Opponents of Mrs,
Manchester Cited
On Contempt Charge
Lincoln, April 17. On application
of Mrs. Emma B. Manchester the Ne
brasaka supreme court Monday issued
an order citing Mary E. La Rocca
and eleven other members of the ex
ecutive council of the Woodmen Cir
cle to appear before the" court April
23, and show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt. Mary
E. La Rocca was elected supreme
guardian of the Woodmen Circle at
a recent meeting at Memphis, Tenn.,
and it is alleged she installed herself
in that office, previously held and still
claimed by Mrs. Manchester and has
taken forcible possession of the quar
ters in Omaha. In doing this, it is al
leged, the members of the executive
council are violating a former injunc
tion of the court directing them not
rb interfere with Mrs. Manchester,
Widow Scorns Black Hand;
"Just Want My Apartment"
When Mrs. Anna C. Christiansen,
a widow, found a crude "black hand"
warning on her door Monday, she
did not fear any sort of vendetta or
similar plot, but concluded that some
body who wanted her flat was trying
to scare her out. She consulted Chief
of Detectives Maloney, who told her
to have no fear. 1
"I know some people want to rent
the flat I live in with my daughter,"
she said. "I don't intend to give it
up, however.1'
Mrs. Christiansen exhibited a piece
of corrugated paper board, on which
had been drawn a crude black hand
and the words, "Beware, Black-hand."

Orient Road Again
Placed in Hands
Of U. S. Receiver
Topeka, Kan., April 17. (Special
Telegram.) The Kansas City, itexico
& Orient Railroad Co. is again in the
hands of a receiver. The petition of
the note holders' committee last night
was filed in the federal court here.
Judge J. C. Pollock appointed W. T.
Kemper of Kansas City as receiver,
and Axed his bond at $50,000. Mr.
Kemper gave the bond and took
charge of the property at midnight
The Orient has been on the finan
cial rocks ever since the European
war started. When it was taken out
of the hands of a .receiver the old
bondholders evolved a plan of reor
ganization, which has failed. They is
sued $6,000,000 in two-year gold notes
to pay the purchase price and take up
some other outstanding debts.
No part of the gold notes, all of
which felll due on July 1, 1916, has
been paid, nor has any interest been
paid since the day they fell due. An
cilliary proceedings will be filed in the
federal court of Missouri at Kansas
City and the federal court of Okla
homa at Guthrie. The suit is directed
against the Orient lines in Kansas and
Oklahoma and against the stock and
bonds of the Orient in Texas and
the bonds of the Orient in Mexico.
The receivership suit is a step for
a new plan of reorganization, which
D. W. Eaton, who filed the papers,
says will be -worked out within the
next six months.
"If the new plan succeeds," said
he, "the Orient will have the smallest
capitalization per mile of any big
railroad in the United States."

COSTLY AFFAIRS ARE TABOO
"In this time of stress and strain it
would be unbecoming in the Woman's
club to have anything in the nature
of the 'blow-out,'" objected Mrs. K.
R. J. Edholm when it was proposed
that the Omaha Woman's club cele
brate its birthday anniversary on
April 24.
"I have just returned from a gath
ering of women in New Orleans,
where all plans for festivities were
given up. I want to sound the note
of economy here.
"Let the women who are sending
boys and men to the front stay at
home to bid them good-bye. I don't
wish to throw a damper over any
party, but I must express myself
against entertaining." When it was
explained that the idea of the club
was only to have a get-together meet
ing with such light refreshments as
punch or ice, Mrs. Edholm signified
her approval of the plan.
It was decided that the "birthday
party" will take the nature of an aft
ernoon reception and mur.icale at the
Blackstone.
Should the war situation be quiet
enough to make it expedient, the exe
cutive committee will arrange for the
annual summer luncheon.
Saturday at 2:30 o'clock the club
will plant a tree in celebration of Ar
bor day at the House of Hope. An
nouncement of the "clean-up" cam
paign, sponsored by the club, was
made by Miss Katherine Worley,
chairman of the civics committee.
Farmers of Northwest Are
Called on to Plant More Wheat
Washington, April 17. Farmers of
the spring wheat belt, particularly
those of North Dakota, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Washington, Mon
tana and Idaho, were called upon by
Secretary Houston to plant more
wheat immediately to make up the
serious shortage threatened by un
promising condition of the winter
crop.
Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Laxative
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedy for
Constipation
In every family there is more or
less occasion for a laxative remedy. It
is to meet this need that Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin is prepared and
that this combination of simple laxa
tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur
pose is proven by its place in thou
sands of American homes.
Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog, the well
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna
St., Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Dr.
Caldwell that he has used Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider it indeed a friend
in need and always keep a bottle of
it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is a condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation, because the very vio
lence of their action shocks the entire
system. A mild laxative, such as Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is far pref
erable, being mild and gentle in its
action, without griping or other pain
or discomfort; its freedom from all
opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an
ideal remedy for children.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents a bottle. To avoid imitations
and ineffective substitutes be sure to
get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See
that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's sig
nature and his portrait appear on the
yellow carton in which the bottle is
packed. A trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 455 Washington St.,
Monticello, Illinois.
Amazing Power of Bon-Opto

will be glad to know that according to Dr.
Lewii there la real hope and h!p for them.
Many whoae eyes were fatllnir say they have
bad their eyes restored by thli remarkable
prescription and many who once wore glaasea
nay they have thrown them away. One
man says, after using It: "I wai almost
blind. Could not are to read at all. Now
I can read everything without my fflaeses
and my eyes do not hurt any more. At
night they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle
to me." A lady who used It lays: "The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after ualng this prescription for
fifteen days everything aer.na clear. I can
read even fine print without glasses." An
other witO used it says: "I wan bothered
with eyestrain caused by overworked, tired
eyes, which Induced fierce headaches. I
have worn glaases for several years, both
for distance and work, and without them
I could not read my own name on an en
velope or the typewriting on the machine
before me, I can do both now and have
discarded my lona; distance glasses alto
gether. I can count the fluttering leaves
on the trees across the street now, which for
aeveral years have looked like a dim green
blur to me. I cannot express my Joy at
what it has done for me."
It Is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them In a reason
able time and multitudes more will be
able to strengthen their ayes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting; glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions may be wonderfully benefited
by the, use of this prescription at homo. Go
to any active drug store and get a bottle of
Bon-Opto tablets. Urop one Bon-Opto tablet
in a fourth of a glass of water and lot
It dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes
two to four times dally. You should not. re
your eyes clear up perceptibly right from
the start, and Inflammn tlon and rednxs
will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother
you even a little it Is your duty to take
steps to save them now before It Is too
late. Many Ihopeleesly blind might have
saved their sight If they had cared for
their eyes In time.

whom the above article was submitted, wald:
