The only question now In the way la that of dates, which Mr. Savage believes he can arrange so as to have the horse ln Omaha on one of the club's Sat urday afternoon matinees. Speaking of Omaha's Matinee Driving club, Secretary Carr said the other day: We mav reasonably look for Increased in terest in the club this season.

A. to Deride Stats Cbamploaahlp. Monday evening, March 17, at the Audi torium one of the moet Interesting games of basket ball will take place, which will probably be the last big game played In Omaha this season. It will be the first of two games to decide the state cham pionship, the other one taking place March 31 ln Lincoln. The university boys are not large, all medium slsed, but for speed and team work there are very few teams any bet ter, as they have demonstrated In the ma jority of games they have played this season, their greatest victory being per haps in the field of the University of Min nesota, which they beat on their own field two straight games, something that had never been done before, and tn that trip they won every game they played, so they should prove worthy opponents for our local team. The Young Men's Chris tian association team have reason to be proud of their record, their belts being loaded with the scalps of their opponents, having shown their superiority over every team they have playra against this season. The crack teams of the Hawkeys state have fallen victims to their prowess, early in the season they defeating the Young Men's Christian association of Ottumwa, last season's champions, snd on March 10 at the Oiaaha auditorium the Young Men's Christian association giants of Sioux City, this season's champions, so should they prove victorious in the coming struggle with the University of Nebraska, and they feel confident, it will make them the cham pions ot Nebraska and Incidentally carry with It the middle west championship. which the Sioux City Giants have hitherto claimed.

BAKERBROS iSNGRAVINGca 7 7 t n t hi ,. - IV When You Write to Advertisers remember It only takes an extra stroke or two of tha pen to mention the fact that you aw ths ad. in The Bee. On every bottle of Llquozone we offer $1,000 tor a disease germ that It can not kill. We do this to assure you that Llquozone does kill germs. And It 1 the only way known to kill germs In the body without killing the tissues, too. .'Any drug that kills germs Is a poison, and It cannot be taken in ternally. Medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease. It It this fact which gives Llquozone its worth to hu manity; a worth so great that, after testing fhe product for two years, through physicians and hospitals, we paid $100,000 for the American rights. And we bare spent over one million dol lars. In one year, to buy the first bot tle and give it free to each sick one who would try it. Acts Like Oxygen Llquozone is not made by compound ing drugs, nor ie there any alcohol ln It Its virtues are derived solely from gaslargely oxygen gas by a process requiring immense apparatus, and 14 days time. This process has for more than 20 years, been the constant sub ject of scientific and chemical research. The result la a liquid that does what oxygen does. It Is a nerve food and blood food the most helpful thing ln the world to you. Its effects are ex hilarating, vitalising, purifying. Yet It is a germicide, so certain that we publish on every . bottle an offer of $1,000 for a disease germ that it can not kill. The reason is that germs are vegetables; and Llquozone like an ex cess of oxygen is deadly to vegetal matter. Llquozone goes Into the stomach, into the bowels and Into the blood, to go wherever the blood goes. No germ can escape It and none can resist it. The results are inevitable, for a germ dis ease must end when the germs are killed. Then Llquosone, acting as a wonderful tonic, quickly restores a con dition of perfect health. Diseases which have resisted medicine for years yield at once to Llquozone, and It cures dis eases which medicine never cures. Half the people you meet wherever you are can tell you of cures that were made by it. Germ Diseases These are the knows germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are Indi rect and uncertain. Llquozone attacks tho germs wherever they are. And when the germs which cause a disease are destroyed, the disease must end, and forever. That Is Inevitable.

