Another effort will be made next Saturday night, and in the meantime the contending factions will en deavor to line up their forces so that a full showing of strength may rw made.

He- Hours of balloting-, caucussing, connota tion and conference last night left tho fioard of governors of the Fontanelle club till divided aa to who ihould have the en dorsement of the club for the republican nomination for mayor. When the last of sixteen ballots wss taken It showed a result (he same as the first Benson, 25; Saunders, 19; Broatch. 18. In the executive committee of nine the Vote had been: Benson, 4; Broatca, 3; Saunders, 2. Neither of then votes Is derisive, and the iowers that be in the club will spend Soother week in setting up the pins and fixing things, and on next Saturday night another effort will bo made to name a can didate for the club. Tha Bensonltea went Into the conference last night well organised and determined. They stuck by their candidate from start to finish with no show of weakening, and professed to feel confident at the time ad journment was taken that victory would ultimately be theirs. The flambuoyant an nouncement In the Dally News on Friday evening of the candidacy of Mr. Benson had not the desired effect of stampeding i he Fontanelle braves to his support, while 'the deadlock seemed to Indicate that his carefully nurtured plans had not sufficiently matured. Within a fortnight Mr. Benson had refused to answer certain leading ques Hons, saying he was not a candidate, and did not know that he would be before the people. When he did come out he would announce his platform. How They 1,1 ne I p. , Tom Blackburn, Harry Brome and Harry Burnett have been the chief engineers of the Benson boom, but have met with much opposition In the Fontanelle councils. In deed, some of the membera of the Inner circle have been heard to say that they would be everlastingly jumped up and down If they were going to let Blackburn, Brome and Burnett run things as they bad been trying. R. Beechcr Howell Is num bered in this list, and has pinned his faith to Captain Broatch. with whom he pur poxes to sink or swim. The Broatch men have been battling a hopeless fight for some time past. They have realised the ap parent Impossibility of Broatch being able to land the endorsement, and have sought to break the Benson strength In favor of some other candidate. Many of The members, realizing how dis tasteful Benson is to a large number of the republican voters of the city, on ac count of his bolt of the city convention three years ago, and his effort to secure the office of mayor as an Independent can didate, have demurred at the proposition to endorse him. These have also felt that j Broatch would be very objectionable to a large number of republican voters, and so have put their faith in Saunders. While Saunders Is not popular In the Inner cir cle of the club, he developed much strength In the larger body that must finally pass on the work of the nine wise men who pretend to do the thinking for the Fon tanelle. Indications of a Split It wua predicted last week tha effort to endorse a candidate for mayor would lead to a split in the club, and the developments seem to justify that prediction. No reason exists to belhve that Benson "will abide by the, decision of the club any more than he did by the decision of the republican city convention. Friends of Broatch assert that he will bolt the Fontanelle decision If he does not receive the endorsement. This makes It pretty certain that the fight be tween the three will be carried to tha pri maries and that ttte factions into which the organisation seems to be dividing will have It out there. Much friction was engendered at the meeting last night. Telephone calls and messengers were sent after absentees, and every effort was made to muster up enough vots to make one or the other of the can didates, but without suoceee. Those who Although E. H. Hurrlman had -;iven 11 out that no attempt was to be made in his trip across the country to break a record on land or sea, still the continuous trip was the fastest that whs ever accomplished over the route. The party consisted of Mrs. llartinmn and daughters snd Miss Alice ltoosevelt, and Mr. Harrlman gave Imperative in structions that the safety and comfort of his guests were to be the first considera tion throughout the Journey. A prominent feature of the entire trip waa the careful and uniform manner in which these in structions were carried out on each of the different lines over which the special train sped. Many of the engine drivers felt a keen disappointment that they were not permitted to let out the Iron monsters which were hitched to the train in its trip across the country. It would have been mere child's play for some of these rein deers to have added many miles an hour to the schedule which was maintained. In spite of the way that the engines were held back, the time from Yokohama to New Tork, thirteen and three-quarters days, Is considered a remarkable achieve ment.

'WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 This White House outruge is a burning shame, and a national disgrace." So said Dr. Minor Morris, husband of Mrs. Morris, who was forcibly removed from the executive offices Thursday last and taken to the house of detention. Dr. Morris arrived here early today and found his wife still confined to her bed, suffering from nervous shock, hut much improved. He was indignant, but was guarded In his statements as to what he proposed to do. Mrs. Morris' condition was such that she waa permitted to receive newspaper men In her room, where she and Dr. Morris dis cussed with them the story of her father's will, which had brought on an estrange ment between Mrs. Morris and her brosaer, Representative Hull, and wtilch has led to much personal bitterness, crimination and recrimination. According to Dr. Morris, he was removed from the surgeon general's office tm charges filed by Representative Hull at a lime when Mis. Morris was about to proceed to Pueblo, Colo., to get at certain facts per taining to the will which, she alleged, hud not been made to appear In the case. Wanted an In realisation.

