Ths successful ones on the city ticket
rer being congratulated yesterday by
friends. Mayor Koutsky spent the greater
portion of tha day In his office In the city
ball building, where ha received his friends,
who offered congratulations. It waa the
ame with Treasurer Howe and the balance
of those elected.
Taaterday afternoon there waa a report
on the streets that on account of tbe vote
between Koutsky and Hoctor being so
close the democrats might contest the
election. In talking of this matter to a
Bee reporter last evening Mr. Hoctor said:
"As far as a contest Is concerned I have
nothing to My until the official vote Is
announced. The canvass may make Kont
skjr's majority larger, or It may Increase
my vote. There Is really nothing to say
on the subject at this time."
Mr. Hoctor admitted that on the face of
the return Koutsky had been elected.
One of the most persistent rumors afloat
is to the effect that an attempt Is to be
made at the council meeting on Monday
night to so manipulate the returns as to
count Hoctor in. The sports who have
wagered tholr money that Hoctor will be
the next mayor orp aald to be behind this
move, having refused to settle bets until
after the official canvass Is made. They
are relying on the democratic city council
to do the juggling, and assert that tho
final returns will show that Hoctor Is
elected by a, majority of six.
There may be an error In 0(6 eturns
which If true may elect WWta Martin
councilman from the Third ward instead
ef Krlttenbrlnk. "When the reports were
being put down on the sheets a return for
Martin waa given to Welsh. Should this
prove to be true the city council will con
sist of four republicans and two demo
crats. Another presumable error was dis
covered In the tabulation of the returns
for the school board, but the result will not
be changed, as both Rich and Knight are
aafa with big majorities.
Those who are interested In politics say
that more interest waa displayed at the
last election than ever before. After the
closing of the polls the streets were
crowded and evert one of the twelve elec
tion booths was filled to overflowing. -
At newspaper headquarters, where the
returns were being received, the crowd be
came so large and the enthusiasm of the
voters so great that It was with great
difficulty that the returns could be tabu
lated at all. Both the republican and
democratlo headquarters were crowded
until midnight, and then the voters of both
parties moved over to the newspaper head
quarters. It waa after 4 o'clock Wednes
day morning before the crowd thinned out
enough to let thorn in charge of the sheets
get down to work and make any accurate
totals. ,.
As In S nnmher of Instances the count Is
o close those who laid wagers on the re
wtflt will wait until the official count be
fore settling. ,

AT WAR OVER THE BURLINGTON
Hill and llarrlinan TbooRht to Be
Waging nettle for Control
of This Road.
According to some of the best posted
railroad men In Omaha the fight now being
waged between, Hill and Harrlman for the
control of the Northern Pnclflc and Great
Northern has something behind it besides
the ultimate control of one or both of these
two lines by one of the contestants. It Is
believed the real cause of the strife is the
possession of controlling Interest in the
Burlington.
"In case the present plans of the Hill
party are carried out Harrlman will be paid
for his Northern Securities company stock
In both Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, stock," said one official. "This would
not give him a controlling Interest In either
line, but If he can force Hill to turn over
the original stock which he held In the
Northern Paclflo he would have the con
trolling Interest In that line, and as the
stock of the Burlington Is held by both the
Northern Paclflo and Great Northern he
would have at least half the say in Bur
lington affairs. This would enable him to
partially lay out the policy of the rood, and
thereby enable him to make competition
west of the Missouri somewhat easier for
the Union Pacific. That Harrlman will ultl
mately control the Burlington Is believed by
many local railroad men and some of them
are connected with the Burlington system
In case he does secure control of this prop
erty It will probably mean a shaking up
among local officials."

SEASONABLE FASHIONS
CHILD'S DRESS.
No. 4630. In the little princess dress
shown here, we have an original design
that is both quaint and exceedingly child
ish. A very pretty result is obtained by the
use of tucks in sunburst effect In the
upper edge of sleeve and skirt. This edge
just fits the little round yoke In the back
and the princess front, so that the dress
Is very easily made. There are so few
styles for children of this age that any
Innovation in dress Is warmly welcomed.
The dress consists of only five pieces, and
the little princess front affords a place
for a bit of embroidery, although the In
sertion wh'ch outlines the front is really
all the trimming necessary. Any mate
rial that lends Itself to tucks. Is suit
able to the mode.
Three yards of material M Inches wide

Commenting on the recent event at the
University of Chicago, the Legal News
says: "Five University of Chicago young
women captured the coveted Phi Beta
Kappa key as the result of the quarterly
election of the Beta of Illinois chapter
of the fraternity on March IS, 1904. Only
two men succeeded In reaching the re
quired standing of excellence In their
studies during the four years of the uni
versity course, an unusual occurrence at
the Midway school, where It has been
considered next to Impossible for the co
eds to win the golden prize. The success
ful young women are Anna P. Youngman,
Agnes B. McNelsh, Edna Dunlap, Hattle
Palmer and Laura Ward. We congratu
late these five young women upon their
success. Women have come to the front
In literary contests In many of the lead
ing universities of the United States, and
the women of the University of Chicago
are now added to the number. Dr. Harper
must certainly feel proud of his girls. Let
the women enter all the classes of the
university upon the same terms as
men."

