Among the newest organisations of Omaha women and one from which much Is hoped and expected. Is the Omaha Story tellers' league, a, branch of the national lesgue. II wss organised Ust month and Its object Is to elevate the standard of children's literature and eliminate the un desirable story and the taste for It, aa far as possible. The influence of the bonks they read upon children. Is fully appre ciated by all who have made a study of children, but It Is a surprising fact that comparatively few parents and by no means atl teachers realize It. It is the purpose of the league to Interest mothera and teach eera with the Idea of having them organlie similar clubs to paaa on the desirable In fluence. The Omaha leagtfe haa at present sixteen members, most of whom are teach ers, and for the present until members are stronger In the work this number will not be Increased. The club Is officered by Miss Grace Miner, president, and Miss Isabello Graham, secretary-treasurer. Arrangement haa been made for the club to present a program at the East Central Nebraska Teachers' association meeting, to be held In the audi ence room of the Omaha library Friday, April 2. Miss Kate Swartzlander of the li brary will give a story on .that occasion. The members of the club have taken charge of the Sunday afternoon story tell ing hour at the Social Settlement and In dividual members are contributing to the Thursdsy evening and Frldsy afternoon story telling hours at the settlement, The meetings of the club are held the first and third Thursdays of each month and besides the officers there Is a board. In cluding Mrs. Ortetta Chittenden, supervisor of kindergartens in the city schools; Miss Kate Swnrtxlander of the public library chlldren'a department, and Miss Margaret Hamilton, kindergarten Instructor.

Why we need a uniform food and drug law In the several states should be clearly evident, writes the chairman of the General Federation's pure food committee In her March message to clubdom. First. At the .present time there are scarcely two atates where the food laws are the same. Often they differ markedly. Such wide differences work hardships upon the manufacturers and Jobbers who do business In a number of states. The enact-' ment of uniform food laws throughout the states would enable the manufacturers to use the same label wherever their goods are to be sold. It would reduce the cost of manufacturing, labelling and distributing of food products. Second. As it now stands, those states with comprehensive pure food laws pro hibit the sale of inferior, mlsbranded and adulterated foods. This limits, but does not destroy, their market; and the manufac turers may still carry on a harmful busi ness, using the unprotected states aa a dumping ground. Third. With uniform food laws the mass of legal decisions growing up In the dif ferent' states become universally applica ble, a point established in one state stands good in all and much costly and tedious litigation Is saved. The model food law bill, prepared by a committee appointed by the National As sociation of State Food and Dairy depart ments, has heen drafted with care to in clude the best and most effectual features of the various state laws and In harmony throughout with the requirements of the national law. It has practically the fea tures of the national raw. with the excep tion In the clause of the national law where it says. "No deleterious Ingredient shall be used In the preparation or manu facture of food." The model food law has enumerated those Ingredients which are recognised as deleterious and are so held under the majority of the state laws. It also makes the standards, as prepared by Department of Agriculture, the official agricultural chemists and the National Food and Dairy department, a part of the law Itself, thus making It no longer neces sary for the courts to pass upon each par ticular f roduct as to whether it is up to the standard or not. Tills does not preclude the ale of any other product of a lower degree of strength than the standard, pro viding It be labelled to show the fact. The model food lsw does not provide for the guarantee clause, as In the national raw, for In a case tried in Pennsylvania, where the clause was Included n the law, It was shown to be unconstitutional, since the states clearly have no power to reach the manufacturers outside of the state who do business within the state. However, each state may make provisions for a hear ing In all rases where there is a violation of the food law, thus Affording an oppor tunity for the manufacturers to be heard should they so desire. The social science department of the Woman's club will hold its regular meet Ing at 8 o'clock Monday afternoon In the aat parlor of the First Congregational church. T. W. McCullough, managing ed itor of The Bee. will speak of "The In fluence of Trades Unionism on the Social Movement." Owing to the general inter est In this subject and Its Importance, the meeting will be open to all Interested.

