The defense In tho Injunction proceedings
Instituted by II. J Stecn, the Douglas street
restnuranteur. against tho Walters' union
and t'red IlHttmnn Is Indicated by several
aindnvlts filed with tho rltrk of tho district
court jistcrdny. Steeti, It will be remem
bered, seeks to permanently enjoin th
union nnd tlauman from distributing cards
stating that, his restaurant has been pro
nounced unfair by organized labor.
One of tho affidavits tiled yesterday Is
mado by tlauman, who states that he Is
well acquainted with the persons composing
tho Waiters' union, that It Is not a corpora
tion, has no legal existence and Is, in fact,
merely nn organization of individuals for
soolal Inter, outsc and self-protection. Hau-
man further avers that tho Walters' union
never ordered anybody to distribute tho
cards declaring the Steeti restaurant un
fair.
Another affidavit Is signed hy W. Scott,
Chnrltfl I.con and Joseph Hawk, who have
been distributing the cards near Sleen's
place of business. They swear that they
were not ordered or authorized to do tho
work by any person or association, but
acted on their own responsibility and nu-
thotlty.
It. I). Dubois files an nffldavlt In which he
declares that ho Is not a member of tho
union, but distributed the cards against
Hteen for several days on his own notion
and without any authority from tho or
ganization.
Thou, seemingly to clinch the mntter, the
attorneys for tho union put In an allldavlt
lit which It objects to the Jurisdiction of
tho court on the ground that the Walters'
union was not organized to carry on any
business or trndo or to hold any species
"f prnterty. They contend thnt tho union
has no legal existence nnd cannot bo made
a party In an action at law.
Ilaumnn Individually seeks to get out or-
tho case by making nffldavlt that the peti
tion of tho plaintiff was sworn to before
Harry K. O'.S'clll, who is .also one of tho
plaintiff's attorneys. H Is claimed that tho
petition was not legally verllled, because
O'Neill could not act as both attorney nnd
notary public in tho same case.
Tho hearing comes up before Judge Key-
sor nt 10 o'clock this morning on motion
of tho plaintiff for n permanent Injunction.

such good stead for so long. As presented
by Prank Kcennn nnd a cnpable supporting

Hint his coat wns strange lessened the wel

Is symbolic of tho star, for this reason Is
Mr. Ketnan's first as Noah Vale, the Beedy

Mr. Kcennn Is peculiar! adapted for the
task' ho has undertaken that of following
u comedian so beloved as Is Sol Smith ltus-
sell. He possesses many of tho ninnnerlsms
nnd characteristics of his predecessor In the
part and has n voice almost Identical with
I hat of Mr. UufscII. Pest of nil. he has
tho power of enacting a comedy role,
wherein the humor all the way through has
a touch of pathos and ho makes the best
out of tho part. Mr. Keetian's reception
was a most cordial one. At the close of tlie
second net, when Noah Vale denounced the
false accusations brought against tho
charming young girl who had befriended
him, tho npplnuse wns more than enthusias

Hev. ('. S. Sargent, pastor of the St.
Mary's Avenue church, delivered nn ad
dress beforo tho Young Woman's Chris
tian nssoclntlou yesterday and his themo
was Queen Victoria. Ho drew from her
life thoso lessons which would apply to tho
seventy-llvo girls listening to him. Tho
meeting was remarkable for the attention
It onllsted. Mnny of the young women
left their lunches In the dining room and
went In to hear the address.
One of tho most striking features in the
address wns the contrast of tho life of
Queen Victoria with that of Murlo An
toinette. The latter understood royalty ns
being something which could bo used for
her own selilsh ends. Queen Victoria gavo
it a new meaning, for she used It for tho
good of tho world and of humanity.
Tho- greatest thing in tho life of tho
(liieen wns her character. She was given
education, culture and wealth, but sho had
to work out for herself the problem of
character. Sho hml trials ns great as
thoso which confront any of the girls who
havo to worJ for their living, but tho
character which she developed should be
an lusrlratlnn to all. The Idea that
heredity ran mar n life wus thrown nsldo
when tho speaker considered tho ancestors
which tho (uecu had ami then spoke of tho
beautiful, helpful life that sho had lived.
Several appropriate songs wero sung In
connection with tho meeting nnd nt tho
close of tho address Mrs. A. P. Kly and
Mrs. I). L. lingers sang "Oh, Morning

