LINCOLN CLUB RAPS OMAHA
Knocking Circular! Thought Work
of Lincoln Commercial Club.
SENT TO TEACHERS OF STATE
irksel9t'sn Will Vote loos oa
Plaee far Xt (eaventlea
mm4 Mneola Wests Their
Trade,
Next week the teacher of the state
will receive the formal Invitations of
Omaha end I,lncoln, both of which de
sire to entertain the teachers at next
year's convention. They will be sent
out In printed form by the executive
committee of the association. The teach
ers will then vote by mail on the place
for holding the next meeting.
Lincoln Is very sorry that the teachers
met in Omaha this year, because the
Lincoln merchants have figured to a
nicety their profit on the teachers and
estimate that the convention brings
them 100,000 worth of trade every time It
meets In Lincoln. Bo they are busy try
ing to knock Omaha.
They got the Lincoln Journal to print
story knocking Omaha, then had It
reprinted In circular form' and sent to
newspapers all over the state. As far
as can be ascertained, not one of the
papers reprinted the article. Many edit
ors, on receiving the circulars, Imme
diately mailed them to the publicity
bureau of the Omaha Commercial club.
.The circulars were very clumsy. There
was nothing on circular or envelope to
tell where they came from, except a
lock box number In the upper left hand
corner of the envelope. The senders
were not even clever enough to invent a
fake "news bureau" for the occasion.
It Is presumed that the Lincoln Com
mercial club paid for the circulars and
postage.
Lincoln (Is Very Busy,
The Lincoln club haa been bombarding
the teachers with "literature." Including
that stock Rostcard poster designed for
a general appeal to all conventions, but
with a special appeal to' none. ' The
poster .whlrh bears a picture of the pos-t
office building and the Young Men's
Christian association building, can be
bourdolr. V
Lincoln Is trying' to tell the teachers
that Lincoln' hotel rates are lower than
Owiaha-'S. t This is not the, case, accord
ing to officials of tha Omaha Commercial
club, but it it were, the teacher would
still be assured of having a place to sleep
In OmahA, whereas many oC. them have
had to all up all night In Lincoln because
they could not find rooms.
Next to the state ' flr, the teachers'
convention is the If's'gest money bringing
affair that visits j.lflooln and the mer
chants of ths capital are bending every
effort to ket auother chenoe at the teach
ers' pocketbooks next' year. They fcot
so used to having the teachers In their
town that they freely used tha trad ar-
gumen in getting their subscriptions
for entertaining the teachers.
The Omaha Commercial club, at . the
lime It Invited the teachers last year,
advised them to spend their, money In
their home towns before coming . to
Omaha,, giving their local . merchants all
the benefit of their trade. Omaha wants
to entertain the teacher because the
metropolis has many large institutions
that they should know about and about
which they should be abls to tell their
pupils. This will do Omaha and the
state more good, the Commercial club
figures, than any amount of money the
teachers might spend.

from this county. Judge Hinltli atated
that he baa asked Judge Jones of Bloux
Falls to occupy the bench during thla
case, Flotner and Mr. Qulnu are to be
tried on separate charge of adultery,
The case became so notorious In this
county and tha sentiment was so strongly
against them that It was thought Impos
sible to secure a Jury which could pos
sibly give them a fair and Impartial trial.
From the association of these two peo

finally traced to Omaha, where they were
errested by Sheriff Uerry, and brought
back to this city. Their homecoming
proved to be quite an exciting affair,
when nearly W0 people were gathered at
the Omaha depot, and when the couple
stepped from the train there were cries
of tar and feathers to show the disap

