PRINTS ONLY CLEW
New York Police Have Battling Crime
TO Solve and Almost NO
Evidence.

NEW YORK. Dec. l2.-Wfth only the
bloody finger prints of the murderer to
assist them, the police today are securing
the city for some trace or the man who
committed what now appears TO be one of
the most battling crimes in the city's
criminal history. His victim, the young
woman whose body was found last night
in a padlocked and barricaded apartment
at 37 East Eleventh street, has not yet
been Identified and a thorough search of
the rooms has revealed nothing which will
aid the police in their task. Every dis
tinguishing mark had been removed from
the woman's clothing and pictures had
been cut from their frames and burned to-
gether with several pieces OF paper which
may have borne addresses. On every hand
there was to be found evidence OF the
crafty care used by the murderer to BATTLE
pursuit.
The discovery Of the crime came about
through the anxiety of the janitress of the
flat house to collect rent for the apart
ment, nearly W weeks overdue. The
man and woman who occupied the rooms
more than two months had paid promptly
up to the first of the present month. but
since that time the apartment had been
closed and the door locked with a paddock
on the outside and neither the mar nor
the woman had been seen. Last night the
1anitress decided to enter the apartment
to make sure the tenants had not removed
their trunks without her knowledge, and
the police were called to assist her in open
ing the door.
When an entrance was forced. the
woman's body, with the head almost
severed. was lying on the blood soaked bed.
The room was In confusion. Broken chairs
were scattered about and wearing apparel
which had been removed from an open
trunk was strewn about the room. Under
the woman's body lay a razor. its edge
hacked and broken. The condition OF the
body indicated that the woman had been
dead not less than two weeks, On the door
knob and on the sheets were the finger
prints Of the murderer.

RATES TO OMAHA EoUALIzED
Northwestern Gets Permission (,
Meet Competition from Free
mont 20 This Ctty.

FREMONT. Neb.. Dec. 12-(speciai.)-The
Fremont office OF the Northwestern will
be permitted to meet the rate of the
Union Pacific and Burlington on freight
shipments between this place and Omaha
Notice that the permission would be
granted in response to a recent request
sent 10 the Interstate Commerce commits
sion was received yesterday afternoon. The
reduction applies to first and second
class freight only.
For several months the Union Pacific
has had a lower rate for Omaha because
of the shortening OF the distance, due to
the Lane cutoff. The competing line ap-
piled for permission to make a similar
reduction. The Burlington also had a rate
equal to the Union Pacific.
The change on the Northwestern reduces
the first class freight rate from q cents
to 20 cents. The second class Is reduced
from % cents TO % cents.
The order permits the application OF the
reduced rate TO Council Bluffs and Mis-
souri, Valley after December q.

BIG DEMANDS ON TREASURY
lions Legislature VIII Have
TO Pare some.

-
PIERRE, s. D., Dec. 12.-(Special.)-The
last legislative session provided new build
ings for practically every one Of the state
institutions, and it was thought that there
would be but little demand for such i'm
provements in the way of increased build
ing room for the institutions from the COM
ing session, and the Capitol commission felt
the way was clear for them to ask the
necessary funds for the completion of that
work, with the fitting up Of the building
and the grounds. For that purpose, they
will ask for approximately S4O0, 900. This is
20 be secured by continuing the appropria-
ton of the last session for $500, 900, which
has not been drawn upon, by the issuance
OF 100000 Of capitol bonds, and
authority to use $1O0, 900 more from the sale
of capitol lands. The first $500, 900 can be
cared for in the future by the sale of lands,
and the only reason for asking for the APP
propriations at the present time is thai
most OF the lands yet left lie at so great
a distance from rail communication that
to attempt to sell them at the present time
would make a sacrifice of them. Up to the
present there has been realized from the
sale of lands $4O3, 707. 80, and Of this 1898. 1876
has been paid out, the balance of tie fund
being in mortgages and deferred payments.
But the state institutions are not intend
ing to let the matter of new buildings rest.
and the coming session will have to do some
pairing on the desires of the heads Of these
Institutions. They will come to the legisla-
ture asking for approximately $1,000, 900 for
that purpose The state university will ask
for $4,000 the Agricultural college wants
s1s5, 200, the Redfield Asylum for Feeble
Minded is willing TO get along with $4,000
and the rest of the institutions think that
from 100000 down would about fit out their
plans in a proper manner for the present.
The capitol Is under construction. and the
state departments nave entirely outgrown
the old ramshaokle building now used, and
the commission will insist that their claims
come first. and II the legislature ngrees
with them. the other Institutions will have
to wait for at least two years more before
they get anything very expensive in the
way of buildings.
The question of 2-cent passenger fare will
probably be pushed, as 1t Is a part OF the
platforms of both parties in this state at
the recent election. At present a suit is in
progress in the United States court to pre-
vent the putting into effect in the state Of \
2h-cent rate. which was ordered by the
State Railway commission, under instruc-
tons from the last legislative session. The
securing of physical valuations Of railway
property for the purpose of taxation and
rate regulation is also under way in the
state, and with this work only partly COM
pleted. and the test case in the court on a
higher rate, Just what action the legislature
may take is an open question.
The Insurance men Of the state will at
tempt to secure the repeal Of the valued
policy clause of the state insurance law.

Spectacle of Vehicles Headed by
High school Cadet Battalion
VIII He Presented Going
over River.

