Former Omaha Girl's FamK Thai following from the Dally Oklahoman la an Interesting account of the wonderful progress that has been made along musical lines by a former Omaha girl: Among the many musicians of anility In this city, a leading position is accorded to Miss Helen Kenstrom, whose singing voice is pnenomenui in rane ana DiraiiKe in purity of tone. Miss Renmrom, who Is but U years of age, is of Swedish paren tage -and was born In Omaha, Neb. Two years ago, wnue attending ine uncoin school, the marvelous purity of her singing tones attracted the attention of her teacher, who spoke to her friends about the child, among them N. H. Llngenfelter, city editor of the Oklahoman, who was Instrumental In placing her under the tui tion and guardianship of Mrs. Rnze W. Hruckman. I'nder this lady's tutelage Mlss-Renstrom's voice has been developed until there are few singers in the country who possess greater range and purity of voice. Miss Renstrom has appeared In con cert several times In this city and a year ago had the honor of accompanying the statehood delegation to Washington, where she sang "Oklahoma" before the members of congTess. who were captured by her voice. While she has had many flattering offers to sing professionally, her guardian has deemed it beBt to decline them owing to her youth. Prospective Events. The P. E.

Mrs. Welsh Klngsley of Stanton, Neb., formerly of Omaha, Is the guest for two " weeks of her mother, Mrs. A. L. Root. Mr. and Mrs. Harley Ci. Moorehead have returned from their wedding trip and will BACKACHE AND DESPONDENCY Are both symptoms of organic de rangement, and nature's warning; to women of a trouble which will soon er or later declare itself. How often do we hear women say, "It seems as thoug-h my back would break." Yet they continue to drag alocpr and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, dragging sensations, nerr ousnesa and bo ambition. They do not realize that the back ism and onicUlv Indicates bv.achlns' ft diseased condition of the feoilnlne organs or kidneys, ftnd that aches' and pains will continue nntil the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has been for many years the most successful remedy in such cases. No other medicine has such a record of cures of feminine ilia. Miss Lena Nagel. of 117 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writer. 'I was completely worn out and on the verge of nervous prostration. My back ached all the time. 1 had dreadful periods of pain, was subject to flu of crying and extreme nervousness, and was always weak and tired.

