are wrong. Consumption is the most deadly
of diseases but it is distinctly curable. It

nnd the first step towards its cure must be
the relief of these disorders.
Ninety-eight per cent , of all cases of con.

of the digestion , makes assimilation perfect ,
fdls the blood with the life-givEni ? elements
that build up new , firm and healthy tissues ,
and acting directly upon the lungs drives
out all disease-germs. It is n specific for
all lingering , bronchial , throat und lung

During the course of the evening ex-State
Superintendent of Schools Corbett , who left
last night , on the deep water harbor trip to
Tcxr.s , WAS Instructed and empowered to dd
all 1(1 hl power to promote the plan of the
congress among the educators of Texas and
of the other states M 'llh whom hemet. .
The remainder of the evening was spent
In an Informal manner In discussing plans
for the congress. The executive commlltco
Is to at once enter Into correspondence with
prominent educators In the various western
states to brtog the matter before their at
tention ao that It can be presented to the
various state association meetings during the
holidays. Later each ntate will be aeksd
to appoint some member on a committee to
get up a program , which will be exceptional
In character. The time of holding the con-
grws will In a rieastire be lefl to the stales ,
but It will bo held either early or l < itc In
the summer vacation.
Grraeral Passenger Agent Buchanan ex
pressed himself as heartily favorable to the
scheme , and he said It would have the sup
port of the railroads. Ho believed that the
mectag could be made a very large ono.
Mr. Corbett paid that there was plenty of
material In the country from which to se
cure the attendance for two Immense con
gresses , one Ir this city and the other In
Washington. They would In no measure In
terfere with each other. He WES very en
thusiastic over the matter. Ho believed
ilso that all the prominent educators In the
wMtcrn elates could 'be Interested In the
plan.
plan.Prof. . Hlscy of Council Bluffs believed
that there was plenty of room for a congrers
Ici this city in addition to -Washington
meeting. He stated that there was n flour
ishing southern CEsoclatlon asd an can'tcrn
one. and there had been a feeling for fome
time among western educators that this
section of the country should have an ts-
Eoclatlon of the same kind. He believed Ute
to be a good Idea to combine with thla sen
timent and make next year's congress the
starter for others to "be held rontially.
The executive committee will bo called to
gether tome day .the coming week.

force the warm area northward and Nebraska
will be only slightly affected.
If anyone In Omaha Is Inclined to complain
of cold weather they should be transp-ortcu

ing what ts to them an almost unbearable
frigidity. The thermometer registered 2 de

Some of the brokers who hold city time
checlw are being Inconvenienced by
the refusal , oftho mayor to sign
a warrant for $5,000 on the gen
eral fund totake up the time checks.
The dllllculty arises from the fact that the
warrant covers a gross expense , a part ot
which should be charged to 'tho general
fund , while the remainder la chargeable to
'
other funds. Some'of 'the checks were Is
sued to registrars of election and others to
members of the blue-barrel brigade and
others to men who had been empoyed In
cutting weeds under the direction of the
health commlsslonfr. There U no objection
to paying the registrars out of the general
fund , but as the blue-barrel men should be
paid out of the curbing , guttering and
cleaning fund , which Is exhausted , Ii would
bo a transfer of funds to pay the amount
out cf the general fund.

Ucgardlng the Union Pacific presidency It
Is understood that the railroaders of Chicago
have agreed among themselves that the new
president's name will bo Winter. That opi
Ion still prevails among a number of Unicii
Paclfio ofllccrs 'here. Those who have pre
dicted Burt's election are still of thut opin
ion , and their belief wcs ratner itrcngthenea
this morning when they learned lint he had
made application for his residence at 1't-
South Thirty-ninth street , this city. ThU
was Mr. Burt's home when he was general
manager cf the Fremont , ElUhorn & Mis
souri Valley railroad with uo.dquaitcrs here
and since his removal it has been cccuple-
by his successor , Oeorgo R. Bldwell. It Is
said on very good authority that Mr. Bid-
well Is now looking for another house.
Reports from the cast are to the effect that
there has been no election of a pesldent ol
the reorganized Union Pacific , nor even a de-
clslcn as to the identity of the man to head
the executive department. It Is "understood"
that there will bo no election of a president
until the return of J , Pleroont Morgan" , the
financier who has charge ol a number o.
various Interests represented In the Union
Pacific. As the conceded "kUig of American
railroads , " Mr. Morgan will naturally have
something to say about the man who Is to
have charge of the reorganized Union Paclflu
railroad , and the gueaslng about the presi
dency. It Is said. Is likely to continue "until
Mr. Morgan reaches American soil.
Mr. Morgan Is heavily Interested In the
Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
among his numerous other railway holdings.
It Is believed 'that ' ho will enter a very
vigorous protest on any plan of Union Pa
cific reorganization which would discriminate
with connections east of the Ml&sourl river
In favor of the Northwestern and ngalnst
the Milwaukee , it is recalled that the Mil
waukee not only connects wtth the Union
Pacific at Omaha , but also with the Kansas
Pacific at Kansas City , which city Is not
entered bya Northwestern line. Should
the Union Pacific tie up any more with the
Northwestern It is believed 'that ' the Mil
waukee would Immediately Jo the same
with cither the Burlington or the Rock
Island at Kansa.i . City as wcU as at Omaha ,
and the competition 'between the transconti
nental lines would .bo made tremendously
keen. ,
One Union Pacific attache said yesterday
tint lie 'had ' a. sure tip 'that the slate cf the
executive department of the reorganize * !
Union Pat'Iflc would read like this : Presi
dent , 'Marvin Hughltt ; assistant to the pres
ident , F-oruco G. Hurt , with hoadquartKa In
Omaha : vice prcul-J'ent ' and general manager ,
Edward Dickinson. 'But ho was unwilling to
divulge the source of his Information.
General Manager Dlcklcnon cif the Union
Pac'lHc Is at headquarters here , but 'refrains '
from participating In any discussion regardIng -
Ing the future of the read. Thomas H. Orr ,
assistant t > f-cret-ary of 'the Unlrn Pacific's ex
ecutive department , left 'father ( hurriedly
and qulrtly for Now York City last evening.
None of "his friends appear to know the na
ture of his trip , but say that It 'Is regarding
something that has happened within the past
few days.

