Mr. Brady has been ill since last win

Hopkins hospital at Baltimore in a seri

troubles. His ilineas was aggravated by
his mental condition. Hs loved goo4
living, and next to that he loved the
theater. For years he had been the
most loyal of the old guard of first nlgh-

flamed all over the steel car magnate at

Free Bridge.
.
Although Harry Boanerges Fleharty
wa . successful In having the cases
against two aaloonmen dismissed yester
day by drawing the palladium of the dem
ocratic party In South Omaha around hi
clients. Mayor Tom Hoctor was so little
convinced by the whole perrormance that
he immediately returned to his office and
dictated a letter to the chief of polic?
ordering him to clean up offenders
against the Slocum law. The letter of
the mayor was bald In the extreme and
Informed the chief that he had informa
tion as to the Infraction of the liquor law
In South Omaha
According to the Information of the
mayor saloonkeeper in the city are In
the habit of drawing down blind and
piling boxes in their windows so that
outsider may not see within their place
during the bibulous seance after hour.
The letter also punctures the defense of
Fleharty by giving the chief to under
stand that those who maintain separate
barrooms after 8 p. m. under the pretaxt
that they are being operated solely for
the entertainment of soma club must be
dealt with as law-breakers.
In conclusion Chief of Police Brlggs ha
orders to Investigate and file , charges
against those aaloonmen who opi' their
places of business before 7 a. m. and run
them after I p. m. .
"Saloonkeeper shall be afforded; the
same protection and privilege granted
any other law-abiding- citizen and no
more." eald the mayor yesterday. In
peaking of the matter Mayor Hoctor in
timated that his letter to the chief was
more for record than for any pretentions
ef finding out something new. "It's up
to the Chief, now," said the mayor.
Improvement Planned.
If the plans of Mayor Hoctor and sev
eral heavy property owners ot 8outl
Omaha and Bellevus do not , miscarry,
big improvement will be inaugurate!
before September 1. The one affecting
the city most wilt be the construction of
a macadam road from Missouri avenue
and Thirteenth street to Bel lev ue, where
real estate is beginning to boom. For a
jong Urn the. people In the southern sec
tion of South Omaha have striven to have
the street car line continue down Thir
teenth street to the city limits.
; Another Improvement-suggested by the
mayor was the free bridge to be erected
tit her' at Thirteenth and O streets or
t .Bellevus. The bridge Is admittedly
heeded and it 1 also urged by local real
estate men that It 'Will do much towards
Increasing the value of rest ctate In
this city. y'Uptowh operators are quoted
ss saying tnat a free bridge In the south
end of the Magic City would make an
nexation a necessity and a realisation of
the long dreamed "Greater Omaha.'

