The present enpngement of the company will continue Friday and Pat irJ.iy nights at the Krug. 1 i.e suggested conaolldation of the Ne braska Humane society and Douglas County Humane society failed to materlal lxe yesterday afternoon at an Informal meetlnK between gome of the directors of tho first mentioned organisation. Attorney C. O. McDonald representing the Douglas County society and several disinterested persona. Judges Sutton and Kennedy of the ju venile court appeared with an olive branch, primarily that the general cause of humane work might be placed on a harmonious basis and that some representative of humane work might co-operate with the juvenile court work. Judge Button had with him a list of 2'H names of persons said to be members of the Douglas County Humane society and a letter from F. J. Ellison, who offered to withdraw from his oclety '.f such action would advance the general cause of humane work. When asked If he was a director of the Douglas County Humane society, as re ported In the newppapera on authority of Mr. Ellison, Judge Sutton declared he was not connected with the new aoclety and had aent Mr. Ellison a letter saying he would not consent to the use of his name In such connection. The judge referred Itev. John Williams, who asked the ques tion, to C. O. McDonald, who wai present and representing the Interests of Ellison's aoclety. Answer I.I lie Yankees. Then as a preliminary negotiation for a possible consolidation. Father Williams asked Mr. McDonald If his aoclety would consent to render an ltemlied statement of moneys collected from the 104 persons whoso nnmes appeared on the list pre sented by Judge Sutton. Mr. McDonald answered by asking Father Williams whether the Nebraska aoclety would con sent to make a similar showing, to which Father Williams replied by saying that the books of his society were always open for Inspection. Further conversation drew the rival societies away from the point of consolidating and the matter wu dropped with the tacit understanding that the two societies could not get together. Rev. Mr. Williams said his society was opposed to assuming the moral and finan cial responsibilities assumed by tho Doug tus County society without at least an Itemized statement of the finances of the Dew society. After the meeting Secretary Mann of the Nebraska Humane society said his no clety would proceed at once to carry on the work of the society as In former fears and now had a superintendent In view with prospects of engaging the per son In question within a week. Secretary Mann presented at the meet ing a telegram from Secretary of State Junkln, who wired that no articles of Incorporation had been filed by the Doug las County Humane society.

DUN'S REYIEW OF TRADE Andrew Sotienek. Member of the county council for the County of Drey, Ontario, and president of the Germanla Fire Insurance company, recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In my family for oter a year, and can say that It has never failed to cure the most stubborn cough or cold. I can recommend It to any family as a sure and safe chil dren's cough remedy. Andrew Schenck, Ay ton, Ont. f CCRBETT AT THE KRU6 "The Ilnrvlar nnd the I.ady" Telia story and Rlrea Him a Good Chance. James J. Cnrbctt exhibited his form through tho four acts of the drama, "The llurglur and the Lady," last night at the Kr:g theater before a large sited audience. Mr. Corbett's fine physique Is not his only Justification for appearing before the foot lights, for he acquits himself as lover and burglar In an acceptable manner. The play was written especially for Corbctt, and ns the name Implies, Is on tho Hheilock Holmes order. Corbett tnkes the part of Raffles, the burglar, and inaki s love to Norma,' tho banker's niece. One dark and stormy night he breaks Into Norma's uncle's bank for the purpose of robbing it. and finds the uncle there for the Hiinio purpose. They compromise and share the plunder. From that point on the play abounds In thrilling adventures with sleuths, hairbreadth escapes and a reckless discharge of firearms. Raffles llnirlly confesses his true character to his lady love, but "she loves him," and 'on his promise to reform forgives him, upon the condition, however, that he return the dla niond necklace ho stole from her, which he does. He also keeps his promise and reforms, marries the girl, and they go to Europe to begin life over. Mr. coroen is supported by a strong A Time Marker In Vvindow Decoratlna; Every Omahan will recall with pleasure, and probably with pride, the remembrance of Horse Show window achievements. He will remember how public Interest was keyed up prior to the award of prises for the best Horse Show windows, for which Omaha's leading stores entered Into com petition with spirit For three consecutive years the Bennett company lifted the first prise, and, of course, set