Merchants of South Omaha in School Fight Resolution Present! Seven Reason! to School Board Why High Appropriation Should Not Be Cut. Member* of th* South Omaha Merchant*’ association hav* aligned themselves to fight th* proposed fl25,000 cut In the appropriation for a new South High school. A resolution to petition th* echool board to complete th* school accord ing to th* plana and specifications that were exhibited prior to the elec tlrfh was adopted at a meeting of . merchant* held January 20. According to th# original plans, the building was to cost $800,000. A ■oving is to be effected, according to reports, by eliminating the auditor , lum unit from the building program. , Cites Seven Reasons, t' The association registers Its pro *"st against the appropriation cut for the following reasons: First, the bonds were voted by the I people, especially by residents of | South Omaha because of the repre sentation that the complete unit would be built at South High. Second, the elimination of the audi torium unit from the building pro gram at the present time would In volve an expense of $25,000 extra when the work is finally done. Auditorium Needed. Third, the need of an auditorium on the South Side is Imperative as the present auditorium in its dilapidated condition does not accommodate the persons who wish to attend school functions. Fourth, In the 10 years since an nexation there has been spent but a ■mall amount of money on South Side territory. Practically none of that has been spent on South High school. At the same time South Omaha tax payers have been taxed to provide for the remodeling of Central High school and for the construction of Technical ■nd North High schools. Fifth, they* woulud be an unjust discrimination If the district In the ■outh of the city were provided with only a partially finished high school while other portions of the city have fully finished and perfeetfy equipped high schools. Sixth, the completion of South High school as planned would not Inter fere with the board's grade school pro gram as this was contemplated at the time that program was announced and was a part of It. First Plea In 10 Tears. Seventh, the finance for th# com pletion of this high school unit can be completed by deferring work on other high schools that hava splendid equipment already, and at least equal izing the equipment of South High with that of other schools before In venting any more In older achools. “This is the first time that South Omaha has asked for anything of any importance from th* school board during the past 1# years,” state* the association's petition. “We Insist that w# are entitled to th* utmost consid eration. not only because of our patience, but because of the fact that the money Invested In equipment for larger and better school work on the South Side Is money Invested where It will produce large results In edu cational and civic betterment.” Armour Employes Conduct Election Members Named to Cnnfer _ence Board of Packing Plant.

But let him try, if he will, to reach the summit of Dong's peak. Colorado, in the dead of winter. This has been accomplished only twice. On January 10, 1922, Jack Moomaw, a foreat ranger with sinews of steel and an endurance hardly human, scaled the peak on skis from the south slope. On January 12, last. Miss Agnes Vaille, secretary of the Denver Cham ber of Commerce, and Walter Ktener, a Swiss mountain climber, ascended the abrupt east face of the peak and reached the summit, safely. The re turn trip cost Miss Vaille her life, and that of one of the rescue party. Kiener was half frozen by the terrible wind which whipped him mercilessly, and the blinding blizzard of the gaunt granite passes of the east precipice. Omahan Owns Cabin There. W. S. Wolfe, 1110 South Sixtieth street, Omaha, owns a log cabin In Kstes park and is familiar with the region, winter and summer. He Bays he would no more think of climbing the peak in January than of swimming the Atlantic ocean, or crossing the Sahara desert with a half-pint flask of water. In 1800 Zebulon Tike turned back from a futile attempt to scale the peak which now bears his nams. To his comrades he said: “No man can ever reach the sum mit of that monstrous mountain." Editor Doubted Possibility. Several hunderd thousand persons have visited the top of Pikes peak since then, by horse, by carriage, by rail, afoot, by burro and now, won der of wonders, by automobile. In August, 1884, William N. Byers, founder of the Denver Rocky Moun tain News, made an unsuccessful si tempt to climb Long's peak, and on his return to Denver he wrote: "We have been almost all around the peak and we are quite sure that no living creature, unless It had wings to fly, was ever upon Its sum mit. We believe we run no risk in predicting that no man will ever be, though It la barely possible that the ascent can be made." Byers ate those words four ytji^ later, however, when he reached the top with the first party that ever accomplished the feat. Other Fatalities. The Estes Park Trail, a weekly newspaper published In the shadow