THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY OVEMBER 23, 1900 Some Biscuit and Cake are light, sweet and wholesome, while others are sour, heavy, bitter, unpalatable. The same flour, butter, eggs and sugar are used; what makes the difference? It’s all in the baking powder DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER can be depended upon always to make the food light, sweet, delicious and wholesome. This is because it is scientifically and accurately combined and con- tains the purest grape cream of tartar, the most healthful of all fruit acids, used for a hundred years in the finest leavening preparations.

As a Nebraska republican, Semator John M. Thurston responded to more felicitations a election and more anxious inquiry be- fore that auspiolous event than any other public man In Washington. The satisfac- tion in the national capital over the N braska returns, Senator Thurston says, s far out of proportion to the vote of its eight electors. The senator was accompanied home by tw ers of his wite, the Mis Purman,. will return with them. to Washington at the close of the week. “The streets of Washington are already enlivened by the coming of another of congry sald Senator Thurston, though few members have as yet reached the capital. The approaching session will be crowded with busines it will be barely two months long, expiring by & statute limitation on March 4. *“One of the most important measures be- fore congress this winter will be the army bill, & cause of more or less anxlety to tl fusionists during the campaign. It fs the administration’s proposal to equip a force of 65,000 men, organized under the batta fon plan, so that it can be increased to 100,- 000 in time of need without additional lex- tslation. The companies will consist of sixty-five men and may be Increased to 100. The bill in my opinion s conservative and wisely drawn, in view of the conditions at home and abroad. “A Nicaraguan canal bill will also be taken up and probably pushed through dur- ing the session. The house bill now befo the senate remerves to the United Stats full power to regulate the trafiic of the canal even to closing the chanuel altogether. The proposed treaty with Great Britain before the senate, on the contrary, provides that the canal shall be open at all times to neu- tral nations. It has been sald that Britain Possesnes certain rights over the canal through the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, but it 1s & fact that such a treaty has no more con- trolling power than any other natlonal statute. It may be canceled by & later measure just ag a state law is made vold by the operation of one subsequently passed.

If there is only a slight lncrease in the number of congressmen Nebraska may be able to hold its six members, but there Is reason to fear that the six districts will be contracted into five. As to the make-up of the new congress there ia no doudt that the republicans will hold their prestige by an increased majority. Senator Thurston has taken no hand in local politics for some time, except to offer his time to the republican state committes Auring the campalgn. The senator made & number of addresses in the state, and while he endeavored-to believe in all conservatism after his tour that the republicans would win, the result brought him scarcely less of surprise than satisfaction.

Mercer received a telegram yesterday calling the repub- lican members of the house into an imme- diate caucus. He will anticipate his de- parture by several days, therefore, and will start for Washington this morning. Mr. Mercer spent most of yesterday In recelv- ing dolegations which desire further rip- ping slong the river and similar emls ries from varlous parts of the three coun- tios. “The session opening December 3 will be a very short one and the procedure will be more hurrfed and confused than usual on such occaslons,” sald Mr. Mercer. “From what I can ascertain the republican caucus will have to do with a revision of the rev- enue laws. The people have felt for some time that some reduction might be made in the war tax and the caucus will probably consider Just how far it Is wise to go in thiat direction. The initiative, of course, must come from the house. ‘Among the local matters which will probably come up is the riprapping of the Missour! north of Omaha.

BANNER REPUBLICAN PRECINCT. Every Vote is Cast for McKinley in Contrast to Four Years Ago. B. F. Ankeny, a promivent cattleman from western Nebraska, halls from what is in all probabllity the banner republican precinct In the state. Of the forty votes cast at the late election in Ploneer pre- cinet, Deuel county, every one was for the republican ticket. “We republicans out there naturally feel pretty good over the showing we have made,” sald Mr. Ankeny. “It Is the more important when considered in the light ot the vote four years ago. At that time there were forty-seven votes in the precinct and all but two were in favor of Mr. Bryan. There has been a marked change in polit- tcal sentiment in the western part of the state since that time, however, and no- where s it more apparent than In our pre- cinct. Prior to the election there was not o great deal of talk on politics. We did not attempt to Influence any of the men i odf employ, but from time to time re- ports came In that the sentiment was crys- tallizing In favor of a continuance of pros- perity. “When the votes were counted election night it was learncd that forty had been cast and of this number not one was fn favor of Mr. Bryan.

