Four Facts For
Sick Women
To Considet
Lydia E. Pink horn's Vegetable Compound
Has an Unequalled Recotd of Cures
Mrs. 1inkh,am's Advice Is Confiden
tial, Free, and always Helpful
,1
Fijut. That almost every operation
in oar hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leuoorrhoea,
'displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism aa
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter
ine and ovarian inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom
ing its pains. It has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life. ,
Third. The great volume of unso
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Fourth. Every ailing woman in the
United States is Asked to accept the
following invitation. It is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham'e Standing Invitation
to Women. Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl.
edge that will help your case. 8urely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

NOT A PATiMT MEDICINE
Hyomel, the inaraaeed Catarrh
Care, Prescribed By Physicians.
No one should confound Hyomel with
the patent medicines that are advertised
to cure catarrh. It la as far superior to
them all as the diamond Is more valuable
than cheap glass. Their composition Is
secret, but Hyomel gives Its formula tA
all reputable physicians.
Ita base Is the valuable eucalyptus oil,
famous for lta antiseptic qualities. This
Is combined with aromatic and healing
guma and balsams, making a pure liquid,
which when used In the Hyomel pocket
Inhaler, nils the air you breathe with
germ-killing, disease-destroying and heal
ing powers that kills all catarrhal germs
there may be In the throat, nose and
lungs.
How foolish It Is to try and cure catarrh
by swallowing tablets or liquids. The only
natural way to cure this disease and all
other diseases of the respiratory organs
Is to breathe Hyomel.
This treatment has been so successful,
curing 99 per cent of all who have used
It, that Hyomel Is now sold by Sherman
A McConnell Drug Co. under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money If It does
not cure. Tou run no risk whatever In
buying Hyomci. If it did ni$ po8 un
usual powers to cure. It could not be sold
upon this plan.
The complete Hyomel outfit costs $1.00
and comprises an Inhaler, a bottle of Hy
omel and a dropper. The Inhaler will last
a lifetime; and additional bottles of Hy
omel can be obtained for BO cents.

NAHAN FRANKO AND hTs WORK
Former Omahan Who Has Won His
War to lllah Hank In Mualo
World.
The many friends of Nahan Franko of
the Metropolitan opera company house or
chestra are very sorry that he did not
conduct In Omaha. Mr. Franko Is very
sorry also.
"I should have liked very much to con
duct here," he said at the Iler Grand yes
terday afternoon, "so "that my friends who
used to know me here eighteen years ago
could sea how well I have worked since
that time and that I have made some suc
cess. It waa the same at New Orleans,
where I was born. On this tour we have
divided the conducting so that we each
have certain operas. I did not know we
were coming to Omaha until the schedule
had been arranged. I conducted In Minne
apolis and will In Kansas City, but not
here where I so much wished to do so."
Mr. Franko took charge of the Metro
politan opera house orchestra seven years
ago, and has brought it to Its present state
of perfection. When he began the orchestra
disbanded during the winters, but he keeps
them together summer and winter now and
has some great artists among the perform
ers. The orchestra Is his great enthusiasm.
"To Bhow you how they play," he says
with enthusiasm, "I will Just tell you about
what happened at Pittsburg the other day.
"Die Melsterslnger" Is considered to make
one of the greatest demands on an orches
tra. It Is as hard as a concerto. In Pitts
burg the lights went out suddenly by ac
cident when we were playing; the orches
tra went on for five minutes In the dark
and did not miss a note."
Mr. Franko leaves New York May 2. the
day after the return of the company from
the present tour, and goes to London,
where he will conduct some concerts. He
will also go to Italy. His present position
Is different from his condition when he
came out to Omaha an unknown young
musician.
"It was a great life here then," says Mr.
Franko, smiling remlnlscently; "I was
organist In Kountze Memorial church, con
ductor In the theater, leader of three men's
singing societies, a woman's oratorio so
ciety, giving orchestral concerts and cham
ber music; giving lessons In Council Bluffs
and Fremont and In Omaha, and being In
structor at Brownelll hall and doing many
other things. I liked Omaha, but my
friends told me It did not offer any chance
for the future, so I decided to go to New
York. But I had lost all my money, so to
get away I went out as conductor for
Henry B. Dixey's Adonis. This city al
ways was crazy for good music. Whenever
the people knew ' they were to' hear anything-
good they always came out famously.
When I first came here Minnie Hauck sang
and the American opera company with
Patti. They drew as large audiences as
that of last night at the Auditorium. Omaha
has always been a music loving city.

