Commissioner Williams brought up the subject of the dispensation of charity to the poor of the county, with the recommendation that some means of relief be found that will be less expensive for the taxpayer, and at the same time as effective as the present method. Chairman Stenberg and Commis- sioner Livesey also spoke on the subject, the former recommending that the Chicago system of keeping a supply house and issu- ing three-months tickets be adopted. The watter was finally referred to the committee on charities, with instructions to report at the next mecting, Chairman Stenberg's resolution, providing for the building of the Fort Crook road, was again considered und favorably disvosed of.

Bather and Bloachor Items Waftod in by August Zophyrs, Omaha has had some of the warmest weather of the season during the past weck, and fu consequence Courtland Beach bath- ers increased in numbers. Notwithstand- ing the fact that for a couple of nights ici- cles festooned the life lines and boat land- ing, Munager Grifiths never discarded his straw hat, even if he did go so far as to but- ton up his coat Friday evening® for the Woodmen of the World picnic. Newly mude costumes continue to make their debut,much to the delight of .the bleachers, who never fail to notice a good point in u costume, even if the point is not visible. Since Manager Grifiths has removed the fence back to what nhe considered an appropriate dis- tance opera glasses have been brought into use on numerous occasions, to_the delight of many bathers us well as the bleachers. An 18-year-old brunette, with bewitching black eyes that sparkle with merriment be- hind_a peach blossom compléxion, is ap- parelled in a red and white striped Turkish toweiing suit made. moderately low-necked front, with stylish flaring coflar! dimpled arms, sleeveless; limbs encased in baggy Turkish trousers and black stockings, with sash of towelng, is a costume thit dips in the lake at Courtland at least threg times a week. She is usually accompanied by a com- panion suit in blue una white worn by a petite blonde married sister, A pairof yellow tights with blue boot: topped by blue vaudvkes, partly compose costume somewhat noticeable. The balance is o short skirt of blue, trimmed in three folds of yellow silk, the puff sle being tied at shoulders with knots of yellow, en- circles a trim fizure often seen at'the beach, worn with a natty bathing cap of the two colors. A one-piece suit of blue zouave pants, at- tached 10 blouse waist, trimmea in three rows of red braid and loosely knotted red sash, 18 another familiar costume: that the bleachers canuot fail to appreciate. A Scotch plaid sleeveless blouse, vrincipal color being red, with very 'short black Jersey cloth skirt trimmed with three rows of Scoteh plaid braid at the bottom and also about half way to waist, with red bat ing cap and slippers, is one that is as pret as any seen at Omaha's povular resort. A white flannel suit trimmed in pale blue silk ribbon and another with white silk rib- bon are neat and quiet suits seen seve times recently. Many ladics have this season learned to vim, which fact is perhaps due to Prof. Gaynore's constant attendunce, especislly during the late afternoon hours, ‘'when many ladies prefer to dip. Mrs. Will Gyeer is without doubt the most expert lady swimmer who indulges at the beach; as a floater she is simply par excellence and wears a neat black costume looped at the shoulders with black ribbon, Mrs. F. A. Sears is also a fine swimmer and enjoys a nightly plunge with her husband, who Is quite un expert, Caps and slippers frequently go toward completely a bathing costume, and during the carly hours of the evening often u straw hat, for'the shade, Corsets are being worn to some extent by ladies of a_heavier build, while quite a few prefer the Empire corset waist.

About ten daysago a very well dressed young man, a smeoth talker and very pleas- ant fellow in mauyrespects, catled upon vhe representative wholesale men and man- ufacturers of Omaha and solicited advertising for :a souvenjr program that was to be published for a ball to be given by theretail grocery clerks of Omaha. The program was to be an_ elegant affair, with illuminated cover, and room for alimited number of advertisements, The names of many of ¢he weil known clerks and retail grocers «of the city were given as members of (the different committees that Wore to have charge of the ball. His advertislig rates were very stiff, but then the clerks could hot afford to stand the ex pense of the bulland they were calling only upon_the menw from.whom their cmployers bought goods, sothey felt they. would be supponted 4n their work. The young man said he was clerking for a grocer down on Vinton stteet. He wanted &15 for a half page in the program,which would have about ten pages for the merchautd to advertise their wares andhelp # worthy cause und would have ten pages more for the program committees and :he like. It is doubtful if the fellow knew what a snap he had. The big jobbers fell over each other in their desire to get spaceon the program and in the hearts of the retuil clerks. In two days the solicitor had thirty suckers on the listzand each of them was worth §15. o Tna -few daysafter the advertisements had' been given another clork called upon the advertisers with bills for the work, He had one of the ted programs and it was a beauty. Fverybod satisfied and every advertiser wanted one of the souve- nirs. The young man was sorry, but he had given all he started with away ' but the on he carried, but he had provided for the ad- vertisers and would send cach of thom a dozen of the souvenirs to send to their friends and cu I the country. This was eminently etor) nd the suckers paid their bills with alacrit Of course but few, if auy, of the big mer- chants would attend the bailand it is doubt fulif the imposition would' have been ex- posed for some time had not_one of the ad- isers talked a little more thun the others with the second young man, the one who collected the bilis.” The patron of the souve- nir swindle wanted to know where the young man worked and was given the name of a grocer whom he did not know., “Your boss don't buy any soup from me,” said the manufacturer. “No," replicd the young man, *he has not bean in business long, but will' handle your goods after this, He has told me that he wis £0ing to do business with you after your liberality in patronizing the. clerks. Come ud I'll see that you get an starter.” and the young man number on South Sixteenth str which the manufacturer entered in his note bodk. That sume afternoon the dealer in s0ap drove up town and started to make a cull upon the now grocer. Ho log tor the numberand found 1t—in the center of the railvoad tracks under the Sixteenth street viaduct. Then he wept. There were twenty of the biggest business men in the same boat with him, however, and us he had nothing particular on his wind yesterday he was calling up his fellow suckers by telephone and asking them if they attended the ball piven by the grocery clerks at Washington hall, and if vhey did, what did they do after e ball was over? —————— Bertie Maun in Court, Bertie Mann 1s. the plaintiff in a suit against W.

