The . lacing- of the $J bars to nieinber
hlp In the Coinmcrrlal club has caused
rush to g.t through the P''ti gateway
l lore the nrst of February closes 11. The
t'embershlp rolls were swelled today by the
addition of VO numc'S gained during the
week a Jare part of tlium today and
passed on at the meeting of the executive
committee. Thia gives the club a total of
't members.
The rivalry lias been keen among mem
'rs of the club as to who Hhould get the
greatest number of new men tur the or
ganization. The rate has beta closest be
tween Commissioner McVunn and V. W.
Judson. At 11 o'clock this morning the
former was slightly uhead, having brought
fa fifty-five members against tifiy-two for
the latter. The seventy-eight names passed
on today Is the largest number ever re
ceived Into the club at any one time. It
la expected but a few names will ba re
ceived for some tlma after the en
trance fee becomes a necessity, as those
, who intend entering the club have done so
this week.
Executive Committee Work.
The executive committee did little busi
ness except to receive members. A vote of
condolence was taken for the sufferers la
the great fire. It was decided tne new '
, board of directors will meet Friday. At
that tlma they will choose the executive
. committee of twenty-five. The old and the
new executive committees will meet next
Tuesday at the regular meeting hour. Af-
, tx a formal meeting probably the old
members will withdraw and the new com-
mlttee will select lta chairman, secretary
, and treasurer.

While Mr. Clyde Fitch has not as yet
done anything to entitle him to a perma
nent seat among the Immortals, he has
shown In providing a piny tT Miss Maxlne
Elliott's uses that he Is at least capable
of continuity. That's something, for In
most of the other Fitch plays one somehow
gets the Impression that they were pre
pared at odd times, and that In the interval
between work and play the witty author
forgot occasionally Junt where he had left
off and started somewhat at a higher or
lower level on his addition. Urologists call
It a "fault." In this one his seam runs
true, with well denned foot and hanging
walls, to continue the metaphor, and while
the pay streak is not especially wide nor
of uncommonly high value. It still Is worth
the while. It is noteworthy for the reason
that it shows Mr. Fitch can tell a straight
story an he will. It a a nice little weepy
sort of a yarn, with something of aeveral
other Fitch plays In It, and a splendid
chance for several clever people to show us
a varied assortment of characters some
of whom rather try us at the outset, but
II coming in for a reasonable share of
sympathy before the final curtain. Even
Cousin Sam, when he starts for .hades by
way of Denver, goes away with a wave of
forgiveness following him, part of it In
spired no doubt as much by the foute he
propose taking as by bla ultimate des
tination. Miss Elliott has the role towards which
all the "heart Interest" in the piece sets
as naturally as water runs down hill. In
spite of being thus centered, she manages
here and there to give out a flash of acting
that tends to life the role above the level
fixed fer it by the author. In the scene
with Steve In the third act she attains a
height she has never before reached in a
play. Here she gives a splendid illustra
tion of a nature buoyant and hopeful in
combat with calamity, and while the play
of emotions is swift, and the change from
the seriousness that comes to her with
the realization of Steve's unworthy conduct
and contemplated suicide to the exuberant
Joy that follows the receipt of the letter
from Dick Is a fine piece of acting, it
shows her in her best light, cheerful under
adversity, hopeful and trustful, and then
Joyous as a child with a new toy in the
realization that she is loved by the man
she loves. Miss Elliott s natural bent leads
her away from aeveral opportunities to
Indulge In heroics and keeps her on an
even keel through her strong scenes. While
she Is a long way yet from being a great
actress, she Is certainly a much better
one than a lot of folks gave her credit for.
Mr. Hers s Steven Carley is probablv the
best bit of acting afforded by the company.
ne naa a roie mat could easily be spoiled,
but he manages It with excellent Judgment
and tact Mr. Carew mars his generally
satisfactory work by Just a little bit of
overacting. His character is that of a
fellow who la a sort of a cross between an
Ignoramus and a cad. and he finds It a
little difficult to balance between the two
elements. Miss Lawrence gives laughable
life to Mr. Fitch's satirical shots at several
tnings, the newspapers Included. The others
in the cast are well placed and aid ma
terially in making the piece a great sue
cess.
One of the most fashionable audience.
of the season was out last night, and gave
cordial approval to the star and to her
associates. "Her Own Way" will be re-

