oLLERMAN GETS HARD BUMP
Young Man Accused of Making Goo
Goo Eyes Now Has Broken Nose
and other Things.

P. Oleramn, 500 North Seventeenth
street. received broken nose and other
bruises In an unusal manner about .
O'Clock Sunday evening. He was walking
along Sixteenth street, between ouglas and
Farnam, when he passed a young man
with two young women. After passing
the young man left his charges and fol-
lowed him, accusing him of making eyes
at one Of the girls. Ollerman denied and
there were warm words Both men saw
nothing but a fight would settle differ
ences, so ehey proceeded to Seventeenth
and Farnam streets, where there were not
so many people, to have It out.
On the way, however, the strange young
man. thinking, perhaps, that to get in the
first blow would ensure his return to the
waiting fair ones with a whole skin and
unmarried features suddenly turned and
dealt ollerman a blow which broke his
nose. He also did a few more such rude
things and then disappeared.
Ollerman reported his experience to the
police, giving description OF the pugilis-
tic swain and also had his wounds cared
for by a surgeon He was strong In his
denial to the police that he made goo

A verdict has been rendered in favor
OF the plaintiff in the libel suit brought
against the Ladies Home Journal pub
lished by the Curtis Publishing Co. by
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso.
citation, of which DR.. r. V. Pierce
is President. The suit was for 500, coo
damages, and was brought by Doctor
Pierce against the Curtis Publishing
Company. for making false statements
about one of his standard family
medicines known as Or. Hcrce's Fd-
UOrite Prescription. In the May num-
Der of the Ladies Home Journal (19O4 a.,
Mr.. Edward Box, the editor, stated
that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
contained alcohol and other harm
ful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had in
the action alleged that the defendant
maliciously published this article con-
tanning such false and defamatory mat
ter. DR.. Pierce further claimed that no
alcohol is, or ever was, contained in his
"Favorite Prescription; that said med
iciRe was a vegetable preparation and
contained no deleterious ingredients
whatever; that Mr.. Bok's statement,
pretending TO give some of the ingredi-
ents of said medicine, was wholly and
absolutely false; and that by means of
the publication of the article Or. Pierce
was injured in reputation and good
name and credit as a manufacturer,
TO the extent of 500 600, for which
amount of damages he brought suit.
During the trial, the Vice President of
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation stated, that the ingredients Of
nr pinrrafu EaxynrfNn pracnriV,tiAV,
extracted from the following native
roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohosh,
Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Uni
corn, by means of pure glycerine. He
was asked how he knew, as a physician
and experienced medical man, that the
"Favorite Prescription - was a care for
the diseases peculiar to women, such as
leucorrhna, amenorrhRa, dysmenor-
rhGa, ante-version, retro-version, and
he stated that he knew such was the
fact because of his professional ex-
perience and the many thousands of
women whose ills had been cured by
this prescription" This experience
was corroborated by the standard Med
ical Authorities of the several schools
of medicine endorsing the various in
gradients in the strongest terms. The
Vice-President, being asked to give au-
thorities as to the value of the above
roots, read from the standard works,
such as the United States Dispensatory;
The American Dispensatory Organic
Medicines, by Grover Coe, NJ. D.; Ma
terra Medica and Therapeutics, by Pro-
fessor Finley Ellingwood of the Bennett
Medical College of Chicago.
From such authorities and his own
professional experience he showed how
the ingredients of this prescription"
acted upon the female system, impart-
ing increased power to the hearts
action, and tone to the nervous system,
and detailed its remedial influence in
disorders of the female organs.
The retraction printed by the Curtis
Publishing Company ttco months after
the HbelOus statement appeared stated
definitely that analyses had been made
at their request and that the VA
vorite Prescription" did not contain
either alcohol, opium or digitalis. But

The mine, you know, said Mr.. Bancroft
lis said to have been one Of fabulous rich

story now goes up at Livingston that the
original chart which was drawn by Crow
chief in 1865 and given to a citizen OF Boze-
man. under promise that no effort would
ne made to locate the mine. has been re,
suscitated and an expedition is being organ
ICED at Livingston to go i'm search OF the
mine. The story of the Lost Cabin mine
has been told again and again, and each
time with more romantic and tragic trim
mings. and now the story comes that
descendant OF the man 10 whom the Crow
chief gave his chart OF the location os the
mine Is said to have found II among some
old papers supposed to be of no value. A
number OF Montana miners have been
shown the chart and they believe that the
document is the original one. The party
about TO set out for the hunt Of the mine
consists Of ten or a dozen experienced
miners and pTospectors, who know every
foot Of the country and are confident of
finding the famed bonanza. II is said to
be located somewhere about the headwsters

Memories of almost forty years we're re-
called yesterday morning at the services at
the First Congregational church. when DR..
A. +. Sheriff. and DR.. +. 4. warfield, the
only two OF the former pastors OF the
church living. spoke. The change that has
taken place in the congregation was shown
by the fact that only Ave persons stood
up when DR. Sheriff. called for those who
were present at the first service he held
in Omaha in October, 1869.
The addresses by the two former pastors
took the place OF the regular sermon. Dr.
II. c. Herring spoke briefly Of the past
Of the church and the outlook for the flu
ture. He was followed by Dr. Warheld.

to me as you people in Omaha. No church

He said the First Congregational church
had not become a large church because it
had helped other churches in the city and
the state and commended It for that policy
He called attention to the fact that It was
the first church in the first city Of the state
and much is expected of It,
The first sermon he preached in Omaha,
he said, was preached in the old Congrega-
tional church at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets in October, 1859. He spoke of a
number of the former workers in the church
by name and commended them for the
noble and untirinE efforts for the better
ment of the church. He also recalled the
dedication of the next church at Sixteenth
and Chicago streets. The Farnam street
site was sold in the winter of 1869 to j. l.
Redick for $500 and the site on Chicago
street purchased for $4,000. At the dedica-
ton this amount was raised and the church
started out free of debt.

