tn Control Contention,
If tho Qcrman-Amcrlcan Democratic club
ot South Omaha in (ikes good Its promlae
at tho democratic primaries today, the
Douglas county domocracy, with tho as
latance ot the packing town organization,
will take chnrgo of the machinery of tho
party on and after next Saturday, and Kd
Howell, who has fondly embraced the tltlo
of czar for some time, will become what
In bao bftll parlance Is known as a. "has
been."
Unless tho combination that has hern
arranged between tho Douglas county and
tho Oerraan-Amorlcan organizations Is
broken, there will bo -a new county com
mltteo named at the democratic conven
tion on Saturday, although tho call docs
not provldo specifically for such action.
Tho call says tho convention Is "to select
two committeemen for each of tho now
wards of South Omaha, to nil any vacancies
that may exist on the South Omaha com
mltteo from tho two now country precincts
and for tho transaction of such other altd
furthor business as may properly come bo
fore, tho convention," It Is under the head
of "other and further business" that tho
naming of an cntlro new county committee
may be called for.
1 1 y making shrewd compromises In a
number of tho Omaha wards and by put
ting up a contest In the Klghth, tho Douglas
county democracy expects to give tho Jack
sonlans a lesson in politics that they will
not soon forgot'. Ily the compromises the
Douglas countyltrs haVo managed to get
twenty-eight of their men on uncontested
delegations, and If they win In tho Klghth
thoy will have eleven more, making their
representation from the city wards thirty
nine. Then'ln order to take control ot tho
convention .thoy will havo, to sccuro hut
fifty-eight of tho ninety-four delegates from
tho county nud South Omaha.
If tho Oorman-Amorlcan club makes good
Its boast of ability to carry South Omaha
and tho country precincts glvo only ono
half of their delegates to tho Douglas
countyltcs, tho latter will easily mako up
n majority In the convention. Tho Teu
tonic organization In the city to tho south
has put up a delegation In every ward,
which Is pledged to opposo fusion and to
support Dick O'Kcefo for county commis
sioner. Tho club nlono claims to bo ablo
to rally 600 voters to tho support of Its
ticket todny, nnd this strength, together
with tho personal following of Dick O'Kcefo
nn'i tho Individual members of the dele
gations, portends victory for tho ticket.
Tho Douglas countyltes have been work
ing quietly and effectively In tho country
proclncts for somo months, and thoy ex
pect to have tho country delegates almost
Holldlv so thtilr majority In the convention
will not be impaired by tho loss of a part
or nil ot South Omaha.
MAY BE ANOTHER BEAUMONT
Kzpert GeoloRlat Itellrves He linn
Discovered SIriis nf Oil on
Clinton nrluKs' Knrni. ,
A 'geologist, for1 mnny years oraployed-or
tho Standard Oil company as on expert,
thinks ho has detested tho presonco of oil
In paying quantities on the farm of Clinton
II. Ilrlggs', seven miles west of tho city on
'thn Dodgo street road. Kor tho last threo
weeks ho has been prospecting up nnd
down the raplo nnd has found indications
which In his opinion promise an abundant
yield. The "symptoms" extend through ono
corner of t'hb flrlggs farm nnd Into tho land
of two abutting property ownem.
Ono of those has thl3 to say of tho pro
ect: "For 'my part I don't know whothcr
there Is oil tn my land or not, but this ex
port says there Is, so I nm willing to mnke
any reasonable concession to havo tho re
source developed. He wants ma to sign a
thirty-year lease, granting his backors full
control 'of tho oll-bearlng portion of my
place during that tlmo, nnd I understand
ho has mado a similar proposition to my
neighbors. I now havo tho matter under
consideration.
"He soems to want to keep secret the
Identity of his .backers until tho papers
aro drawn up. I nm satisfied, however,
that his backers aro men ot means, nnd he
has shown mc letters nnd other evidences
that there la ample capital behind him.
There Is nlso nbundnnt testimony as to his
skill as a geologist so far as geology Is
useful In locating nnd developing oil fields.
Ho assures mc thnt tf I will closo the deal
with htm men and machinery for sinking
tho first shaft will bo on the grounds In
side of thirty days.
"Tho report that the wolls sunk out In
this neighborhood several years ngo by
Herman Kountze. Dr. Ocorgo L. Miller and
others were for oil Is a mistake, as water
or coal wero tho objcctlvo points with
them. Neither Is It true that theso wells
aro near the spot where tho present pro
jector proposes to sink his shaft, so the
fact that these previous borings did not
rleld oil does not In any way prejudice this
low enterprise.
"For several years I hava'been satisfied
that there was nt least 'a traco of oil In
6000

