Mrs. Ormlston Clmnt , the noted Englls
/oformcr , arrived In Omaha yesterday
accompanied by her private secretary , Fran'
5. Johnson. They were at once driven t
the homo of A. 1) . Smith , assistant genera
passenger agent of ttib Ilurllngton road , a
2514 Capitol avenue , where they will b
entertained during their short stay In thl
city. It li a happy coincidence that bring
Mrs. Chant and Edward Everett Hale , tw
lecders In the same line of work of dtlTorcA
continents , together within the tame horn
whllo they arc hero.
Mrs. Chant Is a short , well proper
ttoncd woman. The ruddy glow am
splendid physique so characteristic of English
vtincn ore not wanting. H Is no surprls
that she ilocs not in the least rcaemblo th
pictures of her that have nppeareJ In th
eastern newspapers. In speaking of thes
bo laughed and said that she had Jus
mailed a collection of them to her husband
telling him to note how she had changei
since she had been In this country. Mrs
Chant has n kindly face. Her cxprcssloi
when speaking of something In which sh
Is Interested Is a study In Itself , and 1
nulling If not fascinating.
During the morning she was waited upor
by delegations from the Women's club and
from one of the leading churches. She ha
not definitely decided whether to accept the
Invitations thai have been extended to he
and address the people of Omaha at thl
time , or whether to continue on her way to
Denver and Colorado Springs , and speak her
on her return the latter part of next week.
BUSY TIME IN AMERICA.
Mrs. Chant arrived In America on Octobc
6 , 1S95 , and since that tlmo has dcllvcm
no less than 144 lectures and sermons
"America Through the Eyes of an Engllsl
Woman , " "The Woman In Politics , " and
"Tho Music Hall , " ore among the lectures
that have been best received. Mrs. Chan
Is undenominational In her religion and has
preached In churches of many denomlna
lions during her visit here. Her tlmo 1
England Is largely occup'ed ' In traveling abou
the country , preaching and lecturing. Las
year she received so many requests to
preach that It would have been necessary to
triple the number of Sabbaths In order to
accept them all.
Mrs. Chant said that the crusade agalns
vlco and intemperance In Great Britain was
not unltko that waged In thlsi country. "It
Is a noteworthy fact that at the same tlmo
the reformers of New York won their grea
battle against Tammany , we , on the other
side , were successful In our fight ngalns
the low grade music halls. It Is true there
have been temporary defeats sustained In
both countries since then , but they are llko
the recession ot the waves , which recede
only to gather greater force. Yes , the
world Is growing better and the prospect for
success In the worlc of reform Is bright
Still , we should always remember that it Is
eternal vigilance which Is the price of
liberty. "
"Would you suppress the music hall alto
gether , Mrs. Chant ? "
"Oh , no ; by no means. I am fond of amuse
ment. If \\orklngman or woman wants
light form ot amusement , well and g"i. I
should bo the last to pains/ their right to
bavo their desire"-Jor It gratified. I would
exclude all > y-m of liquor , however , from
btich theaters.
"My claim on the question of selling liquor
In concert halls and theaters is that the
traffic 'lowers the tolie ol the place. The
claim Is not new. Macready found It out In
1834 , and ho discovered at that time that by
discontinuing the sale of drink in his theater
ho could obtain patronage for a higher class
of plays than those * which plcawd his audience
dience- under the old regime. Songs are tolerated
erated in concert halls and theaters In Lon
don , and , I suppose , in this country , for thai
matter , where drink Is sold , which would be
most unpleaslng were the audience not be
sotted and muddled by the fumes ot the
liquor. Not all amusement halls where
liquor Is sold are disreputable , but that the
liquor lowera the tone of any such place Is
undoubted. "
SOME CLEAN VAIUETY THEATERS.
"How does the variety theater of America
compare In tone with the music halls o
England ? "
"I should not llko to make comparisons
without being sure of all the facts in the mat
ter. Ono ought to bo on expert to answer
that question correctly. I will say , however
that I have found variety theaters In Amoric :
that ara most clean and wholesome. I re
member one in Boston quite distinctly. The
form of entertainment was splendid. It was
perfectly free from anything that was sug
gestive and there the ballet was tabooed. I
willingly left my 16-year-old daughter In
there one afternoon to escape from a heavy
rain outside. There Is not a theater In Eng
land where I should have dared to do such
a thing. I huvo heard that there are low
grade amusements here , too , but I'm con
vinced that there can bo such a thing as a
cleanly variety theater , and I'm glad you
huvo ro many of their. ,
"The crusodo against vlco Is not now.
