The people of South Omaha are watting
with considerable Interest the outcome of
the Injunction proceedings which ana to be
tried today before Judge Redlck's court.
This trial concerns the purchase of Syndi
cate park and la for the purpose of set
Una' aside the action of the council. It was
agreed by resolution at the last council
meeting that the city should employ special
counsel to conduct this case. It Is ex
pected that tha Arm of "Lambert & Win
ters will have charge of the case, although
this was not fully decided last night. It
la likely therefore that the council will
seek a continuance for the present. If the
contention that the pork already belongs
to South Omaha Is established by the plain
tiff, as he makes deposition. It is hard to
see just why the city attorney or the spe
cial counsel should take any great Interest
In the case. It would be a great saving to
the city to possess this park without cost
The land .company which sold the park
Should be on the anxious seat. It waa cur
rently rumored yesterday that the land com
pany's attorney waa to be employed by the
city aa special counsel, but this waa not
corroborated by the statement of J. H.

last night. Mr. Bulla said: "We expect

A Voice From
; the Stomach
A nioodlran Fight Between a Tablet
and a Habit The Tablet Wins.
At the Sgf of ,11,' Clarence had good
digestion. Hs had gastric Juice that could
dissolve doughnuts and turn apple-sklus
Into good blood corpuscles. .
At tha age of 24 he . began to be pro
fuse about the waist and lean backwards.
He also began to cultivate several chins.
In his new-found pride he began to think
tt his duty to gorge himself on every
thing, the good and the bad, for appe
tite feed on appetite and every good
thing Is abused.
' His picture showed that he took on
weight after he put his collar on.
, At the aga of !l Clarence married and
went to boarding. On top of all this,
he attended oyster suppers and wine din
ners, which reduced the else of his col
lar from 1H to IS. With still abiding
faith in the strength of his stomach he
gulped his meals, and chewed them after
ward!. i At the age of II Clarence began to hear
341 Inward voloa a warning from the
stomach. After each meal, he would fel
bloated and belching became a habit.
He began to be a light eater and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out a
cure, for now he would sit down at his
meals absolutely disgusted at the thought
or sight of anything to .eat.
He would sit dowa at hla meals with
out the trace of an appetite, just because
It was time to eat.
He would often feel a gnawing, unaat
Isfled "still-hungry" feeling in his stom
ach, even 'after he was through eating,
whether his meal waa well cooked or not
And he suffered a good many pther
things with his stomach that he could
not explain, but that made him grouchy,
miserable, out-'o-sorts and generally sour
on everybody and everything.
Finally he read an account, something
like this about the truly wonderful re
sults obtained from . Stuarfs Dyspepsia
Tablets in all cases of stomach trouble,
dyspepsia, and so on. He bought a t"o
box at the drug store, and took the
whole box. When he started, he had
little faith and less appetite. When he
finished he had absolute faith and more
appetite, and more good cheer. Things
began to taste different and better to him.
Now be has no more dyspepsia, no
more indigestion, no more loss of appe
tite, brash Irritation, burning sensation,
heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad mem
ory, or loss of vim and vigor.
Remember, one Ingredient of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you S.
00 grains of food, Just as it did lor
Clarence.
This relieves your stomach of the work
of digesting until your stomach can get
strong and healthy again. Tour stomach
has been overworked and abused. It's
fagged out It needs a rest.
.Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the
work of your stomach. Tou will be sur
prised how fine you'll feel after eating
and how lusciously good everything will

In addition to this the whole east aide has

Worried Over Pavlna Case.
In the matter of the injunction brought
by Hugh Murphy It Is predicted that the
city will again be In a difficult position. He
seeks to restrain the city from Interfering
with him in the removal of paving mater
ial from Missouri avenue. When the case
shall be brought to trial. It Is said that the
loot estimate of the city engineer, amount
ing to 16.200, and which was allowed by the
city council, will be brought forward
proof that Mr. Murphy still lacks that
amount to reimburse hint for the work and
material expended in that street. The coun
cil revoked Its action In allowing this es
tlmate through fear of threatened Injunc
tion proceedings. Nevertheless It will be
made a pretty strone point In evidence. If
It Is entabltafted, then It will bo a hard mat
ter for the engineer to account to the city
for the estimates, the grand total of which
amount to $12,700. Only two blocks on one
side of the street car track is laid, and
the neceasary material still lacks consid
erably of a sufficient amount to complete
the paving.
Gradlnar Work Enjoined.
Mr. McDonald of the firm of McDonald
& Book haa secured a restraining .order
preventing the city or Its contractor, Dan
Hannon, from griding the alley between
Twenty-second and Twenty-third and I and
J streets on the ground that he has not
been sufficiently remunerated In the award
of the appraisers for the damage the grad
ing will do to his property. He claims that
tha appraisers In the first Instance allowed
him 1103, but that a later council, with a
new board of appraisers, cut the appraise
ment to 135. He wants the former award
endorsed.
Work for Humane Officer.
Several of the government men engaged
In Inspection In the stock yards and pack
ing houses have been inquiring If there
were such a thing as an organisation of
the Humane Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. The occasion of
the remarks lies in many Instances of un
necessary brutal treatment of animals des
tined to slaughter in the pens of the stock
yarda and in the alleys and chutes of the
packing houses. It Is a government reg
ulation that all live hogs which go Into
the scalding vats shall be sent to the con
demned tanks, but this Has not .entirely
prevented hogs reaching the scalding water
alive. One hog Is reported lately to have
been so much alive that It Jumped clear
out of the tank and ran around the killing
beds. Boys who are hired to drive cattle
along the chutes have been seen to de
liberately punch out the eyes of the help
less cattle with sharp stloks. Perhaps
worse still, if anything. Is the handling of
cripples from the cars. They have . been
known to He on the platforms where they
are unloaded with broken limbs, and to
remain there all day long, unable to rise.
A man waa seen hauling a live steer with
Its head bent under Its body and unable
to do more than kick a broken leg, from
which the bare bone protruded six or eight
inches. There Is no possible excuse for
this kind of action, according to the state
ments of the government men. The small

