P THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN ESDAY, MARCH 4 Drive away you COMMERCIAL (LUB BANQUET Last of the 1002 Series Given at the Olub Rooms Last Night. S / NEEDS OF THE BODY ARE DISCUSSED Speakers Talk of the Achlevements of the Organization and What Do 1f Its Mem- bers Pull Together, it May . The Omaha Commercial club’s closing banquet for the season of 1902 was given last night at the club rooms and was the most pretentious of the scason. The newly renovated rooms were used for the first time at a meeting of this kind. About 125 members of the club and invited guests were seated around the tables, which were decorated with flowers and lights, one of the most pleasing sets belng a vase of flowers and electric lights at the prinelyal table. It was 9 o'clock when Arthur C. Smith, president of the club, called the guests to order and began to “talk a little shop,” saylng the club now has 480 members, 105 having been added since the beginning of the year. He called on the members to give the club, and particularly the mid-day luncheon, more active support and to help increase the membership of the organiza- tion—all to “pull for Omal He closed by Introducing Howard H. Baldrege, toas master of the evening. Mr. Baldrege sald tbat in meetings of this kind there is an opportunity for per- sons to take stock of their achlevements and get together with their fellows for the purpose of coming to a better understand- ing’ with each other. He introduced Fred F. Paffenrath, who was to respond to the toast, “C. C. C.”" which extended became “Commercial Club Critie Paffenrath on the Critl Mr. Paffenrath sald that there comes a time in the life of every organization when it should meditate on the past and plan for the future in order to avold past mistakes; that the organization cannot be infallible, but it should be the object of the mem- bers to reduce mistakes to the minimum, He sald that as chairman of the member- ship committee he had heard many com- plaints, some possibly justifiable, others captious. The minor criticisms are not worthy of consideration, but others, which should recelve attention are: The club lacks the prestige of simllar clube in other clties, that it cares for but one interest, that it s mot always alive to its possi- bilities and tkat a complete Yeorganization 18 necessary. “If these criticisms are true even in part,” he sald, “we should chan It the club has falled to act fully up to Its possibilities as a civic soclety now is a time to take action.” John L. Kennedy was introduced as one . Who had come to Omaha with the Lewls nd Clark expedition, where he had discov- ed the fountain of perpetual youth. His toast was, “Omaba, Past, Present and Future.” He recalled the achiévements of the city from 1883 to 1903—a magnificent Arowth in spite of all that has been sald. If Omaha does as well in the next twenty years as It has done in the last twenty {years we will have In Omaha and South A ppr————— : FREE TO EVERYONE. nd Learn How You May Pro- eure It. The question of why one man succeeds and another fails is a problem that has puz- ales philosophers for centuries. One man attalns riches and position, while his neigh- bor, who started with seemingly the same and better opportunities, exists, in poverty and obscurity. -~ No man can win success who Is suftering from an irritating and nerve-racking disease, and the man who has the qualitics of success within him would be quick to recognizo this fact and selze the best remedy to eradicate the trouble A person afflicted with a serious case of hemorrhoids, or piles, is handicapped in the race for power and advancement. It is impossible to concentrate the mental en- ergies when this dreadful trouble is sap- ping the vital forces. To show how easily this success destroying trouble can be over- come, we publish the following letter from a prominent Indiana man “When I recefved the former letter and booklet on ‘Plles, Their Nature, Cause and Cure,' I was In a critical condition. Ulcers to the number of seven had formed on the inside of the rectum, culminating in a large tumor on the outside, resembling fistula. 1 suffered the most excrutiating pain, could t Do rest day or night. After reading the booklet I sent to my druggist, but he happened to be out of Pyramid Pile Cure just at that time. However, I obtained a part of a box from my brother-in-law and began thelr use.

AYER 00., Lowell, Mass. r Cough Omaha at least 500,000 people. ““The worst enemies Omaha has today are to be found within the city limits," sald Mr. Kennedy. “If we are genuinely fn earnest about push- ing the city ahead we should determine what to Ao—that which fs near at hand is the best. First we should complete the Auditorium. After the Auditorium is built let us go out and build a first-class hotel. There is nothing that the Commercfal club could do which would go o far toward glving Omaha a good name abroad. Then let us stop belittling Omaha ourselves. Let us point to things we have done, not what we have failed to do. Then take more active interest in city politics—don't be afrald of being called a politician.” Theaters Looking Up. Carl Reiter, who was assigned to the toast, “The Theatrical Interests of Omaha," said that in the last three years the theaters of Omaba have improved wonderfully as business enterprises, showing that the peo- ple are better able to afford luxuries. ‘The last speaker was Dr. J. E. Roberts, pastor of the Church ot This World, of Kansas City, who spoke ot “Robert Inger- soll and His Time.” The speaker pald tribute to the memory and works of the elo- quent champlon of free thought, saying that he struck the shackles of prejudice and superstition trom minds heid In thrall by their popular ideas of religion, and had, more than any other man, forced the churches to change their creeds, bringing them closer into harmony with reason. He denfed that Ingersoll was an iconocla: solely, but sald that where he destroyed blind faith he reared a temple to reason which In time would conquer the world. He ridiculed the preachers who had a tempted to answer Ingereoll's arguments and id that at one time a Baptist preacher had attempted to prepare an an- swer which was with the others demol- ished by the keen logic of Ingersoll. . VERDICT HOLDS - M'GUIGAN Jury Recommends that the r Be Held With- out Bail, Pri The coroner's jury in the case of Patrick Murphy, who was stabbed to death during a fight near the corner of Fourteenth and Howard streets last Saturday night, ren- dered {ts verdict Tuesday afternoon. The Jury found “that the sald Patrick Murphy came to his death at 1324 Howard street between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, on the evening of February 28, from a stab wound in the region of the heart, inflicted by a kife or some other sharp instrument in the hands of Thomas McGuigas The jury recommended that McGuigan be held in custody without bail. One of the features of the inquest was the testimony offered by John Turner, a hostler In the livery barn near which the tragedy occurred. Turner testified that Murphy fell upon his face when he expired and that he had choked McGuigan nearly into insensibility before the stabbing oc- curred. Greatly Benefited by Chamberlal Cough Remedy, Mrs. M. A. Clarke, writing from Timberry Range, N. 8. W., Australia, under date of October 29, 1902, says: “I wish to inform you of the wonderful benefit I recelved from your valuable medi- cine.

