CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
President Zimmta and Clark Elbonrn . in
War of Word
IS OVER GAS CONTRACT RESOLUTION
Elassaaa Deellaea ta alga It Beeaaae It
Waa Seat ta tha Mayor far
His Igaatarr.
Flret.
President Zlmmsn was called upon by
tha council Tuesday night to explain why lie
had not signed the resolution passed Octo
ber 2, extending the contract with tha
Omaha Oaa company. The president com
plied, making statements concerning the
alleged Improper handling of the docu
ment by City Clerk Elbourn and In the de
bate that followed personalities of a lively
nature were exchanged. In the end the
council ordered the resolution, and the Jour
nal approved the president, kept his word
In saying that ha would not sign the reso
lution. Just after the gavel called the council
to order Clerk Elbourn said he had an an
nouncement to make and stated that tha
president had refused to sign the docu
ments which he had at hand. Councilman
Back Immediately called for an explana
tion from the president and Councilman
Evans did likewise. 7.!mman replied that
he would reply tn the regular order of bual
neea, but that communications from the
mayor first must be received and disposed
of. Evans was Inclined to press the point,
but gave way..
Klaasaaa Makes Ksplaaatlaa.
In accordance with his promise Zimman
called Vice President Nicholson to the
chair and, descending to the floor, ssld:
'Since I have been a member of the city
council it haa been a rule In the city clerk's
office to permit no official documents to be
taken from the office. It haa been my cus
tom on Wednesday mornings to go Into
the clerk's office about 10 o'clock and sign
the resolutions and other documents wait
ing my signature,.
"The morning after the meeting referred
to I went Into the office as usual. Mr. El
bourn submitted all the documents to me
except the one relating to the gas contract.
1 asked him for It and he replied that it
was with the mayor. I asked him when he
got It and when the mayor signed It and
the reply waa that the mayor had signed
It that morning or had called for It that
morning, or words to this effect. I re
marked that It waa strange the resolution
should be forwarded to the mayor without
my signature. In the evening papera I
read that the mayor had afgned the reso
lution In bed the night before.
"I had no means of knowing whether or
not the resolution had been tampered with
or altered. No copies were made tn the
clerk's office before It wss sent out In the
hands of Mr. Klerstesd, who Is not a city
employe or officer. The action was con
trary to the mlea of the office and con
trary to precedent and I decline to sign
the document because It was handled
through an Irregular channel. I make no
chargea that It has been tampered with,
hut for the reasons I have given I think I
am under no obligations to sign It."
(ttataaaeats Nat Dlspated.
Councilman Evana asked If Zlmman could
prove his statements and the latter re
plied he thought his statements were not
disputed, and Back remarked that the oc
currence wss two months old and it Vfaa
the duty of tha president to notify the
council Immediately If there were irregu
larities, . . A .. . ;
City Clerk ttlbourn ssld: ' Ths state
ment that '.here were no copies of the reao
lutlon mude before it left my office la not
correct. Three copies were made and they
read the same aa that received back from
tho mayor. The law requires me to place
all documents for his signature tn the hands
of the mayor within forty-eight hours after
action haa been taken by the council. The
statutes nor the ordinances do not define
how I shall transmit these documents. It
may be by automobile, bicycle or person,
and meanwhile I am responsible under a
$6,000 bond. If Mr. Zlmman thought there
was snythtng wrong he Is mistaken."
Elansaaa Grows Dramatic.
Zlmman, to strengthen his case that he
did not know what changes or a iterations
were mtde to tha resolution, attacked the
statement of Clerk Elbourn that he made
tm morning after the council meeting con
cerning the time the resolution waa sent
to the mayor. He said In the light of
statements made later that the clerk had
told him a falsehood. Elbourn replied that
It made little difference as to the exact
time. At this point Zlmman pointed to a
newspaper reporter present and said: "This
young man waa present and heard the con
versation. I arranged purposely so that he
should. Now If he will deny my state
ments I will apologise to Mr. Elbourn and
sign the resolution."
What tha Reporter Heard.
Excitement In the council chamber was
rather high at thla time nd It waa a bet
ting proposition whether or not the two
officers would settle the difference without
gloves. Acting President Nicholson and
the council Insisted upon hearing from the
reporter, who said:
'I was present at the conversation re
ferred to, although I did not know that
I waa acting In the capacity of a wltnesa.
Mr. Zlmman asked the clerk what had
become of the gas resolution snd Elbourn
replied it had gone to the mayor. He said
first that the mayor had asked for it the
night before and later corrected hla state
ment to the effect that the mayor requested
It that morning."
This testimony, for some reason, appeared
to cast oil on the waters and hostilities
ceased. Elbourn and Zlmman both looklrt
pleased. The council then approved tie
documents and Zlmman resumed the rfralr.

OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
In the schools perhaps more thsn any
place else this week Thanksgiving has fur
nished the theme that Is uppermost. In
their language work the children have
written about It. The story of the Pilgrims
has been told and read over and over again
In all the grades.' The colonists in their
quaint dress, the turkey hunt, the church
going and the winter woods have furnished
the subject for blackboard, 'pencil and
water color work, while In many - rooms
Wednesday afternoon Is given over to
Thanksgiving programs. In all of the
schools there hss been the Thanksgiving
offering tooths less fortunate of the city
and scores of baskets of food and clothing
will be made up from the contributions of
the school children.
The various rooms of Mason school are
this afternoon giving an entertainment that
Is not only enjoyable to the visitors, but
very Instructive as well. It Is called a
progressive musical e. Beginning with the
pupils of the first grade the guests will be
shown the progress of musto from one
grade to another up through the eighth
grade. Mason school has fourteen rooms
and. each will contribute ita step In this
muslcale. To one unfamiliar with the sys
tem taught In the city schools tho muslcale
must be Interesting as well as Instructive,
and to all It Is enjoyable. In addition to
the progress In the music the same excur
sion over the building will be Improved to
show the progress In the drawing work.
Some especially good specimens have been
prepared and these have been u-ranged for
Inspection. The color work at Mason Is par
ticularly good and this will also be shown.
The plsn of the parents and visitors
progressing from one room to another Is
new In, Omaha and might be profitably
adopted In Cher buildings.
Some large framed relief maps of tha
United States are being distributed among
the various buildings, and while instruc
tion for their use has not yet been received
by the teachers, so far there Is a wide dif
ference of opinion regarding their practica
bility &mong the principals. The chief
fault Is that the surface being
glased, cannot be seen to distin
guish tho divisions at any distance,
thus rendering the map useless only at
close range, which will be extremely In
convenient in a school room. Other teach
ers complain that the relief is not In good
proportion and will give false Ideas that
will be harmful. Still others, however,
think they will prove helpful In the lower
grades, aside from the Inconvenience of
being unable to seo tha divisions at any
distance.
Central school. In Its upper grades, has a
substitute for the mid-session wcese,
both morning and afternoon, that Is most
refreshing to the pupils and a very enter
taining exercise to visitors that happen to
be In the building. At 10:30 In the morn
ing and 3:30 tn the afternoon the windows
of the upper floor rooms are raised, tho
doors Into the halls thrown open and to the
music of a piano all of the pupils take
calesthenlo exercises In unburn. The ex
ercise lasts about five ' minutes, -during
which the air is changed, the pupils re
freshed and all put In better condition for
the remainder of the session.

WORK AMONG THE CHILDREN
What ths Child Saving Institute Hn Cone
During tb Ttar.
STEADY GROWTH Of INSTITUTION NOTED
Aaaaal Report Jast Made Is Shows
Isereais la Xaatber of Cases
Tared for aad Seed
ef Moaey.
The sixth annual report of the ChllJ
Saving Institute has been printed, and
gives a full account of the work done dur
ing the past year and suggests ways In
which the usefulness of the. Institution may
bo Increased In the future. The report
shows that the Institute has cared for a
larger number of children during the year
than ever before, that hi S8 as against 24t
foe last yesr. 204 before that and for the
year preceding that only 190. The Insti
tution has enjoyed a stsady growth since
Its beginning, and the building which it
hss now occupied for no very long time, Is
already getting too amail. With the growth
of the work has come a steady Increase in
expenses, and as there is no endowment
and the Institute defends entirely upon
gifts from the public It has been a grdwing
difficulty to find the money.
The report cf Treasurer C. W. Lyman
shows that during the year ending Octo
ber SL 10,i737 was received and $9,&!6.
was expended, leaving a balance on hand
of 4t.89. As the report shows 1924.79 on
hand at the beginning of the year, the
finances are practically where they were
at that time. The largest donationa wero
during the months of November, December
and January, which ail ran over $1,001.
February was the poorest month with only
$414.28 taken in. The expenses for Decem
ber and September were the greatest, run
ning over ll.OuO and June with M20.39 saw
the least expenditure.
Chlldrea Cared Far,
The report of children who have beert
cared for shows that there were 87 on
hand November 1, 1902, that 2"7 were re
ceived during the year and that 44 were
readmitted, muklng a total of SfH. Of these
123 ' were provided with homes, 109 were
restored to parents, 14 under six months
of age died, and. three older children also
died. One large boy left the Institute with
out permistlon and 38 children were left In
the Institution at ths close of the year.
The superintendent reports that 4S6 homes
were visited and cases Investigated. . The
correspondence necessitated the writing of
2,146 letters and 26,387 miles were travelled.
The report of the nursery Committee
shows the work done in that deportment
and the money received and expended. A
quarantine during the winter added greatly
to the difficulties. The building has been
newly painted inside and the walls finished
In a sanitary manner. Special mention Is
made of the training school for nurses, the
Institute now furnishing trained - nurses
for outside work. The total collected by
the nursery committee was fl, 141.04 and
the total expenditures were 1891.07. The
committee consists of Mesdames Edgar Al

