WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE COMMITTEE

VVAfcHlNaTON, Mlr?h Ju. - (HuecUI.)
8ntor fclklns today made public a letter
written to Governor A. B. Cummin of
Iowa, In referent to th speech made by
the governor at Fort Dodge, ' when he
opened hla campaign for re-election. In
that Speech Mr. Cummlna took occasion to
severely criticise the senate committee on
Interstate commerce and to live the Im
pression that ha wa met with a hostile re
ception when he appeared before the com
mittee aa a witness, Senator Elklna quotea
largely from- the published report of the
testimony given by Oovernor. Cummlna for
the purpose of refuting the charge that the
committee was hostile to the governor, and
then closes hla letter in the following Inn-a-uega:
ftutnmarlslng your evidence, the follow.
Ina aooeara:
The ratns on farm produce from your
state are reasonable and entirely satisfac
tory, and the rata on butter and eggs Is
unreasonably low. The farmer of your
Mfte have nntlilnr to eomnlatn of what
ever. Tou appeared for manufacturer
only. The sagrelrate earnlnjs or the reeds
are reasonable, and. you would be willing
to afford thetn larger returna than J. J.
Hill thinks necessary. Tou would lt their
rresent, Income stand. Tou say that the
Klktns law Is as strong as It la possible to
make It against rebate and special prm
leses to Individuals and to prevent dlscrlm
inatlnna bvtwren localities. I nner this bill
von say that any person aggrieved In any
way can write to the Interstate Commerce
commission, and it then become the duty
of the commission to investigate tne mai
ler and Institute proceedings. If necessary,
to correct the evil, all of which la done
without enpense to the complainant. A
postal Card will set the wheels In motion.
rM the point mill hear the caa summa
rily. Yet thl' law was prepared in the
committee whlcn you marge wun in
famy," and It bears the name of the man
mihom vnu nv Is the same as a railroad
lawyer. It was prepared and enacted with
out the solicitation from any source, and
yet you refer to the senate which first
passed It as a cemetery, a mausoleum, and
threaten to assist In erertlng headstone to
its members. Tou admit It waa the deci
sion of the Interatate Commerce commis
sion that ruined the packing houses of
Iowa, and that If the railroad had been
let alone that Industry would have pros,
pered as It la was prospering at the time
the proceedings were commenced. Tou ad
mit that the law aaalnst rebate and spe
cial privilege would not be strengthened
hr the proposed legislation, and thst there
would be the same temptation on the part
of the rallroada te grant rebate from rate
established by the commission as from
rates eatabllihed tnemseives. .
Resent the Epltkets.
f h.ve no interest In your campaign for
a third term, but I am free to express the
opinion that there are few states where a
man could perpetuate himself In oftice by
maligning one Branch of the general gov
ernn.ent. The I'nited Btatea senate la ex
. reeled to be a deliberative body, and when
that governor of a areat state Impugns the
motives of member of that body, except
the one In whose town he speaks, and ap
plies to them the opprobrious terms "cem
etery" and "maueoieivn," and avowe his
intention to erect headstones to its mem
bers. It is time for some one to ask him
to v mora exollctt. It would be Interest-

