A REPUTATION,
How It Was Made and Retained
In Omaha,
A good reputation 1 not easily earned,
i v
and It was onjy by bard, consistent work
among our cltisens that Doan's Kidney
1111s won their way to the proud dis
tinction attained In this locality. The
public endorsement of scores of Omaha
residents has rendered invaluable serv
ice to the community. Read what this
citizen says:
Mr. George McKencto of 4804 North
24th street; says: "My back ached and
symptoms of some disturbance of the
kidney secretions existed. Procuring
Doan's Kidney Pills at Kuhn ft Co'.'s
drug store, corner 15th and Douglas
streets, I took a course of ths treatment
dose or two relieved me, and finally
the- annoyance ceased. When Doan's
. Kidney PlUs helped a man of my age,
they certainly can be depended upon to
bring speedy assistance to those more
susceptible to the action of medicine."

THREE BLIND MEN MIX UP
Sightless Maslelaas Get lata Dispute
Over Prior Right te Ortela
Street Ceraer.
Musio did not have charms to sooths the
ruffled tempers of Blind Tom, Blind Harry
and Blind Billy In a vacant lot on North
Eleventh street Bunday evening, according
to reports received from several who saw
the sightless triumvirate In a mlxup for
territorial rights.
The men are blind musicians, who come
and go according to Inclinations. They all
met for the first time Sunday afternoon
around the festal board, consisting of a
soap box on which had been placed a can
of beer and a sack of pretzels. Ths can
was replenished several times and the
volubility of ths three blind musicians In
creased with the lengthening shadows. Dur
ing the post prandial exercises a discus
sion arose over the advisability of the
three men occupying this field of activity
at the same time. A secret vote was
taken, after which each one accused one
of his companions of stuffing the ballot
The meeting broke up In disorder, and
Blind Harry and Blind Billy went to Coun
cil Bluffs for a change of climate. Blind
Tom went to the police station and re
ported the toes of his watch, whioh he says
does not have a crystal, as he tells the
time by feeling the position of the hands
with his fingers. He is positive that
neither of his companions had anything to
do with the loss of his timepiece.
DIVORCES ARESJILL POPULAR
Applications for Uadolac Marriage
Vows Mora Numerous Than Thosa
for Hymeneal Obligations.
Three applications for marrloge were
asked In Omaha Monday, but mere applica
tions for divorce.
Alexander Jetes has asked the district
court to grant him a divorce from Carrie
Jetes.
Velma Relnhardt has been granted a di
vorce from George E. Relnhardt. Judge
Sutton found her contention of cruelty to
be supported and granted her the posses
sion of the three children and $10 a month
alimony.
In the suit of Hans Jcrg nse.i against
Una Jorgensen the latter has filed a cross
petition. She denies the charges made by
her husband and says he has never sup
ported her, but on the contrary she hat
had to support him, and when she declined
longer to do this he left her.
Joseph J. Cailller finds fault with Anna
Cailller and asks for a divorce. He says
shs was cruel. In that she attacked him one
time with a carving fork. Likewise he Is
prepared to prove she carried a revolver
ready for him, and also refused on sundry
occasions to cook his mails. He asks the
possession of their one child.
BILL BAILEY IS HOME AGAIN
Telle Judge Berlta He Is Cornhasker,
bat Court Has to Be
i
Shown.
BUI Bailey has come home again. He
was arrested on a charge of vagrancy and
when arraigned before the police Judge
pleaded not guilty on the grounds that he
was a working man and carried his tools
with him. Judge Berka could not see any
tools sticking out of Bailey's pockets, so he
ventured to ask the prisoner what manner
of man he was when on duty.
' "Jedge, I'Se a coan husker, dat's' what
ah am. Heah's man husktn' rassah and
heah's mah two wuklng han's, as hones' a
pair of han's as eber de good Lord made.
Dar ain't nothing agin mah name, Jedge.
Jes write to dah man ah bane wuklng fer,"
said Bailey as he offered the corn huskei

Bailey had. however, been seen prowling
around a number of saloons in a suspicious
manner, Officer Pease said, so Bailey's
movements will be looked Into further.

This Is the second time the city has asked
for bids on such a plant, which is expected
to save a great deal of money. Last fall
only one bidder responded to the invitation
and his amount was the limit $10,000. By
giving more time It Is thought some com
petition can be secured and Councilman
Nicholson, the father of the movement, has
pushed It to the front again. He wants the
plant ready for operation In the spring.

