THE BEEz OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1915. 5 KAISER BURIED AT LAYING OF CORNERSTONE Woodmen Announce $1,250, 000 Bond Subscription at Ceremones Held After Parade. Brie) City News The kaiser was hurled headlong into his grave and the crown prince, LudendorrT, Von Hindenburg and Von Tirpitz were "strung up" amid wild enthusiasm of the multitude at the cornerstone laying exercises of the Tower of Liberty on court house square at noon Monday. Tlie exercises rrre under direc tion of the Woodmen of the World and W. A. Trascr. sovereign com mander, aroused still more enthu siasm when he announced that the or der has signed up for $1,250,000 worth of the Fourth Liberty loan bonds, the largest single subscrip tion to the bonds in the central west. The exercises were preceded by a parade which started at the Wood men of the World building. Four wlvippet tanks led, shooting as they went. Then came a platoon of po lice and a band. Kaiser's Casket Carried. Next the casket of the kaiser was borne along. Following this came the crown prince, LudendorrT, Hin denburg and Von Tirpitz, all accu rately represented and guarded by a squad of Home Guards. They were followed by a detachment of German soldiers looking rather the worse for wear. The sovereign offi cers of the Woodmen Liberty loan committee, mayor, city and county commissioners, Advertising and Selling league, bank officials, rep resentatievs of the labor unions and others and employes of the Wood men with another band completed the parade. Cheers and hisses came from the great noonday crowd on the streets. Arriving at the foot of the Tower of Liberty, the casket was borne up to the upper platform and the ob sequies began, very odd obsequies, indeed. The casket with the pall bearers and a firing squad of Home Guards occupied the upper platform of the tower and W. A. Fraser "officiated." While this tableau was presented the Woodmen quartet led the au dience in singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Mr. Fraser then, in solemn manner, with a few ap propriate remarks, bade the pall bearers to "consign the remains of Kaiser Wilhelm tenderly to their last resting place." Impressive Ceremony. Thereupon the pallbearers lifted the coffin above their heads and with all their might hurled it into the "grave" in the center of the tower foundation. . "And now," said Mr. Fraser, we will deposit upon the casket our emblems of love and esteem." At this word the pallbearers and others hurled brickbats and other missiles down upon the smashed askct. "One last salute to the departed monarch," said the sovereign com mander. . But the home guards, instead ot firing the "salute" into the air, turned their guns right into the grave ana fired through the casket there reposing amid the debris. Accomplices Hung. The kaiser having been thus dis posed of, a look around discovered hi four accomplices standing in despair. Hands were laid on them and they were hustled to where waiting ropes were dangling. These were quickly fastened and they were jerked up into the air. here they hung suspended, kicking out the last remnants of their evil lives. At the same time red fire began to cast its angry glare from the kaiser s grave, showing that the demons be low had already started to give him "his." , , . . , A great cheer and laughter and applause burst from the multitude, and a banner was dropped from the tower bearing the device, 'To Hell with the Kaiser." The audience sang "Over There from 3,500 leaflets distributed through the crowd. Then the cornerstone was laid by Sovereign Commander Fraser, Sov ereign Advisor Jewell, Sovereign Clerk Yates and Chairman of Sover eign Auditors Fitzgerald. Mr. Fraser then . announced the Woodmen subscription of ?l,50,uuu In a short address. . The exercises closed with the sing ing of "America" by the audience. The Woodmen subscription to the First Liberty loan was the Second Liberty loan $750,000 and to the third, $1,040,000. Omaha Officer is Chosen for Special Training 1 1 R. C.

It is estimated that compared with the average of former years, the crop will be about 50 per cent.

Rains last week, while not heavy, ranging from one-fourth to one and one-haif inch of precipitation, were fairly well distributed. WOMAN'S FITNESS FOR WAR WORK There's no question of women's right to enter war activities to take the place of the men now at the front. In deed they would seem to have many points of superiority over men in some of the indus trial fields which they are now entering. But to take men's burdens, the women must be strong must have iron nerves and good blood. So many wom en them Havs are frail, nerv ous, borne down by the pains and aches peculiar to their sex. A sex tonic and nerve builder is needed, such as Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription. An affection confined to women must have its cause in the womanly nature. There is no doubt that a diseased condition of the delicate womanly organs, is in general re sponsible for feminine nervousness and an undermined constitution. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription makes women happy by making them healthy. There are no more crying spells. "Favorite Prescription" is an herbal tonic for female weakness. It makes weak nrnmen RtrontT. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been for nearly 50 years the most favorably known herbal tonic for women. Ask your neighbors!
