About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that in
fict more torture than rheuma-
tism, and there is propabIy no
disease for which such a varied
and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it
can be cured is, therefore, a bold
statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment Of
this disease. One application of
Pain Balm will relieve the pain,
and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by
it's use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but a trife? For sale

LeadviIIe sheriff Here on His Way
Home with Pair of Suspected
Murderers.

Sheriff T. II. Horrigan of Leadville, Colo
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon
with two prisoners, Dan Radakooit and
Mrs. Teka Bogdonori, two Italian fugi-
tives who are suspected of the murder of
a saloon keeper in the Colorado city some
weeks ago. The pair were captured at
Leavenworth, Kan, several days ago and
held for the Leadville sheriff.
The saloon keeper was found murdered
in his place of business one morning and
Immediately the husband of the woman
and Radakooit left the place. When cap
tured In Leavenworth the man had sew
eral checks on his person which 1t is
thought were taken from the drawer of
the safe when the murder was committed.
When the murdered man was found It was
seen that the place had been robbed and

RAILWAY FAILURES ARE FEW
Thus Far Only Five Small Ones De-
fault in Their Interest
Obligations.

Thus far in the prosperous year 1905 only
fve small railway companies, aggregating
go miles of lines, have defaulted in their
interest obligations and been placed in the
hands of receivers, ana none of them can
attribute their insolvency to the existing
business conditions. The roads are ali
small ones and narrow gauge. The Rail-
way Age says:
This is a showing even better than that
for the corresponding six months of 1904,
when six roads, with 302 miles of lines and
l0,5l4OO0 of bonds and stock, went into re-
20 miles and 81 $1,000 of capital this year.
The first half Of the years 1898, 1902 and
lSOl were Stlll more notable for the small
plumber Of railway insolyencies, and in
1900 have been period in which receiver
ships were few and comparatively unims
portant. There has been no great railway
failure since that year, ana there seems
70 be no reason to fear such an occurrence
during the remainder of 1906.
1t Is enco lraging to report, in this con-
nection, that Of the more than 1900 roads
In the United States, Independent, sub
sldiary and private, representing today
probably ga, 900 miles of line, only twenty
present in the hands Of receivers. These
are all small roads and most OF them have
remained in the charge OF the courts for
some years with the acquiescence OF their
owners.
Foreclosure sales also have almost ceased
for lack Of material. In the past six
months only three roads were thus forced
into reorganization; but the inclusion of
one important line in the number makes
ton Involved much larger than in the
! corresponding period Of the three proceed
ing years.

APPRAISERS TO MEET TODAY
Board Comes Together on water
works, 1t is Thought, for
Last Time.

The Board of Water Works Appraisers
is due in Omaha this morning for a ses-
sion which the members OF the Water
patton is held that the appraisers will
make a final report as to the value Of
the plant before leaving Omaha, but con-
servative members of the Water board
do not view affairs with so much assur-
ance. 1t is hinted however, that the board
is going to attempt a move or two toward
getting a report quick from the engi-
nearly two years. Certain Water board
members do not hesitate to express pro-
found disgust over the wearisome tactics
that have prevailed so far and they in
innate that the appraisers are going to
hear from them and very much to the
point.
A few weeks ago Attorney Wright wrote
to the appraisers urging them to come
out and view the rlp-rapping while the
Missouri was high so they might be bet
ter prepared to~estimate the value of this
work over which there is a wide differ
ence in opinion as to value. The river has
since gone down some. 1t has been said
all along, however, that the engineers
would hold another session in this city
before formulating the report.
The air is charged with a report that
something is about to drop" but whether
it is the final report or an ultimatum con-
corning the time by which the report must
be in, is not made plain.

ment. thousand and one articles are

one is guaranteed his moneys worth or
money refunded at the box office as cheer
fully as it was taken. There is such an
accumulation of stun this year that 1t Is
necessary to continue the sale to this
afternoon, when Auctioneer Sonnenberg will
mount the block again at o'clock.
A world of associations and stories clus-
ter around the articles being sold. Could,
tor instance, the hundreds of revolvers on
sale tell their individual little stories a
book could be written and then the half
would not have been told. In the varied
collection of shooting irons are some that
have been around the world; others that
have sent victims to an untimely death,
while others have figured in various ways
in the world of din and strife. Every
pocketInife manufacturer in the country
is represented at the sale in that at least
one specimen of his wares is in the collec-
ton of cutlery. Watches of all kinds are
to be had and some rare bargains I'm this
line were obtained yesterday afternoon
Not a few curio seekers were on hand for
such articles as hop outfits" used by
opium smokers.
AS a rule every bidder reaches for his
article or package with alacrity, hoping he
has made a "hnd." There was, however
an exception to this rule yesterday after
noon when a colored man ran the bidding
up to 81 on a package, but when the auc
tioneer brought his mailed fist down or

was no response from Mr.. Colored Man

Plans for a flower show this fall has
been given up. Manager Gillian of the Aud
itorium has had some correspondence on
the subject with those experienced with the
management OF flower shows and they say
that arrangements should be made six
months or year in advance. The local

least six months to grow the flowers which
they wish 10 place on exhibition.
Prospects are favorable for the organi-
Eation of an Omaha Flower Show associa-

take kindly to the idea Kansas City,
which is not as large a dollhouse center as
Omaha, has held a flower show for three
years with marked success and has had
exhibitors from all parts OF the union.
There is talk among the florists Of organic
ing themselves and other citizens into an
association for giving shows, starting with
one next fall. An EFFORT vii be made 10
