Ak-Snr-ncn's courtiers to the number of 310 paid their enthusiastic respects at the hospitable court of King St. Ib Ilagus In his royal citadel nt Fremont last night ami tested to tlio utmost the capacities of tho hugar bect knighthood for hospitable enter tainment. Tho Ak-Sar-llcn deputation left Omaha at f.15 p. m. over the Klkhorn In a special train of seven coaches and a bag gage ear. Along with tho merry party went Klpllnger's Junior Military band, which Acncrously donated Its services and turned out In showy uniform with twotuy-thrco performers, more, than fulfilling all due re tirements In tho musical line. Tho re tainers of Ak-Sar-Ilcn'H court turned out In uniform and nvory member of tho party woro a pink ribbon badge bearing the leg end, "Ak-Sar-Hen-Omaha Orccts Knights of St. Ecb rtngua, Fremont, August 15, 1300." Just before tho train pulled out of tho depot tho esprit du Join was notably In tensified when one of Mota" delivery wagona drove up to tho platform and deposited upon a truck several dozen lrc-locked amber flngons, which iptlckly found their way to the baggage car. The run to Fremont was made In an hour and a quarter In the cool of tho evening, with a lowering sky pronging tho rain which came later, and which was oven then Imparting refreshing vitality to tho ntmospherc. Darkness had Just gathered uhen tho beautiful city of Kremont was reached. Tho entire populace had hut a few momcntH beforo turned out In response to a flro alarm, sounded because of an In cipient blaze, after which all repaired to the depot. Tho train ran Into cheering hundreds of men, women anil children. Tho cars wcro quickly emptied and tho Omaha pleasure-seekers formed In march ing order besldo tho train, with tho band and the uniformed dignitaries of the court In front and tho accompanying knighthood In open order by fours. Millie 'Kin He timid. Ous rtenz, royal pyrotechnist, had provided nn abundance of rod lire and Its radiance was reflected In the thousands of happy and hospitable, fac.es that hemmed tho line of march. Continuous cheering marked tho progress of tho parade through the pr'ncl rial streets of the welcoming city to the den of the St. Keb-Iliigus monarch, where a halt vnt ordered. The lair of his majesty was fixed In a capacious hall In the business ccn tor. Into which the sojourners from the Ak Bar-Den oasis were ushered In groups and subjected to tho obligation, after which they wcro duly, hilariously ami tumultuously In ducted Into tho mysteries by the wise king and his learned counsellors, livery Knight of Ak-Sar-Hon attested his neighborly al legiance to the royal host and his realm and his hearty sympathy In the purposes of the SL Keb-Hngus knighthood. Tho diversity and novelty of the ritual lntlc ceremonies and the promptness and skill with which they were enneted In the crowded quarters occasioned considerable surprlso and admiration among the Omaha knights, many of whom entertained n vivid recollection of tho dllllcultlcs and annoy ances that always attend the perfection of such enterprises. Tho higher degrees of occultism were con ferred on but a few of the vIkIIois. Includ ing Hugo rtrnnrlols, Arthur Metis, (ieorgo I. Cronk, Mel Uhl, Thomas A. Fryo and one or two other leading members of tho Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilen. who manifested their valor In many a thrilling situation, but tho rainmaker got In his work on tho lowly as well as the exalted, tho Just and the unjust, as It were. Uefore the full ritual had been exemplified, although most of the novltates hnd explored tho aerial regions good and plenty and had manfully sustained many drastic physical if'ts, It was found necessary to lay aside further dispensations of wisdom to permit an exchange of greetings before the knightly adleux wero Imperative. King C'leland spoke the wcleomo of tho people of l'rcmont and said a few gracious words In appreciation of Omaha, declaring that city as necessary to tho growth and progress of Nebraska as Is tho growth and progress of tho stnle neces sary to Omaha He hoped tho time may soon come when the SI. Kcb-Hngtts knight -hoed will be as pretentious and useful nn organization as Is that of Ak-Sar-Ilen, and when Omaha, Fremont and numerous neigh boring places will be all one big city known as Orc.itcr Fremont. U'rriiiiit'N Friendly Fretilin. Ross Hammond, tho Journalistic sago of Fremont, reinforced tho remarks of the King, declaring that his recollectlona of tho Indignities practiced upon him during nn Initiation Into Ak-Snr-Iien led him to apologize for tho lameness of tho Fremont nrtlclo as entirely too mild for the offeimo. lie explained that tho object of tho or ganization of St. Keb-Hngus is to promote tho annual carnival and street fair at Fre mont September lO-lK, and as Fromout had Thing For n woman to come to that period known as change of life. It is almost always n period of suffering, nnd the de rangement of mind and liody is sonic times so great that the family life is ut terly marred by the unhappy wife and mother. At such n time