DRIVERS MUST PASS AN EXAMINATION Board to nrtrrmli tnallllent lens aod ritnens of (kiitrin aad sec tions Providing for snood Within the City. The councilman bars decided to pass the new automobile ordinance tonight. It pro vides that every driver of a machine shall jxmivM a oertincate showing that he has passed a regular examination by a per manent board created for the purpose, and places very stringent regulation over the aimed and use of the bormleaa carriages. Councilman Hunting-ton supplemented the ordinance by gaining the assent of the other councllmen to a clause which makes It obligatory for every driver to atop and Investigate whenever his car atrlkea a person or vehicle In the street. The other provisions are about the same aa previously outlined In The "Dee. For ward and rear llg-hts are required, number ing In plain white letters five inchea high on the rear, where a red lamp must shine backwarda and a white lamp Illuminate the number. All machines must be equipped with brakes: of sufficient strength to enable a complete stop within ten feet. Makeup of Examining Board. The examining board is to consist of the city electrician, who la chairman, boiler inspector and chief of police. It will meet In the office, of the electrician and hold tx ami nations an the first and third Mondays of every month, Examinations will be aa to the "ability, mental qualifications and sufficient knowledge of mcuhanism," and the board la allowed to formulate Its own rules and regulations. Upon passing successful examination the applicant la granted a certificate which he presents to the city clerk after depositing tl with the treasurer. The clerk thereupon will issue a "license to act aa .an operator of au tomobiles," which expires at the end of a year, but whloh may be renewed without another examination. Uoenoea may be revoked for intern per anoe, carelessness or violation of any terms of the ordinance, but none shall be re voked permanently without a hearing of the bolder before the board. The mem bers of the latter are to receive no pay other than they receive at present for the positions they bold. . seed 'Resralatloas. The speed In the district bounded by Xjeavenworth, Twentieth and laard must not exceed six miles an hour, and outside not more than eight. All machines must be equipped with either gong, alarm bell or horn, to be sounded as a warning at street crossings and other places when necessary. Throughout the ordinance Is modeled after that In vogue In Chicago. There Is little doubt but that It will be passed by the council.

RAIN FLOODS THE STREETS Dtwipnr Proves, a Little Too Haek - for -4 he Cate Basins, Bt Does Little Diat. Very little damage waa reported last night as a result of the storm. A washout under the grocery store on the southwest corner of Seventeenth and Howard street! for a time threatened to wreck the build ing. There is still some danger of a caveln unless the damage is repaired at one. The store Is built over an old creek bed which the water got Into and washed out a large bole. Lightning struck the flag staff on the Bachelors' hotel on Farnam street. Sev eral of the guests who were standing about the radiators were slightly shocked, but no particular damage resulted. A bolt also struck the cupola on a building at Twenty- fourth and Cuming streets. The damage waa alight. During the hoariest part of the downpour Sixteenth street north of Capitol avenue resembled a river. Boxes, tin cans and other debris wore floated along on the flood which almost reached the top of the curb ing. The flood did not seem to bo due to the cloj-glng of Bowers, but there was auch a faU of water that It Blmply fillod the street. Firemen were called to the residence of Loula Buerger at Twenty-ninth avenue and Charles street during the storm to quench a blase started by the explosion of a kero sene lamp. Mrs, Buerger sent to th gro cery store for some oil with which to fill the lamp and the gToceryman by mistake filled the can with graaollne. When a match was applied to the wick tha room resembled a Fourth of July celebration for a few minutes. When the hose carta arrived on the scene the fire had been ex tinguished by Uie occupants. Very small damagw resulted. The Dodge street car 11 n was put out of business about forty minutes, due to the water on North Twentieth street.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED KNIGHTS K,B" Ah.-er-Bea llBhrn a Goodly Retlaae vTlthln His Castle Walls at Present. It takes more than a little rainstorm uch as visited Omaha last evening, tnter- iwring with strnet car traffic and pltiyltig hob generally, to dampen the ardor of Knights of Ak-8ar-Ben. It Is true that a few hundred of them were somewhat late in arriving, and that some did not arrive, but there was a sufficient number at the den, and then some, to Tniki a llvi.lv evening. An Invitation from Council Bluffs to the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and through them to all of Omaha, to attend the street fair and carnival, which will be held in that city September 7 to 12, waa received with applause and unanimously accepted. Then there was more applause, for the grand mufti announced that the total paid membership Is now 1,319, coupling the an nouncement with the fact that the number must reach 1,100 within the next three weeks. During the early part of the evening the regular lessons In Roman history were Im parted with all due solemnity to the large class of candidates, many of whom de clared that the brilliant electrical display outside was not to lie compared with the gorgeousneaa within the den. The usual program of short talks was dispensed with to give plaoe to the geese and duck race, which was pulled off on schedule time and with a maaterly control of foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. The timekeepers were Billy" Glass and 'Jim" Martin, and the team which lined up under Captain Lucas was composed of Dr. Foote, W. H. T. Belt, Robert Cowell. Dr. B. W. Christie. Fleming and Floyd Campbell. Captain O'Brien, who had the ducks, had for hla team Messrs. BaldufC, Busoh, Jensen, Hodgln, Huff and Dr. Lord. Promptly on the crack of the pistol the two teams, with their feathered raoers, started, and the enthusiasm which broke loose shortly thereafter cracked a number of panes of glass in the skylight. At the conclusion or the race. In the remarkable time of 7:64, Dr. Foote was awarded first. Dr. Lord second. R. F. Hodgln third, and Floyd Campbell fourth prise. Another special feature is already being prepared for next Monday night, which will be announced in a few days. Visitors from Nebraska cities were: F. A. Schulty, Scribner; Frank Ball.

"COKE" FiENDS BEAT THE LAW Soothing; Drag Is Obtain la Balk by Those Addicted to Its Is. Clubs to facilitate supplying the members with cocaine have been formed In the Third ward Bine the passage of the ordinance forbidding the sale of the drug except on a fresh prescription from a physician every time It Is issued. Thla 1b what Pres ident Zlmman of the council says has taken piace. The organliatlonB of the "fiends" make up a purs of a few dollars and dis patch th most trustworthy member to Council Bluffs or Bouth Omalia to pur chase a quantity of the dreamstuff. Or in pinch a dollar la contributed to an Omaha physician and a huge order filled. According to Mr. Zlmman, there are many bona fide chronic invalids In this city who demand th drug as a necessity to banish pain. Zlmman introduced an ordin ance a few weeks ago which sought to modify the former law, by making It possi ble for a person to get a certificate from th city health commissioner that the state of the holder' health depended upon the drug. Thus armed, an Individual need not resort continually to a phyalclan every time a supply of the drug waB needed. The ordinance was brought up for consideration yesterday afternoon and It waa decided to pass it after making an amendment author izing any reputable physician to issue auch a certificate. Not the least sensational feature of the discussion was th confession of on of the councllmen that formerly he was a cocaine fiend and uaod an ounce of the poison in dry form every twenty-four hours. He re lated an experience In Chicago where he tried to obtain the drug In nearly fifty drug stores and failed, aa Its sale waa for bidden. "I thought I had to hav It, but found out later that I didnX" he said. "I be llev that In most oases th Imagination Is th most potent force that worka against a our of th habit." By th action taken yesterday afternoon U was agreed that the prohibitions of the .former ordinance ar practically nullified, save that a person can no longer go Into a drug stor without a certificate and buy a few cents' worth of cocaine.

