ALL PAVING MAY BE FINISHED: , Councilmcn See a Way to Provide for All Contractors Mav Dn. i SIFTING COMMITTEE GETS BUSY Finds thnt IKrr Will II K.nuiiili Money ia the In trmrrt Ion Fund for the Rammer l'v Imm Work. All pavlrg that the contractors ran handle and finish will be done this senson In Oiultt. The city council gifting coriimitte, cjm posed of Councilmen Kugil, felnoclor and Johnson, ha about finlfhed the work of sifting out the merit of Incomplete peti tions for paving and designating material. After much figuring, the rommlltee ha reached the oonclualon that there will bo enough money In the Interncctlu:! fund t. carry all work through the your. "no contractor now ha In hand about all tho work he can complete this year," eald Councilman Kugel, "and we shall not ward hitn any more contracts at present. If all tho contracts he is low bidder on were given hi til this year, It would tie up at least 1.000 of the ITS,""" In the Intersection fund. By letting the other contractors who are low bidders get In on all the work they can handle, this condition wl!! be avoided, and the Intersection fund can bo mudo to last the season through." In three districts only, probably, will pav ing be deferred to next year. These are Eleventh from l)odge to Chicago, Daven port from Thirty-second to' Thlrty-elKhth, and Mason from Kleventh to Fourteenth. In the latter district the paving cuuld not be done this season In any '-ent, without great loss to tho city. The railroad tracks are to be moved In that vicinity, and the grndo must later be changed to correspond with the grade of Thirteenth street. Ono block of creosote wood block will very likely be laid, on the south side of Jefferson park, from Fifteenth to Sixteenth. A majority of the property owners have rtgned for this material, and tho city en geneer and sonic of the couellmen are an xious to see the material given a trial.

' 0 0 0 Normal, healthy blood contains millions of tiny red corpuscles, which ars the vitalizing and nourishing element of the circulation. These corpuscles are constantly forming in healthy systems by the extraction of nutriment from food eaten, and this nourishment Is then supplied through the circulation to every portion of the system. Any system which does not receive the proper amount of blood nourishment la not prepared to withstand the countless disorders that assail It. Bad blood can not nourish the body, the circulation must be pure, rich and strong If we would enjoy good health. Bad blood manifests Itself in various ways. With some it takes the form of skin diseases and eruptions, others become bilious and malarious, with sallow complexions, torpid liver, etc. If the germs and Impurities In the blood are of a more virulent nature then bad blood becomes more serious and produces Rheumatism, Catarrh, Bores and Ulcers, and like troubles. Nothing equals S. B. S. for bad blood. It Is Nature's- own blood purifier, made from roots, herbs and barks. It goes into the circulation and removes every im purity or poison, strengthens and enriches the blood, and In this way supplies the body with the proper amount of nourishment to maintain good health. 8. B. B. is likewise the finest of all tonics and while purifying the blood builds up every portion of the system. S. S. S. cures every ailment coming from bad blood, and It does so simply because It purifies the circulation. Book on the blood sent free to all who write.