CARRYING CAMPAICN MOME Real Estate Exchange Will Push Its Tax Fight with Greater Vigor. PEOPLE TO BE GIVEN EXACT INFORMATION State Will Be Flooded with Cire Showing What H. R. 330 Means Each Community Dollars and ¢ ™ to in nts, The actlon of the house of representa- tives of the state in Indeflaitely postponing house roll 330 found the tax committee of the Omaha Real Estate exchange in a measure prepared for the action and as 000 a8 & number of the members could get together the plan which will be pursued in the next two weeks was mapped out. This plan contemplates nothing less than an appeal to the constituents of the repre- sentatives directly. Circulars are now pre- pared, using as their basis the figures se- cured by Mr. Ure a week ago, which show the amount of taxes the railroads evade each county, which the taxpayers have to pay to make up the total cost of the county and municipal governments. This circular will contain words as follows “Your representative by his vote March has cost the taxpayers of your county $— per annum.” Then will follow a statement of the total assessed valuation of the county in which the circular is to be used, the assessed valuation of the rallroad property in the county, the total of the taxes levied, with the total levied upon rallroad property, both for county and municipal purposes. In the majority of cases the total tax levied is not in pro- portion to the assessed valuation for county purposes. while for municipal purposes it is much below the proportionai rate. No Polities In It With the analysis of the vote of the house the committee has decided that there is no polities in the fight and will use every effort in its power to have the cir- culars placed in circulation throughout the state. For this reason the chairman and secretary of the committee, with the presi- dent of the exchange, all republicans, cailed upon C. J. Smyth yesterday after- noon and will secure from Dr. P. L. Iall of Lincoln, chairman of the democratic state central committee, through Mr. Smyth, the names and addresses of each of the members of the chairmen of the fusion central commictee in each county, and to them will be sent the circulars in those counties which are represented by re- publican members who voted for the post- ponement of the bill. “There is no politics in this fight,” said a member of the committee, and we are not going Into politics, but we are using the instruments which are placed-in our hands. The fusionists may, for political reason: be willing to circulate this informatior and we do not care why they do it, for we are convinced that the people will realize that by their votes the membirs of the legislature from their counties falled to decrease the burden of taxes which their constituents are now compelled to bear by reason of the evasion of the railroads.” The committee already has a statement of the condition in about forty of the ninety counties. These statements, show- ing the exact condition in each county, will probably be placed in the hands of the printers this morning and sent out imme- diately. The Information from the other counties will be received continuously and printed as fast as it can be tabulated. In those counties whose representatives are fusionists opposed to the bifl, ‘the cir- culation of the circulars will be placed in other hands, and by the end of the week the committee expects to show the voters of each county the amount of money the rep- resentatives who voted against the bill have voted from the pockets of the taxpayers of the cities and villages of the state and into the pockets of the rallroads. According to statements made in Omaha yesterday, the condition of the represent- ative who lives at Rulo is peculiarly un- fortunate from the standpoint of his con- stituents. Sald C. J. Smyth: ‘At this time I am engaged in a case in which we seek to have the village of Rulo glven power to levy a tax upon the western end of the railroad bridge at that city. The village of Rulo, the precinct of Rulo, the school district of which the rormer is a part and the county of Richardson have voted money to have the case tried. This Dbill, It enacted, would give the ety what it desires, but this representative voted di- rectly against the measure.' It is estimated that about 150,000 eir- culars will be required by the committee to reach the voters, as in addition to these each newspaper which favors equality in taxation will be asked to print the facts showing the condition in its county. TRAINING SCHOOLS POPULAR Supert Exte: dent Pearse Tells of Thelr n Citfes He Vis- Recently, “Manual end Industrial training in the public schools is spreading over the coun- try at @ rapld rate,” sald Superintendent of Instruction Pearse, who recently re. turged from a trip in the east. “The edu- cation that traine *he hand {s becoming more important in consideration nearly everywhere. In St. Louls, for instance, where one high school has been n.ade to suffice for a oity of 600,600 population, preparations for two new high schools are being made and each will have mechanical training departments, and & like depart- ment is to be fnstallcd in the old high school.” Among the schools the superintendent visited was the domestic solpnce and man- ual training school at Evanston, Ill., which was built and equipped by a wealthy phil- anthropist and his wite. Traffing for both boys and girls are provided and the scheol is a kind of industrial center where the classes from the other schools come once & week to recelve this kind of education. At the Indianapolls manual training high school, where nearly 1,400 students attend, a special two and one-half years' cours is provided for girls. The first year Ja de- voted to teaching, sewing and plain dre making, the second to cooking and the last half year to domestic hygeine and home nursing. The attendance has been increas- Ing with big strides ever since the school ‘was opened. R H. Z.

