Interesting Experiment la a
Restaurant.
An advertising ent, representing a
prominent New Tork magazine, while on
a recent western trip, wss dining one even
ing la a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order be glanced
over hie newspaper and noticed the ad
vertisement of a' well-known dyspepsia
preparation. Stuart's Dyspepsta Tablets.
As he himself was a regular user of the
tablets, he began speculating as to how
many of the other traveling men la the
dining room were also friends of the popu
lar remedy for Indigestion.
lie says:, I counted twenty-three men at
the tables and In the hotel office; I took
the trouble to interview them and was ur
prised to learn that nine of the 'twenty
three made a practice of taking one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
One of them told me he had suffered so
much from atomaoh trouble that at one
time . he hsd been obliged to quit the road,
but since Using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet,
had eeen entirely free from Indigestion, but
lie conltnued their use, especially while
traveling, on account of Irregularity In
meals and, because 'like all traveling men
he was often obliged to eat what he could
get and vat always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of health,
eld he never ate a .meal without taking a
Stuart Tablet afterward becauso ha could

till another lined them because he was
aubject to gas on stomach, causing pressure
on heart and iungs. shortness of breath
and distress In chest, which he no longer
experienced since using the tablets regu
larly. Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was the only safe remedy be had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity.
He had formerly used common soda to re
lieve the trouble, but the tablets wore much
belter and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other excemws
which weaken the dlsestlve org.ins, nothing
restores the stomach to a healthy, whole

orange cases brought by the Southern Call

Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka

holds that the defendant carriers are un
lawfully engaged In pooling the traffic In
citrus fruits originating In Southern Cali
fornia and carried by them and their con
nections to eastern markets.
The- decision also holds that the defend
ants, by compelling the shippers to pay
icing charges as established by the car
lines, have made such charges part of the
cost of transportatiqn'and subject to regu
lation under the law, and that the rate on
oranges In carloads from Southern Cali

LINCOLN. Feb. 23. (Special Telegram.)
Judge William Alstadt, Omaha's best
known Justice of the peace, the man who
overruled the supreme court without the
quiver of an eyelash. Is a hero In Lincoln.
He has been through the trying ordeal of
being held up. He has hauled his attempted
robber before the bar of Justice and then
then his big heart beat against his little
body and he refused to prosecute. Little
Bismarck was Idling away a few minutes
Tuesday night looking at the tall buildings
and the electric lights, dreaming of the
time perhaps when Tie might sit In the
big state house as the chief Justice of the
state.
Something grabbed him. Bismarck shot
out his strong but short right snd brought
to the earth a would-be robbel. Then as
fast as he could work his vocal organs
he called for the police and the man was
hauled eff to jail. Today before Judge Cos
grove the man said he was drunk he knew
he was drunk, but he denied that he ever
tried to nold up the law embodied In Judge
Alstadt. The judge had the time of his
life In Lincoln and was satisfied to let the
man go free. Bismarck has gone back to
the metropolis.

vious to filing his application. He was

divorce. He was arrested on a charge tof
contempt, it being held that he had de

Augustus Saint Gaudens, the former .In

"It shows her In a wsy that It seems to
me only a womtn could do, the union of
strength with feminine gentleness, a qual
ity most tender and elusive, but which
she has most certainly Infused Into her
work." The pedestal Is of Vermont mar

Ah! It Is women who have given the
costliest hostage to fortune. Out Into the

beloved, with fearful odds against them.
Oh. by the dangers they have dared, by
the hours of patient watching over beds
where helpless children lay, by the Incense
of ten thousand prayers wafted from their
gentle Hps to heaven, I charge you give
them power to protect along life's treach

loved! Francis E. Wlllard.

as Issued by the committee, reads: ''Send
letters from many Individuals. Letters
from men as well as from women should
be sent to the legislators, for men's let

of voteless women. Perhsps woman's in

chivalry, but today man's voting power
Is greater than woman's voteless Influence.
Therefore, get letters from men."

