Another effort, wns made Into Friday
afternoon by' Judgo Oorrton end his attor
ney, J. W. Ellcr, to corral tho police court
bench, but tbo movo was promptly check
mated, nnd the covelod scat nccms an far
ut of hl reach now 03 at any time during
tho last eighteen day;. ' ' '
At G 'o'clock Attorno'y tiller entered City
Clerk Klbotirn'B oflloo with four typewritten
document, which ho aBkWto have filed
a parts of J ml bo Gordon's four ofllclnl
bonds, already In tho city archives. The
documents wero constitutional oaths, duly
aligned, witnessed and attested, each pre
ceded by an explanation to tha effect that
ho (Gordon) had - Inadvertently taken the
wrong oath, and that be wanted now to
rnnko good tho oversight, These Attorney
Elle'r' spfead but (Ipo'rT tho clerk's counter
and calling Mr. Klbourn's attention to
them, asked (bat they bo made matter ot
public record. .
Clerk Elbourn declfned to recelvo them.
'Your client', Judgo Gordon, In not an offi
cer of this city," hi! said, "and so thcro Is
no ( reason why ho should fllo an oath ot
offico. These papers aro only so much rub
bish. And If they aro left here tbey will bo
treated as wasto paper. I shall not be re
sponsible for thorn."
Tho four oaths of office, with their at
tached explanations, aro still spread out on
tho. clerk's desk.
' l'Ht Out by (he Puller.
Until mtdnlKht last night five men, two
Bt them Judgo Gordon's sons, guarded the
entrances of Clerk Hlbourn'o olllce, but at
thai hour two. policemen entered tho city
hall nnd put, them out. Thoy had to bo
rjectert by, force, as tbey declined to obey
the offlco'ra'.ord.crH to leavo tho building.
In oxplnlnfng tho ncccsalty for tho
guards Attorney Eller wild: "Clerk Elbourn
nald bo would not bo responsible for tba
documents and hinted thnt If they wero left
thero thoy night find, their way Into tho
wasto basket. Now, If that Ih to bo their
fate, wo want to know by what agency they
Incur It. Wo don't want to put tho city
elerk or tho employes of his office In a posi
tion to contend that, they were lost through
accident, or through the carelessness of
aome outsider pushing, them upon the floor,
Bo tho guards wero Instructed to notify
evoryono wh'o'by 'nny chanco entered that
offico during, the night or early morning as
to tho truoA8tnto of affnlra, thoy could
bo careful not to molest thpso papers."
Tho raid by tlie. pollco at midnight, how
ever, frustrated this plan, and tho four
precious documents lay unguarded from
that hour until .tho offico opened for busi
ness this morning.
Attorney Ellor eays he will mandamus
tho clork to file them somo tlmo todny.
This action of Gordon and Ellcr was mado
necessary by tho discovery January 18 that
Judgo Gordons-had signed the statutory In
stead ot tho constitutional .oath, which, It Is
assorted, Invalidated his claim to tho office
ot police Judgo. , v

As an echo of (ho stirring scenes at
tending tho ascendency of Judgo Derka to
the pollco court bench January 7, during
which Judge Gordon waB forcibly ejected
from the room by an officer, tho deposed
magistrate Is now preparing for revenge,
Bomo tlmo today bis counsel, J. W. Kllcr,
will fllo suit against Mayor Moorcs, J. J,

sergeant ot police, and at least ono mom-
bor of tbo city council yot to bo dotcrmlned,
In which ho will seek legal redress from
their bondsmen for the alleged falso lm
prlsonmont of Judgo Gordon.
"It Isn't necessary. In making a vnlld
charge of falso Imprisonment, that tho In
lured person should have beon actually bo
bind tho bars," said Attorney Ellor. "Just
iho piomept a man lo deprived of his liberty
heils a prisoner, and Judgo Gordon was
flepriyad of his liberty when an officer took
him by tho shoulder and pushad him out

