L] i e — FIFTEEN HUNDRED ENICATS Ak-Bar-Ben IX Has Record Retinue to Begin His Reign. JOYOUS MEETING AT THE DEN LAST NIGHT the Mafti cem. " by thing to the Galety of the Oee Fifteen hundred twenty-eight! More than two dozen to the good, the muster roll of Knights of Ak-S8ar-Ben for the relgn of Ak-Sar-Ben 1X was closed last night, with specinl services at the den, @uring the progress of which the erstwhile stern and haughty Samson unbent for the nonce and made merry with his fellow subjects of his graclous majesty. It 1s whispered that some of the more sedate knights who attended the court feit shocked at one stage of the proceedings. It may be that they merely felt the effect of that current of satisfaction that seemed o permeate the entire assemblage. It had plensed the graclous chamberlain of the court and the most noble mufti to re- arrange some portions of the proceedings, to the end that none of the Inftiate en- jJoyed any advantage over their fellows. It wns_this that most affected the feelings of those who had aught to say on the tople, but as the delights were not less than the surprise, the matter was forgotten in the proceedings. It was the announcement by the grand muft! that the number set at the beginning of the season for the minimum limit had been exceeded that drew forth the ap- plause, It is only falr to state that this number exceeds by many the membership of any former year, save that of the Trans- misstssippl exposition, and Is double that of several former years. Only those who have paid all fees are included in the count. Call for a Rehea: It was also announced during the evening that all who Intend to participate In the parade, horsemen and others, are expected to meet at the Den pn Monday night next for rehearsa Doctors were the guests of the evening, the Missouri Valley Medical soclety having been invited to attend. And they were there In force. To greet the medicine men came out the full force of local knight- hood, with a host of bthers from out of town, so that the gathering was one of the greatest In every way ever seen under that roof. While the mysteries of the Roman revival were explained to those who ®de- sired the knowledge, the others were en- tertalned with that easy hospitality that has made Samson famous as a host throughout the length and breadth of the Jand. It was late before the lights were blown out, but the members of the hustling committee lald down thelr work for the year with the approval of the Board of Governors, and all went home well ploased that a new era in the Kingdom of Quivera had been so auspiciously marked. Chief among the speakers of the evening was Mayor E. C. Caldwell of Sioux City, who happily set forth his fealty to Ak-Sar- Ben, though a dweller in a far-off country. Dr, Donald Macrae of Council Blufts spoke for the medical fraternity present as guests, and Carl Relter and Frank Dunlap contributed to the evening's enjoyment only they can. e ———— A Rose by any other name would smell a8 sweet, and Champagne—well, buy Cook’s Imperial. — CROWDS THRONG THE STORE Many People Attend the Ope _People’'s Furniture pet Company. s of Car- While the clty In general Monday was bleak and cheerless, the People's Store, facing on Sixteenth and Farnam streets, near the Intersection, was an oasis of lighted warmth and bustling crowds. It was the annual fall opening which the management of this popular store has found to be such a winner with Its ous- stomers and their friends, giving them a chance to see all the newest and best things of the winter stock under the most fayorable conditions. The windows, the decorations of the lower floor and the large cloak, sult and millinery department on the second floor soemed to be the most popular, The narth window contained a party of as well gowned and handsome ‘‘women’ as could be ,found in the oity. They were wax, but their modish ap- parel was the real thing and displayed to its best before draperies of rich scarlet. The opposito window displayed a bunch of new heating staves and at the other si of the glass fine furniture and a back- ground of pale green and cream panels. Inside the entrance on. either hand were massed palms and other green thing: Along the aisle, lined with new furniture, were white silk draperies fringed with green betweer the white pillars and above these red cross pleces, surmounted with crossed flags °nd wreathbd inscriptions, The display of new carpets on the fourth floor, the bedrdom and parlor furniture on the third, the dining room and fancy furni. ture on the first and the stove department in the wnnex all™came In for favorable notice from the crowd which even the inclement weather could not keep away. There was an orchestral concert during the afternoon, but the principal part of ti opening was from 7 unift, 10 o'clock, when Abbott's band will play on the out- side and follow with an orchestral concert within. A very neat souvenir In the form of a colored Nthograph mounted on a gray oard, called “Little Sweethearts,” and Af- teen by twenty inches In size, was in de- mand. The management had 1,000 of these for distribution. Do Not Dose the Stomach Cure Catarrh by Nature's Own Method ~Every Breath of Hyomel Brings Rellef. Nearly every one who has catarrh knows bow foolish it is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach, Temporary relief may be given, but a cure seldom comes. Until recently your physiclan would have said the only way to eure catarrh would be to have a change of climate; but now with Hyome! you can carry a heaith giving climate in your vest pocket and by breath- ing it & few minutes four times & day s00n cure yourself. The complete Hyomel outfit costs but $.00 and conelsts of an inhaler that can be carrled