cently started to Texas. He Is charged by

gaged property , a , full account of which ap

cause of tlio despondency of Mrs. Do Haai
Is the impending notoriety which must fol

Indian Territory Itun by Itnbben and lion *

LITTLE IIOCK , Ark. , Nov. 16. In the
opinion ot Major C. B. Moore , a prominent
attorney ot this city , who has Just returned
from a trip to the Indian territory , where
Bandit Bill Cook and his reckless followers
hold sway , the situation In the territory U
Indescribable. There is practically no such
thing as an enforcement of the law and tha
bandits are virtually unmolested in tholr
appalling depredations. Major Moore spent
several days at Muskogee nnd Fort Gibson ,
and he says the business men and property
owners there are panic-stricken nt the com
plete commercial paralysis resultant from the
reign of lawlessness. Not half of the crimes
committed find place In the newspapers ; In
fact the halt has not been told of tha
terrtblo condition of affairs. Organized band :
go from place to place , plundering right and
left , and adding murder to their category oi
crimes when resistance Is offered to them.
Marshal Crump and his men are sparing
no efforts to protect property and life , but
they seem to bo powerless to check the
sway ot the bandits. Major Moore says tha
situation is growing worse all the time.
Crime Is congenial to a heavy percentage ol
territory population , hence there Is , ol
course , strong opposition from a certain
contingent to a change In the present run oi
things.

Theory of Such Imports for This Country
Considered n > Absurd.
KB WYORK , Nov. 16. It Is generally be
lleved tn banking circles that the 200,00 (
cor signed to the Bank ot British Nortt
America Is for Canadian account and has n <
connection with the recent government bone1
Issue. H will be recalled that the Domlnlot
of Canada recently placed an Issue ot bondi
abroad on a 4 per cent basis and It is no
unlikely that this shipment Is in payment
for some ot these bonds.
Foreign bankers characterize the rumors o
gold imports at this tlmo aa preposteroui
and say that the import ot gold would bi
equivalent to selling gold at $ i.S7 % ; tha
the purchasers of bonds for foreign accoun
can find a ready market for their bills , owini
to the low price of exportable commodltlc :
and the excellent demand for remitters , am
that there Is no need of any such operatloi
as gold Imports being made unless the prlci

Work of Relieving Sufferers from the Drouth
Begun in Omaha.
MEETING OF THE COMMISSION YESTERDAY
Secretary Luitden Describes the Meed and
Tolls WInit Must Ita Done to .Meet tha
Condition Wlmt lias Already
llocn Accomplished.
A meeting ot the Nebraska State Relief
commission was held at President Nason's
rooms , 407 Brown block , yesterday afternoon.
This commission Is an organization created
by tha governor , and baa distributing agents
ot Its own selection In ail counties where
suffering from loss ot crops exists. In this
work the commission knows no church or
creed. Its aim Is to Judiciously distribute
to the people according to their needs ,
This city has been districted , and several
churches have taken up the work of solicit
ing subscriptions of clothing , food and fuel.
The Commercial club has also manifested
an Interest In the work. Citizens of Omaha
will be asked to assist In helping the desti
tute In the agricultural districts , for which
this city is tha chief distributing point com
mercially.STATEMENT
STATEMENT OF THE NEED.
In connection with tho- work and needs ot
the relief commission Secretary Luddcn said :
"I deslro to call your attention to the \\ork
of our commission'the manner tn which It
Is progressing , and the very Imperative de
mand that Is made upon us for aid. Since
the cold wave struck our state , a few days
ago , the demand has gone beyond the supply.
It seems to me that the citizens of Omaha ,
as the commercial metropolis ot the state ,
should In some way be aroused to take a
more active part in the work than they have
thus 'far shown , Four years ago your city
did nobly In the response that it made. My
recollection Is that we received but very lit
tle until a public meeting was called , to which
tbo newspapers gave most loyal support ,
Whether It was because of the most oppor
tune evening for presenting the needs of the
relief work that brought the generous re
sponse I am unable to say. You remember
that It was about the first real cold , stormy
spell that wo had when the meeting' was
held , and you had simply to call attentlor
to the suffering of the people In the face ol
such cold and storm , and within forty-clghl
hours after that meeting was held Omalu
had contributed her first one hundred can
of coal. Now the situation In many re
spects , In many parts ot the state , IB ever
worse than at that time. I flo not know thai
I ought to specify the counties , and yet I
cannot help calling your attention to somf
parts of the state , say Boyd county , when
It Is only thrco years from the breaking
The people having expended their all up t <
this crop , had some reason to expect some re
turn now from their labor , but everything li
swept away from them. They are In a trul ;
pitiable condition and have no teed am
not the proper clothing. They must b
helped almost Immediately or simply starve
The county has no resources , no posslbli
means of helping them , and what we say o
Boyd county we can say of many other coun
ties In the state , such as Custcr , Lincoln
Perkins , Chase , Hitchcock , Frontier , Shermat
and others , only that they are not Just threi
years from the breaking. The appeals an
coming In upon us forty to fifty a day. I
each one would do a little , each of the cltlei
In our state do Its share , we could can
nicely for all of our destitute. The same cr ;
that was raised against the cities contrlbu
ting to this work four years ago , we hoa
today. We have BO many poor and need ;
at our homes , and yet the people will recal
that with all the needy and : the general re
sponse that was given , no one starved or auf
fercd because of the supplies that wer
shipped out of these cities.
"Wo have distributed already a larg
amount of supplies. They have come frofl
generous-heartedl , noble people of the ast
not as a response to personal appeals mad
by individuals who have left our state to gi
east soliciting , but mainly through the varl
ous newspaper articles that have beoi
printed concerning our various conditions
These supplies from abroad will soon ceas
coming. It will bo at least three month
before any provision could be made , If th
legislature should bo so Inclined , as to car
for them. I hope tho-people of Omaha ca :
wheel In line with those who are now con
trlbuting and aid us In this hour of distress
I know they will never regret It , and whe
a year rolls around they will never know
except as they see It In printed reports , tha
they have contributed to this work. A smai
amount of money from each one will go
great way In the procuring of fuel. The rail
roads of the state are doing their part I
free transportation for our supplies , and
hope that the people will do their part 1
giving something to carry. "

