NUMEROUS SPEECHES ARE DELIVERED Work or Ilollillnc th- Projected Iln irriirlur i I)iruo-d In All ll Vn rloim I'hntiCK nnd thr Ontlook Ik Dcrlnrrd nneournclnu. A majority of thp members of tho old and nr.w boards of directors of the Audi torium company and a number of the ad vlsory board of the company were present last night at tho dinner plvrn In honor of the flrnt election of the Auditorium com pany. The dinner was to have been upread at G:30 o'clock, but it was nearly an hour later when the doors were thrown open to the dlnem. When the elpsrs were served President Sanborn, addressing the members of the old nnd new boards of directors, reforred to the need of Omaha for an auditorium, which v.-ns particularly evident during the Trans mlsslppl exposition. Ho recited the his tory of the company from the close of the band concerts In lMiu. "A year ago to night." said he, "the newly organized com mittee started to Kansas City to Investi gate the question of auditoriums, so that all that has been accomplished has been done In ono year. In this time about seven months' actual work has been done. Klve months were lost during the holidays and the summer months. The subscriptions raised represent more thnn $20,000 per month. A site centrally located has been purchased at a total cost of about JK.OOO and there Is over J100.000 of good assets on hand with which to begin the construction of the building. The work of the board has been done without frills. Tho expenses havo been kept down to J126 per month. Thank Oinnlin (.'11i-ii. "'On behalf of the board I want to thank the citizens of Omabit for the loral support given at all tiroes. The advisory board I desire to thank for moral and llnanclal support and I also desire to thank tho press of the city for Its assist ance. The personnel of the new board means much. All of the persons hure know the auditorium Is to be built; 1'5 per cent of tho people of Omaha do not Know It, therefore wo should lay the foundations nnd begin to lay brick and mortar as soon as possible. We should have the building near enough completion so that the Knights of Al;-Sar-ncn can use their por tion for Initiations next 31ay." Secretary Uoobler read regrets from F. A. Nash. Oerrge A. Joslyn, Clem Chose, 3. H. Millard, J. F. Carpenter and a num ber of others. He then presented his an nual report as previously published. Alfred Mlllord. treasurer, reported the ncruracy of ..the secretary's report as to the ensh on hnnd. Charles a.

Tho j title of tho site of the proposed Auditorium U perfect. The abstracts have been car- fully examined and show that the title Is good. The houses on the land were sold at a good price, but out of this sale tame n suit against the purrhaser, but the mat ter hae. been amicably settled. All the legal affairs of the board are now settled up to date. " The promotion committee through E. E. Andrews reported upon tho Industrial ex position, showing an expense of about $.",700, with net returns of over J4.000. Fred raffenrath, from the miscellaneous revenue committee, reported that its total donation to the company has been approxi mately J10.000. at nn expense of H.MR.Gl. Tntma.tT TnUrs rhri;r. ThlB closed the reports from tho old board and the president Introduced Euclid Martin, the toastmaster. In tnklng charge of the meeting Mr. Martin made u brief talk in which he said that ho supposed the meeting was for business and that Omaha is now in a critical condition. "We are. now pructtcally at the turning point. The cities of tho eust aro growing rapidly. Omaha ls better situated and we may eon fldentally expect good growth. If I under stand the matter rightly the cities of the east are growing on account of their manu facturing enterprises. Omaha is suffering from some things. The Inflation of the census in 1800 hurt us. but we huve out grown this. It In said our municipal gov ernment Is expensive. Majbe It ls. but other cities also have expensive govern ments. We aro In debt, bo nrc other cities. What .we niied is unity of purpose nnd we nrc getting that." "He then Introduced F. W. Kellogg of Kansas City, who spoke on the subject of "The Old Board and What It Hon Done." Judge W. D, Mr.Hugh was to have spoken on the subject of "The Xew Board and What It Has to Do." He was out of the city and the toast was responded to by C. S. Pourse, a member of the new hoard. He said in part- "It appears to me that the first thing the new board has to do ls to facs the situation. To take an account of stock, see what the old board has done. It has taken out of the town whatever came easy. It had to block out the work and it is but right It should get the easy money, but wp must remember that we will have harder work to get money. It has washed the sand, but there are still good nuggeti to 1m got out of frosty spots. It ls Make him take it. His night cough has kept you awake long enough. He wouldn't be so stubborn about it if he knew how quickly Ayer's Cherry Pectoral would cure a cough, even the coughs of bronchitis, croup, asthma, and la grippe. When he's cured he will thank you- for insisting upon having your own way. Your own doctor will uphold you in this. TryTiim and see. 44 Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured my daughter of a very bad cough after we had tried about everything else without relief," E. B. Davis, Trovidence, R. L iic, Mc, tl K. n .