We glory in achievement ' To work and work with might and main, good food u absolutely essential. Although nearly every one eats soda crackers sometime, yet there are a few people who do not consider their true value as an article of daily food. But it is now a recognized and established fact that the soda cracker contains the most tissue, fat and muscle forming elements of any article of food made from flour. Great as is the value of the common soda cracker, yet it ( is small in comparison with Uneeda Biscuit the most - wonderful soda cracker ever baked, and of which nearly 1 - 400,900,000 packages have been sold. Uneeda DISCUltf tbe food of power, transmitting as they do the elements so vital to our well-being, may in very r truth be called "The Dynamo of the. American People. NATIONAL BISCUIT.

U la clear the Mgitit gainer of all, however, will be the postal department of the government. It Iwlng- estimated that somewhere between to.000 and 110,000 will be expended oh stamps to . tarry political literature through the jualle. ,',..' ',..' Anticipating the fashion of this kind of an appoal at east two establishments have been opened for the purpose of supplying classified lists of addressed envelopes for ilin use of candidates.-' Provision is made for envelope supplies tor all parties and all wards and, .preclpcts and , a .candidate may buy as many or as few-aa he oliaoses.'' For additional 'compensation stamp will 'be a-f-tlzed and the manual labor and mailing at tended to. Even the. preparation of this printed matter will be attended to it paid for.,. '(lie addresses are' taken from the last registration lists. An Inspection of these bureaus makes It look as thought a corner had been secured on the envelope market. Young women and boys are employed to do the clerical work and many an honest penny Is being turnrd In this wise. One of the bureaus has already prepared eight complete sets ut addressed envelopes tor every registered voter. ; . It is now apparent that most of th dccumentiry matter Is bdlng savid for dis tribution a few days before the primaries. Then there promises to be let loose on the helpless public such an avalanche of -adroitly worded appeals and counter ap peals! not to speak of attacks and roor backs, such as the cltisens of Omaha have ntver known before. The Indications are that every house in town will receive enough printed matter to light the fires, cover the pantry shelves and line the car pels for a year to come. A conscientious son of the people who tries to digest all that corr.es to. Mm stands a good show of winding up In a madhouse, according to the , Indications now apparent. O. C .Patterson, a well known real estate man and recently a candidate on the demo cratic legislative ticket, has made a verbal protest with City Clerk Klbourn against permitting the names of non-freeholders going on the primary ballots. Mr. Patter son contends the charter provision requir ing councilmrn to own realty. In the city extends to their official candidacy tor the position. The city clerk told him. If he wished to have his objections seriously con-ifli-red he mini rile them In writing. This It. Patterson has not yet done. The city olWK holds that he is not rnqulred to pass upon the property-owning unHlltlcatlons of councllmanlo candidates and does not propose to do so until he is satisfied that It Is his duty. Many counellmanlo candidates own no real estate hers and this condition extends to men on all the tickets, slates and sec tions of slates. A comparatively small proportion have titles to lots In Omaha and some few worldly possessions of any sort. Certain of the would-be councilmen are frank in discussing the matter and contend that it is not necessary for them to procure land, under the law, until they are ready to take their seats. They say they do not propose to make unnecessary Investments and when they are successful will be time enough. In the game of simplification by elimina tion Inaugurated by the Dahlman leaders It Is said a few more candidates who have filed for places on the democratic ballot will be Induced to pull out. One of these Is Alvln E. Fatten, who will clear the track for Dan Butler for city clerk, according to expectations. Mr. Patten Is said to be ac ceptable, but not so well known in Omaha as the political managers' should like to hare him. , , Irroatch meetings come as a boon for the hlrsty wherever, hey are held.

Brome and the Fontanelle ticket will mako speeches. In spile of a frigid hall an enthusiastic meeting of the Second Ward Equal Rights club was held last night at Nineteenth and Vinton streets. About fifty were present, among them a number of candidates for the council, who were called on to speak. T. A. Hoi lister then responded to a call for some remarks on the head of the ticket. He spoke of the candidacy of A. H. Hen nings for mayor and declared Mr. Hen nlngs' past record showed hi.it to be a man of honor, integrity and ability, who would give the city a clean business administra tion. He also discussed the other members of the ticket endorsed by .the club. Arrangements were made for another meeting of the club two weeks from last night . In the same hall. The candidates have been Invited to attend and a large meeting Is expected. Ths Second Ward Re publican club will meet next Wednesday night at Turner's hall.

Of Its own accord, he says, tne elevator ascended to a point higher than his head and he stepped into tne open shaft and fell twenty-eight feet. Aanoaaeeraeate of the Theaters The maUnea at the Orpheum today holds forth some good entertainment for the many women who attend these midweek afternoon performances. The bill this week embraces much comedy and is mak- ina an excellent impression. The excel lence Is so distributed and of such varied nature It is hard to say which act Is best "A Message from Mars" will be offered at the Boyd tonight, with David Proctor in the role of Horace Parker, the most selfish man on earth, and Henry J. Hat field in the character of the Martian, who wins Parker over to be one of the most rnrmidemt and aeneroua of men. The story told Is one of absorbing Interest, anri tha moral Is worthy of heed. The enaaaement Is foi the rest of the week. with a matinee' on Saturday. At the Boyd Sunday evening Omaha folks will hava a look at the latest of musical comedies, "The Gingerbread Man," which is more of an extravagansa than' a com edy.

