Arrest of nn Oinnliti'I.iut for
ltif nlshlnic lliiior.
An amusing incident resulted from the
arrest of young Howard Hall, nn Omaha
hoy, Wednesday on the charge of supplying
liquor to some of the Indians attending
federal court. The boy v,as taken beforo
Commissioner Anderson In tho afternoon
for.. examination. Hts father accompanied
him. Ho denied the charge, but Deputy
Marshal Jim Allen was quite sure that ho
was at fault, l'olke Offlccrs Sauer and
I'nhey related how, last Friday mornloR,
they had seen younis Hall talking to some
odlans down on Capitol avenue near the
government building, and that Hall had
subsequently gone uway with ono of the
Indians, who In due time turned up drunk.
Ono of the Indians mixed up In the case
Is Frank Learning. He Is a typo of tho
Omaha tribe in appearance, and Is a typical
Indian of all tribes, in that he has an un
governable appetlto for whisky. Learning
was ono of the aborigines to whom Hall
was -necn talking and la thn same with
whom he Is said to have gono nway. Ho
had been brought down to Omaha as a wit
ncss In a case which came up last Frl
day, and when the case was called, Learn
Ing was too drunk to testify, wherefore,
Deputy Marshal Allen says, the govern
mcnt failed to conviot a culprit on sev
eral of tho counts charged against him for
selling liquor to Indians. Learning was
arrested for drunkenness and lay In tho
City Jail for several days. Ho was out
again, yesterday, however, but when he was
wanted as a witness In the case against
young Hall, ho was again found too drunk
to testify. .
IOvch I.lko lint I of I'lrr.
Aft ho sat In tho court while the hear
in'.Was going on he looked very much like
a ploco of animated bromo statuary except
that ho was reasonably well dressed and
wore a dreamy, leering expression with
llanilng eyes. Howard Frost, an Intelligent
redskin, told the story of how young Hall
lcd-Frank away, and. how when he returned,
ho .had .u bottlo of whisky. Then David
'Wells, unother Indian, took the stand and
by means of a few gutturals and grunts,
.rrhlch were interpreted by Frost, told the
-court of Learning's meeting with Hall, and
how when Learning came back from his
stroll with Hall bo had a bottle of whisky.
from which tho witness was given a gen
erous trwlg or two.
"That's what I wanted to bring out,'
ejaculated Deputy Marshal Allen, wbo was
conducting the campaign for Information
by means of a shower of questions. There
was a happy light in the deputy's oyw
us be said this that boded no good to the
besotted rednian.
"Como up here, Learning," fiercely com
' manded" Commissioner Anderson. The cul
. prlt nonchalantly staggered around a tablo
and took his place In the chair in front
of tho frowning court. He sighed deeply
f now and then with the weight of tho over
powcrlngJag .that was crushing his spirits
hut ho did not appear to know from Its ac
tlons that tho, court had It In for him bigger
than a base ball park.
"You ought to bo ashamed of yourself
Learning," suggested the court in a voice
of unusual strength and earnestness
ii "Every time you come down. ber-to. court'
' ...... .va ml
you cause a wnoio lot or irouDie. ins
other Indians come down hero and behave
, themselves, but you come dowu here and
- get drunk, drunk, drunk. You act like
regular loafer, and now I've got you Just
whero I want you. I am going to send you
to Jail under bond of J500 and try and get
you sober."
(iiiH to .lull Get Sober.
Ho accordingly made out the papers hold
Ing Learning In bond of $500 until tho next
term of court .for having given a drink
' of whisky to bis Asfcoelato representative
of aboriginal nobility,, whose Christian name
, Is David Wells, hut whpse Inherited cogno
men Is probably ChlefOet-AU-the-Whlsky
i ' He-Can. Tho bronze stutuo that posed as
a culprit was not cast down by the court'
Btcrn rebuke in the Joast. In fact, he did
'r not seem to know .that ho was the subject
of tho conversation, arjd when Deputy
Allen sternly commanded him to come
nlong and begin his term of servitude
tho county Jail, Learning did it as it
were a matter of course.
U .will be spmo time before the com
J paulnnohlt'i redskin will be permitted to
rcfuni 10 nis native uaums, ana wnen a
dors no will probably go back sober.
Howard Hall was discharged with
stern locturo by the court, which the father
. did not evidently seem to appreciate, owln
to tb'n slight conclusiveness of the testl
' mony that tho boy had furnished the In
' dlans tho whisky. .

