COMING TO
OMAHA
Dr. Leonard, noted Rupture Spec
ialist, -with hearquarters at Minne-
polis, Minn., will be at the Henshaw
ilotel in Omaha for two days only.
Tuesday and Wednesday, May 1 and
2, where he will treat all cases of
rupture, no matter how long stand
ing. Dr. Leonard says: "A ruptured pa
tient fitted with an appliance, prop
erly constructed and correctly put on,
is as strong as normal and should on
no account fail to build up and har
den the muscles of the abdomen."
To effect a cure with a truss, rup
ture must be held at internal ring
at all times and avoid all pressure
on spermatic cord and pubic bone.
Dr. Leonard has specialized in the
treatment of rupture for 20 years
and positively guarantees to hold
your rupture with his patented appli
ance at all times, regardless of occu
pation. He does not use elastic belt,
springs or leg straps.
This appliance is indorsed by
leading physicians.

Voice Scarcely Audible
The entire service was conducted
with the traditional precision of
British royal events. Only when the
bride was called upon by the arch
bishop of Canterbury to repeat the
solemn ritual:
"I take thee to be my wedded
husband," did her manner betoken
any sign of nervousness. Her voice
was scarcely audible to the vast con
gregation. The bridegroom gave the impres
sion of a man at happy ease. Queen
Mary wore a solemn, severely digni
fied expression and kept her eyes up
on the bridal couple throughout. The
venerable Dowager Queen Alexandra
gave the regal ceremony a human
touch by moving out of her place and
bestowing kisses upon the members
of the party as they came within the
chancel.

mony.
REACTION AGAINST TAX-EX
EMPT SECURITIES GROWS
The reaction against increased
taxation and the issuance of tax
exempt securities is growing, says a
writer in The Chicago .Tribune, who
points out that there was a slight
check in the issue of tax exempt se
curities In 1922.
"Is It the beginning of an ebb or
pause for a fresh start?" he asks.
"Figures now available show that
$1,072,484,000 worth of municipals
were issued in 1922 against $1,208,
768,000 in 1921. This decrease is
encouraging perhaps, but when it is
recalled that these figures follow
such totals as $683,188,000 In 1920
and $691,519,000 in 1919, the total
of 1922 bulks big enough. There
were $344,415,000 of farm loan is
sues floated in 1922.
"The reaction against more bonds
is already pronounced in many places
and is spreading fast. Many others
have had to curtail the police and
hygienic fundamentals of govern
ment. Everywhere figures are being
eagerly read showing the percent
age or taxes now devoted to
ment of interest alone.
Farmers especially are reacting
against more bond issues, because in
so many places they have found it
almost impossible to pay their local
taxes."

The contract for the University of
Nebraska stadium was awarded Wed
nesday evening by the building com
mittee to the Parsons Construction
company, of Omaha, the lowest bid
der. All the bids had deductions for
portions of the work which can be
temporarily postponed. The low bid
for the entire construction, but not
including the grading, was $548,
849, which is $100,000 more than
has been subscribed. A decision is
to be reached at once as to just what
features will be omitted for the pres
ent to bring the amount within the
funds available.
The contract calls for the use of
the stadium during the football sea
son next fall, regardless of the con
tractor's convenience in completing
the work. Sections B, C, D and F on
the west are to be completed within
120 .calendar days after signing of
the contract, as to .concrete work.
Thirty additional days are to be al
lowed for placing the railing and
wooden seats, as the concrete must
first be allowed to settle. For the
similar sections on the opposite side,
140 days from the award are to be
allowed, with an additional month
for the railing and seats.
In addition to the bid of the suc
cessful Omaha firm, bids were receiv
ed from the Olson Construction com

Washington, April 26.- Secretary
of Interior Work was asked today by
Senator Howell of Nebraska to de
termine whether the islands in the
Platte river In Garden county, Ne
braska, were government lands or
the property of the citizens who-own
the lands on the banks of the river
opposite the islands.
The status of the islands has
caused a sharp division of opinion
among government officials and has)
brought forth an interesting angle j
whether the Islands existed when the :
Nebraska survey of 1875 was made;
or have formed since. The ownership i
of the islands depends on this point.
Several of the islands are over two
miles in length and are considered
very valuable property.
Bequest for Survey
The question arose when Arthur
Savord, of Omaha, recently request
ed the government to survey the is
lands and make them open to set
tlers as public lands. United States
Surveyor Sweitzer, of Neligh, Neb.,
also recommended that they be sur
veyed and made available for public
land grants. This immediately brot
forth a storm of protests from the
owners of the land on each side of
the river opposite the islands. They
claimed that the islands were part
of their property. .
When brought to the attention of
George "R. WTickham, assistant pub
lic land commissioner, he disagreed
with both Sweitzer and Savord. He
contends the islands have formed
since the survey of 1875 and there
fore are the property of the people
1875 and that through an error on
the part of the government surveyors
they wore omitted in the survey of
l$7f. He aud Mr. Savord have pre
sented to Secretary Work affidavits
from residents of Garden county,
who assert they were living in 1875
when the survey was made and that
the islands were there at the time.
Mr. Sweitzer also argues that the
