More and more It begins to appear that
tho Fire and lollce board of South
Omaha In due for another spasm anent
Its Intention to clean up the town. This
tlmo guarded fault Is found with police
men because they do not enforce the law.
Commissioner Jack Devlne Is quoted aa
finding fault with the force to that ex
tent. According to Devlne, the town Is better
now than ever before and It Is his am
bltlkn to put an hermetic seal on saloons
nfter 8 o'clock at night and on Sundays.
Yet there are thoso who tell different
stories.
A prominent and well-known resident
In the southwestern section of the city
said yesterday: 'Tho saloons aro not
observing the law, at least In the dis
trict where I live. Sunday last I know
of a case where a Certa.ln packing house
man lost all his money In a saloon". The
saloon was running- on Sunday. The man
has a wife and children.
The nightly pilgrimages to tho base
ments on. Twenty-fourth street continue
without any attempt to disguise tho
cause. Other places In town are known
to be kindly disposed at night to tho
thirsty ones. The board has Issued a
dozen or more final orders and threats.
The board writes the chief a letter once
In awhile and there the "cleaning up"
ends.
For a time when the public asked about
the enforcement the buck was passed
to the chief of police. Now the chief
gives the orders to his subordinates and
they are- supposed to enforce them. The
police say they get the orders, but
some of them at leaBt declare they were
told to mind their own business when
they attempted to carry them out.

"After four?"
"Five," answered the youngster.
"What comes after five?"
Six."
"After six?"
"Seven," screamed Eddie, Inflating his
chest, because he had broken a class
record. No other youngster could count
past five.
"Well, Eddie, what comes after eight?"
asked teacher.
This tlmo Eddle hung his head and
hesitated. "Twelve," he finally answered.
"Oh, no, Eddie," denied the teacher.
"Come, come, what comes after eight."

"Oh, I know, teacher tho sergeants."

the public Rchools, The' purse con
tained $15.
Although a careful search of the build
ing was made and all offices duly in
spected, the burglar In the gray sweater
could not be found. The suggestion was
offered that the thief had probably gono
down the fire escape, as the elevator
operators did not remember carrying a
passenger to fit his description.
Tho purse was found late yesterday
afternoon on the steps of the telephone
building across from tho city hall. It
was empty.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re

faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonderful
tffect
But brewing at H8me Is rnussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 0 oents bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem

hair and Is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish. Itchy scalp and falling hair,
A well-known downtown druggist says
It darkens the hair so. naturally and
evenly that nobody -can tell It has been
applied. Tou simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, talcing one strand at
time. By morning the gray hair Ui
ippears, and after another application r

Heelan was appointed to. the police

At one tlmo he was a detective, and he
holds an enviable record. While a patrol
man, walking along South Tenth street
many years ago, he broke Into a room
In an abandoned house and found Maud
Rubel jnurdered. Several weeks later
Sam Payne, a negro, was arrested and
afterwards convicted of the crime.
A ?orth Sixteenth street grocery was
broken Into once and the burglars cut
into a now cheese. One of them bit a
mouthful outof a wedge and threw the
remainder away, Ileelan found the piece
and when two suspects were caught It
was his Idea to make them bite Into an
other piece of cheese, so that the teeth
prints could be compared. In this man
rer the two suspects were convicted, and
they afterward confessed to the police.

JUABEZ, Mexico. Dec. ll.-The rebel
military commander at Juarez today la
sued an order Imposing a penalty of death
before a firing squad on anyone who
violated or attempted to violate the
prohibition law. The penalty applies as
we'll to those who attempt to purchase
llqvor as those who fell It.
The order issued through the chief of
police says
'It recently has come to the attention
of the military authorities that merchants
and saloonkeepers have been selling
liquor In violation of the prohibition law.
Notice Is hereby given that any attempt
to violate the law through purchase or
sale will be punishable by execution be-
fore a firing squad."
Critical Question.
PRESIDIO, Tex., Dec. 11 Whether the
tattered remnant of the Mexican federal
army, under General Salvador Mercado
vlth 4.000 soldiers, driven to bay on the
United States border, will mnko a last
stand for supremacy at Ojlnaga against
the rebels advancing to that point, or
whether the federals will continue their
retreat into the state of Nucvo Leon, be.
came the most critical question In th.j
i evolutionary movement in northern
Mexico today.
Practically the entire strength of the
federal army, reduced by Its flight from
Chihuahua, ISO miles away, and by the
apathy of many of Its disheartened
soldiers, Is crowded Into the little village
opposite Presidio. It was to this point
they fled in the hope of obtaining money
and provisions. Toward them Is marching
a rebel army of about equal strength with
the avowed purpose of surrounding the
town and bringing to a test whether any
federals are to remain In the north.
MKX1CO CITY, Dec. lt.-The American
charge d'affaires. Nelson O'Shaughnessy
recently notified Washington that the
prorty of foreign residents In the state
of cJinoloa was In Imminent danger of
confiscation by the federal authorities as
a war measure. The charge has received
Instructions to Investigate the constltu.
tionalty of the act and If he finds that
it Is not sanctioned by law to register a
protest with the Mexican government that
the confiscation of property has been
threatened in default of payment of a 5
r-i-r cent tax arbitrarily Imposed by the
'governor of f:noloa, whose headquarters
lis now at Mazatlan, the only large placo
in the tat'' still under government con

who shocked Mexican society by becom
ing a bull fighter, has been captured nt
the head of a rebel band at Botolan, In
his naUv state of Hidalgo, Scgura la
reported to have had $00 men and woo
inarching on Pachuca, capital of Hidalgo.
Regura abandoned bull fighting during
tho Madero regime for the more exciting
game of rebellion and slnco then has In
vested part of his fortune In guns and
ammunition.
Asks Congress for More Power.
President Huerta, has asked congress
again to vest him with full executlvo
powers to conduct the affairs of the de
partments of war, flnanco and the In
terior. A bill to this effect was intro
duced In the chamber today.
Tentative efforts were made today by
the conservative element in the Mexican
government to Induce President Huerta
to ascertain If Oeneral Corranza would
be willing to cease fighting for the pur
pose of holding an election at which the
constitutional leader would be a candi
date for the presidency of tho republlo
or would name a candidate for that
office.
A troop train la reported to have been
dynamited north of Monterey and the
loss Is said to bo heavy. Tho train was
on its way to Nuevo Laredo to reinforce
the garrison there. Fourteen cars loaded
with throops, it Is understood, succeeded
In reaching Laredo In advance of tho
train which was blow,n up.

new and adequate depot, but ijmt the
other railroads were delinquent. Mr.
Ware had asserted It was his intention to
call another meeting of the railroads to
discuss the proposition.

of stock.
This decision was reached late today
after a protracted meeting of the di

partly foreshadowed by tho recent acute
weakness of tho stock, will coma as a
shock to thousands of Investors.

well as securities of affiliated companies,
are held by savings banks and other
financial Institutions, as well as in
