EmpIoyeA.

Dan ". Tillotson has been informed BY
the civil service commission at Washing
ton that his charges against Postmaster
B. ?. Thomas viii ps investigated at once
Further information IS lacking in the
Washington telegram but Mr.. Tillotson ex-
poets Secretary Morse Of the Cincinnati
district to arrive i'm Omaha at any time
now to pursue the inquiry. Mr.. Morse has
been detailed to conduct the investigation.
because he is outside Of this civil service
district. is not acquainted with any OF the
principals in the postoffice controversy, and
is, therefore. qualified 10 weigh the evil
dence with an impartial mind.
In what manner the Investigation will
be pushed is a matter that rests with Mr..
Morse. but MIR. Tillotson and his attorney,
Frank b. ShotwelI. are endeavoring to Sc
cure a public inquiry.
Civil service employees. as well as many
business men Of Omaha, hail the news OF
Mr Morse's early arrival with great dcai
of satisfaction. The civil service employees
are working under a continual strain by
reason Of the chaotic condition at the post
office.
The postmaster is keeping up a brave
front insisting there Is really no trouble,
but in the meanwhile he is sending out his
emisssries TO see the men who are 70 testify
at the investigation, trying TO show them
the danger in giving their testimony as
II they we're the ones in trouble. The EN-
ployes are not in the least disturbed by
these, because OF the assurances they have
received from the Postoffice department
that no innocent parties TO the shakedown
will suffer

LINCOLN. March 10 Special1-The
Evans anti-treat bul Il. r.. On. was Killed
by the house this afternoon by a vote Of
SO to So
The vote came after a fiHbuster which
the minority had been maintaining Tor four
hours The bin provided that the bar
keeper or saloon owner should be- held re-
sponsible for violations Of the present anti
treat law and was violently opposed by
the wet majority. The wet men refused 20
grant the author Of the bil 1.-The customary
courtesy Of allowing the bin 20 so over
and the fihbuster resulted .u the effort Of
Evans to DELAY consideration until they
would grant his desires and allow him 20
have the bill submitted when everybody
was present to go on record There was
very little indication at any time that the
bill could pass as the house Is just about
evenly split between vets and drys and
few fthe drys were against this partic-
ular measure.
The roll call on the bill on third reading

The attempt made by Evans to talk the
rest Of the house into state of submis-

members were present was punctured al
the critical moment by Kotouc of Richard

Of a democratic newspaper dug out for

This came about 2 O'Clock. when the work
had been going on since 1O:So.
The foundation for the protest which
Evans led and which cost the state hun

was the uncourteous attitude taken by the

A Skin Tightener
To Reduce Wrinkles
(From Popular Medicine.)


In beauty culture, In the treatment of dis
ease the tendency nowadays is to seek the re-
moyal of causes. rather than to treat symptoms
or effects. In the matter of wrinkles for in
stance we know that the lines or burrows are
caused by the skin becoming loose in places so
it does not perfectly fit the flesh beneath. The
skin then wrinkles says. Naturally the
proper thing to do is to tighten the skin-make
it ft-then there's room for lines. wrinkles
and folds. and no surplus skin to sag or bag.
The best known formula for the purpose is
Saxolite, / o., in Il pint witch hazel. Use as
a wash lotion The effect is truly remarkable,
especially results are immediate. Ask the
druggist for the powdered saxoiite, which dis
solves more quickly than any other form.

The prohibitions are expected to aid
in bringing out the actual value OF

Another clause OF the proposed bill
will aim to prevent merchants from
returning stocks of goods at more
than their value, in order to establish
bigger credits. Insurance policies
Will be used by assessors to show the
minimum values or such stock. A
claue in the Edwards tax bill requires
assessors to administer oaths. This
Is also expected TO bring out actual
values.
