Smith, wealthy mine owner and formely prominent In the stock market of Wall street, died Wednesday at Atlan tic City, N. J., after a lingering Illness oc casioned by heart trouble. Mr. Smith was well known by the pioneers of Omaha, as It was in this city he made some of the money with which he started In Wall street. He conducted a dry goods store on Farnam street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. In the building now occupied by the Adams Express com pany. He flourished from 1884 to 1S3S and at that time C, E. Mayne and other real estate boomers were at work In Omaha and to boost their outside property they hired brass bands. Smith took the same method to boost his dry goods business. Ho had a band stationed In front of his store to attract a crowd and boost his bus iness. He left Omaha in June. 1885. - Loyal L. Smith's career in Wall street was unique and his methods, dictated by his retiring disposition, were out of the ordinary. He was classed as a "member of the Chicago crowd." which Included John W. Gates, Isaac ElWood, John A. Drake and others. His Influence began to make Itself felt In the stock market shortly after the winter of 1S98-1899. In the Jail of 1908 he turned his attention to the cotton mar ket, his speculations proving highly profit able. The reputation which he then ac quired as a coffee "bull" really marked his last appearanoe In the public eye. Com ing out of the west with a capital not ex ceeding $200,000, he had accumulated 15,000.- 000 in five years. Chronic Constipation Cared.

THE "BLUES" A Lady rinds Xelp from Simple rood. Civilisation brings blessings and also responsibilities. The more highly organized we become the more need there is for regularity and natural simplicity in the food we eat. The laws of body nutrition should be carefully obeyed, and the finer, more highly developed brain and nervous syp tern not hampered by a complicated, un wholesome dietary. ' A lady of high nervous tension says: t or -nrteen years I was a sufferer from dyspepsia. I confess that an lm properly regulated diet waa the chief cause of my suffering. Finally, nothing that I ate seemed to agree with my atomach, and life, ct times, did not seem worth living. "I began to take a pessimistic view of everything and aee life through dark blue glass ao to speak. My head became af fected with a heavy creaplng sensation and I feared paralysis. "Palpitation of the heart caused me to fear that I mlght die suddenly. Two years ago, hearing Grape-Nuts so highly spoken of by some estimable friends of mine, I determined to try It. "Tlje change In my condition waa little less than miraculous. In a short time the palpitation, bad feeling In head and body- began to disappear and the Improvement has continued until at the present time I find myself In better health than I have ever enjoyed. "My weight was Increased 10 lbs. In the last year and life Ipoka bright and sunny to me as It did when I was a child.

WHIT CLUB WOMEN ARE DOING Training School for Saleswomen Con ducted by Boston Clnb Women. PRACTICAL METHODS EMPLOYED Clnrkaon Measorlnl Hoepllal Associa tion Will Plan for Raisins Fends Home for Ttewaboys Prae tleally Assnreal. One of the unique Institutions that had grown out of the club movement Is the school for saleswomen conducted by, the Women's Educational and Industrial union of Boston. Luclnda W. Prince give an outline of the plan of work as follows In the February Bulletin: In seneral the titan waa to dpveloD those qualities which would enable the pupils to succeed as saleswomen. What these quali ties were was determined In two ways: (1) by personal Investigation of the needs of the average untrained salesgirls In stores; (2) by conference with superin tendents as to qualifications essential to Success. As a result, the first general aim resolved itself Into this fourfold, more definite aim: (1) to teach right thinking toward the work as a profession and rouse, a feeling of responsibility; (2) to develop a pleaflng personality; (3) to Instill a re gard for system and cultivate habit of attention to details; (4) to instruct in those subjects which Increase knowledge of goods to be sold. The actual working out of the plan for co-operation with the stores showed con clusively that more store experience was essential for the best results. Arcordlngly after consultation with the advisory com mittee the time schedule was changed so that every day from S:3U to 11 and 4:30 to 6:80 the pupils were In the school and the rest of the day In the stores." For this half-rime work 13 a week waa paid by the stores. The subiects tauaht have been the nat ural outcome of the "purpose of the course," already outlined, and practically no change will be made for the class now forming. The following will show the basis for se lection: (1) To develop a wholesome, at. tractive personality. Hygiene, especially personal hygiene; this Includes study of dally menus for saleswomen, ventilation, bathing, sleep, exercise, recreation. (2) To become familiar with the general system of stores sales slip practice, store direc tory, business arithmetic, business form and cash account, lectures, (ill To increase knowledge of stock color, dnelgn, textiles. (4) To study selling as a science dlscusaion of store exporlences, talks on salesmanship, such as attitude to firm, customer and fel low employe, demonstration of selling In class, Falesmanshlp lectures. (5) To get right attitude toward the work the whole course. The selling classes are conducted like the teaching lessons In normal schools. Real customers, chosen because they represent different types, buy real articles. The sale Is watched by the class, notes being taken of strong and weak points. When the sale la finished, the one who has made the sale Is allowed to criticise her own work, then the class criticises, the customer tells why eiie am or uia not miy me article, and the whole Is summed up by the director. These demonstrations, the discussions of store experience, observations In other stores and actual selling with thought awaken the class to the difference between handling goods over the counter and really serving the customer. What Prof. Palmer calls an "aptitude for vicarlousness" Is as es sential for the successful saleswoman as ior me successful teacher. As far as pos slble the class work Is correlated; the drawing is a storo plan, a design for cos tume; the spelling, names and addresses and store English (and French); when the girls are sent to the stores for samples, salesmanship, color, design, textiles, are studied. The manner of the salesman in giving me sample is observed and reported, the color and design are used in the color lesson and the material In the textile work. If the textile being studied Is wool, one of the store lectures fft that time will te on wool or whollen goods. Practical talks by representatives of the firms Interested, ex- iiMii't-ci eaieBpeopic, nuyers and superin tendents aro given twice class on subjects such aa "The Department """, uysiem ana me saleswoman s Place In It." "How to Show. Goods." "TTlfles." "Textilisa." "flrrvl. r ". tomer." ' Hoapltal Meeting;.