of Long's peak, contains an account of the six fatalities among the 20,000 persona who have stood upon the summit of the mountain. The first tragedy occurred September 23, 1884, when Miss Carrie Welton, a wealthy young woman of Waterburv, Conn., lost her life following a heroic and successful attempt to reach the top. On her return she fell exhausted, and her guide, Carlyle Lamb, left her at 9.30 p. m. and went fur assistance. The rescue party arlved at sunrise, but Miss Welton was dead from over exertion and exposure, although she was not frozen. Five years later a boy named Stryker of Tipton, la., was In a party of which Lamb was sgaln the guide. He had a revolver In his pocket and on the way down the hammer of the revolver struck a rock and the gun exploded, shooting him In the neck. He died before medical aJd could be summoned. Youth Falls Over Precipice. On July 20, 1921, Gregory Alt buchon, 18, fell over the 2,800 foot precipice, and the body was so deeply Imbedded in the snow at the bottom that It w-as not found until Septem ter 18 of that year by national park rangers. The boy had been camping with his parents who had fo'rhidden him to try to scale the peak. On August 1, 1922, J. E. Kitts of Greeley, Colo., had reached the sum mit and was congratulating himself on the feat when a bolt of lightning struck him. Death was Instantaneous. Only a year and a half ago a young woman, Miss Ethel Ridenour of Kan sas City, Mo., was struck by light ning a mile above Timberltne cabin. Fortunately her companion on the trip was a New York doctor, who almost literally brought her back to life. She was badly burned. Hotel Caretaker Dies. Tn addition to Miss Vaille, the other victim of the most recent tragedy was Harry So'rtland, 22, caretaker of Kong's Peak Inn. With three other men he left to search for Miss Vaille and Wiener when they did not re turn. At Granite Pass, above timber line, he had to turn back, somewhat frozen. He never reached Timber line cabin, and his body was found several days later. There was a seventh disappearance around Kong's peak, the solution of which is never been found. H. F. j Targelt, a wealthy business man of Kos Angeles, left Kong's Peak inn on ■Tune 21, 1921, to go to Chasm lake, a trip of no great difficulty. He never returned, and no trace of him ha.s ever been found. His estate was settled by the courts last year when he was officially proclaimed dead. TTIs hones mav be lying In some forgotten gulch or "lost” canyon, hut they cer tainly are not In the vicinity of Chasm lake, for that neighborhood was thoroughly searched at the ttiVid he vanished. Numerous Omaha mountain climb ers have been to the summit of Kong's peak and have looked down r.n the awesome gorges, bleak and barren of vegetation, where the%e lives have been snuffed out by tfte grim caprices of nature. f-— | Out of the Records J Births and Deaths.

We ran remember when a patient consulting a physician did not be lieve he was getting his money’s worth if ho did not receive some sort of prescription written in Latin. At the present time, when a patient con sults a physician he is not satisfied without a thorough painstaking ex amination accompanied in many in stances by careful laboratory work, that is, blood, urine and other tests. He is satisfied when this Is properly done and accompanied by sound ad vice. Human life, from birth to death, is a biological conflict between the leucocytes of,the body and the mi crobes of disease. During our earlier years, when no organic changes have taken place, we may possibly take risks with com parative Impunity for the time being; such results are impossible later on in life. At the same time, there may ensue some weakening structural change, which is not observable at the time. For example, consider teeth that carry a pus pocket. One may carry such a danger zone with out observable 111 results, but event ually the absorption of pus over comes thaT natural resistance, and then comes disaster. The short-lived athlete, overtraining his organs, is a glaring example of this abuse, Why not conserve our health and go through life contented and happy? Never neglect a chance to determine the conditions of your health with a check up ortce a year. Diphtheria Conquered. To realize the value of prevention, let us consider its bearings from childhood to old age. In childhood, rickets, a disease of malnutrition, can he prevented by proper hygiene and food. A so-called medicine, cod-liver oil, may he needed, but It ia rather a food. Diphtheria, a disease that our forbears properly feared, is now checked. The faflier of the writer was a practitioner from 1S65 to 1909 and during the earlier period of prac tice. lost many cases of diphtheria. I remember going to one family with him, when I was a child, where four children eventually died. Through antitoxin, the mortality rate has been so greatly reduced that such a hap pening would not be considered pos sible, Farther advance has been made by toxin antitoxin as a diph theria preventive. Smallpox still causes fear because of