5 NEW YORK, April 27. Andrew Carnegie,
in an essay In the May Century, entitled
"Popular IlluBlonu About Trusts," advocates
great aggregations ot capital as of bencllt
both to rich and poor. He says;
"Every attempt to monopolize tho manu
facture ot any Btnplo artlclo carries, within
its bosom the seeds of failure Ixjng before
we could legislate with much effect ngalnut
trusts thcro would bo no nocesslty for legis
lation. The past proves this and the future,
is to confirm It. There should bo nothing
Tiut encouragement for tbeee vast aggrega
tions ot capital for tho manufacture of staple
articles.
"An for tho result being nn incrcaso of
prlco to tho consumer beyond a brief period
there nocd be no fear. On tho contrary tho
inevltabla result of these aggregations Is,
finally nnd permanently, to give to the con
sumer cheaper articles than would have been
otherwise possible to obtain, for capital Is
SHALL WE DISPUTE
The Opinions of Scores of Our Fellow
Citizens,
Residents ot Omaha like other American
cltlrenu, It making un Investment, want
to bo sure ot getting tho worth of their
money. They want to know all tho whyt
nnd wherefores, nnd In a direct ratio to the
aluo of tho Investment they burrow ami
ferret until satisfied with the collateral.
Take an Instance In the realm ot proprietary
articles; if wo know of a friend who his
ben cured we havo eomo faith In tha
preparation; If wo know ot two or three
our faith Increases. If the euro reach sores
all well known citizens and nny ono who
till maintains there la nothing beyond or
dinary merit In tho said preparation can
safely be loft to tho caro of h!s fellow tax
payors. If bo wishes to pick a quarrel
with them on tho question of their Judgment
nnd veracity ho has ample opiortunlty In
Omaha to do so. Ilegln with this ewe:
Mr. Henry Witt of 1811 North Twenty
sixth street, aiys: "I never took any medi
cine) until nn attack of backacho set In
which pained mo go much that I rolled and
tossed all night, unablo to sleep with tho
excruciating torture It caused. Uoan's Kid
ney Pills were brought to my notice and I
procured a box nt Kuhn & Co.'s drug
storo, cocner 15th and Douglas streets.
The treatment at first allayed tho pain and

stimulated by tho high profits of the trust,
for a season, to embark against It.
"Tho result Is very soon a capacity ot
production beyond tho wants ot tho con
sumer, and ns tho new works erected aro
of tho most improved pattern, and capable
of producing cheaper than the old works,
tho vuhierablo trusts are compelled to buy
and capitalize at two or threo tlraca their
cost. There le thus no danger ahead to tho
community from trusts, nor nny cause for
fear.
"Competition In all departments of human
activity Is not to bo suppressed. Already
tho ghosts ot numerous departed trusts
which aimed at monopolies havo marched
across tha staga of human affnirs, each
pointing to Its fatal wound, inflicted by
that great corrective, competition. The only
people who havo reason to fear trusts aro
thooo who trust thero.
"Wo conclude that this overpowering Ir
resistible tendency toward aggregation of
capital and Increase of slzo In evory branch
of product cannot bo nrrcuted or even
greatly Impeded, and that. Instead of at
tempting to restrict either, wo should hall
every Incrcaso ns something gained, not for
the few rich, but for tho millions of poor,
seeing that tho law Is salutary, working for
good and not for evil.
"Every enlargement Is an Improvement,
step by step, upon what hus preceded. It
doco not tend to make tho rich poorer, but
It docs tend to make tho poor richer
in tho possession ot better thlngB and
greatly lessens tho wide and deplorablo gulf
between tho rich and the poor.
"Superficial politicians may for a tlmo de
celvo tho uninformed, but moro and moro
will all this be clearly seen by those who
nro now led to regard aggregations as In
jurious." DEATH RECORD.