In the vest pocket, a medicine ~dropper and & bottle of Hyomel. The in- haler lasts & lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 8 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies afivertised for the cure of catarrh, and ls the only ome that follows nature in her method of treat- ing @iseases of the respiratory ergans. Fherman & MeCorsell Drug Co., 10th and Dodge streets, Omsha, have sold a great many Hyomel outits and the more they sell, the more conv'nced they are that they are perfectly safe in guarantecing to re- fund the money if Hyomel does not cure. WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The neighboring states are not to be out- done by Nebraska in the entertainment of prominent women at their state meetings this fall and the recently announced out- line of the Colorado program indicates that their meeting I8 to be one of especial at- tractions. Among the viefting women will be Mrs, Denison, president of the General Federation; Mrs. Robert Burdette of Pasa- dena, Cal, vice president of the General Federation; Mrs. Pennbacker, president of the Texas Federation; Mrs. James M Lewis, president of the Kansas Federation; Mra. Phillip N. Moore, president of the local blennial board of 8t. Louls and ex-presi- dent of the Missourl Federation; Mrs Coulter, president of the Utsh Federation and a member of the Uta legislature; Mrs. Dore Lyon and Miss Mary Hay of New York. The meeting will be held in Colorado Springs, September 28 to Oc- tober 1 A program commemorative of the life and work of Lucy Stone was glven by the Omaha Equality club Friday evening, the meeting being held in the parlors of the Young Men's Christian association, and was the first meeting of the fall. Mrs. George Tilden, president of the club, presided at a brief business session preceding the pro- gram. Mrs. J. C. Whinnery, Mrs. I. R. An- drews, Mrs. Getty W. Drury and Mrs. G W. Clarke were eleoted delegates to the coming state convention to be held at Ne- braska City October 7, 8 and §. It was decided to conduct a series of parlor meetings during this month, two of which will be held this month, the first at the home of Mrs. T. R. Ward, 2121 Wirt street, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the other at the home of Mrs. J. C. Whinnery, 8855 Seward street, at 8 o'clock Friday even- ing. Miss Laura Gregg will be the speaker at both meetings. Mrs, Clara Hoffman, recording secretary of the Natiopal Woman's Christian Temper- ence unfon, will speak this evening at § o' clock in the auditorium of the Fir: Methodist church, under the auspices of the local ‘union. Mrs. Hoffman is one of the best known speakers at the state con- vention, to be held at Lexington September 22-26. There will be no admission. The French department of the Woman's club will begin its year's work Tuesday, October 6 under the leadership of Mme, Borglum. The department has been reor- ganized and it is expected will do more ac- tive work this winter than ever before. Supreme grand chapter P. E. O. of Ne. braska will convene in Lincoln October §, 7 and 8, chapter K of Lincoln having ex- tended the invitation two years ago. (The visiting wornen are to be entertained at the hotels of the city and the local women are exerting themselves that the gathering may be a success in every respect. The soclety has grown rapidly of late aad it s oxpected that the coming meeting will give still greater impetus. The September meeting of the Visiting Nurses' assoclation will be held at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the parlor of the Paxton hotel. Not a little significance s attached to the announcement of the prospective tour of the southern atates to be made by Rev. Anna Shaw and Miss Kate Gordon this win- ter in the Interest of woman suffrage. They will start the last week of November and finish the tour the latter part of Decem- ber. There is probably no speaker in the suffrage organization better fitted to off- et tho conservatism of the southerners re- garding the advancement of women than its vice president, Miss Shaw, whose at- tractive personality, brilllancy and wit have won for her an enviable place on the lecture platform. She is to do the speak- ing and Miss Gordon will organize clubs. A southern woman herself, being a mem- ber of an old New Orleans family, Miss Gordon will undoubtedly gain favor where few others could and is espectally fitted to work among the women of the south. But even as presented by these two brilliant women it is most significant that the women of the south should wish it. Theo invitation of New Orleans to hold the na- tional suffrage meeting in that city last winter occasioned general surprise, but even after that it is doubtful If the con- templated tour would have been under- taken had not the women of the southern states been so roused during the past few years by the repeated defeat of their ef- forts for various educational measures, ef- forts to regulate child labor and in fact practically every other effort that has been made by them. The suffragists see even further than the interest of the south- ern women, however. Out of the attempted distranchisement of the negro complica- tions have arisen that are most favorable to the enfranchisement of women on a property or educational qualification in these states and every effort Is being made to bring the question to the favorable at- tention of the people. EIGHTH WARD REPUBLICANS Candidat Prospective Candi- dates Address a Large Ga & at the C1 Many candidates nddressed Bighth ward republicans in Wolf's hall at Twenty- second and Cuming atreets last night. The feature of the meeting was the sentiment tor harmony expressed by all speakers and applauded by the