our knowledge of history, hut the cases we see nowadays have been so mitigated by early vaccination that it is no longer the "black scourge." During the Spanish Amercan war. my company of vohuiteera waa *ta tloned at Chlrkamauga Park. Ga., for six months. Kvery man in my com pany, with the exception of the cap tain and first sergeant, had typhoid fever. The first sergeant had recent ly had typhoid and the captain lived in Chattanooga practically all the time. This holocaust could have been avoided then and would be prevented nowadays by proper hygienic meas ures and and by vaccination against typhoid infection. A white person who lives perma nently in the orient learns early that those three great scourges of the east, bubonic plague, amoebic dysen tery and syphilis, can he prevented by proper hygienic precautions. When one of the world filers' planes was stranded in sn Indian lagoon, one of the members of the partv drank some unboiled water while waiting for help. >s a consequence, he suffered severely with dysentery for a w-eek. He had been properly warned. Prevention Is Best. A check upon a person past 30 ' ears old very often shows a trace of sugar in the urine. Diabetes can be prevented by proper dieting. Chronic Interstitial nephritis, or Bright's disease, and hardening of the arteries come on usually in Individ uals past to or 50 years of age, and. in their inclplency, can lie greatly modified, or arrested, by proper diet ing and care. We could write volumes on ven ereal prophylaxis. A great toll upon the efficiency of our troops existed during the war from venereal dis eases. This ran all be prevented. Booka could lie written concerning cancer, and there Is no disease which, with early recognition, can better he prevented from taking its terrible toll of pain and death. We have only touched the high places, but If there is any way that ! the buainess world could realize the 1 benefit* that preventive medicine promtaea. we have not written in ' vain. Tuberculosis will be, in not many years, largely a thing of the past as le smallpox now. The cost of human life in dollars | and cents is appalling and if economy and thrift are the handmaidens of commercial eucceas, It certainly be hooves tiie business world to respond to 'he continual prodding of the medical profession, and hack Up the prevention of disease by personal car# and by public propaganda.

The first session of the legis lature was assembled in the winter] of that year. The first session of court was held In the spring of 1855, less than a year after the govern ment had been organized. On June 29, 1854, President Pierce commis sioned Kenner Ferguson to be chief ot the new territory, and It was under him that the business of settling dif ferences by peaceful methods was set under way. And "there were giants In those days." No one can read the list of men who composed the bar of Omaha and Douglas county from the first with out realizing how well bestowed was the compliment paid by Associate Justice Miller of the supreme court of the United States, who presided over the Eighth circuit In the early 70s. He said that nowhere In the eight states composing the circuit was there an abler bar than In Omaha. It would be difficult Indeed to overmatch anywhere such lawyers as Experience Estabrook. John I. Redick, James M. Woolworth, An drew J, Poppleton, Clinton Briggs, George W. Doane, John D- Howe. Charles H. Brown, Silas A. Strick land and Albert Swartzlander. They were the leaders when Nebraska was admlttei. to statehood In 1867. Elea zar Wakeley, who earae from Wiscon sin In 1857 to be judge here, had re turned to the old state, but was back in Omaha in 1868. to end his days In this city, the veritable Nestor of the bar. After the war came other able and briliant men. Among these was Charles F. Manderson, w-ho served Nebraska 12 years In the United States senate. John Lee Webster, still active and energetic as a lawyer. John M. Thurston, whose gifts as an orator led him to high honor. William J. Connell, a most successful practi tioner. John C. Cowin. genial, debon naire. and dangerous In a lawsuit. Elmer Sclplo Dundy, who was so long judge of the United States dis trlre court. The list grows too long. Thirty-five years ago a group of young attorneys was attracting at tention. Some of these are still with us William F. Gurley, more sedate, hut just as affable. Albert W. Jef ferls. "Big Jeff," a member of con gress. Edgar S Bradley, a success. Henry D Estabrook. who went both far and high. Herhert J. Davis, who became district judge, and whose un timely demise cut short a brilliant career. Arthur N. Ferguson, son of the first chief Justice, who also be came Judge. Ralph W. Rreckenride, who was killed by his own car at Des Moines. Howard M. Baldrlge, who has prospered. William A. (Billy) de Bord, a brilliant man, whose sudden demise shocked a wide ' circle of friends. James P. (Jimmy) English, also destined to a judge of the dis trict court. Richard Abraham Lin coln Dick who w-as a pictur esque figure In local p o 1111 c s. Richard