HAS ONE CLAW INTO OMAHA
TOntine Company Condemned by Court
Maintains Branch Here.
LOCAL AGENT SMILES OVER TROUBLE
Expresses Confidence in the Ability
of COnpany's Lawyer TO Circum-
vent the Prosecution started
In Minnesota.

o. =. Bartlett, the Omaha agent OF the
Tontine Savings association, side-steps the
knockout blow given his company by Judge
McGee in Minneapolis the other day and
makes desperate effort to treat the matter
as nothing serious.
Judge McGee's order dlssolves the asso-
citation, declares its articles and charter
forfeited and directs George P, Flannery a.
receiver to take charge, yet Mr.. Bartlett
smiles through It all and promises that 1t
shall not affect the Omaha branch. Just
why It shall not he doesn't care to explain.
To a representative Of The Bee he started
to make a statement for the public and
then concluded he wouldn't; he appeared to
find It an awkward task. He did say, how
ever, that the association Is in q hx TO
fight the case and has a man at the head
who is accomplished In the art Of circum-
venting prosecution, so that In all proba-
bility the fight will be carried into the
United States supreme court.
The report from Minneapolis states that
Judge McGee found that the company IL
conducting a lottery, that It has practiced
trickery, fraud and deceit In all its trans.
actions with the public, and has forfeited
It's right to existence and a charter. One
Of the fragrant things shown is in the lit
erature sent out, In winch the company
uses a cut Of the New York Life building
with large letters running clear across the
front making the words Diamond Invest
ment Company" as II the whole building
belonged to the company. In commenting
upon this feature, the court saysi
'It is immaterial, so far as results are
concerned. whether a fraud is perpetrsted
by directly asserting falsehood or by con-
cealing the truth, or whether misrepre-
sentation is by way of suggestion. Some
resort to one form, some to another, but
this association appears to have resorted
to all three forms. Its right to exist as q
corporation has been from 1897 used for
the purpose of promoting a dishonest, vi
cious and fraudulent scheme"
From Judge McGee's memorandum It APP
pears that the five directors of the associa-
tlon, on a paid-up capital Of only ALSO, re-
ceived in 1901 the sum Of $S9, 600 In divi-
dends and $25, 900 in the same way in the
first thirty-two days of 1902. The investi-
cation of the company's affairs was brought
about through inquiries made by the at
torney general.
The Omaha branch Of the Minneapolis
tontine concern was opened about a year
ago and there are between 300 and 400 "In-
v~estors' In this city.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
T~vventy-six Filed Against the City
Since beginning of the Pres

George G. Cockrell, special agent Of the

his books and finds that twenty-six claims
for personal damages have been filed
against the city since January /. Nearly
all Of these are based upon alleged Injuries
sustained by persons slipping on '1cephalt"
p~avenents during the extended cold spell
which followed the holidays.
"out of his list" said he, only two suits
have been fled. and 1t is not likely that any
OF the others will find their way
into the courts. A good many OF
them are barefaced holdups. Our sys-
tenn Of prompt photography is a great dis
susder of damage suits. The police report

OVerWOrked Women.

Fatigue is the natural result of hard work, but ex.
haustion results from weakness.
Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh and
blood.
1t makes little difference what the field of work is.
whether at home or elsewhere. if there is weakness, work
brings exhaustion.
Ability to stand the strain of hard work is the priv
lege of the healthy and robust.
How our hearts ache for the sickly women that work
for daily bread at some i'll paid factory employment
How distressing also to see a woman struggling with
her daily round of household duties, when her back and
head are aching, and every new movement brings out a
new pain
If the mere looking on at these suffering women
touches our hearts, how hopeless must life be to the wo-
men themselves2
Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well
person cannot understand.
Can these ailing, weak women, who are called upon
to do work which would tire a strong man, be made to see
that they can easily and surely better their condition
Will not the volumes of letters from women made
strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
convince them of the virtues of this medicine
How shall the FACT that it WILL HELP THEN be
made plain
When a medicine has been successful in more than a
million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying
it, 81 do not believe it would help me"l
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and
discouraged, exhausted with each days work. You have
some arrangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Will help you just
as surely as it has others.
Read the letters from women in the opposite column
OF this paper, and when you go to your drug store to buy
this sterling medicine, do not let yourself be persuaded to
accept the druggists own valueless preparation because it
