DELAY OF INCORPORATION
Failure to Complete Funds Retards
LegaIizing Project to start
Steamboats,.

Owing to the fact that $4,000 has not yet
been subscribed, one or two OF the SUBJ
scription lists in circulation not having
been completed, the Omaha and Missouri
River Navigation company will not be in
corporated until sometime next week. 1t is
expected to organize about the middle of
the week.
The news from Washington that Con-
gresham Kennedy would probably secure
an appropriation for surveying the river,
in addition to the appropriation for snag-
ging, was hailed with delight in Omaha.
1T probably will take a survey to con-
vince some of those eastern people" said
@. w. Wattles. But to my mind this
doubt about the river being navigable Is
foolish. Wasn't it navigated at one time
for about fifty years? In 1857 there were
fifty steamboats, on the Missouri. In the
spring of that year 1900 tons OF freight
were carried by boat as far up the river
as Fort Benton, in Montana"

FOUND DEAD IN BED
Charles Carroll Dies at Room in Hotel
at Tenth and Howard
Streets.

The body of a man supposed to be
Charles Carroll, a stationary engineer, was
found about a. M, Friday in a room at the
old European hotel, Tenth and Howard
streets Coroner Bradley took charge OF
the body and will hold an inquest Satur-
day, as there is some doubt as to the cause
of the mans death.
Carroll is about 10 years OF age and went
to the hotel January 16, when he paid the
proprietor $50 in advance for his board and
had the receipt made out to Charles Car
roll" which is the only clue to his
identity. He had been on a protracted
spree and was very sick Thursday night.
Several unidentified friends stayed with
Carroll in his room until about II p. m.
Thursday and said they would return to see
how he was Friday.
AS the man was very sick Thursday
night the proprietor of the hotel went to
his room Friday morning to find he had
died sometime during the night, 1t Ii
thought his death was from natural causes,
probably heart failure.
Among the mans effects was a cheap
watch and 10 cents in change. He also had
a notebook in which was written the adj
dress of II. Pedersin of the X. b. c. Co.,
Vermillion, Kan. After this address was
written the notation, Cant find," evidently
in the handwriting OF Carroll.
The man had been employed for a few
days as a stationary engineer at one Of the
construction camps near South Omaha, but
little is known of him at the hotel.

Fashion Hints.

Fancy coats of all descriptions are going
TO be tremendously popular not only in the
summer. but in the early spring, and IL the
few models shown thus early are any
criterion, they deserve all the praise given
to them. One of these is a soft, glossy
English cloth, resembling broadcloth, ex-
cept for its extremely light weight, and
there is a loose jacket cut on empire lines
In back, that is with the hslf-length coat
and high waist line, cut bolero effect in
front. two pointed tabs with the coat slop-
ing from the arm sides dlagonally away
from the hips.
The suede petticoat answers the question
OF warmth for the stout woman. Either
soft chamOis or heavier leather is cut after
the pattern Of a perfectly fitting circular
skirt and set with absolute smoothness to
the hips by small cores. The suede reaches
10 the knee, where a ruffied pettcoat
fiounce OF silk or other fabric is attached.
To make the bodice of the decollete gown
sit snugly, bind it around the inside with
silk casing. Put in draw strings OF silk
ribbon and draw it up, letting the ends fall
into the inside.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LEAGUE
Convention Next June win Enlist In
terest of Men I'm Every
State.

