ALL WRONG. The Mistake Is Made by Many Omaha Citizens. Don't mistake the cause of backache. To be cured you must know the cause. It 1 wroug to Imagine relief la cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. An Omaha resident tells you how this can be, done. Mrs. B. F. Brown of 610 William street says: "For six or eight month's I bad more or less trouble with my back. I told my husband that I thought my kldneya were the cause, and when I saw Doan'a Kidney Pills advertised I procured a box at Kuhn Co.'a drug store, corner 15th and Doug las streeta. They did the work for my case and the symptoms which bad bothered me soon disappeared. I can recommend Doan'a Kidney Pills aa a valuable kidney tnedlclne. " For sale by all dealera. Price, 50 cents.

Jeanette Hegeard Nellie Wagoner, Hans Wagoner s daughter Lillian Coleman One no longer wonders that prim old Boston held onto "The Prince of Pllsen" for five months. It would be a phenom enally cold and unappreciatlve community that would turn Itself against this last, and In many waya best, of the Plxley and Ludera scries. It ts full of songs with swing, tunes with lilt and melody, words that are witty, sentiment that sparkles and Jests that glisten and glitter. And It has voices and faces and figures that mingle and blend harmoniously In stage pictures that ravish both the eye and ear, and lull every sense that can be reached by sweet sound or artistic grouping and coloring. Tall girls and ahort, and girls that are neither tall nor short, girla that can sing, can whistle, can dance, and can movo with charming grace, and young men who have also good figures and good manners, afford the materiala used in forming the series of illustrations used to explain the progress of Hans Wagoner on his career as a prince, which honor he Innocently attrib utes to the fact that they at Nice know that he Is an alderman from the Tenth ward In Cincinnati, and having no equiva lent title in Europe, give him the common one of prince. And Hans is just a good natured. Jolly brewer, whoso German an tecedents are not hidden under a pretence at unsuspected sophistication, but are never made offensively obtrusive. Hla humor la, natural and reasonable, and therefore delicious. His surroundings are only those one would look for on the Ri viera at the time of tho flower carnival, and there are no caricatures In the play. All the fun grows out of the situations that follow the mistake of an over-zealous concierge. The music Is of the light and catchy order, and the songs on the topical line, the one that proved most popular last night being "The American Girl" (the song of the cities). Omaha was paid the com. pllment of being substituted for Chicago In the parade, to the manifest delight of the audience. Another of Plxley's "tales" Is told us, too, this time "The Tale of the Sea Shell." It is very pretty, and the en semble arrangement for the chorus Is most effective; but one may doubt If it ever dia placea that "tale" which relates the fickle ness of the bumble bee, or even that which recounta the tragedy that befell the loving kangaroo. In local favor. These are only two of the many good songs. Mr. John Ronsone is another of the lucky flnda of Mr. Henry W. Savage. Hla former friends at Salnjo, Mo., will hardly recognize their former fellow townsman in the character of a rising comedian whose popularity is ao rapidly mounting; but they may feel assured that he wears the same sized hat he did when he waa with them. Mr. Ronsone's methods are much nearer the legitimate than those of the average comlo opera comedian. He la natural at all times, and never seems to reach for an effect. Mlsa Dorothy Morton has rejoined the company, singing here for the first time ainca the beginning of her vacation the role aha created In Boston, that of Mrs. Crocker. She has two good soloa and a trio, and a aong with the chorus. In "The American Girl" she la asked to perform a real feat of endurance, to sing nine verses, but she doea it well and apparently without really losing breath. Mr. Crane and Miss Llchter hava a remarkably pretty duet, "The Message of the Violet," and Mr. Donaldson and Miss Coleman alng "The Tale of the Sea Shell" with excellent ef fect. Thia latter pair have another ex quisite duet, "Plcturea In the Smoke," which was enthusiastically received last night. The stein aong did not get the welcome that might have been expected, but "Heldleberg," by the same double quartet,' waa called for again, and again. One of the most fashionable audiences aeen at the Boyd thia season waa in at tendance laat night, and apparenty enjoyed every bit of the long program of good things. Not the least enjoyable feature of the evening is the beautiful picture . of the Mediterranean which serves as back ground for the scene of both acta. "The Prince of Pllsen". will be given at a matinee today and again thia evening. CANNOT REVOKE DISCHARGE Derision of Jndce Mnngrer In the Baakrnptey Case of M. Penney. Judge Munger Monday afternoon gave hla opinion in the case of M. Penney of Wood River. Penney filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy two years ago, which waa granted. Following thia proceeding the tide of hia fortunes Jurned and he became pros perous. About then a number of hla cred itors alleged that they discovered that Pen ney waa In reality no bankrupt at any time In his career and that at the time hla pe tition waa allowed he had a large amount of property successfully concealed. Charles P. Knllog sr Co., one of the creditors, made an application to have the discharge revoked and the case reopened. In the decision handed in Monday Judge Munger aaya that the prayer. of the petitioners is necessarily refused because the power of the court is limited to one year after granting the dis charge. A Taoaffhtfal Hsihssi cured his wife of fainting and dizzy spells, weakness, headache and backache with Electric Bitters. Try them. 60c. For said by Kuhn Co.

