' -f- ) "The. trouble with the mayr is that he has' it in for' me," Mr. Fan ning continued. 'You - will recall that the mayor was the man who wrote to Washington,. stating that n would b a public calamity it 1 should be appointed postmaster of Omaha. 1 1 To Visit Council Thursday. "I have made a better postmaster ;and paving contractor than Smith has shown himself vas mayor He ,may know a lot about law,, bat he 'does not know much about muni cipal affairs. I will be up at the I council meeting on Thursday morn ing and will have a few things to -say on this Leavenworth street paving contracC" Last year Mr. -Fanning was awarded a contract for paving West Leavenworth street, his bid being ;; nearly $60,000, based on . the then prevailing prices of brick and other materials. He states that when fig uring his bid he' estimated that brick - would cost $1.13 per yard, as against ' prfcswit prices of $1.54 to $1.58. To carry out the contract at this timeN ; he declared would stand htm to lose $20,000 on. the job. ' Fanning Makes Charges. He charges that the city council last year granted the street railway company an extension of one year in which, to change its tracks on Leavenworth street, and he further . explains that he eoulJ not proceed with, his work until the street rail way company had. first relaid the tracks. He is willing to take the matter into court. Mr. Fanning and representatives of the street railway company have " been asked to appear before the city council on Thursday morning for a conference. " . Churck Bodies Want rary Injunction Against Language Law Church, organizations seeking to stop the operation of the Simon law, passed by the last legislature, filed an amended petition in district court yesterday, asking a - temporary re straining order to keep Governor Mc Kelvie Attorney 4Geqeral Davis and . County Attorney Shotwell from en , forcing the law which prohibits the Use of any language except English in the schools. The first petition, filed a week ago, asked a permanent injunction and, as this would not come up for hearing until four "weeks had elapsed the amended peti tion, was filed to secure , the tem porary order until the hearing on application for the permanent order. The plaintiffs in the case are the . Nebraska district of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states; and St. Francis Catholic church of Omaha. They declare that it is impossible ' to instruct ? children in the lower grades of their parochial schools in English because they don't under- stand that language when they start to school. ! ' Baby Falls 20 Feet, But Escapes With Slight Hurts A 20-foot fall of the 18-months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. William O. Van Wyck, 4824 Farnam street, resulted in no serious injury to the child Tuesday. The baby suffered slight bruises and cuts. It was tak en to the Nicholas Senn hospital, where it was reported it slept sound ly throughout the night. The baby : accidentally fell from the sleeping porch of the Van Wyck home after it had found its way out of a cradle. - A -nurse yelled when she saw the babe fall from the porch railing. Sister Searches for Her. . t Brother Missing 35 Years Postmaster Fanning has received an appeal from Mrs. M. E. Ward of Troy, N. Y., for aid in locating her brother, Mathew Muldoon. Mrs. Ward believes her brother is in the vicinity of Omaha in the live stock business. " "I have vbeen, trying to; find him ! for 35 years," i' she writes. "It . sounds hopeless, but I haven't despaired yet His mother died re cently without seeing him. There are only three of us left in the fam ily. Surely he remembers his own sisterl" - .- - - f ' ; ' Happened Year Ago on 13th. Today is .the first anniversary of the present city administration.