The National Corn exposition and the Ma
tional Horticultural congress at Council
Bluffs will exchange courtesies and the
people of Omaha and Council Bluffs will
do likewise. Council Bluffs will come to
Omaha Monday and Omaha will go to
Council Bluffs Tuesday.
Omaha's m and street car process
sion and parade to Council Bluffs Tuesday
bid fair to be one OF the largest affairs OF
the sort in local history. The entire high
school battalion and band in charge OF Cap
tain Curry, commanding, will go by specially
assigned street cars. while another section
OF ten chartered cars will bear those who
do not go by utomobile. OF responses to
the Commercial clubs committee, having
the matter in charge, there were twenty
one pledges Of cars in the first mail Satur-
day morning, following the sending OF circu-
lars Friday night, and pledges to bring their
cars nave been pouring In ever since. Each
car owne will max up his own party.
All Omaha men and women going in cars
or autos will carry cornstalks, which will
be furnished by a of the Com
mercial club headed by John Steele, who is
even now securing Douglas county in pur-
suit Of a sufficient quantity. The high
school battalion will not be armed with
rifles like an invading army. but will also
carry cornstalks.
The battalion, the street car crowds and
the automobile will rendezvous at the
Northwestern station in Council Bluffs and
thence go in unbroken line to the National
Horticultural congress-, for which the price
OF admission is 25 cents for adults. To
facilitate matters, tickets will be sold on
the street cars enroute. The mayor and
city council. city and county officials will
have a prominent place in the parade. There
will be only one speech at the congress. 1t
will be given by Rev. F. L. Loyeland.
Big Business Organizations.
The Real Estate exchange, the 1--we Stock
exchange, the Commercial club and mem
beers Of other bodies will be represented in
the automobile parade and many parties
are already organized. 1t is certain that in
both the street cars and motor cars there
win be hundreds OF prominent Omaha
women and girls. The committee Of the
Commercial club which has the parade in
charge Includes C. W. Wilhelm, chairman,
John Steele. II. S. Weller, L. A. Benson and
David Cole. The autos will rendezvous at
Eighteenth and Douglas streets at 2 p. m.
and the street cars will leave Fourteenth
and Douglas streets at the same hour.
Council Bluffs is coming in tremendous
force to the National Corn exposition Mon
day and the interchange Of visits will be
one OF the most impressive and felicitous
interchanges Of visits on the part OF the
two cities In the annals OF the west. A
score OF Council Bluffs society girls have
been pressed into service to advertise

congress and all day Saturday they pinned

A Beneficial Vacation.

This is the vacation season and an
unusual number at the present time
are taking their holiday at Portland,
Maine. This is sensible plan for
many reasons. Some are sensitive
about having it known that they are
taking the Kelley Cure. and they get
away at this season of the year with
out exciting comment.
few weeks spent in Portland, re-
suits not only in obtaining rest, change
and recreation, but one can also be re-
lieved of the liquor or drug addic-
tions. and come back prepared for the
battle of life much better than after
an ordinary vacation. AT this season
: of the year men in unusual numbers
mail their letters on the train and give
other indications that some of their
acquaintance are not posted as to
their whereabouts. The people OF
Portland enjoyed city life, and no
longer have curiosity about patients
or their affairs. They outgrew this
years ago. 1t is we'll known that at
a Kelley Institute everything is
strictly confidential.

EXHAUSTION
A DISORDER THAT, If NOT COR
RECTED, SPEEDILY WRECKS
THE GENERAL HEALTH.
Another Example of the Close De-
pendence Of the Nerves Upon the
Blood and an Endorsement Of
the Tonic Treatment.

Nervous exhaustion early shows itself
in the decreased activity of the organs
that normally cast out the waste prod
ucts of the body. The kidneys. skin
and bowels are deprived Of sorrc of
their energy and a part Of the poison
Gus waste materials, which they readily
pass OFF during health, are returned
back into the blood.
The result is plain. The blood filled
with impurities is unable to give even
its usual amount of nourishment To the
nerves and a general breakdown fol
lows. This is the explanation of the
depressed and irritable feeling. pallor.
loss of spirits. headaches, shortness of
breath and poor digestion of the ner-
vouS sufferer.
The tome treatment for nervous
troubles, by building up the blood and
supplying it with added Oxygen, burns
up and casts off the impurities and
gives to the nerves the elements they
need And in no other way can these
elements be conveyed to the nerves
except through the blood.
Mrs. Emma Howe. of 531 South Ionia
street, Grand Rapids. Mich. says:

possibility Of Administering Local
Treatment to That Oraan.

After a series of experiments cover
ing a period of many years, we'll
known specialist in stomach disorders
discovered that to administer local
treatment to the stomach was a pos
sibility.
AS a result of his study of the dis
eases Of digestion and nutrition. he
prepared prescription called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets that acts directly upon
the stomach and bowels, increasing
their strength and power to digest
Whatever food is eaten and quickly re-
storing health to these important Or
gans.-
Headaches. giddiness. palpitations,
heartburn. sleeplessness, fatulence
bad taste in the mouth. irritabflity,
drowsiness. coated tongue and full
feeling after eating. are but few of
the many distressing results of indi-
gestion. Mi-o-na never fails to dispel
all these troubles, and all disorders of
the stomach soon disappear when the
remedy is used
If you ever have the slightest symp-
tom of indigestion or weak stomach
check it's progress at once with Mi
o-na. The remedy is scientific. yet
simple. and Is fully guaranteed to be
harmless under serial No. 141S of the
United States Pure Food and Drugs
Law.
Bowditch. Webster & Co. believe sc
strongly in the curative powers OF
Mi-o-na in all diseases of the digestive
organs that they give guarantee with
every 50-cent box to refund the money
if the remedy does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the
risk and you lose nothing but your in
digestion when you buy Mi-o-na, and
that is a good loss.
