SCHEME SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL Drilinfd o Car for All Waste an arfaee Water of the Wide Area la All Directions. When a remedy has lived for over thirty years, steadily growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon thousands of women declare they owe their very lives to it is it not reasonable to believe that it is an article of great merit? J- . ' . ' x We challenge the world to show any other one remedy for a special class of disease which has attained such an enormous demand, and maintained it for so many years as has Lydia E.Pinkham' Vegetable Compound, the famous woman's remedy for woman's ills. Unless it is a very good medicine and the claims made for it are honest, such a record would have been impossible fraud or misrepresentations would long ago have been detected and the business gone into oblivion. , Read this unsolicited letter:- Melbourne Imrai .fl Buffered for many years with female troubles, inflammation, and bearing-down pains, bo that I was unable to do my work. " Lydta E.Plnkhftm Vegetable Compound wan recommended, and I am no thankful for the great Rood it has done me. I feel that I am a living advertisement for this medicine as I have Influenced so many of my friends to use It, so thankful am I that it restored me to health." Mrs. Clara Watermann, It. D. 1, Melbourne, Iowa. When a woman like Mrs. Watermann is generous enough to write such a letter as the above for publication, she should at least be given credit for a sincere desire to help other suffering women. For we assure you there is no other reason why she should court such publicity. We sky it in all sincerity and friendship try this medicine. For 30 years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound 12 been the standard remedy for female Ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has tbousands.oi cures to its credit. i -Ma, Mrs. Pinkhara Invlis all sick women Lr"wr to write ber for advice. She has guided thousands to health fe of charge. Address Mrs. Pinkham. Iynn, Mass. tn response to a resolution passed by the mayor and council aoma tlma ago, F. H.

The council took advantage of the new law enacted by the recent legislature al lowing small cities to pave streets by as sessing back the cost and ordered petition! circulated to pave Main street from the Cemetery road north to the Calhoun road. Some time ago It passed an ordinance to pave Jieven blocks of this street, and the action Monday simply confirms that and extends the paving twelve blocks.

""""" mmm Judges of the district court of Douglas county are Inclined to think that the new law providing for a "non-partisan" judic iary will provoke a big scramble for nomi nation. No filing fee Is now required, a petition signed by 1,500 persons being the requisite. Signatures are, however,- easy In get to a petition of thia sort and' there are many members of the bar who would like the place or the salary or both. No one can run for the nomination as a re publican or democrat under the new law, though in the upshot the political com plexion of candidates will be apt to count something. Rain and Snow Assure Crops Plenty of Moisture for Nebraska and Other States of the West. Nebraska and other western states have been well wet by. snows and rain. The moisture Is said to be sufficient to assure good grain crops and put plenty of water In the irrigation ditvhea, which will further assure another year's crop for the semi arid section. The rain which began falling In the vlcliv Ity of Omaha Monday night was accom panied by roaring thunder claps that shook windows, but no lightning. The rain was general from about Columbus esst. 8now from one to three Inches deep Is on the ground from Columbus to Orand Island. Half an Inch of rain fell In Kansas Mon day. More is on the way for Omaha and Nebraska. LATE NIGHT HOURS DO NOT PAY At Least. That la What Two Men Decide W ho Kept . Them. It doesn't pay foi men to stay out . rate at night or go home In the morning after the cars have stopped running. At least F. I. Epler, a street oar Inspector and detective, and A. T. McRea, who lives at 4T7 Harney street and Is a watchmaker, discovered that to be a fact after spending five hours In jail and then being severely questioned In police court. Judge Crawford discharged both men, but not without warning them that It Is not wise to be found loitering around the streets between 3 and 4 o'clock In the morn Ing and unable to satisfy a policeman as to their good character and Intentions. Officer Flemmlng arrested them near the Kountze Memorial church, Twenty-alxth and Farnam streets, early Tuesday morn ing, and said they dodged behind the build ing when they saw him.

