THE OMAHA DAILY lEE: FIJI DAY. FHRTITAUY 3. 1MU. m M nm m nil i - mnu ..ffc i ii il I HIW a A nervous, Irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, Is unfit to care for children ; It ruins a child's disposition and reacts uoon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she Cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condi tion needs attention, and she cannot do better than to take Uydia E; Pinkham's.Vegetable Compound 3j u i It builds up her system, strengthens her nerves, and enables her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. .

The relief of Okehadja occurred on January 17. Em peror William's birthday, and was without loss. ' "On January 21 there occurred a terrific battle between the gallant little German force and the enemy, who numbered thou sands. The enticement lasted for six hours and ended with the storming; of the main camp of the enemy, situated on Kaiser Wllhelm mountain. Four Germans ' were wounded. After this detest the enemy withdrew to the Otjlsangatl hills, but we succeeded In setting away all the stolen tattle. "The enemy devastated all the farms and the railroad stations in the Windhoek and Okhadja region and a portion of the Karibib and barracks of the mountain bat tery at Johann Albrecbt s heights. The losses so far are known to be -forty-four settlers. Including women and children killed, and In moat cases the bodies were mutilated. The military losses amount to twenty-alx, and there have been fifty other fatalities. It Is probable that Catadis has bees besieged since January 11 The march en Omararu will be begun tomorrow. "Colonel Leutweln, governor of German Fouthwwst Africa, la expected here by steamer on February t. JLIeutenan( Winkler lias arrived here with support from the steamer Ernest Woermenn." This news was circulated In extra editions of the papers late this evening and caused universal rejoicing. plant during the sitting of the appraisers next week. This, It Is thought, will occupy about the entire week. The program at outlined Is for the board then to adjourn, giving the city some ten days to prepare its case. This schedule is merely tentative, however, and may be changed. It haa been ' discovered that the water company In the schedules submitted has not given the weight of the pipes. This Is an important consideration and some way must be devised to determine the figures. BLAMES THE WATER COMPANY alrsaaa Beye af Ceaaamlsaleaere Says It Haa Bee a Derelict All Aleag.

FRANKFORT, K. Feb. 4-Wllllara J. Bryan spoke tonight by Invitation of the Kentucky legislature to a crowd that filled the Capitol theater, while many were turned away. Both sides of -the general assembly adjourned and held memorial services In honor ot William F. Goebel to day in tbe hail of tbe house of repre sentatives. Bryan and several members of the legislature made eulogistic addresses end an original poem was read. Bryan in . his address compared Henry Watterson. the Louisville editor, te the Greek character in Quo Vadia, who. after s life of crime.-repented and said 1 "I too. am a Christian." He aaid be hoped Wat terson would yet repent and be a democrat. Referring to Goebel. Bryan said his mur der wss encompassed by corporate In fluences that had determined he should never be governor. He said the man who wrote Goebel he shoul never be governor Is alive now and hia name is mentioned In connection with the chairmanship ot the democratic national committee. He derotefl some time to Grover Cleve land, saylrlg MrKlnley'a Indictment of Cleveland, In whk'h he said Cleveland made money the master of man, he believed was correctly drawn. Bryan aaid he did not want an organisation of the democratic party, because he did not want the party to take tbe chance of falling into the hands of the money power. Commercialism in politics, be declared, was now the great est menace te the country. He said he heard of -one precinct In Dela ware where all the votes were bought and one auctioned off brought S&e. He said the money question was no more dead now than In IK and he discussed at length trusts and monopolies that he aaid are be ing fostered under ths republican party. He also scored President Roosevelt's pol icy toward Cuba and on the Panama ques tion. , RATES LOOK GOOD 10 OMAHA Sew TtriSa oa Grain bj Bock - felted Eegarded Favorable, SHORTAGE IN CARS ON MOST OF ROADS While This Caadltloa Lasts shippers Are et "Expected ta Derive Mark BeaeSt front the X.a w Rates.