The Savage English Grand Opera com

performance of Glacomo Puccini's "Madame
Butterfly" Wednesday afternoon and even
Ins at Boyd's theater. To Omaha's credit
be It said the audiences were very large
and most enthusiastic. There la nothing
abstruse about the great Italian's music.
The tempi which the American company
use make Butterfly In spots more like a
light than a grand opera. When Puccini
came to this country to direct his operas
he surprised everyone by saying "Slower!
Much slower!" A gTeat discussion was
precipitated, some liking not at all the
slow, dramatic Interpretations of "La Bo

of the Savage company leaves one perhaps

beauty. The score was sung and played so
rapidly many of the intervals and effects
were blurred.
The production as a whole Is wonderfully
beautiful, worthy In every way of what we I
have come to expect from the Savage man

the Nagasaki harbor; then the Interiors
of Madame Butterfly's house were exquisite
In every detail. A fitting background for
the beautiful, tragic little figure who In
three short years, and by the time she was
18 tasted all that life has to offer of Joy
and grief.
Miss Easton Wins Applause.
Miss Florence Easton as Cho-Cho-8an
was unusually effective. ' Her voice Is high
and clear and absolutely true. The role of
Butterfly Is very high and sustained and
difficult to sing. Miss Easton not only
sang well, but her acting was exceptionally
good. . She haa a most sympathetic con
ception of the part; her personal beauty
and grace add to the picture. Her transition
from a gay, careless little geisha in the
first act to a permanently saddened and
In the end hopeless woman was portrayed
by MIbs Easton with subtleness and heart
breaking fidelity. In the second act where
Cho-Cho-San tells Susukl that Plnkerton
will surely return and draws in Imagina
tion the manner of their meeting Miss
Easton reached a dramatlo and telling
climax In her singing for which she re
ceived a very spontaneous outburst of ap
plause. "Madame Butterfly" Is really a
one-part opera all the Interest Is centered
In the heroine Miss Easton more than
commanded, delighted and absorbed atten
tion for her careful and artlstlo work.
Chansre la Disappointing.
Alas! for some reason known to grand
opera annals, Mr. Sheean did not appear
The part of "Meester B. F. Plnkerton
was taken by an understudy, one Mr. Tay
lor of extreme youth, and a sweet but
wooly voice which absolutely refused to
carry over the footlights. The tenor part
of the opera In the afternoon might al
most aa well have been left unsung in
many, many places. Mr. Taylor couldn't
be. heard, Ptnkerton's role Is not a long
one, but H
Is. full of beautiful passages
that are neceasary to a harmonious whole.
When one can only see that the tenor's
mouth is open it Is disappointing.
Miss Houston as Susukl did some very
good work. Her voice Is heavy and of a
pleasing quality. It failed to blend very
well' with Miss Easton's in the flower duet.
The two voices were ' absolutely unlike.

gems of the afternoon, because of the man
ner of the Interpretation. Miss Houston
was Very sympathetic in her Idea of her
role. We all liked Susukl and wished In
her faithful love that she might have
helped Butterfly.
Seme Dellghtfol Moale.
The IntermecBO at the end of the second
act waa one of the greatest delights of
the performance. The women humming
with closed Hps sounded like some rare
instrument. The effect was ethereal and
fairy-like. Poor, lonesome little Butterfly

In vain for her faithless husband I
As Sharpless, Mr. Brownlow made a most
favorable Impression. He haa a pleasing
personality and a rich baritone voice, which
he uses to good advantage.
Steven Jungman did full Justice to
the part of the marriage broker.
Miss Ada Baecker did very well with
the ungrateful role of Kate Plnkerton.
The chorus work, as usual with the Sav
age companies, was a deHght.
Evening Performance Better.
The evening : performance, under . Mr.
Rothwell's direction, was far and away
better than the afternoon interpretation.
Mr. Rothwell gave the score a slower and
much more effective reading. His climaxes
were stirring and his lighter, work full
of poetry and Inspiration.

given with tremendous dramatic effect.