Saturday night shot and killed Frederick
A. Hchwab (white) at Fairfield, Anne Ar
rundel county, was taken from the
lorknp at Brooklyn, a suburb of Paltl
more, erly today and shot to death by
a small party of unlndentlfled men.
Davis, who also was known by the name
of Johnson, was dragged to a spot about
VO yard from the station and shot four
times through the lungs. Mis body was
not discovered until several hour later.
The avenging band, thought to have
not exceeded eight or ten In number,
formed quietly. They effected an en
trance Into the lockup without attracting
the attention of those living nearby, and
went to I.avls cell, where they found
the negro asleep. Hubert Chase, an
other negro, who was held In the station
as a witness In the Rchwab case, was not
molested. Ctmee said Davis fought
desperately and shrieked for mercy, but
tils rrlee were quickly sllenoed by a blow
on the head which stretched him un
conscious, lie then waa dragged away
to his death.
The trouble which caused the shooting
of (Schwab stsrted In a saloon at Fair
field, over a game of pool between Frank
Kchwab, a brother of the dead man and
Davis. Hchwab claimed the negro called
him vile names.
After the party left the saloon Freder
ick Schwab took up his brother's quarrel
with Davis, who drew a pistol and sent
a bullet through Kchwsb's heart. Davis
then fired two shot at Frank Schwab
without effect.
The negro fled, but was arrested an
hour later.' He claimed that ha shot In
self-defense, declaring that Frederick
Schwab had struck him. The jail wa
left Unguarded.

1100,000 or more a sharers In the Alaop

waa not a chance In the world to collect
any part of tha claim. As the years

REVOLT FOR CIRCUS LIBERTY
Brilliant Bit of Fletlen Meeeeed
F.d Iloere from Parental
ftTTltrhtas.
When uirrus day srrlve.1 father told
us we were not to attend the circus;
and, what waa more, we were to work ail
dav and not to see the crowds or the
parade.
t told Jim 1 Intended to make .at sneak
and see the circus If I died for It. Jim
was a good boy and wanted me not to
go, but when he saw I .was determined
ho accompanied me in the wild run w
made for liberty; . ' . .
Then we started out to. borrow money
with which to attend the evening per
formance. Put we didn't mate any prog
res, so when the band struck up for the
night show we decided to crswt under
the tent. It seemed easy and f was
about In when a man caught m by the
heels and pulled me out. While the or
cus man was cuffing me I saw another
circus man cuffing Jim, about twenty iect
away. .
lie had alno failed. Then we met a
man named McCurry, a member of my
father's church, a good man who did not
Intend to witness the performance, but
who wa nevertheless walking around
Outside to see the crowds and hear the
band. W appealed to Mm. We said we
had run off and should get a whlppini,
but that It would be terrible to get a
beating and not see ths performance.
Mr. McCurry looked around, to see no
one was watching, and said;
"Well, I don't want your father to know
It, but I'll loan you the money."
A few minutes later w were Inside the
tent, whistling with the other boys, and
Inviting the circus men to "play ball,"
for the performance had not yet com
menced. But when It did begin It waa all
we had expected and more. It was Miles
Orion's circus, I remember, and the
clown was a marry fellow railed Dr.
Gllkerson.
But at last the show waa over, and Jim
and I hung around an hour or more,
dreading to go home we knew what was
coming to us.
The Is st wagon drove away about 1
o'clock In the morning, and then there
waa nothing left for us but to face the
editor. So we sneaked In at the kitchen
door; we Imagined mother would leave
that open for us, and found she had.
After entering the kitchen there waa a
door feeding Into the sitting room, and
then a stairway leading up to our room.
We had gone around the house and noted
a light In the sitting room; we expected
trouble" ther. After entering the kitchen
we tried the knob of the sitting room
door, and tried to turn It quietly. Kver
notice how a door knob squeaks when
you try to turn It, quietly? That door
knob squeaked, and when we turned it
and went into the sitting, room there
sat the editor, waiting for us. I went In
first and Jim sneaked In behind me.
"Well," father ssld, "you've been to the
circus?" f
There wa no use trying1 to deceive him.
I was willing to try,' but knew It was im
possible, so I replied, meekly:
"Te, sir." - i
He thought a while, as though trying to
decide Just how hard he would whip us,
and finally Inquired:
"How did you like It?"
I waa too' wise a boy to be enthusiastic,
under the circumstances, so I replied:
"Oh, I didn't think It amounted to
much." ' (It did, though; It waa the very
best show I ever saw In my life.)
For some reason ths editor didn't grab
us and begin the punishment we expected,
and ha had no switch.
"Did they say anything about me?" he
asked.-
I hadn't thought of that before,' but
evidently he had been expecting an at
tack. I repeated what-tha clown had
said, making It as mild aa possible.
"How did the people take it?" he asked
again.
Then X had an Idea, I replied with ant
nation; "Welt, sir, you should have been there
and seen how the people took It! Bill
Hlllman, the sheriff, walked down to ths
ring and shook his fist at the clown and
said the people wouldn't atand for. low
circus people abusing a prominent man
Ilka you. And Mr. Cuddy, the banker,
he walked down to the ring, too, and
told the circus men what he thought of
them. Her said you were one of ta
most useful men In town and that people
looked up to you, .and tbel they didn't
want te hear any more of that".
The editor waa evidently pleased; still
he delayed the whipping.
"Well,'' heeatd at-last, after thinking
awhile, "hurry -on te bed. - We have a
big days work ahead of u tomorrow.
When we got In bed. we chuckled softly,
and Jim nudged me with his elbow and
said I was certainly the boldest, wisest
boy the country ever produced. , And we
paid back-Mr. McCurry next day with
ducka we stole from mother and later
fixed It all right with her-she never
was a hard on us aa father was. n
we told her how we bad fooled father,
she said it waa a sin, but we oaught her
laughing about It afterward. Bd Howatn

