How to Dress FashionabIy.

Every woman wishes to be well dressed.
Her age is no bar to this desire, Her
form does not prohibit this commendable
ambition. AS an aid to the consumma-
ton OF this wish, the fashion plates and
stories in the Boston Sunday Herald
have neither peer in style nor an equal
in practicability. The active principle
upon which these unique fashions are de-
signed is becomingness. They range from
the suit or gown suited to the slight
coming out" girl to the matron, whose
embonpoint tells the story of advancing
years. They are designed to adorn living
figures, not the inc inmate models of the
French fashion plate. In them you see
living, moving people who are habited in
the latest wrinkles OF Dame FASHIONS
decree. We are told that so simple are
these gowns, that any experienced dress
lmaker can construct them, maintaining
all the details of the original designs.
The series now appearing in the Boston
Sunday Herald is ahead of all the fash
ion papers, and will give readers an op-
portunity of making up their spring and
summer dresses and underwear before
the seasons rush which follows the APP
pearance of the spring fashions in the
shops. You can see these fashion pic
lures only in The Boston Sunday Herald.

SUITS BROUGHT BY INDIANS
Omahas AIIege that Conditions of
Treaty Have Never Been COM
piled With.

Suits have been filed in United States
court by a number of descendants of the
Omaha tribe of Indians to secure the pos
session Of lands in Thurston county, Ne
braska. which they claim under the treaty
of March, 1854 and subsequent acts of con-
gress. This was the treaty by which a
large tract of land south of the reservation
was ceded to the government on condition
that the Indians should be paid $4,000 a
year for the first three years, $50 600 per
year during the ten years succeeding, SEQ
600 a year during the next fifteen years
and subsequently 10000 a year for twelve
years.
By acts OF congress certain allotments
We're made 10 each member of the tribe
and the complainants assert that the fam
lilies selected various quarter sections of
land under this legislation. But they de-
clare that they have never been permitted
to take possession. They contend that while
they are Of mixed blood they are the legal
heirs OF the Indians who took up the land
and consequently ask the court TO COM
pei the government TO recognize their
rights.

There was a well attended meeting OF
representative citizens at the council cham
ber last night for the purpose OF taking
some action toward forming a permanent
Commercial club James H. Bulla occupied
the chair and the first business was the
report OF the committee sent to Lincoln TO
work against the Crow annexation bill +.
A. Cressey and c. a. Melcher told what they
had done in this repsect and it is the hope
OF the committee that the bill will be
amended so as to conform TO the wishes of
the citizens here.
When it came to the question Of perma-
nent organization the ghost OF the old Board
Of Trade arose and for a time caused some
little discussion. Some of those present
thought that as the Board Of Trade was now
in possession Of a charter 1t might be ad-
visable to revive it and thus save the fees
incidental to the Incorporation OF a new
organization. No decision was reached in
this matter, but committees we're appointed
TO take charge of the organization and re-
port at the next meeting. A committee on
organization, composed OF p. J. Barrett. c..
A. Melcher, A. H. Murdock, +. ]. Seykora
and J. J. Breen, was appointed. 1t Is un-
derstood that this committee will confer
with members of the old Board OF Trade
and also with those in favor of a CONNER
cial club and ascertain the wishes Of the
majority. W. s. King, A r. Kelly. John F.
Roberts, John Flynn, F. A. Cressey and
Timothy Munger were appointed a COM
mittee to solicit members to the new or
ganization. 1t was stated that the packers
and other corporations here would like to
see such an organization as the one proposed
and would be willing to contribute to its
support. providing a permanent secretary
were chosen and suitable rooms secured.
Another committee. composed of A. R.
Kelly r. B. Montgomery and George
Brewer was appointed to draft resolutions
stating the position of the club on the an
nexation question. A copy of these resolu-
tions is to be sent to each member of the
Legislature The committee will present
its resolutions at the meeting next Tues
day evening.
a vote of thanks was rendered to SEN
ator Van Dusen for the manner in which
he had received and entertained the COM
mttee sent to Lincoln Monday.

Permanent CRY Jauer.