Hurl of n ralnlcft
Olicriitlon.
Among other things that were demon
strated at the dentists' banquet last night
was the rcgretable fact that dentists, as a
tats, are not orators. No one could have
heard their responses to the various toasts
without realizing that they knew all about
how to bridge the chasm botwecn the molar
and blcuipcd ranges and how many rafters
it takes to properly trugs the roof of tho
mouth, but their forensic talent wan not
remarkable. It Is truo a dentist doesn't
have much practice In oratory. Tho most
he has to say Is, "Now, this Is going to hurt
you a little, but It won't last long," or "I
can put you In a temporary set for J1S."
Of course this Isn't calculated to foster the
graceful art of declamation.
It was also demonstrated that dentists
have excellent appetites, a welt-developed
sense of discrimination In foodstuffs and
vintages and that, as a rule, they have no
trouble In mastication.
The banquet at the Millard hotel last
night, designated as an "amalgam filling,"
was given by the Omaha nod Council Bluffs
dentists to the Neb'.aaka State Dental so
clety, now holding Its twenty-sixth annual
meeting In this city. One hundred covers
were laid and there was a dentist to each
cover. The tables were tastefully decor
ated. Dr. H. A. Foster of Omaha presided
as tostmaster with becoming grace and
modesty. Many of the responses were hum
orous and a general spirit of good-fellow.
ship prevailed. The following toasts did
not appear upon the program: "The Draw-
Hrldge and the Moat." Dr. C. K. Smith;
'Forceps with Velvet on Them." Dr. W
A. Ivory; "Inarticulate Crowns and Other
Humors of Court Life." Dr. C. 0. Metzler:
"Ann S. Thetlc. tho Model Girl," Dr. F.
J. Robertson; "How to Shingle a Roof
Without Nails," Dr. 8. H. Towle; "Tho
Crown of Gold and the Chair of Thorns,"
Dr. L. V. DavU.
Lion of the UvfiiIiik '
The lion of the ovcnlng was Dr. A. W.
Harlan of Chicago, editor of the Dental
Review, who responded to the toast,
"Dental Congresses and Societies." He was
Instrumental In launching the first dental
congress, which was held in Paris in 1359
He called attention to the strides that
have been rr.ado in. organized dentistry in
tho last elxty-two years, and said that
dentistry Is no longer a handicraft or
trade, but o profession and a science.
Dr. A. O. Hunt, dean of the Omaha Dental
college, told about "Dental Education." Ho
said that seventeen years ago n course of
ten months' study sufficed to complete the
education of a dentist, but that now three
years were required, add thlH with a high
school education as a preliminary rcqul
site. ' "
Other toasts were as follows: "A Toast,"
Dr. Clyde Davis, Lincoln; "Omaha Dental
College," Dr, W. N. Dorword, Omaha;
"Ideals," Dr. F. D. Shcrwln, Lincoln; "Tho
State Society," Dr. W. H. Sherradcn
Omaha; "The Dental Society," Dr. J. II.
Wallace, Omaha, and "The Relation of
Dental and Medical Professions," Dr. H. C
McClanahan, Omaha. The guests were wel
comed by Dr. A. H. Hippie and the response
was made by Dr. H. T. King of Fremont,
An attempt was made to elect officers, but
after tho choice of a president a misunder
standing arose and the remainder of the
election was deferred until today. Dr
Howard J. Hill of Alma was the choice of
the society for president, and Lincoln was
selected as the next meeting place.
Mora than 100 dentists attended the dera
onstratlons given at the Omaha Dental col
lege yesterday by members of tho Nebraska
Dental society. The following dentists took
part In the program: E. H. Naumann, Co

