The monthly meeting of the Commercial
Club lnt night brought out about sixty
'member, who, after dinner, listened to
peeche by Oaborno Howes of tho Cham
ber of Commerce of Boston, John 3. Knox
nd ncv. John Williams of St. Barnabas'
church. C
J. Frank Carpenter acted as toastmastcr,
PejflorlnK tbo fact that other engagement!)
detained many members from thi .meeting,
Mr. Os1orno Howes took up the question of
reciprocity generally and with Canada In
Particular, Raying'
"The Industrial condition of the United
States has undergone a change. This was
nhown by tho last addrcR of Mr. McKlnlcy
'lit Buffalo, where, rending between the
lines, we find that he .realised that wo have
corao to the parting of tho ways; thnt we
'have outgrown tho self-contained conditions
of the past and that tbo woll-bolng of our
Industries depends upon foreign patronage.
Jn 1903 the trade treaties between Euro
pean countries expire and in tho present
tariff plan tbo object seems to bo tho ex
clusion of American wares."
HcHprocMy -with 4,'anarinj,
Tho speaker then came dlroctly to the
Question of reciprocity with Canada, say
ing: ,
"At the present tlmo the Canadians are
Juetly dlS8atlsfled with our manner of
treating them They have Increased their
purohasen of us four-fold within tho last
twenty years',' while, barring gold, silver
?,nd coppor ofoa, wo buy from thorn but
Ittln mora tbah wo did In 1880. They havo
put upon their, freo list about half of what
they import from the Untied States and tax
tho remainder, about 25 per cent ad valorem.
We tux nearly all Canadian products except
thoso just mentioned and our nvcrago tax
!s In tho neighborhood of 60 per cent. The
Veeult has beejA tho industrial development
bf Canada on independent lines. Trade chan
nels havwbeek formed running cast and
west, Instead of aa they should havo been
tun, north and south. Canada's great rail
way system has been built on linen parallel
vlth your western roads. Trade which
should be' tributary to you has been de
flected eastward. Tho Canadians have
found -for thonuolvca in. Europe tho mar
kets which wo havo donled to them. They
Vrere never less dependent upon us for trado
than they nro today and we wcro never
(nora dependont upon tbelr good will an
purchasers of our products, while tho an
ftoxation sentiment which was n pronounced
Ijactor in tho publlo mind of Canada twenty
rears ajfo baa- now almost entirely dinar
feared." Danger as lie flees It.
''Tbo danger which wo have to fear on
(he slde-of Canada is this: Unless wo can
Vrlthln a reasonable tlmo come to some
trade understanding with her, cither tha
Canadian tariff will be niado, no far ns our
products aro concerned, in most reapects
similar to that which wo now havo In force,
In which event our annual antes of $110,
000,000, would drop to half that amount, or
througbj a customs foderatlon established
betw'acBj England aid her colonies, English
good Will bo admitted Into Canada almost
duty free, whllo England will impose a duty
upon Amorlcan products which enter in
England Into competition with tho agri
cultural products of Canada and other En
glish colonics, in that ovont you in the
west would find your great and hitherto
constant markot In England seriously cur
tailed. - This transatlantic markot can best
do assured In tbo futuro by n friendly trado
Hgroemcnt between Canada and tho United
Btatcs."
Ab'ont aj, Greater Omaha.
John 8. Knox spoke of "Greater Omaha."
Jto opened his remarks by extending an in
vitation to thoso present to attend the
tneotlng 'called by tho Real Estato exchange
Thursday- evening. In giving a history of
the events loading up to the coming meet
ing be said that the movement originated
In a committee appointed by tbo exohange
which investigated the question of taxes In
Omaha, This committoo found that be
rause or fixed charges no material reduc
tion in taxes can bo made -without a revolu
tion in "the form .of government. Ho read
the report it thai committoo and touched
upon -the recqptinendatlons of John I. Web

years, 'particularly In Memphis and St.

Rev- John' 'Wllllatna of St. Barnabas'

