MAYOR MOORES IS ENDORSED
West Side Improvement Club Fnys
High Tribute to Omahns Chief EN-
ecutIve, ReGardIess of Politics.

At a meeting of the West Side Improve
ment club held at Forty eighth and Leayen-
worth streets Monday night, resolution
was unanimously adopted in which the ad-
ministration of Mayor F. E. Moores is highly
endorsed This club is a bipartisan or
ganization and the endorsement of the mayor
is because of his splendid work for the
city, and not because of his political faith,
so the leaders say-and the leaders include
voters of the different parties. The resolu-
ticn follows
Whereas For nearly three years past
Hon. f. f. Moores has filled the office of
mayor with credit to himself and to the
city, and
Whereas During that trying period, when
two eXpositionS were held in Omaha and
thousands of strangers entered our gates,
he was ever watchful over the safety and
interests of the people over whom he was
chosen to preside, and
when public servant has been faithful to
the trust imposed in him for one term con,
fidence is continued IN MIN Tor second
term, therefore be II
Resolved. That we, as citizens and tax
payers, residing in the west end OF the e, seE-
enth ward, most heartily endorse f. r.
Moores for reelection.
Another resolution was unanimously
adopted in favor of City Councilman Mount.
The club endorses him for reelection on
the grounds that he has been an energetic
worker for the upbuiding of the territory
he represents and that no other councilman
has ever surpassed him as faithful repre-
sentative.
A committee composed of Edward Walsh,
John Wisler and Theodore Smith was ap-
pointed to interview the street railway man
agement and appeal for better service in the
west end The next meeting of the club
will be held Saturday night.

POPULAR LIBRARY FEATURE
Juvenile Department is Thrown Open
in It's New Quarters in Public
Library Building.

The juvenile department of the Omaha
public library was thrown open yesterday
in it's new quarters on the second floor
formerly occupied as lecture ROOM
The juvenile department, which was separ
ated from the regular circulation department
about four years ago, has grown so fast as to
require more space than could be given it
on the first floor. 1t was temporarily removed
a month ago to the room formerly occupied
as the librarians office, but that room wac
found to be too cramped and the library
board decided permanent quarters should be
allotted it on the second floor
This gives the children the best and most
airy room in the building, where they have
a special attendant to wait upon them and
tables and chairs for their to consult
books and magazines in the library The
children who have so far patronized the room
are delighted with the change and it prom
ises to become the most popular feature Of
the institution.

A statistician has proved that the nven-

to 100000 people, but he fails to state how
many cases of weak stomachs and dyspep-

occupations need Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. 1t helps nature TO bear the strain
which ensues from confinement ana it is a
wonderful medicine. No one realizes this
more keenly than the man or woman who
has been cured OF stomach trouble by its use.

OMAHA. Dec. 16.-To the Editor of The
Bee: The recent article in The Bee re-
ferring to the eXecrable condition of the
road leading to Forest Lawn cemetery is
true in every particular. The question is,
Why are other roads leading out of the
city improved while this thoroughfare
which is used a great deal more than the
road to the fair grounds, for example, is
left in such a wretched state of repair?
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction on
this point among residents of the neighbor-