RECALLS' KILLING OF WILLIAM NESTLE Old Officers May Identify Pis Ryaa as One ( Principals la Marder Cammltted Thirteen Years Ago. ' If the suspicions which now rest against him prove to be true and the officers state that there is every reason to believe that they have not miscalculated Dan J. Ryan, who was bound over to the district court for robbing Benjamin Bahnsen, may be held on a charge of murder, from which he la supposed to have fled about thirteen years ago. Captain Haze, Sergeant Havey and the older members of the police and detective forces state that Ryan bears strong resem blance to Charles Thompson, who committed murder here and then fled. The murder was the result of a burglary which was committed in 1890 in a store on Thirteenth street by Thompson and a pal named Reynolds. They had rifled the store and were making their escape down the alley from Thirteenth to Fourteenth, be tween Farnam and Harney atreets, when they were discovered and chased by Wil liam Nestle, who was employed aa a clerk in the store they had robbed. Thompson made hla escape by shooting Nestle In the stomach. Reynolds was captured, tried and aentenced to seven years In the peniten tiary, but waa pardoned before he served his time. Thompson "Was Never Found. From the night of the burglary until yes terday not one word has ever been heard concerning Thompson. Though a vigilant search was maintained by the Omaha police to locate him, he succeeded In eluding them. Two daya after the ahootlng Nestle died In the police station, which was then located on Davenport street. The prisoner who is now suspected gave the officers the name of Dan J. Ryan when he was arrested. It was remembered that Thompson had an alias similar to that of the prisoner and he was closely questioned. He admitted having been here some years ago, about the time the murder waa com mitted. Ryan saya his age is about 42, which would be that of Thompson, and that ho has been working on the railroad as a graveler. Captain Haze and Detective Savage are certain that Ryan Is Thompson and are searching the gallery of the police depart ment for Thompson's "mug" and also his record. If he proves to be the man wanted he will be held for trial on the charge of murder. CONFERENCES ARE UNDER WAY Railway Managers and Employes' Representatives Continue to Confer Over Grievances. The' three different conferences between railway managers and employes regarding advances In the wage scale are still pending or in progress. The representatives of the engineers and firemen of the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley railroad are still In session with General Superintendent Hughes. The representatlvea of the con ductors and brakemen of the same road were granted a brief Interview yesterday morning, but no definite data was aet for the beginning of their actual conference. They will doubtless wait till the englnemen are through. Aa to the representatlvea of the conductora and brakemen of the Union Pa clflo railway, they have yet received no aign from President Burt aa to when they will be admitted to conference. Employea of the Fremont, Elkhorn Missouri Valley railroad now in the city on business with the officials of the road rela tive to the raising of the wage acale, were silent as the grave yesterday. It is said that General Manager Bldwell of the road waa displeased with the publication Monday of the information that the divers orders of trainmen and englnemen would stand with the telegraphers in demanding reason able treatment for the latter from the road. Mr. Bldwell la said to have termed the facta as published "abnormal truths," and to have held forth with aome emphasis to the trainmen regarding communication with newspaper men. Whatever he may have said has had ita effect, for no member of either adjustment committee will say a word about the conferencea or their prog ress now. KILL THE DAXORIFF GERM. Or Yonr Hair Will Fall Ont Till Yon Become Bald. Modern aclence has discovered that dan druff la caused by a germ that digs up the acalp in scales, aa It burrows down to the roots of the hair, where it destroy's the hair's vitality, causing falling hair, and, ultimately, baldness. After Professor Uanna of Hamburg, Germany, discovered the dandruff germ, all efforts to find a remedy failed until the great laboratory discovery was made which resulted In New bro's Herpiclde. It alone of all other hair preparations kills the dandruff germ. With out dandruff, hair grows luxuriantly. "De stroy the cause,' you remove the effect." Sold by all druggists.

A small but deeply, interested audience greeted Bishop David H. Moore and Dr. William F. Oldham at the First Methodist church last night. The pastor ot the church. Dr. E. Comble Smith, presided After prayer by Rev. George H. Main of the Walnut Hill Methodist church, Dr. J W. Jennings, the presiding elder, intro duced Dr. Oldham, who spoke briefly of the needs of the missionary society of the church and called attention to the fact that two out of three residents of the earth today have not received the message ot Christianity. "There have come to them," he said, ".strong men who taught moral truths, but it ia not teaching these people need, but salvation; not new moral codea, but new moral energies. The unchristian world ia a poor world, and maybe for that reason will be easier Christianized, for you can maintain a native preacher for $30 to $60 a year, and one man In America with little effort may pay tha expensee of a preacher in those fields." ' Bishop Moore followed Dr. Oldham. The bishop referred humorously to the change In the constitution of the church by which the word "layman" baa been aupplanted by the worda "lay members," saying that It waa the vindication of the right ot fit nnnufM'o bronchial uiiuitrn u TROCHES MT- fctMit: prp.rtUa for colda, cm flu, Va4 mat h Mm." naM. a.

He then re ferred to the field ot hla labors, devoting the greater part of his time to Japan, which, he said, "In thia Gettysburg of ta! lng Eastern Asia for Christianity la the Little Round Top, and which. If taken and held by the church, will give the land to Christianity." He paid high tribute to the ability, the morality and the patriotism of the Japanese, saying that when the men went to war the women organized Red Cross societies and provided for the sol diers aa the American women provided for thelra; that In education the Japanese are aa deeply Interested as are the people of America and that in material things they seemed resolved to take all that Christian lands have to offer, but that on the part of certain people there is a feel ing that they do not desire to take the spirituality of 'Christianity and that this spirituality Is necessary for the nation. The speaker then referred to Corea, say ing that the people there welcomed Chris tianity more than those ot either China or Japan, and that a great field Is now opened In the Hermit kingdom. While he spoke less of China than of the other countries, he drew a picture of China as now ready to accept the civilization of the west, and if that civilization came without the Influence of Christianity the countless hordes of bright, capable Chinese would flood the world and dominate all lands, and that it Is not only for the cause of Christianity, but for every material rea son, that Christianity should be carried to the Chinese and made the dominant power of the land. LAWS REALTY MEN DESIRE Legislative Committee of State Real f Estate Association Approves Three Bills. W. L. Selby returned yesterday from Lincoln, where he attended the meeting of the legislative committee of the Nebraska Real Estate Dealers' association. At that meeting there were approved three bills demanded by the real estate dealers at their convention. The first was the one repeal ing the law requiring contracts between owners and agents for the sale of real es tate before a demand for commission can be enforced. The second amends the pres ent foreclosure law ao that upon appeal the mortgagor must give bonds for costs of appeal and rent of property should the decision of the lower court be affirmed, and also fn case a stay execution la taken waives appraisement the stay in such cases to be twelve months In place of nine, as at present. The third law refers to the gath ering of agricultural and Industrial sta tistics aa outlined during the state conven tion ot the real estate dealers.

THE BEST PILL, FOR STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS Free samples at Howell Drug Co., PUTS BLAME ON THE MINERS Coal Dealer Saya Men Eafnsed to Wark During Ckristinas Week. ' GIVES REASON FOR PRESENT SHORTAGE Asserts that Miners Desire Small Out put and Hitch Trices to Help Them in Demand for In crease of Wanes. The warmer weather of yesterday la the only thing which In any way relieved the local fuel situation, as receipts ot coal for tho last twenty-four boura have been eo small as to have little effect. The few coal offices pretending to fill ordora are ao far behind with their work that It Is al most Impossible to get any coal delivered until next week. The dealers attribute the present short age to the refusal of the miners in the ter ritory whiih supplies Omaha with soft coal to work during the holiday week. One company, operating its own mines, reports that during the week of Christmaa three days were absolutely lost by the refusal of the miners to work, and considerable time was lost the following week. The mamiK"r of this company estimates that In the status of Iowa, Missouri and Kansas tho failure of the miners to work produced a sliortuKu of many thousand cars, which, coming with an unusual heavy dcmiind for soft coal In the east, has made the sbortugo on tho local market. ' Statement of an Operator. . "There is to be a meeting of tho miners January 19 to fix the wugea fur the next year," said otie of the members of the com pany, "and for this reason the miners de sire to have a shortage In the supply and very high prices for coal, ao that l hey ran use the condition to force higher wuges. It ts generally understood that there will be a demand for an advance in wages on both time and piecework of about iiU per cent In the states of Ohio, Illinois, Penn sylvania and Iowa, which are the basing states, for wages, and It is almost conceded that the miners will be given an IncreusA approximating 15 per cent all around.
