All form of constipation, bowel or intes
tlnsi Initial twt most of their origin to the
Improper digestion of food. Tho bowels
measure 10 feet The Inside walls or sur
faces ate wound lightly about with millions

trol million of little mouth or suckers
whlrh are supposed to take nourishment
from the food aa It leaves the stomach and

When Indigestion, dyspepsia or stom:.eh
trouble occur, the food being undigested,
peeses over these million of tnoutha. It la

The little mouths suck It up. Impart these
Impiititlea to the blood. Impregnate the little
nerves wltb poison and sq the work of con
stitution and bowel trouble begins.
A natural Juice or secretion belongs nor-H
rnally In the little cells and glands along

or bcwel. When Indigestion occurs this
Julo Is lacking and ' so the mass of
waste matter cannot- pass along as It
should snd Is plied up and caked In tho
bowel, thus bringing pain and misery.
After a while the nerves and nerve centers
which give vigor and life to the bowel be
come psrslizert, thus forever prohibiting the
howvl from performing Its natural duties.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets, when taken
after meals, digests the food properly even
though the stomach Is nick and it passes to

The stomach Is the cause. Common sense
and si lence are one on this point. You see

'Canon Hell comes on. the stand with tho

be an unwilling witness." ald W. J. Con
nell, attorney for J. J. Wrtmore. charged
with attempted .bribery ut City Prosecutor
Daniel, on trlHl In tho district court. Cnn
liell made violent attacks on the veracity
of the testimony Of Rev. R. B. H. Roll,
former rmtor. of the Episcopal Church of
the CJood Shepherd, applying a severe term
to characterize his meaning.
An attack on City Prosecutor Daniel only
less vindictive than the -one on Bell was
another prominent portion of the remarks
by the attorney for the defense.
The case Is neiirlng Its conclusion. Con

County Attorney lOncllsh was then to close
for the state unit the Jury wjll get the case
In all probability late this afternoon. For
the prosecution Assistant County Attorney
Coad opened with a well-proportioned re
view of the evidence against Welmnra and
an attack on what he called the fllmslness
of the defense. ' Attorney Weaver for Wet
more followed him and then came Mr. Con
ncll's invective.
Says Daniel Is Ambitlonai
After suggesting that Daniel was anl
rriatccLhy a dvslro. to make a name for him
self rather than serve the public and with
the hope of getting the position, now hold
by English, Connell turned to th" evidence
of the clergymen and up till noon occupied
himself with Canon Bell. Dean Beccher
was not specifically treated by him beforo
adjournment. '
"Here are these preachers engaged in
this crusade," said the lawyer, "and so far
as their activities are in connection with
the Juvenilo court I have no criticism to
offer. But when men of their position and
station in life act as they have and as Is
shown by their own testimony 1 think 1
have some right to take exception. I be
lieve in and respect the cloth. I believe In
and honor the clergy and 1 do particularly
esteem and reverence tho Catholics for
their sincerity and honor and 1 have a
high respect for the Catholic priests, who
would let their arms burn from the tip of
finger to shoulder rather than reveal the
secrets of the confessional.
"Hut has It come to this, thai when a
person goes to clergymen like these two,
to men wearing the cross and sworn by
holy vows, the clergyman is to determine
for himself whether It Is a voluntary state
ment or a secret of the confessional '.'"
After speaking of the secrecy practiced
by lawyers and doctors with regard to
client's confidences, Mr. Connell returned
to the clergy and exclaimed:
"Thank Ood, secrets are kept 6 far as
the Catholic church is concerned, and It is
with regret that we find 11 different here
on the part of Protestants."
Faith of the Jurors.
At this point spectatot8 wore moved to
Inquire of each other as to the religious
complexion of tho Jury and discovered that
nominally at least a considerable variety
of faiths and sects ate represented.
"If these preachers," shouted thn
speaker, "would only follow In tho foot
steps of tho Dlvino Teacher Instead of fol
lowing false gods, there would bo fewer
empty pews on Sunday mornings, If the
preachers would only follow the meek and
lowly Jesus Instead of Elmer Thomas,

llo characterized him as "coming here
reeking with gengeful spirit. Ignoring the
lesson taught by tho Master in the tlarden
wllh Mary Magdalene." Mr. Connell then
went over in detail that famous scene.
Turning back to Mr. Hell 'he criticised his
testimony In many particulars and
while talking of tho cross-examination
termed him "an artful dodger."
Twice more during his address Connell

