It took the city council, minus O'lJrlm and
Nicholson, all of Friday afternoon to
find out that It could not reduce wages at
tho city hall. Councilman Zlmman led In
the fight to pcure a 10 py cent reduction
all around and was aswliitwl to some ex
tent by Councilman Hoye, but they failed.
Contrary to reducing aalnrlca they rained
a few, tacking nn V a month to the In

conductors, making their wages each $."5.

get along without $187 worth of stationery
and stamps that he had hist year, but a
proportion to put back the tuilarlcs of two
clerks In the city clerk's otllce from ft
to $75 a month, called forth a declaration
something like this from Chairman Hunt
ington of the finance committee: '
"Why tnlk about $75 a month In this city.
A white man with a family cannot live
on that Income and you know It. Living
expenses havo doubled In a many years.
'The clerks of this town are notoriously
underpaid and just because you can get
a man for $75 is no reason why he should
receive those wages."
There with Their Reasons.
. Heads of various departments were pres
ent with reasons why apportionments for
their offices should not be reduced. The
meeting had been called for the purpose
of slicing up part of the general fund
among the various offices.
Treasurer Ilennlngs got $0,855 more than
last year because he said he needed It to
handle clerical work required by the opera

$1,200, because the legislature raised his
wages that much, the tax commissioner

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THB WORK.
Eavtra Is Worthless I'nless III-
sreateoV Some Stomaehs Must
Have Help.
Food taken Into the stomach which, from
the nature of the food or the condition of
the stomach, is not digested, Is worse
than no food at all. This is a true state
ment, aa far as It goes, and a great many
dyspeptics) go only this far with their rea
soning. They argue with themselves that
beoauae their stomachs do not do the work
jivwn thorn, they must be given less work;
In, other words, they must Lie starved. It
would be just an peristole for u business
man who Is unable to do all h own work
to cut down his business to Ids own ca
pacity as It la for a man to starve himself
to relieve his stomach. The sensible busl
am man employs help and goes forward
with his business, l ikewise the sensible
dyspeptlo will employ help for his stomach
and give his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepxlu Tublets actually do
the work assigned to them. They relieve
weak and overburdened stomachs of a
treat portion of digestive action. Their
component parts are identical with those
f the digestive fluids and secretions of the
stomach, and they simply take up the
(rind and curry on the work Just the same
as a good, strong, healthy stomach would
9o It
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are perfectly nutural In their action
nd effects. They do not cause any un
autural or violent disturbance in the stom-ti-b
or bowels. They themselves digest
the fool and supply the system with all
the nourishment contained In what Is eaten
and carry out nature's plans for the sus
tenance and maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible Is this method
than that employed by many sufferers
!rnm weak stomachs. By this means body
nd brain get all the good, nutritious food
they need and the man Is properly nour
ished and equipped to carry on his work
Hid perform Ills duties. He could not pos
ilbly be In proier working condition by
itarvlng himself or employing some new
fangled. Insufficient fud that does not con
tain enough nutriment for a year-old baby.
K strong man doing strong work must be
properly fed, and this applies to the brain
is well as the body.
Btuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving
the stomach of Its work, enable it to re
;uperate atid 'regain Its normal health and
itrength. Nature repairs the worn and
wasted tissues, just as she heals snd knits

