At a special session of the eltv enunrll
held yesterday the appropriation and levy
ordinances were Introduced. After being
read for the first time the ordinances were
referred to the judiciary committee. An
other special meeting will be held today,
when th committee will make its report
nd the. ordinances read the second time.
Vhe levy as agreed upon Is 8.48 mills. This
hi lower th&n was expected and Is lower
by $10,000 than the estimated expenses.
With the levy mentioned the city will de
rive from taxation the sum of $167,4t;7.41.
In accordance with the charter the amount
levied has been divided Into funds and
will be apportioned aa follows:

Members of the finance committee
Worked three days trying to figure out the
lowest posslblo amount the city could get
along with and finally agreed upon the
figures presented In the ordinance. Some
persona seemed to' favor the plan of mak
ing a levy of 10 mjlls In order to allow
nough money to run the city without fen
verlap, but the council seemed to think
that such a levy would be too high and
consequently cut down the expenses to the
lowest possible notch. Mayor Koutsky and
members of the council think that by
Watching carefully all expenditures the city
will be able to pull through the coming
fiscal year without going outside of Its In
' Police Board Meets.
A public meeting of the Fire and Police
board was held last night in the council
chamber. Chief Brlggs made a report of
the escape of Mox Terrell and asserted
that the escape was due to the carelessness
Of J. M. Fowler, the city jailer. Fowler
was , called upon to explain and admitted
that he was carelens. Nolan suggested that
Fowler be fined ten days' pay for neglect
of duty and this was carried.
Nolan offered a motion, which was
. was adopted, directing the chief of police
to recognise no orders of release from the
' police Judge unless all fines are paid in
full, just how Chief Brlggs Is to ascer
tain what record Is on the court's books
Mr. Nolan did not attempt to explain,
neither did he offer any suggestions.
The rules and regulations for the police
force will be copied from the book Issued
to the Omaha police and 100 copies will be
printed for use here.
Neither the chief of police Vior the chief
ef the fire department may hereafter order
supplies of any kind. All such orders must
go through the office of the secretary, Mr.
Bergqulst, who , will act as purchasing
agent.
It was asserted that Peter Uvick, Twen-,ty-seventh

Laborers Wanted.
Those who have to deal with laborers
" here say that there Is a scarcity of help
Just now. It almost takes a search war
rant to find a man who If willing to work
' 1 out In the sun these days. At the coal
yards it Is with' difficulty that men can be
found who will unload cars, either of coal
or building, material.. , The packers also
complain of a scarcity of men, although
scale wages are being paid. One business
,i man. hunted the town over yesterday for a
" half dosen laborers, but could not find a
man willing to go . to work in the sun.
Buildings here now under construction are
being delayed on account of the lack of
unskilled labor and the disinclination of
killed workmen to report for duty during
the hot weather.

Board Wants Bids.
Chairman Bock of the building and
grounds committee of the Board of Edu
cation Is advertising for bids for the con
struction of a four-room brick addition to
the Highland school. Bids will be received
by Chairman Bock up to 8 p. m. on the
night of July 20. All bids must be ac
companied by a check for $300 aa an-evidence
of good faith, and as is customary
the board reserves the right to reject any
or all bids.
Inqnlry for Bonds.
Clerk 'shrlaley Is being asked almost
dally for Information regarding the Issue
of $70,000 overlap bonds. From the number
of Inquiries It Is estimated that. there will
be a half dozen or more bids sent In. These
bonds will draw not more than 6 per cent
Interest and will run for twenty years, one
bond being redeemed each year. It was a
hard matter for the finance committee to
get at the exact amount of the overlap on
account of the fact that some warrants
already called have not been presented for
payment. Mr. Shrlgley1 said yesterday that
the $70,000 would barely pay the overlap
as since a revision of figures had been made
the total will most likely reach $70,200.
When the bonds are sold an effort will be
made to clean up the entire outstanding
Indebtedness known as the overlap. The
balance of the debt of the city la already
protected by bonds.
Kdward McBrld Dead.
The remains of Edward McBrlde, father
of George McBrlde arrived here yesterday
from Peoria, 111., and are In charge of
Undertaker Brewer. The deceased was 76
years of age at the time of his death and
was well known in western Iowa and Ne
braska in early days,' having lived in
Council Bluffs in 1856. Until about a year
ago Mr. McBrlde made his home in Omaha,
when he went to Illinois to visit relatives.
Death was caused by a stroke of-paralysis.
George McBrlde arrived last night from
Deadwood. S. D., and stated that funeral
services would be held at 8 a. m. Sunday
from S16 North Nineteenth street. Inter
ment will be at Mount Hope cemetery.
Kobblna- OM Machines.
The police are on the lookout for a bunch
of youngsters who are breaking Into gas
meters where money Is contained. In every
Instance the meter Is damaged In an effort
to get at the coin. Detective , Eslfelder
has a number of boys spotted and experts
to make some arrests today. Most of the
meters robbed are located In- basements
and the thieves find It easy to get in these
warm nights. A monkey wrench Is all
that is needed to break the lock to the
outside of the gas machine, but sometimes
a hatchet has to be used to open the box
where the money Is contained. The police
are confident that they will succeed In
breaking up the gang in a few days.

