Later developments attending the recent

that the change was made for the purpose
Of amalgamating the different factions

organization through the recent controversy
with the journeymen plumbers.

Charges OF double dealing with the jour

TRADE TRIP TO BE SHORTER
Northwest Excursion in June Re-
vised Because of the Busy
Season.

1t has been decided to change the itin-
erary Of the Great Northwest trade ex-
cuTsion to be taken in June by the Com
mercial club and shorten the time enroute
by about week. This action was taken
at an important meeting of the trade ex-
tension committee of the club Thursday
afternoon and a committee was appointed
to revise the proposed itinerary so as to
decrease the time and expense OF the trip.
Owing to the fact the excursion comes at
the busiest season of the year a sufficient
number of representative business men
could not be secured to make the trip to
the coast and northwest. The excursion
has not been abandoned, however. and the
only action taken is to shorten the time
enroute and possibly dispense with visit
to the northwest coast states.
The itinerary as originally issued was
merely tentative and designed to bring
forth expressions from club members as
to the desirability OF making such pre-
tentious and lengthy excursion. As It Is
Intended that only the heads of business
houses shall participate In the excursion,
so as to make 1t a truly representative body
of Omaha business men, II has been found
necessary to reduce the time IN transit
and reduce the expense in like ratio.
The subcommittee, which was appointed
to revise the itinerary, will report to the
trade extension committee next Saturday,
when plans Will be laid TO secure the req
uisite number Of business men for the trip

Annie Vic Gates. who edits a sprghtly

the Omaha dog situation as follows;
They are having Il dog war IN Omaha in
dead earnest. Mayor Dahlman has decreed
that an dogs OF the city shall wear mug
zles, and the Humane society, led by the
well known DR. Miller. Is fighting the
thing as hydrophobia produced by the bite

on BY flight lie further says: Il never
saw a case so contracted and never saw
anyone that ever saw such case. The

lulnits OF our country and many years
before In a similar way the tradition has

is GREAT AID TO SCIENCE
New and Powerful instrument Brings
to Light Germs Not Hitherto
Known to Exist.

The most recent invention among
microscopes is an ultraviolet in
strument, so-called because it util-
ICES ultraviolet light. So power
full is this instrument that it dis
closes structures in disease and other
germs that were not known to exist
before it was designed, What this
means to science needs no COM
ment. By its means the entire ac-
ton upon germs Of the agents de-
signed to nullify their activity or
destroy them utterly can be OBJ
served,
In the spectrum red is the long
est wave Of light and violet the
shortest. Ultraviolet light is in
visible to the naked eye, though it
can be detected by the photograph
negative. Any microscope Will
make two points distinct if they are
not closer together than a wave
length Of light. The new instru-
ment which was constructed in the
mandatory Of Carl Zeiss, Of Jena,
Germany, acquisitions a light so far
beyond the violet that its length
wave is only half that of ordinary
and two points can be
seen twice as close together as by
the ordinary miscroscope. In other
words, its resolving power is twice
as great.

U S I've IN MISERY.

Recently a young Hindu woman
made an application before one Of
the Indian courts for a dissolution
of marriage. 1t was refused on the
ground that the union having been
contracted under the Hindu law, she
could obtain no relief. Some time
ago, the husband and wife embraced
Christianity, but the husband after
wards returned to his old faith, and,
not long after, married his brothers
widow. The first wife having re-
NAMED steadfast to her new faith,
revolted at the idea of having to
live with her husband under the new
condition, but the Hindu law does
not contemplate monogamy, and,
therefore, the poor girl is consigned
to lifelong misery.
