The woman was hurt by falling on the sidewalk at Eleventh and Harney streets and the claim grew from $1,000, when it was begun early in 1899 to $15,500, for which amount Julius 8. Cooley started suit in the federal court. He wants to compromise now for Improvers Heard From, A communication from the Southwest Improvement club stated that that or- ganization 1s opposed to new fire engine houses and garbage crematories, as “Omaha 1s sufficently in debt and we can wait longer.” The Silentium association, including 170 of the deaf, asks help from the city in securing a hall in which to meet, and Mrs. Mame Cassidy, a widow with two children, wants permission to sell cigars and to- bacco in the city hall. Both matters were referred to the committee on bylldings «nd property. In & communication some thirty “ladies and property owners” in the vicinity of the boulevard viaduct near Krig's brewery, asks for two electric lights on the via- duct.

Samuel 1. Gordon's bill for salary for January, 1903, as pollce judge, was sub- mitted, saluted and dispatched. A Serious Mistake. To the average man it seems childish to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes par- tieularly annoying to him little or no atten- tion ie given it. Often a cold contracted in the winter is allowed to run until the open- ing of spring. This is a grave mistake, even though the warm weather may bring rellef, the system s theraby weakened and rendered susceptible to dise A cold should never be neglected, whether it be a child or an adult who Is afflicted, as health and often life 18 risked.

Though it was his first appearance here, and despite the fact that he risked all by departing emphatically from the usual and expected array of recital selections, his work so thrilled the soul of the man that Garbril- owitsch won immediate apd fervent com- mendation. His all-pervading individuality was not to be resisted. It was by no means the stereotyped pro. gram of the virtuoso that Gabrilowitsch played. There was no time-honored se. quence of Lizt, Schumann, Mozart and Chopin. In fact, only the latter of these ‘was represented. The program throughout ‘was a series of bold sallies from the con- ventional. Its chief feature was that It was intensely classical. Gabrilowitsch off- ered numbers that Paderewski or Hoffman have never played on American tours, He even tempted fate to the uttermost by spen- ing his program with a number by Bach, that real test of a planist, yet a composer to whom the American public has never taken kindly. Technique is subordinate to melody with Gabrilowitsch. ~He Is fundamentally lyric in all his work. Yet he possesses the un- usual combination of fire and temperament with delicacy of touch. The tone coloring of the man is perhaps the most remark- able detall of all. His is a subtle touch, capable of at endless number of variations, from the caress to the hammer stroke. In the Beethoven selection was this most ap- parent, as the planist used fully twenty different ways of striking the keys in that rendition, yet retalned the form of the sonat! with remarkable perfection through- out. The number was well calculated to exhibit his great versatility and also his comprehensive interpretation. Many European masters consider this youthful planist the greatest of al! Chopin renderers. This opinion {s understood after hearing Part II of last night's pro- gram. The Chopin selections embraced ad- mirably the scope of that author, and here again s Gabrilowitsch the ploneer. Weak and efiminate in feature and body, Chopin ! yet had the soul of a lon, and this plan- ist put that into the numbers he played. From a remarkable portrayal of delicacy in the impromptu he swerved to a royal dash and fire in the scherzo. This Chopin group was the gem of the program. Gabrilowitsch's hotto would seem to be *No mannerisms; no encores,” for he sedu- lously avolds both. His athletic figure Is held at easy yet dignified poise at the piano, and he plays distinctively with his hands. Four times was he recalled to the platform after each of his earller numbers, yet he refused to play an encore till repeated calls following the Chopin compelled it. Then he gave Schumann's “Romance in F Sharp Major No. 2.” * The planist's own gavotte was bubbling with youth and enthusiasm, and reminded one much of the fhinuets of Beethoven. The Arensky number was marked chiefly in bringing out his lyric tendencies. The Henselt was a delicate breath, the zephyr of the evening. The soloist closed with the stupendous Rubenstein valse, where his great strength and fire came into full play. | Though but 25 years of age, this planist is already capable of vast depth, as w shown in the tremendous Bach number thi led the program. It is easy to sympathize, | at least, with the mamy predictions as to his final pre-eminence in his work Spectators' tickets to the Elks masquer- ade ball and entertainment, to be held at Ak-Sar-Ben hall February 23, may be pur- chased at Meyer & Dillon’s and Beaton & McGinn's drug store.

