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.

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 plified.

Uy distinct steps tho coat has departed from tho backs of men nnd now mascullno Omaha stands In shirt sleeves, or In mod ern shirtwaists. 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 bloUHO. 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 In St. Louis several weoks ngo and by a 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 Omaha temorrow. Tho St. Louis preacher. however, confined his negligee sorvlco to tho evening, while that in Omaha Is to con- tlnuo through all of tho services of tho day.

Both of these men run on tho Omaha and Ogden route, the former on tho cast nnd tho later on tho west end. John T.

There will be a meeting of the Omaha as soclatlon Saturday, August 3, at tho office of tho chief clerk for tho purpose of making preparations for the entertainment of tho visiting delegates. The convention will probably bo held In the south court room of tho federal building, Tho Omaha association will provide en tertntnment for tho delegates and their wives during tho tlmo between the sessions and will probably give an excursion to one of tho parks, followed by a reception. 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 1'. s. I wibu you would express to me right away Mary's blue woolen dress, also her golf cape. The poor little thing Is posl tlvely cold In thu clothing she now has. K, HEAT KILLS MANY HORSES lint Wcntlier nuitea Mortality Sta tlatlrn Anioiiw the Faithful Ilensta of Unrrirn. 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 hours. 0V) 0 30 (g S These beers are brew ed by tho celebrated Blatz process, which accounts for the uni form purity and gen uine beer goodness represented in every bottle.

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."

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.

Upon the application of this law depends to n very great degree our personal comfort, espe' 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 appreciation from tho languid nppctlto.

Cold Salmon with Horseradish Sauce ft 0 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 medicines, gains fifty pounds ih weight, has better health than ever before in her life, becomes robust and rosy-checked, and is a wonder both to herself and her friends. "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. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V.

Tho only motive for substitution is to enable the dealer to mako the little moro profit paid on the salo of less meritorious articles. mm i 1 THE apMHTV BOOK. 11 bmmuty rootm In homlth, then m book whloh taiaAM how tm llvm a hmalthy life Im m vmrllamlm "Bmmuty ."