If we live In deeds,
LAyer's Cherry Pectoral must be 6000 years old!
For sixty years it has been curing all kinds
of throat and lung troubles from a slight
tickling in the throat to the most desperate
diseases of the lungs.
This is the way your doctor orders it:
f. On, bottle of Aycr's Cherry Pectoral.
Sia. Carefully follou directions on bottle.
Ask him how many patients he has cured
with this prescription.
" I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral extensively in mv nracti,,. t j

to me to treat the matter seriously. I have
noticed that when water for the cattlo Is
pumped Into the tank and permitted to

sheen rises to the surface."
LIKELY TO BREAK THE ANVIL
Some Itntnmcr Are In .crl of n
l.njfr or Tito of
Velvet.
"Tho Ileal Kstate exchange Is tired of
'knockers,' " said President Green In clos
ing tho session of that body today. "In the
spsechca delivered before the club and In
many of tho remarks of the members we
hnvc had too much of the pessimistic spirit,
and 1 servo notice right now that when any
body Is Invited to address this club ho will
be expected to tell us what In his opinion
we should do to mako tho town better
rather than to give us his Idea of the evils
thnt exist. Omaha Is doing very well, and
wo havo no tlmo to listen to disgruntled
persons. Wo can make tho town bettor In
every way and wo expect to do it, but wo
nro going to quit holding meetings to dis
cuss our woes, real nnd Imaginary. If peo
ple cannot look on the bright sldo of things
th,ny at lenst can keep their mouths shut
nnd let the people who hco bright things
ahead do tho talking."
Tnxes Are Dlsrtinncil.
The meeting nf the Ileal Kstate exchange
dovoted much of the time to the subject
of taxation. Tho first speaker was W. I,.
Selby, who declared that there should be
n general reduction in tho taxes upon real
estate. Later In the course of tho meet
ing ho snlil that he though tho reduction In
the taxes on renl ostatn could Iiq mnde
without Increasing tho rnte by Increasing
tho valuation on personal property to a
slight extent. In this connection V.r H.
Gates said that In tooklng tip his personal
tax receipts he found thnt tho taxes he
paid on his household property would not
bo onough to buy tho books of his children
In school if tho free book system was
abolished and therefore he felt thnt ho could
pay moro personal taxes without suffering
Injustice, while ho believed tho taxes on
real estnto wero too high. "At tho same
time," said ho, "you must not expect to
pay less taxes for somo tlmo as there Is so
much money to bo paid out nnd that much
must be taken In.
In discussing tho matter A. P. Tukov
said in effect: "Omaha pays no moro
tnxes than the nverago city of lta size. I
sco no prospect for lower tnxes In tho next
ten years at least. The amount of tho
taxes raised docs not depend upon tho city
council, but upon tho necessities of tho
town. Nino-tenths of tho taxes raised to
dny aro expended In fixed charges which
havo been mado In times past. Wo nre
in tho fix now and must get out tho best
way wo con. Our only relief Is In equaliza
tion of tho existing assessment. It Is gen
erally understood that personal proporty
Is tnxed at 33 1-3 per cent of its renl
value, although I doubt If this Is so In tho
caso of largo holders of personal property,
but tho tax commissioner nnd all others
admit that real estate Is tnxed nt 50 per
cent of Its nctunl valuo nt least. Tho tax
commissioner, I understand, Is working In
tho direction of bringing theso bases closer
together nnd wo may get some relief.
Thero Is ono thing sure. I don't wnnt to
hear any moro speeches tolling us that
our taxes nro too high. It Is not right
to condemn the council for voting for a
certain number of mills levy, for It Is
their Bworn duty to rnlse sufficient monev
to pay tho expenses of maintaining tho city
government and paying the fixed chnrges."
John S. Knox said that slnco he began to
study tho question of taxation he found
that it Is many sided. "I favor." said he.
"tho plan of assessing property at lta
actual valuo and making n low levy. Then
If a man Is assessed too high ho enn 'cAtrio
In and provo It. Now he can only argue
on comparative basis nnd If his neighbor
Is not too low he can get no relief."
HiiBRPHt n Compromise.
C. F. Hnrrlson cnlled attention to a phase
of tho question which ho thought had not
received sufficient attention. "There aro,
said he, "In mnny of tho outlying additions
lnrge rnrcels of ground and lots which havo
been nssesscd for more than they aro worth.
Tho owners rcfuso to pay tho taxes nnd tho
city cannot enforco collection because tho
propcrt would not pay the cost of tho no
tion, ThTc should be somo wny devised
whereby these tnxes could bo compromised
nn an equitable basis and tho property then
assessed nt n fair valuntion and begin to
produce revenue to tho city. Glvo tho own
ers n new start nnd there will be much moro
money collected from this source."
K. A. Densnn nlso spoko on this phase of
tho subject, mentioning one piece of ground
which was sold for $1,400 nnd assessed at
$3,000, tho nssessor claiming thnt tho pur
chase price had nothing to do In making tho
assessed valuation.
At tho closo of tho discussion a committee
consisting of W. L. Selby, John S. Knox nnd
A. P. Tukey was appointed tn confer with
the tax commissioner on tho subject and to
roport at tholr convenience.
Tho subject of "Manufactures" was as
signed for tho next meeting, tho principal
talk to be made by H. T. Clarke.
A uow rulo was adopted whereby the sub
ject for each meeting Is to be aiuiounced at
tho preceding ono and the speakers held
strictly to tho discussion of the subject In
band. "

