DISCLOSURES FOLLOW BUTTER EXPOSURE
General ' Banishment of Prepared
f4 Irdaeta Frmled II
Propoaed Ordlaaaca la
faxel by CoanelU
Th ,'afftatlon started In tha city legal
department about short weight butter In
package hat caused tha drafting of a pro
posed ordinance which foodstuffs mer
shants declare will drlva nearly all the
eatable sold in package, bags, buxea and
eana off trie market fn this city. The
measura would make It unlawful for any
on to Bell, offer or keep for sale any
produce, grain, butter, lard or groceries
In packages, cans, bags or boxea where
tha sant can be conveniently sold by
weight or measure unless the net weight
or measure la stamped on tha exterior.
Both the employer and employe come
under the scope of the prohibition and
the penalty Is a fine not exceeding $100
tor each misdemeanor.
When the butter manufacturers heard
that an ordinance was to be Introduced
forbidding the sale of their product unless
t had stamped on tha wrapping the weight
f goods It contained, they awooped down
on the city hall with indignation In their
voices and arguments in their heads. Hut
as soon as they glanced over the brief
rdlnance which had been prepared they
jnoled down rapidly and began to feel
positively happy.
Malta tha Batter Men
"That's Just what we were going to Bay,"
they remarked. "That Is, if wo have to
tamp the weight on the package so should
tvery other manufacturer of products sold
in packages. Do this and you will
catch the packing houses for their
lard In pulls Is under weight;
the flour mills, for there Is only forty
eight pounds In a fifty-pound sack; the
breakfast food people and fancy grocery
manufacturers fend dealers of all kinds.
Tou will find by Investigation that no
package stuff supposed to hold a pound
contains a pound, because the expense of
putting up the goods haa to be made up
soma way. Thla may apply, also, to canned
goods. No manufacturer stamps hla prod
uct got out thla way and he will hardly
feel like doing bo expresaly for the city
of Omaha, ' increasing the amounts In the
package and tho price for the same. But
U you are going to have the butter
tamped, by all means have everything
else stamped and make all amenable to
tha short-weight lawa."
The ordinance has not been Introduced,
but when It la, powerful opposition is prom
ised from tha wholesale grocery houses,
manufacturers and others. The lawyers
who prepared it do not think It will ever
become a law.
AT THE PLAY ROUSES.
"Sweet Clover" at the Krai.
"Sweet Clover" is one of the wholesome
sort of playa. It has a pretty story told In
a rational way, and ft about with the In
cidents that bring about a pleasant under
standing of Its nature. It has the heart
Interest, but In a way that appeals to the
deeper emotions, and sufficient comedy to
make It most enjoyable. The piece U too
well known In Omaha to call for an ex
tended explanation. Otis B. Thayer Is still
giving his well known Impersonation of the
old grandfather, while Miss Detrude Bond
hill is most attractive In tha character of
Lois Holcombe, "Sweet Clover." The com
pany generally Is good, and the piece Is
moot satisfactorily presented. The audi
ence at the Krug last night gave it most
cordial welcome, and apparently enjoyed
Its every moment. The piece will remain
the rest of the week, with a matinee on
Saturday.

0LICE SEARCH FOR WOMAN
Disappears After a Quarrel with Her
Hasband and Neighbors Are
Alarmed.
Mrs. Dick Iieavey, sa a result of a
uarrel with her husband during the aft
ernoon, left her home at Seventh and
Dorcas streets. Just as the evening waa
beginning to grow dark Wedneeday night.
Mrs. Leavey took with her the younger
of two small children, leaving the older
with her husband. Mrs. Leavey hits not
been seen since the time she left the
home "Wednesday night and the neighbors
believe she has made away with herself.
Mr. Leavey was not to be seen last
evening. He left soon after the wife and
as not been back to thehou-e since, al
though he Is known to have been in the
city nearly all the day.
It appears Leavey and his wife had a
quarrel and the wife said she would stand
It no longer. Taking the smaller of the
two children she told her husband they
must separate. She would take one of
the children and would leave the other
for him, but live with him longer she
could not and would not. According to
the' neighbors, Leavey then told his wife
she had better go and drown herself. The
woman replied that perhaps she would.
She then left the house and waa seen bv
a neighbor woman to go north towarda
the car line. Since that time, so far as
the police were able to learn last evening,
the woman has not been seen.
Frlenda of the woman knowing she was
Imost an titter stranger In the city and
thinking she - had no relatives near
searched high and low, but could find no
trace of her. Lnte Thursday evening they
notified the police of the affair and asked
them to try and locate Mrs. Leavey, as
they feared she hnd committed suicide.
