Mure Time tn lip Nun? tif 'I'livtr I 'Inure. ,Tho second of The Uce'a ilot counting contests started with n Imp ami Incident ally with .i mighty bcrainlilp. Animated, apparently, by a eouiuion faith In the ndago that It Is tho early sparrow that guts the grub, everybody vied good naturcdly with overybody otee In (ho effort to bo first lu with a count. One ambitious woman from Council Uluffs even filed a guess Saturday, before she. or nuyouc olso outside thu busi ness manager's private ofTlcc had ever seen the plate. It was purely a guess, but she had consulted the stars, a book of palm istry, perhaps, or had a dream and was willing to risk a little JUHt on her luck. Sunday evening, howovcr, tho scramblo began In earnest. Tho linotypes had scarcely been started on tho Monday morn Ins; "copy," and the dot nlato was still un der lock ond key when thi clovntor man began to get busy. Some of tho callers at Tho Deo building oamu. alone, but many came In pairs, and all. with the common query: "How soon can we get a copy of the morning paper?" Many frankly said that they would bo satisfied with the stato edition, printed at midnight. To all of these, hs to nil who ma do similar Inquiry by telephone, thcro was but tho one unswer that no paper could bo had by anyone in Omaha until tho city edition wa3 ready for general distribution. Not- a few seemed prepared for this reply and resigned themselves to an all-night vigil. Among the callers at the editorial rooms wero two undaunted women who had secured an ofllco on n lower lloor of tho building and wero ready to begin counting at 2 a. in., having slept tho curlier part of tho night that they might bo fresh and clear-headed. Tho foreman had ono copy of the first edition, but tho dot section was cut out and destroyed tho moment it reached hU desk. The night editor and tho managing editor each had another "copy and both wero guarding them even moro zealously than they would a "scoop" and that rep resents tho limit of caution. Crunil llt'uln" I" ('milt'. Ily midnight tho elevator man had more company than ho could count, but eventu uUy, when It became known that the car riers and nOwsboys wero first supplied nt tho alley door, thoro was a general migra tion to tho latter point of vantage. At 2:30 a.' m. tho crowd began growing still larger. Tho i enforcements catno from all direction and at tho end of nn hour tho alley wns as well populated as Is Fnrnnm street at noon. .Nor was diversity lacking. A professor of penmanship from far out on Clifton Hill chatted with a smelter work man's son from East Umnha. A well known clerk In an uptown ofllco peered In through the same window that n newsboy was guard ing. There wero mon with Van Dyko beards and youths with no prospect of any beard for years to come. Some women wero among tho waiters, huddled In tho cnglno loom doorway by themselves. Tho Inevitable "wlso guy" was also pres. cut, with a tip from "n personal friend who was next to ono of tho editors," which tip was that the plate wns twenty Inches long by two Inches wide and had 100 dots to tho square Inch. Tho "W. O." was a center of Interest until nn unfeeling newsboy offered to bet two bits that ho was "full of bluo mud," when tho crowd seemed suddenly to loso faith nnd Interest in him. At 3:50 a. m. tho first paper wns thrust through tho wicket and tho tug of war was on. Tho crowd struggled Into tho small hall bctweon tho alloy door and tho freight elevator shaft, hurled themselves at tho wicket and crowded, pushed and elbowed until tho proverbial boxed sardines wero wholly outdono In tho matter of tight squeezing. Diminutive "newsies," qulto out of breath, but with an ubundnncc of de termination, wriggled between adult legs and got their supply of papers among tho earliest. Tho first paper that reached the alley was sold to a medical student who gladly paid ,n dollar for it and sprinted for his room to begin counting. Tho third paper sold equally well, but from then on the price declined gradually to n half-dollar, a quarter and finally under protest to ten cents, nt which latter prlco the papers wero held until the crowd In tho alley was well supplied and the newsboys scampered to tho streets, where, fired by tho excttemout of tho. moment, they persisted iu calling tho edition nn "cxtry." First (in on Com I'm In. At 3:59, Just nine minutes after tho first paper was sold, a circulation clerk who had been at the subscription window In the business ofllco of Tho Deo slnco 3 o'clock ready to supply nny Information that might bo wanted, was confronted by tho first con testant. Ho bud not counted the dots. Ho wished morely to mako a blanket guess, basing his estimate on tho general slzo of the dot plate. He paid J15 t cash on his .subscription und named 100 numbers. Oth ers adopted the same plan during tho next few minutes and then, at 4:21), a man from ffia country Lass, Health in her beaming eyes, health in her glowing check, health in her merry laugh. Yet country air ami country hours can't save her from the common experience of women an experience which dulls the eye, pales the cheek, and turns the laugh to n sigh. Womanly ilia come to almost all. But for these ills there is help and healing n Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription. It regu late the ncriods, 6tops unhealthy drains, . cures inflammation, ulceration nnd fe male weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. MU I'.tls Bapn, of Jimntown, Guilford Co., X.

