"1-oads of fun," "Great iiport" and' "A
regular circua" are a few of the way
Omaha society girl described their ex
perience Saturday afternoon while sell
Ing special "College Hero" extras of The
Bee and other newapapara
The extras contained many pictures of
the lending participant, and stories of
the big musical comedy production v hloh
r ill be presented Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday at the Brandels theater by
NO young women and men of thi city
for the benefit of the Child Saving Insti
tute. The debuntes, society maids and
prominent high school glr's who sold the
papers yesterday turned In about 1M, all
of which will go to the Child Saving In
stitute, as the papers had been donated
for the' purpose by The Bee and other
dallies. ,
Thousands of the extras were easily
old by the amateur newsies," for the
combination of a. winning smile, a wor
thy cause and an attractive paper could
not be resisted. From pennies to dollars,
the money was gathered In by the young
women, aome of whom sold 100 or more
extras In loss than two hours.
Miss Harriet Meti, assisted by E. T.
Campbell, who will be stage manager of
"The College Hero," turned In over $li
from papers sold at the wholesale houses.
Harriet -Sherman and her group of work
ers on Farnam street also did splendidly,
end, In fact, every miss "sold out" one
or more times and had to be supplied
with more papers by young men who
toured the business district In autos to
renew the supply.
"We certainly had lot of fun." said
Miss Marjorle Cavers afterward. Although
one of the moat petite of the "newsies."
he was one of the first to sell all her
Mg armful of the Illustrated extras. After
aeiitng a second and, a third armful, she
secured still more and found many pur
chasers among the crowd leaving the
Orpheum after the matinee.
Bee provee Favorite.
Miss Mary House, daughter of Rev.
Frederick T. Rouse of the First Congre
gational church, played "newsle" at the
Bee building corner. 8he fpund a big
demand for the extras, and soon discov
ered that although her voice prevented
her from shouting like the regular
"newsies," the "College Hero" extras
old anyway. She says The Bee edition
proved , favorite, as It contained a page
length cut of Miss Alice Duval, who will
be leading lady In the play. ,
Mis Lenlce II use was the first of the
society girls to report a tl sale. She
made It at Sixteenth and Farnam streets.
The man who gave "her the big coin took,
a Bee and smilingly walked on without
even saying, "Keep the change.'" for he
knew he was helping a good cause and he
wa triad to do It.
Misses ' Jeannette Rutherford ' and
, Kleanor Slabaugh had their "news
stand" at Fifteenth and Farnam streets.
"It certainly la nice to get nickel and
dimes, and even quarters and larger coin
for a paper," they said. "But we don't
envy the newsboys their Jobs. ' Even with
a rushing business, I'm afraid we'd
starve If we only got a penny for each
paper." ' " ,
SoiemthlaaT in Novelty.
"It. Is certainly lota of fun, and we
don't mind It a bit," said Miss lone Fogg,
who sold many extras with several other
young women at Fourteenth and Farnam
streets. "But of course." she added,
."maybe we'd change our minds after the
novelty wore off."
When the girls started out with their
extras, they had a good Joke on one of
their number, whose limousine and big
monthly allowance had kept her from
learning much about selling papers.' Aa
he left the headquarters, a man stepped
up and held out several coins.
"W-wby. w-what do you want?" she
asked him blankly. But another amateur
newsle, who probably had become ex
perienced In tag-day campaigns, grabbed
the man' money, thrust an extra into
his hand and hastened on to the next
customer.
All Arc sacresafal. .
Although their voices were much better
ulted to singing the pretty songs of
"The College Hero," the society maids
and high school girls proved to be very
successful "newsies," and thry made a
big hit with the Saturday afternoon
crowds. Their extras were carefully read
and then taken home for reference, or to
be sent to relatives of the girls taking
part Jn the rlay.
Many men bought several papers, or
as often aa a charming newsglrl held out
one of the Interesting extras. Some men,
after acquiring a considerable stock of
extrs themselves, cr turned them to the
girls to be resold, or else they contributed
further to the Child Saving Institute
fund without taking any nor papers.

