Freedom.
A military funeral was held Sunday
ftemoon at 2:30 o'clock at All Saints'
Episcopal church for Stanley Mackay,
who died last Tuesday of pneumonia,
in an army hospital in Jacksonville,
Fla.
The services were conducted by
Bishop A. L. Williams, assisted by
Rev. Charles H. McKnight. The
chapel of the church where the serv
ices were held was inadequate to care
for the many friends who. attended to
pay their last respects to the young
Nebraska soldier who had gone "over
the top."
Sergeant at Deming.
Stanley Mackay enlisted in the
Sixth Nebraska machine gun com
pany early last spring and accom
panied his regiment to Demin0, N. M.
He ranked as a sergeant until the
breaking up of the regiment when he
was reduced to a private until he had
finished a course of training at the
- quartermaster school at Jacksonville,
where he was assigned. At the com
pletion .of the school course he was to
again be, given a rank of sergeant.
He was 22 years old and a great
favorite among the younger set of
Omaha and with his comrades in
the Sixth regiment
The Episcopal funeral service was
read at the church with hymns by the
vested All Saints' choir. The casket
draped with a large American flag, in
the militav custom, stood with a back
ground of flowers as a testimonial of
the high esteem in which the dead
soldier was held. With the exception
of the set pieces the flowers were
given to local hospitals after the serv
ice.
Give Military Salute.
Burial was private in Forest Lawn,
where after the services a firing squad
of soldiers from Fort Crook fired a
military salute of three volleys. Bu
srler Wendt blew "taps" after which

Omaha family, on a charge of aiding

Railroad Heads Want ,
To Limit U. S. Control
New York, Jan. 14. Railroad execu
tives representing roads and 90 per
cent of the mileage in the United
States, at a conference held here to
day to consider plans for safeguarding
the interests they represent while un.
der federal management, decided to
ask congress to limit government con
trol to the period ot the war. '
The executives believe the bill now
pending in congress is too vague, be
cause it does not set a definite date
for the government to relinquish the
roads.
JUST PICKED
THE RIGHT HAT
, A T WRONG TIME
With the mercury at 23 below last
Friday night, a well dressed man en
tered the Muse theater and ap
proached the ticket window. "One.
downstairs, please," he ordered. The
girl at the window glanced at him and
gasped. He wore a straw hatl The
girl rubbed her eyes and called for
help. Several gallants responded, but
stopped in awe when they spied the
cause of her fright "Call the wagon,"
aid one.
Meanwhile the recipient of all the
attention was apparently as puzzled
as the others were dumbfounded. He
gave himself the once over, and finally
removed his hat One glance sufficed.
"Good Lord, it's a straw." Explana
tions followed. He is a prominent
man in auto row, and, having an hour
to spare, decided to attend the movie.
Having several old hats, he grasped
the first one he came to and, plant
ing it firmly on his head, hurried out
into the cold.
"But I'm going back bare-headed,"
and, slipping the panama under his
coat, he fled into the night.

CITY WINS FIGHT
TO CUT BILLS OF
WORLD-HERALD
Newspaper Revises Its Charge
for City Legal Advertising,
Saving City $216; Ad
mits Overcharges.
Omaha has won its fight against
the World-Herald, whose bills for
official city advertising, October, No
vember and December, were rejected
on account of alleged overcharges.
The World-Herald recalled bills
which totaled $1,83520 and submitted
revised bills to the total amount of
$1,519.10. These figures were given
out by the bill clerk in the city comp
troller's office and the deputy city
clerk, who is checking over the new
bills. The differfnce is $316.20, ac
cording to the city officials.
Revises Charge Basis.
The basis on which the World
Herald proposed to require the city
to pay for official advertising is ex
plained in this manner:
Jf an advertisement was 4.3 squares
the city was charged for five squares
and in every instance any fraction
was counted as a full square. Under
the new method of rendering bills the
overcharge has ' been remedied by
submitting bills according to actual
space used; namely, 4.3 squares.
When the overcharge in the old
bills was discovered the matter was
broueht to the attention ' of the
World-Herald, whose advertising de
oartment contended that its action
was orooer.
Assistant City Attorney TePoel
eave an opinion to the city comptrol
ler that under the contract between
the city and the World-Herald for
official advertising there was no pro
vision tor charging other than on
basis of actual space used and that
a fraction of a square could not be
charged for as a whole square.
Acknowledges Overcharges.
The World-Herald replied that the
matter would be discussed between
its legal department and the city le
gal department.
Meanwhile The Bee Publishing
company entered written objection to
th World-Herald's violation of its
contract agreement and also called at
tention of the mayor and city coun
cil to the narrower columns which
have been charged for on same basis
as the seven-column width.
The action of the World-Herald in
filing the revised bill without com
ment is regarded by city officials as
an acknowledgment of overcharge.

DELICATESSEN
SHOP SLIGHTLY
DAMAGED BYFIRE
Fire of unknown origin started in
the basement of the White & Peltz
delicatessen, 414 North Sixteenth
street, and at midnight for a while
threatened the whole business block
with destruction. Damage, from
smoke and water amounted to several
hundred dollars.
Firemen centered their efforts to
the flames in the basement of the
building before the blaze could spread
to adjoining rooms.
Smoke filled the second story which
is occupied by roomers and drove the
occupants to the street.
A large stock of groceries ' and
meats in the delicatessen was partly
damaged by smoke and water.
A Fight for life!
It has been fight or die for many of
us in the past and the lucky people are
those who have suffered, but who are
now well because they heeded nature 's
warning signal in time to correct their
trouble with that wonderful 'new dis
covery of Dr. Pierce's, called "An-n-rie."
You should promptly heed these
warnings, some of which are dizzy
spells, backache, irregularity of the
urine or the painful twinges of rheu
matism, sciatica or lumbago. To delay
may make possible the dangerous forms
of kidney disease, such as Bright 's dis
ease, diabetes or stone in the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi
tions take plenty of exercise in the
open air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink
freely of water and at each meal take
Doctor Pierce's Anurie Tablets (double
strength). You will, in a short time,
find that you are one of the firm in
dorsers of Anurie, as are thousands of
your neighbors throughout the state of
Nebraska.
Hastings, Nebr. "Dr. Pierce's reme
dies have been used in my home for
many years and always with most satis
factory results. Last summer I learned
of Anurie and at that time I was suf
fering greatly with backache, scalding
water and bladder weakness. One
package of Anurio gave me such relief
that it was months before I found it
necessary to take any medicine. Then
recently I had a recurrence of the same
trouble and took Anurie again.. This
time I had equally as good results in
much shorter time. I can honestly
praise Anurie and consider it on a par
with all Dr. Pierce's other remedies."
Mrs. Alice Parks, 1421 W. 5th St.
Step into the drug store and ask for
Anuria, or send Dr. Pierce of the Surgi
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for trial
pkg. Anurie many times more potent
than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar,
