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. 1 AMUSEMENTS.

In this iistnnco the coat Is symbolic of tho star, for this reason Is Mr. Ketnan's first as Noah Vale, the Beedy genius and Inventor.

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 tic. It was so hearty that Mr. Weenan re sponded with a luting curtain speech.

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 Land."

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 burning of chemicals mu3t be relied on for Illumination.

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 station for shelter. Tho family was quar tered In tho matron's department for the night.

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.

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.

"Oillcers of the nrmy connected with head quarters of the Department of the Mis souri llnd nothing exciting In the present Indian outbreak In tho Indian Territory nnd recelvo with doubt the reports of the largo number of nborlglnes who are Joining Crazy Snake In his armed protest ngainst tho authority of tho United Stntes," said Major Mlchlo yesterday. "I have eiery reason to bcllcvo that tho excitement over the Indian outrages In the territory Is greater nwny from the scene of tho alleged uprising thnu at the point to which tho ttoopa have been ordered. In this view I mil eonllrmod by a report re ceived this nfternoon from Lieutenant Mixon, who, with his troop of the Hlghth cavalry, arrived ut Henrietta, Tex., Thurs day night at 10 o'clock. The lieutenant re ports that he has not yet seen uny of the civil nuthorities, hut has been Informed by the citizen thnt none of them have been subjected to violence nt the hands of the 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.

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."

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."
