XITr, OMAHA DAILY PEE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 100,1. i H0MACEI0 Dl PERIAL SAMSON IflglitT Tinmf Gathers at the Citadel Under His Eliot EltYtN HUNDRED AND "MORE KNIGHTS Hell ( Retainers of Ak-Str-Bra Till Has Rwkri Goadly aOef bat Greater Activity U Vrge-d oa Knlghta, And when rhoebtia Apollo had drtven hi, steeda far beyond tba western limit of tha world, and tha artificers and traffickers In ware and goods bad withdrawn from the market place, behold there waa a anund of great mirth and revelry at the citadel of tba Imperial city. For therein bad gathered of tba chosen cltisens a goodly throng, wboae heart, were merry with a great gladness, and who did bomage before the mighty and Imperial master of tha world. And their rejoicing was not confined, but was the more great and up lifting because the legions had returned to the Imperial city with their arms bound In laurel, and their shields wreathed with bay. And with them they brought cap tive a horde of barbarians who had vainly resisted the puissant and masterful decree of the great Samson, whom name Is hon ored above all others but tha king, Ak-Bar-Ben VIII may his name ever be blessed and whose voice Is the voice of the mighty and reslstlers monarch of the realm. And with those captives were those who had reviled and ..contumaciously re jected the edict. These- fellows, whose thoughts are of evil and whose hearts turn to destruction, were safely confined that they might grace a Roman holiday. And with on, acclaim did the multitude 11t up Its voice when, the decree of the noble Samson was made known, that the mal contents should be put to the test. Bo It came to pass that In the arena they were given to feel of the power of the Im perial one whose will they had In their Ignorance so boldly defied. Nor did they lack In valor, but showed such mettle that with admiration were they who sur vived received to knighthood and citlx-3n-ahlp. And all of them wrought well and nobly In the arena, but did not never so well as him who is Knight Frltchett and who proved he Is a doughty knight and one well endowed by the gods with those qualities of mind and graces of body that denote one who does not willingly let go when ha has a good thing within his grasp. Prosperity Blesseth the Realai, And when the test had been made did the noble mufti announce to tho'se who were assembled about his station that to the number of mcxlvl had the knights paid the tribute of coin current In the market place, and that this number Is by greater than wera fully paid members on the same date laaVyar. When initiation ceased In 19u2 but 9-8 knights had paid up. It Is the de sire that tha full 1,600 be enrolled before September 1, and every knight is urged to contribute his efforts to this end. The an nouncement was received with much ap plause. Judge D. M. Vlnsonhaler waa called upon for a speech, but let himself off by saying that ha heartily endorsed all that the In stitution stands for, and Is always willing to aid in pushing it forward. Rev. Clifford Bnowden of Chicago quoted from that other noble Roman and preacher of twenty centuries ago, "I am a cltlzan of no mean city," and proceeded to hurl bouquets at Omaha In a gladsome pro fusion. He enthusiastically complimented t. the knights on tba order, .saying that In all his travels and all his studies he had never read of or encountered so unique and. alto- together the people and advertising the community. lie expressed his thanks to the friend who bed "Inveigled" him into Joining, and congratulated tha knlghta that they have the privilege in living in a city . where the public spirit is not deadened by the sise of tha town. Others with the Clad Mlt. C. A. Berry of Casey, la., added his en dorsement to the words of Rev. Snowden, and said he was glad he came. Frank Broad well .spoke of the unifying Influence of Ak-Sar-Ben. and the great power for good It has been in the com munity. Ed P. Smith Impressed on the visitors the fact that Ak-Sar-Ben represents the active business life of Omaha, and that the men who have made tba city what it Is are tha men who have made Ak-Sar-Ben success. Roma Miller said ha waa glad, after a long trip through the eastern and Cana dian cities, to get back to Omaha. Every tlma he goea away, ha said, he returns a better and more loyal citizen of Omaha. He spoke of two things bis recent Journey had Impressed upon him as Omaha's great est needs a good hotel and the perfection of tba boulevard and park system. The latter he urged as being a publlo duty, and aaid if it could not be aecured by taxa tion, then It ought to be by subscription. He would gladly subscribe to the end of Jiavlng the boulevard system made whole. George J. Blernsdorf said that he had heard of Ak-Sar-Ben In Boston and In San Francisco, and everywhere he went, so that ha atlll felt like a citizen of Omaha, although long aince ha had gone from here, first to Chicago and then to San Francisco. lie admitted a pride in Omaha, and urged tha knlghta to peraist In their work.

