Dodge of Chicago , relative to Venetian blinds for the three new grammar scheolr. The hid was 1C cents per square 'en' for 19u blinds , amounting approximately lo ? SOO. Members of the minority , and par- tiuilarly Ilaywnrd , complained of unfalrne s In not advertising for bids In n matter of such .Importance ; The defense wns made that the' price was exceptionally low and would not kng continue In force. Cowle added that Hayward had not shown the same solici tude In obtaining bids on stoves when that proposition was before the Iraard two weeks n ft and that , as a matter of fact , none had boon solicited on that occasion. Hayward rotpotiupd with some heat that the statement WIB falsa' and that , his committee had visited \nrious hardware dealers. The charge was returned and an exciting colloquy followed , which was finally quieted by the chair. The secretary wns Instructed to place the order by a majority , and minority division. The majority , relying upon Its numerical superiority , also forced through the election of two teachers who had not been recom mended by Superintendent Pcarse In accord ance with the rules of the board.

Teal alee secured the passage of a reso lution calling upon the Judiciary committee to secure a monthly report of the condition of the board's finances.

First , to consumers : 1. Hhop early. 2. Co shopping with classified lists. .1. Do only the necessary shopping before Chrlstm.is. 4. Ho not nsk to have parcels delivered the same day. "These four rules , " comments Mrs. Hen- rolln , "are a means whereby women ny aiding Iho employers to keep trade condi tions as normal as possible may nlso apply the principles of the league. At Christmas time these irude conditions are usually iih- MU mill , HO that no amount of executive ability or foresight on the part of employ ers ran obvlnle Hitjtreal Inconvenience or serious wroii allendlnK Ihcni. "Hesldeii dlslurblng Ihe normalities of trade fhrlslniaw shopping Interfere * with Ihe moralities. One of the Immoralities Is , that the shopper Is apt to spend more than she ought , especially If buying at a store where bills ore allowed. The result Is post- Clirlslniaj economy , often accompanied by unhapplneHs In an effort lo meet the obllga- llon. If one shops early , however nnd Ibis certainly means before 4 o'clock and In Ihe morning If possible and with a well classified list , one will do It with more con sideration and have the end In view rather than the means. Then not only should one put oft until after Ihe holiday season any unneut-Htmry shopping , but shop long enough before Chrlslmas to not need to ask that purchases bo delivered the same day. The shopper should not ask for the ex change of purchases until after Christinas. " Second , suggestions to employers : 1. Dose the store at G o'clock. i. If unable to close at that hour moke arrangements for supper money and extra pay for the , extra service. 5. Conform tn the child labor law. In commenllng on the overwork of chil dren In the teller this appeal Is mmlo to the women : "It Is the pathellc Irony of history that this holy festival of Ihe Christ-child should become the season when little children are overtaxed and underpaid. " MAYOR MOORES IS ENDORSED IVeNt Stile Improvement Club UlKli Tribute to Oinnha'H Chief Kv- ciMiHvc , ItcKiirilloiiN of Politics. At a. meeting of the Wpst Side Improve ment club , held at Forty-eighth and Leaven- worth streets Monday night , a resolution was unanimously adopted In which the ad ministration of Mayor F. E. Moorcs is highly endorsed. This club Is a non-partisan or ganization and the endorsement of the mayor Is because of his splendid work for the city , and not because of his political faith , so the leaders say and the leaders Include voters of the different parties. The lesolu- llon follows : ' Whereas. For nearly three years past Hon. K. 1C. IMoores has filled tbe olllce of mayor with eredlt to himself nnd to the city , und Whereas. During that trying1 period , when two expositions were held In Omaha and thousands of slrangers entered our gates , he wa * ever watchful over the pnfety anil Interests of the people over whom he was chosen to preside , nnd Whereas , It is an established custom that when a public servant has been faithful to the trust Imnnscd in him for one term con- lldeneo Is continued In him for a second term , therefore be it Uesolved , That we , as citizens and tax payers , residing In the west end of the Sev enth ward , most heartily endorse I1 , b. 'Moores ' for re-election. Another resolution was unanimously adopled In favor of Clly Councilman Mount. The club endorses him for re-election on the grounds that he has been an oncrgellc worker for the upbuilding of the territory ho represents and that no other councilman has ever surpassed him as n faithful repre- sentntlve. A committee composed of Edward Walsh , John Wlsler and Theodore Smith was ap pointed to Interview the slreel railway man agement and appeal for boiler service In Ihe west end.

