BIDS WILL -REMAIN SEALED Proposals for Supplies Will Hot Be Optotd Until Board Meets' EATON RESENTS IMPLIED CENSURE la Fatare the Clerical Work of Taba ' latlBK Bids Will Sot Be Done la Ad- Taace. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 1. (Special.) Land Commissioner Eqton haa announced that he will not. hereafter, open the quarterly bid for state supplies In advance of tho meetings of the board of purchase and auppllPi. When thejxiard meets In the morning for the purpose of purchasing coal and other supplies needed to keep the Institutions going for the next three months, It will be confronted by a. bushel basket full of bids In assorted envelopes, to be opened and tabulated. Eaton's new policy ha been dictated by the fact that he has been subjected to criticism for following the Old course, which It has been claimed, made abuses possible, although It was ad mitted generally that It saved considerable time to hava the offers tabulated for tha Inspection of the contracting board. "I have been subject to some unjust criti cism," said Eaton, when asked by a news paper man whether or not he had opened the bids In advance. "I do not propose to give any further opportunity for my crit ics." . Ha then led the way to an Immense vault and thre , opened a cupboard in which the bids are kept. The envelopes were heaped up In disorder, but the seals were unbroken as far as could be determined by a casual inspection. " Recently It wis bruited about that the ioal bids had been opened prematurely and that certain interests would benefit. Eaton's sweeping denial that any of the bid hava b!n touched, covers the entire situation. Recently a bidder on a large contract with one of the state departments Insisted that unfair advantage had been takn because the bids were opened and then rejected urging that It would enable competitors to get his prices and method of estimating the material needed to his disadvantage. It Is said that the premature opening of bids might through official con nivance place other bidders than the pre ferred individual at a disadvantage by showing him In advance what the offers were so that his bid might be reduced to the winning basis. . The practice r which Eaton has discon tinued is of long standing. The bids have been' opened a week or more In advance of the board meeting and the actual date for their opening under the terms of the advertisement In order, that the land com missioner's clerical" force' might prepare a tabulation which .'would show the purchasing- board at a glance Just what the bids were ci each class of merchandise wanted. It was acknowledged that abuses might creep In- through an understanding between bidders and officials, but the system was Justified 'on the ground that it saved time. WJien thai. board meets In the morning the first duty confronting it will be the opening of more than 300 bids. To Examine Teachers. Joseph Sparks,, formerly superintendent at Aurora, has already entered upon the performance of his duties as a member of the state examining board for county teachers' certificates provided for in the certification bill enacted W the last legis lature. The active, work ,of this body will begin about January 1, when the task of examining ,the grades of nearly 10,000 teach ers holding . county certificates will be taken up. The otBeK'memberA of this board, L ,.,Q. (Harnly, chief clerk la, the state superintendent's Office; Superinten dent A. E. Ward of Hartlngton, and Miss Anna Howland of Lincoln, will begin work about tha first, of the year. Tho salaries of these offlalale wilf determined by the amount of money received In fees. Practi cally all of their time will Je required, and they wll give up thojr other professional work. The wariti-ef ..the ; examining board for tate cerunaatea will be- much lighter be muse of the fact that there are com paratively few applicants for the higher rrade documents. The member of this atter board are: Superintendent A. C. fuller. Beatrice; Superintendent E. B. Iherman, Columbus; -principal Cora O'Con lell Ashland. : Go In for Science.

