of mother clubs anl newspapers that
take pleasure In giving apace to Joke at the
xpense of a mothers' meeting should havn
been present or represented at a meeting
of the Mothers' club of Omaha In the
Ucture room at tho public library yestor
day afternoon.
The gathering was not an aggregation
of society women, In session to dlscusi
tb latest In theatricals, but a number
of motherly mothers who have organized
to discuss the ways of rearing children
and to profit by the experience of each
other. Each member present seemed fully
to reallie that "the hand that rocks tho
cradle Is the hand that rules the world."
consequently tho greatest solemnity and
deliberation marked the proceeding.
After tho meeting had been called to or
der, tho leader read n few verses from
Elizabeth Hnrrlson'H "Study of Hhlld Nn
ture," the member Jotning In tho discus
sion of each topic. Much of the lime was
given to Infants and children under 2 yean
old. It was decided that n child of that
ge wastes too much energy and that some
thing should bo suggested that would ken
tho little one from throwing away this
great energy something that will help hlra
In doing something good and great.
MolfiNsm nml (.'iiltuii I'lnn.
A point that was decided that will llkclv
cause nn Indignation meeting of the 2-year-olds
was In regard to presents given tho
little ones. Time out of mind It has been
tho custom for 2-year-olds to have tho
best that money could buy. The Mothers'
club has come to the conclusion that this
period In the llttlo one's llfo Is "the Investi
gating age." This Is proved by tho fact
that no matter how valuable a present Is
glvqn to tlio baby, the first thing he doco
In to take It to pieces to find out tho where
fora and the cnusc-of-lt.
It was announced nnd received with ft
vor that a basket of clothespins la tbe most
suitable plaything for u child until after
he passed his second milestone.
In giving her experience In nmuslng her
baby and keeping him employed, ono
mother said' "I put molasses on his hands
and then give him some cotton. It keens
him busy and In a good humor trying to
Villi off the cotton from his fingers."
Tho following song was recommended as a
never falling sleep producer:
This Is auntie who wear h black shawl,
Tills Is brother who plays with a bull.
Another that stunds a close second Is:
Clo to sleep, little thumb, that' one;
Go to ulcep, pointing linger, that's two;
Go to sleep, mldilWt linger, that'H three;
Go to sleep, rlnz ringer, that's four;
Go to sleep, llttlo linger, thnt'n live.
fliiKKONtlrr Tlierniictitlcn.
As each finger Is named tho mother Is
supposed to pull It so that tho baby knows
which Is ubleep, and by this method tin
also learns tho names of his fingers. Ax
she pulls No. 5 he Is supposed to be
asleep. If he Is not asleep well, the book
doesn't say what to do. Hut the baby will
soon learn what will happen.
The Mothers' club meets each week and
fnthors and brothers are cordially Invited
to be present, especially those who believe
that theso good mothers nro wasting tholr
tlme. "It would be a good thing for the
men to attend," said one woman, "and
find out Just what wc arc doing, and likely
there wouldn't be much grumbling If tho
meals wero not on time the daya our club
meets."
After tho cHlldrcn had been put away
tho minutes nf last meeting were read and
approved. The members then held an elec
tion of officers with tho following result:
Mrs. Samuel Patrick, president; Mrs. M.
I). Hancock, secretary. The president wan

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 9.-Charles A.
Ilookwalter (republican), who was elected
mayor yesterday, will take his oftlce at
noon tomorrow, succeeding Thomas Tng
gart (democrat), who has held tho nlllco
for six year. The republicans nlso elected
the city clerk, police Judge and a majority
of the city council, Hookwalter's plurality
will exceed 2,000.
A child three years of aire died of
drunkenness the other day in New York
City, The parents said they had given
the child whisky to strengthen hint.
In their absence he found a bottle of
whisky and drank from it, until he fell
over in a drunken stupor, from which
the physician could not arouse him.
That is only one case in several cases
of baby drunkards recently noted. The
important fact is that alcoholic stimu
lants quickly develop the alcoholic habit
in children. This fact is just as true
when the alcohol in disguised as a medi
cine, a "sar&aparilln " or other "com
pound." So many medicines contain
alcohol, to the same extent that it is con
tained in beer or whisky, that parents
should be cautious what medicines they
give their children.
There is absolutely no alcohol, whisky
or intoxicant in an form in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, neither docs
it contain opium or any other narcotic.

