(ITY DADS MARE C(llll’l.AlNTl Street Commissioner Has Not Power to Force Clean Btreets. Gvrrnmmmorowmufss Makes Assertion that Too Much is Being Carried Over Their Heads and Obstructions Remain " on Btreots. : In an impromptu conference Friday morn- ing -+ Councilmen MoGovern, Kugel and Berka a somewhat puzzling state of atfairs, indicating the oity of Omaha has very little power to secure quick work in caring for the thoroughfares. Counotiman Kugel brought the matter up ¥ Meeking the assistance of the street com- o have certain obstructions taken M the street In the vioinity of the street barti - at Vinton and ‘!‘w-m.ploupn “have been lasued, it scems, for the Jremavel of the obstructions, but without avall. Kugel wanted to know why, and found it will take a Jaw mult, probably, to get aotion. The summary power of the strect commis-4 sloner s very limited. During the discus- slon several recent instances were men- tioned wherein ofty officlals had made a stand for the rights of the city, and later council hed passed resolutions upsetting thelr work and making them seem more officlous than effeotive. The movement had even gone so far that a police officer was speolally detailed to the street com- missioner's office to have street obstruc- tions removed and the offenders arrested. Many notices were served and much talk was Indulged in, but no one was punished any further then to be compelled to put in an appearance In court and take a mild leo- ture on clvio duty. In some instances coun- cll resolutions were passed to protect the firms and individuals obstructing the streets. In the face of the ordinances the councilmen wondered Friday morning if this sort of resolution was of any effect beyond stopping the work of cleaning up. In the city bullding inspector's depart- ment the same state of affairs is contin- ually cropping up. Inspector Withnell re- fuses to fasue @ permit for- certaln work, some of it new, but & good deal of it in the nature of repairs for old buildings that be considers dangerous. Then the parties werned go to the councll and have & resolution passed, Only one such appeal from the decision of the bullding in- spector has been turned down by council in many months The latest case In which councll passed on ‘was last Tuesday evening, wnhen one went through permitting the repair of the Old house back of the Morris theater, and for which Inspector Withnell had refused a permit.

Every Day is “A Sale Day” at Scofield’s No “Trashy” MILLIKAN'S ELECTRIC ION Nature of the Discovery Reported by & Chicago University Professor. Prof. R. A. Milllkan ot the University ot Chicago, & man young in years, has dis- covered after four years of study that for which scientists for ages have been looking. Prof. Milllkkan has discovered the fon of electricity. The fon of eleotricity ls the smallest, the most minute particle or atom in the mys- terious electrical charge of which the scl- entlsts of the world know so little. While they have been ale to harness this power- ful mysterious force, they have admitted freely that they do not know very much about it, what it is or from whence it comes. As & result of the discovery of Millikan the world today is much nearer than ever before to the actual discovery of electricity. The unknown has been reduced to the atom and the atom has been measured and ob- served, not once but many times in the course of the experimefits, Prof, Milllkan's great discovery was made known to the members of the Slgma Chl fraternity, of which he Is a member. In a formal statement to the members of the fraternity Prot. Millikan sald: “We have succeeded in lsolating an in- dividual fon, and holding it under observa- ton for an indefinite length of time—an hour or more If desired. “We have been able to give a tangible demonstration that the correctness of the view advanced many years ago that an electric charge is not & homogeneou me- thing—'a strain in the ether' or ponderable fluld'~sprgad uniforthly over the surface of the chiarged body, but that it has & definite granular cture—con- sists in fact of a definite nw of specks or atoms of electricity—exactly allke, pep- pered over the surface of the charged body. “It follows, of course, that an electric current, which is simply & charge in mo- tion, consists of a movement of these atoms ot electricity through or over the conduet- ing body. ““This is not asserting anything about the nitimate nature of electricity, but is merely pushing the unknown down into these ulti- mate electric units or atoms. As a matter of fact we are pretty certain that all ma- terlal atoms contain as constituents these uitimate electric atoms, and it is the vogue now to surmise that these electrical atoms are the ultimate units out of which all matter is bullt up. “We have succeslled in making & very precise measurement of the value of this ultimate or elementary electrical charge and find It to be 6.18x10.10 absolute elec- . | trostatio units, We think this value ocan- not be In error by more than one-half of 1 per cent. “We have been able to bring forward new, direct and most convincing evidence of the corregtness of the kinetio theory of matter, for we have not only ‘shown directly that & molecule of alr i In rapld motion, but we have measured the order of magnitude of Its energy of agitation and find it to agree with the computations based upon the kinetic theory, “We have been able to prove that the sveat majority of the lons or an lonised gas one single elementary electrical discharge, but we have strong evidence that some of these foms carry multiples of the elemen- tary charge. “Our results demonstrate in a new way that the negative lon in air 1s considerably more mobile than ‘is the positive lon—thls means that its velocity of agitation is greater and that it moves faster under the influence of an electrical field. “Our results show that the law of fall of a droplet through a desisting medium, commonly known as Stokes' law, breaks down for droplets whose radius is less than .00016 centimeter. The results further show in just what way this law breaks down. “In brief, the method by which all these results have been obtalned is as follows: We blow a cloud of fine oll or mercury drops by meane of an atomizer, and intro- duce one of these drops through a pinhole into the spaces between the plates of a horizontal air condenser. “The droplet there catches one or more of the lons whizn normally exist In alr or which have been produced In the space between the plates by any of the usual lonizing agents like radlum or Xrays. The time of fall of this droplet through & meas- ured distance is observed when no electri- cal field exists between the plates, then a field of strengh betweed 3,00 and 8,000 volts per centimeter |8 thrown on and the time of rise of the droplet under the in- fluence of this field through the same dis- tance is again measured. “This operation is repeated and the speeds checked an indefinite number of times, or until the droplet catches a new ion, when its speed under the influence of the fleld instantly changes, though the speed under gravity remains constant, “From the sign and magnitude of the change in speed the sign and exact value of the change carried by a captured fon is determined. The air in a single observa- tion need not exceed one-third of 1 per cent. From the values of the speeds observed all of the conciusions above may be directly deduced."—Chicago American, LABORER INJURED BY BUCKET Man Hit on Back While Working in & Ditch Gets Broken Nowe. Emanuel Paru, a laborer employed by the J. J. Hannighen company at an ex- cavation at Tenth and Harney streets, was struck in the back by a falling derrick bucket Friday morning and injured about the splio. The fall was also attended by & fracture of the nose. Paru was attended by police surgeons and removed to St. Joseph hospital. They expressed the oplnion that his injuries would not prove permanent.

