"Tho l'arls exposition la a very lonesome
Tlaee. In point of attendanco It In a fail
ure. Tho Americans and nnRllsh have
failed to patronlzo It and In consequence tho
Parisians and, In fact, all Frenchmen, ure
very Indignant at tho United States anu
Kngland. Itusslans have also failed to at
tend tho exposition and tho Hermans arc
the only peoplo who havo visited Paris in
uuftlclent numbers to satisfy tho expectant
Frenchmen," said Judge J. M. Woolworth,
vho has Just returned from a two-months'
Huropcan trip. "Tho admission fee fell to
lialf a franc, or about 10 cents, while I was
In Paris and since that lime It has fallen
even lower.
"Tickets to tho exposition are offered at
reduced rates In all parts of Paris. Cab
bies, bootblacks, newsdealers and fruit pod
ellors havo exposition tickets for sale. Tho
wreat exposition grounds aro so deserted that
the government Is doing all In Its power to
increaso tho attendance and make good Its
contracts with concessionaires. Great res
laurants wcro granted concessions with tho
understanding that tho attendance at tho
fair wds to como up to a certain number and
the government Is attempting to force tho
nttendanco up to tho mark Indicated In these
contracts. Several of tho largest restaurants
failed and r.ro closed up, All tho trades
people aro complaining bitterly of tho poor
attendanc6.
"Tho exposition Is In no respect superior
to the World's Ifalr bold In Chicago In 1833.
H Is finer than tho Paris exposition of
ISSH, but has not attracted tho crowds that
were In Franco that year. Tho building tho
tJnltod States has erected at Paris is a hor
rible looking affair. It Is sort of round or
octagonal In shape and tho exterior Is very
ornate. Tho lniildo of tho building Is quit
crelltablc, tho exhibit of American pictures
bo'.ng tho most notable feature.
CIiiu-kcn Arc Mnilcrntr,
"Falso reports havo been rlrculated con
cerning tho extortionate prices charged for
cabs, hotel accommodations and steamship
accommodations. Tho yimors that It Is Im
osslblo to secure paRtago on any of the
llrst-class steamers are also false. 1 left
Mew York on the St. Paul Juno 18. I had
not engaged passage ahead of tlmo, but
was given a very comfortable room and
found that there were many rooms unoccu
pied. Tho steamer rates wero no higher
than n year ago. In Paris I paid tho cus
tomary rates for hotel accommodations and
cabs. Although I did not know Just when
1 would return and was unable to engage
rassago beforehand, I secured a very com
fortable room on one of the North German
Lloyd steamers.
"Many features of tho exposition are
nulto disappointing, but tho grounds arc
beautiful. Tho Selno is tho nucleus about
vhlch tho buildings aro clustered. It Is a
beautiful stream, about half a mllo In
width and Is qulto an artery of commerce.
The bridge of Alexander III was opened
while I was In Paris and Is a very Impoj.
lng structure. Tho art gallorlcs aro pormn.
lient buildings and aro tho most attractive
feature of tho fair. They aro of a beautiful
whlto stone that looks llko chalk.
, "Tho Spaplsh building, was inoro pleasing
to mo than any of tho other national bulli
lngs. It contained an exhibit cf lino tapes
tries that excol tho Gobelin tapestries and
aro tho admiration of all visitors. Many o.
tho pieces In tho collection are hundreds of
years old and aro onttrcly different from
moro modern work.
"A great deal Is said nbont tho reproduc-.
tlon of sixteenth century Paris, but this
fcaturo did not seem to attract much at
tention. Temporary buildings are con
structed along narrow streets In Imitation
of old Paris, and men In quaint costumes
aro stationed along tho streets. Thero aro
so few visitors that the sixteenth! century
men look very lonesome and tho whole
place bus a deserted air.
KiiKlnml In Stnlc of doom,
"I havo been in Paris other years when
It seemed to mo thero wcro moro Americans
in tho city than thero are at present. Whllo
in Paris I saw but few English visitors.
Kngland Is in a stato of gloom. It Is de
pressed. Tho Iloor war has brought sorrow
to many of tho leading families and they
ure staying at home. Uncertainty seems to
prevail throughout Kngland. Although ths
Ungllsh feel that tho noer war is about
over and havo no doubt of their ability to
subjugate tho Dutch, tho war has cast .
shadow over tho lslnnd. Most of tho lead
ing society people havo relutlves and friends
In the South African sen Ice nnd aro not
taking part in social functions."
Four years ngo when tho lato Lord Chief
Justlco Kusscll of Kngland attended ths
meeting of tho American liar association
Judge Woolworth became acquainted with
him and afterwards met him whtlo traveling
In England. "Chief Justlco Jtussoll lacked
tho extreme graco of tho cultured English
man," said Judge Woolworth, In spcaklna
Sleeplessness marks the very climax
of human suffering. It is only a step
removed from insanity. When sleep no
longer restores the exhausted nature, the
struggle with disease cannot last long.
The starting point of the nervous dis
orders which produce ill - health nnd
sleeplessness, is generally n diseased
condition of the womanly organs. Re
store these organs to sound health and
the appetite comes back, the day's work
no longer wearies, nnd sleep is sound
and refreshing. Dr. Pierce s Favorite
Prescription cures diseases of the wom
anly organs. It stops the drains which
weaken women ; it henls the inflamma
tion and ulceration, and cures female
weakness.
There is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre
scription" and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine and nil other narcotics.
It is n temperance medicine.
"Sty health has been poor for many years nnd
I hid Ukeu a great deal of medicine, but it did
me no good." writes Mrs. Rose Kennedy, of
Springblulf, Adams Co., Wis. "Iat August my
health was very poor: l had no appetite and
could not sleep. 1 wrote to Dr. Tierce and he
kindly advised me to take liU ' favorite rre