NEW WAY TO TREAT HAY FEVER Ke Stomach Doalaa Jast Breathe Hy- emet stops tsaetlsg aad laartlag. Sherman A McConnell are recommending to their customers, as a cure for hay fever, Hyomel. It Is claimed for this remedy that It stops the spasmodic paroxysms of snees lng, tbe smarting and running of th eyes and nose, and other acute symptoms of this disease. Many persons have been cured of hay fever by Hyomel and its inventors profess to b able to prevent both tbe occurrence of the annual attacks and to arrest the progress of the disease wben In the most chronic form. Among those who hsve been cured by Hyomel are J. F. Forbes, chief dispatcher B. st M. R. R.. McCook. Neb., who writes: "I have never had relief from any remedy for hay fever even temporarily, until I used Hyomel. I wl'J always recommend It whenever occasion offers." A. Hamlin. Westford. Mass., writes, "Hyomel cured roe of hay fever In one week's time. I consider It a duty to tell others who suffer from this disease " These endorsements are samples of hun dreds that hav been received by the man ufacturers of Hyomel, but Sherman A MeOonnell's offer to refjrd the money If Hyomel dors not do all that is claimed for it, is the strongest proof that can be of fered as to the reliance they place upon Hyomel to cur hay f WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY If all the reports that art (coating about are true, the coming annual meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs will be an interesting gathering from another than a club standpoint. Ac cording to certain women from out in the stats the boom in opposition to Mrs. Page for a second term aa state president, which was said to have started at Fremont, la not going to hang together. Among the members of the Fremont club are num bered aome of Mrs. Page's strongest sup porters who are sufficiently strong to over ride even the women who started the cp posltlon and they have announced that they will recognise no other candidate than Mrs. Page. Such support from the hostess' town will have much Influence with the convention. In a recent lecture at the Vnlverslty of Chicago on "The Making of a City." Prof. Charles Zeublln Bald: "The term 'munlcl- ... wiAtirtattnn from tan ttiitnnrltv re mendstlon from an authority recognised by Chicago university should be duly appre ciated by club women, though It Is hy i:o means a revelation to them. Results are not the only things that hove leen accom plished by the city Improvement commit- tees, and It is safe to say that from these committees might be chosen supervisors of .. , ,,,,. uch work who ould not only accom- pllsh as much as the men ao, nut ao n at leas cxjenae. This has been repeatedly demonstrated where clubs have undertaken auch work. The passBge of a bill In Georgia making It a penal offense for an able-bodied parent to live In idleness, supported by minor cr,narein .promises to reveal much that will ., , ..,,, prove the Inconsistency of that opposition to the club women's child labor bill, that hlbltln chn1 labor wou)a worit great . , hardship to many dependent parents. Een B feeble attempt to enforce such a law, the c)ub vnmm urr confident, will bring out the otrongest proof of the necessity of their proposed law and they feel greatly encouraged. Notwithstanding the assertion that this Is a woman's age. and it doubtless Is by comparison, we have yet a long way to go before we find our millenlum," says the i rnlon Signal. "In the great Christian En deavor society, which claims over 4,000.000 . . w-. ... or..I1ition In everv ----- country on the globe, women, young and old, form two-thirds of this mighty host; but they have r.o official voice in the ad ministration of its affairs. In fact, the sex Is scarcely recognized in the roll of nearly 150 trustees representing the vari ous rhurrres snd organizations of which It is composed. " In commenting upon the above the New Tork Evening Post shvs: "The tenacity with which the greet body of Christian congregations cling to the Paul ine admonition, 'Iet your women keep j silence in the rhurch't.' and the rest of he famous pp!tle --ninds one of the question niVed In n . -rtain witty club paper, TV' It that nothing that could be uttered a sflnster on the manage ment of a husband, no matter how wise or how learned the spinster might be, would ever command serious attention, while the dictates oT a confirmed bachelor who lived nearly S.O years ago In a civil ization different In" Yearly evory particu lar, from our own, towtill made the stand ard of excellence ' wives?"

