Society folk have had little tlmo to rest
on their oars during the past neck. It the
Dean-Dandy wedding , however , with lt
round of attendant feslltvltlcs , had hap
pened at another tlmo , the week would have
held less than Us proper allowance of so
cial happenings. The wedding was one of
the prettiest and most brilliant that ever
took place In Omaha , and It was preceded
Ity that multitude of smaller satellite events
which Invariably cluster about A notable
occasion ot this kind , Invhlth the people
most nearly concerned am popular among
a largo circle of friends. Lieutenant Dean ,
during his residence hero as aide to Gen
eral Brooke , established himself firmly In
the regard ot army people and civilians
alike ; and Miss Dandy , In the short tlmo
eho had lived In Omaha as a young woman
slncn her family's return from the east , had
renewed many childhood's friendships and
contracted hosts of new ones of equal depth
and permanency. No fairer maid over
plighted her troth to a gallant soldier lover ;
and no sweeter bride ever descended the
altar steps suppottcd by hnr husband's arm.
Her friends had seemed to vie with each
other In the week before the ceremony , In
contriving pleasant and hospitable devices
to help to make the Inevitable patting lesi
painful.
The etiquette of church weddings Is pe
culiar , though not especially bewildering
when one becomes accustomed to It. In the
flrst place , assuming that en Invitation
must bo shown at the door , one's earliest
duty ls to secure the all-Important card.
It may be sent spontaneously ; or If It Is
not naturally forthcoming , a little discreet
and entirely commendable manipulation of
the strings at one's command may fetch It ;
or , falling all else , an Invitation may bo
borrowed from A friend who Is unable to
use It. Anyway , got the card. You can
appcaso your conscience afterward , If It
annoys you for going where you are not
Invited.
You present your credentials at the door ,
and are admitted by the handsome man
who takes up the cards. He may look hard
at you , as one who strives to reconcile your
appearance \\llh the name under which you
ore traveling nnd which he has formerly
associated with others ; but you don't care.
You are Inside. An usher offers you his
arm , If you are a woman , or allows you to
follow behind himself and your wife , If you
ore male ; and you are shown Into a seat ,
near to the chancel in proportion to the
wldeness of the swath you cut. You are
early , of course. Only those who arrive
ahead of time at a church wedding can
rlso superior to the fierce competition for
alslo scat" ) which subsequently occurs. You
take the end of the pew , If you are a
woman ; and you do not fall to allow your
wife to do so , If ( as before ) you are male.
She Is more likely to hold that coign of
vantage against all comers than you.
Others come , on ushers' arms or trotting
meekly In the rear , according ( as before )
to sex. They pause at the seat which Is
yours by every human and divine right.
They would take the end place from you
forcibly If It were not In a church. You
tear to pass Into tlio aisle to let them enter ,
lest they shall by that means evict you.
You stand up. gathering your wraps about
you and crowding the tendons of your knees
against the seat from which you have arisen ;
and the Intruders , who may be your dearest
friends under other and less strenuous con
ditions , glare at you like lost souls as they
squeeze past you to the Inside places , where
the view ot tlio ceremony Is far from being
what It should be.
Sometimes similar things happen at bar
gain counters.

OMAHA , Feb. 6. To the Editor of The
Bee ; On Tuesday lust , In Chicago , Frank
Mason was fined | 5 by Justice Richardson
for spitting on the floor of the court room
And made to pay the fine !
This Is the commencement of a crtmdo
against this habit In Chicago. As you have
doubtless noticed , the Board of Health of
that city has taken up this matter In earn-
i cst. H has had printed 5.000 "decency
cards , " which are posted In the street cars ,
In the city offices nnd In nil public places
where needed. Hero Is the form :
SPICTINO ON THU FLOORS
OF PUBLIC PLACES AND
Pimi.tC CONVEYANCES IS A
NUISANCE.
It la frequently n means of con-
veyltiff rtlsinse , nnd IT JS tli&llK-
BY FOHHinmN by order of
the Hpnllh Depni tment.
W. A. KERIl , Commissioner of
Health.
OFFENDERS AdA1NST THIS
OKDKll WILL MB PROSE
CUTED under Sec. 1403 , Munici
pal Code.
In the street cars It Is made the duty ot
the conductors to call the attention of guilty
persons to the offense , and It persisted In
to call n policeman. So In other public
places. They are determined in the In
terest of health and decency to eradicate
this habit.
Now , \vliy should not Omaha do the same
thing ?
I bcllcvo that Is only a few months slnco
that the Woman's club sent a committee to
the street car magnates , bPERlnu them to
take some action in Ihc Interest ot this re
form. Nothing came of U. Some excuses
were made that It was Impracticable , and
alt that sort of thing. But no excuses
should bo allowed. The street car company
owes It to Its patrons to keep Ita cars
neat , clean and wholesome Instead of allow
ing them lo become the breeding places ot
disease. It can easily regulate this. Let
It post up cards and Issue to the conduct
ors positive. Instructions to enforce them.
Very few men would have to bo spoken to
more than once on the subject. If thcso
same street car magnates were compelled to
try a ride or two occasionally for themselves
for Instance , on the Iraller ot the Leaven-
worth ntreet line , which Is unspeakably
nasty they would soon change their minds.
But this reform should not end with the
street cars. If there arc any who doubt that
It Is needed , let them think ot the spectacle
afforded by our sidewalks In the central part
of the city , but especially In front of the
Life building or the Paxton or Mlllard , or
any one of the Sixteenth and Douglas cor
ners anywhere , In fact , where loafers con
gregate the most. Do the people who com
mit these offenses know that many a sensi
tive and delicate woman Is obliged to trav
erses our sidewalks without daring to look
down upon them ?
On the part of some , this habit Is sheer
thoughtlessness. Many a man who Is other
wise well-bred and who Is In the habit of
trcallng women with the respectful defer
ence that belongs to them , will expectorate
deliberately In a street car without seeming
to realize that he Is making himself persona
non grata yes , worse than that , personally
offensive to every woman within sight. But
while It Is true lhat much may be done by
the street car company and by ventilating
this subject generally , It Is also true that
there are others who can only be reached
by heroic measures.
Will not the Board of Health take hold
of this ? Very likely there Is already an
ordinance such as they are working under
In Chicago. If not , there should bo one , and
then It should be enforced In all publl
places by the police Including , of course
our sidewalks. Let us ask for this now
before summer comes on , when this cv
will be at Its worsl In Ihe Interests of de
ccncy and public health. INDEX.

