DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Responds to Influence Of Settled
Spring Weather at kost FONTS
EASTER SALES ARE UNUSUALLY HEAVY
Many Dealers Underestimate Re
auirements and Urgent Demands
Are Made in JObbinR Houses
Demands for Iron and steel.

NEW YORK, March 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say:
Business has responded to the influence
of settled spring weather at most points
and proximity Of Easter has increased
sales of dry goods, millinery and footwear.
Many dealers had underestimate require
ments and urgent demands are made Oh
jObbing houses. Transportation Is more
satisfactory, but at many cities there are
still complaints that seasonable goods do
not come forward as specified. one OF the
best features is the steady Improvement IN
mercantile payments.
Congestion In the iron and steel industry
and hardness of deliveries we're accentu-
ated by the flood, which stopped production
at many plants In the Pittsburg district
for three days or more. A heavy tonnage
of southern iron has been taken from the
birmingham market, all at firm quotations.
A lull In the volume of new business Is
welcomed by the cotton mills, as pressure
for delivery had advanced prices 70 the
limit of safety, in the opinion of many
manufacturers. Large contracts were placed
at most profitable prices during the period
OF activity and the approach of Easter
has checked the efforts Of jobbers to ac-
cumulate stocks because the rush of store
trade will be over by the end of this month.
AS to woolens, the advancing season
brings out more business In mems wear,
( but few lines are fully taken. Dress goods
are in satisfactory condition.
Footwear factories I'm New England re-
! ceive supplementary orders for seasonablc
| goods, chiefly from eastern wholesalers for
| shipment in May and June, but this class
| slowly
Some of the leading tanners have re-
NAMED out of the hide market 50 lolng
\ that most varieties have begun to accumu-
| late. Holdings of native hides are notably
| large and prices are correspondingly weak.
Packer branded hides are relatively hrmer.
Reshtpment of receipts indicates that the
Hamburg market is much firmer than New
/ York.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but a day Of toll should not
have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t,
then, you ask, that backache so often
follows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to overwork, to tear down
faster than nature can rebuild. An un-
natural strain is thrown upon the vital
organs, and more especially upon the
kidneys, which have the work of hlter-
ing the blood free of waste and poison.
The heavy tax of overwork, the
strain upon the back that Is so COM
mon to many trades and occupations,
is too great. The kidneys begin to fail
in their work, and there is a double
danger to health. The poisonous mat
ter collects in the system, and the kid
neys Themselves begin to break down.
Pain in the back is only a warning
of trouble in the kidneys. An inflam-
nation has set In, and a disOrdered
condition OF the urine soon becomes
apparent.
Too much or too little urine, with
a constant desire to void the secre-
lions; any noticeable deviation from
the normal color; the appearance of a
sandy sediment, proves a disordered
condition of the kidneys. that needs
quick attention.

- CORBETT AT THE KRUG
"The burglar nnd the Lady" Tells n
story and Gives Him
Good Chance.

James 7. Corbett exhibited his form
through the four acts OF the drama, 1.-THE
Burglar and the Lady" last night at the
Krug theater before a large sized audience.
Mr.. Corbett's fine physique is not his only
justification for appearing before the foot
lights, for he acquits himself as lover and
burglar in an acceptable manner.
The play was written especially for
Corbett, and as the name implies, is
on the Sherlock Holmes order. Corbett
takes the part Of Rahies, the burglar, and
makes love to Norma the bankers niece.
one dark and stormy night he breaks into
Norma's uncle's bank for the purpose OF
robbing t. and finds the uncle there for
the same purpose. They compromise and
share the plumber. From that point on
the play abounds in thrilling adventures
with sleuths, hairbreadth escapes and a
reckless discharge of firearms. RafHes
finally confesses his true character to his
lady love, but "she loves him." and on his
promise to reform forgives him. upon the
condition, however, that he return the dla-
mond necklace he stole from her, which
he does. He also keeps his promise and
reforms, marries the girl, and they go to
Europe TO begin life over.
Mr.. Corbett is supported by a strong

