For comptroller, John W. Fead, bond
clerk In the city treasurer's office, and
John N. Westberg. an ex-comptroller, were
candidates. The big chiefs could not meke
up their minds to endorse Fead, becauso he
has been associated with another faction
of the party and refused to countenance
Westberg because of a record not calcu
lated to appeal to the voters. In the ab
sence of another candidate, nothing was
done.
In the three wards the chiefs were not

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Bod in Health and
, Disease,
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our moth
ers and grandmothers gave us our
dose of sulphur and molasses every spring
was uie universal spring and fall
blood purifier," tonio and cure-all and
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity
had to be taken to get any affect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects
of sulphur in a palatable, concentrated
form, so that a single grain la far in
effective than a tablespoonful of the crude
sulphur.
In recent year, research and experiment
nv proven mat the best sulphur for
medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium
tCalcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores
unaer tne name of Stuart s Calcium Wafeia
They are small chocolate-coated pellet and
contain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur In a highly concentrated, effective
jorm.
Few people are aware of the value df this
form of sulphur In restoring and maintain.
Ing bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts
directly on the liver and excretory organs
and purifies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew thin when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the cruriiiv mA im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart
Calcium Wafers Is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used. '
They are the natural antidotes for liver
and kidney troubles and curs constipation
and purify the blood in a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wtlkins. while experiments-
with sulphur remedies, soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to sny
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
end blood troubles, especially when result
ing from constipation or malaria, I have
been surprised at ths results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients
suffering from bolls and pimples and even
deep-seated carbuncles. I have repeatedly
seen them dry up and disappear In four or
live days, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is a pro
prietary article, and sold by druggists, and
for that reason - tabooed by many physi
cians, yet I know of nothing so safe and
reliable for constipation, liver and kidney
troubles, and especially In all forma of skin
disease, as this remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of pills,
cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers"
will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far
safer, more palatable and effective prepara
tion. .
OMAHA CLUB HOLDS ELECTION
Tv tWreeters Chosen, wltfc Tie
Third to Be Toted
OS.
At the annual meeting of the Omaha
club held Saturday night 128 members were
present at the banquet and voted. A. II.
Merchant and L. L. Kountxe were elected
to fill the vacancies In the board of di
rectors, but a tie resulted on the third
man, I F. Crofoot, and Frank Colpetser
receiving the same number of votes.
Considerable discussion was precipitated
on the question as to whether the stock
holders had the right under the constitu
tion of the club to suspend the bylaws and
elect a third director. The lawyers led
In the discussion, with the bankers a
close second, and one member announced
that If there was any lawyer present who
had not been heard from the meeting
should wait and give hlia a chance. It
was decided to have another meeting next
Saturday night, when one director will be
chosen from the two who were tied, L. F.
Crofoot and Frank Colpetser, and the other
candidates, F. N. Conner and H. H. Bald-
rlge.
At the conclusion of the stockholders'
meeting the board of directors met and
elected E. P. Peck, president; Victor Cald
well, vice president, and C. I Deuel secre
tary and treasurer. The retiring directors
are John 8. Brady. Harry Cartan and
Luther L. Kountxe. The report of the
club showed that every department made
money and the president's report to the
members wss:
The hoard of directors submits herewith
the annual report showing the financial
condition of the club, and presents a gen
eral statement of Its affairs for the year
ending December Jl, 1906.
i n statement snows a very satisfactory
condition of affairs, as It will be seen that
the
receipts from all sources exceeded
expenditures by $2,708.38, thus more
the
i?.WLn 2
year which was occasioned by the compUv
linn or tne addition to the club house.
It will be noted that under the headlnar
"repalrs and replacements" there was ex
pended $2. Ml. 13. This amount Includes the
cost of altering the rooms adjoining the
billiard room In the basement of the club
house, these alters tlons having been made
In accordance with wishes expressed by
many of the members.
The mortaave Indebtedness of the club
has been reduced tn $4O.0CO and It is grati
fying to know that a material reduction
In the rate of interest on the loan has
also been obtained. It Is to be hoped that
the cluh will be able to make a very con
siderable payment -upon the mortgage each
year In the future, as It practically covers
the club's Indebtedness.
The total membership of the club on De
cember 31 was 440. a net gain during the
year of six members.
PLANS OF CITY UNION WORKERS
Mis Magee Says the New Year Offers
Earora(l( Prospects,, but She.
Needs an Assistant.
The City Union of Christian Endeavor
begins this year with much encouragement.
Truvjung peoples' societies of the differ
ent churches unite In the support of the
City Tenth Street mission work. Miss
Nellie Magee, city missionary, Is employed
by them to. superintend the work among
Omaha's poor In that quarter of the city.
A debt which has for some time hung
over the union was through a united effort
under direction of Orln L. Wright, chair
man of the missionary committee, cleared
up, leaving the union free to plan for
larger things for 19W. '
The report of the mission works shows
a balance In the mission fund, the expense
of the Industrial classes provided for some
months ahead, special work begun for the
Russian Jewish children, supervised by
Mrs. Brandels and prominent Jewish
women of the city. Miss Magee regrets,
however, the Inability to secure a compe
tent assistant for the work. She says
that In Chicago and other cities those
who desire to make this work their occu-'
patlon pay 'for the opportunity to be In
structed along the very lines of work
which Is conducted at this place, but dllll-
gent search, has resulted In failure to find
anyone for the work.
Great preparatlona are being made by
the union for the, celebration of the sliver
or twenty-fifth anniversary of Christian
Endeavor on February E. It will be held
at the First Presbyterian church snd ar
rangements are being made for a banquet.
Rev. Arteas E. Kepford, field secretary of
lowa, and William C. Hardcastle. field
secretary of Nebraska, will be the guests
of honor during the evening.

