THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2 VHANGES FOR CITY CHARTER Amendments Being COonsidersd Without « Publicity by Doagias Delegation. LEGISLATORS HAVE AGREED NOT TO TALK Brpresstan of Publie Sentiment in De- Some Members of the Delegation, bat They Dare Not Ask for It. sired by At the meeting of the joint committee of citizefs at the Commrercial elub Friday night the impression was givem out by one | of the members that the Douglas county delegation to the state legislature had pre- pared, in part, a number of amendments to the city charter which would have an effect upon the administration of the city from a political standpoint, and that ihe delega- tion preferred to recetve from the jolnt commitiee re¢commendations upon what may | be called the busimess features of the chai ter and not the so-called political features. Yesterday a member of the delegation denled that this impression was correct and id that as far as he knew the members of the delegaticn desired suggestions on all subjects relating to the eity eharter. A person very close to the members of the delegation and who has kept in touch 10 a great extent with thelr conferences, but who would mot permit the use of his name, sald: “I am in a position to know that, while the members of the Douglas county delega- tion bave an understanding by which none will speak for publication without a united expression from all, a number of the mem- bers desire a more general discussion of métters which may be presented, and were it not for the rule which has been adopted they would talk more freely. Certaln mem- bers ‘who have expressed themselves upon certaln subjects have been cautioned by their fellows, and steps have been taken to keep them from bre: g inte public print. For this reason I do not desire to be quoted by name, for the matter might be traced to one or more of the delegation. For Chunging Election Time. At the same time I know that a mumber of matters have been considered and that a number of the legislators would like to have them discussed by the public. Among th quesations, and to cover which 1 understand A bill has been tentatively drafted, is one to change the date of the city election from April to May or Ju This is done on the repregentation of a number of citizens, who say that at the time of the spring election the business men are very busy and cannot take that part in the eampaign which they feel they should, and that if the election were held in the quieter summer months they could take part. “Another proposed change refers to the electlon of county commissioniors. At the preqgnt time the city councilmen are elected by all of the electors of the city, and it is proposed to have the county commissioners elected by all of the electors of the county, as the people in one part ot the county are a8 much interested in the selection of the entire board as they are tn the selection of any ofie member, ‘There Is a strong feeling with the dele- gation that the city attorney, the eity en- gineer and the prosecuting attormey of the city should be elected and not appointed. When this proposed amendment was sug- gested there were those present who sug- gested that if this were done the Board of Fire and “Police Commissioners and the street commissioner should also be elected, as this board and this officer have much in- fluence in the city government. An expres- slon was earnestly desired on these subjects by a number of the members of the delega- tion; but they are not in a position to ask publicly for such xpression, as they cannot get a unanimous request for it. “Another question on which expres sion of public eentiment is desired is the municipal ownership of public utilities. Suggestions have been made that the law governing this feature of the city govern- ment shoul be changed to give the city a right to much freer action fn this regard. “It is almost certain that no charter nmendment will be submitted as an in pendent bill. The majority of the delega- tlon feel that it would save opportunities for making mistakes to have all bills to amend the charter referred to a committeo which will compile them and introduce an omulbus measure. This measure can then be censidered as a whole and be amended as found desirable. It i true that this plan will make it more difficult to secure amendments, but it is belleved that it will be the best plan, as it will save the pres- ence of contradictory and counflicting pro- visions in the charter. “80 far as I can learn there is no oppost- tion to placing in the charter a which will place the rallroads upon the same basis as regards taxation as all other property in the city, but the matter has not —_—— NOBODY 1S EXENPT. < A New Preparation Which Everyone . Wil Need Soomer or fater. Almost everybody's digestion Is disor- dered move or less, and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so-called bivod purifiers, which in many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things aré not needed. If the orgams are in a clogged condition, they need oaly a lttle help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irritate the sensitive lnings of the stomach and bowels and often do more barm than good. Purging is not what Is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in condition to be readily digested and assimilsted Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this pertectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate (he secretion eweretion of (he digestive fluids and relleve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive m in con- ditioa to do its work. When that is done you need také no more tablets, unless you eat what does not rrfi with you. Thea lets—give them needed help and you will have no trouble.

