A professor of medieval history would have been In his element In Judge Sesra' court. Friday morning. Argument over a motion to quash an Indictment reached clear back to fourteenth century 'decisions In England and thero was talk of King Kdward HI and the decisions of Judges ever since that worthy's time. Attorney. John H. McNeely of St. Joseph, Mo., wan principal driver Into the depth of history with regard to the common law. Ho was ai auing In behalf of John A. l'altys, who Is charged with aiding and abetting K. C. UHUam In the burglary of the Cressy shoe store In South Omaha. It Is charged that Kaltys, who was form erly, employed there, conspired with Gil liam In St. Joseph to rob the. store and furnished him with the combination of tho aft. Kaltys was Indicted as an accessory Ik fore the act and brought back here. II. B. Kleharty appeared with McNeely and Assistant County Attorney Kllick and argued against the quashing of the Indict ment. There are two questions Involved: One Is the Jurisdiction of district court of Douglas county; the other, the merit of the indictment as In respect to setting forth whore , the conspiracy took place. Mr. Kllick In reply to McNeely, who urgued the question of Jurisdiction, referred sarcastically to the far reaches whither McNeely'a argument led. 'I love old law," replied McNeeley, "I I Man Who Was Shot in the Heart is Hale and Strong Charles Urant, an . old time Nebraska telegrapher who enjoys the unique distinc tion of having been shot through the heart at Guide Itixk, Nebraska, about, fifteen years ago and still survives his wound, Is In Omaha. "When Khot I was wielding a telegraphic key and one evening while sitting oo the veranda of the Guide Rock hotel, where I was boarding, a friend and I were con versing when a noted Quida Rock tough, evidently heavily under the influence of liquor and In ' a desperate mood, approached," ald Mr. Grant. 'The tough made soma Inmiltlng remark to ua and was told to go away. He "took thla as an affront and pulled a 38-callber revllver and opened fire on me and my friend without warning. I was struck by the first shot and fell to the floor. My friend fled and the tough supposing that he had killed me also fled.

' On the question of Jurisdiction Judge Sears intimated that he would rule against counsel for Faltys. On the other hand he seemed to think the Indictment faulty In the respect Indicated and Attorney Elllck asked time to confer on this matter with the member of the county attorney's staff whe had drawn It. This was granted. If the decision should go against the state a new Information will be filed. Faltya Is related to a well known Omaha family. He Is a young man and far more intelligent and clean-cut In type than the usual prisoner at the bar. ALLEGED CONFIDENCE MAN IS SENT UP FOR THIRTY DAYS For Dot a Wotnlnar F. E.

WHLAUD SAYS MUST BE CHANGE ends Letter to Xft.OOft Men rra-laa-Co-Operation with Railroad r Against Artlon la at and National l.ea-lslatares. The Burlington Is sending out a circular containing a recent address of Vice Presi dent Daniel Wtllard, the key note cf which Is a plea that the railroads beglven a rest Is a plea that the railroads be given a rest circular will be sent to rach of the S8.000 employes of the Burlington system. Mr. .Wlllard Insists In his address that J the railroads must be given time to adjust themselves to the numerous new laws enacted during the last two or three years. He says that there are now pending In congress and In the eleven states traversed by the Burlington, 27J proposed laws regu lating railroads, - and the employes are asked to co-operate with the management by using their Influence to oppose such legislation. . As an example, of what these numerous laws have done, Mr.. Wlllard cites the almost complete ' discontinuance of railroad Improvement work and also reductions In the pay roll of expenditures on the Burlington system. Mr. Wlllard points out that during the legislative season of , 19M-T . over - bills concerning railroads , were Introduced In the eleven legislatures and In congress, all of which, he says, were regarded by rail road men as hostile, and many of which, such as the 2-cent passenger bill, reduced revenues. At the same time, he says, wages were generally raised, and this Item alone amounted to $3,000,000 for the Burlington system. In his address Mr. Wlllard says that for 1807 the Burlington set aside $18,000,000 for extraordinary expenditures, sucn as double tracking, new stations and new ex tension's. In 1908, v Immediately after the panic, the Burlington cut this In half and set aside but $8,000,000. For ISO but $1,000, 000 has been set aside for new work and the pay roll has been reduced. Pleads for a Chance That this state of afairs may be changed Mr. Wlllard pleads that the railroads be given a rest from further regulation for a time. " "In my opinion," he says, "the railroad business, which really means all business, will recover Its former proportions when the Influences' and forces at work during the last two or three years refrain from doing the things which have contributed so largely to bring about the depression wnicn we all deplore. ' I do not mean that laws already made must necessarily be un made, that wagon raised must be reduced, but we must have a rest. "We must be given time and opportunity to work out the new problems that have been forced upon us. We must be given an opportunity to find out what Is going to cost to meet tho new requirements, and also to sec how our revenues are going to be affected by reduction of rates. "Perhaps It will be found that, by new methodB growing out of the exigencies of the case, we will aUU be able to earn a surplus sufficient to Justify the resump tion of extraordinary expenditures formerly. "If not, . then either rates must be sd vanced or wages reduced, or Improvements must wait or be carried on with borrowed money." THUGS BEAT UP AN OLD MAN John MrKlhattaa Roughly Used and Robbed by Tno Colored Men. John McBlhutton. an aged man who lives alone in a little house near Sixth and Burt streets, was brutally beaten and robbed by two young negro thugs about 7 o'clock last night. McElhatton, who is 75 years old and a well known character , about the city mskea a living by raising chickena and selling eggs. When he returned home last night h found two negroes waiting for him. They made the excuse of wanting to buy eggs and when McElhatton had turned his back they set upon him. beat him badly and took about $5, all the money on his person, away from him. His Injuries are not serious except for bis advanced age. 'A fair description of the mm has been furnished the police by McElhatton and neighbors who noticed the two 'hanging around the house for some time before their victim returned home.

