The candidates for the position at Day

6cmmltteo. scarcely, slept for the first
two weeks immediately following tho
tornado, and Mr, Guild was always in
the front rank of the activities. Besides
this he kept up his work as commissioner
ot the. club, dodging rapidly between the
relief stations and' his offtco at the Com

days would not sufflco.

"It came to us rather suddenly," said
Chairman C. B. Yost of the executive
committee of tho Omaha ' Commercial

In reality be the big commercial organisa

out of some;of the reorganisation work
which followed the great flood of last
March. The association already has
some 6,000 members pledged and is ex

LINCOLN MEN RETALIATING
Getting Baok for Exposure of the

Their Pay.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 21.-(8peclal Tele
gram.) A silent, rabid war Is being
waged In the ranks bf tho Nebraska
State Teachers' association.
Members ot the state normal board
have forbidden the normal teachers to
attend the stato teacners' convention In
Omaha next month.
Executives of Uie association, astounded
at this unprecedented action, will appeal
to the governor to rescind the order, and
failing there may take it to tho courts.
It Is charged by officials of the State
Teachers' association, In strict confidence
smong themselves, that the normal
board, controlled by Lincoln men or resi
dents of cities tributary to Lincoln, is
retaliating on Omaha for the exposure of
Lincoln's fraudulent registration ot
teachers last year.
Tho Lincoln Commercial club registered,
at Its own expenso, a large number of
tiachera who did not attend the meellnr,
Intending thereby to swing the voto on
the meeting place nnd force the selection
of Lincoln. '.-y N
Kxploln Their Action,
Members of the board say their action
is based on the sentiment among studasttn
In the normal schools who object to two
vacations in the month of November, ths
Thanksgiving holidays following on tho
heels of the state convention.
While teachers will not be given the
customary leave of absence thoso who
sro on tho program of the several di
visions of the association may attend the
convention long enough to deliver their
speeches. ,
Considerable activity prevails' among
among tne teacners, many ot wnpm de

Mis. Eaton Wanted
Admiral Sent to the
Asylum for Insane
PLYMOUTH. Mass,, Oct a.-CondlUons
in the household of Admiral Eaton prior
to his death by poison last March, were
described by neighbors at the trial ot
Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, the widow, to
day. A month before his death, Admiral
Eaton was planning to take Mrs, Eaton
with him on a trip to Panama, accord
ing to Samuel W, Baker, a. Rockland
optician. Baker testified that In Febru
ary, last, tho admiral told him that,
acting under commliston from President
Grant he had mads a survey for a canal
route across the Isthmus In 1371, and
that he looked forward with pleasure to
the trip that he and Mrs. Eaton were to
tako to see the completed cut.
Mrs. Eaton asked Uaker to assist her
In having the admiral committed to an
lr.sano asylum. She complained that her
husband, was dabbling in drugs and sho
fesred he would causa the death of mem
bers of the household.
Frank & Allger, a Rockland newspaper
man, testified about conversations with
Admiral and Mrs. Eaton. The admiral
said he objected to having June In tho
household because ot a story she had
circulated about him, Mrs. Eaton com
plained of her fears that her husband
would poison her.
Allger said that he did not consider
Admiral Eaton insane, but thought ho
showed oertaln peculiarities of speech and
manner, due perhaps to long service in
the army.

"Proper sanitation and absolute purity
demand-that the baker Increase the prtc
of his products," said C. W. Ortman,
president of Uie Nebraska Master Bakers'
association. In his opening, address to tho
fifth annual convention at the Hotel
Rome yesterday. "For some time tho
price of material has increased steadily.
yet the product of the baker has remained
the same fin price, It Is the tendency of
the American public In general to pay
such prices as will Insure quality.
"It Is undoubtedly true that the demand
of tho general public is so keen for purity
that the- future competition in the baking
Industry Is to be along tho lines ot effort
to produce better quality and not neces
sarily the same quantity. Tho baker who
is to succeed in this highly competitive
future condition must realize that the
bakery business is a science and art,
and not Just so much work and material.
Are for Kaaltatlea.
"Much Is said at every convention
about sanitation, but the desired results
have not been accomplished', simply be
cause of the lack of concerted action on
the part ot tho bakers themselves. Much
has been made and said of our state
and city inspection of bakeries by the
public and by the bakers themselves.
Our state Inspection is absolutely In
adequate ahd .clty inspection by the health
department Is a standing Joke, Not only
are the present systems of Inspection un
satisfactory to the knowing public, but
also t6 the bakers themselves. A system
ot Inspection Is desired whloh will be
fair to all classes of bakers and will re
sult n delivering to the public goods ot
quality."
He advocated a set of rules to be fol.
lowed In the inspection, and declared.
Such rules must ncssarlly be made, not
by politicians, but by practical bakers.
who realize that the establishment of
confidence Is essential to the enlarge
ment and growth of the bakfng Industry."
Some fifty at Convention.
Some fifty bakers had arrived before
noon for the fifth annual convention,
which Is to hold three days, E. V, Parrlab
of the Publicity Bureau of Omaha, gave
the address of welcome, and the responso
was made on bshalt of tho bakers by
Senator George Wols of Fremont. The
president's address and tho appointment
of committees completed the work of
the forenoon.
Yeste" day afternoon a dough demonstra
tion and a demonstration In preparing and
baking bread Is In progress at the Burns
Baking company plant Tho demonstra

A theater party of the bakers attedned
