of tlif Week.
The activity In tlio matrimonial field con
tinues well Into Juno without apparent
nliafment In splto of a tardy anil long ox-
jiortoil rise of tlio uicrrury In the tube. People
ple Interested In any or all branches of this
nuhjcct are still obliged to work Indus-
trlniisly ovcrUmo to hoop up with thfl volume
of business , and although what bid fair atone
ono limn to become an epidemic , eccms to
liavq boon In a measure averted , the devasta
tions of the wedding hublt during tbo past
week have been many and far reaching In
tlieir consequences.
Only ono pubject peculiar to society col
umns has approached hymeneal loplr In
Importance during that period. Peonlu liavo
come and pone much as usual , nllhough with
the uenr npproach of hot wrather they uro
beginning ( o go a great deal faster than they
come ; pleasures that are lately past arc few
ami far between. and pleasiirrs In Immediate
. .wpert have dwindled to little or nothing.
Tin MO themes. and thu Joys which they rep
resent , are ot special Interest In the society
Roasion proper , wnen Bitinnipr lieat Is yet a
long way off and evening dress Is worn with
proper prei'antloni agalnM pneumonia. Hut
for the roininencement stage and all the rap
turous pleasures attendant thereon , the
early Juno days ore set apart with practical
unanimity and entire appropriateness. I1 or
what morn tenderly symbolic than a limp
ixnd wilted collar , of the collapse of callow
pride bcfnro tli ( > ardent JiP.it of the world s
competition ? And from what can the svvcot
Klrl graduate more filly learn that life has
Its thorns * as well as Its buds and bloasoms
than from the rosps that on these occa-
Hlons bestrew her pathway ? They go out
gallantly , these confident youiig people , to
encounter the perils and obstacles which
they know little of , but which their fhnol
training. If rightly applied , will help them
to meet and overcome In lime of need. And
they arc presently lost In the mighty throng
of ramniou humanity , most of them to b
thenceforth unknown beyond the narrow cir
cle of tliplr Immediate environment.
Meanwhile the school lionws are closed ,
tu ! > curtains arc down and the timid crass
Is BprliiRlni ! up In playgrounds where busy
feet no longer rush to and fro. And the child
of larger growth , who loves to renew his or
liur distant youth In the sight of the happy
faces of real children on their way to school ,
Is denied that perennial pleasure and re
freshment until another autumn comes.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
v Fill a bottle or common gla with urine
and let It aland twenty-four hours ; a aedl-
munt or nettling Indicates an unhealthy
condition ot the kidney * When urine
ctalns llntm It Is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to url-
nato or pain In the buck Is also convin
cing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
WHAT TO I1O.
There Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed , that Dr , Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot , tht ) great kidney remedy , fulfills
every wish In relieving pain In the back ,
kidneys , liver , bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. It corrects inability
to hold urlno and scalding pain In passing
It , or bad cffecta following uao ot liquor ,
wlnt or. beer , ami overcomes that unpleas
ant necessity of Lilng comp llld to get up
many times during the nlcht to urinate.
The mild und the extraordinary effect of
Bwamp-Hoot Is noon realized. It stands the
lily brut for Its wonderful cureu ot the most
distressing cases. It you need a medicine
you should have th best. Sold by drug *
* ' gluts , price fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a cample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mall. Mention The Omaha Dally
Bee and rend your ddress to Dr. Kilmer &
Co. , Blnghamton , N. Y. The proprletora of
this paper guaranty the sunuluuuesa ot tbli

Ice , docked with rose leaven and follngoJ

The cnumcrAtoi * appointed June I by Hie
Board of Education to take the school census
are taking a full census of the city. This
work has been going on very quietly , as
some ot the members of the board did not
wish tbo fact to become known. At the
meeting nf the city council held on May 31
iMember Knight of the Board of Education
visited the council as a committee , nml asked
that the council order a census ot thu city
l.iken at tbo same time. This Iho members
of the council refused to do , as they would
bo In the power of the illoird of Education
flhouM the census show a population of 10,0\)0 )
or over. In this event the council would
have no ctiolro In the matter but could bo
compelled to ralso ths saloon llccnso to
$1,000. Certain members of Iho 'Beard ' of
Education are very anxious to URVO tills
dona In order to Increase lht revenue.
A star chamber session ot the Board of
Education was held at which It was Co-
cldod In IIRVO Iho enumerators take the full
census. Some of the members objected to
this underhanded way of doing business , and
, Cflsorte < l that the board had no right to pay I
for a census other than the regular school
census. The opinion of the board's attorney
was asked In the mutter and he gave the I
members to understand that they had no I
authority to order a full census , much lass I
to use school money to pay the enumerators
for the additional work. After some very
pointed remarks had passed between the
members the majority prevailed and the full
census was ordered taken. The enumerators ,
however , were Instructed to keep mum about
the matter and to do tin * work as quietly
as they could.
Should Iho census show a population of
10,000 or over It Is understood that the board
will make an effort to have the saloon
licensee raised to $1.000. If that cannot be
done , It Is thought that the board will bo
In a position to demand nn increase In the
llccnso next May. The , council will , how
ever , be Just as cute us Iho members of the
Board of Education thought they were going
to be , and will refuse to recognize the census
taken by the school enumerators , clnlmlng
that it was not ordered taken by nor paid
for out ot the funds at the disposal of the
council.
The city lias never had a census taken , but
the government census , which was taken in
1SOO , gave South Omaha a population of
8 OC2. From the reports of the enumerators
now al work it 1 estimated that the popu
lation Is now about 11,000.