that, parta'an'polltk8, should not bo al

namo of ono of ltn lessors, and tho right to

An ordluannn in that hchulf la herewith
submitted. Respectfully.
O. V. llOLDREOH.
Shecan Complacently Harcaatlc.
'Thus the old fight Is on again. Attorney
Shecan of tho Northwestern Is complacent.
Ho bald:
"Of courso I knew wo would not got In on
that street so easy as all thnt, but I did
think they would probably wait until tliti
ordinance was passed and then enjoin us.
However, wo are not worrying. V'o havo
them on the hip.
"Tho scheme of tho Burlington is plain,
as It Is but a repetition of former methods.
In tho first place, the Thomas Davis Real
Estato company is simply tbo Burlington.
1 know that to be a fact. Now this com
pany enjoins tho 'council from passing this'
ordlnanco and will also enjoin It from pass
ing tho new ono Introduced tonight favor
ing tbo Burlington. Thus wo will bo In the
samo old placo as formerly."
when ho learned of tho restraining or
der Mr. Shecan went to tha councllmen who
had Intended to support his ordlnanco and
promised to see thom through If they went
ahead and passed It regardless, He said
that ho did not believe tho court could One
them for contempt, anyway, as it was a
case of tho Judicial factor of government
assuming authority over tho legislative.
However, if tho councllmen got in troublo
over it ho would pny their fines.
Soma ot tho mcmbors wcro ready to do
this, but others bulked at tho ldoa of get
ting mixed up with tho court and then when
Whltchorn refused to report on tho or
dlnanco In defiance to tho Injunction further
effort was useless.
Mr. Shcean says that tho Burlington can
now stavo the matter off still further by
getting a continuance or In Bomo other way,
but that it will ot necessity come up some
tlmo and then tho Northwestern will hope
to even up all tho dolay by winning.

States Army.
Commandant of Cadots rear so ot the
Omaha High school Is endeavoring to per
suade the Board ot Education to complete
the equipment of the cadet battalion. At
prcstmt about half tho boys have rifles and
other accompanying military paraphernalia.
Not long since the Board of Education per
suaded Senator Millard to ask tho govern
ment to furnish tho necessary arms,
Brigadier General Bufflugton, chef of
ordnance, responded to Senator Mlllrtrd
that a prerequisite of the furnishing of
equipment to universities, colleges and
schools Ly the United States was tho as
signing to that school of an army officer on
detached duty to act ns professor of mili
tary scionco and tactics.
No such provision prevailing hero, tho
guns csnnot bo furnished. This communi
cation sent by Senator .Millard to tho board
was referred to tho High school committee.
With these men Commandant Pearso is
now working. The purchase of the neces
sary rifles would entail an expenditure of
l,b00 to $2,000. Mr. Pearso wishes tho

Councilman August Miller is wearing a
worried look again. This tlmo It Is be
cause he says too many of tho city officials
spend nearly all of their tlmo hunting.
Mr. Miller said: "The street commissioner
Is never to be found and there Is plenty of
work for him to do Just now. The papers
say that Chlof Mitchell Is away on another
hunting expedition. At the next meeting
ot tho council I shall certainly niako a
recommendation that tho hunting business
be cut out and that the officials attend to
their duties or else deductions be made
from their pay at the end of ,the month,"

gottlng Into this territory over tbo Minne
apolis & Omaha tracks, it moans that there
will bo competition. Instead of being com
pelled to uso tho Burlington exclusively or
haul freight in wagons for long distances
In order to reach other roads, tho whole
salers and Jobbers of tho section tributary
to Eighth street now have tho cholco of
two roads, both of which offer tho samo
scrvlco and facilities. Tho object of tho
Northwestern In gottlng Invo this torrltory
was primarily to benefit Itself, but a great
benefit will como to tho wholesalers and
Jobbers as well, and that portion ot tho
district will bo built up to a far greater
extent than if ono road enjoyod a monopoly
of the truckage rights."
Burlington trolght officials refused to dis
cuss tho matter, claiming to know nothing
about tho settlement or tbo matter at lssuo.
Trnftie ArrniiKeiuent Dented.
AH knowlcdgo of a traffic arrangement,
existing or to bo made, between tho Elk
horn and the Union raclflo whereby tho
lattor will uso tho former's tracks botweon
South Omaha and Irvlngton in making up
an Omnha-Fremont cutoff and saving cloven
miles, is disclaimed by tho officials of both
roads. Stories to this effect have boon
printed several times since tho Elkhorn
commenced to build Its Union Pacific con
necting track neat tho northern limits of
South Omnha. At President Uurt'a offlco It
wns sold that nothing wns known thoro of
a traffic agreement other than tho present
ono providing for an Interchange of South

mado at tho Elkhorn headquarters.

IlurlliiR-ton Take Action.
It is evident that tho Burlington docs not
propose to allow tho Minneapolis & Omaha'
to cross Us tracks in tho disputed torrl
tory, ordinance or no ordinance, until it is
qulto ready to admit defeat. Yesterday a
gang of track layers were put to work near
tho Eighth streot crossing at tho alley
betweon Farnam aud Harnoy streets and
when they got through tho two Uurllngton
tracks which tho Omaha road desires to
cross looked llko a gridiron. Between tho
rails of each track tour additional rails
wero firmly spiked down, making a total
of twelve rails whoro thoro wero but four.
Now it the Omaba road attempts to put, In
tho crossing by forco it will find Just threo
times as much work to do as upon the
former unsuccessful occasion.

