FIX up EAST SIDE.
improvement Association Talks of
Parks and Drainage.

The East Side Improvement asso-
citation held it's regular meeting last
night and brought up the question of
relief from the overflow of Biddle
creek at Sixth and Locust streets. A
committee will present a petition to
the council next Monday night asking
that the thing used at this place for
drainage be enlarged from eighteen to
twenty-four inches in diameter in or
der to properly carry off the water
from the overflow.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting and splendid interest shown
Councilmen ]. j. Lannan and Peter
Miller were present at the meeting.
The question of the three proposed
parks for the East side were brought
up and discussed. There is an over
whelming sentiment in favor of these
parks. No word has yet been received
from the Santa Fe in regard to what
the road will do about the tract east of
the depot wanted for park purposes.
1t is hoped that the road will either
donate this tract for park purposes or
lease it for long term of years. The
worst that the road could do would be
to place reasonable price on the
tract. AS soon as word is received
from the Santa Fe the East side park
question will again be taken up with
the council. The petitions for the
parks are now in the hands of the
streets and walks committee of the
council AS soon as the cost of the
tracts Of land proposed for park pur-
poses can be determined the commit
tee will report to the council and ac-
ton taken by that body.

What does it mean to love God? 1t
means first of all a grateful recognition
of the power that brought us here The
man who loves God is grateful for the
morning and the evening light and the
evening glory, glad for the changing
seasons of winter and summer, autumn
and spring. He is glad for the land
scape bathed in sunlight, glad for the
sky set with myriad stars. He is glad
Tor the friends who bring him joy,
glad of life because it gives him a
chance to love to work, to play and to
look up to the stars A man who is
not grateful for these things who goes
through life grumbling at the world
and at the people in it, has not caught
the Christian spirit, whatever may be
his professionally. Leon A. Harvey,

RESIGNS THE CHAIR.
President Roosevelt Calls Governor
Noel to Preside at Conference

Washington, May 13.-President
Roosevelt opened the conference of
governors this afternoon. He called
Governor Noel of Mississippi to the
chair to preside, explaining that his
duties would not permit of his being
in constant attendance. The president
expressed the belief that the conven-
ton would be glad to hear Mr.. Bryan
toward the end of the afternoon ses-
sion, which invitation the latter grace
fully accepted.
The president also requested Cover
nor Johnson of Minnesota to preside
a tomorrow's meeting and he accept
ed. Both suggestions were greeted
with tremendous applause. Mr.. Car
negie then spoke.
Introductory to his remarks on the
conservation of ores and minerals
Mr.. Carnegie departed somewhat
from his written remarks when he
declared that most presidents follow
presidents, but that President Roose-
welt initiates them.
DR.. 1. c. White, professor of
geology of the University of West vir-
ginia, and geologist of that state, fol-
lowed Mr.. Carnegie.

A number of families are destitute,
not the smallest remnants of their
homes being left intact.
The homeless and destitute are be-
ing cared for in the churches and in
that portion Of the town, where the
tornado did not strike. Every home
in the town was thrown open to the
needy.
An official relief committee has
been formed and supplies have been
furnished.
The first warning of the storm
came when the people were attracted
by buzzing noise. Soon thereafter
out of the southwest appeared on
the horizon two clouds which zigzag-
ged across the sky and finally hit the
earth and swept across the town.

The New United States Flag and One
of the Modern "Betsy Rosses.'

where the United States army and
navy are stationed.
ScalpelS, such as surgeons use, have
been purchased, so that the young wo-
men may perform the most difficult
features of their task-that of ripping
off the stars on each flag in order to
rearrange them.
AS the flags used at present are ar
ranged the As stars are placed eight
on the top row, seven on the second,
eight on the third, seven on the fourth,
eight on the fifth, and seven on the
sixth row. For symmetry the new ar
rangements will be one row of eight
stars at the top, then row of seven,
two rows of eight, another row of sew
en-, and finally another of eight. This,
of course. makes it necessary to re-
move the bottom three rows of the
stars as they stand and then sew them
on again.
Machines will be used for this sew
ing, and as the young women are ex-
perts they will be able to carry it on
just as swiftly as they would the max
ing of a coat or a pair of trousers.

MoToRMAN ON HIS MUSCLE.
Jacob Maze WallOps Youngsters Who
Threw Water on Him.

Two of the crowd of young men and
boys who frequent the vicinity of Low
man Hill received a reception at the
hands of Motorman Jacob Maze, who
was in charge of a Washburn bound
street car last night which may deter
them from further pranks so far as the
street car company is concerned.
A gang congregated at the school
house last night and attached a line
of hose to a force pump in the yard
and drenched the motorman on the
car which preceded the one operated
by Maze. They attempted the same
tactics with this car. He brought it
to a standstill and rushed the gang
which was not expecting anything of
the kind. Two of the biggest boys in
the bunch were knocked down and
severely beaten. The rest took to their
heels but not until another one re-
ceived a severe shaking from the irate
motorman. After the fight was over
Maze picked up a hat and coat and
a fifty foot piece of hose which the
owners can have if they call and prove
ownership to the property. The man
agement of the street car company is
determined to break up this gang of
hoodlums and will offer reward for
their apprehension.

pleasure in presenting today, through
the Associated Press a splendid COM
prehensive and full report of today's
great convocation at Washington.

day are given in tonight's issue and
are by President Roosevelt, Andrew

RAILROADS ON RACK.
Representatives Before the State Tax
Commission.

