THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 22. 1903.
ELECTION AT OMAHA CLUB
Stormy 8esion Ended by Psrtmptorj
Baling of President Peck.
' MtTHOD OF BALLOTING IN QUESTION
Blaw Providing far Chans la At
larkrd and Debate Wain Warm
Till rrestdent Declare Re.
nit of Election.
A Cut on. of the stormiest sessions in
the history of the Omaha club, Dr. F. W.
Lake, C. W. Hull nrd W. M. Burgess were
finally declared members of the board of
directors to serve for three years.
It all happened at the annual meeting
urxl dinner of the club Isst evening. The
balloting was made from noon until t
o'clock In the evening In accordance with
a by-Jaw enacted by the board of direc
tor, the constitutionality of which by-law
precipitated quite a discussion at the meet
ing. The matter was brought to a head
by President Peck declaring all motions
questioning the by-law out of order, and de
claring the members mentioned above duly
elected to the directory.
ThS candidates for the vacancies on the
board were W. M. Burgess, C. W. Hull,
Dr. F. W. Lake and W. J. C. Kenyon. The
election of Dr. Lake and the defeat of Mr.
Kenyon Is ascribed to the activity on the
part of the younger membership to secure
a representative on the board.
When the question of the eligibility of
the three members elected to the
directory was brought up heavy fir
ing could be heard In the offing by a squad
of reporters who stood on the outside
and waited eagerly for news from the
front. A clash was happily averted by
President Peck declaring the members
elected and asking for a motion to adjourn,
which was promptly received and seconded.
The discussion pro and con regarding the
constitutionality of the election was entered
Into In a spirited manner by Members
Italdridge, Kennedy, O'Neal, McGrew, Re
dlck, McPherson and a few others.
The balloting was spirited, 198 members
out of a possible 29 voting the largest
vote cast In ths history of the club.
Dlaaer Pleasantly Enjoyed.
Notwithstanding the feeling which
marked the annual meeting of 166 members
who sat down to the annual dinner had
pardonable pride in feeling Jubilant over
the present prosperous condition of the
organisation. Both the annual report of
the directors and the vote cast at yester
day's election were Indicative of the en
couraging condition obtaining at the
Omuha club, despite the little parliamentary
tiff that broke out at the meeting.
The dinner was purely an Informal func
tion, as la the rule on such occasions at
the club. President Peck reviewed the an
nual report and the members talked of
the past, present and future Of the club,
Steward Perkins, who recently succeeded
Steward Pry or, was the recipient of many
compliments.
The board of directors will meet. It Is
believed, Monday evening to elect the offi
cers for the enusulng year. -
The annnual report of the board of di
rectors baa been published. It shows a
resident membership of 2P1, a nonresident
membership of eighty-nine, an army Hat of
eight, twelve honorary members and thirty
four absent members. Twenty-five mem
bers Wert admitted jltlrlna' th vaa, mnA
nine resigned and aeven moved out of the
city. Four members, W. C. Ives, Ben B
Wood, F. A. Nash, second, and Frank
Murphy died during ths year. The expenses
for the year were 136,283.68, which Is 82,600
greater than for the preceding year by rea
son of Increased patronage and of building
Improvements. The receipts In all depart'
menta Increased over those of 1908.

his way heme at a late hour las night.
Martin had been out with a friend and
y when he reached the crossing at Twenty

