WOMEN, AND CONSIDER THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACT That In addressing Mrs, Pinkhara you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman wh'che experience 'with wo man's diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man besides a man does not under stand simply because be is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift alongf front bad to worse, knowing full wt.ll that, they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them selves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. tMnkliam's Standing Invitation: Women sufferinfr from any form of female weak ness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. I'inkhana at Lynn, Mas. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can f-eely ta.it of her private Illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Plukham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than passible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks noth inffin return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

Plscui'flon ss to whether or not the Monmouth Park school building and Its elaborate hrntlnn and ventilating; appara tus are worth the 47,(iro Invested In them, and whether It Is wipe to employ Archi tect Thomas It. Kimball, who drew the plans to make plana for the new slxteen room Vinton building, enlivened things nt the meeting of the Board of Education last night. The result of the talk was to defer action upon a resolution advocated by the committee on buildings and property which would authorize the oommlttee to hire an architect to prepare the preliminary plan. Member Knnis made the motion to thin effect. Member Cole ankod how much the building had cost and Member Rice told him U7,0CO. Mr. Cole said he thought the district should get considerable returns from so much money, and Mr. Rice re sponded that the ventilation was perfect, and that some of the cost Is due to the fact that the structure Is built so it can be enlarged Member Lindsay, who Is a member of the buildings and property committee, said he preferred to lot the whole board take the "onus" of selecting an architect In stead of unloading the burden on the com mittee. Vance on the Ventilation. Then Member Vance said some uncom pll nentary things snout the new school building. "I do not know how the heat ing plant is working now," said he. "But I was there In the winter and It was very unsatisfactory. While I was there an ex pert from Chicago was trying to get the apparatus In working order and failed utterly at that particular time. Tosslbly he succeeded later, but he-was in anything but a pleasant frame of mind that morn ing. The heating people said the ven tilating system was wrong, and the ven tilating people said the heating system was wrong, and I came to the conclusion that everything wns wrong. I know that some thing Is wrong. There has been much com plaint concerning the outside appearance of the building and against the amount of money we put in It. It seems an un necessary outlay of money. If the same architect Is employed for other schools some way should, be devised to curb his power. Mr. Kimball Is a first class archi tect, but he has the reputation of beins expensive, and contractors say they figure higher on Jobs that he supervises." "That's because he Insists upon the spec ifications being lived up to and the right kind of work," asserted Mr. Rice. Member Koenig said he understood the heating and ventilating plants had beon turned over to what was supposed to be the best firms of their kind In Chicago, und that the work had cost about one third of the amount put in the building. Defense of the Architect. "The fact- that contractors object so strenuously to the architect Is proof that his work Is good," said Mr. MeCague. "But as chairman of the finance commit tee I wajit to call your attention to the fact that we will have only about JtO.000 left In the building fund this year. This will enable you to employ an architect and perhaps get foundation In. The building fund next year may be large enough only for a twelve-room building, and the remainder of the structure may have to go up later." Returning to the original subject, Mr. Rice said the heating and ventilating plants at the Monmouth Park school are going to work satisfactorily on an econom ical basis and declared that the building Is the only one in the west equipped with up-to-date apparatus of this kind. Chnir man Christie said the architectural beauty of the building had been lacriflced to keep the expense down and this was admitted. Cutting; Off Parker's Power. Proceedings were started toward cur tailing the power of Truant Officer Par ker, which he has exercised up to the present time without a check-gauge. An amendment to the rules was Introduced and acted upon favorably, which will cause the truant officer to be under the jurisdiction of the superintendent of in struction and not authorized to undertake pros -cutions under the compulsory educa tion law without Instructions from the latter. Secondly, a report adopted for the purpose of paying $40 to Justice Bald win and t-7 