A SOLID ANCHOR LIES TO WINDWARD Balr-Trlgaer Ernptlnni Canaet Oeewr So Leas aa the Katleaal Straetaral BatldJast Trades Alllaaee Lies Qatet, A glance across Omaha's labor firmament at thla Urns shows practically a clear sky, with but a faint misty spot here and there, which will, no doubt, be dissipated when tha trade winds of the spring's building activity shall have begun. Buch Is the general opinion of those In close touch with the organised labor bodies of the city. Particularly Is this true of the build ing trades, the status of which is ot Vital importance to the city at this time In view ot he approaching activity ln the building Una. If the opinions of those Identified with the building trades unions may be taken aa crlteiions, neither the sound of the carpenter's hammer and saw, the move ment of the bricklayer as he rears the building tier by tier, nor the upward climb of tha hod carrier will be stopped in Omaha thla spring for three- months, as it was two years sgo. The storm center In the local labor situation. If there really be a storm center, at present radiates from the Painters' and Paper Hangers' union. As will be recalled, the painters won their fight last year after being out three weeks, the bosses finally agreeing to a minimum wage scale of 40 cents per hour. The wage now runs from 40 to 47V4 cents per hour. The upshot of last year's trouble was the re fusal at first on the part of the master painters to renew the former contract, but which they did sign after a contest and which contract will expire next Satur day. While a slight undercurrent of feeling exists that the masters may not agree to the existing compact for another year, yet the more conservative element believes there will be no hitch when the time comes to agree. "There Is one thing certain," said an officer of the Painters' union, the other day, 'If there is any trouble It will ema nate from the other side of the house." Strikes Not Easily Ordered. If any ono thing will tend to reduce strikes ln Omaha to a minimum and allow them to occur only after long and thorough deliberation. It la the local branch of the National Structural Building Trades' al liance, composed 1 of three delegates from each of the building trades unions, being the carpenters, painters and paper hangers, plasterers, bricklayers, hod carriers, struc tural iron workers, tin, sheetlron and metal workers, lathers, stone cutters and plumb ers snd steam fitters. Any differences af fecting the relations of employed and em ployer ln these branches of Industry are at once to be referred to the local counc'l without any cessation of work until the matter Is settled by the Joint body. Thus the Joint body representing all the build Ing trades unions Is responsible for any strike being called on any particular class of work. This will preclude, labor leaders declare. the possibility of llladvised strikes being called and assure that strikes will be or dered only when the cause is really a just one and after It is fully determined that the matter can not be settled by arbitration. The modus operandi of the local branch of the national structural building trades alliance is to first submit the matter to the council at one of Its fortnightly meetings. Then, If the question can not be settled by that body, the matter Is referred to a local board of governors, composed Of one dele gate from each of the local building tsades unions, the members of the board not Including any who are serving ln the local alliance. Then If the board of gov ernors fall to reach an agreement the mat ter la referred to a final tribunal, the na tional board of the structural building trades unions, the decision of which body is mandatory. The national body is com posed of one representative from each city where a local alliance exists. Carpenters Are Sawing; Wood. "Just now the carpenters are attending to their own business and the contractors to theirs," remarked a member of the local carpenters' union yesterday afternoon. While carpenters in Omaha are receiving generally during the open season 45 cents per hour this wage Is not maintained rigidly during the dull months. There Is no compact between the carpenters and the contractors at present It will be remem bered that the carpenters went out for 60 cents an hour a year ago last May and went back to work for 45 cents, but with no agreement They had been receiving 40 cents. "The present system under which the carpenters of the city are working Is hurt ing the contractors more than It Is the men," said an officer of the carpenters' union. "The strike caused an Influx of cheap workmen and also a class of cheap contractors, the latter hurting tha legiti mate contractors of the city to no small extent. I feel sure that In time the con tractors will see for themselves that to recognise the union will mean money ln their pockets. . I dare say there were be tween 300 and 300 cheap carpenters ln the city last season. They floated ln, saved some money and floated out again, without benefiting the city to any extent. The con tractors have been talking an open shop and sliding scale for years, but will finally see that the Interests of the unions are In part their Interests. At present the car penters of the -city are pursuing the even tenor of their ways. I do not anticipate any trouble this year." There are now about 300 members In the local carpenters' union. May J of each year Is the regular time for the carpenters to go over their trade rules and make changes. Bricklayers Have Good Thing. Bricklayers are getting their minimum of (2 cents per hour. One of the large con tractors Is paying 70 cents to his skilled men now that he may retain them through the season, as a scarcity of unemployed bricklayers is anticipated hers soon on ac count of the activity ln building construc tion. So the bricklayers' union haa noth ing but sweet things to say at present on the labor situation. The plumbers' union is as strong as ever snd controls the situation. Both the Jour neyman and master plumbers have been too busy the last week counting money to talk of any labor trouble that might occur In their midst. The stonecutters are receiving SO cents per hour and feel that all Is serene with them for the present. The plasterers, lathers, hodcarriers and the others express the1 unanimous opinion that no labor trouble of any moment will occur ln Omaha this sea son. Louis V. Guye, president of the Central Labor union, says: "So far as I am able to Judge the local situation the prospects never were brighter for smooth sailing In the labor world than this season. Of course, one cannot foretell what eventu alitles may arise to change the phase of thing There are now about 15,000 per sons In Omaha's organised labor today, The - Centred unloa represents fifty-two nlons." $425 Emerson, COQfl Reduced to V WW SECOND WEEK OF GREAT PIANO SALE No such price cutting on standard pianos of recognized hlgheaa grade was ever even attempted la the west.
