approve of these advanced ideas? W' ay most einpnaueaiij,
YES! For Omaha people are a progressive people.
It means the shortening of hours of labor. It means pro
gressive business methods. It means a saving to the employees
of four hours a week, two hundred and eight hours during the
year, or more than twenty-three days or rest and reereation, in
stead of as many days of unnecessary labor. It means that the
volume of business transacted by us during this lime exceeds
that of any year in the history "f our business. It means merit
that has been achieved by honest, business methods and due con
sideration for our employees.
We wish to thank the people for the hearty support they
have given us during the past years.
No successful business like ours is reared by accident.
We shall continue to close our store Saturday nights at G

Initials of the Grand Rapids city attorney,
with n view of keeping tbo facts In thti

In the menntlme Mr. Salisbury heard of
tho action of liarton arfd In tho press dis

Pale, weak, puny children are afflicted
with it In nine cases out of ten.
And yet it may develop so slowly as to

It may then produce dyspepsia, catarrh,

Common Indications of it are bunches,

MURDER LOSES ITS MYSTERY

CHICAaO, Feb. 23. Convincing state
ments mado today to the pollco concerning
tho murder of Salvadore dl Giovanni divests
that affair of nil tho mysterious garnish
ments Into which romantic stories of ven
dettas had been woven.
The mystery was dissipated with tho as
sistance of "Steve" Malato, a politician and
leader among tho Italians. All the theories
adopted by tho police during tho last few
days fell flat and the sensational case sim
mered down to an ordinary tnloon brawl re
sulting In tho death of Dl Giovanni. Thcro
Is no Malla plot, no revenge, no mystery of
tho kind mentioned by tho police. A dozen
prisoners held In connection with tho case
will bo released and the prosecution will
center on ono man Joseph Morlcl. Ho, It
Is said, Is the man who (lred the shot which
killed 1)1 Giovanni. Several wltnesres make
this statement nnd tho friends of Morlcl
claim ho shot in scU'-defense.
Morlcl is lying1 on a cot at the county
Jail' hospital. Hofwas shot through the
cheeks and for that reason 'ho has boon
unable to niako a stutement. According to
the friends of Morlci ho will not deny tho
shooting. They further contend that there
never was any mystery In connection with
tle murder; that thoy repeatedly explained
tho real facts to the police, but that their
statements were not accepted. They ex
plained that tho police bolleved that they
wero trying to shield tho guilty ones and
thereupon gavo out sensational news.

LONDON, Feb. 23. Cardinal Vaughan hoi
irsued n declaration against the antl
Cathollc oath taken by King Edward on tho
occasion of his accession to the tbrono and
"with the hope of repairing nnd canceling
the Injuries thus committed against the
Divine Majesty" he directs that a general
communion of reparation, shall be cele
brated In every Catholic church within his
Jurisdiction on tho second Sunday of Lent,
and that In futuro tho words "In reparation"
shall bo prefixed and read before tho di
vine praises recited after benediction.
Tho cardinal's declaration says the Drltlsh
Parliament,. alone of all the parliaments
of tho world, declaros two sacred Catholic
doctrines are "superstitious and Idola
trous." They are held sacred by 12,000,000
ui mo niuft n nuujcuio Him, urniut'B
Roman church, tho Greek and eastern com
munities. .
Tho cardinal says he brought tho matter
to the attention, of n cabinet minister throe
years ago, who told him tho government
would take lip the subject. After the
queen's death ho wrote a letter to tho king,
"couched in terms of fidelity and dictated
by loyalty." The cardinal does not say
whether ho received a reply. The cardinal
commends tho Catholic peers' protest and
hopes "this rant of hateful fanaticism will
soon be removed."

PEKIN. Feb. 23. Sir Robert Hart (chief
of the Chinese Imperial customs) has sent
tho ministers ot the powers a strongly
worded letter of protest against tho seizure
of his property to Increase tho size of tho
legation's area, which has been taken by
Austria, France, Germany and Italy. The
latter power had taken the ground on
which Sir Robert's house was situated.
He says It can only bo Chinese government
property tn nn indoflnito sense, In that'
during tho last twenty yearn part ot his
salary as a I'ckln official has been given to
him In houses instead ot tho government
paying In cash. Sir Robert also put
money into tho purchase ot land, In building
housos and keeping them In repair. He
considered that bavlne lived there for
twenty years, ho owned the property ab
solutely. It in generally understood In
the service that whoever has lived that
long in a houso owned it, having it on
rental nllowance. Ho says Italy, es
pecially, had aultablo grounds and tbat It
had no reason to share In the general gratis
distribution ot lands for tho various lega
tions. Sir Robert also polntn to his many
yenra In tho service of tho foreign powers
and to his having 'made the customs pay
tho principal and Interest ot loans, a
thoroughly International service, and that
he has even paid tho Intorest on tho loans
slnco tho trouble began, nnd be thinks ha
ought to hnvo received moro consideration.
General Ynmagutchte, the Japanese com
mnnder, nnd General Chaffee havo Issued
orders permitting visitors, properly accred
ited, to visit tho torblddon city on certain
days during certain hours, nnd that foreign
gonernls and their personal friends can
visit the city at any time. The foreign
ministers consider themselves slighted.
The principal topic discussed at yester
day's meeting of tho ministers and today's
meeting was short, owing to the ministers
awaiting the full text ot the Chinese court's
last edicts, which, though unofficially re
ported as absolutely satisfactory, requlro
official confirmation.

