High School Cadets
in Argument Over
Military Discipline
Quartermaster Robert -Marshall of the
High School cadets has been temporarily
demoted for slapping Private Lyman
l'lillllps In the face with the flat of his
sword. Captain J. A. Strltzluger. com
mandant of cadets, will give the two
cadets a hearing Monday before It Is
officially announced that Marshall is de
moted. "The affair aroso out of a misunder
standing of rules," said Principal Kate
McIIugh of the high school. "The boys
were returning from drill and Marshall
was detailed by a superior officer to
keen order In tho room.
"Most of the boys had their hats off,
but Phillips was wearing his, believing it
was military. Marshall ordered him to
take off his hat and, when he refused, he
took it off and handed It to him none
too gentlv, 1 suppose.
"Phillips put his hat on again, and
Marshall struck him with Ills sword.
. Neither of tho boys were Injured. While
It may sound like a great row,, there Is
nothing much to It. Tho boys have dis
played a fine spirit, and whatever the
commandant docs they will abide by tho
decision. They lost their tempera and
both are sorry."
The matter has bcon taken up with
Superintendent Graff, but he refused to
interfere. "It Is purely a matter of mili
tary discipline," lie said, "and In such
cases we leave it absolutely with the
military authorities. That is the under
standing with commandant."

The symptoms which indicate the need
of a spring tonlo are: First, sleep poorly.
Second, always tired out. Third, very
nervous. Fourth, sometimes have foolUh

Sixth, brown moving specks 'before th

WATERJBOARD MEMBER
SHOVELS WOMAN'S WALK
Charley Sherman, vice chnirman of the
Water board, is a regular mud shovelor,
according to his confession at the meet
ing of the board Friday.
"Conditions on the route of the Twenty-eighth
uvenue water main are awful,"
he said. "Simply awful. Now, you gen
tlemen listen, for I want you to agree
with me that conditions are awful," as
certain contractors displayed no sign of
Interest In the discourse.
"An old lady came to me and asked
me If as a member of the Water board
could help her. Mud was piled up on
her sidewalk nnd on her lawn. I looked
up the case and found conditions as she
described.
"I told her 1 would shovel that mud
off tho walk myself. Easter Sunday I
took off my coat, got a shovel and cleared
her walk. I finished the work at 5
o'clock. An hour later a cyclone hit the
place."
Whatever the moral Is Sherman did
not explain. Ho waited a long time for
his. story to soak in and then decided it
had been properly absorbed.
"Awful," he concluded as ho sat down
and called the meeting to order "Don't
blame 'em for kicking."

please a friend. I had no faith In It.
but 1 was soon convinced. Peruna Is the
best medicine on tho market for the re

Mr. B. S. Irvin, Mayor of Washington,
On., says that he uses Peruna In his fam
ily as a 'tonic, nnd he often recommends
it to Ills friends. He also says that as a
remedy for colds and catarrhal diseases
and a a tonic he regards It as superior
to all other remedies.
Mr. Jay G. Hicks, Autaugaville, Ala

His Financial Needs
M. Baglev of Central City, who came
to Omaha several days ago for a good
time, was brought to remember that he

Sonor Van Duscn, who, by putting two

In Omaha at the time of the tornndo and
had a two-dollar check blown from his
pocket over into Iowa.
This led them to the Bankers SaMngs
association, Sixteenth nnd Dodge streets,
where Bagley had 2 on depot.
