Rh led Ids It thoroughly after using, and civet It a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that If her churn is tour It will taint the butter that Is made In It.' The stomach Is a churn. In the Ktomsch and digestive snd nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is It not apparent therr that If this stomach-churn Is foul it makes foul til which Is put Into It? The evH of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad taste In the mouth and the foul breath caused by It, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination ef disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for thechurn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way It cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste Id your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of thein.

DETECTIVE SHOOTS HIMSELF Secret Service Man Woindi Self and Another Officer by Ac cident. . 8. R. Rush, assistant attorney general. has returned from Denver, where he has been looking Into the coal land fraud cases In that state and Incidentally Investigating the assassination of Secret Service Officer Joseph Walker, who was killed In Novem ber at Durango, Colo., while In the dis charge of his duties. The matter of the assassination of Walker is now In the hands of the federal grand jury at Denver. Mr. Rush tells an Interesting story of the accidental Injury to one of the secret serv ice force at Denver, a Mr. Dolan, who had his left hand badly crippled by the prema ture discharge of a pistol he. was examin ing. Dolan was sitting at a desk In secret service headquarters and, noticing a re volver In one of the drawers, took it out to examine it.' He was not aware the pis tol was loaded and happened to have his hand over the muisle. when the gun acci dentally discharged, the ball tearing away a part of his hand. The bullet after pass ing through Dolan's hand rlcochetted against a heavy oak desk and then struck another member of the secret service force, Fred Bomers, inflicting a slight wound In the groin, but not sufficiently to disable him, the wound being merely an abrasion, though passing through his trousers, and then fell' to the floor. Dolan was taken to the Denver hospital for treatment and will be laid up for some time. , Dolan is well known in Omaha, having been employed In the' investigation of the land fraud cases in Sheridan and Cherry counties a couple of years ago. - Assistant Attorney General Rush will re main in Omaha for several weeks and will have charge of the, trial of the land fraud cases, which will begin January e, In the United States district court. FORMAL WATER BOARD RULING Press Dispatch t'onlrmi Private Mea- sasT Pabllahed Last . Week la The Baa. Confirming the report as published In The Bee last Friday to the effect that the United States supreme court had denied the petition of the Omaha Water board for a writ of certiorari in . Its case for higher water rates tn Omaha, the Asso ciated Press brings this dispatch: WASHINGTON, Dec. ZS.-The supreme court of the United States today decided the case of the Omaha Water company against the city of Omaha, arising out of the city's effort to reduce the water rate against the city. . The proceeding was Instituted by the company to secure an injunction against the enforcement of an injunction reducing the rate on water to consumers below the price fixed In 1883 when the contract was first made with the company. That con tract was for twenty-five years and the company claimed that for the city to re duce the rate before Its termination would involve a breach and therefor violate the federal constitution. The United States circuit court for Nebraska sustained the ordinance, but its . decision was reversed by the United 'Slates court of appeals for the Eighth circuit and the city appealed the case. Chief Justice Fuller announced the supreme court's opinion, dismissing the appeal for want of jurisdiction and deny ing the petition for a writ of certiorari. MRS. PUCKER GETS NO DIVORCE Letters Between Hasband aad . Mrs. Ritchie Not Bneaa;s to Con vtneo the aladate. Judge Redlck has refused to grant the divorce asked for by Mrs. Esther Ducker, who asked for a decree of separation from Louis C. Ducker, a farmer living ' near Florence. The basis of the petition was a number of letters which Mrs. Duoker charged her husband wrote to Mrs. Anna L. Ritchie, a neighbor. Some of the epistles were couched. In endearing terms, and Mrs. Ducker contended they shewed a relationship between her husband and Mrs. Ritchie, which would entitle her to a de cree. Judge Redlck, while holding that some of the letters which had been Inter cepted were genuine, they did not give Mrs. Ducker legal grounds for the divorce. rrtahUirt Snaame of the stomach, liver torpor, lame back and weak kidneys are overcome by Elec tric Bitters.

