tha bonds retired. The recapitulation shows
that the school board haa placed 1:55.487.42
tnnH In the fund, which the treasurer has
caused to earn a net interest of I30.W1.B5.
The statement was made on March 1, or
before 147,548.97 was Invested In S per cent
bonds maturing: in If, by which transac
tion mora than 12,800 whs earned by re
tiring these bonds. Minus this Isst trans
action bonds to the fsce value of tJ2R.i)J0
Were purchased, the premiums costing
lO.Stt.M and the accrued interest 11,064.8:.

what bonds were purchased with the money
In the bond -redemption fund Is attached
to the exhibit. The recapitulation is as
follows:

trict. The bonded indebtedness of the dig-,
trlct Is as follows:

Bros., Hankers, New York City. N. V.:
1tl ait' 1 luba tha 1 1 1 ..... , .-. ..-I. m,m, a
favor; as treasurer of the School District of
Omaha I have charge of the investment of
funds of the school redemption nccount.
I'nder our law funds must be Invested In
londs of Omaha school district, bonds of
the city of Omaha, county of Douglas or
-t'nltcd States bonds. 1 have done the best
I knew how under these restrictions and
would asl' you to go . carefully over the
! inr IMIH1K nn nnijnpir, uiiu 10 Hive nie
your honest opinion of the result.
The folloming. 1 think, should be taken
Jn consideration; "$250,000, twenty-yeat, 4
per' cent Omaha school bonds, dated Jan
nary 1, 1899, brought a premium of $21,275,
and therefore the school district Is paying
only 1.43 per cent on this Issue, of which
1 have purchased, aa you will notice, twenty
$1,000 bonds."
1 have heard repeatedly of some criticism
as to the result accomplished and Intend
to furnish each member of the board with
a copy of the statement enclosed. The
next meeting of the board will be held
March 6, and for thla reason would thank
you to furnlh me mith vour opinion as
soon as possible. Respectfull

ITennlng". City Treasurer, Omahs. Neb:
Dear Sir We have your favor of the 17th.
together with the rhedu ef Imnds pur
chased for the school redemption account,
which we have gone over with considerable
cars. While vou have purchased ten bonds
on about a .V basis, and forty on a i.to.
the bulk of your Investments show much
better returns, about seventy being on a
8.5 ba'l and seventy-seven on a lift basis.
The average, we believe. In n little over a
8 Wi basis, and we think you are to be con
gratulated in showing so favorable results
and keeping your funds so well Invested
with little joes of interest on Idle money,
under the severe restrictions Imposed by
your law. W do not think that any Just
criticism can attach to you In this respect,
but rathet to the absurd law whirh ne
cessitated youi either keeping funds Idle
until the few authorised bonds are offered
at reasonable prices, or. to bid such high
prices for Hie bonds as to induce those
who have previously purchased them to sell
them to vou at a very large profit to them
selves We would suggest that the law
be so amended as to iiermlt your invest
ment In anv bonds legal for New England
savings banks. There are always plenty
of such securities offered, yielding from
i to 4 per cent. Respectfully yours.

Kltnatlna Absorbs At-teatton.
ST. rETERSBt'RO. March 5.-2:28 ft. m
The Imperial rescript has been well received
and the liberals generally are willing to
wait and give the government a chance to
formulate reform measures. In the absence
of knowledge of details or of the extent to
which the reforms will extend, they are
not declaring themselves positively either
for or against the rescript. The more rad
ical ff the worklngmen. however, under
the Influence of socialist leaders, are far
from pacified and a general strike may be
declared March 6 or 7. The moderate fac
tion of the workmen is averse to striking
and orders to strike would be a test of
strength of the prevent leiders.
There were no disorders In St. Peters
burg yesterday and no trouble Is expected
today. Work has now ceased In eighty
three factories and M.fiM men are Idle. Sev
eral newspapers will not publish today.
War Detracts from Home Affaire.
The absorbing topic of conversntlon In St.
Petersburg yesterday wss the critical con
dition of Oenernl Kouropatkln's army and
the complete absence of any nems of the
results of Saturday's fighting, especially as
to the outcome of the expected renewal or
the battle southwest of Mukden.
The most startling rumors afloat bad their
origin on the Bourse. According to these,
Field Marshal Oyama had cut General
Kouropatkln's Hrmy in two, but dispatches
from the front reported comparative quiet
on the renter during the day and did not In
dicate a movement there of this Importance.
The situation, however, Is sufficiently peril
ous. During the fighting at Sanlinpou on Fri
day the Russians were passing only a
division and a half of the four Japanese
divisions in the I.lao river valley and with
the utmost difficulty repulsed these. Cor
respondents telegraphing Friday at mid
night prophesied a renewal of the fight
Saturday morning against a reinforcement
of the Japanese army. The war office Is
guarding well the secret of the outcome
of the fight and no dispatches, official or
otherwise, were permitted to pass Satur
day. The general stnff declines to Bay
whether General Kouropatkln Is standing
his ground or If he Is already retiring. An
Important council of war was held here
Friday and another will take place today
which Indicates the gravity of the situa
tion. Current gossip Is to the effect that Gen
eral Kouropatkln's position was one of
the reasons for the Issuance by the em
peror of the rescript.
In military circles It is believed that the
landing of Japanese forces north of Corea
and the movements of the mysterious fly
ing columns outside the extreme Russian
left may be the initial movements of a
campaign against Vladivostok.
Kitra Precaution In Warsaw.
WARSAW, March 5.-12:03 a. m.-The city
was quiet last night. The police made
many arrests and the patrols stopped pe
destrians, searched them and took away
their wnlklng canes. All the government
buildings are guarded.
The workmen In nearly all the sugar fac
tories In Poland struck again on March
3. The situation at Sosnovlce has hot
Improved, but the district is quiet and
there Is evidence that the strikes are end
ing. LODZ. March 4. The town remains quiet,

