Board Being; Censored. At the last meeting of the Board of Edu cation an order was Issued directing the carpenters Wployed hr the district to pro ceed at once and lay two-plank sidewalk around the proposed High school grounds at Twenty-third and K atreets. This ac tion has caused more comment than the painting bills or the allowing of coal bills Property owners residing In the eastern portion of the city are Indignant and a pe tition is now being circulated asking the board to reconsider Its motion and direct that a permanent walk be laid. The proposed high school grounds occupy half a block, extending from J to K streets with frontage on Twenty-third street. As the sidewalk on the J and K street ends of the block has been In bad shape' for some time Laverty, Bock and Lott proposed that two-plank walk be laid. "XI a walk or this kind Is laid," said a taxpayer residing in the vicinity, "it will be torn up by Indignant cltliens. More than this, If the petition for a permanent walk Is not considered by the board at Us next meeting the city council will be re quested to pass an ordinance directing that permanent walks be laid on J street from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street, on K street from Thirty-second to Twenty fourth street, and on Twenty-third street from J to K atreets. Should the Board of Education ignore this ordinance the city will lay the walks and deduct the cost from the revenue of the board which Is derived from liquor lincenses." President Miller of the Board of Educa tion said last night that he had heard complaints and protest against the Lav erty walk and had requested the carpenters to hold off until the next board meeting. Mayor Signs Ordinances. Testerday afternoon Mayor Koutsky s'gned the grading ordinances passed st PtrJJPLES And other eruptions which mar the skin are more than a disfigurement and an noyance; they are a positive detriment to the business interests and social suc cesses of the man they mark. Oth er things being equal, the man with a smooth skin and clear complexion will find it easier to get a good posi tion or a good wire than the man whose face shows the impu rity of his blood. That's the real point. The blood Js bad. And for ithat very reason any treatment l which is desien- ed to cleanee the skin must cleanse the blood. Ilr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cleanses the blood from the clogging impurities which breed snd feed disease, and so cures pimples, boils, eczema, and other diseases which have their cause in impure blood. The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to maks the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines, lie gains. You lose. There fore, accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery. I have used your "GoHea Medical Discover' lA a case of scrofula, snd cured il." writes Mr. It. 6hmbha.of Kemv. Cherokee Nation.

Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the bowcU a&d stimulate lbs sluggish liver. ' ' I V5a s fcrr ' the council meeting Monday night. As sooa as theso ordinances have been published the grading will be commenced. As for the stock Inspection ordinance, the mayor put It In his pocket and told the city clork that he would read it over st hli leisure. Last evening the msyor said that more than likely ho would sign the ordinance, providing that It did not Jeopardize the city's interests in any way. This stock inspection ordinance has been a bone of contention between the mayor and council for some months. The mayor saw fit to remove Clark Howard from the position of stock examiner and the coun cil then took up the fight and refused to have anything to do with the man n&med by the msyor to succeed Howard. Tu re sult was that no lnpec:tr was appointed. Should the mayor sign the ordinance he will still have the naming of an inspector, but subject to confirmation by the council. Special Monday Services. Secretary Charles Marsh of the local Young Men's Christian association stated last evening that Frederick A. Hatch of Omaha would speak to members and friends of the association at Masonic hall on Sun day afternoon. Arrangements are being made for special music on this occasion. These afternoon meetings are attracting considerable attention and as the attend ance has grown so rapidly it aa deemed necessary to secure a larger hall. Hereto fore the meetings on Sunday afternoon have been held In the association parlors. Magic city Gossip. Mrs. J. B. Bmiley has gone to Cheyenne to visit her mother.

Merrill, who Is low at the Presbyterian hospital In Omaha, was reported some better last night. On Tuesday Mr. Merrill underwent sn opera tion, which at the time was thought might possibly prove fatal. A Preventive of Pneumonia. Owing to the prevalence of colds and grip there have been many cases of pneumonia during the part winter. It baa been ob served, however, that the colds snd grip never result la pneumonia when Chamber rain's Cough Remedy Is used. Among the tens of thousands who used that remedy during the prealence of grip lo the past ten years not one case has been reported that resulted In pneumonia or that did not recover, which shows that remedy to be a certain preventive of pneumonia and un equalled as a sure cure for colds and grip. GETS A SLASH WItTTa KNIFE C. If. Wetherford Alleged to Have Started a Roaarh House and Got the Worst of It. C. H.