f
At Templo Israel last ntgltt Itnbbl Simon
lectured on tho "Dreamer Israel," taking
his Ideas from tho text, "And It shall como
to pass that I will pour My spirit over all
flesh and your old men may dream and
your young men shall aeo vlatons."
Tho rabbi stated that what was wanted
today wero practical men, men- who could
tell facts, and that a majority of people
looked with contempt upon tho drearaor
or visionary. "Practical men and dream
ers," said he, "aro not to bo compared.
Tho dreamer, however, Is first of all. Tho
poet Is n dreamer and after him comes
the sclentlot and tho ones' who' derive good
from tho dreamer."
Civilization ho deflnod as trying to get
near tho dreams of tho world. Tho speaker
tatcd that Columbus was a dreamer, Wash
ington, Lincoln, Henry George were dream
ers. Peoplo laughed when Marconi thought
of wireless telegraphy. Whether in ,scl-
enco or religion dreams come first. Jesus
was a dreamer, and the people of today arc
realizing these dreams. Tho speaker stated
that of all people tho Jews wero first aa
reamers "they live on dreams, feed on
roams and aro trying to realize dreams.
Mosca nursed a dream for forty years.1'
In speaking of Zangwlll a "Dreamers of
tho Qhotto," Dr. Simon said: "Men ot
marvelous brains came out of those ghet
tos. Dut doubtless the greatest, dreamer of
them alt Is Zangwll! himself."
In speaking of tho Zlon movement- tho
poaker said: "I may say tho Zlon .move
ment Is Impractical and a dream. It Is a
beautiful dream, and the only dream for
centuries that has brought together mil
lions of Jews under one family. Whatever
wo say against It, It has done much for
us In seeing visions, nnd on our dreams
epends tho futuro of tho Jow."
A beautiful song scrvlco preceded the
lecturo.

DAIRYMEN FIGHT THE CITY
They Decide to Test Legality
of
Ordinance Iteqnlrlns;
Licenses.
Members of the Omaha Dairy association
havo decided to Ignoro tho city ordinance
requiring oach operator ot a dairy wagon to
pay nn annual license fee of $10, Notices
that the Uccnso feo must bo paid without
further delay havo been ignored and 'the
dairymen stand ready to resist payment n
the courts.
Tho failure ot the council to pass ordi
nances which would drlvo small hand dair
ies out of existence provoked tho fight the
dairymen .who havo wagons aro making.
All told there are about 140 Omaha milk
dealers who deliver their products from
wagons. The hand dairies, conducted by
people who have only a few cows, havo
proved to be hard competition for tho larger
dealors and the Omaha Dairy' association
attempted to stamp out theso small dairies
by proposing an ordinance compelling overy
milk dealor to pay an annual uccnso tee or
f 10, tho sum which tho city ordinance fixes
aa tho license feo of wagon dairies.
Vigorous protests against' such an ordl
nanco were filed by persons who keep only.
a tow cows. Under the present, ordinance
email dairies are required to pay $1 a year
for oachcow. Men who keep .only a few
cows appeared before tho council and ex
plained that the attempt ot the .association
to fli. a fee of $10 for all dairymen was
merely an attempt on the part ot tha milk
trust to drive small dairymen out ot bust
neis. V