Itet Prnetlce K.tnbll.hnl.
For the first time since Camp Omaha was
rormcd the two regiments of Infantry were
brought out on dress parade yesterday
afternoon nt 6 o'clock. Twenty-three com
panies reported for the duty, tho new com
pany from Tekamah not being equipped for
thn parade, being without guns. Adjutant
General Colby said that by this evening the

would probably havo the tents which wero
shipped from North Platte, where old Com
pany E of tho Second regiment was dls
banded a few days ago, Just beforo tho
Tekamah company mustered Into tho serv
ice.
On the first dress parade tho troops made
a good showing, the companies being par
Ocularly well drilled In company move
ments, All officers wero present, General
Colby being mounted. Thore was one bad
feature nnd this will probably be changed
today. The dress parade Is too late In the
day for this season. Hcforo the evolutions
wero finished It became so dark that of
ficers at the regulation distance could not
seo the movements of the troops In tho
manual of arms. General Harry announced
that ho would change tho program to bring
tho flrst call for dress pnrado so tfint tho
assembly would sound nt 5:30 o clock prob
nbly and certnlnly not Inter than f? o'clock

forces of Nebrnska. Tho review will tako
place Immediately after dress parade.
Most of tho reports Irom tho company
commnndcrs have been received at brlgndo
headquarters. They show that, thero arc
now on tho grounds, Including staff of
fleers, about 1,400 men. This number may
bo slightly Increased, next week, as several

A hctpltal corps was formed yesterday
by an order directing four men from each

this mess. Line officers generally mess
with their companies, but somo of the com
pany commanders and their lieutenants
have formed private messes whero viands
more suited to their tastes than tho com
mlssnry stores nro served. Second Lieu

Walter Whitlow, colored, 20 years of
age, rooming In a house at Thirteenth and
Davenport streets, made an unsuccessful
attempt to commit suicide at 7:30 o'clock
last night.
Whitlow went to a drug store In tho
neighborhood nnd bought a half pint of tur
pentine nnd n half pint of witchhazel.
Going out of tho store he drank the con
tents of both bottles. Officer Baldwin was
Informed of what Whitlow had done and
immediately gathered him up and took htm
to the station, whero Police Surgeon
Francis L. Horglum did the rest.
After getting over the effects of the con
coction Whitlow said he lived near Florence
with his parents nnd for tho past few
months had been unable to obtain work.
Yesterday morning his father sent him out
to hustle for himself "and not to bring
my clothes there no more. That dono
broke my heart," continued Whitlow, "nnd
I wanted to die.' Ho was locked up In
the city Jail to think It over.

