No other laxative is gentle enough for
a baby. No other acts so naturally.
Use Cascarets alone.
Any person living largely on milk must
have the help of a laxative.
Milk fails to supply the laxative effects
that other foods supply.
So nursing mothers all need Cascarets

TAFT WEDDING RECALLED
Claelaaatl Paper of ISSeJ Tells of the
Marrlagre at Presidential
Asplraat.
Now that William Howard Taft has be
come the most prominent candidate for
the nomination of the republican party
for the presidency of the United States,
the Incidents In his life have become of
vast Interest to the American people.
Feminine Interest, of courss, centers
largely about Mrs. Taft. who. If she be
comes mistress of the White House, will
be the first lady ln the land.
As long ago aa 1W a Commercial Gazette
reporter, describing the marriage of the
then young lawyer, William Howard Taft,
wrote that Taft's career up to that time
"gave high promise of great distinction."
He gets -the credit of being the "original
Taft man" and a prophet who. friends of
Taft say today, knew an embryo presi
dent of the United States when he saw
one. I
In 1SS William H. Taft and Miss Helen
Herron were married by Rev. Dr. M.
A. Hoge of Zanesvllle, a Presbyterian
minister.
In the Cincinnati Commercial Gasette on
Sunday, June an. page 1, appears the fol
lowing accourt of the wedding, which took
place the evening before:
"Yesterday afternoon at 4:48, at the resi
dence of Mr. and -Mrs. John W. Herron,
was celebrated the marriage of their
daughter, Mlas Helen L. Herron, and
William Howard Taft, the son of Judge
Alphonso Taft, late United States minister
to Russia. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. M. A. Hoge, LU B., pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church of Zanes
vllle, O., who years ago married the bride's
mother and father.
"The bride wore a charming gown of
white silk, wlth embtoldered tabller, her
veil caught up by sprays of white lilacs,
and she carried a bouquet of sweet peas
and lilies of the valley. There were no
bridesmaids and no best mar., but the
bride's sister. Miss Maria Herron, and the
groom's sister, Miss Fannie Taft, both In
lovely white totlettee. stood near the bride
during the ceremony, at which were pres
ent only the families of the bride and
groom and a few intimate friends.
"In the reception which followed, be
tween the hours of 5 and 8, about 100
guests assisted. Mr. and Mrs.' Taft left
last night by the limited for New York,
whence they sail on Wednesday by the
City ' of Berlin for ' Europe, Intending to
pass the summer In England. The best
wishes of a wide circle of friends go with
them. ' The bride comes of a sterling
family, and has had the very highest social
and domestic training.
"William H. Taft Is one of the young
men of the city who may be depended
upon in publio affairs. He Is one of the
highest standing of the graduates of Yale,
and hla original powers, perfect Integrity
and courage and correct Instincts, aa well
as thorough Information, have made him
useful, won for him the friendships and
enmities most complimentary, and opened
for" him a career that haa the highest
promise of great distinction." Chicago

NEW STYLE OF PARTNERSHIP
Fox Terrier Formally Introduced a
the To." of a Business
Firm.
It has been so often repeated that It has
come to be general? believed that there is
nothing new under the sun. In a large
sense there may be some basis for the
statement, but when it cbmes to the details
ot tbe world's happenings theie U, every
now and then, an Incident, which by no
possibility could ever have tiansplicd be
fore. We read of Caligula's having created
bia horse a consul, but never till our time
waa It heard of that a maa took his dug
Into legal partnership in his buslneiu.
Thla la what has Happened in Newark,
N. J., where Mr. Frank Michael Weller,
real estate aad insurance broker, has taken
out a aworn certificate of partnership,
under the firm name and style of F. M.
Weller & Co., the Co. consisting ot Mr.
Weller's fox terrier, Tasels. When this ap
plication reached the court house for filing,
the municipal authorities couid find no
law against it, and a certificate of partner
ship was duly Issued. Tassels, whlcn by tne
way, seems a remarkable name for a d)g,
ao wholly without hirsute adornment as the
fox terrier, will doubtless prove a valuable
member of the firm. He will keep all
tramps and loafers away from the office
and will guard property of clients left
there with vigilance, courage, and fidelity,
and It is not impossible that he may ex
ercise a persuasive influence on occasion,
over reluctant, tardy and recalcitrant Uebi
ors. Dogs are such good Judges of charac
ter that It may well be, too, that his al
titude toward applicants for loans and In
surance will prove of great value in de
termining their worthiness. On the whole,
It la apparent that Mr. Weller might have
a much less useful and valuable partner.
8hepherds have long had collie dogs for
partners, and when It comes to organ
grinders and monkeys. It is a question
which is the head of-the firm. Washington

