The Illustrate 1 song, which for genera
tions haa beei getting close to nature's
heart by exploiting In dolorous tones domes
tic griefs and unrequited loves, receives a
just rebuke In Hilda Thomas' burlesque
act at the Oipbeum this week, and it took
well. Her akit, with Lou Hall as tie In
genuous Rube, is as funny as anything that
has been produced on the Orpheum stsge
for a long while.
Two stunts that are entirely new In the

Daniel 8uIIy. the well known Irish actor,
and his company gave two performances of
'The Pariah Priest" at the Boyd Sunday to
fairly. large audiences. This is the same
piece In which Mr. Sully appeared here
last seaaon, and while It can hardly fee Ball
to be up to the standard of some of his
former successes. It Is by no means bad.
This much cannot, however, be said of his
supporting company, the members of which
hae evidently been chosen from the pri
mary class of some school of acting.

Howe and R. S. Wilcox, members of the
ritual committee. In former years all
members of the Board of Governors were
given free access to the building while the
work of arranging for the Initiations was
In progress, but this yeax the nine mem

committee are to be treated as strangers
and are not to be permitted to pass the
gates which conceal from the general pub

workaday world and the realms of peace
and pleasure beyond the outside veil of

' This action was the result of a piece of
diplomacy on the part of the committee.
which felt chagrined because the Board of
Governors was too inquisitive. The com
mittee was preparing the Initiation cere
mony, which Is to be something un'.aue, and
its work was not entirely finished accord
ing to the Ideas of the majority of the mem
bers. rAt the last meeting of the board
the members who are not on the ritual
committee desired to know what that com
mittee was doing, and, when told that, a
report was not ready, tbey immediately
adopted a resolution calling upon the ritual
committee for a report. So quick was the
response that the majority of the board was
surprised. . The report briefly stated what
the committee had undertaken and closed
with a recommendation that every person,
Including the members of the Beard of Gov
ernors not on the ritual committee, be ex
cluded from the building at all times until
the committee Invited them to receive Initi
ation Into the mysteries surrounding the
throne.
The report was read and unanimously
adopted and now the members of the Board
of Governors are on the dutslde and can
only surmise as to the preparations being
made. .

At Cretghton university yesterday students

Saturday afternoon dumped a load of gar
bage in a sewer manhole in that vicinity.
The garbage stopped the sewer, water
backed up against the dam thus formed and
by 9 o'clock Sunday morning a veritable
torrent of sewage was pouring into the
university basement. The Area of the big
heating plant were extinguished, the car
penter shop adjoining waa Inundated, while
in the storeroom everything that would
float in ths way of mathematical, astron
omical and engineering apparatus was
washed out upon the campus.
Several Oats in the neighborhood also
suffered as a result of the teamster's in
fraction of a city ordinance.
The Board of Public Works was notified
by telephone shortly after o'clock and ss
soon as possible a gang of workmen was
sent out to remove the obstruction. At
this six men worked nesrly all day Sunday.
Ths work of draining the university base

The protest of the Omaha Fl-e Under
writers' association to the board oof con

having considerable effect at the present
meeting of that board. In a recent issue
the Chicago Tribune shows that the board
is considering this protest and that the
Instructions to advance rates are aot being
received by agents in all parts of the terri
tory affected. The Tribune says:
Officials of the Western Union are busily
engaged on several new schedules to be
apptked to classes found to be persistently
unprofitable. The new mercantile schedule

of towns, ami work la beli.g rushed on a

The snust stubborn opposition the Increase
In rates has yet encountered comes from
the Omaha Fire I'nd-rwrtters" association.
Its members are Miidlne to 'their com
panies resolutions, adopted unanimously at
: U
a recent meeting, representing the thlrty
slx local agencies, refusing to ask for the
advance; These resolutions, which have
been a black eye to the movement, call
attention to the fact that the advance was
agreed upon as soon as the antl-rompact
law was declared unconntltutlonal, and that
only a third of the companies represented
by the membership have sent circulars In
structing for the Increase and that the
Inspection bureau has not been ordered to
secure It. The resolutions go on:
"Resolved. That in the judgment of the
thirty-six insurance firms here and now
represented, residents of Omaha, it waa
unwise and unjust for the Insurance com
panies to have agreed to make a flat ad
vance In territory abandoned by them and
then not require all companies supporting
such measure to absolutely require their
agents and representatives to enforce such
action." '
The resolutions further provided that until
le-rated the present advisory rates be ad
hered to, and that the inspection bureau be
requested to at once employ enough raters
to apply the schedules.

