nntl no effort will bo spared to urge upon
every voter the Importance of early enroll

rcGlHtcrliiK officials "What political party
do you desire to affiliate with ? " will bo the
pertinent Inquiry leveled nt each applicant
for a place on the tlng list. This question
will not , lie prompted by tho. Idle curiosity
of the oinclal propounding It , nor by any
reprehensible ambition on his part to pr >
Into the Hccr-ls of the \otcr , but because the
law dlrcclH him to ask It.
The law effecting this requirement was
Introtlu'i-d at the last scbslon by Senator
Van Duron of Uouplas county and approved

Viirloii * PrnilNlnnx.
The law further provides that the com
mittee or governing authority of any polit
ical party desiring to conduct a primary

1,1'KnI Opinion * .
A number of attorneys were consulted as
to the effect of the above provisions In cases
In which the voter demurs to the Inquiry
Into his political preferences , nnd all agreed
that any voter who does not care to answer
need encounter no obstacle to his preserv
ing the secrecy of his party affiliation , but
In order to do so ho must effectually re
linquish the right to participate ; in the
primaries of his party Immediately follovv-

crcilucof Hcnrt Trouble.
Heart trouble , nt least among the Ameri
cans , Is certainly Increasing and while this
may bo largely duo to the excitement nm
worry of American busliicb.i life , It Is moro
often the result of weak stomachs of pee
digestion.
Heal 01 ganlc dlsenso Is Incurable ; but no
one case In a hundred of heart trouble is
organic
The eloso relation bctwton heart trouble
nnd poor digestion is because both organs
nro controlled by the same great nerves , the
Sympathetic and rneumogabtrlc
In another way also the heart is affcctet
by Uxi form of poor digestion , which cause
gas and fermentation from half dlgcstci
food. There Is a feeling of oppression am
heaviness In the chest caused by r.rcsaur
of the dUvtcmlcd stomntd on the heart and
lungs , interfering with their action , hciico
nrlfoa palpitation and client breath.
Poor digestion nUo poisons the blood ,
making It thin nnd watery , which Irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to Improve the digestion and to
Insuio the prompt assimilation of food.
This ran be done by the regular use after
meils of some wife , pUnt > int and effective
dlgrt-tlve preparation llko Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets , which may bo found at most
drug Mores nnd which contain valuable ,
harmless digestive elements In a pleasant ,

ANIMUS OF IT IS EXPOSED
lij ClIlK-rl II. HitchcockSCCM Cront
Merit In it IMIimt Third Ward
Assessor Thomas Harrington of the Third
vard appears to have won the everlasting
gratitude and approval of the publisher of
ho World-Herald by singling out the North-
vestern Mutual Life Insurance company of
Milwaukee and listing It for taxation at a
valuation of $ . ' 15,000 on the claim that it
lolds over $1,000,000 of mortgages In Omaha.
} . M Hitchcock of the World-Herald , was
once accommodated with the loan of a very
argo sum of money out of the funds of this
company , the repayment of which he under-
ook to becuro by n mortgage upon a Tarnam
street block known as Bachelors' Head
quarters. When the tlmo came to settle.
litchcock was not ready , and the only al-
crnatlve left the company was to forccloso
ts mortgage. This it undertook to do , but
> y vorlaus pretenses an * through various
nfluences Hitchcock has had the appralso-
nentft and sales set abide and has carried
the case Into the federal court of appeals
ather than submit to the Infliction of a
deficiency judgment. The judgment at the
time It was rendered , was that Hitchcock
owed the company $82,939. When 1he prop
erty was sold to tatlsfy It , the company bid
, t In for $74 , SCO , leaving a deficiency of
SS.G79. There was no queetlon that Hltch-
: ock had received the money of the original
oan , aud none that the company was en
titled to get It back.
Thc o are the conditions , that have
prompted Hitchcock's paper to touch the
button on Its pulling machine and start It
In operation In lauding Abeesor Thomas Har
rington for placing a big assessment upon
this company , and at the same time Indulge
In an Incidental "aside" to the effect that
this company has quit loaning money In
Nebraska and started its reprebentatlvee
denounclnc the laws of the Kinto.
John Steel Is the local representative of
the Northwestern Mutual Life. When shown
the elongated puff given Arsessor Harring
ton , ho declined to discuss tbo case Involv
ing the mortgage , but gave some now facts.
Yes , I have seen the World-Herald article
you icfer to It Is almost too ridiculous
to make an explanation of. "We well know
tbo animus that prompted this iiutule ,
which I prefer not to speak about.

