HERE IN FORCE
IN SEPTEMBER
Life Companies From 36
States to Send Delegates
1 Representing 3,000,000
Policy Holders.
Local life insurance men are busy
formulating plans for entertaining
the American Life Convention in
Omaha which is booked for the
week of September 22. This will be
the largest gathering of insurance
men ever brought to Nebraska. Its
delegates will represent 1 19 Ameri
can legal reserve, or old line life
companies, whose offices are lo
cated within 36 states.
The convention will also attract
representatives of 50 life insurance
companies and organizations not
members of the convention.
To give briefly an idea of the im
portance of this event the statement
is made that these companies have
about 3,000,000 policy holders carry
ing more than four billions of dol
lars of life insurance, with reserves
-amounting to more than $400,000,
000. The accumulated assets of the
companies in the American Life
convention exceed $500,000,000.
Six Nebraska legal reserve life in
surance companies are members of
the convention and Nebraska has
been twice honored with the presi
dency of the organization. The sec
retary and counsel is T. W. Black
burn, who has long been a resident
of Omaha.
The significance of this conven
tion is that Omaha is being rec
ognized as a great life insurance
center. It is not generally known
that our home companies chartered
under the laws of Nebraska have a
total volume jpf life insurance in
force amounting to more than $100,
000,000. The program for the three-day
session of the convention has been
prepared by the secretary and will
be published soon.
There will be a banquet at which
some noted speakers will address
the delegates, and there are a num
ber of addresses on the convention
program which will attract wide at
tention among all life insurance
men.
It is stated that the city and
Chamber of Commerce will partici
pate in the program of entertain
ment of the delegates.

Burdette streets by two unidentified
negroes and robbed of $5. He de
clared he was waiting for a street
car when he was accosted by the
bandits and compelled to give up
his cash at the point of a revolver.
Texas Oils
FOR
Big Returns
THE PRESENT MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES
ARE WORTHY OF THE SERIOUS CONSIDERA
TION OF THE MORE CAREFUL INVESTOR.
The Pullman Oil & Refining Company
is operating on a business basis and makes
its sales appeal to the investor who is care
ful in the placing of his money and demands
safety, as well as large returns.
This Company is organized on a sound
financial basis for the reason that ample
cash resources are necessary for the assur
ance of success- The small company puts its
eggs all in one basket and it is only by the
most unusual good fortune that they pay
dividends. The larger company makes a
certainty of production by obtaining scat
tered holdings in proven territory and drill
ing a number of wells on these holdings. It
further provides for the refining and dis
tribution of crude oil and its by-products,
for fully seventy-five per cent of all profits
in this business are made after the oil leaves
the well.
The present holdings of this company total 427 acres
divided in eleven tracts. Three tracts are in the famous
Desdemona gusher oil field; six tracts in the well-known
Duke-Knowles, Comanche County field; one in Coleman
County; and one in Fisher County. We are drilling in
proven territory only and our locations are the pick of
the field in which we are operating. We are now ready
to close on further choice acreage.
To Drill Ten Wells
The immediate drilling program of this company
calls for ten deep wells. Our No. 1, F. M. Daniel, on
the Desdemona Townsite, is now on the oil sands and
will be drilled in as soon as pipe line connections are
made. This well has five neighbors within a circle of
1,500 feet radius, which combined have a total produc
tion reported at oyer 20,000 barrels of oil a day. The
Warren Wagner, alone, at a distance of some 500 feet,
is rated at 8,000 barrels, so you may well see that we are
among the big ones.
Our No. 2, F. M. Daniel, is drilling and its location at
800 yards north of No. 1, justifies the expectation of
big production. -The balance of the wells on the im
mediate program will be started at the earliest possible
moment. There is safety in numbers. We are operat
ing on a sane production program which will get satis
factory results.
Pipe Lines and Refinery
We will have a 8,000-barrel refinery in operation at
the earliest possible moment. This refinery will be built
on the unit system and provision made that its capacity
may be increased at any time. Pipe lines will be built
connecting production with the refinery and with large
tank storage space as provided. Refining, in itself, is
a tremendously profitable business and it is reasonable
to expect that the first twelve months' operation shoujd
show net profits in excess of our entire proposed out
standing capital stock.