April IT. was heard before Judge Mcpherson of Iowa yesterday morning in the federal circuit court. The case was originally tried tefore Judge McPherBon. Attorney Marfarland, who defended Llnnler during the trial made a plea for a new trail, holding that the verdict of unjustified homlelde was not justified in view to the extreme provocation for th killing, and that the crime should b reduced to the grade of manslaughter, and that a new trial should be granted beeaus of the evident prejudice of tbe Jury, when 1t fixed the penalty at life lmprta onment. Assistant United States District Attorney Rush, who prosecuted In the original trail, argued gamet the motion for grsntlng s new trial.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Attortfy Kurrhj Daecpi Qner Eiats of Afun Amo.'c Folio. NO OFFICIAL BONDS FOR OfFICtRS On FILE Arrest of a Man for Kot Pnylat; Prooer Hrapert to rollresaaa Lends to osse Interest Ioa; Lieelosnres, Attorney Henry C. Murphy yesterday afternoon made a demand upon Ieputy City Clerk Frank Burnetta for the bond of J. Small, a police officer of South Omaha, but waa Informed that no bond had been filed by that officer. An investigation re vealed the further fact that none of the police now on duty in South Omalia have filed official bonds with the city clerk, and ao far as that official knows, no bonds had been filed by the policemen. The trouble arose on August 1G, when Officer Small arrested Marun Spoetier, a stock yards employe, charging him with speaking in a disrespeclf ul manner to the officer while he was on duty. Spoetier waa forced to give a bond before he waa re leased from custody, and when the matter came up In the police court the following day, Assistant City Attorney H L Cohn openly condemned the arrest and stiioJ j that he knew of no law which Mr. Spoetier had violated In speaking in the way he haj to the officer. Later In the day Mr. Colin roads must disinfect all cars hauling sheep drew up a oomplaint and tendered It to j which have beer exposed to contagious dls Offlcer Small but the officer refused to eases. At first the railroads objected to sign It, saying that he desired to see an- ' tnl latter order, but now they are falling other attorney before doing so. Mr. Cohn ! then tore up the complaint and Bald be would draft ro other. A complaint was filed yesterday, a.gned and sworn to by Bmijl. This was done after Mr. Murphy had made his search for the bond of the arresting officer. The case has been Bet for Wednesday after noon. The police are suid to have signified their willingness to drop the case If Spoet ier will give to Officer Small a receipt for any damages he may have sustained by reason of the arrest. Spoetier refused to do this, saying be had violated no law and is perfectly willing to stand trial. It la said that Officer Small made the arrest on account of some Blighting re mark supposed to have been directed to him by one of a group of men who had congregsted on a platform at the aide of the chutehouse at the yards. Small waa pussing on the other side of the street and after walking over and demanding to . . . . . , . , know who made the remark, or Bom equally Intelligent Information, wns told to go on with police work In other parts - , i. ... ; ox me cn.v. An pwin as uie eLit-.a ,t a: us officials learned of Spoetler'B arrest they went to the police station and furnished the bond thst had been demanded of him. The fact that no bonds have been fllsd by the police caused much comment laat evening, and after the council meeting the matter was freely dlcussed by councllmen and citizens. It Is stated that the bonds, If any have been filed, are in the custody of A. L. Bergqulst. whose place of bual nesp Is at 53 North Twenty-fourth stiwet. Bouth Omaha. AII nieetrlo Lights Ont. Laat right's storm played havoc with the electric light company. All of the incan descent lights In the city were put out by a stroke, of lightning snd only one circuit of street arc lampa burned. Vp to mid night the trouble could not be located, but men were at work all night trying to find the aeat of the trouble.

FIGHT OVER NEW MARKET Grocer Threaten to Resist Removal from tbe Old Station, as Or dered by Conncll. The council In general committee decided yesterday afternoon to send Councllmen O'Brien, Dyball and Zlmman to the Board of Fire and Police commissioners with the request that retail market gardening be stopped everywhere on the streets except at the new Capital avenue market house. This would be In accordance with ordinances long since passed. Before the action was taken Robert Strlth spoke on behalf of the men In terested in the Howard street private mar ket and intimated that if the law Is en forced there will be another fusillade of injunctions that won't do business in the new stand any good. The council semed disposed to take up the gauntlet that Mr. . Smith threw down and made the necoseary preparations. Chairman Rosewater of the Board of Public Works, put the matter before the council. He said: "If you expect me to sell stalls in the Capitol avenue market bouse you must enforce the law and show that you Intend to be honest with these men and protect them. Tou have Invested the city's money, 120,000 of it in the Capitol avenue market house and the question now Is whether you ahull abandon the place and con'ese It Is a failure, or prevent men from doing a similar business In the com mission district on the streets." Mr. Smith aald the grocers wanted as a matter of convenience to buy their fruit and vegetables In the same market If pos sible, which must necessarily be 1n the commission district. He admitted that the market as now conducted does a retail as well as wholesale business and that street space Is rented and charged for ad- joining the lot leased for the wholesale , .... . . market. He said the grocer proposed to test the law. President Zlmman expressed the opin ion that the eourta would not allow cor porations or Individuals to rent street j space for business of any kind, and that the municipality r.s the arbiter of lt own street space, ran designate when and where th. thoroughfare, may be used If at all. PLANS FOR MACADAM PAVING City Ensrlneer Agrees to Sabnmlt the Sperlnentlon la Aerordnaoe. with O'Brien's Idea. At the Insistence of Councilman O'Brien. City Engineer Rosewater agreed yesterday afternoon to draw speclflcatlona for eignt lnch macadam paving, with the mainte nance and sprinkling clausea left out.

