GROSVENOR AS A PROPHET. The Oble Political Seer Seores fIn Every Running St. Louls Globe-Democrat As an election prophet General Grosvenor has practically hit the mark every time diiring the last dozen years. He may be A shade more conservative than formerly, for he placed Ohlo's majority at 80,000 this year. It proved to be 115,000, General Gros- venor, in a speech in the house, has put himself on fecord on the electoral vote In 1904 Hp makes the republican sure total 263. That would serve, as 239 is & majority. The general concedes 151 to the democrats and regards. 62 as doubtful. Against his Judgment the general places New York in the doubtful column, but if Tammany can double the majority given McClellan it might be enough. Maryland, Montana, Del- aware and Idaho are ranked as doubtful. But transferring all the doubtful st to the democratic side would not help that party, for the certain republican states foot up twenty-four more than enough to elect. The Grosvenor computation confirms the figures given by the Globe-Democrat re- cently to show that the democrats have not even a fighting chance unless they carry Tilinols as well as New York. It is as clear #s a simple sum in arithmetic that the democratic plan of campalgn must include & battle for the twenty-seven electoral votes of Iliinols. The slectoral table admits of no_ other arrangement, and that Hob- ce affords only the faintest glim- ma# Ot hope. Ilfnols republicans must, therefore, prepare for rather more storm and stress than usually falls to thelr share, Thelr majority of $,000 in 1902 was admira- ble and highly satisfactory. But' it any member of the party in the state is stir- Ting up dissension instead of working for harmony and & high tide of republican suc- cess next year, let him be placed under a strong light, in order to out what Is the matter with him and What is his pur- pose. — PERSONAL NOTES.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS President Zimman and Olerk Elbourn in War of Words. —— IS OVER GAS CONTRACT RESOLUTION Zimman Declines to Sign It Because It President Zimman was called upon by the council Tuesday night to explain why he had not signed the resolution passed Octo- ber 20, extending the contract with the Omaha Gas company. The president com- plied, making statements concetning the alleged improper handling of the docu- ment by City Clerk Elbourn and in the de- Late that followed personalities of a lively nature were exchanged. In the end the councll ordered the resolution. and the jour- nal approved the president kept his word in saying that he would not sign the reso- hution, Just after the gavel called the council to order Clerk Elbourn said he had an an- nouncement to make and stated that the president had refused to sign the docu- ments which he had at hand. Councilman Back mmediately called for an explana- tion from the president and Councilman Evans did Hkewise. Zimman replied that he would reply in the regular order of busi- ness, but that communications from the mayor first must be received and disposed of. Evans was inclined to pross the point, but gave way, Zimman Makes Explanation. In accordance with his promise Zimman called Vice President Nicholson to the chalr and, descending to the floor, said: “@ince 1 have been a member of the city council it has been a rule in the city clerk’s office to permit no official documents to be taken from the office. It has been my cus- tom on Wednesday mornings to go Into the clerk's office about 10 o‘clock and sign the resolutions and other documents walt- ing my signature, ““The morning after the meeting referred to I went into the office as usual. Mr. Ei- bourn submitted all the documents to me except the one relating to the gas comtract. 1 asked him for it and he repled that it was with the mayor. 1 asked him when he got it and when the mayor signed it and the reply was that the mayor had signed it that morning or had called for it that morning, or words to this effect. 1 re- marked that it was strange the resolution should be forwarded to the mayor without my signature. In the evening papers I read that the mayor had signed the reso- lution in bed the night before. 