audience. W. G. Sears, candidate for district judge, was the first speaker and he devoted but a small portion of his remarks to himself, speaking for the whole ticket, A. C. Troup, also a oandidate for the district bench, followed with a eulogy of Mr. Sears, and sald there was not a single reason why a solitary republican vote should be ecast ather than for the nominees of the judicial convention. W. A. Redick, who said he was the only republican nominee born in Omaba, declared that the only question before the voters was whether they were to allow themsclves to be made catspaws for the sake of electing one or two demo- cratic judges. Others who spoke were A. H. Comstock and D. M. Haverly, candidates for clerk of the district court; Henry Stoddart, ean- didate for county judge; M. J. Kennard, for commissioner; R. O. Fink and L. N. Gonden, for county treasurer; W. O. Stock- ham, for county clerk; J. H. Tullls and E. J. Bodwell, for county superintendent of schools; James Allan, for sheriff, and the following aspirants for justice of the peace: C. H. Kubat, J. 8. Miller, C. M. Bachman, J. W. Kinkead, C. J.

SEPTEMBER 15, 1903, FOR AN OMAHA. BEAUTIFUL Federation of Improvement Olubs Takes Further Bteps in Its Work. JUNIOR CENTRAL LEAGUE TO BE FORMED Prestdent Slab Extending the Organizatio tivities, Which is Quickly Adopted, The Omaha Federation of Improvement Clubs met last evening at courtroom No. 3 in the court house, with President W. W. Slabaugh in the chair. Nearly all the im- provement clubs of the city were repre- sented and new accessions were made from the North End Improvement club in the persons of two delegates who were formally elected members. President Siabaugh stated that he would defer the appointment of the regular s and- ing committees, by the consent of the club, until the next meeting, as he hoped by that time that all the clubs of the city would be represented in the federation. Exception would be made, however, In regard to such committees as might be called upon to act In speclal matters needing Immediate at-) tention. The executive board was glven further time In which to secure a room for the permanent meetings of the board. It was stated by George Sancha, member of the speclal committee on rooms, that he had called upon the library board in reference to the use of a room in the library bufld- ing, but there was a doubt in the minds of some of the members of the library board as to whether they had the right to permit the use of the room to clubs that were not really of a literary character. An appeal will be made to the Board of Edu- cation for the use of the Board of Edu- cation room for a meeting place, but some doubt was expressed as to the success of this gffort from the recent action of the board in rescinding its permission grant- Ing the use of a room in schoolhouses for the West Omaha and Omaha View Im- provement clubs. An effort will be made to obtain permission from the Board of County Commissioners for the continued use of the courtroom in which the meetings have hitherto been held. The matter was left with the committee and the location of the next mecting will be given through the city papers. Street Rallway Extension, A resolution was presented by the Omaha View Improvement club asking the interces. sion of the Federated club in securing the extension of the Harney street rallway line from Parker street north on Thirty-third to Maple street and to ascertaln what legal steps were necessary to compel the street rallway company to fulflll the conditions of the franchise granted the company by the | city. The resolution was unanimously en- dorsed and the chair appointed Messrs. Sancha of the Omaha View club, Morearty of the North End Improvement club and Mr. Parsons of the Central Park club as a committee to look into the matter, President Slabaugh submitted a trio of resolutions, which are in effect that mem- bers of the Federated club submit articles to the secretary pertaining to municipal Iimprovements, and that steps be taken to secure their publication; that individual clubs shall submit in writing to the Federated club measures for general im- provements in which they desire the co- operation of the general club, and that the Federated club shall take steps toward encouraging the organization of a junior central league club and give it the moral support of the Federated club. All of the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Beauty at the Schools, A resolution was also adopted at the suggestion of Chalrman Blabaugh to the effect that a communication be addressed by this club to ‘the superintendent of the city schools asking that a portion of a day be set apart in the spring time in the publie schools for the purpose of instructing the school children on the subject of civie improvements. A committee consisting of Messrs. Blake, Helman and Charles John- son was appointed to place this matter be- tore the proper school authorities. The chalr further suggested that arrange- ments be made for calling a mass meeting of citizens interested.in civic improvements, the same to be held under the auspices of the Federated club, and that speakers of national repute, familiar with -the subject of civie improvements, be Invited to ad- drese the meeting, as well as members of the Omaha park commission, Board of Education, Real Estate exchange, Board of Public Works und Ak-Sar-Ben. The sug- gestion was unanimously adopted, and the chair announced in pursuance with the mo- ( tion that he would shortly designate a committee of five to devise ways and means for this meeting. The club then adjourned to meet Monday evening, October 5. The place of meeting will be named later. ROCK ISLAND SYSTEM. Coloniar Kates fo Caiifuraia, !