Moat Imstortaat.
(From a Ftaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 29.-Speclal.)-Wlth
threo positions to fill, to fill vacancies
caused by promotions, resignations and
elections, fSovernor Morehead has a hard
tank before him between now and
January. These, of course, are not all
he has to fill. There are others.
However, the three now occupying hi
attention most are the appointment of a
successor to Judge Conrad Hollenbeck
In the Sixth Judicial district, a successor
to Private Secretary Morrissey, who goes
to the lagal department of the state and
one to succeed State Chemist Redfern
of the pure food department, who goes
to Iowa at an advance In salary of $400.
Itaatlea la Hlsth.
There Is a peculiar situation Iri the
Sixth Judicial district, a situation which
would give most any man In the posi
tion of Governor Morehead plenty of
worry. Nance, Boone and Merrick, which
are united In a request for the appoint
ment of Judge Rose of Fullerton, have
not had a district judge for their entire
existence. The district, which Is com
posed of Boone, Colfax., Podge. Merrick,
Nance and Dalle, with two Judges, has
always kept It Judicial authority In the
two big counties, riatte and Dodge, with
one exception, for forty years, when for
a short time Colfax had a Judge.
. These two counties, cast at the 1912
election Ml votes against 7.(03 votes cast
by the three counties of Boone, Nance
and Merrick, which comprise the west
half of the district. Add the vote of
Colfax of tsw and with a vote of ll.HT
It can be readily aeen that the east half
of the district control the situation
when It comes to an election and It I
readily discovered why the west end ha
never had a a Judge.
Combined Area.
Dividing the district Into the two part.
Boone, Nance and Merrick have a com
bined area of l.ftU square mile, while
the balance of the district, Platte, Dodge
and Colfax, have an area of only sixteen
aquare miles more, so that from the
standpoint of an even division of the
district there Is no difference.
However, there I a polltlnal difference
which may cut some figure In the ap
pointment, although the appointment I
supposed to be nonpolltlcal, according to
the nonpartisan Judiciary law. The east
half of the district gave a strong majority
for Governor Morehead while the west
half gave a amall majority for hla re
publican opponent While thl I an .op
portunity for the governor to carry out
the nonpartisan spirit of the law. the
governor Is tagged by the Bryan crowd
a a reactionary and U la possible that
the old Idea that to the vlotor belong the
poll may cut considerable of a figure
In the appointment Thl 1 an oppor
tunity for the governor to give to the
west end of the district something which
thex are morally entitled to and which
they cannot expect to get by election Just
long a the two big counties on the
east end combine for their mutual Ih
tere.t.. , ..'
geleetloa mt Private secretary. '
The selection of a private secretary to
lake the place of A. M.' Morrissey when
the latter takes up the duties of deputy
attorney general la something which may
or may not worry the governor. Just as
he looks at It. It la understood that
there Is going to be some Influence
brought to bear upon the governor to
appoint aa hla secretary some politician
who need the Job. The selection of a
private secrets ry, however. Is a little
different than the selection of most any
other kind of an official. As Harry M.
Eaton, former land commissioner, used
to say. "A man should select hla deputy
or his secretary with the care which lie
uses in selecting hla wife, for to a great
extent that attache Is his official wife
and the official should select One without
any regard to what other people aay. It
Is none of their business."
So far no one has Interfered as the
public la aware of in the matter, but
it Is understood thst some guns are be
ing loaded which will be touched off at
the proper time.
State Chemist Problem.
In the matter of the selection of a state
chemist. Food Commissioner Harmon and.
me governor, have their eye on a man
whom they want and no other will be
considered until they, know whether this
one can be landed or not. And right here
there Is another Instance of where Ne
braska loses an efficient official Just
because It will not pay good men what
other atates are willing to pay. Iowa
offers Redfern WW more than Nebraska
la paying and get htm.
. There Is another appointment which
will probably be made Monday which Is
likely to figure to a considerable extent
In the future. This I an appointment
on the state board ot secretaries of the
Mate Hoard of Health. Dr. E. Arthur
Carr, a Lincoln physician, whoae time
ran out last July is a candidate for re
appointment . Ur. Carr la a good phy.
men and an excellent politician. .
Petltloaa Kile.
Petitions both for and against hi re
appointment have been filed with the
governor. Carr is a strong supporter
or Becretary Mryan. It Is said that Mr.
nryan has notified the governor that
In the interests of moral reform Mr.
Carr must be reappointed. A few physi
cians who signed a petition against Carr
are now hedging since Mr. Bryan has is
sued his decree and have notified the
governor that their pea slipped when they
wrote their names on the other fellows'
petition and they didn't mean It. Trusy
are now for Dr. Carr.
The governor la beginning to discover
that his experience In the appointing
game two years ago was Just a little out.
Ing compared with what he la up against
now.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29. That Germany has