CARNIVAL AND LAGOON NOTES.
Yesterday morning Manager Jamea L.
Love , who has seen considerable snow
Mbucklng" In the Sierra Nevada mountains ,
took charge of the fifty men cc'gaged ' to clean
the big drifts off of the lagoon and In six
hours' tlmo every vestige- snow had been
removed from the long stretch running east
from the Mirror to Polaris Island. A few
hours later the 'beautiful Mirror began to
show lUelf and by 12 o'clock the circle will
.be In shape for skating.
A large crowd took advantage of the pleas
ant weather yesterday afteinoon and had an
enjoyable tlmo on the lagoon. Many com
plimentary remarks were made concerning
the way the managers were keeping their
word with the public.
If the weather is favorable today there
will bo a large concert baud stationed on
Polaris Island , where It will play music that
will just suit the skaters. The leader Ins
guaranteed to do that , so In case ho doesn't
keep his promise 'tho skaters are licensed
to duck him la that handy pool In front of
the Island.
Toboggan and skating suits were notice
able at the lagoon yesterday afternoon and
they looked awful pretty 'and comfontable.
When that toboggan gets started everybody
will begin wearing the.mhut It Is not - necessary
sary for1 any ono to iwiuti'un'ttl then , as they
look just -as nice on ithe.lce as they do on
a toboggan slide. J 3 ?
Conductor Phelps h'i almost had a "ccn
nlpitlon" fit or two -during the last three
days because he wasi cdrapelle-d to lay the
men on who were at gvorlr , on the 'toboggan
slide. The cold weatlrer | made It dangerous
for men to work on itho High scaffold , and
sooner than take any chances of having anyone
ono Injured' ' the- managers Concluded to wait
for favorable weather and then pu't ' on a lot
or extra -men. . , .
The young men who" have charge of the
special day for the Afro-Americans during
thp Ice carnival are wqrklng like Trojans t : >
malto it a memorable event In the history

Billy Shlverlck presented himself at heid-
quarters yesterday in a toboggan suit that
was rnoEt certainly a rtrlklngand novel one.
It looked like a Turkish bath robe sprinkled
with claret wine , and was built sTrwia
enough to make a standoff with the worst
blizzard that ever came -down from the Da-
kotas.