Flood Loss In Kansas.
Kansas has suffered aa a result: of the
recent floods more than any other state.
No exact figures of the loss sustained can.
of course, be given, but those who have
an Intimate knowledge of the sections sub
merged and the extent and force of the
floods have been making estimates, and the
conclusions which they have reached may
be considered fairly reliable. ..The dam
age done In the principal cities and towns
Is estimated aa follows: - North Topeka,
$260,000; Lawrence, $500,000; Ballna, $200,000;
Manhattan, $150,000; Wamego, $10,000; St.

and Kansas City, Kan., and suburbs,
$8,000,000. No account has been taken of
the smaller towns, although nearly 200 of
these were affected by the floods.
The very lowest estimate that can be
made of the loss done to crops la $5,000,000.

BOSTON. July S. (Special Correspond
ence of The Bee.) Long before the actual
business of the day begins, the streets In
the vicinity of Copley square are thronged
with crowds of teachers, anxious to meet
those from their own stato and see what
they can before the hours of session. The
delegates from Nebraska and Kansas were
very much In evidence at such early hours,
and stood In bunches of five and six plan
ning for the day. Mr. Crabtree, the In
spector of high schools, thought the time
ripe for a trip to Lexington and Concord,
and assembled about forty anxious teach
ers from Nebraska; he gave them all the
information in his power and added many
wise and salutary warnings about keeping
together, etc. They all started and got as
far aa Cambrlde, and then his woe be
gan. Several came to the opinion that they
ought to see Harvard college and got off;
more stopped at the Washington elm, and
some few left the car In Arlington. The
tale is soon told. After starting out with
forty, between desertions and losses
through accident, Mr. Crabtree came back
weary and disgusted with four. Such Is the
Independent spirit of the maids from Ne
braska. The party from Kansas started
off very early, too, and visited many in
teresting places in the heart of the city.
Mr. Bodwell was not Idle, and after
traveling all day remarked that from ap
pearances all the Illustrious men of Boston
were dead. Every other block brings forth
some bit of historic testimony about the
faithful departed. Some very funny things
happened, of course, but I will only men
tion the portly lady from Lincoln, who
stood for half an hour pressing a gas stud
in the Bunker Hill monument 'trying to
summon the elevator that is not there and
never has been, and the other portly
woman (not that all women from Ne-
braska are portly) who, misled by a sign
that said the spot of the Boston massacre
was marked by a circular iron slab, knelt
down and kissed, with patriotic fervor, the
top of a man-hole owned by the Boston
Gaa company. Mr. Thomson of Nelson
went down into the Italian quarters and
poke a few words of welcome to the
urchins assembled there. After that he
had his hands full, for they followed him
about from street to street, until In sheer
desperation he dived Into- a hotel. When he
came out he found the enemy stilt on guard,
and. much to his surprise, as he passed
along each little ragged child presented
him a spray of sweet peas.
It may be of interest to state that Prof.
French, recently elected to the department
of psychology in the State university, Is
here, and is said to be taking a very
active part In the business affairs of the
National Educational association. "Mr.
Fltzpatrlck, former superintendent of
schools in Omaha, is also here, and Is an
other Nebraska man that has something
to say about the way things are run. The
active members of the Nebraska delegation
held a meeting Tuesday In their head
quarters at the Victoria and elected Mr.
Crabtree as the Nebraska member for the
nominating convention. ;
Man of Many Wives.
Mr. McLean, superintendent of the South
Omaha schools, together with his wife and
several pretty-, teachers, have taken up
quarters near the Victoria and are having
a general good time. An action against
Superintendent McLean will probably be
taken by the city of Boston on the charge
of bigamy. Everyone with a blue badge
Is allowed to take his or her family to any
function that is going on, and is entitled
to a reserved seat. Mr. McLean -Tuesday
walked up to the door-keeper and told him
that he bad his wife with him; he passed
in and so did his wife, and three other
teachers ' from South Omaha, when the
keeper asked the three for their badges,
they told him they belonged to Mr. Mc
Lean. Somebody laughed and whispered,
That fellow must be a Mormon."
A very extensive program has been laid
Out for the western teachers and guides
have been appointed to see that everything
Is carried out with the greatest care. Every
policeman is a father to every woman that
he sees, and every street car conductor has
turned his disposition over and made it up
fresh; there is no such thing as a dtsa
greeaoie man, ana me Boston women
teachers are the very loveliest in their own
words that ever were. The rich women of
the city have opened helr doors at certain
hours to visiting teachers, and the poor
strive, by timely suggestions and consid
eratlon, to do their mite in making these
five days days of sisterly love. It goes
without saying that Just such a spirit as
this, shown at Just such times. Is the very
best and surest way to bring the people of
the east and west together In a little mora
than business relations. The members of
the Nebraska delegation say they can see
none of that eastern coldness they have
heard so much of; let them not make a
mistake, though, and Imagine that It does
not exist; the fact is the coldness is over
laid with so much good will that It cannot
come out, but when the convention is over
Boston, stoical Boston, will become Itself
again, and woe then to any unsuspecting
wretch that, misled by the words of the
teachers, comes nere for a good time.

