oa Knlghta,
And when rhoebtia Apollo had drtven
hi, steeda far beyond tba western limit of
tha world, and tha artificers and traffickers
In ware and goods bad withdrawn from
the market place, behold there waa a
anund of great mirth and revelry at the
citadel of tba Imperial city. For therein
bad gathered of tba chosen cltisens a
goodly throng, wboae heart, were merry
with a great gladness, and who did bomage
before the mighty and Imperial master of
tha world. And their rejoicing was not
confined, but was the more great and up
lifting because the legions had returned
to the Imperial city with their arms bound
In laurel, and their shields wreathed with
bay. And with them they brought cap
tive a horde of barbarians who had vainly
resisted the puissant and masterful decree
of the great Samson, whom name Is hon
ored above all others but tha king, Ak-Bar-Ben
VIII may his name ever be
blessed and whose voice Is the voice of
the mighty and reslstlers monarch of the
realm. And with those captives were those
who had reviled and ..contumaciously re
jected the edict. These- fellows, whose
thoughts are of evil and whose hearts turn
to destruction, were safely confined that
they might grace a Roman holiday. And
with on, acclaim did the multitude 11t up
Its voice when, the decree of the noble
Samson was made known, that the mal
contents should be put to the test.
Bo It came to pass that In the arena they
were given to feel of the power of the Im
perial one whose will they had In their
Ignorance so boldly defied. Nor did they
lack In valor, but showed such mettle
that with admiration were they who sur
vived received to knighthood and citlx-3n-ahlp.
And all of them wrought well and
nobly In the arena, but did not never so
well as him who is Knight Frltchett and
who proved he Is a doughty knight and
one well endowed by the gods with those
qualities of mind and graces of body that
denote one who does not willingly let go
when ha has a good thing within his grasp.
Prosperity Blesseth the Realai,
And when the test had been made did the
noble mufti announce to tho'se who were
assembled about his station that to the
number of mcxlvl had the knights paid the
tribute of coin current In the market place,
and that this number Is by greater than
wera fully paid members on the same date
laaVyar. When initiation ceased In 19u2
but 9-8 knights had paid up. It Is the de
sire that tha full 1,600 be enrolled before
September 1, and every knight is urged to
contribute his efforts to this end. The an
nouncement was received with much ap
plause. Judge D. M. Vlnsonhaler waa called upon
for a speech, but let himself off by saying
that ha heartily endorsed all that the In
stitution stands for, and Is always willing
to aid in pushing it forward.
Rev. Clifford Bnowden of Chicago quoted
from that other noble Roman and preacher
of twenty centuries ago, "I am a cltlzan
of no mean city," and proceeded to hurl
bouquets at Omaha In a gladsome pro
fusion. He enthusiastically complimented
t. the knights on tba order, .saying that In all
his travels and all his studies he had never
read of or encountered so unique and. alto-
together the people and advertising the
community. lie expressed his thanks to
the friend who bed "Inveigled" him into
Joining, and congratulated tha knlghta that
they have the privilege in living in a city
. where the public spirit is not deadened by
the sise of tha town.
Others with the Clad Mlt.
C. A. Berry of Casey, la., added his en
dorsement to the words of Rev. Snowden,
and said he was glad he came.
Frank Broad well .spoke of the unifying
Influence of Ak-Sar-Ben. and the great
power for good It has been in the com
munity. Ed P. Smith Impressed on the visitors
the fact that Ak-Sar-Ben represents the
active business life of Omaha, and that the
men who have made tba city what it Is
are tha men who have made Ak-Sar-Ben
success.
Roma Miller said ha waa glad, after a
long trip through the eastern and Cana
dian cities, to get back to Omaha. Every
tlma he goea away, ha said, he returns a
better and more loyal citizen of Omaha.
He spoke of two things bis recent Journey
had Impressed upon him as Omaha's great
est needs a good hotel and the perfection
of tba boulevard and park system. The
latter he urged as being a publlo duty,
and aaid if it could not be aecured by taxa
tion, then It ought to be by subscription.
He would gladly subscribe to the end of
Jiavlng the boulevard system made whole.
George J. Blernsdorf said that he had
heard of Ak-Sar-Ben In Boston and In San
Francisco, and everywhere he went, so
that ha atlll felt like a citizen of Omaha,
although long aince ha had gone from here,
first to Chicago and then to San Francisco.
lie admitted a pride in Omaha, and urged
tha knlghta to peraist In their work.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER
heraaan A McConnell Say Hyossel
Will Give Relief Bold fader
Caaraatee.
Tha season for hay fever Is almost at
hand and many people feel that they will
be obliged to leave town in order to avoid
the sneezing, watery eye, and other an
noytng symptoms of this disagreeable
summer disease.
