When the street car on tha Docge street
line reached Thirtieth and Bristol streets
last night at 12:30 o'clock two men, with
m&Kka and with revolvera, surprised Con-dis-tor
D. A. Hood and demanded hla
money. With uplifted hand Hood wi
conr.p'-lled to stand and let the men rellere
hirn of all the cash he had In hla pockets
arid also a revolver.
"Have you any money of your own?"
linked one of the men.
"A little of It swlongs to me," he replied;
$2.75."
We want only the company's money,"
the man Mid, and he handed the conductor
the amount he claimed aa hla own.
One of the masked men then examined
the revolver, and removing all the car
tridges s.ild:
"I guess that gun Isn't very dangerous
now, ao you can keep It, too,"
Apparently no attention waa paid to the
motorman. There were no passengers on
the car.
Keeping t lie. car men on the anxious seat
by threats of what they -would do If any
attempt was made to move until told It
would bo all right, the masked men de
liberately backed off Into the darkness and
disappeared.
As speedily as possible the car waa run.
back to the barn and word Bent to Vjo
police station with as good a descrlpnn

The whole altalr occupied only a few -minutes
and the conductor was so feuey doing
what he waa told to do that he wife unablo
to give anything but a vary gereral de
scription of the men. Their fMrgulse and
masks prevented an accurate, description,
excepting that of height ard general size
of the men.