' HAS AN OFFER OF A BETTER POSITION lipq Men MKcljto llniul In thr . \jMiolntinpnt of nrr Chief KitMir Sn > UP Will Co- Opprntr. Chief of Police Carroll last evening lent dcred his resignation to Mayor Knsor. Mr. Carroll Intends leaving for Denver In a few days where lip Kill look after business mat ters for a time. In speaking about his leav ing the police department Mr. Carroll said he was In receipt of an offer of a much bet ter position and while In the west ho would look over the ground with his probable em ployers. The chief further said that he had been contemplating a change for some time post , but ho had been urged by the mayor to remain with the department until Janu ary 1. Events have transpired which now make this Impossible , hence the resignation at this time. Pending the selection of a chief of police. Captain Alllc will be made acting chief. Carroll's retirement leaves the way open now for the selection of a head of the police department by the business men. Mayor Ensor asserted Sunday night that If the busi ness men were dlFeatlsfled with the manner In which the department was being con ducted , ho stood ready and willing to ap point a chief of police to bo named by rep resentative buslncsn men. Since this offer has been made It will mcst likely be ac cepted as a great many complaints have been made lately regarding the manner In which the police force Is being handled. Members of the Commercial club Incline to the opinion that with a now chief the work of the force will be greatly Improved. Busi ness men further say that the new chief , whoever he is , must be given full authority to handle the men as ho BCCS fit , and this request will undoubtedly be made of the mayor when a new head of the department Is designated. On account of the number of robberies and holdups commltlcd lalely , the people are considerably alarmed and many think there should be an entire reorganization of the force. As constituted , at present the force Is costing the taxpayers $1,000 a month and It Is asserted that this is rather expensive considering the amount of protection ac corded. The 1839 appointment for police purposes In J9.108 , so that It can readily be seen that there will be an overlap In this fund nt the expiration of the fiscal year. There are those who assert that with n complete reorganization the number of patrolmen need not bo Increased In order to have fairly good protection. Another thing that has been spoken of Is the closing of saloons at midnight. More than likely the mayor will be requested to ismio Instructions of this kind. By closing all places where liquor Is sold at the hour mentioned. It will bo much easier for the police to keep track of suspicious charac ters. With saloons open at all hours of the night thugs and thieves have a place to hide und keep out of the sight of police officers. In addition to this request the mayor will likely be asked to close all games now being operated In saloons with a view of compell ing undesirable citizens to seek come other climate. Men with no occupation congregate about cheap resorts , and It Is asserted , fre quently remain all night. With such places closed at a reasonable hour the police will be enabled to keep a better watch on petty thieves and those who do not work. I'olltlcK. ' Candidates for the spring election are be ing talked of theee days , ' alttioiigh' ttie elec tion will not bo held until next April. The republicans are casting about for a good man for mayor , and as a strong candidate must bo put up , quite a number arc urging J. B. Walklns lo allow his name to be used. Mr. Watkins is a well-known business man arid ho Is being very favorably considered. It Is asserted that the city's finances are In such a condition that a business man of ability is needed to untangle , the snarl and practice economy in all branches of the city government. In case Mr. Watkins allows his name lo go before Ihe convention he will undoubtedly receive the support of not only the republicans , but of those who are con templating tbe organizing of a reform move ment. Councilman Patrick Trainer Is harboring a mayoralty bee lu hU bonnet and thoee who claim to know say that he can have things all his own way in Iho Third ward. Of the democrats , It Is presumed that Mayor Knsor will seek the nomination again. It is for Ihls reason that the republicans are now casllng about for a slrong man who will find favor with a majority of Ihe people and thus Insure Ihe election of a republican. The city Is democratic and a great deal of hard work will have to be done by the republi cans and these who favor a reform in mu nicipal affairs if the democratic ring Is to be broken up.

The school board Is regarding with anxiety a threatened curtailment of Us Income from llquot licenses which would make strict pcoiiomy necessary for the coming yenr. The Isiuo has- been raised , this year for the first time whether or not a corporation may legally hold a liquor license.- The law provides that upon the petition of a ccrtalji number of persona n liquor llcrr.Pe may bp granted to the "person" applying therefor , providing that "he" bo a "man" of good moral character , etc. If the terms mentioned arc not applicable to corporations also the school board's Income will suffer a heavy decrease. The contention Is made by J. K. Holmes In his protests against nine licenses applied for by the Schlllz Brewing company that the applicant Is not eligible under the .statute. The point is made that In framing the provision the legislature evidently deelrcd to fix the responsibility for the proper con duct of saloons upon some Individual In order that If there were any breach of the law the delinquent might be punished. A corporation , it Is held , Is an Intangible thing and cannot be. convicted of a crime.

Nine times out of ten they wait until they are- laid flat on their backs before they will consult a physician There is some reason in this , for when a business man feels out of sorts and goes to a physician , he is often Kiven violent drugs that make him , for a time , unfit for business ami really nick. There is a way of avoiding both extremes that of neglecting the health and that of taking violent drugs that luck the ntire system it is always to keep on liund a bottle of Dr. Pieicc's Golden Medlc.il Dis covery.
