Arrll 8-Th Polish workmni and revolutionists have found a new way of trying to emlmnass the gov ernment by organizing boycotts of vodka and tobacco, witii the double purpose of saving the monry of the poor and reducing the revenue of the elate. The - revolt against the tyranny of the church administration is -attracting Im nicimc attention. The clergy lire now speaking their sentl nimts (iulte us openly on religion as are llbeialo In the political field. The Intimate toni.ection hemeen (lie movements for the regeneration of the church and the reor ganization of the ft ule la Bet forth in a Btrong letter printed this morning and ascribed to "a high ecclesiastic," In which the writer gays: The chuich as a living idea Is inextric ably bound up with Kusslnn lire, and when the Russian puhllc realized that they could no longer exist without breaking the shackles of the bureaucracy the church uwoke from 1M years of lethargy, and Its first murmur was that It was the universal riarht of every thinking Russian to do his task with freedom. The letter further declares that for years the clergy were held so closely In the vine of obedience, not to an Idea, but to tho dictates of one man, who virtually said, "1 am the church;" that they had become automatons to register his decrees, and now with th' propects of liberty before them they ore hardly capable of raising their voices. In the cities, It Is added, there have been many instances where the church has been used as a political ma chine to stir up hatred and strife between the various classes of the population, re ferring especially to the recent Incitement of Ignorant agnlnst Intelligent. The writer halls the day when the church, freed from state control, will devote itself to religion and not to politic. REVAL, European Russia, April S. This city has Just recovered from a great fright. Stories were industriously circulated that the revolutionists had planned an armed attack on the military for yesterday, and (the Inhabitants were warned that If they did not show their sympathy with the revo lutionists by hanging out red flags they would share the fate of the troops. Con sequently people remained Indoors In a state of terror all day long, but nothing happened. In hundreds of houses, how ever, red flags were ready to flung to the tree lie. OUR LETTER BOX.

CARNEGIE OFFERS MILLION Would Contribute that Sam to Snper nnuuntrtl Methodist Preach er a. MHI.nOSE, Mass., April S.-The condi tional pledge by Andrew Carnegie to give II.IXW (X)fl to the fund for superannuated preachers was announced to the New Eng land Methodist conference here today by Rv. Dr. James Boyd Brady, field hm nt of the Preachers' Aid society, who was ap pointed last year to raise a fund for this purpose. Dr. Brady stated that Mr Carnegie had promised to give the Inst f 1,0)0.000 of a fund of $2,000,000 to be raised by the society. There was an unexpected interruption to Dr. Brady's report. "I am engaged to Miss Ilolen Goit'nl," said "the secretary, and then he paused. There was a stir at the press table. Sev- j eral men arose quickly and one started iu juve, wnen ne was sioppea Dy Dr. Brady's next words, "to meet her and dis cuss the needs of our work." Before the sentence was completed Dr. John Gallbralth, Boston, a member of the conference, addressed the chair, saying that he hoped that no reporter would mention the name of the woman to whom Dr. Brady had referred. There was evidence of suppressed ex citement In the room. Dr. Brady turned to Dr. Gallbralth and snld, with some heat: "I consider that a personal insult." The last word was drowned in an uproar, In which cries of "Stop, stop," were heard from different parts of the room. A mo ment later the moderator's efforts brought quiet and Dr. Brady completed his report. Immediately afterward the conference board of stewnrds presented a report, which, In effect, was the legislation of Dr. Brady out of office. The report contained a recommendation that no field- agent be hired by the conference next year. The report was promptly accepted. Dr. Brady was appointed field agent last year to raise money to make good the loss sustained by the defalcation of Wil lard B. Allen, secretary of the Preachers' Aid society, discovered In 1H03. amounting to J7B.0UO. Dr. Brady, In taking up the work, announced that not only did he propose to make up the loss sustained by the society, but to raise a much larger Hinount, which, In his report today, he placed nt $25,OuO,000. Dr. Brady after the Incident said: "It was an Ignoble, unbrotherly, unnec essary and important insult, and directed at myself and at the reporters. Notwith standing the action of the conference, I shall continue my work of raising money and expect to secure the fund of 125,000,000. Bis Sala of Trunks, Traveling Bags and Suit Gases.

Mr. McArdle, who came from the City of Brotherly love, had many an ecdotes to tell of his trip and of early ex periences In this vicinity. Ilrek Found Knlltr.

City Attorney Lambert of South Omaha tins filed n motion for a new trial in the rase in which George M. Nicholson se cured a verdict for .Wi for personal In .lurles.

