BILL ALLOWS TOO MUCH POWER
Immigration Measure 0bjectiOna hi e
TO Jews Because of Physical
Disability Clause.

c. S. Elgutter, who, on behalf of the In
dependent Order of B'nsi Birth, wired
Congressman Kennedy regarding the i'm
migration bill pending in congress, Wednes-
day morning explained his purpose by say
ing that an attempt was being made to
pass immigration laws which would work
an unjust hardship on many of the Russian
Jews wishing to settle In this country.
Mr.. Elgutter believes the expression
physical disability" in the bill allows the
immigration officers too much latitude in
this respect ard some liberal Interpretation
should be allowed for some cases.
ut is proposed to raise the minimum
funds an immigrant shall have to a figure
that would work a hardship on many Rus
sian jew immigrants who have to dispose
of their chattels under pressing circum-
stances" Mr.. Elgutter said.
Mr.. Elgutter has been assured by Con-
gresham Kennedy that every effort will
be made to have the bill modified so as TO
make 1t less stringent,

is an international organization for the
welfare of the Jewish race. .,

HOME OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
New and Larger Quarters Essential,
Says VIII Yetter of the Ex-
ecutive Committee.

The matter OF getting now and larger
quarters for the Commercial club is one
among others which viii be pushed by
VIII l.. Yetter, new chairman of the execu-
tive committee OF the club
I'VE are forced to get into larger quar-
tiers this year, and the sooner arrange
ments can be made the more satisfactory
II will be to the club" said Mr.. Yetter.
''If we do not take rooms In the Brandeis
building we must find some other place
lot very far from the retail center II
we cannot find one floor which is large
enough, we may find two floors which can
be utilized"
The owners of the Brandeis store want
the club to lease the top floor OF the old
building, but the club desires part OF the
top floor of the new building. As plans
, have already been completed for that floor
without regard to the requirements of the
club, the matter requires much consid-
Grafton. The architect Is now going over
the plans TO see how much additional ex-
pense would be occasioned by changing the
arrangement of the top floor to accom-
modate the Commercial club and the Grain
exchange.

NAMES AND BEAUTY ALIKE
Points of Similarity that Confuse One
Frank Currte with the
other.

well, there's nothing like fame, any
way" observed Frank Currie Of Gordon In
the midst of a party OF friends at the
Merchants. who were Joking him about al
ways being taken for another man.
"Currie" remarked Beach Taylor, has
lived in Nebraska ever since the finishing
touches of civilization were put on Mime
sofa. He took a lively hand in that, you
know, having been the first white man to
run hotel in the North Star state. His
was at Brainerd. Well, Frank came on
to Nebraska and began HE work of civil
ization here. Here he has been ever since
and he ought to be one of the best known
men In the state. But now he comes to
Omaha, registers as Frank Currie, Gordon,
and some little daily sheet puts him down
as Senator Frank NJ. Currie of Gordon"
most OF the time making II Broken Bow.
That's all right" put in the irrepressi-
BILE Frank" but II you haven't got any
Identity OF your own there's nothing like
having good name so you will be mis-
taken for a good man."
Frank Currie of Gordon served in the
last two sessions OF the legislature as a
house member from the Fifty-thrd district,
his home then being at Crawford In the
winter and Chadron in the summer. But in
the last yeas he moved to Gordon and was
unable 10 be forced back into the legis-
| lature.
Frank NJ. Currie of Broken Bow was al
one time a member OF the state senate and
has been a candidate for the United States
senate. The most striking points OF SINH.
larity between the two men. aside from
their names, are their matchless beauty
and genial dispositions.

VIII Remain Same.

Charles II. Guiou, for the last thirty years
a partner in the lumber business with
Frank Coiretzer, has sold his interest to Mr.
Colpetzer and will retire from active busl-
ness. In 1875 the firm OF Colpetzer & Gulou

pa making thirty years Mr.. Colpetzer
anu Mr.. Guiou have been engaged In bus-
ness together Both point with pride to
their long association during which 1t is
said they have had no dsagreements what
ever. Mr.. Colpetzer said II took just half
an hours conversation to form an agree
ment for dissolution, he buying Mr. Guiou' 8
, stock.
The Chicago Lumber company will be
reorganized and Mosher Colpetzer will be
made treasurer and will take charge of the
city branch of the business. Mosher Col
PETER becomes large holder of stock of
the Chicago Lumber company.
Mr.. Guiou will make three months trip
through the south, after which he will re-
turn to Omaha and enjoy life, play golf
and look after his other business inter-
ests, which do rot take so much of his

While Mr. Colpetzer would not say what
the share of Mr.. Guiou was that he bought,
1t is understood he paid Sl75oC0 for the
others interest. 1t is also understood he
has given his son, Mosher, shares to the
value Of 100000. 1t is stated no change
will be made in the policy OF the company.

WATER MAKES A GARDEN SPOT
Irrigation in North Platte, Expert
Says, VIII Make That Great
Country.

f. H. Haynes Of Fort Collins, Colo, an
irrigation expert and connected with the
building of the big government ditch In
Scott's Bluff county, was a guest at the
Murray hotel Tuesday.
"I think the future of irrigation In the
North Platte country is not adequately
comprehended by you Nebraska people"
said Mr. Haynes. THE government irri-
CATION work up there is going to result in
the development of one of the richest ter
ritories in the whole west. I speak from
practical experience in irrigation work
that has already been done in the vicinity
of Fort Collins and Greeley, Colo. Irri-
gated lands are now selling there for 500
per acre and far better lands exist in
SCOTS Bluff. county, and that are more
easily irrigated than a vast amount of
lands now under ditch in the vicinity OF
Fort Collins and Greeley. The Pathfinder
dam nov building west of Casper and the
network OF government irrigation bitches
to be built down the North Platte valley
into western Nebraska will make the
North Platte country the garden spot OF
the state and a very formidable competi-
tor with the much Wanted garden sections
OF Colorado"

THE VALUE on CHARCOAL

Preserving Health and Beauty.
COSTA T. AIRY.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efiicient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize Its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purposes,
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you

ALL but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out Of the sys-

Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
Ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectualy clears and improves
the complexion. II whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and emlnently
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which col
iect in the stomach and bowels; IL disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
nr another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed OF
the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or rather in the form of large, pleasant

with honey.
