IfHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 11 190 HOMACETO IMPERIAL SAMSO Mighty Throng Gathers at the Oitadel Under His Bdiot. ELEVEN HUNDRED AND MORE KNIGHTS Roll of Retalners of Ak Ben VINI Has Reached Goodly Number, but Greater Activity 1a Urged Knights, And when Phoebus Apollo had driven his steeds far beyond the western limit of the world, and the artificers and traffickers in wares and goods bad withdrawn from the market place, behold there was a sound of great mirth and revelry at the citadel of the imperial city. For therein had gathered of the chosen citizens a goodly throng, whose hearts were merry with a great gladness, and who did homage before the mighty and imperial master of the world. And their rejoicing was mot confined, but was the more great and up- 1ifting because the legions had returned to the imperial city with their arms bound in laurels and their shields wreathed with bays. And with them they brought eap- tive a herde of barbarians who had vainly resisted the pulssant and masterful decree of the great Samson, whose name is hon- ored above all others but the king, Ak- Sar-Ben VIIl—may his name ever be blessed—and whose voloe Is the volce of the mighty and resistless monarch of the realm. And with these captives were those who had reviled and.contdmaciously re- jected the edict. These fellows, whose thoughts are of evil and whose hearts turn to destruction, were safely confined that they might grace a Roman holiday. And with one acclaim did the multitude lift up its volee when the decres of the noble Samson was made known, that the mal- contents should be put to the test. 80 it came to pass that in the arena they were given to feel of the power of the im- perial one whose will they had in thelr ignorance so boldly defied. Nor aid they lack in valor, but showed such mettle that with admiration were they who sur- vived received to knighthood and citizan- ship. And all of them wrought well and nobly in the arena, but did not never so well as him who is Knight Pritchett and who proved he is a doughty knight and one well endowed by the gods with those qualities of mind and graces of body that denote one who does not willingly let go | when he has a good thing within his grasp. Prosperity Blesseth the Realm, And when the test had been made did the noble muft! announce to those who were assembled about his station that to the number of mexivi had the knights paid the tribute of coin current in the market place, and that this number 1s by 466 greater than wers fully pald members on the same date Ilawdkaypar. When initlation ceased in 1 but 28 knights had paid up. It is the de- sire that the full 1500 be enrolled before September 1, and every knight is urged to | contribute his efforts to this end. The an- nouncement was received with much ap- plause. Judge D. M. Vinsonhaler was called upon for a speech, but let himself off by saying that he heartily endorsed all that the in- stitution stands for, and is always willing to ald in pushing it forward. Rev. Cliftord Snowden of Chicago quoted from that other noble Roman and preacher of twenty centurles ago, “I am a citizan of no mean city,” and proceeded to hurl bouquets at Omaha in a gladsome pro- fusion. He enthusiastically complimented the knights on the order, saying that in all his travels and all his studies he had never read of or encountered so unique and alto- gether satisfactory a method of drawing together the people and advertising the community. He expressed his thanks to the friend who had ‘“Inveigled” him into joining, and congratulated the knights that they havé the privilege in living In a city ‘where the public spirit is not deadenéd by the size of the town. Others with the Glad Mit, C. A. Berry of Casey, Ia., added his en- dorsement to the words of Rev. Snowden, and sald he was glad he came. Frank Broadwell spoke of the unifying influence of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the great power for good it has been in the com- munity. BEd P. Smith impressed on the visitors the fact that Ak-Sar-Ben represents the uctive business life of Omaha, and that the men who have made the city what it is are the men who have made Ak-Sar-Ben B success. Rome Miller sald he was glad, after a long trip through the eastern and Cana- dlan citles, to get back to Omaha. Every time he goes away, he said, he returns a better and more loyal citizen of Omaha. He spoke of two things his recent journey had impressed upon him as Omaha's great- est needs—a good hotel and the perfection of the boulevard and park system. The latter he urged as being a public duty, and said if it could not be secured by taxa- tion, then it ought to be by subseription. He would gladly subscribe to the end of baving the boulevard system made whole. George J. Bternsdorf sald that he had heard of Ak-Sar-8en In Boston and in San Francisco, and everywhere he went, so that he still felt like a citizen of Oma although long since hé had gone from here, first to Chicago and then to San Francisco. He admitted a pride in Omaha, and urged the knights to persist in their work. One of the largest crowds of the season ‘was present, the delightfully cool night — e e CURE FOR HAY FEVER Sherman & McComuell Say Hyomel The season for hay fever is almost at Band and many people feel that they will be obliged to leave town in order to avoid the sneezing, watery eyes and other an- noying symptoms of this disagreeable summer disease, Sherman & MecConnell wish us to an- nounce that when Hyomel is used, either #s a preventive or cure, there will hay fever.

Then came Queenan, O Connor and Broderick with motions for crosswalks When the clerk finished reading all these papers the mayor remarked that it would take more than oge lumber yard to supply the material, to say nothing of the cost of laying the walks Broderick demanded that watchmen be placed at rallroad crossings, and as this is considered important the city clerk was directed to notify all railroads passing through South Omaha to maintain watch- men at grade crossings A week ago a communfcation was re- ferred to City Attorney Murdock regard- ing the drafting of an ordinance for the laying of a two-plank walk on the north side of U street between Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets.

He fur- ther say sthat U street is Incorporated in grading district No. 19, and therefore he declines to draw the ordinance as directed, Only permanent sidewalks can be lald in this district A demand Is to be made of the street-car company to have two cars run on the Q- street line west of Twenty-seventh street. Now there is only one car and the service, 80 it Is stated, Is practically worthless.

DON'T GET IN A SWEAT Perspiration—"sweat"” is what the Bible and we common peo- ple call it—is a way nature has of driving out of the body refuse that has no business there. We sweat more in summer, because, in the overheated bowels, undigested food ferments more than in winter and produces irritating acids and gases. The uickly wels, overworked, try to relieve themselves by vielent convulsions, causing terrible gripes and colics, and diarrhoeal discharges so acid as to make you sore, and leaving the intestines weak and worn out, Nature assists body-cleaning by sending the filth out through the pores of the skin, "It is not safe to stop perspiring altogether but most of the impure mattef should be sent out by natural move- ments of the bowels, and the offensive, ill-smelling, linen-staining sweat done away with. Keep your bowels strong all summer with the pleasant, candy cathartic ASCARETS, that clean the system and don’t allow the excrement to be sweated out through the pores.