COX TOOK THE RIDE.
Pushed by ItUhop In n Ilolcomb Wioclbur-
rotr n UUtunco of Two Allies.
One of the most novel election bets ot the
season was paid off and settled last night , to
the amusement and satisfaction of a largo
crowd of Holcomb men.
Prior to the. election , J. W. Bishop and E.
D. Cox , both doing business on Sherman ave
nue , made a bet. Bishop was willing to
stake any and everything that Tom Majors
would win In the gubernatorial race , while
Cox was Just as s'uro that Judge Holcomb
would come undet the wire several laps
ahead of his competitor. With this feeling
taking possession of the two minds , the two
men made the bet , the terms of which were
that the loser should give the winner a wheel
barrow ride from Locust street to Slxte&nth
and Farnam streets. There was also a side
bet between Joe Redman , backing Holcomb ,
and Henry Rachman , standing up for Majors.
The condition of this bet was that the loser
should precede the wheelbarrow and toot a
horn during the entire Journey.
It having been settled to the satisfaction of
all that' Judge Holcomb had been elected , Cox
and Redman declare'd last night that the bets
should bepaid. . Bishop and Rachman pro
tested for a time , but at last they gave In ,
and at 8 o'clock last night the procession
started on the trip , preceded by some fifty
admiring Holcomb men , carrying torches
and blowing horns. The wheelbarrow was
decked with flags , while upon the vehicle
rode ( Jox In all his glory , Rachraan marching
ahead and blowing a horn that reached out
Into the night a distance of some , ten feet.
Bishop blowed and puffed like a porpoise , but
shortly after 9 o'clock he deposited his man
at tha Sixteenth and Farnam streets Inter
section , having covered a distance of nearly
two miles.

waylay a dramatic reporter for favorable
puffery. " There Is a coldness In "Tho County
Fair" company because ot the Impolitic re
mark ot one actor to another.

ieen aald that these curls are the Invention
of the ono supposed to bo responsible for all
naughty but nice things. This Is not true.
Delia Fox sprung the first forehead curl on
. Wang audience one night , and on that fore-
icad It still hangs , like an Inverted Interro-
ratlon point , asking , "Where am I at ? "
There are other curls , however. That of
Jlauche Walsh Is a twisted affair , while
Jarollno Mlskel Hoyt's Is large and compre
hensive a "fairy hammock In which to
swing sweet dreams. " The curl of Anna
J'Keefe , though fascinating , has a consmnp-
'Ivo look. It had originally six hairs , nowhere
hero are less. Lulu Glaser ha& a generous
curl , which Is more like a thatch for the
eyes than anything else ; while Marie Temp
est's is like a letter S. The curl ol Kate
Davis Is characteristic , like herself. It Is
n the shape of a ring , large enough for a
jracelet , .and plastered down in anything but
coquettish fashion. Of course Lillian Rus
sell's Is a work of art. It resembles noth-
ng so much as a wisp of burnished gold
dangling between her oycs. The curl of
Amanda Pabrls Is of the wuzzy-buzzy variety ,
and that of Miss Julia Arthur Is of the coil
and twisting , spell binding sort , The most
lachrymose curl In New York at this time Is
the ono of Miss Olga Nethersole. . Pathos
and tears seem to dangle from every point ,
and It hooks from the side with a sorrowful
twist. Juliet Cordon has a curl of the
"touch-me-not" variety. Julia Marlowe has
three , each one a poem , and Gladys Wallls
two , while Johnstone Bennett Is noticeable
from having none at all.

Saved His Life
by a fortunate dis
covery in the nick of
time. Hundreds of
pcraono suffering ;
from consumption
have bad the pro
gress of the dlseaso
stopped , nnd have
been bronchi back to
vfc and heaith by ih °
iDlscovcry" of Dr.
- Fierce.
Years ago Dr. R , V. Pierce , now chief
consulting ; physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo , N , Y. ,
recognizing the fact that consumption was
essentially a perm disease , nnd that a rem
edy whlcli would drive the certns ami their
poisons from the blood would cure consump
tion , at lost found n medicine which cured 98
per cent , of all cases , if taken In tue earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs belnpr irritated by
the Rcrnis nnd poisons in the blood circulat
ing throueh them , the germs find lodgment
there , nnd the lungs begin to break down.
Soon tbc.general health begins to fail , and
the person feels languid , weak , faint , drowsy
and confused.
This Is the time to take Dr. Tierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery : it drives the germs
and poisons from the blood , and has a sooth
ing effect upon the dry cough. In canes of
bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable.
"Golden Medical Discovery" increases the
amount and quality of the blood , thus Invig
orating and fortifying the system against dis
ease and builds up wholesome flesh and
strength after wasting diseases , as fevers
pneumonia , grip and other debilitating af
fections. . w _