a pace which would keep even themselves humping con siderably to keep up. From the Impression given a Bee reporter derived from an early inside view of the Bennett company's Easter window display there ran be no question but that the Ben nett company have gone one better. The show will open Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, barring accidents and delays which which In these days of electrical science are liable to happen without notice. This latest achievement In window deco rating Is In the nature of ft panoramlo dis play of the wonders of America, and every window on Harney and lfith St. lends Itself wholly to the general elaboration. First thing one sees from the street Is a large water color picture, a perfect representa tion of some world-renowned American scene of natural or historic Interest. The Falls of Niagara Is given as observed from below the whirlpool. Stars twinkle over head. These are produced by electrlo bulbe not larger than peas. The sublimity of the Mountain of the Holy Cross will be best appreciated In Its weird night effect, with the great symbol of sacrifice cleft In the mountain peak so clearly dlscernable. Or again, there la lookout Point, the Grand Canon of the Colorado, the Cliff House and Golden Gate, the Moon Fairy, the Old Mill near the home of Garfield, the famous old Apple Tree of Kentucky, etc. One of the most striking of the series Is Rounding Cape Horn, showing the danger to the mari ner of getting too near. The ship Is seen to pitch and toss almost among the break ers, while great flashes of lightning live, vivid and very real break In over head. Aside from the ranoramlc picture display there Is a decided Easter touch In the ac companiments. Figures of beautiful women, made more beautiful by the exquisite gowns, costumes, robes, embroideries, laces, lingerie and folderalls, are prominent Each one carries a charming piece of millinery, probably the.flnest Instance of millinery art of which Omaha could boast. A guide book In the hnnd of the figure tempts one to a peek over her shoulder, and there one can read the subject of the picture In that par ticular window. Sprays of rich, green yuva, carnations, asellas, dainty Easter merchan dise, fantastic festooning In delicate pink atd thousands of Incandescent lights give evidence of tho tremendous task accom plished by the store decorator. In view of the Initial opening Saturday evening at 6 o'clock and the Interest which Is sure to be evoked, the Bennett company may succeed In securing an extra street car service for the occasion. Easiness Eetpondi t Influence of fettled Eprinc Weather at Most foist, EASTER SALES ARE UNUSUALLY HEAVY i i Many Dealera Underestimate Re quirements aad t'rieat Demands Are Made In Jobbing tloaaea Demands for Iron and Steel. NEW YORK, March 22. R. O. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Buelness has responded to the Influence of settled spring weather at most points and proximity of lighter has increased sales of dry goods, millinery and footwear. Many dealers had underestimated require ments and urgent demands are mnue on Jobbing houses. Transportation la mere satisfactory, but at many cities there aro still complaints that seasonable goods do not come forward as specified. One of the best features is the steady Improvement n mercantile payments. Congestion in the iron and steel Industry and tardiness of deliveries were accentu ated by the flood, which stopped production at many plants In the Pittsburg district for three days or more. A heavy tonnage of southern Iron has been taken from tlie Birmingham market, all at firm quotations. A lull In the volume of new business Is Welcomed by the cotton mills, as pressure lor delivery had advanced prices to the limit of safety. In the opinion of many manufacturers. Large contracts were placed at most profitable prices during the period Of activity and the approach of taster has checked the efforts of Jobbers To ac cumulate stocks because the rush of store trade will be over by the end of this month. As to woolens, the advancing season brings out more business In men's wear, but tew lines are fully taken. Dress goods are In a satisfactory condition. Footwear factories In New England re ceive supplementary orders for seasonable goods, chlelly from eastern wholesalers for shipment In May and June, but this class of business comes forward somewhat slowly. Soino of the leading tanners have re mained out of the hide mnrket so lolng that most varieties have begun to accumu late. Holdings of native hides are notably large and prices are correspondingly weak. I'aeker branded hides are relatively firmer. Reshlpment of receipts Indicates that the Hamburg market Is much firmer than New York. 1x4 ALL THE NEW SPRING STL YES IN THE MAY MAN TON PATTERNS 10 lOth AIMD 1 HOWATID PHONE IN YOUR OR DERS IF YOU ARE UN ABLE TO COME.

