This 15 Yhy first visit to Omaha. 1 am looking forward to much pleasurs from an acquaintance with her citizens. “As far as the work of the department ia concerned I can say nothing. I knew mothing of the department when I was as- signed to it, and as General Merriam had an appointment In Denver yesterday, my ar- rival later than was expected Tuesday made it impossible for us to talk over matters. Everything is in ship-shape, however, and &N of the business is before me."

In the criminal court a jury was empan- eled at yesterday's session to try the ca: of the state against John Harder of h’llllrd. The charge is embezziement. Charles T. Peavey of the Omaha Elevator company caused Harder's arrest a tew months ago, alleging that while acting as the com- pany's agent at Millard Harder had con- verted to his own use moneys aggergating $620. Harder bought grain from the farm- ers In the viciaity of Millard and stored it in cribs belonging to his employers. He was authorized by them to draw on the local bank to pay the bills. Harder is sald to have drawn on the bank several, times when thero were no purchases of grain. ‘The complaint specifies that on March 20 he drew 396, $274 and 3280 and converted the cash to his own use. Harder contended that he had purchased grain with these sums, which was in t) cribs at Millard. The proprietors of the elevator company were preparing to meas- ure the contents of the cribs on the day Harder was released from jall on bonds. During the night the cribs were burned to the ground.

BOARD ASKS FOR 1T8 FULL SHARE, Cut Down Thelr Levy. The members of the school board, through their attorney, have appiied to the district court for an order commanding the mayor and the city council to levy as large a sum for the school fund as the laws of the state allow. Attorney Herring told Judge Faw- cett that the board had reason to belleve the councll does not Intend to give this body all tHat Is coming to it under its legal rights. For this reason an order was re- Qquested as n precaution against the council repeating its action of 1898, The same question came up two years g0, when the council disputed the right of the school board to determine the amount of money which should be set aside for its needs. The councll members announced that they would levy only such a sum as in thelr judgment was sufficient to answer the needs of the board and not as large a sum a8 was asked for. The Board of Education thereupon secured & mandamus to compel the council to make the levy requested. When the matter came up for hearing Judge Fawcett decided that the board is sole judge of the amount of money it needs and ordered the council 10 make the levy accordingly.

BUTCHERS PONDER OVER LAW Twenty Dealers and Advisory Board Consult as to Moat Inspection. NEW ORDINANCE WILL BE MORE STRINGENT Committee of City Ofeinls and Deal- ers Interested is Appointed to Draft New Law to Pro- tect the Publie. Twenty butchers and commission men met with the Advisory board yesterday afternoon to discuss the proposed change in the rules concerning the inspection of meat offered for sale in the city. The rules which H. L. Ramacclottl, the city meat inspector, prepared were objected to on the ground that they require all animals to be inspected on the hoof and would prevent the shipping into the city of meat which was butchered elsewhere. All the butchers favored the erection of a city slaughter house and expressed a bellef that such & house would yield a good income to the clty. The chief objection to having all stock inspected on hoof is that the supply of meat killed outside the city and not passed upon by a government inspector would be cut off under such a plan and the packersy would be able to ralse their prices. Under the present arrangements farmers who live in the vicinity of Omaha can butcher hogs and cattle and market them In Omaha. This local supply regulat the price of butcher stuff and is sald to be of benefit to butchers and thelr customers. Coftman Sugmests Chang Health Commissioner Coffnian suggested that the rules be changed in such a manner that they will not exclude meat butehered outside the city, but will subject all such meat to a rigld examination and provide for heavy fines for any person found with diseased meat in his possession. This change was acceptable to the butchers and a com- mittee of five, consisting of the meat In- spector, the health commissioner, two butchers and one commission man, wes ap- pointed to frame an ordinance, which will be satistactory to the city authorities and the local meat men. E. A. Marsh and C. G. Fisher acted as spokesmen for the meat men and assured the board that the honest butchers of the city are anxious to have a rigid inspection of meat and are zealous in their efforts to prevent the public from being Imposed upon by unscrupulous dealers who buy dl eased cattle and offer their meat for sal These men explained that there are bute ers who deal only in the stock which is rejected at the stock yards and is not suitable for food. Chiet Donahue of the police department told of a case where information came to him concerning two men who were buying cattle which bad dled and offering tho flesh for sale. On one occasion he found a cai cass from which the hind quarters had been cut. These quarters were afterward found in an Omaha meat market, but the present ordinance specifies that such meat must be sold before a dealer be prose- cuted and Judge Gordon refused to take any notice of the case. According to the statement of Inspector Remacclott! there are twenty meat dealers in the city who are under ruspicion and his efforts are confined chiefly to watching theses men, but under the existing ord nances it {8 difficult to prosecute offenders, He explained that he has driven several unscrupulous dealers out of the city and is doing all in his power to prevent the sale of dlseased meat. In several cases the inspector has found mieat affected by tuberculosis in markets. Such meat fs always destroyed, but nothing can be done with the men who have it in their pos- sesslon, Much cheap meat, in the opinion of the inspector, finds its way Into cheap re taurants and chop houses where meals are served at less than the first cost of enough wholesome food to prepare a meal. A NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. A Preparation Discovered that Will Destroy the Dandruff Germ. For some time it has been known that dardruff is caused by a germ that digs up the scalp into little white flakes, and by sapping the vitality of the hair at the root causes falling hair, and, of course, finally baldness. For years there have been all kinds of hair stimulants and scalp tonies on the market, but there has been no per- manent cure for dandruff until the discov- ery of a preparation called Newbro's Herpl- cide, which destroys the dandruff germ. Destroy the cause, the effect will cease to exist. Kill the dandruff germ and you'll have no dandruff, no itching scalp, no fall- ing hair. DEFAULTER IN OLDEN TIME Willlams Lectures Upon the t Steward Who Squandered His Master's Money, “The Parable of the Unjust Steward, taken from Luke xvi, 1-10, was the subject of Bishop Willlams' mid-week lecture at Trinity catherdal chapel last night. The speaker referred to the efforts of the peo- ple of the business centers, particularly ot the citles of the great west, in striving for riches, and {llustrated the point by refer- ence to the crowded business quarter of Chicago or Omaha, where men with eager- ness and intensity written in their faces seek to legally cut one another's throats. They, like the steward in the parable, place worldly advantage far ahead of spiritual wealth. *The steward of the parable was an agent or business manager occupying a position of trust,” sald Bishop Willlams. “'It was his duty to be honest, but this steward was a defaulter. He misappropriated money which bolonged to his master that it might be wasted in extravagant living. In timo ho was accused by his neighbors and, hav- Ing lost his position, he cast about to find means of getting a living without working for it. With the connivance of the ten- ants he made a compromise with them for the money they owed his master. His meth- ods were sn clever that he not only earned the gratitude of the tenants, but the master s forced to admire the cleverness. ““The master of he unjust steward did not commend his servant's dishonesty, how- ever, and our Lord nowhere intimates that such a thought was in his mind. Nor does our Lord condemn riches as unrighteous in themselves, but only when they have been made unrighteously by men who have mis- used them. The lesson is that we are to take of the riches which have been made unrighteous by misuse—not only money, but human faculties—and turn them to spiritual uses. In other words, to make of them epiritual friends that after death shall go before us and precede us lnto everlasting habitations.” The Chinese Almanac, There is no work in the world of which #0 many coples are printed annually as of the Chinese almanac.