EDWARDS ATTENDED THE BABY

Man Mas a Good Time
pot with .
Kid.
In H John Edwards' years of life In Salt
LaJre City he never had an experience with
baAles which can be compared to the one
fjc met yesterday in Omaha. In future he
(will not engage to enre for strange Infants
while the mothers leave for a short time.
As a result of Sunday's adventure he
missed hla train, causing him to remain ono
day longer away from hla own babies In
T'tah, and narrowly en taped a beating at
the lianda of an irate father.
Mr. Edwards had been to Indianapolis
nd was on his return home. While he was
, waiting at the Vnlon station for the Union
Pacific train west he noticed a woman
walking back and forth with a fretful child
in her arms. Ill sympathy went out to
her and he endeavored to help her by di
verting the attention of the baby to a big
red apple which he produced from his suit
oh se. The young one ceased crying and a
lew min'iitos later 'tit.' fed wards had almost
forgotten the incident. But the woman
had not. His fatherly appearance had evi
dently won hor confidence. She approached
him and said:
"Won't you be kind enough to take the
baby for a few minutes? I'll come right
back."
The secret of Mr. Edwards' tribulation
waa that he took the baby. It was ten
minutes yet until time for his train to go.
He. dandled the little one' on his knee for
five minutes and the mother did not appear,
lle walked the floor of the waiting room for
three, minutes more and she did not come.
If Another minute passed by and he was be-
V coming anxious. He looked around, but
cor.ld see no person whom he would trust
w'.th the baby. The seconds ticked away.
All at once Edwards awoke to the reallxa
s tlon that his train was In motion. Ho
dropped the child on a seat, seized hla suit
case and ran frantically out of the depot
and acrosa the platform. People laughed
II STRICTCONFIDENCE.
Women Obtain Mrs. ' Pinkham'i
Advice and Help.
She Baa Gnlded Thousands t Health.
How Ljdia K. Flnkhasa's Vegetable Com
ponad Cured Mrs. Fred Saydsl.
7
It la a great
satisfaction lor a
woman to feel that
she can writ to
another telling her
the moat private
and confidential
detail about her
illness, and know
that her letter will
be seen by a wo
man only, a wo
man full of sym
pathy for her
tick stater, and
above all. a woman who has had
more experience In treating female Ills
than any living1 person.
Over one hundred thousand eases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a "woman of such experi
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con
fidence of women, and every testimo
nial letter published is done so with
the written oonsent or request of the -writer,
in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Sevdel. of 413 North 54th
'Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes:
Pear Mrs. Pinkham :
"Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking
advice, aa I had femals Ula and could not
carry a child to maturity. I received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. I am not only a well woman in con
sequence, but have a beautiful baby glrL I
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me." -
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia K. Pink ham's
Vegetable Compound , cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female Ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi
tute which a druggist mar offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn. Mass', for special advice. It la
tro and alwsys helpful.
to see him tear down the track after the
receding cars.
He came back and took the baby on his
knee, jerking It savagely. It began to cry
again and Edwards tossed it up and down
at a great rate.
All at once he was confronted by a mus
cular, black bearded man, who seized the
baby from his hands and cast at him a
look of anger.
"What right have you to abuse this
child?" roared the stranger. "Is It yours?
Well, I guess not. For one small copper
penny I'd beat your face completely Into
the back of your neck."
Edwards slunk away. He sent a tele
gram to bis -wife and walked slowly up
town.
OMAHA CURFEW NOT THE ONLY
Mexico Haa a Similar Custom with
4nlte m Difference Retweea Ob.
servance There and Here.
"The curfew wMl catch you If you don't
watch out," were words weighted with
throbs of fear for youngsters when first
the curfew whistle shattered the atmos
phere In Omaha. Time has dulled the scare
and familiarity bred indifference to the
screaming signal of youthful bedtime. They
do things differently In some Mexlran
towns. Curfew means what the law says
for young and old.
A correspondent of Leslie's Weekly, trav
eling In Mexico, humped against the cur
few law in one town and tells what hap
pened. "And now," he writes, "for the
story of tlit queerest town of all, a town
where the, curfew Is still rung every night,
something probably now unknown In any
other town In the western hemisphere save
Port Au Trincc, the capital of the Wesi
Inr'.mn republic of Haytl. Not a baker's
dzen of tourists have 'done' the region
through which wo have Just passed in tha
last dozen years. I venture to believe,
therefore, that not one person In a million
in the United States knows of the little
Mexican town where everybody who ven
tures from his doorstep after 10 o'clock
at night Is arrested. Yet there Is such a
town. It is called Santa Maria and In
Santa Maria two of our party the doctor
and myself were arrested and put In Jail.
"By Mexican standards, Santa Maria is
a full-fledged modern city. From an Amer
ican viewpoint It is a medieval kind of
place a relic of feudalism, where the boss
of the town Is lord of nil the peons for
miles around. It has an alcalde, or mayor
and that mayor Is a sort of czar over the
whole country. One of his predecessors,
decades ago, established the custom of
ringing the curfew every night at 10
o'clock. This custom tho present mayor
maintains not only as to the mere ringing,
but also as to the enforcement of tho letter
of the curfew law. And woe to the peon
or stranger who Is caught abroad after 10."
CIGAR CLIPPER WORKS WELL
Inquisitive Woman ioses End of One
Finger Through Investigating
Machinery.
A young colored woman named Sallle
Catrell of 1009 Capitol avenue, while In a
drug More, on Douglas street yesterday,
became Interested In a cigar cutter on the
show case, and to learn how the machine
worked, pressed one of her Angers Into
orm of the holes. She drew the finger
out with an accompaniment of screams.
The point of the finger was cut off as
neatly as if it had been a cigar. The
wound was dressed in the drug store and
she started to go home, but fainted on the
sidewalk. The patrol wagon was called
and the woman was taken to the station,
where Police Surgeon Kennedy, after con
siderable trouble In quieting his patient
on account of an attack of hysterics,
dressed the wound, after w.hich she was
able to go home.
Announcements of the Theaters.
The determination of the Conried Metro
politan Opera company to give Omaha a
season of opera fully as complete in every
way aa the original production In New
York City has led them to a very heavy
extra outlay in Omaha, as they have con
structed the stage at the Auditorium and
fitted it out completely at their own ex
pense. It Is now up to the people of
Omaha, as a mark of appreciation of this
generous purpose, to reciprocate by a heavy
attendance on Wednesday and Thursday
next.
One of Shakespeare's greatest plays, a
melodrama and a masterpiece of tragic
composition is "Macbeth." t holds a
fascinating Interest for Its intensity of ac
tion as well as for its sublime poetry and
the peculiar air of the supernatural that
prevails through it all. No other piece
has enlisted' greater attention on the part
of players than this. It will be offered at
the Boyd theater this evening for a single
performance by a company at the head of
which is John Orifllth. Miss Louise Ripley
is the Lady Macbeth of the cast. The sup
porting" company Is said to be large and
competent, while the management has laid
particular stress on the scenic equipment of
the piece, and promises some genuine sen
sations in the way of the spectacular.
Mystery About Injuries.
Barney Haley, a well known character
In police clrcleB, was found at 9:15 o'clock
last night on the Union Pacific tracks
about fifty feet wept of Fourteenth street.
The men who found him notified a watch
man near that point and left without giv
ing their names or much description of
the circumstances. Hulev had a number
of very severe scalp and other wounds,
all of which, the police think, could have
been caused by a fall. Haley could give
no connected account of what had hap
pened aa he had been drinking consider
ably. I His wounds were dressed by Police
Surgeon Kennedy and Haley was tuken
care of at the police station.
Deserter Captured.

woman In the red light district In this city
drew him back. He will be returned to
the military authorities at Fort Crook.

