Chlsf Johnson has a large number of assistants and the work Is being vigor ously prosecuted all through the Indian country. Basel al A rent at Work. Special Agent Brents, formerly deputy marshal for ths Indian territory, has been In this work tn ths Indian country for a number of years and succeeded In break ing up ths sale of liquor to Indians In the Indian territory and Oklahoma during ths territorial days. He has but recently completed a raid on the saloon men In Sioux City and secured seventy-four arrests 'and convictions there tor the sals of liquor to Indians, lie was assisted In ths work here by A. H. Neal, superintendent of the Winnebago and Omaha Indiana. The Sioux City saloonlsta had through the operation of a "Jim crow" train run ning between Sioux City and Waltlilll, Neb., which was run especially for the boose hunting Indians, succeeded In doing a thriving business. It was at the Instance Most persona, even those who. are ordinarily strong and health), need a Imlc and blood purifier in the Spring. 8ome have no particular ailment, but are weak, debilitated and run-down. Winter life with Its decreased amount of out door exercise, and the fact that cold weather has kept the pores of the skin closed, prevented the proper amonnt of waste and refuse matter from being expelled from the system.

ECffio co Atlanta, ax, 1 ' ALL THE FINE ders, $7.50, and suggestion of Superintendent Neal that the crusade against the Sioux City saloons was Instituted. A decoy Indian was en gaged and the rest of the work was easy. The Indians then discovering that their liquor supplies at Sioux City were being curtailed transferred their patronage to Omaha. Liquor was easily obtained In Omaha by the Indians, particularly during the recent session of the federal oourts, where a number of Indians were brought hero as witnesses In the various cases. It developed that the Indiana were coaxed Into some of the hotels catering to that par ticular patronage, and were there plied with liquor, and the result was that many of them found themselves locked up In Jail and penniless. Tries to Break Up rrctlce. Superintendent Neal determined to break up the practice and called Special Agent llrcnti to his aid with a deooy Indian named Lamoreaux of the Shoshont tribe. Lamo reaux, through the other Indiana, got track of the saloons that were In the habit of selling liquor .to Indians In Omaha. The 'two white officials visited the sa loons last Monday and Tuesday Incognito, and while there Lamoreaux would drop In and buy a bottle of liquor, the officials being witnesses of the transaction, and then 'Lamoreaux would put his private mark on the label of the bottle of booss and then one of the officials would Inci dentally drop outside when Lamoreaux would hand him tht bottle, which would be sampled by the officer and labeled with a government label, with the history of the transaction. In Justice to a number of saloons It should be stated that they declined to sell liquor to the Indian, and In other Instances when the saloonlst, after a second thought, would call the Indian back and demand the return of the boose, repaying the In dian his money. Lamoreaux looks like a Mexican at first sight, and being dressed In civilian clothes made a good decoy. Special Agent Urents said: "The pur pose of this raid against the saloonlsts Is not a persecution, but It Is for the purpose of breaking up the sale of liquor . to In dians. We have succeeded In doing so In Sioux City and will do so here. In the Sioux City rases the fines ran all the way from 100 to (200 under the Iowa state laws. The matter of Indiscriminate sales of liquor to Indians was taken up at the recent meeting of the competency commission, to examine Into the competency of the Omaha Indians to care for themselves, and this commission strongly recommended that drastic measures should be taken to sup press the traffic.1 "You have even a more drastic law here THE BEST o SPRING TONIC LINGERIE DRESSES and WASH DRESSES, IN All the Beautiful . white and colored O Wash Dress and Lin gerie Dresses, worth up to $7.50 at All ihe Women's Fine Tailored and fancy trimmed Wash Suits, lace and embroidered effects also plain tailored the new russeis, pinks, blues, laven whites, etc., worth up to at...

