27 A. R.GROH.
Have yon ever been in the new
court house between Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets on Cuming
street. Well, let's go up there and
look it over.
Oh, you say it isn't up there. No,
but it might be, might it not? If it
had been built there instead of where
it is, it would be there. Can't deny
that, can you? Today we will just
rearrange Omaha a bit and see how
it looks.
We'll put the Brandeis stores be
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets just east of the court house,
and Burgess-Nash on the same street,
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth.
The Woodmen of the World build
ing is at the southeast corner of
Twentieth and Cuming streets, and
the City National bank building is
just a block north.
The Bee building is just across the
street from the court house. The
First National bank building is at
Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets.
High School There, Too.
The high school stands on a hill
facing Twenty-eighth street and two
blocks north of Cuming, where it can
easily be reached by the street car
line on Twenty-eighth.
The beautiful Union station is lo
cated at Sixteenth and Cuming streets
and the Union Pacific bridge spans
the river directly to the east.
The Fontenelle hotel is at Seven
teenth and Cuming streets, the Pax-
ton is a block north ot that ana tne
Castle and Rome a block south.
The Dostoffice occupies the block
hounded by Nineteenth, Eighteenth,
Webster and Cuming streets, beauti
fully terraced.
You will find the city hall on the
northwest corner of Nineteenth and
Burt streets, just a block south of
Cuming street.
From the city hall, a wide boule
vard with parked space, grass, trees,
flower beds and walks in the center
extends diagonally toward the south
east to the main entrance of Hanacom
park, which occupies the space be
tween Sixteenth and Tenth streets,
from Farnam to Leavenworth streets.
Parks in Close.
A similar boulevard extends from
the city hall southwest to the entrance
to Elmwood park at Twenty-sixth and
Dodge streets. This park extends
from Dodge to Harney and trom
Twentv-sixth to Thirty-sixth streets.
Street car service is excellent Sev
eral lines start at the Union station
and run out Cuming street through
the business district One of these
turns north to twenty-eighth street,
traversing various streets until it
reaches the mterurban station at
Fiftv-ninth street and Nebraska ave
nue, where swift interburan cars start
for Norfolk and O'Neil and also for
Sioux City and points in South Dakota.
Another line turns south on .twenty
second street, passes St. Joseph's hos
pital on the hill at Dodge and Twenty-second
streets, and traverses the
Farnam street resident district. An
other goes directly out Cuming street
to Dundee without a turn, stopping
at Fort Omaha at Fifty-fourth street
and Underwood avenue.
A large tract of country between
Sixteenth and Twenty-fourth streets,
south of Vinton street, which is now
(arm land is about to ba plated for
residences.
Verdict for The Bee In
$20,000 Libel Suit
A tlearl verdict for the defense is
the outcome of the case of Baily
against The Bee Publishing company,
which has been on trial in Judge Ked-
irk'a court during the last few days.
The plaintiff in this case waa Mrs.
Olive Bailey of South Omaha, who
was asking $20,000 damages to her
reputation, growing out of the report
in The Bee of the attempted eviction
of a destitute family, consisting of a
mother and five children, one Of them
an infant on a zero weather day of
January last year.
The Bee had oleaded truth and ius
tification and summoned a large num
ber of witnesses to prove conditions
as thev existed.
The arguments were made on be
half of Mrs. Bailey by Attorneys
Timblin and Hugh A. Mevers, and on
behalf of The Bee by Attorneys W.
J. Connell and Stanley Rosewater.

MISS MARGARET
The police of Portsmouth, N. H.,
are unable to solve the mystery of the
double suicide of Miss Margaret
Spaulding, a Wellesley college girl,
and her chum, Miss Ethel Stanton.
The couple committed suicide in a
cafe, by shooting, a week ago. The
women left a note signed "Ethel and
Peggy," which read:
"We have experienced perfect love
for each other and cannot bear the
thought of separation. So we will end
it all." ,
- Between the Stanton girl, the rich
student in the fashionable Dana Hall
school in Wellesley, and the young
and beautiful teacher of physical cul
ture, existed, according to friends of
both, one of those strange attractions
No New Top Prices On
The Omaha Grain Exchang?
While no new top prices on grain
were marked up on the Omaha Grain
exchange, prices were strong and
practically unchanged from Tuesday.
Wheat was sliehtlv hieher. selling at
$2.01 to $2.05 per bushel. Tuesday
there was a carload sold at Jl.ua, but
this was of a superior quality and
realty was not an index of the mar
ket price, generally. Receipts for the
day were seventeen carloads.
Corn sold around $1.15 to $1.17. the
general run of the sales being about
Vi cent up, though the high was the
same as Tuesday. Receipts were
twenty-nine carloads.
Oats were unchanged, selling at
62 !4 cents to 63 cents per bushel,
with twelve carloads on the market.
Wheat Fields North of
The Platte Not Damaged
General Manasrer Walters of the
Northwestern is back from a trip over
company lines in Nebraska. North
of the Platte river he found the win
ter wheat crop in splendid condition,
but is of the opinion that in the area
to the south considerable damage
has occurred on account of the freez
ing last winter.
everywhere Mr. Walter found
farmers preparing to put in a large
crop and in the area where the win
ter wheat has been damaged the
ground will be plowed up, aowed to
spring wheat or oats or planted to
corn. .

