THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 100G. Dentistry The roost frequent remark heard in a dent I office it, "Don't hurt me." Hence humanity and common sense requires the ob servance of this Injunction. I have been striving to follow It ever since I left college. My method of numbing or de sensitizing the teeth while filling puts aside the sharp, sensitive pain familiar to so many who have had teeth filled . by the old methods. Of course, if jour teeth do not hurt while they are being filled, a really painless method is of no Interest to you. I substantiate what I say In my advertisements.

Superintendent W. M. Davidson of the Omaha public schools addressed the boys' meeting at the Young Men's Christian as sociation blilldlng Sunday afternoon on jUie subject of "Opportunity." A short muxlcat program win given be fore tho address by Slmddurk's Juvenile orchestra thut was very enjoyable to the boys. Following the orchestral rendition Walter Hoffman or the Omaha High school nang as a bans solo, "Rock of Ages." The lecture room was filled with boys ap proximately of the afg'-e of 10 to 15 years and they were attentive listeners through out the proceeding. Hupcrlntendcnt Davidnon paid In part: "You do not get more out of an address than you brlnsr to It. It is merely an ex change 'of cj:perlences. Nothing Is so little thought of as udvlcc. It Is so with going to school; you get but little more out of going to school than you take to It. rri stands out before you beckoning every one to his opportunity. You go to iI-.ool for a distinct purpose: that la to know something. A second object In your idling to school Is to not only learn what to do, but to bo able to do something In life. A third purpose In going to school Is to be something. Many go to school to learn nothing; so when they go out Into Ill's they are unRble to do anything. "Make up your mind to get an education nnyway; it Is a means to enable you to do something In the world. Without It you can do nothing. There are three great essentials In boy life. They are: Be kind, be polite Hn be obedient. One la as es sential as th. other. It was Oeneral Or it's principle to be obedient, an a child, a student at West Point, as a soldier, as a general and ss a president. These char acteristics of obedience In whatever phase nf life he occupied were paramount with him." WATCHES Frefiicr. 16th and Dodge 8ts. SEASONABLE FASHIONS. NO. t.W-A SMALL. BATH ROBE.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Probablj Fatal Shooting Affray Sunday itigbt Danes. at a YOUTH WHO DID THE f HOOTING ARRESTED Those Who Failed ta Vote at I at Fall's Flection Mar Be Drilled PrlTlleare of Participating la Coming- Primaries. Joe Roebeck, a Folander llvirg at Twen ty-elghth and J streets, was shot and probably fatally wounded last night by Tom Kotlel, also a Polander, who lives at Forty-fourth and N streets. Koilel, who did the shooting. Is only sbouf 19 years of age. He was arrested and is now in the crty Jail. He confesses to doing the shoot ing. There was a danre In progress near the western limits of the city and a saloon outside the city Umlls near the scene of the dance was running wido open. Roe beck, as near as could be ascertained last night, went out to the saloon to secure the beer which was denied him by reason of the city saloons being closed up. "d while In the neighborhood visited the dance. He became Involved In a quarrel and left without his hat. He returned for this and It was then the shooting occurred. It Is stated that a woman at the dance told young Koall to shoot and the latter, se curing a shotgun, fired, the charge taking effect In the chin of Roebeck, badly lascer atlrig the lower part of the face and In flicting Injuries from which it Is thought he will die. Some Mar lie Denied Vote. The registrars selected under the new charter will sit for a revision of the poll ing Huts on the first Saturday before the special election. This election comes on February 16, in accordance with the mayor's notice and proclamation, which was pub lished Inst Friday. In that proclamation all the points considered by the mass meet ing of the citizens last month, and of Jan uary 6, 19116, were set forth. In fact, the proclamation is the same as the body of Ordinance No. 1.441. That the poll books may be In order for this election, the boards of registration will sit on Satur day, February 19. It is stated that this revision will be the only one before the primary election of March 6. A second revision will occur Just previous to the regular election. There will be some peo ple who will be greatly surprised on going to tl.s polls to vnto at the primary, to