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. '
At this particular period In ft child's ex
istence nnturo Is gn'ng through a transi
tion which Is of vital Importance t) the
chlid and the parent.
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. Ask his opinion of
Calcium Sulphide as the Stuart process
presents It to the blood. He will sell you
a package for 60 cents, or send us your

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

LIBERTY BELL WAY BE HERE
If Soaader of Illetorle Toealn la Seat
to Exposition Stop May Be
Made in Omaha.
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.

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

BISHOP. 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.
