AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA te Out Place Where Oity Moaey. PEDDLERS IGNORE THE CITY LICENSE LAW Oity Olerk Poi No Regnlation of the M Police Pay No Attention to the v Who Ply Th An inspection of the rccords at the city fderk's office shows that littie it any at- tention {8 being paid by the pollce 10 tie | peddiers who are selilng without a ilcense Out of twenty peddlers doing bu:lness in the city at the present time only six have secured licenses. These peddlers’ licenses run from November 1 to May 1 and cost §0 for a one-horse rig and $3 for a team. Formerly when the mayor had charge of the police force he instructed the police to arrest every peddler doing business with- oyt a license. Unless a lcense was secured athonce the peddier was sent to jail, given ® trial and fined. In this way the city Teaped quite a sum, the money so derived @oing Into the general fund. Another source of revenue was the Ii- censes from Omahs installment wagons. Bo far this year only one instaiiment house loense has been taken out. These l.censes cost $5. Should the police force go to woik and round up all peddiers who are wo.k- ing without a license the general fund would be richer by several hundred dol- lars, but the mayor and city officials do not expect that this will be done. A city official looking after licenses of this sort at the right time the city could just as well take in §1,000 @ year or more, the only expense being the printiwg of license blanks and number plates for wagons. This expense Is triviei 4s compared to the amount to be | secured by a little attention to buslne s oa the PRrtrot the police. Tho poilse oficers @re not consfdercd to blame In this m.tter, @s thoy have not been given Instructlons. Again 80 many changes are made on the force that an officer hardly becomes ac- ?-mea with his duties betore a change ‘made. Advertises for Supplies, City Clerk Shrigley 1s preparing a list of supplies needed for the year 194. A Ilist! ot all supplies needed by the city in all de- partments, along with an estimate of the amounts required, will be prepared and bids will be asked for from dealers. These supplies will include all articles needed by the police and fire departments, printing, Odvertising and office supplies. Contracts for furnishing supplies will be let to the lowest responsible bidder. An attempt was made last year to put this plan in opera- tion, but on account of there being no money on hand to pay the blils, the matior was dropped. Now that the city iy work- ing'on a cash basis, the city will go ahead and make contracts. In this way it ex- pects to save considerable money, espe- clally In the purchase of coal and feed for the fire department. Not Seriously Injured. The physiclans attending Mrs. 8, M.

FORMER PREACHER PAROLLED Life Convict Released from Prison to Go to Dying Mother's Bedside. give o i Is in the turned in the ding of Nine- ‘eets. The cost INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 28—Rev. W. M. Hinshaw was released on parole today from the northern prison in order that he might go to the bedside of his mother, who is sald to be dying. It is not known whether his release will be permanent or not. He is serving a life sentence for the mur- der of his wife. In 1866 Hinshaw was the pastor of the Methodist church at Belle- wville, Hendricks county. On the night of January 16 he preached to a country con- gregation and at the door of the church one of the members invited him and his wife to his home for the night. The minis- ter declined the invitation, but iasisted that his wife accept it. She refused with 80 much vehemence that it attracted at- tention at the time and was recalled after- ward, About 1 o'clock the next morning the peo- ple of Belleville were startled by a ery of murder and when they reached the par- sonage they found Hinshaw In the yard bleeding from a bullet in his side and a number of knife cuts. His wife was lying In the kitchen door with a bullet in the brain, The story of the minister was that they had been attacked by burglars. There ‘were circumstances, however, which ex- cited suspicion against the minister and he was arrested and convicted.

WADSWORTH, Nev., Nov. 2.-(Special Telegram.)—We have made all necessary surveys and decided to build a tunnel through the Slerra Nevada mountains, five and one-quarter miles. That is our next big job." B. H. Harriman made this statement to & party of newspaper men here this evening on his arrivel at 6:30 p. m. Mr. Harriman sent this telegram: “To Alex Millar, New York City, Please ex- plain o boara of alrectors and Mr. Jacob Schift that we have just completed a trip over our road from Omaha. to Keno and find new work just finished and that stll iIn progress farther ‘anced than any of us_expected.

HARRIMAN, Continuing, Mr. Harriman sald: “The completion of the Ogden-Lucin cutoff is of great advantage to our system. It will be worth vast sums to us, but I would not eare to say what amount will be saved, nor what Its conmstruction cost. The cutoff is safe and will be permanent.

The photographers were trying to get a shot at B. H. Harriman and McMurray was assistifg an artist friend, and stepping up to a small man, the most unassuming in the crowd, he tapped him on the shoulder and said: “Will you please step aside and let the photographer take a picture.” ““Why, yes." replied the small man, every feature of his face denoting blank astonish- ment.

In all ordinary logle it might be thought that a melodrama that has stood the test of & quarter of a century deserves at least as much.

BROWN AND HIS BEER ing of the First Brewer of Lager © . + The recent death somewhere of a man of the name of Brown, who was reputed to be the first brewer of the beverage known as lager, has inspired many trib- utes In prose and verse, not only in this country, but in foreign lands. It does not seem to have mattered to the writers of these tributes to old man Brown whether or not his- title was clear. All they appear to have cared for was an op- portunity for saying a good word for gome- body who was in some way connected with the Introduction of the artlole. They leave to others the task of disputing his claims, or, rather, the claims of his friends, an are content if they be permitted to throw a few sheaves of barley or a few handfuls of hops, so to speak, on his honored grave. Thus, even away up in Winnipes, where one would suppose that there could be no great thirst for ldger, owing to the pre- valling low temperature of the atmosphere, old man Brown is not without admirers. One of them on hearing the sad news hastened to pen a tribute heginning: Old Brown Is dead, that Who Mired ‘the “r’db:mndch::.dr.mnn re He had the name of belng fi To brew the lager Aside from the poetic merits of this stanga it is Interesting as fllustrating the Canadian disposition to hedge on every proposition. Mark the expression, ‘he had the name of,” which, of course, is intended to leave an opening for correctfon in a later and revised edition of the writer's poems, In case old man Brown should turn out to be a false claimant. But, this point having been covered, the Winnipeg poet composes with more freedom: TRRTIR e hacae be' gone— He left world the recipe For brewing lager beer! In other words, he is gone, but we shall not miss him, since his great secret is known. “Say,” asks the poet— Bay, shall we all shell out to build onument to him; A flass y ith foam upon the bri “No," he replies— No need: he's left his monument On_bulldings by the score: You'll see it on the bright tin sign That hangs beside the door.

