In support of his request for the In

tha office force, Deputy Commissioner Mau
pln submits tha following:
In submitting this estimate for the bu
rsau of labor and indujrtri&l statistics for
the blennium beginning April 1. 1909, T de
alre to rr.ak a few explanations and give
tn brief the work outlined under the
tatul? fur thla department to perform.
It will bo observed that the Increase bsked
for Is tn nmount tlljrt over the appropria
tion for the hiennlum ending April 1. 1W9.
but I believe that a eturty of the facts will
show thut tha Increase asked Is war
ranted. I'ndcr the statutes It Is the duty of this
bureau to collect, collate nnd publlsli all
Industrial statistics, all crop snd agricul
tural estimates and statistics, enforce the
fire escape and sanitary laws, enforce the
rhlld labor and female employment laws,
assist In enforcing the Juvenile and com
pulsory education laws snd main
tain free employment bureau. Thus,
It. will be seen, this bureau is ex
pected to cover work which. In other states,
notably Missouri, Kansas. Iowa and Min
nesota. Is performed bv two bureaus, labor
end itgrtculture. In the states named the
two bure.tus combined hae total appro
priations thst are from eight to ten timet
larger than the present appropriation for
the Nebraska bureau, snd from four to
six times larger than the appropriation
eskd for the ensuing hiennlum.
What Other States Do.
The Missouri bureau of libor. having ab-eMut.-iy
nothing to do with crop eatimatea
and agricultural statistics, has a biennial
a--rop-'ation of tM.ooo.
The Kansas bureau of labor has a bien
nial appropriation for salaries alone of $22.
ym. and has nothing whatever to do with
crop estimates and agricultural statistics.
All expenses of the bureau, apart from sal
arl". are paid from the executive supply
fund. The Kansas buresu of agriculture
has a biennial appropriation of about WO.000,
with the printing of all reporta furnished
f:nm the executive council fund.
The Micsourl bureau of labor employs
an avrrsr ff twenty people. The Ne
braska biirrau is at present limited to two
bv tessoi of Inadequate appropriation. The
K;r kh bureau emplo five people. The
Vwa b' rau employs four or five, the
M'eresnf buresu employs sixteen.
With t'.ie appropriation asked for this
b:iresu w ' be ahli. to maintain fre? em
plnvni'n'. hurcajs In Omaha and Lincoln,
a" ttil be of immense benefit to tho

wane earners more money than It will cost
tn rr.aliita'n the entire bureau.

With Coffee-Insomnia and Collapse.
It seems difficult for some of us to be
good all of the time, but tt pays, after all.
Even a model school teacher, on a vaca
tlon, may drop Into excesses In the way
of overeating, late hours and black coffee
to add to th Irritation of the nervous
system.
"I am a teacher In the University," writes
a lady In Salt Laks City, "and hold a
responsible snd trying position. For months
before my collapse, I rose completely de
vitalised, but braced up on a cup of coffee.
"The summer vacation I spent tn tho
East where I participated In a whirl of
social affairs. There was scarcely an even
lng when I did not drink strong coffee and
afterwards spend hours awake.
"Finally th break-down came and I have
spent hundreds of dollars and almost two
years of suffering trying to mend It.
"Every doctor I hsd Insisted on my giv

M'VEA SAYS JHE NEEDS HELP
PlamblRB- Inspector Feels He Is Made
Scapegoat af the City
Hall.
Is there a conspiracy In the city hall to
down Harry McVea, city plumbing Inspec
tor? Mr. McVea Is loth to believe such to be
the case and points to several occasions
when h has helped his party, but th fact
remains that the plumbing inspector has
been slighted by his fellow democrats.
The first slam at that official came when
the council, in making up the appropria
tions the first of the year, refused to allow
the plumbing Inspector a raise sufficient to
employ an assistant which Mr. McVea said
was necessary.
The plumbing Inspector's department was
the only department which paid for Itself
In 1906, th expenses in all the others being
greater than the Income. The expenses of
the plumbing Inspector. Including his sal
ary, were less than half the Income.
The second slam at McVea came in the
recommendation in th proposed new char
ter of a raise In salary of $300 a year, while
the building Inspector Is raised $700. The
boiler Inspector Is also raised $300 a year
but he has an assistant and a typewriter.
while Mr. McVea must chase over to an
other office when he has a letter to write,
"I don't ar why I should be made a
scapegoat," said Mr. McVea. "No man
can say that I have not attended to my
official duties strictly, and as far as party
affiliation go I have done all I could for
my party."