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMABA Complaint is Made of Banitary Oondition of the Rented Sohool Rooms. BOARD POWERLESS TO REMEDY THE EVIL City Council Tranwacts Considerable Routine Dusiness, Among Other Things Ordering Stagnant Water Drained Off. Along with the constant complaints of the crowded condition of the schools of this city comes another, which is made by puplls and parents and echoed by the phy- siclans of the city. 3 It {8 sald that in many of the rented rooms where school s belng held the sanitary condition is &0 poor as to be dangerous to the health of all who are forced to remain within the place during the school week. While in some it is worse than in others, generally It fs regarded as bad, and local physicians have stated that some epldemic may start at any time by reason of it, In one of the rooms used for school pur- poses it s safd the sanitary condition is especlally bad. This one is over Westcott's livery barn, 311 North Twaenty-fourth street. Visitors to this place are astounded at the manner in which the place Is fitted up. The toflet rooms are on the same floor as the school room. The room is close and stufty and from the toflet rooms at times comes a stench which is so disagreeable that open complaints are heard from. the schiool children who are forced to attend the place. 1 Parents complain that it requires the greastest efforts on thelr part to force children to attehd school in almost any of the rented rooms. None of them fs fitted properly for school purposes and teachers are forced to fight against Inconveniences mingled with the pranks of incensed chil- dren. Bome pArents have even gone so far as to take their children out of the schools entirely until such time as proper facllities are furnished. The Board of Education is sald to be powerless, It has done everything within its power to secure sultable rooms for the different schools, but all that seem to be obtainable are those that are unfitted for business purposes, and too dilapldated for household purposes. Until a new school is bullt in all probability the present state of affairs will be allowed to exist. City Council Meets, Although nothing of great Importance came up, the city council @id a lot of rou- tine business last evenipg, all members belng present. The council chamber was filled with indignant citizens from the vi- clnity of Thirty-seventh and L streets, where exists @ pool of stagnant water which, it is claimed, has caused several deaths and s directly responsible for much sickness. The delegation from that com- munity had the satisfaction of presenting its claims to the council and of hearing the street and alley committee Instructed to proceed at once to grant some relfef. An ordinance was introduced providing for the repeal of a recent ordinance con- demning the property through on N street from Twentieth. This repeal is made so that another ordinance can be Introduced in due time which will provide for the condemnation of & thirty-foot strip south of the Brubaker property, and thus con- summate the long lald plans for the open- ing of N street. to the river. Still amother important measure, by Ad- Kking, provides for the extension' of Thirty ninth street south from its present ter- minus at Corrigan Place to the open street below, and through the Hughes tract. This 18 the cornfleld where the recent attempt at assault occurred, and it has been much | complained of, so that it was deemed neces- sary to make an open way across that lonesome strip of land. O'Connor finally secured the passage of a resolution requiring the packers to extend the helght of their smokestacks to a rea- sonable distance. The ordinance regulating signs and fences was duly passed. Under this ordinance the obstructive signs must come down, and it will make a great change in the ‘ap- pearance of things throughout the city. On motion of Welsh, the city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for the laying of all permanent sidewalks for the present ye The councll night. adjourned until Monday Couneil Does Its Duty. The finance committee of the eity council last week entered Into a centract with the American Burety company to bond the po- Meemen of South Omaha, and this has been done in the manner authorized by law, The purported interview with a member of the TMire and Police board, published in an up- town sheet yesterday, to the effect that the council had done nothing with the matter, | caused much amusement about town yes- terday. The council has always been will- ing to have the police bonded and all of the members of the body thought this had been done. However, the Fire and Police board has held the applications of the police ever since It took up the reius of the city po- lice government and until & “howl” was raised about the misconduct of one officer, never intimated that the police had not been bonded. As it 1, the Fire and Police board still Lolds the applications for bonds of the policemen, notwithstanding the fact | police judge. that tha council had repeatedly’ asked for them. As fast as the Fire and Police board will divulge the names of the policemen bonds will be’issued. But even this they have thus far neglected to do. Boys Keep