CLOTHING COMPANY ENLARGES
Omaha f'lothlan; Company Leases dee-
ail Third Floors la the Adjoin-
1ns; Balldlns;, ISIS Fsrssm
street, and Will Fit lp for
sales Rooms.
Albert Rosenthal, manager of The Omaha
Clothing company, has leased for his com
pany the second and third floors in the ad
Joining building on the west, 1318 Farnain,
which are now occupied by Samuel Burns
crockery store and Is having- them fitted up
for salesrooms for their furniture, carpet,
draperies and ladles' suit departments.
The rooms are being thoroughly over
hauled and three archways wilt be cut In
each wall, thus throwing each floor Into
one large salesroom.
The ladles' suit department will occupy
the second floor, along with the carpet and
drapery department, while the entire third
floor will be used as a display room for the
furniture.
The Omaha Clothing company is an Illus
tration of what 'enterprise and progressive
business methods will do. They began bus
iness under the present management a few
yea.? ago In a very small way, handling
nothing but men's clothing in a small store
room, tn a short time a complete Jtne of
men's el.oes ar.d furnishings was added. A
year or n ore ago their rapidly increasing
business demanded more room and they
moved Into their present quarters, where a
ladies' suit department was added.
Mr. Rosenthal stated that as soon as they
had put In their ladles' department their
trade called for house furnishings and a
stock of furniture, carpets snd draperies
Were put in. He said It seemed to work
this way: "Our customers who traded with
us and had been taking advantage of the
liberal credit plan upon which our store Is
conducted evinced a deBlre of making pur
chases from us in lines of goods we did not
carry; for Instance, If we sold the husband
a suit of clothes, a little later the wife or
daughter would want a suit coat or some
thing. He had an account with us and he
would much prefer to buy here and have
It charged to his account than go elsewhere.
Bo we put In our ladles' department. No
sooner had we done this than we began to
have Inquiries for furniture and house fur
nishings from the women, hence our furni
ture, carpet and drapery departments
While It was our original Intention to only
carry a line of men's clothing and furnish
Ings, It seems as though we have been re
quired to put In the different departments
from time to time In order to supply the
wishes of oar customers, and to!ay I can
say that we have one of the most complete
and up-to-date stores in the west, where
our people can make their own selection In
wearing: apparel for every member of the
family, or furnish their home complete from
the parlor to the kitchen. Have their pur
chases charged and pay us on the easiest
terms obtainable."
Mr. Rosenthal, who is buyer as well as
manager for the company, Just recently
returned from an extended tour of the east
ern markets, where he has been for the past
seven weeks buying for the different depart
ments of his establishment.

That City Treasurer Hennings' campaign
for the mayoralty nomination Is making
good headway la becoming plainer every
day and is now supported by the report
that both the Benson and Broatch man
agers are preparing onslaughts upon Hen
nings. One story that has come to the
friends of Hennings Is that a circular is
to be sprung attacking Hennings "for
having gone on a bond for Tom Dennlson."
The sum and substance of the charge Is
found In the tact that Hennings as tress
urer has been culled upon regularly to
sign all appeal bonds for official cases to
which any city officer is a party, and when
the suit was brought to compel the mayor
and chief of police to close the Diamond
pool room. Involving the question to what
extent the court would Interfere by man
damus with the executive authority In the
enforcement of the police regulations, the
appeal bond for Mayor Moores and Chief
of Police Donahuo were taken to Hennings,
like all other official appeal bonds, and
signed by him as a matter of course.
"The other candidates must be getting
scared," declared one of the city hall men
not over friendly to Hennings on hearing
the story, "or they wouldn't pick up any
thing like that. If llcnnjngs had refused
to sign appeal bonds for city officials they
probably would have Jumped onto hlin Just
as hard. If they try to spring this thing
they will surely make a fiasco of It."
City Attorney Brecn and City Clerk El
bourn luive agreed that It is necessary for
a naturalized citlsen to have taken out his
first papers at least thirty days before
primary day In order to be specially regis
tered for that event. This Is displeasing
to Councilman Dyball and others who have
some new voters lined up who cannot qual
ify according to this ruling. The ruling Is
made on the theory that the primary Is
In a legal sense an official election. The at
torney and clerk agroo also that a man
must reach the age of 21 before primary
day In order to get an affidavit of special
registration. The clerk announced Tuesday
he proposed to enforce these decisions to
the- letter.
An appeal was made to disregard the de
mand of the law for a physician's certifi
cate in cases where sickness on all three
of the last registration days Is pleaded
but without avail. The elector Involved
was a blind man, who claimed to have been
too poor to hire medical aid, but who waa
willing to produce evidence that he had
been confined to his home. City Attorney
Breen ruled that he could not bo specially
registered without tho certificate.
At noon Tuesday three republicans and
two democrats had sworn In their regis
tration and twenty-six republicans and
three democrats had procured removal cer
tificates.
Nasty little stories are going the rounds
about money offered by councilmanlo can
didates to competitors to withdraw. Some
of these reports have a definite and un
pleasant aspect and many persons are
straining themselves to get evidence to
prove them. The Dodge law makes It
misdemeanor punishable by a fine of from
1100 to 8300 or imprisonment from sixty
days to one year for, the offering to accept
or. receiving vajuabje confederations,, ..not
only for withdrawing but for. remaining
out of the contest or coming in. One of the
tales in circulation mentions the small
sum of 850. Another Ingredient in the mess
is the preparation of affidavits with what
is alleged to be a serious but not criminal
defense. This document may not bo sprung,
as It Is said, to have been founded on
false conception of governing facts.
The Broatch crowd has not altogether
given up the Idea of throwing the doors
wldo open 'and letting anything that looks
like a citizen get a whack at the primaries
In as many precinct .s he pleases. Mon
day evening lawyers representing Broatch
Interests hald a conference with City At
torney Breen on the subject and made him
exhibit his line of reasoning by which he
hits concluded that nonreglstered voters
cannot participate In the primaries. Mr,
Breen explained that the Dodge law had
not attempted to repeal the Van Dusen
primary law except in so far as the latter
conflicted with It; and that the supremo
court decision In the Drexel case blotted
out all sections of the Dodge law relating
to registration, and leaving nothing not
harmonious with tho old primary law.
Still another weir,d and marvelous coun
cilmanlo slate hns had good cardboard and
printers' Ink dissipated upon It. This slate
comes In nice pocket size and is said to be