Harrington did not toll any ono of the
compauv's representatives here what ho
proposed to do , but tilled out his blnnk
and swore hlms-elf by himself that the
company should be assessed JJ15.000 on its
mortgages held In this county ,

OMAHA , Oct. 17. To the Editor of the
Dee As the time for registration of voters
who desire to vote at the ensuing election approaches
preaches , It might bo proper to give public
notice of a fact which may not bo generally
understood , that under an amendment of the
law pertaining to the qualifications of
electors at school flections , passed at the
last seBelon of the legislature , and found
In section 1 , chapter 59 of the session laws
of 1899 , women who desire to vote nt such
oletlon must first cause themselves to bo
registered the sa no as male electors.
U is porslblo that there may be slight
room for an opinion that this amendment
is in conflict with provisions on the same
subject found elsewhere In the statute aud
which have been neither repealed nor
amended In conformity thereto , but I be
lieve that upon an examination of the
whole subject. It will bo found that the
amendment referred to must prevail and
that women. If they would en&ure their right
to veto Ser school ofllcers at the coming
election , must llrst sumblt themselves for
registration the batne as men. Hespeetfully ,

The announcement of n republican meeting
In the Klghtb ward never falls to bring out
n good crowd of enthusiastic \otcrs to lend
to republican campaign movements thcli
countenance nnd earnest support The Ulghth
Ward Republican club met last night In
Wolff's hall , Twenty-second nnd fuming
streets , to henr the Irsues of the campaign
presented , nnd the meeting drew the ever-
ready largo attendance , nearly a hundred
votoiB being present.
President HCP Rowloy called first upon
Judge n. S. Uakcr. who responded nt con
siderable length nnd with evident effect Ho
protested ngalnst the efforts of the opposition
to fix the republican platform In the cam
paign , for It was sure to put In planks that
It could easily step through , while If the re
publicans make their own platform the oppo
sition never can break through It. lie
protested that there Is no Issue this year but
patriotism. Tor three years the opposition
had stuck to the free sliver Issue , contending
that conditions never could grow better un
der the republican financial policy , but the
day of prosperity Is certainly here , and seem
ingly hero to stay. Ho noticed evidences of
it , partcularly In the courts A few months
ago when the mimmons was sent oat for a
ury It was seldom that anyone summoned
was found seeking an excuse on account of
press of work , but the other day when the
summons went forth to 150 men only twenty-
nine were found ready to serve , and In nearly
every caeo the excuse offered was that the
party summoned had work to do that must
fiuffci' If ho left It In the campaign of 1S9G ,
and since , hundreds who had afllllntcd with
other parties were found marching In the
republican ranks and wearing republican
bidges because they were ashamed to follow
their parties , and ho believed that the same
condition will prevail In the campaign now
opening.
Hclev the "War Sltuntlon.
Now the opposition Is crying militarism
nnd Imperialism and building n republican
platform upon them. On tlm subject Judga
Ilakcr recounted the sttps ttiKen by the ad-
mlnlbtrutlon In the Spanish war , which was
conducted without thought of conquest , epohe
of the necessity of providing a stable govern
ment for the lands acquired by the treaty
with Spain , dwelt upon the fact that the rat
ification of the treaty with Spain and the In
crease of the army was favored by the rep
resentatives of all parties , Uryan even re-
nlgnlng his position In the volunteer army to
go to Washington and Induce his political
friends and followers to ratify the treaty.
That being the case , the opposition was as
much responsible for prevailing conditions as
the republicans. It Is not within the power
of the president to grant Independence to the
Filipinos , as that power lays with congress ,
and all that the president can In honor do Is
to maintain a government In United States
territory by carrying the flag -victory. . If
he were to criticise the administration It
would bo because the Filipinos are allowed so
long to continue In rebellion. The quicker
they are subdued the better It will bo for
them and for all concerned. Over 400 years
of Spanish rule o-ver them had left them still
but scantily clvlllred , but ho ventured the
assertion that fifty yeans under American
government will work wonders toward their
complete civilization. This talk about re
publicans favoring militarism and imperialIsm -
Ism js but another effort of the opposition
to fcol somebody.
AVJiUcr SpcnKN.
Charles C. Winter spoke -with telling
force and effect along practically the same
lines , calling attention to the fact that In
1882 Diyan was using the butcher knife In
his campaign to show that under a protec
tive tariff the country was cursed by high
prices , that In 1896 he was howling that the
republican financial policy was cursing the
country by low prices and that now again
ho Is crying that the trusts are cursing the
country with high prices. Turning to the
state campaign , he said that Holcomb had
been tried and found wanting , for had ho
been a man of courage ami Integrity ho
could have compelled an accounting by
Hartley at the end of his first term , as it was
his duty to do , and have thus saved the state
a large amount cf money. When the crucial
test had been applied to Judge Reese and ho
had been commanded to do that which
was wrong In his sight ho had declined to
comply. The speaker condemned the fuslon-
ista for their attempts to violate the Eaictlty
of the ballot In the supreme court recount
nnd In their succcfiiful disfranchising cf the
voters of Douglas county by unseating the
republican representatives from this county.
Ho paid an eloquent tribute to the. states
manship of President McKlnley In the con
duct of the war , and said tlmt twenty ycais
i from now his name would be revered with
those of Washington and Lincoln. Ho clo'al
with n confident prediction of the election
of every man oa the republican Judicial ,
county and city tickets nnd declared that the
republicans will plant their lUg this fall on
the dome of the capital , seat Judge Kecso
on the supreme bench , give President Mc
Klnley an unqualified endorsement and ab-
sure him of the electoral \oto in 1'JOO.
Till lieTnlU * .
Charles Tuttle responded to an Invitation
of the president and spoke for a few minutes
In a Ftrnln that stirred the crowd , Inter
spersing a few humorous stories. Ho dwelt
especially upon the conditions In the- Philip
pines that necessitate a continuance of the
policy of the administration until the In
surrection shall have been suppressed and
congress shall have declared a policy Ho
denounced Agulnaldo as a self-constituted
ruler who did not derive any authority from
the nilplnoB and with whom they are not In
sympathy , Mr. Tuttle closed with an appeal
for each of the candidates on the county
ticket , detailing the claims of each to full
republican support.
Short addresses were also delivered by
George McHrlde , K. J. Ilodwell , D M. Vin-
eonhalfr , D. M. Haverly and Hryco Craw
ford , urging the Importance of su-urlng a
full registration In the ward