Wahoo's Great Knowing.
With this showing before one It Is easy
to realise what an interest Nebraska has
taken In educational matters. The state
has always been among the foremost In the
line of Improvement, and surely there has
been no falling off In its enthusiasm when
it has been able to send to such a distance
o select and gifted a body of men and
women. A glance at the full register for
Nebraska is enough to convince one that
the beat talent ot the state- has been rep
resented. Just think of Wahoo sending on
seventeen delegates. 1 wonder If there Is
anybody left in town, and other cities have
done as well.
That Omaha, and of course the west. Is
coming in for its share of merit and praise
was amply shown at a meeting the other
evening when . a gentleman from Maine
called attention to the Summer School of
Superintendents and Principals founded In
Omaha. The gentleman in question said In
brief that the move made In Nebraska was
one In the right direction and should be
recognlxed as an advance step toward a
better state of affairs. The experiments
in self-government of schools were also
discussed and the Omaha way of carrying
them on approved of with a will. These are
the things that turn the eyes of educators
toward the city by the Missouri, and those
who have promoted them deserve credit for
their work.

.. LONDON, July 10. Lord Mayor Samuel
gave a luncheon at the Mansion house
here today In honor of Rear Admiral Cotton
and the other officers of the United Btates

After the toasts to King Edward and
President Roosevelt had been received with
enthusiasm, the lord mayor proposed the

"Oentlemer," said the lord mayor, "In
the course of my term of office It Is my

to tell you that this lunch was not of

"I could not let the American squadron
go without showing them, and I hope all
the people of America, that tics of race,

the city of London, more warmly than In

Cross section

Starch.
GLUTEN is the prime muscle -making constit
uent of Wheat, and its flavoring principle.
Indiana Wheat is richest in Gluten, yet 60 per
cent of even that best wheat is,-1- Starch.
Starch is a mere fat-former, heating in Summer,
dyspeptic, and a poor strength food.
PRESTO quick-flour is rich in Gluten, with only a low
percentage of Starch, and is milled down to such unusual
fineness, and uniformity, that it works into pastry twice as
quickly, and twice as evenly, as other flours.
Because of this uniform fineness its tiny particles are
promptly penetrated, and digested, by the Gastric juices
of the stomach, being thus converted into strength long
before ordinary flour starts conversion into fat
Not six per cent of cAmerican flour is equal to
PRESTO in nutrition, flavor, and "keeping" qualities.
Yet Cake, or Pastry, made from it costs a trifle less
than from common flour as comparative recipes prove,
PRESTO needs no Baking Powder, and much less
than other flours, of that costly and indigestible thing
shortening."