The drug habit is no respecter of per

plary mother and wive who become In
different to their famllle; clergymen of
known sincerity and fervor who became
shoplifters and forgers; shrewd, success
ful business men who became nauDers.
because the habit left them at the mercy
of sharper after mental deterioration
had sat in. ' For the immediate action
of morphine by no mean paralyse the
mental faculties. Though when once a
man become addicted to the drug he
1 incapacitated to deal with himself,
yet while he is under Its brief Influence
bis mind Is sharpened and alert .
Under the sway of opium a man doe
venturesome or immoderate things that
be would never think of doing other
wIm; simply because he ha lost the
sense of responsibility. I have had
patients -Who took as much a sixty
grain of morphine in a single dose, an
overdose for about one hundred and fifty
persons, and about fifty grains mors
than tha takers could possibly assimilate
or needed to produce the result an ex
cellent Illustration of how the habit de
stroys all judgment and all sense of pro
portion. ,
Against this "appalling habit, which
can be acquired easily and naturally
and the result of which Is always com
plete demoralization, there is at present
no effective safeguard except that pro
vided by nature Itself, and this is ef
fective only in certain cases.
It happens that in many people opium
produces' nausea, 'and this one thing
akms . has - saved eome from the habit;
for. this type of addiot never experiences
any of the temporarily soothing sensa
tions commonly attributed to the drug.
Vet this pitiful natural safeguard, while
t srely .operative, , is more efficacious
than any other that up to the present'
ha been- provided by man In his heed
lessness, (indifference and greed.
The, Important hablt-formlng drugs . are
opium, cocaine and the small but dan
gerous group, of "hypnotics:" These laat
trionaJ, veronal, sulphonal, medlnsl,
etc are chiefly coal tar products, and
are not always classified a habit-form-tng
drugs, but. they are such, and there
grer many reasons'-Why tn, s!e ot,thenv
should be scrupulously regulated. The
opium derivatives go. under the genera!)
head of Barcotlcs.v Morphine la the. active
principle, and cocaine and heroin ire
the chief derivatives, of opium, , Codeine
is one-eighth the strength of morphine;
heroin Is three times a strong- as "mdrr
p'aine. .'"' fx f.
Though the "general impression is
otherwise, the usera of these two" drugs
acquire the habit, as quickly'. 'andv as
easily as if they took' morphine.; , Many
cough and asthma' preparations contain
heroin, simply for temporary alleviation.
since, like opium, it has no . curative
power wnaiever. Tora time to time I
have had to treat case of Jierotn taking
in ' which the victim had ., thought to
Satisfy their need for an opiate without
forming a habitv . in the case where It
was given A by prescription It was so
given by. the physician In the sincere, be
lief that it would not create a rfigblt.
All this despite ths fact that heroin is
three tlnes stronger than morphine, and
despite the . fact that physicians . know
that anything which will do the Work
of an opiate is an opiate. . Codeine, not
withstanding the, tact that it Is weaker
than morphine, is likewise habit-forming;
yet doctors prescribe it on .account
of Its - relative mildness, even though
they know , that it Is , the cumulative
effect of continued doses' and not ths
quantity ot morphine In the doae, which
results In habit. AS with ' morphine, to
use either of ' these drugs effectively
means In the long run the necessary in
crease of the dose' up to the limit of
physical tolerance. '
The most harmful of all hablt-formlng
drugs Is cocaine. Nothing so quickly
deteriorates lis victim or provides so short
a cut to the asylum for the insane. r
differ from opium In two important
ways. A man does not acquire a habit
from cocaine In the sense that It is vir
tually Impossible for him to leave it off
without medical treatment He can do
so, although hs rarely does. On with
drawal, hs experiences only sn intense
and horrible depression, together with
a physical languor which results in a
sleepiness that cannot be shaken oft
Opium withdrawal,' on tha other hand.
results in sleepiness and extreme nerv
ous and physical disorder. , In action.
too. cocaine is exactly the opposite of
opium, for cocaine is an extreme stimu
lant s Its stimulus wears off quickly
and leaves a corresponding depression,
but it confers half an hour" of capability
of Intense effort. That Is why bicycle
riders, prize fighters and race horses
are often doctored, or "doped," with
cocaine. When cocaine gives out, Its
victim Invariably resorts to' alcohol for
stimulus, . alcoholics, however, when de

Back.in the. days Khen', John J. ,Ihgall
was, Tejflectlhg glory .,pn "Kansas " and
farmers drove for- !mllest and', mijesj" for
the honor o shakliiig. hands wit Treaton
B. Plumb, even before the days when
oxen "were roasted whole in honor of t"ne
proud day when .Mary Elizabeth Lease
held forth to the down-trodden farmers
out at Boschen's Grove, every hamlet
had its orator; and In those dear, dead
days he who is now ex-Senator G. H.
Lamh was our town pride when it came
o plain and fancy oratory. -
Brother' Lamb' was In demand' for plo
nles and Fourth of Julys and Sunday
school conventions, and wneu the politi
cal campaign was on he made speeches
In the country ' school houses, and ' the
speeches he made were some speeches.
The house would always be so crowded
that arms and legs would be sticking out
of the windows, with sn overflow assem
blage on the outside; for his friends cams
out to hear his eloquence and' his political'
enemies were on hand to Interrupt and
deride him, snd say to htm "Aha!"
Once upon a time the central commit
tee sent him down into the hills of Bel
mont, for there seemed to be lgn of
dipping in that bailiwick. ' AnU they
needed a real speech. And a real
speech In those days was not merely an
argument; it was not merely an expo
sition ot the party platform; It was not
merely an eulogy of the' Grand Old
Party the party of Frsmont, and Lin
coln, and Grant and Garfield the party
that had torn the shackles from the legs
of 4,000,000 slaves and Invested them
withexcept the women all ths sacred
rights of citlaenshlp; It was all these
and then some. The right kind of
speech told ot tha unspeakable crime
of democrats how . they had brought on
a long and bloody war, et al, et ceter
and so forth, and held up to scorn, 'de
rision ' and .contumely all . democratic
leaders from the time of T. Jefferson, to
G. fclevaland, Esq.; and It wound . up
with a peroration In which the speaker
plucked handful and handfuls ot verbal
tallfeathers from the American eagle and
gracefully scattered them among the au
dience. And Lamb knew how to make
that sort of speech, and made It, and It
wss some speech, , . . . , . ' ,.
