V 8 THE OMAIIA DAILY BEEs SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1906. h: ni ONE MUST HIT HIS GAIT l .. l z luo Your Groove One Prerequisit? of Correct Lifine. TWO OLD SAGES AGREE ON THIS 'ronhl Is, Too Many Men Try 1 Support an Kmno Appetite in a Dotterniilk 9alarr. ' I believe that getting one's gait la a pre requisite to correct living, as much as I believe the court house needs an elevator," r market the Cartful Oliecrvc-r, when he htid the Oldest Inhabitant walked beside tue placid mio1 of philosophic peace. "The trouble with moist of us Is we fall to get our gait, or, having lound It, for sake It to roach for some chimerical ob ject or jut cent get-nch-quick Invest ment before the other fellow gels to It. The result is either our grocer gets ner vous or our folks ask the police to look us up," continued the observing one. "Your thought hus been covered by a clHRMcal rxprt-ssslon - which referred to a man . who h..d an egg-nog thirst and a buttermilk inioimv That man got out of step and iaa ruled off the course for manners. J is friends, who drank butter milk, and with whom he belonged, shook their hods, while the esg-nog companions did not cluster around the buttermilk boy to any d'-grve of suffocation. Finally he was led bark to butermilk, which then he .-ullnhed with zest, and In the fullness of time was able to Indulge In ginger ale without having to put a slip In the cash dtawer. Hut It was not record-d that he ever got Into the egg-nog class for keeps," replied the ancient and honorable one. All Have Their Limitation. "I have been teaching my congregation that ev ry one has Ids limitations, al though those limitations, which may ob tain at any particular time, nay be de veloped by u prucess of training until tie individual s responsibilities exceed lu time even ' his youthful dreams. I have told I hem that th world was not made In an emht-bour day and that only patience Titid an iibldiiig faith will enable any one to get his rlnht gait and keep It. Suppose the stars " In their courses Would lose their gait, what would result? The universe I. as a gait which It holds; nature, with its immutable laws, lias a gait. It steadfastly holds. The whole thing resolves itself Into a wise and systematic plan of action. The Individual should adopt soma steady and consistent gait, gathering speed and mo mentum as the mind and muscles grow stronger and the stmoleons accumulate," responded the Careful Observer. "To my grief I often have noticed, for instance," added the Oldest Inhabitant, "people aspiring to the police force be fore they were able to rule a city. I have seen men trying to set the world aflie and when their wives asked them to turn the washing machine they complained of bock aclie. Men with back aches arc not com petent to start mundane continuations. Little, girls get the maternal Instinct from association with their dolls, whllo boys nre Imbued with the martial spirit with pop gun.i, with which they shoot out their nt Ighhors' window and cause those self same neighbors to flee from the wrath next d: or. The biddy hen shows her young how to scratch for the worm or cracked corn. And so, all through life, man should maintain that gait which Is In keeping with lis powers and purse, else he Is -liable to fall frcm a sixth-story window, or a ! entlolh-story window If In New York, and hurt his pride. To get the right gait Is only to get In tune with the world In general and environments In particular. That la the open sesame to rtl happiness." Then the Careful Observer ami the Oldest Inhabitant got Into step and went down to the corner grocery for a Back of ginger snaps. NO-PASS ORDER GIVES SHOCK Notice of Street nallway to Railroads Causes Soma Iatereatlasr Remarks. In view of the strorg and growing senti ment against the Issuing of passes by transportation companies, ss evidenced by recent legislation on the subject, the board of directors of this company deemed It wise to abolish nil passes on Its system, and at a meeting held a short time ago pnsed a resolution directing that on and after January 1, 1907, nil passes be abol ished, excepting to officers and employes of the company. Respectfully, R. A. LEl'SSLER. Secretary. The above little notice was sent out to all penholders of the Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Railway company, and came as a sort of mldseason Christmas and New Year present (?). In the above the com pany gives as Its reason for abolishing passes the growing sentiment against free transportation. The subject was first con sidered by the company, however, when a notice was received from the Interstate Commerce commission that 4t should abide by the rules of other Interstate carriers, because of the Interstate business on the line between Omaha and Council Bluffs. "All classes are to be treated alike, and he who rides must pay," Is the statement made by Vice President Wattles. When the notices were received by the railroad officials Friday It was really Interesting to hear the different kind of a talk these men put up to what they did some time ago when they were sending out notices that free transportation on the railroads would be cut oft. One old-timer was ve hement In his wrath. "Why, I hnve traveled on free trans portation for forty years, and to be cut off now Is an outrage," he said. OMAHA BOYS ARE REINSTATED Student GlTen Clean Bill by Faculty of the Morgan Parle Academy. The faculty of Morgan Park academy at Chicago at a meeting held Thursday night voted unanimously to reinstate the four Nebraska boys who were expelled, with twenty-five others, for refusing to tell who had been Instrumental In breaking up some furniture In one of the tutors rooms.