To the Editor of The Bee: We would like to make public the facts In connection with the discharge of the teamster now under arrest for setting fire to our north yard last Wednesday night and regarding the deduction or charge of $2.25 to which his malice has been attributed. All of our teamsters agree to a set of reasonable, printed rules when they enter our employ. One of these is: "Drivers will 'be held responsible for any damage to their outfits resulting from their own incompetence, carelessness or recklessness." Another rule is: "When drivers carelessly or wilfully disobey these rules, or fall in the performance of their duty, we reserve the right to assess against their wages such reasonable fines ss the circumstances of the case may warrant." Tills teamster started out early in the morning with a team, wagon and load of brick. Upon reaching his destination he disobeyed plain Instructions, got stuck in the mud, broke the wagon and harness, grossly Insulted find angered our customer and did not return to the yard again until dark. The delivery should have been made In not more than four hours.' If the actual damage had ben assessed against the teamster. It would have tieen many times the amount deducted from his wages. This company Is always more than fair with Its drivers, and the justice of this transaction is shown In the fact that after the north yard superintendent entered the charge It was Investigated and approved by the chief clerk and later was thoroughly considered and approved by the president of the company. We appreciate the quick work of the police department in securing the prompt arrest and complete confession Of the in cendiary. SUNDERLAND BROTHERS COMPANY. Mr. Bewsher's Figures. OMAHA. March 20. To the Editor of The Bee: With reference to an article appearing in your issue of this morn ing, signed "L. P. Roberts," criticising the, writer's estimate of farm reserves of wheat, we beg to state that we thor oughly agree with Mr. Roberts In his statement that there should have betn no deduction made from my figures for seed. In fact, there was no deduction made by me; the 6 per cent deduction appearing In your article reporting rr.y report was evidently made by your re porter. The conclusions were the ideas of your reporter and not mine. These conclusions, I am very sorry to say, had the effect In a great many Instances of making the report appear ridiculous, par ticularly to those who knew that the wheat crop of Nebraska was almost wholly a winter crop and the crop of this year having long since been In the ground. Yours truly. A. H. BEWSHER. Protest Against Jim's Pardons. OMAHA, March 20. To the Editor of The Bee: When a man who persists in living outside of the law interferes wltn law-abiding clttsens and is taken oefore the bar of justice and fined and the city mayor disregards the law and pardons or remits such fine, as he has recently done. It is time that every cltlsen, be he demo crat or republican, unite and rid the city of this modern Goliath of authority and we will have peace. J. ENGELMAN. STRANGE FREAK OF A STORM Also Ortlflcate of Veracity for the Man Who Piped it Off. A Pine Knot (Ky.) newspaper correspond ent tells of a surprising Incident In connec tion with a storm that swept over Martin county. Kentucky, by which Rolling Fork creek In that county was lifted from Its bed by a tornado and every drop of water in the entire length of the creek carried half a mile before the wind let go. The ribbon of water, held In the air In Its ortg Inal form by the remarkable wind, waa then deposited or tossed Into a hill, and flowed down Into the valley, forming a complete lake, which then began draining through a river In a torrent of such volume that Its roaring could be heard for miles. Stock caught In the torrent was drowned and several people caught in the rush of the waters thus transplanted had narrow es capes from being drowned and carried away. Wind and rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, had been extreme during the storm, so that people were not surprised at any remarkable achievement of the storm. The creek bed was absolutely dry until the little spring where the stream starts could begin replenishing the stream. The creek ran along near the top of a ridge, and when it was literally picked up by the wind It wss bodily carried across to the next ledge half a mile south, and left to form a lake In the crevasses. It Is be lieved that the wind swept under the water between the water and the supporting soil, and so had little difficulty, owing to Its volume and apeed. In carrying the stream for the half mile It traveled. Many peo ple who did not see It done have expressed some doubts as to Its truth, but the cor respondent Is a man of veracity and could gain nothing by stating such a thing If It had riot occurred. Ananias Courier. Quick Action for Tour Money Ton get that by using Th. Be. advertising columns. M aking There is no way of making lasting friends like "Making Good ; and Dr. Pierce s medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest square-deal med'ene of known composition is ' Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations 'that came into prominence in the earlier period of its popularity have "gone by the board" and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given a tair trial tor weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived, and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with Its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing Is s good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper no secret, no hocus-pocus, hum bug, therefore don't auett a substitute that the dealer may make a little bigger pront.

