Relations between r-rtfiln sroups nro
airlneJ. the waters of formal friendships
ar rolled, muddy and full of the angry
irrms of rivalry, of set opinion of Jeal
oury. If you will.
The orraslnn of the ticklish tension be
tween aome of the club members relates
particularly to the office of president As
to this office one faction roes to the ex
tent of alleging, or asserting;, that the
chief engineers of the group that Is pro
jecting: president to Its own liking; has
ben busy under the surface In a faahlon
that Is akin to the "tricks that are vain"
of Tsl An, the great Chinee.
It may be stated that the by-laws of
the Field club provide for the appoint
ment of a nominating committee of five.
In October of each year, by the board of
directors. This committee of five gets
up a list of candidates to be voted for.
There Is an alternative provided for the
benefit of those who may not like the men
nominated by the committee. They can
nominate by petition, up to a certain date.
At Its session this fall the nominating
committee presented the name of J. B.
Itlunchard of 8ouh Omaha for president.
Nomination Rrlnara Rebellion.
Then there was trouble. It is charged
by th. anti-Blanchard people that the man
from South Omaha' managed matters to
cleverly that be In effect appointed the
nominating committee.
A a member of the club and chairman
of the committee on buildings and grounds,
Mr. Blanchard Is aald to have opposed the
building of the new club house and to
have been reactionary all through. The
Blanchard people say he Is Just the man
for president and that South Omaha must
be recognized as "on the map."
The antl-Blanchard members nominated
Ben T. White for president by petition,
the paper having; about four score names
attached. White was away, and the peti
tioners say this fact Inspired the Blanch
ard cohorts to write to him, advising
that he refuse to run. This Mr. White
did, as the story goes, but his declination
was not made public until It was too late
under the rules to replace him by petition.
Now a telegram comes Into the play. One
night about the ghoutly hour when the
graveyard yawns on the county haspltal
hill beyond the club house, a messenger
boy. awoke the keeper of the Field club
with a telegram for President Foster, from
Mr. White, positively saying he would re
fuse to stand for president. Mr. Foster
not being "at the club" that evening, the
telegram was brought back to town and
ho got It In the mail next morning.
Contents Known In Advance.
But before he got the mesttage Mr. Fos
ter was called up by 'phone and naked
about the telegram from Ben T. White.
He said he had received none, but the caller
told Foster, "Come off, we have a copy of
the message." "Well, that's more than 1
have." said Mr. Fouler, wonderingly. Soon
after he got the message from the east,
and now some club members Insinuate that
the declination sent by Mr. White was
written In Omaha.
The facts came to the knowledge of the
club members who do not want Blanchard
for president, and they became at once
Julius Caesars, as to color of hair. Now
they are up In golf clubs and tennis
rackets, the only weapons recoemlzed by
the Field club code. They swear by the
sacred stein and the consecrated flagon
that B'anchard shall not be president, that
White's name cannot be withdrawn at
hi time under the rules, and If It Is they
will soUc In some ballots that will be
written In blood. The Blanchard crowd
swears on the crossed battle axes of the
killing floors that their man is the only
proper president to be.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People know How laeful It Is
Preserving Health and Beast).
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realise its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the. gases and Impurities
always present In tho stomach and intes
tines and carries them out of the system.
Charcoal swtetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In tho stomach and bowels; It disin
fects the mouth and throat front the poison
e"f catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the mot for the money It. In Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges; they are composed of the
flneot powdered willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or
rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting
iuxeng, the charcoal being niixnd with
honey.
The dally use of theae losengea will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general hualth, better complexion, sweeter
bieata and purer blood, and the beauty of
It is that no possible harm can result from"
their continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
'benefits vl charcoal, sya; "I advise
Stuart a Charcoal Uenges to ail patients
suffering from gas In ttomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
the liver is greatly be.trtiied by the daily
Je of them; toty cost but twenty-live oents
a box at drug stores, and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet I believe J
got more and better charcoal In Stuart's
charcoal Losengcs than in acgr of the or
dlnary cfcarvoal ublaia."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
'.&jr loutiij HesitatM to Call iss
Meeting on Sewer Problem.
MAY BE HANDED BACK TO COUNCIL
Letter from Attorney Brognn gerres
Notice that So Delay Will Be Tol
erated by Roy P. Barton
After April 1.
Although authorized by the cfty council
to set a time and place for the holding
of a mass meeting for the discussion of the
sewer problem, Mayor Koutsky has not
taken any steps yet to follow out the re
quest of the city fathers. In speaking ef
this matter yesterday the mayor said:
"I have been busy all the week and
have not given the matter of calling a
mass meeting much thought. It Is not
Just to my liking to have the responsibility
of this affair thrown onto me. I should
dislike very much to call a maas meeting
and have the affair turn out a fizzle. Per
haps so few people would attend that no
good would be accomplished."
Continuing, the mayor said that more
than likely he would call the attention of
the council to the matter Monday night and
suggest that tho governing body make ar
rangements for a hall and set a date for
the proposed meeting.
W. P. Adklna, president of the council,
who suggested the holding of a mass
meeting, after the letter of F. A. Pro (ran
had been read, is still of the opinion that
an opportunity for an open discussion of
the question should be given the property
owners. At n, mass meeting the letter of
Mr. Brogan would be read, showing that
Guy C. Rarton will insist that steps be
taken prior to April 1 to abate the Mud
creek nuisance. No postponement of Judg
ment will be tolerated, declares Mr. Bro
gan, after Aprlll unless active work on
the building of a sewer has been commenced
and funds provided for completing the
work.
