N e | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY EBRUARY 26 1 THREATEN SOUTHERY PACIFIC Machin'sts Talkof Palling Ont Their Men on Western Road, PRESIDENT O'CONNELL COMING TO OMAHA Report that Has Discharged Those Who Refused. James O'Connell, president of the Inter- Batlonal Association of Machinists, is com- Ing to Omaha at once and there is every prospact that after a long surcease of ac- tivity there will be something doing In the Union Pacific strike. Mr. 0'Connell is com- ing in response to an urgent telegraphic Fequest from Vice President Tom Wilson, sent Tuesday, and he has wired that he will leave Washington 8aturday. That will bring him to Omaha Monday or Tuesday. The propoeition is to pull out the ma- chinists along the Southern Pacific. This has never been considered before during the progr of the strike. The bofler makers bave openly agitated taking out thelr Southern Pacific men, but the machinists have not made such plans before. But Since all efforts to bave the fifteen South- ern Pacific engines In the service of the Union Pacific removed bave proved fruit- less the extension of the strike has been contemplated. " Mr. Wilson has been gathering data on the attitude and condition of the men on the western road and ho now has the mat- ter all ready to lay before President O'Con- nell. The Southern Pacific, half antlefpat- ing a strike because of the many reports that it was to be extended, has been for montha working its men overtime, night and day, 8o as to get the motive power in the best possible condition. Basis for o Strike. Two weeks ago Wilson succeeded In get- ting the overtime stopped, save for running repairs. Since then a few men have been discharged for refusing to work overtime. That furnishes the basis for a strike, re- lfeving it of all sympathetic elements. Machinists at headquarters here s from information received yesterday in re- #ponse o queries there are 150 machinists at Bacramento, all ready to go out, forty- nine at Wadsworth in the same state of mind and fifty-two at Ogden equally will- ing. At the latter place there three nonunion men. All the others are union. Reports from the other Southern Pacific points are being gathered. - ‘When Mr. O'Connell comes he will be given this information, the situation will be explained and he will then be asked to present the matter t the executive board for a vote. This body refusing to call out the men, Wilson says the strikers here may | have to do it on their own responsibility, as it is the only effective course left to them. Wilson s they are now financially xed to take the matter through on both roads. The Codrage of Our Soldiers, In the recent report recelved from the Philippine Islands a high tribute s patd to the cour- age and kindness of our soldlers in mil- itary operations. There 1is also great tribute paid to the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters by thousands of grateful people Wwho owe their good health to its use, If you are a sufferer from heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia, insomnla, constipa- Uon, bilousness or malaria, try a bottle of the Bitters today. It will prove the first step towards gocd health.

There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really cure. The old practice of souffing salt water through the nose would often relieve, and douches, powders and inhalers are very little, if any, better than the old fashioned ealt water douche. The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose | and throat to cure catarrh s mo more reasonable thau to rub (ke back to cure | kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and it can not be cured by local treatment any more than they can | be. To cure catarrh throat or stomach whether In the head, an internal antiseptie | treatment is necessary to drive the catar- rhal polson out of the blood and system, #nd the mew catarrh cure is designed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because being used fnternally, it drives out catarrbal in- fection through action upon stomach, liver d bowels. Wm. Zimmerman of St. Joseph relates an experience with catarrh which is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: “I neglected a slight Dasal catarrh until it graduslly extended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became affected, | but as I was able to keep up and do a day's work I let it run along untll my hearing began to fall me and then I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or lose my position, as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely neceseary. Bome of my friends recommended an in. hal another a catarrh salve, but they were no good in my case, nor was anything else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and bought & package at my drug store. They benefited me from the start snd in less than four months I was com- pletely cured of catarrh, although I had suffered nearly all my life from it. TO ENFORCE THE SLOCUMB LAW Lawyer Martin otifies Police Board that He Wil Apply for a weit, Wednesday afternoon, just before 3 o'clock, notice was served on the Fire and Police commissioners and the chief of po- lice by George C. Martin of the intention of John D. MacRae to apply to ths supreme court of Nebraska for a peremptory wr.t of mandamus to compel the enforcement of the Slocumt law to the letter in Omaha The application Wil be made on Tuesday, March 3. John D. MacRae, the relator, is a travel- ing man in the employ of Parlin, Orendor! & Martin. He owns his residence at 8$10 Bouth Twenty-seventh street and has been A& frequent protestant against the issuing of a license for the operation of the sa- loon at 2705 Leavenworth street. Attorney Martin said: “Mr. MacRae has protested to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners for sev- eral years without avail. He is a temper- ance man and objects to the salcon selling cn Bundays, to minors and with the screens up, all three of which objections are cov- ered by the Slocumb law. This year he pro- tested against when Charles Metz applied for the license. The present board ignored his protest altogether. We went into dis- trict court and secured from Judge Estelle a writ of mandamus compelling the board to reconvene, revoke the Mets license and grant a hearing on the protest, but the eftect of this was temporarily annulled by the judge’s allowing Metz to flle a super- sedeas bond and carry the case up to the supreme court on error. Probably it will be six months or more before the court reaches the cage and in the meantime the saloon may continue ‘n operation. “This clupilrd Mr. MacRae Into tak- ing & more saftary course. Primarily, of course, he wishlp the saloon near his home to obey the Blocamb law, but he is willing that all should be brought to time, and so asks the supreme court for this writ of mandamus. ““Yes, this action could bave been started in district court, but It doesn’t cost much more to go into the supreme court, and we took it there to save time that might be lost 1f we began In district court and the matter was carried up subsequently on ap- peal of some kind.” YOUNG OSTRANDER IS SUED Wife of Few Months Sues for Di- vorce om .

