'I t 1 WW lit SHORT STORIES OF THE DAK Observations In Ireland by P, M. Mullen, an Omaba Oitlzn, The Republican City Platform.

"Conditions In Ireland arc somewhat hAl. tor than they were when I left tliero thirty years ago," said R M. Mullen of North Twentieth street, who has Just returned from a visit to hlH old homo In tho Kmorald Isle, "but they still lack n Kreat deal of wtim they should he. Tho population Is thinner because of emigration nnd the towns havo enanged almost as much as our western towns. Tho landlord Bystem Is responsible for It all. I,and rents from Jo to J8 per acre per year, and with tho Importation of Amer ican farm products at u prlco so low that tne irisn farmers cannot comncte. tho condi tion of tho tenants Is steadily growing worfo. In tho grocery stores there you can buy American canned goods for u little less than the samo goods can bo purchased here. Ury salt pork which wo sell In Omaha for 10 cents n pound sells In Ireland at I three pounds for a shilling. American canned beef sells for less than tho beef can bo raised for In that country, and us a ro- suit the large stockmen have failed and arc falling today faster than ever known In tho country before. "In the land question thero has been somo Improvement, nnd It would seem to mo that Knglaud would extend the system in tho light of tho good results. They havo a law lucre now whereby the government ad vances to the tenant enough money to pur chase a certain amount of land, nnd the inonoy is repaid In annual payments equal to about fifteen years' rental fee. Many men who wero rubels of note havo becomo loyal supporters of tho crown because they havo purchased their homes under tho land net nnd am now tho owners of their homes, which they havo Improved. In (lalway, on tho Hhanunu side. I saw a largo number of peoplo living In huts on tho roadside, thb evicted tenants of Lord Clanrlrard nnd oth ers. Their laud lies idlo and no olio can taku It. What Ireland wnnts now Is a law to com pel the landlords to sell ut a fair valuation. This would break up tho largo holdings, mako tho Island produce mora wealth and banish the discontent In tho minds of the peoplo. Their discontent Is now taking tho form of expressions of sympathy with the Doers, nnd it Is hard to find an Irishman who Is loyal to Kngland outside the ollke- holders. "1 was deeply Impressed with tho fact that American manufactures havo practically driven tho Hritlsh goods out of the mar ket. At my brother's farm all tho tools nrn of American make, nnd when 1 remarked upon tho clrrutnstanro ho told mo thnt there were practically no English goods sold. Tho "American goods provo to bo of belter quality and are sold ut a lower price." There was a nervous, turttvo gleam In the orn of tho tall, dark stranger with tho gcn'.co and bnud-hrimmed felt hat as lie entered tho telegraph olllco nnd seized n pad of blanks. Ho was evidently laboring under a mental strain. Tho first three attempts to wrlto a message wero abortive and ho crumpled tho paper and hurled it to tho floor with u gesturo that wns almost vicious. Then ho bit tho end of his lend pencil and took a turn up and down tho lobby. Finally ho settled down to wrlto. Tho fourth trial was productive of better re suits, anil ho passed tho sheet to tho clerk "How miuch?" ho asked, thrusting his hand in lib pocket. Tho clerk counted tho words. "Seventy-live cents." A silver dollar clanged on tho counter, Tho clerk read tho message. "Here, this will never do!'" ho said. "We can't send such language as this over tho wires." Tho tall stranger cleared his throat with a vigor thnt threatened to disrupt his larynx. "Whnt'a t'ho matter with that languigo?" Thn clerk run his pencil through the objee tlouable wordH and passed thu sheet back. As expurgated, tho message read thus: " luck to tho eternal - and nation everlasting If over I to est anyway! ISAAC RKOAN." "Wo're not permitted to accept messages containing profanity. Can't you express yourself In somo other way?" Kxpress mys Say, my friend 1 brought my son, Tommlo, hero a week ago to bo treated for soro eyes, and now ho'a come down with whooping cough. My wlfo writes that our daughter has eloped with tho hired man; my trunk Is knocking around somowhero between hero and the Atlantic seaboard, and I've lost my railroad ticket. Kxpress myself In some other way? Well, I ehould say I could! If you could havo heard uio an hour ngo you'd havo thought that message n translation from a l,atln pater noster! "You scorn to havo been unfortunato, It's true, but wo can't send tho messngo as It reads uow." "Well, how would you word It, then?' "Why. I'd say: 'Truug mlsscnt. Tommlo sick, whooping cough.

Most auythintr is good to eat if a man is properly, healthily hungry, livcrv man is tironerlv hungry nt more or less ma unci intervals if he is healthy.

