CHRONIC CATARRH
THROAT
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
AND MOST DISAGREEA-
BILE DISEASES.
Always Caused by a Neglected
Gold or a Succession Of Colds.
How to Prevent It.

The air passages of the head, throat and
lungs are lined with mucous membrane which
IN health s~ecretes a thin, Watery liquid to
keep 1t moist. When . person takes cold
this membrane becomes infamed. The in.
nammltion IL At first acute and is easily
cured, but when a cold fingers for weeks the
Inflammation becomes chronic and a thick,
offensive mucous is secreted. The disease at
this stage is known as chronic catarrh and il
seldom, Il ever, permanently cured. The
lime to effect q cure is when the cold is first
contracted and the Inflammation is in the
acute stage. All that is needed is a bottle of
ChAmberlain's Cough Remedy. Take il and
. quick cure is certain. Very often chronic
catArrh is contracted in childhood. Parents
do not realize the serious consequences that
may follow and permit colds contracted by
their children 10 linger for weeks. Asacon-
sequence the child becomes afflicted with
chronic catarrh from which il never wholly
recoVera The eatarFh may cause no serious
Inconvenience while the child is young and

GENERAL FUND IS REDUCED
Nearly Twenty-Fv Thousand Dol
lars Cut from Departments.
COUNCIL SLAVES APPROPRIATIONS
increases Are Made in some Budgets,
that of the city Treasurer Re
ceiving Four Thousand
Dollars More.

Nearly $3.50 has been cut from the city
appropriations out of the gem
eral fund as originally asked by the ue-
partments and scheduled to the council by
the comptroller. This was due to the work
of Councilman Zimman, the only republican
member, and Councilman Elsasser when
the appropriations for the new year were
made by the council i'm adjourned session
Wednesday morning. The council met in
afternoon and confirmed all it did in the
morning.
At the beginning Of 1908 the council set
aside out of the general fund for the sew
eral departments the sum of S163, 5000 60, the
judgment fund not being included. This
year the department heads certified to the
comptroller that they wanted about $4,000
more, or S1S7, 1853. AZ. This certification was
given to the council Wednesday morning
and many of the appropriations were made
as asked, but others were cut a consid-
cradle amount, Mr.. Zimman and Mr.. FL
sasser taking the initiative.
Two entire appropriations amounting to
were stricken out by motion Of Mr..
Zlmman, these being 5000 for the city Jail
and 5000 for cutting weeds. The police
court asked for $500, but this was cut to
$3.50; the custodian of the city hall
dSheu lOT 9lusOpV dNu was CuN " elOtVJVt
$500 was asked for the printing of annual
reports, but this was cut to $500, and the
plumbing inspector was allowed N,S54 in
stead of 1904 as asked for.
Some Increases Made.
Increases we're made in some depart
ments, $4,000 being added to the city trea-
surer's funds. Under the combining of the
offices OF the city and county treasurer
the city pays the county 1 per cent for
collecting taxes. A much larger collection
is expected this year than last and there
fore a larger appropriation was made. An
increase in the fund of the gas commits
sioner was made to buy more material.
The health commissioners fund was raised
1896 and the emergency hospital FUND
raised 81, 900, the commissions showing that
more money is needed to carry on the
work Of the department satisfactorily,
Under the new apportionment, the twenty
six departments of the city will nave the
use Of $3.50, 543. 40, or $6,242.SO more than they
had last year.
Detail of AppOrtiOnment.
This apportionment, compared with that
made for 1908, is as follows:

passengers who received shocks or slight
cuts and bruises left the scene of the acci-
dent Immediately. None was reported as
hurt badly. the car crew suffering the most
from the affair.
The damage to the car amounted only to
the smashing of the track brake, although
the car was derailed. Because of the loose
track plate at the intersection a caretaker
was stationed at the crossing to prevent a
repetition Of the occurrence and later the
trouble was remedied.

The Wednesday morning session of the
council was an adjourned meeting from
Tuesday evening, but little aside from
adopting the new apportionment was done.
Flynn Asks More Money.
A lengthy report from Street Commits
sioner Flynn asking for more money and
street cleaning machines and advocating
the s~prinkling of streets by the city in
stead of by private contractors was read
Councilman Brucker moved to adopt the
commissioner recommendations, but the
report was referred to the committee of
the whole for adoption.
Attorney JOIN w. Parish appeared be-
fore the council and secured the acceptance
by It of deeds to and made over to the
city making 1t possible to open Howard
street from Seventeenth street to TWEEN
tieth street.
The first step towards cutting down the
high hill on Twenty-fourth street, between
Burt and Cass streets, was taken by the
council last night in the appointing of
Councilmen Davis, McGovern and Johnson
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-07

as a board to equalize the damages to
property owners which will accrue In the
cutting down of the hill.
In the cutting down of the hill and the
final opening to traffic of the street, Twen-
ty-fourth will be the longest t~horoughfare
in the city of Omaha. The street will then
extend in practically a straight line from
Florence to South Omaha. When the street
is opened the street car tracks will be ex-
tended and direct through service between
the two cities given, thereby cutting off
about twenty minutes in the time to make
the journey from one terminal to the other.
City Secures Title.
Following litigation covering several
months, the city finally secured title TO the
right-of-way of Twenty-fourth street a
short time ago, but the simple acquiring of
the property did not make a street on ac-
count of the hill. This rises to the height
of about thirty feet, the rise beginning at
Cunning street. After the property was ac-
quired property owners who were assessed
heavily to pay for the land wanted the
street opened and petitioned the demo-
cratic councilmen so persistently that they
had to do something before the primaries
and last night not only appointed the
board of appraisers, but also passed the
first two readings of an ordinance appro-
priating money to pay one-half the dam
ages assessed to owners of abutting prop
erty where the street will he graded down.
City Engineer Rosewater. in a communi-
cation sent to the council, estimates the
amount of earth to be removed at $4,000
cubic yards. Measurements are now being
taken and he will have the exact figures
in a few days. The city engineer gives 1t
as his opinion that the grading ought not
to cost in excess of $500. and that he be-
lieves 1t could be done for $500.