Who hould Canvass I he, Votes. LINCOLN. April d To the Editor of The Bee: The possibility of adopting con stitutional amendments has been very much agitated, but no one seems to be aware that there Is In thjs state no statute under which the votes for or against such an amendment may be determined. The legis lature Is constituted the canvassing board as to exeutlve state officers, etc., but has no power to canvass votes upon con stitutional amendments. The late legisla ture adopted S. F. 12? to remedy this de fect. Probably under the mlstnken notion that by this bill there could be fl ount of the votes only for and against such ameni ments Governor Mickey vetoed S. F. 122. The existing law provides that the votes for executive officers, etc.. shall be returned to the legislature. S. F. 122 re quired like returns to said body ns to amendments; It did not reoulre the legis lature to consider alone the votes cast for and against amendments. As the legis lature should be assumed to be ntnenablc to law. It Is unwarranted assumption by Governor Mickey that that body, with nil the votes before It on executive officers, etc.. would Ignore Its knowledge of the highest vote east for any person and make Its canvass solely upon partial returns, those for and against the constitutional amendments under Its consideration. We hnve now no menns of determining whether or not a constitutional amendment has been carried. In the history of this state this condition of helplessness has led to disgraceful results. In 1W7 there was enacted Chapter II, an act entitled: "An act to recount the ballots cast for and against the legislative amendment on the 2d day of November, 1SSS, and to declare the result." Ten years afterwards there was adopted another special law, "To re count the ballots cast on the constitutional amendment relating to judges of the su preme court, etc." During the legislative canvass thus authorized the attempted fraudulent manipulation of ballots caused such a scandal that the recount whs fruit less. Not so, however, as to the amend ment canvassed In 1SS7. for, probnbly somewhat Influenced by the fact that each legislator's term was thereby lengthened twenty days and his compensation for the whole term Increased $2 per day, the legis lature under Its special act declared the amendment duly carried. The want of provisions requiring county clerks to cer tify up the votes on constitutional amend ments nnd the lack of a canvassing board to ascertain and announce the result thereon Invite the legislature again by special law to arrognte those functions to Itself. In Weston against Rynn, 97 Ne braska, 347, the supreme court held the amendment was legally canvassed In 18X7. Governor Mickey In his message says that a canvass by the legislature Is a flagrant violation of the constitution. No one dares to say which Is right, for who shall de cide when such eminent doctors disagree? S. F. 122 would, If a law, obviate the pos sibility of speclnl legislation such as was resorted to In 1S87 and In 18D7. As It is now we are at the mercy of any legisla ture that may see fit, by special law, to count In a constitutional amendment, re gardless of true conditions, just as it was done In 1887 and was attempted In 1SD7, and Governor Mickey holds that an attempt to escape from these embarrassments by a general law made In advance, of elections Is a flagrant violation of the constitution. ROBERT RYAN. Work of the Dunglan Delegation. OMAHA. April 8. To the Editor of The Bee: In your article entitled "Where Our Delegation Fell Short," you do the dele gation an Injustice by Intimating that the delegation did not support the Important measures you mentioned namely, ( the leg islative apportionment bill, the institu tional amendment to allow Omaha to make Its own charters, terminal railroad taxa tion and the commodity rate bills. The truth Is, the three first mentioned measures were earnestly supported by every member of the delegation. We worked for months to get votes for the apportionment bill, but we. did It aj quietly as we could, for we knew that the opposition to giving Omaha a much larger delegation would be likely to kill the bill, and It did. We could have made more noise and not done as well. The whole argument the railroads had against terminal taxation was that Omaha would reap all the benefit, and the more we paid In Its favor the less chance It had to pass. The amendment to the constitution to allow all cities with more than 6,000 pop ulation to make their own charters, was beat by a combination of railroad men and farmers. The farmers voted against the constitutional amendment on account o? the cost of publishing the amendments. It was stated on the floor of the house that the last amendments cost over $30,003. Those three measures were beat not be cause rre did not support them, but be cause of the Jealousy of Omaha and a com bine of railroad men and farmers. The same combination voted down every meas ure that was Introduced in favor of or ganised labor and attempted to abolish tho labor bureau. The delegation honestly differed on the commodity rate bill. Most of us believed that it would result like the Newberry rate bill, that cost the state $20,000 in law suits, and no benefit. There was no indi cation that the business men or the labor ing people of Omaha favored tho measure. Those whom I talked to nbout It were all tpposed to It. Tho men that favored it most were the men who voted down every bill that was Introduced In favor of Omaha or In the Intertst of labor. We favored and voted for an elective railroad commis sion with power to regulate rates nnd ad just any unfair treatment to persons or communities, as we thought It the bust way to settle the railroad question. I believe that every member of the del egation did what he believed to be for th best Interests of Omaha and Douglas county. For myself I have no regret. I would not take back a vote that I cast.