SPEAKS TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Dr. Klllott Devotes a Sermon
Xerrsslty of Repentance
f'onrrrslnn.
to the
nd
Dr. Elliott spoke speelslly to young Peo
ple from the text, Acts xill, 19. "Repent ye
therefore nnd be converted, that your sins
may be blotted out."
"It Is strange," said the speaker, "how
pride, prejudice or preconceived nntloni
hinder some people from accepting the im
ple gospel. 'Do the best you can.' says one,
but the difficulty Is that many such people
are doing little If anything In the way ol
living a practically righteous life. Another
says, 'If we are In earnest we are all right."
No, It does not follow of necessity. It may
be that our earnestness will carry us thi
faster and farther astray If we are headed
the wrong way. Nn, the fact Is the text
gives plain and simple directions.
"What the sinner must do repent.
What Is repentance? Not sorrow or re
morse simply, but being sorry enough for
sin to turn from It and live rightly of
righteously, or, as the word of God says.
'Let the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts and let him
return unto the Lord and to Our God,
who will abundantly pardon.
"What Ood will do convert. The ex
pression of the text denotes outside help
What is conversion? It Is that wonderful
and secret process which Ood works In the
heart and life yielded up to Him.
The speaker Illustrated this by the case
of a blind man who was going In exactly
a wrong direction to reach his home, and
who begged to be set right when he found
his error. A friend turned him exactly
right about face and then he went on his
way rejoicing.
"What tho result will be 'sins blotted
out.' All effort to live right must be In
complete without this, for unless the sin
of heart and life Is forgiven It will remain
as a clog to any future progress. It will
be the ball and chain that prevents liberty
and hinders a future walk."
Dr. Elliott and Mr. Rykert. the sweet
singer, who has charge of the music, will
close their work In this city on Sunday
with two farewell services. in the Central
T'nlted Presbyterian church at 10:30 a. m.
and 7:30 p. m. From here they go to 8ey

noon to buy the quantity of fire apparatus
recommended by the Advisory board. Tues

hotels and business houses to do so and the
president of the council found no mpport-

pression of the council, and after some dis
cussion It was forthcoming. Zlmman said
if his plan to give up the No. 1 house was
not 'favored he was not opposed to going
ahead and buying all the supplies planned
for. His original Idea contemplated sub
mitting a bond proposition to the people In
the fall for a new house near Fourteenth
and Harney. His confreres could not see
It that way, however, and agreed to buy
the $25,000 worth of stuff, regardless of the
fact that the source of the money Is uncer

ORDER TWO NEW PAVILIONS
Park Commissioners Will Authorise
Their Constroctlon This Spring:
at Rlvervlewr.
Two pavilions will be constructed at
Rlvervlew park this spring and Instructions
were given to the Improvement committee
to proceed with the work by the Park board
at a regular meeting yesterday afternoon.
The buildings will cost about $3,000. One
will be lurre, of the bungalow type, 40x80
feet In sixe. The other Is a small pagoda
and will be located near the soo for shelter
In case of rain. The bungalow is to be near
the oenter of the pork, near what Is known
as the well. Concessions will be sold in
each pavllllon. The efforts of Improvement
clubs In the south part of the city Induced
the Park board to order the new buildings.
A committee from the Prospect Hill Im
provement club waited on the board yester
day afternoon and said the organisation In

puved and parked this summer. The co
operation of the board was desired in the
matter of setting out trees and the com

STILL AFTER THESTREET CARS
Omaha View Improvers Working; for
an Extension of the Harney
Itreet Line.
Time at the meeting of the Omaha View
Improvement club last night was occupied
mostly by a discussion of an old subject
the extension of the Harney street railway
line on Thirty-third street to Parker street.
It was decided finally to Invite General
Manager Smith to Pome out and talk the
matter over with the club next Friday
night. Members who had conferred with
the street rullway people said that assur
ances were given that the idea of the exten
sion had not been abandoned, but Is held
In abeyance pending important repair work.
Kxtenslon of the gas mains from Thirty
third street to Thirty-fourth avenue on
Miami and Corby streets was another
theme discussed. The gas company had
been unable, for some reason, to secure
a requisite number of signers to a petition
and so Informed the club In a letter. This
intelligence caused a number of members to
sign the form at once and It was placed In
the hands of a committee to get the other
names.
Advertising by means of signs and black,
boards of shops In the locality was talked
of and arranged.

