Protect Proprietary Medicines.

Did it ever occur to you that pro-
prietary medicines are a blessing 20
mankind generally? The good on,s
have long continued sale; the poor
ones have short life and soon leave
the market.
1t we had to depcni entirely upon
physicians and druggists it would be
expensive and very inconvenient at
times, especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con-
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many families and
thousands of lives have been saved
by its use, when it was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup is
the best household remedy for coughs,
colds, throat and lung trouble. 1t
quickly relieves the hacking cough,
loosens the phlegm, and brings sound
and refreshing sleep. Twenty-Five

New Orleans, April 6.-The first
Mississippi Valley and Pan-American
Congress which opened its session
here today, lis the result of many
years of agitation on the part of the
commercial interests of the Mississip-
pi valley, in favor of securing a larger
share of the business, which is carried
on between central portions of the
United States, particularly the Mis-
sissippi basin and the various coun-
tries of South and Central America.
For a long time the commercial or
ganizations of New Orleans and other
coast cities on the gulf, have made
every effort to bring about concerted
action of the various organizations,
with view of increasing the COM
merce with the Latin-American
countries, but their efforts did not
have the desired result, owing to a
lack of organization. 1t was with
the intention of remedying these con-
ditions that the combined commercial
organizations of New Orleans decided
to call together a congress of repre-
sentatives of the commercial and in
dustrial organizations of the Mississip-
pi valley. 1t is the plan of the or
ganiZers of this movement to form a
permanent organization under the
name of the Mississippi Valley-Pan-
American association and to organize
the movement on a large scale.
The territory represented in the
congress extends from Pittsburg in the
east to Denver in the west and the
| Great Lakes in the north. Nearly
every prominent commercial and in
dustrlal organization within that area
is represented by delegates and in ad-
dition to the regular delegates there
are several state governors, mayors OF
many cities in the Mississippi valley
representatives of railroad companies
etc, in attendance.
The session of the congress was
opened by Mr.. Henry Schreiber
The delegates were welcomed by
Governor Blanchard, of Louisiana
Mayor Behran and the president o.
the New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce In his address Mr.. James w
Porch, Of the executive committee
called attention to the fact that th'
completion of the Panama cana
would cause an enormous increase II
the commercial activity of the soutl
and that, by rational and concerted
action the Mississippi valley would b.
able to secure its just share of tn
business which would come to thi
country after the canal would be fin
ished. He emphasized that now /
the psychological moment for start
ing such a movement and urged thu
. commercial organizations represented
/. by delegates in the conference t.
| make every effort to secure favorable
legislation and to cooperate in tn
I interest of dlverting as large a per
centage as possible to the gulf ports o
the United States.
The conference will be In session
three days. The business sessions will
be held in the forenoons and in th'
afternoons the delegates will maxi
tours of inspection to- acquaint them
selves with the New Orleans gatewa.
and the advantages which the cit!
offers to shippers. Tugs will be read!
to take the delegates around th
harbor and along the waterfront
while the trips to the various rail
road terminals will be made in auto
mobiles. On the last evening ban
quet will be given at the st. Charlie
hotel.

subject of the establishment in Omaha of

the government. We worked out all the
details of a plan to obtain law author
izlng the designation of Omaha as a general
depot We feel confident we can get the
formal recommendation of the War depart
ment and Quartermaster General Hum
phrey. because the facts show that the
business Of this territory can be done more
cheaply at Omaha than from other depots.
"In a statement prepared for the War
department we summed up the whole prop
osition in this wise: II a general issue
and supply department is located at Omaha
by the government, the War department
will be gamer in the saving OF freight, In
the saving of labor cost and In the saving
Of time, and will undoubtedly be able TO
get contracts filled at a lower average
price than at present.
II called on Mr.. Leupp, commissioner of
Indian affairs, and had a general talk with
Major Larrabee on the bids made by
Omaha people for supplies delivered at
Omaha, and found the conditions bespoke
a fair show for the Omaha bidders. Major
Larrabee assured me we would be prop
erly taken care Of. and 1 believe the pro-
portion of Omaha bids accepted this year
will be larger than ever before"

girl. Judge sutton gave him ten years at

Growth of the Lesan Company.