rooms of the Commercial club at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening for a card party. It was
the regular monthly function of the post,
but was rendered specially significant be
cause of the greater attendance and tha
presence of the members of the newly or-

orancit was suggested but a few weeks

fair members of the traveling men s fam
ilies that about llfty charter members
were secured In short order, and the books
were kept open Saturday evening to al
low others to get on the roll.
Refreshments were served and remarks
made by a few members of the post,
among them Dr. Honiniers. the post sur

James C. Dahlman, formally announced
Saturday that he would be a candidate
for the democratic mayoralty nomination.
He said he had arrange with the ofllcers
of the National Live Stock Commission
company, of which he is assistant man
age, to devote a large part of his time to
the campaign, and at the same time keep
in touch with his business.
Mr. Dahlman was anxious to get In the
mayoralty contest from the time the com
mittee appointed at a meeting of democrats
held at the Paxton hotel early In the week
waited on him and submitted the proposi
tion. The only thing that kept htm from
making au unqualified announcement Of his
candidacy Thursday was uncertainty he felt
about arranging with his firm.
It was agreed that he should make his In
tentions definite to the committee at George
Rogers' cigar store Saturday at B o'clock.
Mr. Dahlman kept his word.
Dahlman Declares Himself.
The store was filled with democratic poli
ticians and most of the committee when
Mr. Dahlman came In. In response to a
request for a statement he said:
I shall endeavor to obtain the democratlo
nomination for mayor. I have been able
to make business arrangements which will
enable me to do this. From now on I am
In the race with all the vigor I possess.
No doubt there will be lots of fun and a
hot fight. I realised all that before I de
cided to stand as a candidate. But I am
willing to tackle whatever comes up.
Regarding my platform and the principles
for which I stand. I have only this to say:
I shall make the race for the nomination
on my record aa a democrat. I have been
a Bryan democrat ever since there was
such a thing, and have been with this
leader In all his great dents. These facts
are wen Known.
So Is mv nartv record.
U.TSS within the party. I
shall make no declaration of my attitude
on local Issues until I have received the
nomination. If I snoiild be so fortunate.
Then will be time enoirjh to come out with
a local platform. . I do not see the neces
sity for It until that time.
Democrat who are my supporters will
hold Hn organization meeting next week.
I shall rent campaign headquarters down
town and Install a manager. The most
of my time will be given over to the cam
paign until the democratic voters decide
who will be their candidate for mayor, it
Is not fully determined, but I think my
primary campaign will be carried out along
quiet, personal, lines.
Smith Men In Conference.
About the same time Mr. Dahlman was
making this statement another democratic
conforence was being held in the law offices
of T. J. Mahoney. To the majority of these
the statement of Mr. Dahlman gave much
rapture, especially the part wherein he said
he would announce no platfo- This con
ference was composed chiefly jf ardent Ed
P. Smith men, who had Just been laboring
