MICHAELSON GETS BAD SCARE
City Ktertrlclaa Draws Xa saber for
Dos; TsgT Which Gives Hlaa
a Chill.
City Electrician Mlchaelson, who pro
poses to cut the wlrea of the electric light
company that Illuminate the down town
district Monday If his orders to put In Iron
lamp posts are not obeyed, had a peculiar
experience- yesterday. It raised the hair
on his head for an Instant and made him
wonder whether or not a hoodoo had fas
tened upon him.
In company with a great many other cltl
sens, Mr. Mlchaelson had lined up In the
city clerk's office to buy a license for his
dog. He waited his turn patiently, not
regretting the dollar spent to protect the
animal's life, and drew his tag with a
pleasant smile.
Soon after he was talking to City Clerk
Bl bourn and chanced to glance at the
number of the brass label which he held In
his hand.
"Great heavenst he gasped. "This thing
Is numbered 1,137."
"What's wrong with that?" asked El
bourn. "It sounds like good luck to me,
although I never could figure out success
ful combinations."
"Good luck!" cried the electrician, "why,
that's the number of the 'trouble' telephone
of the Omaha Electric Light and Power
company. What does It meant"
As soon as the electrician had mopped
the cold sweat from his brow, however, his
pluck returned and he left to consult the
city attorney on some of the legal points
of his controversy.

Dotens of bricklayers and carpenters are
working on the new high school building.
Lines for the west wall were laid yester
day by the city engineer and before night
the walls were up to the height of four
feet. On some portions of the building the
structure Is up to the first floor and car
penters are setting Joist preparatory to the
laying of temporary floors. A number of
the Iron piers have been placed In posi
tion. Some of the members of the Board
of Education looked ovet the building yes
terday and expressed themselves as being
well plnased with the progress being made.
Some changes have been made In the brick
facings, pressed brick being substituted for
ordinary building brick on the west.
Contractor Bock said last night that he
Is doing all that he possibly could to
rush the work In order that the building
might be completed by October L The
foundations were laid late last -fall and
have had time to settle, so there Is no
hesitation now about going ahead with
the walls and the carpenter work.
With all the work that Is to be dona,
there Is some doubt expressed about the
building being completed by the date the
contract calls for. Even should the build
ing be done, those Interested In ths con
struction say that some time should be
given for the plastering to dry thoroughly
and have steam up and the boilers tested
before a move from the present building
Is made. The high school classes will be
organized In the fall In the present build
ing and the chances are that there will
be no move Into the new building until
gome time In December.

