(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 14. Special.) Employes
nf the utata received their warrant! dur
ing the last few days Just the game ai
though there mi no bank flurry on, but
they are getting very little money on the
warrant. Treasurer Brian la anxious to
hold on to what cash he has on hand and
rn payment of the warrants he (Ives a
check. Aa a matter of fact, the holder of
the warrant could force the treasurer ti
register the same unless the cash was
forthcoming-, but so far no on has shown
a disposition to start anything and all are
taking what Is offered them by the treas
urer without even discussing the matter.
The officials of the State university sent
over yesterday for the salary warrants for
Ihe tcarjiers and employes, but Deputy
Auditor Cook refused to deliver any except
those which were for work done In Oc
tober. There l no money on hand In the
temporary university fund with which to
pay these warrants, and they have to be
registered and then draw Interest. Mr.
Cook figured there Is no reason why the
state should Issue the warrants In advance
and then have to pay Interest on them.
They will not be delivered until the. last
day of the month.
rnrulnf Board Meets Today.
The State Canvassing board will meet
tomorrow to canvass the returns of the
recent election, made by the various county
clerks. Owing to the fact that several
county clerks failed to mall In duplicate
election returns to the secretary of state,
as requested, the offlclcal returns cannot
be published until the board meets tomor
row. The board will be delayed some by
reason of the county cletks falling to act,
as the members will have to fill In the miss
ing counties on the tabulation made from
the duplicate returns, and will also have
to total the vfflo cast for the various can
didates. This heretofore lias been done In
advance from the duplicate returns.
Reception to Tenants.
Mr. and. Mrs. A. J. Sawyer entertained
the residents of the Orlo, the new Sawyer
apartment house at Floral Park, last night.
The occasion was out of the ordinary In
that a landlord entertained thirty-two fam
ilies, all residents of one building. The
object was to bring the residents of the
Orlo together so that they might know
each other. A musical program was carried
out and a short talk was made by Mr.
Sawyer, who. In the course Of his remarks,
told of the numerous suggestions that had
been made to him while the Orlo was 4n
course of construction. Inasmuch as thirty
two families were living In the building, a
total of eighty-nine people, and no one had
yet complained to him of any trouble, he
was of the opinion the Orlo was a success.
The Orlo Is constructed along the lines of
the apartment houses In Los Angeles, and
was built to accommodate small families.
It Is the first bouse of the kind built In
the state.

Reception for I. Callen Root.
A reception will be given in honor of J.
Cullen Root, head of the WoodmAi of the
World, on the occasion of his sixty-third
birthday, at Representative hall, December
6, at which Governor Sheldon and others
will speak. The affair will be given by
the local camps of the Woodmen of the
World and other fraternal orders. During
the day Mr. Hoot will be the guest of the
Commercial club.
Weight or Food l'arkages.
Governor Sheldon has asked Attorney
General Thompson to write an opinion on
tt.e section of the Pure rood law relating
to the stamping of the net weight on food
packages. The Pure Food commissioner
holds that all packages must be stamped
with the net weight whether sold by the
pound or package. The food commissioner
Is tils own press agent and he threatened
the representative of a packing house with
unfavorable newspaper comment If the
packing house Uld not at once accept his
Interpretation of ths law. This informa
tion Mr. Johnson gave out hlmrclf and the
result of his remarks to the packer, be
IwUuve, will be that the packing house
will accept his Interpretation of the law
without having the matter paesud on by
the courts.

Lid Goes on In Hall County.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Nov. 2.-(Spe-clal.)
For the first time In many years
every saloon In the county was closed
today, rear doors having hitherto been
open. The action Is the result of an agi
tation wnicn began late in the summer
and resulted not -so much from the man
agement of the saloons In this city, which
are generally conceded to be In the hands
of as good a set of men as are In the bus
iness in tho state, barrrhg one or two ex
ceptions, as from the Sunday excursions
and the reported behavlorof the crowds
attending resorts along Wood river. Resi
dents of Doniphan, across the rive, were
the original movqrs and a Law and Order
league, comprised of citizens of all parts
of the county. Insisted- on th closing of
all places on Sunday. In recent years, by
vote ef the municipality, through candt
duclos and non-partisan platforms, gamb
ling features were first eliminated to
gether with the wine-rooms, all slot ma
chines having long since been removed,
the throwing of dice prohibited, and at
the last election It was quite expressly
understood that with these policies In
vogue tho regulations In force should con
tinue. It was urged with th league that
further action be taken after the expira
tion of the present licenses, but the league
declined to take any consideration of those
Implied contracts. The saloon men of the
city are not opposing the order, but com
plying therewith without a fight, also re
moving the screens, as requested. Nor is
there any effort to retaliate by closing
other places accustomed to be open on
Sunday, although also In violation of law.

