Constipation and Indigestion.
" These are twin evils,. Persons suf
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs.
Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111., writes"
that when she first moved to Mattoon
she was a great sufferer from indiges
tion and constipation, food dis
tressed her and there was a feeling
like a heavy weight pressing on her
stomach and chest. She did not rest
well at night and felt worn out a good
part - of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain's Tablets corrected this
trouble, so that she has since felt like
a different person. Advertisement.

a spirited exhibition of fighting it

Catches Man With
The Eggs on Him;
Guess the Sequel
Although M. H. Lee may be con
sidered a bad egg by N. M. Benson,
night cook of the Night and Day
restaurant, 320 South Fifteenth street,
he was more tike an omelet when po
lice arrested him Wednesday evening.
For the last three nights Lee, ac
cording to Benson, had been calling
at the restaurant and by telling a hard
luck story had been' supplied with oc
casional fodder. Somehow the night
cook found that hit supply of eggs
seemingly diminished every time Lee
departed. The last straw was when
the restaurant ran out of eggs Tues
day evening after having had nearly
a case full earlier in the evening. The
cook then made up his mind to watch
his hungry friend.
Wednesday evening Benson made a
hurried trip to a small room in the
rear and saw Lee just departing,
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he
queried.
"Say, give me something to eat, I'm
hungry, will you?"
When the cook came neaier, Lee
started on a dead run down the alley.
When caugh', Lee blurted out. "I
stole the eggs, beat me up, it would
certainly serve me right. He ad
mitted that he had five dozen in his
possession then.
Mashed, eggs oozed out of every
pocket of Lee when the event was
over. He alsd had two blackened
eyes and a head of hair so matted
with broken hen fruit that police say
he will not have to take a shampoo
for years. He was charged with petit
larceny. - "
Jack Tolliver Loses
Match to Ray Collins
Syracuse, Neb., March 8. (Spe
cial.) A wrestling match was staged
at the Eagle Hall last night between
Jack Tolliver of Omaha and Ray Col
lins, a local boy, both lightweights.
It was the hardest fought match ever
staged here. Tolliver won the first
fall in thirty-three minutes and Col
lins the next two in less time for
both, the last fall being in less than
two minutes.
Nathan Haje Wins Title

Boston, March 8. Nathan Hale of
this city today won the national ama
teur billiard championship at 18.2
balkline. His defeat of T. Henry
Clarkson, also of Boston, by a score
of 400 to 224, made it impossible for
any of the six other championship
contenders to defeat or tie him in the
remaining matches of the round robin
tournament.

CREIGHTON PULLS
THE COYOTES DOWN
Nebraska Wesleyan Unable to
Withstand Fast Work of
Blue and White. '
THIRTY-EIGHT TO TWENTY
Creightoa took the Nebraska Wes
leyan basket ball team into camp at
the Crcighton gymnasium Wednesday
night, 38 to 20, making it three
straight for the Blue and White
squad over Coach Klein's pupils.
The game was unusually free from
fouls, only one personal being called
on the Crcighlou sqaad, while four
were chalked up against the Wesleyan
team. Neither team put up the brand
of basket ball it is capable of turning
out. Team work was sadly lacking
ot. both sides and nothing saved
Creighton from defeat but an ava
lanche of seventeen field goals. Neither
team seemed able to take the ball
down the floor and many a basket
was lost because of poor passing.
At the start it looked as if the out
state team were out to win as the
Coyotes took the lead. The lead see
sawed back and forth during the first
halt with Lreighton being on top, 13
to 9, when time was called.
The second half saw the Haley
Mulholland combination in the Creigh
ton lineup and from their showing last
night they are a hard pair to beat.
Both showed a world of speed on
team work and Haley broke into the
score column with five field goals for
the half. His habit of shooting with
either, hand completely baffled the
Coyote guards.
The Creighton team has nothing
but strenuous work ahead in prepara
tion for the Brandeis conflict on Sat
urday night. Interest in this gam be
comes keener, now that the Creighton
squad has the undisputed champion
ship of Nebraska. The lineup:

Truck Knocks Motor Car
On Viaduct Railing
Clara Reeder, 1618 South Tenth
street, and L. W. Rushing, 4428 South
Twenty-eighth street, narrowly es
caped death Wednesday evening when
the automobile they were riding in
was knocked against the Tenth street
viaduct railing.
An Omaha Transfer truck driven by
Will Hoover, 2101 Douglas street,
coming up the drive from the Union
depot, crashed into the car driven by
Rushing and knocked it against the
railing of the viaduct. The iron was
badly bent outward by the shock. To
many spectators who saw the accident
it appeared as if the car would break
through the 'railing and the occupants
dashed to the ground more than fifty
feet below.
Miss Reeder received a slight con
tusion back of the head. She was
allowed to go to her home following
the smash. Rushing'i car was badly
smashed.

Overland Exhibition
Attracting Big Crowds
The Willys-Overland company,
which is conducting a special exhi
bition of Overland and Willys-Knight
all-year models this week, is demon
strating the possibilities of that form
of exhibiting cars.
The company was unable to show
all its models in the limited space al
lotted at the automobile show last
week and adopted this plan to exploit
the all-year cars. The announcement
of the special exhibition brought out
many visitors, interested in seeing this
latest development of the automobile
industry. The cars are the convertible
type, designed for all-year use and
they are offered on all Overland and
Willys-Knight chasses.
The Overland show room is open
until 10 o'clock every evening and
has been handsomely decorated for
the occasion.
"The careful automobile buyer can
not fail to bee the many advantages
offered by this type of car," said J. R.
Jamison, branch manager. "For a
little more than the price of the tour
ing car he has all the comforts of a
winter limousine for inclement
weather and a car that is practical lor
service under all conditions of weather
and roads. This type of car is not,
as many people seem to think, a
limousine, but. is really an open tour
ing car which may be converted into
a limousine. Instead of flimsy, ill
fitting side curtains, the car is en
closed with comfort in a permanent
top. It lacks nothing that will make
for comfort and conenience whether
operated as a touring car or as a
limousine. It is the ideal combination,
in every way."