to his constable forbids the truant officer from taking these cases Into Justice courts, and directs him to bring action ire the police court, which will eliminate the charges. The money was for the fifteen cases which Officer Parker pulled off in Justice Baldwin's court. Acting Chairman Balrd of the judiciary committee said the truant officer informed him that in police court he was forced to lose several hours waiting for his cases to be called, while the Justice arranged hearings in the evening or at other times so as not to Interfere with truant catching. Member Cole stated that Officer Parker told him lie could not "get results" In the police court; that cases were dismissed and he failed thereby to instil the proper reverence for the law in delinquent par ents. Enlarging Clifton Hill School. Authority was given for the construc tion of two frame additions, each 25x23 feet In size, on either end of the. Clifton Jllll school, the estimated cost being )4,7uo, the work to be done under the supervi sion of the superintendent of buildings and the direction of the committee on buildings and property. Four rooms will be added to the school In this way. The plans were drawn by Superintendent of Buildings Flnluyson. "The additional room la budly needed," said Superintendent Davidson. "At pres ent no leas than fifty children from the district are attending the Walnut Hill school, overcrowding it und making one or more rooms unsanitary. There is much building going on in the territory and e.n imperative demand for more room in the Clifton 11111 school building." A letter from Justice W. M. Eastman asking that the board use Us -Influence to have a gas lump on the alley near the Long annex restored was referred to a committee. The Justice said that the ah sencs of the lamp causes rowdies to as semble who are bad for the neighborhood annoy three church congregations and da face school property. An offer from Frank W. Davie of I40U for five lots at Forty-eighth and William streets was accepted. The lota form an old school site no longer used or wanted. Proposals to sign petitions for grading Twelfth street lrom Psclflo to Mason, Park avenue from Farnam to Dodgs and Douglas from Twenty-ninth to Thirtieth were referred to the attorney for advice so the board will not get financially In volved. At his request permission was given Member. Cole to be absent about two months, during which time he and Iila wife will visit his old hoi,: in Ireland. Report of Secretary Borers.

MOB ATTACKS STATE STREET CAR Two Colored Rnnonlon Drivers Roughlr Handled lie fore Police Can Rescue Them Man Fatally Beaten. CHICAGO. April lt.-After a conference held In his office late this afternoon with representatives of the teamsters' union Mayor Dunne announced that he had prac tically given up hope of settling the Mont gomery Ward & Co. strike. "I will hold conferences tomorrow," said the mayor, "with representatives of both sides, but I have no Idea at the present that anything will result." There were numerous disturbances In the streets during the day, and others around the freight houses. Several non union men on their way home were fol lowed by strike sympathizers 'and budly beaten, one of them, Henry Auten, being beaten so badly with brass knuckles that he may die. Blar Riot on State Street. The most snrious disturbance of the day occurred late In the afternoon at the Intersection of State and Madison streets. A mob numbering fully 2,000 people gath ered about a State street cable car on which James Jackson und Moses Flood, two colored men who had driven a wagon to Montgomery Ward & Co.'s, were rid ing. Stones and sticks were hurled at the cur, and In a twinkling every window In It was smashed. Two policemen rushed into the car, and in order to protect the colored men from the crowd placed them under arrest. A riot call was sent to the central station and it required the twenty officers who responded and thirty minutes time to drive away the crowd and open the streets against the crowd. Teamsters Working; Slowly. Exasperating difficulties were ex perienced at every turn today by the wagons of Montgomery Ward & Co., whose teamsters and garment work ers are on strike. At the Michigan Central freight house In South Water street the police escorting the Ward caravan met with stubborn opposition on the part of the teamsters in sympathy with the strik ers. The anti-Ward teamsters loaded or unloaded their wagons with provoking slowness and told the police, "We are not pieces of machinery." Many of the teamsters In the street lead ing to the freight house lns.'sted that they had been waiting for two hours, and when the police made way for the Ward wagons to be loaded earlier than other wagons there was a loud complaint from each teamster. Members of tho Freight Handlers' union gave indications that unless the police ceased to give the Ward wagons the right to unload before teamsters who had been waiting ahead, a strike among the freight handlers would be ordered. The crowd at the West Side warehouse of Ward & Co. was so unyielding that when a string of the Arm's wagons reached the place tho