Willlams, Conneaut, | | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Octopus Appears in the Form of a Lanndry Combine. ADVANCES PRICE OF WASHING SHIRTS Omaha and South Omaha Laundrymen Said to Have Joined Hands to Boost Prices on Thel Work., Those who wear “‘boiled” shirts and cuffs and collars sent through a laundry will be been raised all along the line. The laundry where shirts were done up for 7 cents I | be the universal charge. Other garments | will be charged for accordingly. This raise is due, so It is stated, price of laundry supplies. Washhouse men | say that starch has gone up, and that sheet- { Ing used has also advanced in price. The | advance in supplies makes it compulsory | to advance the price on the work turned | out. While the laundries do not counte- | nance the idea of a trust, it is a fact that | thero is an agreement in South Omaha to advance prices. Letters have been sent out from Omaha | announcing to saloon men that on March 1 the price for bar towels would be in- creased $1 a month. This matter was t ken up yesterday by the Saloonkeepers’ union, and it was decided that the liquor dealers in the two Omahas would establish | a laundry of their own, and thus be inde- | pendent of the trust. While this latter matter is not in shape to discuss at the present time, it is understood that at a meeting to be held next week funds will | be raised for the purpose, and that an in- dependent laundry will soon be started by the unions mentloned. On the other hand, the individual who is compelled to send clothing to the laundry to be washed will have to pay the price designated by the combination. There fs | another peculiar feature of the trust, and that is if a man who has a laundry route is | discharged he cannot be,employed by any | other laundry for a period of six months. This is done, it is stated, to prevent one | popular solicitor from going to work for | another concern. The Laundry Workers' | unfon proposes taking this matter up and {will ask for a thorough invesiigati>n and | endeavor to have this clause omitted from | the agreement sald to have been made by employers in lcundries in the two Omahas. Halpin Hustling Bonds. Bdward Halpin, who was elected asses- eor for the Sixth ward, has for some months past been employed In Omaha, and now lives there. He was trylng yesterday to secure a bond as one of his bondsmen who had signed at first fafled to qualify., Now the question s raised as to whether Hal- pin can make the assessment in South Omaha in the spring, as he is practically a nonresident. Tt {s understood that objec- | tlons will be raised in case ne comes back | to South Omaha and attempts to make the | assessment. No one knows of Halpin's ever having pald any taxes to spenk of, and this will be against him when it comes to a show-down on April 1. Sheep Barns Completed. The big sheep barns destroyed by fire on KDccembPr 25 at the Union stock yards have been rebullt. Last night Chief Engineer King of the Stock Yards company stated that the big north barn is practically done. All it needs i{s a few finishing touches. Bheep were housed in it yesterday, so that it is really considered completed. The big barn and the annex will hold 80,000 sheep. In the rebuilding some improvements over the barns destroyed by fire have been made. There is a covered run way from the un- loading chutes to the barns, and this alds greatly in\the care of sheep coming in oft the range. While the shipments of sheep were not reduced to any extent on account of the burning of the barns word has been sent out all over {he west that the new barns are now ready and big shipments ar0 expected shortly. Deeds Filed Yesterday. Deeds granted by the city for a portion of Thirty-sixth street were flled yesterday by the Burlington road, and now the city officials will proceed to file the deeds granting to the city a portion of Boyd street. When these claims have been duly registered the transfer will be closed. In the meantime, the Burlington keeps. mov- ing along with its grading machives. Tt is expected that the heaviest part of the work will be finished by April 1. Magle City Gos 8o far no date has been set for the pre- liminary hearing of Patrick Shea.

Something You Can See In Any Res- taurant or Cafe. A physiclan puts the query: never noticed in any large restaurant hearty, vigorous, old men at the men whose ages run from 60 to S0 years, many of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none of them feehle or senile? ' Perbaps the spectacle is 8o common as to have escaped your observation' or com- ment, but nevertheless it {s an object les- son which means something. It you will notice what those hearty pld tellows are eating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new fangled health foods; on the of beef, a properly turned lofn of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not The point of ail this is that a vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food, and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran | erackers. There is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee and | many other good things are rank poisons, | but these cadaverous, sickly looking indi- | viduals are a walking condemnation of their own theorfes. Thée matter in a nutshell is that if the | digestive | stomach secretes the natural Julces In suficient quantity, any wholesome f00d will be properly digested; If the stom- ach does not do so, and certain foods cause distross, one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remqze all difficulty, because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro- | chloric acld, diastase and nux. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine, as they act almost entire upon the food eaten, digesting it thoroughly | and thus gives a much needed rest, and | glving an appetite for the next meal Of people who travel nine out of ten use Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time, and also having found out by experience that they are a safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to, at all hours and all kinds of food, the traveling public has for years pinned their fajth to Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages, and any druggist from Maine to California, if his opinion were asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for any stomach trouble. |BRIBERY CASES TO COME UP County Attorney About to Take Prosecution of South Omaha omci South Omaha school board sensations are crowding to the front again.
