BOOKKEEPER FOR

CO. TESTIFIES
Mrs. Jackson Forced to Quit
Work on Account of Bad
Health; Tanlac Re
stores Her.
"Just a few weeks ago I was so
badly run down that I had to stop
working, but Tanlac has built me
up so fine that I have just gone to
work in a new position," said Mrs.
Jessie B. Jackson, bookkeeper for
the Cudahy Packing Co. in South
Omaha, who lives at 79 Drake
Court, corner Twenty-second and
Jones street, the other day.
"A few months ago," she contin
ued, "when I returned from San An
tonio, Texas, where I had been liv
ing for a while, I took a position in
a store here. The hard work and
close confinement undermined my
health and I began to go down very
fast. I lost my appetite, and suf
fered from frequent attacks of in
digestion, when my food would sour
on my stomach and formed so much
fan that it pressed on my heart till
felt like 1 was going to smother.
My head ached constantly and I
would get so dizzy at times that I
could hardly stand on my feet. I
was so nervous and felt so miser
able from a pain in my chest that
I could hardly sleep. I fell off in
weight, was as pale as a sheet and
felt tired and languid all the time.
I knew I needed a complete rest
and something to build me up, so
I gave up my position and stayed
at home for a while.
"Then I recalled that while I was
down in San Antonio I heard a
great deal about Tanlac and the
good it was doing, so I decided to
try it and got me a bottle. It
wasn't long after I started on it
when my appetite returned, and as
my digestion improved a fresh,
healthy color came into my face,
which showed that my food was do
ing me good. I can eat anything
I want now and never have the least
bit of trouble with gas or smother
ing spells. Those awful headaches
have left me, I never feel dizzy
and my nerves are so quiet that I
sleep all night like c child. I have
gained five pounds in weight and
feel so well and strong that I am
back at work once more, just as
if nothing was ever the matter with
me at all."

hogs on tha market today. 105 loads, es
timated at 7,400 head. While shippers
bought a few more than yesterday, their
purchases were not sufficient to create a
distinctly shipper market. The packer
market was scattered over a wider range

25c lower. The long string being from
$17.90 to $18.00, with a wide bulk of $17.80

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Peace Llquldalon Bring About Setback In
Corn Market; Oata Unchanged.
Chicago, Oct. 8. Renewed peace liquida
tion brought about a sharp setback today
In the value of corn and far more than
offset an upturn which had resulted from
prospects that the Washington answer to
the German note would be Inflexible. The
market closed weak. The market was
lc to 4c lower with November $1.18
to $1.19 and December $1.18 to $1.19.
Oats finished unchanged to c up and
provisions at declines of 10c to $1.
Bearish sentiment as to corn did not
develop until after midday and although
tho effect was radical, appeared to have
no more definite basis than a report
that the Turkish cabinet had resigned.
The new selling movement which accom
panied the report seemed to be associated
with guesses that Turkey might suddenly
Imitate Bulgaria and made an uncondi
tional surrender. Swift breaks which en
sued in price contrasted greatly with the
earlier upward course of the market and
with a widespread assumption that the re
ply to Oermany would be virtually con
fined to shorts. New speculative selling
as well as unloading by holder character
ized the late collapse.
Seaboard and domestic shipping demand
upheld oats despite the weakness of corn.

Market Dull and Irregular;
Interest Centers Mainly
in Shippings ; Indus
trial Shares Rally.
New York, Oct. 8. Irregular strength
much of which was dlsslptacd In the
finul hour, intended the moderate, vplume
of operations on the stock exchange to
day, dealings falling to the smallest total
of any full sr salon in the past fortnight.
The comparative dullness was attribut
ed mainly to an announcement made
early in the day of President Wilson's
intention lo make public a statement
dealing with the peace proposals of the
central allies after the market's close.
Interest centers to an unusual degree In
shippings, trading In Marine preferred at
an extreme of 4 points far exceeding
the Inquiry for any other issue. Marine
common and the 6 per cent bonds also
were strong, foreshadowing completion
of the long deferred deal with British
Interests.
Industrial shares rallied generally during
the morning from their recent heaviness,
all the leading steels and equipments re
cording gains of 1 to 2 points, with
reverse movements in some of the "peacs"
Issues, notably oils, the latter breaking
sharply toward the end.
American Telephone again led related
utilities to higher levels, but coppers
were Irrgulare on Intimations of adverse
trade conditions.
Inactive specialties developed an un
certain trend and rails ignored the ex
cellent crop report, which surpassed re
cent forecasts.
Impending developments abroad ac
counted for renewed weakness in ex
change to neutral countries, Spanish
remittances establishing a new minimum.
Dealings in bonds were firm, but con
fusing, Liberty 3s reacting to par,
while Internationals wero firm, French
government 6s amounting to the year's
record quotation at $1.01. Total sales
(par value) aggregated $10,875,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