Omaln It tho only city In the United
States which use electrical Moats In Its
street parades, nnd It remained for an
Omaha man. City Electrician K. P. Schurlg.
to securo patents covering tho system of
wiring floats successfully and connecting
them with the tails. For several years
thoso patents have been pending, and Mr.
Schurlg was not Hied yesterday thnt his
claims have been allowed.
Mr. Schurlg's first nctlon wns to extend to
tho Knights of AU-Sar-Ilen tho free uso of
his patents. Within the last two years n
number of Amerlcnn cities have been de
sirous of Introducing electricity Into their
street pageants, but have been prevented
from doing, so on nrcoitnt of tho pntents
for which .Mr. SchurJg had applied. Buffalo
and Clevclnnd c.:u two titles which wero
planning to have electrical parades, but
wero notified by Mr. Schurlg that ho would
prosecute any Infringement of his rights.
Cniitii'.MIoit of l.ninp.
The most Important part of Mr. Schurlg's
clcctrlral float Is the method of connecting
lamps In such a way that they do not In
fluence each other Mr Schurlg uecs what
Is called u multiple guiles. In ease ono lamp
burns out on u float it does not In any way
ufl'ect tho remaining lamps.
Under the ordinary system of wiring many
lamps would he cut out In ense anything
were to go wrong with any lamp on the
sumo connection. It 'was only nfter over
coming many dlfflcultlcs thnt Mr. Schurlg
worked out this system of wiring.
Omaha's electrical parades have always
been the envy of other cities. The Idea of
utilizing electricity for Illuminating nnd
propelling Hants wns llrst advanced by Mr.
Schurlg nnd he has spent several years In
perfecting his Invention. Irom year to
year ho has mado Improvements nnd tho
Ak-Sar-llcn electrical parade of last yeur
surpassed In grandeur nil former parades.
Onillllll lJ.xc-el 'tile n. All.
When the plan of giving parades wns llrst
suggested Omnhans hoped to have festivals
which would In a measure npprouch the
Mardl (Iras pageants. Hut Nebraska was
not content with equalling tho parades
given In New Orleans nnd St. Louis. It has
gone all carnival cities ono better nnd now
has tho finest parades given unywherc In
the world.
The pageants which nro Illuminated with
red II ro and torches do not approach In
grandeur the gorgeous spectacles which the
Knights of Ak-Snr-Hen hnvo created and
mado brilliant with myriad electric lights.
Hy tho use of globes of all colors many
beautiful effects can bo attained which are
Impossible when Dickering lamps and the

Ono of the numerous Instances In which
the authorities of the villages and towns
of Nebraska and surrounding stntes seek
to unload public charges upon tho city of
Omaha, Instead of making arrangements for
their enre, came to light Friday evening,
when Prank Shaw npplled at tho police
station for a night's lodging for himself,
his wife ami their flvo children. Shaw
said thoy had been sent hero from Atlantic,
la., Thursday night, and ho told a story
of uncommon hard luck.
Last year Shnw and his family wero in
tho mining camps of Alaska and, running
short of funds, decided to return to this
country. They reached linker City, Ore.,
whero all tho family, with tho exception
of tho newborn babe, were taken down
with smallpox. After recovery tho family
went to Atlantic. la., where Rlinw wns ap
pointed superintendent of tho penthouse.
Ho held this position porno time, until he
became 111 himself with a stomach dis
ease. Then the city authorities had him
tnUen from tho pesthouse nnd fumigated
nnd gave him orders to take his family
nnd lenvo tho city ut once. Transportation
was provided to Omaha, nnd when this
city wns reached Shaw had Just 2.1 cents
In his pocket.
Tho family stnyed around tho depot for
the remainder of tho night nnd all of Fri
day, whllo Shaw hunted up a couple of old-
tlmo friends. Both of them wero In rather
poor circumstances and could not help
him, nnd as a last resort ho applied at tho

