Women Avoid
Operations
Wha a woman Buffering from
female trouble U told that an oper
ation U necessary, It, of eourss,
frighten her.
The Terr thought of the hospital,
the operating' table and the knife
strikes terror to bar heart.
It is quite true tbat these tremb
le mar reach a staga where an ope
ration la the only resource, but a
great man women hare been eared
by Ljrdla K. Flnkham'a Vegetable
Compound after an operation haa
been decided upon aa the only cure.
The strongest ana most grate int
UtemenU poealble to make come from women who by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native root end herbe. hare escaped serious operations, aa
evidenced by Mlsa Bow Moore's case, of 107 W. J6th Bt, N.Y. 8he writee:-
Dear Mrs. Pinkhami-"Lydla E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound haa
en red me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to yon my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. I
doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting
to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
K. rink ham's Vegetable Compound; It cured me of the terrible trouble
and I am now In better health than I hare been for many years."
This and other sueh cases should encourage every woman to try Ly
dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women
Women Buffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest
way of recovery advised.
ersble will be accomplished.' It haa become
the custom for the house to override a com
mittee when it reports a bill back for in
definite postponement and place the meas
ure on general die for discussion. As a re
sult of this the general file has become
unusually long and considerable hot air
will be let loose when the measures come
up for dlscusMrn. It Is probable sifting
commlttres will be apprlnted In Toth houses,
though two years ago the house dispensed
with this committee. The coming week
promises to be a busy one and may see sev
eral night sessions, as the legislature Is
away behind In Its work. The appropria
tion bill Is liable to get to the house Tues
day and there might be a fight on some of
the recommendations 'of the committee.
Inveatla-atln Flatter Claim.
Representatives Armstrong and Snyder
returned this morning from Sioux county
where they went to Investigate the Cap.
tain Fisher claim for $11,500 and to summon
witnesses to appear before the claims com
mittee next Thursday.' This claim la al
leged to be the value placed on land
escheated to the state and Captain Fisher
Is the attorney for the heirs. It has been
before three legislatures and has grown
from $8,000 to Its present (comfortable else,
while the Investigating committee has evi
dence to show the appraisement was for
$1,(0 The representatives saw two of the
original appraisers who made affidavits
that the appraisement was the smaller
amount and these men will be here
Thursdsy to appear before the committee.
They are W. J., Raum and John Berres,
while Herman Kaup, the administrator,
and M. J. O'Connell, county attorney of
Sioux county, will also be here. The men
saw the original appraisement as filed by
the appraisers and It Is for $11,600, but It
bears evidence of having had the figure
inserted to make the larger amount.
They brought back also ' a copy of the
court records, showing Fisher filed the ap
praisement at $S,000, and this claim was
filed cn the same date upon which the ap
pralaements were sppolnted. The commutes
will - make an effort to get Fisher before
the house for an explanation.
As has been stated the original appraise
ment papers were taken from the court
house, but were later recovered with the
change made. In a room at the hotel In
Harrison. Hallock Rose appeared before

PARIS, Feb. K The clerical organs unite
In declaring that Cardinal Richard, arch
bishop of Paris, will not submit to the new
proposal of the government regarding
church leases, snd their Rome dispatches
Categorically Insist that Pnpe Plus Is re
solved to maintain intact the original text
offered by the French episcopate and. tn
refuse even to discuss the government's
exceptions relative to the liability of parish
priest for ths keeping up of churches and
the exclusion of foreign priests or members
of dissolved orders as parties to contracts.
Whether these Inspired statements are only
part of the diplomatic gams remains to be
seen.
Premier Clemencegu now admits franklv
that as far as hs Is concerned he never
expected ths church to accept the condi
tions as to leases, but he says that Minister
of Education Biiand did, snd that the
cabinet unanimously accorded him a chsnoe
to conclude ths negotiations upon the terms
stated.
"The future will show which Is right;
whether he Is the victim of sn Illusion or
I am mistaken," the premier added.
"If no agreement Is reached, what will
happen?" Premier Clemenceau was asked
"Nothing very terrible," he replied. "I
think we will return to the solution pre
viously contemplated. The churches will
remain opeh, that , goes without saying,
and, It Is conceded,, without lease to ths
clergy, and the State department, or com
mune. as the case may be, will bear ths
cost of keeping up repairs to a church out
of the funds of the church Itself. But
rest assured the government will go no
further In the matter of concessions. The
republican majority In ths Chamber of
Deputies would not endorse It nor would
any member of the cabinet, not even M.
Brland, favor yielding more."
Btatemsat by Vatican.
