Several of the Broadway groceryraen,
butchere and provision dealers are uniting
upon what promlaes to be an effective plan
for destroying the million of fllea that
bank on (he sunny side of the street and
take advantage of every opportunity to
sneak Into the stores. Masses of well
wetted fly paper and epongea soaked with
arsenical poison solutions are placed In aafe
placea outalde the stores, and the fllea that
are on the waiting Hat eagerly alp up the
liquid when they get hungry and thirsty.
The result Is swift and oertaln, and the
clerks relieve eaoh other In the work of
weeping up the d.-ad files and keeping the
sidewalk clear.
The polnon potlona were placed In many
Invisible nooks Sunday and the millions of
fllea that were bussing about the closed
doorways all day were slaughtered by
wholesale. In some of the entrywaya the
dead Insects could have been gathered up
by shovels, and In many places the pave
ment was black with the bodies. Those who
are trying the experiment and about ail
who have observed lta effect are confident
that If all the business houses In the grocery
district would join In the work the fly prob
lem would be pretty nearly aolved.

' Mineola,
It Is now a very grave queetlon whether
any woman or other person can legally ap
pear In public or even on the moet se
cluded street In Council Bluffs, wearing a
peek-a-boo waist, or a modeetly pronounced
decollete costume and escape the danger of
arrest and pnulshment by Imprisonment or
fine to the extent of at least thirty days
or $100. At least that appears to be
strong probability If one of the five new
ordinances rushed through the city oouncll
last night under suspension of the rules
ahould be rigidly construed by Police Judge
Snyder or hla successors.
The council last evening began the work
of passing amended and emended ordl
nances that City Solicitor Kimball waa In
structed to prepare In the hope that con'
Mictions can be seoured for ordinary mis-
demeanors that will not be reversed In the
higher courts on the grounds tbat the olty
ordinances under which the prosecutions
are brought are In conflict with the state's
laws.
Five of the large baton In contemplation
were quickly put through the mill and the
other would have been Included It City
Solicitor Kimball's typewriter girl had not
aoctdentently omitted a penalty clause In
her haste to copy the voluminous doou
ments In time for presentation. All the
ordinance adapted repeal all others con
flicting with them and the whole batch
were very skillfully and carefully drawn to
meet the bad conditions that have pre
vailed to prevent the police oourt maintain
ing prosecutions for scores of mlsdemean
ore. A section of the "peek-a-boo" ordinance
aays: "Whoever shall willfully appear In
any open place, or before any assembly of
peop'.-j clad In Insufficient garments, or In
t!is attire of the sex opposite that of the
wearer, or any dress or attire exposing the
form as to create disorder or disturbance."
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall
be fined or Imprisoned. This ordloanoe,
however, Is meant to provide punishment
for a number of obnoxious things and to
permit prosecution under city laws of per
sona found wearing the wrong kind of
olothee. The old ordinance governing such
things waa Inoperative on aocount of con
flict with state laws.
Other ordinances define vagrancy, dis
turbances, drinking in public places this
one especially relating to "can rushers"
and hobo parties and others to defining
"disorderly houses and their inmates," who
have been Immunu from punishment under
the old ordinance whenever they took the
trouble to appeal from polloe court Judg
ment. The work of making new city laws
that are believed to be strong enough to
withstand the high court interpretation Is
to be continued until all of the defective
ones are eliminated.
A resolution was passed authorising the
water and gas companies to use the con
duits on the new Benton street bridge for
carrying their mains across Indian creek.
A large batch of cement sidewalks in the
Fourth ward were cut from the contracts
at the request of Alderman Evans. Cross
streets on Eleventh, Eighteenth, Twenty
intra ana i wen y-iourtn avenues were
affected.
The. council referred the protest of B. i
Abbott and others against the paving of
Damon street to the committee of the
whole.

vlded for no streets. The latter addition
In the vicinity of Forty-second and
streets.
A petition- was received for the grading
of N street from Twentieth to Sixteenth

