A resolution by Hascall led to a consider
able dUcuMlon on tho sidewalk question.
It provided that no moro wooden walks be
repaired undor tho contract that prevailed
last year, as under It tho repairs wero
burdensomo to property owners. Ho said
in support of his resolution, that under the
contract as it existed tho contractor could
go out and practically rebuild a Bldownllc
that was 75 per cent gone nnd chargo It up
at repair rates, making It cost twlco as much
as a now walk, 'without any nntlco to tho
property owner. His resolution provided
that repairs costing to exceed 20 per cent
of the cost of a now walk cannot bo made
without notlco to the owner of tho real
estate and nn allowance of time for tho
latter to make tho repairs hlniHcIf, and
that repairs costing to execod CO por cent of
tho cost of a now walk shall not bo made
In any case. ,

W South Dakota man, W. A. Dawloy,
Sturgls, explains the condition some men
got Into from coffeeo drinking. Let It bo
understood that coffee scorns to agroe with
somo pooplo well enough, but when a por
son finds It does not agree. It Is better to
leavo It off. Ho saya; "I used coffco about
twenty years, and quit It September 20,
189S. I had become almost a complete
wreck, thin in llrsh and oranclated, dyspep

It was nn easy matter to leave off coffee
when I took Postum Food Coffee, for tho
food coffoe tasted as good as tho other, ond
to my surprlso, It set Kood on ray weak
stomach.
"I havo been buying tho Postum through
my grocer,, Mr, James Mover, and always
nave followed directions carefully. I liked
It from tho first and have drank Postum
three times n day ever since. Hnve gained

lAraos Dawloy of this city has ben com
pleter cured of dyspepsia In three months
by quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee, This la given you as an honest testi

Tho fourth of tho Woman's club muslcalcs
for tho present season was given Inst night
nt tho First Congregational church. Mr.
Oscar Gnrelssen was tho feature, appearing
In a program of carefully selected and very
varied songs, most of which wero well sung.
Tho progrnm was too long to be absorbing,
nnd the experiment of n Tvholp program
Hung by ono voice, however good, Is a fail
ure. The best urtlst, almost, will grow
monotonous.
Mr. Oarelssen was far moro at home In
his German songs than In any other part
of tho program; his enunciation was good,
and IiIh German was unquestionably excel
lent. These songs nro especially adapted
to Mr. Garolftfcn'B voice and stylo of tono
production, but bin Scotch, English and
IrUh ballads wero not convincing. They
did not suit his voice.
Mr. Garlesscn Is to bo congratulated upon
having Introduced to the people of Omaha
many splendid songs which nro too notice
ably absent from local concert programs,
nnd always havo been. It is a pleasure to
hear a now song, or a now "old" song, or

Difference In Time of
Compctliiic Lines,
Affirmation of tho reports that have been
current for some time relative to tho estab
lishment of a now Minneapolis-Kansas City
through service via tho Minneapolis k St.
Louis, Illinois Central and Missouri Pacific
has been galucd from authoritative source.
The chango of tho Missouri Pacific from the
Webster street depot to tho union station
April 29 will be followed almost Immediately
by the inauguration of this new service.
The chaugo In depots by the Missouri Pa
cific will permit tbo through car to go
through Omaha without auy delay necessi
tated by tbo transfer from one depot to the
other.
At pretent thcro aro three through car
services between Minneapolis and Kansas
City, provided by tho Chicago Great West
ern, tho Wabash and tho Omaha-Durllngton
lines. Tho latter route passes through
Omaha. Tho entry of the now combination
Into tho field will bo accomplished under
circumstances favorablo In overy respect.
Under tho present schedule the tltno Is
practically tho samo as that mado by the
other routes.
The Chicago Great Western, which has a
dlreot lino between Minneapolis and Kansas
City, has two dally trains each wny, tho
south-bound trains making the run In
twenty-three hours nnd twenty minutes
and nineteen hours nnd flfty-flvo minutes.
Tho servlco furnished by the Northwestern
"Oranha" lino In connection with the Kan
sas City, St. Joseph &. Council muffs sys
tem also provides two through trains dally,
tho tlmo from Minneapolis to Kansas City
via Omaha being ulncteccn hours and forty
mlnues and twenty-one hours and fifteen
minutes.
The Wabash has a through line In con
Junction with tho Iowa Central and the Chi
cago, Mllwaukco & St. Paul and Its time
southbound between tbo two points Is twenty-two
hours and thirty-five minutes.
Tho only thing that has prevented the
combination between tho Minneapolis ft St.
Iouts-IIllnola Central and Missouri Pacific
from tho time that tho Illinois Central first
entered Omaha has been tho separate depots
used by the two roads. The new through
car will leavo Minneapolis according to the
present tlmo schedules via the Minneapolis
& St. Louts nt 9 a. m., arriving in Omaha
over tho Illinois Central at 9:40 p. m. It
will bo transferred at tho Union station to
the Missouri Pacific Bouthbound.traln, which
will probably leavo at 10:15 p. m. and reach
Kansas City the next morning nt G o'clock.
This will mako the tlmo npproxlmotely
twenty-one hours, although this schedule
may bo lowered considerably when tho now
service Is put into operation. j

