Masons, and ettn only Masons In th cant.
Mr. Arnold has cloned contract! In the
larger cities of the woat. and he nlrcftl;
haa assurances of a number of Importint
data In the eaat. The Masonic drama 1"
known by the title of "An Eighteenth
Century Lodge" and It has attracted wl1?
attention In Europe. The first production
Is to be given ,ln Detroit In 8ptembnr
under the direction of Mr. Arnold.
The piay was written by Joseph E. Mor
combe, editor of The Amrrloan Freemason,
published at Storm Lake, la. The text
waa written after Jons; and careful search
Into all the Masonic history available, for
the period In which the scenes are laid
about 1723. The first few years following
the establishment Of the (rand lodge of
England. In 171", are vary obscure, and It
was necessary, therefore, to glean closely
In a singularly barren field before attempt
to as made to arrangr the material!.
Nor waa It Maso-.ic history alone that
had to be consulted It wss nosrary to
know whnt manr.o.- of llf o ths"1 old M;s ni
lived, what topics tiy c"l?cursd, their
humors and matters of concern.
Of Dramatic Mrrlt.
Morcombe Is said . to have produced a
strong work having coherence, constant
Interest and dramatic unity. All that had
icctirtcnre !n a I d?e of that time Is made
use of and handled to the best advantage.
The quaint and strongly contrasting char
acters Introduced give opportunity for es
eellent dialogue and Interesting situations.
In the first scene, where the brothers
gather, there Is gossip, whispering of secret
conspiracies n the political world without,
the recital of portents and wonders, while
ivtr the broad humor of the period has
showing. Th second act Is occupied by
the lodge meeting proper, and here the
serious purpose of the play haa Its develop
ment. In tha third scene, or division.
"From Labor to Refreshment," the con
vivial features of old-time Masonry hare
amusing Illustration. The toasts and songs
and., table talk combine In easy but accu
rate reproduction ofhts once Important
function of the lodge.
The play is Intensely human, say Its
t-rltlca. Tba author haa made of his char
acters living men, not mere figures used
to convey a desired lesson. Blr Roger's
devil-may-care spirit, his qulpa and rail
lery; the slow-moving humor of Thlok
pennla; Chepeman'a reiterated complaints,
"as an olda Mason," a the badness of the
'ale and tha falling away of tha craft;
Quickly' signs) and wonders, and all tha
xldltlee and sincerities of this company at
the Thatched House . Tavarn these serve
to show what manner of men were our
Uasonia ancestor. ..
."The piece baa been, tried out and given
several presentations by "The Craftsman"
of the University of . Mlohlgan.
- Worldwide Interest- has been arou d In
the play and' several English Maaonlo pub
lications haw expressed. a desire that the
drama be produced In the British Isles.

Doctors and County,,
Board Disagree Over
Office at the Hospital
Advisory Board of Physicians Dis
pleased Whan Commissioners
Ignore Advice.
The Board of County Commissioners and
the advisory board and medical staff con
nected with the county hospital had &
rtu:iny session Monday night over the ap
polntment of a house physician at the
county hospital.
Die. J. P. Lord. F. W. Lake. H. P. Ham
ilton, H. B. LeMere and a dozen ,or more
other men prominent in Omaha medical
circles registered a strong protest against
the refusal of the commissioners to recog
nise Dr. A. W. Ward, who was recom
mended by the' advisory, board for the po
sition, to succeed Dr. L.) A. DeLaney, who
resigned May 1. Dr. E. J. Gillespie waa
appointed by the commissioners and. has
been acting In the capacity of house
physician since the first of the month.
The sentiment expressed by. the doctors
waa to the effect that any advisory board
was useless if Its advice was not considered.
The majority of the board Is standing pat,
although Commissioners Lynch and.Elsas
ser are with the doctors. They admit that
they voted for Gillespie,, but say that they
did so with the understanding that the
appointment was only that of an Interne
-1 commissioner .Eisasser,, . who was re
ported as absent when the vote on changing
the marble for the new court house waa
taken, arrived In time to register his "no','

Spinal Meningitis !
Becomes Epidemic
Mysterious Disease Attacks Many Vic
tims Physicians Making a
Combined Fight.
An epidemic of spinal meningitis is rag
ing over Omaha. The Board of Health Is
constantly receiving reports of new cases
nd the medical profession of the city has
nlted to center all sclentlflo power against
the spread of the disease.
This Is the substance of a statement
made last night by a prominent Omaha
physician, who In the last three weeks has
come in contact with ten cases and knows
of as many more now being treated
throughout the city.
St. Joseph's' hospital alone last week
housed three victims of the disease. One
f these, Elizabeth Rama, ' a 6-year-old
girl, could not be saved, although she was
treated by the only effectual remedy known.
The physicians who attended the girl said
the child's life could have been saved by
the operations had not the disease gotten
such headway before It was diagnosed as
spinal meningitis.
Cerebral' spinal meningitis cases," the
physician said, "have been few In Omaha
until this spring, when an appalling epi
demic was started.'' The disease Is more
contagious and much deadlier than small
pox. There Is only one remedy for it the
Flexner serum.
Dr. Connell' of the health ' board has
ordered hospitals to place patients suffer
ing from the disease In separate wards
a,nd every sanitary measure taken to pre
vent Its spread. A quarantine more rigid
than for smallpox Is, necessary to fight
tha epidemic "
"The disease comes on Its victim very
suddenly',' 'a physician : explained, "and
takes but three or 'four --days to prove
fatal. The sufferer lapses Into a coma
about thi second day and so remains for
two or three days. The coma Is'followed by
convulsions and death. The Injection of
the Flexner . serum into the spnal column
la the' only ore -for the malady. The re
sults from this, however, are marvelous.