ROME, Feb. 24. The Vatican communlca
tlon Issued Saturday, In which It was
stated that negotiations for the lease of
churches were considered to have been
broken by the French government, also
said that the French cabinet had taken
recourse In an old fetrategem by pretending
that It wished peace, but pdttlng forth con
dltlons It already knew were unacceptable
The communication " also remarks that
Minister of Education Brland, when he
presented the separation law of 1904, ad
mitted that the foreign clergy could par
ticipate in cultural associations, because
otherwise Dutch and English Protestant
ministers and German rabbis would have
been excluded, but now that It Is only s
question ot Catholics he does not admit
foreign priests as head 'of parishes.

which, of course, the officials of the pen
sion bureau must be guided, and an appli
cant being thus thrown out of that court,
so to speak, haa recourse only through
congress. Hence the great flood of so
called private pension bills.
Of the total number of pension bills of
all classes and conditions Introduced 4.2K0
originated In the senate, all exceut IBS
being measures to benefit veterans if tne
civil war, the exceptions being for sol
diers having' had service In Mexican, In
dian wars or the Spanish-American war,
In ths house 1S.440 pension bills were
Introduced where the claimants had served
during the civil war and 8,180 special bills
were Introduced for soldiers either of the
regular army or Mexican, Indian, Spanish
American or other services.
Mineral Und Saaadal.
Another possible mineral land scandal
is involved in ths passage of a resolution
pf Inquiry by the house of representatives
last week. It called upon the- secretary
of the Interior to Inform the house what
disposition, if any, had been mad of the
lands in two townships in new Mexico,
comprising 46,000 acre of land, located
in tha old Atlantic & Pacific railroad
grant, now controlled by tha Santa Fa.
Between the railroad company and a num
ber Of prospectors a controversy has been
raging for some years over the territory
described, and the latter assert that pat'
snts havs been wrongfully issued to the
corporation for the lands.
A petition presented by Delegate And
rew of New Mexico sets up that for many
years these lands have been known to
contain large deposits of copper ore, and
that the terms of .the act conveying the
grant excluded ail mineral lands, should
any ba found to exist, save those con
taining coal and Iron. About fifteen years
ago the railroad company sold a largo
tract of land In New Mexico and upon
an examination a Mr. Spauldlng, father-in-law
of ons of the Mitchell's, refused
to sdvlss his son-in-law to complete the
purchase of these two townships for the
reasons that they contained copper In such
quantities that they could not be held
under the grant. At that time no patent
had been Issued to the company, and about
the year 1900 a number of mining claims
were located upon the two townships and
raining hag been going on ever since.
Despite this, It Is alleged, patents were
Issued to the rallnpad company In 1902 for
the odd number sections of the townships,
and in the last year two agents of the
Banta F hive located forest lieu scrip
upon a number of the even numbered sec
tions. It is further alleged that the rail
road agents deceived ' miners and pros
pectors as to their real mission, saying
they were going to tpcat timber land In
another section. '
The secretary of the Interior la required
to stats whether or not other minerals
than coal and Iron are found In ths said
two townships; whether any mining or
prospecting had been done there or loca
tions filed prior to 102, and whether or
not lieu forest reserve land scrlD has
been filed an said land by the Banta Fe
company. It agents or assignees, and if
so, when and by whom.
Delegate Andrews says ths lands In
question are situated about seventy-five
mils west of Albuquerque and are com
monly repprted to b rich In copper. It
ha been reported to him that the railroad
company officials havs driven settlers and
miners off ths ground.

It Is an evidence of the dramatic power
of this play of the reconstruction period
that at It second appearance before an
Omaha audience It drew alternately ap
plause and hisses, as very few other
theatrical productions have done. It Is
rarely that the audience, or at least the
portion of the audjence that lend In the
audible expression of their feelings, enter
Into the spirit of the play so thoroughly as
It did last night. Tha applause and the
hisse both expressed rympathy with the
author and while the ' faction that ex
pressed Itself may have been small It
cannot be denied that, like the governor
of South Carolina, It was also loud.
"The Clansman" takes It plot from a
time when dramatto Incident were crowd
ing upon each other In the rapidly chang
ing political and social conditions of South
Carolina. Dixon has presented these condi
tions In an-exceedingly strong way from
the standpoint of the extreme southern
fighter as he believes for the supremacy
of civilisation. The race problem was then
In Its beginning, and nt the same time In
Its most strenOous period of development,
and the concrete manner In which he
handles It makes an affective appeal to
the feeling of everyone who sees the play,
no matter what his opinion as to the ab
stract problem may be. The Interest la
Increased by the Introduction of ghostly
and mysterious scenes from the Ku Klux
Klan. The usual love element Is also a
strong feature of the plot.
The cast has been changed somewhat
since the appearance of the piny In Omaha
last year, but It has lost little by the
change. Ben Cameron, the leader of the
clansmen, Is ably Interpreted by Maurice
Freeman, who has both tho ability and
the physical appearance required by the
part. Austin Stoneman, the radical lender,
and Silas Lynch, the negro lieutenant gov
ernor, are represented, respectively, by M.