I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. 1
Ono of tho Important features of Mayor
Kelly's message to the council Monday
night was the recommendation that vagrants
and suspicious characters bo worked In
stead of being allowed to spend their time
Idly In tbo Jnll. Tho mayor favors a stone
yard, and more than this ho thinks that
such prisoners can be utilized In cutting
weeds on the streets. Such work as this,
he says, will not lnterfero with tho ordi
nary vocations of labor.
In this connection Mayor Kelly says:
"Uy reason of the vast industrial enter
priser of tho city and the great number of
men employed here, tho city Is and will bo
tho rendezvous nnd hiding placo of crimi
nals and vagrants. Hero they can htdo
themselves away' among tho many strangers
and worklngmon who in the nature of things
constantly come and go, and excuse their
presonco by the pretense of seeking em
ployment. "Moreover, they can sccuro employment for
a few days, and thoreby conveniently tldo
themselves over occasional periods of want
and distress. That this class Is a tucnaco to
good, government, a source of expense to tho
city nnd a standing peril to tho property and
llvee of tho citizens cannot be questioned
or doubted. I am of tho opinion that tho
punishment provided and ordinarily Im
posed is Insufficient. It Is believed that
there aro times when the vagrant class
commit minor offenses for no other pur
poso than to securo a teraiporary homo in
tho city or county Jail. That thcro should
bo such a clara Is unfortunate but this
city hns not caused such conditions and
Hhould not be required to bear tbo burden,
Henco I recommend such legislation as will
provldo for tho -working of such prisoners
during the' period for which they nro Im
prisoned for tho violation of city ordinances.
According to my Idea such legislation should,
provide for and Includo the working of only
thd criminals nnd vagrants nd should not
lncluda the occasional erring of any bona
fldo resident worklngmon, who might, per
chance, In an hour of vacation bo guilty of
nn occasional transgression. Nor would I
havs tho work to be done by this clara such
as might bo In competition with that which
legitimate labor might do for hire, or that
for which the city is ablo to hire, but only
that which tho city is not able to hire and
which, unless dono by tho means herein
suggested, would go undone. Tho objoct la
not to secure for tho city work without pay,
but to provldo an enforceable penalty which
will materially nld In ridding tho city of a
most objoctlonablo class, an end In which
laborer and mechanic, minister nnd mer
chant should havo a common impulso and
desire."
If his rocommctndatlona aro carried out
tho mayor thinks that it Is probable that
all prisoners of the class mentioned will
be put to work keeping tho streots and
alleys clrnn of weeds. A ntono yard Is ono
of the possibilities and It such a yard 1s
established the broken stone can .bo used
to good advantngo on tho Bcllevuo road
which runs through Albright. This road Is
traveled a great deal and Is full of holes Into
which vehicles sink almost to tho hub. It
tho stone Is .broken with slight expenso to
tho city It can bo carted to tho road and
spread by tho teams employed In tho street
department and In a vory short tlmo there
will bo n flrst-clnes macadam road from Q
street to tho Sarpy county line.
In connection -with tho establishment of a
stone yard it Is suggested that the unused
portion of Twenty-sixth Btreot, lying south
of tho Q street viaduct nnd east of tho
Union Paclflo tracks, bo surrounded by a
etockado and used for the purpose men
tioned. A stockndo could bo erected with
little expenso and thn prisoners would not
be required to walk but a short dlstanco to
and from work.
It Is assorted that tho establishment of
'a nunlshmont factory" at this point will
havo a good moral effect, as trampn will
see at onco where they will land if they
tarry here.
Mayor Kolly has looked into this matter
of a atone yard to somo extent and he says
that stono sultablo for tho purpose can bo
boutrht for about $10 a car. This stono If
broken can bo used, tho mayor says, by tho
street commissioner In filling holes In un-
paved stroots as well as In tho macadamiz
ing of South Twenty-fourth street.
Gnrhnire nnd Snnltnry Mnttern.
.if th rnmmmendatlons of the mayor aro
followed oxtenslvo changes in tho present,
annftnrv nnd trn rhaeo ordinance will bo
needed In order to thoroughly reform these
departments. If the removal of garbago is
to bo placed on a competlbro basis n now
nrdlnnnrn irnvernlnir tho Kmoval of tho
same will bo needed nnd th sanltnry ordi
nance will also need somo amendments. It
Is the Intention to refer theso matters to
committees ns soon as tho new council gets
In position to tako up matters or neep im
portance. Tho drafting of such ordinances
will tnko somo tlmo and will of necoeslty
requlro considerable thought and work.
Thnfr nnllnnnre ten dine townrd tho better
ment of tho present condition of affairs will
be passed thero Is no uouoi. everyone