WOMAN STRIKES FOOTPAD
Pnncbes 111m In the Month When
lie Accost Iter on street
' at tght.
A young woman connected ' with one of
the federal departments Is the heroine of
an incident transpiring on Seventeenth
street between Cass and California streets
about 9 o'clock Monday evening, which
shows that she Is amply able to take care
of herself In an emergency.
She was returning from an entertainment
at Unity church and was on her way
home, when a rather tough looking man
stepped out from the darkness of tho alley
and Impertinently accosted her. The young
woman, Instead of screaming or running,
struck her assailant squarely In the mouth
with her fist, slightly Injuring her hand
by the Impart and brought blood. The
man wiped the blood from his mouth and
disappeared down the alley.
Tho young woman, who asks that her
name be withheld, said:
"I would not even have called attention
to the matter but for the fact that It might
put young women on their guard when
they happen to be alone on the street after
dark. I believe a little presence of mind
displayed when accosted by strangers is
much belter than showing fear.
"No, I did not report the case to the
police, because. 1 did not wish to seek any
notoriety. It is possible that the man was
drunk and I think his intention was robbery."
M'KEEN CASE COMES UP. SOON
Dlroree Proceedings Will Begin In
the District Court Be
fore Long.
The suit for divorce brought by Mrs. W.
R. McKeen against her husband probably
will be tried In a short time. Those in a
position to have absolute Knowledge de
clared Tuesday that "the case will come up
shortly."
Tho return from the east Tuesday of W.
P. Gurley of counsel for McKeen does not
discredit the statement. When the case
does come up, and It may this week, it will
not bo tried before a crowded court room
and to the general public, the issuing of a
decree, if there Is one, will bo about the
extent of Information vouchsafed.
Mr. McKeen la the president of 'the Mc
Keen Motor Car company and was until n
short time ago superintendent of motive
rower and machinery for the I'nlon Pa
cific. Mrs. McKeen Is the daughter of
General New of Indiapapolis and a brother
to Harry C. New who, until the rise of
Frank Hitchcock, was chairman of the re
publican national committee.
"Extreme cruelty," was the charae made
by the plaintiff in her petition, though fur

SPAQNOLA AND JACOB ARE SAD
Italian Lovers Beaten In First Ronnd
In Contest with Statute of
.Nebraska.
'The course of true love, proverbially
lugged, struck an unusually harsh snag at
the court house when Spagnola Gaetanan
and Jacob Pltlpone were refused a license
to wed.
To -alleviate any harassing uncertainty
about the matter it may be stated at once
that Jacob and Spagnola saw the light of
day' In Italy. They are both of legal age,
neither Is married and Jacob well enough
off to support Spagnola in the "style, to
which she has been accustomed."
But there Is one other condition which
caused tho cancellation of the license after
it had been half filled out. It developed
that the pair are first cousins and the law
of the sovereign state of Nebraska opposes
such consanguineous nuptials so to speak.
Incidentally had the pair secured ' the li
cense they could not hava been married In
the church of their ancestral faJtli which
lias put a ban on the marriage of those
not farther removed in relationship than
first cousins.

opinion that the fire was caused by rats

fective wiring Is shown in the condition
of the wires, which, after the fire, wers
in place and In go"d condition, not even
touching one another, the electrician says.
"And, to clinch the argument," said Mr,
Michaelsen, "the electric current had been
turned off three hours before the fire oc
curred, and when turned on at the time
of the fire every light In the house burned,
which could not have been the case had