J. Leguerier, 1419 Howard street, where he has been a guest during his stay in the city. Prompt action on the part of Police Surgeon Ames defeated his purpose and after it was all over Moore remarked that he was glad to be still alive. Mcore wrote a letter Wedne:day afternoon to his wife, Maud, who has been Iiving with their two sons, aged 2 and 4 years, at 403 Bancroft street, declaring that he was tired of living and was determined to end his existence. About §:30 o'clock he left the house of his friend and took the mor- phine, returning in a few minutes, after which he fell into a stupor. The letter to his wife, found nearby, contained the fol- lowing message: When you receive this T will be out of trouble fn this world at least and 1 hope you will forgive me for this last act that will cause you sorrow, but it is for the best for both of us. Now, Maud, do not worry over this, for what s to be will be in spite of any effort we can make. Bring our boys up right and never let them for- get their papn. Maybe it will be a lesson to them to let cards and whisky alone, When the doctor had finished pumping out the morphine and Moore had had time to regain his composure somewhat, he arose and walked (o a dresser, where he coolly replaced a glass eye in the left socket. He sald be “just couldn’t bear to think of be- ing found dead with & glass eye in his head."” Mrs. Moore arrived later aad was much aftected when told of her husband's attempt. He was taken to the city jail for the night. A coated tongue, foul breath and clogged condition in the bowels suggests the use of Prickly Ash Bitters. It Is just suited for such allments.

The men who succeed are not laggards Their active minds and supple ‘bodies must be always alert and ready, quick to determine, vigorous to execute; eyes always on the goal, their zeal must never flag. No prob- lem is too hard for these men. Temporary check to their plans merely stimulates them to re- newed effort. Such men are the winners in life's battle. Weak- lings look on at the undertakings of these men with languid eye and sigh for their successes. Such a man is Chief of Police Mason of New Bedford, Mass., who writes the following letter to the public on the merits of Dr, Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy : It gives me gl-nn to add my testimony in+his brief note to that of many others, of the high esteem in which Dr. Greene's Nervura blood old in this com- munity. The scription of & regular physician adds to the confidence in which it s held by the public. I have given Dr, (reeno's Nervura to a personal friend who waa {1, and was rejoiced to hear trom his own lips an account of the benefit he had received. From report and experience, no doubt exists of the t value of Dr. Gireene's Nervura, which I recommend. “HENRY W.MABON, wCMer of Police of New Bedford, Mass.” In the full knowledge that disease is the relentless foe of mankind, most men flaunt the banner of impudence in the face of the giant and court his heaviest on- slaught. Not until his heel is on their necks do they realize how outray ed Nature can assert herself. Tho struggle for health, perhaps for breath, Is then begun and no one can see beyond the gloom. It is not the man who is alw afraid of taking cold or who fusses about exposure that keeps out of harm’ way ; it is the man whose robust constitution and steady nerves defy discase; whose blood is not the sluggish element that fills the veins of the weakling, but the pure, rich red blood of health. ’ for the Dr. Greone’s | ;o0 "o | Nervura | wverves. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the discovery of the eelebrated Dr. Greene, and nothing ever prepared for the ills of men and women is 80 clearly an aid to Nature. Made entirely of vegetable clements, it will of itself cure all ordinary cases of debility or nervous exhaustion. When the cases are complicated with the remnants of some devastating disease, Dr. Greene's advice should be sought, and the remediesat his disposal, his own discoveries, used as he advises, will bring promptly the indications of returning health —sound sleep, quiet nerves, hope and ambition. Dr. Greene's treatment is the quickest and surest road to health. Many years of constant experience with human 1lls, and @ success greater than that of any other physician, should ive confidence to every sufferer who needs advice and help, and who reads ese words of comfort and hope.