The mention of sulphur will recall te many of ua the early days when our moth ers and grandmothers gava us our dally dosa of sulphur and molasses every spring uud faU. It was the universal spring and -fall blood purifier," tonic and cure-ell, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy waa not without merit. The idea was good, but tha remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity lied to be taken to get any effect. Nowadaya we get all tha beneficial affects of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated form, so that a single grain Is far mora effective than a tablespoonful of tha crude auipaur. In racant year, research and experiment nave proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores under tha name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers, Tfcay are smalt chocolate-coated pellets and contain tha active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly concentrated, effective form. w people are aware of tha value of thie farm of sulphur In restoring and maintain lng bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on tha liver and excretory organa and purifies and enriches tha blood by tha prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this whan they doed ua with aulphur and molaasea every spring and fall, but tha crudity and Im purity of ordinary flowers of aulphur were often worse than tha dlseaae, and cannot compare with tha modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart Calcium Wafera la undoubtedly tha best and most widely used. They are the natural antldotea for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify tha blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Pr. R. M. WUkina, while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that tha aulphur from Calcium waa superior to any other form. Ha says: 'Tor liver, kidney aad blood troubles, especially when result ing from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at tha resulta obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly area them dry up and disappear In four or live daye. leaving the skin clear and smooth Although Stuart's Calcium Wafera Is a pro. lirtrUry article, and sold by drugglsta, and for ib:t rviaon tabooed by many phyal dans, yet I know of nothing sa safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles; ar.d especially in all forms of skin disease, as this remedy." At any rata people who are tired of pi lis, cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers' will Bad is Stuart's Caleluin Wafera a far afar, Basra palatable and effective pre para ties. Charles Norrls, up stairs of 1715'St. Mary's avenue, attempted his life Saturday after noon by drinking chloroform after brooding several days over the humiliation of the arrest of his wife, Sadie Norrls, at a dance at Creighton hall last Thursday evening. Norrls was attended by Dr. Hirschmnnn and Police Surgeon Morsman, who arrived In time "to apply effective antidotes. He will recover. Mrs. Norrls and her mother rent rooms at the number mentioned. Norrls was yardmaster at a South Omaha cooper shop for two years, quitting his position a week ago. Last Thursday Mrs. Norris attended dance at Creighton hall, where she met Miss Amy Canfleld, who lived at the Nor ris apartments and who, according to the Norris woman's story, told the roomers Btorles about Mrs. Norrls. When the latter met the Canfleld woman at the dance she referred to the alleged slander, which waa resented by Miss Canfleld with a slap. Officer Wooldrldge, who waa on duty at tha dance, put the women out of the hall. and then the women renewed the trouble on tha street, both being arrested by the officer for disturbing the peace by fighting. Mrs. Norrls furnished a cash bond of 19, while Miss Canfleld gave 12 for her ap pearance, tout both bonds were forfeited in court Saturday morning as tho parties did not appear for trial. Mrs. Norris said Saturday afternoon that her arrest was followed with trouble be tween herself and husband, who look to terests. there. drinking Saturday morning. About I p and her husband had exhausted their et forts to have the then secretary of war. Root, and other officials of the War de partment take action. In view of their re fusal to act, Dr. Morris said, the presi dent was the only person left to whom such an appeal could be made. What he I desired, he added, was a vindication of the charges tiled by his brother-in-law rather than a reinstatement. Acting on the advice of friends, it Is probable that Dr. Morris will address a letter to the president urging him to In vestigate not only the charges against him, hut also certain officers of the War de partment who are alleged to have per mitted themselves to be improperly Influ enced In his case. "I do not desire a reinstatement to my position," he said, "but I do want these charges looked Into. They are unjust and false. "According to my present determination I feel that so far as the treatment of Mrs. Morris is concerned I will take no action, believing that the sympathetic let ters and telegrams which have been re ceived from friends an strangers from all parts of the country, as well as the attitude of many newspapers on the sub ject, have accomplished more than could be done If a protest were to be made to the president." Reply by Mr. Hall. Representative J. A. T. Hull of Iowa, whoso sister, Mrs. Minor Morris, was ejected from the White House on Thursday, made a statement today concerning his troubles with Mrs. Morris. At the time Mrs. Morris was removed from the White House she was endeavoring to see President Roosevelt that she might have her husband reinstated as a clerk in the War depart ment, and in Interviews she nnd her hus band have charged that Mr. Hull was re sponsible for Dr. Morris' removal. The statement opens: The deplorable events of the past two days seem to render it necessary for me to make a statement. In the beginning I de sire to bespeak the kindly consideration of the public lor the members of my family prominently connected with the unfortunate atTair. 1 cannot believe the public specially Inteiwsled in the domestic difficulties of anyone and greatly deplore the necessity for making any statement whatever. 1 cer tainly would not say or do anything which would unnecessarily reflect on my sister and ask those who may read what I have to say to cast the mantle of charity over all of us. The trouble began on the death of my father and lias been continuous since. It is charged that I violated the provisions of his will. That I failed to file a codicil to tho will. And I understand it. is further charged that I forged part of the will. These are very serious charges, and If true 1 would not be entitled to even associate with decent people. This charge was made at first in January, 11X12, and I will take the matter up In the order In which It has come Into my life. My father left mo executor of the estste without bonds. He gave me envelopes pur porting to be, first. Ills will; second, a cod icil thereto, executed more than a year after the first paper was placed in my hands. On the deatn or my father I forwarded the same lo the probate Judge at Pueblo, Colo. both the will and the codicil and sup posed both were properly filed.

