McCarthy, deputy quartermaster general. United State. Army, chief quar termaster Department of the Missouri But on needn't exhaust his titular vocabulary by calling him all these things, as he wUl readily respond to the saluta tion of Colonel McCarthy, as the rank of lieutenant colonel la likely ta be a short breathing spell between that ef major and a full colonel.

April IX. as Colonel McCarthy waa but 61 fears old yesterday, April 14, Colonel McCarthy Is a graduate of the West Foent Military academy of th class ef 1881.

It la an antiseptic liniment and causes wounds to heal In less time than by any attar treatment. As a part of the general campaign for a etrirter regime of cleanllneaa and care In handling food stuffs. Councilman Kugel will on next Tuesday evening introduce an ordinance to compel grocers to securely protect vegetables, fruits and othr articles from dust, dogs and other contamination when exposed for sale on sidewalks. "If the grocers and email storekeepers handling such things cannot or will not take the pains to keep their stocks of perishable foods clean and wholtwome. they should be compelled to keep them within doors." said Councilman Kugel. "We have no general street sprinkling system In Oma.ii, and all over the city can be seen great piles of vegetables and fruit exposed to every wind that blowa. They naturally must become covered and tainted wtth dust and dint. If nothing worse. It Is a condition that has been permitted too long, and If there la a way to stop It. now la the time to act, with summer com ing on." After Barber Skaas. An ordinance Is being prepared by the city attorney's ofr.ee. at the Instance of Councilman Kugel, that la Intended to make the barber shops of Omaha sanitary and clean' all the year round. . The ordinance will provide that barber colleges must put out signs showing just what they are, so that people wanting hlgh-elaee barber work done will not get Into practice shops. The ordinance wtll also give the health commissioner general supervision over the barber simps in the matter of cleanllneaa and sanitation. Councilman Kugel aaya the proposed or dinance Is the outcome of complaints that have been msds against carelessness on the part of barbers running shops tn cer tain sections of the city. "1 believe the barbers will welcome the law," aaid Mr. Kugel. "It may bit a sore spot hers and there, but every barber shop should be kept In apple pie order, and to do so will mean Increased trade for ail." .

"No," aaid the attorney, I mean your papers from the court." . Mr. Hlrschman sat silent in thought for a minute and then answered. v "I get my papers the time I get my old woman, the license you mean?"

Yellow Dandelions Called Daisies by the Minister Rev. S. Scott Hyde 'Waxes Eloquent Over the Beauties of Spring' in Nebraska. How far should a theological student specialise In botany? Also Is a minister really supposed to know what a daisy la? Rev. FL Scott Hyde, pastor of Hanacom Park Methodist church, is not exactly cer tain as to the first question, but he Is now positive with reference to the second. It wss one of the soulful, bright Sunday mornings, when, aa Kipling says, "the great warm earth seemed to purr." Rev. Scott Hyde was sdjreealng his congrega tion on the beauties and Inspiration of the season. "And. aa I came down to the chureh thia morning, the budding sprlngtlma seemed to fill the air with Its fragrance. Sitting on the green award of the park I saw two innocent little children, happv at their play, plucking daisies from the sod." Daisies, mind you, and a week ago Sun day, f One of those undercurrents of amuse ment which Starrs wtth a grin, softens Into a smile and aptlls out in a titter swept over the congregation. The minister looked grieved and per plexed. It waa really a vary pretty spech and why should they take It aa a source of merriment, even though It be modestly suppressed? However, he continued un daunted and finished hia word painting, putting in the daisies wherever they would look good. On the following Sunday he found await ing him In the study at the church a box from a fashionable florist's shop. He opened It, to find a. chain of little yellow blossoms, tied with a nifty lemon colored ribbon. , "Daisies, the flowerets that bloom in th springtime," an attached card read. "Merely dandelions," at last declared the preacher. Then the great light broke In. In the pulpit last Sunday he sought to set It aright. Those were daisy little, little, little panstes." he exclaimed, reaching for the elusive dandelion. I to to to Undecided About Your Spring Suit?

Baboin. a bartender in the Northwest ern saloon waa arraigned before Judge Crawford yesterday on a charge of selling liquor to an Indian.

