Tha flrt move wan 'made hm David

of hla associates, anted the council commit
ter of the whole to keep In mind, what
ever la done to Improve the lighting of the
rli, uniformity, which the committee be
lieves la necessary.
tt la proposed to assi-M the bualneaa
houses something like. SI. GO to $2 per front
foot, payable In arveral yearn, to buy
ornamental and serviieahls light posts
with bracket, supporting five lights. Pax
ton At Vierllng. who made the "Welcome"

These poala will bo Pet every seventy
five feet three to a block. In all the busl
tiM district If the plan li carried out,
while a similar post will be used In the
loe In residence district, except that tha
resilience district posts will have one light
Infirsd of the. .
When tlie business houses have Installed
the post, the electricity will be put on
i.i two iliculis. One will keep the large
I C''t lit the t ip burning all night for light.
The city will be a 'Keel to pay for the cur
r in H run this light. The four smaller
lights on each post will be on another clr
cult that may be turned off at midnight or
earlier, as they will be for Illumination.
The business houses In the block will be
asked to subscribe to a fund to pay the
actual cost of this Illumination.
My using this plan It Is argued that the
city will not only have an economical sys
tem, but the business men will expend less
for supporting the lights on tha posts than
hey me now paying for lights tn tlielr
places of business, which do not make a
very good showing because of the lack of
uniformity. , .. A
The "5o" block boosters Intend to Install
suii lights whetWr other blocks do or not,
and the municipal .affairs committee will
make It a business to take advantage of
the opportunity and light Omaha aa a
metropolitan city deserves to be lighted, aa
well as Illuminate It In the evenings for the
fl coiatlve effect and spirit of eaterplrse
which the abundance of lights Inspires.

nel through the divide between No-Water
and the head of Brldger creek and then
build south to the Northwestern and use
that line as far east as Orln Junction until
such time as the Burlington can build a
line of its own. The Colorado Southern,

from Cheyenne to Orln Junotlen.
The Burlington needs this line not only
to handle the through business which Is
now being turned over to the rosd at Bill
ings by the Great Northern and tha North

be repeated again this summer," said V.
IT. Murray, assistant genersl passenger
agent of the Union Pacific Tuesday.

Jack Martin, an attorney si Central City,
was In Omaha Tuesday on his way to IJn
coln to attend the meeting of the repub

tha constitutionality of the non-partisan
Judiciary law. The matter I supposed will
be talked over at Ihe meeting."

Planck Has His
Farm Nailed Down
Returns from Rosebud, Where
Has Taken a Tripp County
Claim.
He
Just because Jack Holt got "cold feet"
and returned from the Rosebud country
without' seeing the government land
opened to entry and not even setting foot
on Tripp oounty soil, there waa no reason
why Prank Planck should not file, and he
came hums with a homestead all nailed
down.
Mr. Planck says that the Tripp county.
South Dakota, land Is as good as any: thiit
It will raise magnificent crops, and that
he expects to become a bloated bondholder
in a few years. He planted his elderberry
and red haws bushes on his claim In the
southern part of the county, and while
he says he was the only one who took
along a nursery stock, and thereby at
tracted considerable attention, he Is not
sorry, for he will have a start of the other
homesteaders.
Mr. Planck expects to return to tila claim
about the middle of July and get a Bhanty
built and preparations made for winter be
fore time to harvest his corn, which he has
hired planted. He engaged a man to break
forty acres of his ISO-acre tract, and this
will be put Into corn. He believes he can
live next winter on corn bread and wine
made from his elderberry bushes, and
next year he will begin farming In earnest.

Hare Pat noils of
Moaej .
That a great Step toward the ultimate
killing of the business of confidence men
in Nebraska has been tsken with the cap
ture by Omaha detectives of Andy Potts
snd Charles Osborn, is believed hy County
Attorney J. C. Cook and Sheriff "Dutch"
Bauman of Dodge county, the Omaha
police arid the railroad detectives, who
have been working on auch cases for
months.
The men have bean positively identified
by Dressier and William Moore, a fnlon
Paclflo train porter, as the men wanted
by the police. The Omaha police say that
both Patts and Osborn are old time con
fidence men and crooks, with pictures In
many rogues' galleries.
"Wa will push this case to the limit and
ought to break up the confidence men In
Nebraska by the prosecution," said At
torney Cook, who spent several hours in
Omaha Tuesday morning.
Ha secured etatementa from both men
and a detailed account from Dressier of
how he was buncoed and aiso held a long
consultation with Chief of Detectives
Savage of the Omaha police. Chief Canada
and Detective Vlxaard of the I nlon Pa
cific secret service and Sheriff Bauman of
Fremont. The confidence game was played
In that town and the sheriff came to
Omaha Tuesday morning to take back the
prisoners. He was accompanied by Al
Evans, former county commissioner of
Dodge county.
Same Pair, Locks I.Ike.
The two bogus draft which Dressier re
ceived for his JfO in currency. Is almost
identical With tho S1.000 drnft given O. C.
Hoffman of Merna at Grand Island, when
tho swindlers secured W from him on the
customary express bill game.
Both drafts are supposedly drawn on the
Traders' National bank of New York City
by tho cashier of the Beaver City National
bank of Beaver City. Okl., and both are
numbered 1155. The only difference be
tween the two Is In the amounts and names
used.
During his examination by County Attor
ney Cook Tuesday morning, Potts said that
he had recently been In me city Jail hero
under the name of A. H. Potts. Investiga
tion showed that a man of that name was
arrested on April lu, with Eddie Mack, who
Is said to bo one of the country's most
famous confidence men and pickpockets.
Detectives Ferris and Dunn, who helped
make the arrests Monday night, were tho
arresting officers on the first occasion.
Potts was sentenced to thirty days and
Mack to sixty dsys in the county jail, from
which they were released a few days later
on appeal bonds.

The Modesty of Women
Naturally makes them shrink from the indelicate questions, the ob
noxious examinations, and unpleasant local treatments, which some
physicians consider essential in the treatment of diseases of women.
Yet, if help can be had, it is better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that 60 often the wom
an undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing. Thousands
of women who have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion write in appreciation of the cure which dispenses with the exam
inations and local treatments. There is no other medicine so sure
and safe for delicate women as "Favorite Prescription." It cures
debilitating drains, irregularity and female weakness. It always helps. It
almost always cures.
"Favorite Prescription" Is strictly non-alcoholic, nonsecret,
all Ita ingredients being printed on Its bottlcwrappert con
tains no deleterious or habit 'forming drugs, and every native ...
medicinal root entering into its composition has the full en ' '
' dorsement of those most eminent in the several schools of
medical practice.
Some of the numerous and strongest of professional endorsements ot its ingredi
ents will be found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also in booklet
mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. These profes
sional endorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordi
nary lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The most intelligent women now-a-days insist on knowing what they take as
medicine instead of opening their mouths like a lot of young birds and gulping
down whatever is offered them. "Favorite Prescription" is of KNOWN COM- '
POSITION. It makes weak women strong and sick women well.

Old Man Defies
Thugs With Gun
Stuck in His Face
Erik Peterson, 207 North Twenty-third

"Throw up your hands!" commanded the
coward with the gun.
Mr. Peterson's reply was a blow on the
man's head with hla umbrella.
"I'll not throw up my handa. nor be
held up by you,." he declared.
Coward No. 2. summoned courage enough
to strike 'Mr. .Peterson In the face, knock
ing him to the ground.
This all caused some commotion, and
the commotion attracted people. In the
neighborhood to the scene and the thugs
ran away.
Mr. Peterson gave no alarm to the police,
nor any other alarm. He came to the busi