discover that they are not eligible for the simple reason that they failed to vote at the general election last fall. The law Is that any qualified voter will be barred from the primaries If his name does not appear on the poll-books of the previous regular election. If a man has come of age since the last general election then his name will be allowed to go on the revision lists and he will be qualified to vote at the primaries. It Is believed that the same will hold true of any person who has moved Into the city from some other place. He also will be registered and al lowed to vote as under the class of "new voters." The only class then who will be barred at the primaries are those who were residents of the city last fall and had the opportunity to use their franchise and for some reason failed to exercise It. I It must be understood that this does not deprive the man of his vote at the regular election of April S. A glance at the poll books of last November's election shows that the vote was much short of the full voting strength of South Omaha. There were 1,741 republicans, 1.42 democrats and about sixty socialists. This brings up .the total vote to 8.ISS, which should' have been. if It represented every qualified voter of i the city, above 4,501). Bo there are from ; 1.2C0 to MOO voters In South Omaha who 1 are barred from the primaries. Work for C'ltr Council. The principal business which is to come before the city council tonight will be to pass on the payrolls for the month of Jan- I uary. of which the itcma will include the salaries for the fire department, amounting to $810, and the police department, I1.3UO, and the salaries of the city officers and their appointees, amounting to J2.02S.3S This last Item does not include the salary of the city engineer, Herman Real. The petition ff.r the grading of V street from Twenty-sixth west to the I'nlou 1'n- clflc right-of-way will come up again lor consideration. This petition was rejected January i on the ground that the signa tures of parties who signed for the property ! on which St. Bridget's Outholie church j stands was not legally authorised. Since : that date a letter grunting the authority I has been procured from Bishop gcannell of . the Omaha diocese. Even yet the petition may not be received on tho ground that the l petition is not subject to a correction and i the whole business will have to be started : afresh The Hlghlund Tark Improvement 1 club Is anxious to see this petition go ' through and has spent much time getting it in an acceptable form. I Talk Amonar the Politicians. , I City Clerk J. J. Gillln will find the appli cation of John T. Becker, S1'J3 R street, lying on hl desk this morning as a candidate of the demrcrstlc faith for the office of Ux commissioner, subject to the choice Of the democratic party at the approaching pri- I marles. j Among the democrats it was expected ; thai tho rally of the German-American Democratic club held yesterday afternoon at their headquarters on Twenty-fouith street would lead to some developments of a plsn by which a candidate could be i brought Into the field for the office of city treasurer who would Imi able to hold an even race with K. L. Howe, the republican candidate. There waa a rumor out to the effect thai if F. J. Freitag came out as a candidate for mayor W. J. Brennen would ! resign In hi favor and then the democrats j would center on C. A. Melcher for the j treasury, or perhaps S. C. Bchrlgley would ; change his filing from that of councilman ; , hark to the offlce nf treasurer. But sll such j j plans went glimmering apparently, for the club adjourned yesterday afternoon without I I coming to any definite agreement. It seems j that If the proposed candidates enter the I race they will have to do it on their own re sponsibility and not depend on any or i gsnlsed support until after the registrations I close. ' I Street Cars ( olllae. There was a collision of street cars jes I terday morning at Twenty-fourth and N streets. It occurred at the switch' which i the Albright cars use in turntiig at O , street, a quarter of a block south from the corner. One of the early cars had used I the swith and naturally it remained open ntll the next Albright car came alog, hich was to go clear through. The motor- man did not notice the open switch and I just as bis car took the curve toward the I east side tracks one of the cars of the Twenty-fourth street line was coming down ' the grade In the opposite direction. A cot j Ilsion waa the result which did consider- ' m Aammmm In the front en.l nf the At. bright car and knocked several window lights out of both. Luckily neither of the cars waa crowded at