Cherry Pectoral course of investigating the same proceeded to visit a number ot those who had been cured. The result of their Investigation was that they both got hilariously drunk early in the day and were given a ride in "the hrrry-up wagon. This cure worked ail right, for Mr. Jackson was very sober In police court. The Rock Island has itsued Its new grain tariffs, t-upies of which liave been reeelved at the local offices of the company. An examination of them discloses the fact that they are favirable to Omaha. The through rates from Nebraska points to the Mississippi river and Chicago hi most cases average 1 tol cents lower than the sum of the rate Into Omaha and the proportional out. thus practically forc ing ail grain shipments ahlch originate on the line of the Rock Island west of this city to -stop here. The Beatrice rate on wheat, for Instance, la 2E cents through to Chicago, while the fate Into Omaha and the' proportions out added, makes a rate of 3 cents; from South Btnd the through" rate is Jo1 cents, and the sum of, the two rates is 184 cents. Consequently j it will be seen that Nebraska shippers can stop their grain In this city for milling or cleaning and secure a lower through rate than If it were shipped direct from the originating station to the Chicago mar ket. . ' From points on the Rock Island west of Belleville. Kan., the rates to Omaha and Kansas City are equal, so that shippers may- choose between the two markets, there being no discrimination in favor of one as against the other. East of Belleville the rates on the line running to Omaha are In favor of this market and those on the line running Jo Kansas City are lower to that point. Since the grain rates have been so greatly reduced to all msrkets from western points shippers have experienced a great deal of difficulty in securing cars to Carry their shipments. One large concern tn this city stated that but nne road Is at present furnishing cars to meet the demand, and that is the Great Western. All other lines Pleading a shortage of equipment. Law Rates Held Respeaalble. It Is believed the low rates at present In effect on grain are responsible for this shortage, aa there haa been little com plaint from shippers dealing in other commlditles. Il is tbe general opinion among ralrvad men that ' It will be but a short - time until the traffic of flclala of the various lines 'will get to gether and restore grain rates to- about the same basis ss before the cuts.' "If the grain, which would move freely now If cars could be secured, can pe held back until the restoration of rates takes place, of course It would mean a great many thousands of dollars more to the railroads In freight receipts," said a railroad official, "the latter part of last week one road was short 240 cars for grain loading on eighty miles of Its line. Hauling these 240 cars at the reduction now tn effect to the gulf ports would mean a loss to this road, as against the ratee previously In effect, of B0 to $40 per car. or about IT-ifO. This would simply represent the difference on eighty miles of road. How much it wou'd be for the western grain district may te estimated from these figures. The most optimistic grain dealer or railroad man in Omaha does not believe that the present rates will last more than a few weeks and if a large portion of the shipments ran be held until the restoration takes place It will make an Immense difference to the tra asportation companies. One freight official was frank enough to admit this morning that the railroads are playing s waiting game, and holding the shipments back until the luat possible minute. While he stated lire exists at present an actual shortage of equipment, he also said Alt' ether orders for cars, where the freight rate waa higher on the commodities to be handled thau on grain, were boir.g filled first. If any cars are Uft over af'.er such orders have been taken care of they sre furnished to grain drajers. While this tate of affaire exists the low raies in effect are of little Unlit to grain shippers, and it is not bellevc-d the stringency in the car supply iL! be lessened until the ratta advance. . CENTRAL IMPROVEMENT CLUB Special Mrr.lif Listens ta Karae I tin Sslttve Reports aa Projects t ader W ay. The Central Federatlpn of Improvement Clubs held s special meeting last night St the committee room of the council, cham ber in the city hall. " In the absence of President Slabaugh, Vice President George Sanrha occupied the chair. The special committee on parks and boulevards submitted a verbal report through Chairman L. J. Blake. The report was In effect that the committee found that there Is some objection to the extension of the boulevard system on the part of cer tain property owners. Who are Indisposed to submit to further taxation for boulevard purposes, and that the opposition of these parries- Is - of sufficient - Influence to make the work of the committee along the lines of securing boulevard extension extremely Hifflcult.' especially at thV present time.- The photographic: coirrtrnlttee to wkom wss entrusted the work of securing photographs of city improvements ana localities wnere such Improvements were needed, reported that It Is meeting with much encourage ment snd that s number of photographers have expressed their willingness to assist In the work.

All of the propositions had earnest advocates, but no definite conclusion was reached end the projects were dropped. A mOtron prevailed for the appointment of a committee Tf three to arrange for s grand rally of all the Improvement clubs of the city In the near future, the date for such meeting to be. fixed by the committee. Messrs. Host wick. Pope and Butler were named as such committee. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Morearity.

The Bingham contest Is based upon the charge of en Illegal election In the First precinct of the Sixth ward snd the Seend of the Fourth in South Omaha, and since aU the other precincts in the county have been counted, it now is expected that some interesting developments will come to light when the Bingham, interests are playing w hat is confessedly their trump card.
