boutn omaha saloons will have to
pay a llccnso fee of JIOQO this year ac
cording to word from an Informal meet
ing held Saturday at the Omaha hospital
where Commissioner Donahue Is con
fined with a fractured bone. John
Dovine, commlsslonur was present at
.ho meeting and the two decided that
the demands for a decrease In the num
ber of saloons would have to bo met
and without delay. At present there
are about S7 saloons In South Omaha.
Complaints from the west end of the
city and the south section have been
made to the board and so strong ha.vo
the complaints becomo that the board
will not oppose tho popular will they
assert.
It Is proposed to reducs tho number
of saloons to fifty or under and charge
a llccnso fee. Tho ralso of tho
license fee will put a largo number of
the worst saloons out of business and
tho reduced number of beer parlors will
permit the South Omaha police force to
police saloon districts better than at
present.
Commissioner Kevlne sold Saturday:
"Commissioner Donahue and myself
talked tho matter over today. "We would
Ufce tho papers to say that we ore
going to reduce tho number of saloons
in South Omaha. The people seem to
w"ant that. We can not reduce tho num
ber without Injuring tho schools If wo
do not raise ' the licenses on the ones
who want to do business in South
Omaha.''
Asked If tho report of the meeting was
mere tulk, Commissioner Devlno said
that tho board or a majority of. It would
sec to It that the number of saloons is
reduced or known the reason why. All
of which leaves the Innumerable ap
plicants for liquor licenses up in the
air. '

George Postacis, a Greek found a $300
diamond caring in California and came
ll the way to South Omaha to sell it
to Jacobsen and Furen. Ho tried to sell
the Jewel yesterday and "was arrested
by Detective Sheahan on suspicion. With
Postacls at the tlmo was Tom Conturls
who was also locked up. Postacls denies
that he came by the diamond earing In
any way except by chance. He says
ho found the earing while In California
and has carried It about with him ever
since. Tho Jewelers say that tho gem
and its mate together would be worth
JS00.
At tho police station last night the
theory was ventured that the caring was
a part of tho swng said to bo marketed
over the world by an international gang
of diamond thieves. The police say they
do not believe the story of Postacis. Ho
will be held until an Investigation Is
made.

Miss Anna 1. Meyer, supervisor of
manual training in the fifth and sixth
grades of the local schools, has originated
and copyrighted a pieca of art in plaster.
Miss Meyer has named her production
the "Joy Boy." Tho figure Is that of tv
full grown youth sitting tailor fashion
with folded arms uplifted from the chest
The face Is that of a Hon, with a smile,
parting the Hps and rippling about tho
eyes and face. The predominant color Is
green with a bluelsh tinge, which latter
color the "Joy Boy" has absorbed; To
drive away the blues Is the mission of
"Joy Boy" for Its owner. This piece of
art is molded In three sizes.
An Italian plastic artist Is making this
mascot of happiness and there Is much
promise of many sales of this artistic
talisman, over which Miss Meyer's friends
are enthusiastic and have decided to pur
chase. Those who know Miss Meyer ap

ceeding Informal.
At a called meeting of the Douglas
county republican committee, hold at the
Romo hotel Saturday afternoon, only
thlrty-slx of the ninety-four members
showed up. Tho purposo of tho meeting
was to make plans for a banquet to bo
held some time in April.
Proceedings were enlivened by the "ap
pearance of Henry Ostrom, deputy elec
tion commissioner, who was chairman
)t tho "progressive"' republican commlt
co, and Henry T. Gcnau, secretary of
tho same organization. Thoy came with
proposals that tho '.'republicans" get to
gether and offered to resign their offices
and disband their organization on con
dition of a reorganization of tho regular
committee. I
After much talk and scvoinl caucusscs,
Henry C. Myers, chairman of the regu
lar republican commlttco, tendered his
resignation, and was followed by Mat
thew J. Greevy, secretary, who resigned,
but called attention to the fact that tho
proceedings were Informal, as no quorum
of the regular commlttco was present C.
L. Mather of Benson was chosen chair
man and Amos Thomas of Omaha sec
retary. Considerable commotion occurred dur
ing tho roll call caused by outsiders try
ing to. partlctpato In the proceedings and
efforts to avoid' making a record that
would disclose tho absence of a quorum.
A committee of five was appointed to
arrange for a big republican banquet
to bo held perhaps tha second week In
April. Tho members, of tho banquet com
mlttco are Heiiry u. Meyers, chairman
J. C. Klnslcr, Henry Ostrom, David
Shanahan and John Larson. A speaker
of national famo is to be secured for
tho banquet Either Senator A. B. Cum
mins of Iowa or cx-Qovernor Herbert S.
Hadley of Missouri will probably be in
vlted' to make addresses.

Life Agent Does
Humanity Service
A man who contributes $1,000 to the
support of an orphans' homo Is looked
upon &b a benefactor, Why Is not a man
who Induces, another to take out a life
liiburancq policy Just a great a bone
factor as tho man who contributes to
the orDhana' homo? The man who in
duces ono to take nn Insurance policy has
tmieht that man to take caro of his own
and himself and that Is doing humanity
a greater Borvice than building a nomo
for the Indigent becauso life Insurance
protects thoso left when the Insured dies
from the need of orphans' homes or suon
institutions.
ITo Lighten the
Widow's Burden
No man can , set a price on what a
mothor does for a child. No payment Is
adequate for the wife who makes tho
homo a place of peace by her watchful
euro over the toller. With wealth and
Industry ho can shield her whllo he lives
With an Insurance policy he can shield
her after he Is gone at least to the ex
tent of providing necessities. Time waits
for no man; apply now.
