He speaks lu glowing terms of the south and was much Impressed with the spirit of enterprise which Is becoming manifest In that part of the country. "The south Is getting In line to bo one of the best sections of the union," said Mr. Hlchardson. "I was surprised as well as extremely gratified to find that tho solid, conservative business men have as a rule turned their thoughts from politics and taken up tho work of developing their states along Industrial lines. Among this class of pcoplo I found that there was a general tendency to be fully satisfied with tho policies of the natlonnl administration In business and political affairs. Mr. Ilryan has no real following among tho thoughtful men of tho south. They vote the demo cratic ticket solely on account of the race question and have but little sympathy with the vagaries which have captured tho national democratic party In latter years. South I I'roNiieruu. "As a result of these conditions tho south Is looking forward In every direction to the best there Is In tho country. As a phaso of this new development tho train of the National Good Hoads association was welcomed wherever It stopped. Tho first stop of the train was nt New Orleans, after leaving Chicago accompanied by a number of government experts and persons Interested In the good roads movement, April 20.

At Green ville, Miss., wo went to work on the "buck shot" land of tho Yazoo delta and found that the experts had at last discovered a method of handling that earth, for after tilling and draining we built a mile of road which was really the first good road ever seen In that part of tho country.

Tho course of the proposed canal for tho I'lattc river power scheme has been In spected by Engineers Arnott unit Rottor, who aro reported to have been much pleased with tho country. City Unglneor Rosewater, who made the original survoy for tho canal, accompanied the Inspecting party and explained the plans. The party went to Octavla, whero the lntako of tho canal Is to be, and drove along tho course where It left the railroad, It was estimated by tho engineers that the flow of water In the Platto at tho Intake of tho canal Is 3,000 feet per second, or three times as much water as Is estimated to be necessary to operate the canal suc cessfully The flow of water was much The old proverb j "To be at peace prepare for war," is the secret of the larger part of life's successes, whether of nations or individuals, The difference between the healthy, happy mother who has healthy children to nurse and nourish, ami the weal:, nervous mother, with i weakling child, is mostly a difference of preparation. The great preparative for motherhood is Dr. Pierce's I-uvorite Prescription. It tranqulllzes the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength to give her child. It imparts elasticity mid strength to the organs of maternity so that the baby's advent is practically painless.

MANY KNIGHTS FROM ABROAD Vlaltor from .Velirnskn, Wyoinlns mill .Mure Dlatunt Mate Initiated nt Hen of Atf-Snr-Ilrn. The temperature at the den of Ak-Sar-Ben last night was Ideal and all nature smiled upon the hardy knights and squires who presented themselves for initiation Into the mysteries of the frozen north, pre paratory to being enrolled In the band of noble knights who support tho throne of the gracious ruler of the realm of eternal Joy and prosperity. There were many from abroad who of fered homage to the modern king and among them were T. H. Lee of Los An geles, Cal., Q. A. Chapman of Valentine, James Turner of Kansas City, Herman Stein of Friend, Charles Story of Sheridan, Wyo., C. E. Wllklns of Waterloo, Judge James Hassett of Papllllon, Charles Merrlam of Detroit and P. C. Villa of Winona, Minn. Previous to the ceremonies at the den the board of governors held their regular weekly meeting at the Omaha club and made preliminary arrangements for a scries of excursions from different parts of tho state. It was decided to Invite the cltlrens of Norfolk. West Point, Wlsner, Stanton, Hooper and probably those of Fremont to visit the city and become mem bers of the order August 12, the night upon which the editors of tho stato will be re ceived Into tho order. The following week the residents of tho stations along the Union Pacific between Omaha and Columbus, Including those of the latter city, will be Initiated Into the mysteries of the Nebraska order of knighthood.