My Heart and Adele Garrison's Revelations , Stockbrigt Might Do. Mr. Stockbridge moved promptly toward us at Mr. Donkers' call, but I could see that his' action was tinged with reluctance. He evidently also had noticed his wife's increas ing restlessness and moodiness, knew, no doobt, far better than any of the rest of us what such action on her part portended. But there was no escaping Mr. Donkers, who, apparently feeling that his matri monial liberty was in no danger from me, had adopted an elephan, tine ' playfulness of manner , which kept me busy controlling my rlsibles. "I am afraid, Stockbridge, you are cherishing a heretic, dangerous though fair -perhaps I might say, dangerous because fair" he in dulged in a fatuous chuckle at his own remark, pointing it with an in clination of his head toward me, "in your school. She tells me that she believes divorce should be made easier." ; -- "Does that make her a heretic?" Mr. Stockbridge replied smiling, al though I saw his eyes roving uneasi ly in search of his wife. They had not far to go, for Milly Stockbridge was slowly making her way toward us, doing it in a cleverly unobtru sive way, I admitted, but . still 'pa tently determined upon joining our group. ' ... - "You misunderstand me entirely," I said a bit impatiently to Miss Hol combe's 'fcete noir. "I said . I be lieved divorce laws should be uni form over the country, and that more safeguards and difficulties should be thrown around marriage. There are many unhappy mar riages " I snapped my sentence off short as I realized that Milly Stock bridge had come within hearing, hoped devioutly that she had not caught the beginning. "It is a tire some subject, anyway," I said light ly. "I'm sure that I didn't start it." I achieved almost a kittenish . pout as i iooKea at my oovine vis-a-vis. a , What "Milly" Said. . "My dear Mrs. Graham." he be gan to protest, but Milly Stock bridge's high-pitched voice inter rupted us. .;- , "What's this about unhappy mar riages?" she shrilled. "Whose, for instance? Surely not yours, Mr. Donkers. if we believe what fou con stantly tell us." There was a shrew-,! ish meaning in the glance she threw him which evidently penetrated even his epidermis, and I learned later that the late "dear departed" Mrs. Donkers had ruled her husband with the rod of absolute monarchy. ii i " f : t u. Vno as, oi course, u couiuu i possibly be yours, Mrs., Graham," she made the very pronunciation of my name sound venomous, "why, then, it must be ours. Why didn't you stand up for our record. Ken? Why didn't you tell them ours is one of those wonderful unions made in heaven and wound up in the other place?" bhe laughed, an uncanny, grue some sort of merriment that made me shiver. I looked around uneasily, Fortunately: her - voice Ts " always shrill, and no one seemed to have noticed her manner or vpice no one save Alice Holcombe, who had been watching us. I saw her pick up Bess Dean with a flash of her 1 flllllllllllllllllllll""' 1 M& CapyrlsWIW My Husband New Phase of . oj a Wife eye, and then saunter lazily toward us. Miss Dean promptly followed her example. ,, ... , Mr. Donkers was too obtuse to realize the real seriousness of the situation, but he hastened to pro test the only point his mentality could grasp. ,,.-, To Distract Iter. "Oh, but, my dear Mrs. Stock bridge, we mentioned nothing per sonal, meant nothing. It was gen eral, an academic discussion. "I'm not your dear,' 'she snapped inconsequently. "You may call Mrs. Graham that if yoti like I heard you doing it just now but I don't care for it. And you can't fool me like that. I know yoa meant my mar riage. But I should worry, I ought to be used to it by this time. Every new teacher Mr. Stockbridge gets seems to get it into her head that he is a subject for Sympathy, and pro ceeds to administer large doses of it. I'm geting tired of it. I knpw. What's! sauce for the gooese, you know. Lieutenant Graham looks to me as if he were just pining for a little sympathy. I think I'll go and tell him my troubles and see if he doesn't want to" confide in "ne. So long, Mrs. Graham." ' She darted away, her face alive with malicious mischief, But quick as she was, Alice Holcombe and her husband were quicker, and I saw them both speaking to her author itively. Bess Dean darted in another direction, torard Dicky, and what was my delight to see her evidently challenge him to accompany her to some other part of the room, and to witness his acceptance of her chal lenge. Anything was better than the possibility -of having Dicky learn from Milly Stockbridge's lips of the ugly volcano over which I was working. "Mrs. Stockbridge is a bright, pleasant little . woman, but do you know, sometimes I do not quite know how to take her. She sounded in earnest just now, but4of course, she was joking.' - x Mr. Donkers looked ponderously troubled. I hastened to reassure him. "Oh, of course," I echoed, pray ing that the jest might not rum into a tragedy before the evening was over. ; (Continued Tomorrow.)

"There is so much to eat here and so many pretty girls bringing the food," she sighed. "Oh, how I wish our starving little Russians could have only a small part of what is left on your plates."