arrived in a body, .marshaled by Bob
Houghton, Billy Crutohfleld, leading
light at the Midway saloon, and other
Broatch lieutenants. Residents owning
property and favorable to the Broatch
cause were on hand and the negroes were
sworn In as rapidly as possible. Old real

ored population there were unable to rec
ognlze the majority of faces present"'!. Tho
affidavits made are open to public scrutiny
and Investigation likely will be made of tho
actual qualifications of many of the ne
groes. At S o'clock a total of about 100
applications had been made for special
registration by affidavit."
The bile of the Bensonites had a manl
festatlon Tuesday afternoon, when John
T. Cathers, who was forced by Hennings
to pay his personal taxes, filed a protest
with Comptroller Lobeck against paying
the wages of the tax collectors In Treas
urer Hennlng's office. Mr. Cathers said, In
writing:
OMAHA. March. 2). 1H0H--Dear Sir:
hereby protest against your Issuing war-
wit: rrea Anderson, Freo. ricnammei, J. B.
Van Glider, Peter Kiewls, B. T. Morris
and G. M. Swigart for salaries for the
month of March, !!, for the reason that
tney are not wnrKina- ror tne city or ren
derlng any service of value Ohereto. but
are doing political work for A. H. Hen
nlngs, candidate for mayor, which Is no
benefit to the city of Omaha.
To which Mr. Honnlngs replied, verbally:
I nave seen tne protest by Cathers and
declare It without foundation. My tax
collectors have been pursuing their work
Just the same as usual. 'It is no more than
natural that when they meet a man on
the street and chance tcFtiave a word with
him that they should Are my candidacy
They are Undef orders slid bonds 'to work
for the city and I befleve' they are doing
so. The records' show -lhat In some months
collections are more difficult than In others,
but this Is no criterion of the efforts by
the collectors of my office.

It cannot be proven or made to stick."

Clarence Uathricht pleads guilty and
Harrison Clark and Calvin Wain or Warren
not guilty to the murder of Edward Flury,
the conductor on th Walnut Hlll-Albrlght
street car line, the morning of March I.
Clark. Wain and' Oathrlght were token

der In the first degree and, on the- second
count, murder while committing a robbery.
Clark and Wain pleaded not guilts in firm
voices and Gathrlght, after a moment's
hesitation, entered ttje plea of guilty. AH

ination and the mittimus was at once made
out committing them to the county JaJI
without ball, to awatt their trial at the
pleasure bf the district court.
Clark and Wain were brought In from
Lincoln by Chief Briggs and Captain
Shields, arriving on the 10:00 a. m., train.
Detective Elsfelder brought Clarence Gath
rlght from Fremont. After the arraign
ment. Chief Briggs and County Attorney
Blabaugh, who was present and read the
arraignment against the thre men, took
Gathrlght Into the chief's office where they
reviewed the evidence of his confession
together. After the lnlervlcw the attorney
said several new features had been de
veloped, which had strengthened the case
of the state materially, but that he did not
care to dicuss the evidence. He said:
Return te Lincoln.
"Vou may say the prisoners have been
arraigned and all of them waived nrell-
mlnary hearing. They will be returned to
Lincoln to await trial. The evidence In

Of all three captives, Gathrlght appeared
to be the most disturbed In mind during
the reading of the arraignment. He stood
like a hunted animal at the side of the
chief, with, his eyes wandering in all di
rections. The other two looked sullen
and a little worried, but with no evidence
of agitation. ' Clark frowned slightly wh;n
Gathrlght was stood up next to them. After
being returned to the cell Clark and Wain
soon began to v sing. They managed to
quaver through one song which sounded
rather tremulous, as from strained nerves.
It was their one attempt at bravado.

