The annual convention ' of the Douglas

held Monday afternoon and evening, Sep
tember 1, In the Young Men's Christian as
aoclatlon assembly hall, Omaha. You are
urged to be present and to have your school
represented by . regularly . appointed dele
gates. There are two reasons for selecting
this particular date, says President O. a.
Wallace, who Issues this statement:
First, It Is Labor day. a legal holiday,
and we believe many who cannot usually
attend day session in such a convention
can be present on this holiday. Particu
larly urge your men to take advantage of
this rare opportunity to learn some of the
beat and newest things In the development
of Sunday school work.
Another reason for the selection of this
date is that we can then have at the even
. Ing session the presence of Mr. Marlon
Lawrence, general secretary of the Inter
national Sunday School association, who
will pass through our city at that time
and give ua an evening. This is a rare op
portunity to hear the best known and best
loved Bunday school worker in the world
It Is seldom that he meets with a locai
convention, his continent-wide and world
wide duties crowding his time. Be sure

great worn. f

ticularly urged to come.

the expenses of our work be met. Election
of officers tor the ensuing year will be

Remember this Is an organisation of Sun
day school workers, without regard to de
'nomlnatlonal lines or ecclesiastical distinc
tion. It recognises the fact that all Chris
tiana have one platform upon which thw
can stand the spiritual needs of the child
and that In the Sunday school we have
a common text book, the same problems
and like needs. Through organisation we
' more easily secure the beat help. We find
an opportunity to compare experiences, ax.
change methods and receive encouragement

DIVORCE GR0UJTDS NOT PROVES
eh Is the Rallnst af Jadse Kea-
edr. Whe Dlamleaes the Case
with Coats to the
Colonel.
Mrs. Julia M. Pratt's plea for a divorce
nd Colonel James H. Pratt's counter-plea
for a divorce were denied by Judge Ken
nedy of the district court Saturday, and
the relations so far as the law Is concerned
between man and wife, are precisely what
they were before ths prolonged law suit be
gan.
Mrs. Pratt brought suit for divorce more
than a year ago, alleging three separate
causes agalnet her husband, cruelty in not
paying her bills and properly providing for
her, habitual drunkeness and his sged con
dition. Any of these sustained It was
hown, would bo sufflclervt.
In regsrd to the annoyance caused Mr.
Pratt by her husband's refusing to pay his
bills, ths court found that the facts were
not strongly enough established and that,
lthourh the colonel was Droved to be an
habitual drinker, he was not necessarily
n habitual drunkard.
Mrs. Pratt also alleged certain relations
between her husband and a woman of Bern
son, but these ths Judge held were not
proved.
All the costs of the case were charged to
the defendant. Colonel Pratt, and an addi
tion! 11,000 was awarded the plaintiff's at
torneys, Vlnsonhaler and Brome. This
makes In all 81. 500 lawyers' fees which thd
defendant win ' have 'to' pay for his Wife's
case.
Not the Slightest Love.
"The marriage has been unhappy from
Its Inception," said Judge Kennedy, "as
ths plaintiff admitted In this case that she
had not the slightest love for her husband,
but desired merely to get financial advan
tage for herself and her children. Such
marriages profane the most sacred rela
tion ot our human society and are a
scandal and a disgrace to ths community.
The ground offered by the plaintiff were
not sufficiently' proved to constitute cause
for divorce and as the original petition Is
dented, the cross-petition resting upon
practically the same grounds, must be also
denied. The evidence has shown that al
though the defendant may have done many
of the things, the plaintiff never professed
any love for the defendant, and as she
asked only money from him and condoned
his offenses as long as he provided for
her, she has no Just cause for complaint.
The yoke Is doubtless galling' to both par
ties, but the marriage contract Is not like
other contracts and cannot be so lightly
broken."
General John C. Cowln, attorney for
James H. Pratt, expressed himself as well
satisfied with tha decision in spite of the
denial of his cross-petition for divorce,
but he entered an exception to the award-
ng of S1.0O0 additional attorney s fees to
Mrs. Pratt's attorneys.
Mrs. Pratt filed a suit for a definition or
her property rights and provision for sep
arate maintenance when Who entered her
original divorce petition, but this was dls
missed as a part ot the divorce proceed
Ings and has not been refiled as a separate
action.
THOUSANDS LOOK TO THE U. P
Seven Per Cent et . Omaha's Popula
tion liepeadent oat Pay Checks
et I'nfon Paelfle.
Seven per cent ot the, people of Omsha
are directly dependent upon the pay checks
received from the Union Pacific railroad,
according to absolute, figures prepared by
A. L. . Mohler, . vice president andxgeneral
manager of the Union Pacific. '
- For his own Information Mr. Mohler has
had a careful canvass made of the em
ployes of the Union Pacific In Omaha
Council Bluffs and South Omaha, finding
from each employe Just how many persons
were directly dependent upon him and the
figures show a grand total of H.SU.
The figures In detail are:
Omaha 9 814
Council Bluffs 2,2s8
South Omaha 1--
Total 1?.S43
Mr. Mohler says he thinks the figures
make a remarkable allowing especially at
this time when the number on the pay
roll of the Union Pacific la down to low
ebb, much lower than a year ago. The
list Includes the shop employes, trainmen
headquarters men and in fact all depart
ments of the Union Pacific railroad, the
principal headquarters of which are In
Omaha.
When the canvass tor these figures wers
triads It was really surprising how many
people a household contained In many
caaea. The wife and the children and the
servant makes general avenge of over
five for rcb employs.