Loses Hla Valise at Inlon
Station.
When Desk Sergeant Havev of th
station recorded a loss reported by Julius
Plckarow. an Indian from thA Pin
agency, that genial police official did not,
in tne press or Dusineas, give the matter
more than passing thought. Th
nothing In the manner of the aborigine at
tne station omce to indicate the grief that
Was in his bosom or reven in hi. i .
With that stolidity characteristic of his
race Plckarow accosted the desk sergeant,
and, with an occasional grunt, conveyed
the information tnat he had left his valise
on a bench at the Union station and whila
ouafflns- a drink of the white man', n..
extinguisher at the depot water tank, some
member of the pale face race had token
his grip. Ana tnus tne incident was closed
ao far as he deak aera-ann
cerned. But It was not closed for Plck
arow. Nursing tne sorrow that was his
he went out into tne ban and sat with
bowed head on on of the benches.
To a coterie or sympathizing reporters
Plckarow told his life story, which, ac
cording to the Indian's words, would have
a denounetnent If he met the thief with
bis stolen grip.
Ttia object that has kindled anew tiv
arow's hatred for the white man Is noth

In the grip and was being taken to the
agency aa a present for Plckarow's little
boy, who asked his ather to buy him such
a top when he crfme to Omaha.
"Me once have heep love for white man;
now ugh ughme no smoke with him
more," said the Indian.
The grip contained a pair of red gloves,
one Bteor's tail fringed with beads, one
suit of blue underwear mid the toy

Zaitern Buyers Inquiring About Propowd
Issue of Sewer Bondi.
NOT LIKELY TO BE ON THE MARKET SOON
Andrew Kosewater Mosy Preparing
Plans for m Sewer System W hich
It la Intended to Make '
Complete.
City Clerk Glllin has no less than a score
of Inquiries from all over th country rela
tive to the, proposed Issue rf bond" In the
sum of JZO.nOO for sewer purpose. Most of
these Inquiries tire from well known bond
broker's In Chicago, New Tork. Cincinnati,
Cleveland and other ci-tern points. They
all ark as to the kind of bonds, what for,
how long to run. etc., find all expre. con
siderable Interest in them.
It now seems certain that th bonds, if
Issued, will not be Moated soon. The bill
Introduced In the legislature authorizing
tho city council to Issue these proposed
sewer bonds may he so amended as to re
quire the proposition to he submitted to a
vote. In which event It would lie a much
longer time at least before th bond would
be on the market.
Meantime City Engineer Bosewater of
Omaha Is going ahead with the work on
the plana and specifications for a complete
sewer system, which the city couneil re
cently ordered This work Is being care
fully and cautiously done, so that Tio mis
takes will be made, with a view of having,
when the time comes, a sewer system which
will be perfection.
The delegation which foem to Lincoln to
day on account of the sewer bond bill will,
it Is understood, ask that the amount pro
posed be reduced, as well as that the whole
matter be submitted to a vote. It seems
almost a certainty, however, that during
the coming year mmt action will be taken
looking to the construction of a sewer sys
tem in South Omaha, no matter how the
bonds are Issued.
The.numerous Inquiries from bond buyers
Is regarded as evidence that South Omaha
la looked upon aa a pretty good thing by
the eastern men of money, even though
many of them do not purchase property
here.
Pupils Back at School.
Most of the pupils of the eighth grade In
the West Side school, who "struck" the
other day becnjsc of a change of teachers,
returned to their room yesterday after
noon, after the teachers' committee of the
board, Messrs. Laverty, Rich and Morrill,
had assigned Miss Thompson to the place
vacated by Miss Brandt. The selection of
the teachers' committee was apparently sat
isfactory to all concerned, and Miss Thomp
son went to work at once. Miss Thompson
Is regarded as one of the best eighth grade
teachers In the city schools, and it wag
stated by the teachers' committee that her
being assigned to the place meant no reflec
tion whatever upon the other teachers. In
any event, the "striking" pupils were re
turned to their studies and all Is lovely
over at the West Side school.
Fleharty la Remembered.
Just as retiring Assistant City Attorney
H. B. Fleharty was about to give over his

Brlggs stepped forward and presented Mr.
Fleharty with a beautiful gold Eagle watch
charm, saying he gave it In behalf of nu
merous friends who wished the retiring offi
cial success and prosperity. Mr. Fleharty
responded briefly and everybody felt happy.
Mr. Winters at once assumed the duties of
his office.