Is under $2,600. Some of these policies
are held ly the very' rich, but the great
majority, as theis value shows, afe held
by men of moderate means. IJfe Insur
ance Is the saving fund of the salaried
man and wage earner, rather than of
the great capitalist.
If the great Increase In national wealth
has gone to the very rich, then the total
of policies and the amount of insurance
would not keep up with the increase of
wealth. If the Increase in wealth has
been disturbed through the whole mass
of. the community, then life insurance
would grow with the wealth. If on the
other hand, those of moderate means
have been abe, a the years went on, to
save more and more and to have a larger
and larger proportion of the mortgage on
the Invested wealth of the country, rep
resented by life Insurance, then the
amount of life insurance would increase
very much faster than the. Increase In
aggregatlonate national wealthT
The- amount of life Insurance has
grown in the past half century Just lot)
fold, from tiS3.708.4M to ll.40t.2tU.042. In
other words, the share of tba wealth of
the country owned by those of moderate
means would seem to have grown sixteen
times as fast as the growth of the gen
eral wealth. '
How about th wage earners? Ills sav
trgs are In Industrial Insurance. This
began In 1171 Since' then the population
haa exactly doubled and wealth trebled.
The amount of Industrial insurance In
this period has grown from 1443,072 to
3,r77.(M7.ff74, or 7,87$ fold, and the number
of policies has Increased from 4,910 to
23,934,44.1, or 4,Kf fold. The wage earner
has gained even more In opportunities
for saving and in. capacity for saving
than has the salaried, man and those of
small means.
' It Is true of both classes that the re
suit of the changes In wealth during the
periods now under consideration halve
greatly added to the happiness of th
average man, to his safety and that of
his family for the future and to his share
In the wealth of the country. This Is
one of the many reasons and the chief
reason -why., there are fewer anarchists
In the United States than In any other
land and why the socialist vote Is small
er in proportion to the total' vote than
In England, France, Germany or any
other of th large clvillxed lands. Phila

Miss Paxson Writes
of Conditions in China
Miss Sunsn Paxson. of the Omaha
High school faculty, received a Christ
mas letter "a,t week from her sister,
Ruth Paxson, saying that she would
spend her Christmas In Tien Tsln. China,
where several thousand refugees from ths
Interior districts have been flocking dur
ing the recent revolution.
Ruth Poxson Is secretary of the foreign
mission branch of the local Young Men's
Christian association and ' has been
actively engaged In this work for the last
three years. he expects to remeln In
China for the next two year.
In her letter, Miss Paxson writes that
the conditions In Tien Tsln are deplorable
and most unsanitary. Many of the refu
gees are starving and diseased, very few
of them having anything to eat save
what they can beg about the city or
obtain from the meaner bread lines that
hsve been established, nor have they any
hospital attention except that of a small
branch of Red Cross workers. Thousands
of the peasants are flocking to tha coast
towna since the revolution tins become
so violent, leaving their belongings be
hind them. The mission workers find