Tour medicine la cer tainly all right and I am recommending It to all my friends," says Mrs. W. H. Withrow, wife of Mayor Wlthrow of Mis souri Valley, la. She has been suffering with lung trouble for years, but has shown great Improvement since commencing the Auatro-Amerlcan treatment. Mr Mggle Earlywlne. Woodbine, la., says: I wlsn I knew what to say to con vince all who have chronlo troubles that the Austro-American Doctors can help them. I suffered terribly for 2 years with a complication of chronic disorders which Dr. Milan says were caused primarily by disordered kldnoys and nerves. Numerous doctors had treated me, but I received no benefit until I started treating with the Aimtro-Araertcin Doctors. I now feel like a new woman." O. W. Phelps, 1902 N. Kill St., Omaha, who has suffered for years with partial paralysis, says: "When I started treat ment, with the Austro-American Doctors I was unable to button my coat without assistance. I m now working every day at my trade as carpenter. I sincerely recommend their treatment to anyone suf fering from similar trouble." U. Plvonka of South Omaha. R. F. D, No. 1, says: . "My sister, Anna, had been suffering with epilepsy for tsn years, never raaalne- a week without a spell. During the three months which the Austro-Amer lctn Doofofs have been treating her she has not had a spell, and Is in better health in every way." . Mrs. Urban, 8460 South 16th .St, Omaha, Neb., writes: "Gentlemen On November 14th I commenced taking treatment from you for gall stones. For the last two and one-half years I have suffered untold agony, but since I commenced f taking treatment with the Austro-American Doc tors I have been gaining from the first and am still Improving. My friends all remark how well I am looking and are surprised to see me looking so well. I haven't felt any symptoms whatever for the last six weeks and I cheerfully recom mend the Austro-American treatment to anyone who may be suffering from gall stones I was. I will be glad to answer any Inquiries." Those wha, are suffering from Bpllepsy Rheumatism. Gall Stones. Catarrh, Dis eases of the Heart, liver.

