THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAKCII o. 1011. TIE OF 35 YEARS SETTLED C. S. Etebbini Defeats Old Rival at Spelling' Bee. HONORS REST ABOUT EASY Tvra Aaed Men Who ( omprlH In I ATS ettl ( nnrlntloni In ( oitfal Held at Y. M. r. A. As. semhly Room. One spring nlrht In 1"C5 the best spellers "f Omaha met at the rresby terlan church. At. last only C. P. Ptebblns and J. B Bruner remained on the floor. Finally Mr. Ftebhtna misspelled a word and amid mnrh excitement Mr. Primer wan ac claimed the champion speller of the city. Pome time later In the nmc year the two spelling giants tuot attain, but this time Mr. Stebblna was victorious. Thus tho tie etood until Friday night when Mr. Stebblna defeated hi old rival. An old fashioned spelling tie waa held tn the assembly room of the Young Men'a Christian axiiorlatlon. David Cole, preal-d-nt of the Commerrlal club, and C. C. Belden chose aides. As It happened Mr. Stebblna and Prof. Primer wre both choaen by Mr. Cole and pioneers who re called tha spelling battlea of early tlmea feared that opportunity would not ba given to prove who waa tha better man. Slxty flva men, women girls and boya lined the walla of the great room, when E. A. Beraon began propounding tha worda. Hard worda c.ama and many fell by tha wayside, but atlll the two .gray haired veterans, both 7J yeara old, remained. Mora fell a longer and more Involved worda were fired at the speller, but the two old men never faltered. With unerr ing sureness they clearly enunciated the letters and Mr. Iienson waa compelled to ay 'Tight" each time. ( nle's lde Wins. At length only one young man of the oppoalng side remained. A peculiar word came and he, too, retired, giving victory to Mr. Cole's aide. Tha crowd was for dividing the prlxe, a large bouquet, but Mr. Benson continued to fire words. Both of tha veterans had been long upon their feet and Mr. Bruner was fatigued. He also asked that honors be divided. It was largely because of his weariness that when tha word, reminiscence, came the gray haired man faltered, lie pronounced tha word several tlmea and started to pell hesitatingly. His caution was his undoing, for he called an "e" where there huuld have been an "1." Mr. Stebblna then spelled the word and the question of tMrty-flva years' standing waa settled. However the bouquet waa divided and Prof. Bruner promised another battle March 17, when another spelling bee will be held. A fiddling bee, when all of tha old fid dlers of the countryside will be fTrvlted to compete, will bo held some time later. Applea furnished by Mr. Cole were dis tributed among the crowd, though excite ment was often so Intense that many for got to munch them. There were many amusing features. The greatest laugh was produced when an elderly man misspelled bachelor and announcing he knew little about the word, left for home with his wife and daughter. Another called upon to spell beverage got his feet tangled In a chair and fell to the floor. Mr. Stebblna waa formerly general pas senger and ticket agent of tha Union Pacific railroad. Mr. Bruner for many years taught In the public schools of Omaha and was at one time county su perintendent of schools.

In ahout a week representatives of the I.snd show will begin their excursions over the ter ritory to be represented at the show. W. O. Paisley will go Into western Nebraska, southern Wyoming. Colorado. Utah and southern Idaho. Louis W. Buckley will cover California. Oregon, Washington, southern Nevada, northern Idaho and Montana. Dates Most Convealeat. The necessity for well arranged tours of exhibits and exhibitors was made manifest at the recent Omaha I.and show. Coming, as It did in mid-winter, exhibitors si-nt dis plays back to their native places or to Murage, the result being loss of time and money. The change of dates to fall for the Omaha Land show not only permits con nee ted show action, but enables the ex-, hlbltors to come from the western com munities and make a route of ' travel that divests It of doubling back. The dates on this tour would be as follows: Omaha Land show, -which quite properly leads off and opens the big exhibition season, but comes first enroute from the west to the east, are from October 16 to 23, Inclusive. Closing on a Saturday night, the exhlhlta can be taken to the Pittsburg Land chow, dates October 30 to November 8. or to the New York Land show, November 3 to Decem ber 12, thence to the Boston show, two week later. The Chicago Land show's third season comes from November 18 to December . giving ample time to come from the New York or Pltsburg land shows to the closing event In the city by the lakes. With the modern Ideas of carrying grains and grasses In folding cases all ready to open out and place on exhibition and with the newly designed cases for carrying glass Jars of fruits, vegetables, etc. It Is practical and feasible to In stall an exhibit If the booth has been or dered and built ahead of the opening day, to move from one show to another In two to three days and be In f';ie shape for public Inspection. Close to Other Dates. A more extensive exhibit for Nebraska will be a feature of the second land show. The only county to make a showing at the first land products exhibit was Dawes county. The Dawes county boosters en thusiastically declare that k the show brought them results. This county and many others will be represented In the coming show. The success of the first land show Is making much for the success of the second show. The direct results of the show are to be seen In the operations of the rail road colonization movements. Homesteaders Are Moving. "More homesteaders will Invade the west during the coming season, than dui Ing any like period of colonization," says George L. McDonough, colonization agent of the Union Pacific, "and the great In crease In this class of transportation comes as a direct result of the Omaha Land show. Iter In the month a special rate to homeseekers will be offered, and al ready we have a surprisingly large number of Inquiries." On March 10 homeseekers from Missouri. Illinois and Minnesota will mobilize here for an expedition Into the far went. There will be a special train out of St. Paul, and other homeseekers will come on the regu lar trains from Chicago, St. Louis and other points east of here. A special train will be made up In Omaha early In the morning of the 11th and all the passengers who have been mobilized here will board It for Sacra mento, Cal., near which c'ty they will go over the Kancho Del .Paso, which was so effectively advertised at the Lard show by the Union Pacific "We have had an unusually large num ber of Inquiries concerning the spring col onist fares to the west, which take effect March 10 and terminate April 10, and in a number of Instances have traced these In quiries to Interest stimulated by the Omaha Land ahow," said Qerrlt Fort, passenger traffio manager of the Union Pacific. Busy la the Northwest. Reports from the northwest show that the Hill lines are handling an ever In creasing number of settlers bound for the west and the Land show territory, over both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern. Western Pacific territory too is receiving the benefit of advertising through the land show. Much of the Western Pacific ter ritory Is suitable for fruit raising. The Land show management la urging early preparation of the material for ex hibits. Specimens gathered In the early part of the season will be thus available for dtxpluy at county fairs and similar affairs, serving a double purpose.

