Two members of the striking Omaha street car men were In Lincoln last night to confer with Governor Shallenberger concerning executive Intervention In their behalf. Uovernor Shallenberger waa not in the city and the delegates returned to Omaha with Deputy Labor Commissioner Maupln, leaving a petition for the governor. Following is the petition: Hon. Ashton C. Shallenberger, governor. Dear Sir Acting for and In behalf of the lovked-out street car men of O mafia, we respectfully, petition, you to authorize the state labor commissioner of Nebraska to make an official investigation of the dif ferences that exist In this city In accord ance, with sections 6928 and 8838 of, the com piled statutes of Nebraska. Thanking you for an early compliance with the request, we are very sincerely yours, P. I,. LENIHAN. Pres. W. S. ADAMS. ' W. L. JOBK. PAUL C. BTETN. O. J. RANDALL. Rec'y. It Is supposed that the petition refers to the deputy state labor commissioner, since " Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit .from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound?" If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly ?ublished a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine, fere is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask hej. Houston, Texas. When I first bes;an taking- Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I bad been sick for three year with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing- did me any good. M For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisraent of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me ene bottle of the Compound, and It did - me so much good I eonttnued Its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. -I advise all women suffering from such troubles to gtve LydU E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. llicks. 819 Cleveland 8C, Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. the governor himself la tha labor commis sioner and need not authorise himself to Investigate. Tha sections of tha statutes referred to are In tha code of elvU pro cedure which five tha governor power to name a commissioner to take depositions under oath, and to summon witnesses the same as a court Ersto of Moahev Crash. Charles W. Mosher, of evergreen mem ory, was named aa defendant In a suit Instituted In district court this morning.

The plain tiff asks to have the cloud on her title removed. Service on Moaher will be had by publication, as It is stated hla where abouts Is unknown.

Neb., Sept. 21. (Special.) There Is growing on the Normal grounds what is known as a Burbank walnut tree, and It certainly Is a remarkable plant. It Is well known that the walnut is a tree of re markably slow growth. Luther Burbank has succeeded by some method of plant breeding In producing a walnut tree which he says will grow to suitable slse for saw logs In ten years. Not only that, but the wood Is said to be commercially just as valuable as Its slowly growing cousin, tin common black walnut. Two years ago President Crabtree secured one of hese plants and had It set out on the Normal grounds. At the same time he had some other walnuts set out on his grounds ad joining the Normal. These last are now two feet high, while the Burbank tree Is at least ten feet high, and has made a growth of five feet this summer.