The only new element In It Is woman. Where
Bho could not have taken a hand in the work
of reform years ago she la most energetic In
that direction today. I think these clubs ol
wr women that you have In America are grand
r institutions. I bcllevo they are the means
for accomplishing great good. As for the
women's clubs , I think the United States Is
ahead of England. In practical poll-
tics , however , the Englishwoman has
proceeded further. Wo have our di
visions of 'women Into parties , and
party lines ore drawn just as tightly as
nmone the male voters. The woman have
the right of suffrage , except In parliamentary
elections. The American woman Is advanc
ing In this matter , and I'm glad to know
that in several of your states they have the
right to vote. Political life must be shared
equally by the members ot both sexes If wo
would secure It's best results. " T5o exclusion
of one BOX from participating In the affairs
ot government Is a dreadful detriment to all.
The town life Is simply an expansion of
homo life. What would a home bo without
a woman ? Her power tor good Is Just as
potent In the life of a municipality as in
that ot a home. "

CHICAGO INVENTS A NEW IIIIII.E ,
Itci IHIM ! VerMliin for UNIIn the Public
City SehoolM.
CHICAGO , Feb. 15. The new bible pre
pared for the use of public schools has been
completed. It will now be submitted to the
Board of Education , which will pass Judgment
itcon it.
Tha aim of those who compiled the book
was to prepare a work that would be un-
jbjectlonablo to any religious denomination.
It has now been twenty-two years since the
Hoard of Education discontinued the reading
} f the bible In the public schools of Chicago ,
Up to 1874 it was a regularly prescribed
July of the teachers to read a portion of the
sacred volume to their scholars every day.
By some this exercise was relished and ap
proved , but to others it was exceedingly
distasteful. The opposition to It grew and
ifter a long and stubbornly contested bat
tle the bible was evicted from the public
schools. A fo\v , years ago a movement was
aegun to reinstate the bible. The book
.vhlcli has Just been completed Is the out-
; rowth of a suggestion made by Prof. David
Swing , that a committed consisting of mem-
> ers of the Protestant , Catholic , Jewish and
ither denominations compile a book for the
ise of the school children made up of selec-
lens from the bible.
At the beginning It was decided that the
rerslon recognized In courts by English law
vhen appeals to the blblo are made should
> 3 the one from which the selections should
10 taken , as the school Is established pre
eminently for the state. For the con-
renlence ot the children and better to faclll-
ate the work the book Is gradpd In Its ar-
angemcnt. Those selections appealing first
in Its pages are adapted to tba needs of the
ntellectual standards of the lower grades
if the grammar school , the latter part of the
look being better suited for moro mature
nlnds. Quotations are also given In the book
o ohow that men differing widely In re-
Iglous belief , ranging from Prof. Huxley to
ho pope , have endorsed Just such a scheme
3 this that has just been carried out , The
ommlttee that prepared the blblo , after
; lvlng the leaders of the Woman's Educa-
tonal union due credit for the part which
hey took In preparing the book for the
lubltc , explains that the fruit ot their lr.bor
nay bo truly said to belong not merely to
he Educational union , but to the whole city
f Chicago , whose representatives made It ,
nd , Indeed , to the whole world , for pro-
lously different churches In all parts ot
ho union participated In Its compilation.

LITTLE ROCK , Feb. 15. A strong effort
Is being made by the manigers of Governor
Claude Matthews' presidential boom to advanca
the Indiana man's Interests In Arkansas. A
correspondence bureau has been established
for this purpose- and prominent democrats all
over the state are receiving letters urging
favorable consideration of the Indlantan. One
of these letters Is signed by Hon. Sterling R.
Holt , chairman of the Indiana democratic
state committee , and It recounts In glowing
terms the public services of Governor Mat
thews and commends him to the favorable
consideration of the Arkansas democracy.
After stating that Go.vej-noffMiJ'hc" ' ' " ; -
practical' ' farme'fi a strong sympathizer with
the laboring classes and a life long democrat
the letter concludes :
"It must be accepted as a fact , If we hope
to win in the coining contest , that the de
mocracy must look to the great west for a
leader who will Impress the whole country
as a wise , able and conservative man , a man
In close touch with the masses. Indiana
believes that the tide will be Irresistible
for , a western man and that In the person o
Governor Matthew * thei Ideal candidate Is
presented. Will you kindly inform me a
your earliest convenience , of your candid
opinion cs to the probability for support
either in your district or' state ? "

Wnlt for Their Pny.
