lug Howard Baldrlgo received the nssur
anco thtit unless the low stands in the
way Henry Uolln, Omuua'H former city
treasurer, now serving u nineteen yea'
sentenco In tlio penitentiary, would be
given conditional freedom on parole. Mr.
Hnldrlge naked for n commutation of llolln's
sentence, .but this refiucst was discour
aged by Oiu governor, who looked with
favor or. the parole plan.
In tho Interview thu question of the gov
ernor's authority to parole Ilolln was dts
'cilssed at length, but left unsettled. Tho
law applicable to eaRes of this 1:1ml pro
vides that no parole shall bo granted until
after tho prisoner shall have served tho
minimum sentence provided by tho statutes
for tho crime for which ho was convicted.
Ilolln was convicted on threo stparatc
charges and given thrco sentences of four,
llvo nnd ten years each. Together llicso
sentences nmnunl to nineteen years, but
with good tlmo deducted would expire
April IS, 1911. Tho first term of four years,
with good tlmo deducted, expired Juno 18,
1300.
To dctcrnilno tho minimum penalty for
tho offenses on which Ilolln was convicted
will require an examination of tho Indict
ment or complaint. In this city It Is be
llcvcd that he has already served sulllclent
tlmo to amount to tho minimum sentence,
but as the Jmpers used In tho ease arc not
accessible tho belief Is no moro than guess
work.

, Many a woman dresses to go out, feels
irresolute, sits down, and falls into a fit
of despondent musitiK. Ask her what's
the matter, and she'll probably answer
"Just the blues." And what arc the
blues? Only another name, in general,
for a disordered liver and a diseased
stomach. Cleanse the liver, heal the
stomach, purify the blood, and there'll
be no more blues. It can lc done by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Tins medicine puts the dis
rated orrjans of digestion nnd nutrition
into a condition of sound health. It
eliminates from the blood all impure and
poisonous substances, nnd cleanses the
:loggcd liver. It contains neither al
cohol nor narcotics.

Any Amendments.
Tho city council, which existed for the
Inst year, adjourned without day last night.
Four members retired 10 private life.
These were Johnston Clifton. FItle and
Trnlnor. After a mass of routlno business
had been transacted the mayor, who oc
cupied tho chulr, appointed a committco
rompofcd of Johnston, Clifton and Adklns
to canvass the vote cast at the last election.
The result wns announced In a resolution
offered by Johnston to the effect that J. J.
Fitzgerald bad been elected tax commis
sioner and that J. I.. Kubat, J. H. I.oech
ner nnd J. M. Murphy had been elected as
members of tho Hoard of Education.
In each esse tho vote was given and It
varied only by seven from tho figures given
In Tho Beo on the morning nfter election,
When Johnston of tho Fourth ward arose
to move that the council adjourn sine die
ho mado a few complimentary remarks to
Mayor Kelly and the other members of the
body for the courtesy that he, as the
only democrat In the body, had received
during tho last year. Tralnor did tho same
thing, but Clifton declined to talk nt all.
In response to tho remarks of Johnston
and Tralnor Mayor Kelly responded In an
appropriate manner nnd nssurcd the re
tiring members that ho respected them
highly, even though thero might havo been
slight differences of opinion between the
rouncll nnd the chief executive during the
last year.
Immediately after adjournment tho four
holdover councllmcn met and agreed to
hold n session nt 2 o'clock this afternoon
for the purpose of reorganizing. At this
session It will bo nccctaary for a president
o be named, and then the committees will
be named, As soon ns tho redisricting or-
dlnaneo Is pnscd the mayor will be called
upon to appoint two councllmen to fill tho
vucanclcs created by the establishment of
wo additional wards. According to tho
charter the city will hnve, from this time on
only six councllmen instead of eight.
J axon altogether, the session which
promised at the start to bo n stormy one.
passed off quietly nnd there wns no trouble
of nny kind. It wns thoueht that there
might bo some trouble when Fitzgerald was
Bworn In as tax commissioner, hut thero
was not a murmur from the opposition and
rltzgcrnld is now tax commissioner of
South Omaha and will assume his duiles
at once.
One of the first things submitted to the
council nfter the minutes had been ap
proved came from Johnston nnd that was
n document revising the rules of tho coun
cil. These rules are numerous nnd were
adopted without comment. The old rules
held good under the old charter, but Mr.
Jonnston had written n revision providing
ror me new charter, and quite a chance In
the usual method of doing business was
made,
Next In order camo tho ordinance divid
ing tho city Into six wards. It was read
for tho first time and refcrrod to the Ju
uiciary committee. wnuo there Is no
sure thing that tho city will bo divided a
provldod In this ordinance It la cxncctcd
mat tne main features will be main