KNIGHTS PLAN NEW PAGEANT Ak-Bar-Ben's J olly Court Aseembles to Confer Over Banquet Board, SAMSON'S COFFERS ALREADY GROW HEAVY e and Those Who Give ce to the Fall Festival Even Now Bringing in Their Tribute. The annual meeting of the Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben will be held next Monday night at the Den and the men who made the fall festival of 1900 will consider plans over the banquet table for making the festival of 1901 unparalleled in the history of such at- faifs in the west. Originally the annual meeting was calied for the Commersial club rooms and the business was to have been of a routine na- ture, including the election of three gov- ernors to fill the places made vacant by | the expiration of the terms of R. 8. Wilcox, Fred Motz, jr., and Edgar Allen. After the call was issued the board ot governors de- cided to give a complimentary banquet to the men whose cash and presence made the festival of 1900 so successful. It was then decided to hold the annual meeting at the Den and Rome Miller was authorized to provide a banquet sufficient for all who re- ply to the cards of invitation which have been sent out. In order to restrict the at- tendance only to members the password in use last summer will be taken up at the door. Members who have forgotten the word will have their memories refreshed by & competent attendant. Several persons have been requested to respond to toasts following the dinner, and their acceptances will be received in timo for the publication of the program Satur- day. At the same time the governors de- sire every member of Ak-Sar-Ben's tribe to ransack their inmer consclousness for \deas quaint, cute and practical for the fes- tival of the coming year and propose the result of thelr cogitations at the annual meeting. Kuights Sti Stand Loyal. There were 874 invitations Issued for the meeting and accompanylng each invitation was & blank application for membership in the soclety for the year 1901 It is a pleas- ing fact to note that the applications are now belng returned with checks and bills for $10 attached, showing that by far ths larger part of the membership of the last year is ready and willing to remain in the king's retinue. In addition to the applications for mem- bership the secretary has mailed 350 cards to citizens asking pledges for the parade fund for next year. The money pledged Is payable after April 1, 1901, and many of the cards have been returned properly filled out for amounts corresponding to what the treasurer expected. At the annual meeting an opportunity will be given for the old members to pay their dues for the coming year, but the governors are more anxious to obtain ideas than to recelve cash and prefer the people to bring with them suggestions for the next festival rather than their dues. The treas- urer urges the prompt response to his cards of invitation, as the plates provided at the banquet will depend upon the number sig- nitying their intention of coming to the meeting. AGAIN BEFORE JUDICIAL EYE District Judges Speculate pea Reap- noe of Bartley Cane on the Docket. The judges of the district court found good deal to interest them in the likelihood of the Bartley bondsmen suit being brought up before one of their number for re-trial during the present term. The news from Lincoln that the case has been remanded gave rise to speculation over who will preside at the rehearing. Judge Fawcett last heard the case and Instructed the jury to fiud fof the state. The supreme court reversed the decision, adhering to its for- mer judgment when the case went to the higher tribunal for the first time from Judge Powell's case. It Is the decision of the chief justice that the district judge erred when he Instructed the jury to re- turn a verdict for the full amount of the defalcation. It Is belleved that either Judge Slabaugh or Judge Estelle will try the case gain before the end of the present term, The suit is one brought by the state to recover from Bartley's bondsmen the amount of the former state treasurer's defalcation.

