enough and reports from the mines are
to the etreet that cars for the hauling
of r-nal cannot be secured."
Another dealer said there was an

coal were shoved off on sidings to wait

While the crowdd condition of the yards
In flouth. Omaha has been relieved to some
extent, there still remains on tracks in the
vicinity of this city a large number of
his of coal and merchandise which Is
bndly wanted st this time. Local dealers
are hopeful the cold weather will hold off
for a couple of weeks yet In order to give
the railroads a, chance to get the coat now
In transit to Its destination. Complaints
are made to the railroad offices every day
about the rapidly growing scarcity of coal
and promises are freely made to rush ship

Orders Construction Paahed.
Ilcfore leaving for the west Oeneral Man
ager Moliler of the Union Pacific ordered
Acting Engineer Huntley to puHh the con
trucllon of (he viaduct across the tracks
at U, street. Surveyors started to work

stopped by the rain. It Is the Intention of
l V, m t'nfnn T r 1 M r t rt hav this hrlriirp
opened for travel Just as soon as possible
next year. As for the building of a viaduct
'tcross the tracks at F street, Mr. Mohler
stated to Councilman Adklns a day or two
ago that this bridge would be built Just as
soon as he company got Its tracks In the
northern portion of the city straightened
out. Mr. Adklns Infers that work on the F
street viaduct Is to be started early In the
xprlng.
Imposes Heavy Flats.
Act ins' I'ollce Judge McKay Is certainly
proving himself a. terror . to evil doers. In
the nine days he has been on tho bench
he has Imposed fines amounting to 1209 and
i he best of It Is he has collected the money.
Judge McKay Is particularly hard on row
lies and those who create disturbances. It
lakes a pretty good talk to get away
from a fine or Jail sentence when ar
ittlKiird.lt! police xourt . these days. The
police r-re, pleased at the assistance Judge
McKay Is giving them in maintaining
nrdef' In the city.
" Cairh Basins Need tleanlsg.
Quite a . number of catch basins In the

oinlderahle velocity. The catch basins at
Twentv-alxth and N streets did not carry

Kaln Utops''ork.
Thursday's heavy rain put a stop to out
nf door work. It was with a great deal
of regret the contractors on the Twenty
fourth street paving laid the men off for
the day. as the work Is progressing so
nicely. Kvery day counts now and an
pffort Is being mnde .to get Twenty-fourth
Mireet paved on the east side from A to O
treets brfore cold weather. Workmen em
ployed on the I'nlon PacMc depots were
compelled to quit early In the day and
i-ven the street force was given a holiday.
All of the unpaved streets are again in
iwd condition on account of mud, but no
bad washouts were reported. On account
of the rain considerable of the work Just
completed by te city road machine will
have to be done over again.

POLICE SURGEONS KEPT BUSY
t'aasaal a inker of Accidents for One
Evening-, One of Them
erlons.
The woes of the Inebriates were more in
evidence last night than for some time.
Among about twenty cases of arrest for
drunkenness nearly half had the mark of
recent misfortune stamped on their woe
ful countenances. Blood flowed freely in
every quarter of the city Jail. One man
had fallen into an elevator shaft and
bruised himself and turned his ankle. An
other had his face peeled in every direction,
with his flattened nose for a center. One
who hose the pious-sounding name of John
Wesley, from Esgle. Neb., was thrown out
of a saloon at Ninth and Douglas streets,
where he managed to sit down on the curb
stone with such precisions as to nearly un
couple his dorsal vertebrae. As It was he
said his back wss about three inches too
short. He was carried to Us rell. He said
they had dopen him "down the line" and
had taken $."0 of his money. "Never mind."
he said; "I'll soon get It back. I'm going
to get 1, Roll out of this town for hurting
my bark."
Kugene Plckard of Alliance, in his wan
derings wallowed Into the mud on the
brink of the Brandcls excavation between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth on Douglas.
There he got stuck like a venturesome fly
in a plate of molasses and could not extri
cate himself. When he was found by the
officers he was half burled, within a foot
of the brink, with a fall of twenty to
thirty feet Imminent.
John Baker ran amuck In the 8tars and
Stripes saloon, 1302 Douglas. It appears
that he had been asleep and was taken
with ajreniy of anger when he was roused
up. He slezed a chair and literally cleaned
out the place. He broke four chairs In
succession trying to knock the bartender
out of a corner, and Anally the latter had
to fly for his life, and saved It. In all prob
ability, by diving out through the glass of
the back door. Baker then is said to have
paraded the street with a chair leg in each
hand until the police patrol became too
many for him. He was charged with being
drunk and disorderly.
The most serious of all was the Injuries
that Tom Baty received at Sixteenth and
Davenport. This occurred at 6:46 p. m.
When he reached the curb at Sixteenth he
fell over backwards, striking with great
force on the back of his head. Blood flowed
In streams from his nose, mouth and ears.
There was a dent In the back of his head
and later It appeared likely there was a
fracture of the skull. Police Surgeon Lang
don attended him at the city Jail, where It
took the combined efforts of the doctor and
two officers at times to control the man's
aimless struggles. He was partly conscious
for a few moments at a time and then he
aimed vicious blows at the attendants. Dr.
Arnold came to help on the case and Baty
was ordered to the Clarkson at 7:40. ' It
was the opinion that the man was in a
very serious condition. The hospital phy
slclan said there was no fracture, but that
the man was seriously Injured.
Another . accident was the Injuries re
ceived by K. W. Tygh, 2375 Walnut street.
As he was driving home at 8:30 o'clock
last night, going west on the north side of
Leavenworth, at the Junction of Georgia
venue he suddenly pulled over to the south
side of the street, or attempted to do so,
when-he was struck by a westbound Hans.
com park car. His buggy was demolished
and he was thrown to the pavement and
bruised and scratched about the face. The
horse ran away and was later caught and
taken to A. 8tuben's livery barn. The po
lice patrol and surgeons took the injured
man to his home In Sheeley, where he was
left In the care of the family physician,
Dr. Clark. It Is not believed his Injuries
are any more than superficial.
FOSTER ON JXJRA SESSION
Donalae Member Thinks Leglslatare
Onght to Be Convened
This Winter.
Touching the proposed extra session of
the state legislature. Dr. H. A. Foster, one
of the house members from Douglas county,
said:
"In regard to an extra session, as out
lined In The Ilec, I think it should be
called. The revenue from the investment
of state school funds in better paying se
curities alone would. mean more than five
times the cimt of I he ai-ualon 'i'h i..
of the number of supreme Judges is an
absolute necessity, along with an increase
of salaries of stale officers and other
changes, too numerous to mention, made
necessary by the fact the state has out
grown its present constitution, which was
made to cover entirely different conditions
than now prevail.
"The legislature is composed of honorable
men. who are anxious to do the will of the
people when they can be assured what that
Is. I certainly am in favor of an extra
session.
"I doubt very seriously, however. If the
present members of the legislature will
vote to pass any rate legislation. I tried
very hard In the last session to pass a
commodity rate bill, but could not. and I
do not think the members have sluce
changed their minds on the subject."

