Frederick, wounded, fled back to his cell, according to Super intendent Scoulter and was found there a short time later.

Before the performance of the bathing girls he told of the surf con ditions at Los Angeles and that the reason women wore one-piece swim ming suits was to combat the un dertow. "The one-piece bathing suit is as common on California beaches as women's suits are in Omaha," said Mr. Newell. "The possibility of vulgarity rests in the rmnds of the audience. following the performance the audience was requested to express its opinion on the dangers to the morals of Omaha by continuing the performance. Not a dissenting voice in the audience that occupied every seat, was heard. A 10-second demonstration on the part of those in favor of the performance threat ened to literally tear off the roof, I he bathing arirls disolav bathing suits popular on California beaches and several numbers of classical Greek and Egyptian dances. The head of the welfare board objected to the limbs of the dancers being nude. Manager Toy Sutohen announces that he will employ attorneys if necessary to continue the perform ance.

Attorney Thomas sat within whispering distance of De tective Paul Sutton while the latter testified at the coroners inauest But Mr. Thomas failed to wield any influence. The county attorney conducted the hearing himseK and tne next dav announced that he he lieyed Armstrong and Brigham were guilty. In spite of the action taken by tne county attorney, and notwith standing repeated demands made on Commissioner Ringer to suspend the policemen, the police commis sioner and the chief of police did nothing in the matter until they were forced to by a delegation of colored citizens representing 8,000 of their race, members of the Omaha branch of their protective association.

Pauline Randall, the mys- . terious Pauline in the trial at Paris growing out of the betrayal of Edith Cavell, was located Saturday at Clacton-on-the-Sea, where she is vacationing. Miss Randall was Edith Cavell' maid, and her name has been fre quently mentioned at the trial of Quien. but up to Saturday the search for her had been futile. She is a quiet, retiring girl of 20, and pretty. She was 13 yeara old when she went to Brussels two years before the war, her father being the owner of a small circus. Pauline ran away from him and joined Edith Cavell, who adopted her into her organization. "One day," said Miss Randall. "Sister Wiikins, one of Miss Cavell's nurses, was called to the kom mandatur (German military head quarters). Later she told Miss Cavell that two men she had seen there tallied with the description I had given her of two men 1 had met, and that they pretended to know all about Miss Cavell's activities. This was not true. "The following day six German policemen went through Miss Cavell's papers. The day after they rame again and locked up all the nurses and maids, including myself, in one room. They then arrested Miss Cavell and released us. "If I can help trace those who be trayed Miss Cavell I shall be happy, but I have not been asked so far."

Do you suffer daily backache, dizzi ness, and sick headache? You i shouldn't! Too many folks drag along day in and day out, thus handi capped. And too often they over lpok the kidneys which are likely at fault. Weak kidneys cause many queer aches, pains and kidney irregularities. But, if taken in time, kidney ills are usually easily corrected. Neglected, even a slight kidney weakness may turn into gravel, dropsy or Bright's disease. Don't wait! You owe it to yourself to get well and to stay well. Use Doan's Kidney Pills! Doan's have brought thousands of weak, tired, discouraged people back to health. t Omaha folks tell the story.

My back was lame and painful and there was a hazy ap pearance before my eyes. My kidneys acted too freely, too. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and bought a box at the Adams-Haight Drug Co. Through the use of Doan's all the trouble was driven away and I have never been bothered since."

I had pains in the back of my head and was so nervous I couldn't sleep. My kidneys were ir regular in action. I used different remedies for more than three years, hut could get no help un til I used Doan's Kidney Pills. In a few weeks I felt like a different person.
