TRAITS OF CHARACTER AND TURN OF MIND Kindly aad Considerate, With laMei Ible Honesty of Parpose and a Faith la nod to the Very Had. Chancellor K. Bor.janiln Andrews of the University of Nebraska filled one of the numbers of the Calvary Baptist church entertainment course last night with a lec ture on Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Andrews saw Mr. Lincoln twice, and on one of those occu.lnit talked with him, a thing he said he oomdilpred one of the rare privileges of his life, since the great majority of people living today never saw the great president. By way of Introduction to his consideration of the character and works of Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Andrews gave his heart is a gllnip.xc of the martyr president a lie taw him. "I was with McClellan In Virginia lir the cninpnlgn of 1W:'," said Dr. Andrews. "One night we citine no near Richmond, and I am sorry to say It was thirty -ears before 1 ciime thaj near again, that we could hear the iIoks bark nnd the bells ring. We seemed almont to have the city then, but the very next day we began to. think of retreat, and the next night we- were re treating. . Two lUni ot Lincoln. "It was above Harrison's landing, on the Jamrs river, that we stopped, and to this place President Lincoln came to review the army. He and McClollan rode side by ldc, and It was a rare sight lb note tlif t'Obtraai between the awkward civilian and the ttmutith riding ttoldler. Lincoln bounced so llinl had It nut licuu for his extreme length of leg and his weight of foot he undoubtedly would have been thrown off. Vet for all his awkwardness and apparent discomfort, he did not forget to look kindly at the soldiers and doft Ms hat from time to time. "The second time I saw Lincoln was when I, u lleutcnaul In the army, made my way to the White House, seeking an appointment to West Point. I shall never forget the kindness with which that noble man, busy with the duties, of office and worn with the cares of war, received me, nor shall I forget the consideration he showed me on my comparatively selfish errand. He took my name and promised to see Stanton, though it finally turned out there was ho chance for ma to get to West Point at that time. "The room In which Lincoln sat war filled with books, piles ot them on the right and on the left. What caught my attention more than anything else was a large map of the United States on the wall, drawn to a scale and showing the seat of "war. Without leaving his chair. Mr. Lincoln could scan the map and note the location of each army and the point from which each dispatch came. Though I had studied the geography of -the country, I never had a thoroughly comprehensive Idea of the theater of war until I looked at that map.". . Anecdotes of Lincoln. How Lincoln visited a slave market when on a trip down tha Mississippi river, and how an Impression was made on him whfeh determined his attitude On slavery was told by Dr. Andrews. It was wRh groat' satisfaction that he told the story, related to him by Schuyler Colfax, of Lin coln's methods In a lawsuit. ..When ths attorney "for the other -side" would say "First, wa Intend to prove," Lincoln would say "We admit it." "Second, wo Intend to prove," Lincoln would say "We admit It. When the opposition reached, perhaps, the sixth count, Lincoln would say "There we moke contention.' We intend to disprove It." Through such action he always had the Jury with him, for the Jurymen rea soned that tho man must bt honest who would admit so many things without argu ment. Dr. Andrews described the debate be tween Lincoln " and Stephen - A- Douglas, invincible until he met the rail splitter, telling how Lincoln asked a Question and forced Douglas to answer It,, by tho answer destroying forever hla hopes for tho presidency. That question was whether or not Nebraska should be made a free state If the majority of the people wanted It a free state. To satisfy his own Idea of right and to satisfy the northern dem ocrats, Douglas had to answer In the af firmative, and the answer being a deroga tion' of the Dred Scott declxtoiv "damned Douglas In the south," to use the' words of Lincoln. Thus Lincoln dethroned Dong las, after many o( his friends had advised him not to be- so foolish as to meet the "Little Giant" In debate. Douglas had the floor first, and 'was so masterful, so decisive, so comprehensive, Lincoln's friends were sure there was nothing left for him to say. Warrior and statesman. Speaking of Lincoln as a military leader, Dr. Andrewa declared that never In history, either under Alexander, Napoleon or Turenne, was a war fought through with such perfect grand strategy as was the civil war. Speaking of his diplomacy, Dr. Andrews gave Lincoln credit, together with tho prince consort of England, for averting war between tne two nations over tne seizure of the British ship Trent by the United States. IJncnln softened Seward's message to the British government by cut ting out words which would have meant nothing else but war. "I want to say a word about Lincoln's faith In God and his prophetic vision," said Dr. Andrews in closing. "This Is told by Or ncr 1 Sickles, and It happened, when Lincoln came to see Sickles lrf the hospital after the battle of Gettysburg. He said to tha wounded soldier: 'Sickles, when I found there was about to be a battle ai Gettysburg, I got down on my knees and said, "Hod. I've done all I can do. and con gress has done all it can do. Now, God, If You want this country saved. You have got to do It." .And when I rose I felt sure wo would win the battle. I now have news In my heart that we have won a victory at Vieksburg as great as the one at Qettys burg.' " curb CCXSTIPAT13H BlUOUSXESS AX3 HEADACHE nuM actsral huMtiaaa ' T ft T tHM.

