Omaha banks are now wrestling with the
problem of the redemption of stampi under
tho terms of ttiu law which went Into eifect

who has written to the department making
r showing In thu runttcr and asking fori
Information. Tho regulations for re-1
dcmptlon provide thai In all cam the
persons owning tho stamps must show
whoro they were purchased, tho exact date
of purchase, the mimu of the collector re
ceiving tho money and the cuutractor who
printed tho stamps und drufts, together
yltli tho statement that tho owner Is not
lndobted to tho United States In any
amount, and other Information of uti ex
tromoly Inquisitorial nature.
Tho conditions under which the stamped
paper was sold to tho present '.otders In
many cases muko It absolutely Impossible
for them to glvu upon oath tho exact date
of tho purchase of tho checks or drafts,
white many of them could not po33lbly tell
the names of the contractors who printed
them. In most Instances tho checks were
purchased by tho hunks and sold to their
customers who never thought of asking
whero and by whom they were printed,
litilirlntn Mititt; 12 1 nc where.
This troublo Is Intensified In Omaha by
tho fact that for tho last year the old
law was lu forco there was no contracting
printer In this city nnd banks were forced
to send away from town for their Imprinted
checks. Some sent to Kansas City nnd
made payment to tho collector of that
revenue district; others sent to Chicago
and tuudo payment there, while yot other
ordored in thcBo different towns, but paid
their money to tho collector of tho Ne
braska district lu Omiiliu. All claims for
reimbursement under the now law must
bo made to tho collector whore tho claims
originated, so much of tho business from
Omaha persons must bo done In other
towns, Increasing thu trouble nnd expense.
Thoro is probably $7,000 In government
stamps nnd Imprinted paper In this city
subject to redemption, A considerable part
Is In thu hands of tho banks, but prob
ably tho larger part la In tho hands of
Individual depositors In tho form of half
used check books. In some cases tho banks
havo offored to buy from tho customers tho
unused checks nt tho rate paid by them
and whero this is dono tho work of re
demption Is simplified, although the pre
pared claim must show all sales and pur
chases and tho namo of every person
handling tho Btampa from tho time they
wero secured from tho government or con
tractor. Itert TWitn Tleil to Cliiliiin.
When tho claim has been prepared It Is
presented to tho collector, whero It Is
certified nnd then forwarded to the print
ing contractor, who again certifies to It.
Then U It Is found to bo correct by tho
collector on Its return to his ofllco and
tho affidavits of tho owners nnd all persons
required to certify to tho truthfulness of
tho contents of tho instrument nro round
to bo correct In form, tho claim Is for
warded to tho commissioner, whero It will
bo paid at tho expiration of somo unknown
time.
Tho red tape and loss of tlmo Imposed
by the regulations havo caused ninny per
sons to pocket their losses and mako no
uttemnt to secure refunds! Among tho
porsons thus nffected is tho collector of In
tornal revenuo of the Nebraska district,
Elmer Stephenson, who says that ho would
rather loso tho money Involved than to
mako out the necessary papers, oven though
ho npprovos tho claim himself.
Settlement Will lie Protracted
nanks with $300 to $500 of this paper on
hand ennnot afford to bo so lenient and thu
settlement of claims will probably continue
for years, as fow it any of the accounts
nro found to bo correct in form when first
presented and often tho departure from tho
strict regulations Is not discovered until
tho panors reach tho ofllco of tho commis
sioner. ' whon thev nro returned to the
claimant, to bo sent around the clrclo of
former owners of tho stamps onco again.
It Is said that business men and banks In
all parts of tho country nro protesting to
thu commissioner of internal revenue
ngalnst tho regulations end that not only
Senator Millard, but other senators aud
representatives nil over the country are
inquiring whether or not It is Impossible
to havo tho process of redemption sim

The coatleas preacher nas reached Onuha.
Uy distinct steps tho coat has departed
from tho backs of men nnd now mascullno
Omaha stands In shirt sleeves, or In mod

First tho ordinary citizen with many
misgivings and a sneaking Idea that he
was making himself obnoxiously prominent,
but with n resolve to do and dare, left his
coat in his ofllco when ho went upon
tho Rtrcct. Tho next day he left that coat
at home.
Then tho letter carriers took It up and
'ra uuiuiai permission 10 wear a

