PROGRAM OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT Hec teeelpte for tbe Month at Marrh the l.araeat ( Any March In tae Hlatnry the ' Yards. Ivan Mltrhell of ArllnMon. Marl Douglaa nf Plsttsmnuth. I.etha lloss of Srribner, Hester Coilins of North Bend snd Geraldine Kemp of Blair were the winners In the east central Nebraska high school declama tory contest which took ptsee at the audi torium of the South Omaha High schrol lsst night. It wss after 11 o'clock before the decision of the Judges was announced. The judges were Prof. French of the Uni versity of Nebrasks, Miss Negl of the Omaha 8chool of Oratory and W. A. Brlnd ley of Council Bluffs. Ten contestants c mpeted for the Uprises under rules governing averages for pro nunciation and articulation, carriage and gesture, memory, expression and general effect. There were three classes, the ora torical class with Ivan Mitchell as the only contestant and the dramatic, -In which the following took prt: "As the Moon nose," Hester Collins. North Bend; "The Death Disk," Velma Covert, Columbus; "If I Were King," Marie Douglas. Platts mouth; "Gaxelle and Swan," Elotse Gil christ. Mead; "Commencement," Faye Hathaway, Blair; "A Reasonable Doubt," Iiftha Ross, Scrlbner; "The Sign of the Cross," Ora Blgler, Schuyler. In the humor ous class Mlis Geraldine Kemp of Blair and Ben Windham of Plattsmoulh were the contestsnts. Mrs. J. W. Gamble offered a solo at the Opening of the program. She Is one of the talented musicians of Plattsmouth. Maiilla Maxwell of Fremont gase the cloning solo numbers. The local high school orchestra furnished music to complete the progrsm. In awarding the prlaes. Prof. French of Lincoln took occasion to praise the work of the Instructors who had trained so ciedltabte a class of contestants. It was noticeable that each contestant spoke with confidence and without a slip Of memory. His swards were loudly applauded by the audience, which had practically agreed on the selection, while the judges had de liberated. Miss Marie Douglas of Platis mouui. winner of the most coveted prize of the contest took the climactic scene from the popular novel, "If I Were King." Her Imitation of the weakling. Liouis of France, accomplished the truest dramatic touch of the even'ng. The effort of the mono logist to present four or five different characters In one production Is difficult In the extreme, but the touches of manner Isms and character of Miss Douglas left no confusion In the minds of the hearers. A selection of considerable originality was that of Miss I-etha Ross of Scrlbner, winner of the second place, it was a ques tion In the minds of many whether she or Miss Douglas should have the first. Her voice was more clear and her words more distinct. Miss Geraldine Kemp, presenting the se lection. "How Ruby Played." displayed some talent as a humorist. Her gestures were especially good. Ben Windham was slightly handicapped, in having chosen a selection which was vaudeville, rather than humor, but he did well with the part and received more applause than the winner of the prize for humorous declamation. The program was not concluded until the drizzle of the evening became a steady rain. Howard Held for Trial. Fred Howard wss bound over to the dis trict court yesterday for an alleged statu tory offense sgainst his cousin. Miss Maude Hildreth of Neola. la.

