What a Leading
Dressmaker Says
Miss Agnes Leopold, who has one of
the leading dress-making establish
ment in Neenah, Wisconsin, writes
Dr. I'ierce as follows :
Dear Sir "A few years ago when my
health was greatly impaired on account
of womb trouble, I was advised to try
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
first month's use benefited me greatly.
1 had lees pal i at ths period and did
not have to go to bed as had been the
custom. I felt very pleased and kept
taking the " Prescription " for four
months, when I was in perfect health.
Good health is a treat blessing and I
feel that I ow it ah to your " Favorite
Prescription," and consequently am
very grateful to you."
Weak Women ore Madi Stroni mad
Sick Women Mad Well by
Dr. Pierce's FaroHte
Prescription.
The treatment and cure of many thou
sands of women suffering from chronic
weaknesses and distressing ailments at
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, Buffalo, N. Y., led to the putting
up of " Favorite Prescription " for
home use in its present perfected form.
The record of the cures effected by
this remedy is without a parallel.
Thousands of testimonials received
from patients and from physicians who
have tested it in the more aggravated
and obstinate cases which had baffled
their skill, prove it to be the most won
derful remedy ever devised for the relief
and cure of suffering women. It is not
recommended as a "cure-all," but as a

ACCUSED POLICEMAN MAKES HIS DEFENSE
Officer Charged with Manslaughter
Introduces Testimony to Show Hi
Was Not Respousiblo 'or
Keating Saloon Tragedy.
While the sisters and brothers of ths
lata George O'Neill sat in th criminal
court during the trial of .Policeman Moore
yesterday. Dr. 11. P. Hamilton on tha
stand for the defense balanced a grinning
skull on his fingers and with professional
callousness told of the autopsy how they
split the scalp and took a saw and cut oft
the skull.
"Oh, I forget," he said, "whether we
cut it around the forehead or at the back
sometimes we do 'em one way and some
times another."
Thia was most painful moment of the
trial for the brothers and sisters of tha
dead man.
The case of the defense as it develops,
appears to be to show O'Neill came to his
death by jerking away from the patrolman
and striking his f)ead against the glass
screen. Ir. Hamilton who performed the
operation at the hospital before the death
of the young man and also took part In
the autopsy, testified when he first saw
O'Neill he was in a very bad condition and
the trepanning was done as a last resort
without much hoie . In recovery. He
removed the bono at the left of the head
where there Was a contused wound. He
said he believed there was another wound
on his head, but would not be sure with
out going to the records. The wound at
the side however was the principal wound.
No ruptured blood vessel was found at the
place of making the Incision, but at the
autopsy a clot was found an Inch or two
below where the incision had been made.
At this place the 'surgeon testified, was
a fracture of tha skull. This would be
backward on a line with the eye.
A. Thompson was called for the defense,
but added little to the case.
W. H. Christie was called and on theory,
not having seen the wounds, he testified a
blow at the side of the skull would be more
apt to cause a ruptured blood vessel, but
that the wound at the lop of tha head
might also do it.
Roy Herold testified O'Neill had called
the officer a bad name and said be could
not take him to jail. He testified the

most perfect specific for woman's pe
culiar ailments. So uniform are the
results which follow the use of this
remarkable remedy, that it can be truly
Binned of "Favorite Prescription"
that it alvays help and almost always
cure. 98 per cent, of the women who
give this medicine a fair and faithful
trial are cured and remain cured.
It is a powerful invigorating tonic,
imparting health and strength to the
womb and its appendages. The local,
womanly health is so intimately related
to the general health that when diseases
of the delicate womanly organs are
cured the whole body gains in health
and strength. For weak and sickly
women who are " worn-out," run
down" or debilitated, especially for
women who work in store, office or
school-room, who sit at the type-writer
or sewing maenme, of Dear Heavy house
hold burdens, Doctor Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will prove a priceless bene
fit because of its health-restoring and
strength-giving power.
& FORWARD MOVEMENT 119 THE
CRUSE OP TEMPERANCE.
The women of the United States are
more and more interested in the tem
perance question, and recently there
has been considerable agitation about
alcoholic medicines. Dr. Pierce's Fam
ily remedies are " white ribbon " medi
cines, because they do not contain a
article of alcohol, opium, or harmful
rugs. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is a pure compound of medicinal
plants, scientifically extracted and com
bined, that will cure the diseases pecu
liar to women. It is a medicine which
has enjoyed the public confidence for
over a third of a century.

