Have "eyes bigger than their stomachs,"
according to ati old saying. Thev over,
eat themselves, nnd nrc tempted by all
aorta of injurious and indigestible edi
bles. As a consequence the foundation
of serious stomach trouble is often laid
in childhood.
For children with "weak" digestion or
whose stomachs are diseased, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medicnl Discovery may
be confidently recommended. It cures
diseases of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, so that the
nourishment contained in food is per
fectly assimilated and the puny child is
built up by food into a condition of
robust health,
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discovery." There is nothing "just
ns good " for diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition..

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
roposed Bedistricting of the Oltj u Re

COST OF HIGH SCHOOL IS REDUCED
l'rneiiem Are Anftlttiteil for the FortH-
t'oiuliiK Term l.iirxe Aeeiimuln
tlou of Cl()' I.vkiiI
Matters.
One ot the Important features ot the
council meeting last night was tho Intro
duction ot an ordinance by Johnston tor
tho redisricting of the city as regards
voting precincts. Since the new charter
has been In force the city has been di
vided into six wards and this necessitates
change In the voting and registration
districts.
With a view to preparing for the fall
campaign tho ordinance was Introduced at
this time. It provides for two voting pre
cints in each of the six wards, making an
Increase of three polling places over the
old system.
Tho ordinance as Introduced was referred
to tho Judiciary committee for considera
tion.
The dividing lines ot the districts as out
lined by the ordinance follow:
Tbo Klrst ward is divided Into two pre
cincts, or districts, for election purposes.
All that part of the ward east of Twenty-
first street Is to constitute district No. 1
and that west ot Twcnty-tirst street district
No. 2.
In tbo Second ward two districts aro
crentcd. Tho first district Is composed of
that part of the ward located east of
Twcnty-tirst street and all portions west
of Twnty-flrst strcot shall constitute tho
second district.
It Is tho same In tho Third ward, two dis
tricts will be recommended. All portions
of the ward east of Twenty-seventh street
constitute district No. 1 and all west dis
trict No. 2.
For the Fourth ward the dividing line
Is the Union Pacific tracks. All voters
living east of tho tracks will be In dis
trict No. 1 and those west of the right of
way In district No
The Fifth ward, although cut Into only
two pieces, Is tho largest In the city. Two
voting districts are mapped out. Tho first
district takes In that part cast of Thirty-
fourth street and tho portion west of the
same street will make up district No. 2
The portlou of the Sixth ward north of
J street Is to bo known as district No, 1
and that south of J street district No. 2.
Another feature of considerable Impor
tance was tho report of tho special com
mittee sent to the stockyards to talk about
the exenslon of the Mud creek sewer. This
committee, through Chairman Johnston,
submitted a lengthy report. The com
mlttco said: "This matter was thoroughly
discussed by all the parties preseut, and
on the part of the corporation all, or nearly
all, of the representatives were of tho
opinion that the city should bear tho cntlro
expense of the proposed Bewcr. No propo
sition of any kind was made to tho com
mittee to pay any part of the cost of tho
sewer, tho corporation representatives
claiming that tho city should provldo sewer
facilities for all Industries located In tho
city, as well as to the people generally.
Tho packers claimed that their plants wcro
all connected with the stockyards sewer
and consequently If any nuisance exists It
Is not caused by them." Continuing, tho
report says; "Tho stormwatcr sewer on
Q street empties into the olght-foot sewer
of tho stockyards company and Is con
nected and used by rcsldonts of Q street
as a sanitary ' sower. Tho' flow from this
sewer Into the open waterway, leading
through the southern part of tho city and
Into Sarpy county unquestionably produces
odors objectionable to residents In that
part ot tho city. In no other way than this
Is tho city responsible for any nuisance.
in order to abate this your committee
recommends thnt the city engineer be di
rected to make an estlmato of the cost
of connecting the Q street sewer with
the sanitary sewer on Ilallroad avenue and
that tho committee on streets and alleys
bo dlrcctod to advertise for blda for the
construction of such a sewer."
At tho conclusion of his report Chair
man Johnston of the committee said: "Upon
the completion of this work a definite de
termination of the causes of this alleged
nuisance can bo arrived at."
On account of the complaints from the
Board of Education the council passed a
motion directing tho chief of pollco to
close any saloons found ruunlng without
a license.
Petitions for an electric street light at
Twenty-sixth nnd J streets and a flro hy
drant at Twenty-eighth and (5 streets wcro
read and referred to the usual committees.
Knough street repair work was ordered to
keep tho street commissioner and his forco
busy for the next three months. Three
special sidewalk ordinances wore intro
duced and sent to the Judiciary committee
and then there was an ordinance about tbs
railroads maintaining arc lights at cross
lncs. This went to the Judiciary com
mittee for consideration. After some minor
reports were approved the council adjourned
for ono week.
Illich School Cost Iteiliiceil,
Last night's meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation was an Interesting one In a niber
of ways. There was tho assignment of
teachers, the revision of tho High school
plans anil tho purchaso of a couplo of Iota
to be considered.
Architect Davis submitted plans v.blih
will reduce the cost of the proponed build
ing about $30,000 and bids for tho construc
tion under the naw specifications will noon
bo advertised for. As for the lots for a
schoolbouso nt Forty-second and J streota
It was found that a clear title could not be
given, at least it was to stated, and tho
board bought two IdtB Bt Forty-second and
U streets for $1,000. This Is the same prlco
agreed upon for the other Iota. The timo
for lecelvlng bids for this structure was
extended until next Monday night.