Tha season for hay fever Is almost at hand and many people feel that they will be obliged to leave town in order to avoid the sneezing, watery eye, and other an noytng symptoms of this disagreeable summer disease. Sherman McConnell wish us to an Bounce that when Hyomei ia used, either as a preventive or cure, there will be no hay fever. They advise tha use of Hyomei dslly for two or three weeks before the Usual tlma for the annual appearance of hay fever. In this wsy th, attack will be prevented. If, however, the preventive treatment waa not started soon enough and the disease comes on, us, Hyomei six or aeven times daily snd also rub Hyo mei Balm thoroughly into the nostrils both mornicg and night.

GENERAL DEMAND TOR CROSSWALKS Conacllmea tome to Meeting Loaded with Reaolatloas, All of Which Are Referred to Committee 'Wllbont Debate. While the session of the city council last night was of short duration, several com munications of Importance were read and referred to committees. On the two claims for damages on account of the grading of Q street from Twenty-third street to Twenty-fourth street. City Attorney Murdock reported that In his opinion there was no case and the report was placed on file. City Attorney Murdock reported that he now had twenty-two cases pending in tha supreme court. H. L. Cohn, assistant city attorney, through Mr. Murdock reported the cases he had disposed of In the police court and In other courts. Crosswalks seemed to be the order of the evening. Councilman Mike Smith put in a bid for about three dosen crosswalks in the southern part of the city. The mo tion was referred to the street and .allay committee. Then came Wueenan, O'Connor and Broderlck with motions for crosswalks. When the clerk finished reading all thane papers the mayor remarked that It would take more than one lumber yard to supply the material, to say nothing of the c at of laying the walks Broderlck demanded that watchmen be placed at railroad crossings, and aa this is considered important the city clerk was directed to notify all railroads passing through South Omaha to maintain watch men at grade crossings. A week ago a communication was re ferred to City Attorney Murdock regard ing the drafting of an ordinance for the laying of a two-plank walk on the north side of U street between Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets. In this connection th. attorney called the attention of the coun cil to provisions In the charter which pro hibit the laying ot wooden sidewalks on streets which have been graded. He fur ther say sthat U street is Incorporated in grading district No. IS, and therefore he declines to draw the ordinance as directed. Only permanent sidewalks can be laid In this district. A demand Is to be made of the street-car company to have two cars run on the Q street line west of Twenty-seventh street. Now there Is only one car and the service, so It is stated, is practically worthless. Just before adjournment Adklns broke In with a bunch of crosswalks he wanted laid and his motion met with the same fate as the others. Unless Mayor Koutsky calls a special meeting the council will not convene until next Monday night. Board Bays Sapplles. At the meeting of the Board of Educa tion held last night Superintendent McLean suggested that all unasslgncd teachers be ready to report for duty when the schools opened on September L Klopp & Bartlett company of Omaha were given the con tract for printing the high school bonds at 1125. The eastern bankers who bought the bonds put up a certified check for I&.0J0 as an evidence of good faith. The most Important part of tha meet ing waa the opening of bids for annual supplies to the schools. This contraot waa awarded to J. F. McReynolds, as be was the lowest bidder. Three blda were, put in, but McReynolds waa the lowest by about UO. Superintendent McLean stated that ha would need not less than three rented rooms to accommodate tha pupils in the central portion of the city. It Is under stood that arrangements for these rooms will soon be made by the buildings and grounds committee. The claim of James Blaha, amounting to C3. was referred to Bock and Murphy to settle if satisfactory arrangements could be made. The board will meet again on next Mon day night Live Stock Exchange Matters. Captain D. S. Parkhurst, president of tne south Omaha Live Stock exchange, said to a Bee reporter last night that it nugat do soma time before any action would be taken on the matter of sending out postal-card Information. President raranurst said: "To many of the mem bers of the exchange It does not appear to be practical to stop the aendlng of postal-card markets. Should thla be prohibited here, commission men could wire Lincoln and the cards could be sent from that point By sending market reports from here the shipper will get the latest ad vices. I do not think that th, local ax change will take any action In thla matter ror some time." As for telegrams, com mission dealers will be permitted to send aa many aa they please. This question of sending out market ra- porta has been brought up in the exchange a number of times, but action has always been deferred. It is inferred from the talk of President Parkhurst that th, question win do deterred Indefinitely. Sheep SelUa "Well.

A portion of the shipments were sold for Immediate slaughter, while soma wera sold for feeders. Nona wera snipped from here to other markets, as local buyers too up tha enure receipts.