Manager Swift of the local plant an
nounced yesterday that the cutting of the
second crop of lco had been commenced
upon Cut-OfI lake, and that the harvest

RATES AND THE RAILROADS
tommerrtal Organisation Have
Positive Motions as ta What
la Wanted.
Commercial organizations nil over the
country are taking an active Interest in the
proposed amending of the laws governing
the Interstate Commerce commirsion. The
Omaha Commercial club Is In receipt of a
set of suggestions which were framed Jan
uary 15 In Chicago at a joint meetlrg of the
Chicago Board of Trade, the Illinois Manu
facturers' association and the Chicago Ship
pers' association. These organizations In
clude In their membership nearly all the
Important commercial Interests of the state,
and they have sent copies of their work to
Washington and to other commerchil bodies
over tho country with requests for opinions
and suggestions.
The Chicago men believe the Interstate
Commerce commisxion should be given
power to declare any rate complained of
unrranonable- and unjustly discriminative.
Also to declare against any regulations
governing the rate or any facilities con
cerning which sre the source of complaint.
The Chlcagoans desire the commission have
the right to declare a rate regulation rr
classification which shall be reasonable and
Just to all parties. The comnvVslon Is to be
able to fix an equitable relation between
one city and anothe" and one district nnd
another. Also between commodities, and
where a dispute rises over a Joint rate to
fix the proportion due each railroad. Where
the carriers voluntarily reduce a rate, giv
ing only five days' notice, tho commission
Is to be empowered to forbid the railroad
from raising the rate without forty-five
days' notice. The commission is to be given
power to enforce Its orders. Regarding the
adjudication of disputes under the commis
sions, the Chicago association wishes the
law so framed as to give a speedy appeal
and a speedy determination of the question.
The law should be simple and lead to quick
settlement without chance for technicali
ties. The associations suggest the appoint
ment of additional federal judges, whose
first duty shall be the hearing of these mat
ters. The Illinois shippers and manufactur
ers end by a resolution that If congress
shall fall to enact laws giving proper relief
that the president be memorialized to call
a special session.

CONSECRATIONJS NECESSARY
Rev. Dr. Jenks Trajes That as the Dnty
of the True Chris
tian. Ther was a fair sized audience present
at the First Baptist church last evening
at the union evangelical service held there.
Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks delivered the ser
mon. He took as his theme the consecra
tion, first of our souls and then of our
bodies to Christ and His work. He be
sought everybody to place themselves upon
the mercies of God and to do their duty
and bring in members to the church, say
ing It' we have to Import religion of a
sensational form then we were better with
out any religion, for it does not Inspire a
true belief.
Rev. Mr. Jenks said the greatest preacher
In the United States today Is out president,
because he preaches the strenuous life.
The strenuous life is if you believe in a
thing stand up for It. If you believe in
a thing hold and keep it constantly before
you and do not be afraid of your beliefs,
but proclaim them to the world. This is
the kind of a life that Christ held up and
lived up to.
In our life today we no longer place a
living sacrifice upon the altar as was done
In days gone by, nor will the placing of
a coin in the contrlbulion box when it Is
pafsed around save your soul. Ood de
mands that a living satrlftce be made; that
Is, wo must consecrate ourselves to Christ
What is consecration? Consecration Is like
unto the life of a soldier who In time of
wnr giaaiy. gives his life for his con.,r.
Now we should rive our lives to Christ, for
mat is L'nrisuan consecration.