Upon his return from his western trip
City Attorney lambcrt found 'an amount
of work confronted him which rather
gave hlra the shocks. All together at the
present time the department Is called upon
to dofend, prepare answ.ers and make mo
tions In over seven cases now pending
against the city. With the limited amount
of help at the disposal of the city attorney
the briefs and other papers cannot be pre
pared In time for the September term of
court. Additional help will doubtless be
needed and may be asked for at any time.
The legal business of the city Is growing
so rapidly that It takes more than tho en
tiro attention of one man to handle It.
More than likely a recommendation will
be made that tho charter be compiled with
and thnt an assistant 'city attorney be ap
pointed. noliiK After tlnlilanii.
Today either Chief Mitchell or Detective
Elsf elder will leave for Kansas City to
bring back Wcs Itoblson, who Is held In

anil as a result Carlisle wore bis head In a
sling for a week or more. Itoblson was
Immediately removed from tho force by
Chief Mitchell and ho left for Kansas City,
where he was arrested upon a warrant Is
sued' from the court here. It Is under
stood that Itoblson will return without
requisition papers.

Monday, August 26, will be Nebraska day
at the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Uen.
This was determined by the committee of
the board of government having the matter
In charge this evening, On that occasion
excursions at reduced rates will be run
upon tho Elkhnrn line from Norfolk and
all stations east of that place, over the
Union Pacific from Columbus and all sta
tions between there and Omaha, on the
Missouri Pacific from the state line to
Omaha and over other roads If arrange
ments can be made In time,
It is expected, from reports received
from those towns, that at least 200 Ne
braskans will come to do homage at tho
throne of the Monarch of the West and the
event will be memorable In the history of
the order. The results of editors' night aro
seen In the publications which have arrived
since that time at the office of the secre
tary. From all sides come commendations of
the efforts of the carnival society and ex
pressions of pleasure on account of the en
tertainment received by the writers. It Is
believed that this will have much effect In
Increasing the attendance on Nebraska
night.
An ofllclal badge of the society has been
adopted for the coming year. It Is of gilt
and silk, the ribbons showing the green and
gold of the society. On the attached mo
dalllon appears the figure ot a mounted
knight, the star upon which It Is placed
being surrounded by a wreath of wheat and
oats. On the bar above the ribbon are the
words, "Omaha, 1901."
Last night at the meeting at the den
thn committee In charge ot tho parado be
gan the work of securing volunteers to take
positions In the parade and met with con
siderable success, although It will be two
weeks or more before the personnel of the