was removed from his chin Just recently.
So badly was he injured that he was only
roughly "sewed together" by the surgeons
and placed in a box. They thought he
could not possibly survive.
Il am sure have no recollection OF the
explosion" said Mr.. Thomas. "One moment
1 was sitting in the train and we were
gliding along on schedule time. The next
moment we had been converted into n
mass of splintered wreckage, with which
were mingled the still bodies of the dead
and the writing, groaning bodies of the
injured.
II was blown through the side of the
car and into a barbed wire fence forty
feet away. There l was found and roughly
sewed together They didn't expect me TO
recover. More than twenty pieces of glass
were removed from my person.
Strange as 1t may seem, l was con-
scious of what went on about me. l could

This was Thomas F. Mitchell's explana-
ton 10 Judge Crawford in police court Fri
day morning how he happened 10 be prose-
cuted on a charge Of embezzlement by
Thomas Brennan his employer. Mitchell
came 10 Omaha without a job or recon-
mendations and Brennan took a chance"
with him, giving him a position which
required him TO make collections. Then ne
found the display Of confidence had cost
him $50 and he had Mitchell arrested
Mitchell was very penitent and the judge
let him OF with thirty days in the county
fail.

Mrs. F. B. Kingsbury, of 1923 Dor
cas- st., Omaha, Neb., says: "Since Mr..
Kingsbury first used Doan's Kidney
Pills in the spring of 1899, he has
never been without them TO exceed a
few months at a time Prior to his
first appeal to Doan's Kidney Pills, he
had suffered from kidney trouble for
about two months. The complaint
gradually grew worse and worse, until
he had TO give up work. Doan's Kid
ney Pills took right hold in his case
and the pain in his back ceased and
the irregularity of the kidney secre-
lions was corrected. On a few occa-
sions since, evidences of these troubles
have returned and Doan's Kidney Pills
have never failed TO promptly check
them"

To be blown through the side OF a rapidly
moving train by the explosion Of a car Of
powder on an adjoining side track is an
experience through which few people live
to tell the tale. F. S. Thomas is one of
these rare individuals. Mr.. Thomas was
the conductor OF the train on the Big Four
road which was blown to pieces by the
explosion of a car of powder a few weeks
ago when over thirty people were killed
and but five saved. He spent Friday in
Omaha and called at The Bee Office TO see
an old friend, George Epperson. He did
not know that Mr.. Epperson had died two
years ago,
Mr.. Thomas bears the marks Of his ter
rible experience. The back of his head is

Every Omahan will recall with pleasure,
and probably with pride, the remembrance
Of Horse Show window achievements He
will remember how public interest was
keyed up prior TO the award Of prizes for
the best Horse Show windows, for which
Omahas leading stores entered into COM
petition with spirit. For three consecutive
years the Bennett company lifted the first
prize, and, Of course, set pace which
would keep even themselves humping con-
siderably to keep up.
From the impression given Bee reporter
derived from an early inside view of the
Bennett company's Easter window display
there can be no question but that the Ben
nett company have gone one better. The
show will open Saturday evening at 6
o'clock. barring accidents and delays which
which in these days of electrical science
arc liable TO happen without notice.
This latest achievement in window deco
rating is in the nature Of a panoramic dis
play of the wonders of America, and every
window on Harvey and 10th St. lends itself
wholly to the general elaboration. First
thing one sees from the street is large
water color picture, a perfect representa-
ton OF some world-renowned American
scene of natural or historic interest. The
Fails Of Niagara is given as observed from
below the whirlpool, Stars twinkle over
head. These are produced by electric bulbs
not larger than peas. The sublimity of the
Mountain OF the Holy Cross will be best
appreciated in its weird night effect, with
the great symbol of sacrifice cleft In tho
mountain peak so clearly observable. Or
again, there is Lookout Point, the Grand
Canon of the Colorado, the Clin House and
r. Nntr he
near the home of Garfield, the famous old
Apple Tree of Kentucky, etc. One of the
most striking OF the series is Rounding
Cape Horn, showing the danger to the mari
ner of getting too near. The ship is seen
to pitch and toss almost among the break
| ers while great flashes of lightning-lve
vivid and very real-break in over head
Aside from the panoramic picture display
| there is a decided Easter touch I'm the &C
compartments. Figures of beautiful women
made more beautiful by the exquisite
gowns, costumes, robes, embroideries, laces
lingerie and folderalls, are prominent. Each
one carries a charming piece OF millinery,
probably the. finest instance of millinery art
of which Omaha could boast. A guide book
| I'm the hand of the figure tempts one to a
peek over her shoulder. and there one can
read the subject of the picture in that par
ticular window Sprays of rich, green yuva
carnations, azellas, dainty Easter merchan-
dlse, fantastic festooning in delicate pink
ard thousands of incandescent lights give
evidence Of the tremendous task accom-
plished by the store decorator.
| In view Of the initial opening Saturday
evening at o'clock and the interest which