This is railroad day. before the
Kansas State Tax commission. Tax
commissioners representing the va
rious railways of the state are being
given chance to tell their story, and
answer the questions which the tax
commissioners have to ask concern
ing the proper amount to assess the
various companies.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island will
not be heard today, because the tax
commissioners for these lines live in
Topeka and can be called upon at
any time. The Union Pacific had it's
hearing a few days ago. Other roads

NEW COOKING SCHOOL.
Topeka Women Contemplate Estab-
fishing of a Public Cooking School.

Several prominent Topeka ladies
are seriously contemplating the es-
Establishment of a free public cooking
school, for the purpose of educating
all classes of women in the art of
proper cooking.
Statistics gathered by those behind
the movement developes that more
deaths are caused by the improper
preparation of food than by any other
cause, and it is this interest in the
advancement of health, generally that
has prompted the idea.
Should the plans that are now un-
der way work out Topeka will have
a cooking school that the people will
be proud of, and it being a free in
stitution all class of women would
take advantage of it.
One of the principle reasons given
by the promoters for the establish
ment of such a school, is to instruct
women generally in the art of max

Philadelphia, May 13.-The honor Of
making the new United States flags
with their 46 stars each, has fallen to
the lot of Philadelphia women in the
United States quartermaster's depot at
Graves Ferry and Washington avenue,
popularity called the Schuylkill. During
the past month the efforts of these
many modern Betsy Roses have been
centered on the reconstruction of 5000
banners, on which the star represent
ing Oklahoma will have place. Cap
tain Hanny is especially proud of the
fact that his depot has been called
upon to supply all of the flags for the
army Miss Fay Spooner. who is fore
lady of the department. which will have
the making of these flags, says they
by the middle of May These flags
will never be unfurled until Independ-
ence day, July 4, but the construction
must be completed early in order to
allow ample time for shipping the
flags to distant parts of the world

Omaha Neb., May 13.-Reports which
came in slowly today from the tornado
stricken district south of this city, add
three victims to the list of dead and
place the monetary damage at half a
million dollars. The casualty lis
grows as communication is partially
restored with the five towns which suf-
fered most from the storm and the list
of injured, some of which are fatally
hurt will reach at least so. Two rail-
road laborers employed in sand pit
near Louisville, were found dead this
morning and Ed Miller, who was in
jured near Papilion, died of his injuries.
At least three other persons are be-
neved to have received injuries which
will prove fatal.
Five Italian railroad laborers were
slightly injured on the line of the Bur-
Hngton railroad between Council
Bluffs and Pacific Junction. Wires are
down and the story can not be con-
firmed.
Nearly every one of the five towns
in the path of the storm, Bellevue,
Papilion, Richfield, Meadows and LOUIS
Vile, were badly wrecked and the VII
lage of FIT. Crook and the post at tna at
poitn suffered heavy daamge. There are
battalions of the Sixteenth regiment
stationed at the fort and the men were
today put at work clearing up the
debris and putting the barracks IN
shape. Many of the large barracks
buildings were partially unroofed ana
a dozen or more large chimneys were
blown down and scattered over the tort
grounds. Nearly all the trees were
blown down. At Bellevue college,
classes resumed their work today using
such buildings as were not wholly

the large college buildings and part OF

have experienced washouts which
have made it necessary to send large
construction gangs to the scene today.
Wire communication between Omaha
and towns south and southeast was
almost entirely cut off, which made it
almost impossible to secure detailed
information from the stricken points.
While 500 soldiers were engaged in
clearing away the debris at Fort
Crock today the military band played
inspiring tunes.

Direct news reached Omaha this
afternoon by automobile from Louis

badly wrecked by tornado last night.

The tornado cut a clean, distinct
swath through the town taking every
single house on the east side of the

resulted, Wayne Hester "a boy, being

In almost every instance the value
of these various items was arrived at
from securing the figures Of the
original cost, together with the ex-
penditures made from time to time

cents.
Mr. Rogers makes the following
recommendations:
First, That uniformity in material
and design be adhered to for the con-
struction of sidewalks in the business
districts.
Second, That the public service cor
porations and the water department
be in future construction required to
lay all mains and conduits within
the parkings of streets and all connec-
lions made there to be done by bor-
ing where pavements are encountered,
once in place no excavations will be
allowed to mar it's surface.
Third, An extended use of concrete
curbing, and cutters on unpaved
streets thereby giving parks and side
walks permanent grade.
Fourth, That a sinking fund be
created for permanent bridge con-
struction to the end that durable and
artistic structures may in time sup
plant the present iron bridges that
are a constant source of care and ex-
pense.
The city engineer calls the attention
of the council to the need of lettering
