Mathews and several boys of about the
same age who were playing on the side
walk attempted to board the car of j. E.
Hollenbeck as 1t passed Twenty-sixth
street. Peterson's car was next to the
last in line.
Peterson at once stopped his car and
FASTENED with young Mathews to the Ed

animation showed that the boys injuries
consisted of a few bruises and cuts about
the head and shoulders. The boy, after
having his injuries dressed, was able to
be taken home.

Ceremonies Begin with Smashing
Camera of Newspaper
Photographer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-With an attack on
a newspaper photographer and the smash
ing OF his camera as a prelude, the First
Ward ball, the annual affair presided over
by Alderman John C%oughlin and Alder
man Michael Kenna, was held in the
Coliseum tonight, all efforts of church
people and law and order organizations 10
prevent 1t having proved unsuccessful.
A large guard of police surrounded the

because of the explosion of a dynamite
bomb in the vicinity last night. Photo
graphers were forbidden to attend the
ball and the efforts of one to violate this
rule resulted in the attack on him.

the sale of tickets amounted to almost
$5, 900. This, according to the regular
custom, will be used toward electing the
alderman Of the ward whose term expires
next spring.

Jones Originated Idea.

To j. Wilkes Jones, general manager Of
the National Corn exposition in Omaha,
belongs the credit of originating the idea
of the National Horticultural congress.
AS a result of Mr.. Jones suggestion the
National Horticultural congress was or
ganized in Council Bluffs at a meeting
held April IS, but 1t was not until we'll
along in the summer that active repara-
tions for the proposed fruit show, now a
pleasing reality, were begun.
With the decision TO hold the National
Horticultural congress in this city arose
the question of providing a suitable build
ing TO hold IL in. This question was
finally solved by the organization OF the
Auditorium company with a capital OF
ss5, 900 and the following officers: Pres
ident. Eugene stupfel; vice president, DIR.
II. B. Jennings; secretary, d. Z. Stuart;
treasurer, r. c. De Vol; other directors,
Henry A. Tiarks, w. c. Children and J..
e. Hollenbeck. The committee which had
direct charge Of the construction of the
building consisted of J. e. Hollenbeck.
P. C. De Vol and William Children.
The erection OF the Auditorium building
was a marvel of rapid construction.
Wiekham Bros who were given the con-
tract, started work on November 20 and
In thirty days the large structure was
practically completed.

Why Her Lamps Burn Well

my lamp?' replied a young housekeeper,
s$she busted herself about her work.
1T is trick of grandmother's, and one
my mother followed, and now 1. When
ever the bowl of the lamp is thoroughly
cleaned out, q tiny piece of gum camphor
is added. Grandma contended-and ex-
perience seems to bear out her state
ment-that with this the lamp would not
only burn more evenly, but the light would
be brighter. There may or may not be
any real truth in it, but it is little
habit 1 have, and l suppose it is one l
will continue to follow, till the end of
time-at least as long as I have lamps to
fill,' she concluded as she screwed down
a lamp top.