Romance of an O Ad Who s Mother in Denver. Frank Alexander, the 10-year-old son of J. Alexander, living at Fortieth and Grant streets, disappeared from his home last aturday. He left with the intention of oing to South Omaha to spend the day with some friends and has not been heard from by his father since that time. The police were notifiea, but were unable to find any trace of the little feilow. The boy has had a romance, and thereby hangs a tale. Kight years ago when Frank vas & baby his father and mother, who living in this city, had somo troublo and the wifeleft her husband. She went to Denver and refused to return to her husband and baby. After a year had elapsed Alex- ander secured a divorce and given the custody of his child, and the former Mrs. Alexander's name was not mentioned in the family circle. Alexander married again and the youug boy was cared for by Mrs. Alex- ander No. 2, whom he had bean taught to believe was his own mother. When Frank started for South Omaha last Suturday he took a box car at North Omaha, intending to stop at the Magic City. He made an error in his calculations and found himself in a freight carona west bound fast freight before he knew what he was doing. There was no way out of the difticulty but to remain in the car to the end of the journey, and on Monday the little fellow, in a very sore and haltstarved con- dition, found himself in Denver and was soon vicked up by the police and taken to the city jail. His name and experience was reported and attracted the attention of Mrs. Dehart, who called at the jail to see the little traveler. A few minutes conversation convinced the woman that the boy was her own son, for she was none other than the first wife of Alexander. She told the boy that she was his own mother. The little fellow Could not understand the situation at first, but the atronz ties of natural affection made him accept the strange woman's stat: ment that she was his mother. and he re- turned the caresses that she lavished upon him. Mrs. Dehart was allowed to take the child to her home and will keep him if the Omaha relatives are willing. e DISASTROUS RUNAWAY. Found One Horse Dnshes Through a Plate Glass | Windo Driver Not re. A disastrous accident took place at Fif- teenth and Farnam shortly after noon yester- day. A horse belonging to the CuaahyPacking company, and in charge of W. H. English, was hitched in front of the Fifteenth street entrance to McTague's when a double team, driven by a man whose name could not be ascertained, came along and collided with the Cudahy buggy, overturning it. The horse became very much frightened, and the outloolk for a lively runaway was exceedingly brilliant. whena young man of small stature, but withan abundance of nerve seized the excited apimal and succeeded in holaing him until the buggy wasrighted. The horse had managed, however, to get one leg over the shafts, aud made Trantic plunges to free him self. The young man at his head held to the excited beast at considerable dunger to him- . but was unable to control him, and after swinging around 1n a circle once or twice the horse lunged upon the sidewalk and suc- ceeded in getting under headway. Seeing that he was powerless tostop the runaway, the young man released his hold and jumped aside, just in time to avoid being hurled through a plate glass window into Wessel's gents' furnishing store, toward which the ammal was headed, and’ through which he crashed a moment later. It was the window at the side of the entrance, and was set atan angle with the sidewaik, so that the horse went bodily mto the show window space, playing havoe with the goods there di d, and crushing two or three dozen s hats iuto & shapeless m The large window was smashed into a thousand pieces, and the horse was severely cut. When extricated from the building blood was flowing from a score of cuts and ran down the sidewalk to the gutter. He was taken to a neghboring stable and a veterinary summoned, who attended to the wounds. The horse isa aluable one, and it is thought thut he is seriously injured. The man whose careless driving was responsible for the accident drove hastily away as soon as he saw the esult of his work, und the young man who bravely attempted to prevent the horse from getting away quietly dropped out of sight as s0on as his part was performed.