The dortor didn't say. "Tour asthma and bronchitis are caused by your collar but ton." but after feeling under the collar at the hack of the patient's neck he did say, "It's a wonder a person who wears such a collar button ran breathe at all. ' I suppose for twenty-five years you have been wearing high, rigid collars." continued the doctor, "with a collar button half an Inch long pressing heavily agnlnst the spinal column near where It enters the brain where It enlarges Into the medulla oblongata. The tall, stiff collar, worn as tight as you wear It, ruts off a good deal of the blood supply from the head. When you lean forward over your desk It chokes the big blood vessels that supply the brain; then when you lean back it presses hard against the base of the brain Itself. Rut the collar button, such as you wear, and as most men wear. Is worse than the collar, and together they are certainly a vicious combination. The medulla contains vital centera of .automatic action of the body. The chief of these centers Is that control ling respiration. If the medulla Is Injured death ensues by suffocation. In cases of hanging It Is the Injury to this center that causes death. The medulla Is also the cen ter for the vasomoler nerves, regulating the slxe of the blood vessels A heavy and Con tinuous pressure on the spinal column such as Is exerted by a collar button that is so lcng and so firmly held aa to imbed Itself deeply In the tissues of the neck cannot help but affect the nerves leaving the medulla, causing troubles In breathing and a long line of distressing symptoms due to vasomoter nervous disturbances. "I would not say that a shorter collar button and a loose and soft collar would cure your asthma, but they certainly are among the remedies Indicated. Just think of the weight of pressure that la put on thst collar button, with heavy winter clothing, tight fitting as to collars of vest, coat and overcoat, forcing the small piece of metal deeper and deeper down on these nerves that control the most vital functions of the body!" New York World. Two Gentlemen. A well-known Kansas banker told a story to the Kansas City Journal the other day about the statute of limitations. One day an old southerner walked Into this banker's office. The southerner was a typical gentleman of the old school. "What can 1 do for you?" asked the banker. "Well," replied the southerner, "about thirty-five yeara ago I loaned a man down south some money not a very big sum. I told him that whenever I should need it I would let hlin know, and he couid pay me the money. I need some monev now, so I shall let him know, and I would like to have you transact the business for me." "My good friend." replied the banker, "you have no claim on that money. The statute of limitations has run against that loan years and years ago." "Sir," replied the southerner, "the man to whom 1 loaned that money Is a gentle man. The statute of limitations never runs against a gentleman." So the banker sent for the money. And within a reasonable time thereafter the money came. There was a courtly gentle man at tne other end ot the transaction also. A Bold ftcrlbe.

The bill for the coronation robes of George IV was 20.000! Of this 11.600 fell to the share of the furrier; and we are told that the feet of no fewer than 6,n00 Aatrachan lamb's were required for the black spots on the Inside of the robes. No wonder that every coronation has seen a famine In furs, for not only Aatrachan lamb, but black fox, sable, and. above all, ermine, are required In Immense quantities for the robes of those who are privileged to attend the coronation service In Westminster abbey. For months past agents have been busy In Siberia and elsewhere buying up ermine, and the price Is already double the ordi nary. One hundred and twenty ermine ttklns are required by each peer for his coronation cape and collar. Judging by the coronation of the late King Kdward VII, no other ceremonial causes t-.icti a bourn In trade, and lots of things I Slides furs are going to become scarce and expensive before June. For Instance, timber. We should strongly recommend anyone who means to put up seats for spectators of the pro cession to purchase his material at once. Those who left It to the lust minute ten years ago found that they had to pay 70 per cent more than the usual prices. In that year seats were provided for 98.2uO people In public stands, and the stands themselves cost U.0U0. It must be re membered that all tha timber used must be good, sound stuff. The county council Inspectors will see to that. You may also be certain that there will be a famine In hotel accomodation la June next, and, therefore, you should take tune by the forelcck, and If you mean to be In London for the great event you ahould en gage your rooms well ahead. Every ho tel In London will be full from basement to attlo, and lodgings will be at a pre mium. Those who come late will be lucky if they pay less than 6 a night for a bed even In such localities as Uloomsbury and the Edgware road. Houses, too, will be scarce.

Cer tainly nothing will be procurable under fli a day, and the prices may run far beyond this. If you are thinking of giving a dance In coronation week, or an outdoor fete, be sure to secure your band early. Ten years ago there was an absolute corner In bands. Certain Interested parties retslned all the good bands, and people who wanted muslci had to pay a pretty price. Bo, too, with fireworks. The demand for coronation rockets was simply enormous.
