COMING IN BY THOUSANDS
Money for Liquor Licenses Being Paid Over
to City Treasurer.
HELPS OUT THE SCHOOL FUND NIGHTLY
Mach Interest on Outstanding War
rants Will he Saved as q Result
Of the Early Collection
Of the Cash

The f1rst 81, 900 to be dropped into the city
treasury for an 1898 liquor license was de-
posted Friday afternoon and vas speed
Wy itN)wed by another sum of similar size.
The money was handed over In payment for
the two licenses that were granted by the
Board OF Fire and Police Commissioner on
the day before. City Treasurer Edwards ex-
poets to be busy from now until the first
OF the year In receipting for $1,000 bills, as
the police board will continually be granting
licenses. The number Of applications for
licenses that have been filed with the secre-
tary Of the board was 1850 at noon today.
As fast as this money comes in 1t will
be used in taking up outstanding school
warrants, 500, 900 worth Of which are draw
Ing interest. A neat bit Of money will be
saved the school district in interest in this
way. Regarding this Deputy Treasurer Fead
says: 1T is unfortunate that the Board Of
Fire and Police Commissioners did not give
notice to the city treasurer that the license
money could be expected early. For In
stance, we are holding SIS, 900 to pay interest
on school bonds on January 1. Had We been
officially notified that the license money
would have been forthcoming in time to pay
this interest we could have taken up SIS, 900
worth OF the outstanding warrants and saved
the school district considerable interest.
1.-THE amount OF money that will be saved
the school district on the outstanding war
rants will depend entirely upon the celebrity
with which the police board grants licenses.
In round figures the amount Of such war;
rants is 500, 900 and they draw interest at
the rate Of $19.4o a day. II $1v0, 900 is paid
IN for saloon licenses by December 20, the
school district will be saved in interest
during the remainder of the month $194, a
tidy saving for ten days"
Deputy Fead will call the attention Of the
Fire and Police board to this possible piece
Of financiering In the hope that It will take
advantage Of the opportunity.

MORAL TEACHING OF YOUNG
Methods OF Discipline o
Children.

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 10.-The delegates to
the American Ethical union convention to-
day listened to a general discussion on the
Methods of Moral Instruction for the
Young"
DR.. John L. Elliott read the most inn
portant paper, relating how the work Of in
struction was carried on in New York. He
hrst took up the kindergarten branch. which
he divided into three classes, the frst or
youngest class being allotted to the fables,
the second to fairy stories and the third
class composed Of children between the ages
Of 8 and 9, who are taught bible studies.
He advocated the teaching of simple
stories such as the patriarchial age to be-
GIN with. He thought club classes should
be organized for boys between the ages OF
IA and IS, and subjects OF weight in accord
ance with their ages should be taken up,
beginning for instance with Friendship"
to be followed by Great Men," Greek His
tory" etc.
Percival Chubb Of New York, speaking on
the sam line, said the child must be
taught to form for himself q conception Of
the world. and that though the parents
were teaching a great deal there was q lack
Of reverence.
Miss Julia Stafford told Of how she con.
Quoted . Sunday school by using stories and
seed thoughts. She commended that variety
was the most important factor In the work
and simplicity indispensable.

HAVE SMALLPOX UNDER CONTROL,
City Authorities Believe the Disease
Will BE Prevented from Spreading,

City Authorities Believe the Disease
Will BE Prevented from Spreading.
The last twenty-four hours has developed
nothing new In the smallpox situation in the
northern part Of the city, No, additional
cases have been discovered and those who
have the disease are reported to be on the
road to recovery. AS time goes on without
new developments Of the Board Of Health
ohlcials are becoming more confident that
an epidemic can be prevented.
An investigation has disclosed the manner
In which the disease was brought to this
city. On October 81 two Of the children OF
one OF the afhicted families visited a house
hold In Nebraska City, the members Of
which were down with smallpox, although
the disease was diagnosed as chicken pox.
A few days afterward the children were
stricken with the disease and from them IL
spread to the family Of q relative who lives
in the neighborhood. In this fashion the
disease secured a foothold in the two fam
ilies In the vicinity Of Twenty-fourth and
Fowler avenue, three members of each be-
ing sick.
1t is more dificult to discover Just how
the disease spread to the third family
which lives several blocks north on the
boulevard and which Is not acquainted with
the other two families. The city physician,
however, is Of the opinion that the disease
was communicated at the Saratoga school,
the children of all three families being at
tendants at that school.
The four physicians who were selected by
the Board Of Education visited the Saratoga
school Friday afternoon for the purpose
of examining the children. They found that
but twenty-five Of the 500 pupils have been
vaccinated. Notices were at once sent to
the parents Of the other ATS that the chill
dren must be vaccinated before next Monday
or they will not be Allowed to attend the
school. Those who so desire will get treated
free at the school on Monday morning.
The medical examination almost caused a
rampage among the girls Of the school. The
boys and girls Of the two higher rooms were
separated and put in different rooms. When
the object Of the medical visitation was ex-
planned to the girls q riot almost resulted.
The girls commenced to cry and scream and
several tried to find hiding places in the
dressing rooms. One was so terror-stricken
that she escaped from the school and fed
across the country. The fears OF the girls
were finally dispelled and the examination
proceeded.
The prevalence Of the disease has resulted
In q great demand for the preventive virus.
Every physician in the city has been called
upon to vaccinate a goodly number Of his
clients and a considerable number Of people
have called at the office Of the city physi.
clan for the treatment.

