II 1 settled on yet Tho departure of Mr. Cummings Is re gretted alike by the board, the superin tendent and the patrons of the school. He came here fresh from Chicago uni versity, where he was working for his doctor's degree. From the time of his arrival Prof. Cummings has worked to build up a strong and efficient school organization In the high school of South Omaha. That he has succeeded Is testi fied to by the board, which offered him a considerable increase to remain. "I j am sorry to leave South Omaha," said Mr. Cummings last night. "My relations j with every one here have been most pleasant. But I felt I could not refuse the large Increase of salary that was of fered me by Flathead county, even though the board offered me considerable raise over my present salary." There has been considerable comment on the practice In South. Omaha, of keeping the salaries of the beat men within such stringent bounds. Superintendent Gra ham has been urged to accept other su perintendences at an Increase over his present salary. So far he has resisted the offers. Prof. H. II. Johron, head of the commercial department of the high Echool4 leaves this year to accept a posi tion with a large Increase of salary. He was recognized as one of the best men In his department. Miss Eva O'Sulllvan left under similar circumstances two years BRO. Morrlwiry to Tnllc Here. A. M. Morrlssey, secretary to Governor John Morehead, will be the Fourth of July orntor In South Omaha, according to word received yesterday by Jeremiah Howard of South Omaha. Tho gov ernor's secretary In his letter of accept ance advised the committee that ho had not a reputation as an orator, but that he would do his best. The affair Is un der the auspices of the Sons of Lib irty. The program will be given on tho high school grounds. The Invocation will be given by Rev. M. J. Gluba and the benediction by Rev. Dr. R. L. Wheeler. There will also be a band concert. An Irish-American club has been organ ized and wllj Join In the celebration at the high' school grounds. Mclclirr to Show Proof, After a man has held one of the highest offices In the city for two terms and been a wheel horse of the democratic party It is embarrassing, not to say exasperating to have a young clerk de mand your naturalization papers In proof iof your citizenship. Vet this Is what hap pened to Chris Melcher, twice elected city treasurer of South Omaha. Prominent in business circles for twenty-five years, well known In democratic ranks and highly regarded by all who know him, Chris casoally dropped off at the county court house the other day and offered to register at the office of Election Commis sioner Moorhead. "Name," said the clerk, "age, business, Residence?" "Where were you born?", asked the In quisitor. "Germany," smiled Chris. "Naturalized?" asked the clerk. "Oh, yes," said Chris, "my father was, you know, and I was under 12 years of age, and so that makes mo a citizen?" went on Chris. "Nothing doing." waved the clerk. Then Chris got mad. He expatiated at ' length on laws In general and the new election laws In particular. He ended by promising to get out naturalization papers himself In order to get the right to v6te against tho new election laws. Other men complain also. John Burns, who has voted the democratic ticket straight for sixty-five years, was In formed that he could not register until hn had become a citizen. He left the office hastily, lest he lose his temper, he raid. School IJonrd Secretnrynhlp. With the organization of the new school board Tuesday there comes the annual fight over the secretaryship. Three can didates are In the field, with a fourth In the offing, so to speak. The three candi dates are James P. Sullivan, present In cumbent; Fred Mower and Frank Dwnrak. John Sexton, jr., has also been mentioned. According to inside dope yesterday, the lineup will be about as follows: ' Fitzgerald for Sullivan, Leigh for .

Word was received here yesterday that the .government Inspectors at the differ ent packing houses have had their sal aries Increased from $1,000 a year to $1,200 a year.

