The weather man said snow would come Tuesday; . If not snow, possibly rain, and there you are.

The bloom given the most conspicuous place is the tall white ; waxen lily. Many of these plants are Im ported, but the majority of them are grown at the local green houses and they are on a par If not a suggestion of eclipsing In beauty and size, those thao have been sent in. Omaha florists report that the Easter lily demand Is large this season, exceeding that of last. While they "have been able to fljl all of their orders, this special variety of flowers la somewhat scarce. One notice able feature, though, are the Easter prices prevalent on all of these floral beauties.

Mr. McCarthy from the south side asked for a temporary crossing of the tracks of the Rock Island and Union Pacific on U street between Twenty-fourth and, Twenty-fifth until the railroads saw fit to construct a viaduct to accommodate that portion of the city. As it now Is there Is no outlet from that section at all. Women aid children have to crawl under freight cars often times at great danger. Otherwise they have to climb the hill to Twenty-seventh street and make a long cir cuit. The city attorney was instructed to communicate with the railroad company and see If it could not be arranged. P. C. Caldwell and others of the west aide requested the council to do all In its power to have a new viaduct constructed at Q street. The present viaduct is too nar row for traffic and In fact Is practically out of business by reason of wear and rust. The mayor assured the delegation that he had been told by the Union Paclflo that material for a new viaduct had been or' dered over ten month ago. The spans will be replaced one at a time so as not to In' terfere with traffic. Charles Cummlngs and Joe Hurt from the west side discussed the L street viaduct with quite as much earnestness as the other propositions. It was suggested that the street cars be allowed to cross street and pass through the Union Stock yards and from thence to Thirtieth and 1. to connect with the new line from Han scorn park.

MORE NUMEROUS THAN SMITHS OR BROWNS Raef Case Contlaaed. BAN FRANCISCO, March 26. The extor tion cases against Abraham Ruef, were called for trial today before Judge Dunne In the superior court and upon the motion of Assistant District Attorney Heney were continued for one week. Reanioa of This DlatlngaUhed Family Is Held Without Any Effort at a Prear raagemeat. The family of Doe wa home numerous bo fore the people's bar Tuesday morning, when It waa opened by Police Judge Crawford, than either the Smiths or Browns are at an average gathering. One member of the Roe family wa also among those present. It wa not a prearranged family gathering, however, a might have been supposed, but merely meant that more than tho usual number of people had imbibed far beyond their capacities and were physically unable to tell the desk sergeant their name. This wa not the case, however, wltl. John Do No. L This man waa arrested on a warrant charging trespassing, and Richard Roe waa arrested with him. All consuming modesty prevented them from making their name public, but a man's name is of smallest Importance in police court Just so he answer the right charge. Richard Roe and Johnnie No. 2 are scenlo artist. They are of the Ilk which emblazon the.heavens and the rocks of the mountain and the wall of the buildings and the bill boards with startling injunctions so that he who runs may read of the best whisky and the best cure for its after-effects; the safest railroad and the best Insurance com pany; the best cigar a well as the worst-' and none dare say these painter nay. They go where they please and their footprint are enormous advertisements. But this pair made a mistake. While applying the likeness of William Penn to the brick wall of a building at 1806 Sherman avenue Monday they splattered white paint on the grass Just turning green on the lawn at No. 1808. The owner was not to have the signs of spring thus obliterated by the signs of business and ordered them to stop getting on his lawn, but they crawled up on their swinging ladder out of reach and made faces at him. This made him so angry he swore out a warrant for their arrest and Judge Crawford set the hearing of their cases for Wednesday morning. John Doe, Noa 1, S and 4, were not afraid to have the judge pas on the merit of thels case immediately. No. I said he did not know if he was drunk, but as the officer said he was not merely drunk, but so much so that he was asleep on the side walk and didn't know he was being taken to Jail, his honor would not listen to his murmurs. No. 1 also tried to stave off a jail sentence by saying he had only drank a couple of glasses of beer, but a he had been found stretched In an alley his testi mony as to what had occurred the day be fore wa not highly vartied. Each wa re quired to pay tl and costs. Dolly Dugan, which name Is hers by law and nature, presented her bleared face be fore the countenance of his honor and blushed not a blush as John Callahan, rather old and bent, told how she and Blanch Sharp had entered his home and "beaten him up." Callihan looked the part of a man beaten up, all right, the only question being as to who did it. Considering the past achievements of Dolly Dimple Dugan, without the aid of Blanch Sharp or anyone else, to clean out most any old shack In the neighborhood of Ram Cat alley, near which la their homo, the court was not disinclined to place credence in the old man's story, and .he name of Dugan was dragged in the mud. Five dollars and costs was the tax Imposed on each of the pugilistic dames. "I wa drunk, all right, your honor, but not begging," swore Tom Brady1. "Well, the arresting officer Isn't here, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Back to the bull pen." "Never mind, your honor, I was begging, too, I guess." And he got ten day.

The Investigation of the Wyoming and Colorado land fraud are under the direct charge of Assistant Attorney General Burch. The Investigations have been under way for several months, with a large force of secret service men employed in the vork, many of them having been employed lii similar work here In Nebraska during the last two or three years, whieh has already resulted in the conviction of a number of prominent land and cattle men.

The mayor is given authority under an ordinance passed a week ago. Every day for a week the mayor has been besieged with requests to order dogs muszled if they run at large. Owners will be given until April 1 to tie their dogs up or muzzle them; after that date the police will be ordered to shoot all dogs found on the street without muzzlea Mayor Dahlman say he has acted in this matter only after he found that publio sentiment demanded It. The last few months were an unusual period for rabies among dog and according to report this disease still exist to a serious extent. Only yesterday two children were bitten by stray dogs. many of the criminal cones, but from the present outlook there will be a wholesale cancellation of patent in Wyoming and the government still ha the recourse of damage against the land thieves. The same observation will apply in a way to the Colorado land deals,' but there is much, to be done there yet. A very large force of secret service men Is in the field and some very Interesting developments will yet result in that state. I might say that the work is but just commenced there and it will bo prosecuted to a finish.

Thus she is especially well qualified to give advice to sick women. Write today, don't wait until too late. . Mrs. Pinkham nerer violates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although ghe Is constantly receiving testimonial from women who have been benefitted by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience has she published such a letter withont the full consent, and often by special re quest of the writer. Neither has she ever disposed of her confidential letters in any other way.

Second, that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, has overcome more cases of female ills than any other one medicine. It regulates, strengthens and restores women's health and is invaluable during the period of Change of Life. Third, the great volume of unsolicited and grateful testimonials oa file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass- many of which are from time to time being published by apeci-1 permission, give absolute evidence of the power of Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound over the illnesses of women.
