TJte Sticking"
Point
Observing the circula
tion figures of most Ameri
can magazines, and their
experience in arriving at
their position, it would
appear that there is a
sticking-point of circula
tion, up to which prog
ress is reasonably easy,
and beyond which it is
enormously difficult.
Any publication, there
fore, advancing its circu
lation beyond this point -(selling
at a fair price,
jand depending not tfpon
premiums, but upon
merit of the publication
itself,) may be said to
claim unusual considera
tion from an 'advertiser.
If the circulation goes be
yond this point, it is worth
vvnile for the advertiser
to learn why.
In the case of THB

the explanation will be
remarkably obvious. In
fact, it is so obvious that

Big Boss Murphy
Reveals that He
is Still on Deck
Conner Allowed to Retain Chairman
ship Two Months on Retracting
Charges Against Tammany.
ALBANY. N. T., Feb. 25. William J. Con-
ners made good his prediction that he would
still be chairman of the democratic state
committee after Its meeting yesterday. In
saving his political scalp, however, he lost
most of his hair. Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany chieftain, whose complete mast
ery of the situation was realized by no one
better than by Conners himself, granted
the Buffalo leader a brief political reprieve
in the Interest of party harmony, after Con
ners had agreed to resign in April and to
repudiate his recent harsh statements con
cerning Mr. Murphy and the alleged auc
tioning of Judgeship in New Tork, which
he declared were the result of his "Infirm
ities of temper" and were unjustified in
fact.
Chairman Conners was re-elected for a
two-year term on April 17, 1908. He an
nounced at the meeting today that "un
der no conceivable circumstances would he
be a candidate for re-election."
"The office of chairman," he said, "Is a
thankless and difficult Job anyway," and
he desired to give more time and attention
to his family and to his business than he
had been able to do since he accepted the
responsibilities of leadership four years ago.
He promised, however, to work hard to up
hold the hands of his successor and to aid
In restoring the democratic party to power.
Today's meeting lasted less than fifteen
minutes. After the compromise, which was
arranged at a personal conference between
Chairman Conners and Leader Murphy, all
fear of a clash at the meeting vanished.
Three resolutions were adopted as the
meeting adjourned.
The first was In favor of a federal in
come tax; the second placed the committee
on record as favoring the direct primary
bills Introduced by Senator Grady and As
semblyman Friable; the third declared the
republican party won the last national elec
tion upon the platform pledging It specifi
cally to revise the tariff downward, but
that In spite of that pledge "the recent re
vision has In no way removed from the
shoulders of the great mass of the people
the burden of Indirect taxation."

The South Omaha Commercial club met
for luncheon at the llaverley hotel yester
day and afterward adjourned to the club
rooms for. a business session. Among tha
things under consideration was the ques
tion of the better lighting of the strata.
W. B. Cheek, who has recently visited forty
or fifty of the cities of the south, expressed
much favor toward a change from the pres
ent arc light system to that of street lamps
or small arcs from six to ten to the block.
He was of the opinion that much more
satisfactory results would follow at much
lees cost.
A committee was appointed to wait upon
the several dally papers of Omaha today
and secure If possible the Insertion of the
South Omaha news columns in all editions
of the paper. This committee was 00m
posed of volunteers W. B. Cheek, T. J.
O'Neil, J. H. Kopietz, George Parks and
John Flynn.
Ano her matter of considerable Importance
was the matter of river Improvement, ll
was proposed that a committee consisting
of the secretary, A. II. Murdock, and John
Flynn communicate with- the congressmen
on the advisability of the government mak
ing a survey of the present course of the
river and define Its boundaries officially,
so that It may be determined officially
which county or which state has jurisdic
tion over any given point, rfow, as the
course lies undefined In exact lernis, the
man who Is suffering from the erosion cf
the river has 110 one to whom to Appeal for
aid. Legal hindrances can be brought
against every effort of a county or munici
pality at checking or turning the flow of
the water. Injunctions can stop the build
ing of levees or Jettys on the ground that
the course, of the river cannot be hampered.
If a survey were made this point would be
obviated and then the state or county au
thorities could take hold of the work of
keeping the river within definite bounds.
Such is the proposition which the commit
tee is to communicate to the congressmen.
The club settled up most of the business
of the late banquet and makes a request
that the parties still delinquent In turning
In the cash for tickets sold made Immedi
ate settlement.
Examinations for Mechanics.
The civil service announces that an ex
amination will be given at an early date
for mechanics, such as blacksmiths, horse
ahoers, wheelwrights, carpenters, plumbers,
steamf itters, harnessmakers, firemen and
other kindred trades. Applications are
thought probable in a worklngman's town
such as South Omaha. These will have to
be mailed to J. M. Shoemaker, district sec
retary, at St. Paul, Minn., before March 16.
Carl tech Drinks Drag.
After a quarrel with his wife, Carl Cech,
Thirty-sixth and W streets, slezed a bot
tle of a purgative oil with a wonderful
name and warranted to cure all earthly Ills,
ran into the yard, v.-a! '.owed the whole,
then threw a fit In which he alternately
prayed for death and whisky. The neigh
bors were aroused and called the police
patrol. Cech was hauled to the station
much In the condition of an uncorked Jack-in-the-box.
Dr. John Koutsky looked at
the label and said a gallon of the oil would
probably kill a man If he could retain It,
and made light of Cech's antics, because
he pleaded for whisky as an antidote. So
Instead of preparing the man for his voyage
above he was hustled below Into the cells
of the city Jail, where he was charged
with disturbing the peace.

Progressive Faction Makes Him
Vessey's Campaign Manager
to Save Themselves.
HURON, S. D., Feb. 25. (Special Tele
gram.) Following a bitter battle on the
floor of the conference lasting until mid
night, R. O. Richards was placed in the
saddle by the progressives of South Dakota
yesterday as the chairman of the cam
paign for Governor R. S. Vessey, while
the Richards resolutions, as reported by a
minority committee were accepted only In
part.
The fight on the floor was spectacular.
With the knowledge on the part of many
that Richards would be out as a candidate
for governor, If he lost the fight as a
goad to drive them to the last ditch in
the attempt to secure harmony, and with
bitter personal fights urging tho Richards
opponents to fight him as a czar, the bat
tle proved a gruelling one. R. L. Senn
led the Richards opponents, while C. H.
Dillon was the leader in the fight for
Richards.
The resolutions and the organization
committee each entered two reports. On
the organization committee report the big
fight was made. Thomas Thorson favored
electing Richards chairman and this propo
sition passed by a vote of 91 to 78. Then
Richards took the floor and congratulated
them on their work and accepted Gov
ernor Vessey, extending "the right hand
of fellowship" as an Indication that he
bowed to the will of the majority.
The resolutions endorse Taft, but take
a positive stand against Cannon and Aid
rich. They state: "The dominant issue
In the coming campaign is the wresting
of control of national legislation from
special Interests entrenched behind Speaker
Cannon of the house and Leader Aldrich
of the senate and their supporters. It is
not sufficient that Speaker Cannon be re
tired. It In essential that a successor be
elected who is committed to and Is a sup
porter of progressive principles and that
there bo a revision of the rules which
will take from the speaker his arbitrary
power to direct and control all legislation.
The progressive republicans of South Da.
kota will support no candidate for con
gress In the coming primary who does not
stand unequivocally on this platform and
whose record Is not such as to warrant
credence In his professions."

because it affords them infinitely better light for making their

the entire life of the lamp.
Every woman should try one in her own house.
It costs but a few cents and will save her money.