with a small minority of Dahlman men to
produce the conviction that Dahlman
would turn out to be a candidate minus a
platform and by this token a poor candi
date The conference, called a "harmotjy"
meeting, was In reality a detailed discus
sion of the respective chances of Ed P.
Smith and James C. Dahlman to capture
the democratic nomination for mayor. Mr.
Smith, his partner, C. J. Smyth, and the
Jacksonlan bunch were there strong and
the best the Dahlman men could do In the
somewhat futile debate was to get an ad
journment for a week.
It was a bit disconcerting to them to be
met on leaving the Paxton block with the
news that Mr, Dahlman had decided to fly
his kite without a tall.
Saloon nnd Funkhouser Ellmlnuted.
At this conference opinion Was all one
way that the liquor question had been
eliminated as a vital Issue In the municipal
campaign and that, therefore. Smith's posi
tion for the strict enforcement of the Slo
cumb law will not militate either for or
against him. The line of reasoning was
based on the agreement between the brew
ers and the Civic Federation for Sunday
closing during the remainder of the year.
If the saloons are to be closed at midnight
and on Sundays, anyway, what difference
will It make. It was asked, If a mayor Is
In power pledged to close them.
As for Millard Fillmore Funkhouser, lie
was not seriously considered In the con
ference. Later he authorized the with
drawal of his name as a mayoralty candi
date. It seems that Mr. Funkhouser was
Influenced by the theory that If Mr. Dahl
man came out Mr. Smith would back up.
When Mr. Smith did not back up Mr.
Funkhouser proceeded to say that he had
anted in under a wrong and premature as
sumption. The Smith men very kindly let
him pull out, but Mr. Funkhouser attached
one . condition, namely, that he lie would
not be a candidate as long as Mr. Smith
remained in the field.
Funkheaser for Council.
To placate Funkhouser the Jacksonlan
managers have slated hlm'for the council
man nomination from the Eleventh ward,
and Mr. Funkhouser has assented to this.
The Smith people say they will begin at
once organizing their forces. The first
step w.as the selection of Warren Swltsler
j toT tne cit? attorneyship. It Is regarded
aa good as settled that he will file for this
nomination. Mr. Swltsler for some years
has been at outs with the democratic or
ganisation, but his recent training In the
Civic Federation is said to have primed
htm for a re-entry Into active politics.
How to Save Baby
From Being Sick
Ml' A MOTHER WHO KNOWS
Every mother should avoid the possi
bility of sickness befalling her children in
this season. And. of course, most mothers
do honestly try to avoid such possibilities,
but many do not appreciate the one great
essential.
Feed the little folks good, healthful,
pure, strengthening food and there need
not be any fear.
For many years physicians have pre
scribed malt, extracts, which contain a
large percentage of maltose, or malt
sugar, Malta-Vita, the crisp, delicious
whole-wheat food, contains from eight to
ten per rent of maltose.
Malta-Vita, on account of Its large per
centage of maltose. Is easily, digestible and
readily assimilated by the human economy,
forming rich healthv blood, is especially
beneficial for children and it is so good to
eat not at all like the tasteless variety of
breakfast foods that the little ones always
welome its appearance on the table.