MORE DISTURBANCES DURING THE DAY Police Escort Wagons from Ward A Co.'a BntldlnjK to Freight Depot lloreott on a Hotel. CHICAGO, April 8. In a final hope of preventing a greater strike developing out of the Montgomery Ward troubles, the Chicago Employers' assoclation( will seek a conference with the union leaders. A committee headed by John V. Farwell, jr., was appointed at a meeting of employers this evening to arrange a meeting with the officers conducting the strike. At the meeting tonight more than thirty headH of lurge business etneerns were pres ent. John T. Plrle was chnlrman. The meeting was hastened by the serious out hok for u prolonged and desperate struggle unless action was taken to prevent It. The marked activity of employers durin the day was matched by the alertness of the unions. Meetings were called for to morrow afternoon, at which the union labor strength of Chicago will be represented. Every local union of teamsters will hold special meetings, and In addition a mass meeting of officials of all the unions, both nfflllated and 'non-affiliated with the Chi cago Federation of Labor, han been called. Boycott on Hotel. One of the most important developments of the day was the boycotting of the Windsor Clifton hotel. The fact that twelve nonunion men employed by toe Montgomery Ward company hail found lodging In the hotel came to the -ears of the union leaders and the place was promptly put under the union ban. De livery of supplies to the hotel was stopped ton'sht. A serious attempt to overawe the drivers and police occurred when a caravan of Ward's wagons enroute to the Santa Fe freight house reached Twelfth street. The viaduct crossing State street at Twelfth street was crowded with a disorderly throng of men and boys. Fifty policemen rushed upon the viaduct and after some minutes of vigorous club bing cleared the structure. The loaded wagons then proceeded to the freight shed, where the loads were deposited. As the wagons were about to leave tha police and nonunion drivers were pelted with stones, sticks and cans. Many of the police were struck. The officers again charged the crowd, clearing a way as before. Kggshells Filled with Acid. It was declared by policemen that at Kinzle and Dearborn streets acid-Ailed egg shells were thrown Into the crowd. None of them did any damage. Policemen Meyer picked up one of the missiles and his hand was burned by acid. Detectives searched buildings In the vicinity, but could get no clue as to who threw the eggs. L'nder heavy escort of police a num ber of wagon loads of freight were sent to various railway stations to day by , Montgomery, Ward & Co., despite sympathizers with the company's striking teamsters and garment workers. The drivers were Jeered. Angry crowds congregated, but the police force kept tha wagons moving. Many arrests were made. There Is a possibility that the entire Express Drivers' union will be called out. owing to the determined attitude of tha express companies to handle Montgomery Ward's business. I'nlon leaders are plac ing dependence on Mayor-elect Dunne. They say he is a vigorous advocate of arbitration, nnd that he will strive for arbitration In the Interest of public order rather than crush the strike with the police. It Is said that the ftrike will not reach full growth and vigor until Monday. Mayor-elect Dunne will be Inaugurated on that day. In response to a telegram Judge Dunne wired from New York his attitudo toward the present trouble. Ha said: I will preserve the peace from the Incep tion of any strike, but will exhaust every effort to bring about arbitration between employers and employes while I am mayor of Chicago. CONTINUES EQUITABLE CASE Directors ot Heady to Araroe Appli cation of One of fthe Stock, holders. NEW YORK, April 8. Argument on the question whether tho officers and di rectors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States should be permanently enjoined from amending the society's charter so as to permit the elec tion of twenty-eight out of fifty-two of Its directors Ly policyholders was postponed until Monday when the case came up be fore Justice Maddox of the New York state supreme court In Brooklyn today. Yesterday Justice Maddox granted to Franklin B. Lord, a stockholder of the Equltuble society, an order directing the officers and directors of that society to show cause why the mutualisatlon plan should not be enjoined. The plan was ap proved, at a meeting of the board of di rectors on Thursday. Mr. Lord contends that it contains no method of indemnifica tion of the stockholders and that it cannot be put into effect until two meetings of the board of directors have received notice that It is contemplated. He avers also that It would violate his property rights. When the case came up today Edward M. Shepard, representing Mr. Lord, said he was prepared to go on and intended to present affidavits concerning the business of the society. William B. Hornblower, representing the directors, declared that, while he was prepared to argue the ques tion of the Issuance of an Injunction on points of law, he was unprepared to go Into questions affecting the business of the society. In response to a question from Justice Maddox, Mr. Hornblower said that the mutualizatlon amendment was not ap proved by the directors until after notice of the complaint brought by Mr. Ixird had been aerved upon them, but that before the order of the court had been signed. The, notice of the complaint was served upon the directors on April S, it was suited, and Mr. Shepard declared that an attempt was hastily made to drive through the charter amendment on April t. At the conclusion of several statements, hut without any legal argument by counsel, it was agreed to put the hearing over until Monday, with the understanding that the directors of the Equitable would make no further move toward mutualizatlon until after the hearing.