CLAIMS WOMAN SHOT HIM
Juinra rnllnhnn'a F.irnae for Dlaplnv-
lnr a Cnsli In Ills Hend to
the Police,
A telephone message from Fifteenth and
Capitol avenue, stntlng that someone had
teen shot, was tho reason why a patrol
wagon full of officers was sent to the scene
about 12 o'clock last night. Upon their ar
rival tho officers found James Callahan, 1011
North Seventeenth street, suffering from a
severe gnsh In, tho top of bis hend.
Callahan told the officers he was sitting
In a saloon near Fifteenth and Capitol ave
nue, when some woman fame In and with
out a word walked up, shot him, and then
made her escape. "I was so surprised and
startled," said Callahan, "that I can give
no description of tho woman, nor could I
Identify her, If she wns nrrestcd."
Callahnn was taken to the station nnd Dr.
Francis L. Horglum sewed up his wound.
The doctor said tho wound was apparently
caused by n stick or somo blunt Instru
ment. Officers Investigated and found thore had
been no shooting In the neighborhood, nro
that Callahan and somo woman had been
quarreling near a lunch wagon at Fifteenth
street and Capitol avenue, and It Is sup
posed thnt tho woman struck him.
Tho police were told later that the wound
was Inflicted by n club In tho hands of

Mrs. Dane Margaret Aimltn
Lady Hnstney Kthel llorrlck

Janet Colquhoun, nleoo to Lady Hnst-
ney Mnrgnrct Dale
The whole of tho notion takes plnco nt
Hunnlngwntor, ubout twenty-live miles from
London, In the present day.
In "Mrs, Dane's Defence" why didn't
ho call It "prosecution?" Mr. Henry Ar
thur Jones has nppronched the social prob
lem from nnother of Its mnny sides. Ho
hns tnken most of the Ingredients of tho
"problem" piny and nddo'd only the char
acter of Mrs. nulsom-Portor, who Is gen
erlcally typical of Mrs. Grundy. His other
characters are tho same the woman who
has stepped nside nnd who learns to her
cost that never In this world will thnt sten
be forgotten; the sympathetic womnn, who
is willing to condone her sister's mlstnke:
the men who will "llo Ilka gentlemen" to
savo a woman, tho stepfnther. tn whom
truth Is more than tho happiness of him
self, his son or tho womnn who loves his
son nnd In whom he ran And no other
fault thnn that sho sought to screen her
self from tho result of folly In which she
had been but n passive participant. These
with persons neeessnry to mako up tho
ensemble. Mr. Jones Is rather conven
tlonal In his denouncement. He slams
the door In Mrs. Dane's fnco nnil lenves
her outside the temple of earthly happl
ncss, compelled to do pennnnco for her
misfortune while life shnll last.
Briefly, the talc: Felicia Ilclmrncch, n
girl, Is dncolvod. Her lover proves to be
a married man, whoso wife, learning of
his Unison, commits suicide. He noes
crnzy and Fcllctn Is given n homo with her
cousin, Lucy Allen Dane. Her child Is
born, her cousin dies and sho seeks to hldo
her shamo behind her cousin's name. As
Mrs. Dane she Is wooed by Lionel Cnrterct,
tho ndopted son of Sir Dnnlol Carteret, an
English Judge. A nephew of Mrs, Rulsom
Porter recognizes Felicia and tolls his
aunt. Sho starts tho scandalous story. All
side with Mrs. Dane nnd even tho detectlvo
whom Mrs. Rulsom-Porter has employed
lies to shield the quondam Mrs. Dane. In
seeking tho details of her life that he may
thoroughly cstnbllsh her Identity ns Mrs.
Lucy Allen Dane Sir Danlol questions her
and sho makes a mlstnke In her nnswer.
'He divines the truth. Shoiconfessen. Mrs.
nulsom-Portcr triumphs anjl,' Felicia pays
tnc penalty.
All tho sympathy of tho play lies with
Mrs. Dane. She wns nbout to win bnck tho
pnradlso sho had lost whon the represcntn
tlvc of moral .purity In tho unlovable per
sonago of Mrs. nulsom-Portcr sots to work
to thruct her back to tho depths and suc
ceeds. Tho mornl Is too obvious to requlro
pointing out. Tho nrgument Is for tho In
dividual; the conclusion, the Incvltnble one,
that tho "problem" piny merely presents
the problem nnd not the solution.
It is charmingly worded, this piny of
Mr. Jones. Like nil his works, It Is tnlky,
but tho talk Is divided up very evenly
nmong tho speaking parts and the conver
sation In the lighter moods spnrkles with
wit, ngrcenbly refreshing. No mornl lec
tures nro delivered by nny of the speakers,
but thero aro certain moral facts driven
home hard.
Tho company to which the ploco has been
entrusted Is qulto up to tho Empire stnnd-
arl. Omaha, or Indeed, nny city, rarely
hears moro competent ladles nnd gentle
men than those who gnve this piny last
night. Some of them wero not well known
here, but on the bill nre tho nnmes of sev
eral who havo como to us season after sea
son, until wo feel on fairly easy terms with
them. Their reception at tho Royd last
night was such as should havo mndo even
people used to New York triumphs feel
a bit of prldo In their work.
Mr. Charles Itlchmnn Is one of tho cast
with whom Omaha people will hope to be
come better ncqualnted. Ills handsome
presence, mngnlflcent voice and Intelligent
acting mark him as one of tho best leading
men on tho stago today. It Is doubtful If
his prcsentntion of the difficult chnractcr
of tho truth-worshiping Justlco could bo
Improved.
To Miss Margaret Anglln falls tho renlly
hard work of tho evening. In Mrs. Dnno
she has n very trying role. It Is not that
tho sympathy of the nudlence naturally
goes out to her. On tho contrary, sho must
so present her story that tho audience will
take her side In spite of her double turn-
first In being deceived nnd second In deceiv
ing. Miss Anglln has a tine conception of
whnt Is required of her, nnd with remark
able talent for expression nnd a complete
coramnnd of herself at nil times, sho gives
a life to the chnractcr that Is so real as to
be almost painful In Its Intensity.
Miss May Drooko takes the thankless
part of Mrs. Bulfcom-Porter with raro np-
preclatlon and easily deserves all tho credit
a discerning nudlenco can bestow upon her.
Mr. Compton Is so well known In Omnha
that it Is unnecessary to say moro than
that tho rich bouquet of his humor In
creases with age. As for tho others In tho
cast, thoy may be grouped nnd commended
In tho one word, "Excellent,"
"Mrs. Dane's Defcnco" will bo given
again tonight.

