Police Magistrate Berks had to hang out
the "Standing Room Only" sign Monday
morning, as the bill offered before the peo
ple's bar was such as to draw a largo
crowd. The audience was most cosmopol
itan in Its make-up. there being present pen.
pie of all nationalities and stations in life.
There was a full complement of colored
waiters from s. local hotel to answer the
charge of gambling and there was a goodly
representation of Omaha's musical talent
to hear the Syjnons wife abandonment
case, which was not heard. The program
offered was botli lengthy and varied.
F.vldently Charles Mlnimaugh of South
Omaha has not learned the lesson that It Is
not wise to look a gift cow in the teeth.
Sunday evening Mr. Mimniaugh called nt
the city Jail and asked for bed and boa id
for the night. The Mngic City citizen said
he had been caught on the wrong side of
the market, had fallen several stories,
financially, and was out of that commodity
known as cash. So the desk sergeant as
signed Mr. Mimmaugh to a bench in the
jail hall, lather than place the man with
tho prisoners, and then had the Jail cook
get something to eat for the wayfarer, al
though the time for the regular evening
meal had long since past and the Jail dishes i
had all been washed. The Jail cook laid
down a sofa pillow she was working on to
get a meal for Miinmaugli.
A few minutes after Mlminuiigh hud been
served with the meal a terrible racket was
heard in the Jail hall. At first the enpttain
thought Boston Green was having a night
mare, but on investigation it was learned .'
Mint Mltnniniigh was venting his wratl on
the Jail attaches In general and the culinary
department in particular.
Captain Haze walked into the hall in his
usual nonchalant manneu and inquired as
to the noise.
"I say. enp'n, is this de best grub dcy
serve here? Dey must tink I'm a horse. I
don't like do surroundings nt dls lintel any
way," said Mimmaugh to Captain Haze.
Mimmaugh emphasized his remarks by
throwing his; meal around the hall.
"Take this man inside, give him the best
room in the house and see he gets a por
terhouse steak with miishruoms. ' said
Captain Haze to Desk Sergeant Havey.
Minuiiaugli was taken inside and charged
with drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

Monday morning.
John Dough of Avery, Neb., arraigned in
police court on the charge of drunkenness
and trying to kill a den of blue snakes
with pink eyes at Fifteenth and Faniain
streets Sunday evening, imagined himself
to be a fan ous animal trainer, when Ser
geant Slgwart and Patrolmen McCarthy
and Ryan gathered the Avery toreador in
their arms. Dough thought he was com
manding a herd of pink elephants and
bright-hued horses when arrested. He also
thought he had been assigned to drive all .
the snakes out of Omaha and was about to
do so when his anions attracted attention, j
At tho city Jail he declared Omaha had I
more snakes than any city lie ver visited.
Mr. Dough was sentenced to three days
by tho police Judge. '
Charles Schnaubcr, keeper of a saloon at
Thirteenth and Douglas streets, was the
most generous contributor Monday morn
ing io iue support oi me people s oar. j
Schnaubcr was arrested between Sunday j
midnight and 4 o'clock Monday morning
by Patrolman Brown on the charge of
keeping his saloon open between the hours
of midnight and 4 . in. When arraigned
Schnaubcr pleaded guilty and was fined

WORK OF ART, SAYS LATENSER
Panorama of llniaba Is Pronounced
Magnificent Revelation br
John .aitenser.
Speaking of the great painting of
Omaha which The Bee will present to Its
readers New Year, John I-atenser, archi
tect, said:
"1 have watched the panorama while the
artist was at work and I have . seen it
in its finished state and I consider it a
t work of srt by which the srtlst presents
I the city in Its true atmorphere. By that I
j mean that In looking nt the magnificent
I panorama you see the city as it Is truly a
home city on tha border of the rolling hills
j of beautiful Nebraska.
I "The panoiama is wonderfully exact In
j technical execution and The Bee deserves
great credit for backing such an enterprise.
Few cities huve been as well represented
by a panorama as Omaha. To those who
live in Nebraska and the surrounding
states who have never had an opportunity
of seeing Omaha this picture will he a