German of detailed plans of the pro

"I have It from excellent and undla-

States and divulged plans of the pro
posed European war, which 1 now on,"

"He visited New York, Chicago and
other dtlea west of the Mississippi and
then went to the coast. On May V, IMS,
he held a secret meeting of some 300
Germans in San Francisco, called by the
then German consul there.
'At this gathering he outlined the plan
of the present war, which, he proclaimed.
would begin with an attack along the
border of Alsace IxirraJne. from where
a feint would be made to get Into Franoa,
the real Intent, the German general said.
would be to enter Franoa through Bel
gium.
'The general outlined the exact number
of day It would take to get to Paris,
the cost and number of men necessary
to get there, end that when Parla had
capitulated a levy would be made for It
redemption.
'After France had been captured the
Oerman army would overcome Russia.
It waa, pointed out by the German offi
cer that Great Britain waa expected to
remain neutral and that the time would
shortly come when Great Britain would
be attacked.
'Thla general Is most reliably reported
-to have stated 'taw is a makeshift, force
I the real weapon for strong nations.' "
Dr. MacDonald said he could not make
publlo the name of his Informant, but
that he attended the meeting, at which
General Von Bernhardl Is raid to have

Rowden's Giving to

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOI.N, Nov. 19. (Special.) I
Colonel Dave Rowden. formerly of
Omaha, a law breaker:
Colonel Dave la commandant of the aol-
dlers home at Milford. In that he ha
broken no law. Colonel Rowden believes
that to the victor belong the spoils and
that when a fellow has been appointed to
a lucrative office because he I a demo
crat, tbat he 1 a unworthy the name of
democrat If he doe not In turn when
election come around donate a tew dol
lar to help grease the democratic politi
cal machine. I .
One of the law of the last legislature
decreed that any man who held a Job
In a state Institution under the new hoard
of control and donated any money to a
political campaign was a law breaker
and should be decapitated. Colonel David
admit that he broke the law. He had
Dr. Hail, who had charge of the demo
cratic atrong box break it for hltn, but
morally and spiritually Dave broke it
himself and he doesn't care who knows it.
He wantel to give $25 to the democratic
state committee and he fixed It with Dr.
Hall so it would not appear aa coming
from Dave
Now In the eyes of the law ' Colonel
Rowden Is a law breaker. In the eyes of
the State Board of Control he la a law
breaker. But the board I democratic.
Colonel Rowden la a democrat and the

Father of Charley
Sellers Dies of Grief
VALKNTINB. Neb..-Nov. .-(Special
Telegram.) W. H. Seller of Bailey. Neb..
father of Charley Seller, who met a
tragic death June 18, 1911. which waa
charged to four me a. three of whom are
now serving a life sentence In the Ne
braska state penitentiary, died Friday
morning, November X7, and waa buried at
Cody, Neb., yesterday. The funeral ad-
dross waa delivered by Rev. J. A. John
son, pastor ot the Methodist Episcopal
church at Valentine. Mr. Seller had
never recovered from the shock caused
by the t ratio death of his son. He had
been sick for a long time, a ad hla body
now rests by the side of bis Ill-fated son.
Because H-yrsr-old Walter Futtcr, of
fice boy for the It. G. Dun Mercantile
agency, s a smart, diligent, brainy young
ster, anxious to "amount to something"
and ambitious to become a biinlnexs man,
he Is to be forgiven for appropriating
WW worth of postage stamps from his
employer and Is to have his old Job back
again.
W. A. Glass, district msnager of the
R. O. Dun company, met the boy In the
office of Chief of Detectives Maloney at
polle headquarters yestordsy, and his
heart went out to him. He will ask Judge
Willis Sear of the Juvenile court ' to
parolo the boy to him when the case
comes up this week, and he will atart the
lad on a career of honesty and useful
ness. Walter, with his 17-year-old brother.
Fred, who I -employed by the Maney
Milling company, has been stealing
stamps from his employer and sending
them to Chicago mall-order houses fof
farm Implements. Two hundred dollars'
worth of stamp they sold, snd paid the
money to a man named Callahan, for ad
vance rent on a twenty-acre farm near
Floronce.
"You see, we wanted to amount to
something, some day, so we thought we'd
try farming," naively declared Walter
esterday. "Really, Mr. Glass, you
shouldn't allow such a temptation to be
placed before young boys. Why, one of
the other kids almost went wrong, too."
The boy crossed his legs like an experi
enced man of the world, and emphasised
his argument by tapping Mr. Glass' knee
with a forefinger.
"Say, this kid appeals to me," exclaimed
Mr. Olass. standing up suddenly and fac
ing Chief Maloney. "if he had spent the
money on cigarettes and pool halls, I'd
say he should be sent to the reform
school, but he didn't, and I am sure he
has good stuff In him. I'm going to ask
the Judge to parole him to me, and If the
Judge does, I'll give him his old Job back.
This boy will amount to something some
dsy I'm sure of that-
"If they get out of this, theyll never
go wrong again," predicted Mr. Glass.
The police recovered merchandise,
farm implements, etc, to the value of
the ctamps pilfered. The boys did not
spend a single dollar for anything except
articles they could use on their farm.