Holdregs, general manager of the Burlington Hallway company west of the Missouri river, hss sold his home on Thirty-second avenue to a corporation headed by Thomas Matters of Brecken rldge, Green A Matters, attorneys, and the tract on which the home stands will be divided and a number of residences erected there. The corporation which will handle the property Is known as the Oate City Land and Investment company. The price paid for the property is given at S40.000. The deal was made after a number of promi nent real estate dealers had made an ap praisement of the property and estimated what it would probably bring If divided Into resident lots. The plans of Mr. Matters' Oate City Ind and Investment company are not definitely known, as Mr. Ma It hers la out of the olty. but In the transaction he made It known that he would build a number of home, some of them quite costly. Tti Holdrsga residence and the sur rounding grounds Is one of fhe beauty spots In Omaha. Tt overlooks Hanscom park, which Is directly east of the prop erty. Besides the home a lodge Is main tained with extensive lawns and grounds. Mr. Mstters has acquired considerable property In Omaha within the last year or two. buying the Judge D. M. Vlnsonhaler residence for a home on Thirty-ninth be tween Farnam and Dodge streets, and also buying the Strickler row on Thirty-eighth street. Organized Farmers Next in Unions This is the Prediction of F. J. Baker, Head of the Leather Workers. The "organised farmers" Is the next thing In the line of unions F. J. Baker of Kansas City, general president of the Brotherhood of leather Workers, says. He Is tn Omaha to look after the affairs of his union, which he says are prosperous. Mr. Baker thinks unions are on safer ground today than ever. "The injunctions Which have been issued from time to time against officials and unions have served a different purpose than was expected," says Mr. Biker. "Take, for Instance, the Oompers-Mltchell-Morrlson case. This has done more to awaken the worklngmen to the fact that If they wish to protect themselves against un just actions they must organise, and that they realise this Is evident by the Increase tn membership in every International union. . "The most Important factor In the labor movement of the future will be the organ ised farmers. They realise - where they have been taken advantage of tn the past and see the remedy in organisation. With the farmers organised and demanding the union label on all the goods they buy, and organised labor demanding -lhe farmer's label on all produce they buy, there Is no doubt that unfair employers wilt, find thelv goods In smstl demand." " Girl Asks for Detention Home Walks in Rain from Southern Fart of South Omaha to Juve nile Court. "May I speak to you, please, jidge?" Judge Eatelle looked up and then peered down over his spectacles. He saw before him a forlorn, bedraggled figure. It was that of a girl of 11 years of age, slight of build, anaemic, obviously tired and weak. Streams of water trickled from the hem of ber skirt. "Why, what Is It, Ella?" asked the Judge in a kindly voice. "I want you to send me to Miss Magea, please," said the girl, Blla Lesra by name. "I can't stand it at home any longer." Judge Estelle looked again at the streams of wster dripping from the girl's garments. "Didn't you have an umbrella?" he asked. "No," said the girl, "and It's a long walk." "I should think it Is," affirmed the Judge. The girl had walked In through the rain all the way from the further border of South Omaha Tuesday morning. In trouble at borne, resolute to live there no longer, she had come to the Juvenile court room by the only means she had. Judge Estelle made out the order desired, loaned her his umbrella and giving her car fare sent the child on her way to the De tention Home, of which she Is the first vol untary entrant on record. It Is no palace which she has left. Her father and mother and thirteen other chil dren live, move and have their being In two small rooms Into which a tumble down, rickety shack has been divided.

According' to Msyor Dahlman's opinion and City Attorney Burnam's Interpretation of the law, the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners Is not "functus officio," as Attorney L. D. Holmes says It Is. "There Is no need In looking up the law; I know that the board haa as much power now as It ever had, despite the governor's failure to appoint or reappoint," said the niitvor with sn emphatic Jerk of his head In advising against bothering the city at torney with the matter. The city attorney when asked About It agreed with the mayor. "The genera! law holds In this instance as In all cases," said Mr. Burnam, "and that law ststes explicitly that all elective or appointive officers shall hold over until their successors shall have been elected or appointed and been cot.flrmed and qualified. "There la no doubt that the excise board la vested with full power as It now stands and the governor's failure to appoint, as specified In the charter bill which he up proved, makes no difference. Mr, Holmes Is mlstsken and the board Is not 'functus officio.' " there Is considerable ground for the mod ern Greeks' claim, that they descend from the old heroes. As for the Italians represented In the new company by A. D. Rissuto, none would dispute their claim to be a Latin race. MANY TAXICAB LINES . WISH TO COME TO OMAHA Commercial Clab Issnea General ! vltntlon In Response to IVnmer ons Inqalrtee Itecelvea. Apparently all the taximeter companies in the United States have ' applied to the Commercial club of Omaha for Information about the city and each wishes to be the line to come to Omaha at once. As a result Commissioner J. M. Guild hss issued a general Invitation in the hope of getting the cab lines to cut rates, which Is only possible with plenty of competition. One "taxi" line asys Its Tales are SO cents for the first mile and 10 cents for each suc ceeding quarter of a mile. If this rate is maintained It la doubtful whether the taxicabs will put the owl cars out of business In Omaha, according to the commissioner. The taxlcab companies offer to sell rides tn most sny kind of a toasla. however, snd this may help. Some have timepieces in the carriages snd money Is deposited ever time the clock strikes or the cuckoo coos. This enables those who want to ride In lover's lane, "where a proper horse goes slow,", to pay by the hour Inatead of by the mile and let the company out with divi dends. From all the applicants It Is certain, ac cording to the Commercial club, that one or more -taxlcab lines will atart In OmatiH.' lllrniAAll UPA.ien a .

Mandannle and Otkera to AM Descendants of Heroee. The newest Incorporation is also one of the most novel. N. J. Mandannls, - B. Cokus and A. U. iRlssuto have Incorporated what Is to be known as "The Iatln com pany," and Its general object Is the amelio ration of the Iatin races In snd about Omaha. It would seem since Mandannls Is a Greek that the local Hellenes are to be con sidered a Latin race, which la a new thing ethnologlcally apeaklng. Tne company la to hve a capital stock of SJ.VO and Is to "secure homes and em ployment for reople of the Latin races, to aid .'-d encourage their education and social relations, to spread useful Intelli gence snd Information among such people and In other ways promote their welfare." Just what blood does flow In the veins of the modern Greek is a matter of aome dlvpule among ethnologists, but It would not be well to say ao In the preence of a modern Greek. The most unpopular man in the Hellenic dominion Is a German pro fessor, who said that the old blood had been so diluted by later Invaders that the modern Greek could not be considered a deacendant of the heroes of Thermopylae, Marathon and Salamla.