Order of Scottish Clans" mot-" to colebrato
tho 143d anniversary of the birth of Ilobcrt
Hums.
Tho audience was large. Clan Gordon has
about 150 members and with tholr frlonds
at least COO people woro present, ono ot
tho largest crowds over assembled In Omaha
on such an occasion. The program opened
with an Introduction by the pipes, tho
pipers being J. C. Iiuchnnan, piper of the
Ian, and, Gcorgo McUougall. Following
this was an overturn by (ho orchestra, In
which many ot tho popular molodtcs of
Auld Scotia wero Introduced.
On behalf ot tho clan James Cameron,
tho chief, made a brlof address of wolcomo
and A. Jamlcson then sang "Wo Aro n'
Scottish Here." This called for an encoro
and the last verse of tho samo song wns
repeated.
Tho next number was one of tho best ot
tho evening, Mrs. S. D. Lees singing "Jcs-
le's Dream." Thero aro few voices any-
whero better fitted for Scotch songs than
that of Mrs. Lees, nnd with hor- voice she
combines n full understanding of tho dia
lect and nn appreciation of the forco of
tho sentiment. In responso to an encoro
sho showed that sho not only understood tho
pathos, but well know tho humor, the song
I'm Glad Ma Halrt's Ma Aln" being n
fine example of tho humorous in Scotch dia
lect songs.
Address by A'lce Consul.
A. A. Covnlt then rendered a cornet solo
nnd this was followed by tho prlnolpal ad
dress of tho ovenlng. "Memory ot Purns,"
by M. A. Hall, British vlca consul at
Omaha. Tho memory of Hums, In the mind
of the speaker, called up tho gifted plow
man, born to povorty, suffering from Its
pangs all his life, but giving to tho world a
wealth ot sentiment which nothing could
replaco. Durns, said the speaker, pre
served the characteristics of tho people of
Scotland In a manner not equaled by tho
representative of any other race'; ho crys
tallzcd Its ianguago and place,! Its tradi
tions, Its legends and its superstitions in
form which will prcservo them forever. No
other poot over touched tho commonplace
and lifted It into tho subllmo as has tho
singer of Ayr.
Following tho nddrees came the next mu
sical hit of tho evening, when Mrs. H. W..
Fltt sang "JcsbIo, the Flower of Dumblanc."
Sho divided honors ot handling tho words
to their best effect with Mrs. Lees nnd her
power ot expression wns something well
worth the visit to tho concert. In responso
to nn encoro sho sang "Comln' Through tho
ltyo."
"The Courtln' ot T'Nowhead's Boll" waB
neat bit ot Scottish recitation, which
was admirably handled by Miss Mary Wal
lace. As a comic singer Sam Morris brought
down the house, and was called upon for a
second appearance beforo the audience.
Danclns; Wins Applause.
In dancing tho Highland fling Miss Jeanle
Falconer showed skill which 'was only ex
colled when, In response to"cnlls, she, with
Georgo McDougall, danced tho sword danco
to the music of tho pipes. This dance
brought tho enthusiasm of the audlenco
to Its hoigbt.
Miss Blanch Sorenson sang "Banks o'
Loch Lomond" in a manner highly pleasing
and was called upon for a second song. A
quartet consisting of Mi's. Fltt, Mrs. Lees
and Mr. Jamleson and Mr. Morrison, sang
'Duncan Gray" and "Such a Wife as Wllllo
Had" aa only Scotch peoplo can sing Scotch
songs.
Mrs. A. D. Edwards sang "Angus Mc
Gregor" excellently, but when, in response
to an encore, sho sang nn English song, her
voice was heard to much better effect.
Tho Land Wo Loft and This" gave J.
Kennedy an opportunity to eulogize tho
Anglo-Saxon race and draw a parallel bo-
tweon tho work ot Great Britain In South
Africa and the United States In the Phil
ippines, saying that the race was destined
to rule the world, bringing freedom nnd
liberty to the oppressed. Mrs. George
Shields, in tho character of an Irish emi
grant, brought dow.n tho houso.
Then Mrs. Donald, McQulston sang a
Gaelic fcong in u manner highly pleasing- to
tho audience nnd for its benefit Bbo sang
the English translation.
Preceding tho last song, "A Man's a
Man for a' That," by Mr. Dempster, James
Lindsay, tho secretary, explained tho ob
ject and charactor of the Order ot Scot