encuragement everywhere.
After consultation with the managers
at the state headquarters nnd other friends
In the city ho left for Lincoln on the nft
ci noun train to continue In his campaign
ing. "I havo attended a great many meetings
of various kinds during tho last few weeks,
Including political conventions, picnics and
Sangerfcst gatherings nnd at all of them
have been cordially received. The best
signs for republican success, however, aro
to bo found out among tho people who are
busy nt their work enjoying tho prosperity
which Is to be found all over tho state.
"Tho claims of tho opposition as to the
attitude of the foreign elements are, I be
lieve, greatly exaggerated. I do not think
tho bugaboos of militarism and Imperial
lam aro operating as tho Uryanllcs ex
pected. "1 see they are spreading n great many
stories trying to mako capital out of my
alleged connection with liquor Interests.
One story Is that I am a member of tho
I.lf,nor Dealers' association nnd another
that I am representing an Omaha brewery.
These fictions havo been Invented for a
purpose nud clocrly concocted to give
them a semblnnco of truth.
"My name Is ('. II. Dietrich, while there
Is a man named O. H. Dietrich who has
run a saloon up at Crawford, Neb. As you
remember ho formerly ran tho Diamond
saloon hero In Omaha. I an told that ho
Ik a member of tho Liquor Dealers' asso

to mako mo occupy his placo becauso of
the similarity of tho names.
"There Is another Dietrich, according to
ray Information, who Is a traveling ngent
for tho Krug Brewing company of this
city who has been Introduced ns a Joke
In various places as tho republican candi
date for governor. Tho Joko Is doubtless
explained to everybody present, but that
docn not prevent tho circulation of tho
story that I am tho agent for a brewery.
"As a matter of fact I havo been credited
with visiting a lot of places In Nebraska
and my doings chronicled In tho papers
when I never was near such places and tho
only explanation I can offer Is that some
other Dlotrlchs have been playing off for