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
A Remarkably successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, indigestion and
Troubles,
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI.
CINE.

A Remarkably Successful Remedy TO.
D~yspeDsta, Indigestion and
stomach Troubles.
Dr. Wurth IN commenting on the recent
discoveries In medicine said: There Is mona
which Is certain to be SO valuable and far
reaching In benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsla
Tablets, the new stomach remedy; I say far
reaching, because people little realize how
important a sound stomach and vlRorous
digestion Is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion Is the starting point Of con.
SUMPTION, heart disease, Bright's disease.
diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles;
why is this so? Simply because every nerve.
muscle and tissue In our bodies Is created
and nourished from the food we eat. II
that food Is, by reason Of a weak stomach,
compelled to lie for hours, a sour, fermsnt-
Ing mass Of half digested food, It poisons
the blood and nervous system. creates gas
which distends the stomach and bowels,
causing pressure on the heart, lungs and
other organs, and seriously impeding their
action.
He says further. the point to direct at
tention Ii not the nerves. nor heart. nor
lungs. nor kidneys, but the stomach, the
nrst cause OF all the mischief.
The remedy to use for Indigestion and
weak stomachs Is not some cathartic, but q
remedy which will digest the food, increase
the flow Of gastric Juice. absorb the gases,
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will accom-
plish exactly this result In any case OF stom-
ach trouble. because these tablets are COM
posed Of the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin.
Golden Seal and Bismuth. pleasant to taste.
and not being a patent medicine. can be
used by any one with perfect safety. be-
lieve stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure
any form OF Indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists at 80 cents or

SHOWN By BANK STATEMENTS
Material Prosperity In.
crease Despite the Close Of n
Great Exposition.

A summary OF the statements issued by the
nine national banks Of the city during the
last Few days makes evident O fact that will
De or interest to business men of the COM
munity. 1t Is that commercial interests are
not suffereing from the financial depres-
sion which was expected by many to follow
In the wake Of the exposition. On the con.
trary, the bank statements show a c%ontinu-
ancs Of the prosperity that has made itself
felt for the last year In ali branches of
trade.
Authorities on financial matters assert that
no surer Index Of a community's prosperity
can be found than bank deposits and these
have continued to increase steadily at about
the same ratio which has marked their
growth for more than a year, the closing of
the exposition having failed to cause the ex-
pected break. The rate Of increase during
the time Of the exposition was much greater
than 1t has been since, but the rate Of the
entire period continues to be about the same
as 1t was during the preceding year, 80 1-3
per cent.
In July, 1893, deposits wero 81, 632, 564. "a.
The statements Of September 20 showed an
Increase Of $15S. 665.7s up to that date and
there has been a further Increase Of $50, 49S. SO
up to December I. The amount of money
deposited by individuals Is q reliable means
Of Judging the plentifulness Of money, the
entire deposit not indicating much regarding
the finances Of a community, for the reason
that the deposits due other banks draw in
terest and do not represent local capital ac-
cruing as the result Of improving trade con-
ditions. According to the last statements,
individual deposits amount to more than
one-third Of the entire deposit, the
amount. $6.777.565.72, being a considerable
increase over the individual deposits Of the
statements Of September 20. The amount Of
overdrafts is much less than usual, the fig
ures Of the accompanying statement being
less by $4,000 than those of the preceding
statement. In September the total resources
showed an increase of 81, 900, 46O. SO. Decem-
Der 1 there was a further increase of $685.
