The Burton Holmes Lectures.

"St. Petersburg" is the subject Of the
first lecture to be given by Mr.. Burton
Holmes. This lecture was received with
particular favor in the east during the last
winter, as 1t gives a much more intimate
insight into the daily life of Russians of
all classes than any traveller heretofore has
been able to obtain. The lecture will be
magnihcently illustrated with beautiful col
ored still pictures flor which Mr.. Holmes
has obtained a most envlable reputation) and
also a large number OF motion pictures,
among which the most noticeable is that
taken of the car and the royal family.
Among the other motion pictures to be
shown will be an exhibition fire drill of n
Russian fire department. In marked con-
trast to this old-fashioned organization,
Mr.. Holmes has shown during the last
winter a motion picture Of the Omaha fire
department, which he took In this city
some years ago. This will naturally
heighten the local interest in this lecture.
Among other motion pictures to be shown
will be several magnificent views Of the
Shoots Of Imatra, A Savage whirlpool, The
Fish Market OF Helsingfors, numerous
street scenes on the Palace quai and in
the Nevski prospect, besides a large num-
Der Of unusually dashing motion pictures
Of Russian troops during the imperial re-
view, which took place while Mr.. Holmes
was in st. Petersburg.

A Palace of Light.

The Cudahy Packing company does not
believe in hiding it's light under a bushel.
At least that is the opinion OF the thousands
OF men and women who have had an oppor-
tunity of examining the new Diamond &c"
Premium Store, 304 South 18th ST.
An exceptionally attractive location by
day, the new store takes on added beauty
when darkness falls. Then II is nothing
less han a little palace OF light-brilliant,
beautiful and effective beyond belief.
Unusual ingenuity has been displayed in
the arrangement OF the electric signs, as a
result Of which the new store not only
catches, but holds the eyes Of every
passerby.
The Premium Store is thronged with Wis
itors all day and every day. Never since
Diamond I" soap was placed on the mar
ket has the demand been as great as at
present. Attracted by the "two-for-one"
wrapper proposition. In effect all this
month. hundreds Of Omaha housewives who
have hitherto remained loyal to other laun-
dry soaps are now using Diamond &C."

KARR SENDS FOR HIS AXE
Promises wiId-Eyed Stranger that He
Will DO some Wood
ChoppinR.

A man with disheveled hair and a wild
look in his eye called on Acting Mayor
Karr yesterday morning and said:
Il want you to go out to Meredith avenue
and the Belt Line and cut about three acres
Of timber that you'll find there. Thugs
from OWE hide in that timber and every
time l go by to or from home they shoot at
me-"
Mr.. Karr sized up his visitor and con-
cluded after a moments scrutiny that he
(Karr) had better go into the wood-chop-
ping business.
"George!" he called to his major domo
out in the next room. "Will you bring me
an axe? I'm going out to Meredith avenue
and Belt Line to chop down some trees"
George yer that he would go down
into the cellar and get It at once, which so
pacihed the visitor that he regarded the
matter as settled and went away. The man
is known to several city hall attaches as
being mildly insane.

Special Interest to All smo;xers.

In the last few years changes have been
made in the methods employed by a large
number of manufacturers to increase the
sale of their different brands OF cigars. Some
have resorted to the scheme of giving away
everything imaginable from a toothpick to
q horse and buggy, sewing machine, etc.
Others are giving from 80 to S75 cigars
gratis with each thousand cigars. Other
frms advertise their brands by painting
the town red, and the smoker is asking him.
self daily who pays for all this. A visit to
the FAR. Rice Mercantile Cigar Co. fac
tory will show what methods they are EN-
ploying to produce such wonderful results
on all their brands, especially the Mercan-
tile. Only a few years ago this brand was
made by three men and now between 200
and 300 persons are kept busy on this cigar
alone. A member OF the firm states their
motto is. "Give the consumer full value and
quality only This card is packed in every
box OF their cigars:
'Does 1t pay the dealer to give customers
full value: or. will the public be satisfied
with cigars Of reduced value and billed at
full value?
I'VE do not work schemes, such as Civ
tng free cigars. lighters, cutters. etc., nor
paint the towns or circus advertise our
goods. and in this way really furnish in
ferior quality. yet insist the dealer gets
something for nothing; but we give the
very best value we can for the price, be-
lieving that dealers in the long run will
and 1t to their interest to push straight
goods to the front. The constantly in
'creasing demand for our goods is convinc-
ing proof that the consumer appreciates
full value goods. Is not the retail dealer
handling scheme goods the real sufferer in
the end?"
Study this question carefully.
Visitors are impressed not only with the
cleanliness of the factory itself. but also
with the body OF union men employed max
ing the cigars. If you are not smoking the
Mercantile don't fail to try one and you will
soon md 1t is all quality.

Showing I'm Money order Business.
The greatest increase in the volume of
business, however, is shown in the money
order department, and the showing is all
the more satisfactory, as 1t shows that
through the Postofice department for the
three months ending March 81 the city Of
Omaha has added to its cash on hand the
sum of 1929, S46.O6, this being the difference
between the amount of the orders issued at
Omaha and the value OF the orders paid
during that term. The total value Of the
money order business at the Omaha office
for the last quarter was $615 ,543, including
orders issued and orders paid, compared
with 1924, 92O.1O for the same term last year,
or an increase Of $50, 622. 80 for that term,
the value of the orders issued having in
creased about s12. 900 and the value Of the
orders paid having increased about $500
showing an increase Of net receipts to the

the corresponding quarter Of last year. The

resulted in the finding of hole. The
animal was dug out and proved to be
full grown mink. He was nearly dead,
the rooster having pecked cut both his

The House Agrees to One Amend.
ment tn the CcnstitutiOn.
81. Paul. March 1.-THE house yes
terday adopted q single constitutional
amendment for submission to the vot-
ers at the next general election. In eff
feet 1t is as follows:
10 strike out the provision Of the
constitution that all taxes shall be as
nearly equal as may be, and all prop
erty on which taxes are to be levied
snail have a cash valuation, equal and
uniform throughout the state; to sub
stltute provision that 1.-The power Of
taxation shall never be surrendered,
suspended or contracted away" to
strike out the words laws shall be
passed taxing Ill moneys, credits. in
Vestments in bonds, stocks, joint stock
companies. or otherwise, and also all
real and personal property according to
Its true value in money!" to change
maximum personal property exemp-
ton from 5000 for each individual to $500
Tor one member of a family; to provide
sEat all taxes shall be uniform upon
tie same class of subjects and shall be
levied and collected under general laws
:or public purposes" to provide that
existing railroad gross earnings taxes
shall not be affected.
AS yet the proposed constitutional
amendment is the only thing in the
way of tax reform to show for the $780,
OOO which the extra session has cost,
unless it be the repeal of the 1901 dog
tax law, which, after ten months trial,
proved unsatisfactory.
In the Senate.
The old board of control controversy
opened in the senate yesterday.
1t was occasioned by the introduction
of a bill by Senator r. v. Brewer of
st. Cloud to exclude from the financial
management of the board of control,
all the states educational institutions,
and re-establish such financial man
agement with the respective boards
which previously had it in charge, He
succeeded in getting the bill ordered
printed and referred to the reception
committee.
The Restrictive constitutional
amendment in taxation prepared by the
senate judiciary subcommittee was de-
bated for three hours on general orders
yesterday afternoon, recommended ia
vorably without single amendment,
and passed.