Conclusion
The Pullman Oil & Refining Company is a re
sponsible organization operating on a basis that assures
extraordinary profits. We are a going concern,- firmly
established and destined to become one of the larger
Texas companies engaged in the Production, Refining
and Distribution of crude oil and its by-products. It is
not a catch penny company, but has real substance and
is managed by men of integrity and ability. The present
stock allotment is limited and in all probability will be
the last. Our first well is all but finished and quick
action on your part is nqw a necessity. Present offer
ing at par value of $1.00 per share ; subject to advance,
or balance of issue may be withdrawn without notice.
CIRCULAR ON REQUEST.
Capitalization $2,500,000. Par Value $1.00, fully
paid, non-assessable.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. . Mul
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out eas
ily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage. ,
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months. Adv.
from Mrs. Blakeley in her apart
ment. He asserted he paid the
woman $7.50 for it.
Officers Get Tip.
Detective Jensen, who. with De
tectives Cunningham and Janda, ar
rested Mrs. Blakeley, declared he
was instructed to report to the office
of the department of justice in the
federal building and there met a
man named W. A. Wilson, who told
him a friend of his had gone to the
South Twenty-fourth street address
to buy some whisky.
Wilson was standing on the out
side of the building with the officers
when Kruger emerged from the
apartment. The woman was ar
rested upon the assertion ot Kruger
that he purchased the whisky from
her.
Case Conjtinued.
Kruger and Wilson are said to be
friends of Mr. Blakeley. Attorney
T. E. Brady declared Wilson was
doing some detective work for
Blakeley.
The case was continued until
8:30 this morning, when Mrs.
Blakeley will introduce witnesses,
her attorney asserted, to show that
she is the victim of .a conspiracy.
Mrs. Blakeley has been living at
the Altona apartments as Mrs. R.
M. McLean, her maiden name being
McLean.
Promise Sensation.
The police angle of the case, how
ever, is only a small part of the
real story which, it is declared, will
be brought out when the petition of
Mrs. Blakeley for additional ali
mony comes up for a hearing, prob
ably in the district court the latter
part of this month.
Attorneys for Mr. Blakeley will
not only attack the reputation of
Mrs. Blakeley on the ground of her
arrest for the alleged possession and
sale of intoxicating liquor. Her
name, it was learned from an au
thorative source yesterday, will be
connected with that of a prominent
Nebraska lawyer and former legis
lator. "We are not yet ready to give out
this feature of the case," declared
one of the attorneys for Mr. Blake
ley yesterday. "But you can bet
on this much when it does break
it will be a sensation that will inter
est all of Nebraska and Iowa."
Asked if he had anything to say
in answer to the "frame-up" charges
made by Mrs. Blakeley in connec
tion with her arrest Tuesday night,
he said he did not at this time.
Divorce and Alimony.
It was only a little over a year ago
that Mr. Blakeley obtained a di
vorce from Mr. Blakeley. Shortly
afterward he married a Miss Nellie
King of Florida, Mrs. Blakeley mak
ing the charge at the time that he
had fallen desperately in love with
the pretty southern girl while still
married.
In the granting of the divorce the
court awarded Mrs. Blakeley a lump
sum of $8,000 alimony. She now
has a suit pending for additional ali
mony of $7,000.
Charges Frame-Up.
According to the story of Mrs.
Blakely, George Rothe, commission
man, St. Joseph, Mo., former de
tective and captain of police at
Lincoln, Neb.; W. A. Wilson, law
yer, University Place, Lincoln,
Neb., alleged' attorney for Charles
Blakely, and Adam Kruger, wrest
ler and prize fighter, Lincoln, Neb.,
secured the co-operation of . the po
lice in bringing about the raid and
the arrest of Mrs. Blakely. The
three men represented themselves
as being connected with the United
States revenue department, accord
ing to the police.
Tuesday afternoon Rothe is said
to have gone to Mrs. Blakely's
apartment and told her he had a
letter of introduction from a mutual
friend in St. Joseph, according to
Mrs. Blakeley's statement Tuesday.
He also said he had $900 which he
wanted to spend on some woman in
a couple of days. Following these
remarks Mrs. Blakely said he asked
her to permit him to leave a pint
ot whisky in her rooms and he
would call for it later in the after
noon. "I told him he could leave the
whiskv in my room," declared Mrs.
Blakely. "He took the bottle out of
his pocket and set it on the table
and left."