.nervy Salesman Takea Fall Oat of
Drasejae Packer aad Gets
Job.
tWil some ten yesrs ago It was an
axiom in the big packing house circles of
Chicago that a salesman should be
guided by four rules' as laid down by
one of the famous heads of that Industry.
He Was noted for Tnl brusqueness, and
also a democratic nature that scorned
the usual hedge of clerks that stands be
tween a big man and his callers.
A bright, manly-looking chap entered
the office one day when he wa very
busy. i
"Good morning." he began politely.
"Well, what the blankety-blank-blank
do you want?" he growled.
"I want civil treatment. And I want It
blankety-blank-blahk quick," came the
harp answer.
"Oh!" The packer looked up In sur
prise. Modulating hi voice a trifle, tie
asked: "What can I do for you?"
"I want a job as a salesman. I have
worked as a butcher. I have worked in
the packing houses, and I have sold
smaller lines to the meat trade. I !iave
references to prove that I deliver the
goods, and I have them with me. I want
to get Into a bigger field, and I am here
to make good. Have you got a Job?"
"If w haven't, we'll make an opening
for you. Report to the sales manager
Monday morning."
As the young man started to leave the
office the brusque old packer called him
back. ,
"Do you know why you got that Job?"
he asked. I
"No, sir."
"Well, you have the , three essentials
that make a good salesman. I'll point
them out to you. so you'll remember 'em.
First, you don't think; any man Is better
than you are, and you have the nerve to
stick to It. Second, you know the good
points of what' you had to sell. Third,
you stated them In the fewest possible
words.) I'll add a fourth get out before
I change my -mind." Business and Book

"I have been In very poor health for
years." said Mr. II. N. Trane, a well
known carpenter residing at Ml ; Flor
ence avenue, city. In discussing the mer
its of th new Mtonic, 'Tona Vita,' re
cently. "I have had stomach trouble for years,
my. appetite was poor nnd when I did
eat anything rs would form on my
stomach and cause misery for some time.
My bowels were badly constipated!. The
slightest exertion would cause palpita
tion of the heart. Everything seamed
wrong with me. 1 was so nervous that I
didn't sleep well. The uric acid In my
blood Caused my Joints to swell and pain
me constantly. My liver and kldireys
were also affected.
"I treated with various physicians, who
diagnosed my case ns catarrh of the
stomach. I tried ail kinds of remedies
but without success. I finally heard of
a new remedy callrd Tona Vita' and de
cided to give It a trial. I began to Im
prove from the first dose and' now after
only ten days' treatment I am a well
man. I fppl that I cannot say enough In
prn'se of this great tonic."
"We are meeting people each day and
the rale of the tonic In Omaha Is now
very large," said one of the specialists
who are here Introducing 'Tona Vita' to
the'publlc. "I have recently received re
ports from other cities and the sale In
all of them Is tremendous. In fact, the
demsnd has by-en so large and so sudden
that It has been impossible to prepare
the tonic fast enough to take, care of It.
The Approved Formula company Is re
ceiving wires from druggists everywhere
asking for the medicine, but at present
It Is Impossible to fill these orders. I.Ms
demand Is all the more remarkable when
you consider that the tonic was unknown
on this side of the water until a few
months ago;
"No medicine could be so tremendously
successful unless It had a mission to ac
complish, and was accomplishing that
mission. "Tona Vita" Is nccomplishtiig
Its mission. It Is making V'reir-out, de
bilitated, nervous men and women hap
pier, healthier and better able to cope
with life.
"Nervous debility Is the curse of this
age. It Is 'produced by the strain of
modern life. The symptoms of this
trouhl are little vlt.lllv nr amhitinn
tired, dragging feeling of the mind and
body, nervousness and depression of spir
its, stomach and liver trouble, constipa
tion, cold feet , and susceptibility to
coughs and colds.
"Tona Vita" is relieving thousands of
this miserable condition. It will posi
tively do this, where there Is not serious
organic troubles. In a remarkably short
time. The medicine benefits from the
very first dose.