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Council Will Have the Jail Problem
to Wrestle with Tonight.
CONTRACTORS FIGURE ON WORK
Situation Is Becomlnst Aeate, as Police
Judge Will Sentence o More
Prisoners to the Old
Jail.
Among the items of Importsnce outside
of flrtanceg the city council will have to
grapple again with the city jail problem.
Bids are to be received toninht for the
repair of the Jail. It Is und-rtood that
a number of companies are bidding for the
work. The Paxton ft Vlerling Iron works
a week ago had an informal bid. C. L.
Carpenter, a local contractor, in also In
the field, tt will cost between ISO) and $W
to put the Jail In shape. The police de
partment Is becoming more Insistent In Its
demand that .better end more sanitary
quarters be provided at once. The old Jail
has such a weak wall that any prisoner
of Ingenuity could easily break It In an
hour unless locked In the one steel cage.
Various attempts have been made recently
and lacked Utile of being successful. ,
The police Judge has given notice that
lie' will sentence no more prisoners to the
present Jail, but If the case demands atten
tion he will sentence the prisoners to the
county Jail. Ordinary drunks probably will
bo uniformly dismissed. This state of af
fairs will be impressed on the city council,
but It Is well known tliat the administration
and all the counellinen are doing every
thing they can to advance the work and
complete the repairs. V
In respect to finances, the city council
will have to arrange for the payment of
the assessors and deputies of the tax com
missioner. Thrlr work is now completed.
Children's Day Services.
Three South Omaha churches, at least,

Sunday evening. Both houses were crowded
In spite of the lowering weather. The chil

place, with the usual short pastoral ad

A Booster's Boost for
Boosted Ills Plana
Success.
Church
There Is a prosperous merchant In Chi
cago today who owes his success to his
donation of a 15.000 organ to a church at
a time when he didn't have money enough
to buy a hand organ. This donation was a
case of bluff, pure and simple, but the
bluff worked and resulted In the subse
quent wealth of the lucky bluffer.
John Smith was seeking capital to start
In business' for himself, but aa he had no
security worth speaking of he could not
borrow the money he Reeded.
When he had tried every person he could
think of who would be likely to have the
necessary cash and the Inclination to lend
It and had been turned down, he conceived
the Idea of presenting his church with an
organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith therefore or
dered his organ and allowed the future to
look out for Itself. The manufacturers of
the organ never thought of questioning the
financial standing of the philanthropist
who was handing out $5,000 organs, and
agreed to have the Instrument set up In
the church on time.
Of course, J. Smith was not a bud that
was born to blush unseen, nor did he hide
his beneficence under a bushel. He man
aged to bring in at least the flute stops no
matter what subject of the conversation.
Not only did the young Napoleon advertise
himself by means of the church organ, but
the plcasqd minister and the equally
pleased congregation spread the news ot
his gift.
During this time John did not allow any
alfalfa to grow under his feet. On the pre
tense of consulting some wealthy member
of the congregation about some minor de
tails of the organ he would drop Into an,
office, and before he left casually would
mention the subject of the company that he
was forming. Moat of the men that he
thus saw thought that it would be a good
thing to be associated with a man who was
making so mucli money that he maa able
to hand out 15.000 without missing tt, so
that all were anxious to take stock in J,
Smith's company.
Long before the time came for the first
payment on the organ Smith had gathered
enough money to start his business and
was doing .so well he had no difficulty in
borrowing the amount needed to make the
payment. From that time he has made
money so fast that now he could give away
several 13, o") organs and pay for them as
well. Chicago Tribune.

Words that Break. Spell of Painful
Tension in Polioe Court
GRAVE RESULT IN BALANCE
Over Possession of One , Soap Box
Grim Faces, Tense .erres and
Silent Tssfsn Await
Mighty Decree.
The police court waa again converted Int6
an international arbitration board and Car
negie temple of peace Monday morning
when the fierce contention which ragea be
tween Mrs. Mary Johnson and Mrs. Emma
l'eike was taken up.
Mrs. Johnson lives at Nineteenth atreet
and Fowler avenue, while Mrs. Feike re
sides with her husband and children a block
away at Ninteenth street and Grand ave
nue, both of which places are on the bot
toms north of Amea avenue.
Mrs. Feike, a small woman, with a baby
In her arms, shrilly Inveighed against Mra
Johnson, who stood with large and stolid
German avoidupnls and listened unmoved.
The Johnson-Felke vendetta haa smoul
dered many weeks, but It burst into flams
last Friday, when Mrs., Johnson came, to
the house of Mrs. Feike and accused her
of attallng one (11 soap box, the said soap'
box being the property of Mi . Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson alleged In courT that sht
came home In her buggy and eaw'the Felkt
woman take the box from her property.
The box, she said, she was accustomed to
use as a seat while engaged In milking her
cow. When she rescued the box Mrs.
Fi Ike had already crushed It into kindling
wood, she said, and never again could it
be used as a seat.
Mrs. Feike denied these allegations with
scorn. She said she found the soap box
on her own lot already In a bruised condi
tion. She said she hadn't set foot on Mrs.
Johnson's lot for many months. She
wouldn't set foot on It. She didn't want
nothing to do with her.
It was a weighty moment In police court
when all the testimony was In. such a mo
ment as prevailed In the French assembly
when the vote was being taken whether to
depose Ixuia XVI. The pen of the court
scratched. What would be the decision?
A hundred hearts thumped madly, a hun
dred heads seemed to burst with tha pound
ing of the blood In 300 temples, strong
men gritted their teeth, women clenched
thetr bunds until .the nails bit Into tho
palms. Would tlw Judge never speak?
Would the anxious crowd never know to
whom the soap box was to be given?
The pen ceases to scratch. The Judge
presses a blotter over the words which he
has written upon the complaint, those
words so portentous. He raises his faco,
haggard with the depth of hla thought.
His dry lips part aa he speaks.
"Fine "er fi and costs."

At last one of the ushers spoke to her.
"Pardon me, madam." he said, "but X

"I'll remove It. sir," she snapped, as she
