The attorney (or John Redell, chief of
toe Are department, secured a temporary re
straining order from Judge Estclle at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon forbidding the
Board of Fire nnd Police Commissioners
from Interfering In any way with his
administration of his office. The hearing
for a permanent order will bo before Judge
Estell Saturday.
Numerous charges had been preferred
against Redell by John W. Bruder, a former
member of the department, alleging bru
tality, Insubordination and Immorality. The
board had planned a hearing for Friday
night, and expected to consume three or
four days In hearing the voluminous tes
timony. Mayor Moores and other board
members were served with the order last
night.
The petition upon which the order was
granted alleges that the members of tho
board are prejudiced against Redell, and
therefore Incompetent to try him. A plea
of non-Jurlsdlctlon Is also set up.
Major Assure Fairness.
"A number of circular letters written by
ths same person, but signed by various
business men, have been vent to me pro
testing against the dismissal of Chief John
Redell of the fire department. A carload
of such letters will have no effect on the
Board of Flro and Pollco Commissioners.
Charges have been filed against the chief
and If It Is shown that they are true ho
will probably be dismissed. No man should
be In his position who Is guilty of the acts
with which he la charged," remarked Mayor
Moores. "If Redell Is Innocent he will not
suffer.
"When the evidence In the, hands of the
board Is made public It Is likely that thero
will be qulto a change of sentiment among
persons who are so exercised because iho.
board presumes to Investigate the chief's
actions and find out what truth there Is In
the complaints with which the board haa
been burdened for months.
All from One Sourer.
"The letters mailed to rac have all come
from one source. They were probably In
spired br members of tho Commercial club
or by Chief Redell. Tho men who signed
the letters know but little about the
charges. Many of them have been told
that politics prompted tho charges. Noth
ing Is further from the truth. Chief Redell
has bad so much trouble with his men that
the board Is forced to make an Investiga
tion. "He Is given credit for all the results
brought about by his department. The offi
cers under him, tho men who really do tho
work, are not credited with ability. It
should also be borne In mind that the Im
proved apparatus of the department Is In
part responsible for Its efficiency.
"The board Is In a position to know much
mors about Chief Redell than men who do
cot even have personal acqualntanco with
him. I have frequently been told that Chief
Redell abuses his men and has them so
much In fear of him that they are powerless
to do their best work. Personally. I do not
approve of such methods and I do not be
lieve that the people of Omaha care to
have their firemen treated as though they
ware slaves."
A canvass among the members'of 'the Are,
department Is said to havo shown that, 90
per cent of the members of the department
ara anxious to have Chief Redell removed.

South Omaha News
That the credit of South Omaha Is first
class was shown last night, when In open
session the council opened a bid for 50,000
refunding general Indebtedness bonds.
This new Issue will bear date of June 1.
1901, and will run for ten years, drawing
4V4 per cent Interest. O. W, Hoobler of
Omaha was the only bidder for these se
curltlea and he offered a premium of $313.
Accompanying the bid was a cashier's
check for $1,000, payable to the city and
without conditions. Of course the bid was
promptly accepted. An adjourned meeting
of the council will be held at noon Wednes
day for the purpose ot Introducing the or
dinances necessary to this Issue When
thl is done Clerk Sbrlgley can proceed at
onca with the work ot preparing the his
tories of the Issue In order that there be
no delay In the consumptlou of the deal.
Owing to the low rate ot Interest offered lha
finance committee was dubious about re
ceiving bids for these bonds and Mr.
Hoobler'i offer of a premium was quite a
surprise. The proposed Issue refunds
bonds now drawing 8 per cent Interest.
Twenty-fourth street Is to be repaired
at once. Two bids for this work wore re
ceived last night, both in tho Grant and Bar
ber asphalt companies competing. The
Grant company bid $1.40 a equaro yard for
asphalt and $5.25 a cubic yard for concrete.
Engineer Deal estimated that It would cost
In the neighborhood ot $2,500 to do the
work thoroughly, but the council felt that
$2,000 was enough to expend at this time.
Mr. Beal said that the sum mentioned would
repair all of the bad holes and when this
Is done the street commissioner will fill
the smaller boles with concrete tho same as
was done last year. At the suggestion ot
Mayor Kelly the Grant company will bs
required to complete the repaying by July
1 In order to have the street In a presenta
ble condition before the street fair opons.

tract for laying permanent sidewalks.
Their bid was II cents a square foot.

