(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. 19. (Special.) The mys
terious disappearance of $1,020 from the
Lincoln Safe Deposit and Truat company U
occupying the attention of Ihe police. The
money n the property of Mayor Wlnnett
and ii placed In the depository during
the month of November. It wai taken
som time between that time and Decem
ber t. The theft haa been kept quiet by
all partlea concerned nntll today.
Some time ago Mr. Wlnnett went Into
the depository and aecured hit box from
the attendant. He then went Into the pri
vet apartment reaerTed for the customers
and examined the contents. He relockcd
the box and returned It to the attendant.
In replacing; the contents In the box, how
ever, be left the purse containing a $1,000
bill and two 110 bills lying on a shelf In
the private rcom. He then left the bank.
Later he thought of the purse and re
turned to the apart menu to get It. The
Mirth ia an almost in
fallible eign of good
health. A sick woman
may force a smile or at
times be moved to laugh
ter. But when a woman
ia bubbling over with
mirth and merriment abe
ia surely a well woman.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription haa
made thousands of melancholy and mis
erable woven cheerful and Happy, by
curing the painful womanly diseases
which undermine a wotuin'i health and
strength. It establishes regularity and
so does away with monthly misery. It
dries debilitating drains and so cures
the cause of much womanly weakness.
It heaja inflammation and: ulceration,
and cures the bearing -down pain a,
which are auch a source of suffering to
aick women.

purse was gone. Tha matter waa reported
to the manager and the latter by the
records found that very few men had been
In the private apartments since the mayor
had left. These men, who It Is known were
In the apartments, are among the most
prominent In the city, and something sen
sational Is liable to result. One of the
men was put In the sweat box by the police
today, but It Is thought nothing was
learned. The matter haa been reported to
the county attorney, but so far no arrests
have been made and the police are unable
to aay who has tho money.
It waa In this depository that Dr. Far
nam recently discovered that he was $1,600
wealthier than he supposed by finding that
amount In his strong box, with no record
of how It got there. Today Dr. Firnam
said he had found that the $1,600 had been
paid to him by a farmer and that .he had
neglected to make a reccrd of It.
Conference on Charities.
A. W. Clark of Omaha waa In Lincoln
today to attend a meeting of the committee

resentative Kennedy of Omaha Is prepar
ing a bill now to be presented at the next
legislature to make wife abandonment a
felony. Mr. Clark believes the legislature
will pace the law, aa ,11 has been tried In

much good.
Brnsh I'p I.earlalat Ire Hall. '
The desks In the representative hall and
the senate chamber have been brushed up,
revarrrlshed and placed In ahape to receive
the legislators. Cards with the names of
the various legtalatore and the county each
represents have been printed, and the sec
retary of state has printed a map of ths
counties and the names of the legislators.
Everything around the state house Is being
cleaned and put In shape, and there Is ev
ery evidence that something Is going to
occur. Many of the senators and repre
sentative have called at the atate house
and familiarised themselves with the halls,
but very few of them care to talk about
the needs of the state at the bands of th
legislature.

Ia the meantime the governor Is peg
ging away at the message and will havs It
ready for the legislature by the time the
legislature gets ready for It. He refused to
glv out any Information concerning ths
contents of th metsag at thia time. This
refusal, he said, waa due t the fact that
there waa constantly changing conditions
and th message wss changing just aa con
stantly. "Likely th morning th legisla
ture meets there will be some changes la
tha messsge, he said. "I raa't tell my
self. I desire to get up a document that

Knapp waa assured by Governor-Savage that
he would do so. Later he saw Oovernor
elect Mickey, who was passing through the
city, and he, too, promised to recommend
that Nebraska have an exhibit at Portland.
The exhibit at Portland, said Mr. Knspp,
would be no additional cost to the state.
His plan ia to have the exhibit that Ne

Portland at the close of the St. . Louis
exposition. The railroads, he said, had
agreed to ship the exhibit free of cost.
Portland will furnish the buildings In
which the exhibits will be placed unless

buildings. In that case each state will
furnish its own building.
The state of Oregon has appropriated
$500,000; Portland, $500,000, and congreaa
will be asked to appropriate $2,600,000 to
pay the expenses of the exposition. Most
of the states west of the Mississippi havo

exposition.
Governor Mickey was In Lincoln a short
time this morning and left for York, and