"Tho Taming ot the Shrew" is the very
flower nnd fruit of comedy. It lacks, It Is
true, tho dreamy sensuousnees of "A Mid
summer Night's Dream," with its trains of
fairy folk and its sprites and genii, nnd it
does not afford scopo for tho exhibition
of bo many and such varied characters as
"Twelfth Night." In other respects, how
over, It must bo counted superior to either
of th"o dramas referred to, and one runs but
little rlak In saying that tho majority of
theater-goers would prefer it to either of
tlose moro elaborate creations. If It bo
true" that brevity Is the soul of wit, thon
lo "Tho Taming of the Shrew" tho very
quintessence of that quality In literature,
for tho dialogue Is full of bon mots that
sparklo and gleam Uko diamonds, the main
story Is followed without tedious digression,
tho action is rapid, thnre are no long
spooches, and the denouement Is a happy
ono for all concerned. It does not de
tract from tho fame of tho great poet that
ho opproprlatad tho plot of tho play from
nn earlier playwright who prcsonted his
plrco in London sometime during the six
teenth century, for the master had tho art
of making everything that passed through
bis hands his own.
As .modified and rearranged by tho late
Augustln Daly, the play has undergono n
Judicious excision, and been brought Into
closer harmony with our modern Ideas of
proprloty, and this, too, without tho sacri
fice of any ot its essential features, Even
tho Introduction, which Is commonly omitted
from, most acting versions ot the drama,
has been retained, and tho original idea ot
making It a play within a play has been
preserved In Its Integrity. (Miss Urban has
choion wisely in preferring to keep Mr.
Daly's modifications, and, by reason of hor
long and Intimate association with this
greatest of all managers, sho Is ablo to pre
sent the plcco In practically tho sumo elab
orate mannar in which It was given under
his supervision. That it was a sumptuous
production need hardly bo said. Viewed
from a scenic and sartorial standpoint thcro
Is no room for criticism.
Miss Itehan has been soon In Omaha before
nnd tboso who have had tho pleasure" ot
witnessing her work In previous productions
will not need to be told that sho Is ono ot
tho greatest actresses In the English-speaking
world, in the realm of comedy she
reigns queen, and thtro is none to dUputo
her sway. Tho statuesque form, tho mobile
face, tho wonderful voice, now ns musical
as the babbling of a crystnl brook, and again
ns hnrsh and strident ns tho (bricking ot
nn ungry blast thcfco sho has In measure
voucbsafod to no other womnn on tho stage.
Sho can bo In one moment fho very Incar
nation of dignity nnd .majestic strength and
pride, and in tho next lapso Into a graceful
reposo and a clinging tenderness that bo
spenkB a naturr whoso womanliness molts
tho heart. Miss Itehan reads, too, with raro
intelllgenco and throws upon tho obscure
port Ions of her .text a flood ot light that
illumines, their meaning and brlugs Into
eight treasured which even tho student
wots not of. All in all, sho Is ono ot Shake
speare's bent interpreters nnd to miss see
ing hor is to miss nn intellectual nnd ar
tistic feast that comes but rarely Into our
busy lives.
Lack of spaco prevents a review of the
individual support rendered by Miss Itchan's
most capable, company, but mention must bo
trade of tho excellent work that was donu
by Mr. Ooorgo Clark In tho role, of Petruclo.
A tnoro pleasing or nrtlstlc delineation of
the character ot this swashbuckling ad
venturer Is seldom seen, nnd tho plcturo that
ho limned of tho man who was perspica
cious epough to discern that tho shrew was
not cntlroly unmanageable was hardly ca
pable of being Improved upon. Other mem

JUDD TOBIAS IS A LUCKY BOY

Well, lint U Rescued

Whllo running from a vicious dog on
a vacant lot near Eighteenth nnd Castellar
streets Friday afternoon, llttlo Judd Tobias,
8 years old, fell In a well olxty-flvo feet
deep.
Hut tho fates wero especially kind to
llttlo Judd Tobias. Sovcral days previously
they had caused some older bns on mis
chief bent to throw a trco In tho well. This
treo, descending trunk first, hail caught In
tbo curbing about half way down, and lit
yielding branches projecting upward caught
tho body of the child, broke tho force of
his fall and for a half hour held hlra sus
pended perilously thirty ifeet nbovo tho
stagnant water nnd foul gases In the bot
tom of the shaft. Hut for the happy ac
cldont of tho treo ho must certainly have
boon dashed to pieces or suffocated In tho
ftro damp of tho lower depth". Hut for
tho accldont of tho well he would no doubt
havo been mangled by tho vicious dog.
As It was, a man camo along with a long
ropo and hauled blm out.

HARD TO BELIEVE
Errcelft. of Coffee 011 Unman Urine".
"Every tlmo that I Indulged, oven In a
weak cup of coffee, I sufferod with a ter
rlblo headache nnd disordered stomach, 'fen
months ago I quit coffoo altogether and touk
up Postum Food Cotfeo. I havo no more
headaches; am very much stronger nnd In
better flesh that I wns before; I began. I
can work hard all day without feeling tired
at all.
"Hcforo I drank Postum I got so tired
nt my 'work that I had to llo down in tho
afternoon. Ocaslonally I would faint away.
A lady friend, an nuthor, sayo sho would
not bo without Postum Food Coffeo for any
thing In tho world. She used It threo times
a day nns says it keeps her mind clear nnd
bright nnd her body healthy.
"Another friend, a lady, who Is a crlpplo
; and has been an invalid for a long whllo,
took up Postum Coffeo about two years
ago. She has gained many pound, nnd
her flesh Is now hard and firm. It Is natu
ral wo should sing the praises of Postum."

It will bo observed from the abovo that
each porson showed on lncrouso In sturdy
strength, brought about by leaving off
coffeo and tho uko of Postum Food Coffeo.
Tho reason for thin experience is that tho
polwnous nlkalolds contained in regular
coffeo prostrated the norvous system, bring
ing on all sorts of uchrs and nils and disinte
grating tho dellcato colls In tbo norvo ccn
tors, destroying and throwing out tbo ole
montH absolutely required by Nature for
maintaining good, sound nervous strength
and health.
When coffeo Is discontinued Nature seeks
to ot up a healing nud repair tho damage.
Tho offorts of Nature are oworfully nldcd
by certain olementw In Postum Food Coffee
which como from parts of tho field grain,
solected especially for tho purpose, by the
makers of Postum. One- of tho nrlnclnal
I elements Is pkospbato c potash a delicate,
mlcroscoplo product used by tho ystem in
'combination with albumen of the food to
make uji tho cells In tho nerve ceuters of
tha human body. Thero Is a well dunned
reason why peoplo can add greutly to their
strength and health by leaving off oBee
and uUn Pastum Food Coffee.