Trees to Help Make
Prisoners Happier
Park Board to Beautify City Jail on
the Bequest of Captain
Henry Dunn.
Upon a request from Captain Henry Dunn
of the police department, William R.
Adams, superintendent of parks, has been
ordered to plant trees In front of the city
jail at Eleventh and Dodge streets. Such
action was ordered by the Board 6f Park
commissioners, and Adams was directed
to get busy at once.
' Dunn, who Is' a lover of all things beau
tiful, thinks that the surroundings of the
city bastlla, where - guests are housed
against their1 will, should be approved. He
also opined that the trees were about the
mopt becoming addition In the way of
Improvements and communicated his mus
ings to the. Park board. '
The members took his view of the situ
ation and directed the park commissioner
to confer with the captain and plant the
trees. A resolution to this effect was passed
by the board. '

PIGURIS FROM NEW DIRECTORY
Directory Contains 71.1U3 ernes.
Which la Multiplied by Two and
One-Quarter for Women
and Children.
The population of Omaha, according to
the latest city directory lust out. Is 159.9S2.
as against the official enumeration of j
LU.iW. - 1
Between the two the average Omttian is
more willing to accept the directory fig'
ures, since they are more carefully and
systematically compiled than those sub
mitted by the official enumerators, who
are untrained In this line of work and
who find it too easy to skip Isolated sta
tistics. The manager of the Omaha City Direc
tory company explains his enumeration as
follows:
After a careful count of the names of In
dividuals In this dliectory, excluding firms,
corporations and the like, the total number
In tound to be 71.M3. The actual popula
tion. Including women and children whose
namus do not appear In the directory, used
to he I'i timos the number of names repre
sented. Lately, however, owing to the vast
Increase In the number of women employed
In the factories, stores end office!, and the
fact that a considerable number of the
young men attracted to Omaha during the
last few years are unmarried, or have not
yet been Joined by their families, the mul
tiple Is reduced to 2H. arrived at from an
analysis of a sufficient number of names
upon which to base an estimate. The pop
ulation of Omaha Is therefore 15A.9S2.
These figures exceed the number an
nounced by the United States census, and
properly so. The directory canvass Is ma1
under a duplicate system, which reduces
to a minimum the chance ot omissions.
The work Is done by men who are trained
to it and who follow it as a permanent oc
cupation, and the canvass is not confined
to the city limits, but embraces all of the
adjacent territory, which Is one community
In every sense except political boundaries
and taxation. Omaha also has a great
number of people residing In the most re
mote and peculiar locations, many of which
might easily be overlooked In a single
enumeration. Then the fact should not be
lost .sight of that since the federal census
was' taken the population of Omaha has
been Increased by an Influx of new Inhabi
tants, conservatively estimated at 3.000,
ho have come In response to the excep
tional inducements offered by Omaha man
ufacturers or the unsurpassed advantages
possessed by Omaha as a city of homes,
health and prosperity.
The South Omaha directory contains
14.801 names, which indicates a population
of 33.302. making a combined population of
193.2M for the two cities, which for all
business purposes Is one city.
The Omaha directory contains 1,081 pages.
Of these 1,& pages are devoted to the al
phabetical llBt of names, forty-eight to the
miscellaneous portion 176 to the classified
business directory and 202 to South Omaha.
The features which have given such em
inent satisfaction in the past are given
as full and complete as hererotore ana
several new ones added, and It is believed
that the 1911 edition of the Omaha direc
tory will receive much praire from Its
patrons and the thousands of others in
this section who will have occasion to re
fer to Its pages. Although a complete list
of residents, with their occupations and
addresses.' Is an absolute necessity In a
city of this size and magnitude, the Omaha
directory Is nevertheless more than a mere
list of names and addresses. It Is a com
plete and accurate guide to the city, Its
people and their government and institu
tions, organizations and societies. . It Is a
complete record of all the persons and
places of the day and becomes a perma
nent history of the city and the people.

' NO MORE GRAY HAIR
It Is easier to preserve the color tt
the hair than to restore It, although
It is possible to do both. Our
grandmothers understood the secret.
They made and used a "saxe tea,"
and their dark-, glossy hair Ions;
after middle life was due to this
lact. Our mothers have gray halra
before they are fifty, but they are be
ginning to appreciate the wlgdom of
our grandmothers In using "sage tea"
for their hair, and are last following
cuit.
The present generation has the ad
vantage of the past In that It can get
a ready to use preparation called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. As a scalp tonio and color
restorer, this preparation Is vastly
superior to the ordinary "sag. tea"
made by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guaran
tee that the money will be refunded
if it fails to do exactly as represented.
This preparation la offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and la
recommended and sold by
