THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1906. FONTANELLES SI ILL AT SEA a, Antii Ht Tat AbU U Ifatoh ii , Mejsrtltj rigat HOPES OF PCACC ARE ENTERTAINED K r. smith Falla te Arm Pi a ' eretle Eitkiilaia by Bis Deelarattpne ate jHkMi laaa U4 Ex pert A. Members of the Fontanella club say no arrangement has yet been mad between leader of contending factions for the may oralty endorsement to break the deadlock that developed last Saturday night among the three candidates In the Held for the republican nomination Benson, Broatch and Blunders. Thursday morning Saunders men were a peaking with great confidence regarding he chances of their candidate. They as- f: f "rt that on the last ballot taken Saturday ii?M Saunders had the highest number of "( lWs and this Indicates considerable to '"thie wno hare Inside knowledge of the J situation. Their Idea Is Broatch's case Is hopeless so far as the club endorsement la concerned, and that he either will drop out or be forced out of the contest. They ex peet his strength to go to Saunders, but i1mlt even then Saunders will not have I he reaulred two-thirds majority of the Hoard of Governors present and voting. Hep far aa Agreement. In this contingency, however, the Saun ders men say another deadlock wilt ensue for a time, but that one or the other of the aspirants will step back and permit the unanimous endorsement to go to the other man. Of course the Saunders crowd declare Benson will front to the rear, while In the Benson camp the same state ments are made regarding Saunders. Both i he Saunders and Broatch factions are bit terly opposed to Benson. An incident at the last ballot taken that has escaped notice was the fact that a .lumber of votes was cant tor A. W. Jefterls. It is doubted If Mr. Jefterls seriously cort- I Riders himself as a mayoralty oanaionia, yet he admitted to a friend the other day that there was a "chance." Some of his frlenda have been trying to direct bis am l.ulon towards the city attorney's office, hut "Jeff" has not decided about this. With his partner, F. 8. Howell, as a can didate for the United State district at torneyship his own plan ax not quit clear. Smith Falls to Aroose. The announcement by Ed P. Smith of his platform aa a democratic candidate for nayor has not aroused the Interest and 1 , enthusiasm that the Jacksonlan ciuo pon- liclans expected. The Idea has been grow . lug steadily that a large part of Mr. Smith1 speech consisted of platitude, a B ... .. e . section of promises wnicn as mayor ne . would have no certainty of being able to fulfill, and the remainder so radical that !t cannot possibly receive the support of a najorlty of democratic, not to say, all of the voters.' "No on supposes for a moment that the next city council of Omaha will be demo cratic," observed a thinking politician. "It might or might not be in sympathy with the motive Of - Smith a mayor, but I political jealousy would certainly hamper efforts on their side. The mayor would have nothing to say about submitting a second telephone franchise to the voters If the council were disposed the other way. Neither could the executive erect a muni cipal ga plant. The Park board would say whether, or not public money should be spent for band musio In the parks, and the fire and polios board would bave a i word about Sunday closing. As to water ratea the city has nothing whatever to do with the question." ILER ASKS SOME ASSISTANCE ; Requests Commissioners of Sarpy and Hanalaa Conntles ta Aid Hla Promotion Scheme. Peter E. Iler had a session Thursday afternoon with the county commissioners of Douglas and Sarpy counties and County Attorney W. R. Patrick of Barpy. Mr. Her bad with him the secretary of the Lincoln A Beatrice Electric railway, E. C. Ilurd. The' object of the meeting was to '.a Ik over the cutting, tilling and diking of the road between the two counties about the point where Sarpy City Is to be built. , The site of the projected city Is rather low, and Mr. Iler proposes to erect a dam that will create a beautiful lake. In case the road Is not fixed up to a certain grade ' there might come an overflow that would do damage. Mr. Iler expressed a willing ness to contribute $tioO toward the cost of cutting and filling, which Is estimated at tt.OOO. Then he wanted to know how much the two counties would contribute, and .thought possibly the Burlington railroad could also be brought In. ... Attorney Patrick aald Barpy county is . smull and must go slow In Its expenditures because of statutory ' limitations. Ilia county commissioners agreed with him, and Douglas county commissioners Intimated that they would like to be ahown wherein the benefit was to come if they consented to spend a sum of money on the work. Mr. Iler was as delightfully optimistic aa ever. He went over the profile with an educated finger and a flow of language that held tho commissioners deeply interested. "WOULD DO NO HARM" Ta Qclt Offee, th imtw aid. An Oak Park lady writes of her coffee experiment: "I am of middle age and had been a coffee drinker all my Ufa up to I years ago when nty physical condition became so serious and medicines did so little good that I began to suspect that coffee was doing the barm. " I had gradually become very nervous, my heart grew subject to distressing- pal pitations and my mental faculties had got Into dull, torpid