LONDON. Nov. !4.-Krupp's baby how
lter "mlnenwufer," it I called by the
Germans-Is the latest terror tfie allied
armlea are called upon to face In the
trenohes; and Its novelty, its comparative
simplicity and Ha destructlvness attest
to the completeness of the German fight
ing equipment The huge howitxers with
which the Germans battered down the
strongest Belgian fort were for ajime
the most talked-of feature of the Ger
man artillery; hut now that Colonel E. D.
Swlnton, the British "eye-witness" with
the expeditionary force ha drawn atten
tion to this trench howltxer, the British
press Is describing It
The uniqueness of the little howltxer
lies In the fact that though Its caliber Is
less than three Inches, It throws a shell
a hose diameter Is more than a foot
weighing,' with Its charge of high ex
plosive, nearly 200 pounds. This Is done
by the simple expedient of attaching a
amall "adaptor" to the shell, while the
hell itself rest on the mouth of the
gun In a sort of a cup.
The "adapter" I a metal bar,, which
fits perfectly Into the bore of the gun.
Being expelled It takes with It the shell,
which promptly separates Itself and con
tinues Its flight alone to fall In a trench
where Itr explosion demolishes earth
work ao arduously prepared by the
allies. : To visualise how It leave the
howltxer one haa but to Imagine a small
boy placing a cherry with a pin thrust
In It over the mouth of a blow gun. The
i'Mlnenwurfer's" ahell Is the cherry;
the "adapter" the pin. ' '
Bhel Travels Blow.
The voloclty of the shell Is low only
230 feet per second. The lowest elevation
from which It la tired Is forty-five de
gree, an angW at which the shell travels
560 yard. Eighty degree I the highest
angle at which It may be fired an eleva
tion uaod when trenches are only 190
yards apart
Traveling alowly toward a trench with
the annoying leisure of a lobbed tennis
ball, the course ot the shell ma be
plainly followed. Men can dodge It, but
tta explosive Interior works havoc with
the trench. Thla 1 all that 1 expected
ot It Though account from the allied
front have given no circumstantial ac
count of what It ha done as a destruc
tive agent, the effect can be surmised
when one Is reminded that four pounds
of dynamite la considered sufficient to
demolish breastworks from two to three
feet In thickness.
The weight of the gun Itself is only 130
pounds and its mounting weighs thirty
pound lea. It la attached, however, to
a heavy bed, or platform, weighing nearly
1.000 pounds. Yet with the whole prop
erty wheeled, two men can readily trans
port It short distance under normal condition.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
OSTEND. Belghim, Nov. a.-The nor
mal life of this usually lively city haa
been radically changed by the German
military occupations Inhabitant are for
bidden to leave their houses between T In
the evening and 7 In the morning and no
light may be shown during that time.
No one can leave the town without pass
ports from the German authorities.
The usual market gatherings are almoat
suspended. Villages from outside Ostend
can com In only when attended by their
burgomaster and the market hour are
limited to Monday and Thursday morn-
inga All horses have been taken by the
military authorities, so only dog carts
can oe used to bring food Into the town.
Butter, eggs, meat and vesretables
cheap, but Ostend Is without fish be
cause all rishermen have fled to England
FTehlng would be Impossible, because all
civilians are forbidden to approach the
coast and the Inhabitants of houses along
the seashore have been expelled.
Military Vatna- Trams.
The railway and electrlo trams have
been atopped for everything except mili
tary purposes and are being used night
and day for aendlng provisions to the
front and bringing back wounded. Little
ia left of what formerly were Weatende,
Dixmude, Schoore, Kamskeppelem, St
Plcters, Capelle and Menneksvere, and
over 150 farms in the neighborhood have
been destroyed.
Hundreds of wounded Belgians and
French are brought to Ostend and Ihose
who can stand the journey are aent along
to Germany. A dosen or more Germans,
dead from their wounds, are hurled here
every day. The wounded allies are well
cared for by tbe German.
Ostend Is without newspapers, soap, oil.
candles and coffee. The Germans have
made heavy requlatlon not not only of
foodstuffs in large quantities, but ot
cigars and wine and all available mat
tresses and covers aa well a clothing,
linen, wire and bicycle. For the prop
erty taken the Germans have given requi
sition note amounting to 11,000,000. The
hotels are occupied by German officers,
who live on the best of everything. Oer
man bands play In the park every day,
but have only the Germans aa audiences,
because the Belgian who are left boy
cott them.
LONDON'. Nov 29. There Is Imminent
danger that driven desperate by hunger,