every womau needs just the help that is given by Dr. Pierce's l'avorite Prescription. It works with Nature, soothes the nerves by nour ishing them, and cures diseases of the delicate organ3. In brief, it makes weak women strong; sick women well. "l'avorite Prescript ion " contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. "I have taken four bottle of 'Favorite Tre f riptloa for female weakness nnd change of life," write Mrs. Ule A. nowman, of New Matamorns, Washington Co., Olilo "Uefore I began UUiug it I could not do an -tlilnn I bad fuch mius in my head mil In the lack of my nrck tint I thought I would lose my nlml. Now I can wotk every dav and do not u(Tcr. I rec ommend ' Favorite Prescription ' to all women mtferiug in the period of change of life It U the bet medicine I have ever found." Kvcry woman should send for a fret copy of Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser. Send 21 one-cent stamps to jy expense of mailing only for the book in paper covers, or 31 stamp's for cloth, to Dr. IL V. Pierce, Buffalo.N. Y. sent about 12 000 people to the Omaha ex position, he hoped to sec Oman retipro- tato with about 30.000 to tho Fremont cntcrtHlnm"nt. Thomas A. Fryc said a few words as the head of the Ak-Sar-flcn organization In recognition of the courtesies extended and Rev. Edward F. Trcfz stirred th crowd with a speech on the community of Interest between Nebraska towns, say ing that Omaha Is bound to become the metropolis of the Missouri valley and that they will profit most who earliest realize that fact. Ho knocks on the knocker against his own state, he said, and asked pardon for approaching politics In speak ing of Kansas, paying a tribute to ex Senator lngalls, who did so much to bring fame to that stat", and Indulging a com parison with the successor supplied by tho Kansas knockers. A quartet of Fremont boys sang nn Im promptu melody blending the names of St. Eeb-nagus and Ak-Sar-Ilen. and re freshments followed, nn abundance being provided for all. Shortly after 11 the train left for tho re turn and Omaha was reached at 12:15 a. m. It was with no uncertain expressions of gratitude that tho excursionists found street cars sidetracked for them upon every line to carry them homo through the rain. J. V. Munn of tho Elkhorn nnd George F. West of tho Northwestern chaperoned the party, und a noisy and animated party It was from scratch to wire. Tho Knights of St. Ecb-Uagus have been organized nbout three months nnd have a membership of about COO. Its object Is to advertise tho street fair and carnival.

USED CHEMICALS TO PRESERVE MILK IViv i'rnti Are Millie lent tu Mmu' tlio Dn nuerniiK (iinriit'tcr of the l'luliN i:iiiiln. by Dl'llllTN, Traffic in Impure milk sustained a stag gering blow In police court Wednesday, when four of the Ave milk venders accused of adulterating their product were found guilty nnd lined. The members of the fifth linn against which complaint had been made, comprising Henry and Herman Paul son, Flfty-clghlh und Lincoln avenue, failed to appear in court as required by their bonds nnd a capias was Issued for them. They will probably bo tried tcday. Jesse C. Hoot, owner of a largo dairy farm seNcn miles southwest of the city, pleaded guilty to using formaldehyde in hts milk to preserve its sweetness and was lined $25 rnd costs. Ho sells milk exclusively to tho Waterloo creamery, Sixteenth and Howard streets. F. W. and L. J. Corliss, proprietors of tna Waterloo creamery, were found guilty ns charged and were assessed a collective line of $13, They alleged that they used none of tho preservative themselves and that If formaldehyde was found in their milk the latter must have been contamin ated by tho Hoot product. L. Johnson of Johnson tiros, was tried, found guilty nnd lined 2u and costs. Upon tho witness stand Chemist Carl Dummer testified that formaldehyde Is very injurious to the health, especially to the health of Infants, nnd that it Is a product of a rank poison known ns wood alcohol, He conducted several tests In tho presenco of tho court, disclosing the method by which the presence of formaldehyde In milk Is detected. Dummer MiiUm Nome TeslN. Knch of the threc-ouncn samples which had been taken from the milk cans of tho defendants July 21 was placed upon tho dCfck. There were also In cvldenco certain samples of pure milk and a bottle of liy drodorle acid. Taking 11 samplo of tho pure milk I'rof. Dummer dropped Into It nbout n half tcaspoonful of tho acid. Thcro wns no chango In tho color of tho milk. Then, putting a few drops of formalde hyde Into tho puro milk, he again added tho acid and Instantly the lacteal changed to bright purple. This demonstrated the action of hydro clorlc acid upon milk Impregnated with formaldehyde. The professor then dropped n small quan tity of thu ncld Into each of the tlvo sam ples of Impure milk und each of them turned a vivid purple. In the face of this chemical evidence tho defendants wero found guilty. City Prosecutor n. F. Thomns vigorously conducted tho cases anil is satisfied that all