"Taking Time
t All observing people most tiave
noticed a r rowing sentiment in this
country In favor of using only put-up
foods and medicines of known com
position. It ia but natural that one
should have some interest in the com
position of that which ha ia expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink
er medicine. This sentiment has re
sulted in the introduction In the legis
latures of many of the tales, a also
In the Congress of the Vnited States,
bills providing for the publication of
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods pat
tap for general consumption,
t Reeognixing this growing disposition
on the part of the publio generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
can only add to the well-earned repu
tation of his proprietary medicines.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
has "taken time by the forelock," a it
were, and la publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, a full and com
plete list of all the ingredient entering
into his medioines, "Golden Medical
Discovery," the popular liver invigor
ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and
heart regulator; also of his "Favorite
Proscription " for weak, over-worked,
broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in
valid women.
This bold and ont-spoken movement
en the part of lr. Pierce, has, by
showing exactly what his well-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore on justly attacked them. A
little pamphlet haa been compiled,
(ram the standard medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice,
showing the strongest endorsement by
leading medical writers of the Several
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which Dr. Pierce'e medi
cines are advised. A copy of this little
booklet la mailed free to any one desiring
to learn more concerning'the Valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of Dr. Pierce's
medicines. A request, by postal card
or letter, addressed to Dr. R. V. Tierce,
Buffalo, N. Y., will bring thia little
booklet by return poet. It tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the mak
ing of Dr. Pierce'a famous medioines.
, This striking departure of Dr. Pierce
from the usual course pursued by the
manufacturers of proprietary medi
cines, at once takes his medioines out
of the class generally known aa
"patent" or secret medicines, neither
of which term ia at all applicable to
them, aa their formula now appears
on the wrapper of every bottle leaving

plants, such as he emplovs exclusively
In manufacturing his medicines.
Home of these medicinal root have,
sine Dr. Pierce first commenced to ns
them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This w especially troe of
Golden Seal root, which enters ir.to
both the Doctor's "Golden Medical
Discovery" and his "Favorite Prescrip
tion." It now brings upward of $1.&0
a pound, although formerly selling at '
from 13 to 20 cents a pound Many
tons of this roost valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From"0rganio Medicines," by Grover
Coe, M. D.. of New York, we extract
the following concerning Ilvdrastia
(Golden Seal root), which enters largely,
as w have already stated, into the com
position of both "Golden Medical Dis
covery" and "Favorite Prescription."
Dr. Coe says: "Hydrastis exercise an
especial influence over mucoua sur
faces. It action In this respect li so
manifest that the indications for It em
ployment cannot be mistaken. (Hence
the efficiency of "Golden Medical Dis
covery," which is rich ia Golden Seal
root, In all catarrhal affections, no mat
ter in what part of the system located.)
Upon the liver it acta with equal cer
tainty and efficacy. Aa a cholagngn
(liver invigorafor), it. has few equals.
Also in scrofula, glandular diseases
generally, cutaneous eruptions, indi
gestion, debility, diarrhoea, and con
stipation." Doctor Coe continues: "Hydrastis
! Golden Seal root), haa been success
uliy employed in the cure of Isucor
rboea. It is of singular efficacy when that
complaint is complicated with hepatic
i liver) aberration (derangement). Hy
raatis is also of inestimable value in
the treatment of chronio derangements
of the liver. It seems to exercise an
especial influence over the portal vein
and hepatic (liver) structure generally,
resolving (dissolving) biliary deposits,
removing obstructions, promoting se
cretion, and giving tone, to the various
functions. It it eminently cholagofju
(liver acceloraior) , and may be relied
upon with confidence for the relief of
hepatio (liver) torpor. It promotes di
gestion and assimilation, obviates con
stipation, and gives tone to the depu
rating (cleansing) functions generally."
Dr. Coe further says: "We wonld
here add, that our experience hat de
monstrated Hydrastis to be a valu
able remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis,
and other affections of the . respiratory
organs."
After reading' the foregoing extract
who can doubt the great efficacy, in a
long list of diseases, of "Golden Med
ical Discovery," one of the principal
ingredient of which is Golden Seal
root (Hydrastis)? And thia applies .
with equal force to Doctor Pierce'a
Favorite Prescription for Weak, worn