Dr George Brown of Atlanta, Ga, presi-
dent of the American Anti-Tuberculosis
league has addressed circular to the
governors OF the several states, members
or congress, members of the state leRisla-
lures, the municipal officers of the leading
cities OF the country and leading news
paper editors, calling attention to the
meeting OF the league. which is to be held
at Atlantic City, N. j., June l to T. 1907
The league Is organized for the preven-
tion OF consumption, to educate the people
that this is preventable disease, to secure
state aid to poor consumptives and TO es-
tablish hospitals in every state in the
union. IT has vice presidents in every state
DR.. c. o. Robinson of Fremont being one
or the national wee presidents and aIso
president of the Nebraska Anti-Tuberculo-
sis league.
The last meeting Of the national league
was held in Atlanta, at which meeting over
5000 physicians were enrolled who had
taken an interest in the work and gave
assurances OF their cooperation. 1t is ex-
pected a great many more than this viii
be present at the Atlantic City meeting
and the circular calls upon all people who
are interested in the work to communicate
with the members of the league in their re-
spective states or TO the executive office
and give their moral support and cooper
alton in assisting these people who are
unable to take care OF themselves.
The governors of the several states
mayors OF cities and members of congress
are asked to name delegates to the Allan
tic City meeting, preferably physicians, in
order that definite plans may be arranged
for carrying out the business of the league

wives and Cooks.

That the knowledge OF cooking and
housekeeping is as necessary In the prepa-
ration for wifehood as Is other essential
knowledge in the preparation for business
occupations is the opinion OF Rev. A. ii.
Harnly Of Chicago who in a recent serman
said:
For the temporary occupation so many
take up while awaiting suitable opening
they prepare well enough. They take a
course in stenography or whatever they
decide upon as a temporary calling. and
because they prepare for II they succeed.
There is not one in a thousand who has
not a lurking in her heart. holy ambition
many Of them make conscientious, sys-
tematic preparation for Il?
What shall We think OF a woman begin
ming the practice Of housekeeping who can
not tell a porterhOuse from a pot roast or
a hoe cake from angels food2 Does It not
bear all the earmarks Of confidence
game?
During 1902 among those who applied at
the Chicago bureau OF charities for help
were 400 deserted wives. who afterward
obtained divorces, who admitted that they
could neither cook nor keep house, and yet
they expected TO keep husbands.
"A society butterfly may be a nice thing
TO look at. but il is a sorry thing 10 MI that
aching void which has a way OF returning
morning. noon and night. Said a woman
20 me- boastfuily. When / was married
did not even know how to make a biscuit.
What a thing OF which TO boast! No
wOmans education Is complete until she
has mastered the art OF housekeeping.

Vegetable YaIuen.

1.-THE Making Of a Housewife" says that
few American housekeepers know of the
value of chiyes. English and French cooks
do. III you are lucky enough to find a
bunch In the market carry it home and
put 1t In a pot Of earth. 1t viii keep YER
dant all winter in a sunny window. as
parsley does. Alta first glance you might
imagine II was grass, but each tiny blade
is a tube. like on Union top. Chives all
though more delicate, belong to the onion
family. A tablespoon chopped fine is a
delicious addition to a potato, lettuce or
endive salad; IT also gives a pleasant taste
TO soups or hashsd brown potatoes As
soon as it is cut it springs up again. One
bunch OF cbives, we'll watered, will give
you a winters fiavoring.
Another vegetable not generally known to
housekeepers is the chilli pepper. In the
markets there are several kinds-fresh and
dried. The ripest and most brilliant chilis
are not always the hottest. Some Of the
little green ones are very strong They
are used for sauces, salada. in stews. in
boiling or scrambling eggs. and In toma-
toes. They are very good stuffed. and are
sometimes eaten raw, as relish. Chilis
are used freely by Mexieans. but their
dishes are too hot for most Americans In

Miss Anslor remarked. as she folded UP
her release paper and drew up six stray
back hairs.
Continuing, Miss AnsIor said:
1T is quite a far cry from the bouyancy
OF stage life to the calm and peaceful sur
roundings of the pest house. When the
evening shadows heightened and dimmed
the outlook from the pest house my
thought wandered back to The Ginger
bread Man company. 1 would imagine I
heard Eddie Roadway singing, The Orig
inal John Dough- and then my reverie
would be broken by the hospital COW trying
to kick out a side of her barn. I under
stand DIR. Cornell induced the city council
to have a sanitary COW placed at the hos
pital. But 1 never knew sanitary cows
kicked like that one did. She must have
had some grudge. 1t does seem nice to get
back to the tall buildings, street cars and
the wide, wide world.