AM
I announce to the world that I have an
absolute cure for drunkenness in anv form
In White Ribbon Remedy, based on thou
sands of cures made of the most obstinate
esses, after taking White Ribbon Remedy.
By degrees the patient gets a distaste for
Intoxicants atid finally leaves off altogether.
It is wonderful. Many a hard drinker has
thus been reclaimed by White Ribbon Rem
edy and restored to his family and friends.
White Ribbon Is easily and secretly given
to anyone without their knowledge by fol
lowing the simple directions. It Is taste
less, odorless and perfectly safe to take.
White Ribbon Remedy will cursor destroy
the diseased appetite for all alcoholic
drinks, whether the patient is a confirmed
Inebriate, s "tippler," social drinker or
drunkard. Impossible for anyone to have
an appetite for alcoholic liquors after ualng
White Ribbon Remedy. It restores the vic
tim to normal health, giving him or her
steady nerves and a determination to resist
temptation.
This Remedy for Drunkenness is
Indorsed by Members of a
Woman's Christian Tern
pc ranee Union.
Mrs. Anna Moore, press superintendent ui
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
Los Angeles. Cel.. states: ''1 have tested
.Whits Ribbon Remedy on very obstinate
drunkards, and the cures have been many.
In most cases the remedy was given with
out the patient's knowledge. I cheerfully
recommend and advise to give It to any
relative Buffering from drunkenness. Mem
bers of our union sre delighted to find a
practical and economical treatment which
ran be recommended as safe, sure, secretly
and safely given."
Recommended by Hundreds of Women Whose Dear
Ones Hnve Been Cured by White Ribbon Remedy
Indor e ' by Clergymeu, Physicians and Lovers
of Temperance Everywhere.
Whits Ribbon Remedy does Its work so surely and swiftly that while the devoted
wife, slater or mother looka on, ths drunkard Is cured evea against his will. I advise
everyone who has a loved one who la a slave to the drink evil to give them White Rib
bon Remedy at once.

Nature's Tonic for Women
816 Wells St., Marinette, Wis., Sept. 25, 1903.
I was all run down from nervousness and overwork and had to resign ray position and take a rest. I
found that I was not gaining my strength and health as fast as I could wish, and as your Wine of Cardui
was recommended as such a good medicine for the ills of our sex, I bought a bottle and began using
it. I was satisfied with the results trom tee use or tne nrti
bottle, and took three more and then found I was reetored to good
health and strength and able to take up my work with renewed
vigor. 1 consider it a fine tonic and excellent for worn-out nervous
inititinn and am nlffg to endorse it.
r SCBBTABT, HOSTS' WISOOIfSIH BOLLARD SOCISTT
When a woman is all run down tbe trouble can not be localized In a single symptom.
Because too much dependence is put on a single symptom is the cause of thero being so much
unsuccessful treatment today. There is always a cause back of an effect.
Disordered menstruation causes neatly nil of the sickness from which women suffer, and
female weakness causes stomach trouble, nervousness, constipation, headache, liver trouble and
the long list of ailments.
Thorough' treatment is necessary for a woman who is 'all run down." The most thorough
treatment Is Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black-Draught. Wine of Cardui cures the ailments
of womanhood. Thedford's Black-Draught, in invigorating the stomach and regulating the bowels
and liver are tonics so thorough in their result that the system is entirclv rejuvenated.
These medicines are truly Nature's tonics, as meu and w omen who have used them never
fail to bear witness to their virtues. Miss Westley's letter has a message for every sufferer today.
Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wino of Cardui and a 5c. package of Thedford's Black
Draught from your druggist today.
