I'mfrM I llntcrcil. A protest concerning the specifications for paving was presented to tho council by C. D. Woodworth. In his communication ho maintained that tho specifications bar Sher man gravel from competing for paving con trnnts In rOmaha, Tho specifications allow n-silbbaxo of icrushcd stono and sand under brick and asphalt, but require a aubbaso of Sherman gravel where that material Is UBCd for surfacing. Sherman gravel Is much more expensive than crushed stone-. On this account Mr. Woodworth maintains thai, tho disintegrated granite will be barred from competition unlets tho council Is will ing to liavo It laid on a cheapor base.

Tho mooting adjourned, subject to tho call of tho extcutlvo committee LOOKS GOOD TO MR. JOHNS Editor of the St. tonli Post-Dispatch Talks ai Omaha I'roa perttr. Gcorgo S. Johns, editor-in-chief of the St. Louts Post-Dispatch, who Is a member of the St. Louis party now, domiciled as guests of Colonel J. J. Dickey at his country home near Ucnaon, declares that Omaha Is a good town, no matter what the census reports say as to population. Mr. Johns, who U a mixture of Mlssourlan and Virginian, had never been to Omaha until ho, nrrlvcd hero Sunday morning. Whllo Inspecting Tho neo ostobllshmcnt yesterday hq said: "I am delighted with Omaha. It Is a great town and Tho Deo Is a great newspaper. One always hears Tho Deo mentioned In the samo breath with Omaha. 8o far as my observation has extended, Omaha must bo moving along on a prosperous basts." Mr. JohnB, who Is now at the head of Mr. Pulitzer a St. Louis newspaper property alnco Florence D. White removed to New FOOD AND WEATIIKR. Trmncrntnre lucrcnaril or Keduccd lir Food. Tho old army ration for tho tropics has boen very sharply criticised for the reason that It consists of articles of food that any jiomon even slightly acquainted with tho elaments of food knows is not adapted to tho needs of tho human system In hot weather. Nature- shows forth In tho scloc Hon of food by Inhabitants of various countrlen; for Instance, the Esquimaux In a cold climate selects heavy, carbonaceous foojs, tallow, bacon, and such; while tho Hindoo and Inhabitants of hot countries turn to tho cereals for sustenance We should follow this hint of nature, and particularly In hot weather should avoid much butter, meat or any of that clais of food. Perhaps a llttlo meat onco a day Is not nmlss, even In hot weather, but tho breakfast and luncheon should be made of fruit, one or two slices of entire wheat bread and somo drape-Nuts and cream. Grape. Nuts nro mcntlcned, becauio they furnish the Ideal cereal food In a most oal- alnblo and delicious form, In addition to which, they are ready cooked and require no attention wnaievor from the cook. A person can pass through weather that may be Intensely hot, In a comfortable manner, It tho food be proporly selected and the above suggestions' can be put Into practico with most excellent results. York, Is yet a young man, although he has had wide experience. He Is conceded to be one of tho most versatile and accomplished editorial writers In tho Mississippi valley and had charge of the Post-Dispatch edi torial page for several years prior to his promotion to tho position of editor-ln-chlef. This outing In Omaha Is Mr. John's annual vacation. With other members of the party ho will return to St. Louis In about u week. BAN PUT ON THE TOY PISTOL ('hlt'fiKii l'tillm Ilctcmiliiril to Stn' tin; Salt- of the l)enU I'ln) tliltiK. "Tell every man on beat that he must vltlt all places In his territory where tire works and toy pistols aro sold and put an Immediate stop to tho sale of tho toy pis tols, under pain of arrest and thorough prosecution. The selling of toy pistols Is a violation of tho ordinance and will not bo tolerated. The mayor's orders on that point are strict." Chief of Police O'Neill thus took tho Fourth of July toy pistol and Its venders under his personal supervision last night and every shopkeeper will be summarily dealt with who continues to defy the may or's proclamation and the final warnings of tho police, says tho Chicago ltecord Herald. Officers were notified last night by tho abovo order to visit every storo and stand whero fireworks aro being offered for sale, to search thoroughly In boxes, hidden cases, vaults and cellars for the dangerous articles and to confiscate the fctock where proprietors persist In selling pistols and revolvers to the small boys. Dy this latest move on the part of the city's officials It Is hoped that the danger will bo checked this year. The mayor Is determined that his proclamation shall be recognized and the superintendent of po lice declares that his department will do all In Its power to enforce It. "I mean business In this matter," said Chief O'Neill lust night while his per-- emptory notice was being sent over tho police wires to every corner of tho city. "Theso shopkeepers will realize by to morrow morning that we are In earnest. For a few days we gave them a chance to act as patriotic citizens In this matter aud they have failed miserably most of them have to meet us half way. If they did not know It before they certolnly have not the excuse of Ignnranco now, for they have been told that tho toy pistols aro extremely dangerous." Mayor Harrison said yesterday that he had done all he could to protect the children and the city from this form of Tourth of July evil and that tho chief would now take hold of the matter. He said: "When I Issued the prohibitory proclamation I did not do so In Jest. I meant what I said, and the police depart ment will show tho storekeepers that wo mean business. If my own boy tries to play with one of theso pistols he will get n thorough spanking." Of so much Importance Is tho matter considered In tho city hall that tho health department has Issued an appeal In Its weekly bulletin. It reads: Tho attempt of tho health department to restrict Fourth of July tetanus, .or lock jaw, by securing the confiscation and des truction of the toy pistol having failed, It remains for tho police to carry out to tho letter the order for tho arrest of anyono firing the murderous llttlo machine. There were twenty-nine deaths from toy pistol lockjaw last year In Chicago, the first oc curring on June 29 and tho last July 14. Have parents no responsibility In this matter? The casualty statistics In Chicago as a result of lasl year's Fourth of. July cele bration -further emphaslzei4hjo.jlmpoTtaVice of this appeal to mothers and fathers.

