principles and their essential application

cent ticket submitted for the republicans

"It is to your Interest as citlsen having
a regard for the welfare of the city," he
said, "to give the republican ticket your
loyal support. It stands Tor all that is
good, business like and for th very best
Interests of Omaha. Its election will mean
sn abolition of crime and an assurance
that wa are not to be left to the mercy
of robbers, highwaymen and thlev.es, either
on the streets when on our way to our
homes or at our homes. 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.

BENSON NAILS MORE FAKES
Repudiates Democrstio Roorback that He
Eat Deserted Hit Platform.
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

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

M. W. Kozmlnskl, western agent for the
French Line of Chicago, received news
from France of the trial trip of the com
pany's new transatlantic liner. La Provence.
The steamer made' twenty-three knots for
five hours between Havre and Cherbourg.
This 1 equivalent to tweuty-slx miles an
hour, and puts La . Pipyence in the iirst
rank of the greyhound oluss.
The new steamer- will sail from New
York for Havre for the first time May 3.
Reports from France are that the ship
marks the extreme limit In modern ship
building, and it is expected its passenger
list on the first voyage eastward will be a
lung and notable one.
The Interior decorations of La Provence
are a reproduction of those In the Palace
of Versailles. The steamer has a roof gar
den, elevators, to carry passengers between
the seven decks, wireless telegraph con
nection with the mainland and safety bell
signals, which make collisions almost Im
possible. Former officers of the French navy will
command the La Provence, and the strict
discipline of the navy will prevail among
the crew, from the captain on the bridge
to the last stoker. Iji Provence has a
double hull and "bilge keels." which make
for steadiness In stormy weather and the
consequent pleasure of the tourlht.

ute to Mr. Clark on the eve of his departure
for Denver, where he will take up his new
labors. For years Mr. Clark has had
charge of the Child Saving Institute In this
city, but 1 to go to a broader field In D li
ver, where he will take charge of the Ju
venile Improvement association. This work
Is national in Its character and scope,
twenty of the leading cities of the country
having already taken up the work, which
Is along the same lines as the Juvenile
court. Judge Llndsey, at present at tlie
head of the Juvenile court In Denver, Is in
terested In the movement. Those Interested
in the plans have hopes of Inducing M.
Rockefeller to become enough Interested In
the work to finance It.
At the reception last night Rev. and Mrs.
A. W. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Clark and
Dr. J. W. Conlcy stood in the receiving lino

How Rapid Life is Killing Our People.
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OP DEATHS RESULT FROM HEART DISEASB.
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. To make the weak
ened stomach strong that It msy prop

prominent ingredient of the " (iolden

article needed. The late Prof. John M.

"It stimulates the digestive processes,
and Increases the assimilation of food.
By these means the blond in rnrirltrtl.
The consequent Improvement
