past president of Julius Houseman lodge
No. 238, Grand Rapids, Mich. He will pre,
side at the opening session at Continental
hallthls morning, which opens at 10 o'clock.
He said last evening at the Her Grand:
"The purposes and objects of the B'Nal
B'Rlth order, which translated means 'Sons
of the Covenant,' Is to make better citizens
of all who become members; to teach them
to obey and respect the laws of the land,
honor and glory its flag; to care for Its
aged and Indigent members, care for their
wldowa and orphans, and to Instil Into all
Its members the highest attributes of citi
zenship. We have already established
homes for the aged of our order, as well
as Orphanages for the children of our de
ceased members. The order Is not In any
sense orthodox. We will meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning for the purpose of or
ganization and to listen to the reports of
the various officers and committees of the
grand lodge. The grand lodge consists of
tha Incumbent and past presidents of the
various local lodges of the district.' and
several new members will be initiated at
thla meeting. It is also possible that we
may nominate and elect officers tomorrow.
We have much to do, and as the members
of the grand lodge are all business men it
Is our desire to get through the work as
soon as possible that we may return to oOr
homes. We are delighted with our recep
tion in Omaha, and anticipate a very pleas
ant and profitable meeting."

OalE
does not take into consideration the one
essential to woman's happiness wom
anly health. There is many a woman
whose future seems absolutely unclouded
who is marked by her own condition for