The dances always are dress-up af- fairs, and my wife reminded me In the morning that I must get home early from the office in order to surround myself with my evening clothes. I nearly broke my neck to do so. My collar button rolled away only twice and I managed to find the hooks on the back of my wife's gown—she had a brand new party dress—so we ar- rived only half an hour late. “We went right upstairs to the Wal- worths' sulte and tapped on the door, There was no answer. Then I knocked hard. Nothing happened. “‘Well, I think that's queer,’ sald my wife. She was anxlous to get some powder on her nose and was irritable, She sald she'd wait there while I went down to the desk to inquire about our host. “The clerk sald the Walworths were in at dinner. 1 made him repeat the state- ment, which he did, distinctly and calmly. He seemed utterly unmoved by the situa- tion, When I got my breath and told him to have my name sent In he seemed dub- | lous, He sald Mr. Walworth dldn't like to be disturbed when he was in_the dining room, but if I insisted— “I told him In & carefully repressed tone that I did insist. “Presently Mr, Walworth came out. He | came with an alr of Irritated surprise; which was hard to beat. He greeted me with politeness and then remarked that he and Mrs. Walworth were within fifteen minutes of finishing dinner, and would 1 take the evening paper and amuse myself until= “I think my face must have halted him there, for he trailed off into nothing and tinally blurted out, “Say, what the dickens do you want, anyhow?" “1 blew up then, ‘Want!’ I roared, letting my overcoat fall back %o he might see my expanse of shirt front. ‘What the deuce do you suppose I want?

We know that we must always give more for the money than anyone else—that’s the “United Idea”—that’s the only way chain store concerns can succeed—if they don’t do that they fail. You see chain store concerns succeeding in many lines of business; the reason is simply that they bring the consumer right up to the manufacturer and give him more for his money than he can get any other way—Remember That! Better cigars for your money is what the United Cigar Stores mean to you—Remember That! The United Stores retail over 300,000,000 cigars a year at wholesale prices—a million cigars a day. The output of several large factories, goes over our counters directly to the smoker at an Our customers get one-third more from us,—cigars at least one-third better—that’s why there are hundreds of successful United Stores constantly mcrcasmg in volume and We have found that merit always wins.

THE MULE AS AN ARTIST Marvelous Genius of Its Brush Ex- bibited in “An Adriatic Sunset.” There has never been an art exhibi- tlon without the p nee of a number of chronic kickers; but the ‘case of the mule who painted a picture for a Parls exhibition is probably unique It seems that a picture of an Itallan sunset signed with an artistic name, was painted by a brush tied to the tail of a donkey.
