sort of lovliness that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless hps-these are
repellant And they can nearly always
be traced to the one CONSEQUENTLY
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured if you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seems
to involve these delicate organs and so no
matter what the symptoms may be it IS
best to look there for the real trouble.
All such disorders are completely and
permanently cured by DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t is designed for
Just this one thing and is the only prep
aration of the sort produced by a regu-
larry graduated physician "a skilled
specialist in the diseases of women.
Miss Maud Kenyon, of 1888 Orange St, Los
Angeles Cal writes: II had been afflicted with
my eyes for over a year with such dreadful
Itching and inflammation that could not use
them for anything. Physicians had given me
MANY different remedies which were like using

Has it ever occurred to you to reckon
how far your eyes travel in reading:
The distance will not startle you, per
haps, for 1000 letters in ordinary
type would measure hardly more than
mile placed side by side. In life
time, however, the average reader
wends his way through 1900 miles of
print. The average novel of 800 pages
contains one mile of reading-that is,
the eye travels 1869 yards in reading
the book through. philadelphia In

There is to-day less Of this foul dis.

point, it is with regret 1 learn of the
promulgation OF acts by the govern

PEACEMAKER is APPRECIATED
job Printers Present Thomas y.
Sturgcss of The bee with Token
of Their Gratitude.

The work Of a peacemaker was for once
valued at its true worth Saturday night
when a committee Of job printers of Typo
graphical union. No. 1870. returned a sub
s%tantial expression of their thanks to
Thomas L. Sturgess, 2O1O North Twenty
second street. MIR. Sturgess, who is night
telegraph editor of The Bee and also a mem
Der Of the local typographical union, was
instrumental to a large extent In the salts
factory settlement of the recent trouble be-
tween the printers and the proprietors Of
job offices.
The committee, consisting Of Richard
Rawlins, Louis Kolb and William Longen-
hagen, called at MIR. Sturgess' residence
and, taking him completely off his guard,
presented him with a handsome silver serv-
ice, in which gift all the local Job printers
had a part.
The spokesman explained that the present
was in recognition of friendly offices on the
part OF Mr.. S~turgess extending over ten
years and eliminating in the recent diff
Guilty.
One year ago when the job printers scale
was signed Mr.. Sturgess was a member Of
the printers committee and performed valu-
able service in e~ifecting a favorable settle
ment. This year he was not appointed as
mediator and was only called in when the
situation had grown critical. Although JOB
work was in a measure outside of his line,
Mr.. StuTgos3 used such tact and sound judy
ment that the printers came out of the
fight with practically everything they had
cCntended for. They were greatly pleased
with their success and felt themselves un-
der obligations to Mr.. Sturgess accordingly.

RECRUITING SCR B0ER WAR
Colonel John &. Mnher of IL
Snid to nc Organizing
II

Apropos of the local activity among Irish
Americans in aid Of the Beers in South
Africa a story floats down from Chadron, in
the far northwest corner Of the state, to the
effect that Colonel John G. Maher, who dis
tinguished himself during the Cuban cam
paign by his prompt refusal to permit the
use of his typewriting machine by one who
had been commanded to use ii by General
Fred Grant, is enlisting a company of his
Irish compatriots to go to the Transvaal.
A man from Lincoln who was in Omaha
yesterday is authority for the assertion that
it is known there that Maher has his COM
pany actually organized. Maher is an ad-
venturous young Irish-American who
proudly boasts family relationship to the
gallant Thomas Francis Meagher, the
change in the spelling of the name being at
tributed to the inevitable mutations of time
in affairs of lineage in countries where in
trigue Is popular. He has devoted con
siderable study to the career Of that dis
tinguished Irish patriot, who, after having
been sentenced to death in Ireland and after
having had his sentence committed to i'm
prisonmeut for life, escaped from Tasmania
and came to America, where in 1856 he be-
came editor of the Irish News. In 1851 he
entered the union army as a captain and
subsequently became a major OF the Sixty
ninth New York volunteers. In 1862 h.

John Maher is inclined to court danger
that is apt to bring him no certain physical
discomtorts, but rather an enyiabla
nctoriety. The fact that a certain Monsieur
Pierot has just been arrested in Cincinnati
for recruiting troops for the Boer war, on
the ground that 1t is in violation Of the laws
Of neutrality, would not be likely to deter
Maher from carrying forward any project
he may have conceived OF that character,
but would rather accelerate his movements
in that direction. 1t is believed that Maher
would enjoy a little federal interference that
would bring him into celebrity, which he
has long been endeavoring more or less in
effectually to achieve through fusion poll