Handkerchiefs with colored borders are among the most popular fads this spring. This border may or may not match the frock with which it is used, and pale pink, green, blue and violet are the preferred colors. Fleur de Us, ivy, clover leaf and a great variety of other conventional fig ures are used In the designs. Borne of these novelties are cross-barred with the color and at the Intersection of the bars is a small embroidered dot or some other small figure. Instead of having the env broidery around the border or In the cor ners, as formerly, if. is now scattered over the kerchief in an apparently careless way although this arrangement Is really care fully planned. Embroidered Insects, such as tiles, spiders, beetles and bees are also among the popular designs seen on the newer novelties. "Fashionable" Bridal Gifts. Cigarette cases are one of the popular gifts for spring brides. One recent bride had an even dozen in her collection of presents. They were in as many different styles of workmanship, some of gold with the owner's monogram or initials set with Jewels, others in silver, chased and plain, and one of them, brought from Italy, was entirely set with mosaic. Of course, to make use of twelve or even six cigarette cases was out of the question, so that those not marked with the bride's initials were exchanged. But Jewelers do say that Instead of pre senting a bride with a sliver berry spoon, a salad fork or some article similar the cigarette case Is being largely given. And so far as the expense is concerned it is quite possible to spend as much as $600 on one of these trifles. lometklng Abont Trnnks. Trunks are being shopped for Just now by those looking forward to summer trips. According to one trunk dealer, a trunk of basswood will give the best satisfaction. Such a trunk, well braced and trimmed with brass mountings, should last ten or a dozen years. If one can afford it. It is best to get a skirt length trunk, a hat box and a shirt waist box, for then one's various garments can be well distributed and easily packed. Those who like novelty and have the money to spend can have trunks, for their parasols, their golf sticks, their hats, their boots and shoes and their books. The last variety is an English affair, enamel cov ered, and provides places for a couple of dozen books and as many magazines. Muslin Underwear Expensive. Muslin underwear for women has gone up in price along with a lot of other things. Many women would be satl.fled if , they could obtain for a moderate price simple underwear, fine in quality and, not too atrocious in cut, without a bit of lace upon It, but that is quite Impossible. For a corset cover, for Instance, which one could buy a few years ago for $1 or $1.25, one now has to pay $2.50 and up ward, mostly upward. And when it comes to the same article in lawn with a very little good lace, beading, etc., it Is neces sary to pay from $3.50 to $5 and $6. A nightgown for $4.50 isn't elaborate at all, and generally speaking one with lace at that price Is cheap and shoddy. So that unless a woman makes her own under muslins there Is no alternative but to be content with a cheaper article, which Is never satisfactory and never wears well. Tea table delicacies should be varied ac cording to the season. The clever woman understands perfectly that this little varia tion constitutes one of the chief charms of her table. Even if one is an expert at cer tain features such as tea making and this by the way Is a rare art don't overwork the accomplishment. There are numerous ways of making chocolate, for Instance, and the change is always acceptable. But the very best of chocolate becomes tiresome If al ways served the same way. There are a dozen ways of making coffee, from the European way with a drop or two of va nilla to "take the edge off" of black coffee and the way where it Is like some thick, syrupy stuff, only without the sweetness, to the way one makes It every morning for breakfast. This same variety should be employed In the serving as well as what is served and often assists In disguising many a familiar dellcac,y. Variety in china is especially at tractive and china, by the way, more than anything e'se, with the possible exception of the silver, holds possibilities of qualnt- ness and attractiveness to be accomplished In no other way. -Don't be afraid to bring out your odd things, only be sure that yon use them consistently. MISS LENANAGEL Her advice A) WORK OF THE CLUB WOMEN Women to Employ Isdnitrlal Exhibits ht Education of Pnslio Opinion. CLUBS ENLISTED IN 0SK FOR PROTECTION Adequate Appropriation by Congress for Investigation Into Industrial Conditions of Women and Children the Goal. ' The Federation Bulletin, official organ of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, In Its May number editorially calls upon the club women of the land to assist In an education of public opinion that will make It Impossible for congress to longer Ignore the carelessness that annually results in such appalling loss of life or permanent maiming of men, women and ohldren In our American Industries. Attention Is called to an exhibition of safety appi lances recently held In New York, which might be amployed for the protection of life and limb In the Industries and transportation. Since the New Tork exhibit industrial exhibitions have all partaken more or less of the lat ter element, adding the safety appliances to the exhibits on Industrial and sanitary condition These exhibits are intended to call attention to the reckless waste of life attendant upon American Industrie The accidents alone are estimated at over half a million annually and most of them are preventable. "This exceeds the total of all other nations combined," says the Bulle tin, "and shows beyond the possibility of contrndleltlon the contempt in which hu man life Is held In this country- "When It Is remembered that In all this list of 500,000 accidents a very large propor tion fall upon helpless women and children, the real character of this movement is re vealed at a glance. No amount of argu ment or smooth glossing; can obscure the point of such a state of affairs. Everyone living in this year of grace can testify that, when these facts were presented to our congress last winter it was found to be Im possible to secure their attention. All that was' asked was a small appropriation In order to obtain an investigation of the In dustrial condition of the 5,000,000 wage-earning women of the country. The bill was panned without an appropriation, with the Intention of killing it; but, a small sum was secured at the last moment through the Department of Commerce and Labor, and It was secured by Indirection and in spite of the opposition of the majority. "The materials of which these exhibits are composed are very portable and nothing Is easier than to convey them from city to city until the entire country has seen them and has been awakened. It is not necessary to explain to any one what hap pens when the American people become fully awakened to the fact that a need less, shameful and inhumanly cruel form of tyranny is safely ensconced and pro tected beneath the folds of our flog. "It Is evident that the woman's clubs have never found a more fruitful field for their activity than is offered here. It is better than argument, it is better than appeals. It is the simple presentation of the cold facts, as they are marshalled by boards of health and experts whose testi mony is founded upon actual Investigation, and that, too. with the indorsement of state legislatures and state and city com' 'n. of all kinds. If there Is anything which an American respects it is fact, and here are the facts in a form which it la Impossible to parry or to evade." Helping Southern Schools. One of the unique women's organizations Is the Woman's Southern club of Columbia university, which each year does some thing to assist some school of native south ern whites and for scholarships for teach ers who will return to the south to teach. Each year the club does something unusual In the way of a benefit, and today It gives a benefit performance at the Astor theater. The performance consists of a May day fete, with choruses and old English dances. The model Farrsgut school in eastern Ten nessee, near the home of Admiral Farragut, is to be the beneficiary this year. This Is the first school built In the campaign for industrial education In Tennessee and has been the means of educating many children of all ages. Comic Supplement Condemned. At the recent meeting of the' Interna tional Kindergarten union a committee was appointed to confer with club women for conducting a campaign against the comic implement of the dally papers.