STARYED TO DEATH.
Help That Como Too Lato.
"The Carisbrooke Caslle, arrived in
from the West Indies, reports picking np
a raft witli the body of an elderly uian
who bad evidently died of starvation.
There was no clue to tbe man's identity,
nor any marks to determine tbe oricin
of the raft."
In those few tines another clueless
mystery of old ocean was distmsed of.
There was nothing to marvel at that a
man should die of starvation. Had he
livexl it would have been a real marvel
indeed. Or had be died of starvation
surrounded by abundant food, that would
have been both a marvel and a mystery
to the world at large. For the world at
large does not know that a great many
elderly people die of starvation in the
midst of plenty. They have food enough,
but'the stomach is "weak" nnd the food
cannot be digested ami converted Into
nutrition. The body grows weak as every
starved body , does. And nt last the life
is destroyed by some common place
malady, which would have been easily
thrown off by a well nourished body.
It is because death in such caseo in at
tributed to tbe trivial malady and not to
the true cause starvation that there is
no general appreciation of a common
cause of disease nnd death amonR elderly
people lack of nutrition.

depends npon the capacity to digest nnd
assimilate food. Strength in age has the
same foundation ns strength in youth
food properly digested and assimilated.
There is no way to make physical
strength except from food. And when
the stomach and its allied organs, be
cause of "weakness" or disease, cannot
convert the food into nutrition, there is
a loss of strength aud vitality, which
weakens the bony nnd leaves it practic
ally powerless against the inroads of dis
ease. If- you want strength you must
get it from- food, and 'you can't get
strength from food when there is dis
ease of the stomach aud other organs of
digebtion and nutrition. The way to
vigorous age then is to strengthen the
stomach by curing the diseases which
weaken it. This is done by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
"I suffered for sir years with con
stipation aud indigestion, during which
time I employed several physicians, but
they could not reach my case," writes
Mr. G. Popplewell, of Eureka Springs,
Carroll Co., Ark. I felt that there was
no 'help for me; could not retain food
on my stomach ; had vertigo and would
fall, helpless to the floor. Two years
ago I commenced taking, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and' little
Pellets',' rihet improved from the start.
After taking twelve bottles of the ' Dis
covery ' I was able' to do light work, aud
have been improving, ever -since. I am
now in good health for one of my age
6o years. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's
medicines."

is not offered as a "cure-all." It docs

MKDICAt, PA UK PRKTKNStON.1.
When a medicine is offered as blood
making" or "strength-giving." ask your
self: Ont of wlwt is blood made and what
is tbe source of physical strength? Blood
may properly be said to be only digested
food. I'ood is the source of all strength
when, by the digestive processes, it is
converted into blood, which is the life
of the body. No medicine can make
n drop of blood. No medicine can give
an ouuee of strength. Blood and
strength must come from food, nnd the
only sense in which Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is called a blood
making and strength -giving medicine
is in that it cures tbe diseases of the
stomach nnd other organs
of digestion and nutri
tion, and enables the food
eaten to be converted into
the blood nnd nutrition
on which the life and
strength of the body de
pend. By this means it
gives new life and new
strength.
" I take time to ask you
to allow me to thank you
for the good yonr medi
cine has done me," writes
Mrs. Francis Johnson, of

ever before. After using

no more weakness. I feel like a new

lived much longer in the condition I was
in if I,had not seen thnt advertisement
just in time to save mv life. Thanks to
you, and I thank God for letting my eyes
look on your advertisement. I am con
tinually telling my friends I would not
have been living if it had not been for
Dr. Pierce's medicines."
What "Golden Medical Discovery"
does for the diseased stomach in ad
vnnced life, it does for youth and for
men nnd women at every stage of life's
progress. It makes the weak " stomach
strong. It enables the perfect digestion
nnd assimilation of food, so that the
body is made strong in the one possible
way by fowl properly digested aud per
fectly assimilated.
PAR REACHING nKNBllTa.
Acting through the stomach and blood,
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
reaches every organ of the body. It
strengthens the "weak" heart stirs up
thesluggish liver, heals the inflamed lung
tissues, stimulates the kidneys, nnd brings
nil the physical organs into harmonious
activity. It cures biliousness, and the
headache and lassitude which are com
mon to bilious people. It builds up the
body with sound flesh and solid muscle.

Sometimes the dealer tempted by the
little mote profit paid by the sale 01 less
