j. A. Beck, president of the Young Mems
Republican club, has called a meeting Of
the club to be held on Thursday evening at
the council chamber. The object Is to re-
organize the club and elect officers for the
year. This club Is one OF the prominent
political organizations in the city and every
member Is urged to attend the called meet
Ing. AS for the officers to be elected there
seems to be feeling that Henry c. Murphy,
the present city prosecutor, will be named
as president. George Francisco, also a
well known republican worker, is being
mentioned for secretary. The present Sec
retary Of the club, Earl Matthews, is kept
at Lincoln most of the time and cannot
possibly devote the time necessary to the
work in hand. therefore he deems II best
to announce that he cannot be a candidate
for reelection. While Mr.. Beck has
worked hard as president OF the club, he
thinks 1t better to step down and allow an
other man to be chosen for the place. One
year ago Mr.. Murphy was candidate for
the presidency OF this club. but was beaten
by MIR. Beck in a friendly contest. This
year 1t is thought that there Will be no op-
position to Murphy
AS soon as the work OF reorganization is
completed 1t is the intention OF the mem
bers to start right in on the spring cam
paign and use every effort to elect repub-
lican councilmen and republican members
of the Board OF Education.

COnfcssinu Judgment.

City Prosecutor Henry c. Murphy Is seri-
ously considering the question Of refusing
in the future to confess judgments when d.
rected by the city council. Almost imme-
diately after assuming the duties of his
office City Attorney Lambert served notice
that he would not go into court and contes,
judgments, as he did not consider such sc-
tion legal. Since Lambert declined to con-
fess judgments the task has devolved upon
City Prosecutor Murphy and he begins to
feel that the practice ought to be stopped
Murphy is under heavy bonds and he feel.
that he ought to be very cautious in what
he does, especially as bis bond is considera

No remedy In the world means so much

No remedy in the world has been indorsed

whose only motive is their love for their
fellowmen, and the hope that what Pains
Celery Compound has done for them 1t

VIII Discuss LegislatiOn.

At today's meeting of the Real Estate
exchange some indication will be given OF
the prospects Of legislation affecting the
real estate interests of Omaha at the
present session OF the legislature. The
committee of the exchange which met the
house committee at noon yesterday will
make its report and half score of members
Of the exchange who formed the deputation
will have something to say as to the sort
Of reception they were accorded.
1t will be remembered that the committee
was appointed especially to enter a pro-
test against the bill proposing amendments
to the Omaha charter by which the SAL
aries of some OF the city officials would be
raised. II was felt, however, that II a
committee OF the exchange was to be In
Lincoln at all 1t might as we'll do little
promotion work In connection with other
measures which are in line with the de-
sire Of the exchange to put the rights OF
owners and tenants. OF buyers and sellers
and OF the agents themselves on the sound
est possible footing.
The members who went to Lincoln yes
terday morning on this errand included !:
]. w. Lytle, chairman OF the committee;
John N. Frenzer, j. w. Robbins, A. L.
Reed, F. ID. Wead, j. f. Flack. w. Farnam
Smith and some others, and on the same
train were Herman Koun,ze and Henry w.
Yates, representing some OF the heavy
property owners, who went to give their
support to the arguments Of the exchange.
In addition to the discussion on leg
islation which will be precipitated by TIE
report OF the committee, the matter OF '.uc-
tion sales will again come before tn; ex-
change today The auctions committee may
ask for another week to decide uIon its
report and II may request more definite
instructions on the question of public bid
ding. This is a point on which there is a
strong line of leverage, which appears to
be based on the position of different agents.
Some of those who have been longer In
the business. or who from other reasons
have a large number of properties on their
list which they would like to put upon
the auction block, favor the free admission
OF the public; while those who are less
likely to have property to sell would like
to allow only members OF the exchange to
take part in the bidding.
Another point that is rather complicating
the situation is the question Of a license.
II is realized that IL the auction Is to be
public one II will be necessary for the
exchange to have an auctioneer's license
toward the cost Of which each sale must In
some wav contribute. As the simplest way
OF providing for this 1t Is urged that a
| small percentage Of the commission on
each sale should 40 to the exchange. This
however. means Just that much less fol

SCHOOL, BOARD WINS OUT
Bill to Put school Levy I'm Hands of
Mayor and Council Indefinitely
Postponed.