Since the sewer bonds were defeated at
the November election the question of
building a general sewer system and also
a large brick sewer to the river has been
one of the topics of discussion at every
council meeting. It seems to be the desire
of the council to have the contract now
existing between the stock yards company
and the city and the opinion of City At
torney Lambert read and discussed.
Those who have all along favored the
Issuing of bonds for the construction of a
general sewer system want a mass meet
ing called so as to place the matter before
the public and those who are opposed to
the spending of so much money on sewers
also want a chance of having their say and
assert that they will willingly attend a
mass meeting.
Since the opinion of the city attorney has
been given to the public an entirely new
light has been thrown on the contract be
tween the city and the Union Block Yards
company and the prevailing sentiment
seems to favor a meeting of taxpayers,
whero the question can be discussed.
Should the people desire the opportunity
of reconsidering the matter a special elec
tion will be held early next year In order
that steps may be taken toward the build
ing of a sewer.before April 1.
Teachers Employ Attorneys.
Miss Mattie Campbell, Miss Mary Fitz
gerald and two other teachers In the pub
lic schools have employed McCoy & Olm
steud of Omaha to look after their inter
ests before the Board of Education. When
the board meets on Monday night these
attorneys will appear and make a request
that these teachers be paid the amount of
sulary that goes with the position. Kver
since the schools opened on September 11
these teachers have declined to accept their
sulary warrant for the reason that the
warrants did not call for the full amount
and were not Issued In accordance with
a resolution adopted by the board fixing
the salaries of principals of the schools.
In case the Board of Education refuses to
straighten the matter out court proceedings
ure to bo started to compel the board to
pay the salaries that go with the posi
tions held by tho teachers In question.
Reserve Money Due.
The 10 per cent reserve on the paving of
Thirtieth street and O street fell due
yesterday and will be raid by the council
on Monday night. Parks. Johnson & Parks
paved those streets and also the alley be
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
street and N and O streets. The reserve
on Thirtieth street amounts to $2,211, on
O street the reserve Is $1,547, and on the
alley SC13. This makes a total of 13.98.1
which will go to the contractors. At the
time the reserve was held back the money
was deposited In one uf the banks at in
terest for one year. With the paying of
the reserve the paving question Is settled
as far as the contractors concerned.
On December 30 of this year Dun Hannon
will be paid the reserve on the South
Twenty-fourth street and Railroad avenue
paving. This amounts to $4.WS8. Like the
other reserve funds this amount was placed
at Interest for ono year.
Street Force Dismissed.
Saturday noon Mayor Koutsky paid the
street department force for the week and
laid off all hut two men. The week's pay
roll amounted to $17. The mayor said he
would retain Foreman Tom Irwin and one
man to use In emergency cases. The road
machine has been laid away until spring
and no more attempts will be made to
roundup the unpaved Hreets. Before the
lust rain the streets were In first-class
condition, but the freeze coming on after
a muddy spell makes all of the toads
rough and hard to travel.
F.urlKlit and Berry Bonnd Over.
Mike Enrlght and John Berry were given
a preliminary hearing In police court Sat
urday on the charge of holding up a sa
loon und drug store on Q street. Judge
King held both prisoners to the district
court and fixed the bonds at yi.ROO each.
One evening about ten days ago these men.
both ex-convlcts, entered a saloon at
Thirty-first and Q streets, and after driving
out the customers locked the bartender
and proprietor In the ire box and rifled
the till of $!.. A few minutes later the
pair held up the drug store at Thirty
sixth and Q streets and secured $7. Identl
f cation In both cases was complete, as the
robbers did not wear masks. Assists nt
County Attorney Murdock prosecuted the
caes against the two holdups and feels
confident of securing a conviction In the
criminal court.
Another Boicar Robbery.
Friday nlfht a Rock Island boxcar was
broken Into and a quantity of drugs and
candies stolen. Yesterday Captain Shields
and Detective Elsfelder arrested Harry
Clark and a couple of other colored men
and charged them with the crime. Quite
an amount of stolen property was recovered
from the place where Clark had concealed
It. The stolen property will be held by
Chief Briggs until claimed by the railroad
company. A formal complaint will be filed
on Monday against Clark and his pls.
Locating Flro flrdrants.
C. J. Collins, local superintendent of the
Omaha Water company, announced Sat
urday afternoon that work would commence
Monday morning setting fire hydrants. "We
have about twenty hydrants to locate,"
said Mr. Collins, "and these are scattered
all ovsr the city. On Monday morning
work will start at Thirty-ninth and 8
streets. We want fifty men, and those
wanting work can find employment by ap
plying to the foreman on the Job." Water
pipe and hydrants are now on hand and
It Is the Intention of the water company to
push this work as rapidly as the weather
will permit.
Christian Association Quarters.
A meeting of the directors of the South
Omaha Young Men's Christian association
will be held on Monday evening for the
purpose of completing arrangements for
the change In location. Knough money
has been pledged to pay for the contem
plated Improvements. Plans for the fitting
up of the new location at 413 North Twenty
fourth street are being pushed and It is
expected that work will commence In a
few days. The directors of the association
hope to be able to celebrate New Years In
the new quarters. Two property owners
on Twenty-fourth street refuse to sign
waivers so as to permit the association to

be compelled to construct this building of
brick.