1 had no means of knowing whether or not the resolution had been tampered with or altered. No coples were made in the clerk’s office before it was sent out in the hands of Mr. Kierstead, who is not a city employs or officer. The action was con- trary to the rules of the office and con- trary to precedent and I decline to sign the document because it was handled through an trregular channel. I make no charges that it has been tampered with, but for the reasons I haye given I think [ am under no obligations to sign it." Stateme Not Disputed. Councilman Evans asked if Zimman could prove his statements and the latter re- plied he thought his statements were not disputed, and Back remarked that the oc- currence was two months old and it was the duty of the president o notify the council immediately if there were irrefu- iaritles. i o City Clerk @lbourn sald: ‘The ktate- ment that here were no coples of the reso- lution made before it left my office is not correct. Three coples were made and they read the same as that recelved back from the mayor. The law requires me to place all documents for his signature in the hands of the mayor within forty-elght hours after action has heen taken by the council. The statutes nor the ordinances do not define how 1 shall transmit these documents. It may be by sutomoblle, bicycle or person and meanwhile I am responsible under a $5,000 bond. 1f Mr. Zigiman thought there was anything wrong he is mistaken." Zimman Grows Dramatie. Zimman, to strengthen his case that he did not know what changes or alterations were made to the resolution, sttacked the tement of Clerk Elbourn that he made M6 morning after the council meeting con- cerning the time the resolution was sent to the mayor. He sald In the light of statements made ‘later that the clerk had told him a falsehood. Elbourn replied that it made little difference as to the exact time. At this point Zimman pointed to a newspaper reporter present and sald: “This young man was present and heard the con- versation. 1 arranged purposely so that he should. Now if he will deny my state- ménts T will apologize to Mr. Elbourn and sign the resolution.” What the Reporter Heard. Excitement In the council chamber was rather high at this time Wnd it was a bet- ting proposition whether or not the two officers would settle the difference without Acting President Nicholson and the council insisted upon hearing from the reporter, who sald: “I was present at the conversation re- ferred to, although I did not know that I was acting in the capacity of o witness. Mr. Zimman asked the clerk what had become of the gas resolution and Elbourn replied it had gone to the mayor. He said first that the mayor had asked for it the night before and later corrected his state- ment to the effect that the mayor requested it that morning." ‘This testimony, for some reason, appeared to cast ofl on the waters and hostilities | ceased, Elbourn and Zimman both lookindg pleased. The councll then approved (he docuraents and Zimman resumed the cpair, Street Sigm Ordinance Walse, The street sign ordinance was yiot re- ported on, although up to the lagt minute it was expected that it would be. Chair- man Nicholson of the street insprovements committee declined to submit “he ordinance for action because he desired to give the Real Estate exchange committee a chance to be heard with argursents against the measure. A resolution had been prepared instruct- ing City Attorney Wright to use every ef- fort to mecure an early hearing in the newspaper advigtising - case. but was dropped because, the city attorney explained that he had already taken steps in this di- tion, and @iought he could have the sult ed up bt later than next week. Authorty was given for the settiement of the perional Injury clalm of H. J. Van Neas f3r $250, and a like demand from Mat- tie C, Cralg for $i0. Both cases are in cougk, and both individuals assert they Wigre injured by defective sidewalks. An ordinance making arrangements for the appraisal and acquirement of lots in Locust street and the Twentieth street boulevard, owned by John T. Cathers, and which he fenced In last summer, was intro- duced and read the first and second times. Hereafter it will be a misdemeanor, pun- ishable by & $35 fne, to interrupt or delay . THE OMAHA DAILY OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS In the schools perhaps more than any place else this week Thanksgiving has fur- nished the theme that is uppermost. In their language work the children have written about it. The story of the Pilgrims has been told and read over and over again in all the grades. The colonists in their quaint dress, the turkey hunt, the church- going and the winter woods have furnished the subject for blackboard, pencll and water color work, while in many rooms Wednesday afternoon s gfven over to Thanksgiving programs. In all of the schools there has been the Thanksgiving offering to~the less fortupate of the city and scores of baskets of food and clothing will be made up from the contributions of the school ehildren. The various rooms of Mason school are this afternoon giving an entertainment that is not only enjoyable to the visitors, but very finstructive as well. It is called a progressive musicale. Beginning with the puplls of the first grade the guests will be shown the progress of music from one grade to another up through the