B08TON. Msss., Jan. Plans for the
construction of an Independent long dis
tance telephone system from Boston to
Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., calling for an
expenditure of $5,000,000, will be perfected,
it is said, during the conference of Inde
pendent telephone company oftlcers, which
will convene In this city on Saturday next.
Financial arrangements have already been
made, according to Information at hand,
and the details of construction and opera
tion only remain to be adjusted. The
project has been under discussion since last
May and la being engineered by Max
Koehler, one of the most prominent Inde
pendent telephone men In the country, and
by H. C. Stlfel of 8t. Louis. Officers of
Independent telephone companlea generally
will be Identified with the movement.
Within the next five years, it Is ssld that
approximately J30,OOO,O0O will be Invested In
the enterprise.
A. P. Matthews, msnager of the Inde
pendent Telephone company In Omaha
said when told of the dispatch from Boston
that he knew the plans for such a line had
been under consideration for a long time,
but did not know of their completion.
"We have been too busy taking care of
the change which haa been made In the
ownership of our company to become
familiar with the plans of those In the
east who are Interested In the trunk line
plans," he said. "I do not know of any of
the officials or owners of the Omaha com
pany who will attend the session In Bos
ton. Those gentlemen who were here last
week concerned In the changes at this
point havs all left the city. I could not
say whether they went to Boston or will
be there."

One License to BOO People.
"Wa furthermore contend that no mora
licenses ought to be issued until the pro
portion Is not greater than one for each
500 of population, so that each of these
licenses would possess a very great value.
We also contend that the price paid by
the saloon keeper each year for the privil
ege of doing business should be reasonable.
We then Insist that. In. consideration of ao
valuable a license, the penalty for the
violation of law should be mandatory, and
that no discretion should be lodged with
any Judge or licensing board.
"It Is our Idea that for the. first con
viction of the violation of the law on the
part of a saloon keeper or of his employes
In the conduct of hla bualness. his license
would be suspended for a period of thirty
day, and that for the second conviction his
license should be absolutely cancelled, and
that he ahould not again be licensed to
retail liquor In th state."
Thta. Mr. Qllmor said, would solve what
la known aa th liquor problem In so far
aa the sale of alcoholic breverages is con
cerned. This problem solved the more Im
portant problem of Intemperance on the
part of th Individual could be taken up.
la conclusion the speaker said: "I am
satisfied that the time Is 'coming when
the man who becomes Intoxicated will be
treated aa a criminal and will be punished
with the utmost severity; and I, further
more, believe that the time Is coming
when the people of this country will give
up and resent what la known aa the treat
ing habit, even aa the people In Continental
Europe have done."

Judge Sears of the district court gave a
statement to the newspapers Thursday
morning In which he sets forth the asser
tion that he will break up the practice of
men applying for Jobs on juries and that
no man who aeeks such a place will be
given it. He says he adopted this course
in view of the fsct the county attorney
had occasion to charge that the first panel
In th Wetmore casa had been fixed and
he had to discharge the entire panel.
"I hava Issued peremptory orders," said
the Judge, "calculated to atop this thing."
Judge Bears had two men before him who
were concerned in the Wetmore case and
to them he said some definite things.
"I shall Instruct the next grand Jury to
see that the laws ar strictly enforced,"
declared Judge Sears. "A grand jury will
nbt be impanelled until after the legisla
ture has concluded and until that body
shall have had a chance to act."
"I have submitted reporta of the three
grand juries of th last year to th out
going and Incoming governors and both
houses of th legislature," said Judge
Sears, "and Informed them of conditions
her. I shall not call a grand Jury now,
because th legislatur may have a desire
to express Itself on th matter in th
meantime, but to next body of th kind