JOSEPH KOSKUBA, THE DEAD MAN Passenger Instantly Killed ldentlBed as Resident of Omaha and Em ploye of t'ndahy Pack, log Hoase. Identification of Joseph koskuba, 1217 Faelflo street, Omaha, as the man in stantly killed In the street csr wreck on South Thirteenth street Tuesday morning. and the death of Miss Freda Hoffman at South Omaha hospital, are tho latest de velopments in the tragic circumstances of that Ill-fated affair. Koskuba was Identified by John Tuma, who now lives at 1111 South Thirteenth street, who stated he and Koskuba lived to gether at the Prague hotel, that he knew the man since January, and that he worked for the Cudahy Packing company. While the name of Koskuba did not appear on the Cudahy payroll, tt explained that names were frequently supplied for the men. Mr. Tuma said he did much writing for Koskuba, who could nolther read or write. Tuma raid the dead man's trunk would besr out his Identification and statements. The Identity of Koskuba was verified yes terday afternoon by the Investigations of G. H. Brewer and the coroner. His pos sessions were found at his room. Among them he had letters from which it is learned the unfortunate man has a family living In Ferguson, Marshall county, la. There are at least two daughters, Mary and Josephine. There are two sons men tioned In the correspondence and his wife, but their names are not mentioned. It ap pears that the family relations of Joseph Koskuba have not been pleasant and that he separated from his family prior to 1903. He went from there to Kansas City and from his correspondence ho had been In dustrious. He bad deeded his eighty-acre farm to his wife at Ferguson prior to leaving the place. He had a deed to some city property in Oklahoma City. He was a Bohemian by blrthr though he came to America from Austria. He came to Omaha about January 1 and has since been em ployed as a car repairer at Armour A Co.'s. This accounts for the fact that his name was not found on the lists of the Cudahy Packing company. ' A number of sympathising friends of Freda Hoffman called at the undertaking parlors last night. Most of (hem were from the Bemls Bag company, where Miss Hoffman had been employed. Of the four men who are fatally Injured now at the hospital, Richard Wennlund and T. EI Peterson were much worse last night at S o'clock and their death was momen tarily expected. Not the slightest hope was held out of the other two, William Rlcht and Ieo McGulre. The' nurse In charge said they might live for a day or two longer, but their Injuries would carry them off sooner or later. Mary Abraham is lying at the St. Joseph hospital In a most precarious condition.- Miss Katie Tobler was found to be much more seriously hurt" 'than was thought Tuesday morning.

Miss Hoffman1 Is Dead Miss Freda Hoffman, the young woman whose chest was crushed, both arms broken and -who suffered from a concussion of the bruin, died at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning t the South Omaha hospital. There was little hope for her from the first. She was the daughter of Chris Hoffman, a black smith who resides at Nineteenth and Jack son streets. South Omaha. She was 19 years of age and was employed In the blanket room at the Bemls Bag factory. It had been her custom to take the first morning car to Omaha, but on Tuesday morning she missed the first car and took one of the ill fated cars.

NEBRASKA WILL 00 FOR HEADQUARTERS Managers Adjourn Their Deliberations Without Action Looking; to the Selection of Another state s National Hone, The national headquarters of the Wood men of the World remain In Omaha. The enecutlve council of the Woodmen of the World has adjourned and no final or definite action looking toward moving of the headquarters from Omaha was taken. Provision was made for . the appointment at a time not specified, of a committee to investigate the laws of the various states on all matters pertaining to removal. This committee. It is said, will teport back to the executive council at the regular meet ing May, which will be the first meeting of the council unless something unforeseen demands that the council be convened ear lier, when a special meeting will be called. In speaking of the status of affairs of the order John T. Yates, sovereign clerk, said: 'Much will depend upon developments between now and then. We think we see daylight in this.matter, so no removal will be necessary, especially with the support of the citizens of Nebraska. Every mem ber of the council feels Omaha has acted nobly in the matter and done all possible to help In our dilemma and each wishes me to express his appreciation for it. All declare they have the best of feeling toward Omaha and its citizens." Actio First Taken. When the annual meeting of the Wood men was held at Chattanooga last year the executive .council, was directed to move the headquarters from Omaha if the courts decided the reserve .fund should be taxed. When the attorneys of the order heard the decision in the Highlander case was to go against them it was decided to call the council together that all might understatnd tha situation. The council has been In Omaha for a week hearing from delegations from other states end also from Omaha and the final decision seems to be that Omaha Is Just as good a place as any and that Nebraska will treat the Woodmen just as fairly as It -would any other order. As the committee on securing a new location is not to report back until May and the new tax will be levied April L all question of present removal of the headquarters is dune away with. Sovereign Commander Root expressed the determina tion last week to be out of Nebraska "pack and package" before April V, In order to escape the Imposition of the tax of $75,000 on the reserve fund, but the council has decided on a more deliberate course.