At the meeting of the board the ques tion of selling advertising privileges was considered and It was decided to publish no ofllclal program. It was further de cided to make no paper this year the official publication of tho order, but to supply each paper with photographs of the floats and of tho grounds with their most attractive scenes, so that all pictures can bo published simultaneously. ANOTHER OBSTACLE LOOMS UP Thirty-Third Street Property Owners HcfUHe to Accept Conilemnn tlnn Wnrrnutn. Another obstacle to tho passage of the nrriinnnr.. nrovldlnc for the opening of Thirty-third street wns presented at yester day afternoon s meeting oi tne cuy council as a general committee. Several persons have refused to take warrants for the property condemned to open tho street. Tho Bricklayers' union will be asked for an explanation of the protest It has filed against tho appointment of L. H. Parker as sewer Inspector. On July 0 a communica tion was sent to City Engineer Rosewater by tho union naming Parker as a suitable man for Inspector. After his appointment a protest was Hied. The council will take no action until the matter Is Investigated. Tho councilman agreed to Mr Trostlcr's ordinance which provides for the removal of twenty gas lights. Tho lights to be moved are neat electric lamps. They will be used In replacing gasoline lights. A Poor Slllllonnlre Lately starved in London because he could not digest his food.

Sold by Kuhn & Co., druggists. Lights and Thcro aro few stories of more pathetic human Interest than that which comes from Macon, Mo detailing the separation of D. S, Burch and wife, following nhe lattcr's confession that she loved another more than her husband. Mr. and Mrs, Burch wero married at Mll vtaukco two months ago. They have re sided in Macon six weeks and until the wlfo fell elck a week ago Mr. Burch sup posed his matrimonial craft was riding on tho safest of tides. She had been In the habit of getting her own mall till then. Whllo she was In bed the messenger In advertently placed a missive in tho hus band's hands that excited suspicion. Tho sick girl freely confessed the story of her wayward heart. She did not ask releaso from her marriage vows until her husband tendered It. Scorning any half-way lovo, Mr. Burch told his wlfo she was free, If sho wanted to go to her old lover. After long cou oldcratlon sho accepted tho sacrifice and her husband made nil arrangements for her to go to Chicago, where she said her relatives lived. Ho wont to tho depot, purchased her ticket and kissed her goodby like a real husband. Their short honeymoon was over and not a person at the station that night guessed the truth. Mr Burch has a responBlblo position with the Macou shear works and as an honor ablo and capable man stands with the best. Ho says he will forgive and try to forgot. Ho has no word of reproach against the man who has supplanted him In his wife's affections and refused to disclose his namo, Judge Erastus M. Reed, who for twenty four years has been Judge of tho First Bristol district court, Attleboro, Mass., Is of tho opinion that tho dignity of tbo court does not suffer In the least If a man appears In court In n shirtwaist on ijot days. To further Illustrate his Ideas about court dignity and comfort his honor held court last week without wearing a coat. Ono day during tho heated spell ho appeared In court coatleM, wearing a pink colored shirt and belt. When ques tioned regarding the action of Judgo Almy In having a coatless man who appeared In court removod from tho room the Judge said: "That's nonsense. Why should a man sit and suffer when he can bo cool' Any man who wants to sit In my court In his shirt sleeves or wear a shirtwaist can do so If he ran look neat and respectable. Tho cooler a man can be these days the more sense ha shows. Why should I make a man feel uncomfortable? I do not feel that thp dignity of the First District court has suffered In the least and so far as I am concerned I know one man who was comfortable, There Is such a thing as being too dignified." It was a hot day In Chicago. The man with the mackintosh on Us arm who was walking along oni of the principal streets, suddenly stepped up to THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: T V, ESP AY, AFFAIRS IN SOUTH OMAHA I Citj Ligal Department Maj Mako a Chiago ! la Its Tactict PLANNING FOR SPECIAL CLAIM AGENT Olllflnlt Think (lint Mnny of the I'er- onitl Injur' Cnxea