that hour of the morning. ' No one waa Injured. Freight Depot Aksil Complete. The new freight depot of the Union Pa cific Is now almost complete. Saturday tbe gravelling of the roof and the putting In or the windows was the principal work of the mechanics. The work on the new l'iM"iger U ot is not progressing so rap Idly. The malls have not been more than half completed. As soon as these buildings are complete, the old passenger station will he removed and then the tracks of the main line will bo shifted over sbout thirty feet to accommodate the new structures. At first It was proposed to b.iild In sidetracks Instead of making the necessary curve In the main line near L street, but the su perintendent said he would not have any dead tracks between the main line and the depots If It were necessary to move over loo feet. Postmaster Klter Somewhat Hetter. It Is reported from the bedside of rwt master Frederick J. Etter that he was a little Improved yesterday. Within the last two days his condition has become alarm ing. His son, Iew Etter. the assistant postmaster, has been constantly wllhln call, though he has attended to the duties of his office Insofar as It was absolutely necessary. Yesterday the doctors expressed some hope, though It was still held that the chances for recovery were sbout even. Drouth Is Rxtreme. With the second Sunday since the order for closing emanated from the brewers' as sociation. South Omaha was slmost entirely dry. That someone had something to drink Was demonstrated by the srrest of Andrew Anderson at 1:40 p. m. for Intoxi cation. It Is believed by Chief Brlggs that a little liquor was sold secretly st one or two places. He visited Barney Cogan'a saloon at 270B Q street during the after noon and discovered several men In a rear room and suspected there was llnuor be ing sold, there on the sly. Hoping to dis cover some evidence of the fact he rapped at the back door for admittance, but ap parently he did not know the signal, for no one responded. Then he kicked at te door to see If he could force It In In time to catch a glimpse of tho men who were in the place. Soon Cogan called him to the front door of the saloon and asked him what he wanted. The chief then gave him a sharp warning that any such prac tice as the secret selling of liquor must stop. He told him that the orders of the brewers stood good with the police In lieu of orders from the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, who had not seen fit to Issue stringent orders for the simple reason that the brewers had agreed to stop the ''Sunday selling on their own account. The chief intimated at the Jail afterward that these fellows who Insisted on selling on Sunday would have a hard time to get licenses In the spring when the time for renewal arrives. Inspecting- Hammond Plant. General Secretary Snow of Chicago of the National Packing compnny was in the city during the last week conferring with the local manager. Charles K. t'rquhart of the Omaha Packing company, one of the branch houses of the National. It Is un derstood that the object of the visit was to' look over the overhauling of the Ham mond plant and determine as far as pos sible what Improvements would be at tempted In the way of modern machinery. There will be a big increase in the ca pacity of the engines nnd a full set of new boilers will be set after the plans of Mr. Gardener, the engineer. It is likely that a large stack will be raised, which may be quite as great In dimensions as, Armour's. Inquest on Beckham. Coroner Brailey will hold an Inquest over the body of O. Z. Beckham, who was scalded to death last Friday night in the Burlington yards, "while in bis sent as fire man, after his engine had backed Into the first section of No. "1 standing on the tracks. On Tuesday there will be another Inquest over the body of Patrick Cahlll, who was killed by a fall from the West Q street car while crossing the viaduct Sat urday evening. The funeral arrangements have not been made for the burial of the unfortunate man. Mo a If City Gossip. Mrs. V. J. Murphy is confined with an attack of the grip. Dr. E. K Delanney has returned from a professional trip to Burwell. J. M. Fowler is able to resume his duties as jailer since his recent illness. Mrs. Ed S:iyres, sister of Mrs. Charles E.

A large number of young men attended the lecture of Dean Fordlce of the Ne braska Wcaleyan university, given at the Young Men's Christian association rooms yesterdov afternoon. They found the talk of Dr. Fordlce forceful, original and prac tical In every say. Mrs. Miller of Gretna, Neb., mother of Anthony Miller, K6 North Twenty-first street, died Sunday morning at 4 a. m.