"I have been unable to find one fire
proof warehouse In Omaha," remarked F.
W. Fltxpatrlck, chief executive officer of
the International Association of Building
Commissioners, Inspectors and Consulting
Architects. Mr. Fltxpatrlck Is spending the
day here, coming from Chicago to look over
the building conditions here. His visit was
particularly prompted by the Are of last
Saturday night. The association which
Mr. Fltipatrlck represents is Interested In
the establishment of more stringent build
ing ordinances and the enforcement there-
'of, as well as to promote the erection of
fire-proof buildings.
"The general tendency of the American
people to construct their buildings without
flre-prooflng costs them annually an ap
proximate sum of UflO.cOO.OOO for Insurance,
maintenance of Are departments and other
expenses. It has been estimated the peo
ple pay $3 for every tl received from the
Insurance companies," says Mr. Fltx
patrlck. "We need better building laws
and construction throughout the land. Con
sidering the Insurance, life of building and
repairs, a fire-proof building, well built and
costing In the first Instance perhaps 10 per
cent more than wood, proves not only the
safer, but actually the cheaper Investment,
not only to the city and people In general,
but to the individual investor. Inside of five
years.
Other Cities Waking I'p.
"Many things pass for fireproof con
struction and too often the people are de
luded into a false sense of safety. It Is
encouraging to note that last year forty
two cities either passed new building ordi
nances or materially amended the old ones.
Another thing our association Is trying to
eliminate, and that is the granting of spe
cial privileges to builders by city authori
ties, which privileges frequently Jeopardise
the lives of occupants of buildings, to say
nothing of the destruction of the building
itself or the adjoining property.
"Last year the estimated- total fire loss
in the country was 1230,000,000, and even
subtracting from this amount $82,000,000 for
the Baltimore fire, je have left a sum of
$20,000,000 more than the average fire loss
for the country for the three previous
years, and out of all proportion to the
total amount of money invested in new
buildings. More fireproof construction and
rigid building laws, strictly enforced, is
one of the paramount issues of the day in
this country.
"I candidly say that Omaha Is deficient
in fireproof buildings for a city of Its sise
and pretentions."
MAYOR MOORES AND FIREMEN
Meaaaare from Phoenix I'rares that
More Men Be Added to the
City's Force.
Mayor Moores, who Is at Phoenix, Arts.,
to escape the rigors of a Nebraska winter,
has telegraphed a long message to Acting
Mayor Zlmman and the councllmen, urging
them to provide money for the manning of
all the new fire apparatus and the opening
of the new fire station at Eleventh and
Jackson streets. The telegram reads as fol
lows:
The exnected has happened. Saturday
night's tire Is a puullo calamity to our city.
Trusting you will receive this message in
the spirit it Is sent, I respectfully suggest
that you at once arrange for the money to
fully equip the four pieces of fire appara
tus, engine, hook and ladder truck and
two hoBe wagons, that were out of service
Saturday nlt't because of no firemen to
man them. Klre Chief Salter has requested
iha Hnurd of Fire and Police Commission
ers to appoint twenty-seven firemen for this
purpose, out tne uoara nesuaies aooui ap
pointing the same on account of no funds
being availalile. This Is an emergency
case, where prompt action is demanded.
Please authorise the board to appoint these
mn atiri fullv souId this apparatus for Im
mediate service; then find funds with which
to pay the same. You can use some of
the scavenger money legally, I think. In
this emergency case if not, do it any way.
I am informed the legislature win increaae
our fire fund limit to $JOO,000, but thia will
not be available until next year. We are
bound to face an overlap In our fire fund
of at least 160,000 thia year, but the ta

BOLD HOLDUP AT NOONDAY
O. H. Welch from Little RocU Tells
Strange Story of Excltlna
Esperlenee. If the atory of O. H. Welch, a young man
from Little Rock. Ark., be true, he waa the
victim of a cruel assault and daring rob
bery at Nlnteenth and Vinton street about
1 yesterday afternoon. Welch Hays he
came to Omaha Monday from Little Rock
with nearly $200, having drawn 1248 from a
bank at that place, where he worked as a
machinist and saved hla earnings. He took
up with a stranger In a saloon near the
Burlington station, paid for a shave and
haircut for his companion and then hired
a alelgh, in which the two proceeded to
make the rounds.
Reaching Nineteenth and Vinton streets,
Welch alleges the atrangcr tried to take
$180 from hla pocket and, meeting with re
sistance, pummelled Welch's face, which
bears unmistakable evidence of assault.
Several pedestrians say they saw the men
scuffling In the alelgh, but dVl not at the
time attach much importance to the affair.
The stranger drove oft with the sleigh at a
rapid gait.
While Welch acknowledges he had been
drinking, he firmly maintains he was
robbed and assaulted, although on further
questioning by Detectives Ferris and Dunn
at the police station reduced the amount he
claims to have loHt.
While the police do not attach much cred
ence to Welch's story, yet the matter la
This your head to the left?
Then there's no use trying. It's too late! Noth
ing in the world can make hair grow on a bald
scalp that has been smooth and shiny for years.
It's too late! No use trying now!
Or is this yours to the right?
Good. Only look out for dandruff! It leads
straight to baldness. But there's use trying now,
for Ayer's. Hair Vigor cures dandruff, keeps
the scalp clean and healthy, and checks falling hair.

exploding of a lamp in the hallway on the
second floor of the building, an old frame
three-story affair, and when Omaha waa

house. Owing to the inflamable character
of the building it waa thought at flrat it
would be burned to the ground, but the
firemen by quick and strenuous work suc
ceeded In checking the fire before any grt
amount of dumage waa done. The partition
between a couple of the 'rooms and the
ceiling between the second and third
stories were burned out and considerable
damage done to the furniture by the are