It was accepted without comment.
Defective sewers in the city Jail have
caused considerable expense of late and
the clerk was directed to notify the

Mr TKior.
For three centuries or more, remarks the
historian of the New York Tribune, there
have appeared at short Intervals learned
disquisitions upon the properties of tobacco
and Its effects upon the human system,
baleful or beneficial. One of the earliest ot
these essays appeared In London In 1610
and bore this extended title: "The Trlall of
tabacco; wherein his value Is most worthily
expressed, as in the name, nature and
qualltle ot sayd bearb, his speclall use In all
physlcke, with the true and right use of
taking It, as well for the seasons and
times, and also the complexions, disposi
tions and constitutions ot such bodies and
persons .as are fittest, and to whom It Is
most profitable to tako It."
What la probably the latest sermon on
the subject appeared In a recent number ot
the London Lancet. This was a compara
tively short article, In which the doctrlno
was uttered that nicotine, which baa
hitherto been held responsible for any 111
effects nttendlng the use. ot tobacco, Is
practically harmless, so far as smoking K
concerned, and that the mischief making
element Is pyridine. A parallel was drawn
between this shifting ot blame and that,
which has occurred In relation to whisky.
It was formerly believed that It was the
fusel oil In a poor grade ot that liquor
which gave rise to headaches, whereas It Is
now alleged that furfural causes the
trouble.
Having formulated its Indictment against
pyridine, the Lancet proceeds to remark
that the amount of this substance which
reaches tbo smoker's, lips depends upon his
method ot smoking and upon' the complete
ness of combustion during that operation.
It alleges that less pyridine enters the
mouth when one uses cigarettes than from
a pipe ara cigar. The pipe Is regarded as
preferable to the cigar, because It con
denies the pyridine.
Pyridine, It should be explained. Is a
volatile liquid well known (o chemists. It
Is composed of carbon, hydrogen and nitro
gen In somewhat different proportions' from

Burdette Lewis, a member of the graduat
ing class of the High school, presented the
Board of Education with a beautiful rose
wood cane on behalf ot the manual train
ing department ot the school. He made a
short plea for an extension ot the manual
training courso and urged that Omaha offer
four years ot such training to High school
students. President Hayward responded
briefly to the presentation address. Upon
motion of W. F. Johnson the board voted
to give the cane to President Hayward.
Through oversight E. W. Johnson, Jan
itor at the Long annex, was not among the
Janitors placed upon the permanent list.
Mr, Johnson's service entitled him to such
election and by unanimous vote ot the
board the secretary was Instructed to have
Mr. Johnson placed on the list.

taste. Is commonly found In coal tar, and
Is no doubt produced by the burning of
almost any vegetable fibre.
Unfortunately, the medical publication
which launches this interesting theory upon
tho world quotes nobody and gives no de
tails of the Investigations uron which Its
remarks are based, Its method of proce
dure Is unscientific, therefore, and not cal
culated to carry conviction with people who
are accustomed to weigh evidence with care
and to base their opinions upon tacts that
are thoroughly established.
This subject having been brought to the
attention of Ismar S. Ellison, editor of the
United States Tobacco Journal, he ex
pressed much skepticism, He resents the
suggestion that one method of smoking Is
more Injurious than another. He thinks
that It all depends upon one's constitution
and taste. One person can smoke without
harm, while another cannot. When Mr.
Ellison cannot smoke at all It Is a sign
that be Is sick. And he prefers a cigar
to a pipe or a cigarette, and despises cigar
holders. He Is particular about the brand
of cigar which he smokes. There are
also many kinds that he cannnot tolerate.
Mr. Ellison woud Interfere to prevent chil
dren from smoking, Just as be would re
strict the sale of liquors. But he severely
condemns doctors who try to prevent ma
ture people from Indulging in the practice.
Some idea of the relative amount ot
tobacco smoked In the three ways referred
to here may be derived from the following
figures kindly furnished by Mr. Ellison.
The domestic production of leaf tobacco
In 1599 was about 600,000,000 pounds. Nearly
halt of this was exported. But a good deal
waj Imported, also. About 92,100,000
pounds of leaf were made up Into cigars
in this country. The tobacco manufac
tured for smoking In pipes amounted to
about 102,000,000 pounds, while the raw ma
terial going Into the domestic cigarettes
was not far from 11,500,000 pounds. No

