The class of ' 00 of the dental department
of the University of Omaha held KB com
mencement exercises last evening In the
banquet room of the Mlllard hotel.
It was the Inauguration of a plan to ob
serve commencement day by n banquet In
stead of the customary exercises in ft hall ,
and the trustees , together with members of
tlin faculty and the graduating class , as
sembled around the banquet board to make
the occasion ono of distinction and one
memorable In the lives of the yount ; men
and women who went forth equipped with
the diplomas of their alma mater.
The looms were tastefully decorated with
palms and potted iilnlita while at Intervals
down the length of the tables were banks of
roies and ferns In artistic designs , Inter-
Fporscd with vases containing clusters of
long-stemmed American Ileauty roses.
After the Invocation by Hov. David H.
Kcrr , chancellor of the university , the tables
were loaded with good" things to cat and
drink , nnd In the lively conversation of
goodfcllowshlp the minutes slipped by un
noticed until the end of the feast , when
nev. Mr Kcrr arose to respond to the toast
"Tho University. "
Ills lemarks were brief and referred
chiefly to the progress made in the differ
ent departments of the Institution nnd the
thoroughness of the work.
Members of the class then took places bo-
foio Dean Hunt at the hend of the tnblo for
the announcement nt graduntcs. Afterward
came the conferring of degrees by the chan
cellor and the address to graduates by J.

Seldom has a local tirtlst been greeted
by sui-h a tremendous nudlenco as tint
which assembled Tuesday night to hear tin-
concert nt the First Congregational church
toy Mr. Hans Albert , assisted by some ot
Ills bcr t professional friends.
Representatives of society were out In
full force , and there > was n strong repre
sentation of local musicians and out of
town professionals. In these days when
everyone Is becoming n specialist the stan
dard of vlrtutslly has necessarily gone up ,
but measured by that iucroised standard ,
the soloist on Tuesday night's program
liioved that ho was up to itho mark.
Ot a supremely nervous temperament Mr.
Albert has novelthcless a supply of digni
fied reserve , and his ) playing was markel
by moro than nn ordinary amount of rc-
p e His technique was 'brilliant ' to say
( no least , and the delicacy with which hf
j-ljyed such compositions as the "Eapa-
tend " w.is dangerously near -porfcctltn
it T.lrl"a 'a ' onp. sratlfylOR. thing about this
"rf Int ; ' lirlfst. UB ho humorously olllrd
hi'iisolf one night when he added "so 1 take
r o jeist every day , " and that Is tint no
amount of adulation will ever serve to tuin
hU head lie Is distinctively modest about
h fi ab Illy , In fact , too much so tor hlh own
gmd His generosity waa exemplllleJ last
nl ht by the vvny In which ho dlspen'ed en
cores , not the least acceptable belni ; the
charming llttlo ( paraphrase of his own on
thu "Suwnneo River" theme.
The string quartet which made Its In
itial appearance was well received and It
WT a happy thought of the program-
maker to Introduce It. The second \iolln
was played by Mr. Hlgglns , the viola by Mr
Huster , nnd the cello by Mr. Letovsky. In
the quartet 01 r. Ixjtovsky gave place to Air.
Cirl Smith , while ho played the bass viol.
In the Schumann "Abcndlled" Mr. Albert
played solo while Mr. Hlgglns took first
violin , changing with 'Mr. ' Hoffman , who
played second
This quintet should become a permanent
organization. The personnel could not bo
Improved upon and 'Lho ' reception which < was
accorded allowed plainly that thu Omaha
people are hungry for that kind of music.
Mr. LandsbcrK 'was ' nt the piano and again
demonstrated his anoro than ordinary abil
ity. Ho Is an enthusiast and a scholar and
to his forethought and arduous work the
nudleiuo In Indebted for Its enjoyment of
the magnificent Tschnlkowsky coneerto ,
which whllo severely high clat-s In some
placea for the average listener , and occupy
ing over half an hour did not seem to weary
those who were not as well Initiated as the
musicians , who were completely iwrought ui >
over thai glganllc piece of jiiuical archi
tecture.
'It la ibut fair to 'Mr. ' Albert to say that
hln Interpretation was highly satisfactory ,
nnd his execution seemed to bo the best
woik of the evening , which was all good.
The program was the most artistic ami
the most strictly nccuinto that has been
placed in the hands of a ciltlc for many ,
many moon * .
U IN to bo hoped that Mr. Hans Albert
will nut wait such a long .tlmo again before
he. gives another recital as the audience
which ho drew on this inclusion will lit )
duplicated the next tlmo ho gives such Illus
trious examples of his genius ns he ill I

