‘he winter, as much or more than the chief of the bureau in which THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MO he serves.

For example, tne list of ineli- gibles includes: Chiropodis doctors, dentists, dress- makers, manicurists. The appointments will be among the finest in the ecountry;" but what are ap~ polntments without a chiropodist or a man- feurist? A great office building is supposed to provide all the conveniences and many of the luxuries. According to the Pittsburg Dispateh, moet of the Pittsburg office bulldings houss all the professious forbidden above and “others having a large clientele among the fair sex.” The implication seems to be un- favorable to the state of civilization fn Pittsburg end to suggest that only the women there take thought and care of their hands and feet.

Fifteen hundred vis- | itors are expected, and one half that num- | ber is already here. Representatives of Louisville, Cleveland | and Milwaukee have been here all day to urge their claims for the next national | congress. Chicago and New York came in this evening, the latter delegation being | headed by Dr. Timm, Thomas Curtiss and Joseph Thumb. Mayor Bookwalter, president of the con- gress, has surrounded himself with a local | reception committee of two hundred which is devoting its time to recelving the ar- rivals. Cleveland headquarters have been established at the Denison and Loulsville and Milwaukee are at the Grand. Mayor Bookwalter, ex-Maypr Taggart, | Mayor Gralnger of Loulsville and Mayor Rose of Milwaukee held a conference this afternoon, which was attended by & num- ber of prominent bowlers. There was con- gratulation over the fact that the congress this year has brought an apparent spirit of compromise among the delegates, and it 18 believed there wit be no split in the national organization. Short addresses made called attention to the high class of men the congress has brought together. It was stated the delegates are, as a rule, business men, and of higher grade than has generally attended former congresses. This was taken as an indication that the sport is being elevated, and that bowling has be- | come strictly a gentleman's game. The congress will meet tomorrow at 9, The adoption of a constitution will be the first business. It is proposed to change the constitution to make the basis of represen- tation by states instead of by tournaments, | in order to recognize state erganizations. As to the use of loaded balls, President Bookwalter says the decision tomorrow will probably be a compromise allowing loaded balls, but limiting the weight to seventeen and one-half pounds, \ ‘We have legislation as to size,” he said “and now we will fix the weight. Wooden | balls welghing from twelve to fitteen pounds | have been weighted to twenty and twenty- two pounds. I think the result will be to allow any kind of wooden ball loaded it de- At the con- gress this week loaded balls will have an advantage as the pins are all new, but a that the pins | are three pounds two ounces instead of three pounds four ovuces.” The selection of officers and the place of the next congress will take place on Thurs- day, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Louisville are after tho congress.