A dozen or more booths wero erected yes terday and more will bo put up today. The heavy rain of Mondav compelled carpen ters r.nd decorators to cease their labors, so that tho work of preparation was u number of hours behind. Members of the board of control aro now Installed In olllccs at 116 North Twenty-fourth street, on tho ground lloor, whero tho business of the association Is being transacted. President Cheek and Secre tary Watklns are In attendance all of tho time und aro transacting tho business which comes with tho air of veterans.

Fol lower; the parade the band rendered sev eral selections at the stand erected at Twenty-fourth and N streets. Visitors to tho number of several hun dred were on hand to view tho sights and some of tho sideshows did a good business. There was considerable talk about tho Musical union boycotting the fair on ac count of Its employing Bond's band. Pres ident Chock stated that a committee from the American Federation of Labor visited York and Inquired Into tho standing of the band and gave the association written per mission to employ Mr. Bond and bis mu sicians. Tho South Omaha Hospital association and a number of churches will bo repre sented In either buildings or booths, whero refreshments will be served. Business men wero a little slow yesterday In getting out their displays, but this was accounted for by tho delay caused by the storm. On account of the activity In building and decorating booths there was no special attempt made to follow out tho program as already outlined for the first day. By this evening It Is expected that every thing will bo In first-clnBS shape, and that nearly all of tho booths will be decorated and contain displays of various sorts. An excellent program has been prepared for July 4 by tho management and arrange ments are being mado to take care of n largo number of visitors. From the looks of the booths there will bo no trouble about securing plenty of food and light drinks. Sideshows of various kinds aro springing up everywhere and the streets are taking on a regular midway air. Tho best of order prevails.

With the purchase of additional Iota on tho north of the original slto secured for a High school building the district Is now In possession of land having a frontage on Twenty-third street of 360 feet. This In eludes tho entire halt block from J stroet on the north to K streot on the south. The lots havo a depth of . ISO feet. An al ley twenty feet In Vldth extends from J to K streets, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, and tho suggestion has been made that the city vacate five feet of this alley In order to give the High school grounds that much more spaco. It Is asserted that thcro can bo no objection from property owners to doing this, as a fifteen-foot alley will servo the needs of those who rcsldo on tho property fronting Twenty-fourth street. In speaking of the purchaso of the ad dltlonal lots yesterday, President Bulla of the Board of Education said that now the new High school building would havo plenty of room and thcro would be space for lawns, flower beds and walks. Tho proposed building will front on Twenty-third street, with wings extending west on J and K streets.

