POLICE ON DRESS PARADE
Annual Inspection by Mayor, chief
and Commissioner Next
Thursday.

Owing to the rainy weather the annual
inspection Of the police force by the chief,
mayor and commissioners. scheduled for
yesterday, has been postponed for one
week, which means that the daily drills
Of the officers will continue that much
longer and more time will be given to
putting a finishing touch on stars and uni
forms. For several weeks Captain Hayes
has been putting the men through a drill
twice a day, and he expects to show. up
the handsomest and neatest lot Of men
that were ever inspected in Omaha. The
various city officers and the LENDERS Of the
city council have been invited to be pres
ent.
AS a result of the inspection 1t is likely
that the old stars now being worn by the
Officers, and which have been worn by them
for the last fourteen years, will be laid
on the shelf and replaced by new badges.
THE old stars are out of date and are
worn out" said the chief, land we need a
change. Some of them are as thin as a
knife blade, and a patrolman couldn't make
1t shine IL he we're to polish II all day.
The old star is a back number, and l hope
we can get badges, like they have in other
places. tn cost would be about $3.50, ana
while l don't want to be charged with
being an expensive ms l hope the change
Will be made. The stars we have look
like tin, and every person who desires can
get one that looks like them and very
easily impersonate an officer. 1 rave a de-
sign that l shall try to get adopted, and
when the council and board see how rusty
the stars look beside bright, clean uni
forms, believe the change will be made"

CA7ARRH RESULTS.
Many an Omaha Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the work OF
Doan's Kidney Pills In Omaha There is
plenty Of positive proof of this in the testi-
mony Of citizens. Such evidence should
convince the most skeptical doubter. Read
the following statement:
Mr.. Fred z. Hall, bOs North 32nd street,
employed at the railroad bridge two miles
from the city. says: II had a bad back for
about a year and In the winter Of 1898 II
became very severe. When lying down II
was very difheult to get up, and on stoop-
ing sharp pains caught me In the small of
the back, and my kidneys were weak. 1t
was for this that l procured Doan's Kidney
Pills at Kuhn & Co.'S drug store. Since
using them ! have had no occasion TO com
plain OF my back or kidneys and / have told
friends my high opinion Of Doan's Kidney
Pills and will personally corroborate the
above at any time"

MICHAEL ANGELO IN TROUBLE
Not the Shade of the Painter, but n
Dairyman who Was
in Love.

Al LaJour was arrested Wednesday by Con-
stable Knodell on complaint of Michael An
cello Armour, who, 1t is said, LaJour as
saulted and beat until Michael's face looked
like a piece Of rare beef. The troubles Of
the man with the painter packing house
name came from a wrestle with Cupid, in
which he lost we'll, but not wisely. Michael
and Mable, a sister Of LaJour, were ep-
ployed at Ruser's park, the former as a
dairyman and the latter as a domestic.
Michael's visions of Mable becoming a
milkmaid SO worked upon his Imagination
that>he forgot his cows and his pals and
followed in the footsteps of Mable to such
an extent that not only Mable became tired,
but Michael's employers discharged him for
not attending to his work. Then, 1t Is
charged, Michaels love turned to scorn.
The brother said that Michael went over
the country by day and by night and told
stories about Mable that we're not true. A
conference was called and Michael went to
the home Of the LaJours at Fifty-sixth and
Center streets to patch up a truce. The
patch would not stick, a fight was the re-
suit and Michael was badly worsted, he
says, by a half dozen men, though LaJour
claims that he put the fxin' on Michael
alone and unaided.

B'NAI BIRTH TO MEET HERE
Omaha Delegates Succeed In Land
ing Next Years Con-
ventfOn.

The grand lodge Of the B'nai Birth, or
Sons OF the Covenant, for the sixth district
OF America, is tc meet in Omaha next year,
probably in the month Of May.
This announcement was made yesterday
morning by Martin sugarman, Carl Brandeis
and Simeon Bloom, who attended this
weeks convention Of the lodge In Chicago
and who returned Wednesday night. Mr..
Sugarman represented William Mckinley
lodge, the youngest in the district, and the
other two men Nebraska lodge. Mr.. Sugar
man was the youngest delegate in the con-
v%ention, which met at the Palmer house,
with seventy-fve present from Nebraska,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota ana
Michigan, the states that comprise the dis
trict. He said:
w had some lively competition for the
convention, particularly by Detroit, but Sc
cured 1t as a recognition OF the advance-
ment that the lodges here have been max
ing. The grand lodge met here about eight
years ago, l understand, but has been
meeting In Chicago every year since.
Probably about seventy-fve delegates will
come to Omaha next year and to care for
them we have 100 or more members in Ne
braska lodge, which is a dozen and more
years old, and about forty In William Nc
Kinley lodge. which started only a year
ago with twenty members"

TIP TO THE SALOON KEEPERS
Chief Informs Them that
They Must stop Selling
TO Minors.