Annlnat the City .Might He Settled Out of Court. It is understood that the legal depart ment of the city has made a change In Its tactics and will now proceed to settle certain damage claims. Within the last fiscal year Judgments have been rendered against tho city for $13,330 for damage claims Alone. At first It was the intention of tho mayor and city attorney to take all such cases to the supreme court, but as one Jury after another camo la with a verdict against the city It has appeared to the authorities that a change in the sys tem Is needed in order that unnecessary expense may not be laid upon thoso who pay taxes. The plan now being worked upon Is for a special agent of the city to wait upon persons who allege they are Injured and Inquire Immediately Into the facts. If the statements made are, upon Investigation, found to be true, tenders of a settlement will bo made. Tho cost of carrying so many suits to the supreme court will be enor mous nnd It Is with a view to saving money that this plan Is being considered. It is stated that railroads and other largo corporations generally endeavor to make n settlement In order to stave off a lawsuit and certain city ofllclals hold that tho scheme Is doubtless a good one and will De a money saver In the end. Quite a number of claims are now on fllo with the city clerk, almost all being for personal Injuries received through either defective sidewalks or streets. All of these recently filed claims will be settled It It Is possible to do so, but several of tho Judg ments already rendered against the city will be appealed to the supreme court as the briefs have already been prepared. Io Council Mcctlnir. Only Members Adklns. Martin and Miller answered roll call at the council meeting last night and an adjournment was taken for one week. Just as President Adklns an nounced tho vote on the question of ad journment Dvorak showed up, but the dlstanco flag had dropped. If Dvorak had, been present at roll call there would have been a quorum and the regular routine would have been gone through with. After tho adjournment the members pres ent hold an Informal meeting and dis cussed the need of more fire hydrants. The extremely dry weather has caused peti tions to come In from parts of tho city where there Is no water service and some cognizance will be taken of theso at the noxt regular meeting. It Is proposed to give tho eastern por tion of the city three hydrants, the ex treme southern part the same and other sections what Is needed. In fact, the chances aro that each of the six members of tho council will be requested to locate three hydrants each In their respective wards. This will necessitate an expense to tho taxpayers of not less than J1.080 a, year, but there Is a demand for Improvements of this kind on account of the rapid building up of the suburbs. Each hydrant costs the city 560 a year and the water company In sists that In laying mains hydrants be lo cated not more than 440 feet apart. Police Alnrnt System. Several members of the city council were engaged yesterday afternoon In looking Into the merits of a police alarm system as presented by a representative of an east ern alarm concern. That there Is need of patrol boxes all over tbo city Is evident, nnd although this question has been taken up several times within the last three years nothing has been done on account of lack of funds. These boxes, It Is stated, could be used for police nnd fire calls, and thus save the fire department from purchasing any more of the expensive nlarm boxes now In service. This matter Is to be thor oughly considered, nnd It the funds will warrant It a patrol box system, similar to that In use In Omaha, may be established. I'lrc Duiinrt'iieiit .Matters, Fred, ono of t'ao horses now In service Shades of a stranger whom he had been following for several minutes, relates the Tribune. "I beg pardon." he said, "but I have been deputed by Auy Old Time club, of which I am a charter member, to present you a medal." "You must be laboring under a mis take, sir," replied the stranger. "I don't know you." "I don't know you, either. But I recog nized you on sight as tho man to whom tho medal was unaulmously voted at our last meeting and to whom It properly bo longs." "You're Joshing." "Not at til. sir. This medal was placed In my hands to bo given to the man whom, after a weok of study. Investigation and comparison, I consider the meanest man In Chicago. I