South Omalui News
In leftof the low condition of the ncliool
lutnl It has boon Migrated to members of
the Hoard nt Kducntlon that In order to
cut down expenses the school term might be
shortened. It has boon the custom hereto
to have ton months of school , or nearly so ,
until last year , when the board thought It
advisable , In view of the limited supply of
' money , to shorten the term to nine months.
Superintendent Munro Is opposed to the
shortening of the term , nnd r vg that If It
Is cut any more the schools will not have the
benefit of the state apportionment.
According to the state law. schools with
over 100 pupils must bo open ISO das In the
year. Counting twenty school days In one
month. It takes exactly nlno months of
school to comply with the law. The state
apportionment amounts to about $4,000 n
jcar for the South Omaha schools , and the
members of the board cootidcr that a sum
worth looking after.
There Is ft feeling In some sections that
the salaries of the teachers might ho cut
$5 or $10 n month and not Injure the stand *
nrd. It Is argued that times arc hard and
that teachers have no right to expect high
salaries when cuts have been made by
nearly every business house during the last
two years. The members of the board , or
at least some of them , fear that If salaries
arc reduced It will result In the employment
of a number ot Inexperienced teachers , and
that the high standard now maintained by
the schools will bo reduced. The superin
tendent of schools Is paid $150 a month , and
the supervisor of music $65 a month. Ono
teacher draws $ SO n month , four $7G , seven
$70 , eighteen $ CO , olght $55 , eight $50. three
$45 , and two $40 a month. W. J. Taylor ,
principal ot the High school , Is paid $110
a month , and altogether this makes qulto a
respectable salary roll.
The Janitors draw pay as follows : High
school , $75 ; Lowell , $50 ; West Side , $00 ;
Highland , $20 ; Albright , $45 ; Brown park ,
$00 ; Hawthorne , $50 ; Lincoln , $15. Janitors
arc paid according to the number of rooms
they look after , and It Is not deemed ad
visable to reduce the wages of these men
any.

Remedy , Hut It UOC-H the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people
huve colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring them on
any extra exertion , as In lifting , will produce
them , and in fact will often appear without
any apparent provocation. Plies , however ,
are much more serious than a cold , as the
tendency Is always to grow worse until the
trouble becomes deep-seated and chronic , or
developes Into some fatal rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies which
give relief , yet there Is but one which not
only gives Instant relief , but at the same tlmo
makes a permanent cure , nnd that Is the well
known Pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy Is composed of simple , harm
less vegetable Ingredients , but combined so
effectively nnd act so promptly and thoroughly -
oughly that It cures every form of piles
whether Itching , blind , bleeding or protrud
ing.In
In long standing cases the Pyramid Pllo
Cure has proven to be the only ccitaln cure
except n surgical operation , and Its advan
tages over an operation are many , as It la
painless , causes no delay , or Intorfcrenco
with dally occupation , and last , but not least.
It Is cheaper than any surgical operation
could possibly bo , costing but a dollar a
package at any drug store.
Tlio cases that the Pyramid Pile Cura will
not reach are so few that physicians are do
ing away with operations for piles and depending - , ,
pending on this cheap but effective remedy -
to accomplish a complete cure , and It never
disappoint except In cases beyond the reach
of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure' Is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co , of Albion , Mich. , and
for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents
per package. Each package contains a
treatise on cause and cure of piles , together
with testimonials from every section of this
country.
