If your tenth r not sensitive, and you experience no pain whiU they are being filled, almost any reliable dentist In the city. South Omaha, -or The Bluff, can attend to your needs very readily, for they all do excellent work. But, on the other hand. If your teeth are sensitive and the instruments used In filling cause a sharp pain, I am about your only choice, for I have a complete system of painlessness in dentistry. Not only do 1 fill and crown teeth without pain, but I remove pulps ("nerves") alive In a few minutes without hurting you in the least. I substantiate what 1 say in my advertisements.

Judge Kennedy yesterday refused to give S divorce to- Mrs. Emily Schuchardt on her petition, but granted the decree to her husband. Edmund Schuchardt, on hie cross-petition.- ' ha cave the custody of the fifteen-year-old daurhter to the father un til further order of the court with tha un derstanding he was to keep her In a Cath olic school. Mr. Schuchardt stated on the stand that he was a Lutheran and his wife was s member of the Mormon church, but both of them agreed to the daughter going to a Catholic school. The peculiar feature of the case is that Mrs. Schuchardt secured a divorce by de fault about year ago and two days later went to Council BlufTs and married Charles P. Deutgtnann, a nephew of her husband. Her husband Immediately secured a decree setting aside the divorce and she was In the unusual position of having two hus bands. There la question now that the divorce Is granted whether her marriage with Deutxmann is legal or not. Judge Kennedy has gr-nted decree of divorce to Fred Morane mho charged his wife. Rhuhami, with desertion since Jan uary l, 90l. They were married In L- cygne, Kansas. May 2. 1901.

LAND CASES TRIEP"IN MAY rb la ike ladlratlon oit, Few ar Trials Italic at Pres ent Sasslaa. It Is proluible few or no trials of the land fencing cases will be held at the present adjourned term of tha federal courts. But much is promisod for at the May term, both by the federal grand Jury and the courts. The land cases now on the dockets sre largely under old Indictments and many of these possibly will be dropped altogether because of the disappearance of witnesses. However, several Important cases will come before the grand Jury, In the matter of the procurement of fraudulent filings on lands within the ranch enclosures. A great mass of affidavits already haa been secured In these cases by the secret service agents and additional evidence is coming in daily in the form of affidavits, copies of warranty deeds made to the ranch company from these fraudulent filings, showing an aston ishing degree of perjury and subornation of perjury. In some Instances as high as $MK have been paid for these deeds and the entire transaction is almost identically similar with that developed In the Ware trial. These affidavits reveal a practice in the acquirement of title to vast areas of public lands of the widest extent, with a decided preference for soldier filings, particularly Spanish-American war soldiers In Ne braska.