There has recently been noticed at some
of our grocery stores what the exhibitors
call a Tjaklng powder teat. Two or three
girls , who H appears are agents for an
alum baking powder , distribute chocolate
and biscuit to the visitors , and then pre
tend to show by some 'boiling ' test that pure
cream of tarter baking powders contain
something which every woman of Intel
ligence knows they do not.
It docs not need a chemist to expose this
trick. Cream of tartar , which Is the chief
constituent of the best and most wholesome
baking powders , Is originally a clear , white
crystal. This Is ground Into a fine , creamy
Hour , In which form , mixed with baking
soda , It Is present In the taking powder.
Cream of tartar when mixed with water and
boiled simply returns to Its crjbtnlline form ,
am this Is all there Is to the so-called test.
< pl'i matter of special Interest to the
! ir Is to know \\hntithese people offer In
I i' of crearn of tartar powders of well-
known puilty nnd established reputation
uglnst which these slanders are directed.
They are ottering a baking powder which
Illclal analyses have repeatedly shown U
nude from cheap and Inferior Ingredients ,
ts chief constituent being alum , a drug so
veil recognized by physicians and scientists
as Injurious to health that in many
countries Its use In bread Is entirely pro-
ilblted ! So cheap nnd Inferior are the In-
rcdlents of this powder that it costs to
nako less than three cents a pound. No
prudent housowlfo will knowingly put such
stuff as this Into her food.
A suit for $10,000 damages has recently
been brought against a Plttsburg dealer ,
vlio sold an article which Injured the health
of the purchaser. It Is a question how far
ho grocer's icsponslblllty goes who grants
ho use of his premises for the sale of
goods b > deceptive practices. Certainly he
cannot by so doing otherwise than discredit
his business methods generally in the minds
of his patrons.

OMAHA April I. To the Editor of The
Dee In last Sunday's Bee I read an Item
.o the effect that the federal government
iiid at last aroused Itself from the lethargy
in which It has reposed since the breaking
up of the Ku Klnx during Oi ant's admlnls-t
tratlon It would be an act of humanity./
low that the Filipinos aio about conquered *
for the prebldent to send a few of our avail
able troops Into the oppressoJ reglonsi and
lirlng all those to justice who aio ( as it
seems ) dissatisfied unless they are always
on the track of some poor negro for niV
alleged ci'Jmo which Is laid upon him b
a class which has not as much sense as the *
negro.
SVcrc Ihero so many negroes killed by
Judge Lynch before the emancipation procla
mation ns there are today' No. And why
not7 Simply because the negro was con
sidered no better than a beast of burden
and was thought Incapable of any crime. '
Hut since he has been declared free and
has shown a disposition to be somebody
ho miiht bo accused of bomo crime that Is
committed by another or when he has shown
his ability to hold a responsible position
ho I ? warned to leave his post of duty , nnd
if ho refuses , is put to death llko a dog
nnd hU children driven out of doors or
alain as their father was before them.
Where is the honor of the United Statei
government , H government of the people. ,
by the people , for the people ? Apparently
that docs not Include the necro of the south.
Earnestly hoping that , ns the government
has at last begun Its movement against
Judge Lynch In the south that it will
leave no stone unturned In Its effort to con
vict the murderers of Postmaster Fiazer II.

This was the most Important matter that
arose during the course of the meeting ,
which was uneventful except for the at
tempts made by the city fiithcM to discover
some fund to pay the bills Incurrol In sup
pressing the late smallpox epidemic nnd In
caring for smallpox patients. The matter
was brought up by Mayor iMoorcs In u veto
of appropriations made out of the health
fund or the payment of these bills at the
meeting of the council. The veto was
based on the same grounds an vetoes on
similar Items In the past , that the levy for
the health fund was made so low by the
council that only enough money for fixed
charges was furnished nnd no provision was
made for emergencies such as smallpox
scare. If the cxiM-nso of looking after the
epidemic Is to bo taken out of the healtii
fund , Mayor iMooros Bald that a big deficit
will exist In the fund nt the end of the
year nnd the health department officials
will bo liable to Impeachment for spending
money to suppress an epidemic He In-
Meted that tlio expenses should bo paid out
of the general fund. A majority of the
couucllnien acted llko men up a tree over
the matter. They admitted that the health
fund could not stand Hie expenditure and
also agreed that the general fund levy Is
too low to pay It. The \eto , however , was
sustained Later In the meeting the Items
were charged against the general fund and
will bo included In this month's appropria
tion shoot.
City Attorney Connell relieved the coun
cil of nnxlety over the possibility that the
city would have to pay damages for quar-
nntl Ing Uho Vcndomo hotel for smallpox.
Trio city attorney gave It as 'his ' opinion
that no damages could be collected ana
consequently the bill of some $3SOO prc-
eonted by the Vendome hotel proprietors
was placed on Hie.
North side residents presented another pe
tition for the removal of the smallpox hos
pital near Miller park. This was placed on
file.
More Vc-topH.
Mayor Moores also vetoed appropriations
out of the health fund for the pajment of
bills for removing dead animals for the
same reasons for which he vetoed the payment -
mont of the smallpox claims. This veto
was not sustained.
The major also vetoed the ordinances
creating street Improvement districts for
the paving of West Dewey nvenuo and of
Patrick nvenuo from Twcntj-fourth to
Twenty-seventh streets because of clerical
errors. The vetoes were unanimously bus-
tained.