AR a prelude to the meeting In the In-
tereat of the new- Choral society held In
Hospo's hall Tuesday night , a rare little
musical treat was given , which afforded In
troduction to two now musicians a vocalist
and an Instrumentalist and also gave the
listeners opportunity to hear favorite sing-
on who have been in the city for sonio time.
Much Interest w.is manlfeated In MlbS
Ulla Kthel Tree , the young pianist , who
create 1 such a furor Sunday at the Bellstcdt
concert and her playing electrified the se
lect audience present. She again displayed
a brilliant technit ] , but added much more
poetle fervor than at her first apnearance
the surroundings and the aud enco being
more conducive to good results.
Her first number was Moszskowski's
most renowned concert etude In R flat major ,
a piece of many dlfllcult pnsangce , the readIng -
Ing being alone n task of no mean proper
tions. The performer played the btudy as
though she loved It and gave the music a
fine Interpretation. After the flattering re
ceptlon that followed her appearance she
responded with Chopin's r sharp major
Impromptu , which was also received with
great enthusiasm.
The other musician was Mr. Garelssen ,
who displayed a bass \olco of exceptionally
good quality and tlmbro In "King Duncan's
Daughters" by Frances AlJItsen. Miss
Kellog sang- very sweetly "Without Thee"
by D'Hardelot and ns an encore gave "My
Wco Bird , " a berceuse by Roy Smith , a
Nebraska composer , who has caught the
ear of the public with several dainty songs.
A quartet , comprisingMrs. . Thomas J.
Kelly , Miss Bishop , Dan Wheeler and Mr.
Oarrelssen , sang "The Water Lily" by Gado
nnd "Good Night , Good. Night , Beloved" by
Plnsutl.
Mr. Hospo made n short speech outlining
the policy of the society , In which he urged
the pcoplo present to work for its succeso.
Mr. Kelly made a bright talk , recounting
the choral societies which had been organ-
bed In the past and telling how they one
by one had expired after moro or less use
ful cireers. Mr. GareJssen pledged his cf-
forti and hearty support In a short address.
The society was organized and J. M. Woolworth -
worth selected for president. W. S. Popple-
ton and n. I' . 1'cck were elected -ilco presi
dents , the executive committee and other
officers being left for a later meeting" Quite
a number of Omaha musicians have signi
fied their Intention of joining the organiza
tion and the prospoots at this time are very
flattering for a successful society before the
winter season opens.

