RECEIVERS HOLD TWO SESSIONS.
Nothing Done with Exposition or
DcDOt Projects.


President S. II. II. Clark arrived from
st. Louis at an early hour yesterday. Al
IL o'clock there was another meeting of the
receivers in the Union Pacific headquarters.
1t was the first meeting held in this city for
long time, at which all five receivers have
been present Before the meeting one of the
receivers stated to a Bee reporter that a
union depot for Omaha and subscription to
the Transmississlppi Exposition were under
consideration by the receivers
Receiver Oliver w. Mink stated at the
conclusion of the morning meeting that only
routine matters were considered. He said
the receivers had found 1t impossible to
reach either the depot or the exposition
subscription matters.
The receivers will leave for Salt Lake
City on Thursday. There they will witness
the last acts segregating the Oregon Short
Line and the Utah Northern from Ehe
gradually diminishing Union Pacific system.
Mr.. Mink said that a company had been
formed to purchase the Short Line at the
foreclosure sale. He could not tell the name
of It, 1t is thought that the line would be
operated by a management friendly to the
Union Pacific.
The afternoon session OF the receivers was
a lengthy one. Asked the nature of the busi-
ness transacted, Receiver Oliver w. Mink
replied:
There was absolutely nothing OF public
interest Only routine matters such as are
generally considered at receivers meetings,
were taken up"
WAS the matter of subscription to the
Transmississippi Exposition considered?"

Mrs. ]. N. Miller, who conducts the Fiji
teenth street mission, reports the discov-
cry OF family named Miller, living on
Twelfth street and Eleventh avenue, which
Is in a pitiable state of restitution. When
her attention was called to them and a visit
made the woman was found in her bed with
a babe four days old. The bed was a mis-
cradle excuse and consisted of a few rags
and a bunch of straw. The woman had re-
ceived no medical attention and was in
a sad plight. There was no fire in the
house and no food. There were two other
children, one 3 years old and the other 81
months. The husband was found sitting
in a corner of the cheerless room stupidity
staring at the floor and the women believed
that he was in the depths of despair The
one pile of rags was the only bed the house
afforded for all the members of the family.
The husband claimed to be utterly unable
to find employment. The last work he did
was to saw little wood and take his pay
in wood. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. j. l.. Ketchum
at once went to soliciting for aid for the
destitute family and soon succeeded in Sc
curing a bed and some fuel and made the
mother and her little ones comparatively
comfortable Clothing was also secured.
The case was reported to the county au-

snIoons Quit business.

The city officials are looking with some
interest into the condition OF the saloons,
and considering with some anxiety the re-
ports that a number of them are going to
quit business The reports Of the city treas
urer show that four years ago the receipts
from saloon licenses and police court fines
Appropriated over $4,000 month. For the
past year this has been reduced by more
than one-half AS this is the chief source
OF the city's ready cash. any further lose
would be looked upon a calamity. The
saloons listed by the city marshal on January
numbered forty-three. 1t cannot be known
definitely for several days what proportion
OF this number will continue in business for
the reason that the city has been somewhat
leniont with them in the matter of collecting
fines and has given the owners of the saloons
several days of grace. Up to last evening
only one OF the number had expressed his
determination to close out. That was Will
liam Rodgers, on Upper Broadway.
Last year was very Improbable one 10
saloon men, and during the year nearly
score OF them quit business The outlook for
the present year Is not very encouraging, and
the probability is great that the number will
be still further reduced.

AN AWFUL SORE
A Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
SleepIess Nights.
CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.

herewith write out in full the beginning
and end of that terrible disease, Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering, and
myself many sleepless nights.
My baby was born seemingly n fair, healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old
swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
aboil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning of the trouble.
1t did not heal but grew worse and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that of a dol
lar. fused all kinds of remedies that could
think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
it grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came on a
visit, and when he saw the baby he told me
"to get CUTIcURA SOAP and CUT.oURA ONT
ment right away" To please him did SO,
and to my surprise. 10y their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over IL, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to
recall that awful sore.
