MANDERSON. ON PRESIDENTS
Personal Itemtnlsrenre of Occupants
of the White House from
Lincoln to Roosevelt.
General Charles F. Manderson was the
principal speaker at the Washington-Lincoln
dinner given by the Men's club of the First
Presbyterian church Monday evening. The
dinner waa attended by many of the most
prominent citizen, of Omaha. Cadet Taylor
acted as chairman and aa toastmaster. The
dinner began at 6:30. K
The first address was delivered by Wif-
lard Lampe, whose theme was "George
Washington," and was an eloquent though
necessarily brief tribute to that Immortal
character.
General Munderson'. address was largaly
reminiscent of the twelve presidents of the
United States from Buchanan to Roosevelt,
with all of whom ho had been privileged
to enjoy personal acquaintance. At the out
set he spoke cf the cosmopolitan character
of the population of the United Slates at
thl. time, and the gradual extinction of
the old American stock through absorption
with the new. He believed that the mingling
of -the European races In America would
bring about a good result and that this co
mingling really meant more thorough unifi
cation of a people who would continue loyal
to the genlua of American Institutions and
thus asaure the perpetuity of the American
republic.
Of President Theodore Roosevelt, he said:
"He is a man of wonderful versatility, but
erratlo In some ways. I have the highest
regard and respect for him, and thoush I
have had to kick against tbe pricks in some
features of his policies, I am willing to for
give him. In the careers of these men I
cn but say In conclusion that so long as
we can have such men In public office the
nation will be secure."
Upon the conclusion of General Mander
son' address he waa tendered a formal re
ception and many of bis old friends took
the opportunity to again grasp him by the
hand.

other person', eve on the street, nther
member, of the board held, however that
no one person .hould be compelled to put
up his money to fight a test case for the
public good.
Regarding discipline. Member McCarue
believed that a test case ought to be
brought for the sake of law as viewed bv
the child, that the rueings of the Board
of Health are paramount and that the
best way to aettle what he termed "thl.
unseemly dispute" would be to bring the
test caae.
In contradiction, however. Sunerlntentlent
Davld.on stated that the discipline of the
schools ha. not been tampered with on
account of the controversy, that the chll-
dren had received a greater preception of
and respect for the law, but that for the
sake of aome 600 children who are staying
away from school so as not to violate the
law the matter should be settled at once
so as not to deprive them of more school
ng.
ine resolution originally contained a
clause providing for the employment of
another attorney to present all side, of
the matter, but thl. clause wa. eliminated

TYPEWRITER SHOWS STUDENTS
Yoang Man Who Writes O.OOO Words
I'er Hoar Visits Omaha
School.
H. O. Blalsdell, champion typewriter of
the world, gave an exhibition of his skill
In Washington hall Monday afternoon to
the students ot Boyles Business college.
The champion typewriter of the world
"knocks" the electric typewriting machines
and believes more speed may be attained
where the forearm Is used as well as the
fingers. The machinery of the electrical
typewriters Is operated by power, the only
motion necessary to use the machine Is to
rrletiFe the letters much aa when operating
a linotype. Mr. Blalsdell does not believe
his record on the typewriter could be
equalled on a linotype or electric type
writer. What Is considered the best time and
record ever made by the young man was
at Kansas City Saturday. He wrote $.01$
words in one hour and made but eighty-one
errors, being an average of over 100 words
per minute. The championship, which he
secured from Miss Harrington, who oper
ated a Monarch typewriter, was In Chicago
at tha business men', .how. Mr. Blalsdell
operated an Underwood and made an av
erage net speed of eighty-eight words per
minute, while Miss Harrington made but
an aversgs of alxty-seven per minute.

against the city for 114.800, exclusive of th
costs. Two cases have been appealed ana
are still before the supreme court. Tht
aggregate of the two Is $5,000. Fourteen
cases are still pending before the district
court, with claims reaching $80,000. Four
teen cases In equity are also still pending.
The damage suits have cost the city about
$8,000 annually. He advised that the legis
lature be Importuned to amend the charter
so a. to .hut out most of these case, by
requiring that no Injuries be considered a.
holding the city liable unless a written
notice of the defective street or walk be
filed with the clerk at least five dan
previous to the accident, claimant, should
be required to file the name, and addressee
of' all witnesses. He also recommended
that In special assessments for improve
ments that the petitions for Improvement,
be published and subject to protest for a
stated period, and In such rase a hearing
be given on the protest before the city
council. v
He recommended that the office of city
tax commissioner be left out altogether and
that the mayor appoint assessors and clerks
for thl. work. He asked that the tax quali
fication for electors be stricken out of the
charter at as early date as possible.
The rest of the setslon was routine. Arch- .'
ltect John La tenser concurred in the opinion
of the city attorney that the contractor,
for the city hall could not be held for tha
failure to complete the building under tha
terms of the contract.
Charles Cummlngs filed a protest against
the polling place In the First district of
the Fifth ward because of the proximity to
a saloon. The council spoke favorably to
a change, but took no actlpn.
A bond ordinance for the sanitary sewer
at Twenty-sixth and Q was introduced, also
the ordinance opening N street east of Thir
teenth to the river.
The claim of Mike Sobjseka was settled
for $51. A number of claims were approved
and alowed. Among them wa. the eighth
partial estimate for the N street gulch

That Is why my medicine I. selling at
such a tremendous rate. I have convinced
many thousand, of people that these
things are so, and the number 1. growing

Among the more recent convert, to Mr.
Cooper', beliefs i. Mr. Kdgar U. Hinds,
living at ( Tappan Street, Kveratt, Mass.
Mr. Hinds has this to say on the subject:
"1 have suffered with stomach trouble
for eight years. I was not sick enough
to be in bed, but Just felt bad all the time.
My greatest trouble waa that I always felt
tired, would get up In the morning feel
ing as tired as when I went to bed. ,
"I had very Irregular appetite, and wa.
troubled with dlxzy spells. If I stood for
any length of time, I would have a' dull
pain In the lower part of my back. I was
nervous and felt all the time a. though
something terrible was going to happen.
I tried many kinds' of medicine, but noth
ing ever helped me.
"I had about given up all hope of ever
being In good health again, when I hoard
so much of Cooper and decided to try hi.
medicine. I took one bottle of hi. New
IHscovery and was greatly surprised at
the result. I gained 12 pound. In a few
weeks. I can now eat anything I wish
and feel like a new man. I cheerfully
recommend thl. medicine to al) sufferet.