Omaha 31 At the meeting of the Southwest Improve ment club st Twenty-fourth and Leaven worth streets Wedneslay evening City En gineer Roeeviatcr and Councilman Hasrall dlucussed the Roscwater franchise ordi nance wtt"j a gieat deal of fervo-. Mr. Roscwater spoke first, thanking the club for its unsolicited approval of the or dinance and its actiun recommending thst the ordinance be put before the people to vote upon. He then launched upon the terms of the ordinance and showed wherein the granting of the ordinance would be a material benefit to Omaha as a city and to the manufacturers and electric current users. He explained In detail the character of the ordinance, the decreased cost of elec trical power from 50 to "3 per cent lees than that obtaining now, the royalty of 1 per cent to be raid the city for the first five years, 2 per cent the following five years, and 3 per cent for the year fol lowing; the bid for the city lighting of more than SO per cent less than the pres ent cost, the accepting of which Is op tlonal with the city, and also the fact that not one cent was required of the city In the granting of this franchise. He then told how he had treated with the Thomson-Houston people for the handling of the project before he bad n troduced the ordinance and declared that they had used his plans and Ideas for their own advancement and, having learned his plans, turned to defeat them fVhnt Blocks the Way. The entire flfiht against him, he declared, wae directed by this same corporation and that It had not spared the use of money In any .ay to rtofent him before the city council. It had deliberately bought control of the council, he declared, and Is blocking his moves by every kind of trickery and deception possible. Councilman White horn for more than six months has been In tho employ of the electric company and has declared himself that he has been forced to act exceedingly carefully In this matter owing to tho fact that bis bread snd but ter depended upon his manner of votng, according to Mr. Rosewater. As for Coun cilman Mount, he said, that two years, ago he made specific charges against him and mado them under oath, offering, at the time, to meet with a committee from the council to glvo proof of his charges. A commltteo was appointed to Investigate the charges, but he was never called upon to appear before the committee as It did not dare to investigate thom. Mr. Mount has been treated with by the Thomson- Houston company during the six months this ordinance has been under discussion by the count. 1. Mr. Rosewater said he would say nothing about Councilman Hove, as he was not present to speak for himself, but that Mr. Hoye had declared after the meeting of the council, which was attended by representative taxpayers of Omaha, that he waa not with Hascall any n-., tut had again veered about. Basin of a Petition. How the Thomson - Houston people, through a bit of juggling, had managed to obtain nominal support from the Real Estate exchange, the Commcrcial.cluh and the Central Labor union without the con sent of a majority of their members, was explained by Mr. Rosewater. Through tho employment of some twenty men, hired for the purpose, they had even presented a petition to the council asking that the open door amendment be put to a vote of the people. This amendment contained fifty names more than that Mr. Rosewater htd presented to that body, but few cf the names were those of taxpayers or of people of prominence and known business stand ing. Mr. Rosewater declared (hat what he desired was that the original ordinance be placed before the people and that they be allowed to decldo for themselves whether they desired this or not. The council, he declared, has no right to aay to the people that this was not good for them without listening to their desires. It was the right of the Omaha laborer and taxpayer to say whether they desired to give other electric power companies the right to operate in Omaha or not. They had asked that It be put to their vote and It should be. No other company was hindered from coming into Omsha later by this ordinance and be wanted the peopt9 ;o say whether hia pro ject should be given an opportunity or not. llaaeall In the Defense. Councilman Hascall denied the state ments made against the integ-lty of the council in general, although he declined to take any stand in the charges that were made against Mr. Mount and absolutely Ignored what had been said about Mr. Whltchorn's connection with the Thomson Houn'nn company. The open door ordi nance, he aald, was that which he favored, as it gave no one any privileges over any other party and all were free to come Into the city under the same terms. Mr. Rosewater at this point rose to deny that his ordinance as drawn up would deter others from bringing power in'o the city under like conditions as would be granted to him. Councilman Hascall then continued In a general way and In the course of his re marks touched upon the "old, false theory that the sun Is a ball of fire." "It Is more than probable," be said, "that people live there and what some people tske for fire Is merely the succession of electrical sparks flashing over the sun." He neglected to state whether these were the products of the Thomson-Houston company or of a power canal. "No heat comes from the sun," he de clared. "The electrical flashes cause light, which comes to us, and as the rays of light pass through the air there Is friction, and that causes the heat which we have heard comes from the sun. On damp days the friction Is greater, and, therefore, the day la hotter." Some Club Matters. The committees appointed by the club reported that some new crosswalks were being placed on Mason street and that It was reported at the city engineer's office that work ou sidewalks and crossings Is being pushed forwsrd ss rapidly ss possible.