MITCnELL AND ERWIN CLEAR
Joint Indictment Jrsught Under Summers'
Directiei Rolled bj Baxter.
CASE IS STRICKEN FROM THE DOCKET
Both Mta Are Perseaai Frieads of
Senator Dietrich and Were Stig
matised at game Time of
His Paalshmeat.
The Joint Indictment found against Poet
master J. C. Mitchell of Alma and W. M.
Erwln of the earns place, charging them
with conspiracy, was nolled by United
States District Attorney Baxter and upon
his recommendation the case was stricken
from the docket.
The Indictment against Mitchell and
Erwln was brought by the federal grand
Jury In November, 1908 under the regime of
W. a Summers as United States District
attorney and was the outgrowth of a
bitter factional fight against Senator
Dietrich, Messrs. Mitchell and Erwln being
warm personal friends of the senator. The
specific charge against Mitchell and
Erwln was that they sought to fraudulently
Increase the sale of postage stamps of the
Alma postofflce, In order that the
compensation of ths postmaster might be
thereby Increased.
Erwln was charged with being the special
agent of Mitchell In selling or undertaking
to sell a large quantity of postage stamps
to the Nebraska state officials. It how
ever, appeared upon the further Investi
gation by District Attorney Baxter that
the Increased sales of stamps accomplished
by Erwln and Mitchell did not affect the
revenues of the office to the extent Im
plied In the Indictment, hence the dismissal
of the case was recommended and ordered.
Fonr Before Judge Manger.
Four additional parties indicted at the
recent session of the federal grand Jury
were taken before Judge Munger In the
United States district court tor arraign
ment. They were:
Garrison Bare, charged with selling
liquor to Indians. He pleaded guilty and
was remanded back to Jail to await sen
tence.. Louis Halberg pleaded not guilty to sell
ing liquor to Indians and was remanded
for trial.
. David Archer pleaded not guilty to sell
ing liquor without flrst payjng the neces
sary special tax and was remanded for
trial.
Henry Rltterbach pleaded guilty to en
gaging In the liquor business without pay
ing the requisite special tax exacted by
the gavernment and was sentenced to pay
a fine of $100 and costs and to be confined
in the Douglas county Jail for thirty days.
Preston Brooks, sr., pleaded guilty to
assault and battery on the person of the
postmaster at Fort Robinson and was sen
tenced to three months' Imprisonment In
the Douglas county Jail. Mr. Brooks'
special offense grew out of his Indignation
over the arrest of his son, bearing the
same name, who was a clerk In the Fort
Robinson postofflce and who was charged
and later convicted of embezzling a num
ber of letters from the office and ap
propriating the contents to his own use.
Mr. Brooks, senior, did not believe his
son was guilty of the charge at the time
and so he proceeded to whip the post
master for accusing his son of dishonesty.
No cases were ready for trial in court
room No. 2, owing to the nonappearance
of witnesses, and the bootlegging trials
set for hearing before Judge Munger had
to go over until 2:30 this afternoon.
LOWE'S CASH WILL (JO TO TRIAL
Demurrer Is Overruled by Federal
Judge Garland.
Judge Carland handed down his decision
In the Elliott Lowe cue overruling the
demurrer and the case will consequently
go to trial under the original Indictment.
Elliott Lowe a former member of the
Nebraska legislature from Harlan county
was Indicted by the federal grand Jury
in November 1903 on the charge of con
spiracy. It was during the session of the
legislature of which he was a member
that Governor Dietrich was elected United
States senator and Mr. Lowe voted for
him for that office. It was charged by
Senator Dietrich's political enemies that
Mr. Lowe was made the dispensor of
political patronage In the district from
whioh he was elected as Senator Dietrich's
special personal agent and that he exacted
and received certain sums of money from
aspirants for political , appointments and
that the same was to be divided with
Senator Dietrich. The Indictment against
Mr. Lowe was based on these grounds.
Mr. Lowe, through his attorneys Messrs.
Thompson of Alma and Charles J. Greene
of Omaha, demurred to the Indictment
shortly after It was returned, and the
case came to final argument before Judge
Carland In the United States circuit court
Friday, with the result of the demurrer
being overruled.
WHO WROTE TO "MY DEAR JIM?"
Question Confronting- James Robb,
Testifies la Divorce Suit
Brought by Wife.
Another construction was placed on the
"My Dear Jim" note In Judge Troup's
department of the district court when
James Robb, assistant traffic manager of
the Cudahy plant, took the stand to deny
his wife's charges of cruelty. This note
Mrs. Robb testified to having found in
her husband's pocket.
Robb, on the stand, testified he did not
know who had written it - After his wife
had found it and had accused Miss Laura
Kroh, the second stenographer, of having
written It, Robb said he himself asked
Miss Kroh and she said she had not
written it. Robb testified he had found
the note open on his desk on his return
one day. He said there were a dozen
desks within ten feet of his and 150 In
the room. Also he said there were twelve
stenographer girls. It was the custom, he
added, to pass notes about the office for
the fun of the thing. He testified to
thinking the note was written by one of
the young men in the office.
Mr. Robb spent considerable time In
denying the charges of . cold-heartednesa
and cruelty Incident to an operation which
kept Mrs. Robb In the hospital for three
weeks. Robb testified during that time he
only missed three or four days In going
to see her. He dented any harsh words
and told of consultations as to her con
dition and as to what should be done for
her comfort which he had with the
doctors. He told of kissing his wife on
various occasions. .

