MAE WOOD IS AFTER PLATT
Fonner Omaha Girl Wanta More of Kew
Tork Senator" Money.
REVIVES HER BREACH Of PROMISE CLAIM
latest Btorr Come from Richmond,
Whrnrt Promise ( Racy
. Letters Evidence l
Rew Salt.
Chicago papers contain dispatches from
Iihmond, Va.. to the effect that Miss Mae
Catherine Wood, formerly of Omaha, who
a a clerk In the Postofflce department at
Washington undertook to block the mar
riage of Senator T. C. Tlatt of New Tork.
. has taken steps to reopen the affair by
bringing ault agalnat the senator for breach
of promise. The documents In the cane,
consisting of love letters signed by Piatt,
are promised this time and a conspiracy
between certain government officials at
Wushlngton and certain lawyers In New
York is alleged In connection with the re
puted "settlement" of two years ago.
Washington advices add that the renewed
effort to levy tax on I'nlted States Senator
Thomas C. Piatt for his alleged lovemaklng
prior to his marriage to Mrs. Lillian Jane
way has caused little astonishment there
because It was popularly rumored at the
time of Miss Wood s first attempt that she
was far from satisfied with the result.
Seven thousand dollars was the largest
sum ever quoted by any one In a position
to know the detail of Mlsa Wood'a re
markable venture.
In CloTer After First Settlement.
Immediately after the settlement In New
York the fair plaintiff came here, resigned
her $1,600 a year position In the postofflce
and rented an entire suite of apartments at
a fashionable hotel, where she lived royally
for at least six months. Then, according
to the hotel people, she was heavily In debt
and ordered her bills sent to Senator Piatt.
Miss Wood explained that the senator was
her business manager and had some money
In trust for her. As the venerable New
Yorker promptly refused to honor the bills
Miss Wood was requested to leave the
hotel. She then left Washington -and her
later movements have not been known. It
Is said, however, . that all her debts were
paid, but whether by herself or by the order
of Senator Plntt does not appear to be
c!ear.
Hints of the Kvldence.
Ml.s Wood'a Washington career was In
teresting and varied. She came about four
years ago and was detailed from the New
York City postofflce. From the beginning
she talked freely of Senator Piatt and
stated he had obtained her a position In
New York and had manipulated her trans
fer. ' She received many letters from the
senator and sometimes read them to her
fellow clerks. ' She never hesitated to show
presents which the New York statesman
gave her. She spent money liberally and
gave generous tips to messengers and acted
like one for whom cash was plentiful. In
the spring of 1903 she told her fellow clerks
she was going to Europe to purchase her
trousseau, and after three months' absence
returned with fine raiment by the trunkful.
During all this time rumors constantly
Increased of the engagement between Sena
tor Piatt and Mrs.' Janeway. Finally the
engagement was formally announced and
the wedding day set.
This was Just before Miss Wood landed
In New York. When she heard of the en
gagement in Washington she made things
lively around the Postofflce department.
Three days later Miss Wood returned to
New York, where she settled matters with
Senator Piatt. ..-
Mae Wood Is remembered In Omaha as a
young woman who essayed to practice law
here In the middle '90s. For a while she
was attached to the law office of Greene,
Breckinridge & Baxter. '
SPORTS CF A SAY.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How t'seful It la In
Preserving Health and Beauty,
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realize Its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities
always present in the stomach and Intes
tines and carries them out of the system.
' Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions' and
other odoroua vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of calarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal
and th. moat for the money Is in Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather In the form of large, pleasanf
tasting loiewtes. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It la, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit,
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "i advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients
Suffering from gas In stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
tho liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and although la
some tense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get mors and better charcoal In
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges than In any of
the ordinary charcoal tablets."

Selections of Committee Snlt Mem
bers and Slate la Accepted With
out Dissent Lincoln ext
Meet Ins; Place.
Wax tapers were t-xiingulshed in the
steel ranges last evening, gasoline names
were put out, Japanese transparencies were
torn down and the Nebraska Retail Hard
ware Dealers' association adjourned to
meet next year at Lincoln. The convention
finished Its work by 6 o'clock, but It had
to hustle. An effort was made In the after
noon to hold an evening session, but the
majority of the members were opposed to
the plan. They believed matters could be
expedited so that those at the meeting
could get through and go home. Before
8 o'clock some of the uVlegates were al
ready homeward bound. Une of the last
functions of tho afternoon was the elec
tion of officers for the tnsulng year. A
committee was nppolnted early In the
afternoon to draw up a slate, and the slate
went through without a hitch or a change.
The officers put In nomination had the
unanimous approval of the convention and
they were elected. They are:
President Max Uhllg of Holdrege.
First Vice President Albeit Degner of
Norfolk.
Second Vice President Frank Hacker of
Fremont.
Third Vice President M. A. Hargelrode
of Holstein.
Treaxurer H. J. Hnll of Lincoln.

