10 TITE OMAnA PAIT.T BEE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1003. HOBSON WANTS BIGGER NAVY Woild Have United States Equal All the World Besides at Eea. HOW TO KEEP INDUSTRIAL SUPREMACY Lata LlMKMit la lhe Servlea Em plnlns III" Theorr Omahn Peo ple at Konntse Mfntrltl Cfcareh. Forty millions of dollars to be spent this year for new warships. $30,000,000 next year, with an increase of $10,000,000 earh year until the navy of the United Statea shall be equal to the combined navies of the world, lumi up the plea of Hlchard Pearson Hob ioo, late lieutenant and naval constructor of the United Btatea navy, at Kountte Memorial church lait night. Mr. Hohsoa appeared under the auspices of the lecture bureau of the Young Men'a Christian assoclstlon. He waa Introduced by J. M. Olllan, who briefly referred to hla exploit at Santiago and In China. In opening he said that America Is entering upon a new era of history and must become a world power, and for that reason It Is the duty of alt American citizens to pay more attention to the general political and social conditions of the people of other natlona. He compared the ability of the average American with the average Euro peaa and said that It Is demonstrated that the producing power of America Is approx imately one-tblrd of that of the entire human race, and that It Is Increasing by Immigration and natural Increase almost double that of the average of all the other countries, so that within a comparatively few years the United States will be able to produce material equal to the total pro duction of the world. Why the Nary Is Heeded. Referring to sociological conditions, he said the citizen of the United Btatea Is the only civilian who Is not burdened with the evils and expense of military government and strong central power; that the history of the development of the natlona of Eu rope shows that each baa come up through military force that race after race has been driven across the continent, to disappear before a more warlike power, while In the United Statea the development has been entirely along industrial lines, and that for this reason the United Btatea will stand aa the champion of the new era In history which la to place militarism In the back ground and make industrial force the dom inant force In the development of natlona. Avery other country has conquered or been conquered, and the people of those coun tries stand today either fearing the ad vance of a hostile army or dreaming of a conquest to avenge former wrongs, while the American citizen does not look forward to a time when this country shall Invade the territories of Its neighbors, snd cer. talnly does not fear the march of foemen. The measure of the devotion of the Amer ican to principle can be seen from the his tory of the civil war, where Americana, Inspired by convictions of right on either side, foustat battles with greater fatalities than any war of previous times, and in which war the're were regiments which lost In one engagement more than 60 per cent of their members, while the celebrated charge at Balaklava coBt the famous Light Brigade only about 38 per cent. Salvation for Oar Industries. He dwelt upon the statement that the only way In which the industrial force can overcome the military force Is through a strong navy, which, he said,' will not bear upon the people, aa the central government Is so remote from the people that no one will feel any burden through the raising of funds, and the fact that the force is upon the ssss will make any Increase in the mil itary spirit In this country difficult It not Impossible through that source; that auch a navy Is absolutely necessary for the pur pose of carrying out the distinctive Ideaa of the American people, as the other na tions of the world will respect the ideas of America In proportion to the size of the navy which It has to enforce them. Mr. Hobson referred to the action of the United Statea in Japan and in China in 1860 and before, when it returned to the nations a sum of money paid aa indemnity, while the other nations, which received like Indemnities, kept the funds, aqd while Germany at the walls of Paris starved the city Into subjection, from his prison win dow at Santiago be had seen 18,000 old men, women snd children march from the gates to be fed upon the rations of the beleaguering army; that while other na tions bad laid Indemnity upon conquered people, the United Statea had paid Spain 120,000,000 and had transported its troops home from the land It had lost. At the conclusion of the address the audience, which occupledthe greater part of the church, took part In an informal reception which waa tendered the speaker.

The following public statement of a respected citizen adda one more emphatic endorsement of merit to the scores that cava appeared before. Mra. F. Mach of 1221 South 15th at. says. "I first felt sharp twinges acroaa the small or my bark, I paid little at tention to them thinking they would pass away In a ibprt time, but instead I grew worse and finally get so bad I could not do my work. My husband bought many kinds of medicine for me, but nothing helped me until he procured Doaa'a Klduey Pills at Kuhn Ca'i drug store, corner 15th and Douglas streets. They benefited me right along and In a ahort time I waa all right.