commissioner doing relief work in
Msastrlcht Holland.
The commissioner cites a statement made
by a refugee, which was confirmed by
others, in which a Belgian says:
"In Berchem (two mile southeast of
Antwerp) and the neighboring villages
there haa been for some time no food
available except what was got through
the commission. At Berchem the Ger
mans stored the food which they seised
at Antwerp and which they stated was
being sent to Brussels. Consequently the
people while starving see quantities of
food within reach. Meetings are being
held nightly where the chances of success
In attacking the German, garrison and
taking possession of the food are seriously
discussed."
In the suburbs, the commissioner's re
port says, refugees declared there was
virtually a food famine. The inhnbltants
were dependent solely upon the commls
ion' distribution and when the supply
temporarily became exhausted privation
at once ensued.
The conditions at Louvaln, refugees
atate, are still worse. The people are
actually starving and are living in ruins

Dogs Performing Big
Service to French in
And Around Battles
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
PARI 8, Nov. 24. Lovers of dogs will
be gratified to know that so imposing
an organisation as the Institute of Zoo
logical Psychology reports that the dogs
that accompany the French ambulances
are behaving well under fire. The di
rector of this Institute testifies: "All re
ports are most encouraging. Some of
the details of their instructions may be
bpen to question. It Is probably bad that
they should be taught to bring In the
cap and handkerchlefa of wounded
oldiers, but our dog of war" are per
forming noteworthy service, and it is a
pity that we have not many more of
them."
The leader of one section of the am
bulance dogs says: "The best dog given
to me at first nulled ao hard
that he tired me out; he would not al
ways return on the first call, a trick that
would be unfortunate under fire; he was
terrified even by distant artillery, and It
appeared aa If he would be useless In
action, nut in a week that dog was
valuable beyond words. I have today re
turned with him from
wounded soldiers almost In the enemy's

were to return J took him out for one

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS
OVERWORKED?
How They Fight v
Uric Acid.
If you eat, meat, then you have urlo
acid In your blood. And uric acid i the
chltf causo of wenk kidneys. The kidneys
do their utmost to free the blood of Irri
tating uric acid, but It 1 a losing fight
for them. Tncy become weuk lroin the
overwork. They get sluggish; the eilinl
native tissues clog and lnus the work of
filtering the blood Is pcrloi rued very
poorly and the waste Is retained to poison
tne entire system.
When your kidneys throb with a dull
acho, alien they feci like lumps of lead,
when you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, tired feel
ing, constipation and bladder disorders,
you ran make up your mind that these
troubles come from weak, sluggish kid
neys. ou can help the weakened kldneV and
put them In good working order again by
asking your druggist for about five
ounces of Rheumasalts. Take two tea
spoonfuls In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few mornings and the
result will eurpripe you.
Rheumasalts act quickly without grip
ing or nausea. It is delicious to take, it
Is a uric acid solvent as well as a saline
laxative delightfully effervescent.
These famous salts are very inexpen
sive. Every one can profitably take a lit
tle Rheumasalts occasionally to keep the
klcTneys clean, working and efficient.
Rheumasalts Is prepared by tho famous
Rheumabath Company, Minneapolis, Minn.
