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"

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

HERRING ON ARCHITECTURE
first I-eetere of People's Institute
Ooorso proree Most
Satisfactory.
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,

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.

GREATLY NEEDED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY

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.

association for the purpose ot giving shows
were discussed last night at the regular
monthly meeting of Omaha and Council
Bluffs florUts, with about fifteen In attend
ance. Manager tmian or me Annum mm
was present and told how the Kansas City
flower shows are conducted. He told thorn
Omaha could support and ought tp have a
flower show' and assured there of the sup
port of the Auditorium people. The general
opinion was expressed that Omaha can
give a better show than Kansas City, hav
ing larger greenhouses and more of them.

the expenses of the show and that $2,000 or
$3,000 ought to be raised by subscription for
premiums. Mr. uiuau saia Mr. Murray

told him they would exhibit In Omaha, and

WOMAN U CLUB AND CHARITY
At a meeting of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union Wednesday it was de
cided to secure Clinton N. Howard for a
temperance lecture In Omaha some time
before tho spring election If possible.
Twenty-five dollurs Was voted to1 be given
to the Civic Federrtllon with a letter ex
pressing the appreciation of the union for
the work for Sunday closing of saloons.
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."
Whilo the trulisportatlon committee of
the Woman's club has not yet announced

will be one. of them. This will be a nine
days' trip from St. Paul, through the park

Eight I'nited 8tates senators are vigor
ously opposing the pure food bill now be
fore congress. H would be Interesting to
know ' Just what tho club women of the
states that these men represent are doing.
To he sure there la not very much that
these women can do, but It Is safe to ven
ture that they are at least expressing their
disapproval. Concerning the need of na
tional ' legislation against the wholesale
food adulteration the Boston Transcript
says:'
Lucky Is ' the family nowadays whose
members all esenpe appendicitis, for thla
dread scourge, strikes young and old alike.
The reason for Its prevalence Is claimed
by many physicians innd there Is a grow
ing conviction generally to .confirm thin
medical opinion) to be due to the adultera
tion of foods, the poisonous Ingredients
which are Introduced into so many fond
products to cheapen their manufacture and
enrich the manufacturers at the expense
of public health. And yet the pure food
bill which aims to protect food consumers
which means all of us by labelling openly
those food products that contain adultera
tion. Is being vigorously opposed by eight
senators on one pretext or another. .
