At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Committee of 5,000
yesterday afternoon it was decided
not to fill out the entire slate for
the city campaign tonight at the
meeting in the Y. M. C. A., as
plannad, but to hold of! until Satur
day night, when all filings for the
race for the city commission will be
made.
In other words, they have already
drawn their hand for the seven-card
play, and are holding three cards to
which to draw their other four
Saturday night at the regular meet
ing in the Y. M. C. A.
The three cards now held by the
committee are Judge Sutton, Com

They need fouV more , names to
fill out their hand.
F. A. Brogan and Mayor Smith
will speak at the meeting in the Y.
M. C. A. tomorrow night, as an
nounced. James C. Dahlman, United State
marshal, announced his candidacy
yesterday morning for councilman
and mayor, when Walter Wilson,
former state senator of Dodge
county, presented him with petitions
of 10,000 men and women.
John P. Breen, when he heard
of Mr. Dahlman's decision to enter
the race, said he was "out of it."
In announcing his candidacy, Mr.
Dahlman read a formal statement,
declaring he "would jfcel like a
coward if I fail to heed such a
demonstration represented by the
petitions,", and that the" petition
showed the desire for "the kind of
government which a great majority
of the people desire."
Mr. Dahlman said he would re
sign as United States marshal if
elected. ,
Petitions circulated for him bore
the slogau "Onward Omaha" on
their covers. One petition, circu
lated among proprietors and mana
gers of business places, bore the
signatures of many . of the largest
firms of the city.
Marshal Dahlman has served four
terms as mayor of Omaha, two
terms under the old councilman
torjii of government and two terms
under the commission plan. He was
defeated three years ago by Ed. P.
Smith, the present mayor.
Judge A. L. Sutton, leading candi
date of the Committee of 5,000, said
he was pleased at the entrance of
Dahlman into the race, because "it
will make the race a real banle.M
"I don't believe the people will go
back to the old order of things," said
the iudee. "I belim-i. th r..i ;En.
is 'law and order.'"
Government Aids Family
Of Former Service Man
Fremont, Neb., March 23. (Spe
cial.) Parents of Willard Ireland,
former soldier, who died about a
year ago of tuberculosis, were noti
fied that his estate would receive
$700, although he dropped his insur
ance a month after his discharge.
Ireland enlisted at the age of 17 and
saw active service in the trenches.
When discharged his health was oro
nounced to be perfect. ,
It was established that his death
was the 'result of exposure in France
and through the local chapter of the
Red Cross, his family, in meager cir
cumstance, with a number of small
clyldren, will receive the compensa
tion from the government.
Where It Started
Windows.
The window is a survival, nor, as
man's desire for more light and air,
but of his instinct of self-preservation.
With only a door in his hut,
he could not see all around; so he
cut a hole in the , wall, thus giving
him watch for his enemies in the
reatf as well as in front.

Twelve Owners
Protest Awards.
On 24th Street
Objections To Improvement
Regarded as Trivial by
City Council and
App
iraisers.
Only 12 property owners inter
ested in the proposed widening of
Twenty-fourth " street, Pacific to
Cuming streets, appeared beiorc the
city council yesterday afternoon to
object to the awards made by the
board of apraisers. The appiaiscrs
and council did not consider any of
the protests "serious."
The proposed widening will make,
this thoroughfare a uniform width
of 100 feet, the present width varying
from 55 to 80 feet. - The total of
the awards made by the appraisers is
$1,503,000.
One of the objections was made
by Attorney J. W. Battin, in behalf
cf Alexander and .George Maragos
and Harry Tukey, owners of the
southeast coiner of Twenty-fourth
and Leavenworth streets, at which
location there is a cafe. The plan of
widening contemplates taking 50 feet
from this lot, leaving a 16-foot strip
frontage on Leavenworth street.
Want More Damages.
These owners were allowed $34,000
for their land which would be taken
and $30,000 for the-building. They
ask for a total of $75,000. Then con
tend that the 16-foot strip which they
would have left would not be of
value to them except at such price as
the owner on the east would rare to
offer, to give him a Twenty-lourth
street frontage.
Frank H. Meyers, one of the :ip
parisers, remarked that this 16-foot
strip would be of considerable value
because it would be sought by the
owners of the property to the east.
Sir. Myers remarked that a 16-foot
strip, known as No. 1, Broadway,
New York,' brought the highest price
ever paid for an equal area of land.
Two Foot Strip Left.
W. F. Stoecker owns an aoartment
house on the east side of Twenty
fourth street, half a block south of
Leavenworth street. He has been
allowed $76,800 for 50 feet which is
to be taken from his lot, leaving only
two feet of the present site of the
btiilding. He explained to the coun
cil that it would be possible to move
the building back on unoccupied land
and an arrangement may be made
whereby the city will sell the building
at auction, which will give Mr.
Stoecher an opportunity to bil it in.
Other protests were of a similar
nature.
The hearing was held to give the
council a general idea of the opinions
cf' the affected property owners.
Formal protests must be filed later
to have official value.
The proposed widening of Twenty
fourth street will be one of the proj
ects which will be submitted to the
voters May 5. '
Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
Do You Know the Bible?
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
B a coincidence, today's talis
manic stone and natal gem arethe
same the turquoise, and no 'more
potent talisman could be imagined
than this stone when governed by
these circumstances. It is lucky
not Only for those who wear it, but
also for the one who makes it a gift
to a dear one.
According to the ancients, the tur
quoise protects its wearer from ac
cident when traveling, and assures
one also of the lasting love of those
left behind. The jewel should be
worn around the throat or as a
brooch, if its powers are to be fully
enjoyed. To it the ancients attrib
uted the power to dispel unhappy
thoughts and anxiety, and to attract
to its wearer the affection of
friends. I
Lavendar is today's color, es
pecially should it.be worn by those
who are the .victims of worry or
despondency, since it exerts a
soothing effect.
Today's flower is the old-fashlone i
valley lily, which brings content
ment and dispels jealousy. .

(Cover up th answers, rend th. ques
tions and ?e If you enri answsr thorn.
Thin look at tlia answers to ses If you
ara right.) ,
Follow these questions and answers
as arranged by
J. WILLSON ROY.
1. Why is our Savior represented
as seated when delivering His sermon
on the mount?
2. Why does our Savior promise a
reward to the giver of a cup of cold
water, given to a disciple in His
name?
3. Why did our Savior speak so
frequently in parables?
4. Why was the new wine not put
into old bottles?
5. Whv was our Savior called the
"Son of Man?"
6. Why were 70 disciples chosen by
I our Savior? ,
1. Because sitting was the proper
posture of the masters and teachers.
2. Because by that figure He in
tended to convey the regard He had
for all acts of charity performed with
a proper motive and for the honor of
God.
j 3. Because it was conformable to
the customs of the east to do so and
was a popular mode of conveying
truths with the Jews.
4. Because the eastern bottle is
made of the raw hide of an animal,
consequently when any tormenting
liquor is put into it the skin, being
green, distends. Should the bottle
have been stretched by this process,
then it would burst if put to a second
trial, because it could not yield to
the new pressure of fermentation.
5. Because He had a design es
tablish His human nature against
those who might be disposed to re
gard Him as a mere spirit or angel.
See also Daniel vii, 13-14.
6. Probably in deference to his
torical associations among the He
brews. Jacob went into Egypt with
70 souls. The number of ciders ap
pointed by Moses was 70. Seventy
composed the Sandedrin, the national
council of tlie Jews. According to
the notions of the Hebrews of that
day the earth was made up of 70 nations.

As far as possible, let him bear

that he try to overcome it, day by
