With postoffice and internal revenue re-
ceipts totaling over s12,000000 a year,
Omaha gets onto Uncle Sans books in a
most important position. The government
business here has been growing in recent
years at a rate not excelled by many cities
credited with a much larger population
than Omaha.
Not only in these two branches, but i'm
every line almost of governmental sctiv.
ity. is Omaha well up toward the head.
AS the location of the headquarters of the
army Department of the Missouri, Omaha
holds high place in military affairs. Here
are two posts, Fort Crook and Fort Omaha,
on which much money Is being expended
each year. and which are steadily grow
ing in Importance A government corral
is also maintained I'm Omaha aud an
Indian supply depot
Fort Omaha will, as time passes, con-
tinue to develop from year to year as
central point for the practice Of army
aeronaticB, signalling, wireless telegraphy
and kindred subjects. The school now es-
tablished at Fort Omaha for the education
OF experts in these lines, Is making very
promising progress. IL Is attracting
class of young Americans who see in the
new facilities of warfare immense oppor-
tunities for the exercise of skill and the
development of latent talent and energy
As the mastery of the air and the per-
lection OF wireless telegraphy is being
achieved, il will not hereafter be so axiom
attic as it has been that IAN army travels
on its stomach" Armies will travel on a
growing confidence in the signal corps and
the wireless telegraph system even IL they
have no big supply of grub along.

Handicapped in future wars as their pre-
decessors were in the years now almost

Fort Omaha is the greatest prospect in
the land today for a future development OF
the particular branches OF army business

accentuate better than words the growth
OF business in Postmaster Thomas depart
ment Recently there has been added the
street railway service, with five cars con-
tinually running out and into the central
postoffice, covering twenty-one subststons
and every section OF the city. from early
morning until late at night This service
makes a long step toward perfect service,
and is taken by the knowing ones to mean
conso idation OF the South omaha, Florence
ana Benson offices In the Omaha building
within very brief time When this oc-
ours, as 1t must under the scheme Of econo-
MIXING that is now being developed at
Washington, the Omaha office will move
a good many steps up the line In import
snce and in income, and will be serving a
territory Of very large dimensions better
probably, than the four offices serve the
same territory at the present time.
Internal Revenues Increase.
An Increase of practically a quarter mill
lion dollars was made in the internal re-
venue business of the Nebraska district in
1909, compared with 1908, as shown by the
following table.

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas: God in His infinite wis
dom has summoned our beloved
friend and co-worker. Chas. G. Kolp,
Resolved, That while our hearts
have become saddened by the loss OF
his sunny companionship and cheer
full helpfulness, nevertheless we bow
in submission to Him who doeth all
things well.
We cannot say and we will not say
That he Is dead, he is just away;
With CHEEKY smile. and wave OF
the hand.
He has wandered into an unknown
land
And left us dreaming how very fair
That land must be. since he fingers
there.
And you who widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return,
Think of him faring on, as dear In
the love of there
AS the love of here. think OF him
still as the same, we say
He is not dead, he is just away.

Fleming, nephew of Col. Swope; Mrs.
Sara Swope, niece, and Miss Stella
Swope, another niece.
DIR. Hyde had been treating Chrisman
Swope and on the sudden death of the
latter, the nurses became alarmed and
refused to stay in the house unless
Mrs. Logan Swope would summon an
other physician. This she did, but the
physician was unable to locate the
cause of the typhoid. On December
49,, Miss Lucy Lee, daughter of Mrs.
Logan Swope, was stricken with ty-
phoid fever, four days after her arrival
from Europe. DR.. Hyde had met the
young lady in New York and had treat
ed her in the early stages of her ILL
ness.
Mrs. Logan Swope acquainted John
G.. Paxton, the attorney for the Swope
estate, with her suspicious, and as re-
suit, the bodies of Col. Swope and his
nephew were exhumed and autopsies
performed. Strychnine was found in
large quantities, and an examination
of the stomach Of Miss Margaret
Swope, who recovered from the attack

revealed the presence Of

or typhoid. revealed the presence Of
this poison.
Attorney Paxton and Mrs. Swope
pursued the investigation with relent-
less vigor. and as a result of their ac-
sivity. DIR. Hyde brought a libel suit
for $60O.O00 against Attorney PASTOR,
DR.. Frank l. Hall and DR.. Edward J.
Stewart, and another for 100000
against Attorney Paxton. Later the
100000 suit was dismissed.
1t was on Feb. 9 that the coroner's
jury in Independence. Mo-, handed
down a verdict holding DIR. Hyde re-
spOnsible for the death of Col. Swope
Developments now came thick and fast
The following day DIR. Hyde was ar
rested, charged with murder in the
first degree, the warrant being issued
at the request of Attorney John g.
DR.. Hyde took his arrest coolly and
pleaded mot guilty. when arraigned
before Justice w. F. Loar at Independ-
ence. Mo. He was released on bond of
$4,000.
The climax came on March 5. when
the grand jury handed down ten in
dictments. charging DR.. Hyde with the
killing of Colonel Thomas H. Swope
and Chrisman Swope with poison and
with the attempted murder of eight
members of the Swope household with
typhoid germs. Another Indictment
accused him Of manslaughter by bleed
ing Colonel James Moss Hunton. a
cousin of Colonel Swope.
1t developed during the investigation
that Dr. Hyde had secured some ty-
phoid bacteria on November 10. Mrs.
Logan C. Swope, while giving her dep
osition in the Islander suit brought by
DIR. Hyde. swore that he had tried to
poison her by placing something in the
water.
DR.. Hyde. however. is confident of
his acquittal, and his young wife. Fran
ces Swope Hyde, is sure of his inno-
cence.
In 1897, DR.. Hyde. then police sur
geon, was ousted from office because
of alleged inhuman treatment of a col
ored woman who had attempted to
commit suicide. His name was more
conspicuously in the newspapers in
1889, when he was arrested, charged
with grave robbing. The case never
came to trial.
In 1905 he clandestinely married