When Walter Thomas, an insurance agent living at No. 456 Classon avenue, Brookyln, was arraigned before Judgo O'Sulllvan in Part V of-Qeneral Sessions, New York, for sentence on a conviction of burglary, the usual biographical ques tions were put to him, and he said that he had never before been convicted. Judge O'Sulllvan then handed him a let ter from Scotland Yard, containing a description of himself, along with a pho tograph, and stating that he had served Beveral terms In English penal institu tions. He also handed Thomas a letter from the warden of the Illinois state penitentiary at Jollet, 111., also contain ing a phograph and description of him, and saying that he had served a term there for a felony. 1 i Thomas broke down after reading the two letters, and admitted that they were true. He was arrested tho last time on February 2, in the Transit building, No. 5 East Forty-secqnd street, by James Darren, the superintendent of the build ing, who turned him over to Detective Van Twistern of the East Fifty-first street station, charging htm with having robbed a number of the offices In the building. He was tled last week and his remarkable criminal bent, coupled with a liking for respectable society and companionship, was brought out. After sentencing him to a straight term of four and a half years in Sing Sing, Judge O'Sulllvan said to Thomas: "Yours Is one of the strangest cases that has ever come before this court. On six days of the week you were an honest Industrious, conscientious citizen, a Dr. Jekyl, earning a good salary, and asso ciating with decent people; and on the seventh day that you were brought up to revere, you were a Mr. Hyde. "You devoted the morninc of that day to God, teaching in a Sunday school and instructing young people as to the ways they should tread. But in thq afternoon and evening of that Sabbath day, you de voted your time to stealing. 'You are one man in a million. Going to prison with the good will of those who believe you, despite the fact that you are a hardened criminal, you succeeded In drawing to you a cultured, refined young woman. She was willing to marry you, and has written me and begged me to give you a suspended sentence In order that she may marry you, She believes tint her Influence would have a reforma tory effect upon you, but I do not see it In that light. You have thrown a shadow across her life that will remain forever." When Thomas was arrested he had In his possession J30 worth of postage stamps and 42 in cash, a screw driver, and a "jimmy" of peculiar make, which the ex perts at pollco headquarters said was a distinctly English Implement. Because of the discovery of this English "Jimmy," Scotland Yard was communicated with and a description of Thomas waa sent here. New York Ppst. Costly 'Treatment. "I was troubled wltn constipation and Indigestion and spent hundreds of dol lars for medicine and treatment,' writes C. H. Hlnes of Whitlow, Ark. "I went to a St Louis hospital, also to a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure was effected. On returning home I began taking Cham berlain's Tablets, and worked right along. I used them for some time and am now all right." For sale by all druggists. Advertisement. Oriental Politicians. A Manila newspaper, the Cable-News American, which follows oriental affairs closely, calls attention to an amusing difference between Chinese and American politics. In China no sooner la a man mentioned for high office than he depre cating!)' calls attention to his own un worthiness and suggests a more suitable candidate. If absolutely forced to ac cept, like Yuan 8hl Kai, it Is necessary to state an ardent desire to relinquish the cares of office and return to the Joys of perusing the Chinese classics in the serenity of private life. So far from de manding a third cup of tea' the Chinese politician is required by etiquette to wave aside even the first. 'llnd Paid for Them.

