turned into a market house at some future
day, and rented, as IL could easily be, at a
rental price Of $50 a day for such a purpose,
it would bring to the owners q handsome re-
turn on their investment-more than 5 per
cent.
-.
"And the market house must eventually
come. There must be a place set aside and
designated as a market where people can
go for their vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs
and milk. If the council assigns a place on
Capitol avenue, between Thirteenth and Six
teenth streets, it will not be long until we
see q store rented on that street where green
garden truck will be kept exclusively. Then
another for milk, meat, eggs, fruits, etc. And
it would be a wonderful convenience all
around"

tain Paine, a deputy oil inspector Of the
state, "but it's very little inferior kerosene
that I have found. 1t all meets the require
ments of the test-150. Before the law
passed imposing a fine for selling inferior
grades of coal oil. IL was astounding the
amount disposed of-especially In small

"well, It beats the world" remarked
Judge Edwards, of Pawnee City. 'Twenty
or twenty-five years ago I placed several
hundred dollars in a pair Of saddle bags, and
mounting a horse rode from Pawnee City to
Omaha. The money in my possession had
been collected by the treasurer of Pawnee
county on taxes, and l was deputy, and de-
tailed to come to Omaha and make q settle-
ment with the state treasurer. Among these
many thousands of houses I can not remem-
Der where the state treasurer's office was,
nor just where the bank of Mr.. Kountze was
located, where / paid the money. have
lived in Pawnee all these years, and here this
wonderful city has materialized. At
that time I supposed Pawnee would be the
largest city in Nebraska-but, well, its hard
to tell what the future holds"
~
vt would astonish you," remarked q citi.
zen a week ago, 'ff you knew the number OF
quack doctors, iugglers, montebanks, fortune
%tellers, scamps and scoundrels masquerading
as skilled and schoolod physicians in Omaha.
The law prohibits them from even claiming
to be doctors, but by purchasing bogus cer-

minister their internal drugs, and ~credulous
aud ignorant people suffer. If they erect a
cure, nine times out of ten il Is by mere
chance. They glibly talk Of their wonderful
experience and largely increasing practice.
They pretend to talk Latin when they have
only a smattering of English, lecture on an
atomy when they could not dissect o saw
horse, attempt to cure a sick person when,
indeed, they could not cure a ham. These
fraudulent professional murderers seem to
increase rather than decrease. At the
time The BEE routed and secuted that prince
OF humbugs, DIR. Fishblatt, there were many
OF the false disciples of Nsculapeus who
had preyed upon Omaha, quietly left the
town. But they are coming again, some are
already here, and while many reputable peo-
pie should shun them, even as they should
shrink from a ravaging pestilence, they re.
ceive them with open arms into their
families where, if opportunity is offered, they
will corrupt, debauch and poison the mind
and body. 1t seems to me that THE BEE can
not do a nobler work than to again ventilate
these nostrum nuisances, so disgustingly
plentiful in Omaha.
Judge Wakeley's decision on Sunday ball
playing gives general satisfaction" said a
pleasant, plous gentleman. While not ex-
pecting to be quoted, he continued: "Well.
from the vast crowds in attendance there
each Sabbath day, l suppose the people de-
mand it-and, after all the people are the
law. If our. church going and religious
people desire to break up ball playing on
Sunday, the only course to pursue is to teach
those who witness the game that it Is sinful
to play ball on Sunday. Yet no more so than
tn VvitIaSS thn con1n TT tbnra ", an ,,o.
tators certain it is there would be no base
ball" and the good man walked away.
