WubingWi Birthday.
L031NGIE.R IS ELECTED PRESIDENT
Moves l from Senior Vice ta the
Mead nt the Nebraska Society
. and Tresldes at the
Meeting. -
George Washington and his gallant com
patriot were revived at the Commercial
club parlors last night by Rons of the
American Revolution. The anniversary of
the birth of Washington was made the oc
casion of the thirteenth annual meeting of
the Nebraska aoclety of thia organisation,
and wive and sister and women folk
generally, participated with the "ions" In
their commemorative celebration.
An even hundred measures the member
ship of tha Nebraska society now, and a
good proportion of these was present laat
night. At a business meeting preceding
the program the following officers were
named for the ensuing year: President,
Charles 8. boblngier, .Omaha; senior vice
president, Richard M. Allen. Ames; Junior
vice president. John W. Battln. Omaha
sfretary, R. Frank Alexander, Oraaha, re
elected; treasurer, Taul W. Kuhns, Omaha,
re-elected; registrar. Thomas O. Doyle,
Omaha, re-elected; historian. Carroll O.
Peare, Omaha, re-elected. The board of
manager choaen was: Roacoe Pound, LJn
coin, re-elected: B. T. Farnrworth. Omaha:
P7 B. Taylor. Lyons; C. S. Huntington,
Omaha; Rollin 8. Rising, Alnsworth, re
elected; Amos Field, Omaha, re-elected.
What fleelety Haa Accomplished.
President U P. Funkhouser of Lincoln
was unable to attend, so Senior Vice Pres
ident Charles S. Loblngler officiated In his
place, and assumed hi portion of the pro
gram, the address of the retiring presi
dent, comprising a "Review of the Year's
Work." Mr. Loblngler rehearsed briefly
what the Nebraska society had accom
plished during the year at Its sessions acl
In Its courses of study, and complimented
the organization on Its Increase of member
ship ad substernal condition. There fol
lowed the inauguration of the president
elect, which vi in the nature of a little
ovation to Mr. Loblngler, and which re
sulted In more felicitations on his part.
The historian's address was on the topic
"Results of the .War In the West." Mr.
Pearse was out of the eity, so hi paper
was read by Mr. Pearse.. She called at
tention to the fact that while the colonies
on the coast were engaged In their war
with Great Britain, fighting . was in pro
gress In the far west in the same cause.
Captain George Roger Clarke of Virginia
supplied with Virginlr money and with
a small force of Virginia man, traversed
the wilds of the Ohio river and by re
markable generalship captured the British
strategic, outposts in that territory. This
was most Important in that the extent of
the colonies threatened seriously to be
bounded by the Alleghenles and the Ohio
river, while Captain Clarke's victories ex
tended the scope to the Mississippi river.
That fact alone made possible the later
acquisition of that great empire known
as Louisiana, and still later the additions
of the Texas, the California and the Pacific
northwest district. ' All followed from
Captain Clark' work, f
Beajamln Frmaklla.
Dr. W. H. Hanchett gave an address on
"Benjamin Franklin tha Man." He aald
in part: "Washington, Franklin and Adams
were the .three great moving gplrits in
the war for Independence. None "of these
was more essential to the success of that
movement than Franklin. Washington had
great need for the brains and diplomacy
of Franklin. He could not alone have car
rled to a successful execution the pro
jects Involved in that struggle. Franklin
gave the colonies prestige abroad, and se
cured loan which made possible the con
duct of a campaign of martial atrife. HI
extensive education and experience better
fitted him than the others to plan the rev
olutlon. Washington may be the first man
of the revolution, but Franklin I high in
second place."
After Joining in the hymn "America,"
the gathering waa assembled at long table
in th club dining room, where a repast
was served. Those present were:
P. E. Taylor, Lyons, Neb.; Rev. W.
Vaughan, Fremont, Neb., and the following
Omahans: Mr. and Mr. V. D. Reynolds,
Thome O. Doyle, E. T. Farnsworth, Edna

