She has just gone through the shock and strain of materni ty , her vitality is at its lowest and the food she eats must nourish two lives. The natural re sult is that the mother looks around for a "tonic , " and gen erally finds her tonic in the form of a stimu lant , which not only gives the mother no real strength but is an injury to the child. It is the concurrent testimony of womeu who have used Dr. Pierce's I'avorite I're- Bcription , that it is the most perfect prc > paration for motherhood and all its func tions which has ever been discovered. It prepares the way for baby's ' advent , giving the organs of birth vigor and elasticity , It establishes such a condition of health that nervousness , anxiety and mornlne sickness are unknown , With this condition conies a healthy flow of nourishment for the child , which enables the mother to gratify the fondest instinct of maternity.

WEBSTER'S ' UNSELFISH PARTISANSHIP on n I"cv-r nf 1lie Other Slilnlnpr l.lRhtn and Financial IlncUcrn of the UnPatriotic - Patriotic "Doesn't that cap the climax of assur ance ? " exclaimed n member of the repub lican county committee. "What caps the climax of assurance ? " "Why , that subscription list started by the members of the un-Patrlotlc league Sat urday night , with the ostensible purpose of establishing a permanent organization as a central republican club In regular quarters. This same crowd has formed central clubs galore In the last few jears , always with the same purpose In view , and alwavs ending In smoke. They have always taken up a col lection and pretended to charge dues , but only a few suckers have paid , and when the money once got Into the hands of the treas urer it was cither absorbed or plantrd , but never used In any way to help the repub lican ticket or republican candidates. "Just go over the list. Do you remember the old Alexander Hamilton club ? Some body who acted ns treasurer has some of Its funds yet. The same Is true of the Union League club , the John L. Webster club and others. The latest before the un-Patrlotlc league was the U. S. Grant club. The Grant club was lavish In entertaining newspaper editors from out In the state with money collected by special subscription from pcoplo who \\cre afterward charged $3 a plate In addition to their $5 or $10 contributions. Liter It blossomed out with a reception to members-elect of the last legislature , which It tried to turn lute a love feast for John L. Webster , to the disgust of the guests who accepted Invitations. Its principal work , however , was to slaughter republican candi dates and elect a democrat to be county at torney a year ago and turn the control of the county court house , over to a democratic majority of the county board. With this record It seems to have outlived Its use fulness , and so the same gang of knlfe- wlcldcrs had to get together under an allot ) which now happens to bo the un-Patrlotlc league. VVehnter'N Patriotic SclflnhnrxN. "But to get back to that subscription list. Just look at It ! There is John L. Web ster , with a munificent donation of $100. Webster prides himself on his great serv ices to the partj , and as a matter of fact he has usually contributed to campaign funds each year whenever there was anyone ono on the ticket belonging to the Webster gang. This jear , when asked for a sub scription to the campaign fund , Mr. Web ster replied , 'Where Is this going to help mo ? ' When it was explained that It was Intended to help the republican party and promote the election of republican candi dates , he said : 'I would be glad to con tribute If I saw any way In which It would help me , but I cannot see It , and I do not see how I can give anything. ' John L. Webster , therefore , did not contribute one penny to the republican campaign In Doug las county , but he has money to burn In boosting the bolters' club to stimulate It In the work of knifing republican candidates. "John L. Kennedy Is arlother patriot ad vertised as having given $30 to the league fund When Mr. Kennedy was asked If he wished to contribute to"1 the campaign fund , he pleaded poverty. He1 said he was mak ing speeches for thn ttckeC out In the state and paying his own ej p-riBcs , and $25 was too much to expect of < him , but he would think it over , and if he felt able to do so he would give a smaller sum. He was tqo poor to help the campaign whllo it was going , but $50 is nothing to him after the ticket has been slaughtered to reward the men who slaughtered It. Gnrlcy for Ilctcnnc Only. "Then there Is Bill Gurley. Gurley Is another patriot who always wants to know what there is in It for him first. One of the first propositions made to the repub lican state committee was to employ Gur ley to make speeches at so much per day and expenses as the prleo of his repub licanism. Gurlcy had money to bet down on the street on democratic candidates , but not a cent of his money was visible to help the republican ticket. His liberality in sending word to the league that he could be counted on for $25 should entitle him to an illuminated scroll. "To show the Interest of the league In the success of the republican ticket , It will not be giving away secrets to say that of the whole federal brigade from Janitor up to congressman Just ono is represented among the contributions to the county campaign and that one Is Missouri River Commis sioner Chaffee , who sent a check for $50.