OSKALOO.SA, la.. Aug 18. Heavy rain
tall, amounting to a cloudburst, visited thl
section today. More than four Inches ot
rain fell. Kock Island tralna are Sclav ed
Joints. In sit probability these old people
would have ben In their graves veers be
fore but for this very rheumatism.
The reason Is that If rheumatism Is In the
system It keeps other Ills out. It mnkes a
grand fighting force, and keeps most other
enemies of the human frame at bay, es
pecially those of the germ type.
Very naturally. If you have such a grand
friend at hand, you have to pay something
for aid rendered; but the pain of rehuma-
tism. If shockingly severe at times, is not
eadly, and that Is why one gets so little
sympsthy when suffering from rheuma
tism.
But the plain fact Is that a slight malady
lways benefits you, even if indirectly. As
n exsmple of that, say a very bad spell
of weather comes along, cold and wet, and
you contract a slight chill.
What do you propose to do? Why. to
ake the greatest care of yourself and
make as certain as possible that your cold
gets no chance of developing Into anything
worse. Now, did that very slight cold not
mnka its appearance and cause you to be
extremely careful of what you did there is
nn saying what might happen to you any
day during a spell of evil, cold weather.
You might have exposed yourself so much
that a severe chill would have seized you,
followed by Inflammation of the lungs.
Accordingly, a slight cold may easily stve
you from many worse Ills.
In this way minor afflictions act as
warnings that worse things are coming
long, but, unfortunately, many persons
ulte neglect these warnings. A msn, for
example, has Indigestion more or less con
stantly, yet pays little ha1, always ex
pecting that It will disappear one day.
Now, If he had. Just paid attention to the
matter at the beginning, heeded the warn
ing, in short, he might not have been let
In for a severe liver attack later on.
Every pain, every ache, every headache
11 these are warnings that something else
s on the way and will be along shortly.

TIPS ON COMING EVENTS
Some Common Hainan Aliments Con.
aldered Benenelal te the
Victim.
To be struck down by disease seems a
most undesirable thing, yet there are many
living today In the fullest enjoyment of
very excellent health who,' but for an at-
ack of some disease, would have lived a
life ef almost perpetual misery.
These people were, first of all, victims of
ndlgestlon In Its worst form, ana only
those who have experienced It know what
true indigestion Is. Struck down by ty
phold fever, they came through the trying
ordeal cured of Indigestion, for one out
standing eccentricity of typhoid Is that, if
you pass through an attack safely, it gives
you a new stomach. In fafct. after an at
tack of typhoid the victim la usually left
with stomach like an Infant.
That Is tha grand chance offered to one
who has suffered. It msy be, for long years
from acute Indigestion; if only he takes
care, after an attack of typhoid, he need
never know Indigestion again.
Be It remembered, that any one troubled
with severe Indigestion is not sdvlsed to
go hunting around for typhoid fever. That
might prove to be a disastrous course to
follow!
A chronic cold Is Just one of those things
whloh none of us wsnt, yet even a chronic
cold haa Its good points, more especially If
you happen to be up In years a bit nut too
old, ot course. People who sre up In years,
snd who suffer from chronic bronchitis.
m to get remarkably well. It keeps the
blood In good circulation, for, of course, the
victims have to cough, snd that givjs the
heart a Jerk and sends the blood coursing
nicely through the veins snd arteries.
If the cold be not too acute, old people
derive considerable benefit. An acute
tack, on the other hand, may cut off an
old person In a day or two. It Is the
chronic type only which yields benefit.
Smallpox Is a dreaded scourge; so much
so that, If It he reported that a case exists
In a neighborhood, a thrill passes through
the whole community.
Yet those who suffer from smallpox, and
recover, usually live to a green old age. It
seems to renew life In some mysterious wsy
by thoroughly purifying the blood.
If, however, you desire to sttaln to
ripe old age, you cannot get on at all with
out rheumatism. Consider the hosts of old