There are likely to bo some vigorous ob
jections to the passage of the appropriation
ordinance by the city , council next Tuesday
night. It la said that unless the total Is
reduced by about $70,000 , which represents
bills of corporations , there will certainly be n
fight against Its passage. Among the Items
contained In the ordinance Is the bill of the
American Water Works company for the
last six months of 1S95 , amounting to about
$43,000. The entire amount now available In
the water rent fund is $15,840.70. Warrants
aggregating $12,828.02 are outstanding
agalntjt this amount , leaving a balance-
only $3,012.05.
The lighting fund Is In still worse condi
tion. Here there Is an available balance-
$ U,5GG.95. Warrants amounting to $18,803.10
are outstanding , thus showing a deficit of
$7,236.15. The ordinance under considera
tion contains three Items against this fund
which aggregate about $20,000. These In
clude bills as follows : Thomson-Houston
company , $12,500 ; Sun Vapor Street Lighting
company , $7,500 , and Omaha Gas Manufac
turing company , $5,500.
As the funds are practically exhausted , the
passage of the ordinance containing these
bills would be to effect an issuance of war
rants In the necessary amounts , which would
add Just to much to the outstanding obliga
tions on which the- city Is paying 7 per cant
Interest. There are several members of the
council who declare that the city now has
about all the notes outstanding that are de-
slrabls. They say that the corporations In
whose favor these bills are drawn have re
ceived valuable franchises from the city for
which they have never paid a dollar. More
than that the taxes assessed against their
property have be < m merely nominal , and not
In comparison to thosa paid by other property
owners. Therefore they contend that It Is
tlmo that these corporations bore a part of
the burden by holding- their bills until the
city Is better able to pay them.
It Is represented Jthai the. , b'U pro dr.w
'
asast ! taxes \vhich have not been' collected
because the people were not able to pay
them. They have become delinquent and the
property owners are paying 12 per cent In
terest on them. As soon as the warrants
are Issued , they are compelled to pay 7 per
cent additional to the holders. Thus they
must practically pay 19 per cent on their
unpaid taxes. The members who are not In
favor of allowing- the bills at this time
argue that the corporations can .well afford
to bear a 'small-proportion of this -burden
and they will consequently endeavor to have
the items stricken out of the ordinance.
HASCALL'S DEPOT IIESOI.UT1OX.
Sonic People Relieve that There IH n
String Attncheil.
There has been a good deal of inquiry from
property owners In regard to the Intent o
the resolution which was introduced by
Councilman Hascall relative to the union
depot matter. The resolution contained a
clause which bound the council to take any
action that might bo advisable to assist In
the undertaking , this specifying nothing , bu
Including anything that might bo sprung a
a subsequent time.
It Is the general understanding that the
eventual purport of the resolution will be to
serve as a basis for councilmanlc action b ;
which the Interest of the city In the grouni
now occupied by the Mason street site am
known as the "Saunders tract" may be
transferred to the Union Pacific Rallroac
company. When the agreement was drawn
up by which the depot was to be erected at
XIason street It was agreed that a quit claim
deed to this property should be given to the
railroad company. As nn offset It was pro
vided that the railroad company should give
the city a quit claim deed to other tracts o
property over which there was a conflict as
to the title.
The Union Pacific people now argue that
If they relinquish the Mason street site anc
go Into the prospective depot nt the foot ol
Farnam street tnay should not bo compelled
to relinquish any of the rights which they
sbtnlned under the former agreement. Con
sequently they want their quit claim deed
to the Saunders tract Jurt the same.
City Attorney Connell says that It woulil
bo perfectly proper , In his opinion , for the
city to enter Into a similar agreement as
Daon as the Farnam street depot Is assured.
The city could Just as well afford to grant
the concession for a depot at Farnam street
is for the one which was begun at Mason
street. "The only point to bo maintained , "
jays the city attorney , "Is that the con
cessions made by the railroad company to the
: lty In the former contract should bo In
cluded In the new one. Any effort to give
: ho railroad a clear titleto the- Saunders
ract without any return In the way of slml-
dr concessions as to the property claimed by
; ho city would be unjurt to the city. "

TWO CHICKEN THIEVES AND COUNTERFEITED
"Pencheil" Ort lijPain In Mill *
Count } ' Where the ( SiinK Wan
llobultiir Itoostx Itevordn ot
Tm of T.itMti.
Sheriff William U Tubbs of Mills county ,
lown , was In Omaha yesterday after three mcr
who were arrested early In the morning and
were booked at the police station as fugitives
from Justice. The names of the prisoners
are Grant Lsng , H. H. Noland and William
Petty and they arc members of a gang that
has been Infesting Mills county for some
time.