COMPLY WITH THE NEW CHARTER
Snrpy County HnUes n Cry AunliiM
Jlnd Creek Sewer School t.enunp
Will Hold .Meet I iik Tonluht
-em In (lenrrnl.
An adjourned meeting ot the city council
was held yesterday afternoon and tho city
clerk wns Instructed to advertise the pe
tition for tbo grading of E street from
Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street. It
was tho Intention of the council to pass an
ordinance at this meeting, but City At
torney Lnmbort sahl that such action was
not necessary. One of the provisions of tho
new charter Is that petitions of this kind
must ho published live times and then
twenty days must elapso before the council
can tako decisive action, Tho petition will
thercforo bo prepared and printed nnd tho
ordinance providing for tho work will bo
brought up nt tho next meeting.
As this Is tho first petition for public Im
provements presented since tho new chnrlcr
went Into effect City Attorney Lambert is
naturally very particular about It. All sig
natures to Improvement petitions must bo
signed In Ink and In tho presence of a no
tnry public. One of tho signatures on tho
petition In question was In pencil nnd Mr.
Lambert refused to glvo the document his
approval until a chnugn hnd been mnde.
Tho administration proposes to go slowly on
Improvement matters and havo nil docu
ments tn such condition that there can be
no question raised ns to tho legality of
tho special taxes assessed. With tho start
ing of tho grading of E street property
owners on other streets between Twcntv
thlrd nnd Twenty-fourth streets nre bo-
' coming Interested, but It will take a seo
arato petition nnil ordinance In each caso.
There seems to bo n desire to havo sev
eral streets opened to Twenty-third street
beforo winter sets in.
In connection with the Improvement of
