An amusing incident occurred at the clos- ing sexsion of tha prohibition amendment convention last night. Before Governor St. John was introduced for the address of the ovening, Chairman Dickie, of the national committee, again took ap the plea for money subscriptions to further the work of the cumbaign, He started with a call for §50 subscriptions, and by amusing storigs and other means succeeded in securing quit) a number who pleaged themselves for that amount, On starting the call for 25 sub- scrivtions, he paused in the midst of deepest silence and ironically asked the question, SWill Tre Oxana BEE head the list for this amount!” An uproar followed and cries came from all over the room, “not a bit of it.” Quietly, at nhis desk, Tue BEE repro- sentative sat biding his time. Ho remem- bered Boilus' boycotting resolution, and other unkind threats that had been made at the paper he represented. From $10 Dickie finally came down to 85, when Tie Bee man went down into his pocketand fished up a lonely bran new bill of that denomination, and beckonng to the speaker handed it to him with the quiet remark, ‘‘Flive doilars for Tug Owmama Rer” He stood a mo- ment as though thunderstruck, but holdg it up he slowly repeated ‘‘Five dollars for the OsmAus Ber” The storm of applause that greeted the aunouncement is without a rival in the history of the city. Tne great crowd yelled as though the very rafters of the building were lifting, and again Mr. Dickie paused as though uonplussed, He Arose to the emergency. bowever, and put the bill up at auction and in less than no time it went to a gentleman from Friend for $15. Other representatives of state pavers followed suit, but their subscriptions lacked inspection. 1t is neediess Lo say that Tue Bee did not receive any more unkind thrusts at the hands of the convention.

A Youthful Forger Confesses Hav- ing Committed a Orime. HOW HE WORKED HIS SCHEME. Presents a Stolen Savings Bank Pass Book and Draws Thirty Dollars Not His Own—A Pleasant Nignt With the Iinights. A Youthfal Forger Oonfesses A young boy, scarcely eighteen years of 3, whose name is J, Rearaon, was arrestod Thursday for the crimo of forgery. For hours he maintained innocence of the charge, but Chief Mahoney, by hard work and strategy, finally socured a confession of the crime from the young culprit. ‘Che way te worked tho scheme indicates that he is on the high road to a careor of crookedness, and s pretiy well versed oven now, in tho ways of the wicked. Androw Gallagher, an employe of tho Swift Packing company, has a savings wo- count at th aska Savings bank. Young Reardon stole Gallagher's bank book from his coat pocket while it hung in his room and proceeded to draw as much money as his ilnmediate needs required. He wroto a note like this and presented it with the pass book at the bank: “Pleuse give boarer §30 and charge to my nccount. Ho is my brother. 1am sick and cannot como myself.’ ‘fo this uote Reardon signed Gallagher's name, He presented the pass book at the Nebraska Savings bank and drew &), sign- g Gallagher's name to the receipt. ‘I'hie note he had forged with the intention of pra- senting it in case he was refused the money by merely presenting the pass book. Reardon then returned to Gallagler's and put the book back o the coat pocket. He stole a gold_seal ring from the room be- longing to Gallugher's brother, ~ worth about $12 which he afterwards sold for & cents. The ring was recovered last night by Chief Mahoney and Officer Mose Redmond. Reardon had spent nearly all the $30 when he was arrested, Theloss of the money will fall on Gallagher, as the presentation of the pass book at the bank releases it from all liabulity. Reardon was arraigned yesterday and vleaded guilty to the charge of forgery. Last spring Reardon was arrested for petty lurceny.

After the literary and musical exorcises were concluded a collation served.

Mandolin music was rendered by the Sutunos mando- lin club of Omana. Chancellor Currrien of Omaha, delivered an excellent address.

But a recent invention practically abolishes the snore. 1t consists of a thin piece of celluloid to fit between the teeth and lips. Itismade to follow the arch of the teeth,and when well made fits suugl The renson why veople snore is that they sleep with their mouths open. About nine out of ten persons breathe through the mouth during slesp. They all say they don’t, but ivs only a little fancy; they do. A moment’s reflection will show that the mnose was made for breathing and smeiling, and the mouth forgeating and speaking. - Throe-quarters of the throat troubles are said to come from mouth breathing, and much of the evil of supposed catrrh is nothing but the effect of mouth- breathing. The bad taste in the mouth in the morning, the dryness of lips and tongue, all come from the passing of the air through the wrotg channel. The piece of ¢elluloid, called a mouth-breathing inhibitor.” prevents air from pussing through the mouth and forces it through the nose. It may be supposed that a cold in the head will sometimes necessitute mouth-breathing. but not so. Colds in the head are largely due to the sensitiveness of the uasul membranes to the touch of aiv, caused by not usitg Lhe nose for breath- ing. Once accustym the nostrils to pussing mir, especipily the cool air of night, and cold in o head will disap- pear.

Combined with cotton meal it makes an admirable fertilizer for both corn and cotton.

Thus far South Carolina has furnished the bulk of the phosphates, producing lust year 600,000 tons. The Florida article is said to be superior to that of South Carolina, and as the i sed supply must lead to low cost it will lead to a more rapid development of agriculture in the southern states than has ever before been known.
