DR.. r. V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce

in the action alleged that the defend

containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con.
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr..
BoR's statement, pretending to give
some Of the ingredients Of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary

ingredients Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite

following native roots: Golden Seal,

bers of the typographical union, were found
guilty by Judge Kennedy of contempt of
court in violating the printers injunction
after a hearing lasting two days. Judge
Kennedy announced at the conclusion of
the case Thursday afternoon that he was
forced to find the defendants had violated

for the two men, at once made a motion

Considerable bitter feeling between the

disclosed at the hearing One of the incl
dents of the case was the disarming by
the court bailiff of George +. Wilson. the
nonuion man who charged Curry and Com
stock with assaiing him with abuse. The
fact he had a loaded gun in his pocket
came out during his examination, and the
court directed him TO hand it over to the
bailiff Wilson declared he carried the gun
to protect himself from the strikers.
Two other cases have been filed against
Curry, but in all OF them he charges the

was openly charged that the nonunion men
purposely picked quarrels with union men,
relying on the injunction for protection

OUR LETTER SOx.


OMAHA. Oct. 4.-To the Editor of The
Bee: My phenomenal success in arousinG
public interest in the states of Washington
Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming, with the
result of over 1900 contributors to the fund
for erecting monuments to perpetuate the
memory of the old Oregon trail, and my
conspicuous failure to secure a like re-
Spouse from the citizens of this great state
through which the trail passed, is about to
pass into history as a record of the attempt
to line that old landmark with permanent
granite monuments from the Missouri river
to Puget sound unless some favorable ac-
ton is speedily taken to obtain a different
result.
! wish to make one more appeal to the
citizens of Nebraska before passing into
Iowa on my way TO Indianapolis, my start
ing place for Oregon in 1851. At Boise,
Idaho, the plan adopted to interest the
school children in the work was with the
cordial support of the school authorities.
to drive my OK team and old historic wagon
in front of the various school houses in
that city and let the children see the
outfit, address them for "a few moments
as to the history of the great migration
TO Oregon, the purposes of my trip, and
ask them to consult with their parents and
bring their contributions TO their teachers
TO create fund to build a monument that
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-10-06

would be children's token Of love for the
old pioneers who risked all that Oregon
might become a great American state In
stead of a British colony. I promised each
child should receive a certificate Of their
contribution and that the roll of contribu-
lions signed by the child should be pre-
served in the Historical society records
for future reference as they grew to man
hood and womanhood. The result was that
nearly 100 children contributed, creating
a fund sufficient to erect a fine granite
shaft, which was planted on the state
house grounds and dedicated in the pres
ence of over 5000 people.
II the school authorities will cordially
second such a move / will, as soon as
released from my engagement at the carni-
val. inaugurate such a work here in
Omaha, visit every school and make an
effort to secure a fund that will build a
monument that shall be pride OF the city
and endure for centuries to come.
Bearing in mind that school authorities
very properly are unwilling to undertake
such a work unless they can feel assured
Of the support of the patrons OF the schools,
/ will ask the parents to at once communi-
cate with the school authorities their
views If the response is favorable l will
on Monday, october s, inaugurate the cam
paign outlined. Otherwise / will cross the
river wondering why this apathy.

Mrs. Sadie shrimp, a domestic in the en-
ploy of George w. Ryan, 1857 Seward street,
fell from the running board of crowded

Mrs. shrimp was on her way TO the city
to view the automobile fioral parade and
was unable TO find a seat on the car, the
running board being occupied, as well
as the seats, with sightseers. The street
car was so crowded that no stops were
being made, except TO let of passengers,
and was travelling at a high rate of
speed when Mrs. Shrimp dropped her hand
bag. She made a start TO recover 1t
and fell heavily to the pavement, strik-
ing directly on the back of her head. Her
skull was fractured and she never re-
gained consciousness after the accident,
although she was taken to the office Of
DR.. +. A. Nelson, Fortieth and Cunning

her. The body was taken in charge by
Coroner Bradley. who will hold an inquest
10 ascertain, II possible, the exact cir
cumstances surrounding the accident.
The dead woman came TO Omaha from

wishes today. Mrs. shrimp was "a years old
and, IL is said, was related to former Patrol