KIERSTEAD NAMES SIMERAL AND CATHERS peers) Maklaa Ends aoa Afterward I Meanings Kaocker la ta llied to Attead o More Meet lags. Seventy-live me'nbers of the Fifth Ward Equal Rights club were treated Monday night to some edifying arguments on why and why not City Treasurer Hennings should be elected mayor of Omaha. The chief debaters were W. I. Klerslead and John Coffey, who, upon Investigation, was found to be a democrat, so registered last fall. Coffey opened up the fireworks by a vig orous denunciation of Mannings and a se vere rebuke of the club. "Why, this man Hennings is nut fit to be mayor. He is not fit to be city treas urer. What kind of a treasurer has he made? He has been talked of so much as a vigilant enforcer of law because he levied on property to compel payment of taxes. But he never levied on any prop erty except that of a poor man. No one ever heard of him levying on a lawyer's property to compel the payment of taxes." That was when things got good. It was at that Juncture that Ivieretead shied his castor into the ring. Now, during the day It fell to the lot of Mr. Kief stead to be riding on the hind end of the same street car with K. W. Sinicral, lawyer. And Mr. Simeral was engaged in one of tils cus tomary rear-end political speeches, loudly denouncing City Treasurer Hennings aa being unfit for mayor. Klerstead, not being certain of a thought which presented Itself to him while Simeral was declaiming, kept quiet, but at the first opportunity he ked City Treasurer Ileunings if lie ever had had any trouble with E. W. Simeral. Trouble? ell, I snouid say so," re plied Hennings. "I had to levy on tlia worth of Slmcral's office fixtures and books for payment of taxes he owed the city." "I thought so," said Klerslead. So when Mr. Coffey, in his thrilling pero ration, came to those burning words, "No one ever heard of him levying on the property of a lawyer to compel the pay ment of taxes," Mr. Klerstead arose. "I beg pardon for interrupting," he said, "but I must take issue with the gentle man on that point. I am prepared to say that Mr. Hennings, as city treasurer, has levied for taxes on the property of at least two lawyers, E. W. Simeral and John T. Gathers." Mr. Coffey evidently had concluded his remarks when Klerstead arose. Then Mr. Klerstead added a word oV two. Another member of the club arose to ask Mr. Coffey If he was not a democrat, anyway. "Yes. I am." said Coffey. "Then what did you thrust yourself upon this club for?" The secretary of the club was instructed to send Mr. Coffey a notice of dismissal at once. ea one man. but since the withdrawal of Mr. Smith from the race the meeting was practically a Jollification ovr the foie cssted nomination of James Dahlman. W. C. Bullard was called to the chair and he called upon representatives lrotn each ward to tell of the situation as It existed and to make recommendations for future action. All vouched for their loy alty to Mr. Dahlman and all spoke for a strong counctlmanic . ticket, a tilt h would be a great help to Mr. Dahlman In Lis campaign. Mr. Dahlman was called upon and ex pressed surprise at the large attendance, saying he expected to see about fifteen democrats out. He added: "If I understand the purpose of this meeting it Is to get the rank and file to gether, and then go into the wards and precincts to select tbe best committeemen possible. I said over my signature I would call the leaders and candidates together to make a platform, and I will do that and will stand by that platform. I never made a promise in my life I did not carry out, and I consider each man on the ticket haa as much right to assist in making the platform as the head of the ticket. If you give me K per cent of the democratic vote of this city I will walk Into the office on the hill. All we have to do is to get together. We have had factions, but all are now ready to unite, bury the hatchet and get behind the ticket. I would like to ask why a democrat cannot support me. I always go into a fight thinking I will win, and 1. don't think I will show any white feather in this fight. When this wss first suggested to me I had no idea of running, but I had ten men spend three days getting the sentiment of the people and then I decided to run. i now 1 am gaining strength all the time. We will hare a good organisation, and hether we win or lose we will present a united front to the enemy." Mr. Dahlman met with an enthusiastic reception after his declaration and was ollowed by other sneakers for democracy. Including John Power. Tom Flynn. Dr. S. R. Patten, W. T. Canada. Louis Piattl. John Murphy. E. P. Ben-yman. W. S. Shoe maker, Ed Rothery and others. At a well attended meeting of the Fourth Ward Equal Rights club last evening a new candidate, for councilman from the Fourth ward was brought out by the en dorsement of Charles M. Bachman by an lmost unanimous vote. Mr. Bachman Is an old resident of the ward and served wo years as Juntice of the peace. He will probably file today for a place on the offi cial primary ballot.

Smoke coming from room 18, occupied by Joseph O'Brien and a companion at the Metropolitan lodging house. 133 Douglas street, attracted tbe attention of Night Clerk H. W. Crosby at o'clock last night. He entered the room and found the men asleep, and after awakening them turned In an alarm of fire. The bed clothes In the room had caught fire, probably from a cUaiet. and spread so the firemen worked for half an hour before they had it ex tinguished. The loss from the flames, which were on the third floor of the build ing, will be slight, but the entire building waa thoroughly flooded with water, some of It spreading to an adjoining lodging house. The second and third floors were occupied by the Metropolitan house, of which Samuel Ravlti is proprietor, and the first floor by the Metropolitan Chinese restaurant, which was flooded. The build ing Is the property of Blivins. White a- Kennedy, of Spokane. Washington. The loss Is fully covered by Insurance. APOPLEXY KILLS F. TANDY Sara la Fladlaa of Dr. W. K. Lavender aad Asalataata by aa Aatopsy. An autopsy held yesterday afternoon by Dr. W. R. Lavender and Police Surgeons Morsman and Willis showed that Frank Tandy died of apoplexy. An Inquest was held after the autopsy had been performed and the Jury returned a verdict In accord ance with the finding of the surgeons. Tandy was a colored waiter who lived at 1X3 Howard street with his wife and is found in a critical condition early yesierday morning at Thirteenth and Doug las streets. He died within an hour after being taken to the police station for treat ment.

