H0CT0R REFUSES. THE PLACE
Announces that He VIII Not Accept
Position in County Auditing
Department..

Thomas Hector gave it out cold and nat
In South Omaha yesterday that he will not
serve as deputy in the county auditing
office, for which place he was named a
month ago when the deputy county clerk
ship was given to A. ]. Webb, then serving
in the place to which Hector was APP
pointed. Hector said that he had never
worked under a boss and doesn't propose
to commence now"
A year ago he retired from the office Of
county commissioner with the consent Of
a majority of the democrats OF his terri
tory, and thereafter remained in the con-
struction contracting business and in in
nocuous desuetude until the death of
County Clerk Miller, when he promptly
bodied up as a candidate for Miller's office.
He lost to John C. Drexel, but upon the
latter there was imposed the condition
that Hector be made deputy clerk. When
It came to a Showdown" this was aban-
doned and Hector sidetracked into the
auditors office. This he appeared to &C
cept, but now turns down.

NORTHERN MILLIONAIRE HERE
Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis spends
Few Hours i'm Omaha on
Way West.

Thomas Lowry, the Minneapolis capitalist,
president Of the 500 railroad and also presl-
dent Of the Twin City Rapid Transit com
pany, which embraces all the street car
lines in Minneapolis, st. Paul. White Bear,
saltwater and the other suburban lines in
that vicinity, was in Omaha several hours
yesterday with Mrs. Lowry on their way to
Colorado Springs for a holiday visit and TO
become acquainted with a new granddaugh-
ter whom Mr.. Lowry says is his Christmas
present.
Mr.. Lowry Is making extensive improve
ments on both his railroad and street car
lines. He has already ordered $1,000, OOO
worth Of new equipment for the 500 road,
all of which will be placed In use during
the coming year.
The natural increase in the volume OF
our traffic, both passenger and freight, has
made 1t necessary for us to increase our
equipment said Mr.. Lowry. THE 500
road has enjoyed one Of the most prosper
Gus periods Of IT'S history in the year Just
closing. We have done considerable build
ing and have materially added to our equip
ment, but the next year will show more ex-
tensive improvements"
Mr.. Lowry denied the rumors that he had
been intending to project his line up into
Canada. He said he had all the territory
he wanted in the United States and would
conhne himself to this domain for a while
at least. He also said that he was not in
terested in any railroad building in Colo
RADIO.
Mr.. Lowry spoke with zeal OF the vast
Improvements being made in the Twin
City Rapid Tran3it company.
1--WE are building a central power plant
in MiUnpQnOlia that will furnish nntvov for
our entire street car system and for some
other things, too, IL it. is required" SAID
Mr.. Lowry. 1--WE have been operating our
cars with several plants in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, but when this central plant
is completed all these plants will to
abandoned and the motive power will all
come from this one establishment. We will
expend 50, 500, 900 in the establishment Of
this plant. The foundation alone, on which
we are now working. will cost 500, 900. The
plant will start with $1,000 horsepower
and will be enlarged as occasion demands.
We expect to have 1t in operation some time
in 1904"
Mr.. Lowry was a republican candidate
for United States senator to succeed the
late Cushman X. Davis in the legislature
Of 1900, when Moses E. Clapp Of st. Paul
was elected. When asked IL he expected
to become a candidate for the same office
again, the jolly Scotchman merely smiled
and said;
There will be another contest two years
hence"
Senator Clapp was elected to fill ont the
four years of the unexpired term of sem
ator Davis.
Mr.. Lowry made a call on the editor Of
The Bee while in the city. He and Mrs.
Lowry proceeded west in their private car
over the Union Pacific.

WRECK ON THE UNION PACIFIC
but No Lives Are
Lost.

we Union Pacific freight trains, Nos. II
and 26. collided near Rogers at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Reports OF the wreck are
imperfect, but 1t is said that both engines
are badly demolished and that there were
some serious casualties. This report comes
through sources outside Of the Union Pa
cihc general Offices. At headquarters the
statement is made that the wreck was a
very incOnsequential affair. that the en-
gines we're somewhat damaged, but not de-
molished, and that while two or three per-
sons suffered slight injuries there we're no
serious casualties. The statement also was
made that no live stock was on either train.
The cause of the head-on collision is sup
posed to be disclosed in the statement of
the engineer on train No. IL, who says he
could not see the fagman for the steam Of
his engine. 1t is said that neither train
was running at a full speed. AS soon as
reports OF the wreck reached headquarters
two company physicians were sent TO the
scene of the accident.

JACKSoNIANS WANT ORATORS
AnxIOusIy Awaiting Replies to Invita-
tiOns Sent to COIer and

The committee which has in charge the
matter of providing speakers for the annual
banquet Of the Jacksonian club, to be held
Thursday, January s, is anxiously awaiting

Quet. but so far has not produced his man.

vited to be present.
Among the persons who will be present
are w. H. Thompson OF Grand Island and

represented the state OF Washington in con-
gress, W. J. Bryan has given a provisional

MAKES LOCAL COLOR YELLOW
Morning Paper GarbIes TeIegraphic
Report 10 Annoyance of
j. c. Root.

