THE MAYORS CHOICE.
Joe Redman Mr.. Broatch's Favorite
For the Board of Public Works.

A rumor has been in circulation for sew
eral days past TO the effect that Louis
Heimrod, OF the board of public works had
rendered his resignation as a member of that
body to the mayor. The rumor was, it is
claimed, started by parties interested in
favor of a possible successor to Mr.. Heimrod
and started soon after the appearance in
these columns of an article showing that
'Joe" Redman vas n candidate for a position
on the board.
Mr.. Heimrod yesterday denied to a BEE
reporter that he had rendered or contem-
plated rendering his resignation. His term
he said expired OH the first Monday in June
aud he DID not think he would again be
a member OF the board. The mayor
had told him that he was under obligation to
Joe" Redman and would appoint him a
member of the board. Redman, however,
would have to be confirmed by the council,
aud in the event of his failing of contirma-
ton he (the mayor would nominate Mr..
Heimrod The stand taken by that gentle
man has been such as TO commend him to the
taxpayers of the community, while it has not
in all cases given satisfaction to the schem-
ing contractors who have had jobs before the
board.

Do you have to hawk and cough frequently in
the effort to clear your throat?
Are you losing your sense of smell and Is your
sense of taste becoming dulledl.
Does your nose always feel stopped up, fore
ing you to breathe through your mouth
Does every little draft Of air and every slight
change of temperature give you q cold?
and spit out an endless quantity of phlegm2
Are you always tired and indisposed to eXer-
ton, whether OF business, work or amusementI

Do You occasionally wake from a troubled

Have you lost all interest in your calling or

Are you troubled with a discharge from the

The above are some OF the many symptoms of
catarrh and the beginning OF lung troubles. Not
one case in a hundred will have all Of them, but
every one affected will have u few or many of
them. The greater or more serious yonr symp-
toms, the more dangerous your condition. This
class of disease is treated very successfully by
DIR. Mccoy or his associates. The many cases re-
ported through the columns of the daily papers
proves this, and each statement published is sub
stantially the same as given by the patient cured.
DIR, Mccoy and mis- associates use no secret nos
trums, but cure disease by their skillrul combi-
nation of the best known remedies, applied in
the most approved manner, and by using the
latest and most highly recommended appliances
known TO the profession. They thus produCere-
suits that speak for themselves in the many pa
tients cured, and Measure our readers that
these eminent physicians have achieved a sue
cess IN curing disease which few or no other doc
tors can duplicate.

DIR" REEVES IN BUTTE.
The Omaha Bee Compels the Hypocrite
to Fly to the Mountains.


THE BEE a few days ago published another
expose Of the methods and trickery of the
quack DR." Powell Reeves and the schemes
resorted to by the adventures in this city
who are working under his rotten and de-
ceitful name. In that article it was stated
that Reeves was in Salt Lake where he was
pursuing, among the Mormons, the course of
charlatanism and quackery which caused him
to be exposed in this city. The BEE, however,
was slightly in error. The quack, at the
time the error appeared, was not in Salt
Lake. though he was there when the infor-
nation was furnished THE BEE. But this
paper drove him out of Omaha, it drove him
out of Denver, and he renamed in Salt Lake
only long enough to pack his dirty linen and
greasy carcass off, after the same exposure
followed him to the city Of the saints. The
morality of that sin-accursed place even was
too exalted for his deviltry, and
early impelled him to go elsewhere.
now about stalking his tent pins, and where,
when The BEE reaches some of the hardy
miners of that part of the country,
it will go hard with him if
he does not expiate his deyiltry
at the end of a rope. The oily fraud worked
Lake, in that, while he was unable to catch
many suckers, he succeeded IN beating" his
board and all the papers for their advertls-
ing, one of the latter victims being the Rocky
Mountain News, which is outS212.19 The BEE
yesterday received a letter from one of the
Butte editors asking for the facts rnIng
Reeves career. They have been furnished
him and before long will be fired off at him at
close range The country is now pretty well
closed against this arrant imposter and the
public need not be surprised if he meet, be-
fore long, the punishment he SO richly merits.

Railroad men are discussing the probable

serted that such action will be taken. John
M. Forbes, who is a chief stockn0!der in the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and who ace
held a considerable amount of stock in the
other road, and has given away his stock in
the latter in order TO complete a deal. AS a
matter of fact the Chicago, Burlington e

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, in fact the
one Is the other, and vice versa. But how
the deal is to be consummated without some
one trading with himself Is a mystery TO the
outside party.
PROSPECTS, FOR A rIaHT.
II is reported on good authority that the
management of the Kansas City, St. Joseph
& Council Bluffs road have perfected an ar
rangement with the Union Pacific whereby
the trains OF the former road are TO be run
into Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge
with the assistance of a Union Pacific pilot.
The Union Pacific switchmen are preparing
10 antagonize this movements and IL is thought
that should the aranosed action take place on
June | 1t is understood that q strike will
onsue Immediately.
The permitting trains from the Kansas
City road to run over the bridge would do
away with all changes OF cars at Pacific
Junction for passengers from Kansas City
and intermediate points.
PURE FAKE.
Without any authority for so doing the Re-
publican a few days ago announced that on
and after June l the Union Pacific's sub
urban trains would make half hourly trips
between Council Bluffs and South Omaha.
At the Office of the general superintendent
the statement was made that no such action
would be taken as the number of passengers
at present did not Warrant such
action. In the future it Is possible that
trains will run each half hour, and should
Omaha advance as rapidly as during the past
five years trains will doubtless run each If
teen minutes. But at present the change
will not occur.
The trans-contincntal association, which
recently held q session in San Francisco, ad-
iourned to meet in st. Paul June Is.
Al effort is being made to hold a meeting
of the Colorado and Utah passenger ~associa-
tions at Kansas City june IL.
The regular meeting of the Kansas and
Nebraska passenger associations will be held

The west excursion of the b. & M. from