CIGAR MEN JFACE TROUBLE
More of Their Warn May Re Seised
by Revenue Offlelal Beeanse of
Tax nellnqaency.
A number of seliures of cigars have
been made In the Omaha revenue agent's
division during the current week for tax
violations and others are likely to follow.
The law requires that cigars weighing less
than three pounds per thousand are sub
ject to a lax of 54 cents per thousand,
and those weighing over three pounds per
thousand are taxabU at $3 per thousand.
The selsures have been made of cigars
weighing over three pounds per thousand,
upon which the 64 cents tax had been
paid only. All such cigars are liable to
seizure.
The fault Is attributed to the manufac
turers of the cigars, who are liable to
heavy fine for putting them on the market.
Dealers handling these short weight cigars
are also liabl to the loss of their cigars
through selsure by the government and
will be put to heavy expense.
Only a few seizures have thus far been
made in Nebraska, b it a number of such
seizures have occurred within the last sev
eral days In Iowa and South Dakota.

$200 in Prizes 'Awarded
Some time ago we offered to give
$200 In prizes for the best advertise
ments for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and In response received so many sam
ple advertisements that It bas taken
our Committee several weeks to read
them and make the selctions.
The Prizes have been awarded as
follows:
First Prize $100.
to J. R. Blake of 1141 Myrtle Ave..
Baltimore.
Second Prize $50.
to E. C. Countryman of 414 Dlllaye
Bldg., Syracuse.
Third Prize $25.
to W. S. Curdy of 73 Journal Bldg-.
Boston.
Fourth Prize $10
to W. J. Austin of 6 Berwick Park.
Boston.
Fifth Prize $10.
to J. M. Plunket, of 7 Doane St.,
Boston.
Sixth Prize $5.
to W. W. Westerly of 668 M Fulton
St., Brooklyn.
So far as we know each one of the
prize winners Is an amateur artist and
this goes to show what latent ability
we may have stored away in our make
up unknown to ourselves.
The great secret In writing ad ad
vertisement Is in knowing what you
are writing about, then make a plain
statement of facts the same as if you
were telling a friend of some event.
To write a good advertisement
about Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey a
person should know the effect it has
on nervous and run-down cases, and
in cases of cold, bronchitis and lung
trouble.
One can then realize the strength
ening effect it has on body, brain and
nerve, and the aid it gives to the vital
forces, thus enabling a person to write
with a clear mind a concise forceful
argument.
We are always ready to purchase at
what it ia worth any good idea or ad
vertisement that is sent us by any
readers of this paper. Duffy Malt

OMAHA IS FORTUNATE
Haa On of the Oreattat Spwlallsta In
America,
Dr. Mllen of Our City Ia Gaining a
World-Wide Reputation.
When w say there ar hut few great
specialists in America, of whom Dr.
Theodore Milen of our city la on, w do
not wish to confer the Idea that they are
the only good physicians In this country. .
There are a great many fin and capable
physicians all over the United States, of
which Omaha is blessed with many.
What we mean by the greatest specialists
Is that they are recognised as authority
on any and all forms of chronic diseases
and men who confine their practice
strictly to chronic and long-standing ail
ments of the human body.
Thero are a great many physicians who
style themselves as specialists, who treat
only some one organ, such aa the heart,
lung or eye. But a really true specialist,
such as Dr. Theodore Mllen, who has spent
the best years of hla life preparing him
self to be the master of all chronic dis
eases. Is not to be classed with the ordi
nary doctors who spend a few months In
some one school or studies under some
old fcmlly physician, using his old, musty
books that teach him th old ideas that
were used a hundred years ago Ideas
that are long past recognition by the
bright, up-to-date man who haa long
thirsted for knowledge to learn how he
himself and others might lle. The com
mon mlatake of thia age of hurly-burly la
for the young men with high ambition to
tire of preliminary work and rush Into
the vertex of actual buslnesa or profes
sional work but half prepared. Choose
your doctor wisely. Be sure he la a man
who thoroughly understands chronic dis
ease and your case especially. Before you
pla?e your cas do not fall to consult Dr.
Theodore Milen of the Austrlo-Amerlean
Doctors, whose Institute Is opposite the
Orpheum theater. In the Kamge Building,
on the corner of 18th and Harney. '
