The National and American league sched-
ules are reversed this year and the Chicago
Nationals will start the season at home,
remaining until June !, while the White
Sox are travelling. Last season In the
close race the White Sox were in the east
but this year will be at home.
Monaghan pheasants are to be transported
from Oregon to Illinois to replete the fields
and forests. large supply has been or
dered from the breeding farms OF Oregon
and will be distributed over the state

chance to multiply.
An important meeting of the Omaha
Rod and Gun club will be held at Town
sends Friday evening to elect officers for
the year and perfect the plans for building
the club house. The location VIII again
be taken up and the offer Of the Court

newed.
Seymour and Lajoie were the leaders in
batting in the National American leagues
last year, and IL was no short squirt of
good luck batting which landed these two
on top. They have reached that pinnacle
OF fame by sustained ability, covering
considerable stretch OF time, They belong
TO small group OF batsmen who for a
decade have been hitting over the 800
mark. This list includes Keller. Fred
Elmer Flick Joe Kelley, Dolan. Burkett
and Buckley. Clarke. Bucket. Beckley and
Kelley failed to reach this mark last sea-
son. but this was an exceptional year N
their cases. Lajoie is probably the king
OF all for continuous good performance

NASH REPLIES TO CRITICS
Says Hue and Cry Against Milwauk ee
f. Trick of Big Chicago
Operators.

This whole hue and crv against the
Milwaukee Is raised at the beck and call
of the big operators in Chicago to force
a condition. the effect of which will be to
tear down the Iowa rates" said f. A.
Nash. general western agent of the Mil
waukee, on his return from New York.
where he had been for two weeks. This
thing has been threshed out several times
before and the contention made by the
exchange always is proven wrong. Kansas
City did not build up it's grain market by
grain from Missouri nor did Minneapolis
build up its by grain from Wisconsin.
1.-THE charge made that we are holding
the grain until the southern ports are
closed and the grain VIII mere cast. so we
can get the haul is also wrong, because
we can make Just as much money by haul
ing grain to Forest, ILL.,. and then turning
ii over TO the Illinois Central which road
will then take 1t on to the sulf No road
is more interested in making a great mar
ket at Omaha than the Milwaukee, the
Illinois Central and the Wabash. which
lines have no road west of the river
THE grain on our lines is local and re
are willing 1t should come TO Omaha on a
fair basis but when the rate is cut to 50
TO accommodate certain elevators and we
pay $4,000 a year for the use Of the bridge
and tracks. we should be allowed to coll
lect the regular tariff rates. We can't
sacrifice our business for a little tenn
porary benefit. which will do more harm
than good in the end.
There is nothing to this matter, any,
how as we are holding no 1ars, for these
have all been delivered at the tariff rate"

settle up an important real estate litigation

prominent lawyer. AS "a retaining fee they
offered the senator what purported TO be a
check for 800, but which afterward proved
to be merely a piece OF pape- with writing
on it, The callers were out OF cash and
wanted s35 until banking hours Monday
morning. They received the s35. Both were
well dressed and had the appearances of
men OF affairs.

INVESTIGATION OF THE JURY
Examination May Be Made Of Twelve Men
Who Liberated Pat Grove.
TWO ESPECIALLY UNDER SUSPICION
one of Them said to BE Chum of
Grove and Attendant
Upon sister of Jim
Callahan.

Persistent rumors. which County Attor-
ney Slabaugh would neither confirm nor
deny, were floating around the court house
Monday to the effect that an investigation
OF some of the members of the Pat Grove
jury would be made. 1t is understood the
investigation touches two of them who are
said to be close friends of relatives Of
Grove.
Persons who say they know what they
are talking about are responsible for the
statement that one member of this jury
one OF the two suspected. besides being
boon companion of Grove. has kept COM
pany with a sister of Jim Callahan, Groves
alleged pal in the Cudahy kidnapping Moth
ing more definite than this could be learned
Il have nothing to say" said County At
torney Slabaugh when asked as to the truth
Of the report
Louis Rasmussen. one of the jurors, has
received letter signed Citizens Commit
tee" advising him to leave the city on &C
count of his verdict. He showed the letter
to other members Of the jury and they ex-
pressed considerable Indignation that such
measures should be taken. The letter con-
tanned no direct threat, but merely advised
Rasmussen to get out of town.
w. III. Sloane, another of the Jurors also
received a similar letter and after receiving
1t went TO, Judge Sutton and was excused
for the remainder of the term. NJ. Rosen-
baum also secured an excuse for the rest
of the term though he said he had not
received letter. 1t is understood the
judges will take no public action toward
excusing the jurors as it was feared 1t
might make other jurors feel it was neces-
sary to bring in verdicts of guilty. The
members of the jury may be quietly ex-
cused however, for the remainder of the
term.

WOMEN SPEAK FOR OMAHA
-Four Hundred Meet and Denounce Verdict
in the Grove Case.
MRS. cUDAHY UNABLE TO Be PRESENT
Most Prominent Families of the City
Represented In This Expression
of Indignation mt GROSS
Injustice.

Fully 40 women. representing the most
prominent families of the city, participated
in an Indignation meeting Monday after
noon at the First Congregational church
against the verdict In the Pat Grove case.
Although Mrs. Cudahy had expressed her
desire and intention to be present, the nsr-
vous strain of the last week rendered her
unable to leave her home, and at the last
minute she gave up trying to 60
Mrs Mary @. Andrews served as chair
man and announced that the meeting was
I'm no sense mass meeting. but merely a
preliminary to decide what part the women
should have in a larger meeting of citizens
to protest against the greatest legal farce
and one of the greatest moral wrongs ever
perpetrated against the city of Omaha"
Mrs w. p. Hartford said the verdict was
so opposed to the higher sense OF the COM
munity that the people were dazed, and
she asked the women TO consider the case
not through sympathy, but rather from the
standpoint Of an injured community.
Mrs. f. w Nash held the more represen-
tative men of the community responsible
for such miscarriages of justice, because
they will not serve on juries and will get
out of that duty in any way they can,
leaving it to incompetents or whoever can
be picked up. She charged the women with
their responsibility to see to It that the
men of their families did their duty in such
matters.
Bar Grove from state.
Mrs. Byron Reed was one of several to
express the opinion that Pat Grove should
never be allowed to live in Nebraska. Mrs.
c. H. Dewey suggested that the Jury
should be barred from ever serving again
and similar expressions indicated the feel
ing of the women.
After general discussion the following
resolutions were presented and unani-
mously carried:
Whereas. The verdict of the Jury i'm the
late criminal trial known as the Cudahy
kidnapping case has aroused the Indignation
of the lawabiding citizens of Omaha; and
as assent be it the sense of this meeting
that we express, in strongest terms, our
disapproval of such verdict ana our
astonishment that under the laws of this
great state there could be such a miscar-
rage of justice. and Furthermore that we
declare ourselves ready to cooperate with
other organizations of the city which may
desire for the public good to enter a pro-
test against the evident injustice done in
this case.
The resolutions were signed by Mrs. W.
p. Hartford Mrs. +. w. Nash, Mrs. c. H.
Herring, Mrs. Ben Gallagher, Mrs. ]. E.
Baum. Miss Z. NJ. Mccartney.

that the work OF the state officials was
confined to the verification of the as
sets and liabilities of the companies
They did not look into the nature of
the business transactions, because they
had not the time to do so, and it would
practically be doing the work of the
directors of the company. When the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ress, and that is by constitutional rem
ecies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
re suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ter are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucuous surfaces.