RECOLLECTIONS OF BILL NYE
Herole EsTorta ta Drive Law aad
afaetlee Together, hat tha
Team Balked,
When BUI Nye first left home for the
west, "bidding his parents a kind, even
affectionate farewell," and telling them
"ever to remember the good example he
had set them since the hour of his birth,"
It wss with the expectation of practicing
law rather than of embarking in the
newspaper business. He had been admit
ted to the bar, "under cover of darkness,"
again to quote his own words, and Lar
amie, Wyo seemed to offer a promising
Held. He hired an office about a block from
tha livery stable over which later ha
carried on his Journalistic labors, where
you "went up two flights of stairs or
twisted the tall of the white mule and
took the elevator," according to choice.
In the law Nye got on Indifferently,
though he took It very seriously, his hu
morous tendency being at that time either
unsuspected by himself or rigidly sup
pressed. One of his first cases called him
to the neighboring town of Hi Stranger
in defense of a Scandinavian named Axel
son, whose dog. It was alleged, had bit
the plaintiff.
Nye thought it best to ascertain the
exact status of the case from his client,
so he said:
"Now, Mr. Axelson, tell me about this
dog of yours did he probably bite the
man?"
"No," answered the Scandinavian, with
a Jerk of the head which threatened to
dislocate his neck. "He bees goot dog,
yentle rust like kitten. Bite nottlngs."
"Then I think we have a clear case,"
said Nye. "We will Introduce evidence to
show the dog's good character. Is hs a
large dog?"
"Yust a me?dlp-lze dog. Not so small
like dee little dogs what goes kl-kl-yl!
Not so big like des large dogs what goes
boom-boom-boop! Ay tank mehhy he bees
sheep dog."
"Oood." commented Nye. "Sheep dogs
are always gentle, like their charges. He
never bit this man. We shall win the
case."
When the trial came on considerable diffi
culty was experienced In getting a Jury,
since the plaintiff's attorney objected to
every man who owned a dog, and Nye
promptly challenged every man who was
not provided with such an appendage.
Finally a working agreement was hit on
and twelve men selected who had been
dog owners at some time In their lives
but were not at the moment In possession
of nny specimens. Evidence was then In
troduced. Nye depended chiefly on his
client's neighbors, mosti of them honest
Scandinavians Ilka himself, who swore to
the mild disposition and generally pacific
character of the dog. His ways, It ap
peared, were ways of pleasantness, and
his paths those of peace.
But It remained for Nye himself In Ma
summing up to raise and glorify that dog
above a1 dogs to beatify him among
canines. He had about reached till pero
ration. "What, gentlemen, of the Jury,"
be cried, "shall we say of men who come
Into this court and try to traduce this
gentle creature? What must we think of
men who will attempt to poison the minds
of twelve upright gentlemen against a
poor, dumb, defenseless beast? Gentle
men, you have heard what the honest
neighbors of my client have had to say
about that dog. You know It Is true, but
you shall have further evidence, that of
your own senses. I understand that the
harmless creature Is outside. Mr. Axel
em." he added, turning to the defendant,
"fetch In Fldo! Let those twelve Intelli
gent men form their own opinion of him.
Seeing Is believing. Remember, gentle
men .this Is a sheep dog. trusted associate
of lambs! What, gentlemen, says the
poet? What what," he stammered, not
having. In fact, the least notion what the
poet said. "What says the poet?" he
went on resolutely. Inwardly praying that
his client would appear and save the day.
"What ah, I have it: .
My name Is Norval; on the Gramplon hills
My father feeds his flocks.
Feeds his flocks, gentlemen. Note those
flocks. And what sort of a dog did Norval
have? One like my client's one such as
stands before you," ha added, relieved, a
relief which the next moment was tem
pered with consternation as he saw that
the creature was of sinister aspect and
about the size of a yearling calf. "You see.
gentlemen, yon see" The gentlemen did
see. As he spoke the dog, without a sound,
sprang forward and grabbed the foreman of
the Jury by the leg. Instantly all was up
roar. The Jury mounted chnlrs, the Judge
rapped for order and the sheriff reached for
his weapons. "What, gentlemen, says the
poet?" roared Nye, hoping .for another In
spiration, but the Judge only rapped the
louder. Finally the defendant succeeded In
pulling the dog off. "What Is the Jury's
verdict r asked the Judge. "We And for
the plaintiff." shouted the foreman, and
there was no dissenting voice. "Gentlemen,"
said Nye, as he gathered up his law books,
"never mind what the poet said. Whatever
It was it wasn't strong enough." Saturday

BAN FRANCISCO. Aorll 16 The r-hr.
Icle says: It Is now well established that
the Southern Pacific company made a mir.
chase two or three months ago of the North
Shore Una from Sausallto to Cazadero.
The principal object of the big corporation
in aosoroing mis isolated narrow gauge
line Is said to have been to secure the
water front at Sausallto and head off tha
Santa Fe from a nosslble bay terminnl l.-w
Its contemplated new line down from
cursaa 10 ft an rTancisco. The road U sup
posed to represent an Investment of about
ll.3W.000. but as a railway crnntn. t. 1.
conservatively valued at $4W.0X in view ot
any prospective terminal they may have.
It Is also understood that the Southern
Paclflo has acquired, or will soon control,
the California Northwestern, running from
Tlburon to L'klah, a broad guage line of
considerable more Importance than the
North Shore. By taking over the California
Northwestern the Southern Paclflo would
again be anticipating the Santa Fe and
keeping It out of a possible purrhase of a
convenient bay terminal for Its Eureka