may succeed I'm securing an extra street
car service for the occasion.

Last Years High Record.

morrow win saw;

Spring trade Is at It's height and the turn
over bids fair TO exceed even last year s,
the stimuli being furnished by more ia
vorable weather, approach OF Easter and
the visits Of country merchants to the
larger centers. Improvement Is reflected
all around, even In the northwest, which
now appears to be getting back to normal
conditions, although collections are still
backward In North Dakota. At some points
In the west sales q dry goods on spring
account are fully 10 per cent above those
OF last year, while fall business thus far
placed Is also In excess Of that booked at
this time IN 1876. Collections tend TO i'm
prove, the southwest being conspicuous in
this respect, owing to the fact that country
merchants are discOunting bills. While the
car situation In the west has improved,
conditions IN the east are worse.

Nebraska Crowd VIII Not Consider
Consolidation Until the Douglas
Hunch Renders ITS Ffnan-
cIaI statement

The suggested consolidation Of the Ne
braska Humane society and Douglas
County Humane society failed to material
lie yesterday afternoon at an informal
meeting between some Of the directors Of
the first mentioned organization, Attorney
c. G. Mcdonald representing the Douglas
County society and several disinterested
persons.
Judges Sutton and Kennedy Of the ju-
venile court appeared with an olive branch,
primarily that the general cause Of humane
work might be placed on a harmonious
basis and that some representative OF
humane work might cooperate with the
juvenile court work Judge Sutton had
with him a list Of 2o4 names Of persons
said TO be members Of the Douglas County
Humane society and a letter from f. j.
Ellison, who offered to withdraw from his
society y such action would advance the
general cause Of humane work.
When asked II he was a director Of the
Douglas County Humane society, as re-
ported in the newspapers on authority of
Mr.. Ellison, Judge Sutton declared he was
not connected with the new society and
had sent Mr.. Ellison a letter saying he
would not consent to the use Of his name
IN such connection. The Judge referred
Rev. John williams, who asked the ques-
ton, 70 c. G. Mcdonald. who was present
and representing the interests Of Ellison's
society.
Answer Like Yankees.
Then as a preliminary negotiation for
O possible consolidation, Father williams
asked Mr.. Mcdonald If his society would
consent to render an itemized statement
Of moneys collected from the 204 persons
whose names appeared on the list pre-
scented by Judge Sutton. Mr.. Mcdonald
answered by asking Father Williams
whether the Nebraska society would con-
sent TO make a similar showing, to which
Father Williams replied by saying that
the books of his society were always
open for inspection. Further conversation
drew the rival societies away from the
point Of consolidating and the matter wa
dropped with the tacit understanding that
the two societies could not get together
Rev Mr.. Williams said his society was
opposed to assuming the moral and nnnn-
cial responsibilities assumed by che Doug
las County society without at least IN
ltemized statement of the finances of the
new society.
After the meeting Secretary Mann OF
the Nebraska Humane society said his so
ciety would proceed at once to carry on
the work Of the society as in former
years and now had a superintendent IN
view with prospects of engaging the per.
son in question within a week.
Secretary Mann presented at the meet.
Ing a telegram from Secretary of State
Junkin, who wired that no articles OF
Incorporation had been filed by the Doug.
las County Humane society.