The February educational , meeting of Frances Willard Women's Christian Tem perance union waa held Wednesday after noon at the home of Mrs. H. C. Freeman In Dundee. A review of the life of Frances Willard, by Rev. J. M. Poucher. was fol lowed by a report of the recent State Con ference of "Charities and Corrections by Mrs. J. D. Hart. Mrs.. Clara Burbank, president of the union, talked of Omaha's need of a home or a clubroom for the news boys. The union expects to open such a place as soon as a suitable building can be secured, the women having arranged fo a monthly sum that will cover the rent and help meet the incidental expense of maintaining the home. Refreshments were served after the program. The Nebraska Woman's Suffrage associa tion has suggested that Its clubs place pic tures of Susan B. Anthony In every high school of the state. By this method It Is hoped to educate the youth of the state to a better understanding of the principles the association advocates.

NO GREAT RUSH FOR DESERTER Vnele "am ftoee !fot Care If He Never Comes Bark to the Marines. J. J. Jonea a young man from some point In the Atlantic states, sought out United States Marshal Warner Thursday morning and wanted tq give himself up as a deserter from the Vnlted States Marine service. The matter waa referred to the Judge advocate of the Department of the Missouri and by him referred to the Un(ted""Btates naval re cruiting depot in the federal building. Only a day or two ago, Jonea appeared at the naval recruiting station and claimed he had been but recently discharged from the) navy and wanted to re-enlist. Aa he could not tell a connected story of his naval experiences the application waa turned down and Mr. Jones had to Seek other pastures to reconnect himself with the navy. When he appeared before the naval recruiting officials Thursday morning they recognised him as the same Individual who sought enlistment and did not take his story cf alleged desertion from the marines seriously. However, the naval bureau at Washington will be notified of Mr. Jones' contrition and he was asked to report Saturday to the naval officer to see what may be done. Jones did not relish the prospect of any delay but the naval officials were obdurate and Mr. Jones will have to wait. In the meanwhile ha waa permitted to go hla way. The naval authorities here are of the Impression that Jones Is not really a deserter, but that ha la trying to work a scheme to get free transportation back to the east. Aa a general rule the Navy department is Indifferent about recovering deserters from the Marine service on the theory the ser vice Is better off without them and to leave them go their way rather than to incur the expen -c and annoyance of arrest, trial and subsequent imprisonment. FREMOnTVINS ON CONTRACT City Is Given Decision Over Joseph W. Turner in United States Coort. Judge W, H. Munger handed down a memoranda opinion In the United States circuit court Tuesday morning In which he decides for the city of Fremont against Joseph W. Turner, a paving contractor, In the matter of the" forfeiture of a check de posited with the city in earnest of the ful fillment of a contact Turner was the successful bidder for pav ing contracts In two of the paving districts of that city and the contraot was awarded to him. Pursuant to the usual custom Turner was required to deposit a check for $2,100 for the faithful performance of the oontract. The contract waa submitted to Turner by the city for signature. He re fused to sign It and submitted one of his own. This the city refused to agree to and declared the contract with Turner void be cause of his refusal and also declared the check forfeited. The oontract was then let to ihe next lowest bidder. Turner af once brought suit for the recovery of thd check for $2,100 and sought to enjoin Its payment. The court holds that a check deposited under these circumstances Is either for penalty or liquidation of damages, and from the further fact that the next lowest bid was about $2,600 In excess of Turner's bid that the deposit Is forfeited. The suit of Turner Is therefore dismissed for want of equity and the plaintiff cannot recover damages.