LAW SUITS TO GETDAMAGES
Cases Brought In District Coart Ag
gregatlnsT Over Flfty-FIvs
Thousand Dollars.
Some heavy damage suits were begun in
the dlBtrlct courts. Helen Goodwin asks
for damages from the city of Omaha to
the amount of $10,400. Mrs. Goodwin was
Injured some months sgo by a defective
sidewalk in front of 2514 Hamilton street.
The walk, she says, was full of holes and
loose planks and the strmgers were from
six to twelve Inches from the ground.

delicate condition she claims to have sus
tained severe Injuries.
Lillian Ashley, by her next friend, Ida M.
Ashley, brings her suit against the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway company
for $30,000. This Is for the loss of ths
12-year-old girl's right foot. She was in
jured at Sixteenth and Castellar streets
July 26 last, while crossing the street. She
noticed a northbound car approaching and
hurried across In front of It, but did not
see a southbound car, which was also near.
This car struck her and cut off the fore
portion of her right foot. This neces
sitated an amputation and later a second
operation, which removed the entire foot.
The claim for damages is based on the
statement that the car was running at too
great a rate of speed and the motorman
did not lower the fender.
Harold Bell comes into court again with

of putting up the scaffolding. He asks
$26,000.
HAIL TO NORWEGIAN GROUSE
Game Birds from the European
Peninsular Are Brought to
Omaha Markets.
Omaha's epicures may now have game
all the season and not fear arrest by the
game warden for eating birds out of sea
son. They cannot have quail, prairie
chickens, ducks and other well known
American game blrdB, but they may have
magnificent grouse from Norway, and
there are no prettier birds shown on the
Omaha market than these Imported aristo
crats from the far-away fields of the
northland.
This is one of Omaha's - new industries,
as yet only in Its lncipleney, but with a
promise of growing to goodly proportions,
for the game grouse ls"as good eating as
a prairie chicken and can-be sold on this
market almost as cheap as the native
artlole. They are nearly pure white In
color, have more feathers than a chicken,
have a top knot like a -California quail
and have been pronounced by the game
warden and his assistants as all right.
Banquet boards may hereafter be graced
with grouse In season and out of season.
The flrst consignment of these birds was
received a few days ago by David Cole,
1,200 grouse, direct from Norway.
"It is a small number," said Mr. Cole,
"but It is a starter and ,1 expect to be
importing them In the near future by the
thousands, for there is always a demand
for game and the supply never equals It.
They cost about $7 a dozen, not much more
than for the regular American prairie
chicken, and they can only be hud In
limited numbers in season, while these
white beauties come all ths year around."
BIDS FOR FIRE ENGINE HOUSE
Proposals on Station ' at Twenty
Fourth and Cuming from
Leading; Architects.
Some of the best architects In Omaha, It
is said, will submit competitive plans for
the new Are engine station at Twenty
fourth and Cuming streets. The estimated
cost Is to be limited to $25,000, but inasmuch
as the best plans for the least money will
be the objects sought by the Advisory board
the price is expected to drop considerably
below this figure.
Experience Comes High.
A festive farmer from Iowa, who had
nothing but time on his hands and only
money In his pockets, yesterday after

COYOTES AND WOLVES GET TIP
East Omaha Pests Foresee Their Doom
and Evade the Law aad

Apparently the coyotes and wolves of
East Omaha aTTH vicinity received a Up on
the raid that had been planned on them
for yesterday morning, for when Mr. Peter
B. Clausen and aboTit fifty of his neighbors
and friends started out early on the Sab
bath day there was not a coyote nor a
wolf In sight. i
Residents in the northeast part Of ths
city have been annoyed for a long time by
coyotes and wolves making raids on their
young calves and chickens. The animals
have been getting Colder as the cold
weather approached ahd yesterday morn
ing's "drive" Is the beginning of the end of
the coyotes and wolves In East Omaha
and that neck of the woods, notwithstand
ing none was killed yesterday. The death
knell of every coyote and wolf In East
Omaha has been sounded and not until the
last of their tribe has been exterminated
will the vigilance cease, so says Mr. Clau
sen and his neighbors. The crowd that left
Mr. Clausen's house walked, whereas it Is
said horses will be used hereafter in the

P1ERE is no fur coat that
has to do such real work
as the one that keeps the man
who drives warm. Not for an
hour at a time, but day in and
day out this coat faces the sleet
and snow and killing cold.
The Gordon Wombat Coat
stands it all. It comes out of
camphor for another year's
battle as sturdy as when it
was new. Here quality means
WORK, and every seam is
sewn in strong, healthy leather
that holds the stitches, fust
as useful for others who fight
cold for long stretches, and not
an ounce or weight that isn't
absolutely essential.
It's a rugged, good looking coat, too, that
you'll be glad to see yourself wearing.
Prices vary. Do not buy the very cheapest
unless you must And be sure it's a Gordon
Coat $22.00 to $35.00.
