The first speaker wae Nelson C. Pratt, who after a short review of republican principles and their essential application to municipal affairs, spoke of the magnifi cent ticket submitted for the republicans nf Omaha this year nnd the duty of all good citizens to rally to its support.

With the election "f Mr. Benson Omaha will rise high in the estimation of all Its people and the country In general that Is watching this municipal campaign with singular Interest. I believe that Mr. Benson and the entire republican ticket will be elected, but we must not take any chances, but every good citizen must turn out and do his duty and urge hlit neighbor to do so." Benson's Words to Voters. E. A. Benson, republican candidate for mayor, was the next speaker, lie said: Friends and fellow citizens of the First wsrd: I am glad to be here tonight. I come here to talk not to you, but with you, and should any of you wish to ask m ques tions I will try and answer them and will nut he disturbed by suoh Interruption. If I make statements other than the truth 1 want you to correct me. I will not Inten tionally make a misstatement, and would not have the office for which I am now a candidate If 1 had to make misstatements to obtain It. All of my Interests are In Omaha and have been for the last twenty years, and will be for the future. I expect to live and die In Omaha. I would wish to see beautiful Omaha still more beautiful. I believe In the cultivation of chic pride Hnd that we should all stand up for Oinuliu. Civic pride is as valuable an asset for a city as patriotism Is for a nation. Our city elections are more directly lmportHiit to us inau national elections. The municipality Is nearest to lis. We are deeply interested In the collection of municipal tsxes as well as In their Judicious disbursement. I have said that all my interests are here In Omaha, and you have a right to know why I am seeking the oftlce ot mavor. If you do not think that I am the right man, and that I have no Interest In the city, then do not vote for me. I am not seeking the office for the shIhtv connected with It. for, as a matter of fact, in administer ing this office for three years, should 1 be elected, from a money standjHiini It will lie s sacrifice to me. I would like to see uninha made the most beautiful cllv of the 'i u in ry: adorned with numerous small !srks for the recreation of the poorer people who have not the means to take outings. stands for Good Government. I stand on every line of the platform 1 announced during the primary campaign. I land for a clean, moral city. 1 am glad of inn part that I took in the Juvenile court movement.-, and only regret that we had hot done so long ago. The best investment hi humanity., ami the municipality. Is to have the boy and girl. We expend an nually 2.V).v;kI In the prosecution, appre hension nnd punishment of crime. If we would put t-&.iiU0 In small parks and play Kioundtt for children annually. In ten years we would have no criminals. If my record us a c title a la aur.h that you think it would be to your Interest to vote for me, I would lie pleused to have you do so. 1 am unal terably opposed to graft In all Its forum, direct or Indirect. 1 am opposed to ac cepting courtesies from corporations, and to heip boost any man for office In the city or general government for that in dividual's personal gain. I am opposed to the use of the people's money for any other use than for tne good of the wholti people. Any other use of II is criminal. 1 nave been reliably Informed within the last day or two that the sole object of the enemy, the democrats, in this election Is. If successful, to build up a great po litical machine, and to turn that machine inlo the direct purpose of electing a demo cratic senator ami legislature. Every ef lort of the democrats In this campaign Is to t hait end. Are you. therefore, ill favor ot puttinx lie city government of Omaha Into the minds of- such a machine for the elevation nml glorification of any one man? if 'lien of -.No: Xn: Compare the two tickets, uwl see which of them stand for lie best liil' iests nf Omaha, and which o( iheni earrv the unities of men that have been interested in the unbuilding of the iitv and are still actively Identified with i:s' Interests, and then on May 1 cast yuui vote accordingly.

