W. Clark, superintendent of the Child
laving Institute, against whom and which
Laura K. Fagan, formerly Mrs. Laura K.
Stckesberry, through her attorney, John O.
Yelaer, has brought action In the district
court for the recovery of her child, Elmer,
3 years of age, placed in the Institute and
' alleged to have been spirited away and re
fused her evn on an alleged order of her
divorced husband, makes a full denial of
the charges preferred!
Mr. and Mrs. Stokroberry were divorced.
At the time nothing was decided as to the
disposition cf their child.. Later it waa mu
tually surrced to place it In the Institute at
the- father's expense. Subsequently the
former Mrs. Stokenberry, bearing the name
of another man Fagan appeared at the
, Institute with an order purporting to be
fiora Stokesberry, . bearing his signature
- and calling On the Institute authorities to
deliver the child to Its mother. Palling to
get the child, Mrs. Fagan, through her at.
torney. Instituted suit against the Institute
and- Its superintendent, alleging that the
child had been secreted from her. Of this
Mr. Clark says:
Calls for Her Child.
"Mrs. Fagan came to the Institute and
presented what purported to be an order
signed by Stokesberry for the delivery of
the child to his mother. I was not at the
Institute and the application was made to
Mrs. A. M. F.dwards, assistant superin
tendent. Blie told her the child was not
there, that he had been taken away by
his father and, she supposed, taken to
Illinois, for the father mentioned Illinois
when he took his child. When Btokes
berry brought us the child ho warned us
particularly not to let him out on the de-
mand of his mother, and suggested that
she might present an order purporting to
be from him, but that such would be a
forgery and to Ignore It. Bo even had the
Child been there at the time, what could
we have done? All our transactions were
with the father and he emphatically In
structed us not to let the mother have the
child under any circumstances. We did,
therefore, the only thing we could and are
not subject to any legal prosecution. The
child was well taken care of during Its
stay with us and the father never had any
, criticism to make, lie took It away on the
advice of his people In Iowa. It was gone
. a considerable time when the mother came
, (or It. They declared that they saw It
playing around In the front yard only a
minute before entering the building to ask
for It, but Mrs. Edwards assured them
. that they did not could not for It had
. been gone some time. This la the case, and
, I wish it to be thoroughly understood, for
we have been placed In the wrong light by
the Institution of the action against us."

SEXTON TALKS OF CIRCUIT
Gets Pledges to lasare Saccess In
Lincoln nnd IMctares Glonlns
Achievements.
M. It. Bexton, president of the Western
league, passed through the city this morn
ing, having conferred briefly with Wlllinm
Rourke, president and manager of the
Omaha base ball team. President Sexton
was enroute to his home at Rock Island
after a conference with business men nt
Lincoln regarding the prospects for placing
a team In that city next year.
As a result of the canvas which has
been made at Lincoln over 13,0(10 In pledges
have been secured. The committee having
the selection of a new town to take
I'eorla's place In the Western league next
year, consisting of D. C Packard and R. R.
Burke of Denver and Rourke, desire that a
town shall be secured which shall be on
the eastern edge of the circuit. The selec
tion of a town to succeed Milwaukee doubt
less will result In the naming of some town
still further east.
President Bexton says that the towns
which will remain In the Western league
Include Des Moines, Omaha, Bt. Joseph,
Colorado Springs, Denver, and Kansas
City if Milwaukee Is given to the American.
Mr. Sexton said that base ball would be
a success In Lincoln If an attendance of
0,000 people could be assured during the
reason. All of the subscriptions which
have been made at Lincoln have been made
with the understanding that there Is to be
no Sunday base ball. It was Sexton's
opinion that this would be a hard thing to
overcome, end that It might menn a failure,
as the managers of bane ball teams In
nearly every town look to their Sunday
games for their profits.
The future of the Western league was
pictured by President 8exton in glowing
terms. It is highly probable that another
will be named to succeed Mr. Sexton as
president at the annual meeting, which Is
to be held soon. It Is claimed that Sexton
does not give that attention to the Western
league which he should and that he de
votes all his energies to something higher,
looking, It has been alleged, to the presi
dency of the American. '

John Davis, detective, who lives at Thir
tieth end Dodge streets, has neglected to
send his minor children, Chester and
Rlanche .to school. Evidence was adduced
in behalf of defendant to show that the