WC.'AI II CLUB 1X8 CK1&1TT An Important step, and one significant of the tendency of opinion among club women regarding the relative Importance of the state and district federations, was taken by the clubs of the Third district of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs at their third annual convention held at Mad ison Wednesday, In the recommendation to the state convention that the district fed eration bo made permanent organisation. The district vice president Is elected by the state convention and Is the only permanent officer of the district. Upon her devolves the task of arranging district programs, extending club Interest and club work and working up the annual meeting of the dis trict clubs. These meetings, since their in stitution three years ago, have been merely councils regarding club work and programs on the various lines of interest. In view of the proposed amendment to the con stitution of the state federation to come before the next convention providing for a biennial Instead of an annual state meet ing, the women generally feel that the dis trict organisation and Its annual convention must be made stronger. Coming from the Third district, the recommendation for the permanent organization will . carry niucli weight, as that Is one of the largest and most Influential districts of the state. The convention was one of the best at tended and most profitable that has been held this year, fifteen towns being repre sented. The round table, conducted by Mrs. H. M. Bushuell of Lincoln, whs generally participated in, the women not only evin cing a lively Interest In state work, btU a gratifying understanding of It as well. The advantages to etubs through direct repre sentation In the general federation, as well as through the state organization, were discussed. Mrs. H. I Keefe, district vice president, recommended that all clubs. In making helr year's program, leave at least one meeting open for the consideration of the special subjects requested by the state or general federation. The necessity of carefullv prepared and complete reports of state and national meet ings to clubs by their delegates was em phasized by Mrs. Bushnell. Any club wotnan could afford to pay a per capita tax of cents to the state and 10 cents to the national for all the benefits the individual club derlv from such affiliation, even If that club woman never attended one of the conventions. The necessity of library exten sion and tho value of tho state traveling library to the remote and smaller districts of the state was Indicated In tha club re ports, many of the clubs having started libraries, many more contributing to their support, and still others asking advice and suggestions on how and what to do to secure them. Many plans such as only women can devise to this end were reported. A book social, at which the price of ad mission was one good book, afforded the start In one town, while pathetic Instances were related of the struggle and the efforts that had secured the box of books from the state traveling library commission for the beginning at other places. Tho pla.ee of meeting for next year was not decided upon, although invitations were extended from Stanton and Albion. Thurs day morning's program was brief, short presentations of library work and" the' work of the- Consumers' league, with a brief talk from the chairman, being given. .Tho visit ing women were entertained In the hospit able homes ot Madison, and luncheon and dinner were served Wednesday bv the women of tha Methodist church, A brief Informal reception in the church ' parlors following, each session eliminated tho neces sity of even a change of gown and af forded ample and pleasing opportunity for the women to become acquainted, with the result that the Madison convention will be long remembered by those who attended. OUR LETTEI SQL A Bensonlan Jefferson Ian. VALLEY, Neb., April 25.-To the Editor of The Bee: I have Just finished reading the leading article In today's World-Herald that mouthpiece for the modern Judases, whe, like the Esau of old, would sell the city s moral and spiritual welfare for the pottage of trade. It looks to me like a verification of "God moves In a mysterious way. hla wonders to perform," for out of the mouth of his enemies has come the Information the people wanted to know: What manner of man Is Benson. It has placed before the people of Omaha In whoVe minds the epidemic of crime through which the city has Just passed Is still fresh Its solemnly stated opinion that Ben son would use his authority and Influence to remove the cause of the crimes. In Its own columns, In reporting the trial of Jay O'Hearn, It stated that "drink ing" and "saloon" were the worde most frequently met in the testimony. Can It be possible that It la now