PROTEST St. p. GRAIN RATES.
Chicago Claims Discrimination In
Favor of Milwaukee.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-An alleged eff
fort on the part of the st. Paul road
to favor the Milwaukee grain market
as against the Chicago market has
aroused one of the disputes of years
between the railroads and the grain
interests. Just as a solution of the
trouble had, it was thought, been
found, it was discovered that it would
have the effect of putting the small
elevators in Chicago out of business.
On July 6, 1907 the st. Paul road
put in grain tariff which provided
that the rates named will include the
delivery of grain to the boats of the
lake lines at Milwaukee. This tariff
remained in effect two years without
the grain interests of the board of
trade or the competitors of the St.
Paul discovering it's existence
A short time ago the manager of
transportation of the board of trade
tried to induce the st. Paul to take
out the tariff. The st. Paul owns
elevators at Milwaukee and can haul
grain from the west into the city with
out the necessity of bringing it thru
Chicago. Therefore 1t refused to can
Gel the tariff
Through the efforts of w. M. Hop
kins, manager of transportation fol
the board of trade, the Rock Islant
was induced to place the Chicago mar
ket on a parity with Milwaukee.
No sooner had Mr.. Hopkins an
nounced the action of the Rock Island
than the small elevator interests en-
tered determined protest. There arr
large number of smaller elevators
which have no lake connections ant
which cannot, therefore, secure thu
advantage of the Rock Islands allow
ance. which amounts to from S. t.
$3.50 per car.

County Attorney lntimates That Other
Arrests Will Shortly Be
Made.

st. Cloud, Mimi, Aug. 21.-County
Attorney j. B. Himsl went to Sank
Center to investigate the charges of
graft made against Municipal Judge
Morse and other officials. Pressed for
an interview, he said that things are
not altogether right" but refused to
make statement for publication
Mayor Minette denies that he is at
tempting to make political capital out
of the charges against Morse, and says
he has other counts on which he can
convict the judge. Morse contends,
and his docket seems to bear him out,
that the fines collected and not turned
into the treasury were RENTED to the
defendants, having been found excess
sive considering the circumstances.
He says he will prosecute the mayor
for alleged gross violations of the
gambling laws of the city.
County Attorney Himsl does not de-
ny that other arrests will be made.

ELIOT DISPl LEASES THE POPE
CONDEMN THE THEORIES IN HIS
RECENT ADDRESS.
Declares Address Is Not Basis of New
Religion, but Negative of
Faith.

Rome, Aug. 20.-The address deliv.
cred by Professor Charles w. Eliot
before the Harvard Summer School of
Theology on the religion of the future
has been translated by the pope's or
der into Italian, that he might more
thoroughly comprehend it.
The translation, which was most
accurately done, was read with great
care by the pope, who expressed pro
found regret that man of such au
thority and culture as Dr. Eliot should
spread theories that, he said, are not
in fact the basis of new religion OF
the future, but negation of the faitf
and principles which are the founda
ton of Christianity and modern civil
ization.
The pope is reported to have said Il
would be easy to refute and destroy
DR.. Eliot's arguments, and highl.
praised Archbishop Ryan of Phila
delphia, Bishop McFaul, of Trenton
and the other American ecclesiastic:
who fastened to the defense of thei
church and faith.
1t is believed that a semi-officia
reply to DR.. Eliot's address on tn
lines suggested by the pope himsel
will appear in the Civitta Cattolica
the most representative catholic mag
azne. This is managed by the Je
| suits, of which Father Salvatore Brad
an American citizen, is the editor.

Doing Great Damage.

Spokane. WASH Aug 21.-Three
hundred farmers and timbermen vain

fined to the newly opened reservation
for which the drawing was held ten

Rheims, France, Aug. 23.-The spec.
facle of six aeroplanes simultaneously
winging their flights in huge circles
over the plain at Bethany, was re-
markable feat of the opening day of
aviation week. At the finish of the
flight there was great burst of cheers
over the impressive exhibition of
mans mastery of the air.
The rain and wind prevented any at

succession, and as Latham was COM
pleting the first round, now at height
of 300 feet, six aeroplanes, like huge
gulls were lowering over the field
Fourier was first down, falling
headon into hay stack as Lambert
swept around into the second lap, his
machine seeming to cut into a bril-
liant rainbow which Illuminated the

Wright Machines Win.
Latham came down after finishing
the second round the others gradually
dropping out until only three Wright
machines remained aloft. Lambert
captured four; Lefobvre and Tissan-

cluded with a thrilling demonstration
of the maneuvering capacity of his
machine, circling around the starting
point cutting several figure Fights,
and swooping down over the people
in front of the tribunes, Lambert fin
fishing at the same time.
During this exhibition Lambert and
Lefebvre passed each other twice and