Now that the Workmen temple at Twen- ty-fifth and M etreets is nearing comple- tion, the members of the building commit- tee having in charge the comstruction of the temple are turning their attention to the condition of M street between Twenty- fourth and Twenty-Afth streets. It is pro- posed now to endeavor to secure the paving of this street from the west line of Twenty- fourth street to the east lne of Twenty- Afth street. Several times in the past an effort has been made to secure tne signa- tures of enough property owners to pave this one Mock, but there always has been some hitch. Now that the largest hall in South Omaha ‘s soon to be opened, it 1s consdered no more than right that a paved street should lead to it. One diffculty is the government bullding at Twenty-fourth and M. streets. The government has de- clined to pay the expense of paving any portion of M street, and s0 the cost will fall upon the city. At a rough estimate, this block can be paved with vitrified brick for $7,000. The cost of paving on the south side of the postofice building would be about $600. In \he event that the majority of the property owners can be induced to slgn a paving petition the council thinks that it can secure the necessary funds from some source to pave on the south side of the postofice. While it is a little early to talk of paving, the Workmen are pushing this project and hope to have matters in shape to present to the council by the middle of mext month. Another Complieation. When the South Omaha Library board met yesterday afternoon it was the inten- tion to make a draft on Andrew Carnegle's agent for $5,000. This was to be the first Inetallment of the $50,000 donated for a library in South Omaha. Certain forms must be carried out in order to pass the agents who handle Mr. Carnegle's money and yesterday another snag was struck. When the draft was partially made out it appeared that the Library board had no treasurer. In the organization it was pre- sumed that City Treasurer Howe would take this poriion of the work, although he had not been consulted. When it came to a showdown yesterday afternoon Mr. Howe did not think it part of his duty and as| a bond is required he did not feel like | going to the expense of paying for a bond. | without mailing the draft. An effort will| be made today to induce one of the cash- ters of the banks here to act as custodian of the funds. As soon as this detall is arranged the draft will be forwarded. At the rate matters are progressing the pro- posed library building will be a long time coming. Rev. Blom Coming. Rev. A.

Mr. Shea was arralgned before Judge King at noon and pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder in the second degree. As it was uot deemed advisable to detain the court after the usual hour of closing, the matter of bonds will go over for a day or two. In case bonds are furnished 1t 1s under- stood that the preliminary hearing set for Saturday will be continued, or else the examination will be waived. When Shea appeared In court yesterday noon with his attorney he was well dressed, looked well and was not at all nervous when the war- rant was read to him by Captain Troutan. He greeted his friends in the'court room with a hearty handshake and a pleasant word. When the amount of the bond to be given was announced by Judge King nefther Shea nor his attorney made any sign of displeacure. Later on in the after- noon Shea had the pleasure of alring him- self on the sunoy side of the .ity hall bullding while waiting for his commitment papers to be made out Etter Wants Hose. Chief Etter of the fire department would like to have the city officlals purchase as soon as possible not less than 1,000 feet of hose and two horses for use in the depart- ment. Councilmen Broderick, Welsh and Smith, who compose ths fire and water committee, are free to say that Etter will have to go without hose unless some pro- vision is made to furnish funds. The city touncil, it appears, does not feel inclined to go against the law and permit any bills to accumulste in any of the departments until the present overlap is taken care of in some way. There is a'natural wear on hose each year which necessitates the pur- chase of from 600 to 1,000 feet of new hose. In addition to the hose needed now two horses are badly needed. Just now the city has no money to pay its firemen, let alone buylng hose and horses. It vas stated yes- terday that unless relief came soon the mayor would be requested to cut down both the fire and police departments in order to save money Want More Pa A petition has been signed for the paving of Thirtleth street from Q street south to Z street. Of course the curbing and gut- tering goes along with the paving petition. As B. Jetter owns a majority of the foot trontage, and he having signed the petition for all his lots on the street, it is more than likely that the city council will make | & favorable report when the petition is pre- sented. Jetter hopes to have this work done during the coming summer. It was ted at the city hall yesterday that in e ihe street was paved @ number of the old shacks now standing would be torn down to make room for modern houses to be erected for those employed near by. Muleaby Goes Back.