Now Is the time to buv rbeap iliug-?, ns
tho nine or ten druggists in the city have
ommcticcd cutting rates and patent mcdl-
Ines are now selling at prices way below
tho supposed cost.
It Is reported that soon nfter one Seykora
opened a drug store at Twenty-fourth and
streets ho started tho department store
plan and cut prices. This was no sooner
found out by the regular druggists than
rutting commenced all around. Then there
as war. Friday signs appeared In nearly
nil drug store windows announcing rut
rate prices and while the rut went nn cer
tnln articles (he prices wns presumably
boosted on others In order to make both
ends meet, so that the proprietors could
look the bank teller In tho faco when tho
usual deposits were made.
An effort was made to have a meeting
of the druggists nnd for threo long hours
thoso who answered tho call talked over
matters and tried to reach an agreement.
Ml but ono druggist was agreeable to it
omproinlse. This ono lone sheep wanted
to hold out twelve preparations on which
ho might rut rates nnd tho others would
not consent.
Tho result Is, that while there Is pre
sumably a Hag of trtico Hying tho druggists
nre not sticking to the half-hearted agree
ment, which wn3 supposed to meet with tho
pprovnl of the chemists attending tho
meeting.
Last night n druggist informed Tho Hce
oilier thnt tho fight was still on nnd that
while the cut wns supposed to bo mndo on
only n dozen articles n reduction was being
made on nil things sold and this condition
of affairs would, he said, continue until an

Indians. The olllcer further says that news
paper reports havo been greatly exagger
ated. Olllcom Are IIiiI.Iohn.
"Army oll'.cers have to u great extent lost
confidence in the reports sent out by cor
respondents of tho press from the scene
of Indian doubles. Whllh many of the
men are holiest, they hnvo a desire to sell
news nnd for thnt reason some of the wild
est rumors llnd their way Into the columns
of nowspapers which have, generally, n rep
utntlon for truth. The correspondents are
not to blunie at nil times, cither, for the
excited people often tell ns truth stories
without foundation. Men wjio have en
gaged In Indian campaign will not accept
ns truo anything not confirmed by the re
port of men of experience. I remember
my first campaign against the Indians. It
was In Idaho nnd wo had been ordered out
to suppress tho Hannocks, who. It was re
ported, wero killing settlers In the
Snako river valley. When wo arrived nt
tho scene of the reported murders we found
thnt the people hail seen no Indians for n
month, except n party which had pitched a
summer camp In the neighborhood nnd were
too busy catching Ush tt go on tho war
path. The settlers had read the stories In
tho newspnpers, and, whllo recognizing the
Imaginative powers of tho local correspond
ents, they nccepted as true the reports from
other sections end wero consldenbly ex
cited. Itcii.ly for Hut lie.
"When tho cavalry approached they
thought It was the Indians and were drawn
up In battle array when wo arrived. The
Indians who wero fishing hud heard nt our
coming' nnd. getting frightened, hnd re
turned to their reservation. Our troop
mado a march of 400 miles that trip nnd
never saw an Indian.
"Tho fear of tho residents that ono troop
of cavalry cannot keep the Creeks In check
Is, I think, unwarranted. In the old days
In the southwest It was no uncommon thing
to cend ten or fifteen men with nn ofllccr
to control a band of 100 or moro Indians
who ,eio ugly on account of getting nn
overdose of firewater. 1 have gone on sev
eral such expeditions and never had nny
serious trouble, although once in n whllo
tho case looked serious. I don't think that
any other troops will bo needed In the
Creek country, but we nre prepared to send
nil that Is needed."
Fort Silt Is nearer tho scene of tho Creek
troublo than Fort Hctin. but tho troops wero
sent from the latter post for tho reason
that tho one troop nt Fort Sill Is watching
Oeronlmo and somo of his Apaches, who,
the ollleers feci, cannot bo left unwatched
even ut this Into day.

