Byrne Is Awarded M. E. Smith After Bidding $1,830,000 Competitor Takes Over As sets of Once Great Dry Goods House; Fight Is Spirited. (Continued From Fare One.) me that I may bid another $25,000 for the asset*. I therefore bid $1,825,000." It was Just $110,000 more than an original bid submitted sev eral days ago, but It did not suffice. Hall rose and again enacted the little drama In which he had played a leading role throughout the day. "I bid $1,830,000." It was enough. "I will go no higher.” Mr. Crofoot said, simply, and stepped from beside the table to a place among the spec tators. It was the cue for A. A. Memhard, attorney for New York creditors. An hour before he had been closeted with Crofoot. Hall Speaks Again, Now he pleaded with the court to accept the Crofoot bid. The creditors believed they would rereive more money under the hid. It was best for Omaha that the bid be accepted, and the creditors were eager that the business be continued. Again Hall arose, and again what be said drove an actor to the audi ence. These were his lines, a bit longer than before. "The cat's out of the hag now. The question of the continuance of this business Is not a matter before this court. The court cannot look Into that. The court is bound to accept the best bid." , A brief pica from Sanford Otis, at torney for the noteholders, favoring the Crofoot bid; a word or two from Heferee Dunham, awarding the assets In Hall's clients, and the curtain wa. rung down. Byrne's Statement. Later, T. C. Byrne stepped from (he prompter's post ot say the following: "On account of the failure of M. Ik Smith & Co. and the Burgess-Nr.sh company, and the long delay In find ing a solution of their problems, the general business of this section of the vb st has been seriously damaged and credit of merchants generally, both wholesale and retail, In all branehss of business, has been seriously hurt. • "We are convinced it has been best for us to acquire the assets of M. E. Smith & Co., and so far as we know Inhale the Vapors For Catarrh and Colds To relieve catarrh or check a head cold, melt a little Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors of Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thyme and Turpentine. Also put a little In each nostril and snuff well back up the head. Another way la to heat a tin cup. put in a teaspoonful of Vicks and Inhale the vapors that way. As fast as the vapors lose their strength, throw out the melted Vicks and add fresh. Millions of mothers find Vicks the Ideal remedy for croup and chil dren's colds because It not only brings quick relief, but avoids dos ing delicate little stomachs with so much medicine.

ENDS THREeTYEARS STOMACH TROUBLES “It Sure Put Me Back on My Feet Feeling Fine in No Time,” Says Martin Hendrix. Still another well known Omaha man comes forward and voluntarily tella of the remarkable results he has secured from Knrnak, the new medl fine that Is creating such n sensation In Omaha and Council Bluffs since being put on sale here at the Slier man & McConnell Drug company. This time It. Is Martin Hendrix, re siding at 603 North IRth street, who declares his stomach troubles of three vears* standing have completely dls appeared since ho began taking Knr nak. "I’ll prills* ibis medicine «S long its I live," says Mr. Hendrix “I# h done the work for me when every thing else I look failed to bring me any relief and so you can realise how grateful 1 feel. "For three long years 1 suffered terribly from stomach troubles, Indl gestIon, gas bloating snd weak spells. My appetite was gone and I felt nans sated and sick at my stomach most of the time At night my sleep was restless and broken, and in ths morn* „ tng I got up feeling weak, worn out and all down In the mouth, to start the day off. "Well, sir, thfa Karnak aura put me hark on my feet feeling fine In no time. It'S the most wonderful thing I ever saw. I have the best kind of appetite now and the stomnch troubles, gas nnd biliousness nre nil things of the past. I sleep like a top all night and get up In the morning feeling fresh nnd fit nnd rend'* for a good day's work. “After nil Knrnnk has done for me T couldn’t do otherwise than tell others about It. As 1 said before 1 you can count on me to say a good word for a medicine that will fix any bodv up like KAt nak did me " Karnak produced the results In Mr. Hendrix’ case because It goes right down to the root of the trouble such ns he suffered from and corrects It at the Source. It Is hardly possible for any portion of the body not to he benefited by Karnak, bemuse the nine vegetable ingredients are so seientlH rally blended that each helps the oth er to art on certain Vital organs thereby toning nnd strengthening the entire digestive system, purifying thf blood nnd toning up the muscles and fiervoun system.