Yesterday forenoon engineers commenced
staking out ground for railroad tracks on
the north side of the plant. Tho Union
Stock Yards company will put In these
tracks under the supervision of Chief Engi
neer King and the work Is to be pushed as
rapidly as possible. Theso additional
tracks are for the purpose of facilitating
the handling of coal, salt and other ma
terial.
Anotner Improvement Is the rearrange
ment of tho power house. At the present
tlnio boilers ore distributed all over the
plant. Changes are to be made so as to
centralize tho power and electricity will
be used almost exclusively.
When the new tracks are completed the
loading facilities on the south side of the
plant will bo greatly Increased and room
will be made for nine more cars by ex
tending the loading platform.
The beef killing department Is to be en
larged for tho purposo of Increasing tho
capacity and also to arrange for the hand
ling of export beef. It Is announced that
when the Improvements In this department
are completed the company will bo able
to handle COO export cattle a week.
While the Improvements In all of the de
partments will be pushed, It Is etpectcd
that the work will occupy most of the sum
mer and employment will be given to quite
number of men.
City .Nntlfleo Mi'liool tillnrd.
In accordance with a resolution adopted
by tho city council at the Instigation of
Councilman Miller notice has been sent to
the Board of Education by Clerk Shrlgloy
asking the board to pay $1S9 as a portion
of tho expenso of tho school election last
,prll. What prompted Miller to come to
long enough to wrlto the motion he did Is
a mystery, but what is more surprising is
the fact that tho council stood for It and
the matter Is now ono of record. Never
In tho history of the city has the school
district been called upon to pay any por
tion of tho expenso of an election, but It
appears that Miller desires to establish a
precedent or something else, no one seems
to know Just what ho wants or thinks, as
ho Is as variable as tho kinds.
At any rate it Is safe to wager that the
Boanl of Education will not take cognizance
of the communication, neither will it pay
the bill, One member of tho board said
yesterday that notice had been taken of
Miller's motion and that an informal de
clslon had been reached to the effect that
Mr. Milter could keep on worrying about
that $189, as the board would never pay It.
ir a counter claim tho board acts out
The fact that at the present time ninety-
two saloons aro In operation In South
Omaha and only seventy-five have paid
In tho license fee. According to law the
city authorities should havo compelled tho
license money to bo paid In on May 1 nnd
If this had been done the high school
building would have now been under con
structlon, as contracts could have been lot
two weeks ago. Tho council Is, so It Is
stated, plainly to blame for this delay and
consequently the members of the Board of
Education will treat with scant courtesy
any communications emanating from that
body and especially those signed by August
Miller. Another feature is the repealing o
the occupation tax ordinance. Under exist.
Ing laws all moneys received from licenses
Issued for the sale of liquors go to tho
school fund. In times gone by the city-
has levied an occupation tax In addition
to the usual liquor license of $500, and this
tax has been turned Into tho treasury to
help tide affairs over until the levy Is
avatlablo In August of each year. A recent
decision Is to the effect that all license
money Is to be paid Into the school fund
and when the council found that the city
would not be benefited by the occupation
tax of $200 It promptly repealed tho ordln
once and let the school district out of
about $18,500 In legitimate receipts. Com
ing on top of these actions of the council
tho board has decided to pay no attention
to the demand for $1S9 election expenses.
Thnt Johnston Vint.
Considerable Is being written In an up
town sheet about the adoption of the plat
of Spring Lake pork addition, as sub
mitted by Ed Johnston. Martin and Dworak
seem to think that they have a grievance
against Johnston becauso the city council
was reorganized and they were left off
of some of the Important committees. Ily
hoodwinking Miller this pair secured
enough votes to block tho game nd thus
prevent tho sale of tho property which
was to have been placed on tho market In
a few days. Mr. Johnston has now about
fifteen applications for lots, but he cun
do nothing Just at this tlmo on account
of tho attitude of tho council. It was
stated yesterday that an open rupture in
the council was probable and If so there
will doubtless be some Interesting develop
roents.
Street t'omniUwlonrr Clnrk Working,
Street Commissioner Clark proposes to
get to work in a day or two and make re
pairs to wooden sidewalks all over tho city,
Attention will be paid first to the side
walks In the business portion of the city
and on tho streets where the fair will be
held. After these havo been taken care
of the suburbs will bo looked after. On
many of the streets tho walks are In bad
condition and need now planks and string
ers. These will be placed by the city and
tho cost taxed up to the property owner.
Toner Token Kxcr ptloim.
P. H. Toner takes exceptions to the
statements published In tho papers yes
terday in relation to his bid on harness
for the Brown park fire hall. He stated
to a Bee representative last evening that
Councilman Dworak called on hlra on May
10 and ordered a set of double harness,
pair or Hale patent collars and a set o
harness hangers. Dworak specified that
the harness was to be of .the very best
material and that is what wilt be furnished
the city. Toner asserts that the Hale
collars cost him $50 a set and the hangers
$25, which leaves $85 for the harness. In
concluding his statement Mr. Tonor called
attention to the fact that he mado the
harness now In use at lire hall No. 1 In
188S and it is still In first-class condition

