FIRST LADY IN FRANCE

"These days are crowning my life, -
said Nine. Fallieres, the wife OF
frances new president. Her utter
ance was grateful; the brazen note of
triumph was lacking, yet Nine. Fal-
Heres undoubtedly has created her
husband, and he recognizes that ne
owes every step upward to her stimulus
or her planning, altho she has always
remained in the background.
Fallieres is, indeed, fortunate in his
wife. For, be it understood, the role
of Nine. la President is highly i'm
portant within the Elysee palace, even
tho she has no official existence outside
of it.
President-elect Fallieres started life
with an excellent head for politics, but
he was VIGOROUSLY easy-going and in
active; he lacked ambition. He would
have been perfectly contented probably
to live and die respected lawyer or
the paternal mayor of a sun-drowsy
southern town. But one day at cere-
mony at Nerac an old priest predicted
that the mayor would become presi-
dent of the republic. Madame took
fire at the thought. Why should he not
become presidents
She established at Nerac true po-
litical salon on old-fashioned lines.
She toiled unobtrusively to make her
husband significant all over the coun--
tryside. She surrounded him with use.
full friendships and deftly shunted off
acquaintance whom the unsuspecting
man trusted, but who his clairvoyant
wife foresaw were likely to retard his
progress. She was all the more reso-
Lutte in realizing her ambition because
she was determined to justify herself
for having married a man at whom her
family sneered as crack-brained reyo-
lutionist; at best one of mind far
from serious, for Fallieres as a youth
was exceptionally frolicsome and as a
student unfailingly failed in his ex
aminations.

Fine china plates, saucers and sauce
dishes, whether decorated or not, are
better for having pads between them
when piled. If white felt circles are
not available, squares or ordinary clean
blotting paper will answer the purpose.

EVERY KNOCK is A BOOST
On This Theory Superintendent
Davidson Thinks Congress Has
Helped Spelling Reform.

". M. Davidson, superintendent Of the
Omaha public schools, believes the tide !n
favor Of simplifed spelling has gained such
a momentum that the expression of the
national congress against it's adoption will
not suff1ce to stem that tide; in fact su-
perintendent Davidson thinks the action OF
congress will tend to accelerate general
interest In the movement, which Mr..
Davidson personally favors. In this con-
nection he says;
~ am not surprised at the action Of con-
gTess, nor am I surprised at the willing
ness OF the president to rescind his order
when It appeared that congress was likely
70 work itself into a high state Of ex-
element over a relatively unimportant
question. Congress is composed of a body
Of conservative men, who, on all questions
not political are apt to be governed al
ways by tradition and authority. While I
do not agree IN toto with President Roose-
velt's and Chancellor Andrews position.
still feel that the movement in favor OF
simplihed spelling Is in the right direction
and, in spite OF congress- I feel that the
advocates Of simplihed spelling will ulu-
mRtely win their case before the American
public. Indeed. / am not sure that the
Adverse action OF congress will not tend

COMPLAINTS NOT JUSTIFIED
City Engineer Says Southwest Inl-
prOvers sAre Not Warranted
in Criticism.

City Engineer Rosewater contends that
the complaints Of the Southwest Improve
ment club members over alleged irregular1-
ties In the work being done on the pave
ment on Twenty-fourth street from Leav-
enworth to Vinton street are unwarranted
in view of the existing conditions. The en-
gineer said. in the first place, the work is
only comparatively being started; and, sec
ondly the paving will not be accepted by
the city before spring, at which time any
Irregularities which may Sist will be taken
care Of in the usual manner. The engineer
pointed to the fact that the estimate on
the work amounted 10 $47,0OO only 5000 OF
that sum having thus far been paid the
contractor. ....

GERMANS DISCUSS BUILDING
Plan Given Further Boost Toward
Accomplishment Thursday
Night.

A building for German societies in a central
location with main auditorium and club
halls and to cost 100000 is the proposition
made to the meeting of delegates from
nearly all Of the German clubs OF Omaha
at washington hall Thursday evening. The
plan was presented by the committee of
seven, headed by F. J. Freitag as chair
man, which was appointed at the meeting
OF the delegates a month ago to formulate
a plan TO erect home for the various
organizations In the city.
In detail the idea as laid before the
gathering is to organize and incorporate
building society and issue 5000 shares
of stock at IS a share, TO be taken up by
Germans in Omaha. No suggestion as to
architecture was given, but the understand
ing is to erect a structure with one large
hall, properly appointed for important
gatherings, and smaller rooms for the use
Of the clubs represented In the movement.
While he proposition is meeting with
warm support among a large majority Of
the German clubs. insuring Its fulfllment
sooner or later, the more conservative OF
tho delegates are not so sanguine about the
success OF the scheme in the immediate
future They believe the stone which has
been set rolling will continue TO move. but
that It will be slower in covering the
ground than those less acquainted with the
exact conditions and obstacles which must
be overcome have any idea.
The delegates attending Thursday nights
meeting Will report to their organizations
ana meet again in two weeks 90 report the
attitude Of those they represent. Il Is
likely many other plans will Be proposed
and some time will be required before one
Is hit upon which win meet the approval
OF ell The executive COMMITTEES will meet
again next Thursday evening.

COUNTY TAX RATE FIXED AT
 THREE PER CENT.
(rrom wsdnssdsy's Daily.)

AS predicted by the Journal Mine, several days ago. tho board of supervis. ors met as a board of equalization on Monday, and fixed the tax rate for the present year at 2 per cent.
 The levy for county purposes is di- vided as follows; County school fund. general. 50 cents; county general fund, % cents; county road fund, 25 cents interest on s52,163.7s territorial fund. cd debt. ( 1.2 cents; interest on other territorial funded debt, S2s6,576.29, 22 1-o cents; interest on Yavapni count v bonds of 1888. 2 cents; redemption fund of Yavapai county, refunding bonds of 1888, % cents. making the to. tal levy for county purpose, A2.25. To this is added the levy made for terri torial purposes by the territorial board of equalization. which was fixed at 70 cents. making the total levy for coun. ty and territorial purpose. the sum of 43 on each slO0 valuation.
 In addition to this in school dis. trict No. l, which includes this city, there is n special tax of % cents on each $IOO valuation of all taxable pro. perty bonded for interest and sinking fund on outstanding indebtedness, and also "a special tax of % cents on each slOO valuation of taxable property for the maintenance of the Prescott high school, thus making the grand to. tai for territorial, county and school purposes in school district No. I. A340 on each $iOO valuation as against $3 on each slOO valuation in all other DOT tions of the county.
 The reduction of the territorial rate from 9J cents on each $IOO valuation to 75 cents enabled the board of super visors of this county to reduce the rnte to t3. the board having previously de. cided t~ make the rate S3.20, before the territorial levy was announced.
 It is the lowest county rate for the past seven years.

They thought nothing of the matter, however, and Fleming left them and went to e room occupied by n roomcr in the house. It is believ. ed that it was her. the idea of self destruction first came to him. A 32. csliber Smith and Wesson revolver was lying on the bureau. He sat down upon the floor, and putting the weap- on to his temple, fired.
 No one heard the shot, hut the wom. en in the house smclt the powder. They rushed to the room, and saw Fleming sitting up grasping his throat in his hands. The still smoking re. volver lay on the floor. Just as they enmc in he gave gasp and died. The scene was too horrible for description.
