ChamBerIain's stomach and Liver
Tablets Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, in what way
are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets superior to pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant TO
take. more gentle and mild In their action
and more reliable, as they can always be
depended upon. Then they cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and leave the bowels
in a natural condition. while pills are moro
harsh in effect and their use is often fol.
lowed by constipation.

JAMES CREIGHTON IS DEAD
Pioneer Citizen Passes Away at an Early
Hour in the Morning. . - I.
PROMINENT FIGURE IN EARLY HISTORY
Member of First City Council and
First Board of Public Works
and One of the Graders
of Union Pacific.

James Creighton, one of the pioneer resi-
dents of Omaha died at his home in this
city about / o'clock yesterday morning,
after an illness of several weeks.
Mr.. Creighton was born in Guernsey
county, Ohio, March /. 1922. In company
with his brother, Harry Creighton, he
came to Omaha in 1856, and Immediately
assumed a prominent part IN local affairs.
The following year he was appointed to
the city council to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of T. G. Goodwill, member
of the first council. In 1873 he was mem
Der of the Board of Education, and In
1877 a member of the state legislature
from Douglas county. In 1889 he became
a member of the first Board of Public
Works.
Shortly after coming to Omaha he en-
gagged with his cousins, Edward and
John A. Creighton, in freighting re-
tween Omaha and the gold fields
of the west. One OF the notable in
stances of the extremity to which the
freighters of those days were driven to
secure immunity from road agents and In
dians was illustrated by Mr.. Creighton
while he was engaged as contractor to
supply telegraph poles in the construction
of the Pacihc telegraph line between Fort
Laramie and Fort Brdger. The transpor-
tation company had deposited with 1t AO,-
900 in gold dust to be brought to the Mis-
souri, river and II was impossible to Sc
cure an escort for the precious metal. Mr..
Creighton fastened beneath the wagons in
the train a number OF telegraph poles, and

The Mccoy Case Rema nd ID

The Supreme Court of Louisi-
ana has rendered a decision an
nulling the verdict of the jury in
the Mccoy case, and demanding
the case for a new trial before
the District Court. The opinion
was handed down by Associate
Justice Monroe last Monday.
1t is probable that the trial of
Mccoy will be proceeded with
without delay and that his case
will be called up during the next
jury term to be held in March.
Mccoy, who is a negro, was
found guilty of criminal assault
on white lady, and the crime
was committed in the second
ward of this parish during the
fall of last year. Judge Debail-
lon called a special term of court
to try him. He was found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged.
His counsel. John L. Kennedy,
took an appeal from the verdict.
which was annulled by the
Supreme Court.
The following is taken from
the syllabus of the court, and
gives in brief the reasons for the
reversal:
'.Where in prosecution for criminal
assault, the prosecutrix has testified that she
made complaint TO persons whom she names,
and the persons named have testified
State witnesses, in confederation, it is error
to deny 10 the defendan, the right to bring
out, on cross examination, the details of the
testified to in chief.
Where, upon the whole examination, upon
his vor dire, of person summoned as a
juror; the most that can be made of it is,
that he had formed and expressed opinion
upon the merits of the case, that would re-
quire strong evidence to overcome, that his
mind is not in such a condition to be in
fluenced solely, by the evidence to be sub
mitted on the trial, and that it would be
influenced, to a great extent, by the opinion
alrc ady formed, but that, nevertheless, he
could go into the jury box, and, if the evil
dence should prove strong enough, disregard
such oo Mon and decide the case upon such
evidence, challenge, for cause, should be
sus, ained.'

Letter From Mr.. Girard.


EDIroR LAFAYETTE GAZE rTE:
You have frequently expressed
the Willingness to use the
columns of your paper FOR the
discussion of questions of public
interest. I therefore take ad-
vantage of your kind and gene
rOus offer to submit a SugSes-
ton on the all important ques-
ton of special tax for public
education.
The unanimity with which the
taxpayers have always sup
ported such tax propositions is
sufficient proof of their interest
in and appreciation of public
education The taxpayers of
the town and parish OfLafayette
have never failed in their duty
in this respect.
When the matter of the lOca-
ton Of the Industrial Institute
was submitted, the taxpayers
with singular oneness of pur-
pose, put aside all differences.
political and all others, and by
united effort secured for them
selves the greatest benefactiOn
that has ever come to this COM
munity.
feel fully justified in risking
the statement, that whenever
the proposition is submitted for
a special tax for the improve
ment of the school facilities the
authorities will receive the
hearty support of the taxpayers.
In this connection I desire
also to call the attention to the
authorities both town and parish
to the duty they owe to the tax
payers in the matter of rendition
of account of their trust in the
management of public funds.
A case which l think is partic
ularly in point is that of the
special tax for the water works
and electric lights.
I have been informed by some
Of those in position to know, that
Notwithstanding the tax has
nearly all been collected, there
is still large proportion of
those bonds still outstanding
and unpaid, and that the amount
yet available from that tax can
not possibly meet those bonds.
I have also been informed,
that the total revenues from the
special water works and electric
light tax should have been sutii
cient to meet the entire issue of
bonds.
1 was unable to obtain any
exact figures.
While on this subject I con-
slider it just and proper that the
Police Jury should furnish the
taxpayers with full statement

of the pub bile funds.
ment, published from time to
time, it is practically impossible
to form any reasonable estimate
of our financial affairs.
Mr.. Editor, 1 stand ready at
any proposition which the au-
Improvement.
not lose sight Of the importance
and distribution of the funds so
realized. It is right and proper
and the taxpayers Of the town
to do their duty in this respect.
IL IS equally f1SnU ana proper
that, the people should have full
information of the uses and pur
poses to which proceeds of the
special tax are placed as also the
uses and purposes to which the
present revenues derived from
the regular taxes are applied.
Thanking you for your kind
ness for permitting so great a
trespass on your time and space,
and earnestly hoping that all
will pull together in this com
mendable Enterprise,
I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
Crow GIRARD.