- iuj -n 'haw out this frnsj atrl ge -o th X'T dirt "What we need IB Omaha is a few fools What I mean tty this Is thst we want men who will not tawi upon the average basis who do not look at things from the srerage point of view. We roust have the faith of the fool that nothing Is Impossi ble and nothing will be impossible " "Help the Town and Help Yourself" was the toast to which Rev. K. F Trefz responded. Mr. Trefc said In part: "I have come to the concltielfln that the old Auditorium hoard Is the best board that evr backed up an auditorium scheme and that the new board Is also the best that has ever backed an auditorium srheme In other words. I believe that the old board and the new board are one and that the men who have retired from the board are as much In line for the success of the enterprise as they have ever been. The acme of selfishness Is shown by the man who enters a city and aftor making a for tune refuses to do anything for the com munity. In multiplying the powers of the city the rosldent multiplies his own power. Ilriilnn Are Alitllidnlll "Tor the slie of the town and ftie num ber of people It contains I believe that no town on earth has the amount of brains that Omaha has The Omuha Auditorium will be one of the greatest things for the education of the people. It will bring to them a knowledge and appreciation of the beauties of art and the ndtancc of selenre. "After two years of residence In Omaha 1 have come to the conclusion that Omaha sentiment Is united to advance the Inter erts of the city." This concluded the set program. Brief talks were then made by C. C. Ileldcn who eulogized the old board and prophe sied good work for th new; E. E. Bruce, who offered udvlec to the new board, say ing that the board should arrange to col- leet at least $10(1.000 in addition to what has been subscribed, that every home owner should be on the subscription fist. W. A DeBord and John Latensor. who spoke of the practical work of the construction. In Introducing Johit Latenser Mr. Martin said that the arrhttect of the Auditorium had proved himself one of the most success ful builders In the country. Mr. Ls tenser told of the examination of the ground at the site. He said that he- found the site had been filled nine feet ut the alley on Fifteenth stiect and but two feet nt tho alley on Fourteenth street, that the foun datlon at Its lowcht depth would be four teen feet lower than the floor level, that water wos struck from fourteen to twenty feet below the surface on the line of the alley.

"I have Just got back from Denvrr." said an Omaha business man Tuesday even ing. "Their festival of Mountain and Plain drew out some tremendous crowds, enough to warrant the hotels in boosting their prices as high as Pike's peak and then some. I paid $3 a day for a room to sleep In. and It wasn't much of a room at that. Cots commanded ti. and other things In proportion. 1 went Into the hotel at which I stopped after walking the streets for sev eral hours In a vain attempt to secure ac commodations at one of the big houses. It was one of the third or fourth-rate pUres. The landlady welcomd me graciously enough, and said she had three rooms left. 1 looked ot them nil. Xo bath, no nothing, but Just a place to sleep. 'How much for the three days?' I asked. 'Xlne dollars.' she answered without a stutter. 'I've got more money than that." says 1, nnd I handed her a flO bill. 'Give me n dollar and 1 take the room.' "That Isn't whnt I want to talk to you about, though. So-ne of the things I saw out there made me think b little. Ono thing ls the fact that Denver has com pletely captured tbf Black Hills from Omaha, nnd did it Just as easy. Hero's the situation: When the Deadwood people gave their quadro-centennlal celebration last Fourth of July a general Invitation .was sent to Omaho and Denver people to come up. Well. Just ubout six people wnt up from Omaha, and a couple of hundred went from Denver. When the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben carnival was held here this fall there was nobody here from the Black Hills, but out at Denver there were over 1,000 of tho leading men from the, Dakota mountains, and lhey were made the center of a decidedly warm time. "What's the result Why, everything that Denver ran soil to the Black Hills mer chant will be that much trade taken awny from Omaha and Denver will sell them plenty I''s another piece of thoughtless ness on the part of somebody, but It has cost Omaha the business of h large terri tory Denver'B Chamber of Commerce made the fight, and seems to have won, while Omnha s Commercial rlub allowed the ColoradoanB to do as they pleased."