Lincoln and after the transaction of some
minor business the convention, adjourned.
Catalogue llonaes Mnat Go.
Retail hardware dealers will hereafter
fight enemies ot iy' trade to a finish and
use the enemy's on weapons. This was
the most important uctlon taken by the
Nebraska Hardware Dealers' association at
their1 morning session. It Is the most im
portant action tuken by the association
since Its organization four years ago. It
means that thu retuil dealers of this state
propose, hereafter, to keep their batteries
trained on the "catalogue house" and the
department stores, with which the retailer
alleges he Is thrown Into unfair competi
tion. As described by one of the members of
the association, the catalogue house is a
firm which reaches the customer through
the malls. The house does not carry
standard goods. It does not even have
a stock of goods to select from. The
firm usually has a carpeted office in the
heart of the city and keeps several shrewd
buyers on its pay roll. When an order
comes In from the country for a saw, a
file, a hammer, hatchet, or any of the
other numerous articles so lndispenslble
around the house and the farm of tho
handy man, the catalogue house sends one
of ltd buyers to a Jobber and fills tho
order. As cash always accompanies the
oidtv from the country, the catalogue
house Is enabled to pay cash for what it
gets.
Debate Was General.
This question absorbed the attention of
the members nearly the entire morning.
An executive session was held and the
topic was brought up as the result of the
discussion led by W. S. Wright of Omaha,
entitled "The Relation of Jobbers and
Traveling Men to the Retail Association."
The discussion was entered Into with spirit
by the members. The interest manifested
proved that each one present felt a per
sonal concern In the question. Suggestions
as to how to combat the catalogue house
were fast and furious. Every one at tho
meeting hud a suggestion to offer. Some
had two or three plans for getting Back at
the catalogue house and at times several of
the members wanted to talk at the same
time. As there were fully 200 people at
the meeting. Interest never flagged.
On one point the members all agreed.
They are unanimously m favor of putting
up a fight. The plan which finally found
most favor and was adopted was to meet
the prices of the catalogue houses. After
the catalogue houses were disposed of, the
department stores were taken up. It was
determined to meet the latter on their own
ground. It was agreed by the members
with few dissenting voices that hereafter,
when the department stores make a leader
of anything pertaining to hardware, the
dealers will advertise their wares at the
same prices.'
Papers for the- Morning:.
Three addresses were down Tor thu morn
ing but two of them had to be cut out of
the program because the time was absorbed
by the discussions. F. D. Kees of Beatrice
delivered his address on "A Retail Dealer's
Experience In Manufacturing." He proved
that he has been so successful that he Is
going to sell tbe store and devote his
entire time to the factory. The question
box was opened and some ot them were
like fuel to the excltment of the morning.
The questions were not opened until after
noon but the Interest they aroused leaped
through the hall like an electric flame and
kept the Interest red hot.
Parcels Post Proposition.
One of the most Important questions
taken up during the ufternoon was the
parcels-post delivery proposition. M. F.
Corry led the discussion, and It aroused
the deepest Interest. The hardware dealer
see Jh the post parcel delivery another
menace to their Interests and they will
fight the proposition. Each member of the
association was urged to write to his con
gressman Individually, and action will also
be taken by the association as a body. The
proposition will be fought In a systematic
manner. '
One of the last addresses of the after
noon was delivered by M. L. Hamilton,
editor of the Iron Age. "There Is a tend
ency to broaden the field ' on hardware
lines," he said. "It has become necessary
to make up In volume the diminishing
profits caused by fierce competition. The
department store has made some Inroads
on special lines, but It Is a reversion to
type. There was a time when the country
store carried everything. The department
store Is the evolution of the country store.
Tendency Towards Ills; Thluas.
'"There Is today a tendency toward large
establishments. The manufacturing plants
and the great Jobbing house are growing
larger. Their growth la accompanied by
the disappearance of the smaller Jobbing
houses. It la becoming more difficult for
the small merchant to hold his own. If
you afce doing a small business It Is your
duty to use every means to make that
business larger. There has been a time
when the Jobbing houses were simply re
tailers. The Jobber should have day dreams
of a better business and see that they are
realised.
"The best reward for work well done Is
more work to do. Let me see where have
I gotten to." remarked the speaker at one
time during a moment's deliberation. There
was a round of applause, and he added,
"I suppose I should have said where am
I at. tLaughter.) In the east we are sad
dened by the disappearance of the small
stores. It la pathetic. But above It all I
see a tendency toward greater alertness.
Business men show mure enterprise than
formerly. Men are not satisfied to carry
on the business as their fathers did. They
are broadening. 'They are branching out.
I charge you give this catalogue bouse
business your personal attention. Support
the association In Its fight. Don't resort
to boycott. In such a course there Is a new
and ominous danger, for the catalogue
house Is becoming powerful enough. If
rressed too hard, to become manufacturer.
We want positive action. The spirit of
fraternity here should he carried a little
farther. There ought to be united action
on the part of the hardware dealer, the
clothing merchant, the dry goods merchant
and the other mercantile Interests of your
community. Every farmer who buys of
the catalogue house should be listed snd
the missionary work should begin with
him."