By transplanting the date line of a dis
patch from Fort Smith, Ark, and garbling
its contents, a local yellow journal has
made ]. c. Root of this city, the sovereign
commander of the Woodmen OF the World,
the leading figure in a court scene at Ell
Paso, Tex, in which he had no part what
ever, being safely here in Omaha, hundreds
Of miles away. The dispatch purported to
be an account sent to a St. Louis paper OF
an outbreak by Miss Alice F~rizzel, plaintiff
in a Islander suit against A.. c. Root, inter-
rupting the trial by firing a revolver and
driving the defendant out Of the court room.
The Fort Smith Root has no relationship to
]. c. Root of this city, and the only local
feature of the case arises from the fact that
Miss Frizzel was plaintiff in a spectacular
damage suit against the Omaha Street Rail-
way company recently. The distortion OF
the report has naturally caused some an
noyance TO Mr.. Root as a case in which the
zeal Of an imaginative reporter has over
shot his discretion.

IMPOSES ON OMAHA CHARITY
Yutnn Citizen Sends Sick Relative
Here for Free Hospital
Treatment,

Mary Jordan, who claims that she is a
resident of Yutan, Neb., was taken to police
headquarters from the Union depot Monday
evening, just after she had arrived in the
city to receive treatment at a hospital. She
claimed that a relative placed her on board
the train, telling her that she could re-
ceive free treatment here. She is under
the matron's care at the Jail and appears TO
be slightly demented. Surgeon Mick is in
consultation with the County hospital au-
thorities and the patient may be taken
there, though she is not a resident Of Doug
las county. The authorities claim that they
have had several such cases recently from
up the state, where people are sent to
Omaha with the understanding that they
will receive free treatment at the hospitals.

MEN ANXIOUS BUT FIRM
Strikers Out on System Are still De-
termined, says Vice Presi-
dent Mulberry.

Third Vice President Mulberry Of the In
ternational Association Of Machinists, who
has been an active leader in the Union Pa
cihc strike, returned to Omaha yesterday

layed on account Of the snow blockade. He

by nine huge engines, did some effective
work. but was stalled in the deepest of the
blockade. Mr.. Mulberry will proceed to
Chicago. He says there is great anxiety
over the system over the prospects OF a set
Element, but that II the negotiations fail
the men will be more determined than ever
and will not flag in their Tight.
No further news has come from Presi-
dent Burt. and, therefore, no developments
have taken place. Mr.. Burt Is not ex-
pected home until Friday.

A New Preparation which Everyone

A New Preparation Wnlch everyone
VIII Need Sooner Or Later.
Almost everybody's digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for It is to take some one OF
the many so-called blood purifiers, which In
many cases are merely strong catharties.
Such things are not needed. II the organs
are In a elogged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right themselves.
Cathartics lrritate the sensitive Innings of
the stomach and bowels and often do more
harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condition
TO be readily dlgested and assimilated.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly
They partly digest what is eaten and give
the stomach just the help IL needs. They
stimulate the secretion and excretion OF the
digestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition OF the glands and membranes
They put the whole digestive system In con-
dition to do its work. When that is done
you need take no more tablets, unless you
eat what does not agree with you, Then
take one or two tablets-give them needed
help and you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and a com
mon sense treatment and IL will cure every
time. Not only cure the disease but cure
the cause. Goes about it in a perfectly
sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials enough 10 NIL a
book, but we don't publish many Of them

BELLOWS "M0THER" is A MAN
Lawyer Ascertains that Federal Pris-
oner Has Been Pooling
Him.

After a comparison Of notes between
Attorney Mcfarland, Judge Munger and
others about the federal building, a con-
clusion was reached that the person who
passed as the mother Of Walter Biglow,
the youth convicted Of robbing the post
ONCE at Wood River, Neb.. was not only
not the lads mother, but was not even a
woman.
Biglow is a boy about % years old, and
was only one Of three implicated In the
postofice robbery. It is believed that Big
low played the smallest part in the affair
and that he was a tool in the hands OF
professional burglars. The other two men
we're never apprehended and Biglow, up to
date, is the only one to be punished for
the crime.
After Biglow was arrested and up to a
few days before his trial he appeared to be
entirely friendless, and his only visitor was
the jailer. Their a person dressed in
romans clothes appeared on the scene and
applied to Assistant United States Attorney
Rush for permission to visit Biglow, stat
ing that she was the boys mother.
The alleged mother was referred TO
United States Attorney Summers, who re-
ferred her TO Judge Munger, who granted
her permission to visit the prisoner. This
she did and then she called upon ]. NJ. Mo
Farland end engaged him as attorney TO
defend Biglow. She limited that the boy
came of good family and that she wished
to work as much In secret as possible.
After the boy was convicted she dlsap-
peared. 1t is thought that the person was
one of the men guilty with Biglow of the
robbery and that he appeared on the scene
to look after his own interests and avoid
being implicated.
Judge Munger yesterday afternoon SEN
fenced Biglow to three years Imprisonment
at Sioux Falls.