Then with a flexible knife rub in two ounces of butter. Mix to a soft dough (one that will roll sily without pressure), with very cold milk Roll lightly or pat out In two layers; put one into a square baking tin and brush the top well with softened but- ter; place the other portion of dough on top of the first and bake in a moderately quick oven. Grate half of the yellow peel from a large orange, then cut the orange in halt and scrape out the pulp and add to the pulp of four ripe babanas rubbed through a sieve and swewten to sult the taste. Have this mixture fce cold and then stir in gently a cuptul of dry, whipped cream. Spread between and on top of layers of cake and serve with plain sweet cream. Prune Shortcake—After soaking over night, stew or steam a pound of prunes in double boiler until soft. Turn out and strain the juice. ~ Put later in a saucepan with half a cup of sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved, then let simmer while you remove stones from the prunes; add frult to the syrup and cook gently for ten min- utes longer. You can add a little lemon julce, sherry or stick cinnamon for flavor- ing or leave the fruit unflavored. Make a milk biscuit crust, using double quantity of shortening or leave out shortening and mix with cream Instead of milk. Bake in a biscuit pan in one layer, and when done tear open; spread quickly with softened butter and spread each portion with the prunes. Serve with plain, sweet cream or heap whipped cream over the prunes and serve hot. Peach Shortcake—This is considered a real orthodox “short” cake, but the very ingredient that makes it consistent with the real meaning of the name given this class of cakes, for the same reason places it among the condemmed ples. We give it for the benefit of those who have good digestion and no seruples in regard to eat. ing pastries. For the cake part take three-quarters of & pound of sifted flour; hub into this half a pound of butter. Make a hollow in the center of the flour and Into this pour gradu- ally, while mixing, about a cup of ice water. Mix to a soft dough; then turn out on a floured board and roll out lightly and fold as in making puff paste, Roll and fold sev- eral times in order to bave a flaky orust, then fold up and let it stand in a very cold place five minutes; then roll it out about quarter of an inch thick and bake in a shal- low tin. When done split the cake in twi but do not use a knjfe, and spread the lower half first with soft butter, then with canned or cooked dried peaches, then put om the upper halt with crumb side uppermost and spread with more pegches.

Ves ot Published by Putnam. “The New Boy at Dale,” by Charles Edward Rich, je an interesting book for boys, full of fun and humor. Giovanni Martin, the hero, is the kidnaped son of rich parents; he grows up under the care, or rather the neglect, of an Itallan fruit peddler, but harassed by bis treatment he joins a circus and becomes & tumbler of much ability. But such a life is not suited to him; he is bright at his books restless, and soon selzes his first opportu- nity to leave it. Having saved a little girl from the hands of two kidnapers, Glovanni 1s rewarded by the offer of a year's study at Dale, a fine boye' academy. His benefactors turn out to be his real parents, but this fs not discovered until the end of the book. Meanwhile Giovanni makes a reputation for himself at school, because of his strength and the fine physical training which he received at the circus. There are sham battles with Weston, the rival school in town; there are “feed rushes,” night raids on the boathouse at Dale, water races and experiences under ground. Published by Harpers. Thackeray's daugiter, Mrs. Richmond Ritchie, has written an Interesting preface to a new edition of “A Week in a French Country House," by Adelaide Sartoris, a favorite volume with many who are fa- miliar with the social life and times of the Kembles. Mrs. Ritchie speaks of her notes with some modesty, as being slight, but she adds truly, that such as they are, they indicate something of that vivid life, tull of beauty of impression, both reason- able and unreasonable, of fine critielsm ot teeling of that home of which the master and mistress were especially hosts of mark. It is & book which should not be overlooked by lovers of the stage as well as those who are interested in the reminiscences of famous literary men and women.

It is worthy of remark that almost all our naval history of any importance up to the time of the civil war, with the exception of the bat- tles on Lakes Erle and Champlain, has been comprised In actlons between single ships. This cxplains the author's method | treating the career of our more famous ¢hips separately and as units rather than merging them In a general naval history, as has been the method heretofore. Bketches of some of the confederate ships of war have been included on the ground that those ships were commanded by Amer- ican officers trained in our naval service, whose bravery, skill and endurance were part of a common heritage of which we may be justly proud.
