VETERINARY LAW HELD VOID
Statate Enacted by Last Lralslatare
Pronounced Invalid by Judge
Leslie if County Court.
The law enacted by the last legislature
to regulate veterinary surgeons Is uncon
stitutional, according to a decision rendered
by County Judge IoMie yesterday after
noon In the case of the state against Dr..
l"i. D. Turner. The case was filed by Dr.
Ramacclotti as a lest of the law. The
decision will be of interest because several
other prosecutions . hinged on the outcome
of this case. It is said It may be carried
to the supreme court fot a final test.
The law which Is declared bad provides
that.no person engaged In the practice of
veterinary surgery shall assume the title,
veterinary surgeon, or any analogous title
or any degree conferred ' by a recognized
college of veterinary surgery unless he
has first secured a license from the state
board. Tho law did not prohibit unlicensed
;urgeons from practicing, but merely pre
vented them from holding themselves out
as such or from using any title or degree
In connection with their profession.
Judge Leslie held that this was . not a
proper application -of pollco power of the
i'tate and wns an Improper abridgement
of the personal liberty of citizens. He
pointed out that the law made It a crime
for a person who was unlicensed to tell
I anotier person that he had received a de-
gree of veterinary surgeon from a college,
even though it was true. A. W. Jefferls,
who attacked the validity of the luw, also
contended It was against public policy and
Intended to protect titles.
Dr. Turner has practiced In Omaha six
teen years. He was a student at Oxford,
a graduate of the Edinburgh Veterinary
college and a graduate In organic and In- 1
...n,l,- i.hnml,lrv In :l. I.onilon Mrhnnl I
Because he was not registered the law
prohibited him from hanging his diploma
on ' tho wall of his office or even telling
anyone he had a degreo or' was a veteri
nary surgeon.
His specllic offense was In
sending out a bill with the words "Dr.
Turner, graduate veterinarian," on it. He
was.urrested for uslug the title a!r his
na'mV. judge Leslie' said he thought a
law that provided no veterinarian ..should
practice without registering wovjld bo
sound, but, he did not think the legislature
had the right to deprive a person of tho
right -to usem, title or degree that had been
conferred upon him. i

He effective, and Clerk Ordered
to Ask foe the Money.
Tile city council Tuesday night passed an
ordinance compelling all street car com
panies operating In Omsha. to sell to school
chlMsrn thirty street car tickets for II,
the tickets to be honored between the hours
of S and 9 n. nt. and 2 and 5 p. m. No age
limit Is placed on those who may use such
tlcketf, but It Is stipulated that purchasers
shall present a certificate of school at
tendance when buying the tickets. Council
man Davis cast the only dissenting vote,
he taking the stand that tho ordinance was
c'.nss legislation.
When brought up for final reading the
r1lnanrr creating the offlc- of meat
hotel
and restaurant Inspector Was lost. Lack of
funds with which to mnlntaln such an
office was tho chief objection raised at thla
time.
Councilman Bridges Introduced another
ordinance prohibiting the erection of gas
tanks 'or receptacles or changes In those
existing within a territory taking In almost
the entire city. This ordinance was re
ferred to the committee on lighting. Mr.
Bridges' last ordinance on the same sub
ject was lost In the general committee.
The prr-sent contention centers at Twentieth
and Center streets, where the Omaha Gas
company has two large gas tanks and Is
seeking to erect a third.
An ordinance Increasing the salary of
three elevator conductors and four Janitors
In the City hall from $53 to $fi0 per month
wae up for first and second readings. It

Mayor Too Slow.'
A concurrent resMutlon regarding tho
Leo Gfler alleged shortage was brought
up, the document having been returned
from the mayor's otllgo without that of
ficer's signature. In view of the fact that
tho mayor retained the resolution longer
than forty-eight hours without either sign
ing or returning it unsigned, the resolution
was declared valid and effective by de
fault on the mayor's part. The city clerk
will now make a formal demand on Mr.
Grlcr and the United States Fldolity and
Guaranty company for, the amount of
J3.173.SS, the amount of alleged shortage.
The mayor's appointment of John Quinn
to succeed Jack Donahue as engineer at
the city jail was confirmed. Mr. Donahuo
has resigned.
City Attorney Burnam advised the coun
cil that that body had tho right to order
railroads to place and maintain lights it
all crossings within the city limits. This
matter was brought up at the time of a
collision between a street car and freight
train on South Thirteenth street.
The council adopted a concurrent reso
lution Instructing tho comptroller and

. A resolution ordcrg, tho city enginor
to change a hydrant from Eighth street,
between Farnam and Douglas, to Earnam,
between Eighth and .Ninth, waa adopted
after some, discussion as to whethor tho
council had the right to order such change,
in view of pending litigation over the
waterworks system, Councilman El
sasser contended that eight oouncllmeu
Oould' change any hydtsnt, any timei 'and
to any place they wished. It was . ex
plained that the water company had re
fused to make ' the change without an
order from the Water board and that the
Water board hod refused to take any
hand in the matter.

The Children Enjoy
Life out of doors and oat of the games which they play and the enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that
healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would
sanction, because its component ports are known to be wholesome and the remedy
itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and Its beneficial effects, is -Syrup
of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not
needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only
the simple, pleasant and gentle Syru of Figs.
Its quality is due not 'only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative
principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and Juices, but also to our
original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company
CALIFORNIA FIO SYRUP CO.-is printed on the front of every package. la

For years the humble soda cracker remained
obscure and unappreciated. No one seemed to
realize its food value no one seemed to know
that it was one of the most nutritious rations
obtainable.
Then one day the soda cracker was
"discovered." The NATIONAL BISCUIT
COMPANY saw its value if properly pre
sented to the public. They set about to
bring its quality to the highest possible stand
ardthe result being UnSGda Biscuit,
which are to-day recognized as one of the
staple foods of the American people.
Nearly 400,000,000 packages of them have
been sold, and the food value of the soda
cracker is a settled fact.

INQUIRY FOR JAMES ANDERSON
Two Meters ' Thluk Maa Hilled n
Vladact May Be Their
Brother.
Believing that James Anderson, the man
who died from 'injuries received In falling
from the Eleventh street viaduct a short
time, ago, might prove to he'a closo rela
tive, the husbnnd of one and brother of the
other two women from South Omaha be
gan making quiet Inquiry Tuesday as to
the body. In an endeavor to establish Its
Identity. If possible An intruest was held
after the death at St. Joseph's hospital, anil
the body now Has In the rooms of a med
ical college, being prpared for dlssoctioii.
' The women were not 'greatly alTecteii
when told where -they might And the body,
hut .admitted-the fault w-as theirs In not
Investigating sooner.- They said they would
call at the CrelghtOn Medical college this
momlng and ask leave to have tho body
brought out, so they might view It The
relative for whom they arc looking, they
explained, has been mlsslngr since the acci
dent to'' the man who guvo his name us
James Anderson, and his failure to return
to them has made them suspect he ,1s the
dead man.
Before ho died the Injured man was un
willing to give his name, and gave a differ
ent name nt the hospital than ho intimbleil
to the pollco. It was then believed ho had
not revealed his correct name.
The women were taken to the niedlcaJ
college Wednesday morning by Mr. Dor
ra'nce and after some difficulty tho''body
was brought from tho pickling vat. It
had .been In course of preparation for dis
section for some . time, but, tho .features
were welt preserved.
After viewing the-body both- women were
positively -convinced. ;it" was : not. that of
their missing relative. They had" brought
a picture of their relative with tuoru and
the , coroner thought the resemblance was
very marked. Who James Anderson really
was Is now a problem that will probably
never be solved.