upholding' tha conditions that caused this unhappy fact? Shortsighted World-Herald! Its article Is the biggest advertisement Benson could have. The Bee might have screamed until It was (figuratively) red In the face, with less promising results. Benson no longer appears as "republican candidate for mayor," but the champion of clean muni cipal government and a cleansed criminal docket. ' The people of Omaha have had a lesson. They want the city streets to be safe for unarmed pedestrians; the taxpayers' bur den lessened by the diminution of criminal prosecution, the cost of which is . now enormous, and they want clean municipal government by officials who have the whole city's welfare at heart, and not simply the moneyed Interests. ' My ancestors vo'. d for Thomas Jefferson, and their sons followed the example, but If Benson Is the man described In today's World-Herald, Oodspced Benson. H R. AG EE. Statement of tno Doctor. OMAHA. April 36-To the Editor of The Bee: There seems to be a tendency on the part of the public to misinterpret your ar ticle ot recent Issue relative to the case of Mrs. Bennett on North Sixteenth street. It Is a fact I was called to see her, also that I insisted on her Immediate re moval to some hospital. Their finances were very' limited and yet they positively lefused to accept accommodation at the county hospital. I made several efforts to secure a bed In some chsrlty ward, but fafled, and so telephoned her son, adding that t would gladly give my services If the hospital expenses were met. The health commissioner was notified an hour after I saw ths patient and promised to assume charge of the case, hence my reason for not returulng. I regret exceedingly the unfortunate In cldent, yet I teol the family Is entirely to blame for tbelr Indifference to the patient and refusing assistance at the county hos pltal, when they have been, so I am told. county charges on several occasions. That the police were not notified until 1:M p. m. was In no way my fault. My responsibility ceased as soon as the health oftlce was Informed of the case and this was done at 10 a. m. STl'ART B.

Henrietta Crosmon and company in "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," a comedy In three acts; adapted front the French by Eugene W. Presby. The cast: Horace Belmore, a man ot alTali Acltllm.il Pitt Mi. Relmore, his wife, who whs Helen Merlvale Dallas Tyl-.r Violet Merlvale, Mrs.v Belmore' sister Angela McCnull Mandera, the housekeeper Kate Jepsnn James, the butler ...John Marble Mr. Thsddeus Brown, an enthusiast William Herbert Ml Dorothy, his sister Alice Butler Algv. his ward Joseph H. Orsyblll Herbert Danvers Boyd Putnam Hobbs. his man C. A. Chand M.iry . Miss Crosman "M.try, Mary, Quite Contrary" once hud a considerable vogoe as "A Scrap of Pik- per," originally "The Milliner's Bill." and was then as now deservedly popular. In making his arrangement Mr. Presby ha barely disturbed the dust that had accu mulated on the original, without altering It In any of Its attractive features. It was thoroughly enjoyed last night by the rather meagre audience that assembled at the Boyd to welcome Miss Crosman and the clever player folk who are making the tour with her. Miss Crbsman Is one of the most accomp lished comedienne and brings to whatever part she undertakes a carefulness of method and a certainty of accomplishment that assures her success if such a thing be possible. She Is devoid ot that bane of modern acting, mannerisms, and enter with a est and earnestness on the por trayal of whatever chsracter she assumes. A certain nervousnes of manner Is her only distinguishing mark but even this var ies with the woman she presents, so that It is really more of the role than of the actor. In her present play she Is the sim ple, straightforward woman endowed plent eously with common sense and supported by a keen sense of the ridiculous as well a 8 of propriety. In one of her scenes with Mr. Putnam In the second act she treats us to the purest comedy, but other are marred by a. tendency to the farcical. Es pecially Is this true of the scene In this act with Mr. Pitt. Over It all. though, is the Charm of the clever woman, who by her thoroughness and capacity, make a rather indifferent role a most amusing one. Mr. Putnam most ably seconds Miss Cros man's efforts and gives to the quality of the comedyta distinct flavor. Mr. Pitt' conception of the role of the Jealous hus band 1 rather broad and the same Is true of Mr. Herbert's Idea of Professor Brown. Miss Tyler Is good as the wife. Other In the cast are worthy of the roles they have. "Mury, Mary, Quite Contrary" will he at the Boyd for the rest of the week, with a matinee on Saturday nnd Is certainly worthy of more liberal patronage than was bestowed' on It last night.