Mr. Caulfleld was never married, and the
only known surviving relative is a sister,
JJales Ella 8, Caulflclfl, who retldei In Tev
sylvnnla. Friends in Omnha bnvo com
municated with friends in Chicago to team
tho exact address ot tho sister and to as
certain her desires as to tho funeral ar

Members of tho Taxpayers' lraguo will
appear beforo tho city coftncll At Its gen
eral committoo meeting Monday afternoon
and submit a proposition to erect a perma
nent market houso In Capitol nvcnuo with
out nny expense to the city.
Plans for the building havo been prepared
and tbo members ot tbo lcaguo stand ready
to build the structure and recelvo thelr pay
for tho building In rentals collected from
tho stalls. Tho Taxpayers' leaguo consists
of Alfred Millard, C. F. Mandcrson, Harry
T. McCormlck, Joseph Goldsmith, L. V.
Morso, Only Lumber company and
other persons who ,havp property In the
vicinity of tho propospd. site In Capitol ave
nue between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets. Many wholesalers who oppose tho
market slto location used tor tho last few
years nro also nctlvo In their support of tho
proposition mado by tho TaxpuyorA' league.
IMnns Alrenily Drinvn.
Under tho direction of tho leaguo plans
and specifications tor tho proposed building
wero drawn by W. T. Mlsenor. These have
been .shown to tho city engineer and several
city counctlmen and will, bo laid beforo tbo
cpuncll Monday afternoon. Tbo plans show
a building of brick and Iron, forty-olght
feet wldo nnd In two sections, each of which
Is 264 feet long. Each section. of tho build
ing has doors at tho ends and doors In tho
center of tho sides. A tower stands In tho
center of each part of tho building.
Tho markot houso Is to bo only ono story
In holght, but will bo quite high, so that
tbo ventilation may bo good. The rides of
tho building will be provided with largo
windows only n. few Inches npart. Abovo
theso largo windows will bo scml-clrcular
windows extending almost to tbo roof.
Through tho center of, tho building thoro
Is to bo a doublo row of stalls claht feet
wldo, and theVo will bo a ,row of similar
stalls along each sldo wall, Wldo aisles
will popnrnto theso rows. At intervals of
twenty-four feet thero nro to bo passaga-
ways through the center stnlls connecting
tho two main aisles.
Cost A limit Forty Tliousnnil.
It Is estimated by tho leaguo that such a
market houso as la shown In Its plans will
cost between $35,000 nnd $40,000. No figures
havo -been prepared to show what tho In
come from such a building would be, but
tho members of tho league express the
opinion that tbo rentals from such a build
ing for a limited number of years would
moot tho cost nnd give tho city a markot
without cost.
Capitol tvenuo Is 120 feet wide. At pres
ent tho sidewalks along tho avenuo nro
twenty feet wide. It Is suggested that
theso could well be narrowed to ten foot.
Granting that a market houso forty-eight
foet wide - Is erected, this chango In the
width of tho walks would lcavo n driveway
twenty-six foot wldo on oach sldo of. tho
house.
Councilman C. O. Lohcck examined tho
plans prepared under tho -direction of tho
leaguo and exprosscd his approval.. He said
that- ho believed such a 'market house
would be equal to any hacsnwduring his,
recent visit to eastern cities
Tho Taxpayers' league h'as secured a
waiver ot damage from nearly rnll tho own
ers of property along the section of Capitol
avenuo whero It 'desires to have the' markot
houso located.