CHIEF MITCHELL CALLS MILLER TO ACCOUNT Irrenftrr Some ConntrrslKUlns Will He A re r bit n All Orders for Mo iilcliml Printing Mncle City ."Sews lu Grnrrnl. The war of words In the council Monday night was one of the principal subjects of conversation on the streets yesterday. It will be remembered that In his talk Coun cilman Miller asserted that he had been tricked Into buying two new Jail records by Chief Mitchell. When Miller called at the city Jail yesterday Chief Mitchell called the councilman to account. Miller asserted that he was excited during his little affair with Johnston that he did not remember what he said. Investigation shows that Miller dropped Into the Jail one day and noticed a record on one of the tables. It was an old record brought out of the vault by ome of the officers who had been look Ing up the history of a crook. Without asking any questions, Miller looked through the book and noticed that It was filled, with the exception of half a dozen pages. Ho immediately set out and ordered the records which were the bone of contention Monday night, Mitchell said that he had nothing whatever to do with the matter and In this Miller bears him out. Martin and Adklne, the other members of the print ing committee, stated yesterday that they knew nothing of the work Miller was or dering. Both, however, stated that they had asked Miller time and again to adver tise for bids when there was any printing of Importance to be done, but Miller has objected to this and has gone ahead with out consulting with the other members of the committee. Hereafter In order to have printers accept orders It will be necessary for two members of the printing committee to sign orders for stationer-. Club It rorptloii Pricing. Arrangements are about completed for the annual reception at the South Omaha club on Friday night.

"President Bulla must have been in humorous mood," said u member of the Taxpayers league yesterday "when he re ferred the request of the league regarding the resignation of Schroeder to the Judl clary committee. Schroeder ls chairman of the Judiciary committee, the other members being Kubat and Murphy. Well, really It will not make any difference what the re port of the committee ls because plans are now completed for the presentation of Mr Sthroeder's case to the grand Jury, which meets In Omaha on November C, As for the checking up the books of the board It Is thought that arrangements can lie made with the members to turn the records over to an expert selected by the leaRU". We do not expect any trouble about this matter, although the board has authorized the employment of an expert. Perhaps wo ctn agree upon the man who ls to do 'he work." fmrolt!r of Help. Nearly everyone in South Omaha appears to be employed these days. Yesterday a well known business man hunted the town over for four men to unload cars of coil, but could not find a man who wus not en gaged. Very few men are seen looting on the streets these days ns everyone who wants work can find It. There is- con siderable building Just now and carpenters and painters are unusually busy. Laborers sre hard to find as the packing houses are working nearly full time. Inventor SreUn n Maiden "Inventor" Brltts called at The Bee office yesterday for the purpose of advertising the fact that he Is looking for a maiden with 11.000 in cash. He wants to marrv a woman with money in order that he maj be supplied with funds for perfecting hl perpetual motion machine. Brltts proposes to harness the cyclone and thus furnish power to all the world without the UBe of coal. More than this the Inventor promises to give J1.000 one year hence to the person who will secure him a wife who has 11.000 to Invest in his schemes. He did not, how ever, have the price of the advertisement and as he left no address, maidens with money to burn will have to address Mr, Brltts at the general delivery. Cuilnhr Improvement Completed.

