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. The
faculty thoroughly Investigated the affair
and decided to reinstate most of the boys
unconditionally. Three were admitted
conditionally and three others were ex
pelled. The1 three Omaha boys. Bummers,
O'Brien and Owens, were found to have
had nothing to do with the affair and were
exonerated from all blame and Invited to
return to school January 2. It is probable
the boys will return.

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.
The National Food and Drug act which
takes effect January 1, 1907, does not af
fect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in any
manner. No special labels are required on
this remedy under that Act, as It is free
from opiates and narcotics of every char
acter, making it a safe remedy for mothers
U use with their children. This remedy
has been in use for so many years, and
Its good qualities are so well known, that
no one need hesitate to use it when
troubled with a cough or cold.
