This Pale-Faced
Defendant Knows
Some Cute Law
A young but obviously far from un
sophisticated prisoner was being ar
raigned in Judge Scars' court on a
charge of forgery.
"Guilty or not guilty?" sing-songed
the judge as he peered over his specta
cles at the pale-faced lad facing him.
"Not guilty, your honor."
"Got an attorney?" interrogated the
court. '
"No.".
"Well," reflected Judge Sears, "Til
just appoint (he public defender to
take your case."
At this juncture the boyish-looking
prisoner broke in with: "May I ask
your honor a question ?"
Being permitted to do so, the lad In
quired of the court if it was not i fact
that a prisoner must be served with
proper notice twenty-four hour be
fore he is arraigned.
"Hasn't he been served with notice
of ' his arraignment," Judge Sears
asked of County Attorney Magney.
M r. Magney turned and put the same
question to one of his assistants. The
assistant iNrohinteercd the information
that the notice had been sent, "but he
didn't know whether it reached him or
not." . '
"Take the prisoner to the county
jail," ordered Judge Sears. "I'll
scratch his pi of 'not Builty.? See

About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets immediately after supper-Advertisement.

If Anyone Wants
City Lamps Now is Time to Ask
'We want light." was the cist of
appeals made bv many citizens before
the ctty council, borne represented
improvement clubs, others spoke for
neighborhoods and many spoke for
themselves.
One of the problems confronting
the city council in connection with
the new lighting system is that of
meeting the expectations of commun
ities which have installed special or
namental systems and are now asking
the city for maintenance. J hese dis
tricts will not come within the pro
visions of the five-year contract with
the light company and it is believed
the city will maintain these outlying
ornamental lamps on a basis of cur
rent used, rather than on a yearly
per.lamp basis.
Residents of Bemis park ' district
want .the, city to maintain 125 100-candle-power
lamps and Minne Lusa
addition- ak.tli same request In
each instance the equipment is ready
and will become the property of the
city after a period of five years. -The
five-year contract makes no specific
provision for situations of that nature
and any arrangement made between
the city and the ttgl.t company will
require special consideration. On the
basis of 4,000 burning hours per year,
and at the rate of 3.3 cents per kilo
watt hour, the 100-candle-power
lamps would be worth $9.24 each a
Brandeis' Buyer is
Guest, at Banquet
B. L, Danforth, who for sixteen
years has" been buyer of cloaks and
suits for the Brandeis stores, was the
guest of honor Wednesday night at
Hotel Loyal, where thirty-four of his
store associates, after a sumptuous
feast, presented him with a seal belt
and an engraved solid gold belt
buckle. Mr. Danforth is leaving
Omaha to become an active partner
in the firm of Fantel Bros, in Sioux
Falls, S. D.
The retiring buyer has seen three
generations of the Brandeis family
at the helm of the big business house
and has watched the store develop
from the little Boston store at Six
teenth and Douglas streets to the
present mammoth plant, the biggest
store in the middle west.
"It is good to know that years spent
in service to a prosperous company
are appreciated," said Mr. Danforth.
"The realization that 1 have made
so many friends here will hearten me
in my new endeavor. I certainly
value highly this testimonial of mu
tual regards and mutual loss."

CODDARDS LINKED
WITH P. 0. ROBBERY
Broken Knife Blade and Stolen
Mackinaw Found On Sus
pects Connects Them Up.
FEDERAL MEN TAKE THEM
With the completion, link by link,
of a chain of circumstantial evidence
gainst them, Frank and Harry God
du.rd, arrested in connection mth the
Winalow bank robbery, have been
turned over to federal authorities,
charged with the robbery of the Fon-
tenelle postollu. on November J, last.
Sheriff VV. C Condit of Fremont,
Charles W. Pipkin, the "Craig Ken
nedy" of ?he Omaha police force, and
Chief of Detectives Steve Maloney
"worked ' ;)" the case.
In the prosecution of the alleged
bandits a broken knife blade and a
mackinaw coat will figure largely,
and it was on this evidence that they
were turned over to the government
officials. Suspicion first fell on the
Goddards when it was learned that
they were in Fontenelle on the day
of the robber,, but this w not con
sidered sufficient to justify their ar
rest, desp'te their alleged long crim
inal records. Then a broken knife
blade was foui.d in the lock of the
door and later it was learned that a
mackinaw coat had been stolen from
the store in which the Fontenelle
poslofficc is located.
With this meager evidence police
officers centered their attention on
the case. On one of the men when
arrested was found a knife with a
broken blade, while the other wore a
mackinaw coat. The knife blade
found in the postoffice door at Fon
tenelle was sent for and it fitted per
fectly the knife taken off one of the
alleged band t? This strengthened
the chain of evidence against the men,
hut the police did not feel sure of
their case until Theodore Sherman
identified the mackinaw.
Each of the defendants was held
under $3,000 bond when arraigned be
fore United States Commission Mc
Laughlin. Sued for Violating the
Twenty-Eight-Hour Law
Suit was filed agains the Adams
Express company for $500 by Tom
S. Allen, United States district attor
ney, for violation of the twenty-eight-hour
law. In the petition the
governm.nt claims that the express
company took a cow for shipment
from a point in Missouri to Surprise,
Neb., and during the trip, which
lasted over fifty-eight hours, the ani
mal was not given proper attention.

You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the 6nger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff that you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon. at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. Adv.

"What are your turkevs going to

householder.
"I can't say. but I understand there
will be a raise of about 4 cents over
the Thanksgiving price. One of the
largest wholesale dealers in turkeys

price was going to jump, and from
