Days REGENERATION Light.

Yesterdays registration revision was not
out of the ordinary and the chances are
that there will be no unusual vote this
spring. The candidates in the different
wards have exerted themselves to see that
all new comers are registered, while those
who need transfers have been left to think
of the matter themselves. On account OF
the lack of interest in the coming contest II
is though that the vote will be light in all
of the wards. In councilmanic circles there
is little doing although some quiet work is
going on all of the time. The outgoing mem
bers OF the council are: Barrett Kelly
Trainor and Mort. Those who hold over rre
Bennett, Clingen, Fanferlik and Wear. OF
the outgoing members Kelly and Trainor
are candidates for reelection.

ARE MARRIED IN A SALOON
CoIOred Couple Welded i'm Front of
the Bar and All Hands Take
n Drink.

An incongruous scene was presented yes
terday afternoon at 2:3O in Goldsmith's sa-
LOOM when the words of the marriage VOW
were pronounced by Justice Houck John
Marion of To2eka, Kan, and Daisy Whit
field, both colored, were the contracting
couple.
The saloon was crowded with men and
women of both colors and from all stations
in life, each appearing equally interested in
the strange scene. Some perhaps thought
it a strange place for such a ceremony and
rude jests Jared on ones ears after 1t was
over. The couple stood at the end of the
bar as the justice pronounced the words OF
the ceremony. After it was completed they
took their places at the bar and proceeded
to celebrate the occasion.

Rheumatism the Most Common DIS

The most universal disease that affects the
human body is rheumatism, the cause and
nature of which is known to a very linn
tied extent even by the best informed phys-
clans. There are several forms of it and
nearly everybody is liable to an attack of it
in some form. When in the back and loins
it is called lumbago in the hips, sciatica;
in the face, neuralgia. While there is some
doubt as to the origin and nature of this dis
ease there is none whatever as to the best
treatment. Many years OF experience has
fully proven that there is nothing so good as
Chamberlain's Pain Balm One application

The South Omaha postofIice is forging
ahead, the receipts for the year ending
March 81 amounting to s53,9SS.77 The end
of March closed the first quarter of the year
and postal receipts amounting to $14 ,573. s.
are shown. This is a big increase over the
first quarter, as compared with 1898, but the
figures are not available on account of the
statements having been misplaced in the
vault by the former postmaster
For the year ending March 81 the money
orders issued numbered $3.50, amounting tc
$45, ,27S.S1. International orders issued during
the same preiod numbered 504 and
amounted to $6,226.03, making a total OF
money orders issued of $51 ,504,S4.
Domestho money orders paid numbered
S6OS and amounted to $77,96743, while the
international orders paid numbered eighty
four, amounting to $3,064.S5. The business
of the office in all departments shows a
steady increase and with the increase in
revenue, the salary of the postmaster will
be raised correspOndingly. One year ago the
postmaster general served notice that the
receipts at this point had reached $4,000
consequently it was raised to the first class
at the commencement of the fiscal year