"If you want to know tlie veal soul of a man you hsvo to see him when he's ill," says a trained nurse. "There's nothing quite so abject and pitable as the average Blck man He's a mere baby, only that a baby bears pain better than he does. I'd like to give you the name of the man I've Just been taking care of, but of course I j can't. He's a great big six-footer and he I never had a pain since he cut his teeth till i appendicitis caught lilm ubout a month ago. They brought him to a private sunltarlum I on a stretcher, and while I was getting him I ready for the surgeons his mind was about j equally divided between fear that he was ' gulnx to die and anxiety over a pasteboard j box he had with him. ' He begged me to put u somrwliere where it would be safe. I asked him what he had in it and he said It was something he'd want iu a day or two if he lived. I finally set it outside the window of his room on the ledg'. for he said it ought to be kept where it was cold. He didn't men tion It again for two days, hlo attention being otherwise engaged. The third night was windy and the box blew off the lodge. The man heard it go and rang for me. When I came in he waa lying there crying like a child. ' 'It's gone,' he blubbered. "I thought he was talking about ills ap pendix, so I said he ought to be glad it was gone, but he went on crying. " 'I wanted it,' he said. 'I could have hud it tomorrow. It's my box.' " "Well, whst did you have In it ?' I asked. "He looked at me as if he could hardly bear to speak the word and then he burst out: " 'Lady Angers: "Can you beat that? That great big fellow had brought lady fingers with him so he'd be sure to have something to eat. And, mind you. that's not all. Before the week was out he felt better and then he told me he hadn't Intended to eat the things himself, but he'd meant them aa a present for me. He actually tried to make me think he'd shed tears because I couldn't have them. I reckon If you said lady fingers to him now he'd try to fight." Washington Star." GERMANS EXPECT SOLUTION Councillor of Legation Talks of Tariff Dif ference! with United States. MARCH SEES MINIMUM DUTIES LEVIED Machinery of Settlement Moves Jlowlj hat Has Faith that nifferenrre Will Be Adjusted Satlsfue torllr to All Concerned. WASHINGTON, Jan. iS.-Baroii von Busehe-Haddenhausen, the counsellor ot the German emlwssy, In an Interview with a Post reporter today, expressed the opin ion that the tariff problem between Ger many and the I'nltod States would even tually be solved. The baron desired It un derstood he was giving his personal views and was not speaking officially. He said: "Germany and the Germans believe that although the American congress will al ways be antngonistic to a reciprocity treaty, aa past congressional action seems to show. It will find a way out of the pres ent difficulty. It must be remembered that the American congress alone Is slow If I may use that word to act, but the Reichstag and the German Senate both have their way of going about things. "Germany views the question of tariff with a sentiment purely commercial, what the Americans , would call 'business is business.' ' Asked what will be done In case the American congress falls to take action b' the first of March, when the present ar rangement between Germany and the t'nlted States terminates. Baron Hadden hausen said: "The German maximum tariff will go Into effect at once. Before one single pennv is taken off the authority of both the Ger man House and Senate is required. It is obvious, therefore, that its members will no longer stand for a condition of affairs which has given the greatest benefit to this country. They demand only equality, a guarantee that German products ex ported to America will recclvtj the same consideration as American exports to Ger many." Asked If he thought It possible that the Franco-German troubles may seriously af fect the German-American tariff, he said: "Hardly, inasmuch as the Franco-German trouble is not so very serious after all, when It Is seen from tho inside. Germany wants the open door In Morocco. Just as Vnele Sam wants It. If It cannot have It Germany will b satisfied with what It can get. provided no favoritism appears. In which case that country would naturally not like it. "In the present situation we find nothing but a keen competition, only Instead of be ing between private parties it rests In !: hands of two governments. But fortu nately there is no dinger, and there will be found a way out of the present Im broglio." TANGIER IN THE SUNLIGHT Chief City of Morocco Whither Diplo mats Are Directing Their Thoughts.

It takes the experience of residence to get below the surface of things. The streets sre even narrow; even tho rookery which rejoices In the name of "Rue Principals" is on- that a self-respecting English lane would in parts scarcely ac knowledge; but the Irregularity of the buildings, and the splashes of vivid color, give a certain ptcturesqueness to the other wise squalid surroundings. In the market square is obtained the best view of a typical Tangier crowd. All the usual adjuncts of an oriental gathering are In evidence conjurors, snake charmers, whose loathsome peis bite to draw blood from their master's tongtie; strangers from other parts of Morocco, easily distinguish able by their gay garments -and the per sonality of a separate race; Moors, strayed In from their own bazar in another quar ter, all these and many more.

The babel of voices is denfenlng. the rowd so thick that only the butting of the donkeys serves to mske narrow way for the visitor, and, overflowing every other factor, Is the stench composed of odors so multitudinous ss to be severally unidenti fied. A great variety of articles are on sule In the market, for the most part spread on the ground round the square. Beside the market and the Moorish bazar, the nar row streets abound In apologies for shops, where beads and local curios insy be picked up very cheaply by those who know the art of bargaining with colored venders. The Moors' quarter is always worth a visit; it contrasts rather strongly with sur rounding bazars, and the business of pur chase must be carried out with circum spection, for the Moor Is a prince among men of his color, and offers and expects a courtesy peculiar to himself and his race. Outside the town proper the Moorish fortress on the top of a hill. 400 feet In height, and the Court of Justice save the mark! are chief attractions. In the latter, a white, not imp-leasing building, two sides of a courtyard, a magistrate sits for cer tain hours daily.
