A number of South Omaha merchant
have filed a written protest with the city
authorities against the granting of a licence
"S. to the Haywood Notion company. It Is al-
leged In thla protest that a wagon owned
ry mis company nan appeared in the city
lally for the last week and that a regular
atreet peddler license has been taken out
each day. This wagon carries all kinds of
notions and has three or four salesmen It
Is asserted that quite an amount of selling
Is done each evening. The license book
shows that for a week the sum of 12 '0 has
been paid dally for a peddler license. Mer
chants who occupy storor and pay rent
have filed this protest. They want the
mayor and council to refuse a license tt
this notion wagon unless on increase In
the amount of the dally license tax I made.
In a cine of this kind the city has the
right under an existing ordinance to charge.
tW a year for a two-horse wagon or K f-r
tlx months. Each person over one accom
panying such a wagon must pay one-half
of the license fee.
It appears to be the understanding around
the city hall that when the manager of ;ha
notion wagon calls again for a license- ho
will be ssked to put down $35 for a six
months' license and $17.50 for each assistant
working with the WRgnn. In case such ac
tion does not put a stop to the wagon do
ing business here the council Is to be re
quested to pass an ordinance raising the

Wreckers Want ton tract...
Since the old Transit house at Twenty
seventh and M streets has been condemned
a number of wrecking contractors are look
ing for the Job. One wrecker has offered
$500 for the material In the building, while
other are figuring on making about the
same offer. Building Inspector Wlnegard
said Saturday that unless work on razing
the building commenced on August 1 tho
;lty would take a hand In the matter. The
inspector further stated that City Attorney
I-ambert had advised him to have the build
ing wrecked in case the owners paid no at
tention to the notices sent. As to the con-
I dltlon of the building. Inspector Wlnegard
declared that there was not a door left on
the Interior of the structure and that there
was scarcely a whole pane of glass in any
of the windows. In addition to this the
brick walls are so badly cracked that It Is
dangerous to remain In the vicinity of the
building when the wind Is blowing., On the
north side of the building there Is a crack
' k the wall nearly a foot wide. Most of the
S - (roaring haa been torn up and carried away.
Some time ago the inspector requested the
louncll to order a fence put about the
building to prevent people from getting too
close, but with the understanding that the
building was to be torn down soon the
fence was not ordered. Thla condition of
(fairs does not hitch very well with the
statement made Saturday In the Omaha
senior yellow that the Northwestern rail
road would utilise the property for an office
building.

ASTHMA fl'BBn
Eight years ago I began to have short
ness of breath and choking, constant
wheeling and rattling In my chest and
coughing. 1 would raise tough phlegm.
Finally I got so bad I could not work.
Imctnrs told me Asthma could not le
cured. I had to sit up at night; the only
relief I got was from smoking an asthma
nowder. which only gave temporary re
lief. I lost flesh nnd strength. I went to
Dr. Branaman a nhvsloal wreck, and in a
few weeks 1 was a new man. I can now
breathe free and easy. I sleep like a child
ll nmht I do not cough r have any
more rattling or wheeling. This New Cure
Is a sure specific for Asthma, and I rec

On June 28, 1906, the supreme treasurer.
by order of the executive committee, drew
from the treasurer of tho commonwealth
Of Massachusetts securities of the emerg
ency fund amounting to $103,000, ace value.
Supreme Treasurer Skinner was fortunate
In being ablo to find a purchaser for theso
securities the next day, and the proceeds
of the sate, amounting to $202,2.87, were
turned Into the widows' and orphans' bene
fit fund, to be used in the payment of mor
tality claims. This Is the second draft upon
the emergency fund, the previous draft
having been made in April, and amounting
to 195,000 of accumulated Interest In the
hands of the supreme trustees.
This is the first practical application of
the new plan and rates for use of the
emergency fund to be applied to the pay
ment of claims on account of the oldar
members of the. order, and preventing the
calling of an extra assessment.
The supreme secretary of the Royal Ar
canum Is compiling the dates of birth and
attained ages of all members of the order

ter part of July, begin to aend copies of
the registers to officers of the councils
showing the date of birth, attained age,
amount of assessment at regular rate of
each member, so that the officers can com
pare the same with their records, make cor
rections and in this way be relieved of
much detail labor.
Hereafter a member may change under
the new law from a $3,000 or $2,000 to a $1,500
certificate, and If the change Is made on
account of the new plan, tho certificate will
be Issued to him free of expense.