i'or Want of a Nail The
Shoe Was Lost.
FOR WANT (IF A SHOD TUB
HOIlSi; WAS I.AMF.I).
liven blacksmith knows that story of
the neglected nail, the cast shoe nnd the
ruined hotse. In old country smithy's
you may see the legend rudely painted
or chalked on the wall as a 'reminder
to customers that it pays to enre for
horses' shoe.?, and that n little neglect
tit.iy have a very serious result. Hut the
blacksmith is, as a ntle, like the good
deacon, who passes on the pastor's de
nunciation of his own foibles to sonic
one clc. It never occuts to him to take
the sermon home to himself. The black
smith has for cxami-le a little touch of
"stomach trouble." His food seems to
lie like a lump in his stomach. It fer
ments and gives off gases which cause
him discomfort nnd uneasiness. Uc has
sour and bitter risings, or "water brash.''
Hut this man who knows nnd preaches
the danger of neglect in the loss of a
nail from a horse's shoe goes right along
neglecting symptoms which ui scores
and hundreds of cases nic fore-runners
of n physical break -down.

That's the doctrine of n great many
indolent people. They say "it will go
away after a hit " when' cautioned to "do
something" for their ailment. Just
imagine a fanner looking over the fence
at the sprouting weeds in his corn and
saying "they'll go away nfter a bit,"
Diseases are like weeds. All they nsk
is neglect and they will grow and "Nour
ish. Neglect the 'first symptoms of dis
ease of the stomach and it will not be
long before other organs are involved,
because every organ of the body is de
pendent on "the stomach nnd its allied
oigans for nutrition. When tht stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri
tion nre diseased the food eaten is
not perfectly digested and assimilated.
Hence there is a loss of nutrition by the
body; a loss which shows itself in loss of
flesh, and reduced weight, and that loss
of nutrition is shared by every organ of
the body, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys,
etc. As a consequence when the stom
ach is diseased, the heart is liable to be
involved, or the lungs, kidneys or liver.
These facts emphasize the danger of
neglect of what is popularly termed
"stomuch trouble."

Medical Discovery will generally result ill

It's a waste of tittle and money to
experiment on medicines. If you are on
a journev to a certain town, you take
the road that will surely bring you
there. You don't turn aside and experi
ment on roads simply because they ure
roads. The road you' follow is the road
which leads to where you want to be.
It's th.it way with medicines. When
you want the way which leads straight
est and surest to health
you will follow the thou
sands who have taken Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery nnd have been
perfectly nnd permanently
cured.
" It gives tne great pleas
ure to inform you of the
benefits that I have real
ised from the use of your
' Golden Medical Discov
ery ' and ' Ptrssant Pel
lets ' " writes Mrs. J. C.
Pink, of Yost, Kowati Co.,
N. C. "Last winter 1 was
so bad off that I thought
it impossible for me to live
until spring. I was taken
sick in January nnd wns in
pain nil over. The doctor
was called, atul said my
liver was out of order.
He gave me some medicine
but it did me no good.
I grew steadily worse. I
could not eat us much as
one bite of bread without
great pnitt, and was so
hungry all the time that I
thought I would starve to
death. My held ached,
my shoulders nehed, I
was cross. My brain failed
so much that 1 thought
I was almost insane. I
could not sleep nights only a short while
nt n time. Would get up mornings so
wenk and nervous, I could scarcely stand,
In this way I suffered, I think, about two
months, when a friend of mine induced
me to write to Dr. Pierce for advice,
which I tlid. His answer was that I had
indigestion and liver complaint, and ad
vising me to take his ' Golden Medical
Discover'.' I followed the Doctor's
directions closelv, and in a few days I
could discover that I was getting better
slowly. livery day I felt just a little
better, then I "could begin to cat n little
light diet. Then I began to sleep a
little better nt night nnd in the morning
would feel refreshed and rested. Next
I began to gather a little flesh, mid then
I began to improve mpidlw I took
eight bottle3of 'Golden Mcdicul Discov
ery 1 and several vinls of ' Plea-wit Pel
lets,' and I felt that 1 was well enough
to leave off medicine und go to work,
which I did with pleasure. I have not
taken any medicine since except Dr.
Pictce's Pellets. I can cat anything nnd
as much as I want und it never now
hurts me a particle."