Two ot the men , Noland and Long , ore
wat ted for the burglary of hencoops and
Sheriff Tubbg says that ho has several cases
and one particularly good ono against them.
Two other men , who are supposed lo consti
tute the remainder of the gang , Charles
Burns and Sam Cozlrah , are In Jail at Glen-
wood. These men furnished the tip which
brought cbout the arrest of Long and Noland.
Sheriff Tubbs says that for some weeks
the country In neighborhood of Glcnwood
has been devastated of chickens. There are
not half a dozen farmers In the vicinity who
lave not had their hencoops visited and It
Is estimated that fully 1,000 fowls have been
stolen. Although suspicion rested upon the
men under arrest , no proof was produced In
dicating that they were the guilty parties ,
owing to the fact that the farmers were un-
nblo to Identify the property stolen.
There Is , however , not far from Glenwood
a lung-headed Yankee farmer who marked
his chickens by cutting off the outer toe on
o.'ch foot. Several days ago his coop was
visited and a number of his fowls stolen.
He reported the fact and It was decided to
vldt the headquarters of the suspected
parties , In the hope that some of the marked
property might be found. A search warrant
v/as Issued for the premises of Cozlrah , n
farmer residing near Glenwood.
The visit more than satisfied the searching
parties. A cave was discovered on Coz'rah's
farm , In which a great c.uanlty of heads and
feet of chickens were found. Among them
were n number of feet bearing the Yankee
farmer's copyright. There were also a
number ot bags * ot chicken feathers found
In the cave. Sheriff Tubbs estimates that
there were six or seven bushels of thmn.
On the strength of this evidence , Burns and
Cozlrah , were arrested. They acknowledged
that they were chicken thieves.
It was learned fiom them that the members
of the party were out almost every night ,
devastating chicken coops , and that In this
way they managed to make from $4 to$12 a
night each from the operations. They also
stated that Noland and Long were In Omaha ,
but would return Saturday night. It was
stated that the Intention was to make a
final raid Saturday night and after disposing
of the stolen property , skip for other parts.
Sheriff Tubbs lost no tlmo In acting on
the Information , as he feared that Noland
and Long might get n tip. At 8 o'clock Friday
night ho caused warrants to be Issued for
their arrest , and hitching up a horse , he
rode to Council Bluffs. Ho arrived early in
the mcrnlng , and came to this city on the
first car. Ho had learned t' ' t the * 7.-s vq
" a-icil were -at tua losldence of the Pettys ,
at Forty-ninth and Cumlng streets , and ho
went out to that place at once with Officer
Storey.
Entrance Into the house was easily effected ,
and although Long tried to give the officers
the slip , both he and Noland were arrested.
More than that , William Petty , who Is
wanted In Iowa on the charge of counter-
felting , was found on the premises. He also
was placed under arrest and taken to the
police station.
During the few weeks Just past' Mills'
county has been flooded with counterfeit
nickels , half-dollars and dollars. The coins
are bad Imitations , but they have been taken
by the farmers In considerable numbers. No
Intimation was given cf the counterfeiter ! ?
until saveral days ago , when a friend of
Petty gave the snap away to Sheriff Tubbs.
Petty had a falling out with a pal and the
latter determined to square himself with the
authorities while ho had a chance. The pal
visited the sheriff and showed him a letter
from Petty. In this Petty agreed to furnish
him with $200 worth of counterfeit coin for
$20. The man Is now beting held In Glen-
wood as a witness , and will bo turned over
to the federal authorities.
It Is understood that Petty ban been castIng -
Ing the coins at some place that is yet un
known. After striking them off ho always
destroyed the molds In order to remove nil
traces of the countprfeltlng , and made new
.molds when more co'ns were wanted. The
counterfeits were not gocd enough to be ac
cepted in a city , ami consequently only the
rural districts were worked.
Long and Noland have refused to go to
Iowa without requisition papers , and they
will bo held here until they are obtained.
Noland Is well known to the police. He has
boon arrested for burglary here. Petty Is
also well known and Is eald to be an old
counterfeiter. Ho was released only a short
time ago from the Sioux Falls pcnltcnt'ary ,
where ho served a year for counterfeiting.
Both the men have been members of the
fio-called North Omaha gang.
Petty will bo turned over to the federal
authorities at Council Bluffs.

CCH'NTY COMMISSIO.NKIIS MKKT.
Spirited IlcnKloii Over tlio Uxlnl
once of IttiNftlnn Thlntlen.