There are about 20 people who have pald for their stock |0 full and. they will reeefve eertificates ranging in amount from 2,500 shares down | to one share. The largest shareholder to | receive a certificate at this time will be the | Armour Pncking company, whose subscrip- tion of $2,500 was paid in full at the time It was made. The second on the list is the | local telephone company, whose certificate will show the pessession of 2,000 shares in the company, There are probably more than 100- persons who will receive certifi- cates for one share at this time The majority of this stock was fully paid up & year or more ago, at the time of the first call, a considerable amount was paid up at the time of the second call, while a smaller part has beeh paid up since that time. The third assessment will be due and payable on January 5, and the secretary is now serving fotices of such assessment. The money is needed to continue work on the bufiding, and its colleetion will be pushed by the secretary and board of di- rectors. MAYOR TALKS OF CHARITY Denfes Com Statement About City Drawing on C nty Store. A woman applied at the office of Mayor for ald from the city Friday. A year ago this call would have been but one of several. This winter it was unusual. “This cold snap would have sent us ffty applicants & year ago, whereas it now sends us but ome,” said the mayor. “Despite the high price ot fuel, I have very few callers, tor pretty nearly everybody is prospering to a greater or leas degree and the others have already been discovered and looked after by the policemen assigned to that duty. We are doing all we ¢an to mieet the absolute needs of the deserving, but we are going no her than that. I read in The Bee a statement by Commissioner Connolly that the city drew $10,000 worth of supplies from the county store last winter. Such talk is bosh. The eity didn't draw $1,000 worth, needed the supplies, and needed them right away. The policemen, knowing the people and the conditions on their beats, are able to readily learn of cases of real need. The county is apt to require three or four days' time to make ‘Inspection,’ and meanwhile the destitute might starve or freeze. ‘MARRYING BUSINESS IS DULL Vielent and Sudden Slump After the Rush Day Before Christe = There is a violent, sudden &nd woeful slump in the marrying business. ading Joiners aver that if experience not taught them to stere away some of the Christmas profits they would starve be- tween then and New Year. Last Wednes- day there were fourteen licenses fssued by Clerk Morrill, and seven of the pairs were married by County Judge Vinsonhaler before they left the court house. Sat- urday there was but one license lssued and no wedding bells at all at the temple of Justice. s The demand for econjugal certificates is always large the day preceding a holiday. Even on July 3, frequently so hot that the groom's collar is prostrate before the mony, the couples will come just the e and demand a chance in the great mble. Already this month 106 licenses | bave been issued, and the total for the year is 1,319, which lacks but twenty-five of equaling the banner year, 1898. FIREMEN SAVE FOLL'S LIFE Find Frenchman Lylng o Stupor as His Bed Burns, Floor in The timely arrival of the police and the fire department probably saved Emil Foll, & Prenchman who was rooming at 317 South Tenth street, from suffocating yester- day morning. Foll went to bed Fri- day night intoxicated. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning smoke was seen issuing from his room. The de- partment was summoned and the firemen discovered Foll lying in & stupor on the floor. The bed was in flames and burning flarcely. Foll was found te have been badly burned on his left leg, arm and hand. His face was also cut. The origin of the fire was the upsetting of the lamp. The victim was taken to the police station by the offi- cers and Drs. Hahn and Mick dressed his Injurtes. Realty Transfors for the Week.