Chief Of Police Donahue has sent letters
to the saloon keepers of the city informing
them that the practice Of selling malt, spir-
itous or vinous liquors TO children, appren-
tices and servants under the age of 81 years
must be stopped. In the letters the chief
informed the saloon keepers that the law
provides a fine of SIS for each offense and
that he intends to instruct patrolmen to
see that arrests are made in every instance.
Il have been reliably informed" said the
chief, that the practice of selling beer to
children is becoming common and l intend
to put a stop to 1t. In most cases l am told
children are sent by their parents. But
even this l shall stop, for a child in going
to a saloon is thrown In contact with all
classes Of men,; they hear swearing, and the
influence on them is necessarily bad. I
have instructed patrolmen to arrest every
saloon keeper or bartender who sells to a
minor. and l hope to soon break up the
practice"

COLLECTION COSTS REDUCED
Eat@ mai sevenue Collector Makes
Estimates for Fiscal Year
About TO Close.

Z. B. Stephenson. collector Of internal
revenue at Omaha, is making up an esti-
mate OF the receipts Of the once Of the
fiscal year to end June 80. 1908. According
TO this estimate the once will receive as
much money as 1t did the year before the
war revenue law went into effect, in spite
OF the fact that since that time the states
OF North Dakota and South Dakota have
been taken from this district. The total
receipts are estimated at about SO. 600, 900.
The removal OF the two Dakotas from the
Nebraska district will max a saving in the
expense Of collections. When the war rev.
enue law went into effect the collections
had been made in the three states at a cost
OF LIS per cent OF the total. Last year,
while the war tax was effective. the cost
had been reduced to about LIS per cent and
this year the estimated cost is IA per cent.
This reduction 10 due solely to the change
In the district, as the cost Of collection In
the Dakotas made the average for the dis
tHet comparatively high

WAIT FOR COUNCIL TO ACT
Opponents to Capitol Avenue Market
in No Hurry to Begin
Lawsuit.

The Omaha grocers and others opposed TO
the Capitol avenue market place have not
yet filed their petition for an injunction
against the council to restrain that body
from building the house on the site to
which they object, but according to the
statement of one OF the active members Of
the body which is to bring the action, they
are ready to file the papers as soon as it
becomes evident that the council really
means to proceed in the matter. Said he:
The petition would have been filed last
week, but we were assured by a city official
in a position to know that no active steps
would be taken toward the erection of the
Capitol avenue market house at this time
and that we will know in time to get out
the Injunction before such action is AIKEN.
We are not hunting litigation, simply de-
string to protect our interests. and II we
can maintain a market place where we de-
sire 1t without going into the courts we
want to do It."

so-called estimates he processes 20 give
are nothing more than guesses. His esti-
mate. for example, Of the cost Of manu-
featuring gas is inaccurate and absurd
What is the cost, Them" asked Council
man zimman.
II don't know" answered the attorney.
1T would be a very difcult job to get at
the facts necessary from which to adduoe
anything like an accurate estimate, and
the only estimate / know Of IL that OF
James Gilbert, deceased, who was formerly
gas Inspector Of Omaha. He said the cost
Of making gas was so cents per thousand
feet, but admitssd that that did not include
the cost Of distribution. or Of maintaining
an ONCE force, laborers and other inciden-
tails, which probably would more than
double the original cost"
Mr.. Pritchett went on TO say that Mr..
McIntosh's estimate OF the value Of the
company's stocks was excessive, because
the common stock had never paid dividends
ind the preferred stock had never paid
dividends except in two extraordinary
years. the years OF the two Omaha exposi-
lions.
Councilman Zimman said: but the
records show that you made more gas in
1901 than during any previous year. How
do you account for that?"
81 don't know what the figures are"
answered Mr.. Pritchett.
Were the expositions illuminated by
gas?" asked Mr.. Mcintosh.
mo, they were not. The fact that divi-
dends were paid those years may have been
due to the fact that the cost Of manu-
facture was less, or to any one Of a dozen
other conditions. However, that is neither
here nor there. It's not what the plant
was worth in 1898 that we're trying to get
at, but what It is worth now"
Mr.. Prichett closed by saying that It is
wrong to assess common stock. which has
no value other than that a majority Of 1t
enables the holder to control the directory
and say who the officers Of the company
shall be-. He repeated the statement made
early in the hearing hat the standard Of
assessment employed in Omaha was not 40
per cent. THE standard adopted was 40
per cent" said he. but the standard en-
ployed was 10 per cent"
Attorney John l.. Webster, representing
the street railway company, said that on
account of the death of Mr.. Goodrich he
would have to ask on behalf Of his COM
pany that an extension Of time be granted,
as he was not ready to go on with the hear
ing. IAN accountant will have to be

in such a way that they show the earnings
Of the company for any given year-that is,
the fiscal year and the calendar years are
not co-terminal-both do not begin on the
first Of January"
Have you sent your books to New York
or C~hicago?" asked Mr.. Mcintosh.
"No, sir, the books are in Omaha"
Will the witnesses know anything about
the affairs Of the company"
Mr.. Webster assured the board that the
hearing would be fair, open and candid.
Attorney McCulloch Of the water COM
pany said his concern would not be ready
to go on with the hearing at 2 o'clock,
since 1t had understood 1t was to follow
the street railway company. He was told
that he would be given until 4 o'clock to get
ready.
