INDEPENDENTS HAVE INNINT,

to ths Commercial Club.
ASKED TO ACT ON BELL'S PROPOSITION
I Inn Keainrsta Thrill tn Submit
Written tnaurr to Propimnl
Maile hr the ehrasla
Compan.
The liiriVpenilrnt telephone liurrsts of
til" state lmd their inning before the board
of directors of the Commercial chih jeptur
dny sfternoun. Two wo-k sgo the Me
braxka Telephone ruinpsny's end of ths
controversy about Omaha connection with
the Independent toll '.Inrs was heard.
The Independent people cumo In fovea
from both lows and Neliranka, having pres
ent about thirty offlrers, stockholders and
representative. The dlacusKlon beann about
1:! and ended about 3:45. No decisive ac
tion was taken by the hoard beyond re.
quest ins the Independent people to submit
! In wrltltiK a reply lo the proposition offered
by the Nebraska company for Inlerrhang
of business.
F. II. Woods of Lincoln, president of the
Nebraska Independent Telephone associa
tion, who led the talking-, admitted early
that the Independent companies did want
a franchise In Omaha because connection
for them with this city was out of the,
question unless such a grant was secured.
Assertions made by officers .of the Nebraska
Telephone company that the Independent
concerns of the state signed an agreement
at Hastings Inst November to boycott the
former and refuse to interchange business
he denied with emphusls. He slso denounced
officers of t the Nebraska company.
Moat of the speakers took the position
that an Interchange agreement between the
Independent companies and the Bell Inter
ests Is Impossible and out of the question.
Harsh things were said about the city coun
cil of Omaha and much emphasis placed
upon the. business snd prestige which
Omaha Is alleged to be losing to competing
cities because It has no connection with the
Independent telephones In the tributary
country. Mayor Henry R. Oering of Platts
mouth scored the Omaha Commercial elwb
prior to the last two years and said that
until then Omaha had developed In spite of
Itself.
C. M. Wllhelm took exception to the
reflections upon the achievements of ths
club and satd It had accomplished some
thing for Omaha during every one of ths
thirteen years which he had been mem
ber. Retort by Oering.
"I am willing to grant that." said Mayor
Geting. "You have done considerable.
Tou built the Auditorium but you haven't
quite finished it. It may be there are
things left undone and not quite finished
besides that."
Mr. Woods presented figures to show that
there are 623,704 Independent telephones in
the country . surrounding Omaha. This
total was reached by adding 48,704 for the
South Platte country, 10.000 for the North
Platte country. 80.000 for Kansas, 200,000 for
Iowa. 90,000 for Minnesota and 130,000 for
Missouri. In the South Platte country
east of McCook and Including the counties
bijrdrring on the north bank of the Platte,
he said, 43,704 telephones were operated by
the Independent companies, against 13,
by the Bell concern, and In this territory
were only 3,810 Instrument's representing
sub-llcencees of the Bell company. He
said the Independent people now had four
telephones tn use to one by the Bell peo
ple. In Lincoln, he said, the figures were
3,373 . for the Independent against 1.091 for
the Nebraska company, and In Lancaster
county, 4,972 against 4,033.
Questioned as to reasons why the propo
sition of the Nebraska Telephone company
to buy, sell or consolidate exchanges at
competing points as a requisite to entering
into an agreement on toll line business
have not been taken up Mr. Woods said.
this proposition had a string to It to the
I effect that all toll line business be turn..-!
over to the Bell company.
I He said 6.00 Nebrask&ns hod Invested
something like 34.000,000 In the Independent
organisations, which If broken up would
become the creatures of a monopoly.
Aa to Daal System.
In Lincoln there are but 784 duplicate
phones and 6n of these are In business
houses," said Mr. Woods. "The mujority
of business men who huve triad it know
that two instruments are not a nuisance.
Fted Ashton or Grand Island, who was
secretary at the Hastings meeting of In
dependent telephone companies, suld that
the boycott pact, or refusal to exchange
business with the Bell companies, upon
which the officers of the Nebraska Tele
phone company had dilated, was never
adopted by the. meeting In any way, but
nieroly .was mentioned in a paper read
there.
J. E. Baum of the Bennett company said
if the matter had been presented to the
Commercial club as a general understand
ing among the independent companies of
the state the club had been grossly in
sulted by the officers of the Nebraska Tele
phone company. He said if the council
could be Induced to let the people of Omaha
vote on an Independent franchise proposi
tion it would be one of the best things that
ever happened to Omaha.
J. A. Carpenter of the Carpenter Paper
company's house In Kansas City, said the
dual system bad been tried there and that
he now favored it.
Kuclld Martin proposed a reply to the
proposition of the N'l)rska company In
1 writing, and his motion carried after some
further discussion.

