Bearing about SO pounds oxcfss
;vuil from eastern points, Pilot Wil
'.ism E. DeWald 'of the air mail
.service, landed his plane on the rov
irnment field in Omaha Thursday
at 8 40 p. m.
This marks the first time sinr-e the
inauguration of the Omaha-Chicago
division of the air mail service that
a pilo h;is flown after daylight in
order to deliver his cargo of nail as
near the srheduled time as possible.
Pilot DeWald. left ChicaKo a;
II 10 a. in. .Thursday, but stopped at
Iowa City to adjust his motor. He
was detained at the Iowa way sta
tion until 6:15 p. m.

s tilted in his flying into Omaha at
dusk.
Pilot DeWald's plane carried 400
pounds of mail, the heaviest load

Judges Abandon Plan
To Curtail Divorces
In Vacation Months
District Judge Sears yesterday an
nounced that the "divorce mill" will
not be shut down for the summer, as
had been decided by the district
judges a few days ago.
He declined to say whether this
decision was baed on the theory
that closing up on divorces for six'
weeks might be unconstitutional
viewed as "cruel and unusual pun
ishment" upon unhappy, couples.
"I just decided that it would pile
up the work,-too much by fall. We'd
have to run day- and. night-in- Sep
tember if we closed down on them
now. So I'm going right ahead with
the regular divorce grist at the mill
all summer."
Divorced Wife Must Give Up
Home and Insurance Policy
Gustav Knosp was granted a di
vorce from Mary M. Knosp by

day on ground of cruelty.
Mrs. Knosp is ordered to surren
der property of his including their
home. 904 Souts, Forty-fifth street
and his insurance policy. To her
the decree gives their piano and
$500 alimony.

J. W. Hastings,, receiving teller at

she made the deposit denies two en
tries in the chemical company's de
posit book were made by him.
"Someone outside the bonk did
that writing." "he said today.
Miss Napier says he made the en
tries with a fountain pen in ex

tries do not correspond in character
to entries made for other deposits.
The American State bank says if
has no record of the deposits or the
checks. 5
Miss Napier seeks to have an in

Engineer Coffman Says Ho
Was a Victim of Both Rheu
matism and Indigestion
Before He Began Tak
ing Tanlac.
Still another well-known railroad
man testified to the remarknble mer
its of Tanlac. G. F. Coffman, of
Columbus, Neb., popular engineer
on the Chicago, Burlington ct
Quincy railroad, between Columbus
and Lincoln, Neb., while in Lincoln
the other day said:
"Before taking Tanlac I was in
such a terrible rundown condition
that I was simply miserable. I suf
fered dreadfully from indigestion,
and had such awful cramps in my
stomach that it almost doubled me
up. No matter how little I ate, it
caused me to suffer from gas and
severe pains in my stomach. I was
t'red nearly all the time and had no
energy, and I got such little sleep
that in the mornings I felt as worn
out as when I went to bed the night
before. My left shoulder ached
awfully, and was so stiff that I could
hardly work my throttle.
"One of my friends in Lincoln
told me now Tanlac had fixed him
up in fine shape, so I started taking
it myself. My appetite began to
pick up from the very first and now
has come back good and strong. I
have taken three bottles of the medi
cine, and no longer have a sign of
I indigestion, and am feeling fine. My
arm and shoulder are improving
rapidly, and my sleep is sound and
-refreshing. My wife was troubled
with rheumatism also and it only
took three bottles of Tanlac to re
lieve her entirely. We both think
there is no medicine equal to Tanlac
and give it our highest endorse
ment." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all
Sherman & McConnel! Drug Com
pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy
and West End Pharmacy. Also
"Forrest and Meany Drug Company
in South "Omaha and Benson Pharm
acy, Benson, and the leading drug