Book I on the Heart.
Book t on the Kidneys,
Book 4 for Women, i
Book 5 for Men, (sealed).
Book I on Rheumatism.
i
Mo money 1 wanted.
Blmply select the book you need.
It la my experience as a specialist of 30 years. In the book I tell
how at last I found a way to reach difficult, deep seated diseases.
Thirty year of earnest, ardent toll In hospitals and at bedsides, made
It possible for me to write these books.
The books tell how I perfected my prescription Dr. Shoop's Restor
ative. How by sclenttflo experiment I traced out the causes that bring
ton chronic diseases.
I found Invariably where there waa a weakness, that the Inside
nerves were weak.
Where there was a lack of vitality that the vital nerves lacked
power .
Where weak organs were found, I always found weak nerves.
Not the nervee commonly thought of, but the vital organs nerves.
The Inside the Invisible nerves.
This was a revelation.
Then my real success began.
Then I combined Ingredient tht would strengthen that would
vitalise these nerves.
That prescription I called a restorative. It Is known the world over
now as Dr. Bhoop'a Restorative. After that I did not fall to cure one
ease In each hundred. In the extremely difficult cases, by failures fop
five years were one In each forty treated. I found cancer incurable.
Cancer la for surgery, not medicine.
Then how to get this prescription to the sick ones everywhere was
my nougnt. , ,
I must announce It In the publlo press. But, thought I, will they
realise the real truth of my discovery The real power of Dr. Shoop's
Restorative? Then a way came to me like a revelation.
- "I will offer to the sick on trial," said I, "then they will know I am sin
cere." I wrote a reliable druggist In each city and village in America.
I got their consent to co-operate with me.
Now to any sick one
Dr. Shoop's Restorative
Can be taken on trial.
r a full month I will let you use It entirely at my risk.
Send no money. Just write me for the book you need. When I
send It I will tell you of a druggl.it near you who will permit the
month's trial.

gist, "It did not help me," that will relieve you of any expense what
ever. He will bill the cost to me.
ThU Is ray way of clearing your mind of all doubt as to what Dr.
Bhoop'a Restorative can do.
No matter how prejudiced, you cannot dispute this absolute security
I offer.

Depite Threat to Boycott.
GREAT WESTERN RATE WILL STAND
Stohr Confers with Ills Chief In
Chicago Rrarardlna the Dold
Demand Made by Kan
aaa City.
A man actively engaged In the grain busl
nesg mude the statement yesterday that
Omaha need have no fear as to being dis
criminated against In the matter of grain
rates in favor of Kansas City by the Chi
cago Great Western. He asserted that
he had information direct from President
Stlckney that nothing would be done In
changing the Kansas City rate until the
merchants of this city were consulted and
satisfied.
The stand taken by the Kansas City mer
chants was still the principal topic of
conversation about the Chamber of Com
merce Saturday morning. One grain dealer
said that there was an easy way to arrange-
matters, so that It would be equit
able to all concerned if the grain men and
railroads running out of Kansas City would
agree to the proposition, and that Is to
put all western markets on an equal foot
ing at ail points In the United States.
"At present Kansas City has a propor
tional rate to Minneapolis of 14 cents on
wheat, whilo the proportional from here
to the same point Is 8 cents, but on the
other hand to even up matters, we pay 1
cents more on business south to the gulf
fhan Kansas City has to pay," he said.
"Now, it is argued, if the Kan bus City
dealers would use their influence to get
the roads running south to make a - rats
which would put this city on a parity with
Kansas City, we would not object to al
lowing a rate to be made from there to
Minneapolis the same as the one we now
have. In fuct, this would be a great
benefit to us, aa It would allow the Im
mense amount of corn which is produced
in Nebraska an outlet through the gulf,
and this would far outweigh the benefit
of a low rate on wheat to Minneapolis.
Little bra In Goea North.
"At present very little wheat Is shipped
from this point to Minneapolis and St. Paul,
und although If a market was established
here the amount would grow larger gradu
ally, still at all timea the advantage of find
ing an outlet for our corn via the gulf
would far outweigh, at least for many
years to comet the benefit derived by having
an advuntagl over Kansas City In our
wheat rates to the north. But it is the gen
eral Impression that Kansas City will not
agree to a plan of this kind even If the
railroads which run south from that place
could be brought to see the advantage
which they wculd derive by a reduction In
the rate that would place us on an equal
ity." P. C. Stohr, genera traffic manager of
the Chicago Great Western, who was
brought to Omaha a few days ago by the
action of the' Kansas City grain men, left
Friday night for Chicago for the purpose
of conferring with President . Stlckney re
garding the tangle which has been brought
about by Kansas City's threat at boycotting
the Chicago Great Western. Mr. Stohr ex
pressed the opinion before leaving that
nothing would be done in the way of chang
ing grain rates out of Kansas City by his
road Individually. It is his belief that If
any action Is taken bearing on the matter
It will be by all the roads converging there
Jointly. .

California Sends In . Cauliflowers,

Lot of Oranges.
The California cauliflowers and the Cali
fornia tomatoes are In town, having clubbed
together and taken a" whole car for the
sake of privacy. Tho cauliflowers ore
looking a little pale after the journey, but
are Insisting on a wholesale price of $2.75
per crate of two or three more than two
dozen. The tomatoes are feeling Indisposed
and did not leave their car until the arter
noon. The same state has Invaded the
field of poor old Virginia and has sent to
the market a consignment of sweet pota
toes. The old south has no show at all
It would seem. These are the first aweets
from California and are selling to the
grocers at 76 cents a bushel. The Cali
fornia naval reserves are due to arrive and
are said to be fine oranges for so early In
the year. There are also some superior
seed oranges.
Beets do not come from California at any
rate, so that the market ia not an entire
monopoly. These fresh beets which are
being exhibited came from Texas and
would seem to indicate that the Lone Star
state la not such a bad place. The cran
berries are doing a nice business now and
are engaged In stocking up the groceries
for the turkey rush. . The bell and bugle
variety is going to the retail dealers at
about $9.60 and the jumboea are about a