Pott Tang Bow Women Should ' ' Prepare for Motherhood ' The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look for ward to childless and lonely old atfe. Many a wlfo haa found herself inca pable of motherhood owing to a dis placement of the i womb or lack of .strength in the g-eaeratlye organs. Mrs. Ahua Potts Frequent backache and distressing pains, accompanied by offensive dis charges and generally by irregnlar and scanty menstruation Indicate a dis placement or nerve degeneration of the womb and surrounding organs. The question that troubles women Is how can a woman who has some fe male trouble bear healthy children? Mrs. AnnaPotU, of Sio Park Avenue, Hot Springs, Ark., writes : My Dear Ura. Ptnkham: " During the early part of my married ltf I waa delicate in health : both my hutbaud and I were very anxious for a-bild to bless our borne, but 1 had two miscarriage, aud could not tarry a child to maturity. A neighbor a bo bad been cured by LydiaE. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so aud soon felt that I was growings trongxr, my headache and backaches kit i ue, I had uo more bearing -down pains, and felt like a new woman . U'itiau a year I brv-am the mother of a strong, healthy child, the Joy of our home. Lydia . fuik haru's Vegetable Compound is certainly a plndld remedy, and I ih every woman who wan' to become a mother would try it." Actual sterility in woman Is very rare. If any woman thinks she is strr ile, let her try Lydia E. l'inkham'a Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs. I'lukham, Lynn, Mats. Her advice Is ti to expectant or would-be mothers. and that there Is a seeming tendency to pass the general culture courses by more than has existed In the past. This new development is attributed to the extensive advertising given the engineering courses. Dean Charles E. 1 Bessey believe that the movement follows the general tendency throughout the country towards specializa tion In the applied sciences. In part It Is attributed to the fact that the university la now thoroughly equipped with the ap paratus needed to make such courses suc cessfully and to the fact that this Is now generally known through the advertising which has been carried. The total registration last night was 1.716, which Is expected to Increase to 1.750 In the regular college courses. Including law, but excluding agricultare, music and other subsidiary departments. The grand total for all of the departments la expected to reach 3,000. Country Clab Bays Home. The Lincoln Country club haa purchased the property at Seventh and Washington streets which Is now held under lease. For two years since the organisation of the club it has occupied the leased premises, but recently It has grown so strong that It has been considered advisable to own the property and the method of financing the purchase are now being considered by the executive officers of the organization. It is proposed to issue stock which will be underwritten by prominent members. The reorganization Includes a scheme for the reconstruction of the club house, golf links In addition to those new In use, im proved baths and other facilities for an up-to-date resort. The golf enthusiasts of the club are planning to continue their activity during the cooler weather of autumn, despite the established Lincoln precedent of placing the paraphernalia for the game In storage at the first sign of frost. Getting; Line I'nder Way. The line of the lnteruroan line Is nearly completed from Bethany to Twenty-seventh street. Manager E. C. Hurd has been in vestigating the possibilities of the gasoline motor cars which have been creating such a stir in transportation circles, but he Is not yet convinced that they will entirely supersede tne electric cars. He will go east again In a few days to make arrange ments for equipment. It Is now stated that the new line may Install a switch to connect with the Lin coln Traction company's lines at Twenty seventh street 'o take the cars down town under a traffic arrangement. It Is Inti mated that this arrangement may be the precursor of seme agreement which will keep the new line from playing a part in the transportation of the Lincoln local traffic. HOMER ROAD FRANCHISE DIES Time Granted for Completion Expires Before Panda Are Found. DAKOTA CITT. Neb.. Oct. 1. (Special.) Midnight Saturday marked the expiration of the franchioe granted the Sioux City, Homer & Southern railway company by tho Board of County Commissioners for the purpose of establishing a street car line be tween South Sioux City and Homer via this place. On March 30, 1903, the Board of County Commissioners granted right-of-way along the highway to the proposed line, giving the company eighteen months In which to Install and operate the line. Dur ing that year some work was done on the line and during the summer of 1904 the grade was completed nearly the entire way from South Sioux City to Homer and ties and rails were laid from South Sioux City to a point about a mile west of this place. During the month of October last year a gasoline propelled car was Installed on the line and after several weeks' futile efforts In trying to establish passenger service. It waa abandoned. On October 22. 1904, Cap tain R. A. Talbot, promoter of the road, appeared again before th Board "of County Commissioners and, asked to have an exten sion of the time In which' to establish serv ice, which was granted the franchise be ing continued until September 30, 1905. At the time the first franchise was granted J. 8. Lawrence, representing1 the. BloUr City Traction company, appeared before the board and asked that his Company also be granted a franchise and that the first com pany to have a line Into Dakota City be recognized as that holding the franchise. This the commissioner failed to grant. Mr. Lawrence offered the further proposition on behalf of his company that upon the ex piration of Captain Talbot' franchise his company be given thirty days In which to extend It line to Dakota City, but this also was refused. Now the Sloux City, Honier & Southern railway has held a fran chise for over two and one-half years and Dakota City seems no nearer rapid transit connection with Sloux City than It was a decade ago. The county commissioners meet on Tuesday, when the matter will probably come up for action again. It I doubtful If another extension will be granted the Sloux City, Homer ft Southern .uuijaujr unmi iney can mage a snowing sufficient to prove beyond doubt that they nave in mean at their disposal to com plete the work undertaken. There I strong tain ir the commissioners should extend the franchise of taking the matter Into the court. Fusion In Sheridan Coanty. RUSHVILLE. Neb., Oct. 1. (Special.)