SIIERCLIFF imi TO OMAHA
Foiled at Escape, Report It He
Writes to Elmer E. Thomas:
REDICK LETS THE BID GO IN
Says Hitchcock's Prlntlnar Proposal
Dial ?Tot Hrark Council
Too Late.
Judge nedlck of the district court In the
mandamus suit of the Bee PublNhlnK com
pany to compel ths clly council to deliver
the contract for the city's official printing
decides the bid of ths World-Herald may
till be Considered.
In answer ta ths -contention of Th lice
that its bid was ths only one before the
eouncil at the proper time and therefore
was entitled to the contract the decision
ays:
I'ntll the council takes some affirmative
action looking toward the letting of the
contract bidders Have no legal rights
Which the court will protect.
The court decided that the statute In
providing that the bids should be enn-
Idered at the meeting of the council In
tended to mean the first "regular" meeting
snd that for this reason the adjourned
meeting July 1, at which The Boe's bid
was presented, was not a proper occasion.
The action of the city clerk In sending
back the bid of the 'World-Herald was de
cided by the court to be outside of his
authorltty, ss all bids submlted before the
contract Is actually awarded are to be
considered as valid.
TRIAL IS EARLY HI SEPTEMBER
Famous Pollock Diamond Bobber
Mast Face Charge of Murder
Thomas Refnsea to Dls
cass the Blatter.
"I will not say that I am or am rftt
going to Leadville, Colo., In response to a
letter from Shercllff, asking me to come,"
asserted Elmer E. Thomas in reply to an
Inquiry If he Intended going out to aid in
the defense of the famous Pollock dia
mond robber. "I will not say whether I
received such a letter or not," he added.
A report comes from Leadville to the ef
fect that Shercllff, who has recently been
thwarted In a skillfully devised attempt
to escape prison, wrote to Mr. Thomas to
come to his assistance before the open
ing of Ms trial for murder early in Sep
tember. Mr. Thomas, as attorney for
the Omaha Civlo Federation, secured the
release from the Iowa penitentiary of Sher
cllff or Morris after his - service there of
a long sentence for the Pollock diamond
robbery. He wanted the criminal as a wit
ness in the Dennison trial at Red Oak snd
encountered no difficulty In gaining his
release. Of course, Shercllff gave tha de
sired testimony at that trial, which
resulted, however, in Dennlson's ac
quittal, and was afterward retained in
the state of Iowa and persistently
withheld from the various states de
manding his ' presence upon numerous
charges. Ultimately he wandered beyond
ths boundaries of Iowa, was captured in
Wisconsin and taken to Colorado to stand
trial for murder. California and .Okla
homa both put in bids for him at ths time,
but hs was knocked off to Colorado.
Shercllff Foiled at Escape.
Information has reached Omsha of a des
perate but futile attempt by BherclHf to
escape the Leadville prison the other day.
The sheriff and a deputy were making a
round of the prison when In a toilet room
they discovered ths merest fragment of a
wire protruding through the floor. Exami
nation disclosed the fact that this wire
beld suspended through the flooring and
celling In ths room bolow certain utensils
wiy whJch jail-breakers sre familiar.
At once suspicion was directed toward
Shercllff. Tha officers went to his cell
and confronted him with the accusation.
He denied it. They pressed the charge and
he reiterated his denial. Then they began
a search of his cell. They found a soap
Impression of a key and then a key made
from a broom handle and then a saw file.
All these things being the tools or the
burglar and . Jall-breaksr, the hard wood
key being the exact fit to the door of
Sher'cllff's cell and the outer corridors
leading to God's glorious out-of-doors, to
gether with the strangs fact that they were
found In Mr. Bhercllffs possession, were
regarded by the officers ss such strong cir
cumstantial evidence that they told Mr.
Shercllff they found It extremely difficult
to accredit his indignant denial of their
accusation. ,
And then It was tha officers cams into
possession of ths fact, as reported, that
Mr. Shercllff had penned a few lines to
Mr. Thomas, the man who got him out of
the Iowa prison. What those lines con
tained, whether they were merely ot a
social nature or business, could not be
learned from Mr. Thomas and the Colorado
officials sre publishing no secrets. Mr.
Shercliff's trial, however. Is set for early
In September.
Incidentally this budget of information
from Colorado also contains tha report
that an officer from Minnesota took a ride
on ths train out to Leadville the other
day, presented his compliments to the ex
ecutive authorities of that commonwealth
and asked to be allowed to escort the dis
tinguished Mr. Shercllff back to the North
Star atate. The request was peremptorily
declined. The Mlnnesotan promised to give
Mr. Shercllff a residence in his stats of
forty years If all the charges pann.d out.
and yet Colorado said no.