WOMAI 11 CLUB AXD CHARITY
The Young Women's Chrlstlsn associa
tion will k"ep house Thanksgiving day
from t to in p. ni. Supper will be served
at o'clock. The evening's entertainment
has Iwvn planned by the members of the
gymnasium classes and milt consist of
games, music and readings. All young
women are Invited to attend, whether
members or not; but. In order that the
committee may make definite arrange
ments, those expecting to attend are ssked
to lesve their names at the oflVe or with
some of Ihe secretaries.
Arrangements have been completed to
open a dressmaking class at the association
the first of January. The term will ex
tend over ten weeks and will Include
plain sewing, cutting from pattern and
drafting patterns. Inquire at the office
for further particulars.
Mrs. Harriet S. MacMurphy s suggestion
that the Omaha women volunteer their
services as deputy milk Inspectors has
met with favor among many of the club
women, and it Is probable that the plan
will come up for further consideration at
the next meeting of the household eco
nomics deportment of the Women's club,
next Fridsy morning.
The National Child I-abor committee has
recently Issued In bulletin form the sd
dresses delivered at the first annual meet
ing of the committee held at New York
lsst February, and reprinted from the
proceedings as published by the American
Academy of Political and Social Science.
Most of these are for free distribution
and club women may get them by applying
to the secretary, Samuel McOine Llndssy.
125 Kast Twenty-second street, New York
City. Among those especially recommended
for use by the clubs are: "The School as
a Force Arraved Against Child Labor." by
James Klrkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt
university; "Child Iibor From the Em
ployer's Tolnt of View," by Emil O.
Hlrsch of Chicago university: "Child
Labor Legislation, a Requisite for Indus
trial Efficiency," by Jane Addams; "Child
Labor In the I'nlted States." by Felix
Adler; 'The Work of the General Feder
ation of Women's Clubs Against Child
Labor," by Mrs. A. O. Granger.
Other pamphlets deal with child labor
legislation and methods of enforcement In
different sections of the United Stales. All
were written by experts and are valuable
to those Interested In the subject.
The editor of the Household department
of the New York Post makes the follow
Ing comment on the alleged inexpensive
Christmas gift, that it worthy of the con
slderatlon of many women:
At this season of the year the Christmas
magasuies are coming out wltn the annual
articla on InexDenslve sifts for loved ones.
If you have no money for gifts you are
advised to make a rich English plum pud
ding, a fruit cake, handsomely Iced, or a
dozen small nut cakes, and send them In
lieu of other offerings. Among other gifts
which ere supposed to cost nothing, little
decorated boxes filled with nut meats, Jars
of preserves, glasses of Jelly, Jardinieres
rilled with blossoming plants, and Inverted
glass bowls under wnicn rerns are growing,
r mentioned This is trulv feminine econ
omy, and suggests a household where the
husband Is a lavish provider of everything
except money. Doubtless there are a few
women who are so spiritless as to suDnm
to such a state of affairs, but surely in
ttiia net mi led ffeneratlon the number
cannot be o great as to constitute a pub
lic. If moneyless wives ao exist as a cm,
the magazines would be better occupied In
n.,kiiiii,.ir articles nhnwlni their huabanda
the false economy they practice. The price
of a fruit cake, "richly Iced." would buy
a good book, a pair of gloves, several
handkerchiefs, or any number of similar
Christmas presents, besides saving the time
spent In baking the cake. Money is really
one of 'the cheapest commodities in the
world compared with health, strength, and
happiness.
The Chicago Woman's club Is rothtng If
not ambitious. Its latest project is the es
tablishment of a theater at which only the
classic drama shall be presented, the gen
eral aim being an elevation of the popular
taste In dramatic art. The Chicago Trib
une gives some space to the plan, quoting
Mrs. Georgo Benedict Carpenter, president
of the club, who, in her annual address
some time ago advised the establishment of
an independent theater as a fitting work for
the largest .and most progressive club In
the middle west. A number . of Chicago
university students became Interested and
a joint committee representing the club
and the university conferred with outside
Interests and definite plans resulted. At
a meeting of the club last week It was an
nounced that between 140,000 and 150,00 has
been raised toward the new home for the
club, another of Us enterprises. The site
for the building Is now under considers

The Wednesday club of St. Louis, the