condition. With It all came bodily weakness that made It al most Impossible to get around. "My physician examined me and said my heart was affected. I asked him If coffee was Injurious to me and he replied that It "would do no harm, to stop drink ing' It for awhile. And ao I quit It. "But I felt very much the need of a hot beverage, and In that way came to try I "o turn Food Coffee, which I had seen advertised. I bad It prepared strictly according to the directions, and the result was a delicious, clear, drink which I found most refreshing and satisfying, with a flavor eimllar to that of the finest coffee. "I have uaed It aa my sole table drink aver since. Boon after I began to drink It my nerve . steadied down . to normal. ha heart trouble ceaaed to annoy me, and my head bad been clearer, my mentality mora active and efficient during these I yeera than ever before In my Ufe. .

Rev. II. C. Herring, D. D.. pastor of the First Congregational church, opened the en tertainment course of too People s Institute last evening before a gathering that augered well for the success oY the institute work. Dr. Herring talked on "Architecture in Omaha and Elsewhere," the sneaker's re mark being appropriately accompanied by tereoptlcon view of representative Omaha building and many of the famous struc tures of the world. The trend of Dr. Her ring's lecture was to Inculcate In the minds of hi hearers an appreciation for such building aa have these five fundamental qualities: Honesty, fitness, proportion, dura bility and adornment. The mission of the speaker's message was to raise the Ideal regarding all classes of buildings. Speaking from a world-wide viewpoint. Dr. Herring deplored that the present eco nomic conditions of the race were such as to preclude the realisation of the Ideals along building lines. "The bulk of men do not know nor care to know very much re garding buildings. Before beginning tho lecture proper I would call us all to archi tectural repentance and speak as one who feels ashamed of the many ugly buildings on all hands." began Dr. Herring. The lecturer gave an Interesting running talk Of the elaht historic tvnes of archl lecture, these being the Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, Basllican, Byxantlne, Romanesque, Gothic aad the Renaissance. By classifying the historic buildings of the world Dr. Her ring explained the evolution of architecture, PES MtTlAIS I'ROSl'K.HOie YF.AR Personal Voting; a Feat ore of Anneal j Election. The retiring trustees of the Penn Mutual Ufe Insurance company were re-elected yesterday for a term of three years. They are Atwood 8mlth, Richard S. Brock, Ben jamin Rowland, Samuel B. Stlnson, V. Beaumont Whitney, Charles D. Barney, John B. Morgan, Henry L. Davis and Charles 8. W. Packard.. While the company's annual report Is in process of compilation, it was announced that more than $i, 000,000 In new business was written during 1905, this being an In crease of (6,000,000 over 104. ' Indicative of the Interest In the conduct of all Insurance corporation since the Investi gations have been In progress, several hun dred policyholders were present at the elec tion and cast their vote. Policyholders of this city were out In force, and others wero present from Oregon, California, Washing ton, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, and from all the New England States. The company ac cepts no foreign business, consequently no stock Is held abroad. Under provision of the company's charter, policyholders are granted the privilege of voting only In person. No proxies are per. mltted. As a result there Is little proba- blllty of any person or clique getting posses sion or me management or the company a affairs. The number of votes allowed each policyholder is granted according to the amount o. premium, pa.a. aunng me year , prmTuing rnrn eteciiuii. i nis union sully protects each member of the company and further aids In preventing one-man, control. Another safeguard Is added by a rule of the company which prevents a member from obtaining a preponderance of Insurance and the accompanying voting power. The company was formed In 1847, and al though It has no capital stock, being a mutual' corporation," ttgasscts aggregate more than tfo.COO.ono and It has a surplus of more than $10,000,000. The membership of Its T board of trustee. I. not confined toVhl.u- delphia, some residing In the New England states, Maryland, Virginia ana in several western states. Secretary Kingsley, In discussing the af fairs of the corporation, said: "The officers and trustees are much pleased with the showing made by the Penn Mutual Life during the last year. The annual report will be ready for publication' within a few days. Being conservative ever since or ganization, the officers of the company feel confident the policyholders are content to go along slowly and safe, aa has been done. We are gratified with the Interest displayed by the policyholders at the election of trus- teea this, year. Nine trustees are elected each year for a term of three years. "As a compliment to the present manage, ment. It can be said that every retiring trustee was re-elected by unanimous vote. Many local policyholders did not vote, al though they take an active Interest In the corporation's affairs.' From Public Ledger of Philadelphia, January 1, 1906. Dispossessed.