have found him. For the last five minutes you havo been walking In tho narrow strip of shade, twelve to fourteen Inches In width, on the left side of this walk and compelling everybody you met to turn out and give you the right of way. That breaks all records that have come under my notice and I have much pleasure In fulfilling my Instructions and placing you In possession of your prop erty." Before the stranger had recovered from his astonishment the man with tho mack intosh on his arm shoved a galvanized Iron disk Into his hands, made a profound bow and disappeared In the crowd. "It Is proposed." "say the Baltimore Sun In a midsummer editorial, "to abolish honeymoons for the reason that the aver ago man gets tired of the society of any one person In the tlrao usually allotted to honeymoons. Honey soon cloys on the masculine palate. In a symposium on tho subject In an English Journal tho defenders of tho Institution nro mostly women. The common argument la that In these practical times, growing yearly more dispassionate and less romantic, a man and woman sud denly doprlved of their ordinary occupations and surroundings and dependent for society entirely upon each other fall a ready prey to disillusionment and boredom. Ennui Is tho great risk. But It Is admitted that with a better program of rapid travel, the honey moon could be made endurable. It Is In rec ognition of this truth that somcono In vented the trip to Europe and a mad skurry over the continent of Europe, with side dashes into Africa and Asia, for the newir wed. "To mitigate tho alleged ordeal It Is pro posed to havo a traveling bridesmaid to ac company the party. A bridesmaid not too attractive should be selected, In order that she may retard rather than haston tho matrimonial crash, The discretion neces sary la her presence and the fear of In terruption will give honeymoon love-making the best of the earlier courtship and ward off boredom. To this, however, It Is objected that no pity it shown for the. bridesmaid. No greater affliction could a at Fire hall, No. 2. has about outlived his usefulness and needs a rest. This horse has been In the service for seven or eight years and Is becoming nlnd broken, so that he can run only a short distance. The horse now being driven by Chief Etter should also be replaced with a younger animal. Tho funds of the department hardly warrant the purchase of two additional horses at this time, but they are needed. An order for a Gamewell gong for the Brown Park Are hall was given yesterday laud when this Important portion of the equipment of the new fire hall Is Installed the balance of the furnishings will be hastened Into position. In order that the hall may be opened at the earliest possible moment. Ilrnrlna; WrdiicMlny. On Wednesday of this week Judse Lee Estelle will hear arguments on the re straining order Issued a few days ago at the suggestion of Charles Lefier, In the mat ter of making sewer connections In one of tho recently created districts. Tlumblng In spector Cook stopped Lefier from making a sewer connection and asserted that he would not sanction the Issuing of a permit until Lefier had singed a waiver of his right to protest against the assessment levied by the council for the construction of this particular sewer. On account of the trouble the city has had In collecting special taxes, the legal department of the city decided that In tho future cases the property owners would be asked to sign a waiver before a permit for connection would bo Issued. Mr. Lefier did not take kindly to this method of procedure and appraled to Judge Estelle, who granted a temporary writ, re straining tho plumbing Inspector from In terfering with his business, Janet fief Unity. Sanitary inspector Jones Is engaged these days In serving notices to clean up. He "ill, ho says, Insist that the alleys, especially those In the thickly settled portions of the city, be cleaned at once. There has been somo trouble. It appears, about securing wagons to haul garbage. Now that a roid to the river Is opened the haulers of garbage will not be compelled to drive through private property and pay toll. Somo of tho alleys within a block north and south of N street aro In a very bad sanitary condition. Inspector Jones Is looking after Just such cases and he states that unless there Is a general cleaning up within tho next few days, some arrests for violations of the sanitary ordinance will follow. .Mimic.

