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.

JUDGES THINK NONPARTISAN
LAW WILL CAUSE SCRAMBLE
Fear Rfir Jadtrlarjr Statate Wtll In
vite 'Too Many Candidates
I Into Field.
""""" 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.

O. W. 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. '

The Reason We
Sell More Clothing
than any other house in Omaha
No doubt, is due partly to the makes we handle
"Kuppenheimer," "Stein Bloch," Hirch Wickwire,
"Adler," Society" and "Schloss Bros." These are
the makers of the clothes we sell you. The kind of
clothes that withstand the most searching criticism
and include such an unusual variety of patterns and
designs, and number of sizes. No matter what the
taste may bo, there is not one tone of coloring you
could possibly ask for, or imagine, that this great ami
superior assortment does not afford. Beautiful shades
of modes, olives, grays and greens that are just fcug
gestions of these handsome spring colors and for
those who desire and are mostly affected by the smart
young dressers, we have the very pronounced colors
and a dashing swagger to the garments that the young
fellow appreciates.
And the man we sell clothes to is a satisfied man
every time. And he carries with him our binding agree
ment that it's satisfaction or his money, back.
So come for your new suit, young or old. You
will find nothing but the best. Examine, compare,
question, change your mind as much as you like.

Functus Officio
Nothing, Jim
Says Board's Alive
Mayor and Bprnam Both Auert Po
lice Commission ii Not
Dead.
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.'

GREEK FORMS A COMPANY
TO BENFIT LATIN RACES
"The I.atln Company" Incorporated
by . J. 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. The best ethnolo