Several dotectlves were at once detailed
on the cae, but up to an early hour this
morning had been able to learn nothing
further than has already been told, ex
cept that the woman had a brother liv
ing In tho city by the name of MoGuire.
McGulre's first name and address are not
known at present, but It Is expected this
will bo ascertained In the morning.
At first the police leaned to the theory
the woman had committed suicide because
of the answer she ' made the husband
when he advised her to go drown herself.
When they learned she had a brother In
the city they were Inclined to believe she
had gone to him in her time of trouble
and need, as the natural Impulse of a
woman In trouble la to go to her home or,
If she has no home, to go to her nearest
relative, which In this case happened to
be the woman's brothei".
Just three more performances of the
big Orpheum road show remain to be
given down at the Orpheum, and, as the
entire theater has been sold out at every
performance thus fur, those who want
seats will do well to engage them early,
This show has scored one of the biggest
hits ever made at the popular vaudeville
house. Mclntyre and Heath changed their
act yesterday and their famous old favor
ite, "The Georgia Minstrels," will be kept
on for the remainder ' of the week.

MAY WHEAT IS INTERESTING
Omaha lolders Not Geared by Slump in
Chicago Prioss.
MARKET SHOWS PECULIAR CONDITIONS
Those Who Have the Grain
Stored Away Are Sanguine ot
Even Higher Flgares, While
Others Art Pessimistic.
Omaha grain speculators who are long on
the wheat are not very communicative Just
now, but it is needless to say they are
holding on, for the May wheat Is now
lower, or waa Wednesday, than most of
them bought It. Sunderland A Updike
are understood to have quite a little bit
of May wheat laid away, but must of the
Omaha trade has been afraid of the con
gested market and as a general rule has
invested In July wheat or corn. For this
reason there Is not any very noticeable
flutter locally over the fluttering In the
Chicago wheat pit. Those who are long on
the May, however, profess to be unshaken
In their beliot that th market will rally
and in the next sixty days reach points
higher than anything the present crop has
seen. So they are holding their wheat.
The general sentiment Is inclined to be
pessimistic. The market, it Is considered.
depends largely on whether John W. Gates
and his companions in the east have found
it wise to slip out of their holdings and
abandon the deal, or are only causing
heavy fluctuations In the market as an
incidental to their campaign.
There is a sharp divergence In opinion
among the wheat experts as to whether or
not the shortage exists on which the pres
ent market has been worked so high. In
one quarter It waa figured the present crop
only falls 16,000,000 bushels below the stocks
of wheat at this time last year. Othet
statisticians figure that the northwest has
very little wheat left. The visible supply
continues to decrease each week, but tha
primary receipts, especially in the north
west, do not show any material decrease
from last year. The government reports
tend to show the winter wheat crop plant
la In good condition In the greater part of
the belt, but thla wheat will not be har
vested In time to enter the May delivery
proposition.
UNIQUE PLAN TO RAISE MONEY
Works at First, bat Finally Lands
the Party Who Practices It
In Jail.
A new and unique method of obtain
ing money without having to work for It
was brought to the attention of the police
yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Grace Spen
cer, who lives at 1613 Howard street, was
arrested at the Boston store. . It appears
that Grace Spencer, aa she Is popularly
known, haa been writing notes to prominent
business men of Omaha for the past few
days asking them to send her money and
then signing the name of some well known
woman. Wednesday she sent several notes
to business men of the city from Ben
nett's.' ghe would write the note and call
a messenger boy and instruct him to wait
for an answer and then if the party to
whom the request was made was willing
to lend her the money he would send it
by the messenger boy. All of the notes
written Wednesday and the one which led
to her capture yesterday afternoon were
signed with the name of Mrs. Dr. Helen D.
Wormsley.
Of all the requests for money made
Wednesday but one Is known to have
brought results. She sent one request to
Sunderland brothers asking them to send
her $23,' as she needed the money and
Would return it In a day or so. One of the
Arm received the note and sent the $25,
which Grace Spenoer at once spent for a
new hat and dress.
Yesterday afternoon she sent .a note to
Reynolda Over, a -bookkeeper In the dry
gooda department at Bennett's, and asked
him to send her (10, as she was in frnme
dlate need of that sum of money and
would, return It early Friday morning. The
note did not read good to Mr. Reynolds
Over and he notified the police anffCap-
tain Haze at once went to the Boston
store, where he found the woman awaiting
the return of the messenger boy. When
placed under arrest she denied that she
was the woman, but later at the station
admitted' she had written the notes and
signed the name of Mrs. Dr. Wormsley,

SOME SECRETS OF
PATENT MEDICINES.
The Origin of Some of the
' Famous Medicines.