Candidate! Ire Filing Kipidly for Pltott
on the Primary Ballot
TWO MORE DEMOCRATS OUT FOR MAYOR
Republican Aspirant for the Chief
Office Are a Little Slow About
Getting la the Running
Two Holdup Job.
The filings of Saturday brought out two
new candidates . for the office of. mayor
from the ranks of the democracy. This
puts three candidates In the field for that
position and all from that party. The new
men were Dr. Thomas H. Knsor, and what
was really a surprise to many people who
considered him out of the race, W. H.
Brennen. It bad been expected from the
first that Dr. Ensor would be a candidate,
but not many were expecting Mr. Brennen
to enter. This will make lively fighting
In the ranks of the democrat party, and
moreover It is likely that there will he
two or three others with aspirations to the
mayor's chair. As yet none of the-republican
candidates has appeared for this
office, though W. P. Adklns Is known to
Intend filing, though he has not as yet
formally presented his name as a candi
date, j
There were several filings in other offices
and among tnem appears the name of W.
C. Lambert for the office of county at
torney. As such he has his present ad
ministration to offer as his claim for public
support. Thomas W. Usee appears as
another candidate for the office of council
man In the Second ward. He allies him
self with the republican party. Charles A.
Allen, republican, files for the post of
committeeman in the First precinct of the
First ward. Another democrat, Fred H.
EfTllnger. files for councilman In the Fourth
ward. J. 8. Duff Is the only republican
so far to file for the office of tax com
missioner. W. P. Corrlgan filed for demo
cratic committeeman In the Second precinct
of the Sixth ward. William Queenan filed
for the office of tax commissioner on the
democratic ticket. He at present is a
member of the council. P. J. O'Connor
filed as democratic committeeman In the
First precinct of the Fourth ward. J.
Samuel Oosney filed for democratic honors
as councilman In the Fifth ward.
Democrats Are Organising;.
There was a meeting of democrats at
Evans' hall last night for the purpose of
effecting a permanent working organiza
tion. It Is reported that the number who
assembled was fair, but that the organi
sation was postponed for the reason that
a number of committees which were to
have reported last night were not pre
pared. One of these was the committee
on bylaws. The session adjourned without
any particular business having been trans
acted and will meet at the eall of the
temporary chairman some time within the
week, when It is likely the permanent or
ganisation will be effected.
Two Holdup Jobs.
Joe Patach was arrested last night on sus
picion, of being one of the parties who held
UP Herman Tombrlnk, jr., a boy who drives
a delivery wagon for J. Russell. This hold
up happened last night just after dark at
Sixteenth and M streets. While the boy
was making his rounds with his last deliv
ery and was on th point of returning to
the meat market he was accosted by two
men, who forced him to give up what
change he had, something over 16. As soon
as possible the boy reported the matter and
gave so good a description of his assailants
that the police soon rounded In Patach,
who lives In Brown Park. Another man
, was arrested In connection, but young Tom-
brink wss unable to identify him and he
was released. He stuck to the statement
that Patach waa one of the men. About
half the amount that he had lost was
found on tha man, and It Is supposed the
partner who made his escape has the other
half. Patach was held on suspicion, but
j will be tried for highway robbery. Patach
has a wire and family living in Brown
Park.
Jess Squires was Jailed last night for
drunkenness and disorder. He lives at 171
South Twenty-fourth street and is a
butcher. Last night he went home drunk. It
Is said, and slapped and otherwise mal
treated his wife and family- Mr. Squires
complained to the police and had him ar
rested. A second holdup job was attempted at the
drug store of H. F. I Eckerman. After
waiting on several customers about I o'clock
last night, Mr. Kckrman went down stair
to fix his furnace for the night. When he
returned, as he emerged from the basement,
he was confronted by two men with guns
who greeted him with the word. "I want
that." Not waiting to parley, Mr. Ecker-

the upper floor of the shop. As he ran up
the stairs the men shouted and fired after
him. Then they went behind the counter
and look a good revolver which had been
left there. There was no cash register, and
in the hurry of the moment the highway
men were unable to locate the cash drawer.
Several calls came In simultaneously from
the neighborhood stating that hrots hrd

got to the place as soon as they could, but
were able to do little except get a descrip

leader of the two men. The officers are
confident they know who the fellows are.
The patrolmen were all put on the watch. '

If Yon Fear Olpbthersa Beware of m
Cold.
The best authorities now agree that the
chances for contracting dlththerla are
greatly enhanced by colds. If th child
has a cold It Is much more likely to con
tract diphtheria. The same Is true of any
of the much dreaded catching diseases.
The cold prepares the system for the re
ception and development of the germs of
these diseases, that Is why one child will
contract a disease, and another exposed at
the same time will not take it. The one
that takes it, as a rule, has a cold. Even
slight colds are dangerous and should have
prompt and Intelligent attention. Whether
for a child or an adult you can find no
better preparation than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It can always be de
pended upon to effect a quick cure. There
Is no danger In giving It to children, as It .
contains no harmful drug.

No, Cascarets strengthen and stimu
late tho Bowel Muscles Instead. .
These are the Muscles that line the
Food passages and that tighten up when
Food touches them, thus driving that
Food on to its finish.
They are tho Muscles that turn Food ,
Into Strength through Nutrition.
Well, a Cascaiet acts on your Bowel
Muscles as if you had just Sawed a cord
of wood, or walked ten miles. '
That's why Cascarets are safe to take
continuously In health; and out of health.
Bepause they rnoye the Food Naturally,
digesting it without wasTo of tomorrow's
Gastric Juics. ' ' . '
They thus work ail tha Nutrition cut of
It before It decays.
The thin, flat. Ten Cent box 'is made
to fit your Vest Pocket, or "My Lady's"

Carry it constantly with you and take

things besides.