of filling this hollow would probably be
216,000. Petitions were also received for
the paving and grading of U street west
of Thirtieth to Thirty-sixth atreet
The city council finally purchased the
fire hall site at Thirty-third and K streets
from Thomas Gillespie for the sum of
$1,200. This was a reduction of $300 on his
former bid. This action of the council may
raise a protest on the part of the other
bidders.
Dan Hannon was low bidder on the con
tract to grade Y street. He offered to 4
the grading at 18 cents per yard. Con
don A Griffith bid 21 cents for the same
contract.
Board to Raise Assessment.
Tha board of review, which Is In session
during the week, has voted affirmatively on
proposed raising of the., assessed valua
tion on all the packing houses, the Union
Stock Yards company, the Omaha Gas com
pany, the Omaha Electric Light and Power
company and tha Jetter Brewing company.
The city attorney was Instructed to draw
up the proper notice to the sbove companies
to appear before the board during tile
time of Its session and show cause why
they should not be raised. The county
asseeaors reduced the assessment of these
companies and It .Is advanced In support of
the above action the South Omaha board
Is simply restoring the valuation In oper
ation last year. The increase In valuation
will, therefore, amount to about $600,000 to
possibly $1,000,000. The several companies
Involved will meet with the board on dif
ferent days during the present week to sub
mit evidence bearing on the valuation of
property.
The board also paaaed a resolution to the
effect that the South Omaha saloon keep
ers should not be tsxed on their license
such as has been done In previous years.
The tax on the license has amounted to
about $10 on each license.
The adjudication of aaaessments on a few
pieces of private property was all the fur
ther session of the board covered.

thla:
"Just Imagine yourselves up In an aero

200, with the addition of numerous guests
of members, had braved the perils of tbe
den. Through Amos, literally, they had
entered Into a true fellowship, with all the
benefits accruing therefrom, with the Uvest
bunch of hostlers In tbe state of Nebraska,
and they were not to oe cheated out of a
speech by the air king Just because he was
a little modest.
J. C. Mars of the Curtlss aviating staff.
officially represented the "Curtlss aggrega,
tlon," as he termed It, and spoke for the
whole crowd, thanking Omaha for Its hos
pitable reception.
H. E. Palmer, veteran Insurance man of
Nebraska, spoke for the visiting agents In
expressing their appreciation of King Ak-
Sar-Ben's circus, and welcomed the non
residents on behalf o fthe Omaha agents.
L. B. Clark, an Insurance man of Lin
coin, said he felt honored to be allowed to
appear before the knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
'It Is Just such enterprise as this, he said,
that has built up your city to what It Is
at tha present time.
Rev. Mr. Connelly of Springfield, Neb.,
said: "I am glad to be with this bunch
of men who bave done so much for
the good of tha state of Nebraaka. I" pre
diet that the time la not far distant when
Omaha will mount to Its proper place, high
up In the Hat of the nation's greatest
oltiea."
Ak-ear-Ben's membership has climbed to
an even i,bw, with more yet to come.
George S. Powell, master of ceremonies for
the evening, announced this figure and at
the same time made a comparison with the
Hat at this time last year. In 1908 the or
ganisation consisted of knights to the num
ber of only 862. At the close of the season
last year the total was 1,810, just 10 more
than the present number,
GRATEFUL MOTHER
TELLS OF LITTLE
It Is solely due to Otto Mais, first-class
private of tha signal corps! that there Is a
No. 12 government- balloon I1n Jdatence,
surviving the wind that "rlpiled It away
from Its moorings at the aviation field yes
terday. Caught In a tangle of rbpes while
at work under the big silk envelope when
It waa lifted and torn from the earth by
the wind, Mais grasped the rip cord with
rare presence of mind and Jerked the escape
valve open so that the gas might leave
the envelope and save the balloon from an
unguided Journey to destruction.
Had Mala not opened the valve the great
balloon would have risen to vagueness In
the sky and disappeared a month before
the gas lost Its lifting quality and let It
drop.
When the balloon was seen to be akld
aing across tne neid at a terrirto rate a
dosen soldiers set out In hot pursuit and
raced after It to the tree beyond the south
west fence. Mala worked himself loose
from the dragging ropes after being pulled
for a distance of thirty feet
With the gas spurting from the valve at
full vent the envelope fast lost Its shape
and became an Inert mass of silk when It
brought up among the trees.
The soldiers took their unhandy toy back
to tha fort, and the announcement was
made that It would be repaired during the
night for a certain trial according to aero,
nautlo rules Tuesday. .

Am a greatful mother I feel It my duty to thank: you (or
the cure of my little son who waa afflicted for about eight
months with sores all over tig head, back of his neck and
nearly all hla face. We tried all kinds ot remedies without
any relief. We even employed a good physlolan and I am
sure be tried hla very best to cure my poor suffering lylttle
boy. But, alast instead of getting better he went for the
worse. His head was literally covered with scabs and ugly '
sores and his cries kept us awake throughout the long
night. I had to keep his bands in gloves to prevent his
scratching his head, as he was doubtless suffering from a
burning and itching sensation and was constantly trying
to put his hands where it hurt.
At last when he was about three years old, we saw an
advertisement of Cuticura and decided to try the virtues of
the Cuticura R-medles. I bought one cake of Cuticura
Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle ot Cuticura
RevolvenU I used them according to directions and am
happy to tell you the little sufferer was cured in less than
three weeks. This was over a year ago and now bis head is
covered with a fine growth of luxuriant hair. Strange to
say, all those unsightly sores did not even leave a scar.