The meeting of the executive committee of the Omaha Commercial club yesterday afternoon was of more than ordinary In terest, as steps were taken which may re sult In a reorganization of the club. The matter w-as sprung by Rome Miller, the hotel and restaurant man. who stated that he had waited for a long time for i-omeone else to bring the matter to the attention of the committee, but was now re solved to do It himself He then decried the operation of the restaurant in eonnei tlon with the club, saying that the prac tice of serving meals to persons indis criminately, regardless of membership In the club, was lowering the standard of the organisation, placing It in active rem petition with business men of the city and was giving people the use of the club with out return. Euclid Martin also endorsed the opinion of Mr. Miller generally The question ot nn Increase In the annua dues nnd the abolition of the restaurant was discussed. Mr. Miller declared that the restaurant should not be abolished without due consideration, but that the meals should be served only to members of the club and their Invited guests. John S. Knox said that the first Idea In organizing the club was to have a place where business men could meet durlt g the noon hour nnd discuss business af fairs while at lunch and that he believed this Idea should w preserved. A. Hospc opposed any Increase In the annual dues, saying such a course would drive the retail dealers from membership nnd that from bolng nrdent supporters of the club they would become Indifferent or unfriendly.

Hospe submitted a report on the subject, which was referred to the standing commit tee on Insurance with Instructions to In vestigate the rates In other cities on similar risks and to report findings to the next meeting of the executive committee The attempt of the Real Estate exchange to secure a change In the assessment of reul and personal property tor the purpose of taxation was brought up by Mr. Martin, who insisted that he believed th- merchants of the city were paying as much tax upon their stocks as they should be required to do. Mr. Knox, a member of the Real Estnte exchange, said that the eflorts of that body were not aimed nt having the stocks of merchandise assessed higher, but were devoted to an attempt to have the chartered corporations nnd the private property of the citizens generally assessed at a higher rate. A committee, consisting of C. G. Pearsc, Hnrry Weller and Rome Miller, was ap pointed to nrrnnge for an excursion to Friend. Neb., during the week of October 21. on the occasion of a coursing meet to be held at that place.

WAS The press recently Jecribrd a baffling fire Stnoke castle pouring from the windows of n large warehouse. Knine after engine came dashing to the spot in response to the alarm. Streams of water seemed to fairlv flood the burning build ing, but all efforts were ueless. The structure w as a total loss. " We couldn't put the fire out," stid the chief," because we couldn't discover where it was lo cated. Smoke curled from the roof and poured from the windows, but wc had to work by gacss. We couldn't find the real source of the fire so we couldn't put it out." Now, what does that remind you of in everyday life? Have you ever seen a man or woman taken down suddenly sick? A doctor is called, He tries to overcame the disease, but it gains on him. He calls in another doctor. Thev 6tudx the symptoms, which appear in heart, liver, kidneys, or other organs, and are baffled like the firemen by the eruoke from the various windows of the building. They can locate the symp toms, the smoke of disease, but "they can't locate the disease itself, the real fire centre. A 4-11 CALL. Then there goei out the medical 4-1 call. A half dozen doctors are called. They try their best, bat they can't find the hidden source of disease. That gen erally ends it. The fire of disease destroys the building of the liodr. But it isn't always so. Sometimes somelxdy suggests trying Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery, und to the general amaze ment the fire, is put out the disease is cured. rDr. Pierce' i Golden Medical Discov ery is the best medicine made,'' writes Mr. Michael Maher, of Littlcfalls, X. Y. (6S Centre Si. J. "I had yellow jaundice and liver trouble in November, 190. Was almost dead, lost sixteen pounds in three weeks and my vhole body was as yellow as gold, and I was sick at my stomach all the time. I gave up to die. 1 tried three doctors nnd they gave me tablets nnd pills, and another "one some other stuil, but 1 went to Messrs. O'Rourke & Hurley's drug store and got your 'Golden Medical Discovery.' One 'bottle cured me, and 1 thank it and God that I am a well man. " I am a lielievcr in God and I know that your medicine with my prayers to God cured me. You may publish this, and my name and address' THE COMMOK SENSE OP IT. Now, how is it thnt Dr. IHerce's Golden Medical Discovery cured when everv thing else failed? Because it went right to the source of the disease. It found the fire and put it out. It wasn't like an engine shifting its hose to play on a new point every time a new cloud of smoke came out. It wasn't diverted by symp toms in liver, lungs, heart or kidnevs. It went right for the spot where the fire probably started in tht stomach. When a fire breaks out in n building the most natural place to look for its origin and force is in the neighborhood of the furnace, or along the line of pipes and flues br which the sparks and smoke Land SO Made famous by the early Traders, Explor ers, Pioneers, Mormons, Emigrants, Pony Express Riders, Overland Stage Coaches, Indian Encounters, etc., are seen from the car windows of the Union Pacific trains.