In defiance of all rules the motormen on
tho street cars removed heavy coats when
they bad passed the central portions of
tho city, und one morning a daring one who
aid not caro If ho received an enforced
vacation, ran around the lino In his shirt
sleeves. Tho officials of tho road winked
as they looked at tho thermometer, and
tnen other coats camo off.
When tho mercury made a practice of
ranging around the century mark for tho
greater art of tho day, an official ukase
permitted policemen to go without their
coats.
Now tho coatlcss preacher has reached
Omaha. This morning at tho North
Sldo Christian church, Ilev. W. T. Hilton,
tho pastor, will expound tho gospel devoid
of n coat this means tho preacher, not the
gospel.
Tho official announcement was mado by
Mr. Hilton Friday when. ho sent to the
newspapers n notlco to tho effect that "all
men are Invited to lenve their coats at
homo; the pastor will sot tho example."
Tho coatlcss preacher was In evldenco

peculiar coincidence the preacher was of
the same church as the man who Is to set
at naught nil tho traditions of the cloth in

W. C. Mulford of Omaha is a candidate

SYLVAN LAKE, S. D., July 27, 1901. My
Dear Husband: How do you ever stand the
heat of Omaha? I read In yesterday's pa
pers that the thermometer registered 103
degrees on Wednesday, and that It was
nearly as hot, with a greater amount of
humidity, on Thursday.
Proceeding on the tneory that no news Is
good niws, I presume you havo not yot sue
cumbud to tho torrid rays of the sun. lie
foro you do I want to mako a life-saving
appeal to you. While your thermometer
aa been busy registering 100 and more, the
mercury In ours has been content In climb
ing Just about halt as high. During the
last ten days tho temperature here at high
oon has ranged from 65 to 68 degrees.
A bright fire burns upon the hearth In the
fflco every evening, and I assure you its
warmth Is comfortable. But mere coolness
not tho only attraction of Sylvan lake.
Thero aro so many features that would de
light you I scarcely know whero to begin in
enumerating them.
Tho location Is most picturesque. This
beautiful little lako of clear, cold water Is
almost hidden among the great, toworlng
rocks. The hotel Is right on tho edge of
the lako, and hero one can rest In peaceful
quiet. Wo aro six miles away from the
railroad, so not even the noise of passing
trains will disturb you.
A comfortablo four-horse stage meets tho
rain at Custer, S. D., and brings tho guests
to Sylvan lako. The drlvo Itself Is a pleas-
ng Introduction. Out among the hills, In
creasing In height and lmprcsslvencss as
tho way progresses, tho mountain road Is
splendid tor a drivo, a rldo or a walk.
But speaking of pedestrian expeditions,
that to Harney Peak la tho most exhila
rating and the view from the summit most
enchanting. This king mountain of the
Black Hills Is 8,200 feet htgh and from its
peak five states are in Right. The air Is
wonderfully clear and tho range of vision
mmonso.
Then you will want to row on tho lako
with us. Tho boats are free for tho use of
hotel guests and thero arc many points
among the rocky boundaries that are so In
viting that you Just naturally head your
boat toward ono of them.
Tho hotel Is well nppolnted and tho
service Is good. The tnblo Is tempting and
I am1 eating so much that my weight will
surprlso you. Tho drinking water is
brought from a mountain spring, COO feet
above tho hotel, and I fancy Is rather more
than "99.40 per cent pure."
Board and lodging costs from $14 to f 20 a
v.etk. Wo aro paying only $16, so our bill
will not be so great as you expected. The
money I will savo from my vacation allow
ance I'm going to bank toward my seal
skin coat. Unless It gets warmer hero
soon I may have need of it before tho sum
mer Is over.
Tho trip from Oma1 a Is made as pleasant
as midsummer traveling can be by covering
a good part of the Journey nt night. Lcav
ing Omaha at 9 o'clock in the cool of the
evening wo were well along on tho Bur
llngton's line to tho northwest when we
aroso for breakfast. Tho breakfast and
luncheon In the dining-car were real treats
and I'm now prepared to bellevo all the
compliments for Burlington dlnlng-car serv
Ice ono hears so frequently. We reached
Custer, S. D.( at 3:10 tho next afternoon
and nttcr the pleasant mountain drlvo of
which I'vo already told you were at Sylvan
Lake tho coolest and prettiest summer re
sort I've ever had the pleasure of knowing,
Do pleaso come up hero soon. I cannot
tell you bow anxious wo aro for you as
long as you persist In remaining In the
city's heat. 1 confess you mako us feel al
together selfish In enjoying the delights of
this cool retreat while you are almost pros
tratcd during the day and at night have to
Bleep out on the lawn.
In coming up hero next week, as you surely
must do, I think you will savo money by
purchasing a Burlington route ticket
Dcadwood and return for $22.40, nnd then
secure a stopover at Custer. Tho tickets
aro good to return till tho last of October.
Please close your desk and come up. At
fcctlonately, KLEANOR