Up Work. New complaints were issued yesterday for the boys who are sald to be the principals in the many disturbances on Indlan Hill. One of the teachers was passing out of the West 8ide school when the boys, or at least two of them, appeared and after cursing and abusing her to thelr heart's content, assaulted her with sticks and stones. The name of one of them was obtained, and accordingly another warrant will be issued for Willle Feeney, aged 11 years. This is the fourth complaint that has been sworn to agalnst this boy, and the police h as many warrants for his arrest in their hands. Notwithstanding the fact that he has been repeatedly In that part of the town, he has never been apprehended. There is also a warrant out for his brother. There is a great deal of amusement cre- ated by the fact that the police acknowl- edge their fallure to apprehend these two small boys, as well as the rest of the or- ganized gang. The mother of the Feeney boy told the police officers that her boys were not staying at home any more. The facts of the boys' many acts will be lald before the county attorney and an effort made to gain his.co-operation in sending as many of them as the police succeed in capturing to the reform school. May Build Synagog Here. The Jewish population of South Omaha may, In the near future, bulld a synagog in this city. An organization has been completed and independent services will be held here from time to time. While no place has as yet been selected, it Is thought that the Odd Fellows' hall will be utilized It is the Intention of the con- temporarily. gre thelr own as soon as possible. site has as yet been selected, it is sald that they have secured almost enough by sub- scription to have the work done. Looking for Lui The police are still trying to locate An- drew Lundin, who disappeared last Friday. Lundin boarded near Twenty-fourth and Q streets,'and, on Friday was seen to enter a saloon neafby. That was the last seen of him. In his room at the boarding house he left his coat and vest, together with his watch and chain. 8o far as known he had but little money on his person. Friends of the missing man assert he has either be- come demented or has mét with foul play. He Is about 35 years of age, 6 feet 7 inche tall and welghs about 150 pounds. 8o far, the police have obtained no clew as to where he has gone. Still Looking for Assailant. ‘The police claim they have in no way quit looking for the assallant of the little Kroe- ger girl, and claim they stlll entertain hopes of his ultimate capture. Friends of the family, however, state that the possi- bility of his capture is most remote, as the little girl will never again be positive In her identification and that is all by which it can be determined when the right man is caught, If this ever happens. Btill the police are keeping up their efforts to lo- cate him. Crqp Players Fined, The seven colored men who were arrested Saturday night charged with running & “crap' game were tried In police court yes- tefday morning on a charge of vagrancy and each of them was fined. The men claimed that they were not gambling, but were merely collecting money from each member present with which to buy some beer. As the police found no “can” on the premises or other means of carrying the beer, this story was not belleved by the No effort was made to pros- egute under the statute, but the ordinance declaring every gambler to be a vagrant was brought into use.

The message stated briefly that it was not the real Elf who would call, but a man im- personating him and who it was belleved was up to some sore of chicanery. Mr. Woodard reported the matter immediately to the police, and, as the man representing himself as Theodore Eif was already in Jall on another charge, the matter of ap- prehending him was rendered easy. Purpose of His Scheme, The police say that Behrmar 4 purpose in palming himself off as Theodore Elf was to get certaln moncys which belonged o the real man of that name. It Is alleged that Behrman had Eif's mail forwarded here and that he has received four Wells- Fargo drafts for $0 >ach, which he has cashed at the express office of the com- pany. Behrman was a guest of the Mid- land hotel and on one occasion wanted to cash one of the drafts there, so the police have been informed. The represantation made of being a gen- eral agent is belleved by the police to have been merely a subterfuge which Behrman used to conceal his real motlve for coming to this city By advertising he made him- selt known as Theodore EIf, and, as con- siderable mail matter came to his address, the postoffice employes considered him a man of large business. His attempt to ewindle a young woman out of $%5, the police say, proved his Waterloo, she in- forming on him and causing his arrest. Detectives Mitchell and Davis were em- ployed on the new feature of the Behrman came and they discovered the facts regard- ing the Wells-Fargo drafts and reported them to headquarters. Behrman will be held at the station until the federal au- thorities take charge of him. The case, the police say, 1s now one of fraudulently ob- taining mall and the misappropriation of money sent through the mails, which takes the matter out of their hands.
