illSSING ATTORNEY FUUSD
Van Thought to Bj Drowned DiEcorered
Working on a Farm Near Defiance.
THOUGHT THAT HIS MIND IS UNBALANCED
Guthrie County Shows a Decrease of
About seven Hundred la Popoln
tlon Ilnrlns; the I'aat
Five Years.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. June 2".-(Spec!l.) Virrfll
White, the prominent young attorney who
was thought to have been drowned a week
ago Sunday in the river here, was located
at Defiance In Bhelby county today and
brought home to Des Moines tonight. At
torney J. C. Hume, In whoee office White
was employed, went to Defiance at the first
word that the man was there alive, and
identified him. While, according to George
Ferguson, on whose farm White had
worked for a week, acted strangely slnco
coming to the farm, but worked steadily
In the field. He could give no account of
himself except that he came from De
Moines, and seemed unable to give Ms
name. He gave the name of Henry Klrk
hart, but repeated the name mechanically
os though not sure It was right. A letter
from Miss Oella Thompson of this city was
at the office of Mr. White this morning.
She was colled to the office and permitted
tho attorneys there to read the letter, but
Its contents have not been given out. Miss
Thompson burst Into tears this morning
when the announcement was made to her
that W'lilte had been found alive. Sho
would not deny thnt she had been engaged
to White, but stated that she had recenuy
told White she was engaged to another.
These facts are leading Mr. White's friends
to believe thnt blighted affections hod much
o do with his disappearance. He had
taught In the Drake Uw school here and
had a bright future. His father, Hon. Fred
White of Webster, twice a candidate on
the democratic ticket for governor, was
early Informed of his son's discovery and
Is expected In Des Moines at once.
Collects Money for State.
J. F. Wall ot the state auditor's office
has returned from a tour over the state
collecting delinquent aiate tax In the pos
session of the county treasurers. It Is the
first tlmo such a tour has been made by one
from the auditor's office. Mr. Wall found
taxes delinquent In some countii - as far
back as 1S57. and the most of It j now
been collected.
Bryan Here to Talk.
W. J. Bryan Is in the city and filled an
engagement at the Midland Chautauqua
grounds this afternoon. The attendance
was diminished by the heavy rain and cold
weather. His lecture was "Prince of Peace.
His only political comment was in an In
terview In which he talked of the "glaring
njustlce," as he termed It, of the dismissal
of Minister Herbert Bowen.

Omaha Man's BIsT Bass.
ONAWA, la.. June 27. (Special.) William
H. Boderman of 1517 Nicholas street,
Omaha, holds the record Just now for oatch
lng the biggest bass of the aeason, or
thirty-nine previous seasons, for that mat
ter, at Blue lake, where on Sunday he
caught a bass that weighed seven and
three-quarters pounds. The seven and
quarter-pound buss of Jake Pritchard and
the seven and a half-pound one of Fred J,
Marshall have all gone glimmering, and
this one of Boderman's takes the whote
works. The bass was weighed In the pres
ence of many Omaha people who were at
the lake, and other parties, and thers 1
no going back of the returns. It was the
biggest and heaviest bass ever taken mt (if
Blue lake and the "old-timers" can't re
member anything to beat It. Mr. Boderman
took the fish to Omaha and surely has the
goods.
Petition for Another Ditch.
UN AW A, la., June 27. (Special.) A pe
tltion was presented to the Monona County
Board of Supervisors asking for the e
tablishment of a ditch to drain Silver
lake southerly Into the old swamp land
ditch, now constructed, thence Into the
"gully ditch," then Into Gard lake. Silver
lake and Uard lake were both formerly
part of the Missouri river, and there is
natural ' watercourse along the proposed
route part of the way. The ditch Is ex
pected to drain considerable land now too
wet for cultivation some years, and the
petition Is generally signed by adjacent
land owners. R. S. Fessenden was ap
pointed engineer on the same and will ex
amine the proposed route with a view to
the establishment of the, ditch.

The trouble between the Omaha and
South Omaha plumbers will most likely be

tracts. The saloon keepers against whom JL'pa.red fr
the Injunctions are Issued are Hans Nlel
Omaha. When the ordinance was passed
It waa done for the purpose of protecting
local plumber and with the Intention of
shutting out Omaha competition.
A similar ordinance was passed by the
Omaha city council. Now both the Omaha
and South Omaha plumbers are willing to
come to some agreement and take down the
bars. The first step toward an amicable
agreement has been taken by the South
Omaha city council at the request of the
local plumbers. An ordinance has been
read for the first time repealing the former
ordinance and substituting another, with
the objectionable features cut out. Should
the recently Introduced ordinance be
passed any plumber may secure a license
upon the payment of a $10 fee and furnish
ing a bond of SLOnO. This license is good
for one year. A plumber's examining
board la named In the ordinance, to con
sist ot the city engineer, a representative
of the water company and a member of
the city council. The new ordinance pro
vides for a representative of the American
Water Works company, but it la presumed
that this Is an error and will be corrected
by the committee to read Omaha Water
company, otherwise the ordinance would
not be valid. Both Omaha and South
Omaha plumbers appear to be anxious for
a settlement of the difficulty so that plumb
ers can work In either city by the payment
of the license fee and the furnishing of a
bond.

"I was In your city a couple of weeks

purpose being to show through tho testi

Assessment and commented thereon, had
thus been Instrumental In browbeating the

they should of right lie," remarked rhlltp

the redoubtable Boh Clancey's proclamation

DEARTH OF BRICKLAYERS
Men Are Hard to Get Not Only In
Omaha, but All Over
the West.
The dearth of bricklayers bids fair to de
lay building construction In Omaha this
summer. In fact, some of the buildings
which are now being constructed are rising
very slowly because not a sufficient number
of men can be secured to do the work.
The Capital City Brick and Pipe company
Is building the Allen Bros.' warehouse and
one for J. B. Pierce at Tenth and Howard.
The company has Just about a large enough
force of bricklayers for one big contract at
a time and says It Is Impossible to get more.
The foundation of the Allen Bros.' building
has been laid and work there Is at a stand
still until the walls ot the Pierce structure
have been finished.
Union wages for bricklayers are 62ft cents
an hour. The men on various Jobs are be
ginning to ask 70 cents. They say they are
being offered that money by contractors In
other cities and they must get as good
wages here If they are to stay. Council
Bluffs contractors are advertising for men
at 70 cents.
Omaha Is not the only city suffering from
the famine of labor. The same condition
prevails all over the country. Advertise

City Brick and Pipe company. "All over

as the one medicine for women, the makers of which take their
patients fully into their confidence and tell them exactly what
they are taking. This Dr. Pierce can afford to do, because his "FAVORITE PRE

hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit placing its merits above criticism.

With all the recent talk about patent medicines and the determined effort in cer
tain quarters to cast discredit upon all household remedies which come under that
head, the fact remains that some of these medicines are so firmly established in popular
favor and confidence, have so proved their worth and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots can not destroy the people's faith in them.
One of the best known of these remedies is DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRE-!
SCRIPTION, a medicine which for years has been accepted by the people as a stand-;
ard preparation for the cure of those ailments to which women alone are subject.
