MANY SEE An A|RSH|R,
Several Hundred Residents o
Nebraska Will Swear They
Are Not Mistaken.
In Iowa the Winged Visitant of the
Night Is Also Observed
by Crowis.

OMAHA, NEBR., April 9.-Several hun
dred persons are ready to swear that an
airship Of gigantic proportions has been
lowering over this city at night for some
time. Six months ago it was heard of in
the interior of the State and since then
has been seen in other parts of Nebraska.
During the last two weeks II has been seen
almost nightly in this city. Invariably
the descriptions have been the same.
More persons have seen the great head
light of the machine than the outlines Of
the vessel, although great many say
they have seen the full outlines of the
ship itself.
The general verdict is that the ship has
long steel body, shaped like cigar,
about forty feet long. six to ten feet in
diameter, winglike attachments on the
sides, while fore and aft appear wheeilike
devices similar to the stearing apparatus
of steamships. TIE top is capped with
balloon-like bag, oblong and seemingly
attached to the vessel by ropes. The
headlight is similar to that OF q locomo-
tive.
The first instance in which the ship has
been seen on the ground was reported
from Wolf Greek Township. Iowa, just
across the river. Richard Butler, very
well-to-do farmer, says he saw the ship
while driving home Wednesday night.
He describes 1t as long, narrow car re-
sembling a corset box thirty feet In length,
six or seven in width and the same in
height. Over the car hoated a cigar
shaped bag horizontally placed OF about
the same length. Whether there were
sailing or steering apparatus Butler can
not say, for the horses caught sight of the
vessel, bolted for the opposite side of the
road and tumbled the wagon and driver
into ditch. By the time Butler crawled
from the wreck the machine was moving
briskly in a southerly direction. Several
hundred Omaha people also saw the ship
Wednesday.
BURLINGTON, Iowa, April 9.-An air
ship was seen last night by MANY along
the line OF the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
and Northern Railroad, and it was the
chief topic of conversation to-day. Many
described the machine as having head
light like that of locomotive. They
were able to see winglike projections on
each side. The airship appeared about
1880, according to all reports, travelled
northwest, and finally disappeared across
the Minnesota State line. Some say they
heard Kissing noise as the craft glided
through the air, but only when the craft
was in swift motion, however. The craft
was supposed 10 be 1000 feet about the
earth. 1t is seen only after dark. and 1t Is
Impossible to distinguish it but for the
light which often is not turned on until
the ehip Is directly over city.

PERRY, OKLA, April 9.-Mrs. Pauline
Herard, wife OF j. Virgil Herard, a cattle
King OF the West, has filed suit here to set
aside the divorce decree granted her hus-
band six months ago. She alleges fraud

hat Tired

An exceedingly common and danger n
ously significant condition.
A warning which must be needed, or,
as with the express train which
fails to regard the danger signal,
disaster must follow.
A sure indication of thin. weak, impover-
ished blood. A certain admonition
that the blood is not properly feeding
the nerves, tissues and organs of the

An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and women
are found everywhere. Men strive
too hard to "keep their ends up"
women too anxiousIy work son their

and the excessive drain on strength
and nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also find
in pure blood the proper nerve food.
For this purpose nothing equals
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it has
accomplished, the like of which no
other medicine and no combination of
medicines can show, prove its cura-
tive merit; prove that it has never
been equaled as a blood medicine ;
prove that Hoods Sarsaparila is in.

best nerve and stomach tonic, the one

THIS is SOUND SENSE.

People have way OF gauging both
the imE ortance and the prosperity of
a concern by its advertising. It's not
a bad way, either. If u merchant ad-
vertlses in Il bowling dervish style,
it's pretty safe 30 set him down as an
eXtravagaDt blowhard who cannot be
relied upon. II a merchant advertises
in careless, hsphazard, devil-may-
care way, we may pretty safely con-
cIude that his goods are in harmony
with the ads. And if mercha, who
once advertised largely begins to
crowd and contract his space, and
often fails to appear in the newspapers
at all, the tendency is to size him up
as man who is going down hill.
Often this idea is wrong, but right or
wrong, IT'S mighty unfortunate light
for merchant to stand in.-Brains.