Co operation of all organizations of women is asked. Many club women who will attend the council of the General Federation at James town the first week In June will also go to Richmond, Va., for the unveiling of the statue of Jefferson Davis. The United Daughters of the Confederacy, the foremost organization of women in the south, has had an active part In soliciting the funds for the statue and will have a corre sponding part in the exercises June 8. Something; Mew In Jewelry. One of the latest freaks of fashion in the way of ornamentation la the wearing of a cluster of enamelel butterflies upon the corsage of a reception gown or 'a dressy street costume. These butterflies vary In size from three Inches from tip to tip down to tiny ones not more than half an inch across. It is the fancy to keep them all alike In coloring, and one pretty troop recently seen was enana-led in blue and purple and six of them were worn upon the Jumper waist of a dull blue voile, made up over purplish red silk. The butterflies are made In the shape of clasp pins, and in this instance they reached from the center of the waist at the bust to the right shoulder, ons appar ently following the other In their merry flight toward some red and purple roses which formed the trimming of the mush room hat. AMERICAN H0PS IN EUROPE Portland Maa Ea Reate to tke Old Country to Open t'p a New Branch of Trade. Hans C. Walberg of Portland. Ore., who Is. enroute to Europe, stopped off for a day's visit In Omaha yesterday. This Is Mr. Walberg's first visit to Omaha since the exposition.

They use the German pro duct altogether, and I am sure we can compete with the German product both lu price and nuallty." Mr. Walberg Is a member of the Portland Bosrd of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. He said: "I am going to Insist to your commercial club that Portland be Included In their trade excursion, as I believe the establishment of closer relations between my city end Omaha will Insnre to ths benefit of both. I hope to be able to write to the Portland Chamber of Commerce and tell them the Omaha men are coining, and I'll assure you they will get the re ception of their lives. Omnha has cer tainly made wonderful progress since I was here last. So many fine business houses have gone up that I have had to get acquainted with the streets all over again."

SEARS DISMISSES FITCH CASE Closely Contested Suit for Fees Is Stricken from Docket by Judge. Judge Sears yesterday afternoon peremp torily dismissed the suit of F. W. Fitch against Euclid Martin, administrator of the estato of Robert Majors. The dismissal wns over the protests of Fitch's attor neys, who declared the action was unwar ranted in law and contrary to the mandate of the supreme court, which had directed the case be tried to a Jury. The action was taken on Fitch's motion to transfer the case from Judge Sears' docket to one of the other Judges. At the last trial of the case before Judge Sears he dismissed the Jury before the case had been submitted, alleging that the record had been changed. Under his di rection a contempt case Bnd , a case for disbarment were filed against Fitch. The contempt case has been submitted to Judge Kennedy, but has not been decided. The disbarment case has not been tried. In dismissing the case Judge Sears re ferred to the contempt and the disbarment cases and the charges of tampering with the records upon which they are based. He said In view of the previous history of the case he would wipe It off the docket. Byron Q. Burbank, attorney for Fitch, protested against this action. He declared which directed that the case should be tried to a Jury. It had been tried three times, but mistrials had resulted In each In stance. At the first trial Fitch received a Judgment for $5,000, at the second tho Jury disagreed and at the third Judge Sears discharged the Jury. Mr. Burbank con tended the case now stands as it stood im mediately after the mandate was Issued. He maintained the position of the court was without authority in law or fact. He pointed out that the charges against Fitch were as yet only charges and had not been proven. Eight of -the eleven jurors he said had testified there was no change In the record and five other persona had said the same. He said Judge Sears differed from the other witnesses In what tho change was. He contended that even If the charges had been proven neither tho contempt nor the disbarment case could enter Into the present one. Judge Sears responded that under tho circumstances he thought he would be Jus tified In dismissing the case and ordered It stricken from the docket. COURT HAS WATER WORKS CASE Ara-unieata la Suit to Compel Accept ance of Appraisal , Finished.