medicine, It does not make flabby flesh
but good, firm flesh and muscle. It is

QUEER QUESTION IN COURT

Time.
How large do rabbits grow In Germany?
This In the question that blindfolded Jus
tice nearjy tripped over Wednesdny after
noon In police court. It was necessary to
know In order to properly decide the caso
against Henry Ilonehoff, tho Henson
butcher who Is charged with bringing un
stamped meat Into the city In violation of
an ordinance which ays the only meat
exempt from the Inspector's stamp Is that
of "animals cut In pieces the size of a
rabbit or smaller." What the framers
meant, probably, was that If tho animal
slaughtered was larger than a rabbit tho
meat must bear tho Inspector's stamp, but
(hat wasn't what they said, so the ques
tion for the court to decide was whether the
rhunks of meat In flonehoff's wagon Octo
ber 4 were larger or smaltcr than a rabbit.
There was much testimony both ways.
Then 11 was suddenly discovered that a
rabbit r.s a unit of measurement leaven
much to be desired. There nro rabbits and
rabbits, some little, some big. The prose
cuting attorney said he didn't know
whether a cottontail, a Jack, a Welsh rare
bit or a Belgian hnre was Intended, and
the court said he didn't either. Then tho
gloom of doubt was Intensified by Charles
Daltrop, who took the stand and said that
eleven years ago In Oerrr.any he had seen
a rnbhlt as big as n half-crown sheep, nnd
held hla hands about three feet apart to
Indicate the length.
.Iiirlftilli'tltin In I.I in I (!.
"This court has no Jurisdiction In Ger
many!" exclaimed tho city prosecutor.
"That's no reason why it should rule out
German rabbits," retorted Attorney Bow
man, flonehoff's counsel. "We have a reci
procity treaty with Germany."
"Hut a rabbit a yard long would be a
monstrosity."
"Nobcdy said It was a yard long. Judgii
(addressing Judge Gordon) have you a
rule?"
"I have a rule against smoking," nn
swered his honor.
"No, I mean a foot rule, a ruler."
"Oh, yes, I have ono horo that I was
Just mensurlng Conncll's brief with. Is
this what you want?"
I)y means of this brass-lined stick and
an expert butcher, after excluding the Ger
man nrtlclc, a standard was finally de
cided upon and tho measurements of an
official rabbit were announced from thn
bench. Ho Is CxlS Inches.
Sanitary OOlcer Woolrldge, who made tho
arrest, took tho stand.
Mnrkrtl liy Hiiriu-xN.
"What kind of meat did the defendant
have In his wagon?" was asked.
"I don't know, but It had tho harness
marks on It yet."
BonehofT, the defendant, took the stand.
"Where wero you going with that meat,
Mr. Bonchoff?" nsked tho city prosecutor.
"I hove no Ico out nt my place, so I was
going to tho cooler with It."
"And got Into the cooler yourself In
stead. That was hard luck. Do you know
how largo rabbits grow In Germany?"
At 1 o'clock Ofllccr Woolrldge brought
a piece of the contraband meat up to place
It In evidence, and ns the commodity had
laid unlced In the stable toolbox for a week
court adjourned rather suddenly about that
time. The attorneys on both sides said
they wanted time to look up the law be
fore summing up the evidence, nnd they
will agree between them as to when the
addresses are to bo made.