Commissioner O'Kecffo opined that his
democratic contemporaries might bo satis
fied with their own explanations ot their
chango of front, but ho wasn't, and ho voted
with tho republican members for tho ilrst
real mcasuro of retrenchment that, tho
present board Is nblo to undertake. Last
night ho said that ho still believes as ho
did when ho voted in commltteo ,and that
ho would stick by tho schedulo In tho
mooting this morning, which seems to make
certain Its adoption.
County Clerk Miller encountered somo
more unpleasantness yesterday, when the
committoo, of two, which ho had selected to
"Investigate tho real needs of tho ofllco,"
and tell the commissioners In two hours
tlmo moro than they had been ablo to dis
cover In soverol years, received from- that
commltteo a polite refusal to servo. Al
fred Millard and Fred II. Dnvls had pre
viously turned down lils request, nnd yes
terday it was John S. Knox nnd S. A. Mo
Whortor, upon whom devolved tho samo
unpleasant duty. They woro humane about
It, but they let him know that his fight for
more clerks nnd more salary than tho board
wished to allow was really no affair of
theirs, as they are not and havo no doslro
to bo In politics at least not in Mr. Mil
ler's solitlcs.
Tnlk About Miller's Time.
From" the room next to Miller's thero has
also commenced to como somo plainly
audlblo suggestions that tho work of his
forco would be lightened if tho clerk, him
self would take off his hat and stay awhile
ovory day or two. Even tho extremely
discreet Hofcldt remarked yesterday, qulto
emphatically, that ho didn't know bow
much longer it would tako Mr. Miller to
straighten up his private business affairs
preparatory to giving bis full tlmo to tho
office for which ho Is now drawing full
pay. - , i

CHANGE
Some Sensible Advice to Women by
Mrs. E. Sailer,
President Gorman Eolief Association, Los Angelos, OaL
Ovrinp to modern methods ot living, not one woman In a thouennd ap
proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot Hashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until It
ecms ready to burst, nnd the faint feeling thnt follows, sometimes with chills,
ns if the heart were going to stop for good, are only iv few of tho symptoms of
a dangerous nervous trouble. Tho nerve aro crvlng out for nsslstnnoe. Tho
cry should be heeded In time. Lyriliv K. l'lnkliniii's Vegetable! Com
pound wns prepared to meet the needs of woman'n system at this trying
period of her life, nnd nil women who mo it pass through this trying period
with comfort nnd safety.
MRS. E. SAILER.
"Deati Mrs. Pinkiiasi: When I passed through what is kviown
as ' chanpo of life,' I had two years' sutfering, sudden heat, and as
quick chills -would pass over me ; my appetite was variable and I never
could tell for u day nt a timo how I would feel tho next day. Fivo
bottles of Lytlia 13. Plnkham's VcRetnlilo Compound chanped all
that, my days became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day
since, now six years.
" "Wo have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our
charitable work, sis wo And that to restore a poor mother to health so
Bhopan support herself and those dopendent upon her, if such thcro be,
is truer charity than to give other aid. You have my hearty endorse
ment, for you have proven yourself a truo friend to sull'ering women."
Mns. E. Sailkh, 7301 Hill St., Los Angeles, Cal.
When one stops to think about .the good Mrs. Sailer derived from Mrs.
Plnkham's advice nnd medicine, it seems almost beyond belief yet it is nil
true as Btatcd in her letter published above nt her own request.
No other medicine in tho world hits received tmch widespread
and unqualified endorsement. Refuse nil substitutes.
As a matter of positive fact Mrs. Plukham has on file thousands of letters
from women who have bseh safely carried through that danger period
"Change of Life." Mrs. Sailer's cure is not an unusual one ior Mrs. Pink
ham's medicine to accomplish. '
No other person can jjivo such holplnpr advice to women who
are sick as can Mrs. Plnkham, for none havo had such n great
experience her address is Iiynn, Mass., and her advice free if
you are sick write her you aro foolish if you don't.

' Baltimore, Md., March 30, fooi,
CtntUmiix 1 IleinK entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
full history of my case, to be ued at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began toeing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
tny hearing In tills ear entirely. .
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without nny success, consulted n num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told rne that
only an operation could help mr, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises woulil
then cease, hut the hearing In the affected ear would be lost forever. 1
I then saw your advertisement accidentally In a New York paper, ana ordered your treat
ment. After I had used It only a few days according to your directions, the noise ceased, and
to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and bee to remain very truly yours, . ., ".