Following the deposit of the
liquor, W. A. Wilson, one of the trio,
went to United States Revenue Of
ficer Larry Flynn and told him he
had found out where a person was
selling liquor and asked for assist
ance in raiding the place. Flynn
said he was .not in a position to
give the assistance and is said to
have called the police department
and asked for a sufficient number
of officers to go to the Blakely
rooms and make the raid.
Took Whisky With Him.
Rothe, Wilson and Kruger are re
ported to have left immediately and
went to Mrs. Blakeley s rooms.
When the morals squad arrived the
three men left the apartment and
went to the street where they were
arrested by the officers. Kruger
was found to have the pint of
whisky in his pocket which was said
to have been left in care of Mrs.
Blakely by Rothe.
They were taken to jail and a
warrant was issued for the arrest of
Mrs. Blakely, the officers refusing
to arrest her without a warrant.
Mrs. Blakely was taken to the sta
tion.
When the four persons were
taken to the police station Captain
of Police Haze said he "could not
tell heads from tails," and booked
all of them. They were afterwards
released on bonds.
"I could not understand the case
at the time, so I thought the safest
thing to do was to arrest them all,"
declared Captain Haze. "I am posi
tive that this is a case of a frame-
up' pure and simple on Mrs. Blakely.
1 teel sure that tney are working
for Charles Blakely and that they
secured the services of the revenue
and police departments without their
knowing the lull status ot the case.
If it were to do over 1 would not
take cognizance of it.'
Asks More Alimony.
Larry Flynn, revenue officer, said
W. A. Wilson was in his office and
wanted to secure the arrest of Mrs.
Blakely, saying she was selling liq
uor. Flynn said Wilson had been
connected with the revenue depart
ment years ago, but was not at this
time, neither were his companions.
"I am bringing suit against my
former husband for $7,000 and he is
trying to show that I have a rotten
character so he will not hav? to pay
the sum," said Mrs. Blakeley. "He is
worth at least $300,000 ami wants to
rob me of my just alimony." j
Mrs. Blakely secured a divorce
from her husband on June IS, 1917, 1
and was given alimony of $8,000. She
says that sum was not just and is
now bringing suit for $7,000 addi
tional alimony.
Doctor Robbed by Sailor j
Whom He Had Befriended
Dr. Boron, with offices in the Pax-
ton block, reported to police yester
day that a discharged sailor he be
friended Tuesday night robbed him
of $20. The doctor said he took the
sailor home, but that yesterday
the ex-sea fighter and the $20 had
disappeared.

ILLINOIS WOMAN
WAS ON VERGE
OF GIVING UP
Mrs. Buley Had Suffered
Twenty Years Is Perfectly
Well, Now.
"When my friends ask me what
caused my wonderful improvement,
I just say 'Tanlac,' and they seem
to understand," said Mrs. Burl
Buley, residing at 521 Baxter Court,
Canton, Illinois, while talking to a
Tanlac representative the other day.
"For the past twenty years," con
tinued Mrs. Buley, "I have suffered
from acute indigestion, and when
these spells came on me the pain
and misery I underwent is simply
, more than anybody will ever know.
My stomach was in such bad con
dition that the least thing I ate
would cause me to suffer terribly
afterwards. I finally got to where
even a little milk and toast would
cause me to have bad cramping
spells, and tras would form so bad
that I could hardly get a good
breath. This condition kept up until
1 1 was so weak and run down that
I was not able to attend to my
housework. I also suffered a great
deal from headaches, and sometimes
I would have such bad spells of it
that it just seemed that my head
I was going to burst. I was so nerv
ous an tne time mat tne least thing
would upset me, and I never knew
what a good night's sleep was. Noth
ing I took in ahe way of medicine
and treatment seemed to do me any
good at all, and I had just about
given up all hope of ever being well
again.
"Well, the papers were having a
great deal to say about Tanlac, and
so many people were being bene
fited by using it, so I got my hus
band to get a bottle of it for me.
The day that I commenced taking
Tanlac certainly marks the turning
point for me, for I began to im
prove before I had finished my first
bottle of this wonderful medicine.
Why, in little or no time I could
eat just anything I wanted without
suffering afterwards, and I just
continued ' to improve until- my
twenty years of suffering is com
pletely at an end. I eat things now
that I haven't dared touch for years,
rhose awful headaches have left me,
too, and I never have a sign of
acute indigestion. In fact, I am
perfectly well in every way, and
when night comes now, I sleep like
a baby for eight or nine hours. I
tell everybody I meet about Tanlac,
for I know it is solely responsible
for the good health I now enjoy."