Ars;nnienta In Hearst Case.
The arguments In the case of William
R. Hearst of New York against the an
thracite coal carrying railroads were con
tinued today before the Interstate Com
merce commission. Attorney Shearn for
the complainant occupied the entire day.
Mr. S.hearn contended that between 1X97
and 1303 these roads had departed from
the published tariffs and had Imposed dis
criminating rates. As an Instance he re
ferred to the case of John C. Haddock, an
Independent operator. Mr. Shearn said
thtt the purchasing contracts were really
contracts for rates and said that by means
of the difference between the actual and
published rates Huddock had sustained a
loss of $800,000 by this discrimination, for
cing his company Into receivership. W. W.
Boas, counsel for the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western railroad, admitted that
It had paid Haddock $125,000, which Mr.
Shearn Immediately contended was a rec
ognition of the validity of his contention
of discrimination. Mr. Shearn said the
object of the present proceedings wna only
one step Ir the complainant's fight against
the monopoly. The hearing was adjourned
until tomorrow, when Mr. Shearn will
conclude his argument and representatives
of the railroad companies will speak.
Remains of John Paul Jones.
Ambassador Porter has some reason to
believe that he has at last discovered the
remains of John Paul Jones. About four
years ago he secured a clew which Indi
cated that the remains of John Paul Jones,
who died in Paris, had been Interred In a
small urban cemetery, but a search for this
cemetery disclosed the fact that It had
been abandoned early In the lart century
and that 1th site was covered with build
ings, leaving little hope that any remains
of corpses Interred there could be found.
Mr. Porter, however, thinks otherwise,
pointing out that the American sailor was
burled In a lead coffin, a very unusual
means of Interment at that date nnd one
likely to preserve the body In fair condi
tion for nn Indefinite period. It Is true that
Jones by bequeathing to friends and Imme
diate attendants upon his deathbed his
sword, his medals and Jewelry, which other
wise would have been found In his coffin,
has iidded to the difficulty of identification,
but Mr. Porter feels that the hermetically
sealed coffin, If found, will still contain suf
flcent, evidence of the Identity of Its occu
pant. The ambassador has suggested to the
president that to defray the cost of search
ing for the remains congress be asked to
appropriate a fund of $35,000, and the presi
dent. It Is believed, will approve this rec
ommendation. Letter Carriers and Mnchen.
Postmaster General Wynne has ordered
an investigation of the incident that re
curred at the railroad station here yester
day, when a carrier said to August W.
Machen, on the latter's departure for the
penitentiary, that the latter had the sym
pathy of a large number of free delivery
letter carriers. The postmaster general
feels that the sentiment does not represent
the sentiment of that branch and that the
employes have no sympathy for Machen.

STATEHOOD BILL I TUB HOISB
Indications that Senate Amendments
Will lie Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-The statehood
bill as It passed the senate did not reach
the house today as was expected. Never
theless there has been lively work In that
body on the part of the friends and oppo
nents of the measure In Its new form.
When the bUI Is received It will be referred
to the committee on territories. There
Is little doubt that this committee will ask
for a conference. Should this occur, the
advocates of the measure In Its present
form will demanl a vote on a motion to
concur In all of the senate amendments.
It Is understood the democrats of the house
will support this motion and the claim Is
made tonight that at least twenty-seven
republicans have been secured to support
It also. This would Insure the concur
rency so that the remaining step In the
statehood plan would simply be the algna
ture of the president to make the bill a
law.
ALBUQl'ERQUE, Feb. 8. Great enthu
slnsni prevails In this city and all over

state. Huge mass meetings and Jollifica
tions were held tonight here and In other
New Mexican cities and the passage of the
bill la everywhere hailed as the advent
of a new era for this territory.