John De Renville Moore, otherwise and more familiarly known as "Pony," for a number of years a newspaper and theatri cal man of Omaha, died at Phoenix, Ariz., Thursday morning. He had gone to the southwest to benefit his health, as he was a sufferer ' from tuberculosis for several year. In Omsha "Pony" was on the staffs of both The Bee and the World Herald, later becoming press agent for the Boyd theatre and. still later for the Orpheum. He was trained Into newspapor work at Chicago, where he attracted some attention as po lice reporter. After a few years he struck farther west, doing special work for sev eral papers. Ho then took up newspaper work In the Black Hills Just before coming to Omaha. For two years he was Ak-Sr-Ben carnival manager here. Then he went to the Philippine and when he returned brought with him an exhibition for the Greater American exhibition here, which collection he also took to Buffalo.

The Truest Guaranty of Merit. 0"J to KTKRTorT Is tha fullest Information as to the properties and uses of the several Ingredients entering Into Dr. Pierce' tamllr medicines. Not only sre all the Ingredient printod In plain Knillsh on each bottle wrapper, but a little book of extracts from numerous standard authorities of all the different schools of medical practice, extolling these several Ingrotilents and giving tlieir properties and uses, has been, compiled by I)r. R. V. Pierre, and will be mailed free by htm to the address ot any one sending a postal card or letter to him, at Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting a copy of the same. In this war the afflicted, who may think favorably of using these non-secret medicines, are taken into Dr. Pierce's fnll confidence and are informed as to the properties and uses of each ot tha several vegetable Ingredients of which they are composed. Thoi you do not hare to rely upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation alone as to tho marvelous curative properties possessed by his "Golden Medical Discovery" for tho euro of weak stomachs, dyspepsia. ' torpid liver, ot biliousness. Impure blood and kindred ailments, nor of his "Favor It Prescription" for the cure of weak, nerrons, invalid women, for you have In addition the strongest kind of endorse ment of each and every Ingredient enter ing into the composition of these world famed medicines br numerous leading medical writer of the several schools of practice. In fact nothing which Doctor Pierce has ever aaid in recommendation of these medicines Is qnlte so strong and landatory of their merit aa what has Indirectly been said of them through the numerous unqualified endorsements and recommendation of each of their several Ingredients by the leading writers on JMnfertri Medicn. Of course these endorsements were written from entirely disinterested mo tives and are therefore the more valu able. They were written to Instruct medical practitioners in tne properties and osea of the several Ingredients which enter Into Doctor Pierce's medicines, the writers not being aware that they were extolling and endorsing ingredi ents which are used In these medicines. Hence the great value of these highest possible endorsements, coming, as they So, from leaders of the medical profes ilon In the matter of Materia Jtfedloa. i Among the well-known authorities will be found Drs. Bartholow, Hare, Johnson, Wood, King, Scudder, Hale, Coe, Elllng wood and manv others. The Ingredients are all Indigenous, or native, medicinal roots. Dr. Pierce be lieves that medicine can cure disease only ai it assists Nature to overcome the abnormal or diseased conditions. For thus assisting Nature In throwing off dlsoaae, Dr. Pierce believes the best and onlv real remedies are to be found In Nature's Laboratory. In the roots of medicinal plants found In this country, Providence has stored up most valuable, active, curative principles, which, when scientifically extracted and combined In lust the rlffht proportions, as In Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, are most effective In curing a long list of chronic or lingering ana most obstinate diseases. In chronic, bronchial, throat and lung affections, accompanied with hoarseness or loss of voice, cough, profuse expecto ration and even bleeding from lungs, , Golden Medical Discovery" has proven a sovereign remeay. In eases of weak stomach. Indigestion, dyspepsia, ulceration of stomach or bowels, torpid liver, or biliousness, the f Golden Medical Discovery" has never (been excelled as a tonic and Invlgorator Iwhlch puts the affected organs "In tune" land enaDies tnem to perioral ineir proper functions. It purines and enriches the PROGRESS Of THE CAMPAIGN Those Hot Hegistersd Must jBs Saturday or Lose Franchise. PROHIBITION BOGIE DOES NOT WORK Real Kstnte Men Hold Meeting; and Decide on Certain Plana to Promote Interests ot Benson. An enthusiastic meeting of forty ot the leading real estate dealers of the city wa held Thursday noon In the Commercial club rooms In the interest ot the election of E. A. Benson as mayor of Omaha. The meeting had been called by C. C. George and the forty who responded raised $220 In less than two minutes. This money will be used In legitimate ways in bringing out the people to register Saturday, that being the only day on which those not already registered can do so. A committee, consisting of C. C. George, C. P. Harrison, W. L. Selby and J. Wi Rabbins, was appointed to aid in