Police Board Heart Charge Against
an Albright Saloon Keeper.
SELLING TO MINORS THE CHARGE
A. ' W. ftmlth, aa llllaola Central
Svrltrhmaa Living In t'oaaeil
Staffs, Mas Both Legs
Crashed.
The Board of Fir" and PolP-e commission
ers met last night and held a formal trial,
In which James Kracek of Albright, who
runs a saloon at the corner of Railroad
avenue and Polk street, was charged with
selling liquor to Charles Whaley, a minor.
On the conclusion of the evidence the
board took the case under advisement and
ordered the chief of police to close up the
place pending a decision by the board.
The evidence, was to the effect that the
saloonkeeper had knowingly sold the liquor
and had on several occasions heen warned
by the mother of tha boy and forbidden . to-
sell him any liquor. The proprietor made
no denial of the matter; but mentioned
some extenuating cl.cumstances and prom
ised reform. The board expressed no Judg
ment In this case, but again stated em
phatically that selling to minors would not
be tolerated under any circumstances and
that children under age must be kept out
of saloons. The board expressed a desire
that thla ruling be made aa public as pos
sible so that no one need plead Ignorance.
Tno police will become more vigilant In
the enforcement of this phase of the 81 o
cumb law.
Rtolea Property necoTered.
The burglary caeo by which L. C. Glb
ron lost nearly tXO worth of Jewelry Tues
day, December 1. waa cleared up last night
by the recovery of most of the property
and the arrest of George Gavin of Des
Moines by the Omaha police. The prop
erty consisted of a garnet necklace, a
woman's gold watch, a bracelet, eight
rings and a coat and vest. In an Indefinite
way suspicion pointed to a certain man ad
dicted to the u.se of narcotic drugs and
It was felt that he would pawn the prop
erty when he desired money for the drug.
Yesterday four of the rings were discov
ered In Omaha pawnshops and finally the
net closed on the prisoner. Captain J. C.
Trouton went to Omaha for him last even
ing, but left tho man In Omaha. Mrs. L.
C. Gibson Identified her Jewelry.

Admits Wife Desertion.
. Philip Madden has confessed to a charge
of ' deserting his young wife in Chicago.
He and John Hogan were arrested after a
long chase and some shooting by Chief
John Biiggs Wednesday evening. The
chief arrested them on suspicion, having
really nothing against the men except their
bungling attempts to escape notice. They
were given such a searching at the station
that Madden became frightened and broke
down. He said he had a trifling quarrel
with his wife and had pulled up and left
Chicago with Hogan, persuaded by the
latter'a glowing account of the money they
oould make and the good times in San
Francisco. He got as far as Denvesrt
where he repented and sent HO back to hla
wife and started on his return. He begged
the chief to let him write to hla wife and
In this letter he plead for forgiveness and
promised any kind of penance. Before
the chief he sobbed over the story of his
treatment of his wife end prayed the of
ficer to keep him until word came from
her. The other man seemed almost as
much affected, but said he waa guilty of
no crime, and had asked his friend to go
with him only aa a companion.
Ead af Slarqaardt Episode.

reers. The girl waa under the Jurisdic

child and the parent.
rimples on the face of a child removed
by Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
The organs of the child all become
larger. The skin begins to grow hair, the
glands and cells of the skin apparently
become stronger and larger. Impurities
occur In the system and poisons enter
the blood and are thrown off usually
from the face in the form of pimplts.
Mothers should zealously guard the
child against serious blood impurities at
this time. Our grandmothers gave i-ar-saparllla,
Bassafras root, cream of tartar
and sulphur every spring. These simple
remedies did a good work, but silence
has discovered the most powerful ano
beneficial blood purifier to be Calcium
Sulphide.
Stuart's Calcium Wafers are prepared
after the most modern method of con
veying the full strength of Calcium Sul
phide to the blood. They lose none of It
through evaporation and chemical chai.ge
like most calcium sulphide remedies sold
today. Stuart's Calcium Wafers also
contain Quassia, Golden Seal and Eucalyp
tus, all known purifiers of great power.
Combined with these Ingredients is a pure
vegetable alterative and laxative which,
when the other Ingredients clear tne blood
from poison and decay, throw oTf 'Jits
Impure matter from the system through
the bowels and in a natural, easy r. inner.
Stuart's Calcium Wafers should be In
every household, and used by the parent
for the benefit of the child. They are
harmless, promote normal appetite and di
gestion, beautify the skin and enrich the
blood so necessary to the rapid growth
or the child.
Go to your druggist. Ask his opinion
of Calcium Sulphide as the Stuart process
presents It to the blood. He will sell

"A Little Indian Trading Village."
OMAHA. Dec. 4. To the Kdltor of The
Ilee: The Bee said Friday morning that
when Kev. H. W. Kuhns organized tho
Lutheran church here in 1858, Omaha was
"a little Indian trading village." This Is
a mistake. Omaha at that time was quite
a town. It was about four years of age.
I was the nominal head of the Herndon
House Hotel company, which waa being
completed. It waa a fine building for
that early day. The better part of It Is now
the Union Pacific headquarters building.
As a matter of fact, Omaha was never a
ilule Indian trading village at all, except
when White Cow, the famous orator of the
Omahas, would come down from the Black
bird hills reservation on my invitation with
nis family to pay mo a visit. He did some
trading then by swapping short orations
.or plugs of tobacco.

W. A. Chrisman, the union's delegate to

views on the injunction and the executive
committee waa empowered to transmit a
reply. The debute will be on the Bubject:
"Would It be advisable to prohibit the
courts from entertaining any action against
an organization of employers or employes,
a member or official thereof, for boycott,

opinion as to whether any of the changes

The new Issue of postage stamps will
not go on sile until January 1. 1909. About
$l.X).ofO worth of the stamps of the first
of the new lrwign are being held In Chlcagd
t.) be sold there on that date. In the mean
time a change will l.e made In the design
of the new 2-cent stamp. Thla change has
been made necessary through the discov
ery that the International postal regula
tions require that Arabic numerals to de
no' e the denomination of the stamp shall
be used, whlli the new stamps hsve only
the words 'Two Cents" on them. These
stamps wil be disposed of and no more
of them made. As a result there la a big
demand from stamp collectors for them,
and It Is possible thst a greater part of
'.lose "two-cent" stamps will not go Inta
use, but will be held by stamp collectors.