The populist met In the opera house and had a pretty fair delegation present, but the dem ocrats were a mere handful who met in the hoe house.

WYOMING STATE FAIR OPENING Blar Exhibition Begins Tuesday and Will Last Fire Days. DOUGLAS, Wyo., Oct. l.-(Special.) Everything I now set for the big state fair which opens here next Tuesday and which will continue for five days.

At first I noticed no bad effect from the Indulgence, but In course of time found that various troubles were coming upon me. "Palpitation of the heart took unto Itself sick and nervous headache, kidney troubles followed and eventually my stomach be came so deranged that even a light meal caused me serious distress. "Our physician' prescription failed to help me and then I dosed myself with pat ent medicines till I was thoroughly dis gusted and hopeless. "Finally I began to suspect that coffee was the cause of, my trouble. I expert mented by leaving It off. except for one mall cup at breakfast. This helped some, but did not altogether relieve my distress. It satisfied me, however, that I was on the right track. "So I gave up the old kind of coffee alto gether and began to use Postum Food Cof fee. In ten days I found myself greatly improved, my nerves steady, my head clear, my kidney working better and better, my heart' action rapidly improving, my appe tite Improved and the ability to eat a hearty meal without subsequent suffering restored to m And this condition remain. "Leaving off coffee and using Postum did this, with no help from drugs, as I aban doned the use of medicine when I began to us the food coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There a reason. Read the little book. "The Road to Well vllle," In each package. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Lease oa City Hall Building Hear Its Tim of Expiration. ONLY ONE-YEAR CONTRACT COMING No Prospects Now of Getting; Plans Shaped for New Bnlldlnsj (4o a to Avoid at Least Year' Lease. It will soon be time for the mayor and city council to enter Into another lease for a year with George A Co. for the build ing now occupied as a city hall. The present lease expires on December 1 and the understanding Is that a lease for only one year will be entered Into. Since the city ha occupied the present quarters a monthly rental of IT145 has been paid. This Includes heat, but the city pays for Its lights and Janitor service. While the present quarters are not large enough, there Is no other building available at this time and so the city cannot better Itself by making a- move. One feature to be brought out In the new lease Is the better heating of the building. Every winter since the city has occupied the building complaints have been made about the low pressure In the boiler. On extremely cold nights the prisoners In the Jail suffer a great deal, and even the cold days the city officials shiver around. The agents of the building are to be requested to have the boiler .overhauled and put a competent man on duty as fireman so that steam can be kept up In cold weather. While the vault room Is not nearly large enough there is no possibility of any steps being taken to have another vault built as the present city officials are con tinually In hopes that the city hall bond proposition will finally wind Its way through the courts and permit the Issuing of bonds for a city hall building. Even If the bonds could be sold at present a new building would scarcely be ready for occupancy Inside of a year. From present Indications there Is no hope of getting this matter settled for some months and so It will be necessary to enter Into an other lease for the present quarters. Improvement Clnb Meeting;. ffuesday evening the N Street Improve ment club will meet at Twenty-sixth and N street to discuss plans for improving the property on N street from Twenty fourth street west to the tracks. Mem bers of this club particularly desire that the gates across the tracks be kept open a portion of the day so that business will not be driven entirely out of the block from Twenty-sixth street west. An ef fort will be made to Induce the city council to present a request to tho man agement of the Stock Yards company and to the Union Pacific to hav the gate opened. it Is hardly thought that such a peti tion will be of any use as the agreement between the railroads and the city when the O street viaduct was built was that the tracks should be fenced and that traffic to and from the stock yards should be diverted to the new viaduct. The object of fencLng the track Is to keep those not employed by the railroads off the tracks and