eighth grade. Mason school has fourteen rooms and each will contribute its step in this musicale. To one unfamiliar with the sys- tem taught in the city schools the musicale must be interesting as well as instructive, and to all It is enjoyable. In addition to the progress in the music the same excur- sion over the building will be improved to show the progress in the drawing work. Some especially §ood specimens have been prepared and these have been wrranged for inspection. The color work at Masdn is par- ticularly §ood and this will also be shown. The plan of the parents and visitors progressing from one room to another is new in, Omaha and might be Drofitably adopted in cther bulldings. Some large framed relief maps of the United States are being distributed among the various bulldings, and while Instruc- tion for their use has not yet been received by the teachers, so far there is a wide dif- ference of opinjon regarding their practica- bility among the principals. The chief fault is that the surface ‘being glaged, nnot be seen to distin- guish the divisions at any distance, thus rendering the map useless only at close range, which will be extremely in- convenient in a school room. Other teach- ers complain that the rellef is not in good proportion and will give false ideas that will be harmful. Stlll others, however think they will prove helpful in the lower grades, aside from the inconvenlence of being unable to see the divisions at any distance. Contral school, in its upper grades, has a substitute for the mid-session vecess, both morning and afternoon, that is most refreshing to the pupils and a very enter- taining exercise to visitors that happen to be in the building. At 10:30 in the morn- Ing and 2:30 in the afterncon the windows of the upper fioor rooms are raised, ‘he doors into the halls thrown ofen and to the musfc of a plano all of the puplls take calesthenic exercises: in Gnison. The ex- ercise lasts about fiye minutes, during which the air is changed, the puplls re- freshed and all put In better condition for the remainder of the session.

STEADY GROWTH OF INSTITUTION NOTED A 1 Rep: Increase Cared for and Need of Money. The sixth annual report of the Child Baving Institute has been printed, and glves a full account of the work done dur- ing the past year and suggests ways In -which the usefulness of the Institution may be increased In the future. The report shows that the Institute has cared for a larger number of children during the vear than ever before, that ts 28 as against 244 for last yea m.betun that and for the year preceding that only 19. The insti- tutlon has enjoved a steady growth since its beginning, and the bullding which it has now occupted for no very long time, is already getting too smail. With the growth of the work has come a steady Increase in expenses, and as there i= no endowment and the Institute denends entirely upon #ifts from the public it has been a growing difficulty to find the money. The report of Treasurer C. W. Lyman shows that during the year ending Octo was recefved and $9,626.48 was expended, leaving a balance on hand of $949.89. As the report shows $824.79 on hand st the begiuning of the year, the finances are practically where they were at that time. The largest donations were during the months of November, December and January, which all ran over $1,000. February was the poorest month with only $414.28 taken In. The expenses for Decem- ber and September were the greatest, run ning over $1,000 and June with $620.39 saw the least expenditure. Children Cared For, The report of children who have beert cared for shows that there were 37 on hand November 1, 1802, that 207 were re- celved during the year and that 4 were readmitted, muking & total of 258, Of these 128 were provided with homes, 109 were restored to parents, 14 under six months of age died, and.three older children also dled. One large boy left the institute withe out permission and 28 children were left in the institution at the close of the year. The superintendent reports that 45 homes were visited and cases Investigated. The correspondence necessitated the writing of 2,146 letters and 26,387 miles were travelled. The report of the nursery Committee shows the work done in that department and the money recelved and expended. A quarantine during the winter added greatly to the difficylties. The building has been newly painted ingide and the walls finished In & sanitary manner. Special mention is made of the training school for nurses, the institute now furnishing trained ' nurses for outside work. The total collected by the nursery committee was $1,14L.04 and the total expenditures were $891.07. The committee consists of Mesdames Edgar Al- len, G. F. Bldwell, E. N. Bovell, J. F. Carpenter, A.