' ' Members of the Webraaka State Board of Optometry are holding a meeting in Omaha and expressing their views of Gov ernor Bhallenherger with respect to a re cent executive order. "Governor Shall en berger seema to be more concern d about currying political favor than protecting Nebraskan's eyes." declared J. C. Huteeon of Omaha. C. C. Mo Leeae of Davenport, president of the board, echoed the Omahan's views. "There is a state law," explained Mr. Mo Lees, "regarding optometry whereby two classes of optiuians were created. One by exemption, the other by examination. The men who had been selling- eye glaaees and apectacles two years previous to the enact ment of the law were made exempt and the law provides that certificates of exemption be granted theae. We found that the county fair fakirs were getting these certificates of exemption and going out Into the country ana saying: 'See, the stats of Nebraska la sending ua out to aell eye glasses.'. Thereupon the board marked all certificates of this class wtth a rubber stamp as fallows: " The State Board of Optometry does not guarantee the competency of the holder of this certificate." "It is this which the governor revoked by order and without giving ua a hearing on the matter." the buildings obscure the view. They should keep on the right side and out on the walk Instead of squeeaing up against the walls. "Then out In. the residence districts the 'lay walker gets a chance to break out again. Nearly every corner where there la a parking shows his footprints la a path cut across the grass, tilt It is ail beaten out." Comet Here, but Out of Sight Heary Clouds Overcasting Skies of Early Marninj Obscure Approach of Celestial Messenger.

The comet will continue 'the rise befure the sun at a constantly decreasing inter val. The one grand performance of the comet wtll come on May 18. when the earth through the comet a tall. Strange Sights for Crippled Girl Xiss Selma Chlfs, Who Has Been Out of the House but Four Times, . ia Astounded. Bright as are the decorations and general appearance In the Bee building rotunda today, there is a girt present who out shines it all. She is Miss Selma Ohlfs of South Omaha, who has spent all the wak ing hours of twenty-four years In a wheel chair. City Engineer Craig sent the big city automobile down to bring- Miss Ohlfs to the associated Charities bazar. She had to bring her chair along, for ahe la selling the artistic products of her hands to the visitors at the bazar. When Chauffeur Fred Swain brought the automobile into the business district Miss Ohlfs, began to open her eyes. This was one of three or four times she had ever been away from her home further than a block. The dressed figures of women in the store windows attracted and held her attention. When It waa explained to her that they were merely lay figures, ahe ex claimed. "Why, I thought they- were real iadlea." Getting a glimpse of the new City National bank building. Miss Ohlfs was again stirred to amazement. "My, what a big- building; t didn't know they ever built stores that high." So it went at every turn the machine made on the way to the Bee building. When ahe waa brought Into the great cen tral court where the bazar la being held she waa simply entranced with delight. All day long thia girt; so sorely afflicted seemingly, proved what had been said of ner. that she la one of the happiest girls to be found anywhere. In her little chair ahe moves about the tables occasionally, and baa made friends of all who have met her. Her artificial fruit' and needle work ia tn big; demand. This experience of Miss Ohlfs can be likened to nothing In every day life. She le seeing a new world wlUn keen delight and every moment brings bar some new pleasure. County Assessor Shrivcris Angry Says the Electire Deputy Assessor is Bad, as Deputies Feather Their ffesta. County assessor Bhriver Is grieved, per plexed, pained and angry. He would like to take a state law and obliterate It, and ha would like to sink an axe into the of ficial necks of a large number of hla as siatants, the deputy assessors. The law ta the ene which makes the deputy assessorship an elective position. "Its result." said Mr. Sh river to the Board of County Commissioners Friday, "la that some of the deputies are plainly feathering their own political nests by making light assessments. Returns are coming in with total valuations only S per cent of what they were last year and the year before. "It la left to me to raise them all. with the upshot that the resulting soreness ia against ma personally.. "First and foremast there is a threat ened loss of considerable revenue to the county." Mr. Shrlver did not complain to the board with any Idea that the commissioners can remedy- matters, for the elected deputies cannot be removed from office except by Impeachment proceedings, which are almost out of the question. Shrlver' a Idea hi talking to the board is to let the county commissioners know that when they sit as members, of the Board of Equalisation they, aa well aa ha, will have the unpleasant task of boosting a good many assessments. Not ail the deputies are thus complained of. but there are a good many who are turning hi these preposterously low re turns. ."It ,1a- unfair, moreover. adds- Mr. Shrlver. "to those men who are paying- full tues, or practically so." Trarnor Steps Out of Office Five Candidates ia the Field for the Position Made Vacant by TScvr Mayor. The Board of County Commissioners to cepted the resignation of Commissi one Ttainor. now mayor of South Omaha. To succeed Mr. Trainee there are five active candidates from the district. These sre John Troutan, now a city inspector; John SchulU, defeated candidate for city treasurer at the recent election; F. O. Johnson, contractor; Swan Larson, former councilman, and J. C. Gibson, a real estate dealer, all of South Omaha. County Treasurer Furay and County Clerk Havoriy say that until the return of County Judges Leslie next week, they will make no promises to any one toward flillps the vacancy.