It would bo an Im provement to have also a traveling best man, or usher, to keep tho bridesmaid In countenance. The trouble, after all, It U held, Is that 'nine Individuals out of ten do not marry the right person. Hence there Is no sense In making the mtstako worse by showing It up Immediately In all Its dreariness.' To shorten honeymoons, another person suggests, would bo useful. 'A short honeymoon la a dellcato experi ment. A long ono Is a veritable flying In tbo face of Providence.

' When a Llnwood avenue man waters his own lawn, relates the Kansas City Journal, he does It from choice and enjoys the work as a pastime. The one referred to was having a particularly good time taking aim at tho tall grass tops, training tho stream on them and knocking them eft. His wlfo came by way of the side of the houso to visit him and cheer him on In tho good work. Just as she made the turn by the steps the hose burst through a spot that had been weakened by dragging over tho ground and tho gushing water first blinded her for tho time, while It proceeded to take tho curl out of her crimps. It Is unnecessary to prove that sho let out a terrific scream for her husband turned suddenly to eco what had hap pened. In doing so he whirled the nozzle with his body and this time the water went all over her with Impartiality. There were two streams In rapid succession.

That window went down with a slam that sounded like the explosion of a giant firecracker and shook the block.

Even a stoical philosopher will make some sign when banged unexpectedly In the ear with; a streak of cold water moving at the rate of sixty miles an hour. He Jumped within a few Inches of the celling, gave a very fine Imitation of a war whoop and then tried to Jam that window through the founda tion, He has been told forty times Just how the accident occurred, how unintentional It woa and how sorry the perpetrator of the cold douso Is. but the girl's eyes twin kle with suppressed mirth whenever they meet and as long as thle is the case he Is figuring to get good and even with the man that practiced on him. JULY 30, 1901. SO RICK ON THIS WEATHER Omaha Asiamet Summer RtJoit Airiness and is Comparttmly Comfortable. LOWER TEMPERATURE 13 PREDICTED Olllclnl ForrcnMrr SnK"t Possibil ity tlmt the i:nil of the Torrid fenson Ik In .MkIM Mntlatlcn m to Hxtrnt of llnlii. Omaha Is a summer resort now, com pared with what It was two or three days SCO. Thero has been rain enough to warrant the belief that the drouth li broken. With the rain came a decided fall In temperature. Improvement In the brand of weather has caused general cheerfulness. Everybody feels better, looks better, acts better. True, It Is not so cool yet as It might bo and thero Is no official guaranty that tho backbone of the hot spell has been permanently broken, yet tho weather man seems to have a tacit understanding to that effect. Speaking of backbones, It Is well to re member that the backbone of a hot sum mer Is harder to kill than a Missouri mule or a hyena from the had lands. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the day opened with a temperature of 72 degrees. At 3 o'clock It had crawled up to S7, nice and airy compared with the hundreds and over of a few days ago. I'lKnren on It rs t it fit 1 1. The United States reports from the Omaha corn and wheat stations show that there has been an average rainfall of 1.8 Inches since Saturday morning at the four teen stations reporting, and that the rain has been general, although varied In vol ume. Of the stations In tho district re porting Ashland has had the most rain, 2.93 inches falling there Saturday. Omaha was the sceno of the heaviest rainfall last night, 43 of an Inch having been recorded here. The tendency of the weather is shown by a comparison of the reports from the corn and wheat stations Sunday and Monday. On the former day a temperature of 103 was recorded for Falrbury, that being the totn peraturo Saturday. The report yesterday morning shows a temperature at that place Sunday of 101, and this was the only station Sunday showing a maximum temperature of over 100 degrees. Outside of Phoenix, Ariz,, It was the only station shown on the chart at Omaha which had a temperature abovo 100, the nations reporting tho high temperatures last week showing SO to 9S degrees. That the changed conditions may be con sidered almost general Is shown from the fact that out of fourteen stations In tho Omaha corn and wheat belt reporting Sun day twelve showed cloudy or partly cloudy sky, while on the reports yesterday morning seven of tbo fourteen showed clear sky and all showed a lower degree of temperature. To crown It all, the weather forecaster says that we may expect yet cooler weather today. The area of low barometer has finally moved from Montana and Is now over tho lakes., This has brought higher temperatures to the east, Philadelphia yes terday morning showing a temperature of 84 degrees at 7 o'clock, with generally higher morning temperatures over tho south and east. The high barometer, which has finally succeeded In crossing the Cascade moun tains, has brought with It generally fair weather, but remarkably cooler, while the rains which have been falling In the north west have gone to the south. Rain fell at Kansas City yesterday morning and In the lust twenty-four hours 02-100 of an Inch had already fallen.
