of Governor Shallenberger, chiefly con
cerned In the recount.
"1 can see no further pleasure," replied
Brian, late defeated candlf te for the re
publican nomination for congress In the
Third district, and loud laughter from
thm present followed.
"Well we have to do something. We
can't drag this canvass along until after

to me like we ought to get busy and find
out whose nominated." ' '
"I think you are right about that," said
Ftate Canvasser Brian, "but what about

"I don't believe we should make Walt

earnings of the Rock Island proper were
greater on an average than those of tho
whole system, he stated. The subsidiary
lines reduced the average, he said. Attorney
Thorne thn read from a report of the rod
to the Interstate Commerce commission.
He said that the report controverted the
witness; that the earnings of the system
averaged more than those of the railroad
proper.
"The difference may be accounted for,"
explained the witness, "by the fact that my
tables and those which you have are pre
pared by different methods."
Mr. Thorne demanded the formula by
which eurnlngs are arrived at, and was In
terrupted by Attorney Brown, who snid:
"The wltnesn has explained that his sta
tistics were based on a different method of
bookkeeping. Io you think there Is a
nigger In the woodpile, 7"
"I do," was the prompt reply.
"Then go after It," replied the examiner.
'Questions by Live Stock Man.
Attorney Clifford Thome, representing
the American National Live Stock associ
ation at the Interstate Commerce commis
sion rate hearing, Insisted today that offi
cers of the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfio
Railroad company be subpoenaed to testify
concerning the capitalisation of the company.
The demand came after Comptroller May,
under cross-examination, had said that the
stock of the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfio
Railway company was largely. If not en
tirely, held by the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad company.
A heated discussion followed as to the
relevancy of the desired testimony. Attor
ney E. D. Pierce of the railway company
insisted that the capitalisation of the rail
road company was not germane to the
hearing. Mr. Pierce said that tbe capital
stock of the railroad company was II4o,0W,-
000, and that it was a matter ot common
knowledge that It owned the greater part of
the stock of the railroad company.
"It does not matter," he said, "what the
railroad company is capitalised at. We,
the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfio Rail
way company are not asking for Increased
rates in connection with any company ex
cept the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclfio
Railway company, and we do not know,
nor are we concerned with the capitalisa
tion of the Chicago, Bock Island & Paclfio
Railroad company."
Destiny of Tariff.
The controversy concluded with the state
ment that the shippers could subpoena of
ficers of the railroad company and ques
tion them concerning the density of traffic
on different sections of the Rock Island
line.
Taking up the cross-examination ot
Comptroller Nay, Attorney Thome asked
the witness It the latter1 s estimate of the
compensation per ton mile shown In statis
tics introduced yesterday. Included mall,
passenger and express labor charges as
well as freight and labor compensation.
Mr. Nay replied that all labor was Included
In the estimate.
He said that In estimating the probable
operating expenses for the road for 1911 he
had not taken Into account any probable In
crease In freight revenue for ths reason
that the figures showed that there has been
a decrease of 1356,000 in gross freight reven
ues during the first seven weeks of the
present fiscal year as compared with the
corresponding period a year ago. -
Attorney Thorne sought to show that a
decrease for seven weeks was not a good
Indication of a yearly decrease, but Mr.
Nay refused to coincide with this. Witness
stated that the Interstate trafflo .on the
Rock Island system amounts to from 80 to
86 per cent ot the total.

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL & DANGEROUS
Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. It is
not only a very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. Tho
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance id the joints frequently termi
nates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. It Is natural to
' doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli
cations, etc., to get temporary relief
from a painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not a skin disease,
and such things, when depended oil
'alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a firmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. It
goes into the cir
culation, and re
moves - every
particle of the
irritating uric
acid, builds up
the blood,
makes it rich
and oily, and in
this way pre
pares it for the
proper nourishment of all joints,
muscles, nerves and bones. If you
have Rheumatism, get the uric acid
out of the blood by taking S. S. S., a
purely vegetable medicine, and enjoy
freedom from its misery. Book on
Rheumatism and any medical advice
free to all who write.

FALL OPENING
Saturday September 3
People of Omaha and vicinity invited ;
Not only invited to seethe most comprehensive showing ever at
tempted by any western clothing store, but also to see and inspect
the only store worthy of the appellation "Modern."
A Store Modern in Every Detail
Every bit of equipment is designed primarily to promote the comfort of patrons
and facilitate careful shopping The color scheme and decorative motive is famous
throughout the country. The first Omaha store to install the nev Tungsten lights
and the first to make any considerable use of the wardrobe system of handling
clothing. Tday forty-one cabinets holding 3,280 suits and 12 large cabinets hold
ing 360 overcoats are in use more cabinet space than that of all other Omaha
st-rcs combined. Three floors 66x132 feet, vastly more selling space thari that of
any other store devoted to men's and boys' wear.
. A Store Modern in Its Methods
Not only a raodernly equipped store but a modemly conducted store. Every feature of our ' store
service evolved from some thought pertaining to the welfare and satisfaction of our customers. The
one store in which customers' interests take precedent over all others. We believe we serve our inter
ests best by serving yours first. The most liberal value giver; because its organization gives it extraor
dinary buying facilities. The most liberal advertiser because its Clothing news is good enough to be
poured into every ear. The most imitated store in town;' none of its methods or doings have been exempt
from the. flattering attention of the imitators.. The most progressive store; always on the look out for
chances to improve. Recently we saw some improvement, possibilities today they are improvement
.realities. Visitors to the second floor will be surprised to find that what was a seemingly, perfect ar
rangement has been greatly improved. Everything so conveniently arranged that 6ne can almost find
the clothes they want without assistance. y . ... ; .
And Now a Few Words in Retrospection
Friday evening, Sept. 2d, marks the close of two full years of extraordinarily active Clothing busi-
ness. A marvel to the public and ourselves. We feel grateful for the manifestation of public confidence .
in our methods during these two years.. We promise to continue and improve the pleasant and attractive
features of our store service and eliminate any objectionable parts.
i We want our customers to continue to be our customers, we want to gain others. "We won't be sat
isfied until we put a King-Swanson suit on every man and boy in Omaha. We intend to put forth every
honest effort to produce that result. We've double jjtie. assortment of any other store and invite you
to a Really Impressive Fall Clothes Show. ' u
Our Fall Suits and Overcoats
are tailored to order from fabrics selected by us. This method permits us to offer far better values than
any store relying on so-called Advertised Brands. We don't ask you to contribute to any manufacturer's
advertising. We save you the proportionate expense of "Brand Clothes" advertising and that alone
is considerable. During the past two years we've relied principally upon fabrics from Hanover, Wash
ington, Hockanum, Globe and Schackamaxon Mills. Our tests have proven them unquestionably, the best
and our fall garments are principally of these fabrics. t , . . .
Suits, $10 to $40 Overcoats, $10 to $bo

how much value and how
much style can be crowded
into popular priced shoes.

tailored in exquisite manner by the world's
best needle men.
Superb Fall Furnishing
The shirts we offer are master
pieces ot shirt making. Our Neck
wear Is decidedly uncommon. Our
Underwear Is all tnat good under
wear could be. Our collars are
the famous Arrows. In fact we

see them come In and let an
obliging salesman show you
through.

wearing propensities as to make you regret the money, you have spent in the past for Common Suits.