Host Important One.
MISSOURI AVENUE PAVING TO BE ORDERED
Start Will De Made on One Bis; Public
Improvement and Many Other
' Matters Will De Given
Attention.
This evening the city council will meet and
pass the Missouri avenue paving ordinance.
This ordinance will have been published
two weeks and will be passed JusT as soon
as the clerk reads It the third time. This
ordinance provides that the street Is to be
paved from Thirteenth street to Twenty
fourth street with vitrified paving block,
laid on a concrete base., Under this ordi
nance two-thirds of the cost of this Im
provement will be paid by the city at large
and the balance by the abutting property
owners. As soon as the ordinance is signed
by the mayor the city clerk will be directed
to advertise for bids for the paving and
grading. The curbing contract has already
been let. When let the contract will call
for the completion of the work In ninety
days and It Is thought that if work cin
start soon after April 1 that this can be
accomplished.
Mayor Koutsky will send In names of vot
ers to All vacancies on the Registration
board, which meets on Saturday of this
week for a revision of the rrglstration. Ar
rangements are now all completed for the
election to be held on April 4. Three mem
bers of the Board of Education are to be
chosen and the park and city hall bond
proposition Is to be submitted to the vot
ers. There Is a possibility that the council
may permit the voters to suggest a prefer
ence for a site for a city hall building, but
such a selection would be no ways binding
on the council. So little interest is mani
fest In the bond propositions that it Is fig
ured that the vote on these propositions
will be light.
Judges and clerks of election will be re
quired to fill out forms giving the total vote
on School board candidates and the vote
on the bond proposition as soon as the bal
lots are counted and to get these returns
to the office of the city clerk Immediately
after the total Is known. By doing this
the people will be given the returns before
midnight.

and bath rooms. According to estimates
made the furnishings of these rooms will

work shortly after April 1 and the rooms
will be decorated and furnl.hed nicely. WI1
llnm Wright will most likely be chosen as

a porter. It Is thought that It will take
at least a month to fix the rooms for oc
cupancy. .The South Omaha aerie now has
600 members and there Is quite a large bal
ance In the treasury. The club rooms will
be used by members only.

A DANGEROUS HABIT
Gladstone's Physician GlTea Warning;
Against a (ironing American Cus
tom. The growing habit amongst Americans
of taking a mint tablet or some other so
called digestive after eating a hearty meal,
U something that Sir Andrew Clarke, Mr.
Gladstone's physlclun, advises strongly
against, saying: "It is absolutely danger
ous to take into the stomach remedies
which are popularly supposed to old In the
digestion of food." ,
There is nothing known to the science of
medicine that can perform the work of
the human stomach. Drugs do not and
cannot digest the food. They simply de
compose it. What can be more revolting
or disgusting than the thought of taking
something into the stomuch that is going
to turn the good food you have eaten into
a mass of corruption.
The only wuy to overcome Indigestion
and Its evil effects Is to remove all irrita
tion, congestion and inflammation from the
stomach, liver and intestines, and Ml-o-na
is the only agent known that will do this.
When a Ml-o-na tablet is taken before
each meal every trace of Irritation and In
flammation is removed from the stomach
and digestive system, and thoae organs
will extract from the food all that goes
to make good, rich blood, firm muscle,
ats&dy nerves and a sound, healthy body.
If you suffer with headaches. Indigestion,
flatulency, spots before the eyes, vertigo,
or dlzslneVi, palpitation of the heart,
sleeplessness, or any stomach trouble, get
a Itfty-ccnt box of Ml-o-im, from Bhermau
& McConnell, one of our most reliable
drug linns, whose faith in the remedy is
shown by their offer to return the money
if Ml-o-na dues nut give complete satis-taction.