GAS BILLS TO HAVE FLOOul Several by Fankhoater Will Be Ooniideret EttQidty Kigali LAST COUNCIL MEETING THIS YEAR Aside from Those Ordinances Drawn, Funkhanser Confess plates On for Una at Dol lar Per Thousand. Several matters of Importance are on the dodket for the city qounoil's last meeting of the year, which will be held Saturday evening, postponed from Tuesday, Councilman Funkhouser will bring In his gas commissioner ordinances, one provid ing In technical terms fur the Inspection of Illuminating and heating gas In Omaha and denning the duties and authority of the gas commissioner. This ordinance has been referred to In detail before. The ordinance will be read first and second times Satur day evening and referred In the usual man ner. Inasmuch as there Is a general dis position among the councilman to redeem their gas plank In the platform, the Indi cations are at this time the Funkhouser ordinance will receive strong support In the council chamber, several councilmen already having expressed themselves on the matter. Adjunct to First Bill. Mr. Funkhoup er's other gas ordinance Is one defining the qualifications required of the Incumbent who shall fill the office of gas commissioner. This ordinance Is merely a necessary adjunct to the other one. The office will be appointive, the mayor making the appointment and the council confirming or rejecting such appointment. Charles F. Crowley, at present city chemist. Is spoken of for the place, the Idea, being to have him make examinations for the city health department In connection with the work of gas commissioner. Mayor Dahlman has not yet Intimated whom he would name for the office should the ordinance pas. Councilman Funkhouser, who is chair man of the lighting committee, will have still another ordinance up Saturday even ing, this one giving the city electrician j full control over the city gas and electric lamps. This ordinance provides that the electrician shall have under his sole super vision meters on all the circuits through which pass the currents for the city arc lamps, so that the matter of "outage" may be In the hands of a city official instead of the electric light company, as at present. Move for Dollar Gas. Mr. Funkhouser's next move, he says, will be to have the city legal department get up an ordinance to condemn the gas plant and appoint appraisers under city charter provisions. This move is to get gas for $1 or less, the lighting committee believing the Omaha Gas company will offer gas at that rate when they get a copy of this ordinance. Goodley Brucker will Introduce his auc tioneer ordinance. This measure Is In tended to put auctioneers under $1,000 bond and make them criminally and civilly lia ble for misrepresentations. According to this ordinance auctioneers will have to "cry in a loud voice" Just what kind of metal Is contained In any piece of metal ware offered at auction. The Brucker grade crossing ordinance Is ready for In' troductlon, but lacks a complete list of grades needing such protection as watch men, gongs or lights. Mr. Brucker has been tramping along, the tracks for two weeks and has the list almost finished. He now has about twenty crossings' lined up and expects to have the ordinance up at next week's meeting. Mayor Dahlman expected to have his an. nual message and summary ready for Sat- ay evening, but FYMay morning said he would hold It for next week. In his mes sage to the council the mayor will make suggestions for 1907. The council will not sit Monday and Tues day, January 7 and s, as a board of equaW Ixatlon on account of next Tuesday being a holiday and thus precluding the adver tisement as required by law. There will be no sitting of this board during January. SLOAN SEEKS VINDICATION Brines T'p Case to Get Clear-Cat Rnllnsr on Anthorlty of Indian Police. The habeas corpus case In the matter of Green Rainbow, an Omaha Indian and In dian policeman, arrested by civil authori ties at the Omaha agency on the charge of an arbitrary exercise of authority In electing a collector from the agency grounds for alleged violation of the Interior department rules, and the case of William Walker, an Omaha Indian, sentenced to thirty days' Imprisonment for assault by the court of Indian offenses, are again up In the federal courts. Thomas t Sloan la attorney for the latter and Is the Instigator of the former suit In his own Justification. He holds that In the former case the Indian police have no right to exercise any authority against cltlsens for an nlleged violation of Interior department rules and that the col lector had a right to be present to enforce the collection of his bill at the time of t!te payment of Indian moneys by the In dian agent, and hence had Green Rainbow arrested for. arbitrary exercise of au thority. The government secured Green Rainbow's release under a writ of habeas corpus, which Sloan Is now resisting. In the Walker case Mr. Sloan Insists that the court of Indian offenses Is without legal jurisdiction, but that the case of as sault la one for the state authorities to handle under the claim that the Indians are cltlsens and are amenable to state laws. Both cases have been submitted on briefs to Judge Trleber, who will pass on the cases at his home in Arkansas, the cases having been Initiated before him while on the bench In Omaha. FALL FROM CAR IS SERIOUS Laborer Snatalns Cats on Head and Face that Have to Be Sewed. Mike Riley, a laborer at Kllpatrlck's grading camp, was taken from the city Jail to St. Joseph's hospital Thursday night at the request of Police Surgeon Pugsley. Riley was arrested Thursday afternoon for drunkenness. His head and face were bad ly bruised, necessitating several stitches being taken to close the wounds. ' Riley said he had gotten off a street car between Eleventh and Twelfth on Farnam street while It was In motion and had been knocked flown. His Injuries were not be lieved to be serious until he began to suffer great pain in his cell at the Jail Thursday night and It was thought best to take him to the hospital as he might be Internally injured. roum msst! la Line with the rare Food Law.
