4 THK OMAHA StTXDAY HEE: .TANTATtY 10. 1000. Children and Pimples Seem to Go Together, and Yet Few Parent! Fully Appreciate the Warning. At the age of pulwrty most children are affllotri with pimples and many with wr ou skin eruptions.

Pimples on the fsee ci i -hi1 removed bv Btu&rt's Calcium Wafers. The organs of tho child all lome larger. The skin begins to glow hair, the glands and ctllu of the kln apparently brouma strongur au.l larger. Impurities occur In the systan, and pulsons inter the blood and are thiewn off usually from the fuce In the form of pimples. Mothers should walous y guard the child against serious blood impurity at this tlmo. Our grandmothrs gave sursupaiilij, sae Rafraa root, cream of tartar and sulphur every spring. These simple remedies did a good work, but science has discovered the most powerful and beneficial blood purifier to be Calcium Sulphide. Stuarts Calcium Wafers are prepared after the most modern method of convey ing the full strength of Calcium Sulphide to the blood. They lose none of It through evaporation and chemical change like most calcium sulphide remedies sold today. Btuart's Calcium Wafers also contain Uuassla, Qoldrn Seal and Eucalyptus, all known purifiers of great power. Combined with these Ingredients Is a pure vegetable alterative and laxative which, when the other Ingredients clear the blood from poisons and decay, throw off this Impure matter from the system through tho bowe's and In a natural, easy manner. Stuart's Calcium Wafers should be In ev ery household, and used by the parent for the benefit of tho child. Trey aie harm less, promote normal appetite and dla.es tlon, beautify the skin and enrich tlu blood so necessary to the rapid growth ot the child. Oo to your druggist.

SHELDON HAD REJECTED THEM hellrnbrrarr Hoped rnllrr Commli. loners Would ot Art 1'ntll l.ea lalatare Settled Fight of Haw to Choose. John I.. Kennedy imd Robert Cowell, re publican members of the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioner for Omaha, have sent their resignations to Governor Shallenber gvr and the question Is, will the governor accent or refuse to accept them as did Governor Sheldon. Moth these men sent their resignations to Governor Sheldon months ago, but the gov ernor simply marked across the front of the resignations, "received, but not ac repted." The term of Mr. Kennedy has two years and threo months yet to ran and that of Mr. Cowell over three years. The present session of the legislature ex peels to adopt a new plnn for the selec tlmi of the members of the fire and police boards for both Omaha and South Omaha, Tho difficulty is in deciding whether the method will be appointive by the mayor or election by the people. The democratic platform on which trie' state ticket ran guaranteed1 home rule and It is expected the legislature will carry out that platform, but a hot fight Is on as to the definition of lumie rule. Governor Shallenberper hoped to keep out of the scrap by quietly sending word to the members of the board asking them not to send in their resignations, but wait until tho legislature would take some action. The governor evidently knew that with the resignations of Kennedy snd Cowell in his hands tie would be besieged by his col leagues to accept the resignations and ap point now members. The resignations of Page and Oilier, the democratic members, have not been sent In. The present law governing the fire and police board will require that the new mem bers be republicans. It was suggested that even though the resignations were sent to Lincoln the governor would not see them until the legislature had acted, but this suggestion wss not acted upon and the res ignations were sent direct to Governor Shallenberger. CHEIR0 HAD VICTIMS HERE Palmist Was Able to Charm a Few Credulous Women of Omaha. If "Count" Louis Mammon, alias "Chelro" is a fraud or If, as charged, he swindled two women In a stock-trading deal, are 11 the lovely fortunes which he predated for credulous Omaha people therefore false? Many women who have had their palms real by the plausible Mr. Chelro are In the depths of despair since they read the cable dispatch saying a warrant has been Issued In Paris for the arrest of the palm ist with the soulful eyes and the sympa theticOh, so sympathetic voice. Talk to any of these women and it will be discovered that not one admits believ ing that Chelro could peer into the misty future and unroll that veiled scroll. "But he was simply wonderful at reading character, don't you know. Why, he knew me down to the slightest detail after Just looking at my hand for thirty seconds," Somewhat curiously or perhaps not so curiously either, all the women and there are a good many who traveled from here to Chicago or New Tork to consult Chelro, were given "strong" characters In hie read ings, "plenty of will-power and a most pronounced personality." It just so hap pens that none of these women and girls was ever told that her palms showed her to be weak, shallow, silly or selfish. There Is none here, of course, certainly not among those who could and would pay Chelro the Juicy fee he always extracted. "Chelro" la the author of several books on palmistry, which have had a large sale among the credulous, many of whom are Ignorant of the fact among other facts that Chelro's very name shows him to be an adept at stagey effects.

