BRINGING UP FATHER Awn apt WITH BAROM INDIANS NO MATCH ; FOR THEJRANDEIS Local Flippers Sun Up Score of 83 to 9 Against the Chey- enne Tribe. HAIR TONIC DOES WORK ) The Cheyenne Indians, heralded as considerable basket ball five, went 'down to defeat before the crack 'Brandeis team of Omaha at the Young; Men's Christian association last night. The score was only 83 to 9. It might have been 153. The redskins must have traveled through Iowa in their journey to Omaha. When they hit the "Y" floor the fans thought somebody was fumi gating the place with formaldahyde and every redskin looked like the welcome arch in full glow. Most of them saw two balls at the same time and tried to play the one that wasn't As a result of the exhibition, an nouncement was made that the spec tators could use their ticket stubs as admission tickets to the next big game which probably will be with the Ok lahoma Bangers, who come from a dry state. The game, however, was enjoyable. It made a Keystone comedy, look like a deuce-spot. Herb Strykej' chucked fourteen goals daring th -event, Les Burkenroad ' threw nine and Morris .

Notre Dame yielded to all of the Ne braska demands- that the South Bend institution observe Missouri Valley conference rules regarding fall train ing and final arrangements were com pleted yesterday for a Notre Dame. Nebraska game in Lincoln October 20. Jess Harper, coach of the South Bend eleven, telegraphed Dr. Stewart that the school would live up to the regulations that fall practice shall not start before registration week, which is the middle of September, and that Notre Dame would be glad to ac cept the Nebraska offer of October 20. With the Notre Dame squabble out of the way Dr. Stewart expects to make short work of the remainder of the schedule. There is still a hitch in the arrangements for the game with the Michigan Aggies at Lansing, the Wolverine institution hairing failed to notify Nebraska as to the guarantee it would offer. Until the guarantee is forthcoming the Husker management will not sign the final agreement for the game and, providing the Lansing management is not willing to offer a guarantee, then the tentative date of October 27 will be called off. Wes leyan will undoubtedly provide the opening game of the season, although these negotiations have not been closed. In any event the Huskers will have the most attractive' schedule in their history, including Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Syracuse, Notre Dame and probably the Michigan Aggies and Wesleyan.

City Council Adjourns as Budget Board; Hummel Sick On account of the illness of City Commissioner Hummel, the city coun cil adjourned as a budget board. The budget work will be resumed at 9 a. m. Saturday. Mr. Hummel has been indisposed nearly a week, although he managed to get around. He attended his office for a few hours this morning and then returned to his home. The commis sioner has a touch of grippe. McNish Buys Lots and Houses in Evanston The McNish Land company has bought of Emilia J.

NA.C. ftVAVlhH Phantom Crook Steals Cigar from Police Judge and Candy from Girls Hist! Shades of Sherlock Holmes, Nick Carter, Arsene Lupin et all The boldest of petty thieves is at work in Omaha. Imagine a sneak thief choosing the county attorney! office as the scene of his operations. As a result of the epidemic of petty thievery County Attorney Magney has issued orders that all doors into the offices, with the exception of the main one, be kept locked. This is in order that Miss Lottie Martin, pri vate secretary to Mr. Magney, can give everyone entering the main of fice the "once over." As a climax to the series of petty thefts some villain stole Paul Stein wender's lunch. The lunch included a luscious piece of pumpkin pie which the county attorney's messenger prized very highly. THE BEE: Coprrtttot, 191S. InUraattotuU Newt 8wrte HELLO-ROVAL.TY-- WHERE DO TOO ) WORK? r J1 CITY COUNCIL USES THE PRUNING KNIFE Working to Keep Expenses for t Coming Year Within the Money in Sight. FIGHT FOR OWN SECTION The cily commissioners, sitting as a budget board, are learning the simple lesson that it is impossible to stretch 100 cents into anything more than $1. To begin with, the city will have approximately $1,600,000 to spend this year, $1,320,480 being 95 per cent of the tax levy and the remainder being estimated collections. The various departments want $150,000 more than is available. The budget board has started its work of shrinking the es timates. They adjourned yesterday because of the illness of Commissioner Hummel. There is about $15,000 more to ap portion than was apportioned in 1916, providing the city pays off $75,000 borrowed last year. It is proposed, however, to pay off $25,000 of that debt, in which event there will be $65,000 in excess of the 1916 budget. Experts Expensive. The request of the City Planning commission for $25,000 aroused ex pressions not favorable to engaging experts from New York at fancy sal aries. Commissioners Jardine and Butler opposed the planning com mission's policy of expensive expert ness. The planners asked for $8,000 for salaries of experts this year and $2,500 for their traveling and hotel expenses. As a starter, the city plan ning appropriation has been reduced to $15,000 and before the budget has been finally adopted it is believed it will be necessary to make a further cut in this item. The mayor will be allowed an in crease of $300 for his office, this being for increase of salary for his secre tary, from $1,500 to $1,800 a year. Police and Firemen. Commissioner Kugel explained that to maintain his present police depart ment on the graduated increase of pay as provided by statute, he will need $13,000 more for 1917, or he will be compelled to reduce hi staff. Commissioner Withnell stated he will require $4,000 more to maintain in creases of pay for firemen as pro vided by the law. The knife is being used freely in cutting out many salary increases re quested. The inspector of weights and measures will not be raised from $1,200 to $1,800 a year, as asked in his estimate. No increase will be allowed for the city hall maintenance. Commissioner Withnell served no tice that the roof of the Auditorinm needs repairing and that one of. his fire houses is falling down. Will Be No Great Changes In Style of Men's. Clothing Cincinnati. O., Jan. 5. No great changes in the fashion of garments worn at present will be made in men's clothing during the fall and winter of 1917-1918. if the styles exhibited at the annual convention of the National As sociation of Clothing Designers, which opened here today, are adhered to. The most popular shades worn by the models were blue, gray and brown. Traffic Bureau Again Elects Coit Chairman Clarke Coit was today re-elected chairman of the governing committee of the traffic bureau of the Omaha Commercial club. Charles H. Pick-! ens was elected vice-chairman. The financial condition of the bureau was reported in good condition. It was J reported by E. J. McVann, manager, that the bureau had participated in twelve interstate commerce cases during the year. Some of the other thefts, itemized by Miss Martin, are as follows: Two pipes from Lloyd Magney'i of fice. One 15-cent cigar from the office of Police Judge Fitzgerald, formerly one of the deputy county attorneys. Several pieces of highly-scented soap from the wash room. Flowers and candy from Miss Mar tin's desk. The desk of the county attorney's private secretary was covered with flowers when she came to work in the morning. Former Coroner Crosby, who turned over the records of his office to the county attorney on Thursday, sent the roses to Miss Martin. She will handle the detail work of the coroner's office from now on.

