stated that he withdrew sit objection and
consented to the Issuance of the licenses.
Thereupon the board approved the bonds
and granted the fifteen licenses which had
been held up by the Walker protests. This
dUpcred of all of the pending remonstrances
and 1-avcs but four applications still to be
acted upon, the flelay In these eases being
due to the fact that the publication of the
required legal notices has not been com
pleted. The applications are those of
George W. Tlerney, 1101 South Ninth street;
I J. Kramer, 1419 Jackson street; Charles
Mets. 105 South Twelfth street, and Henry
Rolff, 1.107. Capitol avenue. When these

The application of V. B. Walker to con
duct a aaloon at 1314-1316 Dodge street was
denied for the reason that the petition bd

Baxter of the district court the board
directed that a transcript be made of the
testimony In the protest of Beard Bros, and
oth-ra agalnat the granting of a licence to

at the Board of Trade building some eight
months ago. Brown, stating that he would
atill be unable to walk a beat for thirty or
sixty days to come, had applied to the
board for some employment that would not
require him to be upon his feet so much,
but would pay him some salary. He was
assigned to duty In the Health department,

partment that the Plngree garden system
so successfully managed under the auspices
of the club last summer be undertaken
again next summer. There was some dis
cussion of the proposed Juvenile court bill,
the draft of which has not yet been com
pleted, but petitions are being sent by the
ma.'orlty of the clubs of the state federa
tion, for the passage of such a bill.
Dr. Abby Virginia Holmes, nnder thn

the Monday club of Webster Grove, one of
the suburbs, will have three.
Aa a prominent and popular member of
the Wednesday club, and recognized as one
of the most able women of the Missouri
Federation, Mrs. Phillip N. Moore, Is
looked to as the probable president of the
biennial board, and there seems little doubt
that she will be elected to that office at
Saturday' meeting. Since The preliminary
details of the preparation for the biennial
have become known, favorable mention has
come from a half dozen different sections
of the country of Mrs. Moore's name for
the presidency of the General Federation
not necessarily for the next term, a pre
cedent will be favorable to the re-election
or Mrs. Dennlson. but this fact will be
all the more In Mra. Moore's favor, for
with a successful biennial to her credit.
and everybody I Confldent that the 8t.
Louis meeting will be success, and that
biennial two years back, with her other
prominent connection with the General
Federation, she will be strong candidate,

pose of forming a branch of the American
Park association.
It is said that London has never ex
perienced anything like the present crate
among women of the better and wealthier
claaaea for organising clubs. Societies of
all kinds and of all sixes have been and
are being organised and apartments for
meeting purposes have been fitted up that
have already amounted to a fortune to the
furniture dealera and Otter who have been
fortunate enough to get contract tor fur
nishing them.
The discussion of a bill granting suffrage

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Coal Situation Eai Became
Feature of Life.
a Be r ions
PACKING HOUSES RUN ON SHORT SUPPLY
Annul on Hand Hardly More This
Kaoaah for Slagle Day'
t'onaamatton aad Utile
la Sight.
The coal aituation In South Omaha 1
really precarious. The packers are begin
ning to wonder where they will get enough
to keep the boilers going. At the Cudahy
plant there la very little steam coal on
hand, at Swift the situation is a little
better, but at Armour's and the Omaha
there is only a day's supply on band. In
quiry In the yards last night showed that
there waa only two days' supply of coal
on hand. Instead ot the usual receipt of
sixty cars last night, only forty cara came
in and these will be used up before another
twenty-four hours rolls around.
The rule of the packers now is to buy all
coal In eight and pay what la asked for It.
One of the packing house managers aald
that he did not lay the blame so much on
the railroads as he did on the miners.
But It Is a fact that packers have bought
coal and bad representatives see the same
loaded and those cars would be diverted or
confiscated en route. For nearly two weeks
now little If any bituminous coal has been
unloaded here, although all ot the local
dealers have order In from a dosen dif
ferent mine.
Anthracite coil I being quoted here at
$16 per ton, with none to sell, while Illi
nois coal, usually sold below $", Is now
being sent out at $6.76 a ton and there I
little of that to be had.
Poor people are suffering to some extent
und it has devolved upon the charity com
mittee of the council to provide means to
supply coal for Indigent persons. Effort
re being made by many to secure wood,
but this is scarce and It begins to look as
If there will soon be a sure-enough coal
famine unless the railroads bring in sup
plies. Bine Prints Famished.
Late yesterday afaernoon members of the
street and alley committee were presented
with blue prints, showing the changea de
sired made In the lands In the western
part of the city. A request Is made that
Thirty-sixth street from I street south to
L street be vacated. For this property
the South Omaha Land company agrees to
dedicate to the city thirty feet on the west
side ot Boyd street between the north and
south street mentioned. In coming in
from th north Thirty-sixth street make
a Jog at I street, while Boyd street con
tinues on south. This jog Is worthless to th
city at the present time. The ground th
land company proposes deeding to the city
for this hollow Is Ailed ground and can
be utilized, so It is stated, for buildings
or trackage as desired. The amount of
ground to be acquired by the ra'lroads and
the land company In (xcesa of that to be
dedicated for the widening of Boyd street
will amount to less than one acre.
While the street and alley committee has
not looked into the matter yet, It Is in
ferred that a favorable report will be ren
dered on the proposition.
No Coancll Meeting;.
There was no quorum of th council last
night and the mayor did nrt even order
the roll called, consequently the next meet
ing of the city fathers will be held one
week from last night. It-was stated that
the reason for no quorum ws-the' lack ot
business. The . finance committee looked
over the report and decided that there was
nothing to do and, as the chairmen of other
committees bad nothing to report, it was
decided that there was no necessity for a
meeting. Of this decision, however. Mayor
Koutsky waa kept in the dark. He fully
expected a meeting and a report on some
communications now in the hands ot com
mittees. City Attorney Murdock was also
present snd was ready to present to the
council an ordinance providing for a meat
Inspector for the city of South Omaha.
Thla ordinance will now have to go over
for one week unless -a special meeting la
called, and this the msyor will hardly
sanction, as be was present at the time of
roll call last night, when all ot the mem
bers of the council were absent.
Captain Austin Surprised.
Captain James Austin, one of the well
known government inspectois at the Union
stock yards, was surprised last night when
he reached home to find that the house waa
full of frienda who had gathered to con
gratulate him on the twentieth anniversary
of hi marriage. About fifty friend from
Omaha and South Omaha were present and
an agreeable evening was spent after Cap
tain Austin and his wife recovered from
their surprise at the arrival of ao many
guests. A handsome combination book case
and writing desk waa presented to Captain
Austin, while his wife was presented with
an elegant set ot Havlland china.

Catarrh of th Stomach caused Indigestion

opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion Inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin Instesd of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

membranes lining th stomach, protects th
