IS NOT REGARDED SERIOUS HERE St. Paul Billings Connections Are Made Clos to Schedule—Mohler in Conference with Com- missioner N In the face of a serious blockade in the movement of freight throughout the north- west there seems to be no trouble of any moment among the switchmen employed in Omaha. The strike of the switchmen in 8t. Paul and Minnespolls has narrowed itself down to a fight made by the Switch- men's Union of North America and does | not Involve the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen to which the local switch throw- belong. “There are very few members of the switchmen's union In Omahe,” said A. J. Donahue, assistant yardmaster of the Mis- sour! Pacific raliroad. ‘“There 1s such a small number represented here that in onwe they should all go out there would be no apparent effect as most of the local switchmen belong to the Brotherhood of Unlon of North Amer- ica and the Brotherhood of Raflway Train- men are two distinct Organizations; they are not affiliated in any way and do not work in concord. The strike of the switoh- men need not necessarily involve the train- men even though they are engaged in the same line of work." In the local yurds the Omaha road is pethaps most affected by the strike of the switchmen in St. Paul and Minneapolis. This road has positively refused anything but “dead frelght” for the northern points, drawing the line on perishable goods that would sufter by delay in traffic. The Rock 1sland is the only road running into Omaha that has a contract with the Switchmen's All Who Would Enjoy good health, with ite blessings, must wn- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies, With proper knowledge of wha$ s bess, each hour of recveation, of enjoy- ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright: Then the use of medicines may be dis- simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu- able if taken at the proper time and the Oulifornia Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is slike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the cne perfect laxative to thoss desiring it. Consequently, the Company’s Syrup of Pigs and Elixir of Benna gives general satisfaction. To get ite bemeficial effocte buy ' o genuine, mantufectured by the Culifornia Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by oll leading druggista. road has no direot com muhication with the center of trouble. Rallroad managers in Omaha do not re- gard the strike as serfous as was first reported. Chicago and northwestern pas- senger trains from St. Paul during the day were running close to schedule time and made connection in Omaha with trains for Kansas City and the west. Burlington tratms westbound have had no trouble through Blllings, Mont., where most of the switchmen are out because the trains are through trains and require no switch- ing. Other roads running into St. Paul and Omaha have found it advisable to unload cargoes at points outside the city limits, where wagons have been kept in waiting. This means an additnonal charge for hauling but does not Interfere with de- ‘ivery of goods to any conslderable extent. A. L. Mohler of Omaha, vice president of the Unlon Pacific rallroad, who is a mem- ber of the advisory committee of the west- ern rallroad managers, 18 expécted to raach his office Saturday. He has at- tended the conferences at St. Paul with Commissioner of Labor Nelll and Charles P. Knapp of the Interstate Commerce com- misslon. Charles Bogue, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen for the Unlon Pacitic rallroad, who has been in Omaha since the strike was declared in St. Paul, has gone to North Platte. A. L. Konold, member of the executive commit- tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, representing the men employed by the Union Pacific rallroad, has gone to Laramie, Wyo. | This is an indleation that affairs in Omaha are quiet so far as the striky trouble 18 eoncerned. MAN PLEADS GUILTY AND YET COURT DISCHARGES HIM Admits Taking Another M ing, t His Wife Says Quiekly Returned Them. Discharged/after pleading gullty was the unique experience of George Henderson, colored, in police court Friday. Henderson, in making his plea, admitted he had taken some clothing belonging to & man named Slaughter, but sald he was Intoxicated at the time. His wife testified that she im- mediately, upon learning that Henderson had taken Slaughter's clothing, returned sald Mrs. Henderson, “Slaughter agreed not to prosecute Hender- son it I pald him twenty gold American dollars.” This Slaughter vigorously denied. Under the ciropmstances, while the court held Henderson to be technically gullty of larceny, the judge believed he was war- ranted in dismissing the case and discharg- ing the defendant, Diamonds—FRENZER~I5th and Dodge.

Pull for Corn Show Next Year Appeal is Made to Omaha People to Secure National Exposi- tion for 1910, Letters of final announcement of the Natfonal Corn exposition have been sent out td the 400 subscribers to the exposi- tion fund. These letters are a final appeal to the Omaha people to arouse their in- terest. Attention to the prospects for an- other year s called by the following para- grap “As a stockholder you should satisty yourself by frequent visits that the Corn show is a suceess and determine to what extent it ls worthy of your support for an- other year. The holding of the Natlonal Corn exposition fn Omaha in 1910 will de- pend upon voluntary subscriptions and not upon the urgent solicitation of a finance committee.” The subscribers are urged to boost thelir best for the Corn show to secure a satis- tactory sttendance from the people of Omaha. “NICKEL-IN-THE-SLOT” SHOE SHINE IS HERE Local Cigarist Exhibits Novelty in Bootblack. It simply had to come. Now even the poor bootblack is threatened with ex- tinction. The electrical age has ushered in elec- tric halr curlers and flat irons; telephones and bake ovens; alarm clocks, motor cars and what not, but now we have the nickel-in-the-slot electrical bootblack. And it's not & joke either, but an auto- matic contrivance that oné sticks one's shoe covered foot into while pressing a button, and—Presto! a moment or two later you have &s fine & “shine” as was ever administered in the shqps. Every part of the shoe is first effec- tively cleaned by brushes; then the auto- matic blackening dauber gets in its work; finally the electrical polisher puts on the Bloss. Yes, work. The first two in Omaha have been in- stalled at The Central Cigar Store at 5il Bouth 16th St., where the busy buaz of the | motors invariably stop crowds of onlook- |ers when the “nickel has been dropped.” ESTABROOK IN JOSLYN CASE Western Unlon Lawyer, Former Oma- han, Probably Will Be a Witness, it's praotical and really does the Henry D.