police were forced to use clubs to make a passageway. BLOOD CBIXS. MAN KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO D. R. Rundel Steps In Front of Slow Moving; Machine and Is Badly Hurt. As Emll Brandeis of J. L. Brandeis A Sons was being taken In his automobile faam his place of business at 6 o'clock last evening the machine, being driven by his chauffeur, George Stevens, struck and knocked down man named D. R. Rundel at the Sixteenth street crossing of Doug las street and Inflicted Injurled that may prove fatal. Mr. Brandeis gave instruc tions that the man .be taken first to police headquarters, where Police Surgeons Wig ton and Kennedy dressed the wounds, and afterward directed that he be taken to the Wise Memorial hospital. Rundel was knocked unconscious and re mained In that condition after he was taken to the hospital. He had a cut over the left eye, a cut on the back of his head and apponred to be suffering from con cussion of the brain. Mr. Brandeis gave Instructions that everything possible be done for Rundel. The surgeons were un able to determine the full extent of his Injuries, as the man has been suffering from cancer of the stomach and was in a very weak and emaciated condition. At the time of the accident the auto mobile was moving slowly. As it neared the crossing Rundel had time to go past the course of the automobile, but he sud denly and unexpectedly hesitated and stopped and before the machine could be turned or stopped completely the man was knocked down. Rundel has been In the city only a short tims and has been taken care of most of the time at the police station, where he said he was aided by charity to get to Oman a from Minnesota. He said he was run over by a wagon last October and In jured In the abdomen, and has never since been well. He is about 80 years old. At a late hour last night Rundel was resting easily, but was still unconscious and the attendants said that the probable result of the wounds could not be de termined at that time. in HEUTI. IK DISBASB. Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is not quite so rich, for scientists hsve proven that the normal number of red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four end a half million, to the square millimeter. The normal cell is not absolutely round in health, but, in disease, becomes tx tremely irregular in shape. Every one can he in perfect health and possess the mil lions of rich red blood corpuscles if thev only know how to go about it. Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf falo, N. Y., advises every man sad woman to prepare for a long life by observing na ture's laws. In the first place, if yonr digestion is faulty, snd the food yon eat is not taken up by. the blood and assim ilated properly, you need s tonic snd diges tive corrector, something tbst will increase the red blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in nature's own wsy. Years ago, in his active practice, be found that sn alterative extract of certain herbs sud roots, put up without the use of alco hol, would put the liver, lungs snd heart 4nto fuller snd more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Ey assimilating the food eaten, it nourishes the blood, snd, in stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per son's blood tikes on a rich red color snd the corpuscles are more nearly round. Nervousness is only the cry of the starved nerves for food, and when the nerves are fed en rich trd blood the person loses those irritable feelings, sleeps well at night and feels refreshed in the morning.

David Bispham was the offering of the Omaha Concert promoters Inst evening nt the First Baptist church and It proved not only the most enjoyable event of the series but also one of the most pleasant song recitals ever given In the city. The noted baritone was at his best and those who have henrd him In the past know that this means much. In addition to this the program was a most satisfactory one. The concert drew out a fashionable audi ence as well as a large percentage of the music lovers of the city, which was of it self an incentive to conscientious effort. The first on the program wan a group of four songs so varied In character as to demonstrate his versatility and In which he cleurly proved himself a master. The group comprised. "O, Ruddier Than tho Cherry" (Handel), "The Monk," (Myer beer), "I'm a Roamer" (Mendelssohn) ami The Erlking" (Schufcert). Next cam" selections from operas, "The Evening Star" (Wagner), sung In German; The Page's Song" from Falstaff (Verdi), given In Italian, and "The Prologue." With exquisite tenderness "Bongs My Mother Tnught Me" brought back memo ries of years long past to his auditors, and the old favorite, "The Two Orenidlfrs," was appreciated. Instead of "Tho Sandn o' Dee" (Clay), Mr. Bisphnm was henrd In Drink to Me With Thine Eyes." followed by "The Tretty Creature" (storancei. ine beautifully' harmonious . "Who Knows?" from "The Spanish Duel" (Max Hrlnrlch). I.,ady Moon" (Bruhns) nnd the trag'c Dannv Deever" (Walter Damrotch). Harold A. Smith as accompanist was In every way satisfactory.