Mulcahy sppeared to be rational while comfined tn the aity fail hera, but the authorities fesl that he should be sent back to the asylum for further treatment. Mulcahy was a member of the police force in South Omaha when Tom Brennan was chiet of police. Tt is under- stood here that ilineas brought on a condi- tion of mind which forced the authorities to send Muleahy to the asylum for treat- ment.

LOUIS Will Take Part in the Great Exposi. in that TPlace in 1004, tion WASHINGTON, Feb. 26—When today's sossion of the continental congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution Wi called to order every seat was occupled and the galleries were crowded.

A greeting was extended by Mrs. Horton, who urged a hearty co-operation of the Daughters in the St. Louis exposition. She | gave a general invitation to a reception |0= be given in honor of the congress by the | board of lady managers tomorrow after- noon. The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion from the states included fn the Louls ana purchase, she snnounced, expect to cele- brate with appropriate ceremonies the an- niversary of flag day and the surrender of Yorktown October 19, 1904, d Mrs. Blair responded. She sald that so uch had been said of the enterprise that here was little.left for her to say. She sald that St. Louls would welcome all the daughters and thelr families and friends The Connecticut delegates moved a formal acceptance and it looked for a moment as 1t each individual state would respond, but Mrs, Donald McLean of New York offered an amendment, making the formal acceptance by gonnoetlcm that of the congress, as & body, which was agreed to. Mrs, rbauks, afibouncéd that news had just recelved of the probable fatal injury of Mrs. Wells, wite of Bishop Wells of Washingfon state. The remalnder of the session was devoted to.a discussion of zeveral amendments, the principal one of which was that of vesting the judicial power of the national soclety in a board of seven members, consisting of a presiding justice and six sssociate ju tices, appointive by .the president gemeral with the consent of the continental con- ess. Among the state delegates to the con- gress of the Daughters of tho American Revolution to elect regents and vice regents are: Iilinols, Mrs. Charles H. Deere, regent; Oregun, Mrs. J. B. Mont- gomery, Portland, regent (her eleventh election); Wyoming, Mrs. Willlam A. Rich- ards, wife of the commissioner of the gen- eral land office and ex-governor of Wy- oming, regent; Mrs. Frank W. Mondell, wife of Representative Mondell of Wy- oming, vice regent; lowa, Mrs. Maria Purdy Peck, regent; Mrs. George W. Ogllvie, vice regent. Mre. Donald McLean of New York, who has been prominently mentioned as a can- didate in the coming election for president- general, today formally announced her with- drawal. This action ensures the re-election of Mrs. Fairbanks and also means that Mrs. McLean will be a candidate for president- general two years hence. Mrs. Willlam Lee Lyons of Kentucky took the chair and Mre. Fairbanks reported ou the work of the committee on the pro- posed Continental Memorial ball. She said it was the sacred duty of congress to con- tribute to the fund for the erection of the hall, Subscriptions made by the state chap- ters to the Continental hall fund were an- nounced, the aggregate approximating $50,- 000. It 1s expected that the bullding will cost in the nefghborhood of $300,000. The plans for the proposed Continental hall were exhibited by means of stereopti- con views at the night session. The presentation of the plans was pre- ceded by a report of the subcommittee on architecture, of which Mrs. Eleanor Lind- say, wife of former Bemator Lindsay of Kentucky, 18 chairman. Mrs. Lindsay was presented on behalf of the Kentucky delegation and a number of other friends in the congress with & handsome silver pitcher, being a token of their appreciation of her work. Mrs. Aunle L. Wentworth of Massachu- setts presented and the convention adopted a resolution asking the legislatures of each of the thirteen original states to make appropriation to pay for the memorial col- umn of the Memorial hall which is to rep- resent the particular commouwealth. At the conclusion of the stereopticon ex- hibition the report made by Mrs. Lindsay was formally adopted and the plans will be referred to a board of expert architects who will pass finally on them.
