CHORAL SOCIETY ORGANIZES
Musicians of Omaha Enjoy Treat
and Get Together to Promote
Their Interests.

As a prelude to the meeting in the in
terest of the new Choral society held in
Hospe's hall Tuesday night, rare little
musical treat was given, which afforded in
PRODUCTION to two new musicians-a vocalist
and an inStrumentalst-and also gave the
listeners opportunity to hear favorite sing
ers who have been in the city for some time.
Much interest was manifested in Miss
Ella Ethel Free, the young pianist, who
created such furor Sunday at the Bellstedt
concert and her playing electrified the Sc
brilliant techniq, but added much more
poetic fervor than at her first appearance
the surroundings and the aud ence being
more conducive to good results.
Her first number was Moszskowski' S
| most renowned concert etude in G fiat major
a piece Of many difficult passages, the read
ing being alone a task of no mean proper
tions. The performer played the study as
though she loved it and gave the music a
fine Interpretation. After the fatterng re-
cepton that followed her appearance she
! responded with Chopin's F sharp major
impromptu, which was also received with
| great enthusiasm.
The other musician was Mr. Garessen,
| who displayed bass voice of exceptionally
| good quality and timbre in King Duncan's
| Kellog sang very sweetly Without Thee"
| by DHardelot and as an encore gave "My
| Wee Bird" berceuse by Roy Smith, a
| Nebraska composer, who has caught the
ear OF the public with several dainty songs.
| quartet, comprising Mrs. Thomas j.
Kelly, Miss Bishop, Dan Wheeler and Mr.
Garreissen, sang The Water Lily" by Gade
and Good Night, Good Night, Beloved" by
Pinsuti.
Mr.. Hospe made a short speech outlining
the policy of the society, in which he urged
| the people present to work for its success.
| Mr. Kelly made a bright talk recounting
| the choral societies which had been organ
| lied in the past and telling how they one
| by one had expired after more or less use
full careers. Mr.. Gareissen pledged his eff
forts and hearty support in short address
| The society was organized and ]. NJ Wool
worth selected for president w. s. Popple-

dents, the executive committee and other

n number of Omaha musicians have signi-
ned their intention Of joining the organiza-
tlon and the prospects at this time are very
hattering for a successful society before the
winter season opens.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crense of Heart Trouble.


Heart trouble, at least among the Ameri-
cans, is certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry OF American business life, it is more
often the result of weak stomachs of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable: but not
one case in hundred OF heart trouble is
organic
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastrc.
In another way also the heart is affected
by the form OF poor digestion which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food There is a feeling of oppression and
heayiness in the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomaCh on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises pslpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery. which irritates
and weakens the heart,
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation Of food
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation like Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets. which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant
convenient form.
II is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use of stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets al
meal time Will cure any form Of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach
Full size package OF these tablets sole

stomach troubles mailed free. Address +

A coroner's jury met Tuesday for the pur-
pose of investigating the death of John Reid
who was fatally injured at the Cudahy Soap
works last Thursday The jury visited the
scene of the accident and then returned tC
Heafeys undertaking rooms to listen to the
testimony offered. 1t appears that a part ol
Reid's regular work was to clean the floor
at the base of the elevator shaft At the
time of the accident Reid had gone about
this duty without notifying the man in
charge of the elevator that he was at the
bottom of the shaft. The elevator de-
scended and crushed Reid so that he died
after suffering for about six hours. The
jury returned a verdict that Reid came to
his death through his own carelessness.

Demand for Houses Continues.

Real etate dealers assert that the demand
for houses is still on the increase. No
sooner is a house erected than IT is rented
and as very few people are moving away the
demand is far in excess of the supply A
great many small houses have been erected
here since last April and every one is now
occupied. Scarcely a vacant house is to be
found in any part of the city and rents are
quoted as steady to stronger. A conserva-
tive estimate now places the population Of
South Omaha at 10000. The growth OF the
city within the last two years has been re-
markable 1t is predicted that next spring
the building boom will be renewed unless
the cost of material is too high.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Repairs to the asphalt pavement on
Twenty-fourth street cost the city about 81
500 this year. The street is now in a fair
condition and 1t is expected that no more
repairing will be needed until next spring.
When 1t was first decided to make the re-
pairs City Engineer Beal went over the
ground and estimated that the expense would
be $3.50. No action was taken by the council
for several weeks after this estimate was
made and the holes in the pavement wore
deeper so that when the making of actual
repairs commenced the cost OF the work was
considerably increased. Mayor Ensor sug
gosted some time ago that a contract be made
with some paving company to keep the street
in first class condition for a certain sum per
year He favored advertising for bids for the
work and letting contract to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder This plan was informally
discussed, but no action was taken by the
| municipal family. City Engineer Beal also
| favors a plan similar to the one suggested
| by the mayor. Mr.. Beal asserts that in
Omaha contracts are made with paving COM
panies for the keeping in repair of asphalt
covered streets, the city paying from to s
| cents per square yard for the entire surface OF
| the street. There is in the Twenty fourth
| street pavement about 10000 square
yards, and II a contract at 3 cents
a yard could be made this would
| mean $4,000 a year Considering tbs
condition of the street and the age of the
pavement, Engineer Beal considers that a
! contract at $4,000 a year would be a splendid
investment for the city. The life of the pave
ment would be prolonged by such a contract
as the paving company would be expected tc
make repairs every couple of months, or as
often as holes appeared in the surface. I'm

The Denver Stockman has this to say Of
sheep feeding conditions in Nebraska: The
big Nebraska feeders are getting down to
business. They have concluded that prices
on southern lambs are not too high when
the cheap corn is considered. They are going
after the lambs now and buying them u
train loads Another conclusion has been
reached, and which Is in the main RESPONSE
BILE for the heavy buying going on now, not
only in the south. but the west as well. The
beef supply available next spring does not
mand. consequently there is a great likeli
hood that beef will be high. To counteraCt
this high market and to supply such con-
sumers as will not find themselves able TO
buy the high priced beef all the time there
is strong possibility that much mutton will
be consumed, and these sheep buyers are
getting ready for such demand
THE latest purchase of forty carloads of
New Mexico lambs and yearling wethers by
| a big Nebraska feeder at a cost Of $3.50 per
| head at point Of loading Is price that can
| not help but render a handsome profit when
| marketing time comes"
| Since January l over 100000 sheep have
been marketed here and it is predicted that
| heavy receipts Of sheep will continue for
| some time to come. In order to prepare for
| the increase in the sheep trade which is ex-
| pected the stock yards company will shortly
commence the erection OF another barn The
| plans for the new structure are not entirely

women Voters Must Register.

OMAHA, Oct. Ito the Editor of the
Bee As the time for registration of voters
who desire TO vote at the ensuing election ap-
proaches, it might be proper to give public
notice OF a fact which may not be generally
understood, that under an amendment OF the
law pertaining to the qualifications OF
electors at school elections, passed at the
last session of the Legislature, and found
in section /, chapter SO of the session laws
OF 1899, women who desire to vote at such
elestion must first cause themselves to be
registered the same as male electors
1t is possible that there may be slight
room for an opinion that this amendment
is in conflict with provisions on the same
subject found elsewhere in the statute and
which have been neither repealed nor
amended in conformity thereto, but l be-
lieye that upon an examination of the
whole subject, it will be found that the
amendment referred to must prevail and
that women, if they would eOsure their right
to vote for school officers at the coming
election. must first sumbit themselves for
registration the same as men. Respectfully