Dean Arden Wade, later a real light of the Cook county bar at Chicago, and Robert E. I.ee llerdmen provided the three-decker names of those days. And there were others, as the lawyers themselves would say, too numerous to mentnin. Gne of the picturesque figures, who w-lll he recalled by the old timers most fondly, was Simeon Bloom. Few who saw this little man, slight and bent, picking his way along the street, ever dreamed that he fought his way through the civil war ns a member of an artillery company. But he did. and was made lieutenant on the field for gallantry in action. Probably no man of the profession was more generally respected or gen uinely loved during hi* lifetime than Kleazar Wakelv. This was bemuse of his uniform, unfailing kindness and consideration for all with whom he came in contact. He could be. and sometimes was. stern as fate itself, hut his natural bent, on thebenrh or before the bar. was to he helpful, even to his adversaries His humor w-as proverbial. One of the best speci mens preserved had to do with a lit tle passage between Judge Wake ley and Judge Georg# W Ambrose. It was over a hook the former had borrowed Judge Ambrose wrote to Judge Wakeley: “Dear Judge: T hold your receipt for Ahbott's Third National Digest, which w-as taken by you some four month* ago. If you have no further use for the hook. I should like It. I often wish to consult It, but •till, If you are not through reading It, I can get along without it." * To this Judge Wakeley mad* this delicious reply: "Dear Ambrose: I herewith comply, under protest, with your untimely request that I should return your book. "Vou remark that you have held my receipt for It for m four months. This la probably true. But If you will read the statute of lim itation In Nebraska, you will observe that It doe* not har a claim, under any written Instrument, until the lajise of five years, leaving you about four year* and eight months atill to reclaim your hook' Why, then this undue precipitancy? "Will you permit we. as a searcher after legal knowledge, respectfully to Inquire If you ran refer me to any respectable legal authority requiring the borrower of a law hook to return It within four months? T have read a large number of cases In my time, and 1 do not remember one In' wlilrh such a proposition l* advanced, al though there may he an occasional dictum to the effect that the borrower la under a inoral obligation to re turn the book ns aoon n» he become* able to buy one for himself. “t’onsldercd upon principle »nd without reference to authority, how would the proposition stand? Is It rea sonable to auppose that a man en gaged In a somewhat active practice can find time In four months to read through all the hooks he bor rows. besides perusing the dally paper*, answering dunning letlers, and keeping up with the Beecher Til- , ton literature. That rase, you will re | member, was going on for some two) month* sfter 1 got your volume "Vou remark that you often wish to consult the book. 1 highly com ( ment that resolution. You would cer tainly find it beneficial to occasion ally read some law. and, If you should become accustomed to it, you would find it comparatively easy: only, don't over do it at first. “The only thing I object to In that paragraph is an implication that I would not allow you to consult the book in ray office. This is unjust. 1 have never refused the owner of a ■book that privilege, even when It has occasioned inconvenience to myself. “In conclusion, permit ms to sug gest that, if you really can not af ford to keep law books for other practitioners to use, it would be a philanthropic thing for you to sell them to some one who can.” A story of Henry I). Estabrook was told me 25 years ago by Earl B. Coe, then of Denver, but since de ceased. Estabrook and Coe formed a partnership on leaving school to practice law in Omaha. The going was anything but good. A ray of light struck the firm when Estabrook was asked to make the Fourth of July oration at Blair. He appared what he regarded as a masterpiece for the occasion. It was to launch the new firm on ttte road to success. Instead of that. It was dud. Fell flat on the ears of the Washington coun ty people who listened to the young man. Estabrook came home dis couraged, and very soon afterward the firm was dissolved. Along In the middle 90s Estabrook was invited to address the Unon League club at Chicago, it being Lincoln's birthday. He exhumed his old Washington county speech, blew the dust off it, and delivered it to the delighted au dience at the banquet table. News papers all over the land reproduced the address, and Estabrook returned to Omaha with a nation-wide reputa tion as an orator. On such little things fame sometimes turns. This Is not all of the annals of the bar in Omaha One of these days I will tell how John C. Cowin horn-j swoggled Timothy J. Mahoney in the famous Libby Beechler trial. Maybe, of the time Julius Smith Cooley play ed Hamlet. In fart, the "judge'' de serves a chapter to himself. It Is a fertile field. Bonds Art* Issued.