Tbe operations being made near tbe brain have caused some appre hensions, but Dr. Gifford was very hopeful yesterday regarding the recovery of the patient. ( - Mias Fooa is one of the three oldest living principals in point of aervte In the Omaha Public schools and has a large circle of frieoda ( The club took no final action on the se lection of a counclllnanic candidate, but decided to do so at the meeting next Mon day night. A plan was agreed to, in which President Dave Christie will partici pate, to leave the choice to a secret ballot of tbo members of the club, there be ing three candidates, Redman, Stone and Wlikrrson. The man receiving the highest number of votes after the first ballot. when the low man shall drop out, will be the man endorsed. Notice to all the 166 members and 100 applicants have been sent but to attend this meeting. The meetings are held at Sixteenth and Locust streets. Incidentally, the endorsement of Hennings for mayor and Elbourn for city clerk by the Central Federation of Clubs was veri fied Monday night. There is a well defined rumor that V. L. Chucoviuh, one of the king gambler of Denver and a partner of Tom Dennlson, has come to Omaha to lend a hand in the Broatch campaign. "Chuck," as he is fa millarly known, is the man in whose name the old Diamond pool room waa run when It was reopened a few years ago and is credited with being the man who squared up Tom Dennlson with Broatch. "Chuck" was in conference Monday with Dennlson and Broatch. He went up to the city hall "for the meeting of the police board, but waited downstairs until tbe meeting adjourned. He then repaired to the Budmelser saloon, where another con ference of the Broatch political captains was held. It developed tbe altered partial slate vouched for by a democrat leador Monday Is Imperfect in ways more than one. Dr, Elmer R. Porter, who was accredited with the endorsement for the councilrianic noml nation from the Seventh wfd declares he Is neither a democrat nor a resident of thst wsrd and he hopes no further unauthorised liberties will be taken with his name. City Clerk W. H. Elbourn filed his appll cation Tuesday for a place on the repub lican primary ballot for re-election. Scorn ing the regular printed forms which h bad prepared and desiring to be unique and extraordinary, Mr. Elbourn had hi certificate written out entirely in red Ink and signed it with writing fluid of the same hue. Other filings were: Ernest S. Holmes, councilman. Eighth ward, repub lican; Thomas II. Dalley, councilman, Fifth ward, democrat; Fred Rockenhouse, committeeman. First precinct of the Fifth ward, republican; Ed Oardipec, committee man. Fourth precinct of Tenth ward, re publican; James Griffen, committeeman Fourth precinct of Fourth ward, democrat C. E. Kelpin, committeeman. Third pre cinct of Sixth ward, democrat; Dan T Custer, committeeman. Fourth precinct of Thli-d wsrd, democrat; William tie lien committeeman. Third precinct of Fifth ward, democrat. The Broatch bunch has opened headquar ters in two large rooms on the second floor of the I'nlon block on Fifteenth street. The quarters are within a few yards of Colonel Jim Dahlman's and are much more elabo rate than those of the democratic candidate In many ways. On the street the liiforma tion mas cheerfully bandied about that the barrel had arrived and the time was deemed opportune for establishing a habitat for the cask and its contents. As yet. horn-ever, the Broatch headquarters do not possess much semblance of an actively operated rash account. A desk, couch and several chairs complete tbe equipment so far moved In. Bob Houghton end one other individual were the only spectators present. It has not been given out who is to be in chaige or at what hours expense money msy be obtained.

This Is the Colonial Septette" in "An Old Tymu Halloween," which will be a decidedly ap propriate attraction at the special Wash ington's birthday matinee on Thursday. The scenes are laid in old Virginia and -the talented musicians wear the costumes of Washington's time. The Burglar's Daughter," a new modern play by Owen Davis is the attraction booked at the Krug theater matinee and night only on Thursday. February 22. It is clean whqlesome play, that appeals to every human being. The story is true to life and the characters are of the every day type. It is full of thrilling situations and sensational climaxes and the construc tion is clear and consistent. The beautiful scenery showing New Tort harbor and the marvelous rescue of the blind girl by Meg, the heroine, who Jumps from tbe suspension bridge to a fast running' trolley car. is something to be remembered. The com pany ia a first class one and the fact that the Vance and Sullivan company are man aging the organisation is sufficient guaran tee of its high standard. To My Repabllcaa Friends.

