Corner Sixteenth and Douglas Sts. elected senator mounted tne stand and aced the large assemblage the applause increased ,ln volume and bad barely died out when Lieutenant Governor McGUton rose to add the formality of Introducing Senator Burkett. .This was the occasion for renewed cheering. Senator Burkett at 1!:17 began the delivery of his address, concluding at 12:11. Preliminary to his prepared address the senator-elect face tiously remarked that, "This might be very sudden to some of you; I am sure It Is to me, for the committee has just notified me." This caused a ripple of laughter. Senator Barkett Talks. Mr. Burkett said: Mr. President of the Joint Convention, Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legis lature; I deem this election to the United States senate the highest honor that the state can give one. It is the highest posi tion that any state can give to any man. 1 thank you for it. "Thank" Is so small a word and so easily said, and oft-times so lightly said that some way It seems al most Inadequate to express my feelings. If the. English language contained a stronger word of gratitude I assure you that I would use It. My appreciation is sincere oui language fails. As there are no words to express grief nor any to por tray '.he sublime emotions of Joy, so are there none adequate to convey the feelings of the heart bounding with gratitude. I pledge you six years of the beat service that 1 can give to the state and the na tion as my appreciation of your generosity here and now. 1 crave your indulgence while I -go further and thank the people of the state who elected you and thus gave you the power to confer this honor, (Cheers.) I realise that with this election there comes much of duty and something of responsibility. There Is also something of achievement and something of honor in being elected' a United States senator. But I have never believed that "success" In politics was simply to be elected to something. . The prise In public life is not In gelling office, that is only the oppor tunity -to contest for the prise. Tlure is little in title. The genuine reward the cherished ambition of the soul is the ap probation of a loving ' constituency for some measure of success in performing the duties of the office. Tou have given me the title, I will try and make It hon orable, Tou have given me the oppor tunity, I will undertake to win the prise. (Cheers.) ' I congratulate you all upon your own election. It Is an expression of confidence that you may well appreciate. It Is an old and familiar platitude that "the world want better men," I dm an optimist and PLENTY OF PROOF From People You Know from Omaha Citizens Tbe greatest skeptic can hardly fall to be convinced In tbe face of evidence like this. It lg impossible to produce better proof of merit than the testimony of resident of Omaha, of people who can be teen at any time.

Holmes today announced himself as a candidate for congress to succeed Mr. Burkett. Mr. Holmes has served twelev years as a district Judge, and In the contest for the delegation from Lan caster county he will be a strong factor. As a Judge he has occupied a position of standing and as an orator he Is effective and pleasing. He said today to a corre spondent for The Bee: v "In his message to congress President Roosevelt has very clearly defined the pres ent paramount Issue to be proper and rea sonable regulation of the railroads of the county, by such an extension of the scope of the Interstate Commerce commission as will give that body power to make Its find ings and orders Immediately enforclble. 1 take the ground that the First district should be represented by a republican who stands with the president upon this Issue, some 'man whose past affiliations and pres ent surroundings Justify the belief that he Is sincere wben he pledges himself to sup. port the chief executive la. his announce, pdllcy. That pledge I unreservedly ana heartily give and I Invite all who believe with me on this question and who think that I can serve tht people of this district faithfully and well to assist tne In my can vass. "I also pledge myself to vote fer a bill that shall effectively stop the giving of rebates by the railroads, and shall do all I can to wipe out a system that gives on man advantage over another."