Great Excitement Orer Sixteenth and Harney Deal. EXCAVATION CAUSES CURIOSITY ! Some Vagaest Dahlman Headqnnrlers, Others Bryan School of Poli ties, hot oao Cinesa the Riddle. F.xcavation has begun at Sixteenth and Harney streets and armethlng Is at last to be erected on the corner which has stood Idle for so leng. The property Is valued, it SSo.oon and wss one time picked as the jite for the new homo of the Union Pacific headquarters. When laborers began work Thursday morning the business woild of Omaha be came agitated at once. The price cf city lote as far out na Fort Calhoun went up $100 each, while water works binds pushed from 89 to 89.5 and closed thete. The real estate offtree were the scenes of the wild est excitement and plans for other big office buildings were sbandrned, except that of J. t Brandels A Sons at Seven trenth and Douglas streets. Whst the new building at Sixteenth and Harney streets will be has been a mitter 5, conjecture all day. Success of the Dahlman democracy sug gested that the Dahlman club would build a new headquarters, twelve stories In height, top floors trt be rsed by the club, lower floors for cafe, buffet, with sleeping apartments and Ice water p'nt In the basement. Another story was to the effect that John D. and Andrew Carnegie had been! Interested, secured the property at a bar gain, would erect a seventeen-story build ing, the top five floors to be occupied by a school of politics to be headed by W. J Bryan, who had been given sn endowment by Mr. Carnegie through the Influence of his friends In the Nebraska legislature. Still others Insisted thst a fifteen-story bank building would be erected, to be oc cupied by a new state bank, which would put on the windows, "Deposits Guaranteed by the Btate of Nebraska." George A Co., sgenta for the lot, are unconscious humorists. On the one day In the year when It was cruel to start excavation of any kind, the firm put men to work digging post holes for the erection of a three-story bill board. When pros pective tenants of the ney sky-scraper tele phoned to the firm's office to make reser vations, the office boy, who was a former printer's devil, answered, "All -we can let you have la space on the bill boards April fool." TONY KICKA DE PURSA BUTA SHE WON'T GO LOOSE Kalian Makes Manfnl I.nnge nt Poek etbook Fnstened to the Sidewalk. "Won't works," newsboys and police of ficers at the corner of Sixteenth and Far nam streets had the Joke turned on them Thursday, the same being all fooi'a day, by Tony, a trash picker, Tony, whose last . name looks like the explosion of a language mill or a dic tionary turned wrong side out. was de tailed to pick trash on Farnam street Thursday. He carried a sack half full of more or less valuable trash and kept the asphalt clean fromcurb to curb, some times picking up' peanut- hulls -from the sidewalk. - ': Just at noon some' of the Idle fastened a good looking woman's purse to the side walk. Victim after victim fell and a crowd assembled on all four corners to Jeer when an Innocent made a grab for the handbag. Police Clerk J J. Mahoney waa respon sible for Tony turning the Joke. With the commanding voice which the clerk pos sesses he told the trash picker to go and get the purse and put it in his sack. Tony one time kicked a monk out of dlvl-dlvl bush and his aim Is good. From holding his arms above his head whle eating the long strings of macaroni his muscles are good. Thus equipped Tony made a dive for the purse. The crowd began to yell. A welt directed kick from Tony's copper-toed boot took the pocket book from its anchor and he solemnly poked it into his traah bag. CEREAL MAKERS WILL SEND EXHIBITS TO CORN SHOW W . F. Baiter Retnrns from w York and St. I. on Is with This Report. W. F. Baxter of the Thomas Kllpatrlek company returned Wednesday from New York and St. IajuIs. where he has been on business connected with his house and In cidentally looking after some of the in terests of the NationsI Corn exposition, of which he Is a director. "In St. I.ouis especially . found a dis position on the fart of cereal manufac turers to take an interest in the exposi tion of 1909." said Mr. Baxter. "The St. IjouIs grain men probably will sent a spe cial car to Omaha this year as Chicago did last year, or perhaps a train. Those who attended from St. l-ouis last year were very much Impressed. They ex pressed themselves as delighted with the success of the Corn show movement and have been telling their friends about the big show in Omaha. As a result I expect St. Ixuiis will be prominently and numer ously represented In lis'." The manufacturers in eastern cities, who will make exhibits al the Alaska-Yukon ex position In Seattle during the summer, seem disponed to plan early to atop in Omahi on their return Snd put in complete exhibits rt the National Corn exposition. opero Corporation. I'ndoubtedly the richest transportstion corporation In the I'nlted States. If not the world, is the Pennsylvania Railroad torn- I pany. It has, for many yesrs, been blessed ' with able and honest management, botn conservative and enterprising The annual report to the stockholders, made by the directors March 2. shows its assets to be over tT06.uOO.000, of which half Is In roa,1 and equipments, one-third In securities and the remainder in cash and miscellaneous properly. Its liabilities are a funded debt of about $300,000,000. the balance being in capital stock, and a profit and loss credit t $Jo. (tto.oou. Its gross income for the year was tl3ti.000.000. Its total expenses $K.000.000. leaving $jS.0O0.0OO as net profits, out of which a dividend of I per cent was paid: nearly $9,000,000 was expended in Improve ments, and almost a million added to the profit and toss account. These figures are hard to appreciate, and the executive ability required to handle such a bualneas must be of the highest order. The vastneas of this business can perhaps be better comprehended by a con sideration of the fact thtt its gross re ceipts for the year exceed both the re ceipts snd expendituree of the national government In 1660. In that year the gov ernment received and paid out only $130. 000.000. The Pennsylvania Railroad com pany last year received and accounted for $136.000.000. South Bend tlod.) Times.

After eating I would bloat, and be In pain and distress for sevrsl hours. An all-gone feeling would coma over me, and I had no energy nor ambi tion whatever. This' condition continued for a long time, although I took I'csl ment from several good physicians, and tried a number of patent remedies, with out relief.

It afforded prompt relief, and when I had taken three bottles, my trou ble had disappeared and I waa feeling like a different man.