Tea Tan Try It for Yonraelf and Prove It. One grain of the active principle In Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3.000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment, which anyone can per form for himself In the following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs Into very small pieces, as It would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets In a bottle or Jar containing warm water heated to 9S degrees (the temperature of the body), and keep It at thla temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as It would have been In the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment Is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg In the bottle It will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and Invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and bene fit If its digestion Is weak, and the thou sands of curea accomplished by their regu lar dally use are easily explained when It la understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingles with the food and digests It thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the Intestines. When enough food Is eaten and promptly digested there will be no constipation, nor. In fact, will there be disease of any kind, because good digestion means good health In every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspep. sla Tableta are world-wide and they are aold at the moderate price of 50c for full sized package In every drug store in the United- States and Canada, as well aa in Europe. Joining her apartment was that of Mra. Sarah Davis. Friday evening Mrs. Davis discovered that her room had been broken Into and a Boston store bank containing $65, stolen from her trunk. The next morning Mrs. Scott changed her residence and found lodging at 2617 North Twenty sixth street. Dally she returned to her former residence. Yeaterday while De tectives Druramy and Mitchell were search ing tor her she returned again and attacked Mrs. Davis. During the encounter, which grew out of Mra. Davla suspecting Mrs. Scott of the theft, Mrs. Davis accidentally got the first finger of her right hand Into Mrs. Scott's mouth. The member was nearly bitten off before assistance arrived. Mrs. Scott was later arrested and taken to the station, while Mrs. Davis sought the services of Assistant Surgeon Hahn, who dressed the chewed linger. STORY' OF OLD INDIAN'S LOVE How lie Was Married on His Death Bed to Girl of His Choice. Henry Blackbird, accompanied by Fred Cayou, an Interpreter, Is In the city to con sult with the United States attorney re garding the disposition of thje property of John C. Fremont, one of the former mem bers of the Omaha council and one of the last men to bear the title of chief. . Fre mont died a year ago thla month and left a will, which Blackbird, who Is a half-brother of the deceaaed, has determined to have set aside. According to the story told by Blackbird, Fremont, who waa a very old man, became enamored with Memushone, a maiden of his race, but waa compelled by reason of the opposition of his children to refrain from marrying her. Against the tradition of the tribe, Memushone and Fremont lived to gether for some time, and when he came to die he promised to leave her lntereat In eighty acres of land and an Income of $50 per month from bis estate as long as she should live on the home place and care for his minor children. While Fremont was dying a white preacher waa secured from a neighboring town and at the request of the Indian woman per formed a ceremony of marriage between the unconscious Indian and the woman, and this ceremony tb,e heirs of Fremont desire to have aet aside, claiming that It la of no effect, as the bridegroom was unable to understand word or to express his assent. He died a short time after the ceremony. according to Blackbird's stor7, and later a will waa produced which gave hla wife a greater interest In the property than he had expressed as his intention. The widow has now . married another member of the tribe Cbarlea McCawley and the heirs desire to have the will con strued according to the verbal expressions of the deceased. The case will be tried In Tburaton county in caae the United States district attorney decides that the heirs should be permitted to go Into court. Hofmelster la Taken Back. Deputy Sheriff J. B.

It Is his allegation that he used to collect laundry and have the work done by them for a per cent, that they finally discon tinued thla and also barred him from hav ing his work done' at South Omaha, Council Bluffs or Lincoln; that he then went to Fremont, and made an arrangement with the Hyatt-Townsend firm there, but that shortly after the laundrymen in Omaha and South Omaha called Hyatt to Omaha and told htm If he continued to do the Boschert work they would install a vigor ous rival at Fremont and retaliate; that thereupon tne Fremont firm inclined to serve bim also, and that now tbe business which wax his for years Is ruined, and he Is damaged In consequence. MISCALLED "HAIR TONICS." Most Hair Preparations Are Merely Scalp Irrltsyits, of No Value. Most hair preparations are merely scalp Irritants, miscalled hair tonics. When hair Is brittle, lusterless and beglna to fall out, the 'dandruff germ- Is getting in its deadly work at the root, aapplng the vitality. Since science discovered that dandruff is a germ disease there has been only one preparation put on the market that will actually destroy the dandruff germ, and that is Newbro's Herplclde. It allays itch ing instantly, destroys the germ, and then' falling hair stops, and hair growa luxu riantly. Ask your druggist for Herplclde. It allays Itching Instantly; makes hair grow.

