Howe in a breach of promise suit,
Hatleck F. Kose, Omaha attorney,
participating in the suit.
Lump judgment of $22,000 was
handed down by the jury, based on
the length of time Jennie and Lou
were betrothed-, to each other.
No other breach of promise suit
in Richardson county has involved
such a large sum forjudgment. The
trial, which lasted for a week, at
tracted considerable attention be
cause of the prominence of the prin
cipals and the elements of the case.

timony, was 18 years old in 1896

Healed Pimples
"Ihd pimple and itching enough
to set one crazy. My face, neca.

with pimples and they
later became an entire scale
so that I looked horrible.
I was ashamed of myself.
Many nights I did not

Rochester, Howe corresponded Teg
ularly, and on her return journey
she telephoned the time of her ar
rival, expecting Howe would meet
her at the train. ,
f The failure of Howe to meet his
betrothed at the train or to call at
her home to greet her, resulted in
a visit of Miss Fellers to the Howe
farm near Humboldt. She testified
that Howe told her that his mother
and brother had advised him that
she was not the girl to be his wife
and that he had concluded to break
their engagement.
Aged Mother Testifies.
She returned to her home in tears.
For many days and nights she wa$
inconsolable and kept a light in her
window for many nights after
Howe's repudiation of their engage-.
ment. Eight ' months later she
brought an action for $50,000.
Howe's defense was his obligation
to his aged mother, 89 years old,
who appeared as a witness. He also
asserted that he broke the engage
ment because she was irritable ton
ward him when she was ill before
the operation. She testified that on
the night before she went to
Rochester, Howe-remained at her
home until 1 a. ni., and told her he
would never give her up as long as
she "had the breath of life."
Miss Fellers is a daughter of Au.
gust Fellers,; m the furniture and
undertaking .business at Humboldt.
Since the damage', suit 'was started
Howe sold his farm near Humboldt
and moved to Lincoln. '

VACCINATION FOR
EVERY PUPIL IN
STATE ADVOCATED
OIL PIPE LINE
TO OMAHA URGED
BY WYOMING MAN
Arthur L Wakeley, Newcastle
Cattle and Oil Barorv Tells
Of Opportunity for
Expansion.
"Omaha is certainly a wonderful
city from a business standpoint,"
said Arthur L. .Wakeley, a cattle man
of Wyoming, who was a visitor at
the stock yards Tuesday and who
has considerable oil interests in
Wyoming.
"That Omaha should be connected
wi,th the great oil fields of Wyoming
by a series of pipe lines is a fore
gone conclusion," said Mr. Wakeley.
"It would give the people of Omaha
and surrounding territory an oppor
tunity to get oil for less than half
it is costing them now and would
open the way for the establishment
of several large refineries.
"Millions of gallons of 'liquid
gold' can be piped to Omaha with
a small fraction of the money that
is being paid now for transportation
and the people of the oil fields of
Wyoming are willing to assist the
people of Omaha in any way possi
ble in establishing a series of pipe
lines, not only to Omaha, but to
every large point in Nebraska.
"New oil- discoveries are ' being
made daily in Wyoming and in "my
section, in the neighborhood of New
castle, the gateway to the Osage oil
fields, 15 miles from Newcastle, sev
eral large flows of oil have been dis
covered in the past six months and
the people of that section are in
hearty accord with the idea of build
ing pipe lines into Omaha. I
"With ( a few public-spirited citi
zens to start the project going in
Omaha the idea of piping oil into the
city could be brought to a most suc
cessful conclusion and among other
things, Omaha should have" without
delay a system of oil pipe lines'.
There are plenty of men of my disj
trict who will help finance the deal
and I hope to see a start made in
that direction very soon."

Increasing Number xi Smallpox
Cases in Omaha Brings
1 Warning.1
v? - . i,
, .' .
, Increasing numbers of smallpox
rases in Omaha brought foain
"Health Commissioner J. F. Edwards
yesterday a, strong declaration for a
state law for compulsory universal
vaccination of school children.
Under present Nebraska laws
health officials are : authorized to
vaccinate only school children who
have been exposed to the disease.
-"Smillpox always will be more or
tes" . prevalent until we have uni
versal vaccination in the srchools,"
Commissioner Edwards asserted.
"Adoption of . that measure, in sev
eral states has proved effectual in
stamping out the disease. Many
parents object to vaccination and
under present laws their objections
prevent the measures that should
be taken."
The present smallpox situation is
not alarming but need not exist
under laws ordering universal va
cination, Dr. Edwards said. Health
office records showed 85 smallpox
cases yesterday. A.ll f ne cases
have, been mild so-ifar.
Commissioner Edwards issued a
warning in connection with failure
of parents to report cases of "measles
and scarlet fever. Many parents do
not seem to be informed they are
required to report these contagious
diseases, even though a physician
is not called, he said. If necessary
to prevent continued laxity, he will
enforce the maximum penalties of
$100 fixed under state laws, he said.
Heavy Snow atBloomf ield
Halts Farming Operations
"Bloomfield, Neb., April 13. (Spe
cial..) farming operations in, this
vicinity have been brought to a com
plete standstill 'by the heavy snow
fall of Saturday night. The ground
is covered to a depth of from eight
to 10 inches, but the snow was very
heavy and -did not drift. Owing to
the large amount of moisture in the
snow, it is feared that flood con
ditions are sure, to result should
the weather turn moderately warm.
The work of straightening the creek
through Bloomfield is again under
way- and about two-thirds of the
ditch has been completed. T.his will
aid materially in getting 'rja of Hie
surplus moisture, bat it is, doubtful
if it will be' sufficient to prevent
flooding the lower portions of the
city. :

Cocoanut Oil Fine
; i 7 for Washing Hair
. ' If yoo want to keep your hair in
pood 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 brit
tle and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is fmuch
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing,' as this can't
lossibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub" it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
sughly. The lather rinses out eas
ily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