mong other things thcreport says:
During the last year, nulte a number of
children have been rescued from ill treat
ment and from immoral surroundings
conditions which were far worse than sim
ple neglect, destitution or homelessness. In
doing this, we have tried to exercise great
caution in the matter of breaking up fami
ne it naa been our rurpose in all cases
where It Is possible, to keep patents and
children together.
It will be seen that quite a number have
been returned to us and replaced. It ha
been found by experience that children do
not always atay plaoed. After a few
months of trial, in many cases It develops
that those who take them do not love them
as they should, and In aome cases the chil
dren do not love the people; and in order
to Ind congeniality and affinity, it ia some
times necessary to try certain children in
two or three different homes until the
more perfect relationship ran be found.
The institute undertakes to look after the
children, and to exercise a careful watch
care over them after placing them In
homes.

A Nov York Hillionairo Qffors a Foriuno
for a Stomach Which Will
Digost His Food.

The fact that money clone cannot give
happiness was never more fully illustrated
than In the case cf the famous New York
millionaire vho offered a fortune to any
one who wouid cure him of dyspepsia with
out harsh, unpleasant dieting.
The American people live too high. They
suffer the tortures of dyspepsia rather than
eat plaint, simple food and abandon di
gestion- racking drinks.
Two and a half millions of dollars la a.
high price to pay for a dyspepsia cJre. yet
the great American public set the stamp
of their approval upon Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets by paying more than this amount
of money for them during the past year.
These tablets absolutely lure any stake
of dyspepsia by relieving the overworked
stomach and Intestines of the burden of
digestion and ilowlng them to recupcmle
naturally and without the artificial and
harmful stimulus given by drug compounds
and so-called tonics which in reality de
pend upon alcohol for their efficiency and
In tho end Co far more harm than Kood.
A true tonic is something which will re
new, replenish, build up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues of the
body; something that will enrich the blood
and endow It with the proper proportions
or red and white corpuscles which prevent
or destroy dlseaaa germa. sThis ki what a
rti ionic snouia aa ana no orug or alco
holic stimulant WILL do It.
The on!y true tonic In nature Is whole
some food, thoroughly digested. Every
particle of nervous energy, every minute
muscle, fiber and drop of blood Is created
daily from the food we digest.
The mere eating of food has little to do
with the repair of waste tissue, but the
perfect digestion of the food eaten hus
EVERYTHING to do With It.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion Is because from wrong habits of
living the stomach has gradually lost the
power to secrete the gastric Juice, peptones
and acids in sufficient quantity.
To cure Indigestion and stomach troubles
it is necessary to take after meals some
harmless preparation which will supply
the natural peptone and dlastesa which
every weak stomach lacks, and probably
the best preparation of this character Is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found in every drug store and which con
tain In pleasant, palatable form the whole
some epton snd dlastese which nature
requires for prompt digestion.
One or two .of these excellent tuhlets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and aridity and Insure com
plete digestion and assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for Utt'e children as for adults, as
they contain nothing harmful or stimulat
ing, but only the natural digestives.
One Qf Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1,800 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are tn every
sens a genuine tonlo because they bring
about tn ths only natural way a restora
tlve of perve power, a building up of lost
tissue and appetite. In the only way It can
be done BT THE DIGESTION AND AS
SIMILATION OF WHOLESOME FOOD.
When tho stomach won't work the whole
body suffers, aa every tlstude or structure
of the body depend on the stomach for
nourishment and renewal.-
If the stomach Is weak, inactive and un
able to properly digest food It Dot only
subjects the body to a state of chronic
semi-starvation or habitually half-fed con
dition that weakena it and renders It less
productive of accomplishment and less re
sistant to disease, but It allow of the ab
sorption of half-digested, rotting material
that laV positive poison to It ami taxes
the elimlnatlve organs to expel it from the
body. Thus it will be seen that the Incon
venience and distress, the dlstjrbed rest.
the horrors of Insomnia, and the dreadful
capricea of nightmare, are the moat Insig