Veterinarians estimate that about '100
horses havo perished with the heat In
Douglas county since the beginning of tho
exceedingly warm weather. Most of theso
horses wero worked In Omaha and many
of them wero thoso of men who' haul dirt
for public Improvements and for tho ex
envatton of buildings. Several horses died
as tho result of boat at tho work of tho
park commissioners at Kountxo park. Sev
oral fell upon tho downtown streets, but
no record was kept of any of these deaths,
so no reliable statistics can bo secured
Several valuable horses showed signs of ex
baustlon, hut wero cared for beforo being
permanently injured,
This year above all others owners havo
been caroful of tho lives of their horses
and tho proprietors of different llvory
stables have absolutely refused to let tho
horses leave the stables during tho warmer

Nino-tenths of the baskets which pass
In Omaha for bushel measures hold only
even-eighths of a bushel. .Some of them
hold even less," said T. V. Mahammltt, city
nspector of weights and mciiturcs. "Buy-
rs of fruits and vegetables are robbed of
hundreds of dollars evcrv jcar by the use
of theKe dishonest baskets,
'Unscrupulous dealers use baskets of this
ort nnd avoid arrcs: by trnylng that they
icll a basketful of fruit or vegetables and
u not u.ikc any statement as to tho size
f the basket. Many g-ocery stores are
usln tlese short baskets Farmers h.ne
them Ard peddlers mak- free uso of them,
"Some people uso the short bushels unlu-
cnllouull)-. They nro on inlo everywhere.
In fact ,t Is almost Impossible to buy a
basket which holds a full bushel. The de
mand for the smaller baskots compels man-
facturers to make them.
"In Chicago nnd Kansas City tho use of
a':rts which are not accurate measures
has been prohibited. Any person found with
short measure In his possession Is prose
cuted. This same plan should be ndopted In
Omaha. Until changes arc made In th
Ity ordinance people who buy fruits nnd
tr.it.tbles should insist on tho use of rjg-
u!nr measures which bear the Inspector's
tamp."

OMAHA MEN FOR ST. LOUIS
Pan-American I.omlera Snld to
Hooked for the Great Show
of 1003.
He
A Buffalo dispatch to tho St. Louis Globe
Democrat intimates that at least three men
prominently identified with the Pan-Ameri
can exposition, one of them the electrical
genius of Omaha, will transfer their talents
to tho St. Louis show next fall. According
to tno oispatcb "the three names already
mentioned of Pan-American superintendents
sure to go to St. Louis stand out at tho
present moment as doubly reassured. Dr,
David T. Day, gossip says, will be at the
head of the mlnea department It the United
Btatcs government will release him. Su
perlntcndcnt Convene of the live stock de
partmcnt will go If the St. Louis proposl
tlon comes In good financial form. It Is
purely a matter of salary.
"It is now stated that Frederick W. Tay
lor, prominently mentioned' as director of
concessions for the St. Louts exposition.
will go In that capacity. He holds that
no director of concessionaires ever sue
cccded himself at a following exposition
This, It Is mated, cuts Mr. Taylor off tho
St. Louis exposition, but Mr. Tay
lor is likewise superintendent of
horticulture. He has a record
an exhibit man covering three exposl
ttons, and It Is said thnt he will receive a
offer of superintendent of the horticulture
department for tho Louisiana Purchase ex
position. How Mr. Taylor will treat such
proposition is not known. He Is a first
clnss business man and a successful plaro
of concessions. Thero are other fields of
activity open to him and ho may fall Into
business berth In Buffalo. It would rcaulr
a good salary to tako him to St. Louis as
an exhibit man.
"A now name mentioned at this moment
Is that of Henry Hustln, engineer at th
head of the mechanical and electrical bu
reau. He has had chargo of the physical
sldo of tho electrical problem at the Pan
American, and how successfully he ha
worked It Is well known. If there Is one
thing that saves the Pan-American exposl
tlon from a complete failure It Is the work
01 nrnry lluitln. Mr. Itustln Is a young
man, He has grappled tho Niagara current
as It comes In the form of 33,000 volta of
electricity and mellowed It Into the peer
less brilliancy of the electric tower. The
power and electric plants ore his work
Henry Itustln can save tho St. Louts Kxpo
sltlon company thousands of dollars, and It
Is stated openly by thoso who know the
mind at St. Louis that he will havo charge
of this department In 1903.