On account of tho recent call for warrants Issued by the treasurer of tho school district only $9,318 remained to the credit of tho school fund t tho close of business Juno 30. Of this sum, $6,500 will bo paid for a site and with other Incidental expenses the balance will bo materially reduced. However, there 1b to come license money from about five saloon, which are now reported to bo run ning without license, the stnto apportion ment and tho annual levy of 20 mills. Tho overlap Incurred In years past has vir tually been wiped out by the recent pay ments made by the treasurer and the board starts out with almost a clean sheet.

During his visit In San Francisco Mr. Bur gess made tho rounds 'of the theaters nnd was not favorably Impressed. ''Tho streets are crowded nt night In a manner remind ful of Paris," he said, "and everybody secme In search of amusement. I was somowhat disappointed In the theaters, Nono of tho eight buildings Is pretentious. Most of thorn afford only stock company and vaudeville attractions. Thcro Is only ono first-class theater In tho city. Omaha has three or four times as many attractions as San Francisco docs, as tho latter only averages about thirty flrat-class perform ances a year.

Of all tho theaters there I "found the Tlvola tho most interesting. It has been running for twenty-two years and presents noth'tng but comic opera.- This Is surprising, consider ing that comic opera Is not often 'profitable. It Is managed by a woman' and sho has mado a success of It." Speaking of southern California, Mr. Bur gess said It was well worth tho enthusiasm expended In, Its praise. A Visit to Santa Catallna Island was most enjoyable, espe cially the excursions In glass-bottomed boats through which tho fish and shells can bo seen thtrty feot below. "I didn't cntch a tuna, and so was not eligible to member ship In tho Tuna club. This organization requires that its members shall each have landed ono of theso 150-pound monsters."

Union B. Hunt, secretary of stato, who Is a su premo representative In tho order, will at tend the meeting of tho supreme lodgo and will favor an Investigation and Indictment of the offenders, It thero Is evidence to warrant such action. The story Is that tho $3,500 bought a roport showing that an Investigation had been mado nnd that tho endowment rank's affairs had been found satisfactory. Later tho Illinois and Connecticut Insurance au thorities began an Investigation of tho rank. This Is not yot finished. C. F. S. Ncai of Lebanon, manager of tho endow ment rank, sanctioned the present Investi gation and has been assisting In carrying it through. The commissioners making it unearthed tho $3,500 payment. Mr. Hunt does not know who woro Im plicated In tho transaction, but says Mr, Neal 1r not mixed up in it In any way oxcopt to give It a thorough Investigation, Tho latter Is reported to have made affi davit In Chicago last Saturday touching the alleged payment and tho affidavit Is said to be In tho bands of the Illinois Insurance commission.

The students to the number of 300 held n public meeting near the statue of Columbus. Stlrrlug speeches wero made, showing tho Intense ftcllug of the young men and denouncing the recent Immorali ties of tho few ptlests who It was claimed havo been shielded and not punished.

A company of mounted gendarmes pre served order and the demonstration was witnessed by Governor Coral of the federal district and by Chief of Police Vllleg.il. Tho students, accompanied by n great num ber of people from tho lower classes, marched up San Francisco street and on tho way the pollco nrreitcd three men for Insulting women whllo going to mass. By this tlmo tho crowd numbered fully 3,000 people and mado Its way toward the church of Santo Domingo, whero the Dominican Fathers officiate. Part of the crowd entered during mass when the church wns filled with worshipers, mostly women. Shouts wero raised of "Death to tho priests!" "Down with the clergy!"

Tho women present wero terrified and tho pollco mado several ar rests, but many of tho prlsonors were after ward released. Tho leaders among tho students had counseled moderation nnd against making a disturbance, but tho mob was apparently bent on showing Its feeling toward tho clergy. In tho afternoon people assembled for prayer In tho cathedral and other churches and today tho Catholic peoplo aro offering prayer for the enomlcs of religion. Precautions havo been taken to prevent further trouble, but It Is believed that If several priests who aro publicly de nounced In tho press are not punished tho young men may make an attempt to Invndo tho temples. Public opinion Is divided as rcgnrds tho demonstration mado by tho students, but tho liberals nnd non-Catholics consider that tho clergy will now bo com pelled to demand tho expulsion of tho priests who have been cnuslng public In dignation to reach fover height.
