MEMORIES OF WASHINGTON ‘Bons of American Revolution Honor Natal Day of Great Patriot. EFFECTS OF THE WAR ON CIVILIZATION Slew the Current of Government Was Turned aw a Result of the Suc- of American Arms d ideas. The Nebraska society of the Sons of the American Revolution at its anoual meeting in the Commercial club parlors last even- ing appropriately observed the anniversary of Washington's birth. The Omaha chap- Rer of the Daughters of the American Revo- Qution, together with the families and Briends of the two socleties, were the in- vited guests. The program, which was th conclusion of the series given by the so- eloty during the year, commemorating his- torlc anniversaries, was presided over by Wr. Carroll G. Pearse. “Givic Results of the Revolution” was the opening address by Charles S. Lobin- @ler, who sald In part: In our histories it ia the martial glory of the revolution of which we read most. The bravery of the men of Bunks the herole sacrifices at Valley triumphant scenes of Sarato Torktown—these ate the pages revolutionary record upon which fondly linger. But “Peace hath her victories No less renowned than war,” and dear as these events have become to us throu, the valor of our ancestors it is vertheless true.that not the military but }the clylc results of the revolution have made it a landmark in history. The first t elvic result of the revolution was e voluntary unfon of the colonies. For nearly two centuries they had remained in a etate of dependence upon the mother country and of lsolation from each other, ywith scarcely the sign of a yearning for *pationality. But the guns of Concord and xington roused them to a sense of com- mon denger. Washington, the Virginian, was placed in command of a continental army, including men of all colonies, who fors ot t they were New Yorkers or Caro. {vens ecame for the first time mnc-n- L nghng & oommon f0e and. ene sted in _the common cause of liberty. Thus Hla the “foree forge af the scattered \colonies were welded Into a nation. Development of Federation. The federal idea, the second great clvio the revolution, followed from the was its counterpart. It consisted uccessful establishment of the fed- rstem, & system which preserves the opomy of the indl while g a central pow upr e This, Iike the other, was & uniq Nlovement. " The process by Which former permanent political unions had Jon TOMEHED eas SbeorpLIon of smEigs: mation, never federation. And all attempte /to fedérate had failed either because the 'central government was too powerful and baorbed the local or because the local unit 00 strong and defied the central. Our l' jers first found the true center of po- tical gravity and the federal idea is one of America's original contributions to the \sclence of government. Again, through the revolution it first be- came possible to perfect the idea of the [written constitution. This idea had long !been growing in the world. It found ex- on in Magna Charta, in the English strument of government and the Bill of hts and in the colonial charters and 'compacts. But the full fruition of the con- stitutional idea came with the revolution and it was then that the first complete titutions were produced.

For business men, office men and clerks, and in fact everyone engaged in sedentary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful, Only men engaged in a severe, out-doer manusl labor can live on a heavy meat dlet And continue in health, Itls Die As & general rule, meat cnce a day s wufficlent for all classes of men. women and children. and grains, fruit and vegetables should constitute the bulk of food eate: But many of the most nutritious foods are difBcult of digestion, and it is of no use to ivise brain workers (o eat I ly of grains and vegetables where the is too weak to assimilate them properly. It is always best to get the best resulls from our foed that some simple and harm- less digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive organs, and several years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableis to be a very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and @ remedy wbich may be lllel dally with the best results.

Washington's influence and work as a member of the con- stitutional convention in settling differences between the states and in inducing the con- vention to adopt the constitution as pre- pared, wete thoroughly reviewed The writer in closing dwelt on the part Washington took in securing the ratification of the constitution by the states, and called attention to the fact that the almost ab- solute certainty that Washington would be the first president under the new constitu- tion was a powerful factor in the contest for ratification. Au original poem by H. 8. Jaynes on “The Human Washington” followed, por- traying most vividly the human side of Washington in all his achlevements through ¢hildhood, youth and maphood. The open- ing and closing stanzas were: Who has not heard of Washington, country’s glorious sire, And learned his virtues to respect, valor to admire? But_few are they bearch the. records ot To prove thit he, though sreat and wise, human to the cor Though some, because of s reserve, have styled him ““The Unknown. *Twill be our task to briefly show his heart was Wtk our own.

