TAFT USING
XMAS STAMPS

Miss Emily Bisser Of the And-Tuber-
culosis Society, and originator of the
Christmas stamps being sold all over tho
country for the fight against consump-
ton. has received word that President
Taft has directed that the stamps be
placed on all letters and packages going
out OF the White House. She has also been
advised that Great Britain has decided TO
admit mail containing the stamps. thus
opening up vastly wider field for their ex-
ploitation.
Having learned that the business men
OF Holley n. y, have agreed to donate a
sum OF money equal TO the amount re-
ceived from the sale of Christmas stamps
in that town, Miss Blssell expressed the
hope this morning that Wilmington busi-
ness men would take similar action. IT..
for instance, 5000 should be received
from the sale Of stamps here. It is sug-
gested that local business men add an
other 5000. thus making the sale doubly
effective.

To a man, the Creeks expressed their
intention OF staying by the undertaking
and OF fighting the state soldiers to the
death. So enthusiastic did they become
after Crazy Snakes appeal. that a war
dance was started by some Of the older
Indians. The younger ones soon Joined in

Snake, arrayed himself in sewage toEgery
which hitherto had been kept hidden, and
appeared in sll his glory. Ths yells acco.

The scouts had seen enough. Hastily they
went back to their camp at Hickory Hills
and reported that the Indians really meant
to fight.
The order to advance was then given and
the soldiers soon were after their red
foes. Arrangements were made to keep up
the search throughout the day for the
renegade bands to which IL ascribed mos,

Crazy Snake has been plotting the event

the city council Monday afternoon went on
record against the bill and appointed 1. ].
Dunn. first assistant city attorney, as a
special emissary to take the protest to
Lincoln. appear before the legislature on
the floor and argue against II.
The protest, drawn up in the legal de-
partment and signed by every member of
the council. follows;
We. the members Of the city council OF
the city of Omaha. believe that senate file
which recently passed the senate Of this
state. is a thoroughly vicious and danger
Gus measure 1t is an unwarrsntsd assault
cities and towns Of this state. The. real
purpose OF the bill IL to serve the fran,
great injury Of the people OF the munich
palities Of the state Of Nebraska, wherever
public service corporations now hold or
may IN the future obtain franchises. we
find that the provisions Of the bill grant
monopolies to the various water, gas, cleo
trio light, street railway and telepnone GP as
and towns of this state; that in addition
thereto its purpose Is to change the pres
ent licenses, permits and limited franchises
held by>public service corporations into per-
petual franchises and permit them TO mo.
nopolize the field OF the various lines OF
public service In which they are engaged,
so that the people of the cities and towns
of the state will be at the mercy so Far
as public service is concerned of corporate
monopolies.
We believe that It is not too much TO say
that this bill Is the most outrageous, mex
cusable and intolerable attempt on the part
| of grasping and constituencies corporations
to rob the people of the cities and towns
OF Nebraska Of their right to control their
own affairs, and to levy tribute upon them,
that has ever been offered to any legisla-
tur elm this or any other state.
Resolved. That it is the sense OF the city
council of the city OF Omaha that the pro
visions Of senate file No, S54 constitute q
menace to the welfare of the cities and
! towns of Nebraska, and that the passage
of said bill will constitute an unwarranted
assault not only upon the rights, privileges
and property of the people of the cities and
towns of Nebraska, but upon the principle
| of self government and home rule, to which
a majority of the present Legislature. Is
pledged. That this bill would in effect
transfer by legislative decree to the fran
chised corporations Of Nebraska property
and privileges belonging to the people
worth millions of dollars. Against this out
rage we protest and appeal to the sense
OF fairness and Justice of the members OF
! the legislature, and earnestly. request them
to defeat the passage of this bill.