Dr. Long of Baird Says Irrigation Canal

CONVERTED EASTERNER IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Located la Nebraska Relaetaatly, bat
Jow Rsperte Great Thins of
Hie Srw Home, aad
Tells Why.
"The people of the South Plstte vsllev
expect to see work resumed on the big
Irrigation ditch, which Is eventually to
rxtend along the Platte river from the
Wyoming line to Bridgeport, Neb:." said Dr.
J. H. Long of Balrd, Neb., at the Mer
chants' hotel yesterday..
The doctor Is returning to his home
after a visit with his relatives In Min
nesota. Four years ago be came from th
east to hunt and looked over what was
then sn expanse cf dry sod. People Inv ted
him to remain and make his borne with
them and he finally accepted under pro
test. Today on. this same territory are the
flourishing towns of Brldg port, Mlnatara
and Scotts Bluff, and the doctor Is )ut
about the meet enthusiastic Nebraskan In
that whole section of the stste.
What the raaal Will Do.
"Except Omaha's Jobbers nd wholesalers
the people of the eastern part of the state
dot realize what advancement we are
making out there, nor what a future we
have before us," he said. "In the lat two
years' some of our land has Jumped from
15 to $30 per acre and quarter sections
that were offered then for $1,000 cannot b
bought now for $4,000. This farmers' canal
that I mentioned will boost prices still
higher. It will reclaim 100.000 acres and
can be depended on, for It is big In fact.
It ut 125 feet wide at the month and is
to be thirty-five feet wide. 'bottom meas
urement, seventy-five miles from where
It taps the Platte. Only twenty-five mlls
were dug by the old company, but now
the St. Louis Trust company proposes to
back the St. Louis Construction campany
in the enterprise, the district to give $400,
000 bonds and half the land.
Delay la Only Temporary.
"The new company has already bought
the old one's Interests and I think work
would have been begun before this had It
not been for the death of the head of the
trust company, . which temporarily de
lays matters.
"For the first year alter the railroad
got Into that section, easterners looked
at the country dubiously. Just as I once
did, but now we are catching them from
everywhere and during this last year there
has been an immigration that discounts
anything the section ever saw before. The
population has more than doubled, these
new towns have taken a start, each has its
new church buildings, new four-room
school houses, newspapers and banks. The
Balrd bank's last statement shows deposits
of about $60,000, and the population of the
town is, as yet, only about 300.
"Alfalfa seems the principal magnet In
the drawing of new farmers. And well It
should be, for It has been bringing $3 and
$3.50 per ton. In the stack, and we raise
three crops a year, each averaging two to
three tons per acre. Hogs have flour
ished, there has never . been a case of
cholera and their breeding is becoming
a great industry. Potatoes are to be
raised in great quantities hereafter, also,
experiments having shown that under the
new conditions we can raise them easily.
And am I glad I located there? Well, you
bet I am. 'That section Is td be heard from
often and always favorably hereafter."
FOR SUNDAYS AND EVENINGS
Clerks la Grocery Stores Begin Caan
palgm for More Leisure
Time. .
This week the Retail Clerk's union will
start a campaign to have the grocery
stores of the city closed on Sunday and
on all evenings after 7 o'clock. The of
ficers of the union, with Influential mem
bers of the Retail Grocers' assaclation.
have been working on 'the plan for several
weeks, but It Is only recently thst they
were In shape to do active work. A peti
tion has been drawn up and will be signed
by those persons who are behind the move
ment and will then be presented to every
grocer in the city. So far about forty
have signified their Intention of signing the
agreement.
It Is not expected that the agreement
will be effective until it ki signed by a
large majority of the grocers at least, but
It la possible that the bouses signing will
tor a time live up to Its provisions re
gardless of the action of the others. This
course is pursued In some of the dry gocds
houses, and the managers believe that
their sales have been Increased through
the patronage of persons who believe In
giving the laboring people shorter hours. -
It was stated some time ago in certain
Omaha newspapers that the Grocery Clerk's
union- would undertake to have stores
opened at 8 o'clock In the morning. This
report occasioned some adverse comment
on the part of employers, who feel that
It could not be .done without Injuring the
business, and for this reason members of
the union desire to say that such action
vi as never contemplated.

of ths rottfng carcstses which, acc rdlnj ti

located as not to endanger the clty'a water
supply unless there rh ull be a frs'iet. A'
present they are lying high and dry. at a
considerable distsnce from the bank of tha
river. I have not decided as yet what to
do in the way of a report to the AdvUory
board concerning them, but the city wl'.l
have to do something to prevent the dump

you caa have a letter delivered to any part
of the city where the tree de.ivery of rdi-

every place within the city limits. Now,
the messenger service rhsrges various
prices, depending upon the length of time
required to deliver the letter and ths dis
tance to be traveled. The t'nlted States
Postofllce department takes the letter three
or four miles as cheaply as It all! three or
four blocks and 10 cents pars the bill. It
Is part of the service which should be

Miss Lillian Martin, Graduate of Train
ing School for Nurses, Brantford, Can.,
now of Milwaukee, yis., Testifies that the
Hospital Doctors Rely Upon Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to Cure
Severe Cases of Woman's Ills. She says:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham : While we are taught in the training
schools throughout the country to look down upon patent medicines,
and while the doctor in the hospitals speak slightingly of them to
patients, I have found that they reaUy know different. I have fre
quently known physicians to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compoundto women suffering with the most serious complications of
ovarian troubles, falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, and other disorders.
They would as a rule put the Compound in regular medicine bottles
and label it Tonic,' or other names, but I knew it was your Com
pound, and have seen them fill it in prescription bottles. I have
never seen anything but happy results from its use; inflammation and
ulceration has been relieved and cured in a few weeks, especially
where your Sanative Wash has been applied "also. I feel it but due
to you to give proper credit for Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Com
pound ; I have great faith in it and often recommend it to others."

The process of digest loo is simply explained. In the mouth,
food is masticated and mixed with saliva coBtalulog- a digestani
called p trail n. Ia the stomach, it is acted upon by gastric Juice
containing pepsin, which digests albuminous foods. In the
Intestines, pancreatln is added to digest fats and starches. .
Indigestion always indicates an insufficient amount of one or
all of these dlgeataats. At first thought It seems proper to abstain
from foods not easily digested; but reflection fchows us that
while this affords relief by giving the weakened organs less to
do, it only makes them weaker by giving themlese nourishment.
If you suffer from indigestion, the only right thing to do is to
eat a generous variety of food and digest it by using such a
preparation as Kodol Iyspepbia Cube, which contains all the
known digestants, and completely digest what you eat.