TF we could trace the origin of the
many thincs which enter into our
daily life we doubtless would ba-
greatly surprised at what we wouia
learn. In some instances we would
find their beginning in mere accident.
In other cases we would find that they
originated in some stroke of genius.
For instance, Comlcy'a History of New
York State states that :
"Of the men who have given wealth,
stamina and character to the Empire
State, the medical profession has fur
nished example in the successful and
Iustly celebrated phvsician, Dr. It. V.
'ierce, of Buffalo, "N. Y. Especially
educated for the profession, he early
upplemented his studies by extensive
and original research in ita several de
partments. Devoting his attention to
certain specialties of the science he haa
ao carefully investigated, he haa been
rewarded in a remarkable degree. That
his success is real is evidenced by the
fact that his reputation as a man and a
physician does not deteriorate, and the
tact that there is a steady increasing
demand for his medicines proves that
they are not nostrums, but reliable
remedies for disease." Dr. Pierce's
establishment at Buffalo ia one of the
show points of that flourishing city and
is well worth a visit just to see how
modern medicines,' even thongh they
be patent, are compounded with the
, utmost skill, by trained chemists, and
on the most scientific principles. It is
also worth while for the purpose of
seeing the methods followed by which
each applicant, whether he "be a cor
respondent or a patient at the hospital,
secures the care of eminent specialists
in medicines and surgery. Once these
things are seen, it will be speedily ac
knowledged by the most skeptical that
all patent medicine businesses are not
the frauds which some careless papers
have declared them to be.
Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Discov
ery is a pure medicine, made from
barks, leaves and roots of plants and
trees indigenous to America. It is a
rpmedv without alcohol or anv noison
ous ingredient and taken from the sylvan
forests. It haa stood the test of the
tmblic'a annroval for the last third of a
century; For purifying the blood it
has '.no equal lor positiveness and
safety. H is most eilective for a
chronic cough, as it has a soothing
effect upon the mucous membrane of
the tnroal so tnat a cough is Bmootnea
out uiiu ni win BBiue iiuiu me uiuou
vessels are given a stimulation which
' throws off a cold, bronchitis or incipi
ent consumption. Really a cold is
' nothing but the stagnation of the blood
vessel of the human system. - If people
want to remain strong and healthy they
should see that their kidneys are active.
The medicinal value of one plant which
makes up a part of this good old
remedy,. the "Discovery,"-, is the posi
tive action it has upon the kidneys.
Many hundreds of testimonials nava
been received by Dr. Tierce from Miosa
Seople who have suffered from kidney
isease and have been cured b the usa
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery '
cured me of rheumatism after I hi i
tried a doeen remedies without relief
and also pone, West in search of
health," writes Harry Kilter, of 1645
6th Street, Denver, Colt. "Only those
who have sunned, with tins dread
malady know the pain and misery I
endured for over live years. Whenever
the weather was damp or cold my
troubles were increased and my joints
would be ao stiff and sore that I was
hardly able to move about and often
unabfe to dress myself. I used a num
ber o! highly recommended medicines,
but they had no effect whatever on me,
and I came to Colorado hoping to re
gain my health, but failed to obtain tha
relief I had hoped for. A gentlemen
in the house where I lived advised me
to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and in four months and a
half after I began using it I was a well
man, and have had no touch of it for
the past seven months."
The most precious possession on earth
is perfect health. It is the ground
work of all prosperity in life j and few
people grudge any reasonable expendi
ture which w ill be the means of restor
ing it; but one of the most disheartening
things in the world is for any one who
works hard for- his money to keep pay
ing it out for doctors and medicinea
that Ao no earthly good. It ia like
throwing it into the Fire.
The "Golden Medical Discovery " ia a
medicine that Will help you no matter
what ails you. This ia true because it
works directly at tha root of all disease
the' digestive system, the blood, the
nerves, the liver and kidneya. . Keep
these in healthy condition and )ou
cannot be sick.
Many of the enrea of the "Golden
Medical Discovery " seem almost mirac
ulous. Ita effect is almost immediate.
It takes hold at once. It tones up the
stomach, invigorates the liver, regulates
the bowels.
It gets right in the blood and carries
strength and comfort to every fiber of
the body. It nourishes and invigorates
the weakened, irritated nerves and puts
the entire svsteru in perfect tune.
It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults
safe for children. It contains no
sugar, syrup, whisky, alcohol or dan
geroua opiates. Therefore, it does not
create a craving for stimulants. It ia
distinctly a temperance medicine.
If a medicine dealer tries to substitute
some other preparation when vou ask
I for "Golden Medical Discovery "look
out lor him. lie is either ignorant or
dishonest and you can't trust him.