A petition was read signed by a number

Tho appraisers appointed some time ngo

As Is customary In such cases, tho out

Clerk !iiksi'"I dinnicr.
City Clerk Shrlglcy Is preparing to make
number of changes In his office on account
f the rapid Increase In business. When
the changes proposed are In force there will
ho little, If any, difficulty In finding pa
pers, ns a complete Index system will bo
used. All claims against tho city will bo
indexed nnd It will bo the same with pon
tons, A special book for petitions will be
prepared nnd In this book will be n certified
copy of all petitions filed. With the proper
Index any petition can be found In a mo
ment. As It Is now the original files have
to be hunted over nnd sometimes It takes
several hours lo dig a desired document
out of the vault. By the removal of the
papers of the city engineer from the clerk s
vault there will be added room and n place
can bo mado for flics whlcji aro now pneked
way.
The proposed change In the system of
keeping the city's books will not add to the
expenses of tho office to nny extent, ns the
price of the books to be used will
amount to but very little.
Improvement In .Minor Service.
Assurance has been given by officers of
the Omnhn Street Railway company that
the lino on Thirteenth street will be ex
tended this summer to Missouri nvenue nnd
thence to Twenty-fourth street. It Is
feared, however, that tho death of two
prominent directors, J. J. Brown nnd Cap
tain Marsh will delay action for a time.
A meeting of the directors has been cnllud
for this week, but there Is little chnncc of
a quorum bolng present and so the appro-
prlatlon for the Improvements will go over
for another month. Tho people on the
cast side of the city want street car serv
ice of some kind nnd nsscrt that If agitation
will do It they will win In the long run.
The l.nlior Temple Project.
A ball was given at tho Exchange last
night for the purpose of raising funds for
the proposed labor temple. General Man
ager Kenyon of the Union Stock Yards
compnny generously donated tho use of
tho building, thus saving the building com
mittee from any expense. Tho committees
n charge of the affair were printed In The
Beo only a few days ago nnd as nearly
every one Is familiar with tho names of
the chief workers In the project there Is no
necessity for a repetition. From every point
of view tho ball was a success and quite n
sum will thus bo turned Into tho building
fund.
KlnR 'Working llnril.
W. S. King, chief engineer of tho Union
Stock Yards company Is working hard on
the new fnncy stock sale pavilion. Yester
day's good weather permitted Mr. King to
increase his working force and Inst night
the foundations for tho big building were
practically completed.,, l'rom this time on
tho construction of the .balance of tho
building will be pushed In order that tho
sales billed for next month may be held In
the new building. In caso It becomes neces
sary Engineer King will employ a night
force and continue tho work, dny and
night, until the building Is completed.

tho good weather continues Manager Davis
expects to commence laying new mains

are that the first work done will bo In the
eastern part of tho city. It Is understood
that tho gas company will lay at least two
miles of mains here during th" summer.

In undisguised eagerness to see what

Allen nml Miss Walker. Master Lcroy
Illoomflcld, nn Infant prodigy In full dress,
with cane and silk hat, ncrompnnled tho

by the colored people, comprising n duet
by C. H. Mnrrs and P. P. Phillips of thn
Marlon Harmony quartet, a solo by Phil
lips and "The Congrcgutlon Will Please
Keep Their Seats" by John Green. If the