WELLARD HERE
FOR WAR FUNDS
Gene Melady Urged to Pro
mote Ring Contests Be
tween Heavyweight- Box
ers and Wrestlers.
"I will furnish Miske, pay my own
expenses and do not want a cent,
provided the show is held for a
worthy war benefit," wired Jack
Reddy of Minneapolis, manager of
Billy Miske,- light-heavyweight
champion of the world, in response
to a request for terms from Gene
Melady, Omaha sporting promoter.
The request was for a 10-round
benefit to be held in Omaha with
Jess Willard, heavyweight cham
pion of the world. Miske has long
been anxious for a match with Wil
lard and while in Omaha for the
Elke' carnival requested Melady to
secure a match between the two.
Negotiations have been in
progress since that time with Wil
lard and although the Omaha sport
ing man will make no definite state
ment it is rumored that Willard, in
face of the continuous cry of the
sporting public, has decided to ap
pear for war benefits instead of in
sisting on Willard benefits.
"Cheese' Champ May Appear.
His continual sidestepping of ben
efit bouts has won him the title of
"cheese" champion and unless he
changes his tactics it is doubtful if
he will be able to secure further
matches either beore or after the
close of the war. Miske is the logi
cal man to meet Willard and as a
benefit the match should be a good
drawing card in Omaha.
Jack Dempsey, the only other big
caliber contender, was forced to ex
ert himself to win a newspaper de
cision over Willie Neehan recently
on the coast. Miske easily outpoint
ed Meehan in a match held a short
time previous and many boxing fans
are of the opinion that he should be
given the title held by Willard
through the champion's refusal to
meet other contenders unless
guaranteed prohibitive purses.
In addition to the proposed box
ing match negotiations are said to
be under way to bring to Omaha the
est wrestling talent now in the
United States. Should these two at
tractions be carded together Omaha
would have the biggest card for a
benefit match that has been staged
since the war started.
John I'csek, the Shelton grappler.
has long been anxious for a clash
with "Peerless Joe" Steelier. Chi
cago newspapers recently announc
ed that the sailor wrestler would
meet Pesek, providing Melady
would stage the match.
John immediately wired his man
ager, I.arry I.ichtenstein in Chicago,
announcing his willingness to meet
Joe and on any terms. Mr. Melady
admits that he has been in com
munication with both men, but is
unable to state whether a match
will be arranged.
"I will have no hand in promot
ing any athletic event that the en
tire proceeds with the exception of
necessary expenses does not go to
a war fund." said Mr. Melady. "If
by promoting events of this kind
I can add to the needs and pleasures
of the boys who are sacrificing their
all for their country I will willingly
donate my time to make them a success."
Uncle Sam to Prosecute
Owner of "Hop" Layout
John J. Conlon, 1507 Binney street,
who was arrested Monday by Offi
cer Dunn, was turned over to the
federal authorities Tuesday, along
with a quantity of opium, morphine,
cocaine and a complete outfit of
dope smoking paraphernalia which
was found in Conlon's possession
when arrested.
The charge against Conlon in the
federal court is violation of the
opium act of 1909. Conlon is listed
in the city directory as a salesman.
Thieves Steal Tools.
Burglars broke into a building un
der construction at South Thirty
second and T streets and stole the
carpenter tools left there, according
to the complaint made to the police
of the South Side by J. W. Nolan,
8615 South Twenty-ninth street.

BOXING Jack Dempsey against Bat
tling Levinsky, tlx rounds, at Philadel
phia. Billy Miske against Clay Turner,
six rounds, at Philadelphia.
A hard fought contest is billed
for Saturday at Rourke park when
teams from Central High and Coun
cil Bluffs High once more attempt
to met on the gridiron. Diplomatic
relations between the schools were
severed three years ago after a fis
tic encounter was staged between
members of the opposing teams.
Council Bluffs is out after blood
and Central is equally hot for vic
tory, feeling keenly her defeat last
week.
The outcome of the fray is far
from certain. Council Bluffs has a
good team this year, although it was
weakened recently by the loss of
three players who joined the Stu
dents' Army Training corps at
Bcllevue. The mere mention of
the local team to the boys across
the river is almost sufficient to start
an offensive that might easily end
on the other side of the goal line.
Councl Bluffs' fear of the big Om
aha school will also be lessened by
its performance last Friday.
Fans Still Back Central.
With the loss of her initial contest
Central High lost many of its sup
porters, but many who have watched
the team this season with critical
eyes and a cool head are still confi
dent that it is capable of finishing
the season with a good record.
Coach Mulligan has confidence in
his men and after a week of hard
practice will exhibit a combination
worthy of the O. H. S. mark. He
is retaining Campbell at quarter and
expects to surprise his critics with
the performances of his new quar
ter. As yet the Central coach has
made little progress in the aerial
branch of the game. Harper has a
neat pass good for much longer
gains than those used last year. The
I snag comes in training the ends to
pull it from the air and make It
good.
Iowa to Play Illinois in Open
ing Game; No Contests
Sot for Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
Chicago, Oct. 8. Foot ball
schedules of the "Big Ten" were
completely revised at a special meet
ing of the coaches and athletic di
rectors here today to confer with the
War department ruling limiting the
teams to two 48-hour trips next
month. All games previously
scheduled for October were cancel
led. The season will open on Novem
ber 2, and close on November 30, '
the Saturday following Thanksgiv
ing. None of the coaches attempted
to schedule Thanksgiving day games ;
with conference elevens, but as holi-
day foot ball has been a big at
traction in the midwest, some of
the coaches undoubtedly will ar-'
range games with service elevens.
The opening games will bring to
gether Iowa and Illinois, Northwest
ern and Michigan and Chicago and
Purdue. '
The revised schedule follows:
