The milk dealers are preparing to fight the “oases and several of them differ with the doctors regarding the harmfulness of for- maldehyde. One dealer sald today: “As far as formaldehyde is concerned, I do not belleve that any injurious effects result from its use unless it Is put into milk in excessive quantities. We all know that formaldehyde is a polgon, but it Is used, I am Informed by physiclans, for medical purposes. Physiclans also say that if the medicinal formaldehyde is used in no greater quantities than are neces- sary to preserve the milk, it is more apt to do good than harm. Of course it it 1is put Into milk In greater quantities it may have a deleterious effect. ™I don't know how long mik may e preserved by its use, but the great object 18 of course to enable a milkman to carry his supply over one day. Milk that has been carried about in a wagon from § o'clock in the morning untll noon is hot in vory good form to last until it can be Atstributed next day, and it is there that the use of a little formaldehyde or other preservative comes ir quite profitably. “I can pealize that most of the milkmen are not expert chemists. Som¢ of them may even imagine that If a little formalde- hyde will preserve milk for a day, more may prolong its life still further, and through sheer ignorance may render the milk they sell absolutely dangerous to health, but unless physicians are mistaken the amount of the preservative mecessary to preserve the milk will do nobody any Another dealer who is slated for afrest jumps on the food inspector for not going after others who sell adulterated tbods and whiskies. He sald: “Probably the pure f00d laws are all right, but it seems to me that some of its provisions should be lev- eled at the sale of whisky. The officials are puttering around here trying to pick flaws which no one seems to con- sider dangerous to life or health, while there are all sorts of adulterations of whisky and other beverages of the charac- ter that receive no attention from the law. The milkman is usually an obscure individ. ual who goes along attending to his own business and doesn't try to run the politics of the state, wherefore he {s picked out as an easy mark for some man to practice on Who is anxious to show an excuse for drawing & salary from the state. Nobody has heard of anyone belng polsoned by the milkman and no one can point out an in- stance whereln any man has been ruined in health by the use of so-called adulter- ated milk, but I can go out on the street any minute and point out men who have been worse than killed by polsons that are sold without hindrance every day in the year, Sundays not excepted. There is noth- ing being sald about the men who sell cocalne, morphine and oplum and rulm the lves of hundreds, but the authority of the state 1s being frantically invoked to cause trouble for the man who is simply sus- peoted of using formaldehyde. I really be- lieve that if the inspectors were to go out and milk our cows themselves they would be able to discover a trace of formaldehyde in the product in order to justify/the crea- tion of thelr jobs. Primary Law in Supreme Court. The case of Winnett against Adams, growink out of the direct primary system, reached the sipreme court today after hav- ing been through the grist of the district court. It is the case in which Winnett and others when running for the legislative nominations sought to run in other pre- cincts than their own. The county central Mad Dog Scare Continues. HOLDREGE, Neb.,, Aug. 28.—(Special)— The mad dog scare still exists. The peo- ple who went to Chicago to be examined at the Pasteur institute were told after examination that it would be best for them to take treatment, and accordingly they are taking it. Lester Potts, a young man who was also bitten by one of the pupples, has gone to Chicago for treat- ment. The scare has moved the city au- thoritles to prompt action. The ocouncil has passéd an ordinance requiring a tax on all dogs, with a death penalty for those upon which tax is not paid, and the board of health has issued a proclamation to the effect that all dogs found running at large within the city limits without a muzzle shall forthwith be shot by the marshal or other officer. People owning dogs have been warned to muzzle or tie them up im- mediately. As the litter of pupples affected and their mother were all killed, it is not prob- able that they bit other dogs, yet any dog showing signs of madness or acting in ai unusual manner will be promptly dls- patched. Deputy Sheriff Barr was nipped on the leg by a dog, and he promptly killed the animal. Cana C ity W. C. T. U. Meets.

BEATRICE, Neb., Aug. 28.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Charles Miller was shot and fatally wounded near Adams this evening by Deputy Sheriff Galloway. Miller was want- ed on the charge of horse stealing, but has succeeded in evading the officers for several years. The deputy sheriff learned that he was in the neighborhood of Adams. Knowing Miller always went heavily armed the officer took his rifie and started in search of the fugitive. He had not gone more than two miles when he caught sight of Miller and ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of obeying the officer, Mil- ler tried to escape by riding away on his horse. '‘The officer opened fire, but the fugitive rode on. Traces of blood along the road showed that Miller had been seriously wounded. He was later found at his home in adying condition. A physiclan was sum- moned and discovered that the ball had en- tered his body just above the heart. Miller cannot possibly recover. He has given the officers much trouble in this section and is regarded as a desperate man. Anti-Saloon League at Papill PAPILLION, Neb, Aug. 28.—(Spec Dr. J. B.

And the pictures printed in The Bee are pictures that show something, that give you an idea of what really occured and what it looked like. This has always been one of the strong fea- tures of The Illustrated Bee. Its pictures mean something. They are made for the paper by skilled photographers, who understand the difficult art of news photog- raphy, and who invariably get the pictures that tell the story. This is another of the very many reasons why The Illustrated Bee is 80 popular among its readers and why It s so generally admired by all who see it. AWN TENNIS PLAYERS MOVE WON- DERFULLY SWIFT when playing the game and it takes an expert phetographer with the best sort of equipment to get pictures that show the points of the game while it 18 in progress. This is what The Bee sent down to the Fileld club courts last week while the impor- tant matches were being played, and the result is a collection of the best tennis pictures ever taken. They show all the experts in ac- tion, being made while the games were in progress, and are undoubt- edly the finest of the sort ever published in the west. The view of Fred Eberhardt serving in his mateh for the championship with Sanderson will delight any tennls player. THER AFFAIRS OF LOCAL INTEREST reviewed by The Bee camera during the week are the new Old FPeople's Home, at Twenty-fourth and Wirt streets, which was opened on Tuesday; the startling collapse of two four-story bulld- ings on Douglas street on Wed- nesday; the postal clerks’ picnic at Krug park, and some similar matters of more than common im- portance. IBERIA AND ITS @PPORTUNITIES forms the subject of Frank G. Carpenter's weekly letter, telling of how the Russians are gobbling Asia.

SOLDIERS KILLED IN WRECK Acoident Sbortens Festivitios in Honor of King and Quees CALAMITY ON RAILROAD IN ITALY Sixteen Lose Their Lives in Collision and More T xty Ar u Twelve of Who! May D ROME, Aug. 38.—A disastrous rallway ac- cldent has cut short the festivities and demonstrations in honor of the king and queen at Udine, the chiet town om, the eastern frontier, sixty miles from Venice, where the soverelgns had gone to view the grand army maneuvers. At 10 o'clock last night, near Udine, a train ‘overflowing with soldiers collided with a freight train. The force of the col- lision was terrific. Those on board were thrown in ali ditections and the coaches were broken up. Fifteen soldlers and one captain were killed and more than sixty injured, twelve dangerously. The colonel-in command of the soldlers was among the injured. Darkness rendered the confusion about the scene of the wreek extreme, while the cars took fire a few minutes after the col- lision. Fortunately the flames were im- mediately extinguished. Speclal trains were hurriedly sent to the scene of the disaster, carrying the authori- tles from the nearest town, who organized a corps of physiclans and administered to the wounded. King Victor Emmanuel visited the hos- pital in person later to ses the victims of the accident. . Later it was announced that the dead numbered twenty and the wounded eighty, Including six officers. A captain who was killed had his head cut oft and an engine driver was burned alive. Both engines were destroyed and soveral of the cars were crushed into splinters. The transpor- tation of the wounded was a pitiful sight, women crying all along the route. Queen Helena accompanied the king on his visit to the scene of the rallroad dis- aster and spoke words of sympathy to each of the wounded, with whom the king also shook hands. With the royal couple were the minister of war and the archbishop of Udine, the latter having received a tele- gram from the pope Instructing him to visit the hospital and assist at the funerals of the victims. CAUSE OF BUILDING DELAY Ex-Army Officer Who H Be Located Before St Can Go Up. s Liem to house Inquiry at the office of the chief quarter- master of the Department of the Missourt over the delay in recuring and perfecting the title to the plece of property on which the new quartermaster storehouse is to be bullt develops the fact that ah ex-army officer who held a trust llen against the property could not be located until re- cently. He was traveling somewhere In Canada, was finally located, the quit claim was properl# obtained and the warranty deed has been forwarded to the quarter- master general's dopartment. This w done a week ago. The work on the new building will be advanced without un- necessary delay and advertisements for proporals will be published as soon as the receipts for the deeds have come back from Washington. It is learned from the office of the United States district attorney that the matter of investigating the title was first referred to the Department of Justice about June 1. Just at that time court was busily e ed in the trial of the two murder cases and, though much hampered by a press of im- portant business, the work of investigating the title was at once taken up. The strip of property in question is a tri- anguar strip between the rallroad tracks and the government corral on Twenty- second street. Eight or ten persons were concerned in the title. There were a num- ber of judgments against the property and a considerable amount of delinquent taxes and miscellaneous liens. The property is a part of the old, original Shull tract of which the present fenced government cor- ral is also & part. The work of stralghtening out the titi involved a large amount of tedious and | technical work and it had to be traced | back to the original government patent. The matter finally has been straightened out and the correct deeds and abstracts were sent to Washington a week age Thursday. ABOUT ONE-THIRD GET IN The recrulting service has not been quite as active during the month of August thus far as was hoped for. However, twelve enlistments have been made, the greater per cent of them being for the coast artil- lery service. Most of the recruits wero sent to Fort Stevens, Ore. One more will be sent from here today and two from Hastings Saturday. _There has been no lack of applicants for enlistment, but very few of them come up to the physidal requirements. Some men of apparently fine physiques upon critical examination are found to be affiicted with bad teeth, flat feet, over or under welght in relation to helght, defective vision, m- pairment of hearing, and a host of obscure allments that unfit them for hard military service. Unlon Pacific wrecker and a force of men. | The two broken cars were lifted from the track and then the wrecker lifted the front trucks of the big engine onto the track. The engine was badly damaged, but only the front trucks left the track. COMRADES OF THE GOVERNOR “T. W. Blake of Osceola and John B.

ELKHORN AND JEFFERSON ARE SECOND Total Loss Estimated at Ten Thonsand Dollars and Work of Repair and "~ Great damage farm property Is indicated by reports received, in the county commissioners' of fice from various points in Douglas county. Douglas precinct seems to have been the worst stricken by the overabundance of water, while Elkhorn and Jefterson are about tled for second place. All along the Paplo and its tributaries injury was wrought by the high waters, the exact extent of which will not be determined until the waters subside. Roads in many parts of the county are Impassable, being covered several feet deep with water and tmpaired by washed-out bridges and culverts. The total damage is placed at $10,000, with prospects of a higher loss. The commis- sloners are busy investigating conditions and planning rellef. Commissioner O'Keefte, who is chalrman of the road committee, went out to Elkhorn precinct Thursday and was to report conditions to Commis- sioner Connolly Friday, in order that materfal may be sent to him in the Elkhora river, which has leaped its ban'ss in the northwest corner of the precinct and has forced new channels. The 30-foot steel bridge over the Elkhorn on Military road, withstood the current, but does not now span the path of the stream. The latter has wormed its way east of the bridge and totally departed from lts former course. to bridges, roads and To Check the Elkhorn. The tendency of the Elkhorn to be unruly n this vicinity had been noted and a con- tract let for regulating its career by dikes, ias It was feared a new channel would be formoed west of the bridge. The unexpected happened, however, and it was to the east of the structure that the river decided to flow. Tentatively it Is pianned to force the water back under the bridge by the erec- tlon of a temporary dike of bags of sand, which will be shipped out on the advice of Commissioner O'Keeffe. Road Bupervisor Ole Olsen was in from Douglas preoinct yesterday. Ho de- clared emphatically that every bridge and culvert In his district had gone out and said there had been great loss of hay and other crops. He reported that Sam McCarthy, a farmer near Seymour lake, had eleven stacks of hay, valued at $100 each, swept away by the flood. From Olsen's house, near the B. & M tracks, the vista toward Sarpy Mills was one wide waste of water He could see the tree tops and the roof of the mills and that was all. Some of the ronds, he declared, were covered ten feet with water, Another specific case of damage was re- ported from Bennington, where Henry Echroeder had seventy-three hogs drowned and carrfed away by the waters, Further disastrous accounts of havoo wrought by the torrents of water are looked for and preparations are being made for hurry-up work on bridges and roads.