"I bore the namo of Thomas Hobbs until I was 21 yara of atte," replied Theodore Kharn.i. defendant in the suit of the United Siaten for ualng the Unted Rtatea malla for piirpimes to defraud, now on trial in the t'nlted 8tatea district court, In response to the (jutmtion put toi him by United States Attorney Frank Howell, Friday morning. Kharas' attorney strenuously objected to the qucRtion, but the court overruled the objection with the remark: "The Jury has tho right to be Informed If the defendant haa ever borne any other name than that of Kharas." The question was wholly unexpected and plainly disconcerted Kharas, whose grilling cross-examination wus begun In the morn ing. Kharas was on the stand in his direct examination all day Friday, and the di rect f lamination was not concluded until about 10 o'clock Thursday night. "The name of Thomas' Hobbs was given me by a family with whom I lived, and upon reaching my twenty-first birthday I changed my name to Theodore Kharan," continued the defendant. He gave no par ticular reason for changing his name, other than that he did not like the namo of Hobbs. He gave the date of his birth as Junuury 19, 1875. He taught school for a while under the name of Hobbs until he was 19 years of age. Bince that time he riaU been engaged In various vocations newspaper work, real estate, practiced osteopathy and for a while was a magnetic healer. He had also en gaged in tho patent right business prior to going into the movable street car Bign busi ness. Admits Circulars. He admitted that when he sent out his street car sign circulars that he had not yet received his patent, but that he thought it might be Issued at any time. The only patent he had was for an improvement upon some previous patent, the Improve ment being Issued to him June 22, 1308. He had sent out circulars prior to the formal Issuance of his patent, stating that such patents had been Issued, or were pending, for the purpose of Interesting Investors In his enterprise, and had used the malls for such purpose to a "limited extent" He further admitted that at the time he published trie circular stating that patents were pending in all nations of the globe where street ear advertising was In vogue, no such patents were pending except In the United States and Canada, These state ments having appeared In a circular he had caused to be printed and circulated bearing date of January 7, 1908. I,t was not until the latter part of January, 1908, that he had learned that another movable sign device had been Invented and patented. He claimed further to be the inventor of the movable car sign advertising device, but admitted that while he advertised in his circulars that he had three patents on the movable car sign device he had In fact but one patent. He stated that some of his correspond ence would show that he afterward cor rected this statement to the effect that he had but the one patent, but that the gov ernment had these letters and had not thus far produced them in evldencu Dahlman Gives Bryan Answer Mayor Suggests Another View of the Taft Banquet Incident to De- light of His Audience. Mayor Pahuman won hearty applause from the delegates to the grand council of Nebraska, United Commercial Travelers of America, when he treated the Taft ban quet Incident In a different manner from that of W. J. Bryan in his Washington halt speech. Mr. Bryan had cried, "Shame on Omaha," for Ignoring the governor of the state at the Omaha club full dross feed. Mayor Dahlman, In his welcome speech to the delegates, alluding to the Bryan criticism, said: "The governor of Nebraska is the offi cial representative of the whole people of the state. It seems to me it was the duty of the governor to assemble his whole staff In uniform, proceed to the border line of the state and greet the president on behalf of the people of Nebraska, and to escort him to Omaha, without waiting for an invi tation from anybody." Bennie Thomas ! to Penitentiary Yonng Burglar Sentenced to Four Years' Imprisonment and Scolded by Judge Estelle. Bennie Thomas and John Nolln were sen tenced to four years eacn in the state penitentiary Friday by Judge Estelle in district court The prisoners had the other day pleaded guilty to breaking into and entering two warehouse, at one of which they were caught red-handed by police. "There were 100 people In this city who would gladly have aided you, Bennie," said tho court "Dean Beecher, -Dr. Loveland and many others. Tour performance teems so unnecessary that it looks as If the peni tentiary had a fascination for you boys. I have no doubt that you will spend a greater part of your lives within the walls of prisons." Both boys had been out of the peni tentiary but a few months when they were arrested here. Capital Removal Concerns State Mayor Dahlman Says He is Receiv ing Many Favorable Expres sions on Issue. That capital removal Is becoming a lively toplo of talk In Nebraska Mayor Dahlman Is convinced. "I am receiving expressions favorable to the submission of the Issue to the people." said the mayor, "and within the last few days letters have come to me asking for arguments In fsvor of the prop osition from debating societies. One of the debates Is to be hold In Lincoln, I Judge from the letter eut me." Mayor Dahlman will go to Red Cloud Monday night On Tueaday he will aaalat at the opening of the base ball season In mat town, and while away will do some quiet campaigning. Ills friends la and about lied Cloud want to organiie a polit ical mettlnii for him on Tuesdny evening, nd the mayor Is not averse.