Leo Coyne, another of tho defendants, was
acquitted at the last term of court, tho

been the one of Fee's assailants who dealt
the fatal blow. Floth was convicted of
manslaughter and wns let off with a sen
tence of three years in the penitentiary,
which he Is now serving.
Thus It Is that a three-year term In tho

The Progress of Pulmo
nary Disease.
Just n few years past n young wlfo
leaned upon the strong arm of n stalwart
husband. He was ;o big, so strong, that
sho felt a senso of perfect protection, of
complete security,
After so short a time tho once strong
rann leans heavily on the arm of his wife,
os ho feebly and slowly keeps paco with
her In tho regular walk which Is dally i
shortened because his strength falls dally.
That story scarce needs explanation, i
Almost anone will recognize the consump- j
tlvo In tho weak and wasted husband, who'
Is making his last stand against disease.
Tho prevalence of pulmonary diseases
Is a fact which should be squarely faced,
and tho danger of such dtseoses frankly
admitted. When this Is dono wo shall bo
ready to take prompt steps to euro dis
ease whoncvor it attacks the lungs or other
organs of respiration. Delay Is always
dangerous, often fatal. A great deal of
the mortality caused by disease In general,
and especially In the case of consumption,
may bo attributed to neglect which permits
tho malady lo root Itself firmly in tho sys
tem. . 1'ROMPT ACTION,
when the first symptoms of disease appear
will often bavo a serious and dangerous
Illness.
Dr. rierco's Golden Medical Discovery,
by Its cure of obstinate coughs, bronchitis,
weak lungs, etc., has established n reputa
tion as tho best and most rellablo put-up
medicine for the euro of diseases of the
organs of respiration. It Is not a mcro
"cough medicine," loaded with opiates or
narcotics which soothe but cannot effect
a permanent cure. "Ooldcn Medical Dis
covery" contains no alcohol, neither opium.
cocalue, nor any other narcotic, and the
healing which results from Its use proves
it a real strength-giving, body-bulldlng
medicine. s
"Only for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery I think I would bo In my grave to
day," writes Mr. Moses Miles, of Hllllard,
uinta co., Wyoming. "I had asthma so
bad I could not sleep at night and was
compelled to glvo up work. It affected my
lungs so that I coughed all the time, both
day and night. My friends all thought
that I had consumption. My wife has
taken Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it has helped her so much sho insisted
on my trying his 'Golden Medical Discov

"When I commenced
taking your medicines
eighteen months ago my,
health was completely;
broken down," writes
Mrs. Cora L. Sunderland
of Chaneyvlllo, Calvort
Co., Md. "At times I
could not ovon walk
across the room without
pains In my chest. Tho
doctor who Attended m
said I bad lung trouble,
nnd that I would never bo well again. At
last I concluded to try Dr. Plerce'H medi
cines. I bought a bottlo of Dr. Plorco'u
Ooldeit Medical Discovery, took It, and Boon
commenced to feel a little better; then you
directed mo to tako both tho 'Golden Med
leal Discovery' and Favorlto 'Prescription,'
which I did. Altogether I havo takoa
eighteen bottles of 'Golden Medical Dis
covery,' twclvo of tho 'Favorlto Prescrip

now almost entirely well, and do all my
work without any pain whatevor, and can,