The members of the South Side Improve- ment club and residents of the city generally vho have been zealous in their efforts to ecure the construction of viaducts over the railroad tracks at Twenty-fourth street and the Vinton street boulevard are likely to be disappointed. City Attorney Connell has made the statement that the municipality will not take another step toward the com- pletion of either of the projects in the event of the courts allowing damages to property owners now appealing from the awards of the appralsers for the Sixteenth street via- duct, The viaduct at the Vinton street boulevard 18 now In the course of construction. The main span has been put In place. The Twenty-fourth street viaduct is still on pa- per, but tho city and the railroads have glven assurances that preliminary work will bo commenced at & very early date. City Attorney Counell says that this situation will not prevent a decided stand being taken inst further efforts for the viaducts, if y & declsion of the court it is shown that the city is liable for heavy damages by al- lowing these improvements. Judge Baxter is now hearing sults to re- cover damages on account of the Sixteenth street viaduct. Many property holders, in- cluding several who waived damages when the old viaduct was budlt and others who beld out for extra remuneration and were successtul in their application to the courts, have now put in large claims, appealing trom the award of the appraisers. Thes claims the city has disputed. In the aggr gate, the city attorney says they amount to $26,000. “'Some of these people a thelr prop- erty has been damaged because the viaduct 1s 80 high it shuts off the light from their dwellings and stores,” the city attorney stated. “Others maintain that, belng larger than the former one, it permits increased trafic ond consequently more dust and dirt blows against the adjacent buildin 1f the court allows damages on these allega- tlons it 1s reasonable to suppose that the people who live alung Twenty-fourth street and the Vinton street boulevard can suc- cessfully press simflar claims. The result 18 certaln. The city will be out of pocket thousands of dollars. “As the matter now stands I know the city will not take another step toward securing these viaducts if the court allows the claims of the property holders, unles it should happen that the people owning property along the other strects mentioned will agree in advance to waive all claims for damages, a very unlikely contingency.” Many of your friends, or people whom you know of, have contracted consumption, pneumonia or other fatal diseases, by neglect of a simple cough or cold.

Finding a Fortune and Founding a Fortune. A TRAMP'S LUCK AND AN EN- ERGETIC MAN'S PURPOSE. It is perhaps true as told that a tramp, searching a garbage barrel for scraps of refuse food, found a fortune in good United States currency., Such a thing may happen. But the workman who gives up a steady occupation however unremuner- ative to hunt garbage barrels for a fort- une will l\lm}'v degenerate to a tramp, There is a difference between finding a fortune and founding a fortune. Few men chance upon fortunes. The fort. unes we know about are not found but founded on a certain substantial basis. The nature of that basis of fortune is well set forth in the advice given by a successful merchant to a young man who asked, “What is the first requisite to making a fortune?” “The first re- uisite to making a fortune” said the ich man, “is health,” “The idea that fortunes are made suggests toil and in- dustry and skill. Nothing can be made without these, But a weak man cannot toil, and industry is incompatible with {il-health. 1f you want to be mnfi remember that’ all physical strengt comes from food and that the amount of strength extracted from food depends upon the ability of the stomach to di- est food and assimilate its nmutrition, e man who takes care of his digestion is, in general, taking care of every other organ of his body.” SUCCHSS AND THE STOMACH. The merchant who gave the above opinion may not have n much of a pgvn an but he was a good deal of a philosopher. He bad seen men with success almost within the grasp, break down hecause of *“stomach trouble.” He had theorized the saying that the “weakest must go to the wall” into the saying that “the man with the weakest stomach must go to the wall,” because no man is stronger than his stomach. The man who will learn this lesson of success has taken a great stride to his goal. Health is the first prerequisite of success and health in general means a eound stomach and a digestion, Look at the the matter. Food is a man's lif s strength. Physical life is sustained by food. But the fact that a thing can be eaten doesn’t make it food. Many a physician practising i the tenements of a city says of failing men or women, “What they need 1s wnourishing food.” Shipwrecked men eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees, anything to satisfy bunger. But this is not fc in any true sense because it contains no nutrition. All food must be considered in relation to its nutriti ROEDER'S CAREER IN OMAHA | Prominent Figure in New York § 1» Well Known in -Local Jewish Circles. Adolph L.

When the stomach and the al- lied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased the nutrition contained in food is imperfectly extracted and the body fails of nutrition adequate to its needs. The shipwrecked sailor liviny upon scraps in which there is no nutri- tion is on a level with the man who eats abundant nutritious food but whose stomach with its allied organs is de- eased and therefore fails to extract from the food eaten the nutrition which is the body's need. SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN, That is almost an axiom. The man with a sound stomach and good diges tion will in ordinary be a sound man, because the nutriment of food is the life and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid- neys and every organ of the body. he first need of a weak man is to look after his stomach and his digestion, There is the common seat of physical weakness, How weak men have been made strong; strong of heart, liver, lunge, kidneys, and other orgaus by being made strong of stomach and strong of di- gestion has been told thout sands of times by thos who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discocery Y1 write to tell you of the great benefit I have re- ceived from the use of Dr Pierce's Golden Medkay Discovery,” writes Mr. .