Mayor Ensor's scheme of having a per-
manent jailer at the city Jail both days and
nights will go into effect today. John Gal
lagher has been appointed one OF the jailers
and Edward Burson the other. These men
will not be expected to perform any patrol
duty, but will remain at police headquarters
during their hours on watch. They will be
held strictly accountable for the safety of
prisoners and all valuables. In this way
it is expected that escapes from the Jail will
be prevented and stop put 10 the haggllng
over the contents of prisoners packages
These jailers will be required to give bonds
in the sum of $500 or $4,000 and will take
receipts from each other when turning over
property. Another innovation Will be the
signing of all property packages by the ar
resting officer. After this when an officer
brings in a prisoner he will remain at the
Jail until the prisoner is searched and then
he will certify to the count of the money and
yaluables placed on the package by the
jailer. In this way it is thought that all
disputes over the contents OF packages will
be done away with. Officer Gallagher is n
new appointee on the force. He is brother
OF Deputy Treasurer A. NJ. Gallagher and a
young man OF good habits. Officer Burson,
the other jailer has made good policeman
during his term of service and has shown in
more than one instance that he is strictly
honest. With two good men as jalers it
is thought that a stop will be put to escapes
and the business of the Jail handled in a
much more satisfactory manner than 1t has
been in the past.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-03-01

SuperntendentCorwin OF the Union Stock
Yards Railroad company has inaugurated
something new in the firing of locomotives.
The scheme is not particularly new in the
east, but it has never been tried in this sec
tion of the country so far as is known. A
few days ago Superintendent Corwin called
his thirty engineers and fremen to his Of
fee where he gave them little talk on the
correct method of firing an engine. He
showed the men the difference in results be-
tween the right way and the usual method of
keeping up steam and at the conclusion of
his remarks he presented to each man a
copy Of Angus Sinclair's book on Burning
Soft Coal Without Smoke
Mr.. Corwin estimates that each fireman in
his employ wastes at least 200 pounds of coal
per day and this in the course of month
amounts to six tons. Aside from the addi
tional cost to the company the men thus
shovel great deal more coal than is neces
sary and this, of course, means additional
work. The system of firing proposed will
prevent clinkers and will keep a good head
Of steam up at all times. AS general
thing locomotive fremen throw a shovelful
of coal into each corner of the fire box and
one two in the center. This cools the
fire and for the time prevents the raising
of the steam. The following leaf from MI
Sinclairs book explains the matter in detail:
There is an impression among many en-
ginemen that the heat inside of a firebox
is so high that il is always equal to the
igniting of anything in the way of fuel
thrown in. This is popular mistake The
keeping up of the igniting temperature de-
pends very much on the quantity of cooling
material thrown into 1t. If you have boil
l..
a dipperful of water without much check
ing the boiling. But il you put in two or
three dipperfuls then boiling will cease, and
you must wait until the action of the fire
asserts itself on the cooled mass. If you
scatter one or two shovelfus of coal over
the surface OF an incandescent fire, the gases
in the coal will be instantly distilled and the
firebox will receive no chilling, but if you
throw in five or six shovelfuls of fresh coal
it will cool the whole mass and part Of the
frebox will descend below the ignitng tenn
perature, and the gases. being liberated.
will pass away without doing any good.
These facts will indicate how 1t is that firing
steadily in small quantities will produce
more heat from the coal than will result
when it is put in on the system of heavy
firing"
Superintendent Corwin hopes TO bring all
the fremen and engineers IN his employ to
his way of thinking and the new plan of
light firing on the engines is now being tried.

The way to be we'll is to pay attention to
your kidneys.
They are the most important organs Of
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not question Of
taking laxative or physc.
Does your blood run through your bow
els?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but
the poisons which are already in your
blood, causing your present sickness, it
leaves there.
There is no other way OF purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why the bowel cleaners fail TO do
their work-they forget the kidneys
When you are sick, then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease is the
first thing you should do is to afford aid to
your kidneys by using DR., Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural
help to nature, for Swamp Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys
that is known to medical science.
DR.. Kilmer, the eminent physician and
specialist, has attained far-famed reputa-
tion through the discovery and marvellous
success of Swamp Root in purifying the