Definite plans for the Chiistnta tele

hot been concluded as yet. but the middle
of the week will find all uiTiingetuenis
made. Miss Magee has given out a great,
dml of clothing among the families lepie
settled In the mission i Ihshs that has en
abled many to attend school regularly and
in comfort. The Industrial and temperance
elas.'s ate all largely attended and I he
mother' meetings attract women from nil ;
over the east end of the city. Miss Magee J
has as yet been unable tn secure definite
support for tills workfl, but has kept ii up ;
as best she could. i
Mrs. Maty I' Wo.nl, In charge vf the
General Federation bureau of Infoi mattnn,
makes the following announcement in The
Northern: "Some recent additions hnvc
been made to the outlines In the office of
the bureau of Information. These cover tt
large number of literary, scientific and so
ciological subjects and are furnished from
the most authoritative sources. These new
acquisitions give to the bureau upward of
tn different outlines for study, covering a
wonderful range of choice or for clubs that
are seeking programs for another year.
The bureau Is also preparing, with the ad
vice nf Mrs. Decker, s list of questions
which will be sent to each club with a
view to collecting more aeonrats statistics
regarding tho club women of the country
than has hitherto been obtained. The club
women are making use of the bureau In
a most gratifying ninnner and the enter
prise seems to be fast making a place for
Itself."
A Chicago elulj is ndvocuting a novel
plan for overcoming vandalism among
boys. It has been estimated that it cost
the city over 10.(KiO to replace windows
broken In the school houses of Chicago
during tho summer vacation by boys. It
is estimated that this mischief Is done by
boys who generally need t lie attention of
the compulsory education department dur
ing school months and who, during the
summer, free from this restraint, commit
nil sorts of depredations. The club women
have nuggpstcd that these boys, together
with all the boys of the school, be organ
ized into brigades with elected officers for
the protection of the school and school
property. The officers will lie responsible
lo the school principals for the preserva
tion of school property, and will report to
Ihcni at regular intervals. It is thought
that this plan will not only afford effective
protection to school property, but will de
velop a civic pride among the boys that
will bear other fruits. It has been sug
gested that the organizations bo called
civic pride brigades. This same plan,
though on a smaller scale, bus been prac
ticed lu several Otnuha schools for a num
ber of years and with excellent results.
Finally the boys of the seventh grade have
served as chiefs of lookout committees that
have included all the other boys of the
school. They have not only guarded the
building, but the flower beds and the glass
plots in the school yards ns well.
An important conference for school im
provement was held recently at Knoxvllle.
Tenn., at which it was decided to under
take the formation of a southern Interstate
women's organization for the betterment of
the public school.-' of the south. A commit
tee was appointed representing each state
sending a delegate to the Southern Summer
School conference and Mrs. Lindsay Pat
terson, president of the North Carolina Fed
eration, was elocted president of the organi
zation. Each member of the committee
becomes president of her own state or
ganization and as most of the members are
prominent In the club work of their re
spective states the working force of the
association Is assured. Kaeh state chair
man Is responsible for the organization of
the work In her dirtrlct und will report
back to the central committee. "It may
not be all that we want to do," said Mrs.
Patterson In her address, "but only what
busy women ran find time to do between
times." And experlenco has demonstrated
that It Is the busy club woman who ac
complishes most.
Mrs. Patterson's account of the prog
ress of this same work in her own state
since its establishment In 1902 was en
couraging even to those from the most
disorganized sections. For the 8.000 chil
dren of school nge in one county there
were seventy schools; 4.000 were enrolled,
and of these less than 3.0o0 attended reg
ularly. This wns due to the ignorance
of parents or the indifference of com
mittee men. Six schools out of the lot
had llhraries and three hud insps. "One
month," she continued, "we drove 250 miles
visiting thlrty-fonr schools, visiting teach
ers' Institutes, committee men and talk
ing to teachers, pupils and parents, trying
to Impress upon .tit the necessity of regular
and full attendance, clean school house
blackboards, maps, attractive rooms and
well kept grounds. Thirty-two of the
thirty-four promised Improvement In houses
and grounds, thus to win the set of pic
tures promised by the Youth's Companion
to any school so doing. A great many
pet to work to get smnll libraries and en
tertainments, lawn parties, errands, chores
and anything else that would bring in
money became generally popular." And
this story is unly a repetition of what is
told over and over sgain at state federa
tion meetings every year. This Is "club
work" and the branch to which club women
have been and are slill giving soma of
their best effort.

WASHINGTON. Pec. pi. The Vepol t of
Colonel o. W. Gorgas of the Panama ohiihI
rone for October shows hrep cases of yel
low fever during the month, which, be t-as.
indicates the early disappearance, of the
disease, only one ciiso was an einploj r of
the commission.
Colonel Goigas states ti nt Panama hm
often been free from yellow fever, but the
only disappearance was when they had no
nonimmunes to contract It. Pining Oc
tober, he says, they bed all the natural
conditions favorable fur yellow fever and
a larger numN-r of nonimmune probably
than had ever before been on the isthmus,
with a wet and hot month.
The American force reached its maximum,
about 22,0un, of which number alsnit 4.000
are nonimmunes, among whom was only
one case of yellow fever and not a slui.ie
death. The report sas thai with 22.'VW
men there, the sick rate is twenty-one per
thousand.
Colonel Gorgas points out thai when the
sanitary Improvement in progress, including
street paving in Panama and Colon, water
works In Panama. Colon and along the
line, and comfortable screened buildings
lor the employes at all points, are com
pleted, the health conditions will be still
further improved, but states that lv Is in
clined to think that the sanitary question
of Panama has been settled, us has been
shown, he adds, by the fact that a force
of laborers as large as there ever will be
can work on the isthmus without suffering
from yellow fever, and that the general
health of this same force can he kept as
good as If they were digging a canal In a
healthy part of the Fnlted States proper.

"The sanitary conditions at the canal