JURY FREES THOMASCARTER
Bfaa Aeoused of Robbing- Grocor 1
Morris Goldenberg Is Given I
His Liberty.
Thomas Carter, who has been on trial in
the criminal session of the district court
for the last two days, charged with having
held up Morris Goldenberg in his stora on
the night of February 6 and at the point
of a revolver robbing him of 1200, was
Wednesday acquitted of the charge by the
jury Impaneled In the case. .
Tha crime with which Carter was charged
was peculiarly bold in both its conception
and execution and created considerable
excitement among suburban storekeepers at
the time It was committed. The night on
which It was committed was auspicious
for such an act, aa on account of an acci
dent the street lights were out for several
hours and the street cars did not run for
a like period. The night was very dark,
and toward the close of business two men,
one very tall and the other short, entered
Goldenberg' s store. The lower part of the
face of each was hidden by a handker
chief and each carried a drawn revolver.
They ordered those In the plsce to throw
up their hands, which they promptly did,
and then the robbers went leisurely through
the till, as well as the pockets of the one
or two customers In the place, backed to
tho door and made good their escape.
Goldenberg rushed after them and saw
them with their masks off, but was or
dered back Into his place and a warning1
shot fired at him.
' Carter was arrested In Council Bluffs
soma days after as the i'short robber" and
was positively Identified 'as such , by Gold
enberg and ' the others who saw him on
the night of the robbery. The line ej the
defense adopted by his counsel waa that
the Identification was not complete enough
to warrant a conviction. The police are
authority for the statement that when
captured Carter was clad In prison garb
as to his shoes and underclothing, indicat
ing that he had recently been released
from the penitentiary.
INFATUATION ENDS IN INSANITY
Chicago Girl Creates a, Weird Scene
and Terrifies a Sedate
Unborn. '
Because of an attachment for her curate,
the Rev. Robert Benedict of St. Luke's
Episcopal church, Evanston, Miss Esther
Moline, daughter of Oliver Mollne, 828 Hln
man avenue, a retired capitalist, has been
sent to the detention hospital. There she
will remain until a medical examination
proves or disproves her sanity. -
The story of the woman's mad infatua
tion for her minister dates back several
months. Up to that time she had seen the
Rev. Mr. Benedict day after day and
showed no preference for him. Suddenly
the Infatuation developed, and she publicly
proclaimed her love. Finally her atten
tions became so marked that they annoyed
the curate, and he appealed to her par
ents. Rev. Mr., Benedict refused to discuss tbe
story and declared that he had nothing to
say in regard, to the matter. He Is a mar
ried man.
' Many strange taloa are told of the1 wom
an's actions in regard to her beloved. It
la asserted that . she often went to St.
Luke's church Sundays and would gaze
with admiration at the clergyman. Neither
waa she backward in proclaiming her love.
From being mildly enthuslastlo she became
violent, and the minister despaired of his
safety.
One day recently she arose early In
the morning and declared that as It 'was
leap year she would use her woman's pre
rogative and propose to him. Gotng to a
neighbor's at B o'clock In the morning she
called up the house by telephone and en
deavored to speak with Mr. Benedict, The
clergyman was not at home. Later In the
day she called up again, and waa met with
the same response. She once more called
up the curate in the evening, but he was
still away.
The next day she armed herself with two
revolvers and ran out on Hlnman avenue
with a" revolver In each hand, and caused
a small panic among the neighbors of the
exclusive street.
Previous to this time. It Is asserted, she
endeavored to propose to the object of her
affections, and each time he avoided her.
The parents were appealed to, and as Miss
Mollne had become violent it waa decided
to take her to the detention hospital.
When taken to the hospital the young
woman, insisted that she was not Insane,
and wanted to remain In Evanston. Chi

Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the
responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless
girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day ana night. As she cares for the physical well-being
of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also.
When a young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an
abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society
of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother 'should go to her aid promptly. At such a time
aid nature a little and prepare the young system for the coming change by using .

A medicine that has restored so many women to health and can
produce proof of the fact must be regarded with respect. This is the
record of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which' cannot
be equalled or any other medicine the world has ever produced.
It is well to remember these facts when some drug-gist asks you
to buy something which he says is "just as good." That is impm.
aible, as no other medicine has such a record of cures as Lydia K.
Ptukbam's Vegetable Compound ; so do not experiment with untried
medicines, but insist upon the one you know is beat.