That was a wise old philosopher who
declared that three moves are worse than
FIRE." and doubtless his wisdom was
hard won Ia the school OF experience. But
he must have referred to moves OF a domes-
tic character and not to moves made neces-
sary and desirable by increasing business
and lack OF proper facilities.
Such a move as this last named has re-
Gently been made by the Lesan Company
advertising agents. OF St. Louis. Three
years ago the Lesan Company occupied
small offices In an old building near Fourth
and Broadway. The business was limited
and the company only slightly known out
side Of st. Louis. II. e. Lesan was head
of the company then, as now. He selected
II. s. Gardner, then advertising agent OF
the Cotton Belt railway, as a likely as
sistant and induced him to take over the
business management of the agency.
From that day the star OF the Lsesan Com
pany was In its ascendancy. Within a year
new Offices were leased In the Dolph build
ing and the company became known force
in the advertising field. About this time
a prize OF $500 was offered for the best
article on how to make St. Louis a city of
! 100000 population. In competition with
the cleverest writer's OF the southwest, MIR.
Lesan was awarded that prize. The hazard
OF fortune for the LeSan Company had been
won. From that day on contracts poured
In. Additional men were employed and in
various lines some OF the strongest COPY
ever sent out from ST. Louis originated In
the Lesan agency and found its way into
/ the leading newspapers and magazines OF
/ the country.
| Last week the company leased and occu-
| pied the entire third floor OF the new Kin
/ lock building, Tenth and Locust streets
About 10000 feet of floor space will be used
for the handsome ofices and there will
be elbow room for every man who has
a new idea to exploit or an original plan
TO carry out. The Lesan Company has
made place for itself among the big

EVEN POLICE HAVE TROUBLES
Test Alarms from Federal Building
Give Them Runs once
Week.

Uncle Sans anxiety for the safety OF
the money. stamps and other valuables in
the Omaha postoffice building, and the
methods which he employs to safeguard his
treasures against burglars, are giving the
Omaha police no little trouble, and there is
beginning to be a feeling Of disfavor and
rebellion among the bluecoated guardians
of the peace and safety Of the city.
1t is no unusual thing to see the police
patrol wagon race up Dodge street at the
swiftest possible clip, paying little heed to
the numerous yawning chasms in the paw
ing or the danger of collisions at corners,
and drawing up, horses putting, blowing
and sweating, at the rear door of the fed
eral building. This occurs usually about 3
o'clock in the morning.
This performance is repeated about once
a week, or has been the last few weeks,
and the reason r. simple. Uncle Sam has
a system of alarm wires running through
the big building. and he wants to make
sure It is In good working order every once
in while. s.. h, sets on one Of the alarms
occasionally b. see how the wires work.
Whether he also does this to test the po-
lice is not clear, but certain It is he is
causing the department no end of annoy
ance by his false alarms, for they must be
treated the same as any other.
This idea of testing the alarm system is
a new one, and, It is stated. is a result of
recent orders from Washington The first
alarm sent the police TO the postoffice In
deadly earnest, but they were not long in
recognizing the nature of the calls, and
now, when the alarm says burglars at
the postoffice," there is much muttering as
the call is unwillingly answered.
The police are most concerned at present
to know how long the cry Of wolf! Wolff
from the postofiice will continue. A hurry
rum is ever fraught with danger to life,
limb and property, and with such a street
to traverse as Dodge is at present the po-
lice feel the risk to themselves and persons
who may happen to be on the street is too
great to be SO unnecessarily taken. No
positive Information is at hand. but word
has been circulated that tests are to be
a regular thing from now on. 1t remains
to be seen IL the plan will not wear out
the vigilance Of the police and work injury
when the time of need actually arrives.

WRIT COMES JUST in TIME
Courts order Saves Chinaman Who
is About to Board the
Train.

An appeal to a writ Of habeas corpus
was taken yesterday afternoon to prevent
the deportation from the United States of
Leo Lung On. a Chinaman. whom the
United States courts have decided is an
illegal resident of this country. Yester-
day evening had been decided on as the
time Deputy Marshal Mathews was to
start west with the Celestial, but he was
stopped by the writ, which was issued just
before train time by Judge Troup of the
district court. The writ Is made return
able Tuesday and the legality OF the action
of the federal authorities will be passed
on then by the district Judge.
The petition upon which the writ was
issued states the chinaman has taken an
appeal on a writ OF error and that the
order of deportation was issued upon a
defective and void information and cpm-
plant. Leo is charged with being a la
borer, who got past the immigration Of
ficials without having a right to live in
this country.