violators of the pure milk ordinance will be convicted. "Impurity In any food product Is to bo deplored," said he, "but impurity In milk is especially despicable, as thcro aro thousands of Infants nnd In valids In the city whoso lives aro sustained almost wholly by a milk diet. Tho stom achs of all such aro peculiarly scnsltlvo to impurities, so tho milkman virtually holds their lives In his hands." LONGER HOURS AT SCHOOL .student ut the llluli Scliool to lie tiUrn Klulit llonrH limleml nf Six it h I'drincrl.v. There will be several changes at the High school next year, all of them being made necessary by tho crowded condition of the school. Tho most important of these will bo tho lengthening of the school day from six poriods to eight. With tho number of avail ablo rooms In J lie High school building classes must bo too large to do good work when there arc but six periods. II y in creasing tho number of periods to eight a third moro recitations may be henrd during tho day, nnd If necessary classes decreased In size by one-third. When It Is staled that last year some classes contained as high as forty-eight pupils. It will bo readily seen that a reduction in size of classes Is abso lutely necessary If anything llko satisfac tory results aro to bo attained. School will begin, ns usual, nt 9 o'clock, but Instead of closing nt 2 o'clock, ns here tofore, It will contlnuo until about ft: 15, This Increase in tho length -of the school day does not mean necessarily that pupils must remain at the school building longer than heretofore. It Is now thought that ar rangements can be so mado as to require none to remain at school longer than six periods. All boys taking drill will be ex cused from claus work at 2 o'clock. Tho classes of tho last two periods of tho day will be composed largely of girls. Tho arrangement of classes as above sug gested may bring about n few changes In drill. In tho past when the wenther wns Inclement drill was given In tho hnlls of tho echool building. This can not be done for the coming year, for classes will be re citing during tho drill period. In order to get In as much drill as heretoforo more frequent drills will havo to be taken dur ing the fall and spring months and fewer during the winter months. During tho full three drills, probably, will bo required each week, in the uprlng a miniclent number weekly will bo required to make up tho de flclency.

Webster and Walkup held a meeting In a storo building at Sixteenth and Pino streets last night. As usual Webster played the big horn and drew tho crowd, while Walkup acted his usual part of pigtail and told again his talo of woe. Fred llruning. president ot tho Second Ward Republican club, presided nnd nt tho start thro was a good crowd, drawn out of curiosity to see and hear Web ster. After the crowd had become Inter ested In listening to republican doctrine na expounded by Webster, he gave way to his man Friday, who started in on his usual harranguc cn the Omaha police force. He virtually repeated his story of alleged wrongs as detailed at the Sixth ward meet ing last Saturday night, only he switched names in ouo Instance In order to make his sldo of tho caso stronger. After Walkup had tnlked for about ten minutes the crowd commenced to leave, but "this fact did not phaze the patriotic attorney from "tho First ward, for ho kept right on tnlklng nnd working his arms as If he had to say Just so much In order to earn his money. President urunlng saw that tho few who remained did not relish the dish Walkup was setting up nnd so ho interrupted tho speaker to say that tho club had mot to listen to republican doctrine and not to a talo of personnl grievances unfolded by n police court lawyer. Walkup wns a little staggered nt tho audacity of President llruning. but managed to maintain his composure long enough to nseert that tho only thing that would satisfy him was a board of flro and pollco commis sioners elected by tho people. He closed his llttlo story by advocating that tho repub licans get together and sco to It that a leg islature was elected that would voto for John L. Web9ter for United States senator nnd fo.- an elective pollco commission. Dr. M. O. Hlcketts followod with a state ment of his troubles, but ho didn't tnlk long, ns tho few who remntned to hear Wnlkup's closing remarks commenced mov ing toward tho door. On the outside one visitor called to n friend: "HIM, wait a minute nnd listen to what this guy has to say." It was evident that Hill hail had enough, as he replied: "I don't mind listening to n man who has somo sense, but I havo 110 timo to waste on such fellows as Rlckctts." In tho few minutes that Hlcketts spoke he told how tho pollco had harassed his "Tem ple ot Friendship" club, which, ho asserted, wns a purely charltablo organization and Mr. Wnlkup hnd the membership book to prove his statement. After paying fiis compliments to Captain Her and somo other members of the pollco forco Hlcketts subsided and the meeting adjourned. Webster In (lie l-'lrtli W111-1I, Upon tho Invitation of John L.