Mr. Estabrook was the attorney of record for Joslyn in the sult tried in 1973, which the other side asserts was & trumped up “friendly” litigation between Sutphen and Josiyn. Mr, Estabrook appeared for Josiyn at least, and W. O. Glibert for the piaintffs In the present litigation, asserts he represented Sutphen, too. J.

J. Counts, Whom He Robs. After & holdup and robbery at Eleventh and Marey streets early this morning a negro highwayman turned and fired a bullet into his vietim and fled, leaviog no clue as to his whereabouts. As a result of the shooting R. J. Counts of 211 Fifth avenue, Ccuncil Bluffs, is in St. Joseph's hospital suffering from a se- rious wound in the lungs and liver. Physi- clans say he may recover. Counts is night telegraph operator em- ployed by the Unlon Pacitic railroad. Shortly after 8 & m. he was returning from his lunch when & burly negro stepped out from the shadow of a bullding and commanded Counts to hold up his hands. The operator was then compelled at the point of & revolver to surrender his valua. bles, which amounted to $6 in eurrency. After securing the money Counts was warned not to ery for help. He did so, however, and the cowardly negro, without warning, pulled the trigger and fired s shot point blank through | Counts’ lungs. The wounded man sought assistance and was taken 10 the hospifal Drs. Updegraff and Harrls were sum- moned and successfully extracted the bul- let from Counts’ body. Unless complica- tions set In, they say, the injured man will recover. i No trace has heen secured of his as- sallant. Jewelry—FRENZER-1th and Dodge. CORN SHOW TICKETS GO FAST BECAUSE OF MEXICAN BAND Attendance from Omaha Alone Saf- ficlent to Make Exposition Sue- eenstul, is Prediction, From all indications at the offices where corn show tickets are on sale Omaha peo- Plé are going to attend the exposition this year in & number which alone would in- point. 3 Books of tickets, good for fifteen ad missions, have been on :ale almost one month. Hundreds of ihem have been sold, as it makes the ndmisslon to the exposition just 33% cents Instead of 50 cents. These books will be taken off sale Sat- urday evening, however, and only two more days remaln in which to secure them. The department stores bought Thursday—one store taking fifty books at §5 each. “More than 30,000 Omaha people will see the show,” says Will A. Campbell who 1s advertising the exposition. “This year one visit will not satisty an Oma, han, as there s s6 much mure to interest people living n the city. The Mexican band filled the balconles in Chicago with society people. It is worth the price of admisalon to hear tho the ‘Song of the Dove and as there are more than elghty pleces which the band presents the programs will be variéd. Thus Omaha people who expect to hear this famous military band will wish to go more than once, and the fifteen-ticket books which well for skin and fur caps with ear tabs, $1.50 values at 98¢ chinchilla, bear- Detroit at Men s Near children's winter 25¢ and 49¢ M.n .

Guerin, 309 South Twenty- was run down and seriously injured by o team driven by Mrs. N. H. Loomls, 28 Jackson street, at Sixteenth and Douglas streeets during the blinding snow storm Friday morning. Mrs. Guerin was carried to the office of Dr. P. T. Conlan in the Brown block by James Lind- say. She was removed from there to St Joseph hospital. Mre. Guerin says that she did not sce the approaching team until she was struck. Mrs. Loomis was driving at an ordinary rate of speed and probably only the slip- pery pavements and the heavy snow are to be blamed for the aceldent. Mrs. Guerin suffered deep scalp wounds and injuries to her left side and elbow Dr. Conlan does not expeet serious conse- quences beyond thé apparent injuries. Mrs, Guerin suffered considerably from the loss of blood. ROYAL ACHATES’ RECEPTION Supreme Officers In Receiving Line at Bvent Celebrating Enlarges ment of Headquarters. Mfs. P.

Gus Linden, Quarryman, Belonged to Secret Seeleties There—Cor- oner Investigates. Gus R. Linden, the former Loulsvills quarry employe who dled at St. Joseph's hospital Wednesday night less than (wo hours after he had been taken there by a stranger who saw Linden acting queerly on a street car, came from Chicago, at least he resided at 120 Oak street in that city prior to May 30 last. It has been as- certained Linden was & member of the In- ternational Assoclation of Machinists and that he was also & Maccabee, 8 member of Northern High fent No. 215 of Chicago. Hfs beneficlary Is named as Frans Alfred Linden, his father. From effects found in Linden's pockets it s learned that on May 28 last he pawned a sultcase and overcoat for $2.20. Later he received treatment for & brulsed thumb by Dr. Bimonek of Creighton Medical college. | It was at first belleved Linden had taken polson with sulcidal intent, but Dr. Simo- nek gave it as his opinion such was not the case. Coroner Heafey Is still investi- gating and pending something more defi- nite has not decided when the Inquest will be held. An effort 1s now being made to communi- cate with some of Linden's relatives, and | ana marrtea it they are In Chicago, as presumed, they will Be reached.

H bach, respectively the widow, daughter & son of the late John A, Horbach. The liti: gation is a cross-claim on the part of the Horbachs, Some time ago they filed sults against Bullivan, who managed the estate of John A. Horbach for several years fol- lowing Horbach's. death. Then Sullivan filed an independent suit against these three, who are thus the original plaintiffs in the litigation.

The charges | differ in number, though not in kind, from those preferred in former sults. The sum of $23,371 Is asked on the first nine causes of the total of eleven. On the tenth $50,000 s asked for general injury to the property, which, they say, Bullivan grossly neglected and Irretirevably injured.