NO APOLOGIES TO HIS ENEMIES States Clearly What He gtands for and What Voters Can Rxpect of II I m If He Is Placed In the Mayor's Chair. Harry B. Zlmman, candidate for the nomination for mayor on the republican ticket, answered some of the misstatements whioh have been made against him during the last week, when he spoke at the cltl tens' meeting In the Second ward, at Eighteenth and Vinton streets, Saturday night He first branded as a coward any one who would put out an unsigned cir cular maligning a political opponent and he then answered the charge that he was a rolltlcal faker on the trtand he had taken on the Locust street viaduct question, and finally he showed up the misstatements which had been made concerning his posi tion on the market house question. Mr. Zlmman said that he had been against a viaduct over Locust street some years ago because he did not think the travel had demanded a viaduct at that point, but since Mrs. Levi Carter had given the money to buy the-park on the lake front he had changed tils opinion and had so voted. He denied the responsibility for the msrket house in Us present location, but said he had voted for it in order that a $20,000 market house might be built in stead of having the city spend $310,000 on an experimental market house as was at first proposed. I ' Not Afraid of Criticism, "As the campaign progresses and the op ponents begin to be seised with remorse I expect many Such slanderous charges to be made." said Mr. Zlmman. "I am not afraid of criticism. I have built up n large number of enemies and I am glad I have them. I would not trade a handful of my friends for 10.000 enemies. 'I would rather go down In defeat. standing for the things which I stand for than to compromise with the people I am fighting and be elected mayor of Omaha. I hare had a chance to compromise on these propositions, but that Is not the way I fight. When I am elected to the office of mayor I will give the city relief from some of the burdens of taxation. That Is the aim o the occupation tax, for which I stand and which is in my plat form. If my opponents do not wish to declare themselves and tell where they stand on the main Issues of the cam paign, let them desist from trying to poke fun at those who choose to declare themselves. Is it wrong to ask a candi date to a public office where he stands on the questions at Issue? I do not think so. The president of the United States has a platform on which he stood for elec tion. "The city of Omaha needs 1250,000 more next year to run the city government. We can raise this money without taxing the people one cent more of It. Are vou In favor of It T 'Some of my political opponents are try ing to mislead the pepple as to the mean ing oi an occupation tax by saying that It Is proposed to tax a man's occupation. That Is not the mesnlng at all. It simply means to make the big corporations which enjoy special privileges' and who have the use of the streets of Omaha for their tracks and underground wires and over head wires, pay for the privilege of occupy ing our streets." Other Candidates Talk. Dave Bhanahan was chairman of the meeting and Introduced the nine candidates for the city council from the Ninth , ward, all of whom made a few remarks. Dr. B. Holovtschlner and Mike Lee gave their for mer records aa public servants and asked to be returned to the city hall that thty might continue their work of aiding the southern part of the city. After Mr. Zlmman had spoken, Beeuher Hlgby and Bam K. Oreenleaf, candidates for city clerk, and John J. Ryder, candi date for councilman from the Ninth ward' and W. B. Christie were called upon for a few remarks. v At the close of Mr. Zlmman'a remarks some individual asked him to answer the question as to 'where he stood on the ques tion of personal liberty. Mr. Zlmman re plied that he thought his record of nine years in the city council would show that he had never done a thing to Interfere with the personal liberties of any person. A Bellsrlons Awrhorm Statement. Rev. Joseph H. Pe&perman, Salisbury, N. C, who Is the author of several books, writes: "Tor several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddsnly stricken with a severe pain la my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days unable to get up without assistance.

The mayor says in his statement that he believes his large acquaintance throughout the state has tended to ad vertise Oinaha to good advantage. He also takes credit for the donations inado the Clarkson hospital on "tag day" by setting aside such a day, and the advice of the city engineer Is not mentioned In his corralling of all the credit for vetoing the Izard street sewer project, which re sulted in a saving to the taxpayers. "After we lick you to a finish, will you support the democratic nominee?" la the question he fires at "those who are In strumental In bringing a candidate in the field" against him. "We, stand ready to support the ticket If you lick us. Come out In the open and answer this fair and square. Many of my friends believe your fight Is not in good faith.