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM
Any Man Ore Fifty.
Tou can Interest any man over fifty years
of age In anything that will make him feel
better, because while he may not as yet
have any positive organic disease he n
longer feels the bouyancy and vigor ot
twenty-five nor the .freedom from aches
' and pains ha enjoyed In earlier years, and
he very naturally examines with Interest
any proposition looking to the Improve
ment and preservation of his health.
He will notice among other things that
the stomach of fifty Is a very different one
from the stomach hs possessed at twenty
five. The greatest cars must be exercised
as to what Is eaten and how much of It,
and even with the best of care, there will
be Increasing digestive weakness with ad
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or Improve the
digestion and assimilation of food Is on
which Interests not only every man of fifty
but every man, woman or child any age,
because the whole secret of good health,
good blood, strong nerves, la to have a
tomach which will promptly and thorough
ly digest wholesome food because blood,
nerves, brain tissue and every other con
stituent of the body are entirely the pro
duct of digestion, and no medicine or
"health" food can possibly create pure
blood or restore shaky nerves, when a weak
stomach Is replenishing the dally wear ana
tear of the body from a mass of ferment
ing half digested food.
No, iho stomach itself wants help and In
no round-about way, either; It wants direct
unmistakable assistance, such as Is given
by one or two Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble be
cause their use gives the stomach a chance
to rert and recuperate, one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets contains digestive ele
ments sufficient to digest 8.000 grains of
ordinary food such as bread, meat, eggs,
etc.
The plan of dieting Is simply another
name for starvation, and the use of pre
pared foods and - new fangled break
fast fds simply makes matters worse, as
sny dyspeptic who has tried them knows.
As Dr. Bennett says, the only reason I
ran Imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsb
leis are not universally used by evurybady
who Is troubled In sny way with poor
digestion Is because may people seem to
think that because a medicine Is advertiser
or sold In drug stores or la protected by a
tradii mark must be a humbug, whereas as
a rt-ivtt-r of truth any druggist who Is
observant knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have' cured more people of indiges
tion, heart burn, heart trouble, nervous
prostration and run-down condition gener
ally than all the patent medicines and
doctors' prescriptions fur stomach trouble

AFFAIRS AT SOUill OMAHA
Residents in 8onthweit Fart of Town Wait
Crossing Over Tracks.
ANOTHER LONG VIADUCT IS ASKED FOR
Is Ion raetfle and Rock Island t ntn
panics Will Re Requested to Pro
vide an Overhead Way
for street.
Owing to the rapid bullilit.g up of the
southwestern portions of the city, mem
bers of the city council hav within the
laM few weeks been requested to see if
something cannot be done towards the con
struction of a viaduct across the t'nlon
Pacific and Rock Island tracks. , Rotii.li
sketches of the proposed bridge have been
made. These sketches show a bridge com
mencing at Twenty-fourth and W streets
and terminating at Twenty-sixth aid T
rtfeets. It is estimated that such a via
duct would cost about ln,(on. Two rail
roads, the Union Pacific and the Rock
Island, would come In for the payment of
the cost of such a structure. W. P. Ad
klns, president of the council, has been
figuring on the matter and he hopes be
fore long to be able to put the question
of the construction of a viaduct in the
south part of the city to the officers of
these railroads.
Owing to the right of way of the Union
Pacific being fenced from the Q street via
duct to Jefferson street, those living on
the hill in the vicinity of the Highland
school are compe led to cross the Q street
viaduct to Twenty-seventh street end then
walk south or go to Albright and cross
the tracks at Jefferson street.
This matter has been up before, but the
railroads have paid no attention to the re
quests. With the constant Increase In traf
fic In the railroad yards and the laying of
additional sidetracks the railroad com
panies realise that somethlng'wlll have to
be done before long to assist the residents
In the south and southwestern portions of
the city. City officials who are looking Into
this matter hope to have It favorably con
sidered by the railroad companies Interested
by spring.
Viaduct Committee Named.
Mayor Koutsky has appointed Council
men Klewlt, Adktns and McCralth as a
special committee to wait upon the Union
Pacific railroad officials In regard to the
construction of a viaduct across the tracks
at F street. Councilman Klewlt first sug
gested that the city attorney be directed
to draft an ordinance compelling the Union
Pacific to build such a bridge. It was
made clear to Klewlt that such aa ordi
nance would be useless under the present
charter and so the committee was ap
pointed. One of the members of the com
mittee stated to a reporter for The Bee
yesterday that there was no use bothering
about ths matter at the present time, as the
officers of the Union Pacific had stated
several months ago that a viaduct would
be built across the tracks at F street within
five years. The necessity for the bridge to
determine the date of commencing work.
There Is very little traffic across the tracks
at F street and the railroad company does
not feel that there Is any need of a bridge
at this point right away. This matter is,
therefore, to be dropped for the time be
ing. Investigating Salooa Robbery.
Chief Brlggs Is still investigating the
holdup In Ford's saloon on lower N street
Friday night. - Sam and Jake Piper are
being held on suspicion while the affair Is
being Investigated. This Is what Chief
Brlggs has to say of the affair "The holdup
was planned for the . purpose of shaking
down W. W. Westrope, who was reported
to have received a check for 8600 Friday
noon. Those Implicated expected that this
money would be found on Westrope. The
saloon was closed Immediately after the
affair and will remain closed until ordered
opened by the police board." Continuing,
the chief said than Westrope was left soma
cash and property not long ago and mar
ried. Since coming to South Omaha the
couple have lived at a house of 111 fame in
the proscribed district and Westrope has
been spending his money freely. The chief
expects that when he secures sufficient evi
dence the county attorney will file com
plaints against the Piper boys.
Hospital BeneCU Entertainments.
The Bon Temps club, a new social
organisation In South Omaiia, has made
arrangements for a series of three enter
tainments to be given for the benefit of
the South Omaha hospital building fund.
These three entertainments will be given
at Workmen temple. February 3 is the
date set for the first of the aeries and
February 7 for the second. Both of these
entertainments will be musical and lite
rary. The last entertainment will be on