Louis Kasuiussen, one of the twele men who set Pat Crowe free and one of the four Crowe Jurors who received letters or dering them to leave the city within a certain time or take the consequences, :'s on another Jury. He was passed by both state and defense yesterday afternoon an Judge Sutton's court In the rase of Michael Enrtght, charged with holding up. a saloon keeper In South Omaha. Charles M. Tracv, another Crowe Juror, wa passed by th defense, but expelled by the slate. On the ground the public mind is in flamed on account of the verdict in the Crowe case, the attorneys for Michael En right, the defendant in a criminal case before the district court, sought to secure a continuance of the hearing in his case Tuesday morning. Newspaper clippings giving expressions of opinion, both editorially and in quotitlons from others, were read In court for the purpose of showing a prejudice against all persons charged with crime exists in Omaha and vicinity. After listening to arguments Judge Sutton refused to grant the continuance. In doing so he said it was possible the Jurors in the Crowe case might want to "square themselves in the public nlnd by bringing In a verdict of guilty, but he did not think this influence would extend to other members of the panel. He gave the defense the right to challenge for cause any of the Jurors who sat on the Crowe case, should they be called, and promised they would be ex cused If the defense so desired, for no other reason than the fact they served on tbe Crowe Jury. Moeh Crime of Late. The affidavit, which was signed by En right, set forth the fact there has been an unusual amount of crime in Omaha and South Omaha recently and public opinion has been worked up on account of it. The verdict in the Crowe case, It continues, so Inflamed public opinion that Jurors would hardly dare bring in verdicts of not guilty. It calls attention to the action by the Woman's club and also to the fact that certain Jurors have received threatening letters. In his remarks on the affidavit Mr. Fleharty, attorney for Enright, declared no man had a right to criticise a Jury for Its action. Even though they might have been actuated by the hiphest motives, he said, the Crowe Jurors could not help but blush for shame when they read what is said of thm in the public prints. Mr. Murdock, in reply, said no one was exempt from criticism, not even a Juror, if he does things which the general public condemns. Because the Crone verdict met with con demnation was no reason, he held, -why the courts should disband and go out of business. He ssid he was willing to ex cuse Crowe Jurors and had made a proposi tion to that effect to the defendant's at torney Monday. County Attorney Bla bs ugh also discussed the motion along the same lines. Holding- lp of alooa. Enright is charged with holding up a saloon belonging to Adam Burkls In South Omaha on Novamber 14 and securing fflo in cash. John Berry is a co-defendant with him. but on motion of the state the trials will be hod separately over the pro tests of the defense. It is charged Berry and Enright went into Burkis' saloon and locked him In tho Ice box at the point of a gun while they rifled the money drawer. In spite of the fears expressed by th attorneys for the defense they did not object to the two Crowe Jurors who wer called to the Jury box. The two Jurors were Louis Rasmussen and Charles M. Tiacy. The defence passed both of them for cause, but the state used Its last per emptory challenge to strike Tracy's name from the list. The defense waived its last two challenges. Rasmussen was left on the Jury. He Is one of the members who received the threatening letters which formed one of the grounds for the motion for a continuance asked for by the de fense. The Jury was secured about 4 o'clock and after a short recess Adam Burkis, the proprietor of the saloon, was placed ou tbe stand as the first witness. He is i Polander and his evidence had to be given through an interpreter. Ing a tendency to rnrourage further crime. Therefore, be It Resolved. Thst the action of ssid turv dove not express the sentiment of the good cltlsens of tmshs. snd be it further Resolved. Thst the Cmnmerrtal club, rep resenting as It does the commercial Inter ests of this city, desires to say to the world st large thst the verdict of the luiy can onM- he denounced ns a most willful and deliberate miscarriage of Justice arid should be condemned by every law-abiding ritlsen.