An Inquisition of peculiar character was
In progress In Omaha nnd South Omaha
yesterday, the conclusion of which, If It
ever tees the light of day, will bo made
public In Washington.
The Investigation was conducted by Dr.
A. D. Melvln, assistant chief of the bureau
of animal Industry of tho Department of
Agriculture, and Colonel 8. It. Burch, chief
clerk of that department. Tho recorder of
tho peculiar court was James B. Haynes,
private secretary of Sonator Millard. The
Investigation was held at tho request of
Senator Millard, who for two months or
more has had his attention called to
trouhlo said to have beon existing In the
mlcroscoplsts' department of the Inspection
bureau of South Omaha. Tho first knowl
edge the senator had of the matter was
when a man from South Omaha called on
him In August nnd told him that trouble
existed between the nsslstatlt mlcroscoplst
on ono side nnd Dr. Wake, the mlcroscoplst
In charge, and Dr. Don C. Aycr, the vet
erinarian In chnrge. Tho senator referred
the matter to the secrotary of agriculture.
Following this complaint came others from
n number of men nnd women. Tho senator
ngatn wrote to Washington and received a
letter saying that "the caso of Miss Mary
Glblcn had been Investigated and found to
bo without merit." To this communication
tho senator replied that In his correspond
ence he had not mentioned "the case i.f
Miss Mary Glblcn," nor of anyone elso lit
particular, but he desired the charges In
vestigated In tho Interests both of the de
partment and himself. No definite reply
was made to this communication.
Taken tip tvllll AVIIhoii.
When the senator was In Washington
two weeks ngo ho called upon Secretary
Wilson nnd discussed the cose with him.
Tho secretary know nothing of thn matter
nnd called Dr. Melvln Into the office. The
doctor seemed adverse to a discussion and
tho senator became Insistent, finally say
ing that he believed thnt tho assistant chief
could do no hotter thun to make the In
vestigation. "I know nothing of the merits
of the case," said the sonator nt that time,
but I want an investigation mado so that
the rights of bo parties may be deter
mined." He wns told that tho assistant chief
would be In Omaha In a short tlmo and
would tnko tho matter up. Thn senator re
quested the assistant chief to call upon
him as soon as he arrived, before going to
South Omaha.
The assistant chief, with the chief clerk,
arrived Tuesday afternoon In Omabn. They
called on tho senator and were given pa
pers which bad been filed In tho matter.
Theso officers showed a strong disinclina
tion to take the matter up. Again the
senator Insisted, finally remarking:
"I want this matter investigated fully.
so that I will never hear of It again dur
ing my term of office. 1 don't want any
whitewashing of any kind. Let your re
port bo conclusive and' the persons In tho
right be sustained. Now this Is not my
Investigation. It Is for tbo department.
Mr. Haynes, my secretary, will assist you
In every way In his power. If you do not
make tho Investigation I can do nothing,
but I will be In Washington this winter
and then you will hear from me."
Tho officers decided to make tho Investi
gation nnd It was started yesterday morn
ing In South Omaha. The evidence ad
duced was not made public, but a person
present at the Investigation said:
'The trouble. In tho department seems
to bo a lack of discipline. It In charged
by some of tho young women that favor
itism exists and that somn nro permitted
liberties denied others. Thero are nbout
twcnty-flvo women In the department and
some seem to do protty much as they
please, while others ore held down to tho
rules strictly. Thero was no chnrgo re
flecting upon the character or professional
ability of tho vctorlnnrlans."
Wo m en m Through TnlklnK.
When tho officers left South Omaha yes
terday afternoon it was said that tho In
vestigation had closed and that tho as
sistant chief nnd his clerk would leave
for Stoux City last night. When this an
nouncement was inudo sovcral of the women
went to Senntor Millard, saying thnt they
had not been permitted to testify fully In
tho matter; that they had been silenced
by the officers. The senator called the at
tention of tho officers to these statements
and they Immediately decided to hold a
session In Omaha last night. Tho women
wero requested to appear at 8 o'clock,
which somo of them did,
When asked about the case last night
Dr. Melvln said: "Wc are here as repre
sentatives of the Civil Service commission
to cxa'mlno certain candidates for promo
tion. Wo examined ulneteon taggers for

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. !. The action cf
greatest Importance taken today br the
Triennial Ep;scopal convention was tho
anoption by the house of bishops, by n vote
of 37 to 21, of- canon 36, which relates to
the solemnization of marriage. All of Its
provisions had previously been argued, ex
cept those contained In section 4. which
forbade the marriage of persons divorced
for any cause not existing before marriage,
"For any cause not existing before mar
riage" Is understood to refer to such causes
as Ineanlty, Inability to execute n contract
the existence of a living wife, or husband,
or llko reasons which practically render
tbe marriage null nnd void,
This section has been a bono of contention,
a strong element In the church holding
that tho remarriage of the innocent party
to a divorce granted on the ground of In
fidelity should not be forbidden. The
bishops have refused Vo afcopt this view of
the matter. The question Is by no means
settled, as the whole subject Is now to come
up in tho house of deputies, where It Is
expected to cause a protracted debate. The
canon, as finally passed by the houso of
bishops, reads:
Scale 2.1,. Citnnn M qniA ia

at least two witnesses of the mnrrlnge.
4. No minister shall solemnize n mnr
rlnge between any two perenns until by
Inquiry ho shnll have satisfied himself that
neither person has been, or Is, the hus
band or tho wife of nny other person then
living, iinlesi tho former mnrrloge was
annulled by a decree of some civil court
of competent Jurisdiction for cnU!"e exist
ing before such former marriage.
Another itnportnnt feature of tho work
of the house of bishops today was the ap
pointment of a committee of Ave to act with
committees of priests and laymen, consti
tuting a Joint committee of fifteen. In con
sidering tho proposed chnngo In the namo
of the church. The committee has no
power to act, but Is to report Its findings
at the next general convention to bo held

favor of the appointment of a missionary
