eral Methodist conference at Baltimore.
After he conference Mr.. DeLamatre Wis
tied in Washington, New York Philadel-
phia and Ohio where he stayed about ten
days "Out of the 7S7 delegates there were
less than 200 who had attended a previous
convention.
Mr. DeLamatre said that he met Bishop
and Mrs. Nelson and was very favorably
impressed with the new bishop as he was
very approachable and genial. His friends
say we we will like him."
II was also impressed with the power
of DR.. James NJ Buckley. editor OF the
Christian Advocate, who has been lead

such cites as Detroit, Cleveland, Column

tive and Dr.. Jessie w. Jennings, Dr. Will
lam Gorst and DR.. George H. Main did
good wor kin the conference B. H. Paine

Jail Birds Too slow and Tom Flynn
Has Free American Citizens
at Work.

IT wish you would tell the good people Of
Omaha that the men l have cutting weeds
out in the residence districts are not pris-
oners, but are free law-abiding citizens, as
good, II not better than some Of the prop
erty owners who do not cut their own
weeds" says Thomas J. Flynn, street com
missioner.
The commissioner was instructed by the
mayor to put the prisoners at work cut
ting weeds Flynn tried 1t one day. but
without success. He says that the prison

prisoners must be back at the station by
IL o'clock in the morning and o'clock in
the afternoon If they get anything to eat,
and so he can not take them far from the
station, He still has a few prisoners at
work but they are all working on down
town streets.
Some day some Of my men are going 10
take a smash at some passerby and l
can't blame them II they do" said Flynn.

and they come along and seeing the men
cutting weeds. say: We'll. now that Is too
bad to see that poor old man under arrest,

Good enough for you. Prisoners should
be made TO work on the streets. Get to IL,
you gol darned Jail bird
If you don't want my weed cutters 10

please tell the people that the men in the

two meet ngs yearly, the constitution pro-
viding for their being held in Kansas City
and Omaha.
! In the closing session Of the convention
! Dr. S. f. Schoenleber Of Manhattan, Kan,
talked TO the delegates on the increased
demand for municipal meat and datry in-
spection in Kansas and urged hat Inc
members of the association stir up sentl-
ment for municipal inspection In lhtir

jority of cases consumption can be traced
to the milk supply and declared hat II

tagious diseases would be reduced 10 a

| At the afternoon session several other
papers on questions of interest only to
members of the profession were red and
the convention closed with a general dis
cussion of live subjects of prime interest
to the veterinary surgeons.
DR.. J. f. Tippett, connected with
Swarzschild & Sulzberger company, meat
packers, commenced the action of the fed
cral government in inspecting meats and
said that consumers, as we'll as the pack
ers, should consider the inspection a move
in the right direction.

packer is thankful to the government, and
the people should be thankful to the pack
ers, who have left nothing undone to as
sure healthful meat for the worlds con-
sumption" said DR. Tippett
One of the interesting papers read before
the association was that by DR.. b. Rogers
of Manhattan, Kan, on tuberculosis
The doctor advocated the tagging of hogs
as the best means of ascertaining whether
or not tuberculosis germs exist on a farm,
for the hogs receive germs more freely
than than any other animal. When the
hog is sent to market and is killed tuber-
culosis germs can be easily discovered Il
they exist and then by means of the tag
the infectious farm can be placed and
measures taken to eradicate the disease
The paper stated:
| 1t is an actual and indisputable fact that
II every tuberculous germ that has been
given off, or will be given off by the
the present time could be secured and ef-
| fectually destroyed or merely be prevented
from entering a living body. the last death
that would or could possibly occur from
tuberculosis would be in a person or ami.
NAL living in the present generation,

Leap Year

is now in full blast and it's going to
 continue until the last minute of De-
 cember 3l. Leap year means a
 whole lot to large number of peo-
 pie. For instance there are quite a
 few politicians, yes and a whole lot of would-be politicians, who are com pelled to take a Heap" out of sort of a trance. In other words they were dead sure of securing certain
 jobs, positions on public boards, etc,
 but there were not enough places, so the ones who were surest must take the leap" Of course the head boss" don't tell them where to Heap" to simply because he dOesn t tell his mind to anybody. But as far as get ting anything out of the premises is concerned they might as well Hleap" to Union City and sell matches because they're done up for two years and when election day comes again, they'll get the same toboggan slide or else take another leap" Be that as it may, let us hope that people who have never purchased any tea or cof
 fee from us will take advantage this year and take leap out of that unconscionable idea that they can get just as good tea or coffee in any store as they can buy at our store. No sir-ree, your mistaken, we sell the best quality in the city for the price you pay and all We ask is one trial This week we give a large, handsome cracker jar with each pound of our warranted good baking powder, 45 cents per pound at PHELANS T STORE 1 Insr Tala
