Straw Ballots
Favor Sutton
Two Juries and Non Political Club,
in Tests, Give Big Majority
to Judge.

Straw ballots are not always proof posi-
tive Of the way an election is going, but
when they show Overwhelmingly for one
candidate and against another considerable
significance must he attached.
Three test votes OF this sort show Judge
A. L. Sutton so far ahead OF c. o. Lobecl,
that the democratic candidate will foel
excessively doleful when he hears the word.
A jury sitting under Judge Redick in the
district court went out to consider its
verdict and after reaching this and while
waiting for the bailiff to unlock the door
amused itself by taking a test vote on
sutton and Lobeck. The former received
eleven votes and Lobeck one.
The same day a jury in Judge Kennedy's
court, also acting on its own initiative,
took straw vote This stood twelve 70
none I'm favor Of sutton.
A third straw vote was taken by a nom
political club Of Jewish members in South
Omaha. Seventy voted and sxty-nine were
for sutton and one for Lobeck.
Judge Sutton will address two meetings
in South Omaha this evening and thus
conclude his campaign. He has covered
the whole congressional district and feels
extremely confident OF winning by a large
majority.

HITCHCOCK WORKS A CANE
Beats County Out of Large Sum by
Smooth Work.
USES A HOLDING COMPANY
Has one Company owned by Him
self Buy Up His own Lots for
Tnxcs-worked Many
Times.

Saving OF several thousand dollars
was erected by c. NJ Hitchcock, demo-
cratic candidate for United states senator
with his Hitchcock Lot and Investment COM
pany. and the Reserve Realty company.
also controlled by MIN. by clever opera
lions in connection with the scavenger tax
sales in 1904 ana 1905, according 20 the rec
ords I'm the scavenger tax department in
the city hall.
The records show that while HitchcooS
and his lot and investment company con
trived to save several thousand dollars
the city and county lost money as a result
OF the operations and the total sum lost
by the county would almost equal the sum
gained BY Hitchcock and the Hitchcock Lot
and Investment company.
The operations really we're quite simple.
The Hitchcock Lot and Investment com
pany dealt in lots In Hitchcocks First
addition to the city Of Omaha. Failure OF
the company to pay taxes on the property
II held resulted in it's being offered for sale
by the county treasurer to pay the taxes
on Il. The taxes were delinquent for from
eight 70 ten years when lots were offered
for sale in 1904 and 1905. Then came the
Reserve Realty company a holding COM
pany" for the Hitchcock Lot and Invest
ment company. and secured tax deeds to
the lots by bidding them in" that is,
paying the taxes on them.
When property Is sold for taxes It Is sold
to the highest bidder, regardless Of whether
or nos his bid is sufficient to pay the &C
crued taxes.
Acted for Hitchcock.
The records show that II. G. Patterson
acting as trustee for the Reserve Realty
company, or G. M. Hitchcock, bid on the
Hitchcock company lots offered for sale
and in every case secured the tax deeds
upon payment Of a sum much less than
that Of the accrued taxes The deeds were
made to the Reserve Realty company in
each case.
Mr. Patterson, a broker, when asked
about the matter Monosy, said that the
Reserve company was a holding company
for Hitchcock. lie refused to say what ar
rangement he had with Hitchcock regard
ing his compensation for acting as trustee
The deal stripped Of it's legal garments
simply amounted to Hitchcocks evsding
payment OF a part Of his taxes by failing to
pay them and then taking on another per-
sonality, but really retaining his own
identity securing title to his property by
paving a small percentage Of the taxes
originally due.
The records show that this plan Of tax
lodging through purchase of tax titles by
a holding company" was worked in 2Oi
instances The total of taxes due and
unpaid was $3.50. The total Of the sums
paid for the tax titles which ultimately
were given to the holding company" $1s4l.
The city and county lost the difference
a.S19 The Hitchcock Lot and Investment
company made this difference less what
1t paid d. c. Patterson for his services or
commissions.

A LIFETIME OF
DISFlGUREME Mt
Mothers Should Realize What
Neglect of Skin Troubles
May Mean to Children.

lifetime of Disagreement and suf-
fering often results from the neglect
in infancy or childhood, of minor affec-
tons of the skin and scalp. A mother
Overlooks a little rash or attempts
some simple treatment and in a day
perhaps, the little one is covered with
severe eczema or other distressing
eruption. Then the struggle for a cure
begins.
A multitude of remedies are tried
doctor after doctor consulted and hos
pitfalls visited, but too often the suf-
fering extends without substantial re-
lief, from days to weeks, weeks to
months and months to years. Added to
this is the ever present fear that the
itching, burning and designation will
become chronic. marring future well
fare and making life miserable.
In the prevention OF the simple skin
affections from which all this suffering
so often arises, and in establishing a
condition of skin health, mothers are
assured thai nothing is purer, sweeter
or more effective than Cuticura soap,
assisted by Cuticura ointment. And
greater still, If possible, is the success
OF these simple household remedies in
the treatment of the severer skin
troubles themselves. With the first
warm bath with Cuticura soap and
gentle application Of Outicura oint-
ment, the itching and burning usually
cease, the child falls into a refreshing
sleep, the mother rests for the first
time, possibly, I'm many weeks, peace
falls on the distracted household. Ere
quently a single cake Of Cuticura soap
and box OF Cuticura ointment are suf-
ficient.

Spartanburg Herald Talks OF Work
OF NeWberry Chamber of
Commerce.

Spartanburg Herald.
The Chamber of Commerce of New
berry will entertain at banquet on
Tuesday evening, December 20. Pres
ident Finley, Of the Southern railway,
will be one of the speakers of the
evening. A number of Spartanburg
people have received invitations. The
Newberry Chamber of Commerce, Of
which Mr.. I. H. Hunt is president, has
proven in many ways in recent months
that it is an active and effective organ
ization. Newberry's example might be
very proftably followed by other
cities of the Piedmont. If this great
section Of South Carolina is to be de-
veloped along broad and progT essive
lines the people of the many splendid
cities of the region must work togeth-
er. A series of Chamber of Com
merce banquets attended by the think
ing, progressive men Of the cities OF
the Piedmont would result in expand
ing our business relations, and
Strengthening our social ties.
Those Spartanburg citizens who
visited Newberry last spring on an au-
tomobile trip will not soon forget the
hospitality of that city.