Sherman McConnell wish us to an
Bounce that when Hyomei ia used, either
as a preventive or cure, there will be no
hay fever. They advise tha use of Hyomei
dslly for two or three weeks before the
Usual tlma for the annual appearance of
hay fever. In this wsy th, attack will be
prevented. If, however, the preventive
treatment waa not started soon enough
and the disease comes on, us, Hyomei
six or aeven times daily snd also rub Hyo
mei Balm thoroughly into the nostrils
both mornicg and night. This treatment
will relieve at once and give a speedy and
permanent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your own
'boms, a climate filled with ozone' and
healing balsams, the same air that on,
breathe, at tha Whit, Mountain, or other
health resorts.
Thar, Is no stomach doaing when Hyomei
Is used. It is Nature's own msthed for
curing all diseases of th, respiratory or
gans, ani Is breathed through a neat pock
et Inhaler thst accompanies every outfit,
so that tha medicated air reaches the min
utest air cells, killing all germs snd sooth
ing and healing th. Irritated mucous mem
brane. It la tha ona treatment for hay fever
wnere Sherman McConnell guarantee
ti refund tha money If it does not give
attraction. All who are subject to hay
faver should begin Its us, at once so aa
to prevent tba disease.

GENERAL DEMAND TOR CROSSWALKS
Conacllmea tome to Meeting Loaded
with Reaolatloas, All of Which
Are Referred to Committee
'Wllbont Debate.
While the session of the city council last
night was of short duration, several com
munications of Importance were read and
referred to committees. On the two claims
for damages on account of the grading of
Q street from Twenty-third street to Twenty-fourth
street. City Attorney Murdock
reported that In his opinion there was no
case and the report was placed on file.
City Attorney Murdock reported that he
now had twenty-two cases pending in tha
supreme court. H. L. Cohn, assistant city
attorney, through Mr. Murdock reported
the cases he had disposed of In the police
court and In other courts.
Crosswalks seemed to be the order of
the evening. Councilman Mike Smith put
in a bid for about three dosen crosswalks
in the southern part of the city. The mo
tion was referred to the street and .allay
committee. Then came Wueenan, O'Connor
and Broderlck with motions for crosswalks.
When the clerk finished reading all thane
papers the mayor remarked that It would
take more than one lumber yard to supply
the material, to say nothing of the c at
of laying the walks
Broderlck demanded that watchmen be
placed at railroad crossings, and aa this
is considered important the city clerk was
directed to notify all railroads passing
through South Omaha to maintain watch
men at grade crossings.
A week ago a communication was re
ferred to City Attorney Murdock regard
ing the drafting of an ordinance for the
laying of a two-plank walk on the north
side of U street between Thirty-ninth and
Fortieth streets. In this connection th.
attorney called the attention of the coun
cil to provisions In the charter which pro
hibit the laying ot wooden sidewalks on
streets which have been graded. He fur
ther say sthat U street is Incorporated in
grading district No. IS, and therefore he
declines to draw the ordinance as directed.
Only permanent sidewalks can be laid In
this district.
A demand Is to be made of the street-car
company to have two cars run on the Q
street line west of Twenty-seventh street.
Now there Is only one car and the service,
so It is stated, is practically worthless.
Just before adjournment Adklns broke
In with a bunch of crosswalks he wanted
laid and his motion met with the same
fate as the others.
Unless Mayor Koutsky calls a special
meeting the council will not convene until
next Monday night.
Board Bays Sapplles.
At the meeting of the Board of Educa
tion held last night Superintendent McLean
suggested that all unasslgncd teachers be
ready to report for duty when the schools
opened on September L Klopp & Bartlett
company of Omaha were given the con
tract for printing the high school bonds at
1125. The eastern bankers who bought the
bonds put up a certified check for I&.0J0
as an evidence of good faith.
The most Important part of tha meet
ing waa the opening of bids for annual
supplies to the schools. This contraot waa
awarded to J. F. McReynolds, as be was
the lowest bidder. Three blda were, put
in, but McReynolds waa the lowest by
about UO.
Superintendent McLean stated that ha
would need not less than three rented
rooms to accommodate tha pupils in the
central portion of the city. It Is under
stood that arrangements for these rooms
will soon be made by the buildings and
grounds committee.
The claim of James Blaha, amounting to
C3. was referred to Bock and Murphy to
settle if satisfactory arrangements could
be made.
The board will meet again on next Mon
day night
Live Stock Exchange Matters.
Captain D. S. Parkhurst, president of
tne south Omaha Live Stock exchange,
said to a Bee reporter last night that it
nugat do soma time before any action
would be taken on the matter of sending
out postal-card Information. President
raranurst said: "To many of the mem
bers of the exchange It does not appear
to be practical to stop the aendlng of postal-card
markets. Should thla be prohibited
here, commission men could wire Lincoln
and the cards could be sent from that
point By sending market reports from
here the shipper will get the latest ad
vices. I do not think that th, local ax
change will take any action In thla matter
ror some time." As for telegrams, com
mission dealers will be permitted to send
aa many aa they please.
