At Tuesday's meeting of tho city coun
ell Mayor Moores again reproved the coun
cilman (or shouldering upon the chief
executive thi- responsibility of vetoing Im
provement which cannot bo made on ac
count of tho lack of funds.
Last week tho mayor vetoed an ordi
nance providing for tho establishment of
twelve additional water hydrants. Tho
resolution vetoed by tho mayor last night
was one which provided for the relocation
of several rub lights. His veto read:
I do not nndfrAt.md why the members of
your honorable body persist In ordering rcls
lamps mowd and eptalillshed when you all
know the condition' of tho IlKlitltis fund.
Thu city comptroller Informs rno that with

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 city poundmaator reported that 147
dogs wero Impounded during Juno. Of this
number twenty-six wero redeemed, 122 wore
drowned and nineteen are still In the pound,
Tho council approved tho reappointment
of V. C. Ives as momber of the board of
directors of tho Omaha public library.

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."

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?

result of lasl year's Fourth of. July cele

While still Incomplete tho street fair
has opened and the show will con
tinue until Saturday night, July 13. 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.
When the show opened yesterday Bond's
band, headed by Charlie Scarr, paraded
the principal downtown streets. Scarr was
a show In himself, us hu woro a pink shirt
waist of the latest pattern and carried a
battered parasol In lieu of a baton. 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. Chief Mitch
ell has plenty of men on regular nd ape
clal duty and he says that ho will not
permit disturbances of any kind.
IllKh School Property.
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.
As contractors have asked for further
tlmo bids for the building will not bo
opened until July 15. 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. It
Is estimated by Architect Davis that the
proposed building will cost $100,000.
City Clerk's Statement.
City Clerk Shrlgley has Issued the fol
lowing statement, showing the condition of
the city's finances on July 1:
Amount of 1000 levy, $110,484; amount
drawn to July 1, $104,467; balance on hand,
$6,017. By funds the balances arc:

$1,052; street repair (overdrawn), $25.67;
emorgency, $25; dog (overdrawn), $2; water,
exhausted; total overdrawn, $29.27.
Ntrcet Car Service.
It Is understood by managers of the
Street Fair that the service on the Omaha
lino will bo first-class during tho fair. At
tho present time twenty regular trains
are running, which gives a slx-mtnuto serv
ice. As soon as the crowds commence to
come to tho fair ten extra trains will bo
placed In service, which will make prac
tically a three-mlnuto service. At night,
when the travel will be the heaviest,
enough extra trains will be run to make
the trains about two minutes apart.
FltsRernlil'H Returns.
Tho Hoard of Review haa completed Us
work and Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald has
submitted IiIb final report. The total valua
tion, according to the figures given, Is
$2,552,872. When the commissioner com
pleted his work his figures showed a valua
tion of $2,470,306. While In session tho

ductions.' The net additions on lots and
lands amounted to $49,925 and on personal

Thentcrn In Snn Frnnclaco.
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. Companies piny there from
two to four weeks, howovor,- nnd nro well

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

PYTHIANS EXPECT EXPOSURE

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3. At the special
meeting of tho supreme lodgo, Knights of
Pythias, in Chicago next week, it Is under
stood a report will bo mado exposing per
sons alleged to have been Implicated In a
deal by which a former Illinois Insurance
commissioner received from a manager of
tho Knights of Pythias endowment rank
$3,500 for a "ticaranco card" and a letter
of recommendation for tho rank. 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.

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.
