The advent of the Box here will see
the third top-notch American league team

have been here are likely contenders for
I he American league pennant, even though
Connie Mack and his Athletics are building
up a great ball team In Quaker town. Only
the second squads were sent to Omaha,
but there are a number of speedy men in
the second squad of each team, many of
whom are going to b the regulars this
season.
Friday at the ball park the regulars and
the Tanlgans of the Rourke tribe, got Into
an awful mix. Captain Schlpke and hi
regulars are doing their darndeet to dis
credit the playing qualities of those
youngsters, but all the same the youngsters
had Bklpper Bill's nine worried at Inter
vals. The hitting was better Friday than

Kick on Fence Color
Player. Say the Signs in Varied Col

Averages.
Pa Rourke's players are rising in re
bellion against the nice fence Pa has
erected around his new grounds. They de
clare the colors of the signs back of center
field spoil their batting, because they
cannot see the ball against the big blue
and white Storz sign there.
In ail the games played up to date the
Omahas have batted In very poor form,
and they declare It Is the signboards. Of
course, none of the team has had any bat

STATE BONDS NOT WORTH PAR
State Treasurer Will Find Difficulty
in Selling Them.
AMENDMENT A STUMBLING BLOCK !
. .
Nebraska Has Over lour Million Dol
lars Tied I p In Serorltlee, Which
Will Be Sold to the mak
es t Bidders.
Nebraska will find difficulty in dispos
ing of the foreign state securities. In which
more than 14.000. WO of school funds are
invested, Is the earnest opinion of those
v ho are familiar with the conditions that
exist. Wlille the bonds offered for sale
to the highest bidders who submit their
proposals to State Treasurer Walter A.
George on or before April 30 are gilt-edged
in every resiwt, the market conditions
at the present time will not permit pur
chasers to buy at a prom.
t'nder the recnt legislative act authorli-
Ing the sale of these bonds It was antici
pated that the money could be reinvested
In Nebraska municipal and county bonds
at a higher rate of Interest, but there Is
an amendment to the bill which, appar
ently, will knock such plans galley west.
A fight was made against this amendment.
nd some of the state officers saw the im
portance of eliminating it. but it was
pessed nevertheless.
This amendment, which was reoom-
mended by the senate Judiciary committee.
provides that the board of educational,
lands and funds shall In reinvesting the
funds from the ale of the bonds offered
buy only direct from the authorities tnak-
ng the Issues, it .further provides that
the state must make Its purchases In the
order In which the requests by the various
municipalities are - filed with the state
treasurer.
To Purchase Dlreet.
The full text of the amendment reads
that In the reinvestment of such funds the
fctate Board of Kducatlonal Lands and
Funds shall purchase all bonds direct from
ho authorities Issuing the same, and In
the order In which they shall be offered
to said board, and for the purpose of ad
vising authorities having such bonds as
to their rights herein It shall be the duty
of the said board to number all offers
mcde and to notify said authorltlea of such
numbers..
The Intent of this amendment waa un
doubtedly prompted by a spirit of con
scientious endeavor to protect the funds
from possible graft." declares Harry Nott.
the well konwn dealer In Investment bonds.
but It will not bring about the desired re
sults. The most dangerous defect In the
amendment appears to lie In the fact that
there Is nothing to prevent authorities
forcing the state to buy bonds at any rate
of Interest they may fix. For Instance, If
a Nebraska municipality authorizes a bond
Issue bearing 2 or 3 per cent the state may
have to take them. What, then would be
the advantage of disposing of the state
bonds bearing 8 and 4 per cent Interest, and
relnvesUng In securities bearing a lower
rate?"
Cannot Sell Below Par.
Getting back to the original subject of
the proposed bond sale it is declared by
Mr. Knott, aa well as others dealing In
investment securities, that it will be diffi
cult, If not quite Impossible, to dispose of
state bonds for the reason that there Is
a provision prohibiting the sale of the ae-
urlties at less than par -and accrued in
terest. Investment men declare that they
are not worth par under the present
market conditions.
In providing In the amendment that
bonds In the future be bought direct from
the authorities and that cash accompany
all transactions, the legislature sought to
shut out the middleman or Investment
broker. Man who deal In securities declare
that by admitting than they could hare
taken the state bonds now on hand, and by
trading and dickering, realised for the
state returns as near to par aa possible.
while under the present conditions It will
be a serious problem to dispose of the
bonds which are not worth par by several
points.

Otis P. Wood, one of the members of

passed through Omaha Friday. Mr. Wood
was extremely noncommunlcatlve as to the
questions of the hour on woolens, except
In the woolens themselves. He wore a
checked woolen suit that discredited any
engine toot in the yards, for real noise.
In regard to the recent attacks on the
methodii employed by the Woolen trust in
keeping up the price of woolen cloths by
the 90 per cent tariff Mr. Wood was re
ticent. That they are untrue he finally
admitted, and also added, that nobody read
them, nor cared for them. And In regard
to the 100.000 which, It Is said the Woolen
trust Is spending to advertise and educate
the public mind, he knows nothing, snd
benldee. $10u,000 Is nothing to a member
of the Woolen trust according to the state
ments of the party.
The Wood party has been making a