Sealo , a young man who has been living at 411 North Fourteenth street for the past two weeks , tried to put a period to distasteful existence Monday night by taking ten grains of strychnine. Dr. Porter was called In tlmo to- pump the poison from the suffering joung man's stomach nnd there Is a likelihood that he has a good many years before him yet. Sealo has been In the city tor some tlmo and has acquaintances here. Ho has been out of employment and despondent. His father IB an Episcopal clergyman In Eng land. Sealo has some brcthera in Manitoba , but they seem to bavo turned the cold shoulder to him on account of his continued waywardness. An Episcopal clergyman in town has been Interesting himself In behalf of the young man , but It seems to no purpose. Two weeks ago ho went to the home of J. A , Corry to room. Ho rather shunned company while there. Monday night ho came homo and wont to his room evidently to write a let ter. After ho had been In there for a short tlmo the people In the house were startled to hcar BomethIng fall heavily to the floor. They rushed to Scale's room and found him on the floor writhing in agony. Near him they found a small packet with a strychnine label on It. In tbo letter Scale was at work on ho elated ho had written to his father nnd re ceived no answer ; ho htd telegraphed ami now before the letter he was writing could reach Its destination ho would bo dead. These who Are acquainted with the joung man nro of the opinion that ho simply be came discouraged and decided to caul his misery ns scon ns possible. He was removed to the Presbjterlnn hos pital nnd the latest reports wore favorable for his recovery. - - < - . + og - y.- - I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , N' ' A A 'ft < > * ' - A i ? > - i O i fr fi At an adjourned meeting of the Hoard ot Education Monday night W. n , Wvman , ono of the republican members of the board , tendered his resignation nnd It was accepted In choosing a successor to Mr Winan only two candidates vvcro voted upon Sam Schrlglcy received three votes and CharUs I' . Scarr flvo votes. Mr Scarr was declnrcd elected to nil the vacancj. Mr.Vjnnn Is cashier of the Union Pacific at thh point and his business takes up a great deal of his time. In addition to his railroad duties Mr. Wyman has purchased an Interest In an Industry at Shccly anil his evenings will ba taken up In looking after the business- that place. Tor thesci reasons , and his Ina bility to attend meetings , Mr. Wyman de cided that It wis best for him to resign aud make way for a man who could seivc the Interests of the people by attending to the duties Incidental to the ofllco of member of the board. The resignation of Mr Wy man leaves only ono republican member ai against eight democrats. Superintendent Wolfe reported tint the night school opened with 105 pupils On account of tha teacher engaged having loft the city Messrs. Oraham and Johnson , two of the regular teachers , volunteered to teach the school last night. The commlttco on teachers and superintendent will select two teachers for the night school nt once. H Is estimated that fully eighty pupils will at tend and two teachers will bo needed. Moro room Is needed at the I owcll school nnd the committee- buildings and grounds will see about the renting ot .a room west of the Durlington tracks Hereafter teach ers mutt attend teachers' meeting * or else subject themselves to censure from the superintendent. The attendance at the schools for Octo ber , 1898 , was 2,838 , and for October , 1800 , 3,134. The average per room last > ear was forty-two and this jear It Is forty-four. Quito a number of outsldo rooms have been added , which tends to cut down tha avcr- ano per room. Thanksgiving will bo observed In the usual manner. The schools will bo dismissed on Wednesday night , November 29 , until De cember 4. The differences existing between the archi tect cf the board and the contractors erect ing the new school building were amicably adjusted and It is thought that no further trouble will ensue. The trouble In the first place was caused by the scarcity of certain material and the Inability of the contractors to obtain lumber specified. An Investigation WMS ordered and a commlttco of the board found that as the material could rot be secured a change In the specifications must necessarily bo made. Dave Mulcahy was appointed Janitor nt the East Albright school and the pay of several of the Janitors In the larger schools ! was raised ? 5 per month. i Mr. Scarr , the nnvv member of the board , Is at present In Furnas county on a hunting I trip , but will most likely return In time for the next meeting. Telephone Company nnd Cltj Clnnh. An effort is being made by the Western Long Distance Telephone company of Platts mouth to enter the city without first secur ing a franchise and Mayor Ensor has set his foot down firmly against the proposition. This company Is better known as the Plaits- mouth Telephone company and Is being engineered by Thonns C. Parmalco , his brother , and a man named Pollock. With out giving any notice to the city officials this company attempted yesterday to set poles Inside the city limits and was prompt ly stopped by orders of the mayor. One of the employes of Parmalee , who gave his name as Roberts , was taken Into custody by the police during the day because ho persisted In distributing poles Inside the cltv limits. After being taken to police head quarters nnd questioned , Chief Carroll found that Roberts was only an employe and not i responsible and ho turned him loose with Instructions to get right back over the county line. When Roberts rejoined his co-laborers and told them his experience at the South Omaha police station , work was stopped Im mediately and a message was sent to Mr. Parmalco nt Plattsmoutb. In response to an urgent request Thomas C. Parmalee and a friend hastened to South Omaha and held n conference with Mayor Ensor. The mayor told them that the Plattsmouth company had no franchise entitling It to set poles or , string wires within the limits of the city and that ho would not permit the work to continue until such franchise had been ! granted. Mr. Parmalee argued that ho had arranged with the Postal Telegraph com pany to reach this city by means of that company's poles , but the major Insisted thit the Postal people bad no right to sublet a franchise and therefore If the Plattsmouth Telephone company wanted to get Into South Omaha It wouU have to go through the regular channels and file an application for a franchise. Mayor Ensor appears to bo taking a de cided stand in the matter , as It Is under stood that he has stated that If the Platts mouth people attempt to etrlng wires on the Postal poles without first applying for and receiving a franchise , ho will hive the poles cut down and the parties setting poles placed under arrest. The fight between the city authorities nnd the Plattsmouth pcoplo I promises to bo an Interesting one. Representatives of the Plattfimouth com pany claim that the Dell company Is back 1 of the opposition to their operations. Another Sal ( ion Keeper ( iiiex Wronjf.
