It's a painful count if you wash them in the old-fashioned way Washing dishes with soap is not only ineffect ive, but tiresome and needlessly old-fashioned. Soap does not cleanse as thoroughly as it should; it overlooks lurking germs and leaves a greasy, "smelly" film. GOLD DUST not only cuts grease and dirt with scarcely any rubbing, but is an antiseptic that goes deep after every minute and oft-times hidden impurity. It will sterilize your dishes and kitchen things, and make them wholesome and sanitary. A teaspoonful of GOLD DUST in your dish water will work wonders on dishes, glassware and silver ana save you fully half the labor. Why notget a pack age of GOLD DUST at your nearest grocer's, and try it after your next meal. You'll thank us for the suggestion. Mad by THE N. K.

Mr. Zlmman was Immediately preceded by JudKe Ben Baker, who spoke only a few moments. He snld he wanted to be the lawyer for the people of Omaha for the next three years, referring to his can didacy for the position of city attorney.

Connell, city ciminlastoner of health, will endeavor to have the water company use a solution of Iron salta and lime to settle the water consumed in Omaha. The com pany has benii using alum, but In Insuffi cient qu&ntltlM, and the waxsr la not much clearer than It Is when It comes from the river. "I visited St. Louis during the June rise a couple of years ago," said Dr. Hippie, "and I was suiirlwd to find the water as clear as crystal. I supposed, of course, that filters w re used, but the manager of the water works told me that filters were not used, but that the water was clared with a solution of iron salts and alum, the Iron salts being secured from the smelters. We have smelters here In Omaha and I think It would be advisable to profit by the experience of St. Louis, which expei-itiict cost the water company in that tl'y many thousand dollars, and use this solution in clearing Omaha's water." -Lm (at iOLD OTSriSeku rw worV Never were there such bargains as these effered in the entire west.

Plscuhslon of the new tariff on works of art among artists and collectors today brought out that fact that the art possessions abroad of one American, J. Plerpont Morgan, represent a monetary value of nearly K "00,000. It la well known that Mr. Morgan Is one of the moat enthu elastic trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and tint the removal of duty duty which has kept his art treasures In London will now permit of their being removed to New York. Among the treasures of Mr. Morgan abroad are Raphael's "Madonna of St. Anthony of Padua," upon which a value of toOO.000 Is placed; Ruben's "Por trait of the Grand Duke," worth 1125,000, and the famous Gainsborough canvas, "Duchess of Devonshire." for which $150, 000 was paid.

Prltchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation; Rlchird Watson Gilder, editor of the Century, and St. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. Senator Depew told Mr. Carnegie that he did not agree with his position on the tar Iff.

Parade dlx Miles I, on. St. Patrick's memory was honored today In New York city by a parade In which I0.0W persons were In line. The parade was more than six milee long. Archbishop aney ana tne neaos of city departments reviewed the parade from a stand. Just prior to the parade a military mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's cathedral. Brooklyn had a celebration all Its own. which cume near eclipsing the Manhattan event. Down on the water front the battery boatmen had their annual marine proces sion. A long line of boats covered from water line to topmast spar with green bunting was on hand at the hour appointed for the parade. The course of the proces sion was from the Battery to the Statue of IJherty and return. There waa a short stop at IJberty Island, where refreshments had been provided for the marines. The crowd Joined In singing the "Wearing of the Gren." Ben liar Plrtarea Knjolaed. The United States circuit court of ap peals, In a decision today, ruled that a moving picture is a "stags representa tion," within the meaning of that term In the copy right law. Ths question arose In a suit brought by Harper A Brothers and Klaw & Rrlanger against the Kalera company, manufacturers of moving pic ture films, to enjoin them from producing exhibitions of "Ben. Hur." The film company, while admitting the 1 scenes pictured were taken from General Ix-w Wallace's hook, urged that the repre sentation was only an "exhibition of pic tures." and not a dramatic performance within the meaning of the copy right law. Trie court's decision holds that In order to produce a moving picture It la necessary to prepare a synopsis or story which Is In efect a dramatisation, and that the author alone has the right to make or authorise a dramatisation.

Park, general superintendent of the Union rsilfic, made an address Tues day night befoit the Western Hallway club In Chicago, menllon of which was made In The Bee Wedi est'a) . Fuller reports show that Mr. Park not only advocated better protection against accidents ttiat arc a blot on the esi utciiron of railroad man agement, but also fi.vored taking the pub lic into the co-t' uence of the railroads to a much greater extent than la now the case. He criticised severely what he termed "whitewashing of railroad sccl dnnts" xnl Is quoted In the Chicago Record-Herald of Wednesday as follows: Mr. Park said the best way 1o reduce railway casualties is to take the public Into the confident e of the rallwas and thereby make the public feel that It has as great a respi.i l'iillty in upholding disci pline on lallroads a It has In upholding the Isw In ordinary affalra of life. Owing to the Influen-e, unconscious, perhnps. of labor unions, the speaker alri, the old time loyalty has gone and the railroads now have a lethargic performance of duty, and "company men" are unpopular with their fellows. For the same reason many officials are timorous In enforcing dis cipline, he said. As for the labor unions, they have Iwen forced upon the employe by petty persecutions and discriminations on the part or railroad officials, according to the spouker, who saw publicity as the only correctiiii for both evils. Many pronilf'tit railway men who ir Interested In the new method which the Harrtman llnr Inaugurated some months ago of Investigating accidents Immediately by means of a board upon which the pub lic Is represented, were among the listeners.

At Fort Leavenworth there are several separate mil itary organizations, as there are at Forts Riley and Russell. At tho other posts there are but single regimental organizations. Speaking of these desertions, Brigadier General Charles Morton, commanding the department, says: "A firm. Just and considerate administra tion of military authority, especially In re lation to recruits and young soldiers, Is most Important. No pains should be spared In acquainting them promptly and fully as to their rights, privileges and obligations as soon as the recruits are received, and In such a way aa to Impress Itself on the mind of the recruit and show him that considera tion of his welfare and of his efficiency go hand in hand. The evil effects of desertion on his personal fortune should be empha sized, as well aa the advantages that must accrue to him from honest and faithful service."
