Hone Take Nothing.
THREATEN TO STOP . HER SCREAMS
When Tbey Depart Neighbors Fear to
Aaswer Her Cries for Help aad
Walt for Police to
Come. '
Mrs. Clarence Hough had an exciting ex
perience with two burglers who Invaded her
home at 428 Bast Broadway at an early hour
yesterday moralng. She was alone In the
house, her husband being a fireman at No.
4 hose house. Shortly after 1 o'clock she
was awakened to And two men with masked
faces In her room, one of whom held a
lighted lamp. They demanded that she tell
them where she kept her money. Eh com
menced to scream and the men threatened
her with violence If she did not keep quiet
The Intruders then tied her haada and
feet with pieces of clothesline which they
had secured In the cellar and lifting her
out of bed placed her in a chair, throwing
some of the bedclothes over her. By this
time Mrs. Hough was too thoroughly fright
ened to scream. While one of the fellows
stood guard over her the other ransacked
the house In search of money, but failed to
find any. Falling In his search the second
fellow agala demanded that Mrs. Hough tell
him where she kept her money, saying that
he knew she had some In the house, as her
husband had drawn his pay that day. Mrs.
Hough told him there was no money In the
house and that her husband had It with htm
at the fire house.
The fellows then left and Mra. Hough,
managing to free herself, opened the win
dow and screamed for help. Her cries
aroused the aelghbors, but none of them
dared to enter the house until the arrival
of Officer Callaghan.
The thieves entered the house by an east
window which had been left unlatched, and
made their exit the same way. They were
evidently only after money, for although
the house was ransacked from top to bot
tom, even some of the plctureg being taken
from the walls In their search, nothing was
taken from the premises. The police are of
the opinion that the burglars are local char
acters from the fact that they were aware
of Hough drawing his pay that day.

LINDT GETS PRALOR PROPERTY
Court Decides Salt of Heirs to Re
cover Property in Attor
ney's Favdr.
Another suit ' in the litigation over the
Pralor property, which Attorney Llndt
sucoeeded "In wresting from the Bchllts
Brewing company, haa been decided in
favor of the attorney. Judge Smith Mc
pherson handed down his decision yester
day In the suit brought in the United
States court by Frank Pralor and other
heirs of Mrs. Anna Pralor, deceased,
against Llndt, finding for the defendant-
The history of the Pralor property lit
igation has been frequently aired In the
courts. Mrs. Anna Pralor, a colored wo
man, conducted a saloon on West Broad
way, which waa a well known resort for
colored people of both sexes. Shortly be
fore her death she became Indebted to the
Schllt Brewing company tn the eum of
$1,500 for beer. In payment of thla debt
abe deeded the brewing company the lot at
1021 West Broadway. The Schllts Brewing
company erected on the property a two
story brick building at a cost of $5,000.
Then Attorney Llndt produced a deed to
the property, which he claimed had been
conveyed to him by Mrs. Pralor shortly
before her death for legal services rend
ered her by htm and for money he had ad
vanced her. Llndt brought suit to have
the deed to the brewing company set aside
and declared illegal and void on the
grounds that a part of the consideration
for the property had been liquor, which
under the laws of Iowa made the convey
ance null and void. The suit was decided
in the district court In Llndt's favor. The
brewing company took the case to the
supreme court, the result being another
victory for Llndt. Then Llndt sued ths
brewing company for back rent on the
building and for damages. This suit was
brought In the superior court and Llndt
secured a verdict for $3,718.14.
After the supreme court had decided the
suit In favor of Llndt, by which the
Schllts Brewing company had to surrender
the $5,000 building It had erected, Frank
Fralor and other heirs of Mrs. Anna Pra
lor brought suit against Llndt In the
united States court to have aet aside the
deed from their mother to Llndt. They al
leged that Llndt secured the deed at a
time when Mrs. Pralor was near to death's
door and wholly Incapable of realising
the Import of her act.
In his ruling Judge MoPherson holds that
Llndt's service to Mrs. Pralor were of the
value of $3,000, ss shown by the evidence
and that the deed of the property to hlci
in payment for these services waa bonaBde
and bore Mrs. Pralor" s signature and not
her mark, as alleged by the plaintiffs, and
that In view of the fact that the heirs
did not bring suit to set aside thla deed
until after the supreme court had decided
In Llndt's favor, the ruling of the oourt
would be adverse to the plaintiffs.