Hcpalrs to the nsphalt pavement on
Twenty-fourth street cost the city about M.-
600 this year. The Rtrcet IS now In a fair
condition and It is expected that no moro
repairing will bo needed until next spring.
When It was first decided to make the re
pairs City Engineer Heal went over the
ground nt\d \ estimated that the expense would
bo $950. No action was taken by the council
for several wci'ks nftor this estimate wns
made nnd the holes In the pavement were
deeper so that when the making of actual
repairs commenced the cost of the work v\.ia
considerably Increased Mnvor Kn or sug
gested some tlmcngo that a contract be made
with some pivlng company to Keep the street
In first-class condition for a certain sum pi r
year He favored advertising foi bids for the
work and letting a contract to the lowest re
sponsible bidder This plan was Informally
dlsciKsed , but no action WOH taken by the
municipal family. City Knglneer neat also
favors n plin similar to the ono suggested
by the mayor. Mr Deal assorts that In
Omaha contracts are made with paving com
panies for the keeping In repair of asphalt
covered atreets , the city ptylng from 5 to S
cents per square yaid for the entire surface of
the street. Thcro Is In the Twenty-fourth
street pavement about 10,000 square
yards , and If a contract at 0 cents
a yard could be made \\\i \ \ ( wruld
mean $2,000 n year. Considering the
condition of the street nnd the ago of the
pavement , engineer Heal considers that a
contract at J2.000 a year would be n splendid
Investment for the city. The llfo of the pave
ment would be prolonged by such a contract ,
as the paving company would bo expected to
maKe repairs every couple of months , or as
often as holes appeared In the surface I'n-
less somothlng of the soil IB done It will be
only a short time before the entire pivc-
mcnt will have to be tclald.

The Denver Stockman has this to bav of
sheep feeding conditions In Nebraska ' The
big Nebraska ficders are getting down to
business. They have concluded that prices
on southein lamia are not too high when
the cheap corn Is considered. They are going
after the lambs now and buying them L ? "
train loads. Ano'her conclusion has been
reached , and which la In the main icsponsl-
blo for the hc.vvy buying going on now , not
only In the south , but the wett ns well The
beef supply available next spring does not
figure out as going to be as great .is the de
mand , consequently there Is n great likeli
hood that beef will be high. To counteract
this high market and to btipply such con
sumers as will not find themselves iblo to
buy the high priced beef all the tlmo there
Is a strong possibility that much mutton will
bo consumed , and thc'c sheep buyers are
getting ready for such demand.
"Tho latest purchase of forty carloids of
Now Mexico lambs and yearling wethcis by
a big Nebraska feeder at a cct , of 52 30 per
head at point of loading Is a price that can
not help but render a handsome profit when
marketing tlmo comes. "
Since January 1 over 810,000 sheep have
been marketed hero and It Is predicted that
heavy receipts of sheep will continue for
some tlmo to come. In order to prepare for
the Increase In the sheep trade which is ex
pected the stock yards company will shortly
commence the erection of another barn. The
plans for the new structure uie not entirely
completed , but will be before long.

"I wish to say to my suffer

to be free from those dreadful
diseases with which women
are so apt to be afflicted , take
Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I suffered for
four years. My troubles were '
leucorrhcea and irregular
menstruation. The menses
appeared too of ten , and lasted
too long. I became very poor ,
looked badly , had no appetite.
I felt as though death would
be a relief. My friends ad
vised me to take more out-
of-door exercise , but hardly
realized that I was too weak
to go out. I resolved to try
Mrs. Pinkham's medicines ,
and after taking several bottles
tles of Compound , also used
the Liver Pills and Sanative
Wash , I can truly say I am
enjoying a new life. Menses
have become regular , and
last the proper length of time.
1 feel better than I have for
ten years. I praise your
medicine to all my friends.
If any one would like to write
to me in regard to your Vege
table Compound , and what it
has done for me , I will gladly
answer their letter. "

you before , but since my re
covery I have been very busy.
1 had been sick ever since my
marriage , seven years ago ;
have given birth to seven
children , and had two miscar
riages. I had falling of womb ,
leucorrhcea , pains in back
and legs ; dyspepsia nnd a
nervous trembling of the
stomach. Now I have none
of these troubles nnd can en
joy my life. Lydia E. Pink-

Mrs. Dradish's Happy Letter ,
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM About two years ago I began to
run down and soon became almost a wreck. I lost my appe
tite and began to lose flesh ; my blood was impoverished nnd
I had to leave our store. The doctor gave me a little tonic ,
but I steadily grew worse nnd consulted another doctor. He
helped me in some ways , but my headaches continued , and I
began to have night sweats and my rest was so disturbed that
I would have hysteria and would cry and worry over business
matters and my poor health. Finally , husband took me South ,
but with benefit. This
no
was a year
ago ; no one can ever
know what a winter of misery I spent. Would bloat after
eating and was troubled with palpitation of heart and whites.
Having read by happy chance of your medicine. I bought it
and wrote for your advice , and before having fim&hed the
first bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , the
hysterics nearly stopped and I slept soundly. I used seven or
eight bottles with such benefit that I am as healthy as I can
ever remember of being. I shall never cease to sound your
r.raises.-nrs , E , fl. Bradlsh , 179 Dix Av. , Detroit , filch.