How Work is Accom 2mong other things theeport sa; During the last year, quite a number of children have been rescued from ill treat- ment and from immoral _surroundi cenditions which were far worse than sim- ple neglect, destitution or homelessness. In dolng this, we have tried to exercise great | caution in’the matter of breaking up fami- | lies. It has been our purpose in all cases where it fs possible, to keep parents and children together. It will be seen that quite a number have been returned to us and replaced. It has been found by experience that children do not always stay ced. After a few months of trial, in many cases it develops that those who take them do not love them | an they should, and in some cases the chil- | dren do not love the people; and in order to “ind congeniality an nity, 1t is some- | times necessary to try certain’ children in | two or three " different homes until the more perfect relationship ean be found | The institute undertakes to look after the children, and to exercise a careful watch- gare over them after piacing them in omes. TRYING KISHINEFF RIOTERS rt Refuses to Permit ot Evidence Showin Responsible. VIENNA, Nov. %.—Reports received here of the trial of persons conpected with the massacre of Jews at Kiahineff says that the court absolutely refused to permit the men- tion of the names of any persons not ac- tually accused, even when witnesses for the defende reported that the prisoners were the tools of more intelligent and responsi- ble agitators whose names they offered to give. The military commander of the district testified that he had a garrison of 5,000 men in Kishineff, but took no action because he | had no orders from the governor.

Two and & half millions of dollars is | high price. to pay for a dyspepsia cire, yot the great American public set the stamp | of thejr approval upon Stuart's Dyspepsia | Tablets by paying more than this amount of money for them durlug the past year. | These tablets sbsolutely cure any stage of dyspepsia by relieving the o\'rrwul’kedi stomach and Intestines of the burden of | digestion end ailowing them to :ecuporate | naturally and without the artificial and| barmful stimulus given by drug compounds | and so-called tonics which in reality de- | pend upon alcokiol for their efficiency and | in the end co far more harm than good. | A true tonic is something which will re- new, replenish, build up the exhausted nervous system and wasted tissues of the | body; something that will enrich the blood | and endow it with the proper proportions | of red and white corpuscles which prevent | or destroy Glsease germs. yThis §s what a real tonic should do and no drug or alco- | holle stimulant WILL do it | The only true tonic in nature is whole- | some food, thoroughly digested. Every particle of nervous emergy, overy minute| muscle, fiber“and drop of blood is created | daily from the food we digest. | \The mere eating of food has ittle to do! with the repair of waste tissue, but the| perfect digestion of the food eaten has | EVERYTHING to do with it. | The reason so few people have perfect | digestion I8 because from wrong habits of living the stomach has gradually lost the power to secrete the gastrie juice, peptones and acids in sufficent quantity. | To cure Indigestion and stomach troubles | it is necessary to take after meals some | harmless preparation which will supply | the natural peptone and diastess which every weak stomach lacks, and probably | the best preparation of thia character is| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found in every drug store and which con- | tain in pleasant, palatable form the whole- | some pepton ‘and diastese which nature | requires for prompt digestion One or two .of these excellent tublets| taken after meals will prevent souring, termentation and acidity and insure com- plete digestion and assimilation. | Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equally valuable for litt'e children as for adults, as | they contain nothing hermful or stimulat- ing, but only the natural digestives. | One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 1800 grains of meat, eggs or other ! wholesome food, and they are in every sense a genulne tonlc because they bring | about in the only natural way a restora- tive of perve power, a building up of lost ! tissue and appetite, in the only way It can be done BY THI DIGESTION AND AS-| SIMILATION OF WHOLESOME FOOD. When the stomach won't work the whole body suffers, as every tissude or structure of the body depends on the stomach for | nourishment and renewal™ it the stomach is weuk, inactive and un- able to properly digest food it not only subjects the body to a state of chronic semi-starvation or habitually half-fed con- dition that weakens it and renders it less productive of accomplishment and less re- | sistant to disease, but it allows of the ab- sorption of half-digested, rotting material that is'a positive polson to it and taxes | the eliminative organs to expel it from the body. Thus it will be seen that the incon* venlence and distress, the disturbed rest, the horrors of Insomnla, and the dreadful caprices of nightmare, are the most insig- | the cause of the heart disturbances. | weakness. ~ Cure for Dyspepsia A Now York Millionaire Offers a Fortune- ! for a Stomach Which Will | Digest His Food. nificant part of indigestion and that rew danger lurks behind the condition, Few people seem to reallze the dangers of weak, defective and disordered digestion Health reports do not give it as a cause ol death because some other disease sets it to work destructive changes, only made possible by the imperfect digestion, anc the death is accredited to them.