Tha east wall of the building owned by
the college of medloine, of the .University
of Nebraska, and occupied by that college
and by the dental college of the University
of Omaha, seems to rest on land the prop
erty of William Herrmann. At least, Mr.
Herrmann says so, and has Instituted pro
ceedings in the district court to make the
colleges move over. He says he is the
owner of a strip one and two-thirds feet
wide, running from the front of lot 7,
block 29, at the east edge from the street,
thirty-aeven feet bark. On this strip has
been built the wall of the college build
ing and lr has remained there since April,
1899. Mr. Herrmann also says the cornice
of the building was made to jut out over
his premises In a very careless and negli
gent manner, so that in winter snow and
ice fall therefrom In large quantities upon
his own little house and make trouble
with him. So he asks the court for pos

have an even chance any way.
A mother can do a great deal to give
her baby a fair start, bhe can almost
always give him a strong, healthy con
stitution, by taking proper care and
building up ber neaitn during the time
when baby is expected. Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has done wonders
for expectant mothers and their babies.
It gives health and strength to the
mother at the time she needs it most.
It purifies the whole system: gives en
durance and elasticity to the special ,
organs of maternity, and healthful tone
to the nerves. It make confinement
shorter and easier; protects the mother
from prostrating relapse and promotes
a good supply of healthy nourishment
for the child.
It is the only medicine that does
all this. It is the only medicine for
women devised by a regularly gradu

cian. Dr. Pierce's medicines are stand

Every woman ought to be afraid of a

Who does not know of some sweet

The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med

cure of the most obstinate and linger

involved and there are hemorrhages
and emaciation, "Golden Medical Dis
covery" is generally effective in restor

" Discovery " and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
"I am feeling quite well," writes Miss
Dorcas A. Lewis, of No. 1129 2th Street,

DIVORCE FROM TWO AT ONCE
Elderly Womai Seeks Legal Separation
frsm Fair of Huabandi.
BOTH MEN ARE LOST FROM WOMAN
Wants Divorce In Order to Become
Entitled to Pension as Widow
of First of Three
Spouses.
A new thing in divorce suits a double
barreled affair wherein a woman asks legal
separation from two husbands, haa been the
cause of considerable speculation and
amusement among Omaha lawyers who
knew of the case. The history of tha local
courts haa no parellei and attorneys say
they know of no precedent.
The petitions were filed sometime ago and
the case has been heard before Judge
Troup, who demurred at signing a decree
that cut two recreant spouses loose at one
fell swoop. He now has tha matter under
consideration and tha plaintiff's lawyer,
J. L. Kaley, is figuring out a plan to get
around the apparent legal obstacles In the
way of cleaving a woman from two
husbands when only one at a time Is
permlssable.
The name of the woman In the case is
kept out because she is old 68 yeara of
age and the evidence seems to show that
she had the worst of the matrimonial bar
gains all along. She has a wide ac
quatntance In Omaha, where she has lived
for years and had to work hard for a 11 v
lng, and has children who are prominent.

Wants to Get a Fenslon.
The object in procuring the decrees is to
take advantage of laws of 1901, provldln
that a soldier's widow who has married
Is entitled to the pension if she has be.
come a widow again. To make the records
clear the divorce proceedings were In
stituted.
Two years after the death of husband No,

this helpmeet disappeared and to date the.
wife never has been Informed of his loca
tion on or off tha map. She waited until
1878, or nearly ten years, before trying a
third venture. This proved somewhat bet.
ter than the other two, for the spouse con.
tlnued to act as such for eight years, when
he, too, dropped out of sight and never haa
been heard from since. Incidentally the
last named was acquired at Council Bluffs.
The law presumes a man dead after he
ba J been missing and uaheard from for
more than seven years, and court decrees
bear out the right of a married person to
assume themselves single after such a con
tlngency. It probably will be arranged,
therefore, to have husband No. I declared
officially dead by the court and a decree

SCHEME TO PURIFY WATER
City Ensjlneer Rosewater'a Plan May
Be Adopted by Crcston,
Iowa, Company.
The water works company of Creston,
la., Is considering the adoption of a plan
of purification and sedtmentli.ttlon of the
supply designed and recommended by City
Engineer Andrew Rosewater of Omaha.
J. E. Market and other men of this city
are stockholders of the. plant, Mr. Market
being president.
The water haa been cleaned by the use
of a mechanical filter, which has proved
unsatisfactory. Mr. Rosewater'a plans
contemplate a natural filtering by letting
the water flow slowly through sand and
otheV materials. The water supply at
Creston is obtained by the creation of an
artificial lake which receives the moisture
precipitated over twenty square miles of
land. It is sufficient, but not of good
quality.
Assistant City Engineer Craig recently
spent a few hours at Creston on business
connected with the proposed Improvements.
Mr. Rosewater was one of the consulting
engineers when the plant was built fifteen
years ago, but had nothing to do with tho
means of purification and sedimentizatlon.

Fashion Is shuffling the
deck this season. . Dealt out
a Sack front and a Frock
back to one overcoat. It'a
the Paletot-Sack, and If aver
there was a difficult overcoat
for a tailor to make, this la
it!
We are cutting a great
many of them from the new
wlde-wale Iron-gray Melton
and Cheviot Overcoatings,
and we are producing gar
ments that are certainly the
snappiest overcoats that we
have ever seen. The peculiar
style, combination and the
Jtnuck of tailoring possessed
by four of our overcoat tail
ors to whom we are entrust
ing all this work combined
produce wonderfully smart
garments.