TWO STREET CAR INCIDENTS
On that Happens Leads Conductor to
Tell of Another Even
. Stranger.
Passengers on. a northbound car al Six
teenth and Dodge streets had their breath
taken away Friday evening by two men
with a loaded trunk. The trunk was life
sized and the men wanted to ride It on
the rear end of the platform. The con
ductor saw what was coming and met the
men at the car steps.
"Where are you going with the trunk?"
asked the conductor.
"On the platform," replied the smaller
of the men, unconcernedly.
"Not on this car," answered the con
ductor. "We are not running a fast freight
line. Oet an express wagon. All aboard!"
Ding! Ding! -
The passengers recovered their breath,
the car moved on, with the two men and
the trunk on the corner of the street.
"Is that an everyday experience?" was
asked of the conductor, when he had his
fares collected and a few seconds to spare.
"No," he replied, "that Incident might
not happen again In years to any one con
ductor. It was the most striking exhibition
of either nerve or Ignorance I have had in
my five years' experience on this line."
"I had a funny little experience during
Christmas week," continued the street car
man, In a reminiscent vein.''"! was col
lecting fares and transfers in a crowded
car and when I got through the car and
was folding up the transfers I noticed a
8100 bill in the transfers."
"And you thought it might have been
meant for a tip?" the questioner asked.
"Oh, no. I immediately thought someone
had grabbed it out of his pocket In mistake
for the transfer," he said. "And, what sur
prised me the most was the fact that the
person did not discover the loss until he
reached home. I was making the return
trip and Intended to turn the money In
to headquarters, when a man boarded the
car and asked If I had the bill. He showed
the transfer he meant to give men and I
remembered him, so we Just exchanged.
He gave me 35 for ChrlBtmas."
''And you bought your wife a Christmas
present with the 85 T" was asked.
"I had the woodshed shingles patched,"
he replied.

fort in the wilderness at Fort Calhoun
from 1819 to 1827, and during all these years
their graves have been entirely neglected
and most of them lost Numerous frag
ments of tombstones have been gathered
from various places and parties during the
last twenty-flve years that had been
broken tip by the Indians, and placed in
the Nebraska State museum, and only the
officers' graveyard is now definitely known.
This winter Senator Millard and W. A.
Woods, the historian at Fort Calhoun, have
taken up the matter, and upon the recom
mendation of the senator the secretary ot
war has given the quartermaster's depart
ment Instructions to have the post quarter
master at St. Louis have a search mads
for the remains and have them sent to the
military cemetery at Fort McPherson,
where they will be reinterred sn,d a monu
ment erected.