STORIES OF JfJEY ROOM TOLD Statements of Members of Panel De clare They Decided "Church Had Esoaih Property" Merits Not Considered. Charges of Improper conduct by people Interested In the Connor will case and charges of Improper conduct by members of the Jury are made In reven affidavits filed by Smyth, Smith & Schall In district court In suport of a motion for a new trial of the case. These affidavits set forth In detail the alleged Improper conduct and will create some stir In district court circles, adding vigor to the feeling which this celebrated ( will case has engendered in the past Patrick Duffy, one . of the proponents and an executor under the Connor will of May 16, 1608, Is the first affiant His af fidavit has to do with the behavior of the relatives during the hearing and he sets up that the relatives, whom he names, occupied a row of chairs on the north side of the court room In view of the Jury "and that as the testimony of witnesses was delivered from the stand the con testants and their friends from time to time showed their approval or disapproval of what was said by smiles, laughter, grimaces and frowns." The affidavit by Mr. Duffy then turs to Mrs. Mary Lamb and her children and says "that during a portion of the argu ment to the Jury Mrs. Lamb took a position in the northeast corner of the room In view of the Jury and about thirty feet away; that during a large part of the arguments, and especially where her testimony was under fire she held her two younger child ren on her lap, one on each knee and each having an arm around her neck." Patrick Oleason makes affidavit to the effect that while C. J. Smyth for the pro ponents was addressing the Jury an old lady got up and walked out toward the door of the court room, saying so that the Jury could hear, "He Is a liar," this refer ring to Mr. Smyth. Several Affldavts. Mr. Smyth makes affidavit to the same effect and then says that the opposing at torneys, J. J. Sullivan and James P. Eng lish, represented to ths Jury that the at torneys on the other side appeared for the Catholic church. This affiant denies this, saying that his firm was retained by the executors under the will. Hot shot Is fired In the affidavit of an other member of the same law firm, W. A. Schall, declaring that the children of Mrs. Lamb at practically every recess of. the court played with the Jurors. Then Mr. Sohsll goes on to say that he "observed the attitude, movements and demeanor of the contestants and their friends and sympathisers, which were well calculated to appeal to the prejudices or the Jury and were the result as this af fiant believes, ef a well thought out and prearranged plan and scheme to appeal to the sympathies of the Jury." Three affidavits by members of the Jury have been secured and filed with the other affidavits. A. Meyer swears trfat when the Jury had retired one man asked how they should vote and that some one sug gested that they vote for Sullivan or for Smyth "bocause Sullivan represented the heirs and Smyth the church." Radrlck Dlensibler, a second Juror, swears that the foreman attempted to read only that part of the Instructions which set forth the theory of the heirs and that the Jury voted on the case without discussing it Slnwu HUrooymuus, the a B3ZSZ3XS53 uimMBsmsmmm SMS 8 Z S in Two Big Lots Elegantly tailored wash Suits and a few 3-piece linen' effects, many pique, reps w ana aucK suis line whites and all the season's best colors every one the latest 1910 styles, worth up to $10.00 one member of the Jury who held out for the proponents for three ballots, says the merits of the case were not discussed "and that what was said was to the effect that the church had property enough, and there fore the heirs should have It; that no one of the Jurors at any time said or urged that in his judgment the will Had been destroyed by Mrs. Connor." The motion for a new trial was due to be argued Saturday, but this may be de layed to give the attorneys on the other side time for a counter showing. The affidavit of Mr. Smyth also con tains some matter which was set up In the motion for new trial, excerpts from Judge Sullivan's address to the Jury, In which Mr. Sullivan Is declared to have reflected on the attorneys for the other side and on the church.

W. A. Campbell and J. M. Guild of the Omaha Commercial club returned Thurs day night from Columbus, where they were in attendance at the meeting of the Nebraska Commercial clubs, A resolution was passed at the meeting for the appointment of a committee of three to endeavor to get an appropriation of $10,000 per year from the legislature for the exploitation of Nebraska and its re sources. The committee has not been named, but It Is probable that Will A. Campbell will be the chairman. The plan suggested was to expend a part of this amount of money to Uie publication of a book, setting forth the resources of the state, to be sent out to those who make Inquiries through the various commercial organisations. Although It was not de cided definitely what should compose the contents of this book, it was suggested that a description of each county In the slate should be given; its location, re sources and general Information for those who might be Interested. The stats buteau of labor and statistics now has an appropriation of I2.M0 with which to carry on such work and It was deemed entirely Inadequate by the Ne braska Commercial clubs to furnish the Information sought by those who want to know what Nebraska has to offer as a desirable state In which to live. Other features were also discussed In re gard to an advertising campaign which would place Nebraska In a prominent posi tion before ihe people of surrounding slates, especially In the east -sw m -sss. -see- v - s w n mn m i rt.C fflmwm Has the Census Man Got to You.i If Not, the Government Wants YoiJ to Tell Supervisor Saun- I iro AhAnr ir Are you counted? xr ins oensus enumerator nas noi laaen your life history the nation's books are going to be off by at least one figure on the left hand.

The parties running the rooming and boarding houses claim that they do not know the names or histories of their roomers. They pay their room rent weekly and they have no further Interest in them. The enumeraors have had less trouble with the foreign population than was ex pected.