There's just as sound c phikwopbv in Dr. Ptercr's location oh disease as prol'''.y originating in the) stomach The stomach is the 'nutritive, center of the bod When the stotnacli! and other organs of digestion and nutri tion are diseased evrrv organ suffers, first from lack of nutrition which causes physical weakness- -and next from a cor ruption of the blood which is made from food, liecause undigested substances are received into it and poison it. Symp toms of this condition may appear in heart, liver, lungs, kidneys or any organ, while the cause is in the diseased stom ach. When the stomnrh is cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery"'' tho svmptoms in heart, lungs, liver, etc, disappear, just as the smoke dies down when the fire is put out. "1 feel it mr duty to tell of the won dcrfnl good Dr Pierce's Golden Med ical Discorerv antl 'l'avorite lYecrrp tion ' have done me," writes Mrs. Ada D. Way, of Waterlurv, Dnon Co., Ncbr. "They have cured me ofhver complaint, female trouble and rheumatism. A year ago I was so miserable I felt as though life was not worth living, but to-day I feel quite citflerent. After entmg I would be taken with terrible cram; and distress in stomach and right side, which would last from three to four hours I wns almost afraid to cat anything To-day can eat anything I want. In taking' the ' Golden .Med ical Discovery ' for stom ach trouble I was en tirely cured of rlietunat ism, which I had had for almost ten years, and had tried almost every thing I ever heard of to get cured, but if I did get a little bolter it would only be for a Aie and the least exposure would bring it all back on me again. I think the ' Pavonte Prescription ' the lesi medicine ever known for women, and the ' Pellets ' have no equal to my notion. I keep them in the house all the time. They nre all the doctor wc have, had for two years. Words cannot express my grati tude." IT PITS T1IE MRE OCT. There's no denrmc the fact of the cures eflected by "Dr. Pierce's GoMen Medical Discovery. It cures through the stomach diseases of other organs remote from the stomach, but which have their origin in disease of the stom ach und other organs of digestion and nutrition. It puts out the fire of disease because it goes to the Kmrve of disease, nnd cures the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Life is sus tained by food and food alone. But food will tiot sustain life except H is properly digestcd and assimilated. Blood is di gested food, and is food in its nutritive form. Diseases which prevent digestion affect the quality and quantity of the nu trition extracted from food. As the food is affected to the blood made from food is also affected, and through the blood the whole body dependent on the blood for its vitality is affected. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures discuses of the stomach and its allied organs, and enables the perfect digestion and as similation of food. It purifies the blood, increases h in quantity and improves it in quality, by enriching it with the red corpuscles of health, Sometimes a dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines, wiU oiler the customer a substitute as being J'just ns good " as the " Discovery." It is better for him because it pays better, but it is not as good for you, if you want the medicine that has cured others, and -which you believe will cure yon. this is raws.