IOWA TO TRY MAJBRAY CASES
of a vigorous letter to the attorney general
and the (ounty attorney.
Letter Reaches Dea Moines.
The letter reached Des Moines Thursday
afternoon and Attorney General Cosson
immediately acted. He wrote a very posi
tive letter to County Attorney Capell In
forming him that all of the nolled Indict
ments must be reinstated at once under
penalty of his removal from office by ap
plication of the Cosson low, the statute
that was Invoked to dispossess Major
George 11. Richmond. The attorney gen.
eral also In the same hour wrote the letter
to Clerk Brown. This was of such art
Imperative character that it brooked no
delay, and Mr. Brown Immediately went
upstairs where the court docket was In use
and noted the appearance of the attorney
general In all of the cases.
There are now on file Indictments against
about 150 of the mlkers. although they com
prise but twenty-six bills. The Indictments
were returned under the guidance of
former County Attorney Hess with a Mew
of mlnlmlxtng the cost of prosecution. Ma-
bray, as principal, was Indicted in each
case that was pulled off here where evi
dence was forthcoming, and with him each
of the steerers. Jockeys, wrestlers and
fighters, making six defendants In many
of the cases and as high as eight or nine
in others. Under the Iowa law all of
these defendants may demand separate
trials.
Only Two Case Tried.
Only two of the cases have been tried
In the state court, John R., alias "Beckey"
Dobbins and Frank Scott. Dobbins was
convicted by County Attorney Hess In No
vember, 190, and was sentenced to five
years In the penitentiary. His attorneys
appealed to the supreme court and the
case is now pending. Dobbins is the steerer
who landed Banker T. W. Ballew of Prince
ton, Mo., for $30,000. Scott waa tried In
February, 1910, with former Attorney Gen
eral Byers present as an active participant
in the prosecution.
The state had a great deal stronger case
against Scott than was made against Dob
bins, but the Jury acquitted him, it was
declared at the time, aa protest against the
Interference of the attorney general In the
affairs of the county. Scott was the steerer
who manipulated John Hemelbrecht of
Bancroft, Neb., who lost J6.000. A modicum
of the same evidence was presented to the
federal grand Jury when Scott was In
dicted. At the March term of the federal
court here he entered a plea of guilty and
got Ave months In Jail.
Hna:e Task In Prospect.
The task that haa been put upon the
state by the action of the attorney general
Is a huge one and the costs that will be
piled upon the county will be worth taking
account of. The Dobbins and Scott cases
cost about $2,000 and If evidence enough to
secure conviction In all of the others is
produced the costs will equal or exceed
11,000 in every case. It has cost the gov
ernment nearly $50,000 In direct expenses
to convict about two dozen members of the
gang, and the government has the advan
tage of the state In many respects. It can
compel the attendance of witnesses from
all parts of the country and it can try
the criminals In any slsed bunches. The
state can do neither.

"It Is pot a question of what It will cost,
but It Is the necessity for making use of
every means to remove tbe stigma that the
acts of these men have put upon Council
Bluffs," said Mr. Lougea, former president
of the Law Knforcement league. "The
town cannot prosper unless It makes a
herolo effort to remove the stain." Attor
ney Klllpack, now president of the league,
expressed the same views months ago and
has not modified them.
There are now In the Leavenworth prison
a dozen or more of the men whose terms
are soon to expire and these will be the
first victims of the wrath of the new at
torney general. Colonel Mabray, with
twenty-six Indictments attached to him,
will be the first and there is no doubt but
there will be evidence sufficient to convict.
Mabray is the arch scoundrel of the lot,
with able lieutenants In Monte McCall and
Isadore J. Warner. They undoubtedly se
cured several million dollars from their
large assortment of victims all over the
country and Attorney General Cosson
thinks Mabray and his principal officers
should receive good long terms In the
state's prisons.
With practically all of the Indictments
reinstated, warrants will be sent to Leav
enworth and other places where the mlkers
are about to complete their sentences.

After a legal bsttle. or scries of legal
battles extending over a period of twenty
four years. Matthew Chlchak has become
the undisputed owner of a valuable farm
In Jlrule county, upon which he lm re
sided since several years before the com
mencement of the litigation. This was
one of the most prolonged legal contro
versies In the history of the territory or
Mate. When Chlchak moved on the land
he believed he had a Rood title, but It de
veloped mat he had nothing more than a
lax title, and another man put In a claim
to the farm. Chlchak. rather than have a
law-suit, offered to pay the claimant an
amount equal to what the farm was worth
st that time, but this offer was rejected.
ana in imi the case was carried Into the
courts, where It remained until a few dnvs
ago, when the final decision declared
Chlchak to be the legal owner of the farm.

Spring Is the season when the blood is weakest, and our systems least

digestion, lack of energy, bodily fatigue, and many other sy.stemic disturb

pietea you can only tone it up by supplying an increased amount of nour- -ishment,
and this can come only through pure, rich blood. S. S. S. is the
greatest of all blood purifiers ; and it is the one medicine you can rely upon
to supply the system with the best tonic effects and at the same time thor
oughly purify the blood. Many people have put off using a touic until the
system became so weakened it could not resist disease, and have paid for the
neglect with a spell of debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is nature '3 ideal tonic;
made entirely of healthful roots, herbs and barks. It tones up the stomach

to strong, robust health. S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.
