The Omaha carriage builders,
"Drummond especially," are
under grateful obligations to
the officers of tho HOUSE
KHOW ASSOCIATION In many
ways. First, for the Inspira
tion given to the people of
Omaha to buy better horses,
better vehicles and better har
ness, and better stable equip
ments. Boost the Horse Show
i '
Second, for the patronage re
ceived from the officers and
their friends, also the exhib
itors of the HOKSK BHOW AS"
SOCIATION. This means the
purchase of a goodly number
of fine carriages, buggies and
pony carts, also fine coach har
ness, in double and single
styles; saddles, bridles and

the horse and stable, tn dress
ings, bandages, brushes, scrap
ers, sponges, oils, chamois
skins, baiters, muzzles, quarter
boots, chains and snaps, horse
clothing, sheets and blankets.
Boo3t the Horse Show
In this connection we wish to
say that the majority of ve

through this firm. Our dray
has been in constant use haul
ing carriages from the shop or
residence to the HORSE

four largo firms with, display
horses, carriages and harness
for display windows, every one
taking prises for their decora
tions. Boost the Horse Show
' We ask every Omaha citizen
to remember that Omaha car
riage builders are a fine lot of
fellows, thoroughly reliable,
and spend nearly every dollar
they make in Omaha. They are
entitled to home patronage on
every carriage or wagon used
in Omaha, and ought to have it
from their home merchants.
; Boost the Horse Show
Lastly, this DRUMMOND
firm will guarantee, select and
purchase the finest vehicles or
harness from Chicago, New
.York or Paris markets and
deliver in Omaha at a lower
-price than any consumer . can
buy. Why shouldn't we? Our
judgment is good from thirty

a noticeable Increase In the volume of
business transacted by local merchants.
August was a very dull month, and Sep
tember was but little better. With the
coming of October the fall trade picked up
remarkably. Nearly every merchant In the
city reports a slight Improvement over
Septsmber and the second week In this
month was better than the first.
This Increase In trade Is shown by the
transaction of more business at tht banks
and a better showing on the dally balance
sheet of merchants. All of the bankers
In the city look forward to a steady In
crease in business from this time on. They
say there Is general prosperity In this sec
tion of the country and that the demand
for loans to carry on business enterprises
shows a healthy condition of affairs. At
the packing houses employment Is being
given to nearly all who apply for work
and there Is a scarcity of good men at
this time. With a continuance of heavy
receipts of live stock the packers are run
ning their" plants full time and are con
tinually on the lookout for competent men
to work In all departments. In case severe
weather holds off for awhile some of the
Improvements contemplated, such as pav
ing and building operations will be the
means of furnishing employment to a large
number. The more men employed makes
more business for merchants. The outlook
for brisk business for the next few months
Is stated to be more promising than a
year ago,
Three Resrlstratlon Days.
Assistant City Attorney Winters has pre
pared an opinion to the effect that .three
days of registration are required. The first
day of registration will be on October 18,
the second on November 27, and the third
on November 4. In compliance with this
opinion City CWk Glllln Is preparing a
new set of registration books to be used
on the days specified. There Is to be a
revision of the list of registrars and very
likely the completed list will be presented
at Monday night's meeting of the council.
Borne of the members of the registration
board will be retained, but In several of
the precincts new officials will be named.
As fsr as possible the registration booths
will be located where the election will be
held. Attorney Winters holds that the
registration on primary day has nothing
to do with the usual general fall registra
tion. Lutheran Church Organisation.
Today the congregation of the English
Lutheran church will meet at Masonic hall

tion. The congregation Is to be named, a

TOOMEY HAS TOO MANY CHECKS
Rnna When Officer Appears, bnt la
, Pnrsned nnd Taken to
Station.
E. C. Toomey, giving his address as Chey
enne, Wyo., was taken In the attempt to
pass an alleged bogus check at A. L. Gold
smith's saloon at Ninth and Capitol avenue.
The man had two checks for $49.10 each,
drawn on the Nebraska National bank in
favor of George Spencer, signed by Charles
C. Blackburn. He represented to the bar
keeper that he was Spencer and showed a
letter written on stationery bearing the let
terhead of the Paxton hotel. The letter wss
intended to show how he happened to have
the checks. He said he got them after
banking hours Saturday. The letter was
signed by Blackburn. The bartender was
suspicious and called Officer Cunningham.
As soon as the officer appeared Toomey
began to run, and when called on to halt
drew a gun. The officer fired at the man's
feet and he replied by shooting at Cunning
ham. The pursuit was kept up and the man
caught, after which he threw away his
weapon. The two checks were examined
at the station and indicated that they were
made out and signed by the same person
whe had countersigned them. A blank
check was found In Toomey's pocket which
was Identical with the two he had at
tempted -to pass. He was held as a sus
picious character pending a more rigid in
vestigation. NEBRASKA ENTERS CONTEST

A Jndlelons Inquiry.
A well known traveling mar. who visits
the drug trade says he has ' often heard
druggists Inquire of customers who asked
for a cough medicine whether It was
wanted for a child or for an adult, and It
for a child they almost invariably recom
mended Chamberlain's" Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they know
there Is no danger from it and that it al
ways cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it and for coughs, colds and
croup it is unsurpassed.