endeavoring to remedy tho situation with
regard to the lack of supply of water in

tions have so far been made: At seven
feet, sandy loam and mixed; from 7 to i
feet, sand and gravel; 99 to lot feet, clay;
104 to 'Jji feet, blue sandstone; 207 to 213
feet hard blue limestone; 212 1 to 720 feet,
blue shale, soft and hard, varying; 720 to
.27 feet, hard rock; 727 to 7(1 feet, soap-
atone; 741 to 755 feet, whitish substance.
under examination; 756 to 840 feet, blue
clay. I
The latter figure Is the present depth
reached. It la not expected that a flow
win now be reached at less than 1,100
feut, but there Is such a demand by th
cillxens that th experiment be followed
up at least to the depth of J.Ou feet that
the drilling will no doubt proceed. Night
and day shifts are at work. Reports of

WOMEN LAY CORNERSTONE
Day of Thanksgiving- for Young
Woman's Christian Association.
MASKS THAT OMASA IS BETTER
Exercises at Iloyd Theater and Rolld.
Ing le Largely Attended
Cornerstone Fall of His
torical Records,
The cornerstone of the new Young
Women's Christian association building
was laid yesterday afternoon. A large
crowd filled the Boyd theater to hear the
preliminary part of the exercises and a
still larger crowd gathered at Seventeenth
stret-t and St. Mary's avenue to see the
actual placing of the stone.
Mrs. W. P. Harford, president ot the as
sociation presided. In the theater the
center of the stage was occupied by. a
grand piano on each sldo of which were
grouped the members of "the large choir
of Ben Stanley. The right side of the stage
was occupied by members of the board of
directors and the secretaries. At the left
side sat Mrs. W. P. Harford, president of
the association; Mrs. Emma F. Bycrs, gen
eral secretary and Mrs. George TUden,
chairman of the building committee. Back
nf them were a number of the local min
isters. After the doxology and scripture
response. Rev. Dr. J. W. Conley offered
prayer. The Te Deum In B minor was then
rendered by Ben Stanley nnd the choir.
Means a Better Omaha.
Isaac Carpenter, president of the Youn?
Men's Christian association, brought greet
Ing from that organization. He declared
that Omaha Is not only a greater Omaha
than ever before but thnt the H.tHW.ooO
spent for Protestant churches In ten years
and the large sum left by Count Crelghton
for Christian Institutions prove that It Is
a better Omaha as ell.
Rev. S. D. Dutcher, president of the
Omaha Ministerial union, representing the
ministers of the city, pointed out the differ
ence In the status of woman today and
a few hundred or a few thousand years
ago. Then she wss considered a chattel
and some extremists of the time mourned
the fact that she had any place at all In
the world. Today her position Is exactly
the opposite and In the most enlightened
nations she occupies a place equal In so
ciety and often superior In good works to
that occupied by man. Ho pointed out that
the Institutional work of all tho city's
churches Is done In the two organizations
for young women and young men and that
theso are most valuable adjuncts of the
churches.
Mrs. George TUden, chairman of tho
building committee and a member of the
hoard of directors of the association since
It started spoke wllh authority .In telling
of the growth of tho organization and of
the campaign for funds for the new build
ing. Review of Association Work.
"Fourteen years ago In April the Young
Women's Christian assoclptlon was or
pan! zed In Omaha," she aid. ''Its growth
has been most encouraging, not to say
marvelous. It has more than kept pace
with the city's growth. Thrice we have
been compelled tp -seek larger quarters.
The charter membership mi ISO. Last year
the membership reached 2,"50.
"The movement for tho new building ha
a small beginning and. far a long time the
work of securing any considerable sum of
money Beemed almost visionary. Two years
ago in July we secured an option on -the
corner of Seventeenth street and 8t. Mary's
avenue. We secured the money and bought
the lot for 15,0tfO. It? Is in size one and
two-thirds of a city lot. The building will
occupy a little more than one-half of it,
thus leaving ample space on the west sida
for light and air and a little plot which
will make a pretty' town.
Everyone Helped the Women.
"The campaign for the money was con
ducted with help from everybody. The min
isters preached for us; the business men
co-operated most admirably; never before
had the newspapers given so much Bpace
and time to a thing as they gave to us.
Is it any wonder, then, that we succeeded?
Somo young omen started out to get
JlO.Oto and ended up with JC6.000. In Feb
ruary, lao" we had the required sum of
over $100,000. The subscriptions varied from
18 cents which a newsboy gave to $10,000
given by George Hoagland. The second
largest sum was the $7,000 glvfn by Mr.
and Mrs. Guy C. Barton and the third
wss $2,000 from Mrs. S. H. H. Clark' of St.
Louis."
Mrs. Emma F. Byers, secretary of the
association, told something about the In
terior of the new home for the young
women In a way that made every man
present wish he had been born a woman
and thus made eligible to share In the com
forts of the building.
Describes IVevr Home.
"The basement, which Is so high that
It might be taken for the first floor, will
be occupied by the gymnasium," said Mrs.
Byers. "This will be fitted with the most
modern atpliances. There will also be
btiths, lockers and the model laundry
there. On the first floor proper will be
a corridor 50x13 feet, the business offices,
employment bureau, bouiding house di
rectory, a room for tlfcd mothers to rest
with their babies, and even a bureau where

"We havo been asked why we do not
have dormitories on the upper floors.
There are several good reasons. The main
nation, perhaps. Is that we could accom

dormitories, and by giving the floors to
the purpose we have planned, good may
be done to ten thousand."