WHY WAS ARCADE JUST CLOSED t Colonel Dahlataa Sara Police J ad are , Kaew of It Year A aw, When Conditions Were Mack Woise. Mayor Dahlman was at his desk Monday morning after being at home several days suffering with a cold which for a time threatened pneumoniae Enforcement of the Sunday law and the attitude of the public, all of which has de veloped since the mayor became 111, Is In teresting him. "If these people don't look out they will tie up Omaha tighter than any town In the United States. There Is only one way out of the present situation as far as I can see and that is for all parties concerned to agree to a reasonablo enforcement of certain laws. I am placed in a position where I can lake no Independent action. The Sackett law leaves the officers men tioned In it no alternative but to enforce all laws regardless of public sentiment or personal desire. When my attention Is specifically called to any law I must order Its enforcement or bi prepared to surren der my office under an order of the su preme court. "Those people who do not desire the Sun day law enforced can work for its repeal or modification by the next leglslatute, or they can arrange with the official charged with the enforcement of the Sackett law to Ignore complaints which may be filed under It. That law as It now stands gives the governor of the state full control of the enforcement of the laws of every com munity, because he alone can ignore a complaint that the law is not enforced, and any person, no matter how Irresponsible, can make trouble for any mayor, chief of police or prosecuting attorney who tries to use his judgment as to the enforcement of any law on the statute books. Why Did They WaltT 'This matter of closing the Arcade is an other step In the same direction. For two years the police judge has known of condi tions existing at the Arcade. According to evidence before the Board of Fire and Po lice Commissioners the conditions were worse a year ago than they are now, but the closing system was not the popular move a year ago that It is now. Why are not other places, equally disreputable, In terfered with? The beginning at the Ar cade only means that all such houses must be closed because the people will not stand for discrimination in the enforcement of laws. Then when this is done where will the women go? "Some of these ceoole are coins: to keeo nagging and nagging along until they kllr Omaha. To make a business town business must be done, and some business must be done on Sunday, but I can do nothing un less I want to leave this office under Im peachment charges and I am not going to do that." BOYS SAID TO BE GAMBLING Charse. Made that They Play In - Pool Rooms In Sooth Omaha. The probation authorities have decided to investigate alleged charges that gambling by boys Is being permitted In a number of South Omaha pool halls and cigar stores. The facts were brought out In the case of Frank Powers and Ell Michael, two boys, who were before the juvenile court charged with risking their money .in games of chance. Their stories indicated that gambling Is a common prac tice among the boys who frequent the cigar stores and pool halls and the probation offlcors will start a campaign to put a stop to it. Clldle Miller, a 18-year-old girl, and Mamie Watters, one year younger, who were taken out of a room In a hotel on North Thirteenth street under clrcum atancea which implicate two young men, have been paroled to Dean Beecher until a full investigation can be made of the case. The Miller girl was supposed by her parents to be in Des Moines, while the Watters girt was away from home taking care of her 6-year-old brother, who was found with them. Since their arrest thoy have been in the Rescue home.

Burk, who escaped from the city pest house Sat urday evening roamed the country west of Omaha Saturday night, when he was taken In custody by Deputy Sheriff Hoff.

Munroe,' freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, has returned from a four weeks' trip through the east. Including points In New England and New Tork state. He also attended the hearing of the lumbermen's complaint against the Harrl man and Hill lines on lumber from the Pacific, northwest. "We are asking for a raise In these rates because we cannot afford to haul the lum ber longer at the old rates." said Mr. Mun roe. "The present lumber rates were put In effect In 1893 when the business was an Infant Induatry and we wished to encour age It. Conditions are also entirely dif ferent nowadays than they were then. Then the volume of business on the west ern roads moved to the west and the cars were returned to the east empty. Now It is different.' The balance of trade has changed as the west has been built up so that when we bring a car of lumber from the northwest we have 'to retiSrn that car back empty and cannot afford to do It at the old rates." D. C. Bradford of the Bradford-Kennedy company and Mr. Miller of the Updike Grain company were witnesses at Ihe hear ing, which closed last Thursday. Time will be given for the submission of briefs by both sides and the case will then be taken under advisement by the commission. B. L I xi max, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, has returned from Chicago, where he has been for the last several weeks lining up different affairs for the passenger department. When asked If he thought the other western lines would follow the Inititative of the Wabash In putting In a second class passenger rate Mr. Lomax said: "I do not think so. The Wabash has threatened for some time to put that rate to St. Louis Into effect if the Omaha Chicago roads did not withdraw the .3 party rate between Omaha and Chicago." The second class passenger rate Is not used by lines of the Western Passenger association except on through tickets to New York or San Francisco. In reference to the motor cars which the Union Pacific Is operating on several of the branch . lines Mr. Lomax said they were all doing a good business and were making lots of revenue' for the company. "Some of the lines are still objecting to applying the 2-cent passenger rate to Inter state business, although most of them are In line," add Mr. Lomax. "The sum of the locals from Detroit to Chicago Is $5.30 and still the Michigan Central Insists on collecting )d on through tickets to the west." Railway Notes and Personals. E. C.

B. C. Harris of Reno, Nev., was a visitor at the office of the mayor Monday, 'Conditions at Goldfield are somewhat overdrawn," said Mr. Harris. "I have been there recently and from all I could see there was no Immediate danger of fight ing; but I think Governor Sparks was fully justified in asking for federal troops. You know we have no state militia and there was no way of telling when hot-headed miners or mine owners would make the worst kind of trouble. That time has surely passed now and no one familiar with the conditions expects fighting." TEST OF COMPTROLLER LAW Case Will Be Heard Before Judge Redlck In District Court Monday.
