of the Tour.
After a .tour qt ten months, mado In a
lolniirely manner through tho most his-'
torlo and Interesting sections of tho Orient,
Mr. and Mrs. 0. W. Unlnger and their
granddaughter, Mlns Mnrlan Hal I or, re
turned to Omaha yesterday morning. Since
they left Omaha, tho first of last August,
they hsvo enjoyed the delights of climate,
scenery, associations and historic mcmorlos
of England, Germany, Italy, Egypt and the'
Holy Land. They have Journeyed by easy'
stages from placeto place, resting by the
way as long as their comfort required or
the enjoyment of tholr environments sug
gested. They relumed to Omaha In tho
very best of health arid spirits that attest
tholr great enjoyment of their trip,
Tholr roturn trip across tho Atlantic was
mado In tho North German Lloyd steam
ship Wllholm dor Grosser, nnd.among their
fellow pessengers was Admiral Schley, with
whom they becamo well acquainted and
who expressed to thorn frequently tho pleas-

SHE QUIT.
Hut It n n llnril T'till.
It la bard to bollevo that coffee will put
a person In xtich n condition as It did Mrs
E. 8. Brown of Apple Creek, O. Sho tells
hor own story,
"I did not believe coffee caused ray trou
ble, and frequently said 1 liked It so well
I would not, nor could not quit drinking It,
even If It, took my life, but I was a miser
able sufferer from heart trouble and nerv
ous prostration lor lour years, I was
scarcoly able to bo around at all. Had no
energy and did not enre for anything. Was
umaclated and had a constant pain around
my heart until I thought I could uot endure
It. i-For months I never went' to bed ex
peotlng to get up in the' morning. I felt as
though I was liable to die any tlroo during
tho night.
Frequently I hnd nervous chills and tho
least excitement would drive sleep away,
nndrnny, llttlo nolso would upset me ter
ribly, Twas gradually getting worse until
finally ono time It canie over me and I
asked myself what Is tho use of being sick
all the time and buying medicine so that
I could Indulge mytelf In coffeo?
So I thought I would see If I could quit
drinking coffee and got some I'ostum Food
to' help mo quit. I made It strictly ac
cording to tho directions and I want to tell
you that change was tho greatest stop In
ni)i life, It was easy to quit coffeo because
I had thp Posture, whjch I like better than
I like the old coffee. Ono by one the old
troubles left, until now I am In splendid
health, nerves steady, heart all right and
tho pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medicine,
can do all my housework and have done a
great deal beside.
My 'slster-ln-law, who visited mo tbts
summer,, had been nn Invalid for some time
much as I was, I got b-T to quit coffeo
and drink Postum. She led five pounds
In thro weeks, and I never saw- such a
change In anyone's health. Anyone by writ
ing ma can receive verification of these
statements."
New York May 21. after a pleasant ocean
voyage, and had It not been that It en
countered a fog near the termination of the
trip their vessel would have beaten tne
record for transatlantic speed. iney
hardly stopped after reaching the American
shores until they landed at tneir umana
home, Mr. F. L. Hallcr, Mr. Lininger s son-
in-law, meeting them in Chicago.
Finds Kanillr Tree.
"Upon leaving home last August," said
Mr. Lininger In discussing his long absenco
this morning, "wo went to Paris and spent
two weeks very pleasantly In enjoyment
of the exposition and Interesting sights and
localities in and near the French metropo
lis. Then we spent two months In Ger
many. 'NVhllo thoro I put In. a grcnt deal
of tlmo In. looking up my family genealogy
and met with remarkable success In trac
ing my family history back' as far as the
year 1000, securing all of the needed docu
ments for the construction of the family
tree. I found that the family was one of
prominence and pronounced respectability
In early German history: that ono of Its
members generations since was a duke and
that there is a castle on the upper Rhino
that is still known as Lininger castle.
"While In Gormany wo visited Berlin,
Krankfort-on-tbe-Maln and other cities and
did not miss the opportunity or' witnessing
the passion play at Oberammergau. I
was miich Impressed with tho evidences of
modern progreBslvenesB everywhere mani
fest In Germany nnd the changes that
have taken place In the last twenty years.
American Ideas seem to haVo takon hold
of the people of Germany and the cities
nro enjoying a veritably boom. Omaha Is
not In it with many of thorn. This is es
pecially the case In Berlin. I noticed even
greator progress when I reached Buda
Pcsth, where whole streets are .being
opened up and flanked with long rows of
new buildings of modern architecture.
This Is being done largely by foreign capi
tal, In which American capital takes a
prominent place. I noticed especially that
tho New York Llfo Insurance company Is
Interested In some of the Investments,
Quaint Old Constantinople.
"From there we went to Constantinople
for two weeks. There we began to encoun
ter decay that was In strange contrast with
tho progresslveness found In other portions
of Europe. There Is no prosperity there.
Constantinople has lost its once proud char
acteristic as the cosmopolitan city of the
world. From there we went to Smyrna,
whence we went to pass an Interesting day
In viewing the ruins of Ephcsus. neyroot
wns our next stopping point for abput a
week, from which point' we enjoyed excur
sions to surrounding points of Interest,
among them the city of Damascus, tho pur
est oriental city In the world. This city
has never been destroyed, nnd Is practically
now what It was In Christ's time. When In
that section of Syria we also visited Baal
bfc, one of the most Interesting ruined
towns, the naalath of scripture and the
Hellopolls of tho Greeks, both of which
names mean 'the City of the Sun.' Hera are
found the ruins of three ancient temples,
one of which Is one of the wonders of the
world. Thjs city was built by King Solo
mon. There Is a modern village there built
up near the ruins., which are magnificent.
"From Beyroot we went to Joffa, the sea
port through which. Jerusalem is reached
by rail. When 1 visited that section
twenty years ago. wo went from Jalfa to
Jeruialem by private conveyance, but the
trip Is now made by rail. The visit of the
German emperor to that section two years
ago was the means of supplying that section
with good roads, which wero made for the
convenience of his tour.
Chnnftca lit Jeruaalem.
"I am very glad that I was able to' see
Jerusalem twenty years ago, for great
changfcs have been wrought there which
item almost like destcratloo. They have
built a modern city outside of the walls,
and even liiEide they haVe torn away jnany
interesting relics of antiquity and sup
planted them with new and modern utiuc
tures. Another change I noticed with ie
gret was that all of the sacred spots are
made tbo centers of catch-penny enter
prises and tho visitor is charged small fees
to inspect them. Every man who makes
an excavation for a new building discovers
something of alleged historic or sacred In
terest and for an Inspection of which he
at once begins exacting a fee. The doubt
ful enterprise of some of these spcculatlvo
individuals Is decidedly confusing to the
unstudied visitor, but having studied the
locality before spoliation began, I encoun
tered little embarrassment from It.
"Returning to Jaffa, we wont by boat to
Port Said, Egypt, and from there by- rail
to Cairo, where we remained for ten weeks.
It was while In tho latter city and vicinity
that I made the greater part of the collec
tion for tbo library. While there I had an
artist paint a frieze, which will be hung
iu the Egyptian room in the library. It Is
an exact reproduction of ono found on one
of the tombs, even to tho vivid coloring
which Is still retained by tho original.