More Cooler Room Keeded.
With the heavy receipts of live stock
this week the lack of refrigerator cars and
cooling facilities Is felt here by the pack
ers. In pplte of all the protests made to
the railroads the packers here do not
seem to be able to get a sufficient number
of refrlgerntor cars to handle their busi
ness. Ordinary cars have been racked by
nil of the packers and these are sent out
whenever the temperature Is low enough
to prevent ments from spoiling. On ac
count of the lack of cars the cooler rooms
at all of the packing houses are over
crowded and the result Is that cattle
bought by packers are compelled to remain
In pens In the yards Instead of being sent
to the abattoirs for Immediate slaughter.
Packers are compelled to pay for feed for
cattle held over and are exceedingly an
xious that the railroads make arrange
ments for sending refrigerator cars back
from the east as soon as possible.

more. They gave him a deluge of per

PUTS STOP TO STREET LAMPS
Mayor Calls Halt to Installing; More
Lights for tho Current
Tear.
Mayor Moores has called a halt upon the
Installation of new street lamps . during
1904. Yesterday afternoon a . compilation
from the comptroller's office was placed
upon his desk which shows that for the
year there will be an estimated deficit of
about $5,000 in the lighting fund with the
number of lamps now In service and or
dered. The royalties which the gas and
electric light companies are expected to
pay and every other resource was added
and still the probable receipts do not come
up to the certain disbursement. It had
been supposed at the city hall that the
lighting fund was still a few thousand
dollars to the good, and certain paternal
brains were busy figuring out new sur
prises to make their constituents quite
happy. It seems, however, an unhappy
error by someone in the accounting depart
ment got the original totals about $10,000
short of the money in sight. This has been
found and corrected after several thousand
dollars worth of new 1'ghtlng has been
contracted for, providentially enough.

CHILD'S SLEEPING GARMENT.
No. 4313 One of the most sensible gar

piece "bed suit," which covers the child
from "head to toe." It Is a garment that
Is recommended by nurses us well as moth

the child does not take cold If the covers
are kicked off. Then, too, the limbs are
free and the child can kick to Ills heart's
content without fear of croup or other
ailments.
The garment Is quite simple for any
mother to make and yet a Joy to the child
who will wear It. There will be no more
trouble In getting ready for bed, for every
child likes to get Into clothes that are dis
tinctly his own. The body part Is In one
ploce; the closing may be down the back
or at the side in drawers style. In case
of delicate children, where it is necexaary
to soak or rub the feet In case, of Illness,
the Inner seams at the ankle should be
finished by button and button holes, as
this enables one to roll up the foot cover

when he turned to restore the bottle to the
shelf his two guests disappeared as though
by magic. He had turned but an Instant,
but the empty glasses were all that were
left to Indicate that any one hod been
there. The bartender said that he leaned
over the bar to see if the men had hidden
there to avoid payment and that he could
not see them, but that to satisfy himself
he had stepped around the bar t the front.
"Do you know," cold he, relating the
story, "that those fellows had shrunk to
little bits of follows not more than six
Inches tall and they were engaged In a
spirited argument over who should pay. As
I walked up to them one of those little
fellows leaped Into my right 1 pocket and
the other jumped into my left trousers
pocket, and, do you believe It, try as much
as I would I could not dislodge them?"
As the old habitues of the tremens de
partment of the hospital listened to this
story, relates the superintendent, they
looked knowingly nt one another and
quietly walked to a drain pipe passing
through the room and vigorously rapped
on It. It was a signal for the attendants
below, who came In with handcuffs and re
moved the story-telling bartender to the
"booby hatch" bejow, a name they have
given to the padded -celt In which recal
citrant men erased from liquor are thrust
for their own protection and for that of all
concerned. The hospital superintendent told
me that that fellow was raving like a mad
bull within half an hour and that for three
days they despaired of his life. He said
that In their raving condition the victims
bf-lleved that snme one was pursuing them
and that to all Intents and purposes they
were maniacs, the only cure for which was
Pleep, Induced by more liquor. He said,
however, that the premonitory signs of ap
proaching madness were always some queer
speech, such as that of the bartender.