Welcome.
A new phlanthroplo project has been
aunched by Ilev. A. W. Clark , who for many
years has been Identified with religious and
charitable institutions in this , city. It Is
called the Child Saving and Gospel insti
tute and is located at 502 , 501 and 50G South
Eighteenth street.
For over a year past Ilev. Mr. Clark has
rcognlzed the fact tint Omaha Is far behind
eastern cities In providing a home for young
boys and girls , who are thrown in contact
with the vicious element of the city and
with a view to saving the young Rev. Mr.
Clark rented the two-story building near the
corner of Eighteenth street and St. Mary's
avenue , and for a period of over three
weeks has been putting It In condition to
shelter the boys and girls , The work is
not finished yet , but much has been accom
plished. The north storeroom has been
turned Into a larco hall and lies been painted
and papered. Hero a latgo number of home- .
CS.T boys and girls have already congregated
during the afternoons nnd evenings , employ-
ng the time In reading , participating In
nnocent amuscnicntn , both of a practical and
religious nature. The other rooms will bo
nit in shape as soon as prnslble and also
.ho second floor of the building. '
Hev. Mr. Clark Intends to offer a variety
of attractions which will appeal to the
juvenile mind and tend to keep them off the
streets. Hoys' clubs to suit the tastes of
different ages will be organized for various
ittrposcs. A company of twenty has already
janded together for the purpose of forming
a drill siiad ( and officers of the High School
cadets have expressed a willingness to In
struct them. In tlmo uniforms will bo pro
vided , so that the boys may turn out In the
civic parades which occur In the city. A
club for holding debates , giving recitations
and lectures will be organized , one of the
most Interesting features of which will bo
a scries of sterooptlcon talks , descriptive of
: ravel. These lantern lectures will be given
by outsldo talent. In addition to this , thcro
will bo Instructive talks given from time
; o time by many of the prominent educators
} f this city , and others. In short it la Intended -
tended to hold the minds of the young pee
) lo by every dovlco known which will bo of
jenefit to them.
AMUSING TUB BOYS AND GIRLS.
Above all the purpose of the Institute will
be to promote sociability. The rooms will
bo open all day and until late at night.
Heading room will f , .jn be provided and a
gymnasium Is being planned. As soon as
sufficient fund * way bo collected , Ilcv. Clark i
Intends to organize night clnsscH , both In
the main branches. Including reading , wrlt-
ii'K and arithmetic , -and - also 'In several of
the Industrial 'branches which will probably
include weed carving , carpentry and wo3d
turning. When warm weather returns field
clubs for iboth bay anJ girls will bo organ
ized for sports and study of natural history.
Mrs. Clark has taken charge of the girls
ind last Tuesday she gave a party In the
argelhall which was attended by over thirty.
Singing classes , others for learning needle ,
u-crk. housekeeping and klnJre.I pursuits j
will scon bo formed. Special framcn and
amusements will alas bo provided and It Is |
Intended that the girls thall not bo alighted I I
luany particular. A meeting of the girls' !
club will be held next Friday night , at
which officers'will bo elected and other plans
din cursed , and thereafter It la Intended that
Friday will bo the regular 1lmo for holding
the business cessions ,
At a meeting of the boys' club last Tues
day , George Cummlnga was elected president
ani It is expected that the row of the
officers will be named at the next meeting ,
which will be hcftd on December 7.
The religious -work - of the Institute will l > o
In charge of Itov. Clark , assisted by a num
ber of bU ministerial colleagues. Sunday
school cervices will bo conducted every Sab
bath afternoon , with gospel tneetliiEi at
night. There will be classes in bible study
which will meet every Saturday nlg'tnalso
prayer mectlnrvj on Thursday nights.
The work of pacing the new -h .me on a
firm financial bast-s l.as thus far been en
tirely In the hands of Rev. Clark. What
mney he has hu\1 feaa been frctly expended
ar.d he Is now looking to others to assUt him
in his efforts toward fouDJing a home for the
homel2ss. Many of the young who have al-
rc.-.dy been benefited by the Institution have
manifested a desire to pay a weekly due ct
25 cents , but beycnd this the home will have
to be supported by voluntary contributions.

the suit of the state to recover the quarter of
a .million . dollars which were sunk In the
Capital National bank of Lincoln by the fail
ure of the Institution during- the presidency

next January.
The suit was started shortly after the fail
ure of the bank. Itwas brought against the
'receiver ' , Kent 'Hayden ' , In the name of ex-
State Treasurer Bartley , who was at that
tlmo the state treasurer. In the early part
of the present term of the federal court -tho
case was revived In the name ot State Treas
urer Mcserve.
The postponement Is agreeable to Attorney
General Smythe from the fact that his time

btate cases. This month he will begin the ,
trial of the suits against the bondsmen cf exI I
State Auditor 'Moo-o ' : and the bondsmen of
ox-Oil Inspector Hilton and will also try n

City Electrician Schurlg has served , notlc *
on the lonal telegraph companies and the A.
D. T. company tnat they must place protec
tors on all their wires where they enter
buildings before December 10. A. similar
notice was served some time ago. but no at-
tcutlon was paid to It , and now It Is given
out cold that the wires will be cut unless the
regulation Is complied with.
The electrician contends that the present
condition ot this sort ot wiring Is a continual
menace to the safety of buildings. Under the
ordinance permits are not required for outside -
side construction unless poles are used , and
the wires .of the corporations mentioned have
been strung all over the rlty In countless
numbers. The danger consists dilefly In the
fact that these small wires are always llabl'o
to bo disarranged. For Instance a wire majl
bo strung along the roof ot a building ancV a
roofer or carpenter Ilndd It Inconvenient when ,
ho wants to inalio some repairs and kicks
the wlro away from its fastening. It Is lla-
blo to fall across a trolley or electric light
wire and the heavy current from the blc
"
"wire Is at once communicated. The email
wlro cannot carry such a current safely. It
is heated red hot and the point at which.
It enters a building Is at once rntide a source
of danger. Tmo protector Is a dovlco Wiat
shuts off the current at the point where the
wlra enters the building , thus preventing the
danger.
The trouble In Inducing the companies 'to '
put In the protectors is that the Job Involves
a considerable expense , which they do not
consider justified. For Instance on estab
lishment that has a messenger box almost
Invariably 'has ' a tclephono al.io. .In nlnaty-
nlno C.ISCK out of a hundred tlio tclephono la
use-d Instead of the signal box < aml In splto
of the Immense system of mcsienger boxes
the use of ti'nem Is conipirutlvely nlfrciiuont.
Consequently the company Is reluctant to
'spend n considerable amount of money on a
system that they ilcrlvo scarcely any benefit
from , but are compelled to int'lnt-in for tha
convenlenco of their patrons.