COUNTY'S LIGHTING BILLS
Investigation Now Going on Shows Very
Wide Discrepancies.
LARGE OVERCHARGES ARE DISCOVERED
Auditor Smith la Cheeking tP Ac
counts and Already Kinds the
County Kntltled to Some
Extensive Credits.
Is the county being overcharged by the
electric lighting company for light fur
nished the county hospital?
To answer this question the commis
sioners and auditor of Douglas county
have gotten busy for some days back
checking the bills of the electric lighting
company. These bills are largely techni
cal In makeup, being based on amount of
light used, number ' of lamps, contract
rates of discount, new lamps, and other
details that only mathematicians can figure
out from specific data. The officials have
found enough questionable Items In the
bills to interest them, and are still at
work trying to ascertain Just what the
facts are.
It seems that in 1SW? a contract was
entered Into with the electric light com
pany. When the new auditor and his
deputies took office they received Instruc
tions to carefully examine all current as
well aa all unpaid bills for lighting. A
cursory examination did not prove satis
factory, and a more detailed probing
created a large doubt as to the correctness
of tho charges. Bills for some eight
months past, as near as can be learned,
have been gone over, with the result that
the county officials are about ready to
complain of excessive charges.
It Is said that It doea not appear certain
whether the alleged overcharges are
merely an evidence of carelessness or In
tentional. But this Is certain, that the
county has quite a large discount coming
on Its electric lighting bills which has not
been allowed for If the figures of the
county officers are correct. This overlooked
discount, or overcharge, or whatever It is,
should make a very material reduction in
the county bills, past, as well as future.
It is also said that negotiations are now
In progress with the managers of the elec
tric lighting company looking to adjust
ment. For this reason Chairman Kennard
of the county board and Auditor Smith
decline to go into details, but Insist that
the county is in position to get all that
Is coming to It. Something more definite
Is promised shortly.
OMAHA SHOULD BE BEAUTIFUL
Colonel Richardson Tells Clifton Hill
Improvers of City's Mataral
Advnntnaes.
Colonel R. W. Richardson and County At
torney Slabaugh delivered addresses on the
subject of civic improvement before the
Clifton Hill Improvement club Thursday
evening. There were a score of Interested
men present and the points made by the
speakers were well received.
Colonel Richardson gave some attention
to sketches of the topography and general
features of many c(T the larger and more
prominent cities of the land. He told what
they are doing and planning In the line of
esthetic ornamental betterment, both as to"
business and ' residence thoroughfares.
Drawing the lemons which suggested them
selves from his observations during his
travels, Colonel Richardson said that it
was not only his personal opinion, but also
the opinion of many widely traveled per
sons with whom he had talked, that Omaha
has a great many natural advantages In
the way of loctlon and conformation for
becoming one of thS very attractive home
cities of the continent. With the comple
tion of the system of parkways and the
chain of boulevards at present under way
or planned, and the proper and willing co
operation of the people, he looked to see
this city soon take its place among the
talked of centers of the land.
On another line of thought Colonel Rlch-
ardson brought out the Importance of the
city and the country working together for
better rural roadways. He expressed the
view that their Interests are Identical and
reciprocity in matters of trade and business
community, and that where good roads
lead Into fine streets, there will the great
est success be realized in business and in
civic culture, which is not to be considered
as of the city solely.
Judge Slabaugh continued his campaign
for personal effort on the part of all citi
zens, whether home owners or householders.
and commented enthusiastically on the pos-
Ibllltles. As a member of the National
Civic Improvement league, he offered to
supply those interested with late leaflets
Issued by that organization, containing
suggestions calculated to be of value In the
work.
President Tom Johnson occupied the chair
for the first time and announced a long list
of committees that the Clifton Hill people
will start to work at once. On the sewer
penalty matter, he reported that, after
consultation with lawyers, It was decided
that the penalty will hove to be paid, as
the club has waited too long before getting
busy on the matter. He announced that
the city treasurer will allow the people to
pay their assessments for the sewer In In
stallments of $5 or $10.
The club will meet hereafter on the last
Thursday of each month.

SERIOUSLY INJURED BY FALL
Chris Sorensnn May Die aa Result of
Stepping from Moving
Car. Chris Sorenson, a laborer at Swift's pack
ing house In South Omaha, who lives at Ml
North Eighteenth street. Jumped off electric
car No. 122 near Sixteenth and Pine streets
last evening at 7:20 o'clock before the car
had been brought to a stop. He lost his
balahce and fell very heavily, his head
striking the pavement. He was taken In
a dazed condition to a drug store nearby
and the police station was notified. After
the police surgeon hnd dressed what ap
peared to be a severe bruise on the back of
his head, Sorenson had recovered his
strength and said he felt all right. He
gave an address In South Omaha end was
taken there In the patrol wagon, but no one
there knew him. He was then brought back
to the station, where his condition gradu
ally became serious. He spit blood and
showed evidence that he was suffering from
concussion of the brain. He soon relapsed
Into a semi-comatose condition.
City Physician Ralph wns called to examine
the man, but was unable to determine at
the time the exact extent of his Injuries,
although he thought they were of a serious
character. It appears the man had not
been drinking. His confusion as to the
number of his residence arose from the
fact that he moved to his present location
yesterday. He Is not married, but lives
with his sister.

ORCHARD A WIL.HELM CARPET CO.
HUNTING FOR MRS. SPENCER
Detectives looking for Woman Who
Wrote Xotes to Secure
Belief.
Apparently not all the forgeries of Mra
Grace Spencer have been brought to light.
About a month ago Mrs. Spencer secured
$25 from Sunderland Bros, by unlawfully
using the name of Mrs. Helen D. Wormers
ley, but the charge of forgery against her
was dismissed after friends had refunded
the money she obtained. Since then she has
not been heard of.
Thursday morning Charles Nathanof the
firm of Nathan Broa, grocers, appeared at
the police station with a $10 check made out
by him to Cynthia Magaw, and a note
which read:
"I am In Immediate need of a loan of $10.
Do you think you can accommodate me un
til tomorrow noon? This will bo a gfeat
favor. Please send back by boy. Cynthia
Magaw."
The note was dated February 27 and on
that day Mr. Nathan sent the check by the
messenger boy who brought the note. It
wus paid At a bank and returned to him.
He was unwilling to remind Mrs. Magaw of
her debt for some time, but at last became
suspicious and asked her If she sent the
note. It was the first she knew of the
transaction. The detectives who arrested
Mrs. Spencer on the former occasion say
that the note Is undoubtedly in her writing.
A search Is being made for her.
