TO UNITE CITY
DEPARTMENTS
&. . .. .
Commissioner Zimman Out
lines Tentative Arrange
ment for Offices In City
Hall Next Year.
Brief City News
City Commissioner Zimman,
whose department includes super
vision of the city hall building yes
terday submitted to the mayor and
city council a tentative plan for fur
ther rearrangement of office space.
He explained that the munici
pal courts will be moved to the
court house within a few weeks and
he proposed that the Visiting Nurse
sssociation, city chemist, city bac
teriologist and the free dental dis
pensary quarters be moved to the
third floor, which would place these
allied offices close to the health de
partment. Another proposal was to move the
ritv electrician and the city build-
ine department to the fifth floor
and near the city engineering depart
ment. The mayor and commissioners
agreed that the payment of water
bills should be made on the first
floor instead of requiring water con
sumers to go to the second ' floor,
The prospective operation of the ca
plant by the city was considered
from the angle that space must be
provided in the city hall for offices
in connection with the water depart
ment which will have management
of the gas plant.

Ringer Asks Council
To Meet Police Riot
Expense Account
Police Commissioner Ringer yes
terday oresented to the city council
an emergency ordinance to provide
$45,000 for expenses incurred by the
nolire deoartment in connection
with the riot at the court house Sep
tember 28.
The ordinance was referred to the
city council committee of the whole
for discussion next jvionaay morn-
This amount, wnicn Mr. Kinger
proposes the city shall borrow until
the 1920 budget is available, repre
sents pay for special police after
the riot, bills for housing and feed
ing soldiers on riot duty, claims for
damages caused by rioters, and
other expenses incurred on account
of the riot Some of the items are
for new equipment for the police
department, including an automobile
to replace the car destroyed at Fif
teenth and Farnam streets.
In brief, it is the police depart
ment's expense account, resulting
from lack of organization at the
time when the riot might have been
taken in hand by competent leader
ship.

rourt and filed a suit against the
Standard Furnace & bupply Co.
It is an unique case. Mr. Miller
that he was bookkeeper for the
company up to September 1,, 1919.
On that date the company employed
experts to go over the books, tie
says, ana reporiea tnai tnerc were
shortages in tne accounts. Mr.
Miller savs the company refused to
allow him to employ an expert to go
over the books.
While he was employed there, he
says, he was so rushed with work
that mistakes may have occurred.
He offered the company $366.10 but
the company declined it.
He asks th,e court to order the
books brought into court and have
them gone over by an expert and
instructs the' clerk of the court to
pay over to the company whatever
may be found due.

Father Rigge to Tell Rotary
Club Why World Didn't End
Father W. F. Rigge of Creighton

sneaker at the regular meeting of
the Omaha Rotary club at the Hotel
Fontenelle today at noon. His
topic will be "Why the World Didn't
Come to an tna jyecempex
hren in hed an hour aKO."
She came back into the room and
closed the door behind her.
"He's actually safe in his own
room," she said in a low tone. "I
wanted to make sure, for I don't
want him to get any fool notions in
his head about that desk.
"How will you ever manage about
tomorrow? I asked wondenngly.
"You mean his proposition to get
that hypothical missing key to the
desk from a shop that doesn t ex
ist?" she countered smiling. We
were talking in the lowest of mur
murs. I nodded. It has been a quickly
conceived, cleverly executed answer
to Dicky's disconcerting offer that
Lillian had made, but I did not see
how she was going to get out of the
dilemma
"Don't you see that I didn't dare
to object to his plans?" she asked
patiently. "He was curious enough
about the old thing as it was. But
by instantly falling in with his pro
posal and acting as if it were a fa
vor to me I fancy I disarmed all
suspicion. And I shall discover to
morrow a plausible reason for visit
ing Crest Haven, and shall casually
remark to Dicky that he needn't
trouble and I can just as well do the
two errands at the same time.
Sabe?"
"Of course." I returned promptly,
"But I can't help wondering if he
really suspects anything about the
desk.
"Not a syllable," Lillian rejoined
promptly. "You ought to know by
this time that your husband is just
a big boy, and will never be any
thing else in some things if he lives
to be a hundred, although he is
man head and shoulders above most
of his fellows for all that, God bless
him!" she interpolated, evidently
with the thought of Dicky's gallant
war service before the eyes of her
mind.
Amen! 1 breathed softly, my
own thoughts flying back to that
time of trial and triumph.
He has just all a boys curiosity.
she resumed. "He saw this new ac
quisition, heard us say something
about secret mechanism which, in
cidentally, I shall try to bring
casually sometime with a laughing
remark calculated to banish any
further thought of it from his mind
and was idly curious about what
you were buying. Ten to one be
will never think of it agin. But
we'll open the desk tomorrow after
he goes away, clear odt everything
that's in it, without, of course, hunt
ing for the secret drawer, and I'll
fill it with junk of my own. Then
it can stand open for his casual in
spection, and all danger from his
curiosity will be over."
She picked up a bundle of prints
as she spoke, although I knew that
she had no need of them. But she
was clever enpugh to risk no chance
encounter with-Dicky in the hall
after she had come back to my room
ostensibly for them, she moved to
ward the door, but with her hand
on the knob stood hesitating. I
knew that there was something she
wished to say to me, something
which she feared might displease
me.
And with swift shamefaced intui
tion I felt what it was.
"Madge, dear," she said after a
moment.
"Yes."
For my life I could not have ut
tered other than the monosyllable.
And I was furious at the knowledge
that the color was rushing to my
cheeks.
"You know I don't very often of
fer advice asked or unasked," she
said, and the clear eyes she bent
upon me held a deprecating look as
if she feared my resentment at her
words.
I wrested with my own craven
spirit and L ought victory from it
with a wrench.
"Dear cirl." . I said penitently,
don't vou know bv this time that
you may say anything in th world
to me?" I asked sincerely.
She took her hand from the doer
knob, moved swiftly to my side and
cut her free arm around me closely.