Orders for various defendants in the
Oklahoma town lots cases, in whi--h Gov
ernor Haskell's name has figured, have

to appear before the V'nited States circuit
court for the western district of Oklahoma,
to answer In equity suits to remove en
cumbrances or clouds from certain titles
to Indian landa In the vicinity of Muskogee.
The suits bear several titles in which a
host of persons are made parties defendant
as innocent Investors In the town lots and

the cases. These numerous defendants
Include residents of Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansan, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Texas.
In the case of two or three Nebraska de
fendants upon whom service lias Just been
rendered through the office of the I'nlted

Nome Nebraska Victims.
One of the Nebraska defendants cited to
appear In the case Monday night Is J. P.
Falter of Plattamouth. Mr. Falter stated
that he was Inveigled Into tho scheme and
exchanged five pieces of his Plattamouth
property for some of the Okluhoma lands,
and later discovered on Investigation that
one of the pieces of property transferred
to him In Oklahoma was the property of a
6-month-old Indian child and another piece
belonged to an aged Indian, neither of
whom were legally qualified to make any
transfer of property. Consequently he at
once set to work to secure an abrogation
of the contract and after much difficulty
ar.d considerable expense got his Platta
mouth property back and washed his hands
of the whole affair.
Another Nebraska investor is a Mr. Rodg
era of Wymore, who was similarly de
fra'Jded, and secured an abrogation of his
contract and recovered his Nebraska prop
erty. Mr. Falter expresses his willingness
to assist In unravelling the tangle and the
prosecution of the Oklahoma holding com
pany to the extent of his financial means,
and has no hesitancy In denouncing the
gross character of the fraud.
It appears that the more tho matter is
gone Into that the more it seems to be
honeycombed with the grossest fraud and
may develop Into one of the most vulossal
land frauds of recent 'years.
The government In summoning t lie Ne
braska and other parties as parties defend
ant Is merely to establish the equity phase
of the at fair,, to clear the clouds on the
title to 1 1 iu Indian lands and thereby get
at the actual offendeis.

Facts Are I'nknown.
In the future shoe dealers arc to tell the
truth about the sizes of womens' shoes.
Notice that no adulteration in the sites
of women's shoes will be allowed or recog
nised, has been received by local dealers
from the National Boot and Shoe Manu
facturers association, which has just closed
a session in New York City. During the
session the question was taken up as to
whether dealers could remark the slses
in lines of shoes that women may wear
any siie shoe which they desire, regardless
of the sice indicated by the manufacturer's
signs.
Some dealers who have been selling
shoes to women without vanity and
large understandings in Omaha for a
quarter of a century never heaid of the
practice until they received the
notices Monday morning. b-it many
dealers had not only heaid of II,
but In a whisper be It spoken had actu
ally "marked down the shoes," menning
they had converted 6-Ds into D-As. Thus
a a woman actually required a 7-EK and
did not want her friends to know It, she
fitted the shoe and the dealer marked it
afterwards "3-AA."
The news from the New York convention,
which represented ItfO.OOO.OOO of shoemskers'
capital, exposed a gigantic fraud In Omaha.
For years the women are said to hsve been
In a conspiracy with the shoe dealers to
keep down the average sire of a woman's
foot hi Omaha and thus the city "which sit
test at the gat- to the west" has ranked
next to Atlantic City in the average size

City women won nineteenth place In the
list of cities where women have the smallest
teet.' supposedly by the same method, which
la similar to "trading checks" to swell the
bank clearings, as Kansas City people ara
accused of doing.
"It Is a mistake to ask the dealers to
cease falsifying the sizes of women's
shoos,' said a Farnam street dealer. "Many
women come In here with a No.. 9 foot, but
we do not dare tell them that the shoes we
are fitting are No. 9. We say 'these are a
new shape and a largo No. 3-A,' and we sell
the shoes. Say 'these are No. -D' and the
customer Is lost. Then to make toot w
stamp the size the woman wants to wear
In the shoes and she goes away with smaller
feet. It Is simply a matter of discretion,
which the manufacturers need not bother
about."
"What in the average actual size shoe
worn by the women of Omaha?" the dealer
was asked.
"The blue book says 2-A."
"But tho false figures were given to the
blue book, what does the actual record
say?"
"Jt was destroyed In the fire In the Kai-