A resolution recommending to the Cen
tral Improvement club that everyone who
has an Interest In the welfare of the city
be admitted to membership in that organi
sation waa Unanimously adopted.
Prof. J. C. Bhattuck tendered the services
of his orchestra to furnish music for the

next meeting and enjoy the music was

Tha resolution was adopted unanimously

nificant part of indigestion and that re a.
danger lurks behind the condition. '
Few people seem to reatlse the danger
of weak, defective and disordered digestion
Health reports do not give It as a cause ol
death because some other disease sets Ir.
to work destructive changes, only mad
possible by the Imperfect digestion, anc
the death la accredited to them.
There are many medicines on the market
Intended to correct und Improve perverted
or Impaired digestion, but none are so safe,
so economical, so convenient, so effective,
so satisfactory, so popular as are Stuurt's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Whether the dyspepsia
is of long standing or only a case of tem
porary Indigestion, they give prompt and
pronounced relief. Their regular us for a
time will cure all forms of gastric Insuffi
ciency so that "good digestion will wait on
appetite and health on both."
By promoting perfect digestion a'.l tissues
ai'd structures are better fed and take on
healthful activity ; the blood becomes rich,
the fiet-h sound and firm, the nerves strong,
the eyes bright, the skin clear, the mind
alert and cheerful, and one begins to feel
the lust of life the Joy of mere living.
Mr. Thomas Seale, Mayfleld, Cal.', says:
"Have usod and recommended Stuart's
Tablets because there Is nothing like them
to keep the fftomach right."' (
Mr. 15. II. Davis of Hampton. Va., says:
"I doctored five years for dyspepsia, tut In
two months I got more benefit from
Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets than In five
years of doctor's treatment."
Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich., says: "Your
dyspepsia cure has worked winders 5n my
cawe. I suffered for years from dyspepsia,
but am now entirely cured and anjoy life
as I never have before. I gludly recom
mend them."
Mrs. LydU Hart ram of Assyria, Mich.,
writes: "1 have buffered from stomach
trouble for 10 years and five different doc
tors gave me only temporary relief. A Mr.
E. R. Page dvlsyl me to try Btuaifa
Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did me
more permanent benefit than ull tho doc
tors' medicine that I have ever taken."
Rev. J. R. Iioag of Wymore. Neb., writes;
"For six years I havs been troubled wltK
dyspepsia. Last fall I became very much
alarmed at ronio symptoms of heart trouble
and came to believe there was a sympa
thetic relation between the two diseases,
or rathei that the stomach trouble ans
the cause of the heart rtlsturbances. I hit
upon Stuart s Dyspopsla Tablets for a rem
edy and invested a dollar and a half for
three boxes which laated me three months
and I can eat any kind of food I want and
have a good, vigorous appetite. Although
I am 77 years old, I now feel perfectly well
and without being requested by anyone I
make this statement as a compliment to
the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tuhlets."
Henry Klrkpatrlck of Lawrence, Max.'..
says: "Men and women whose occupation
precludes an active outdoor life should
make it a dally practice to use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. I have done
so myself and I know positively that I owe
my present health and vigor to their dslly
use. From tha time I waa 22, when i
graduated from school with broken heaUh
from overwork, until I waa 14, I scarcely .
knew what It was to be free from siomaeii
weakness. I had no appetite whatever fur
breakfast and very little for any oilier
meal. I had acidity and heartburn nearly
every day and sometimes waa alarmed by
Irregularity and palpitation of the haart,
but all thla Gradually diaappeared after 1
began using Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and I can eat my meals with relish and
satisfaction which I had not kncwi slnie
I was a growing boy."
If your stomach won't work try Btuart's
Dyapepsla Tablet and be convinced vt
their merits. All druggists at 11 them at 60
cents a box.. Once use them and you will
become their advocate and friend.