thus prevent accidents, as far as possible. Railroad officials declare that the build ing of a passenger station on Twenty seventh street between M and N streets and the construction of a large freight depot on Railroad avenue south of N street will tend ; to build up lower N street. City Council Tonight. This evening the city council will, meet In regular monthly ' session. The sewer bpnd ordinance Is due for a second reading and the appropriation sheet for September Is to bo considered. It is hardly probable that any action will be taken In regard to the pay of registrars until the county commissioners take some steps in the matter. One question to come up will be the renewal of the lease on the ground where the Brown " Park fire company is stationed. There was some talk at one time of the city purchasing a lot and mov ing the building but the matter has been delayed sd long that more than likely another lease for a year will be agreed upon. There will be the usual amount of routine business to be gone through with but nothing of very great Importance is expected to come up. Cardinal Club Dance.

The evidence showed that King was advancing toward Lee at the time the latter fired; also that King had threatened Left on numerous occasions. SERVIANS DISLIKE PRINCE Heir to Throne Show Himself Lost to All Sense of Decency. BELGRADE, Oct. 1. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Another revolution Is due In Servla. And this time the revolution Is predicted not because of the fact that King Peter came to the throne by a dastardly crime, though that may figure In the equation, not because he is personally un popular, though It is not too much to say that he is even more unpopular than his Immediate predecessor, whose entire house was wiped out to make way for the present occupant, but it Is the spirits of his suo cessor, not the spirits of a long line of predecessors which give promise of rock ing the Servian throne within the next few months. The crown prince. George, has Just cele brated his coming of. age. And now that he Is old enough to really rule the people are beginning to fear this possibility as they fear the possibility of death. If Prince George were the son of poor parents In any English speaking community on earth lie would have been placed In a reform school long before this. But, un- 1 fortunately, there are no reformatories for royal princes. His promotion on hi birthday to the rank of lieutenant In the Servian army waa the utmost that his long-suffering father dare do In the way of teaching hi son the responsibilities of his position by giv ing his son a little responsibility to start with. The army throughout regards Prince George a a hopeless "enfant terrible," though it Is willing to admit his splendid horsemanship and marksmanship. As to his love of horses he has already Intimated his Intention of starting a racing stable as soon as he comes of age. His royal father la still holding the purse strings with a firm hand, but the youthful lover of sports has announced that If he Is not allowed the fund he will lend his name to any stable In Europe and even In Great Britain and If that will not do he will have horses raced In America in hi name. Though he ride his horses to death he does not find the pace sufficiently hot, however, and against his father's ex press wishes he has announced his Inten tion of buying a powerful motor car. When some time ago King Peter In structed Major Levastteur to take charge of his son as tutor, he said to the major: "The education of my son is confided to you. You must first make a man of him. then a good soldier and finally a king. Rely at all times upon my assistance." Major Levasseur has failed, and so has King Peter, for that matter. But the double failure has not been because the king has not backed up his servant In ac cordance with his promises, for one occasion, at any rate, has been recorded when the king thrashed his son with the universal implement of youthful correction a strap. Last July the major retired from his tutorship, declaring that he found It a little too exciting. Just before that date another mad gallop ended In the tutor falling from his horse and again Injuring himself. This escapade was followed by a fencing bout, In which the prince dis abled his tutor; and when, despite the major's condition, the prince Insisted upon the fight being continued, the following day the tutor handed In his resignation to King Peter. The record of this royal Hooligan would fill columns. Only a few months ago he shot a young Macedonian whom he met and quarreled, with while