Modest Matrons Mortified by Plaster of
 Paris Legs.
 A number of women representing the church societies of Omaha re- Quested the police to compel the man. agers of the stores to remove from their windows the plaster of paris legs upon which the fancy hosiery Is dis played. The police did nothing, and thereupon the women appealed to the fire and police commissioners. Tbe latter have taken no notice, but the women declare that they will make q formal demand upon them to have tbe objectionable legs removed. Commls- sloner Robert Cowell is manager of one of the stores concerning which complaint has been made.
 'The fire and police commissioners are making an effort to clean up 0ma- ha," said one of the women, land yet they permit these horrid and vulgar models to be displayed In store win dows. They are disgraceful and im- moral, and they must be removed"

CRAZED BY CIGARETTES.
Seattle Girl Smoked Eighty seven
 "Coffin Nails" a Day.

SOHiil e Seys
 With Il record of elghty-Seven ciga- rettes per day, Isabel JenkS. a pretty girl and q member of we'll known family of Seattle, Wash, Is on the verge of insanity. The habit has such hold upon her that she lies awake at night to pull at the ''coftin nalls." When aged but twelve, little Isabel was taught to roll and smoke the little cigars" by brother, who is sailor She then secretly began habit which she cannot conquer. She began to be so irritable that her parents attempted to discover the reason for It. They have told the nelghbors that they did not know their daughter smoked. Her father is q cigarette "fend" and dld not notice the odor of tobacco on hls daughter. while her mother is so af- flicted with asthma that she never smelled the cigarette smoke or odor of nicotine.
 The girl began to stay out late at night. and to prevent her doing this her parents placed her In the care of the police matron, and to her she con fessed to using the weed. She says she has smoked cigarettes as fast as she could roll them.
 You see" she says. "the first thing in the morning when awakened was cigarette. and l usually smoked ten before coming down to breakfast. Through the day l would run to my room and read and smoke all could. In this way have often consumed two packages of tobacco per day. Where did l get the tobacco? Well, you see, father uses lots of tobacco, so when I was sent after the groceries always ordered several packages, and the gro ceryman. who was a very particular friend of mine. kept 1t from the old mans sight by changing the order on the ledger to read just supplies. l haven't smoked any for two days now. can't. you see"
 Miss .Jenks Is so weakened mentally that she may be examined before the insanity board and sent to the hospital for the feeble minded.

 F. E. Rader. who bus been in charge of the Rampant Experimental Station, arrived in the city last night and leaves on the Cottage City tonight. Mir.

 Juneau Record: Leo Guthrie, Skag- ways popular saloonist who has been visiting with his friends in Juneau for the last two or three days, returned home on the Georgia sot,a'. Mr.Guth- rle says that one of the most striking things to him in Juneau is the large number of dangerous stove pipes around in the business portion of the city. He says that were be property owner here he would see that there was an ordinance requiring safe chimpeys built. These stove pipes, no doubt look dangerous to MT. Guthrie, because he halls from the city of brick blocks and huge suokestacks. Ia Sksgwsy such a thing as 8 stove pipe or danger ous frstrsps in the way ot old un- occupied shacks is curiosity.