Some people are "born tired," that's be cause thev have inherited or acquired bad blooxl; they have what might be termed lazv blood. One must practice economy of vital powers to reap success. Excitement and worry kill more people than can be laid to the microbes of dis ease. Power and force comes to him ' who studies his body-needs. Thus, one must know that the blood in the body should be kept sweeping round ami round through the system at the rate of seven miles per hour. This blood should not only be active but should be pure and rich, free from impurities. In the kidneys and liver the blood is purified of its waste materials, and sometimes we should assist nature in putting these organs into healthful action. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made up of roots and barks, is a concen trated extract of Nature's health-giving plants, which stimulates the kidneys and liver into healthful action, purifies the blood and thus cures disease. Take the example of the Hon. Alonzo Ans comb, whose picture is given here : "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery came as a veritable God-send into my life," writes Hon. Alonzo Anscomb, Sir Knight Recorder, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, 1825 Vinewood Ave., Detroit, Mich. "After I had suffered for over three year3 with diabetes, and never believed that I would get any better. I was so weak that an hour's exertion would exhaust me. Had no appetite and no ambition, life looked dark indeed to me, and I felt that I already had one foot in the grave, when my attention was called to 'Golden Med ical Discovery ' as a wonderful remedy for just my trouble. You can realize the great joy I felt to find my health actually improving and to later realize that with this medicine the disease had gradually disappeared, and life and health had returned to me. It was nearly four months before I was com pletely cured, but I am a well man to-day, and give all the praise to Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD of restoring waste of tissue and impover ishment of the blood and nervous force is used when you take an alterative ex tract of herbs and roots, without the use of alcohol, like Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. This vegetable medicjne coaxes the digestive functions and helps in the assimilation of food, or rathef takes from the food just the nutriment the blood requires. Along with its use one should take exercise in the outdoor air, get all one can of God's sunlight and air ; practice a mild breathing . exercise each day. This "Medical Discovery" gives no false stimulation, because it does not contain alcohol or a narcotic. It helps diges tion and the assimilation of such ele ments In the food as are required for the blood. Instead of a cod liver oil, against which the already sensitive stomach will declare open rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying action upon the sensitive stom ach and gives to the blood the food" elements the tissues require. It main tains one's nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate nutri tious food. It overcomes gastric irrita bility and symptoms of indigestion, and, in this way, lever, night-sweats, head aches, etc., are done away with. Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifies the blood and t t.tirely eradicates the poisons that breed and feed disease. It thus cures scrofula, ecrema, erysipelas, boils, pimples, and other eruptions that mar and fear the skin. Tine blood is essential to good health. The weak, run-down, debilitated condition which so many people experience is commonly the effect of impure blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery not only cleanses the blood of impurities, but it increases the activity of tne Mocd-mak-ing glands, and it enriches the bod v with an abundant supply of pure, rich Llood, No matter how powerful the intel'ect or the resources of intellectual pcwer.lt must be backed tip by physical force. Every day the youth or'tnan'mtist manu facture a pint of rich, arterial blood, that is pure, stimulating to the brain, and that can rebuild the tissues that were destroyed in yesterday's work. "Please accept my thanks for vonr wonderful medicine, ' Golden Medical Discovery,' which has brought me from the bed to be a healthy man again," writes G. W. Brisco, of Abilene, Kans. "When I began taking your medicine I was run down in health and flesh, bad no artie- tite, had heavy pain in abdomen, head ache, backache, dizziness, shortness of breath, also eyes were weak, could not do any work. After I got Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser it told me just what was the matter and what I should take to gain health. After using five bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' I am now able to do a good day's work and do it with ease. The relief was something that I could not dercribe. It has enabled mo to do my work steadily ever since." PERSONS OF EITHER SEX Before or after marriage should know themselves. Ignorance of the laws of SELF and SEX leads to misery and ill health. Do not permit false modesty to debar you from such knowledge. Know about the Process of Generation, Physical and Vital Properties of the Blood, the Organs of the Body. A great deal of sickness and a great many doc tors bills might be saved to any family by keeping a copy of Dr. Tierce's great thousand-page free book, "The Common Sense Medical Adviser," at hand. It gives valuable recipes for curing the dis eases that are curable without a doctor and comprehensive information about Anatomy and Physiology with over 300 illustrations. "The Common Sense Medical Adviser" is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., 21 one-cent stamps for the book in paper covers, or 31 stamps for tha cloth-bound volume. IVe guarantee that Dr. Pierce's Golden contain alcohol, opium, or any harmful drug. It is a pure compound of medicinal plants scientifically combined. Persons making false statements concerning its ingredients will be prosecuted.