Her voice Is rich and true, thaugh at her
entrance with the chorus she sang her last
phrases badly off the key. This fault, how
ever, did not again show Itself. Her work

not deep. She and Mr. Maclennan did
some splendid work .together. Butterfly's
singing In the duet after their marriage
was unusually fine and effective. The

ful gray-hatred consul, who sang a good

Child Deserves Praise.
The little son of Cho-Cho-San, called
Trouble, deserves much praise. A more
natural, sweet little child It would be hard
to imagine.

RASMUSSEN WINS HIS CASE
Mil It Maa Gets Permanent Injunction
Against the City Health
Department.
A temDorarr injunction secured some
time ago by Rasmus Rasmussen, a North
Omaha milk dealer, against City Health
Commissioner Connell and Special Officer
Harry Wocldridge prohibiting them from
destroying milk which was of more than
CO degrees In temperature, was made per
manent Thursday morning ny Judge Red-
Irk at the request of Rasmussen's attorney,
F. W. Fitch, and the costs of the litigation
assessed against the defendants.
The litigation arose from the fact the
coloring matter waa placed by the city
health officials In milk on Rasmussen's de
livery wagon last fall and the milk then
dumped In a convenient gutter because the
temperature was over 60 degrees. Ras
mussen lost out In the lower court and ap
pealed the case, during which time a tem
porary Injunction was granted to restrain
Health Commissioner Connell and his
agents from acts of a similar character for
like reasons.
Upon showing made by Attorney Fitch
and the appellant Judge Redick granted
the Issuance of a permanent Injunction on
the ground that the destruction of the
milk by the insertion of coloring matter
or otherwise was not necessary unless in
case of prevailing epidemic of typhoid fever
or Infantile diseases.
Under the order secured Health Commis
sioner Connell still has authority to de
stroy milk of temperature over 60 degrees
when an epidemic Is In progress, but the
wanton destruction of the liquid because
of high temperature at other times la pro
titbits.
DRIVERS MUST BE CAREFUL
Chief Donahae Points Oat Necessity
Streets.
"Teamsters, automobile drivers and others
must begin to learn the habits of the streets
as taught In the large cities," said Chief
of Police Donahue Thursday. "This town
la becoming too large and traffic on certain
thoroughfares too great to continue In
country-town ways. We have a good ordi
nance for the regulation or traffic, which
provides that all vehicles must pass on
the right side of the street in the direction
In which It Is moving. Drivers should In
turning corners stay as close to the curb
as possible, and not go out Into the middle
of the street before turning. And the habit
of driving back and forth diagonally across
any street must be stopped, or serious dis
aster will soon result."
Chief Donahue said he could use hslf a
dosen men on downtown crossings to
handle traffic only. Sixteenth street at
Howard, Harney, Farnam, Douglas and
Dodge streets, he said, should have a man
at each corner, but with the number of
officers he has now he can do nothing.
Drivers, towever, he says, may help avert
accidents by observing rules which main
tain in the large cities without being com
pelled to do so by policemen.

The Park board Thursday morning delib

Improvement club and other N6rth Omaha
oltisens regarding the proposed , parking
g, Cut.off IaIte. Thl conference re-
suited In the moet encouraging outlook for
this addition to the Omaha park system
that has yet been manifested.
At the close of the discussion Commis
sioner Cornish, who has given this project
special and earnest study, offered a motion
that the city engineer be requested to draw
plans In accordance with a blue print sub
mitted by the commissioners and on which
had been outlined the tracts of land It Is
believed will have to be appropriated to
carry out the Cut-Off lake parking project.
After Engineer Rosewater has prepared
the plans the matter will be referred to the
city council for passage of necessary or
dinances and appointment of appraisers.
The work will then be prosecuted with ex
pedition. Mr. Cornish assured those pres
ent that the money would be forthcoming,
but whether It would be raised by bonds or
some other means he was not prepared to
announce.
Promoters Express Thanks.
The assurance that the park board would
carry out the project was a source of much
gratification to all. W. I. Klerstead, speak
ing for the Fifth Ward Improvement club
and others, thanked the commissioners for
their co-operation, and In turn Chairman
Craig of the board thanked the Improve
ment club for the unceasing seal mani
fested in pushing the scheme to Its pres
ent stage.
Only proposed plans of the new park have
been considered, but It Is believed the pro
posed plans will be followed In a' general
way when the land is actually acquired
by the city. The plana considered Thurs
day morning showed a 600-foot strip of
land extending around the north aide of the
lake, this strip comprising 23 acres. This
strip Includes thirty acres extending from.
the west end of the lake to Locust street.
It is proposed' to connect the park with a
thoroughfare from Sherman avenue, near
Ames. Besides the 223 acres mentioned, a
tract north of the lake and west of the
large Ice house across (rora the beach will
be acquired. Just how much land will be
acquired there will depend on circum
stances, but the Idea Is to have the park
open out at this point and afford space
for playgrounds pv even encampments.
Fifty Thousand Dollars.
The proposed first expenditure on this new
park will be $50,000. With a boulevard ex
tending to the park and a street oar line
across from Sherman avenue, the com
missioners believe this will be a notable
acquisition to Omaha's park system.