on an excursion with his tutor. This was only one of sev eral similar accidents which have been diplomatically smothered under the de scription of "unfortunate accidents." But it Is not mere youthful spirits which have stirred the resentment of the Servians. Harum-scarum youth always has its ad mirers. Prince Hal was loved by more than Falstaff and If mere Irresponsibility were the sum total of the offenses of Prlnco Oeorge the streets of Belgrade would prob ably be filled today with his shouting ad mirer. But the assault on the convent of the Blessed Trinity, outside Belgrade, proved that the crown prince wa lost to all sense of decency and shame, and that his of fenses are quite outside tne catalogue or the unforgivable. With three companions he drove from the Cafe de Paris in the small hours of the morning, battered in the convent wicket, gate, ran a sword through the body of the faithful watchdog and then, as they started on a tour of the cloisters, they were suddenly confronted by the mother superior. Then they seem to have been brought to their senses, for they got no farther. But this sacrilege raised the greatest Indigna tion among the Intensely religious people of Servla, and the Insult will not soon he forgotten or forgiven. The convent ha since been reconsecrated by the metropoli tan. The prince ha been turned outside the door of the principal music hall of Bel grade for flinging champagne bottle at the leader of the orchestra and for mounting the stage and publicly making love to Mme. Beyla, a favorite performer of the Servian capital. He has contracted a bogus secret mar riage with a beautiful girl, the daughter of general, three of the friends of the prince masquerading as priests and witnesses. So little does Servla want to see Prince George ever reach the throne "that at his father's coronation banquet a toast was aa- clalmed with tremendous enthusiasm which expressed a wish that the crown should "pass to the head of the ablest member of your family," the ablest member being by common consent any one except Crown Prince George, He has already weakened the hold of the dynasty on the throne, and even If a revolution does not break out be fore the death of King Peter It Is safe to say that a revolution immediately succeed ing his death will prevent the crown prince from ever mounting the throne. The crown prince is fairly tall, well built and has rather a handsome face. He spent his younger day In the Czar Alexander'i Military School for Cadets In St. Peters burg. living under the eye of his aunt, Princess Anastasle. But neither the strict regime of this military school, the super vision of the czar himself nor that of 'his aunt had any effect la teaching him self discipline. The people of Belgrade are already talk ing of presenting a petition to King Peter, urging him to arrange the succession so that there will not be a possibility of the crown pilnce succeeding xhlm after bis death.

GOOD CLASS OF RECRUITS HARD TO GET Enlisted Men Deposit Million aad Half Dollars with Pay Officials Durlnsr the Last i Year. WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-The report of Francis A. S Dodge, the paymaster gen eral of the army, for the last fiscal year, points out that the enlisted men have now every chance to put away money for their own savings by the deposit system which guarantees them absolute safety. During the year the amount deposited by the men was $1,531,020, making the total amount since the establishment of the system, $2, 294,326. General Dodge states that the present law against permanent appointments in the staff corps and departments will result In course of time In all the grades In the pay department being filled by officers de tailed from the line. He recommends that the law be amended so as to limit details to vacancies occurring In the grade of captain for which captains of the line should be selected as now and that all grades above captain should be made per manent appointment. The amount expended account of the pay of army during the year was t31.IHSl.132. The last complete pay schedule for the army. was passed by congress thirty-five years ago And the report contends that It is not sufficient for the demands of our times. The fact that the army Is un derpaid, the reports adds, makes It Im possible to get recruits out of such classes a? might be wished. That economy has been the watchword for the army for the last twenty years. General Dodge says. Is shown by the fact that whereas the cost per capita for officers and men In 1876 was $992, It was during this year, $987. Jusserand at White Honse.