With hut little filth I tried it. and before I hid taken half i bottle I felt better hid better appetite lud slept better. Now I am hippy to say 1 am entirety cured, and all done in two months' time, when all other medicines hid filled to do any good at all." Biliousness is cured hy the use of Dr, Pierce's FUunnt rcllcU. A Council Uluffs, who had been among the nllcflltrhf vlullnnta Milmlnw w i I tho first actual count. Ho was not certain that It was right, but It was a count any- wuy which ho considered nt least safer than a mere guess, so he turned It in. A second man had helped him at one of tho desks In the business ofllcc, and all about the room outsldo the desk wicket were other natr U'npUlnrv llttirltf Snmii nt lhlm fln Ished In the course of the next hour, some not until S or 9 o'clock and some not at all. Incidentally It may be related as one of the amusing features of the contest that scveial sly offers were made to employes of the paper for advance Information. One printer was offered $10 for a proof of tho pinto Saturday Sunday evening another member of thu composing room staff was cornered nt lunch time by n gentleman whose extravagance Is proverbial and of fered the dazzling sum of 10 cents, cash down, for a copy of the early edition. The futility of such effort will bo readily ap parent to those who nro familiar with The Heo's methods. As for securing Insldo In formation from any employo now that the plate Is printed, that, too, Is Impossible, since tho secret Is known only to the de signer of ths plate, who lives some hun dreds of miles Jrora Omaha and who will send the diagram plate with the correct total only when The Doe Is ready to make up the list of winners after the contest closes. NEW RULE FOR FIREMEN Mtml ,ol Trrnpna I'pnn Union l.nbor I niter I'mnlly of Dismissal from Service. Any member of the Arc department who performs nny sort of labor which Is con trolled by a trade union will be dismissed. Such was tho rule adopted by the Board of Fire nnd Police Commissioners Inst night. A cotnmltteo of plumbers, composed of It. J. Malcolm, J. C. Lynch and M. Pcnde- grast, Hppedrcd before the board and com plained that Chief Itedell of the lire de partment has compelled his men to do work which should be given to plumbers. Sim ilar complaints have been made by other unions. To avoid any further friction be tween tho board and the unions tho com missioners Issued orders that any fireman who performs labor that falls within the province of any union will bo summoned before tho board and dismissed. The board criticized Chief Hcdcll for his treatment of Herbert Goldsborough, a fire man who was recently employed nt fire house No. 3. Tho mnu wns tried ns a driver, but Captain Sullivan found he was Incompetent for such work. A complaint was brought beforo the board last week and tho commissioners asked Captain Sulli van to try tho man for sixty days more. Qoldsborough was transfcrcd to flro house No. 4 and compelled to drive. Another complaint went to the board last night, but the members refused to tako any nctlon concerning It becauso they believe the man ling not had fair treatment.

Tho first business was a report of tho committee on billboards and posters, given by Mrs. Damon, who told of tho success of thnt committee In securing an ordinance prohibiting tho posting of objectionable bills and regulating generally billboard ad vertising. While the ordlnanco contained many things tho women had not suggested, tho cotnmltteo indorsed It, and though tt will not becomo a law In Kb proscnt form, tho cotnmltteo has, tho nssurnnce of general support to n modified ordinance that will correct the evil. As the club will celebrate Its anniversary on April 24, It was proposed that the cel ebration bo In the nature of a banquet, to be given In ono of the hotels nnd that ?l or ll.&O a plate will be tho limit of expense, to bo shared by not less than 150 members. A discussion of the question brought qut strong opposition to tho plan, the women believing they wero too busy an organlia tlon with too much to accomplish to de vote such an outlay to a feast. It was ex plained, In Justice to the parliamentary prnctlco department, from which the sug gestion had come, that It was their original Intention to make tho anniversary an oc casion for tho meeting of all clubs of the stato that cared to send representatives, that tho banquet should be given in cele bration and that tho aim of the affair was to establish a closer relationship. A rising vote was called for and halt n dozen women stood In tho affirmative. Mrs. K. It. Towlc of tho National Chil dren's Home society spoke In tho Interest of that organization. The society was es tablished In Nobraska seven years ago and has secured homes for -ISS children, nluety eight of whom havo come from Omaha. Among the guests was Dr. Newland nf San Kranclco, who stopped In Oraaba cn routo to hir homo after a tour of Europe. She wu6 Incited to tho platform and, after a few bright remarks on women and their work Hbroad, recited a poem relating how Independence bad been first suggested to John Adams by bis wife. Mrs. W, P.

It provides that nn annual license of $2J shall be paid by all collectors and dealers In Junk. This license was thought to be excessive for men who en gaged In gathering up old metal and the counclltoen agreed to reduce their license fco to 2. A communication from the Board of Edu cation usklng for an Investigation of the lines collected by the city was considered.

The Grand Old Man of local musical popularity and national celebrity as a singer of the stirring strains of patriotism Jules Lumbard wus greeted with tremendous bursts of npplause from an audience which filled tho capacious Boyd theater last night In respect to him who hud lulled audiences to pcuuefulncss by hln "Maggie" for years and years In this vicinity and who hud told many times before to the peoplo of Omaha how ho only feared und loved the glamour of drooping lashes and was not at all frightened by foes In shining armor. But Jules Lumbard met no foes last night, nor could h'o hnve found one hnd he tried, but without enmity or polemic strategy he took captive once moro tho willing citi zens of Omaha with no weapon savo his mellow voice and no ammunition save his silvery locks nnd his Lumbardcan Kmltp.

Mr. Steckelberg brings forth a profound tone from his new-old violin and his popularity is merited. Mr. Garclsscn sang his Malloy song with considerable vocal stylo and with much interpretative qffect. Ho responded to an encore. Mr. Moody, a tenor with a voice, but not overburdened with cultivation or stylo, sang Mascberonl's popular ballad, "For AH Eternity," which for some reason wus programed under Its Italian title. Tim absurdity of substituting "Eternamcnto" for the title aboo mentioned, when the song was sung In English, was an ama teurish attempt to piopltlate tho "foreign" mania. The Harmony quartet sang fairly well, Dut, lho, nm, shmlld , be strict pitch Is udbercd to. The accompa niments wero well taken caro of by Mis. Herman Kountzc, Miss Peterson and Mr. J. E. Dutler.