The police broke up the gathering, and then the students rushed towards the Aus- trian embassy end the Austrian consulal where they were received by troops, who charged upon them with drawn bayonets. Btruggles between the students and the troops ensued, and several arrests were made, while the crowd continued to cry, “Down with Francis Joseph! Let us break up the triple alllance!" and to sing the Garibaldian hymn. There was great enthusiasm In the law courts today when a student, who was arrested yesterday for hating struck a policeman and smashed his helmet, was acquitted. There were similar demonstrations today in the princlpal towns of Italy, eéspecially In Florence and in Turin, where the uni- versity has been closed. During the dem- ofstration In Florence two Austrian flags ‘were burned in the public square, amid a scene of great enthusiasm and the frantic cries of the demonstrators. WILL INCREASE CONSULATES e at Present in ‘Ameriea, BERLIN, Nov. 2.—The foreign budget provides for the establishment of German consulates at New Orleans, At- lanta, Ga., Seattle, Wash., and St. Paul, Minn. The increasing importance of the consulates in South American countries is indlcated In the applications for a minister resident at La Paz, Bollvia, and a secre- tary of legation at Santiago de Chile. The budget of the ministry of the interior asks for $1,20,000 to provide state-owned homes for civil employes, $20,00 more than in 1902 The Berlin Landlords' asso- clation recently appealed to the govern- ment not to bulld any more homes for cvil employes, because 9,000 flats in Beriin are without tenants. The protest was not heéded, the government's position being that it 1s cheaper to provide houses free of rent than to {ncrease salaries suficlently to meet the prices of the combination of Berlin landlords, which amounts nearly to e trust.

ONE OF VICTIMS IS SHOT IN THE NECK Three Men in Seéond Party Tuekled and All Are Severely Beaten by the Robbers—~Police Make Two Arrests. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. %.—(Special Telegram.)— H. J. Deyo, & Burlington engineer, was shot In the neck and palnfully injured, and Bdward Curtis was badly beaten by foot- pads in two separate holdups tonight. Both occurred shortly after 1 o'clock in the neigh- borhood of Sixteenth and 8 streets, withina block of the home of Deyo. Deyo was returning home when two men stepped in front of him and demanded his money. He grabbed at the nearest one of the men and the latter then fired, the ball passing through Deyo's neck, making an ugly though not dangerous wound. The two men then jumped on the injured man and took the money from his pockets, and both ran. Deyo managed to get home and weported to the police. A few minutes later James Fairweather, Frank Willams and Edward Curtls were passing in the same nelghborhood, with Curlis several yards in the lead. Suddenly two men jumped from a shadow, and as they demanded money one of them struck Curtis a blow on the head with his revolver. Fairweather and Willlams came to the assistance of Curtls and a desperate struggle ensued, In which the three men were all injured. The robbers in running left n -calfbre revolver, American make, and a black Fedora hat. They secured §2 from Curtis and a knife from each of the others. The police have arrested two men, rosidents of Lincoln, who answer the de- scription of the robbers.

F. Holmes, president of the Commercial club, efforts were begun to bring about a conference between the of- ficlals of the Utah Fuel company and the striking miners in Carbon county. Kelliher and Holmes come as the personal representatives of John Mitchell and in thelr talk with the governor brought a new tain that recognition of the union is a sub- ordinate issue and that 20 per cent increise in wages Is the principal lssue at stake, They declared that the Utah miners are striking because of grievances of their own, and_that they will go back to work when these are redressed, regardiess of what the Colorado miners do. Thelr statements were at radical varl- ance with those-of the Utah Fuel company, In a telegram to the Commercial club President Mitchell declares his willingness to meet representatives of the fuel company and arrange an amicable settlement.” To clear the eituation and arrive at the facts in the matter Governor Wells tonight sent a telegram to President Craker of the fuel company, asking him to come for & conference with a delegation of miners.

DIE BY FIRE IN HOTEL Fatal Results Follows Drinking Bout on Thanksgiving Eve in P nota, e DULUTH, Minn,, Nov. #88.—Thomas Green was cremated, Frank Thomas was probably fatally burned and three others whose names have not been ascertained are miss- ing as the result of a fire which destroyed the Central hotel at Tower yesterday morning. The suspicion is entertained that the fire was of Incendlary origin and that the hotel was fired to cover up the crime of murder. Thauksgiving eve there were twenty-five or thirty guests in the house and there is sald to have been more or less drinking. About 4 o'clock one of the men was awakened by the smell of smoke and on opening tha door found the place on fire. He gave the alarm and the guests got out of the house as best they could.

It 1s not only intensely painful, dangerous to life and very expemsive, but in the light of modern medical research, and since the dissovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, wholly unneccessary. If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the following letter from one who knows that the claims re- garding the merits of the Pyramid Plle Cure are borne out by facts. “For a long time I suffered with blind plles. They gave me 80 much pain and un- easiness that they almost disqualified me tor doing anything. I saw an ad in the Atlanta Journal of Pyramid Pile Cure and ordered a 5 cent box.