DR. R. V. PIEKCK IS VINDICATED.
Maa-aalne Publishers Acknowledge
Their Inability to Substan
tiate (barges.
Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, whose
"Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite
Prescription" have established themselves
jn the patent medicine field ns remedies
of extraordinary merit, has every reason
to feel highly elated over the outcome of
his suit for .xKi,0G0 damages iigainst a well
known periodical. This publication de
clared in a recent lsue that Dr. Pierce's
remedies were not all of what they were
represented to be. Now that the doctor
has brought this siat for damages, the
publication haa come out with an article
in which the publishers acknowledge that
they had absolutely no proof of their
statements.
PRETTY COMPLIMENT.
Comley's "History of New York State"
hus this to say of Dr. Plercei
"Every nation owea everything that dis
tinguishes It as an Individual nation to the
few men who have had the couruge to step
beyond the boundaries prescribed by pro
fessional tradition or social custom.
"Of this class of men the medlcul pro
fession hus furnished a distinguished ex
ample In the successful and Justly cele
brated physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce of
Buffalo, N. Y., and any history treating
of the Industries of the Empire state would
be Incomplete without a sketch of hla
earnest and useful work.
"That his success is real Is evidenced by
the fact that his reputation, as a man and
physician, does not deteriorate; and the
fact that there is a steadily Increasing de
maud for his medicines proves that they
are not nostrums, but reliable remedies for
disease."
BUSY INSTITUTION.
Dr. Pierce has a large laboratory in
Buffalo and a hospital for the treatment
of various ailments. The place is full at
all times, and treatment Is given by the
best of graduated specialists. The doctor
Is not only one of the principal manu
facturers of patent medicines in the coun
try, but he Is one of the greatest ad
vertisers. He knows that to deal prop
ertly with the public It is necessary to let
the public know you have something that
Is needed.
Human nature Is very contradictory. A
merchant advertises his business, and It Is
all right. He has 1 silks he Is selling fur
64 cents; but if a doctor undertakes to tell
the public that he has a new remedy for a
particular aliment he Is frowned upon by
the other doctors. When a man has some
thing he knows is good he can't expect
to sell It unless he lets the public know
about It, too. Fake advertisements carry
a business for a shc-t time only. Lincoln
was right when he said: "You could not
fool all the people all the time." A busi
ness which, like Dr. Pierce's, has stood the
test for 40 years, could not have been built
u; on fuke advertisements.

13390. early against Boner. Appeal from
Dawes. Former Judgment of reversal ad
hered to and decree entered In this court
confirming and establishing appellant's
right to redemption heretofore eftectuated.
Holeomb, C. J.
1. In an Interlocutory order entered on a
former appeal of this case considered and
held not to be res Judicata as to the lighu
of tho parties to redeem land from a decree
rendered in the action and sale made ill
pursuance thereof so as to become the law
of the case.
2. The statutory right of redemption from
sale differs essentially from the equity of
redemption proper, it la usuully self-executing
and to enjoy the benefit thereof no pro
ceedings are ordinarily required to be had
in the courts to make such right effective.
This right or privilege Is given by statute
to the owner of the equity of redemption or
his grantee.
3. Whether or not the redemption of real
estate by the owner of the equity of re
demption or his grantee from the decree
and the sale made thereunder as effectuated
Is with or without prejudice to the rights
of one claiming as tne assignee of a mort
gagee, is not determined. This question Is
not within the Issues raised by the appli
cation to redeem, nor Is it Involved In the
exercise of tho statutory right of redemp
tion from a decree and a sale of real es
tate made in pursuance thereof.

Letton, C. ,,
1. Where an affidavit in a proceeding to
revive a Judgment alleges the existence of
the Judgment, the fact that It la unpaid
and that it haa become dormant, these
allegations are sufficient to Justify the dis
trict court In making a conditional order
of revivor and upon proper service and
default to sustain an order making the re
vivor absolute.
I. The five years' lapse of time from
the rendition of a Judgment or the Issuance
of an execution thereon to the time that
a Judgment becomes dormant, only raises
the presumption of payment thereof and
does not deprive the Judgment of all vital
ity. Wright against Sweet, 10 Neb., lfo-
1. In this case the fact that the trans
cript of a Judgment In Justice court was
filed In the office of the clerk of the dis

from acquiring Jurisdiction of proceedings
to revive the Judgment.