AGED COUPLE in HARD LUCK
Man and wife from San Francisco
Cared for After Some
WanderinE.

An elderly man and his wife, refugees
from San Francisco, where they had lost
everything in the recent earthquake and
fire, reached Omaha Saturday night full of
sorrow and tribulaton The relief tents
had disappeared and the couple, being
strangers in the city, did not know where
to go. They finally wound up at the post
offiee and told their tale of woe to Watch
man shugart, and asked If they could not
put up there for the night. This, OF course,
being against the rule. Mr.. Shugart under
took to take up a small collection for them
70 relieve their immediate necessities and
succeeded in raising $3.50. After a while
word was finally gotten to the chairman
Of the Associated Charities and the couple
was sent to the Union hotel at the expense
of the association over Sunday, when their
wants will be looked after further.

PATIENCE WITH THE PEOPLE
Superstition Needs liberation Even More
Than Human Sins.
IGNORANT BELIEF A PRESENT MENACE
REV. Or. Mann DiscOurser on the Need
Of Patient Dealing with Those
who Have Not Yet seen
the Light.

In the course Of his discourse at Unity
church Sunday morning Rev. Newton NJ.
Mann said:
''Ir there is need to bear with the sons
Of men, there is At least equal need to bear
with their preiudces and their supersti-
lions. As the world has gone this has been
the more difficult application Of the virtue
to make. Strange to say, religion has gem
orally been more Of hindrance than q
help at this point. From the day the
Christian church laid its cruel hand on
Ilypatia to The massacre of st. BsrthOlo-
news day. bishops and priests could look
leuienuy enough upon vice, but had no
tolerance for what seemed to them to be
horesy. We can well understand from
what we see going on now that it must
always have been a. trial to persons Of
fairly sound sense 10 observe the vagaries
which certain class Of minds are forever
running into Il is not to be wondered
that in the ages when authority in religion
went for far more than it does now, there
should have been no disposition to bear
with eccentricltics of faith such AS are
springinK up unmolested in the modern
world. The patience of the most inoffen-
sve man among us is not little taxed
when compelled to listen to the super
stitious fancies, tho incredible nonsense,
which in many places passes for religion.
Superstition Not Easily UprOOted,
But, after all the superstitions of the
world are only other marks of human
frailty. marks which, If they have disap-
pcarcd from us. may appear again on our
children They are as thoroughly ingrained
as sin itself. aud come down to us as the
brands which ghosty Terror burnt into the
sous of our savage ancestry thousands
upon thousands of years ago. 1t needs to
be patient with our poor humanity bearing
the curse of this miserable heritage. We
long to see the world coming to it's spiritual
senses but that cannot be as yet; those
senses have been too long and too hope
lcssly muddled.
so there Is nothing for IL again but to
wait and hope and strive, with no great
eXpectatons-for better things. We cannot
turn the world over OF sudden and If
We could 1t would not be particularly i'm
proved the other side up The end we see
is far off, and we must content ourselves
with bringing slight increments to be slowly
built into the temple that is to be.
Hope for the improvement of mankind
has changed its ground Natures own slow
process Of growth is the one now chiefly
relied OH. We trust in nature and edu-
cation, rather than in conversion; in gem
eral progressive tendencies rather than in
any sudden upheaval; I'm a gradual evolu-
tion Of the kingdom Of heaven in the
hearts of men rather than in an external
kingdom heralded by the coming of. the
King in the clouds OF heaven with power
ana great glory"

GOD WILL ANSWER Qua PRAYERS
REV. }. r. HummOn ON the Belief In
supplicatiOn.

Rev. ,. Y. Hum mon I'm the heitei W
supplicatiOn.
God Answering Prayer was the sub
ject Of Rev John F. Hummon's sermon at
Kountze Memorial church Sunday morning,
and his text from Matthew: Whatsoever
We shall ask IN prayer believing We shall
receive"
THE most precious things Of God are TO
be had for the asking" said Mr.. Hummon.
I'VE approach our human friends with
timidity when we have something to ask
Of them for we are never quite sure
whether or not they will look with favor
upon our requests. Man is chhngeable-
a creature Of moods We go to him, and in
a certain mood he will refuse us a. favor
which in another mood and at another time
he would gladly grant. 1t is not so with
God He is Interchangeable. always kind
and always ready to grant what We ask
in prayer. believing.
THE condition to the answering of prayer
is belief. Faith is the arm which reaches
out 10 God. II is faith which moves man
to prayer and God to answer prayer We
should pray for nothing in which we do
not expect an answer to our prayers and
we have no right to ask God for anything
we do not expect We should have some
thing definite in view and should pray ex-
pectantly. A farmer was told that God
would answer prayer and he proceeded TO
test the statement He got down on his
knees and prayed long and with great
fervor. asking God to move a stack of hay
into the barn that night. Then he went
to bed and slept soundly. In the morn
ing when he awakened the first thing he
did was 10 go to the window and look out
at that stack of hay. 1t was where it
stood the night before. There, just as 1
expected he exclaimed. Too many people
are like that farmer, praying for things
they don't expect, and which will not be
given to them.
Gods power and willingness to answer
prayer is unlimited. His promise does not
limit the field of the asking. Whether
spiritual or material the things you ask
for, God hears the petition and will re-
member it, in due time answering 1t. All
we have 20 do is to have faith in His
willingness and ability, faith in our own
attitude and expectancy of results"