Mrs. Jessle Winchester, cannected with PAPERS ARE TO PROVE UP Police Board to Hear Protests from News- papers Next Monday. BROATCH THREATENS SODA FOUNTAINS Suddenly Awnkens to the Seeret of Thelr Prosperity and Proposes to Make Them Take Out Saloon Licenses It is presumed that next Monday evening will witness a showing of hands by the | publishing motices of applications for liquor licenses, beeause at Friday night's meeting of the Hoard of Fire and Police Commis- sioners that evening was determined upon as the time for hearings on the protests filed by two rival sheets against granting licenses to fitteen of those who had adver- tised in The Bee alone. Ten of these were protasted againet by both the World-Herald and News, three by the News alone and two by the World- Herald alone. The protests made simply the general clalm that the papers fling them had each the largest cireulation in Douglas county of any paper printed in that county. Nome But License Matters. The board devoted its entire session to Hquor license matters. It overruled the old protests against the granting of licenses to Henry Rohlft for his place at 303 North Sixteenth street and to N. V. Halter & Co. of 1402 Douglas street, granting the appli- catfons of ‘both. Other Ilicemses were granted Charles Sorenson, Washington hall; Pabst Brewlng company, 203 North Six- teonth; M. Mullen, 301 North Sixteenth; Minna Wirth, 324 South Tenth; Jacob M. Krug, Twenty-fourth and Hickory; Nat Brown, 311 South Fourteenth; Willtlam J. Magee, 1202 Douglas, and Frank Barker, 613 South Thirteenth. The granting of Barker's license leaves a distinct impression in the mind of Frank H. Mathis that he is working against heavy 0dds, for he applied for license to sell liquor at 611 South Thirteenth, directly across the alley from Barker's saloon, and was refused. It is understood that the main troubls lay in the fact that Mathis was trying to break into the charmed circle with the Amber fuds of a LaCrosse company and that home industry was butting him back At every paint. He filed a petition with thirty-two signers or two more than the law requires. Home industry whispered things in the ears of four of the signers and they withdrew. Mathis filed four new names; home industry again whispered and five withdrew. Mathis filed three new names; again home industry made a few sub rosa remarks and two withdrew. At the same time there was filed a protest signed by twenty of the abstemious and in- dignant residents of that prohibitfon dis- trict, who could tolerate the existence of no institutions of iniquity in their neigh- borhood—that 1s, nome except Barker's. Then Mathis gave up the ghost and the board had it duly entered upon its books that his application was refused because he had tot a sufficient number of signers on his petition and further, that it was pro- tested. Soda Fou After one of the seances fn the dark room Friday evening Medium W .J. Broatch whis- pered the news that the beard had seen a great light and is about to de things to the soda fountain men. From the realms of the occult had come a divulgence that there is more in a sherry flip than shows on its face, and the spirits had commandeéd the board to let the totally unsuspecting and dense pub- lic know of this by requiring the flippist, or the man who pays his salary and the bill for Iaundering his pale vests, the same $1,000 license that is required of those who sell flips under a more common name and disguise not the naked liquor. This plan, however, is still the exclusive property of the magiclans of the board and the genil of Spiritland. It hasn’t been put onto paper and was not discussed during the few moments that the wonder-weavers were visible to the nakad eye Friday night. It Is told that there are fifty-five drug- gists and other soda fountain proprietors who are selling drinks containing spirit- uous liquors over their counters, but paying only the $10 druggist's permit fnstead of the $1,000 saloonist’s Iicense. The United States government charges both $25, making no distinction. It is understood that a woon as convenfent Medium Broateh will lead the other magicians around to each of these fifty-five dispensaries and ascertain by the only sure method just what truth there is in this shocking and entirely new discovery of his. CATTLE MUST BE KILLED Dr. Sulmom Says Thus Alome Can Disease Be Stamped Out. n Revelations. BOSTON, Dec. 27.—Dr. D. E. Salmon has issued a statement regarding the work of exterminating the foot and mouth disease. He saye: We are obliged to face the fact that there are only two courses to pursue. Bither the diseased animals must all be the contagion stamped out immediately, o we must sit down and watch the disease ang v by auarantne to prevent its spreading. How long the quarantine would be prolonged in that case, and how mueh the disease would spread, cannot possibly be foretold. It is certain that everythin that delays the operation of killing an disintection will proleng the quarantine 'un to the extent that such work fs de- layed, and the $100,000 a'day loss, more or less, to the state will continue for a cor- respondingly longer period.