Burglara secured booty of greater value during their Saturday night depredations than any other night netted them slncu they became active a wetk ago. The house breakings have all been In neighborhoods which are not, as a rule, thoroughly po liced, and tha houses choseu in each ease have been temporarily vacant, the occu pants being out for the evening or a longer period. The greatest loser Saturday nUht was Henry W. Clark, who lives at Wirt street. While the family was absent, burs- lars broke In and thoroughly ransacked the house, taking several articles of jewelry, the total value of which probably amounts to $50. Officer Uinn went to the house as soon as the robbery was reported and secured a list of the goods stolen, but could not find any trace of the men. Another victim was C. D. Van Court, 1'2 Wirt street, whose home was broken Into while no one was at home. Evidences of the intrusion were discovered as soon as the family returned. and It was found that a sealskin coat was missing. C. N. Wherry. 2419 Bpencer street, found that thieves had been In tha houae, when he returned with his family, and Investigation disclosed the absence of 6 In cash and a woman's gold watch. In none of these Instances could anyone be found who had seen any suspic ious characters lurking about, but it is be lieved from tha methods employed that the same parties that have been in such evi dence during the week had a hand In Sat urday night's work.

The statement then reproduces letters from Horton Pope, the judge, saying the codicil was found in a separate envelope and had been overlooked. It also includes a sworn statement from the deputy clerk of Pueblo county, Colorado, which shows that Mr. Hull properly discharged his duty as executor. The statement then continues: Even this did not stop the controversy. My brother, M. A. Hull, and his wife, cared for my father for more than two years. It was understood by all of the children that whatever father left should go to my brother for this care. Knowing how small would be his compensation, I contributed an equal amount for my father's support. I am not eniitled to any credit for this, and only mention it as an explanation of the rhurge filed. He pre sented his claim, charging only 15 a week for support during the time lie cared for father. Afterwards ho reduced the amount to $10 per week. The court allowed the full amount, after It was contested for two years by Mrs. Morris. I did not go to Pueblo and used no effort whatever to influence the court, except the bare state ment of the facts under oath, and the court did not sustain Mrs. Morris. After reproducing the court's findings tho statement concludes: On family matters I cannot enter Into any controversy with others. There are thinrs which come into the lives of families which cause profound sorrow and regret, and the mantle of charily and silence can only make them endurable.

They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution by draining the system of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after ' asother fails. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but in f pite of all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround ing flesh, destroying the tissues and prowing to be a festering, inflamed and angry mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid ii filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment; the most they can do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind it. A cure can be brought about only through a remedy that can change the quality of the blood, and this is what S. S. S. does. It goes to the very bottom of the trouble, drives out the poisons and germs with which it is tilled, ana purines and builds up the entire cir culation. By the use of S. S. S. the sore is supplied with new, rich blood which corrects tbe trouble, soon stops the discharge, and allows the place to heal naturally and permanently. PURELY VEGETABLE.