CHANGES IN SALARIES OF OFFICERS Kamber of Present Boards Are Dis posed of aad Datles Throws oa Mayor aad the Coaarll. (From a Staff Correspondent) L.INCOLJS', Jan. IS. (Special Telegrams Representative Andersen of Douglas county has his charter bill ready for Introduction In the house.' He Intends to present it to morrow. The bill Is an elaborate one and makes many revisions. The bill provides for from ten to thirteen councllmen on salaries of fl.ZuO a year each. It raises the mayor's salary from fJ.&oo to 14,000, that of the city attorney from $2.sno to K.500. city clerk from $2,0u0 to $2,250, city engineer from $2,300 to $3,0tO, and cuts down the city comptroller from $3,000 to $2,250. The Board of Public Works Is abolished and the power restored to the mayor and city council. with detail work placed under the charge I of the city engineer. In explaining his bill Mr. Andersen suld: "In the proposed charter amendments I have given the matter my persona! and careful attention. I realize how difficult It is to construct a new charter in a satis factory manner by amending the old one. It seems to mo that a now charter ought to be provided and such a charter should be submitted to a vote of the people, and If rejected n charter commission should have authority to prepare it new one for resubmission until such time ns the people approve a charter satisfactory to them. "I realize that there will of necesnlty be more or less criticism In the proposed char ter amendments, but I believe a careful reading will convince llie public thnt an earnest effort bas been made to Improve Its present faults In our city government. "I have purposely Introduced the charter thus early because It ought to be read an J studied and suggestions made by all In terested, as to how It can be minie better or more ncceptable to the people. It Is essentially u public question in wliloh the taxpayers of Omaha should be doubly In terested and their suggestions will be highly valued by my colleagues as well us myself. "I believe the great majority of my con stituents are more deeply concerned In having a charter for Omaha which will aid In the upbuilding of the city nnd permit a. clean, economical city government than any other rubject. To this end I have con sulted with those experienced In municipal affairs and have decided- to Introduce the charter amendments at once, with the hope that the best citizens will take an interest In the subject and give the Douglas county delegation nnd tho author of the bill the benefit of their suggestions. Cartalls Power of Hoards. "The generul policy laid down In the amendments has been to eliminate and curtail the various boards which have grown up year after year, materially tak ing away the power from the mayor and city council, and restore such powers to the mayor and city council or officers who are elected by the people. The responsil blllty has been placed ns far as possible upon some one public officer. The proposed changes are substantially as follows:, "Not less than ten nor more than thir teen councllmen to be elected by the people for a term of two years. "The city officers to be elected for two years. The election to be November, 1905, and every two years thereafter. This brings the city election Into what are called the off years, so that the public mind will not be absorbed In general political questions, and will give municipal affairs close atten tion. The newly elected officers will take their seats in January. I regret that the terms of the present city officials will be shortened a few months, but this seems Inevitable. It is for the public good to have fall elections, saving In expense one Item of from $8,000 to $10,000 and possibly more. "The mayor and city council are required to provide for the payment of day laborers r r . -.,i by the passage oi an o.u..u..- k-,.. weekly Instead of monthly, as heretofore, thus saving them the trouble and expense of discounting their pay checks. "It Is the duty of the city attorney to proceed against the mayor and city coun cllmen and their bondsmen in case money Is voted out cf the treasury Illegally and wilfully In excess of appropriations. "It also provides for the abolishment of personal bonds for city officers and pro vides for guaranty bonds. "The mayor and city council are required to have compiled and published all city re ports of city officials annually. No annual report has been published during the last eight years. In that time $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 have been paid In taxes and per- MUSIC LESSONS Often Bring oa Nervous Troables if the Pood Is aot Right. It Is curious how the study of music and piano practice brings on so many cases of nervous prostration. One would think that an art so divine would protect Its votaries. Sometimes the food is at fault. The daughter-of a minister In Albany, Wis., when in the midst of her studies In musio, found herself run down and ap proaching nervous prostration. "She lost flesh rapidly, appetite disap peared, and thut distressing sign of ap proaching sickness lassitude and wearl-neBS-was with her steadily." i The Minister her Father had her put on Grape-Nuts and ehs began an improve ment immediately. He says: "Scores of mornings she ate nothing' but Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, and Improved so rapidly that it was a surprise to the family. Now she is in fine condition, has continued her studies, walks four times a day to school three quarters of a mllo each way and 1 a fins specimen ot health and strength." The Minister speaks of another young girl, 8 years old, who suffered terribly from chronic indigestion, and was unable to attend school, a weak, puny little girl who could not eat any sort of food wlth- out distress l "Don the suggestion of the Minister she was put on Grape-Nuts food, and a change j began to take place within a day or two. She Is now a healthy, natural gin. There's a reason. Every little particlo of Orape-Nuts, when examined by a mag nifying glass shows on the outside small particles of sugar. This is not ordinary sugar, but Is a peculiar kind resulting from the change of starch Into sugar, which exudes from the particles during the pro cess of manufacture. This Is called Post Sugar and la ready for digestion and as similation without In any way taxing the organs of the body. That Is one reason, why Grape-Nuts will rebuild a person quickly. There is another and even more Important reason. The food contains certain elements selected from wheat and barley Intended by Nature to be used in rebuilding the soft, gray filling In the nerve centers and brain. These elements are phosphate of potash and albumen which combine In the human body to make the soft gray matter re ferred to. When the brain and nerves are properly fed the whole machinery of the body moves along with strength and precision. Name given by Postutn Co , Battle Creek, Mich.