Now olease don't sro to imagining
things when I tell you what I'm go
ing to, for you haven't done or said
the least thing to wnicn any one
save a jealous blinded lad like the
Dicky-bird could object. But if I
were in vour place I would try to
act pleased instead of irritated
when ever Uicky gets on sucn non
sense as he did tonignt about Major
Grantland and Edith Fairfax. Of
course, it's the veriest nonsense the
tnaior isn't attracted in that airec-
tion, but if it suits Dicky to fancy
he is, I d try to pretend some en
thusiasmnot too much or you H
spoil it on the subject Think U
over, and pood-nieht."
I did think it over, long ana care-
fully, ana witn numinaiion oi apim
after hf left me. and duriner the
next few days. But the thing which
stayed longest in my memory, wnicn
troubled me most was this question:
Why did Lillian think it necessarj

Fairfax and Hugh Urantland being
attracted bv each other was the
veriest nonsense?"

AT HER RECOVERY
Mrs. McMullen Had Suffered

"iw fVIpnrU are amazed and the

have taken Tanlac," was the re
markable statement made' recently
by Mrs. R. McMullen, who lives out
on Route No. 5, Peoria, 111., when
she called at Sutliff and Cases

"When I began taking Tanlac,"
she continued, "I was facing a
serious operation and had given up
all hope of ever seeing another well
Hav. I had stomach trouble bad
enough to almost kill me My, I just
hate to think of the way those awful
crampim? pains used to double me
up. I had to force myself to eat
a little something to keep alive, but
every time I did I would be in agony
fnr 'hours. Terrible rains would
strike me around the heart and at
times I would have headache spells
so bad I would nearly go into
spasms, and I would be so complete
ly exhausted after one of these
spells that I could hardly raise my
head nn from the pillow. Some
times I had to remain in bed a day
or two until I could get strengtn
enough to get up. I went on suf
fering this way for years and years,
never Knowing wnar. a wen aay
meant or what it was to enjoy a
meal and eating hardly a thing but
soup I could not think of doing
my work, was not able to even get
off the place and I thought I was
doing fine to stay out of bed.
"I had about given up in despair
when one day, just before an opera
tion was to be performed, my hus
band came in with a bottle of Tan
lac and began to insist so that I
decided to take it. Well, you can
imagine how overjoyed I was when
I started to feel better, and that
gave me so much encouragement
that I kept right on taking it until
now, the sensation oi tne wnoie
neighborhood and surrounding coun

to complete health after twenty-
four years of suffering. I eat any
thing 1 want and as mucn as i want
without ever having a touch of in
digestion. I never have a pain in

I don't have a sign of a headache
and I sleep like a child and get up
just simply feeling fine. 1 have
been built up in every way, am
stronger than I have been in years
and years. I owe it all to Tanlac
and my only regret is that I will
never be able to praise it enough."