promoting the campaign. The meeting was nonpar tisan, many democrats being present, who expressed themselves as being anxious to get out and work for Benson and good government- Another meeting has been called for tha same place Friday noon, at which time the committee will report on it plan. Th member spoke in no uncertain terms ot the necessity of making Benson' election sure and the members all pledged themselves to get right out and work. Saturday will be the only time for un registered voters to qualify to vote at the city election May 1, and no special registra tion made since last fall will count. Unless a man was registered laat fall on one of the regular days and atlll live In the same ward and precinct ha will have to get the records brought up to date Saturday. . The registrar will sit from S in the morning until I o'clock at night at the place named for polling booth election day. If a man ha moved cut of hi precinct or ward since the last registration he must first go to his pld precinct and get a certificate from the registration board and then present It to the board tn the precinct In which he Is how residing. Extraordinary efforts are being made by the republicans to get out tbe 6,000 or ,000 republican not registered. AH member of the party are requested to assist In tho work and set aa many on the track to the voting machine Tuesday a possible. City Clerk Elbourn will keep his office open from until 12 o'clock Sunday to re ceive tho registration books. They will be wrapped immediately and prepared for aendlng back to the precincts for use by the election boards. Th prohibition bogle, raised by the demo cratic organ in the municipal political fight. ha not scared anyone and the republican manager ar not at all worried. "Anyone at all "familiar with the condl tlons locally and in Nebraska," says on of th republican leaders, "knows that the liquor laws will not be affected In any way by the outcome Of the city election In Omaha. It la characteristic of a campaign of misrepresentation, however, to top it oft with assertions that Benson' election would give the prohibitionist hope and tart them going on what might be a suc cessful campaign to put tr,e saloon out ot business all over the state. The cry wa raised principally for the ear of the bus lne man, but be ha failed to tak notice, for hi common sense tell hira that It I a false one, smacking of the "wolf," "wolf cry of the Individual who would despoil the flock."

Health Is a heritage too sacred to be trifled with In that way. Take only Medicines ot Known Composition those made after formulas so choice that the makers take you fully Into their con fidence and feel that thev can afford to tell you just what yon are using when you employ their medicines. Dr. Pierce never believed ft neressery, or sdvlsahl to use alcohol In the prep aration of either his "Favorite Prescrip tion" for weak women, or his "Golden Medical Discovery." the well - known al terative tonic, which Is so largely uaed as a remedy for Indigestion, torpta ltver, bad blood and kindred ailments. Over forty years ago, he discovered that chem ically pure, trlple-reflned glycerine Is a far better solvent of most of the active principles residing In our native medicinal plants when used at a proper and sus tained temperature than ta alcohol; and, furthermore, he found that a glyceric extract kept much better than an alco holic one, and that tbs glycerine pos sessed Intrinsic remedial value, being de mulcent, nutritive and an effective, anti septic and antlferment. Although cost ing somewhat more. Dr. Pierce predicts that glyceric medicinal extracts will, In the not distant future, largely replace alcoholic ones so generally prescribed by physicians and put out by proprietary or patent medlolne manufacturer, aa being more efficient and entirely free from the serious objection ot making Inebriates when used in lingering or chronic cases, where a somewhat pro tracted use of medicine is necessary no matter how good or well adapted to the case It may be In order to obtain per manent results.

It has nothing to do with the prohibition. question, , "In St. Louis no liquor business ha been done on Sunday for some time and th prohibitionist do not seem to have profited very largely. In my opinion, the prohibition ques tion will never bo a vital One in Nebraska again. Iowa and Kansaa have boon v forced to back up on radical liquor lawa and the Illustrations are too near homo to ba afraid of this state trying Any thing like they did. We have local option In Nebraska, the most satisfactory ar rangement for solving the liquor contro versy Invented up to date, and I think the majority of our people are' pretty well aatlsfled to struggle along that way. Benson ha aaid time and again. In a sincere and manly way, that he ha noth ing against the saloon a long as they obey the law." Among the favorite bits of ammunition In the Dahlman magaxlne I the charge that Bonson ha promised the position of trot commissioner to tho present Incumbent, Joe Hummel, and not atopptng there, ha given the same kind of an assurance to others. This, doubtless, wa Inspired by the fact that Hummel J actively sup porting Benson. On this Hummel say: 'No promise have been made to mo to keep me in my place a afreet commis sioner by Mr. Benson or. anyone els. I am doing what I can to alect him, but when It come to a re-appointment, that will rest with whatever power -that be.