AFFAIRS AT SOOTH OMAHA Police Wenderinj When Tkty Will 0 Their Premiied Patrol Wag oa. GREATLY NEEDED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY Baaar Belonging- to Captain Soot Bed and Manned by Patrolman Taken front His Beat 'When tall Cornea la. Now that the new fire hall Is about at the point of completion the police are casually Inquiring after that long promised patrol wagnn. It has been the understanding that as soon a the hall was built where a team and driver could be accommodated there would l)e a complete police patrol provided. Since It was first discussed nothing has been heard of the matter. The officers at roll call last night, many of them, thought it was about time for the Fire and Police commissioners to' take hold of the matter. It will require a week or more for consid eration, likely enough, and after that will have to be referred to the city council and the appropriation set aside. Then bids will have to be submitted and passed upon. By the time all that Is done the hall will be ready, or at least far enough along to shel ter tho newly purchased apparatus. The cost of a new and modern patrol wagon, fitted with all appliances for all emergen cies, Is about $750. The cost of two teams ta answer the calls of the service will be about Two drivers and two conductors will then be needed. The conductors could also act as emergency men. which the city needs very badly. As It Is now, when anything happens the captain must go ont and get his buggy and then skirmish around until he finds an officer on the beat to go with him before a hurry call can be made. Ty that time It often happens that the affair Is over, and the guilty have had a chance to escape. Csptaln Shields expressed himself very forcibly on the subject. He said, "You can't put It too strong. We need the wagon and need It badly. Along with the new city hall and the new fire hall this most Important Item of tho patrol should not be overlooked. Not only are we handicapped In taking the criminals, but we are often worse than useless In cases of accidents and Are. The rig we have now Is the worst In the world to take a man to a hospital." Cleans Ont Chimney. There was a fire In the residence of David Condrort, at Twentieth and J streets, yes terday afternoon about 3:30. It seems to have been caused by the burning out of a flue. The man who papered the rooms In the second story took a tin cover off a stovepipe hole In the chimney and after re moving it he papered over the hole. Tester day It was discovered that the . chimney was stopped up with soot and Mr. Condron got a lot of papers and lighted them to create heat enough so that the soot would burn out of the chimney. The chimney burned out all right, but the paper caught fire In the room above and was not discov ered until the room was ruined. Preparing; Transcript of Bonds. City Clerk Olllin and hs deputy, Mr. Roggen,' were busy most of the day yester day preparing a complete .transcript of the street Improvement bonds Issued for the mproVement of Seventeenth street from Improvement district No. 25 to J street.

There was a discussion of the work In progress at the city Jail which will make I It possible to separate the men and women prisoners, and a letter was sent to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners asking that this separation be complete. Miss Magee, city missionary, gave an in teresting review of the work at the City MISHlon during the holidays and the winter. At the mission this year $60 children shared tho Christmas celebration. Bhe reported more domands for help from the poor this winter than ever before, even though the weather has not been severe. Miss Magee made a plea for rescue work among the women of the Third ward. There Is at present no definite organized work of this kind being done. The 8nlvation Army Is taking care of many unfortunate women, but even this organisation Is not doing all that might be done. "There Is a work that no one but we women can do," she said, "and I want you all to think about this. It would require the time of one woman to carry on such a work properly and I. cannot begin to do It and carry my present work with the Industrial and tem perance clusscs at the mission."