"I had a very curious experience with
focd aud Its relation to tho body. Somo
time ago from unavoidable exposure to n
high wind for some time I was uttacked
seriously with neuralgia tn the head, which
ultimately became chronic and 1 suffered
much, as added to the pain I had a strange
roaring or surging sound In my head which
kept me awake at night and was ot the most
unpleasant character.
"It was unt In the ears, but seemed In
the very center of tho head and was ex
tremely distressing. Occasionally I bad
dizziness come over me with the struufio
roaring. Medicines seemed to produce no
beneficial result. I finally concluded that
tho famous brain food known as Grape-Nuts
would be tho proper thing for me to inn
aud I started In, using It every day,
"At once I began to recover; the neural
gia pains left and steadily and surely the
distressing roaring In my brain, which had
so tortured me, began to disappear. It
grow fainter and fainter with long spells of
rest between tho return of the hateful
noises until, tn a comparatively short time,
they stopped completely and entirely,
"I am now permanently free from this
distressing nflUction. My head is entirely
well and strong, with tbat bright feeling
which we refer to as 'clear as a bell.' Apart
from the wonderful value ot the food, It lr
a' most deliclouH article and I can assure
you I have an ardently consuming affection
for It.
This Is a platu, honest statement of my
case and what Grape-Nuts food has done for
mo. I shall ever be grateful from my heart
that It has boon given to the world and I
havo been one of the fortunate people to
uso lt. I neglected to say that I havo gained
remarkably in my general health and
strength and In flosh also since beginning
tho use ot Grape-Nuts. I havo not had au
opportunity to weigh myself, but my ap
pearance is sufficient. Please kindly with
hold my name from publication if you use

EFFECTS GIANT COMBINATION
.North Anierlcnn Trtmt Compnny of
etr Jemer Incorporates Se
ernl Other Concern,
NEW YORK, Feb. 23. Tho announcement
was made today that tho North American
Trust company of New Jersey has taken
over control of the Corporation Trust com
pany of New Jersey and Corporation Trust
company of Now York, tho Corporation Or
ganization and Trust company of Chicago,
the New Jersey Registration company ot
Iloston and the Corporation Trust company
of Maine, together with numerous minor
companies.
Although no anuouncment has been made
ot tho connection between thq North Amer
ican Trust company of New Jersey nnd tho
North American Trust company of New
York, It is said that tho relations of the
two nro very close.
It Is not the purpose of tho North Ameri
can Trust company of New Jersey to change
tho organization or business methods of the
various companies which it has acquired. It
wilt have a capital ot $100,000 nnd a surplus
of $000,000.
Tho Evening Post says ot the combina
tion: Tho combination is of unusual Im
portance, In vlow of other consolidations
pending, and suggests the uttlmato central
ization In this city on a scale never bofore
suggostej In the United Stated. Ouo of tho
objects of alliance will be to make dis
tinctly reliable the co-operation facilities ot
tho different states, so that what Is done In
tho way ot putting through a deal at one
conter may be immediately reinforced by
similar arrangements at another. In this
way tho financing of (rent enterprises Is
expected to be expedited and unusual fa
clllllcs afforded. Taken In connection with
tho plan to sell out the trust company of
Now York to tho North American Trust
company of New York (under the samo man
agement ns the North American Trust com
pany of New Jersey), the undertaking In
vclved the practical consolidation of a dozen
different companies, with an estimated total
capitalization of something llko $50,000,000,
In the words of a promoter ot the scheme,
this "really means the location In this city
of a financial department store, whero every
special business connected with the financ
ing of large deals and ordinary trust com
pany routine can bo transacted."

statement;
Ninety per cent of tho population of this
country suffer from stomoch trouble and 73
per cent of the 90 suffer from Indigestion.
If any ono has that uncomfortable feeling
In tho stomach, a headachu or a feeling of
repression, ho should at onco take u tea
spoonful of Cascarlne, which will moo his
bowels and rellovo him at once. if any
one suffers from Indigestion and gas on the
stomach, ho should take Cnscarlne. the
gentle nnd pleasant laxative, which 1 iuc
in toy prnctlco nnd which Is recommended
by thousands of peoplo who have used It
If you cannot sleep nt night, If you are
restless and havo palpltntlon of the heart
which usually leads one to believe hn has
heart disease, when in reality It Is nothing
more than accumulation of gas in tho stom
ach, you should tako a tcaspoonful of Can
carlno beforo rotirlug, and after continuing
for a week you will find you nro troubled
no moro and can sleep well and sound.
If your tongun in conted nud you find a
bad tasto In your mouth, your stomach Is
out of order nnd requires Cnscarluo to put
It In shape. You must not eat too much
nnd you must have your meals legularly