The Ambitious young student ot elocution
was making a supreme effort In the Col
lege of Oratory on the third floor of the
Boyd theater building last evening while
the wind howled and blustered outside. He
gave promise of outdoing Marc Antony,
but Just then a huge sign crashed through
the window and put a sudden end to all
thoughts of Julius Caesar's obsequies.
A corner of the great sign which sur
mounted the entrance ot Boyd's theater,
with the name cmblatened In electric
globes, struck the young orator on the
head, felling him to the floor, but for
tunately causing no serious Injury. He was
cared for at the theater pharmacy and
disappeared before his name and address
could be learned.
After breaking the plate glass window
on tho third floor and Interrupting the
elocution leison the sign fell to the pave
ment and was wrecked. It was 8x20 feet In
size, cost $300 a tew years ago and Is an
almost total wreck.
The only other damage reported from the
heavy wind which accompanied last night's
rain was the breaking of a large plate
glass window In the Her Grand block at
Sixteenth and Jackson streets.
Last night's rainstorm seems to have
been general all over the state. No de
tailed reports are at hand, but the Western
Union Telegraph company furnishes tho
Information that rain tell from as far west
as North Platte to the river and entirely
across the state north and south.

The first souvenir matinee ot the Omaha
musical festival will take place Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A full 50-cent
package of Hudnut's violet sachet powder,
put up In a handsome purple packet, a new
and very odorous perfume, will be pre
sented to every woman attending this mat
inee with the compliments of a local drug
company. Several other souvenir mattneps
are being arranged for and when the dates
are fully agreed on they will be announced
later. They comprise already a number cf
nttractlve novelties that will be given
away by different firms to the women who
are In attendance.
The proposed chorus of trained voices
ot several hundred school children, under
the direction of Miss Fannie Arnold, which
already lies the sanction of Superintendent
Pearse and which will undoubtedly receive
the approval ot the Board of Education,
promises to be the most notable and at
tractive event of the musical festival. Led
by the famous Bellstedt cornet band, this
grand chorus will be simply Incomparable
and It Is predicted that on the occa
sion of their first appearance the pavilion
and grourds will be packed as they never
have been before, either during the present
engagement or during last September. The
date of the first appearance of this great
chorus will be anxiously looked for by sev
eral thousands of people.

The annual "ladles' nfght" of the Ne

Metropolitan club rooms, la'it.nlght was one
of the most pleasant of the banquets and
receptions given by the society. About
twenty couples sat down ;to the tables in
the dining room, which was decked with
cut flowers, roses and carnations prevail
ing. Th menu was good and the service was
much better than the average, so from a
gastronomlcal standpoint the evening was a
decided success.
After the coffee had been served Simon
Goetz, president ot the association, Intro
duced R. H. Gould, whose remarks for the
good of the order were highly appreciated.
Mrs. Goetz rendered a vocal solo, giving
those present an opportunity to hear a
voice not beard often enough In public.
Mrs. H. D. Neeley spoke on behalf ot the
women present. S. R. Elson gave a read

SENATOR MILLARD SAYS NO
Denies Any Knowledge of t'nder
atnndlnir aa to Office
holders. '
Senator Millard has given out tor pub
lication a statement to the effect that there
has been no agreement between Senator
Dietrich and himself relative to the tenure
ot government officeholders In Nebraska
The senator says, so far as he knows, the
Incumbents of federal positions have not
been limited as to the time thoy shall
serve, and be Intimates that It Is not
his Intention to become a party to such an
agreement.
The Ciyar, the Pipe and
the Cigarette.
allowance Is made here for imported cigars.
These numbered 30,000,000, or not to exceed
1,000,000 or 1,500,000 pounds, In 1839. It would
therefore appear that the amount of tobacco
smoked In the pipe In this country Is almost
as great as that smoked In the other two
ways put together. Whether this Is be
cause a man can get more smoke for the
same amount of money In this manner or
not, It Is hard to say. Mr. Ellson scoffs at
the Idea that the pipe Is the poor man's
smoke.
While one cannot yet regard the Lan
cet's theory that nicotine Is harmless as
fully established, It Is Interesting to note
that a so-palled "health" cigar has been
Invented In Germany which Is made of
tobacco In which the nicotine Is neutralized
by chemical means. The cigar has found
some sale in this country, but the patents
covering the process ot manufacture have
been acquired by the American Tobacco
company.
This suggests to the Tribune writer a
curious line ot thought. It Is only a short
time since there was a tremendous outcry
against the cigarette as the cause ot
wrecked constitutions and no end ot In
sanity. It was said to be made of refuse,
to contain opium, arsenic and other pot
tons and to be nothing less than a dia
bolical product whose use should be sup
pressed. Well, In 1S97 William If, Garri
son collected a good deal of testimony from
prominent chemists relative to the purity
of the constituents ot the leading brands
ot cigarettes, and baaed thereon a little
pamphlet entitled "A Brief for the Clgar
rette." Shortly afterward Clark Bell of
the Medico-Legal society elicited letters
from a score or more Insane asylum super
Intendents or surgeons, exploding the fal
lacy that smoking produced Insanity. The
Inquiry was directed more particularly to
the use ot cigarettes, however, and greatly
strengthened the case made out by Mr
Garrison. Even without the Lancet's novel
plea, therefore, the cigarette enjoys a
pretty decent character today.