The Austro-American form of treatment Is entirely different from all others many claim to give a similar treat ment, but the only place you can get this treatment Is Suite 438, Ramge Building. shot bv Nia-ht Watchman John Dusser One of the robbers died on the way to the hospital and the other Is not expected to survive. The Identity of the man killed Is not known. The wounded man gave the name of John Feyn and hla home In this city. Dusser came upon the men unawares and shot them before tney coum araw weapons or escape. , STRENUOUSNESS. Energetic, persevering action is gener ally necessarry to overcome the obstacles and attain great and noble ends In 'life. Bo, too. If one Is afflicted with a dread disease which has fastened Itself upon some of the organa of the body and becomes firmly sealed as a lingering or chrortlo malady, active and persistent treatment is generally necessary to dislodge the enemy. Since any medical treatment, however good It may be, must be long continued in order to be effective in old established and therefore obstinate cases, how Import ant that the remedial agencies employed be of a harmless character. To be safe and harmless, when their use is thus pro tracted, they should be of sch nature as to be easily eliminated or carried out of the yst.em when they have performed their work, Just as the refuse of food is carried out of the system. Most mineral medicines are not thus easily gotten rid. of. Take arsenic, for Instance, If Introduced Into the. system In any considerable quantity It will lodge in th brain, liver, kidneya -and other parts. and there remain as a foreign body to set up Irritation and disease for a long .period of time If death docs not sooner Intervene. This Is also true of most mineral medicines. With medicines of vegetable composition It 'Is different. They do their . work by aiding the natural functions of the several organs of the body for which they have an affinity, and like the refuse of our food, are carried out of the system through the natural emunctorles ihs lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels. Thus no Injury Is done to the system In cases where the use of such medicines is continued for a long period of time. Especially is this true If the medicine taken Is free from alcohol. It is well known, however, that even small portions of alcohol taken for a considerable period of time will do serious Injury to the bodily organa and functions and especially to the brain. How Important, then, In choosing a medicine for treating a- malady of long standing and when medicines must, in ordr to cure, be perseverlngly taken for a .' considerable period of time, that those only should be used which are known to be free of alcohol and of vege table composition. With most medicines put up for family use and sold through druggists, their com position is kept a profound secret, known only to those who compound and put them out for sale. Any' afflicted person who buys and uses them, does so, as It were, In the dark. If not indeed at his or her peril. They may, and generally do, con tain a very large percenU.ke of alcohol or cheap whiskey which thoroughly unfits them for protracted use. But thla Is 'not the worst fault of many of them, objec tionable though it is. Narcotics and min eral poisons, which we have shown tn be so harmful, especially when used protractedly, are contained In many of these secret com pounds. To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more Intelli gent to the use of secret, medicinal compounds. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some Urns ago, decided to make a bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medi cines for domestic use. and so has published broadcast and openly to the whole world, a fujl and complete list of all the Ingre dients entering Into the composition of his widely celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken his numerous patrons and patients Into bis full confidence. Thus, too. he has removed bis medicines from among secret nostrums of doubtfull merits, and made them Remedies of Known Compositions. By this bold step he has shown that his formulas are of such xcUnce that b Formerly sconnD OLX&S2TG. i3 lis Two Combined Stocks Over 1,000 High Grade Stylish w mm ON SALE SATURDAY, at Sniff; that worn mndo to soil nt $25, $27.50, Our Mr. J.- L.

The two manufacturers of whom these grreat purchases was made are among the most prominent, in New York City, and that is why we were asked to withhold their names from our advertisement Both of these manufacturers were heavily involved in un fortunate business investments, and were forced to. sell their en tire spring stock at a great sacrifice for spot cash right at the begining of the spring season.

Il.ilia un .iij.si' I Is not afraid to subject them to the fullest scrutiny. He ha come to believe, and Is willing to concede, that his patients and all who take his put-up medicines have a perfect right to know what they ara taking Into their stomachs. Not only does the wrapper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or biliousness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located, have printed upon It. In plain English, a full and com plete list of all the Ingredients composing It, but. a small book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works, of all th.e different schools of practice, con taining very numerous extracts from the writings ofsleadlng practitioners of medi cine, endorsing In the strongest possible terms, each and every ingredient contained In Dr.' Pierce's medicines. One of these little books will be mailed free to any one sending address on postal card, or by let ter, to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo. N. T., and requesting the same. From this little book It will be learned that Dr. Pierce s medicines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injuri ous agents; that they are made from Indig enous, or native, medicinal roots of great value, the properties of which are ex tracted and perfectly preserved by the use of chemically pure glycerine of proper strength. It will also be found that the glycerine employed greatly enhances the curative principles of the several roots em ployed, ss it Is the best possible solvent of their medical principles, besides possessing intrinsic medicinal value of Its own, being a fine demulcent, nutritive, al terative and anti-ferment. From perusing this little book of ex tracts, it will be found that some of the most valuable Ingredients contained In Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, overworked, "run-down" and de bilitated women, were employed, long years ago. byr the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact, one of the most valuable medicinal plants entering Into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription was known to the Indians as "Bquaw Weed." Our knowledge of t he uses of not a few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants was gained from the Indians. As made up by Improved and exact pro cesses, the , "Favorite' Prescription" Is a most efficient remedy for regulating all the womanly functions, correcting displace ments, as prolapsus, ante-version and retro-version, ovei coming painful periods, toning up the nerves and bringing about a perfoc. sta e of health. It ouies the ta.-k-ache, the dragging -down distress In the pelvic region, the pain and tenderness over the ovaries, dries up the pelvic catarrhal drain, ao disagreeable and weakening, and overcomes every form of weakness Inci dent to the organs distinctly feminine. "Favorite Prescription" is the only medi cine for women, the makers of which are not afraid to print their formula oa the bottle wrapper, thus taking rbelr patrons Into their full confidence. It is the only medicine for women, every Ingredient of which has ths strongest possible endorse ment of the most eminent medical practi tioners and writers of our day, recom mending It for the diseases for which "Favorite Prescription'' Is used.