Barton contributed to the program by sioging the old song “A Thousand Years,” which rcceived a hearty encore. The entire company, led by Mr. Barton, jolned in the closing song “America.” A social hour, including refreshments, con- cluded the enjoyable celebration. TALKS ABOUT DECLARATION Former Congressman Butler P pates Celebration by Jacksonians. The Jacksonian club and its friends met in the club’s hall last evening to hear ex- Congressman Walter H. Butler of Des Moines, la., deliver an address on “The Declaration of Independence.” The club arranged for the address as a part of the observance of Washington's birthday anniversary. An entertaining mu- sical program contributed to the enjoyment of the evening. The club Is having its rooms handsomely redecorated. The re- ception and reading rooms will be thrown together, FREIGHT CAR RUNS AMUCK Plu Between Motor and Traller d Injures Dennis J. Kelleher. Dennis' J. Kelleher, aged 58, of 1712 Spruce street was struck on the head and thrown from & street car on Seventeenth street be- tween Izard and Nicholas streets at 8:45 last night, recelving severe, but mot seri- ous iniuries. When motor car No. 51, with a trailer, was crossing the Missourl Pacific tracks near the linseed ofl works a freight car that had been left standing near the cross- ing started toward the street cars and be- fore the motor train could be run over the croesing the car struck the tra'ler and mo- tor car at the coupling. The projecting roof of the trailer was suddenly forced down, Kelleher being di- rectly under it. The roof struck Him cn the head and the blow pitched him off the car. Conductor R. H. Harrington was in charge of the cars. Harrington sald the only explanation he DOVe | could give is that the brakes of the freight car had not been set tightly and that the Jarring of the ralls ca by the motor bad peen enough to set the car in motion, the grade being toward the crossicg frcm the point where the freight car was stand- ing. Kelleher's wounds were dressed at the police station by Police Surgeon Francis Borglum and Dr. Raymond Mullen and he was taken home in the patrol wagon.

The reason Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been recognized as the leading family medicine during the past 8fty years is because it is founded on true merit, and always been found reliable in cases of indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation and billousness.

Her- man Zeller wanted the city to pay him $20,000 for breaking an arm and recelving severe bruises by reason of a deteotive pavement. Tuc case went against Zeller, because witneeses swore on the stand that Zeller was intoxicated at the time. Anna Zeller also sued for damages alleged to have been caused by a change of grade of Twenty-third street. but the court and jury decided against her. Fred Lehmer had a personal injury claim filed and wanted $5,000, but the jury decided that She wanted $2,600, the city was not te blame. A number of tax cases were tried and won. The total amount of the suits men- tioned which were won by the city amount to $43,700. In two cases the city won without going | to trial. Ome was brought by W. C.| Hickson for $5,000 and the other by Jen- nie MecGregor for $4.500. When these cases were called no appearance was made by the plaintifts, and it is asserted that thie was because of the evidence being closely looked up at the time. In addition to this City Attorney Lam- bert has brought sult to .ecover judg- ments obtained and pald by the city in four e against the Omaha Gas com- pany. These suits aggregate $10,287 ana represent outlays made by the city for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by neglect of the Omaha Gas com- pany when laying trenches. At the time the city granted a franchise to the gas company a bond was given indemnifying the elty nst loss in cases of this kind, but under legal procedure it was deemed advisable for the city to confess judgment and then sue the gas company on the bond given at the time of the acceptance of the franchise. Loechner Trial Monday. Secretary John J. Ryan of the Board of Education will appear in the district court on Monday morning with certaln records of the board in the case of John Henry Loechner. Mr. Loechner was indicted by the grand jury for malfeasance in office, and it is expected that the trial will com- mence Monday. On account of his being a candldate for mayor Mr. Loechner is anx- fous to have the case tried, as he asserts that he expects a vindication. Mr. Ryan will be on hand with the records demanded. On account of the prominence of de- fendant the case {s attacting considerable attention just now, especially in political circles. City Protests. On Monday the city authorities will file In the district court appeal from thé declsion of the appraisers appeinted by Judge Vinsonhaler in the Omaha Bridge and Terminal condemnaifon proceedings. The terminal company applied to the court for the appointment of appraisers with a view to condemning certain portions of A and B streets, including an alley. The court made the appointment and the ap- praisers awarded the city the sum of $3. About one acre of ground is involved. The city proposes to fight the case and If pos- sible compel the terminal company to pur- chase the ground at what adjoining prop- erty ls quoted at. Talking Library Site. Dr, W. J.

These owners are, however, hold- ing back, with the expectation that the O street viaduct may be bullt some day and fu that event the property would double In value. As only $5,000 bas been appropriated by the city for a site, the property in que tion is considered entirely too valuable at this time to file bi Royal Arcanum Enterta 3 Invitations have been issued by Knoxall councll No. 1464, Royal Arcanum, for a musical and literary entertalnment to be given at the First Presbyterian church on Monday evening.