ON REGULATINQTHE BARBER
Ramlnntlons of m Philosophic Con
cerning the Operations of
How York Law,
The exhilarating speotacle of Commis
sioner Klessel Invading the barber shops
of the community and terrorising all lax
chin-scrapers with the mighty power of
the Empire state has irritated a few
grumpy persons who are, or whp profess
to be, alarmed at the Increase of commis
sions and ever new restrictions of personal
liberty. The development in the American
of a superb self-dependence and an unpar
alleled efficiency, they affirm, may be
traced to the long absence of state daddy
ism. They pretend to foresee the logical
extension of the Idea which has made of
the genial Barber Klessel a tonsorlal
monarch, conceivably a tyrant, and they
shudder1 at the probable effect on the fu
ture of the republic. They note that a
man may not, without the specific sanction
of the state, dose the sick, plug the aching
tooth, confound prescriptions, bury the
dead, or plumb; but he may at will keep
hotel, restaurant, or boarding house, ooolc,
make and sell confections and hoky-poky,
conduct a school, sell any but obscene lit
erature to children, take charge of men's
spiritual Interests, or do other of the many
things which are quite as important from
a sanitary or moral point of view as are
the regulated enterprises. This inconsist
ency, they predict, will not be allowed to
persist, .but eventually we shall all be sub
ject to the tyranny of a legal form of trade
unionism. They say, further, that the state
can have no sufficient information on which
to base its Intervention; that In the confes
sions of a reformed sanitarian (Prof. Sedg
wick of Massachusetts) It la ahown that
aome of the most popular axioms of sani
tary science are fallacious.
It la useless to contend with the hetero
dox; but when they become merely abusive
and charge the barber with magnifying hln
Importance, and when they attack the leg.
lslature whloh adopted the barber measure
for being "buncoed by sanitary fanatics,"
things must be explained. The scraping
of china la the least of the barber's func
tions. He has been described aa e-human

Eczema, Psoriasis, Itching Piles
Thousands of people suffering from the terrible tortures of these
diseases imagine they have some impurity in the blood, when, as a
matter of fact, the blood has no more to do with this class of ailments
than the eyebrows. '
Skin Diseases
are wholly confined to the epidermis or external skin, and between
the inner and external skins there' are no blood vessels, hence the
disease cannot come from the blood. Barrels of blood medicines can
have no effect on these skin eruptions, for such medicines cannot
reach the seat of the trouble. This class of diseases is caused by a
germ or parasite which burrows into the external skin, there it
lives, thrives and multiplies, and the inflammation they set up causes
the awful itching and, burning sensations.
Tho D. D. D. HciiiGdy
is a liquid preparation applied externally non-greasy that pene
trates the pores of the skin, destroys the germs or parasites and
clears the disease entirely out of the skin, leaving a smooth, 60ft and
healthy covering for the body.
"I have long been a sufferer from whst the doctors called Ecrema. I suflered
from it terribly. It was all over my shoulders and arms, and from my knees to my
feet. My arms and legs were red snd swollen to twice their normal size. I was
taken to ths hospital and remained there for five months under the constant care and
treatment of physicians. They gave me no relief. Somebody recommended the
D. D. D. Remedy. I purchased a hot lis and applied it. Ths second application
took out ths redness and stopped ths itching sad burning so I could, sleep. Ths
Eczema is entirely cured on my arms, snd my legs are almost well.
I recommend ths Remedy to anj ons suffering from Eczema. I am 78 years of
aa." H. E. MEYER, Burlington. Iowa.
"For ths last seven rears I hsrs had Eczema on my hands, and it seemed im
possible to enrs them. Tboy would almost drive ma frantic at times, and I tried every
remedy I could hear of. Physicians were unable to give me any relief, and I had
given up in diepair when I was induced to try a pottle of D. D. D. The first applica
tion gave me relief and started my hands to healing, and after nsing one and a half
bottles. I feel that I am entirely cured. I make this statement so that it may induce
other sufferers to find relief in the D. D D."
MRS. EDWIN DUCKET, Mnncie. Ind.
The remarkable sales we are having on this remedy, and the
universal good reports of its effecatious work warrants us in guaran
teeing this wonderful medicine.

Three-fourtha of all the male persons ot
voting age pass an average of twenty
minutes each day under the manual and
lingual operations of the barber. In his
chair they . are half hypnotized, wholly
amlsble and mentally receptive, and the
Impressions made by the fluent operator
are not easily' effaced. Prof. Quackenbos
vouches for the persistence of Ideas ac
quired In the hypnotic state. Most of these
persons have no other source of oral In
formation. Lathered and half shaved, the
elector cannot flee from the barber as he
can from the cart-tall orator. It Is obvi
ous that the barber is easily the most Im
portant of political missionaries. Well may
he exclaim: "Let me scrape the chins of
the people and I care not who makes their