offering themselves for adv -icement in the
mysteries of tho order of knighthood of
King Ak-Sar-Bcn VII. In addition to this
thero was a larger attendance of members
and withal the night was the most aatla
factory to tho members or any yet held at

paths and beside the roaring torrents, ad
dresses wero made by Warren Switzler and
Hev. E. F. Trefz. Mr. Switzler dwelt upon
the advantago to be gained by the members
of tho order In the manifestation of the
spirit of goodfcllowshlp there exemplified
and on behalf of the novices of the evening
wished the managers and their fellow
knights godspeed.
In his remarks, which wcro brief and to
tho point, Mr. Trefz glorified Nebraska and
its largest city, saying thnt ho bsllcvcd
that destiny, attracted by tho enterprise of
the citizens, had marked Omaha as the
mighty metropolis of the TranBmlsslsslppI
country, but that while this was true des

Out of all tho speculation that bas
arisen from the Burlington's purchase of
tho Black Hills & Fort Plerro road comes
the authoritative statement that tho Klkborn
officials have been notified by tho new own
ers that fiom and after September 1 the
traffic arrangement heretofore existing be
tween tho Blnck Hills road and tho Klkhorn
will be terminated. For many years tho
roads have exchanged traffic at riedmont,
tho southern terminus of the narrow gauge
Black Hills road, from which point It runs
to Lead.
Tho Elkhorn has accordingly made ar
rangements to haul freight by wagon from
Deadwood to Lead until It can construct a
standard gauge line between the latter point
and OayviUc, near Deadwood. A laige
number of teamsters havo already been
secured, as well as a large freight storage
houso In Lead.

and construction work Is to commence scon
The officials expect to make good progress
as there aro no deep cuts to make or great
obstacles to overcome.
Burlington surveyors arc alf o busy with the
preliminary work of laying a third rail on
the Black Hills & Fort Pierre roadDcn, man
ing a standard gauge line from Lead to
Rnglcwood, the. Junction of the Burlington

"Thero are 84,000 head of Missouri cattlo
grazing on western Kansas prairies," said
E. It. Andrus, Union Pacific land agent at
Kansas City, while visiting headquarters
yesterday. "They are doing remarkably
well on buffalo grass and ns far n I
know uonc of them has died. Cattlemen
thero are doing something never done bo
fore. They are cutting tho pralrlo grass
for hay and tho results arc remarkable.
One man cut about 2,000 acres and secured
S00 tons ot hay tbat will make excellent
feed. This Is extraordinary when you con
sider that tho land has always been consid
ered worthless as hay land. Wo are sell
ing much of It as a direct result of tho
Missouri drouth. There the farmers are
cutting a half a ton of hay where they
used to get throo or four tons. Streams
are empty which were never known to bo
dry before, but It's different In westorn
Kansas."
From Nt. I'nnl lo lllnrk IIIIIm.
A St. Paul paper says that negotiations
are pending for the construction of a rail
road which will give St. Paul direct connec
tion with the Black Hills nnd Incidentally
divert a lot of trade which now goes to
Omaha Chicago, Sioux City nnd Denver.
Tho road Is to be built from Aberdeen,
S. I)., to Hapld City via Pierre, and thence
to the Black Hills, and bas been named the
Twin City. Plorro & Black Hills. Tho
promoters havo planned for a lino 20.r miles
long and expect to eventually build to Orrln
Junction, Wyo., to connect with tho Union
Pacific.
Tho new :oad looks so good on paper that
sufficient funds are said to be In sight to
build the portion between Abcrdeon and
Pierre beforo tho end of tbo year.