SLIGHT CASE OF SMALLPOX
First la Omaha Blnce September aad
It Is Not Regarded at All
Serloas.
Everett E. Moores. a clerk in the B. A
M. railroad office, who not long since came
to this ctty from Alliance, Mo., and who
for about a month has occupied a room In
the third story of the flats at 408 South
Twrnty-flfth avenue, was taken 111 Monday
with what the doctors a day or two after
ward diagnosed ss a mild case of smallpox.
Moores was not confined to his bed at all,
but kept closely to his room, and the mat
ter was reported to the Board of Health
by Dr. J. H. Peabody.
Assistant Health Commissioner Arnold
had the patient removed to the Emergency
hospital Friday afternoon and hla quarters
at the lodging house, aa well as the other
rooms In the place, thoroughly fumigated.
It was not thought necessary under the
circumstance that the other occupants or
the place Itself be quarantined.
Mr. Moores Is at a loss to tell how he
contracted the disease, though he says he
was a resident of Alliance at the time
smallpox was epidemic there two or three
years ago. This Is the first case of the
kind reported In Omaha since last Septem
ber. NEARLY FOUR mJNDRED NOW IN
Singers Are Readily Co-Operatlns for
Ceremonies at Opening of
Auditorium.
"Between 370 and 3S0 singers have sent in
their applications for membership in the
Auditorium festival chorus," said Ben Stan
ley, who with Mr. Simms has charge of the
music. "We want all the good talent In
the city and are very much gratified at the
way in which applications have been pour
ing In. We will begin work Tuesday even
ing on the 'Hymn of Pmlse,' which is to be
the heavy piece of the festival." ;
Mr. Stanley had about seventy pounds of
music of the Mendelssohn piece which has
arrived for the chorus. Notices of the first
meeting have been sent out.

Ilyomei's Success
In Omaha
Cared Many Serloas Cases of Catarrh.
Sherman at MeConnell Drag Co., lath
aad Dodge Sis., Will Hefand Moner
If It Falls.
No other medicines or treatment for
catarrh has ever achieved such quick and
remarkable success In Omaha as Hyomel.
The fact that Sherman tt MeConnell Drug
Co., ICth and Dodge Sta. when they first
Introduced Hyomel sold it under a positive
guarantee to refund the money in case
It did not cure contributed largely to Its
successful Introduction. A guarantee from
a firm like Sherman & MeConnell Drug Co.,
16th and Dodge Sts, gave people the
confidence at the start.
Those who obtained a Hyomel outfit
found that tha treatment did all that was
claimed for It; thst the first few breaths
of Hyomel cleared the air passages and
gave an exhilarating and Invigorating
effect. Its continued use freed the system
from all catarrhal germs, soothed and
healed the mucous membrane, and made
a complete and lasting cure.
, Compared with the dangerous stomach
drugging that had been used heretofore
In the treatment of catarrh, the balsamlo
air of Hyomel created a most favorable
Impression. And the medicine Itself did
even more than was claimed for It. In
fact, to make a success, It was necessary
that Hyomel should cure nearly every case
of catarrh In which It was used, for every
outfit was sold on a guarantee to refund
the money in ease It failed.
If It had not possessed unusual merit,
sn offer like this would have resulted In
an enormous losa But curing as It did,
Hyomel soon gained an enviable reputation
and made many friends who recommend
It far and near. Its success here In Omaha
has been remarkable, and Sherman ft Me
Connell Drug Co., 16th snd Dodge Sts. are
still selling It on their personal guarantee
to refund the money fat case It does not
give satisfaction.
Thousands of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Snspect It.

I was out of health and run down gen-
erally; had no appetite, was dlzsy and