MS. PINKIIAM'S WAENING TO WOMEN.
Nogloot ia the Forerunner of Misery nnd Suffering A Grateful Hus
band Writes of His Wife's Recovery.
Nearly all the ill health of women is traceable ( o some derangement of the
fcmiui'ne organs. These derangements do not cure themselves , nnd neglect of
the sensations resulting from them is only putting
off trouble.
Pathetic btories arc constantly coming to Mrs.
Pinkluun of women whoso neglect lias resulted in
serious heart trouble and a whole train of woes.
Here is the story of a woman who was helped
by Mrs. PinUham after other treatment failed :
DKAH Miss. PINKIIAM : It affords mo very
great pleasure to be able to state that 1 believe
niy wife owes her health to jour medicine
and good advice. For three years her
health failed rapidly ; she hud heart trou
ble , often falling down in A\vy \ nnd
fainting spells , shortness of breath ,
' choking and smothering spells , bloating -
ing of the stomach , a dry cough , dys
peptic symptoms , menses irreg.
nlar , scanty , nnd of nn un
natural color Hhe had been
treated by physicians with but
little beneill. .Shu has taken
your treatment according to
your directions , nnd is better
in every way. I am well pleased
with the -result of your
treatment , and give you
permission to use my letter
for tlio benefit of others.

. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound for all fe
male Ills Is so well established that it needs no argument. For over twenty
years it has been used by women with results thataro truly wonderful.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all women who are puzzled about their health to write
to her at Lynn , Mass. , for advice. All such correspondence is seen by women
only , and no charge is made.

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medi
cal Science lias Accomplished.
The Prompt Wny to Cure Yourself When Symptoms Show Tlmt Your
Hlooil is Out of Order ,
The Eminent Specialist's ' Free Offer to All Readers
of "The Bee , "
For n great many years It has been tlio
custom for sick people to say : "My blood
Is out of order. H needs purlfjlng. I
feel all used up. My skin needs dealing.
My brain feels tiled. "
They tire right , but do they act right ?
They generally go and get n laxative
( bowel-cleaner ) to pnilfy their blood.
Does their blood run through their bow
els ?
Science has today furnished pi oofs that
nil the purifying thai votir blood needs , In
fact , nil that can bo done , must bo done by
jour kldnojs.
All the blood In jour body passes through
jour kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the Im-
puiltles In the blood that Is their work.
Purlfvlng your blood Is not a question of
taking n laxative or phvslc.
Docs jour blood run through jour bowels"
What Iho bowel-cleaner docs Is to throw-
out the poisons confined In your bowels
ready for nbsorbtlen Into jour blood , but
the poisons which arc alicndy In your blooa ,
causing jour present sickness , It leavei
there.
Thorn Is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of jour kidneys
That Is vvliy bowel-cleaners fall to do
tl'cli work they fall to help the kidneys.
When jou arc sick , then , no matter what
you think Iho iinmo of j-our disease Is. the
first thing jou should do Is to afford nld to
jour kidneys by using Dr Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot , the great Kidney Hemedj
In taking Swamp-Hoot jou afford natural
help to nature , for Swamp-Hoot Is the most
rerfect healer and gentle nld to the kldnojs
that Is known to mcdle.il bclencc.
Dr. Kllmor , the eminent phjslclan and
specialist , lins attained n fnr-fiuncd repxt
latlon through the discovery ami marvelous
success of Swiimp-Hoot In purifying the
blcod , and thereby curing rhtonle and dat
gerous diseases , mused by sick kidneys , of
which some of the Bjmptnnis are given bo-
low. '
Pain or dull ache in the back or head ,
rheumatism , neuralgia , nervousness , dizzi
ness , Irregulnr heart , sleeplcHsness , Hallow