J. Jordan and James J. Ryan, In a Very
satisfactory way.- The young women of
the cast art Charming and beautiful," Snd
the negro principals, from I'nole Nelse and
Aunt Eve and the faint-hearted sheriff
down, are all as natural as life.
The play was witnessed by a good crowd
of both races last night. It will run until
after Wednesday night, with a matinee on
Wednesday afternoon,
"Nell Gwyna" at the Bur wood.
Miss Marls Peltes carried her audience
by storm at ths Burwcod yesterday and
leaped Into instant popularity. The suc
cess of Nell Gwynn at Old Drury In Lon
don could not have been more pronounced
than was that Of her prototype In Omaha.
Before the first act was over at the mati
nee the applause was sufficient to Interrupt
the play, end the success of the new lead
ing woman was made certain. At the even
ing performance , she scored point after
point and was again given assurance that
her effort ' was appreciated. Mica Pettcs
has every advantage of youth and good
looks, with a natural vivacity that easily
fit In with traditions of roguish, but warm
hearted . and impulsive, Nellie, who rose
from an orange girl t'o be an actress
through tho favor of the king, and who
held that favor through many years of
court Intrigue, meanwhile winning the Lon
don people by her gracious ways and un
failing good nature. In fine. Miss Pettes
makes Nell Gwynn live again, just as she
lived at the time the Pilgrim Fathers were
searching out the rock to land on. She
impresses with her sincerity and, barring
a llttlo uncertainty once or twice, she dom
inates the situation at all times. Her com
edy opportunities are delightfully taken,
anfl In tha more stressful moments that
come to her she doesn't lose her grip. In
a word, she Is an attractive and capable ao
tress and ought to become very popular at
ths Burwood.
Mr. Morrison make Charle II a kins
very much as he appears In history, a vacil
lating man of generally gqod Impulses, but
lacking the force and strength of character
to carry them out. Mr. Hartford, as Lord
Jeffreys, Is good. Messrs. Davles and Echo
field havs a pair of low comedy parts which
ars well done. The other men of the com
pany are well disposed In the cast.
Miss Orris Ober. who succeeds Miss Hill,
made a good Impression as the duchess of
Portsmouth, while Miss Martin was her
usual self In the ingenue rele of Lady Ol
ivia Vtrnon. Miss Msycllffe makes a fins
lady of the court and Miss Hudson shows
her versatility by appearing as p. buxom
maid rather than as an old woman. The
play Is staged with the care that has
marked Mr. Hartford's productions, snd Is
given very well Indeed.
Vaadevllls at the Orphean.
Among the funmakers at the Orpheum
this Week Charley Casa heads the list. He
keeps his suditors In a continuous slate
of merriment with a running line of hu
morous Incidents of ths lives of himself,
his father and his brother Hank. In his
work Mr. Chsse employs only a blackened
face to heighten the effect of his natural
mannerisms. Relating a little Inside in
formation yesterday, Mr. Case said his
real nams was "John Cass," but when
patrons of the theater began to refer to
him as "Jack," hs took ths nom de plume
of Charley Case. He said his folks did
not like ths combination of Jack and Cass.
Taken as a whole, ths bill is quite satis
factory. Flnlay and Burks in "fitageland
Satire" ar clever, Mr. riniay being par
ticularly entertaining. He Is sn old favor
Its of ths vaudeville. Ths Otura Japanese
troupe, two boys and a girl, present some
thing out of ths ordlnsry, even for Japs.
Their work Is faultless. Ths Rosalrea offer
a novel slack and tight wire act that Is
good of Its kind. Mr. Rosatr does a
thrilling hand stand on a swinging wire.
Merrl Osborne, Louts Ferguson and James
Corley present a dramatic playlet, "Taming
an Actress," by Miss Osborne. There I
nothing out of the ordinary In this sketch,
although Miss Osborns Is dashing and evi
dently would sprx-sr to belter advantage to
a worthy akeUh.
Charles Barry and HuMa Hrtlvers are
seen In a nonsensical but lather amusing
knockabout sketch which serves to balance;
the program. Ivinla Dewltt plays a cor
net In an able manner, her tones snd range
being unususl for a woman. Her vocal In
terpolations do not, however, seem to have
been well advlxed In view of the excel
lence of her Instrumental offerings. New
klnodrome views are arescnted with this
week's program.
"A stranser In Tow a" at the Kris,
At the Krug yesterday Omsha folks were
Introduced to a new comedian In a new
comedy. Mr. Frank Beamish proves his
right to the title by showing his rapacity
for fun making. But he is not alone, for
trie company contains excellent material
that Is used to the best advantBKo. Ths
play Is a mixture of musical comedy, farce
and vaudeville, and during Its progress a
number of enjoyable stunts are presented.
It was witnessed by two large audiences
yesterday, and will close Its stay at the
Krug this evening.