Aj :tultuie, has been experimenting for
years with the cultivation of the tea
plant. Seeds and cuttings from Ceylon.
India, China and Japan havo been tried
with varied success. It was found that
th climate of South Carolina Is appar
ently an Ideal one for tea cultivation, and
year after year congress appropriated a
sum of money to continue the efforts
toward making tea culture commercially
successful In this country. It Is now some
thing over Vwenty-flve years since the first
attempt In this direction was made under
the auspices of the then commissioner of
agriculture. From the flret It was readily
seen that the tea plant would thrive In
America, but not until a year or two ago
was American tea placed on the market.
Today there are half a dozen or mare
varieties offered to the tea drinker, and
the quality la excellent. But It Is th
"tabloid" tea which Is the novelty. The
Summerville farm Is sending out small tin
boxes of tea compound made Into tublets,
each of which Is sufficient to make on
rup of the cheering beverage. The box
Itself Is in the form of a cube, about two
Inches on each surface, and contains
enough tea to furnish an ordinary family
for a month. The Department of Agricul
ture ha distributed a great many sample
boxes, and It la believed this new form of
compressed tea will b widely used as soon
as Its merits become known.
In th meantime, tea culture I being ex
tended In Texas and Florida, and the pros
pects are that th United States will, be

Do you know that baling powder undergoes a chemical reaction in die
process of baking?
It's a fact The nature of the original substance in a baking powder such as
Calumet is entirely different in tlie baking. One of the greatest authorities on
chemistry in the country, found that, "a loaf of bread made from a quart of
flour, leavened with cream of tartar baking powder contained 45 grains more
Rochelle Salts, than is contained in one Siedlitz Powder.
Remember, tltis drug is not m the can. It is formed by the chemical reaction
that takes place in the baking.
That is why so many baking powders which produce impuritirs in the baking,
can be advertised as 'absolutely pure". It may be pure ki the can, but it is
not necessarily pure in the food.
Calumet Baking Powder is absolutely free from every impurity. Food leavened
with it contains no Tartaric Acid, Rochelle Salts, Alum, Lime or Ammonia
it is Chemically Correct We will give $1000 to any one who finds any

Washington where he could get It for less

11 cent on the Isthmus and 20 cents In
Washington. A second cut rib roast can
lie had In Panama or Colon at 15 cents,
while the price In the capital city Is 33 per
tent hhjlier. Fresh eggs were quoted on
the Isthmus at 33 cents as against 42 cents
Id Washington on the same date. In al

a tax of 6 per cent. The bankers' plan,
therefore, permitted larger Isbucb upon an
average lower rate than the Chamber of
Commerce plan. Both these proposals are
declared by their advocates to be con
servative. Both plans require a certain
percentage of bonds to bo held by a
national bank In order to obtain the addi
tional clrculatlun, the object of this pro
vision being to prevent any decllno In the
market value of bonds by the develop
ment of a preference for the new form of
circulation. Piactlcally all the bonds now
pledged by the 'bank to secure circulation
would be taken car of under either of
these two plana.
The plan of further Issues upon new
types of bonds, which are not now accept
able under the law, finds support among
those who behove that bank notes should
not be Issued except upon specific se
curity, which is out of tho custody of the
bank. The usual measure of this kind pro
vides for additional Issues upon state and
municipal bonds acceptable to the secre
tary of the treasury and In some cases
upon railroad bonds which comply with

assets, would cast discredit upon the enr
tire system. It would then become neces
sary, as in the days before the civil war,
to examine every bank note received In
yorder to make sure that It did not coma
from a bank which had failed with defect
ive security for Its notes. This difficulty
would be obviated by the creation of a
guaranty fund, as under the plans of the
chamber of commerce and the Bankers'
association, but supporters of the latter
plans declare that It would bo a superla
tive provision to adopt both forms of se
curity and that the guaranty fund affords
the most complete protection against scat
tered losses. One of the questions which
Is likely to arouse serious discussion Is
whether a cash retierve shall be required
against tho proposed notes. A reserve of
the same amount as that required against
deposits Is provided by the bankers' plan,
and Is considered Important by Its sup
porters In order to keep the Issues of notes
linked to the gold and prevent indefinite
expansion and excessive gold exporc.