"On account of the proposed abolishment of the Board of Public Works and Advisory board, both of these officials will have ad ditional duties and responslMlitles. There are no other changes In the salaries. "The president of the city council whllo temporarily acting as mayor Is prohibited from drawing the full salary of mayor and member of the police board. It Is stated that under the present conditions in the absence of the mayor the president of the city council draws salary as mayor, councilman and member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. "The city comptroller" Is required to check and audit the books monthly of all officers handling city funds and make re port to the mayor and council. "The city clerk Is authorized to appoint one chief deputy to act In his absence. Other city officers have power to appoint at least one deputy. "The Board of Public Works Is abolished and the power and authority restored to the mayor and city council, with detailed work placed under the supervision of the city engineer. "The advisory board is abolished and its .power and authority Is placed In the hands of the mayor and city council. "All matters relating to the Board of Health are left in the hands of the health commissioner, under the direction of the mayor and city council. The health com missioner Is to be elected. "The mayor and council are prohibited from paying one-half of the expense of grading from the general fund and from changing the fire limits on resolution. Publio Service Corporations. "The telephone system has been added to the other public utilities mentioned In section 123. It Is made the duty of the city council to pass ordinances regulating charges of publio utilities. "The street caV company is not only re quired to pave between its rails, but be tween the tracks as well. This was re quired in former years, but the charter was amended so as to exempt t from paving between the tracks and, as a con sequence, this expense has fallen upon the property owners. "A paving repair plant is authorized. It Is made the duty of the city engineer to operate the same and keep the streets and alleys In good repair after the expiration of the term of the guarantee contract. , "It Is made the duty of the Fire and Po lice commission to enforce all laws and ordinances.. "The police magistrate has to appoint the clerk of the police court and give bonds. The I clerk Is required to give all his time to the duties of the office. "In paving matters the mayor and city council are authorised to order paving done without petition within 4,000 feet of the court house. The present limit is 3,000 feet. "For all new paving and repavlng, out side of 4,000 feet, the property . owner Is safeguarded In that no paving can be or dered until petition is llled, thus the right of petition Is protected. Streets hereto fore paved and on which It is desired to change material on petition of a majority of the owners of feet frontage the mayor and council are authorized to order re pavement where paving has been down for eighteen years. Financial Provisions. "The sinking fund is increased to meet the fixed charges on bonded indebtedness. The limit on bonded Indebtedness is In creased to provide for intersections and other bonds voted by the people from time to time. The excess is now small, the people have already voted additional bonds' for intersection, which cannot bo marketed unless the total is raised. I "In the allotment of special funds, $30, 000 is added to the fire fund and $20,000 to the polce fund "There is a reduction of $10,000 for clean ing and maintenance of sewers and $10,000 ' for cleaning and sweeping streets. This leaves ample funds for both purposes, if I the city engineer Is permitted to use mod- 1 ern Improvements, which will Increase and j not diminish the number of men em- ployed "It is believed the amounts named will place both the fire and police departments i In good condition and at a net increase of $30,000. "The foregoing are substantially the pro posed changes from the present charter. It has been suggested to me that I would save myself considerable grief and trouble If I would hold back the charter amend ments until later in the session, but being a plain business man and accustomed to straightforward dealing, I am going to be gin at the beginning the same as If it, was a business matter, and I shall place the whole subject before tbe people and get their views upon It, then I will be better prepared to battle for what is right and what is wanted by my constituents."