For without health

CIRCUS GOOD AS PROMISE
Forepana;h-clls Combination Gives
Two Satisfactory Performances
to Good Rnslnesa.
Dlavolo! May he live longer than seems
at all probable. At yesterday afternoon's
performance of Adam Forepaugh St Sells
Bros.' consolidated circuses he looped the
loop while 6,000 people held their breaths. At
the night performance he looped It again
before a crowd almost equally as large. He
did It euslly and gracefully despite his
broken ankle and his two rractured verte
brae of the neck, but there was no man In
the audiences who envied him hla position.
Working Just forty-seven seconds per day
for six days a week he draws a salary of
$1,000 per week, or 12,000 per year more than
does the president of the United States,
working practically 3fiS days of the year.
He Is a mutilated, desecrated, decimated
and Ill-fated specimen of humanity, but he.
makes good the promises of the billboard
and that Is saying a great deal.
However, he Is not all the show. There
are others. And all these others are sensa
tional performers. barring perhaps the
lemonade sellers, the ticket takers and "the
gentlemanly and courteous ushers who will
now pass among you with the concert
tickets." They remain the same forever
and the week thereafter.
Miss Julia Lowande, Miss Nellie Ryland
and Miss Emma Stickney contribute a few
brief spells of bareback riding that are
great. Then William Gorman, Miss Kllno.
Miss Sebastian and William De Van add to
the equestrian performance a stunt by
their marvelously well trained and very
pretty performing equlnes, adepts at cake
walking. At one period of the performance
there are fourteen aerial acts In progress at
the same time, and all good. The wonder
ful Aurora Zouaves come In with a drill
that Is a novelty and a delight because of
the perfect precision and unison of the
evolutions. On the slack wire the three La
Carmens give a performance, far up toward
the tent top, that never hag been rivalled.
Oscar Lowande finishes his and his two
brothers'lnteresting act by turning a somer
sault from one horse to another while run
ning them tandem. "Minting the Marvel"
ascends and descends a huge spiral on a
unicycle, and is followed by the Gaynell
sextette In Its marvelous maneuvers on the
Incline plane. The old style tumbling is
revived and the whole show made a very
acceptable exposition of acrobatic possibilities.
All In all. It is an extraordinarily good
circus and a sensational one that quite
meets expectations. Apparently Its pro
prietors have been unstinting in their re
ward of really sensational' acts and have
secured In Dlavolo a marvelous climax.
Novelty In circus entertainment obviously
Is difficult to secure, but In this looping the
loon there is found an act that never has
been counterfeited. The Incline Is long and
appallingly steep. - An understudy who at
tempted to ride It the other day In St. Louis
Is now In the hospital with a fractured
skull. If ever he is able to think again the
chances a:-e ten to one that he will think
differently about the whole trick and say
goodbye to the circus management. If he
doesn't his folks ought to Insist on his
carrying a larger Insurance.
WOMAN TAKES CARBOLIC ACID
Finally (npceeds, After Numerous
Efforts, la Committing;
Suicide.
Mrs. Nellie Parsons committed suicide at
1807 Lake street, about 4:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon, by drinking an ounce bpttle
of carbolic acid. Police Surgeon Trostler
was called from the police station and also
Dr. Hobbs. but tha woman was beyond the
hope of life when they arrived and died
at 5:15 o'clock. Coroner Bralley took charge
of the remains and will probably hold an
Inquest today.
Deceased lived with her mother, Mrs.
Merritt, and had for years been subject to
epileptic fits and temporary aberration of
mind She has several times previously
tried to kill herself with poison and knife
and orce tried to murder her mother with
a hatchet. The people living in the house
with her have been very careful to leave
no drugs about. The acid had been gotten
the day before to disinfect some clothes.
Mrs. Merritt running a hand laundry. Yes
terday afternoon she got hold of the bot
tle, drinking it where her mother could see
her. She then tried to cut her throat with
a case knife and throwing the half empty
omum xi ner mother, ran to a closet and
locked herself In. She waa . hi,, j
woman, 28 years old and leaves a 12-year-old
son.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Major Koutsky Will Issue Proclamation for
Holding 8pecial Election.
HIS HONOR SELECTS DATE OF JUNE 23
Electors Will ' Vote oa Propositions
to Isane Bonds for Overlap
and Pnbllc Improvements-
Magic City tioaslp.
Mayor Koutsky announced yesterday
afternoon that on Monday he would sign
a proclamation for the special election to
be held In South Omaha on June 23. This
proclamation will designate the voting
places and will define the object and the
amount of the bonds. City Attorney Mur
dock is now drawing up the proclamation,
which will be given to the public on Mon
day. The proclamation will call for the
people to vote on an Issue of $.0,000 to take
up the present overlap. Then there will
be a request for bonds in the sum of Sli.OOJ
for an extension of the fewer system In
the eastern portion of the city. City hall
bonds to the amount of tSJ.OOO are to be
voted on alo.
In a separate proclamation will come a
call upon the voters to express an opinion
as to the construction of a high school
building to cost $103,000. The total Issue
amounts to $255,000. Bonds to be Issued by
the city will draw not more than 6 per
cent interest and the same can be said of
the school bonds. It la thought that the
school district bonds will sell for about 4
per cent and the city bonds for about 4H
per cent. Bids will be received for both
Issues providing the propositions carry.
The Interest on both Issues will amount to
about $11,000 a year.
If the bonds do not carry the obligations
of the city will have to be paid anyway.
It will be necessary to make a special le.y
and pay the threatened judgments. Should
judgments be secured for outstanding
claims an Increase In taxation would have
to be made, which would make It hard on
many small property owners, as the debt
would have to be paid In one year. With
a bond issue the property owners would
have twenty years In which to complete
the payment.
Already some opposition to the proposed
bond Issue has developed. A certain clique
Is working to defeat the proposition. The
city officials say that they have no Interest
In the matter. "If the people of the city
want public improvements and want to
avoid a high rate of interest on the over
lap," said a city official last night, "let
them vote bonds. If they do not want the
Improvements suggested, let them go ahead
and continue paying interest on the over
lap." Feeling seems to bo divided In relation
to the bond issue and little, If any, opinion
can be formed at the present time as to
the result of the coming election.
President Donnelly Departs.
M. Donnelly, president of the Interna
tional organization of the packing house
employes, left for Kansas City yesterday
and will depart from the latter place to
night for Chicago, where he will meet with
representatives of the Chicago and South
Omaha packers at the office of Nelson
Morris at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
conference to be held in Chicago will be
Informal, but then and there arrangements
will be made for a formal meeting, at
which the scale of the packing house work
ers will be acted upon. President Donnelly
does not look for any trouble between the
employes and the packers.
Temporary Auditorium.
In view of the fact that the state con
vention of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen will be held here In 1905 a move
ment Is already on foot to secure funds for
the construction of a temporary auditor
ium.' It is stated that ground can readily
be secured and that a oullding capable of
seating 1,600 people can be erected for from
$6,000 to $$.000.
"Such a building," said one of the inter
ested parties, "will last a number of years
and the rental from It will go a long ways
towards paying for the original cost of
construction and the ground lease."
It Is thought that there will be a meet
ing of business men called before long to
talk over the proposition and to determine
what Is best to be done. C. W. Miller and
other prominent Workmen assert that there
will be not less than 800 delegates at the
next convention and possibly as many vis
itors. There Is also some talk of making
arrangements for additional hotel accom
modations. Miller Snes City.
August Miller has brought suit arafnat
the city to recover $116, which he alleges is
H 1 1 him t nv ajipvli.M whn . h. I. . j a