The mayor and city council Of Omaha
are not likely to have the power to fix the
amount Of the public school tax levy con-
ferred upon them. At a meeting OF the
senate committee on public education held
yesterday It was decided to indefinitely
postpone consideration Of the bill provid-
ing that the mayor and council shall de-
termine the amount Of the school levy.
Most OF the members Of the house commit
tee were present at the meeting and they
concurred In the action OF the senate COM
mittee. This indicates that the right to
hx the local school levy will remain ex-
clusively with the Board OF Education.

GOT HER COFFEE.
And 1t PaIled Her Ont.

Doctor after doctor said should not
drink strong coffee. 1t struck me as Pc
culiar that this advice should be SO uni
versal
II have been a school teacher and few
years ago began to feel l was pretty well
worn out and nervous, found that l was
depending more and more upon my coffee
to carry me through my days work. Many
times, when teaching in a boarding school
/ have asked the matron for a cup OF coffee
strong because ] felt could not get
through the recitation without It.
"Of course l was living on borrowed
strength and two years ago the physical
crash came. Nervous prostration and neu-
rasthenia. For weeks l could not even
walk or stand alone. The physician said IL
would be two or three years before I could
recover so as to be able TO do anything.
My appetite was gone, l could not sleep.
and ! was In "a desperate condition, nervous
and otherwise.
II was wanting coffee very badly, but 1t
was kept from me. One morning about
three weeks after the breakdown the nurse
brought me cup of coffee OF delicious
flavor. May have IT.? exclaimed. Yes.
the DR.. says II will not hurt you now l
could not understand II and did not try,
but just drank the coffee and had II every
morning after that.
My appetite began to return with the
first cup and had been enjoying 1t for a
month or more when sister said: Does
your coffee taste as good as 1t did before
you were sick?' oh yes / said, 'it
never tasted better is 1t strong enough
to suit you?' said 1t could not be i'm
proved DO you know she said. you
are not drinking mocha or java but Postum
Food Coffee" and so 1t was, every grain OF
II.
II had often scoffed at Postum Food Cof-
fee before ! knew OF its value, and It's de-
llcious flavor.
1T has been Saviour to me. Instead of
waiting two or three years to recover
strength. ] am now in good working condi-
ton six mouths after the breakdown, and
feel better than have in ten years past"

Creek Mich.
There is a reason for such rapid recovery
Postum Food Coffee contains the natural
phosphate of potash and albumen from the
grains OF the field. which nature has sent
for tho use OF humanity In the body. These
materials combine In the human system
and go to make up the gray matter that
fills the nerve cells In the brain and all
through the structure, We must furnish
proper materials if we would build the
proper body.
You can get these materials in a delicious
form in Postum Food Coffes.

SixtY Nearn Ago.

On Monday evening last the South Omaha
lodges of odd Fellows and Rebekas ten
dered reception and banquet to Hon.
David Anderson, the Oldest member. Dele
cations OF Odd Fellows we're present from
Omaha, Papllion and Springfield. Past
Master r. j. Etter acted as master of
ceremonies and Coonel Samuel Gosney, L. 7.
Farnsworth and others spoke. The re.
marks were highly complimentary as to the
standing in the community of Mr.. Anderson,
In replying to the brief addresses Mr. An
derson related experiences OF sixty years
ago. He said In part:
"Sixty years ago there were no cannon
BALI railway trains with large. elegant
sleeping cars attached. speeding rapidly
across the American continent at the rate
of fifty miles an hour; there were no fast
sailing steamships conveying the elite and
wealthy citizens from New York to Liver
pool and Bremen In Ave to six days; there
we're no electric and cable street cars, and
there we're no gas and electric light plants
established to illuminate our homes, streets
and highways.
sixty years ago Prof. Morse informed
the American public that he had in
vented system. OF telegraphy whereby a
citizen of Philadelphia would be able TO
communicate with electricity with a citizen
OF new 1OTh city. ne was at once pro-
nounced lunatic by 90 per cent
OF the people, but that fact did not dis
courage or prevent this man of science from
perfectlng and putting into operation the
present useful telegraph system. There was
no method of telephoning and the man who
would have suggested such ridiculous
proposition would have been pronounced
insane and placed In the same class with
Prof. Morse.
Sixty years ago there were no sewing
machines and but few musical instru-
chimes, moving machines, horse rakes, rid
ing plows and cultivators or steam thresh.
ing machines. There were no millionaires,
no national banks. no professional tramps,
no Coxey's armies.
Mammoth manufacturing plants, capi-
talized with millions Of dollars and employ
ing thousands Of workmen, were unknown.
America did not, at that early period in it's
history, produce, manufacture and export
to foreign countries over one billion of its
product, as was done in the last year. The
industries. except agriculture and stack
raising, were quite primitive. A few iron
forges and sprinkling Of woolen and cot
ton mills were established in the larger
water courses In Pennsylvania, New York
and Massac chusetts. The small plants usu-
ally employed from seventy-fv to $50
hands and their wages ranged from 80 cents
to $l.75 per day OF fourteen and fifteen
hours. At present the same class of labor
commands from 81 to $5 per day of eight
and ten hours"