S. Tbcmsf, Conductor of Train Wrecked b; Explosion, Visits Cmika, BEARS SCARS OF TERRIELE EXPERIENCE Waa Sewed Together and Thrown in a Box, 'with Wo Thoaaht of My Liv ing;," Snye He. To be blown through the side of a rapidly moving train by the explosion of a car of powder on nn adjoining side track Is an experience through which few people live to tell the tale. F. S. Thomas Is one of these rare Individuals. Mr. Thomas waa the conductor of the train on the Bid Four road which was blown to pieces by the explosion of a car of powder a few weeks ago when over thirty people were killed and but five saved. He spent Friday in Omaha and called at The Bee office to sco an old friend, George Epperson. He did not know that Mr. Epperson had died two years ago. Mr. Thomas bears the marks of his ter rible experience. The back of his head Is a mass of cuts. A scar curves over his left ear and down the left side of his face. The marks of powder are oil over his face. He showed a piece of glass an Inch long and more than half an inch wide which was removed from his chin Just recently. So badly was he injured that he was only roughly "sewed together" by the surgeons and placed In ft box. They thought he could not possibly survive. "I nm sure I have no recollection of the explosion," said Mr. Thomas. "One moment I was sitting In the train and we were gliding along on schedule time. The next moment we had been converted Into a mass of splintered wreckage, with which were mingled the still bodies of the dead and the writhing, groaning bodies of the Injured. "I waa blown through the side of the car and Into a barbed wire fence forty feet away. There I was found and roughly sewed together. They didn't expect me to recover. More than twenty pieces of glass were removed from my person. "Strange aa It may seem, I was con scious of what went on about me. I could hear the groans and shrieks of the people In that mass of wreckage and the shouts of those who were digging around, prying up big timbers and doing everything possible to relieve the injured and give them sur gical attention."

Mitchell's explana tion to Judge Crawford In police court Fri day morning how he happened to be prose cuted on a charge of embezzlement by Thomas Brennan, his employer. Mitchell came to Omaha without a Job or recom mendations and Brennan "took a chance" with him, giving him a position which required him to make collections.

Tho Auditorium Roller Rink will close for tha aeaaon on Saturday night, March 13. Owing to the unexpected warm weather the rink will be close J earlier than usual. All who wish to enjoy one more night of roller skating should be on hand Saturday nltht, aa this will be the end of I lie whirl on wheels until next fall Work has been man's lot since the creation, but a day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is It, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An un natural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of filter ing the blood free of waste and poison. The heavy tax of overwork. the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations, Is too great. The kidneys begin to fall in their work, and there is a double danger to health. The poisonous mat ter collects in the system, and the kid neys themselves begin to break down. Pain in the back Is only a warning of trouble In the kidneys. An inflam mation has set in, and a disordered condition oi the urine soon become! apparent. Too much or too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secre tions; any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of a sandy sediment, proves a disordered condition of the kidneys, that needs quick attention. If your work seems hard for you, If you have a lame, weak or aching back If you seem tired and listless, and eeem to be running down without ap parent cause, begin at once with Doan's Kidney Pills, the great kidney remedy that has cured so many of your neighbors. It has given thousands of working men and women strong, sound backs for their dally work. OMAHA PROOF. Mrs. F. n. Kingsbury, of 1823 Dor cas St., Omaha, Neb., says: "Since Mr. Kingsbury first used Doan's Kidney Pills in the spring of 1899, he has never been without them to exceed a few months at a time. Prior to hi first appeal to Doan's Kidney Pills, hall had suffered from kidney trouble fori about two mouths. The 'complaint gradually grew worse and worse, until he had to give up work. Doan's Kid ney Pills took right hold in his case and the pain in his back ceased and the irregularity of the kidney secre tions was corrected. On a few occa sions since, evidences of these troubles have returned and Doan's Kidney Pills have never failed to promptly check them." DQAN'S'KIDNEY. PILLS Sold all aeatars. Plica o etoU.