The county commissioners held the
regular weekly meeting yesterday , tram
acting a small amount ot routine buslnes
and proceeding In a very humdrum trmnnei
The most exciting occurrence during th
meeting was a statement by Williams tha
the entire northwestern part of the city o
Omaha Is covered with the Russian thlstt
and that no action whatever has. been take :
by the city authorities toward extermlnitln
the pest. He ventured the prophesy tha
within a short tlmo the residents ot th
whole city \\ould have their dockyards covcrei
with the weed which has acquired sue' '
notoriety that the national government hit
declared war against It and the state o
Nebraska has enacted laws tor Us extcrmlna
tlon.
tlon.The
The matter c.11110 up In the form of a re
port of the committee on roads , on th
bills of two road supervisors who clalmc
$ S each for Inspection pcrlymcd under th
provisions of the law enacted by the las
legislature. The committee recommended th
payment ot the bills , but Stcnborg objccte <
on ths ground that the bills were not specific
In that they did not show whether the In
spcctora found any thistle ? , or what had beci
done with them , If any were found. Th
law provides for Inspections on the first da ;
of July , August , September and October , nni
the road supervisors are required to go xipoi
private lands and require the removal of al
thistles , and to hlro sufllclcnt force to do th
work , If It Is not done by the owner of th <
land within a given time.
The county clerk was Instructed to notlf ;
supervisors to make complete reports , a
contemplated by the law.
Ex-Sheriff Drexoll submitted a report In accordance
cordanco with the Instructions of the com
mlssloncrs , showing the amount of fees col
lected by him , as master commissioner during
his term , per diem , and fees for taking prls
oners to Lincoln , and same 'ir trlns to Iowa
the total amount being $327. Accompanylni
the report was a communication , calling at
tontlon to the fact that It had not been UK
practice of Drexel's predecessors to turn such
fees over to the county , or to make reports
of the same. He also stated that ho bad
kept no record of the service of forclgr
papers , as no such report had been made
by his predecessors , or by any sheriff In the
state.
The ex-sheriff also reported that ho had
collected fees amounting to $125.35 during the
time between January 9 and February 9 , this
year.
Both reports were referred to the finance
committee after Williams and StenbcrR had
expressed opinions that these fees all be
longed to the state.
The bond of Charles W. King as constable
of West Omaha precinct , with Ncls Seleroc
and John S. Mullen ns sureties ,
was referred back to the Judiciary
committee for the reason that the
bond was deemed Insufficient , Stcnbcrg re
marking that there had been moro suits
on constables' bonds than on all others and
the board should see to It that they were
good and sufficient.
On application from the county attorney
the salary of the stenographer In his office
was Increased $5 per month In order to make
It the same as. . that of all the other stenog
raphers In the county offices.
The Western Passenger association noti
fied the board that In accordance with the
action taken at a recent meeting , charity
rates would be discontinued and that In
future all charity cases would be charged
rull rates Instead of going at halt rates an
icretofore.
Albyn Frank , clerk of the district court ,
notified the board that ho had dlspensed-wlth
the services of W. G. Templeton ns deputy
clerk.
The Mount Hope Cemetery association pe
titioned the board to grade Military road
from the end of the pavement , stating that
the association desired to make certain Im
provements which could not bo made until
the roadi waa graded.
The county clerk was Instructed to secure
the signatures of property owners on South
Thirteenth street to a waiver of damages
by reason ot the grading ot that thoroughfare.

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER' IlECTAI ;
TUOUIILES EASILY CUHED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Reiiinrlfitlile Number of Cures Made
l y the I'yrumlil l lle Cure.
About ono person in every four" suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying Is Itching plies ,
Indicated by warmth , slight moisture and In
tense , uncontrollable Itching In the parts af
fected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes gives
temporary relief , but nothing like a perma
nent cure can bo expected from such superfi
cial treatment.
The only permanent euro for Itching piles
yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure , not
"
only for Itching piles , but for" every other
form of piles , blind , bleeding or protruding.
The first apllcatlon gives instant relief , and
the continued UEO for a short tlmo causes a
permanent.removal of the tumor or the small
parasites which causa the Intense Itching
and discomfort of itching piles.
Many phys'clans for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because It was sup
posed to contain cocaine , opium or similar
drugs , but biicli Is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed It to
bo absolutely free from any cocaine , opium ,
ar In fact any poisonous. Injurious drug what
ever.
ever.For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure Is
probably the only pile cure extensively rec
ommended by physicians , because It la so
safe , BO prompt In the relief afforded and
so far as known the only positive euro for
yttea , except na urglcal operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has be
come the best known , the safest and the
most extensively sold ot any pile cure bo-
tore the public.
Nearly all drugg'sta now sell It at CO cents
ind $1.00 per package.