Going To Bed Hungry.
It Is All Wrong and flan Is the Only
' Creature That Doss It.
The complete emptiness of the stomach
during sleep adds greatly to the amount
of emaciation, sleeplessness and general
weakness so orten met witn. There is a
perpetual change of tissues in the body,
sleeping or waking, and ths supply of
nourishment ought to be somewhat con
tinuous, and food taken Just before re
tiring adds more tissue than is destroyed,
and Increased weight and vigor is the re
sult. Dr. W. T. Cathell says: "All animals
except man eat before sleep and there is no
reason in Nature why man should form the
exception to ths rule."
If people who are thin, nervous and
sleepless would take a light lunch of bread
and milk or oatmeal and cream aad al the
1 ,ame " "rrn,M" ,,omMI
remedy like Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets in
order to aid the stomach In digesting it, the
result will be a surprising increass In
weight, strength and general vigor. The only
drawback has been that thin, nervous, dys
peptic people cannot digest and assimilate
wholesome food at night or any other
time. For such It Is absolutely necbssary
to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they will digest the food, no matter how
weak the stomach niay be, nourishing the
body and resting the stuuiach at ths same
time.
Dr. . 8tevenson says: "I depend almost
entirely upon Stuart's Dypcjla Tablets
In treating indigestion, because It Is not a
quack nostrum, and I know Just what
they contain, a combination of vegetable
essences, pure pepsin. They cure Dyspep
sia and stomach troubles, because they
can't help but cure." Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists everywhere
at 60 cents per package. They are in
losenge form, pleasant to take, and contain
nothing but pure pepslu, vegetable essen
ces and bismuth, scientifically compounded.
Your druggist will tell you lhy give uni
versal satisfaction.

INDIAN BORES INTO WEALTH
Oaapsw Lifts His Tribe Not Only
Morally nnd Mentally, bnt
Financially.
"W. A. Abrams," said E. T. McCarthy
of Baxter Springs, Mo., who was stopping
at the Millard, "Is the name of one of the
Quapaw Indians, whose reservation Is Just
over the line In Indian Territory. He,
more than any other man, has assisted In
making his tribe enlightened and Inde
pendent. Contrary to our notions of the
'untamable' savage, these tribesmen have
adopted most of the ways of civilization.
Abrams was a New York Indian, who
came west and was adopted Into the tribe
of the Quapaws about twenty-five years
ago. Since then he has become their
leading man. It was through his Influence
that, in 1S96, the government ratified the
apportionment of the tribal lands to the
individuals. The division gave to each
member of the tribe 240 acres of the finest
prairie lands of the west. It is a beauti
ful, rolling surface, and up to two years
ago given entirely to the production of
corn and grain. The tribe receives no
rations from the government, and has
proved that it can take care of Itself.
These Indians do not live on the land,
as might be supposed, but In houses, and
comfortable ones, scattered along the
banks of Spring river. Their farm lands
are leased to white men who are willing
to live on the prairie lands. The Indians
don't like the open prairie. It Is In their
agreement with the government that they
shall not dispose of Ihelr holdings before
1920. It is thought they will be wise enough
by that time to cling to their property.
Two years ago Abrams did his tribe a
most remarkable service. He is one of
the few men of the tribe who attends to
his own farm. At that tlms he was sink
ing a well to accommodate his stock, and
at a depth of seventy-five feet he struck
a rich vein of lead and sine ores. This
was the first Intimation that such wealth
existed in that section. The vein did not
reach the surface anywhere, and but for
this accidental discovery might never have
been Investigated. It turned out to be
fifteen feet In thickness and spreads over
an undetermined area. Enough has been
developed so that I predict this region
will rank with Joplln. Mo., within a few
years.
"Abrams holds several sections of land
In the heart of this district and has al
ready leased large portions to mining com
panies, and it may interest the people of
Omaha to know that 120,000 of Omaha
capital is Invested there.
"These Indians are lucky. Indeed, There
are ten or twelve mining companies on the
ground besides many prospectors, so the
once unbroken cornfields are now dotted
with mining camps. Here and there the
body of a large mill and shaft house looms
up. Royalties amounting to many thou
sands will pour Into the pockets of the
Quapaws every year. The water of
Bprlng river will soon be giving 70,000 horse
power, conserved in the tqrm of electrical
energy."
WGINN'S FUNERAL MONDAY
Victim f Stra Death Will Be Lnld
I Rest from St. Phllomenn's
Cathedral.
The funeral services for Frank J. McGinn,
who died Friday morning at St. Joseph's
hospital, will be held at St. Philomena's

Mr. McGinn was born In Pittsburg May 28,
IMS, and came to Omaha In 1H78 with his
father. John McGinn. He entered Crelgh-
ton university as soon as It was founded
and was a student there until 1888, when
having finished his education he went to
work for the Union Pacific as a messenger.
During his twenty years of faithful service
there hs was gradually advanced until, at
the time of his death, he was chief way
bill clerk, having charge of the billing
of all freight forwarded from Omaha by
the various roads that use the Union Pa
cific station.
The pallbearers at ths funeral will be
foup of Mr. McGinn's office mates. Messra
Fltspatrlck, Garvey, Gentleman and Luts,
and two of his university classmates, E. J.
McVann and John M. Mullen. A pathetlo
Incident In connection with this funeral Is
the fact that George McGinn, on of two
surviving brothers, la at Clarksvllla, Tsnn.,
under quarantine, and will be unable to
obtain a release in time to attend ths
services.
Mr. McGinn never married. Hs lived a
quiet, lonely lift. Though residing In
Omaha for thirty-two years, when h fell
within a block or two of where he had
worked for twenty years of all the people
who hastened to his assistance there was
not ons who knew hint. Tet he had hosts
of friends, and staunch ones, too.