Skcond We endorse the administration of Frank E. Moores during his term of office as mayor of tho city of Omaha, and wo point with justiliablo pride to tho fact that even his political opponents and personal enemies concede that ho has been one of the most faithful and ellicient mayors Omaha has ever had. We especially commend him for a second term to all voters, regardless of party, who favor a policy of progression rather than obstruction, and who believe in tho advancement and upbuilding of Omaha. Tiiiki) We favor tho municipal ownership of public utilities, and ad vocate the acquisition and operation" of its water works system by tho city of Omaha at tho earliest time practicable. "Wo also favor tho city owning and operating its own electric lighting plant, at tho earliest timo practicable if possible before the expiration of the existing contract between the city and electric light comp any. Wo commend the positive stand taken by Mayor Moores in his messages from time to time, with reference to the wa ter works and electric lighting plants, and in view of these utterances, ap proved by the people regardless of party, wo deny to tho Democratic party the exclusive right of championing municipal ownership of tho water works, which it has assumed to do by incorporating in its platform, ex tracts from Mayor Moores' messages. And we also emphatically deny to tho Democratic nominee for mayor tho exclusive monopoly ho assumes to him self of advocating the acquisition by tho city of tho wator works plant. In support of these declarations, and in behalf of tho honest, faithful and ellicient administration of city affairs, wo pledge tho nominees of this convention, and urge all Republicans and all those who favor an honest, ellicient and progressive management of municipal business to support tho Republican nominees. sr !$ s - 5 &??$$ 4!$'S3i5. ?'

That day finally came and since then I havo pursued my work without lnterrup- placo for nearly half a century and has al ways been prudent enough to lvo within his means. Ho is an exemplification of the Tho oldest telegraph lineman In tho United Uon. J old proverb: A rolling stone gatders no States lives in Omaha.

During tho recent col.l wave the water plpfs In his houne burst anil ho "called up" a plumber, telling him of tho accident nnd thu number of his house. When he returned homo for lunch tho water had Hooded tho lower lloor nnd the cook was working in tilx Inches of water. When he got back to tho office, and before he could notify the plumber that his Job was a rusn order, that worthy came In with a bill of $15 for repairing pipes. Tho householder pro tested that the pipes had novcr been repaired nnd tho plumber was ns positive thnt they had. Nothing but a vlnit to tho house would convlnco either, and when they nrrlved at tho eccne of tho Hood tho plumber showed whoro n perfect Job of plumbing had been dono on tho pipes of Uio householder's near est neighbor. Tho householder refuses to pay tho bill nnd the plumber claims that tho repairs were mado at tho number given over tho telephone. Captain John Webb, of tho United Stntes "Hero are somo of tho questions wo havo to answer," remarked Collector Houtz, read ing from n much-folded letter " 'I am n male carrier on a routo from thla town, und when tho neighbors ak mo I carry packages to and from tho town for them, llko xacks of coal, sacks ot Hour and such things. I got from 10 to 2.") cents a arrant, and I want to know if I got to put n tamp on tho pack ages.' As tho carrier of tho 'males' forgot to wrlto his address on tho letter of inquiry ho cannot bo answered and will remain In doubt us to the necessity ot stamping the packages."

Ho wns flrst employed by the old Atlantic & I'aciHo Telegraph company away back lu tho days when telegraphy was In Its Infancy. When tho Western Union sprang Into exlstcnco and the Atlantic & Pacific passed into history Mr. Gardner con tinued at his work. Notwithstanding his long association with telegraphic environ ments ho never learned to bo an operator. Graduating from messenger service ho be enmo nn expert lineman and still holds the championship. At tho age of 61 years Georgo Gardner Is able to climb a polo with as much agility us many a younger man and he declares ho ex pects to bo a lineman as long as he lives. Thero Is nothing about tho repair of telo graph wires that this veteran doesn't under stand. Ho says he never cared to bo an operator.

"I landed in Omaha thirty-seven years ago," ho continued, "and l expect to end my days hero. I havo grown old In tho sorvlco of tho Western Union and I llko the work. I also llko Omaha.

Rockport, Mo., Jan. 27, 1899. Two years ago I spent about half, the winter in bed, The first of last February I heard of Wine of Cardui and commenced to take it. In one month I felt better, and Easter morning a fine baby boy arrived in our home. I have been well since. I can't praise the medicine too highly. I think every expectant mother should use it. I will be glad to answer any ladv who should write me to know what the medicine has done. Mrs. TOM MURRAY. Wine of Cardui is the best rnetlicine to bring healthy children to barren homes. It britifis children by making the mother healthy and able to beat children. Many homes are cheerless because baby's prattling voice is not there. Many u woman on account of childlessness stes little use for herself in the world. She should not despair. Wine of Cardui has made many like her happy. The cnuse of the majority of barren homes is falling of the womb nnd other similar ills. The delicate organs are displaced mid child benriug is impossible. Wine of Cardui relieves this trouble. It strengthens the weakened ligaments which should huld the organs in place. Iu a short time the racking pains nre banished. Irritation is relieved and the patient soon feels like a different woman. Finally bhe is a mother. Then she praises Wine of Cardui for giving her the bliss of happy motherhood in place of pain and misery. No despondent woman should give tip hope until she lias I'ivetl Wine of Cnrdni n trial.
