Smith & Co. held a mask carnival in the large dining hall of the factory build- ing at Ninth and Douglas streets Sat- urday evening.

Gillen, detective on the South Side force since 1908, died this morning at St. Joseph’s hospital as the result of an operation. He is sur- vived by his widow and seven small children. ; Gillen was a name to conjure with among the rougher element of the South Side. He had courage, resource- fulness and tact. Many times was he complimented for his bravery. Chief of Police Dunn considered him one of the best officers on the force. The Gillen home is at 5129 South Thirty-ninth street, South Side. Funeral arrangements are not com- plete. Treasurer Thinks He is Pawnbroker |/ A woman who wanted to vote for members of the school board heard that one of the necessary qualifica- tions was the possession of taxable property. She carried a valuable jewel- studded wrist watch, and she showed it to a deputy county treasurer, taking it from her wrist and shoving it across the counter, without a word. | The deputy examined it clbsely for | a moment and then looked up. | “How much do you want on it, lady?” he asked.

The total count will not be in until late this morning, and in some cases not until this afternoon, according to predictions of election clerks count- ing the ballots. At the Douglas county No. | precinct clerks ceased counting at 11:30 o'clock. The wets had carried by a half hundred majority, and the clerks were apparently satisfied to postpone activities untifB o'clock this morning, Clerks generally over the cnf' took plenty of time in counting ballots, each adopting a different sys- tem. Despite the rain a rairly large crowd gathered at the postoffice to view the returns flashed on a screen on the Odd Fellows Twenty<fourth and M streets. The Besse “theater also flashed reports. ’l.he news of the Hughes majority in New York and Illinois, as reported on the early ballot, was received with much cheering. Wet forces made a great fight yes- terday. Hundreds of cars sped from poll station to poll station with work- ers armed with affidavits to dispute any challenge. It was the claim of the wet managers that not a vote was lost by reason of these challenges. Three women, old and young, manned each precinct in the city in the interests of the citizen’s ticket, on the Board of Education. These women were for the most part im- partially treated. Keno Klub Elects. Morris Olson was elected president of the Keno Klub last evening. The result was made known following the c]lmax of a keen election, in fact, con- sidered the keenest election in the history of the club. Olson is the all- star pitcher of the Brandeis foot ball team, and he is reckoned as the bright billiard player in the city. He made a record in foot ball and track athletics while attending South High school. Otto Hallf{reen was elected social secretary. allgreen only recently returned from the border, where he had been a sergeant in the Nebraska State militia. His election insures a good social program, as he is one of the favorite entertainers among local young men. Other officers elected were: Martin Johfison, vice presi- dent; Russell Barclay, secretary, and Frank Anderson, treasurer, The club celebrated its fourth year of existence last evening. Tuesday evening, October 17, the club mem- bers will hold their semi-annual ban- %uu at the Loyal hotel. J. W. Mc- ullough of ‘the Allen-Dudley Com- mission company will be initiated into this organization. Social Secretary Hallgreen has another dancing enter- tainment booked for a later date. Fail to Blow Safe. Expert safe blowers blundered a couple of attempts at cracking the Diers Printing company safe and the big vault in the Conservative Loan and Association building at Twenty-fourth and O streets. Work- men who entered the print shop found the front office in a” high state of disorder. Investigation foudd the knob on' the steel strong box blown off and a big hole cut through the wall separating the Diers establish- ment from the Savings and Loan association room. The death of Mike Gillen, veteran building _at | little ones, and physicians were openly astounded at the remarkable such great odds. | The news of the death was re- ceived with sorrow on the South Side. | Few were there in the city who had inot a warm spot in their hearts for Gillen, who was a ftiend ofi every- I tend his funeral in as large a body as absence from the force will permit. | Funeral Director ~ Bernard Larkin have been made nouncements not yet.

Railroad To Explain Its Delay City Comniissioner Jardine City Engineer Bruce are considering the matter of making.another request on the Missouri Pacific railway com- pany for a definite statement regard- ing the clevation of the Belt line tracks. The city engineer states that his department and the railway engineers agreed on the disputed details on the elevation work and he sees no reason why the railroad people should con- tinue their dilatory tactics. It is likely that the city officials will write another note to the Mis- | souri Pacific company. Lobeck Loses Own Precinct.

This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores | do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, | purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist, It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- | tem of these vile poisons and toxins; | also to prevent their formation. | To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and | muscles became saturated with an ac- | cumulation of body poisons, begin | this treatment and, above all, keep it ‘up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and | purifying, so limestone phosphate and | hot water before breakfast act on the | stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.— | Advertisement, Our Remarkable Sale of PIANOS yourself.
