Inspector Scully Tuesday morning at least

Inspector ' Scully had complaints against
three milkmen for selling Impure milk and
he waited around police court all morning
to have the cases tried. He had neglected
to see City Prosecutor Dickinson about
the cases before court convened and
tell him what he wanted, so the Judge, hav
ing his hands full of other business, would
not hav anything to do with th Inspec
tor's complaints until after court adjourned.
.Scully, being forced to wait the prosecutor'-
leisure, was slightly ruffled and shot
a few angry words at the prosecutor. Bhot
for. shot was returned until the prosecutor
walked out of the court room, telling
Scully the cases could be filed at the
proper place.
Inspector Scully had complaints against
A. Chrlstensen, Avenue M, East Omaha;
C. H. Bow ley, Benson, and Chris Jorgeuaen,
4013 Grant street, for selling impure milk.
Th milk had been analyzed by Prof. Crow

of embesilement, but the complaint could
never b obtained In Denver on that charge,
and h wa released, bringing suit soon

Thinks Rockford
Will Go Wet Again
Jacob Franks, President of Watch
Company, Expects to See Pro
hibition Defeated.
"Rockford Is npl unlikely to vote 'wet'
again," said Jacob Franks, president of
th Rockford Watch company, her in at
tendance on th Jeweler' convention. "The
experiment ha not been altogether sat
isfactory to some of us who originally fa
vored prohibition ther. Workmen In our
faotory used to be in bad shape Monday
when th saloons ran and we thought that
a dry town would obviate thla.
"Th trouble ha been, however, that
they go to nearby town where they
can get liquor and stay there until their
money Is all gone, losing a good de.' more
time than under the old . regime. Then
again, a good many mechanic refuse to
com te live In a place where they cannot
get a glass of beer if they want It.

LARGE CLASSES STUDY THE
GREGORIAN STYLE OF MUSIC
Members of All Catholic Chareh
Choir In Two Omaha Take
the Lessons.
The attendance that haa thus far
greeted the Gregorian summer school at
Bl Mary Magdalene' hall. Nineteenth and
Dodge streets, has more than met the an
ticipations of the Instructors. A class of
forty-five constitutes the morning organ
ists' school, with about twenty at the aft
ernoon school and 170 at the evening sing
ing classes. These singing classes come
from all the Catholic choir of Omaha and
South Omaha churches and the singers are
enthusiastic in th work. Father Gregory
Huegle, O. 9. B., is the teacher of accom
paniments and Father Blglsbert BurkhardT
O. S. B., teacher of singing.
"The first idea of th school Is to pro
duce true church music, not sensual or
operatic and still not merely religious, but
It must be liturgical and related to the
sacrificial mass, with the sacrificial Idea
ever present," said Father Huegle.
"It was Motu Proprlo, who on November
22, 1903, gave the true Idea of the Gre
gorian chant, which is the standard by
which all Catholic church music must be
measured. Th pop has decreed that the
Gregorian chant must be the principal fea
ture of the repertoire of Cathollo church
muslo a far as posutble. The Idea I to
divest tt of nationality and make It uni
versalcatholic. It 1 divested of meas
ured technique, but is specially auditory
and declamatory. The ultimate hope Is
to Induce congregational hinging. The Idea
is not a new one, but simply a restoration
of the old oongregatlonal idea of 'singing
that prevailed in the Catholic church uni
versally prior to the fourteenth century."