WANTS TO GO TO THE SENATE
Clinrlr J, (irprni Malic n l'oriiuil
Announcement of III t'limll
ilncj In Mnlli Wnril.
Tho candidacy of Charles J. Greene for
United Stntes senator was formally launched
nt n meeting of the Ninth Ward Republican
club last night.
Tho meeting was called to order by H. P.
Stoddart. and II. W. Pennock was chosen
secretary pro tern. As soon as the meeting
was called to order Mr. (Jrccno responded to
vails and said, in part:
"Gentlemen: It Is not my purpose this
evening to detain you with a long speech.
Tho coming campaign Is of great Importance,
whether considered locally or nationally.
Tho voters ot tho state will not only have
a part In determining tho administration of
tho affairs of tho stato, but tho result may
determine the party preponderance In tho
United Stntes senate, owing to the fact that
two senators aro to bo chosen by the next
legislature.
"For a year or more Mr. Webster has been
an opon and avowed candidato for the sen
ate and has devoted two year a to assiduous
work for that position. Edward Horcwatcr
has not mndo any avowal of his candidacy
In an open nnd ofllclal way, yet It Is believed
by everybody that ho will be an active and
nggresslve factor In tho conflict, so there
can be no doubt that wo aro approaching a
Btormy and bitter light over tho legislative
ticket should there be no other names sub
mitted. I havo thought It best that tho
legislative ticket should be elected llrst, be
fore considering tho officers to bo chosen by
the legislature. It has been said that I have
had somo understanding with Mr. Itoaewater
and bIbo that I havo had an understanding
with Mr. Webster. I havo never spoken to
cither of theso gentlemen upon tho subject
except In a most general way. I desire to
enter tho fight In this ward not as a Rose
water man or a Webster mini, fiut for my
self for the odlcc ot United States nonator.
"Tho Ninth ward can select candidates
who will securo tho support ot tho majority
of tho voters of tho county. I havo no de
slro to see the field foreclosed against any
reputable candidato who may aspire to the
United States senate. No ono man can
name tho candidates on tho legislative ticket
not Mr. Webster, not Mr. Rosowater. The
ticket named will be twelve men, somo for
Mr. Rosewatcr, somo for Mr. Webster, some
probably for Fome person whoso namo has
not been mentioned nnd some, I hope, for
your servant. The tight will bo made at tho
legislature. TUerc will bo assembled over
100 legislators. It will require sixty-seven
votes to elect, nenrly tho full representation
of the republican party, nnd the successful
candidates will bo elected by practically the
unantmous republican vote. It Is therefore
best to avoid a contest bo that tho represen
tatives can consider tbo bent Interests of
the peoplo and tho state at tho tlmo of the
election.
"If I shall receive your support I want no
man unqualified, and I nsk that none bo
pledged to me or bound by other ties than
their own desires and good will. I have
beon in tho stato thirty years and have In
all that time battled for the republican party.
I have asked no ofneo. but I nsk It now."
At tho conclusion of Mr. Orcene'e remarks,
which wero received with much applause,
John L. Kennedy was recognised by the
chair and stated that ho could not support
Mr. Greeno for the reason that ho had been
pledged to John L. Webster for over two
years. He further stated that while he would
work for the Webster slate. If ho was de
feated he would tako off his coat nnd work
for the nominees. ,
Councilman Trostler made a motion that
the club ondnrbo the cnndldney of Charles J.
Greene and that he be authorized to select
his own delegation to the county convention.
John L. Kennedy moved that tho motion be
tabled. A viva voce vote was taken, leav
ing thn chnlrman in doubt. Upon division
it was found that the motion to tablo had
carried by a vote of 32 to 16. Among the
majority appeared the faces of several resi
dents of other wards, who cheered loudly
when the result was announced. The meet
ing then adjourned until next Monday even

