Police "Sponge"
Squad Obtains
Rum Conviction
KMt'nre Sojipfl Up by Raid,
ing Officers When Alcohol
Spilled Over
Floor.
Sponges carried by nirmlirri of
the police mural squad in a raid at
8 Tuesday night, led to the convic
tion oM.eslie Overbay, J4, 1215
South Sixteenth itrcet, in central
polire court Wednesday morning on
a charge of unlawful possession of
li(itor.
When the officers, ted by Strut.
Gardner, broke through the front
i!oor of the Overbay home and rush
ed to the rear door, they found the
contents of a five-gallon ju spread
ing over the porch.
Soppinjr it up with sponges, they
saved nearly one-half pint of the
bipior and introduced it in court,
dirty and untempting, as alcohol.
Sops Up Evidence,
The only other evidence was five
ounces of alcohol found in a medicine
bottle, and one-third of a pint of al
cohol in a whisky bottle, Overbay,
who has an artificial leg, testified he
used the liquor as a rub.
"While his wife stalled us at the
front door, Overbay rushed to the
back porch with the jug and burst
it." Frank ' Killian. member of the
morals squad, testified. "When we
broke through and rushed to the
rear, he met us and said, 'It's no
use, boys, it's all gone' but we
sopped up enough for evidence."
Judge Charles roster fined Uvcr
bav $100 and the prisoner took an
appeal to district court. His bond
was signed by James Blundell, 207
botith 1 hirtecnth street, who quali
fied for $300.
Will Fight Case.
J. F. Overbay, professional bonds
man, Overbay's father, was present
and willing to sign, but did not at
tempt to qualify.
"I have qualified for as much as
$80,000," he said, "but in the opinion
of judge Foster my moral character
is not up to standard and he would
not accept me. I am behind my son
and we'll fight this case to the last
ditch."
J. F. Overbay said he expected to
show in district court that his son
dropped the jug of "medicinal alco
hol" when five officers rushed at
him and one "stuck a gun in his
back."

Jr. Carter reports that cornfields
are unsually clean and in some lo

cultivated, for the lat time. Winter
wheat was injured in some section,
the greatest damage being in south
ern counties, ripening prematurely
and canning dhriveling. Harvest will
be general next week, according to
the report.
Oats are in poor condition: other
small grains are in lair to good con
dition, as are pastures, g&Ttkn and
potatoes, while second crop alfalfa
will be short. Mr. Carter states.
Fruit was slightly damaged in some
localities and more rain is needed,
he says.

II. A. Toland to
Follow Stiring
as U. P. Auditor
Retail Credit Men to Meet
at Hotel Fontenelle Today
Municipal Judge R. W. Patrick's
recent decision regarding the con
tracting of debts by a wife and the
husband's liability in such a case has
created a stir in credit men's circles.
A special meeting of the Associa
ted Retail Credit bureau and Credit
Men has been called for this evening
at 6:30 in the palm room of Hotel
Fontenelle.
C. L. Waldron of the law firm of
Wharton & Waldron will discuss the
Patrick decision.
Attendants to the Cleveland con
vention will give several five-minute
talks on the value to credit men and
women received from attending the
Retail Credit Mien's national conven
tion. '
The business meeting will be pre
ceded by a dinner.
A lot of money is being spent this
week for fireworks. That's all very
well. No one wants to kill the joy
of children who look forward a
Lwhole year to celebrating Independ
ence day in this time-honored tasn
ion. But there's another way of look
ing at this thing. The price of one
Roman candle or pinwheel will also
buy a quart or two of milk.
What has milk to do with fire
crackers? Only this many poor
babies in Omaha are suffering for
want of cool, fresh milk to nourish
their little bodies and help them
grow to a sturdier childhood.
The price of several firecrackers,
subtracted from your proposed pur
chases, or an equal amount sent to
The Bee Free Milk and Ice fund,
will make you enjoy your Fourth o:
July better. The fund stands as fol

very good results and some of my girl
friends are taking it now. You may
use this letter to help other girls, as
the letters in your book helped me."
Rose Waidner, 3018 Koseland
Place, Baltimore, Md.
That is the thought so often es-
ressed in letters recommending
ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. These women know what they
have suffered, they describe their
Bymptoms and Btate how they were
finally made well.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is a medicine made from
medicinal roots and herbs, and without
drugs, to relieve the sickness women
bo often have, which is indicated by
backache, weak feelings, nervousness,
and no ambition to get anything done
or to go anywhere. It nas helped
many women. Why not try it?
"June Group" of Rotarians
Gives Its Last Program
The "June group" of the Rotary
club gave its final entertainment at

ous phases of vapor heating appar

Angeles, telling of the work and plans
taken up at the meeting. Harold
Thompson, who acted as chairman,
was complimented on having ar
ranged one of the most successful
programs of the season.
Prayer Each Day
His faith Is counted tor righteousness.
-Rom. 4:6.
Almighty Father, Shepherd and
Bishop of our souls, lift upon us the
Light of Thy countenance. We
thank Thee that it is possible for us
to approach the unveiled mercy seat.
We come not in our own name, nor
do we plead any merit in ourselves.
Our hope is in Christ, Thy beloved
Son, crucified for us. He bore our
sins in His own body on the tree,
and by His stripes we are healed.
Let Thy benediction rest upon this
family circle. Help us to keep the
fire of gratitude and devotion burn
ing on Thine altar. Give us grace
to overcome evil in the day of temp
tation. Give us courage in the hour
of adversity, and humility in prosper
ity. Help us to live as in Thy sight;
doing Thy will with alacrity and
cheerfulness. Give wisdom and in
tegrity of purpose, we pray Thee, to
all those in authoriey over us, that
in the administration of public af
fairs they may "do justly, and love
mercy." We invoke Thy special
blessing upon the household under
this roof, that we may not disap
point Thy gracious will concerning
us. Bestow Thy heavenly grace
upon father, mother and children, so
that we may be worthy to have a
place in the Great Family of God,
which shall, by and by, enter upon
their eternal inheritance. Thanks to
Thee for victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Amen, and Amen.