Mrs. Ctroaby performed the different themes and motifs of the opera, speaking the declamatory verse with the music. She dwelt on the beautiful spring song and the love music of Slgmund and Slgllnda and their contrast with the harsh and sinister chords of the pursuit and storm music which they follow. Mrs. Crosby repeatedly called attention to the classic perfection of form displayed In the constantly recurring therc.es and to the masterly orchestration of Wagner. A. O. V. W. Ball.

Bridget O'Flannlarnn Shoota John . Snod grass. In consequence of an adverse verdict by a Jury of twelve men, faithful and true, the plaintiff, Bridget. O'Flannlgan, takes a deadly aim at the defendant, John Snod- graas, and but for certain conditions which prevailed would have taken his life. Bridget had aued John for $10,000 damages for breach of promise. The caae was tried and the evidence, with the instructions of the Judge, were given to the Jury, and the Jury bad Just rendered lta decision, in favor of the defendant, when Bridget, realizing lost cause, deliberately took her revolver from the folds of her dress, where during tbe trial ahe had concealed It, and fired point blank at the defendant. Just aa he had finished shaking hands with his attor ney who had so ably defended him. Attor ney Fitch appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney Bevtns for the defendant. Judge Rapp presided. There waa an audience of over 604 people present to hear the testi mony of wltnoases and arguments of the attorneys. After the shooting took place excitement ran high. Many were surprised at the verdict rendered, for it was evident from the testimony that tbe girl had good grounds upon which to base her claim for damages. Much sympathy was excited in her behalf from the beginning and this will account for her not being arrested after the shooting occurred. Mr. Snodgrasa him self even declared that he would not prose cute the girl for an attempt upon his life. Bridget halls from the state of Washing ton and has evidently been well trained in the uae of a gun. Both plaintiff and de fendant are students of the Omaha Com mercial college, and both attorneys, as well as the Judge, are students of the Omaha School of Law. The trial took place last Saturday night at the rooms of the Omaha Commercial college and it contained tho greatest amount of reality for a mock trial it haa ever been our pleasure to attend. All parties participating were suitably cos tumed and the attorneys employed made a desperate fight for the Justice of their cause. The evening was one never to be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to be present. The college orchestra played a funeral dirge, while the limp form of young Snod grasa waa being revived by Dr. KlII-em-qulck. Annonneementa of tbe Theaters.

FIREMEN FINALLY TURN HOSE ON HIM Attacks Jailer with Sharp-Pointed Donrd, Torn Vrpm Hickory Bank In His Cell After Break Ins; Handcuffs. For two hours yesterday Harry Burke, a prlaoner In tbe city Jail, beld tbe officers at bay with a large five-foot piece of pointed board, while he threw mlislles' promiscuously around the corridor, tore the grating from the aewer opening near his cage, ripped the closet in his cell from its fsstenlngs and broke a pair of handcuffs with which he bad been shackled. During the fore part of . the morning Burke, who had been given ten days yes terday for vagrancy, worked himself into a frenzy of anger because of some Imaginary grievance which he bald against the police. He raved like a madman, cried and wept at intervals and howled and cursed. - The fit of madness grew worse when Jailer Kirk and several other officers entered Burke's cell for the purpose of putting the hand cuffs on him. He fought like a madman. During tbe struggle he sunk his teeth doep Into the fleshy part of Jailer Kirk's right hand, sent two of tbe other officers spinning like tops across his cage and attacked tbe bars w(th his cuffs. Brraka His Handcuffs. Every effort waa made to quiet the pris oner, who continued working upon his cuffs until he bad broken tbe steel fetters. Then he proceeded to tear up everything In bis cell. Including the hickory bunk. Arming hlmtielf with a five-foot piece of sharp pointed board he laid In wait for the first person who chanced to pass by his csge. It 'proved to be Jailer Kirk. Unthoughtful of any danger the Jailer waa first warned of his perilous position when Burke, with a cry of rage, made a rush for him with the sharp atlck. Luckily the Jailer dodged In time to prevent being wounded. Captain Mostyn ordered that Burke be subdued by having the Jail hose turned oa bim. The small stream only served to In tensify the anger of the prisoner. The cap tain then sent for a squad of firemen and several lengths of hose. An outside window was raised and the cell deluged with chilling water. Secreting himself behind the plata upon the cell door Burke defied the firemen to reach him. A aide window was quickly broken out and the full force of the stream played through the bars of Burke's cell. Tbe prisoner waa then thrown into one corner of the rage. GraHplng for support the cuff from hia wrist accidentally dan gled through tbe bars and was caught by the Jailer, who beld bim until the door of the cell was opened and Burke could be overpowered.