taaraat or tale.
A physician put the query: Have you
never noticed in any large reataurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous, old men at' the tablee,
men whoae agea run trom 60 to 80 yeara,
many of them bald and all perhapa gray,
but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhape the spectacl I ao common a
to hav escaped your observation or com
ment, but nevertheless it is an object les
son which means something.
If you will notice what thoae hearty old
fellow are eating you will obeerve that
they, are not munching bran crackers nor
gingerly plrklDg their way through a menu
card of new tangled health foods; on tha
contrary, they seem to prefer a Juicy roast
of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lobster Is not
kltogether Ignored.
The point of ail this I that a vigorous
old age depend upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food, aod not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran
crackera.
There I a certain class of food crank
who seem to believe that meat, coffee and
many other good things are rank poisons,
but these cadaverous, sickly looking Indi
vidual are a walking condemnation of
their own theortee.
The matter In a nutshell I that it th
stomach secretes th natural digestive
Juices in sufficient quantity, any wholesome
food will be properly digested; if the stom
ach doea not do ao, and certain foods cause
distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal will remote all
difficulty, because they supply Just whit
very weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro
chloric acid, diastase and nux.
Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablet do not act
upon th bowel and In fact are not atrictly
a medicine, aa they act almost entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting it thoroughly
and thua gtvea a much needed reet, and
giving an appetite tor the next meal.
Of people who travel nine out pt tea use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to uae at any time, and
also having found out by experience that
they are a safeguard agalnat indigestion
In aay form, and eating as they have to.
at all houra and all kinds of food, th
traveling public ha for year pinned their
faith to Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SO rente for
full siaed packages, and any druggist from
Maine to California, If hie opinion were
asked,' will aay that Stuart'a Dyspepsia
Tablets 1 th most popular and successful
remedy for any stomach trouble.

Mr. John E. Dodds, a lumberman with
an office In the Brown block, is sponsor for
the newest Independent telephone company
to Invade Omaha. Mr. Podds say:
"The Northwestern Telephone company of
Toledo, O., has determined to construct an
independent system of telephone In Omaha.
All the company wants to know Is that tha
people of Omaha desire a second company.
To ascertain the t'.ate of public sentiment
canvassers are going to be sent through the
city at once, beginning Monday morning, to
solicit contracts for telephone service, with
the new company. It these solicitors meet
with success and a list of subscribers shall
be obtained large enough to warrant the
company in building the system will be
constructed.
The name of the company is the Omaha
Home Telephone company. As soon a the
preliminary work of obtaining a list of
contracts Is completed and the right to en
ter the city has been determined, the com
pany desires to Interest local capital. It I
expected that a large percentage of the
stock will be owned here.
'The price of telephones provided for in
the contracts is $3.33 per month for busi
ness telephones and S3 per month for resi
dence telephones.
"The original Northwestern company is
capitalized at (500,000. The Home company
of Toledo, which Is really a part of the
Northwestern company, has 8,000 telephone
in operation and Is capitalized at $1,000,000.
The same company is putting In the new
system at Kansas City ander the name of
the Kansas City Home Telephone company.
The company deposited with the city offi
cials of Kansas City $20,000 in cash as a
guaranty of it good faith, and is willing to
furnish any reasonable bond to the people
of Omaha for the completion of the work
when it ahall once be undertaken."

NELSON DEFENDS HIS BILL
Donrlaa County RpmnUtlv Itandi Up
for fiia Charter Amendments.
SAYS SALARY CHANGES ARE ALL RIGHT
Holds Oat So Hop for Relief from
Railroad Domination lo the Mat
ter of Aaaeaslag Trooerty
for Taxation.
Representative W. T. Nelapn, who intro
duced the bill containing proposed amend
ments to the Omaha charter in the legisla
ture last week, said last night: "I am aware
that the bill haa met with criticism In
Omaha, but I believe It Is the best measure
that can be framed. I devoted three weeks
to studying the subject, which I found a
difficult one to handle. The salary changes
I believe to be fair, and the fund expan
sions ar ample to cover the needs of the
department which they supply.
"Some erroneou report have been cast
about concerning the position the house
committee on cities and towns has taken
en th inaertion of the clause Into the new
South Omaha charter which makes it obllg
atory on th tag commissioner to accept
th return of the State Board of Equali
sation en railway. This Is th Identical
clause that th eitisens of Omaha are now
trying to have stricken out of their charter.
It wa Introduced by a member from Dodge
county, and produoed a surprise. The ma
jority of the committee, however, favored
It. There will be a minority report, never
theless, signed by Representative Gilbert,
one other member and myself, refusing to
pass favorably upon the amendment to sec
tion 1, which 1 th on in point.
So Hope for Relief.
'There Is no use disguising the fact that
affairs in v the legislature are being run
pretty much by the railroads to suit them
selves. The fate of H. R. 171 1 sealed
and I think it's substitute, "H. R. 330, will
meet the same fate. With so many country
members against us it is useless for the
Douglas county delegation to fight against
the odds. The Introduction of H. R. 171
waa a - big mistake, because it made the
country members think that Omaha waa
trying to obtain exclusive privilege, and
they regard H. R. 130 mearly a sort of a
sop.
"A bill that look to me Important and
which I have not seen spoken of in the
newspapers, 1 one Introduced by Repre
sentative Ellers, which gives the right to
any person or corporation In business to
transmit electric current, the right to build
poles and wires along any publlo highway,
damages to be paid for' the same as rail
roads do when putting through a new line.
What It mean and who la behind th mea
sure I have not been able to learn."

ful attempt to commit aulcide yesteroay