I protest against the publication of un

embalming lltild In their commodity as they
choos".
"Milkmen as a class aro law-abiding
citizen," ho said, "and I propose to stnnd
by tho citizens of Omaha; they stood by
me."
The.i, acting upon the principle that the
citizens ot Omaha had elected him to
protect those who transgressed the law, ho
proceeded to ram formaldehyde down their
throats by discharging a milkman who had
been convicted of selling embalmed milk.
The case was that of Ivor N. Jensen,
manager of tho Monarch dairy, and ths
evidence agalnHt him, so far as selling
milk containing formaldchydo Is Con
cerned, was conclusive. Indeed, tho de
fendant did not attempt to deny tho pres
ence of the chemical, ills only defense
wns that ho didn't know it was there, an.l
If It was there ho didn't put It there. Upon
this plea Judgo Gordon turned him loose.
The case ngalnst Jensen was exactly the
samo us those against tho other four milk
men, each of whom 'Acting Judgo Learn,
during tho rocent Illness of Judgo Gordon,
had lined $25 and costs. The samples
wero nil taken the samo day by Milk In
spector Mutton, each went through thn
ramo chcmlcnl analysis by Chemist Cnrl
Dummer and tho milk Inspector, tho chem
ist and Assistant City Physician Kalph
each save tho same testimony ns to tho
treatment of the samples and tho finding
of tho "preservative." Tho testimony nnd
the evidence did not vary ono Iota, nnd
City Prosecutor Thomas was even more
particular than formerly to eloso all the
legal loopholes, but his trouble was for
nothing.
Where .Icnxcn Got Ami.
Jensen took the stand and testified that a
few minutes before the samples were taken
from his wagon by tho Inspector last July
ho had bought three gallons of milk of tho
West Point Creamery company and two
qunrtn of a man named GUlen. The chem
ical might havo been In this milk; he was
sure thero was none In tho lnctcal taken
from hlo own cows.
Judgo Goulon, lu. giving his decision,
reasoned that this was proof that Jcnson
didn't -"knowingly" commit Hn unlawful
act, which validated his claim for clem
ency. Tho makers of the city ordinance
on tho adulterated milk subject, how
ever, wero moro astute than tho police
Judge. Anticipating that this would bo
the loopbolo through which all guilty
vendors would escape, they omitted the
word" "knowingly" from tho measure aud
mndo It apply to "all who shall sell, offer
for salo or keep for sale" any Impuro or
ndultcratcd milk.
"As tho matter stands now," said one of
tho witnesses for tho city, "any milkman
can hcicaftcr instruct his stable boy to
doso tho milk with formaldchydo and then
got on the stand hero and swear ho didn't
know the commodity wns adulterated and
that anyway ho didn't put the stuff In."
A contingency exactly llko tho foregoing
arose In tho hearing of tho Waterloo
creamery caso before Judgo l.earn. The
defendants swore that If formaldohydo was
found In their milk It must havo come
from the cans of Jesse C. Hoot, of whom
they bought, ns they did not uso tho chem
ical themselves. Soveral other defendants
oworo to having purchased of Root (who
pleaded guilty to having used tho stuff),
hoping thereby to escape punishment.
They wanted to mako Root tho root of all
evil, but It didn't go with Judgo Lenrn.
They wore nil fined strictly In accordance
with the terms of tho city ordlnnnco which
thoy had violated.
Tho Inspector has decided not to attempt
to prosecute any moro milkmen for using
formaldehyde so long as Judgo Gordon Is
en tho bench.

I'lciiHiuit Trip,
Two companies of young soldiers, repre
senting Omaha'B contingent of tho Ne
braska National Ouard, Company O of tho
Second regiment and L, of tho First regi
ment, wheeled into tho Ilurllngtou station
nt an early hour yesterday marched
through the corridors and down tho wind
ing stairs to tho train platform and, bctoro
other than hurried goodbyes could be
said, wore being whirled across the state
In a special train enrouto for the state
encampment nt Hastings,
It was a glorious morning and the com
mands of Captains Stockham and Hodglns
wero In excellent spirits. Like high-strung
horses champing nt the bit, theso young
soldiers, all decked out in their spick and
span military garbs, wero Impatient to bo
off to tho scene ot tho annual encampmeut,
where they might bo enabled to compoto
with their fellows and show oft to admir
ing spectators how thoroughly familiar
they aro with military tactics, drills,
maneuvers and evolutions. They wero
aglow with tho excitement of tho occasion
and they bandied themselves like veterans,
tho brief drill In the early morning serv
ing as nn Invigorating tonic.
Arriving nt tho depot all hands turned In
and with tho celerity and precision of a well
trained military body unloaded tho commis
sary stores from a big van that had hauloJ
them to tho station and reloaded them Into
a baggago car. After this work was com
pleted the order of "break ranks" was given
aud tho young soldiers sauntered about the
depot for a few moments. Many of them
were favored by tho presence of friends and
relatives who had gono to tho depot to bid
them adieu, and thero were many fair young
women, charming In their airy summer
gowns, who had gathered at the station evi
dently with tho avowed Intention ot monopo
lizing tho time of several of their favored
knights beforo tho train should carry them
away to tho scenes of new, and probably
brief, couqucBts.
At 7:10 the train left the station, carrying
tho young guardsmen away to bo gono until
Saturday night. It was a Joyful parting,
though, between those light-hearted young
soldiers and the ones left behind, and what
ever of regret there may havo been was held
In abeyance until nfter the outburst of en
thusiastic ndleux had subsided. Company U,
First regiment, tho Thurston Rifles, was in
command of Captain W. K. Stockham and
consisted of threo ofllecrs nnd forty men.
Company fl. Second regiment, Omaha
Guards, commanded by Captain Hodglns,
had three officers and thirty-six men.

likely that other consolidations of n sim
