Uia county hospital.
At th regular session Mr. Kennard
offeree: a resolution that Dr. fomers be ap
pointed aa obstetrician on the regular staff
cf the county hospital. HIa service would
ba valuable, he said, and there would be
no expense to the rounty resulting from
th appointment. Mr. Connolly wanted the
appointment referred to the committee of
tha whole, not because ba disapproved of
Dr. Bomers' appointment, but because. In
hla opinion, Uie entire ataff of aizteen J ce
tera, now on tha staff, needs a thorough
shaking up and weeding out.
"Of thla enure number," aald Mr. Con
nolly, "I know of one or two who have
never been near tha hospital lnc their
appointment, and there are only two or
three mho attend to their dutlea regularly.
I think the placea of thoae who do not do
their duty ahould ba filled by mea whe
will."
Mr. Kennard reached for Dr. Somen,
but Mr. Connolly Insisted that the matter
ba acted on by tha committee of the whole.

the opinion of other who live In the east,

to either China or, after the Chlno-Japa-eee

allied Itself with Russia In seeing that

Japan to hold Port Arthur, It certainly
should not have allowed Russia to have

RABBI COHN'S FIRST SERVICE
Ceegregetlea Israel rills the Teaaale
ta Greet tte Sew ealrttaal
Read.
Temple Israel waa filled last night by the
congregation gathered to greet Ita new
rabbi. Frederick Cohn, and to listen to his
Installation sermon. In Introducing the
new rabbi. Mortis "Levy of the temple board
said: "I congratulate you on calling Rabbi
Cohn. and I congratulate you on the way
of hla calling unanimously. This call
marks a step in advance for Temple Israel.
We must give him help we must give him
support and encouragement. Not only must
we support him In a material way, but also
morally."
I avtah to thank Mr. "Levy for his kind
words of greeting, of Introduction and of
welcome," began Rabbi Cohn. "And the
congregation, my congregation, I wish to
express my thanka to you for your many
courtesies to me since I have come to this
city, and for your confidence in calling me
to your pulpit 1 ahall aerk to justify this
crrfldence and to serve you faithfully and
well, serve you aa we are commanded to
love Clod, with all my heart and with all
my soul and all my might. To devote all
the powers weak though they may be
which God has given me, to the highest duty
and the noblest pleasure, which shall be to
make your cause my cause, your Interest
my Interest and your hope my hope. Ood
grant and give us life and strength to en
Joy many years together In sweet compan
ionship; for the honor of the congregation,
tha glory of beloved Judaism and the spir
itual welfare not only of ourselves, but of
e!l mankind."
The rabbi In Ms Initial sermon distin
guished between the Ideals of Christianity
and of Judaism. For one of these, Judaism
did not believe holiness could be acquired
by fastings and the mortification of the
flesh. These had been largely Christian
Ideals In earlier times, and are not now
wholly abandoned. Men cannot pray them
selves Into holiness, becauae ascetlsra Is
not holiness. Renouncing the world and
Its pleasures Is not considered by Judaism
aa tending for goodness. It la wrong. Ood
made the world and ita beauties. He who
renounces these rejects Ood' blessings.
The rabbi cloeed with a definition of true
holiness and an appeal to the congregation
to ascend together with himself the moun
tain of holiness.
After th service the congregation de
scended to the church parlors for a recep
tion, all being anxious to welcome and
shake th hand of the new leader. It was
announced that hereafter ' regular service
with muslo would be held every Saturday
morning at 10: JO o'clock.

Explanation f Maalclpal
Affaire.
Street lights, city finances, park, boule
vard and sidewalks were discussed at th
meeting of the Omaha View Improvement
club last night Councilman Evans pre
sented th light question, assisted by Gas
Inspector Lynch, who was th moat auo-
ceaeful of ail speaker In drawing applause.
Councilman Huntington explained the high
levy and discussed the monetary problem
of tn city government, while Park Com mis
sloner J. T. Craig told about th work and
plan of that board.
Incidentally, the club got Into a row
to whether an eleotrlo lamp available
should be placed at Thirty-third and Corby
Thirty-fourth and Corby. Certain mem
ber had heaped unkind remark and hopes
upon Councilman Evans and ha was there
to make an explanation, which he did with
considerable vigor and effect, He said he
wa doing th best he could; that the Sixth
ward had received more Improvements si no
h assumed office than during six previous
years snd flnslly wound up by declaring
he would continue to do what he thought
wa best, regardless of the club, lo which
be Intended to be friendly, whether the
members reciprocated or not.
Councilman Huntington, after going on
record aa favoring a much lighting aa c-ut
be obtained, told how the levy happens
to be 14 mill thl year; the meanneaa of
th railroad In not paying their taxe
last year; declared the council had no alter
native but make a 14-mill levy thla year;
denounced special tax shirkers and spoke
In favor of the enforcement of the scav
enger tax law.
Park Commissioner Craig said that In
view of th fact tbat th minimum of th
park fund had been Increased to 130,000 the
commissioner were In a position to de
velop the park end boulevard system more
rapidly. They are now retrained by an
Inlunctlon, preventing the completion of the
Central boulevard. A difference of opinion
a to how land acquired for th purpose
sli'tuld be paid for Is the bone of contention.