Damage Suits Threatened.
A serlea of heavy damage suit I threat'
ened as the result of an effort on the part
of city officials to make use of bloodhound
for tracking thieve. Two dogs belonging
to J. B. Fulton of Beatrice, Neb., were se
cured bv the city official and given a
trial. The first chance to make use of
them was when Charles Davis, a farmer liv
ing southwest of the city, reported the loss
of some chicken from hi hencoop. The
chief of police and other took the dogs
to ths place of thei larceny and set them
on the track of the thieves. The dogs fol
lowed a trail which led Into Valley Junc
tion and into the yard of Harvey McClurg,
who Is sexton of the Methodist church at
Valley Junction. His son-in-law, Harvey
Heller, lives with him. Both are highly
respected people. When the dogs gave In
dicatlon that thev had followed a trail to
this house the officers demanded admittance
late at night, aroused the family and made
a disturbance. McClurg and Heller ob
Jected seriously to having anyone enter
their home with big dogs at midnight, but
the officers made a search of the premise
and found nothing. Now suits for damages
are to be brought against Mayor Brenton,
Chief of Police Maltland, Detective Brackett
and Farmer Davis, by both of the men who
considered their reputations injured by th
action of the dogs.
Ono Bill Unsigned.
Governor Cummin has in his possession
one unsigned bill passed by the general
assembly and he has until next Sunday to
decide whether he will veto it or not. It
is a bill to require that where premium

county where the maker of the note live
At present practically all the note of this
character are made payable and collectable
at the office of the company. In case a
company disposes of the notes or become
Insolvent suits are commenced by the
wholesale and the note holder pay rather
than stand suit, even if the note fail to
represent real insurance. The attorney
general la of the opinion the law la un
constitutional, aa ons that would Impair
the obligation of contracts and it Is prob
able the governor will refuse to allow th
bill to become a law.

LETTERtoVOUHG LR0.ES
From tho Treasurer of the Young
People's Christian Temperance
Association.
Miss Elizabeth Oalne, Fond du' Lac, Wis.
The advent of womanhood i fraught with danger which even crful
mothers too often neglect. Som of the danper are belated and suppressed
menstruation. " The Illy droop on it stem and diea bfor it beauty i
unfolded." It is well demonstrated In Mia Cainc's letter that Ljrdla K.
l'inkham'a Vegetable Compound is certain to assist nature to perform
her regular duties, and voting women who are irregular, or hare any ailment
J peculiar to their se should hasten to commence the use of Lydla ft. Pink'
iam'8 Viretabl Compound, and then sit down and write a letter to Mr.
I'inkham telling her all about their illness ; he will give the case careful
and motherly consideration, and advise Just what to do to get well s 6he considers
uch letters triotly confidential ; she will charge nothing, and thoubands of
young women owe their present health and happiness to her advice.
Mrs. Pinkham Invites all younjr women who are ill to write
her for advice. Address Lynn, Mass.. giving full particulars.
MISS ELIZABETH CAINK.
"Dear Mas. Pinkham : I want to tell you and all the young ladles
of the country, how grateful I am to you for the benefits I have received
from using Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
eight months from suppressed menstruation, and it affected my entire sys
tem until I became weak and debilitated, and at times felt that I had a
hundred aches in as many places. I only used the Compound for a few
weeks, but it wrought ft change in me which I felt from the very begin
ning. I have been very regular since, have no pains, and find that my
entire body is as if It was renewed. I gladly recommend Lydla E. Plnk
ham's Vegetable Compound to everybody." Miss Elizabeth Caine,
69 W. Division St, Fond du Lac, Wis.
"When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experi
ences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposi
tion to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for
solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery
to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly.
At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydla E. Plnkham's Vege
table Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change,
and is tho surest reliance for woman's ills of every nature.
When you ask for Mrs. Plnkham's medicine at your druggist, ,
do not be persuaded to take something else said to be M Just as
pood." Nothing In the world Is so good for women's Ills.