The people of this city may be given a chance to see the old liberty bell In Omaha in the early summer. The directors of the Portland Rose Festival and the Alaska- Paciflo exposition, which ie to be held on the coast this year, have written the mayor and the members of the city council of the city of Philadelphia asking that they allow the shipping west of the old bell which In 177(1 proclaimed liberty to the people of the colonies. The dlnx'tors believe they will se cure the privilege and have written Mayor Dahlman to apprise him of the faet and to notify him- that if Omaha proceeds to "get busy" the historic relic can probably be routed this way. Should the bell be sent west It will be under military guard and will be started on Its Journey the fore part of June. BRIEF CITY NEWS save Boot print It. Douglas Printing- Co. Both 'phones.

City Attorney Burnham has prepared an ordinance providing for an occupation tax of from 2 to 3 per cent on the street rail way company and the telephone companies of Omaha. The Introduction of this ordinance Is de pendent upon the decision of the supreme court In a suit brought by the city of Lincoln to collect an occupation tax from the Lincoln Traction company. Attorneys for the Omaha St Council Bluffs Street Railway company and for the Nebraska Telephone company of Omaha appeared as friends of the court and as sisted the local company In fighting the case In the supreme court. City Attorney Burnham has Interested himself In the case to the extent that to parties in Lincoln he said If the city won the case he would Introduce such an ordi nance in the Omaha city council and In fact had the ordinance already drawn. In the argumont before the supreme court Judge Stewart, city attorney of Lincoln, In answer to the statement by John L. Web ster, counsel for the Omaha street railway company, that his company could not af ford to pay the tax, gave an Interesting comparison of the valuation of the property owned by the two companies In Omaha and Lincoln. ' Comparison of Valaea. " The value of the Lincoln Traction com pany was placed by the State Railway com mission at tl.lOO.OCO and this was based on thirty-six miles of tracks. The Omaha company, he showed, had 108 miles of track and it was stocked and bonded for a valu ation of $28.O0O,0liO In round numbers. On this . valuation It pays annually a 6 per cent dividend on the preferred stock and 4 per cent on the common. In addition it pays ( per cent on Its outstanding bonds, and $300,000 la set aside annually for de preciation. The Omaha company, he said, Is only three times as large or as valuable as the Llnooln company, yet It Is paying divi dends on a valuation nearly iweniy-six times as Urge. "The proposed ordinance Is simply In a rough draft and we are not aa yet certain Just what its provision -Ul be or Just how much the tax win De, earn uiy av torney Burnham. "Kor my part I am In favor of waiting until a oecisiun im ren dered in the Lincoln case, but I am not the council and the ordinance may be in troduced before then, aa a number of the councllmen are pounding me on the back to get ready."

STATES HIS SIDE nev. W. M. Williams Mays an Assist ant Was Responsible for Discrepancy. Rev. W. M. Williams, bishop of the African-American church, who waa ar rested on suspicion of collecting funds fraudulently, and has appealed Ills case to the district court, has been vindicated so far as his "people" are concerned by a committee that Investigated his affairs. The committee was composed of Mrs. Myrtle Foster, W. M. Jefferson and Joseph Harris, all of South Omaha. Bishop Wil liams Is collecting funds for the support of a home for colored orphans at 312 Rail road avenue. South Omaha. Mrs. Foster Is secretary of the home and the men are deacons. "We found," said Deacon Jefferson, "that tho only discrepancy In Bishop Williams' affairs was that certain donations had been raised In amount on the books, so as to make It appear that more money had been collected. The purpose of this was to encourage other people to make liberal contentions. But the committee found that even these discrepancies were not made by Bishop Williams. Indeed, they were made while the bishop was out of the city by one of his solicitors." "That is all true." said the bishop. "I was called to Kansas City to bury my sister, who died there, and a solicitor, without any evil Intention, altered these accounts." The bishop gave the name of the solicitor. "I have $171 on deposit with the Metro politan Insurance company money that 1 have collected for this home. My record is open to the public. I have done no wrong and shall do none. I will go right on with my work." Both the bishop and his deacon said that St. Peter's Mission, the name of the homo at 312 Railroad avenue, Siuth Omaha, was being suitably furnished and would be conducted for poor colored orphans. The building was rented from O'NcIl Bros., real estate dealers of South Omaha, and the bishop held his first rent receipt. CRANE 0NCEJ METHODIST Clergyman in l.lmellahc at Worces ter. Mass., at One Time Incnm bent of Local First Ctaarch. Rev. Frank Crane, the clergyman whose unexplained resignation of his pulpit In the First Congregational church at Worcester, Msbs., has startled his parishioners, was pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church In Omaha from 1892 to 1896. Mr. Crane recently delivered three lec tures at the University of Chicago, en titled, "A Defense of Heresy," and while thcNe were not so hair-raising as the title might indicate, they are thought to have played a part In bringing about his resig nation, which his letter to the Worcester deacons does not make clear. Mr. Crane, who was well thought of In vOmaha, came here from some small town In Illinois and left to go to the Centenary church In Chicago. He held another Meth odist pulpit In Chicago and then went to Worcester, also to a Methodist church. It was there three years ago that he aban doned Methodism for the Congregational discipline.