In a Lecture at the Y. M. C. A. a Local
Interpreter Traces Ills Country's
HUtorr and Points Out I'nited
gtntes' Interest Therein,
Kinya Okajima. a Japanese interpreter
who has chars-e of tho Japanese camp at
Cudahy's packing house, delivered an ad
dress at the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation rooms Thursday evening on tho
awakening and progress of Japan slnco
Commodore Terry's arrival there fifty years
ago last March. Mr. Okajima Is a schol
arly appearing gentleman who speaks Quite
nuentlv in English, with almost no ac
cent His wife was an interested member
of the audience and their little daughter
participated In tho proceedings in Irrepres
sible fashion, but smilingly and quietly,
until her mother carried her to the rear
when she Insisted by standing at her
father's side on the platform. The ushers
were all Japanese of a most courteous bear
ing. In opening, Mr. Okajima told of the ori
gin of the name Japan and of the arrival
on the Nippon Islands of the conquerors
who took possession of the country. The
original home of tho Japanese people was,
ho said, unknown. There are today 45,
000,000 of them and their emperor tracta
his line back to 600 years before Christ. "It
is a remarkable fact," sold the lecturer,
"that In tho far east such an empire
should have gone on steadily In growth
and development of national strength while
so many other nations rose and fell and
passed away."
Not Descendants of Chinese.
Whatever tho real origin of the Japanese
race, Its people arc not descendants of tho
Chinese. The language of the latter na
tion is peculiar to Itself and the meaning
of a speaker la signified by certain words
In a sentence, indirectly. The Japanese
speak an inflected language like the Eng
lish and other European tongues. Mr. Oka
jima gave several amusing Instance-of tho
topsy-turvy character of the English lan
guage in the light of Japaneso grammar,
also of moil-8 of address which carry out
the Japanese idea of exalting others and
humiliating self. While strenuously de
nying Chinese .origin as out of the ques
tion, he said the Japanese had got much
of their learning, customs and philosophy
from the Chinese, who were a highly civil
ized nation when most of Europe was still
barbarian.
Tha Introduction of Christianity, the
story of tho cross, by a great Jesuit mis
sionary who arrived with one Japanese
convert from India In 1540. was given at
tention by the lecturer. From this he
traced the happenings In his country to
the time, 3."0 years sgo, when her then
rulers unwisely closed the ports to all
the world except a few Dutch traders.
Passing lightly over the long sleep of 300
years, ha pictured with fervent touch the
arrival of Commodore Perry. He told of
the Incident on the flagHhlp Powhatan
where a Japanese leader had thrown hjs
arms about Terry's neck and said:
"America and"dapan one heart." "So it
la, today," said Mr. Okajima, "one heart."
I'ncle 8am Yltallr Interested.
After outlining the events leading up to
the Japanese-Chlno war of ten years ago
and the developments since which led to
the present war. In which Russia was
pictured as greedy, unfair and vindictive,
the lecturer elaborated the thought that
In every aspect Japan Is richer and greater
. i ... .1,,,,. ever before. This ho held will
Inure to the great benefit of the United
elates, for while rtussia is cur greatesi
rival in the markets for oil, wheut and
flour, lumber and cotton goods, Japan's
manufactures and exports are along en
tirely different lines, In which we do not
compete.
The significance of a Japunese victory In
the present war would be all to the good
for tills country, said Mr. Okajima, and to
be with this hind In all thing., he said,
was lh GLeilfehvd oibiiion of bis peopls.
Japan's friends need have no fear of her
ability to finanoe the war to a successful
conclusion, for, thanks to her friends In
the United States and other countries, her
exports have doubled since the war began,
and as most of these, like tea, silk and
matches, are manufactured by women
there will be nil the men needed to go to
the front at all times.

with Ennts to Uok after his business while
he was away, and to occasionally tend bar
for him. The witness had nevor seen In
dians with whisky or liquor in their posses
sion. On cross-examination Rasdell admitted
that he had been arrested some three
years ago for selling liquor to Indians and
that In 1898 he had pleaded guilty to one
count In an indictment returned against
him by the federal grand Jury for selling
liquor to Indians, for the reason that he
did not have the money to fight the case.
He was sentenced to sixty days Imprison
ment on this count and to pay a fine of
$100. Tha sentence of Imprisonment had
been suspended on condition that he would
pay the fine. The fine has not yet been
paid. He also admitted mat he was at
present under Indictment for conspiracy
in selling liquor to Indians.
Attack Government's Witnesses.
Other witnesses testifying for the defense
were William Odell, a butcher of Homer;
C. J. O'Connor, a banker and merchant;
W. F. Wing, an Implement dealer; Louis
Schmidt, a farmer, and Daniel Turdy, con
stable and town marshal of Homer, all of
whom testified that the reputation of
Featherlegs and Orr Is bad. Turdy ad
mitted that ho Is the father-in-law of
Harry Rasdell. He had been before a num
ber of federal grand Juries to testify in
bootlegging cases, but had never testified
before a grand Jury that Featherlegs was
a bootlegger. He admitted that he had
been ordered to arrest Featherlegs on the
charge of bootlegging, but that he "didn't
do It, nor he didn't intend to do It." Ques
tioned as to tha veracity of George Rlce
hl 11, one of the government witnesses, he
said his reputation was bad, for "Rlcehill
cheated me out of H or $5 once."
Tha witnesses all admitted that they had
hoard that Featherlegs was by reputation
a bootlegger, and that he was a bad man.
An adjournment was taken to 9 o'clock
this morning.