TAKES LUNCH WITH MAYOR DAHLMAN Says Roger Sullivan Is an Incident that Came In Contact with Prin ciple and Principle Remains. The proverbial clam could have taken an object lesson from W. J. Bryen at noon Thursday at the office of Mayor Pahlman when answers to questions propounded would have done more than to indicate that he is willing to let political matters, In either party, rest In peace until after the Chautauqua snevson Is closed. The only definite answer -to a question political was In reference to Roirer Sullivan of Illinois when he remarked, "Mr. Sulli van Is an Incident. He came into forcible contact with a principle and the principle remains." It was after U o'clock, when, accom panied by former Councilman Dave O'Brien, Mr. Bryan entered the mayor's private office. "You have long desired to occupy an executive chair," remarked the mayor, "so now sit down." Taking the chair and reaching for a pen, Mr. Bryan responded, "Now give me the names of all democrats who desire par dons." While those who desired to shake hands with the Idol of democracy entered the room they laughed at the remark and for several minutes Mr. Bryan held an In formal reception In the mayor's office, shaking hands with a number of city offi cers and others, men and women, who called to pay their respects. Then the distinguished Nebraskan was turned over to tho tender mercies of the Interviewers and the silence which "emanated" from the executive chair early Indicated that Mr. Bryan has his own time and place for taking the public Into his confidence. That Recent Platform. "On the subject of a recent Interview with Mayor Dahlman, In which the mayor was quoted as outlining a platform for the next democratic convention, with the ap proval of the prospective candidate, he hud a few words to say, sharp, short and decisive on what he termed the unJUHt practice of Interviewers in writing garbled and colored reports of statements in a rvay in which they cannot be denied without more trouble than the Incident warrants. On other matters such as the chances of aspiring candidates in either party his reply In each case practically was: "I have nothing to say; I do not think I should prophesy for republicans and have no Intention of prophesying for democrats." In reply to a direct question he said: "If one can Judge by the growth of party principles the democratic party should be In excellent condition for the next presi dential campaign and democratic principles are growing In all parts of the country." 111 . 1 r.'.y1' , a A furniture exchange, where you can convert old "eyesores" into beautiful new looking furniture right in your own house, suiting yourself as to the style of finish!

HANFORD AS MARC ANTONY Sterling Actor Gives Scholarly Per formance of Fine Shakes pearean Drama. "Julius Caesar" is a drama of star part": Antony, Brutus and Cnsslus each calling for talent of high order for appropriate presentation, and Caesar and other roles demanding more than the average of ability for even approximately correct Interprets tlon. Therefore Is criticism, unless it ue captious, disarmed at the outset with deal ing with the drama If offered by less than an all-star aggregation. Mr. Hanford has assayed a task that might daunt a less dc- j termlned man, and that he has achieved sucn success as nas iouowea ins enon is all to his credit. He clings to the more robustious school of acting, furnishes a Roman mob of great lung power, and all the speeches are delivered with much force and direction, even though the method be of doubtful value. This is a matter of Judgment; not so very many years ago It was considered the sublimation of art and looked upon as the only possible means of arousing the auditors. That it Is still potent is attested by the fact that each fall of the curtain last night was the signal for energetic applause, and the star was forced to bow many times his acknowl edgement of the ovation. Mr. Hanford was most effortlve In his lament In the senate over the dead body of Caesar. His conception of this is ex cellent; for that mutter, his oration scene was very effective, its one false note being a tendency to the theatric. Mr. Hanford makes tho demnpogic attitude of Antony most apparent, and shows him deliberately plotting his own advancement over the dead body of the man he professed to so sincerely lament. His reading of the lines Is what might be looked , for from so ex perlenccd an actor, excellent. Mr. Edwards as Brutus was fine in some parts and hardly up to the mark In others. The soliloquy In tho garden was delivered with all the emphasis of a stump speech, but his speech In the market place was such as might have been made by the finished orator and polished student Brutus un doubtcdly was. In the tent scene, too, he reached a high mark. Mr. Kline's Cas slus is well conceived and as well pre sented. Miss Drofnah he. the smull role of Portia, of which she makes the most. P. II.

The play Is splendidly staged, and is al together a real treat to any who cares fo the classic drama.. The audience last nigh was not very large, but was most generon in Its expressions of approbation. "Julius Caesar" will be repeated again this evenf Ing, closing the engagement.
