warning to Registrars.
! The city clerk thinks il advisable that
there be public warning issued TO those
who were appointed by the mayor and
council registrars for the duties of the
autumn registrations. Many of them do
not know, it appears that If they fail to
qualify for the Offices to which they have
/ been appointed. and are not legally eX-
cused from the necessity of qualifying,
; they are subject to fine of from $50 to
800 and may he committed to Jail until
! the fine is satisfied. AS yet only eighteen
have appeared before the clerk and not
more than eleven have qualified. The date
Of registration is drawing near and IL the
registrars do not appear soon they will be
under the ban of the law.

I room for about four new nurses TO serve

cupancy.
Fined for Annoying women.
Harry D'Amstead was fined yesterday
morning in police court for accosting a
woman on the streets He was arrested at
the instigation of Mrs. Bell toward whom
he made the undesired advances. She said
he not only spoke to her, but followed her
on the streets. The young mans excuse
was that he thought the woman was an
acquaintance Of his and for that reason he
spoke to, her. The judge, in plRcipg the
fine, declared 1t was high. time that some
steps were taken to check the brazen IA
miliarity OF a certain class of young men.
The chief of police has expressed his. SEN
timent also that the South Omaha depart
ment was inclined to be exceedingly Sc
we're against this class of offenders "Of
course" said the chief, there are. women
on the streets at times who are willing to
receive these unconventional advances, but
there is a safe rule for all men to follow
and that is not to make an advance until
invited" The frequent insults mentioned
so often OF late, he says. come perhap.
! from the habits which sprout at carnival
time and are carried from the grounds &c
the streets. All women who have any pre-
tentions to character should at once appeal
TO the police rather than submit to humili-
atoms. The chief is at all times ready tc
assist them.
