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

Teal alee secured the passage of a reso
lution calling upon the Judiciary committee

Ing too much In the dark with respect to Its
resources , a semi-yearly report only being
submitted.
A report from the superintendent of In

pupils in the public schools. This Is au

The Industrial committee of the Omaha
Woman's club , consisting of Henrietta 1.
Smith. Kmma M. Wafincr , Frances' M. Ford ,
nlancho k. McKclvy nnd Klla . LoblnRer ,
has Issued a letter to the public on the ques
tion of Christmas RhopplnR , of which the
following nro the essential parts :
The ChlcaKo Consumers' league , Jtra.
Klli'ti M. Henrotln president , has Issued n
fhrl.ilmiiH etblc-s letter contalnltiB valuable
siiKRestions both lo buyers nnd employers.
Tbe HUKKcollons are so full of humanity ,
Botid sense mid the real Christmas spirit
that we the Industrial committee of the
Omaha Woman's club ask space In your
columns for their publication. fcclliiR sure
that they will be followed by Omnhn con
sumers and inerrhntilN In the remalnlnc
time before Ihe holidays , It brought to
Ihelr attention.
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

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. The next meeting of the club
will be held Saturday night.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Chief of Police Carroll Sends in His
Resignation. '
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. The'
rcmonstrator asks that the petitions of ,
parties acting for the ScWltz company he (
also denied Inasmuch as they do not dcslro
the applications on their own account.
Helmes wns formerly lessee of the Schlltz
company's roof garden.
The city attorney Is. of the onlnlon tha'
the form of the statute may ho extended to !
apply to a corporation. Tim word "man , " In '
hln opinion , is used In a bioad souse and
would equally apply to n woman or , as In
this cafie , to a number of men. A corpora
tion Is ns much answerable to law as an In
dividual , ho says , and may be called Into
court and fined. He says that ho will advise
the board to grant licenses to , corporations ,

turned over to the city treasurer and will
probably be used in meeting the December
pay roll. The pay roll amounts to $10,000
for the current month , but It Is expected
that the difference will be provided for by
licenses to ho Issued. In case it la not
the sum will be turned Into the general fund
and a call for warrants will be issued.

There was litllo doing .at the' meeting of
the Board of Fire and-Police"'cbmm1SsIpUer
Monday night , the''b'iio" ' piece of "business
transacted being the granting of a liquor li
cense to Adolph Brandcs at 1201 Douglaa
street. The protest of F. C. Shields , who has
made a blanket kick against all applicants ,
waa overruled by the board and , as there
were no Individual protests , Brandes was
given authority to sell liquor. The board
has not yet ruled on the question of whether
a corporation may obtain a license or not
and the matter may demand the attention
of the courts before a solution of the prob
lem Is reached. The board will meet Thurs
day afternoon at 3 o'clock to transact further
business.

_ Men do not like to go to doctors. 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. Jf a man will resort to this great
medicine whenever he feels that he is out
of sorts and threatened with illness , he
may keep in good health. It is the great
appetite sharpener , blood-maker .mil flesh-
builder. It fills the arteries with the rich ,
red , tisRiic-bnildini ; blood of health. It
does not make flabby fat like cod liver oil ,
but the solid , muscular and nerve tissues
of health. It does not make corpulent people
ple more corpulent. .