found weirdly scattered here and
there in the love history of the world.
Ethel Stanton, thin, somewhat
anaemic and evidently on the verge
of nervous decline, had, according to
Wellesley acquaintances, apparently
found a soul mate" in Peggy Spauld
ing, one of the most imposing of
Newton's younger beauties.
Defying every effort of friends to
break it up, the uncanny love affair
proceeded to that point, when, fear
ing even short separation, they ended
their lives with two shots that created
a panic in the Portsmouth restaurant
Miss Spaulding was 18 years of
age, and came from Newton, Mass.
Miss Stanton was 22 and her home
was in Cincinnati.
Court House is Getting
Up a Little Enthusiasm
The wave of patriotism has finally
hit the court house but not with as
resounding a thud as the real Ameri
cans there had anticipated. Many
offices are displaying nags from win
dows. County Clerk Dewey started
the ball rolling when two large silk
flags were hung in windows facing
Farnam street 1 he election commis
sioner followed suit. Others have
threatened to become patriotic
County Commissioner Bedford some
time ago issued an order that two
flags be kept flying frum the court
house twenty-four hours a day. The
order wasn t carried out but the
commissioner finds solace in the fact
that he issued it, anyway.

stated that it is the aim of himself
and associates to standardize the farm

JUDGE SEAES MAKES TALK
Pupils of the eighth grade of the
Webster school visited criminal court
in the court house Wednesday morn
ing as part of their year's program
in the class in civics. Miss Clara F.
Cooper, principal of the school, and
Miss Ora M. Russell, their teacher,
accompanied them.
Judge Sears, presiding judge of the
district court, called a short recess
in a case he was hearing and came
down from the bench to talk to the
students. The judge explained the
functions of the courts and the part
they play in the life of the commun

Without Dieting
or Exercise
Thli Is the time when fat people ahould
be thinking about reducing their weight and
should stop making the fat that is aueh a
burden to them. The best war and the
easiest war is the one about which to much
has been said and written this past year.
This way is the Marmola war. The famous
Marmola Prescription has been prepared in
tablet form. These little tablets contain
nothing bnt the elements that go to change
the best things that produce fat into good,
strong blood, nerves, tissues and bone. More
than this, these tablets absorb and remove
the fat remaining at the rate of two, three
or four pounds a week. You must not con
fuse Marmola Prescription Tablets with
harmful patent drugs and hurtful reducing
methods. These tablets go into your stomach
jiut like the food you eat. They build up
the juices of your digestive organs and cor
rect these juices so that they produce no
more fat. They are harmless, yet thousands
of men and women all over this land today
are of firm figures and normal sizes be
cause of these little tablets. This is why
every druggist everywhere carries them in
stock and will sell them to you. If your
druggist does not have them or you would
rather send 76 cents, the price of a ease, to
the Marmola Company, 864 Woodward Ave.,
Detroit, Mich., they will send them to you
at once in a plain package, postage paid.

Parisian Cloak Co.'s Closing

"Trenches" Still Filled
With Battlers for
Bargains.
EVERY DAY COUNTS BIG
NOW
In its second week, with no
signs of abatement! Crowds just
as much in evidence as during the
memorable first days of the sell
ing. THE PARISIAN CLOAK
CO.'S Closing Out Sale is still the
topic of conversation among
women who need Spring wearables
and who know when the proper
sorts are offered them -at ridicu
lously low prices.
In fact, THE PARISIAN
CLOAK CO., at 318-320 South
16th St., is accomplishing just
what it started out to accomplish,
namely: To clear out its entire
stock of Women's Suits, Coats,
Dresses, Skirts, Petticoats, etc., at
any prices to effect a sale before
the coming of "The Wreckers,"
who will soon storm the building
with their picks, axes and shovels.
Any item yet remaining unsold
will be sold at last week's unchal
lenged discounts 14, Vi and
even Vs off. Just at present THE
PARISIAN makes matters doubly
interesting by offering at only
$13.75 each, a line of Women's ex
tremely late Spring Suits that
were bought only a few weeks
ago to retail at $25. Just before
receiving notice to vacate this
building, THE PARISIAN had
made to its special order, 100
Women's Suits of decidedly snappy
line and material. The suits were
ordered of a New York maker of
note. The maker would not accept
a countermand, and the goods have
arrived by express within the past
few days. They are here subject
to your will and are yours at only
$13.75 even though bearing
every earmark of $25 garments.
In fact, they ARE $25 garments,
for they were bought with a fixed
idea of retailing at $25. They are
worth it.
The stock in general at THE
PARISIAN is still fairly represen
tative, even though undermined by
almost two weeks of determined
selling. The stock, however, was
so large in the first place that
even now a woman might find al
most any desired design, shade or
size at the well advertised reduc
tions M, W and Vi off.
Remember this CLOSING
OUT SALE is thorough, all in
clusive and hasn't quite yet reach
ed its zenith, for there still re
main thousands of buying oppor
tunities. It's more than true: "The
Wreckers Are Coming" conse
quently every wearable item now
on hand here is offered at prices
born of desperation.
Come in. If you see a garment
to strike your fancy, don't worry
about the price, for that SURELY
will be low enough.
Dorft be discouraged
My face was even worse than yours
till I found that the regular use of
Resinol Soap
clears pimply skins
Just wash your (ace with Resinol Soap
and hot water, dry and apply gently a
little Resinol Ointment. Let this stay
on for ten minutes, then wash off with
more Resinol Soap. In a few days
pimples, redness and roughness simply
vanish t I know that sounds too good
to be true but it is true. Try it and see !

UR YOU?
Many Doctors Use Musterole
So many sufferers have found relief
In Musterole that you ought to buy a
small jar and try it
Just spread it on with the fingers Rub
it in. First you feel a gentle glow, then
a delicious, cooling comfort Musterole
routs the twinges, loosens up stiffened
joints and muscles.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. It penetrates
to the scat of pain and drives it away,
but does sot blister the tenderest skin.
It takes the place of the mussy, old
fashioned mustard plaster.
Musterole is recommended for bron
chitis, croup, asthma, pleurisy, lumbago,
neuralgia, sprains, bruises, stiff neck,
headache and colds of the chest (it often
prevents pneumonia).