Pertaining to Realty

the agents, and, anyway, II only agents
are to bid, the agent who buys must divide
with the agent who sells. The question
arises VIII there be enough in 1t to make
1t an object to either party?
1t Is the unanimous feeling that some
inducement beyond the certainty OF a sale
must be held out to bring the sellers into
the field. One party contends that this OBJ
ject can best be reached by making the
sales as free as possible, in the expectati tion
that more buyers will attend and the bid
ding will be brisker, while the other party
holds that In order to secure large at
tendance Of buyers it will be necessary to
give every agent an inducement TO bring
In clients.
Mining Investments Attractive.
did you ever notice that within recent
years there has been renewed inclination
among Omaha people to put their money
into mines?"
This question was asked by one OF the
most active real estate men in Omaha the
other day, who had been appealed to by q
client to sell some of his property In this
city, because he was needing cash. In this
case the mining investments were ap-
parently not as profitable as in some
others.
lt Is well known tnat Montana copper Is
yielding large monthly income-estimated
in the neighborhood OF $25 ,00O-to an Omaha
bank president and his son. Then f. w.
Nash and Guy C. Barton have had finger
in the gold and silver pie OF Mexico for
eight or ten years past, from which they
have drawn upward of a quarter of a mil
lion, Other capitalists are heavily inter-
ested in properties near chihuahua, Mex
leo. from which one Of them alone is draw
ing sufficient to pay the salaries of half a
hundred clerks.
Apart from these instances, where a few
individuals are getting large returns from
mines which they practically own. there are
hundreds of other Omaha people who are
helping TO develop properties in Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, British Columbia and
other places, which, in most cases, have not
yet reached the point where they return
any profits to those who have put their
money into them. One OF these concerns
has expended over $4,000 in development.
About $4,000 or $4,000 In ore has been
taken out, but all Of this has been put back
into the properties, which have not yet
reached the paying point.
About a hundred Omahans have contrib
uted toward a sum OF $4,000 that has been
expended In the purchase OF 200 acres in
southwestern Colorado. near the country of

MAY DRAW THEIR PAY NOW
Salaries of Deputy County Attorneys
Fixed by Judges of the Dis
trict Court.

The judges OF the district court met yes
terday and fxed the salaries OF the three
deputy county attorneys at $1,000 per an
mum each. The deputies have not re-
ceived any pay since the beginning Of the
year on account OF the objection to the
allowance Of their salaries made by County
Commissioner Harte, who contended that
they could not be paid until the amount
Of their compensation was fxed by the
judges. Mr.. Harte's position has been
sustained and the salaries will probably
be allowed at the next meeting of the
county board.

Three physicians have filed bills with the

MILESTONE. It will be remembered that
milestone died from the result Of a blow
inflicted in a drunken midnight fight just
over the line in Sarpy county Ave or six
weeks ago. Wallace Hike is now charged
with having struck the blow. One doctor
wants $50 for his services in trying to save
Whetstone's life, while two others ask Slt
apiece from the city. These bills will be
referred to the commissioners OF Sarpy
county for adjustment, as South Omaha
officials do not consider that the municipal
