GOSSIP OF THE POLITICIANS
Campaign Proves Lucrative to Some People,
Especially Uncle Sam,
GREAT AMOUNT OF sIAMPs USED

Many Clerks and Sending out
Volumes OF Circulars and
other Things,

The campaign is proving highly lucrative
to a number OF Industrious persons and in
- perfectly legitimate way. 1t Is clear the
biggest gamer OF all, however, will be the
postal department OF the government, It
being estimated that somewhere between
5000 and $4,000 will be expended on, stamps
10 carry political literature through the
mails.
Anticipating the fashion of this kind OF
an appeal at least two establishments have
been opened for the purpose OF supplying
classified lists OF addressed envelopes for
the use OF candidates. Provision is made
FOR envelopes supplies for all parties and all
wards and precincts and a candidate may
buy many as few as he chooses: For
additional compensation stamps will be af-
liked and the manual labor and mailing at
tended to. Even the. preparation of this
printed matter will be attended to IL paid
for The addresses are taken from the last
registration lists An inspection of these
bureaus makes II look as thought a corner
had been secured on the envelope market.
Young women and boys are employed to
do the clerical work and many an honest
penny is being turned in this wise. One of
the bureaus has already prepared eight
complete sets Of addressed envelopes for
every registered voter.
1t is now apparent that most Of the
documentary matter Is being saved for dis
tributiOn few days before the primaries.
Then there promises TO be let loose on the
helpless public such an avalanche of
adrotly worded appeals and counter APP
peals not to speak of attacks and roor-
backs, such as the citizens OF Omaha have
never known before. The indications are
that every house in town will receive
enough printed matter to light the Ares,
cover the pantry shelves and line the car

ActIon First Tnken.

When the annual meeting OF the Wood
men was held at Chattanooga last year
the executive council was directed TO move
the headquarters from Omaha If the courts
decided the reserve fund should be taxed
When the attorneys Of the order heard the
decision in the Highlander case was to go
against them it was decided to call the
council together that all might understand
the situation. The council has been in
Omaha for a week hearing from delegations
from other states and also from Omaha
and the final decision seems to be that
Omaha is just as good place as any and
that Nebraska viii treat the Woodmen just
as fairly as it would any other order.
AS the committee on securing a new
location is not to report back until May
and the new tax will be levied April /,
all question Of present removal of the
headquarters is done away with. Sovereign
Commander Root expressed the determina-
ton last week TO be out of Nebraska pack
and package before April !, in order to
escape the imposition of the tax of 81, 900
on the reserve fund, but the council has
decided on a more deliberate course.

to me that he had served the Doctor
with ginger ale, pop, settler water, milk
and plain water in one afternoon.

Swiss wine contains small percentage
of alcohol, but it is claimed the the

conversation that | had with one of
Dowie's advisory physicians he told me
that the Doctor was suffering from
Bright's disease Of the kidneys, and
that the dropsical swelling were far up
on the body? The last time bowie at

carried IN by two giant negroes. He
spoke in faint weak voice moment

one side and he was asleep or uncons.

gluttony OF the eight people who
composed DOwie's "around the world

| was the only one who completed the
circuit OF the globe without sea or
other sickness On the ocean, DOwie
ate rayenously, but Excel ate only
what his body required and then he
stopped. Being vegetarian, he lived
chiefly on grain, nuts, fruits and le-
gumes. But of him. Dowie said, Il
don't like To have Excel to dinner
with me. lie don't cat. He only
picks here and there" Vet Excel is
big man, keeps himself IN fine condi.
ton, and does a lot Of wearisome work
An enlarged abdomen is a token Of
gluttony, and DOwie's grew larger and
larger At last he had specially de.
signed preaching robes made, which
partly hid this unsiEhtly defOrmity.
His meals were often from seven to
ten courses and frequently the family
would remain at the table two or
three hours at a time. Thirty pounds
of the choicest chocolate creams were
ordered for the family at a time.
Everything else was in proportion, Up
till last fall, the man who daily visit
ed the fresh food markets Of Chicago
to purchase supplies for the Zion City
stores never dared take his train un-
Til furnished with a list of the foods
wanted by Dowie the next day. On
train | sat beside the buyer, who
showed me list, saying, This makes
me sick. These people (DowIe's) are
making gods OF their bellies There
was nothing bad on the list, but 50
many things OF the most expensive va
rieties, Yet so much overeating at
home was not enough. Dowie had
private kitchen and pantry fitted up
in the administration building behind
his offices and maid in constant at
tention to serve him with lunches at
any hour of the day or night.