COLUMBIA, S. C, June 3. Governor
McSwetny today received a letter from
Senator McLaurln, In part as follows:
My Dtar Sir: Your letter of May 31, In
which you decline to accept my resignation
as United States senator, Is received.
"I appreciate fully the force of tho
reasons given by you, and the effect on
the people ot the state of a heated and
strtfo-produclng contest for United States
senator this year. For tho sake of the
peace, prosperity and happiness of the
people of this state I urn willing to hold
on to my commission as United States
senator and continue to serve the state at I
have done In the past to the best ot my
ability. But In retaining my seat In the
senate 1 will not consent to be handicapped
or bossed by anyone claiming a right to
Judge my motives and actions. I propose
to exercise my Judgment on all national
questions under the Influence of a high
sense of responsibility to the people and
to work for the upbuilding of the political
and material Interests of the state. I rec
ognize fully my accountability to the
sovereign people and am always ready to
give a strict account of my official acts In
them."
After declaring that a Joint debate would
obscure disputed bitterness and personali
ties the senator continues:
"All that I have claimed Is this right of
the people, and my right to enlighten them
on these questions whenever called upon.
In my effort to do this I was interfered
with by the senior senator, who affirmed
that my doctrines wero political heresies
and hurtful to the people. My wish Is that
all public questions may be freely and
fully discussed before the people and I will
be content to abide by their decision upon
them. In consenting to hold on to my
commission I wish It understood that It
Is In response to your patriotic appeal that
It Is for the good of tho state, and not be
cause I feared to go before the people and
discuss with the senior senator or others
the national Issues of the day. I am a pub
lic servant of the people and It Is my duty
and pleasure always to promote their Inter
ests In every way I can."

3833 Waist with Bolsroi,
32 to 40 in. butt
Woman's Waist with Bolero. No. 3835
To be made made with or without the
fitted lining. Boleros and bolero effects
continue to held their place In popular re
gard and promise to extend their vogue
for an Indefinite time. The smart and
dainty waist Illustrated exemplifies one
ot the best and newest designs and Is pe
culiarly well adapted to the combinations
of lace and delicate materials for which
the season Is remarkable, although many
other fabrics are suitable and might easily
be substituted. Crepe de Chine with lace
Is charming. Any soft plain silk with
bolero of warp-printed louislne or brocade,
the trimming only of lace, would be ad
mirable, and similar changes can be de
vised by the score; but the original com
bines mull with guipure and Is unllned.
The waist Is laid In groups ot tucks that
run to yoke depth and provide soft folds
below and closes under the center group,
the fact being concealed by the fullness.
Between the tucks are applied pointed bands
of lace, beneath which the material may
be cut away If so desired. The bolero la
shaped in most becoming lines, and Is
deeper at the back, while It becomes
scarcely more than a point at the front,
where it 13 held by a tiny Jeweled frog,
The sleeves are novel and effective, tight
fitting at the lower portion, where they
are shade ot Inserted tucking, but slightly
flaring above the elbows, while a soft
full falls between.
To make this waist for a woman of
medium size, 3 yards 21 Inches wide, 3
yards 32 Inches wide, or 1 yards 44 Inches
wide, with li yards of all-over lace for
bolero, 1 yard of inserted tucking for lower
portion of sleeves, 1?; yards of Insertion,
will be required.