Ia -r- Drawn for THAT MICE MOV PAfr CAN YViti 7 WANT ENDRES TO POST BIGGER BOND School Men Hare Not Approved New County Treasurer's Se curity Will Wait. DEEM BOND INADEQUATE The finance and judiciary commit tees of the Board of Education are considering the requirement of a bond of $500,000 from Treasurer En dres for the protection of school dis trict funds and securities. The cus tomary bond required of the county treasurer as treasurer of the school district has been $200,000, which bond Mr. Endres, the new treasurer, tiled a month ago. On Thursday W. G. Urc, retiring treasurer, turned over to Treasurer Endres a .total of $1,U6,008.74 in school district funds and securities. Of that total $797,331.40 is in the site and building fund, this being the un expended balance of $1,000,000 bonds authorized and sold more than a year ago. As the building program progresses the site and building fund will grow less. Under normal conditions the treasurer holds from $300,000 to $400, 000 in school fundi. It is the opinion of the chairmen of the judiciary and finance committees of the Board of Education that a bond of $200,000 ii not adequate to protect more than $1,000,000 of school funds and securities. The matter js still pending. In the meantime the school directors have not approved the bond of $200, 000. Seward Farm Women Employ County Agent Seward, Neb., Jan. 5. (Special). Cooperation has invaded a new field. This time it has taken itself to the poultry yard and has enlisted mem bers of the fair lex under its banner. This new venture is the result of the employment of a woman county agent by the Seward County Home Maker's association last November 1. Eggs and dressed poultry produced by members of the Home-Makers' asso ciation were marketed cooperative ly by parcels post for the Christmas trade. Miss Esther Warner, woman county agent, secured the names of prospective purchasers and completed arrangement! for the transactions, so that producers were eble to realize an increase of 30 per cent over regular market prices received when produce was distributed through other chan nels. Consumers bought the produce C O. D., and paid all charges, thus leaving the purchase price net to the producer. Members of the associa tion who shipped in this way did not have the burden of taking the pro duce to town, for the market place was just next to the gatepost. Names of prospective purchasers were secured by the county agent Omaha, Lincoln, Auburn and Tectrm seh being included in the list of towns in which products were marketed. Plans are also being made by Miss Warner for a series of poultry meet- FREE PANTS Just to keep oar ttutori btur. we are giving an extra ptir of $7 pants ab tolutety free with every oit (C. ft P.) tailored to your meaaare at Open S tarda Evening $15 See Our Window We put honcHt, pare wool fabrics, fine durable tailoring into oar elothet, and don't forget this iff the kind of rttyle, quality and value that eoate 125 to $30 elsewhere. f)unde Corner 15th and Harney Sts.