coiiriiuemeitt In the Situation
nnd Freln (.insured of
Ample Support,
With tho encouragement, substantial and
otherwise afforded them by Omaha citi
zens slnco it became apparent that united
effort would hnvo to be made to Insuro tho
perpetuity of tho popular Ak-Sar-Hou fes
tivities, tho members of tho board of gov
ernors participated In an eminently satis
factory meeting nt tho Omaha club Tuesday
night. Assurances of sufficient financial
support to warrant n continuance of tho
plans for a moro clnborato celebration than
has ever been held awakened new Interest
on tho part of tho governors. Inspired by
tho public spirit shown In tho recent mass
meeting of Omaha cltlzans, tho delibera
tions of tho governors centered upon ono
Iden arrangement of a program for Ak-Sor-Ben
week surpassing nil former efforts.
"Wo nro moro than plcnsed with tho out
look of financial support," said Secretary
A. II. Noycs at tho conclusion of tho meet
ing4 "Committees began a canvasa of tho
city today nnd wero met on every hnnd with
flattering encouragomcnt and substantial
nld. Tho amount that wo will be ablo to
raise Is altogether a conjecture. Until wo
are ablo to base nn opinion upon tho prob
nblo amount it will bo Impossible for us to
nnnounco tho nature of our program, if wo
raise $15,000 wo will preparo a program, tho
expenso of which will bo liquidated by that
amount. Of courro, wo expect to secure
more than this sum, but whatever wo may
bo ablo to raise, Just that amount nnd no
more will bo expended on tho celobrutlon.
Consequently, tho greater tho sum tho bet
ter the program, for no Indebtedness what
ever will bo Incurred for which wo havo
not tho funds In sight to cover.
Will Take l'i n Week.
"We havo decided to arrango n program
that will occupy tho ontlro tlmo of the last
week In September nnd it Is already agreed
that tho two features which in tho past
havo. boon so popular the grand ball and
King Ak-Sar-Bon's triumphal parade will
bo continued. Wo havo numerous other at
tractions under consideration to occupy tho
remaining time. Perhaps wo will bo nblo by
next week to decide upon tho ontlro pro
gram. All of tho different features wo hnvo
under advisement nro of exceptional merit
and It is n certainty thnt our, festivities
this year will bo absolutely Inromparablo
with former attractions. Itcnn bo stated now
that tho governors' look with considerable
favor upon n plan for a superb tournament
that will provo Interesting to all classes of
peoplo and will be something-tho llko of
which has never been seen In this section
of tho country.
"ltohearsals for tho Initiatory proceedings
havo been In progress during tho past week
and will bo continued until tho public Ini
tiations aro commenced early next month.
The Initiation this year Is a most interest
ing ono nnd comprises features of decided
originality. No Omaha man who becomes
a Knight of Alt-Sar-Ucn this year will evor
regret It."

"A year ago last February I was takon with rheumatism. My hands
welled, nnd I sulfered from aorencus In the Joints of my srini nd
limbs. At my nge this was quite serious matter, nnd I employed two
doctors, but they did not euro me. Ono day my sun found a little book
nt tho door which contained a statement by a minister who formerly
preached here, and whs known to be n limn otxrent truth nnd honesty.
Over his signature be stilted thnt be bad bucti cured of rheumMtsra by
Dr. Williams' l'lnk rills for 1'nlo People. 1 told my doctor If ho was
willing I woutd try the pills myself. Tho minister whose stnUmint I
had rend wki known to tbo doctor, nnd tho latter did not object, to 1
tried the pills. I soon begnn to see an Improvement. Tho swelling
went doxrn nnd thtro wns less sorenets. 1 continued the use of the
pills, In nil soven boxes, nnd wns entirely cured. If I nm ever troubled
with the rheumatism ncnln I shall surely tnlco Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Palo People, ond ndvlio ethers to do so who nro mulcted with this
disease" Signed Husan 11. Kduands.
Dr. Williams' Pink Tilts for Tale Tcople expel Impurities from the