CHANCES 0FJ-IFE IMPROVING Youth of Today Has Prospect of Longer Life Ahead Than In 1870. A child under 5 years' of age at present may reasonably look forward to a life of fifty-two years, while thirty-one years ago a child of that ago could expect to live only forty-one years, according to an Important "life table" Issued by the de partment of health after the most careful mathematical calculations covering all statistics ' between 1879 and the present time. While the normal expectancy of a child under 5 ha been -increased eleven years, largely through the Improvements In sani tary conditions, the fight against tuber culosis, and the overcoming of many of j the diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, and meningitis, which usually af fected children, the expectancy for con tinued life in persons more than 40 years old Is diminishing. That is, the table pre pared in 1S82, by the late Dr. John 8. Billings, showed that a man of 40 years of age could reasonably expect to live twenty-two and one-half years more, while the table now issued shows that a man at 40 may expect to live only twenty-two years and one month. From 40 years on there is a constantly increasing diminution of the expectancy of life as compared with the statistics of thirty-one years ago. The report also shows that the female portion of the population has a much better chance to live long than the male portion.' Speaking of the decrease In the expec tancy of life after 40 years, the report states: "Within the last twenty yeara there has been a considerable Increase In the mortality from certain diseases that af fect the vital organs of the body, such aa the heart, kidneys, stomach, liver and Intestines. The death rate from cancer, heart diseases, and kidney diseases has Increased considerably within a genera tion. Accompanying this Increased mor tality has been an increase In the con sumption of spirituous liquors and nitro genous articles of food In other words, too much drink and too much meat The wear and tear of the strenuous life Is also a factor In this Increase of the death rate. . The introduction of easy, comfortable, and rapid means of trans portation has seduced the average indi vidual from his dally exercise In the open air. "The heart that Is kept going at a high rate almost continuously must of necessity wear out eooner than it other wise would; the kidneys compelled to work overtime will break down sooner or later; the digestive organs with insuffi cient periods of repose will revolt for good and become the seas on cancerous growth. "The lesson to be drawn from this ar ray of figures is that the adult of the present generation is traveling a pace too fast for his health; rapidity of living cannot but end In premature dying. Never was there greater need from a health standpoint for the practice of moderation In all things by the Inhabi tants of our city." New York Herald. "MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT" rteluctont Wltneaa- Follows Jndire'a Helpful Lesson to the Finish. They were speaking about the funny ones that occasionally bulge out In the august court room the other evening when Senator Henry Llppett of Rhode Island, recalled the discomfiture that once came to a New England Judgo. The case before the court, the senator said, wbb directly due to the erratic flight of a rock that had gone through a plate glass window. The man who threw the rock was In the prisoner's pen, and an old lady who had seen the excitement was In the witness chair trying to describe the size of the mlssle, This apparently was no easy Job, for, after the lawyers had futllely worked for several minutes, the Judge took up the examination. "Look this way, madam," said hit honor, closing his hand "Was the stone you saw thrown as big as my fist?" "It was bigger," answered the witness with impressive deliberation. "I see." returned the Judge, closing both hands together. "Was It as big as my two fists?" "It was bigger," rejoined the old lady In the same slow voice. "It was Just about as long as your head," slowly replied tho witness, "but not quite so thick." Roston Transcript. SONG WARNING SCALDS THIEF Serin n Mnn t'niler lied, Mimlrlnn Summon Wife In Ithyme. There can be no doubt thnt ninety nine out of a hundred persons would consider the discovery of a burglar under the bed at 4 o'clock In the morning In sufficient Inspiration for the composi tion of a song. Not so with George Rog ovoy. the Russian 'cellist of Philadelphia. He not only Inspiration In the situation, but Indicted a ballad to Mrs. Rogovoy in verse Russian verseand his plan for the discomfiture of the Intruder.. with hla wife's assistance, proved ef fective. Mr. and Mrs. Rogovoy had planned to go to Atlantic City for the day and had arisen very early yesterday in prepara tion. As the 'cellist adjusted hla collar and cravat before the pier-glass he es pied a man'i feet protruding from be neath the bed. Unperturbed, Rogovoy finished the adjustment of his tie, hum ming the while. Then he raised his voice to a louder tone so that his wife In an adjoining room could hear hear and sang thus: Fear not, dear wife, but listen to me. And do not lose your head. Don't make any noise whatever vou do; There's a burglar under tbe bed Mrs. Rogovoy realized the situation Instantly, and Instead of shouting for the police or fainting as thp "ninety-nine out of a hundred" would have done, care fully filled a basin with scalding water. While her husband sang a second vnrse. she tiptoed Into the room nnd dashed the hot water under the bed. The burglar yelled once, sprang to his feet and dashed for a rear window. Without hesitating he hurdled ovor tho sill and dropped twenty feet to a shed roof below, and was gone. Philadelphia Ledger.