Mat tiood Words .for
Uate City.
Mr. A- V. Dresher ot the Drealier Tailor
ing company, who has Just returned from
the east, is highly enthusiastic over the
opinion of Omaha held by prominent busi
ness and financial men who have large
holdings In the west. Mr. Dresher says:
"I am perhaps the only tailor in Omaha
who makes a trip to the east twice a year
to study styles and buy my cloth. Tou see.
by doing this I fan buy cheaper and conse
quently sell lower, besides giving my cus
tomers the benefit of my study of advance
styles. ete
"I huve made these trips for a long while
now and, being a large buyer, have become
quite intimate with many big men in tho
east. They have always had a peculiar
conception of what Omaha Is." said Mr.
Dresher, "and It seemed Impossible to make
them believe Omaha to be the best city
west pf Chicago until this last trip, when I
was not only greeted as a prospective buyer
but there was a peculiar condition which I I
was unable to understand until one by one
they began to praise Omaha and ssk ques
tions concerning our city.
"I think the Jubilee number of The Bee
has had more to do with this feeling than
any other cause I was surprised at the
large number of men who spoke of receiv
ing copies of the edition, and with the es
teem In which they now hold Omaha."

May Jarrett Ssys Leslie Allen Shot Her
Brother Orer the Heart.
TRAGEDY CULMINATION OF A DISPUTE
Prominent 'Inslne
Jury Where Nearo
of Mnrtlrr In
llearee.
Men on the
In ecMed
Flrl
May Jarrett, the principal witness tn the
trial of Leslie Allen for the murder ot
I.ee JarrMt las. December, went on the
stand In district court yesterday afternoon
and told of the tragedy, of which she and
Allen are the only living witnesses. SUe
Is n comely young mulatto woman and
until nlmut the time of the murder she sup.
posed she was the wife of Allen, the de.
fondant. '
SI10 said Allen and her brother had had
some words about 8:30 In the evening about
Allen's treatment of her and because he
spent his money going to "balls." Allen
then left the house snd was gone about
half an hour. In the meantime her brother
helped her peel sweet potatoes for supper
and she placed the open Jackknlfe he had
ben using on the tsble snd he sat down
to write s letter.
When Allen appeared st the door with a
revolver In his hand she said her brother
turned part way around to him and Allen
said:
'.'I'Se. you have mistreated me," snd shot,
the bullet striking her brother Just over
the heart. Jarrett. she said. Jumped up
apd grabbed Allen's hand snd the two
scuffled, Jarrett finally putting Allen Into
a hark mom. He then ran out the front
door and fell on his face dead. She se
cured a revolver she had hid in a couch In
the tront room and followed her brother,
firing three shots In the air to attract at
tention. She declared her brother was sit
ting down when the fatal shot was fired.
The defense Is laying stress on the fact
Miss Jarrett had a revolver and Jarrett a
knife and Is claiming self-defense aa the
reason for the shooting. Dr. Iavender,
who made the examination of the. body,
testified the bullet must have been fired
downward, according: to Its course.
Went Through a Mock Mnrrlage.
She took the stand Immediately
after the opening statementa were
made and stated she had been living with
Allen seventeen months. She sold they
went through a mock marriage ceremony
at Kansas City before a man she supposed
was a Justice of the peace, but Allen after
ward told her they were not married. She
said she had tried to find record of a license
issued In Kansas City to them, but was
unable to find any. She also swore she was
never legally married to Allen.
The testimony of Miss Jarrett, or Mrs.
Allen as the defense contends she should
be called. Is of vital Importance to the
state and on the question whether or not
she testifies probably will rest the convic
tion or acquittal of the defendant.
The defense contends Jarrett, the mur
dered man, was a desperado who had al
ready killed a white man, and was much
larger than Allen and that the accused
used the revolver in self-defense. The state
contends Jarrett was seated In a chair
when he was shot, that as soon as the
shot was fired he Jumped up grabbed a
knife and forced Allen Into a back room of
the house and then ran out Into the street
and dropped dead with the knife still in
his hand. The relations of Allen and Mrs.
Jarrett. it Is said, caused the trouble be
tween them.
At the afternoon session of court Mr. Mae
farland concluded his arguments against
the admission of the testimony of Miss Jar
rett and Judge Sutton Immediately over
ruled the objections, holding the evidence
showed there was no legal marriage be
tween the witness and the defendant and
that she was competent to testify against
Allen.
The case Is being tried by a Jury, a ma
jority of whom are business and profes
sional men of more or less prominence.
Among the Jurors are II. K. Burkett.