difficult to remove works.- of tho masters
from Italy, and tho same difficulty was en
countered In shipping mummies and other
curios from Egypt, but there are ways to do
It and Mr. Lininger found them.
Probably tho most Interesting art acqui
sition by Mr. Lininger during his absenco
s tho eclcbrnted picture by Hougucreau,
'Tho Return of Spring," or "Tho Awaken-
ng of Spring." which ho purchased whllo
In London. It will bo recalled to tbo
momory of non-artlstlc Omaha people as
tho painting through which Carey Judson
Warblnton was prompted to hurl a chair
about ten yeurs ago while It was on ex
hibition In Omaha, because, In his opinion.
It violated his sense of lic proprieties. It
wos shown at tho exposition here three
years ago, at which time Mr. Lininger tried
to buy it for $15,000. but tho owner asked
$18,000. Whllo In London ho expressed to
a dealer a wish to buy It nnd the next day
tho dealer sent him word that ho knew
whero It wns and that It was for salo. The
plcturo was In Paris and a deal was at
once concluded for Its removal permanently
to Omaha.

"There aro four mummies in the collec
lion, cacn or which is accompanied by a
history of tho personage whose outward
semblance In Its actual self Is thus trans
mltted to us. One of them existed as long
as 3,200 years ugo. Every article In the
collection, when placed, will be nccom
panted by a concise statement of what It
is and what Is Its significance. It will take
several months to put It In place, which
must bo done by persons familiar with
Egyptian history and antiquities. The edu
catton.il Idea was my guide In making tho
selections, and It will bo nrranged nnd ills

complete history of the early tribes of
Egypt down to the present day. It com
prises chiefly works of art, bronzes, statu
ary, lamps, vessels, ornaments and articles
of apparel. I secured one collection of 300
or 400 scarabea. The scarab was the sacred
beetle, which was worn as an emblem of
the god Khepcra, the maker of gods, typify
Ing tho resurrection and new life of
the world to come. Upon tho breasts
of these Insects the Egyptian dlgnitsrlos
were wont to Inscribe their coats of arms,
after which they were worn ns ornaments,
Some of them now in existence record the
coats of arms of personages who existed
1,000 years ago. some oi tnom were
used ns ornaments by royal person
ages who trod the earth thousands
of years ago. It was the custom
when their owners were embalmed to re
move the bowels and place these and other
ornaments Inside the mummy, by which
means they have been transmitted to pos.

Guy II. Cramer, chief rate clerk In the
Burlington passenger department, received
a couplo of valuablo war relics yesterday
from his old comrade, M. C. Knelp, formerly
paymaster's yeoman on the United States
ship Newark, upon which vessel Cramer
served as ship's writer during the Spanish
war.
Tho relics aro a sword and a Mauser rifle.
Concerning them, Mr. Knelp wrote: "Tho
sword wus borrowed from tho arsenal at
Tnnk-Koo threo nnd one-half miles from
Taku, on tho Pel-Ho river, at the time
tho Russians took 785 "chtnks" and tied
their cues together In bunches of five,
placed them In tbo captured magazine and
touched snmo off.
"Tho rifle wns ono of 807 which wore sur
rendered to tho 'Captain McCalla' at Ap-
parrle, Northern Luzon, December 3, 1SS9."
Mr. Cramer prizes theso relics very
highly and will glvo them a prominent placo
In the valuablo collection which ho has
amassed during his service In the navy
when tho Spnnlsh war was In progress.