STANDS SQUARELY WHERE HE FIRST STOOD Krpohllcan umtnee for Maor Is Kent Rosy Hen) In; Ahsnrd Stories Circulated for ( a ni ps I n Parposes. Among the charges against Benson that have had their birth In the democratic hot air nursery is one to the effect that tin; republican mayoralty candidate Is privately recanting what he ssld about standing lor the enforcement of the Slocumb law, In cluding Sunday closing of saloons. This statement Is denounced as a falsehood by Mr. Benson In unmeasured terms. Says he: "I stand on every plank and line of my platform before the primary. It was my platform then and It is now. I am Just as much In favor of every part of It todny as I was when I mule it public at Crelgh- ton hall. I nm not going back on the Sun day closing section or any other part of il. So far as Sunday closing Is concerned 1 bo lieve it Is beyond the control of the chief executive under the Slocumb law; that Is to say, if any determined effort Is made for It no mayor can block the way. But I am not promising lirsiiinlty to anyone. and snything you hear of that character you can put down as a He. Kven though 1 wanted to, I have too much self-respect to go bark on my declarations of principles. I would much prefer to lose the office than to sacrifice my self-respect. I can afford to lose the former, but I can't afford to lose the latter." Just to show that It could forget primary differences and line up with the party, the Equal Rights club at a meeting of the cen tral body Monday night endorsed the repub lican municipal thkeKfroin top to bottom. It was done In a manner to be practically unanimous. Mayoralty Candidate Benson, Chairman Jefferls and W. Ernest Johnson, candidate for comptroller, made short talks before the business session was held. With one or two exceptions the npixiint- Ive officers and employes of the city hall are working for the election of Benson and the republican ticket, The street depart ment, the health department, the elevator men and Janitors, and In fact all the forces that control any number of votes at the city hall are out for the republican ticket and out for It hard. During the last few days dozens of votes have been changed by Influences from the city hall, and the work Is still in progress. I have been a public office holder for nine years and I am not going to turn my back on the party now," says City Market Master Oerke. "I want it understood that I am for Benson and the whole republican ticket, and what Is more I want to see it elected." Oerke, who was a defeated couneilmanlc candidate, expressed the feelings of a score, or more of men in similar positions under the city government. The first literary blast has been Issued from the republican city headquarters and Is murked "Bulletin No. 1." After reciting the names of the candidates on the ticket the bulletin reads: Are all good citizens worthy of the support of all voters men whose homes, property nnd business Interests are In Omaha. They are Interested in Omaha's welfare and prosperity. They can be elected. Help do It!

I told him it was and he seemed a good hit surprised. "Well, It's Just a Joke Isn't It?' he Inquired. He said that up his way everybody thought Jim Dahlman's cam paign was Just a big Joke and Hint was all there was to it. They could not con ceive him in the role of mayor of Omaha."

Th fact that 12S persons died recently In one week In New .York City, from heart d I seine, when the death rate the corresponding week in 1904 waa only 56, has given rise to the belief among phy Iclans that New York residents, and American people generally, for that mat ter, are living too rapidly. The strain of business and cares attendant on fierce competition and the worry attendant on anxiety to gain wealth are given as an explanation by physicians of the condi tions which exist to-day. Doctors have established the fact that the nerve forces which control the stom ach and the heart, are affected by th hurry of men in the dally scramble to bolt their food, in order to quickly resume their exciting careers. Many young men now succumb to heart disease, where .V) years ago, a case was rare when a person under 30 years of age died from this malady. Women are also victims. This U at tributed to the manner In which thny -orry over social engagements, also to over-work. Worry and excitement, to gether with many nerve shocks which come to all In their dally life, of btistl and hustle, are the principal causes which snap the heartstrings. We Americans, lioth men and women, are living too fst. We work too hard aud worry to much. How can the strain be best contracted and the damage done, foe quickest repaired? Only by humor ing and assisting the stomach to act In a more healthy manner. Thus will the blood be enriched, the nerves Invigorated and the action of an enfeebled heart trengthened and regulated. Dr. Pierce's (Jolden Medical Discovery contains Just the right Ingredients to do this, as will be seen from what eminent medical authorities say of the different ingre dients composing It.