This question of sending out market ra-
porta has been brought up in the exchange
a number of times, but action has always
been deferred. It is inferred from the talk
of President Parkhurst that th, question
win do deterred Indefinitely.

Alonzo B. Cruzen, formerly of Curtis,
Neb, but now collector of customs for
Porto Rico, with heaJguartcrs at San Juan,
Is in the city on sixty days' leave of ab
sence from his post. Mrs. Cruzen and their
son accompanies him. They left Porto Rico
July tt and stopped enroute at Washington,
New l'ork and elsewhere, and will go from
here to Boise City, Idaho, and then return
to Curtis for a short visit.
"The business relations between Porto
Rico snd the United Slates is Increasing
rapidly," said Mr. Cruzen. "We now do a
business of !0),0i0 per month with the
United States. Our principal exportation
are sugar, tobacco, coffee and oranges.
The Importations are Ameritaan canned
goods, agricultural machinery and agricul
tural products generally. The people are
beginning to take quite a fancy to Ameri
can products, and the traffic is bound to
grow. As an Instance of the growth of our
exports. last year we shipped only 7.W
of coffee from the Island, and this year
we shipped already 1718,OuO. The natives
are gradually assimilating American ways
and in the two years that we have been
there I notice a remarkable change for tha
better. We have one regiment of native
Porto Ricans that make good soldiers. The
insular police force consists of a force of
7(1, all natives, and they are excellent
officials, and maintain order through the
island very readily.
"Law and order prevails very satis
factorily and the insular police have a com
plete control of the situation. There is
very little crime prevalent and the people
generally are peace and order loving.
School Attendance Larger.
There are now S,i,(vj chllaren attending
the public schools of Porto Rico, and new
schcol buildings are being constantly
erected, the demand for them being inces
sant. The teachers are all Americans and
the children learn rapidly.
"Of the 1,'X',0J people of Porto Rico.
ma.OuO are Catholics. I derive the author-:
Ity for this statement from my friend
Bishop Blenk, who was sent from New
Orleans to take charge of the Catholic In
terests after the American occupation. No
one man in the Islands Is doing mure for
the Americanizing of the people than
Bishop Blenk. He Is an ardent American
and loyal to the core. He is a gentleman
of the highest attainments and a thorough
Christian.
"The stability of the Island has wonder
fully increased under tne American do
minion. The merchants and bankers tell
me that times are infinitely better than
during the Spanish occupation and that
the times are constantly improving. i
'Considerable numbers of cattle are '
raised and they are ot a fine grade. We
shipped 15,000 head last year to Cuba. That 1
island is our principal cattle market.
"There are but two classes In Porto Rico,
the rich and the poor. There is no middle
class. But the Increasing education of the
people will raise up that essential middle
class, that is so much needed for the per
fect development of the country.
"The poor classes subsist almost entirely
upon bananas, mangoes, oranges and pine
apples, which thrive there luxuriantly.
"There is but little intoxication in the
country. The favorite tipple Is rum, though
the American products of Milwaukee and
St. Louis known as Schlits and Anheuser
Busch are becoming popular.
"The Island has a great future before
It, and with the wenign Influence of Amer
ican occupation it will In time become the
most valuable of our Insular possessions."
Today at Courtland Beach the Rodman
hold their annual picnic. There'll be some
thing doing.

DON'T GET IN A SWEAT
Perspiration "sweat" is what the Bible and we common peo
ple call it is a way nature has of driving out of the body refuse
that has no business there. We sweat more in summer, because,
in the overheated bowels, undigested food ferments more quickly
than in winter and produces irritating acids and gases. The bowels,
overworked, try to relieve themselves by violent convulsions,
causing terrible gripes and colics, and diarrhoeal discharges so acid
as to make you sore, and leaving the intestines weak and worn out.
Nature assists body-cleaning by sending the filth out through the
pores of the skin. It is not sate to stop perspiring altogether but
most of the impure matter should be sent out by natural move-,
ments of the bowels, and the offensiye, ill-smelling, linen-staining
sweat done away with. Keep your bowels strong all summer with
the pleasant, candy cathartic CASCARETS, that clean the system
and don't allow the excrement to be sweated out through the
pores. Take a tablet every night, before going to bed. They
work while you sleep and make you feel fine and cool all day.

dent most of the day. The president de
sires te go over with him certain mitten
now pending In the Department of Justice,
including that phase of the Littauer-Lyon
Glove contract case that was referred to
his attention.
The attention of the president was this
evening directed to a circumstantial state
ment published this afternoon that Sec
retary Root expected soon to retire from
the cabinet, to be succeeded by Governor
Taft of the Philippines. It can be said that
there is no definite foundation for the
story. The president since the first inti
mation, many months ago, of Secretary
Root's retirement has hoped and still hopes
he will remain in the cabinet for a long
time yet. He believes the secretary cer
tainly will remain through the coming
winter and probably a much longer time.