the street department. The city council
paid Miller on the baais of a street fore
man, according to the statement of the
mayor that Miller had been appointed fore
man of the street gang. Miller, however,
Insisted that he was street commissioner
and entitled to $85 a month. As foreman he
waa paid $60 a month. The case Is now
pending in Justice Levy's court.
Hoapltal Wanta Help. '
The South Omaha hospital Is in need of
assistance. Those who have money 'to
epare are asked to send cash. There is
constant demand for delicacies, old linen,
table and bed linen, as well as towels, etc.
Those who are In charge of the hospital
ask friends of the Institution to donate sup

HOW TO DO THE RIGHT THING
Eastern Woman Comes to Tench
Omaha People the Prop,
per Thine.
There Is a woman in Omaha who, it Is
whispered, finds a very remunerative occu
pation in coaching some of the fashionables
on the "correct thing." Of course, every
place has one of these social boons and all
In all, while it may tend to the super
ficial. It is a good scheme, for it takes
a lot of time to read all the 'new books
or even the book reviews not to apeak
of keeping track of all the popular music
and paintings and like things that the up-to-date
society man or woman is supposed
to know about. There is a marked tend
ency to brevity brevity in accomplishment
nowadays, anyway, and while it is rather
strenuous mastering French in five weeks
snd accomplishing like feats, anybody
knows that a brief season of work is In
finitely preferable to years of tedious ap
plicationespecially when ono can acquire
as much as the majority have thereby, and
have the company of that majority during
the process.
But to go back to the woman. She comes
west once or twice a year and was origi
nally Introduced by a very exclusive
matron, whose guest she Is while in town.
She has a studio downtown where she has
classes In "literature." And there are
"assemblies" that meet about at the homes
of the various members, where things gen
erally, current topics and the like, are
talked over. And then there are a whole
lot of private pupils and it Is here that
versatility is acquired at so much per verse.
It Is said that this clever woman, and
she certainly la clever, has a unique little
system whereby a variety of phases and
opinions are wrought out on various sub
jects and these are dealt out to her patrons
according to their capuclty very much ns
a trickster would distribute a deck of
cards a very good plan, as it Insures va
riety and even some show of Individuality
and averts monotony when the game comes
Off.
Her classes are not confined to the women
alone either and It Is said that one of her
pupils, a bachelor who ha3 done escort duty
to half the society girls who have grown
up In town, has quite lost his heart and
is endeavoring to persuade her to make
Omaha her home. ,