Sev eral years ago, the writer of this, who has spent much of his life iu the tropics, thought he was safe from sunstroke. One day he collapsed, remained uncon scious for five hours, and at times his life was dif paired of. As a matter of fact. iny person whose stomach and bowels are in bad shape in the summer time, is iable to be sunstruck in temperature that would be- harmless under normal conditions. That's all there is to it. Stomach and bowels full of festering, fermenting refuse that forms acids and gases, raise the heat of the body and blood many degrees. Scientists have found that natives of the South Sea Islands, living on laxative fruit, bananas, cocoanuts, bread-fruit, have a temperature 20 degrees lower than that of white men who are careless about fheir food or their bowels. It has been found in years of experience, that a CASCARKT Candy Cathartic taken at bed-time every night will ke ep the body clean and cool inside all day, and forms a safe and thoroughly reliable form of sunstroke insurance. - Best lor th Bowel.

A great deal of talk, but no coin.. ...ma characterised the conference of the council with General Manager Smith of the Omaha Council Bluffa Street RailWuy com pany yesterday afternoon. General Man ager Pmlth had been summoned to appear "to make arrangements for settling with the city for paving torn out along th tricks and not replaced." He had no de sire to propose a settlement of any kind. because, he declared repeatedly, the oor- poratlon had always left the streets In better condition than it found them. A compilation of Assistant City Engineer Craig showed thst the traction company haa disturbed 1.1.62 square yards of asphalt outside and adjoining tracks, but had not repluced the material. Thla Is exclusive of street intersections, which It Is thought will amount to about 1.P00 yards more. President Zlmman, who conducted most vt the Inquiry directed at Manager Smith, used the figures In this statement repeat edly. He said the council was determined to make the street railway company pay Its share In repairing the streets. En gineer Rosewater, who waa present, esti mated the cost of repairs at about 11.10 a yard. Ko Desire Bat to Be Fair. "With one or two exceptions we ha always left the paving in better condltlv thin we found it," said Mr. Smith. "Ws have no desire other than to be fair. Ws bsve found th asphalt rotted away out side the rails. There was no asphalt t replace, so we filled the space with cement and stone. I admit that a stretch on Cap itol avenue was not properly taken car of through aeglect t our part' He had a lot to say about the corpora tion paying more taxes In proportion to Its value than any other street railway h the Vnlled States; the great good the com pany is dolr.g for the town: Its desire to always do the right thing, but he declined to name any figure that the company would contribute to street repairs. "I could not make any auch recommenda tion to my people because we have not damaged your streets Si outside of Capitol avenue," he said. "Neither can I say when the unuRert tracks ordered '.om up by reso lution will be removed. It win be done as soon as possible. We are planning to put heavier rails find new care on th Dodge etreet line next year, and expeot to remove aome of the old tracks then." T.lmmna end Smith Hltrh. The general manager and President man flatly contradicted each other on many points concerning what Uie railway has done to the streets. In the course of th colloquy Mr. Smith let It b known that one of the reasons why old tracks are not torn up Is the cost that will follow to put the paving in good condition. "Whenever a councilman has com to m and asked me to do a thing I hav always tried to do It," said Mr. Smith. "Tea, they come to you. That's ths trouble," suld Zlmman. "But you ' don't see me coming to you." responded Zlmman. "I don't see why you have hsve It In s hard for ths street car company. Harry. said Mr. Smith. "You have the wrrona' Idea. We always try to do what is fair. A sx ii w n uui a wtr., i jjiihu LalU k-M dm dent. "The councllmen when they looked at your tracks last spring didn't think so either." It was past 6 o'clock whnn the talk stopped and the conferees left ths city hall. Robert Emmet Meeting.