Alonzo B. Cruzen, formerly of Curtis, Neb, but now collector of customs for Porto Rico, with heaJguartcrs at San Juan, Is in the city on sixty days' leave of ab sence from his post. Mrs. Cruzen and their son accompanies him. They left Porto Rico July tt and stopped enroute at Washington, New l'ork and elsewhere, and will go from here to Boise City, Idaho, and then return to Curtis for a short visit. "The business relations between Porto Rico snd the United Slates is Increasing rapidly," said Mr. Cruzen. "We now do a business of !0),0i0 per month with the United States. Our principal exportation are sugar, tobacco, coffee and oranges. The Importations are Ameritaan canned goods, agricultural machinery and agricul tural products generally. The people are beginning to take quite a fancy to Ameri can products, and the traffic is bound to grow. As an Instance of the growth of our exports. last year we shipped only 7.W of coffee from the Island, and this year we shipped already 1718,OuO. The natives are gradually assimilating American ways and in the two years that we have been there I notice a remarkable change for tha better. We have one regiment of native Porto Ricans that make good soldiers. The insular police force consists of a force of 7(1, all natives, and they are excellent officials, and maintain order through the island very readily. "Law and order prevails very satis factorily and the insular police have a com plete control of the situation. There is very little crime prevalent and the people generally are peace and order loving. School Attendance Larger. There are now S,i,(vj chllaren attending the public schools of Porto Rico, and new schcol buildings are being constantly erected, the demand for them being inces sant. The teachers are all Americans and the children learn rapidly. "Of the 1,'X',0J people of Porto Rico. ma.OuO are Catholics. I derive the author-: Ity for this statement from my friend Bishop Blenk, who was sent from New Orleans to take charge of the Catholic In terests after the American occupation. No one man in the Islands Is doing mure for the Americanizing of the people than Bishop Blenk. He Is an ardent American and loyal to the core. He is a gentleman of the highest attainments and a thorough Christian. "The stability of the Island has wonder fully increased under tne American do minion. The merchants and bankers tell me that times are infinitely better than during the Spanish occupation and that the times are constantly improving. i 'Considerable numbers of cattle are ' raised and they are ot a fine grade. We shipped 15,000 head last year to Cuba. That 1 island is our principal cattle market. "There are but two classes In Porto Rico, the rich and the poor. There is no middle class. But the Increasing education of the people will raise up that essential middle class, that is so much needed for the per fect development of the country. "The poor classes subsist almost entirely upon bananas, mangoes, oranges and pine apples, which thrive there luxuriantly. "There is but little intoxication in the country. The favorite tipple Is rum, though the American products of Milwaukee and St. Louis known as Schlits and Anheuser Busch are becoming popular. "The Island has a great future before It, and with the wenign Influence of Amer ican occupation it will In time become the most valuable of our Insular possessions."

DON'T GET IN A SWEAT Perspiration "sweat" is what the Bible and we common peo ple call it is a way nature has of driving out of the body refuse that has no business there. We sweat more in summer, because, in the overheated bowels, undigested food ferments more quickly than in winter and produces irritating acids and gases. The bowels, overworked, try to relieve themselves by violent convulsions, causing terrible gripes and colics, and diarrhoeal discharges so acid as to make you sore, and leaving the intestines weak and worn out. Nature assists body-cleaning by sending the filth out through the pores of the skin. It is not sate to stop perspiring altogether but most of the impure matter should be sent out by natural move-, ments of the bowels, and the offensiye, ill-smelling, linen-staining sweat done away with. Keep your bowels strong all summer with the pleasant, candy cathartic CASCARETS, that clean the system and don't allow the excrement to be sweated out through the pores. Take a tablet every night, before going to bed. They work while you sleep and make you feel fine and cool all day. irTr-l?WL. 2 . w v a t n w CO., Wholesale Dealers and S'atc Afents. OMAHA.

The mountaineers of Appalachian America are the descendA ants of colonials, not to b? c infuse 1 with poor whites. They were southerners who owned land, but not slaves, and who were loyal to the flair In the ti-.il w ir "The feud area,'" he added, "has been greatly contracted In recent timos, though many killings caused by whl-ky or sudden anger are classed by newspapers with feid murders. The case In Breathitt county Is a political one, an outbreak unusual and not to be classed with ordinary feuds. As the death of Hamilton was the occasion of a gre.it sermon by pr. Knott, which practically ended the duel In America, so we m y hope the storm of opposition arou-ed by the death of Murcum mav bring us near the end of political assassinations in Ken tucky."

K).-tAttoraey General Knox will come to visit the presi dent tomorrow. He will lunch at Sagamore Hill and probably remain with the presi dent most of the day. The president de sires te go over with him certain mitten now pending In the Department of Justice, including that phase of the Littauer-Lyon Glove contract case that was referred to his attention. The attention of the president was this evening directed to a circumstantial state ment published this afternoon that Sec retary Root expected soon to retire from the cabinet, to be succeeded by Governor Taft of the Philippines. It can be said that there is no definite foundation for the story. The president since the first inti mation, many months ago, of Secretary Root's retirement has hoped and still hopes he will remain in the cabinet for a long time yet. He believes the secretary cer tainly will remain through the coming winter and probably a much longer time. 10i30 A. M., Bilil P. M., lO P.