VENNER HELD FOR CONTEMPT
I'nlted States Judge Beads the Pro
- moter to Jail for Six
Months.
Clarence H.. Venner, who is well known
In Omaha In connection with the American
Water Works company litigation, has been
arrested in Illinois for contempt of court.
The story is told In the following dispatch
from Springfield, 111., to the St. Ixmls
Globe-Democrat, tinder date of May. 15:
Clarence H. Venner, banker, of Boston,
formerly of the banking firm of Venner tt
Co., president of the New England Water
Works company, the Boston Water and
Light company and the Alton Water Works
company, waa fined $1,000 and sentenced to
be confined in the Sangamon county Jail
for six months for contempt today in the
United States circuit court lor the southern
district of Illinois by Judge Humphrey.
Mr. Venner Is known ill ver the country
as a "raider." H tried to prevent the
combination of the Rock Island and the
'Frisco roads and his case Is still pending
in Chicago. He fought the amalgamation
of copper companies, and has figured In big
suits In New York, New Jersey, Massachu
setts, Missouri and Illinois. It Is claimed
that he makes a practice of purchasing
small quantities of stock in various com
panies which he believes muy soon combine
and then rights the effort to effect the
combination.
Mr. Venner came all the way here rrom
his home in Boston to give testimony in
the Alton water works llt!,aion. In which
evidence is now being taken by Master In
Chancery Allen, and on his appearance
was attached for contempt of court. The
act of contempt was committed In Boston,
when the defendant refused to produce cer
tain books, papers and documents rieiore
the master in chancery, who was then tak
ing evidence at that place on April 13, 14
and 16. The proceeding ran against the
companies of which Mr. Venner is presi
dent, but the matter of the punishment of
tne companies was reaervea oy juuio
Humphrey.
Mr. Venner appeared in court with his
attorney, Levi Davie of Alton. His legal
advisers are trying to tlx up some way of
getting him out of hla predicament. Habeas
corpus proceedings are being talked of.
The Alton water works litigation has been
In the courts for years. It has many and
complicated ramifications, which, to the
ordinary mind, are Inexplicable. The eon-
tempt proceedings in wnicn Mr, venner is
tha nrlnclnal tieure are a side Issue In the
case. Judge Humphrey severely scored the
defendant when he was orougnc oeiore me
bench. Venner is now in Jail and ball is
refused.

NEW YORK. May 18.-E. H. Harriman
arrived here at 10:40 o'clock. He walked
from the train to his automobile and In an
interview given from his vehicle said he
had suffered from a slight attack of ap
pendicitis, but had received the best of
attention nd expected to sail for Europe
on the 20th.
Mr. llarrimai. continued: "1 have not
been compelled to undergo an operation
and scarcely think one necessary. I had
ths services of three of the very boat doc
tors in the west. I expect to be at home
for several days and I don't anticipate that
my proposed trip to Europe on the 26th will
be Interfered with.
"My daughter, Mary, has not been ill.
It Is my younger daughter at home. My
little 4-year-old girl has a slight attack of
scarlet fever."
Mr. Harriman concluded his talk by say
ing that he would not attend to business
for several days. The railroad magnate
was accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Mary", and was met at the Grand Central
station by his wife and daughter. Dr. L. R.
Morris and Dr. Lyle. tha family physician,
awaited Mr. Harrlman's arrival at tha lat
ter's home. Several other friends were also
at his home.
At the home of Mr. Harriman It was said
that he had recovered from his attack, but
would have to rest for a few days. Noth
ing has been determined upon regarding an
operation.
Dr. Lewis P. Morris. Mr. Harrlman's at
tending physician, said tonight:
Mr. Harriman has a slight attack of ap-
pendlcltla. He will not be operated upon
and I fip'l that he will have entirely r
covered in a few days. Three doctors were
called Into ronaultation on Mr. Harrlman's
condition today and they all decided that
there was no need for an operation. Some
persona afflicted with appendicitis do not
consider themselves cured until the annen-
dlx Is removed, but Mr. Harriman la not of
thla way of thinking and taera ia no neces
sity for an operation In his case.