application of this law depends to n very

dally when It must meet tho requirements
of the "fantastic heat of summer," when
tho most skillful art of the culinary ndept
can scarcely arouso a oolite semblance of

Health is the stem upon which the (lower of beauty buds and blossoms. It
may be said that a healthy woman is always beautiful, for health has a beauty all
its own. Thu clear oyc, the bright complexion, tho firm step, tho ringing laugh,
have a charm which exceeds the charm of mere beauty of features, when Mich
beauty belongs to a weak, nervous, irritablo woman. Health is, therefore, tho
most precious heritngo of woman, to bo kept and guarded as a priceless posses
sion. When we look for tho cause of failing health in women we shall generally
find it in womanly diseases. Few women apprcciato how intimately tho general
health is related to tho local womanly health, or how surely irregularity, disa
greeable drains, or female weakness will undermine the strength, rob the eye of
its brightness and tho check of its color.
How shall health be restored to weak nnd sick women ? WThat will bring back
the plumpness and prettiness which disenso has marred? There are thousands of
women who could answer those questions out of a happy experience. One of
theso is Mrs. Mary K. Lewis, who writes the following letter :
Mrs. Mary E. Lewis, of Tanner, Gilmer Co., W. Vn writes! "I will always recommend Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, ' Golden Medical Discovery nnd ' Pleasant Pellets,' for they
cured mc when doctors and other medicines
failed. Por fifteen years I suffered untold
misery. When I commenced tnldiiK Dr.
Pierce's medicines. I had civeti up nil hope
I could not ne down to
)f ever fcttinp well.
f " . " ... . , t i .
sleep, aim everytning t aie woiuu aimosi
cramp me to death. Was very nervous and
coula hardly walk acrosn the room. I only
welched ninety pounds when I commenced
talcing- these medicines; I now weigh one
hundred and forty pounds and am having
letter health than ever before. My friend nil
say they can hardly believe that I am the same
person; after being sick so long, I have
changed to be robust and rosy-cheeked. I
have taken fifteen bottles of ' Prescription,'
fifteen of the 1 Discovery ' nnd fifteen of the
' Pellets.' 1 take great pleasure In recom
mending your medicines to the sick for I
know that if it had not been for them I
would not have been living to-day. I am
very thankful to God, who put the great
power In your medicines that cured me."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. How amply that claim is
supported by lottcra liko the abovo 1
and how much more that sentence ex
presses than is to bo found in the bare
statement of tho faot. Mrs. Lewis'
cure could all bo summed up in tho
statement that sho was weak and was
made strong, was sick and was mado
well, by tho uso of " Favorite Prescrip
tion." But tho statement would bo far
less impressive than when she tells of
fifteen long years of helpless suffering,
doctors and medicines failing to relievo
her, all hope of getting well gono, not
able to lio down to sleep, scarcely able
to walk across the room, her nervous
system shattered, and her body wasted
until she weighed but ninety pounds.
Then she is led to try Dr. Pierce's

"It Is with pleasure that I recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Nora II. Tipton,
of Cropper (Cropper Station), Shelby Co., Ky. "You remember my case was one of female
weakness and weak lungs. I had no appetite and would often spit blood; was confined to
my bed almost half of the time, and could hardly stand on my feet at times for the pains
through my whole body and system. My husband had to -pay many large doctor bills for
me, but since I have tnken four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, four of ' Golden
Medical Discovery,' and three vials of ' Pleasant Pclleta,' we haven't paid any more doctor
bills. It has been seven months since I stopped using Dr. Pierce's medicines, and I have
been enjoying good health ever since. I can never praise these medicines too highly, for
I have received so much benefit. I pray that many who suffer as I did will take Dr. Pierce's
mediciucs. I am sure they will never fail to cure when given a fair trial. Everybody tells
me I look better than they ever saw me. I am sure I feel better than I ever did before."
Dr. Pierco's Ftvorito Prescription establishes regularity, dries disagreeable
drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures fomalo weakness. It pro
motes the appct&e, cures nervousness, sleeplessness, backache, headache, and
other ills which aro caused by womanly diseases.
Sick women aro invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free All correspond
ence is treated as strictlv private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr.