Doleful rnnUhmrnt nf the Ancients
Mnpllented In Onr Modern l.lfe.
Ths Koreans used to punish a murderer
by chaining to his body the cotpae ot his
victim. Wherever he went he dragged be
hind him the debris of bis crime, the
sleasy cadaver, revolting thing that was
once a man.
Kvery day you see people dragging
around with them the corpse of their sins.
They can't get away from them. And
many of them have become so Intimate
with these corpses that they become
corpses themselves. The misery ot these
loor unfortunates has become constitu
tional with them. It fits them like an aid
shoe. They have become accustomed to It.
And there are thousands of humans who
are walking the earth today with corpses
attached to them dyspeptic stomachs thejr
can't get rid of. They have to get along
the best they can with the stomachs they
have. And the owners of said dyspeptic
stomachs are to be found In every walk of
life, suffering from some form of Indiges
tion, first cousin to dyspepsia.
They wear that forlorn appearance, their
energy Is at aero, nothing Interests them
and they Interest no one. their faces arn
shrunk, their nerves are wilted and their
shouhWs sng. Are you one of the myriads
who dandle and grstlfy their palates, at
the sacrifice of their stomachs? Are you
one of those who allow their senses to
run riot, eating too much, drinking too
much, eating at the wrong time, eating
the half cooked, the queer and the Impos
sible? Are you bloated sfter eating, and Imaging)
that It la your food that Alls youT Do

or that, rebel nt one ihtnv .1 v.. 1... .
for It, too, st the same time And have
you got a whole lot of other things the
matter with your stomach that you know
about, but nobody else does, snd can't ex
plain? If so. you have dyspepsia, real
dyspepsia. And the chances are you have)
had It a long time.
Totir stomach Is overworked, abused,
fagged out. The gastric and digestive
Juices are weak. The muscles of ths
stomach arn Jaded, and the whole business
needs new life. It needs something which
will take hold of the food as It comes In
and do the dlgeestlng, and let jour stom
ach take a rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do that very
thing. They contain a most powerful in
gredient which helps the stomach In ths
process of digestion, cures dyspepsia, sour
stomach. Indigestion, heart-burn, eructa
tions, acidity or fermentation. They In
vigorate the stomach. Increase the flow ot
gastric Juice, and do two-thirds of what
the stomach would have to do without
them. That gives the stomsch some rest
and a chance to get right again.
You will feel the change first In your
mind and heart and then over your whole
body. You'll feel rosy and sweet. That's
the object. You can get these effective
little tablets almost anywhere on earth for
50c a package.