111.
"While tip at Crawford few day ago on
court buslneas," said Deputy I'nlted States
Marshal J. O. Moore, I was surprised to
meet th famous Doc MMdleton. He hru
prred to be fn a group of men I wa talk
ing with at the station and someone Intro
duced me to htm. Doc has grown quite old
within the past several years, but he Is
still the snme striking character ef the old
davs when he wss the terror of that sec
tion. His eye Is ss bright aa It was twenty
year ago, but he is much broken. I be
lieve he now lives up near Rushvllle. Cra.
ford, you know, waa his old stamping
ground, and his name la still regarded there
with considerable awe. I did not learn Just
what he waa doing up about Rushvllle. but
think he la In the ranching business. I had
not seen nor heard of Mlddleton Tor a good
many year and auppoeed he wa dead.
But on the contrary he Is still good for
many years. Few men along the northern
Nebraska border have gone through more
exciting scene than Doc Mlddleton and
he seems to hav completely recovered from
the effects ef the doten or so of bullet holes
tbat mark his body aa an evidence that he
waa a buay character In the dark and
bloody days of twenty-five or thirty year
ago In that section.
SAYS AUTOS MUST SLOW UP
Chief rWtaahae Declare Reaataa
Pagglea Caaaet Raa at Break,
neck Speed.
Chief of Police Donahue say that In
tlew cf the many complaint being received
from pedeatriar.a who feel their lives and
limbs In danger from tha reckless speed
maintained by many of the automoblllsts
of the city, he has determined to stop
the nuisance by arresting all chauffeur
running their machines over a reasonable
limit of speed.
Although there Is no city ordinance at
present regulating the speed of automo
biles, there Is one governing vehicles and
the chief will have the owners of flighty
automobile arreeted under th charge of
fast and reckless driving."
"Whether a vehicle has horse ttehed
or I run by some other motive power, la
a mere technicality," says the chief. "Th
principle Involved Is the same. The secur
ity of life and limb must be maintained.'
"In many cities the law requires that
large numbers be attached to automobile
for recognition In case of accidents"
Last Wednesday evening the South Sid
Second Ward Improvement club paaaed a
resolution asking the authorities to take
some action to prevent the present care
leesneas of chauffeurs on tha boulevards
and In Rlvervlew park.
WANTS COURT IN CITY HALL
Elbeara Say leavtager Law Will
Make This Necessary t Saw
Mack Money.
Arrangement may be made so that an
equity judge of the district court will hold
sessions In the clerk's office at th city hall
for a time this year. Such a course has
been advocated by City Clerk Elbourn be
cause of the Immense amount of tabor that
would be requlreo. to transport records and
document both from his office and that of
the treasurer to the regular court room,
when foreclosure proceedings under the
scavenger tax law are begun. Hundreds
of theee suits ar predicted, destined to
bring In hundreds of thousand of dollar
of back taxe and to enable delinquent tax
payer to free their property from such
obltgatlone. According to th legal Depart
ment each case will demand numerous
municipal records, extending aa far back
as lWO, when Omaha began It corporate
existence. If these dnuments have to be
carried Into the Bee building or the court
house much valuable time, besides th cost
for messenger service, will b lost. El-
tourn estimates that the suits can be
pushed forward twice aa fast and a great
deal of money saved If court I held In hi
office.

An advertising agent, representing n
prominent New Tork magaxlne, whll on
recnt western trip, was dining on evening
In a Pittsburg restaurant
While w-itlng for hie order he glanced
over hi newspaper and noticed the edver
tlsement of well known dyspepsia prepa
ration, Stuart' Dyspepsia Tablet: s he
himself wa a reguUr used of th tablet,
he began speculating ss to how many of the
other traveling man In the dining room
were also friend of th popular remedy
for Indigestion.
He say: I counted twenty-three men at
the table and In the hotel offlc I took the
trouhl to Interview them and wa sur
prised to learn that nine of the twenty
three made a practice of taking on or two
of Btuarf Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. .
On of them told m he bad suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged to quit the road,
but since using Btuarf Dsypepsla Tablet
had been entirely free front Indigestion,
but he continued their use. especially w hile
traveling, on account of Irregularity In
meals and because, Ilk all traveling men,
ha was often obliged to eat wht he could
get and not always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of health,
siild he never ate a meal without taking a
Btuart Tablet afterward, because he could
eat what he pleased nd when he pleased
without fear of a sleepless night or any
other trouble.
St III another used them because h was
subject to gia on stomach, causing preesure
on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and
distress In chest, which he no longer ex
perienced sine using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was th only af remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity.
He had formerly used common soda lo re
lieve the trouble, but th tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other excesaes
which weaken the digestive organs, nothing
restores tbe stomach to a healthy, whole
some condition ao effectually aa Stuart'
Tablet.
Btuarf Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestives, pepsin, dlasla.. which
very weak stomach lacks, as w-11 a nux

safely relied on as a radical cure for vvery
