O. X. and Its Origin

THERE have been many theories advanced
i as to the origin Of the expression o. X.
Some of them have been partly correct, and
some have not. Over a century ago a great
deal Of the best rum and tobacco came from
Aux Cages, winch was pronounced o. r.,
and the best Of anything was said TO be o. X.
The meaning of this phrase is still retained,
and figures largely in the business world.
No doubt many have thought that o. *.
came from ION Korrect" During the cam
paign of General Jackson ms enemies did all
in their power 10 injure him IN the eyes OF the
people. Once he signed some papers and
wrote after his name, This is O. X" The
Democrats took up the phrase and SAID that
1t was an abbreviation Of the customary
Endorsement OF the General, as ''Oll korrect.
They put it on their banners and the meaning
" OH Korrect" stuck to the letters.

NIGHTINGALE HOME BURNS
Residence of Former Policeman f.
Almost Totally Destroyed
by Fire.

The home of ex-Polceman william A.
Nightingale, 1924 Ames avenue, was de-
stroyed by fire late Monday afternoon with
all the contents except such articles as
neighbors had time to recover. No one
was at home at the time and the flames
had gained good Roadway before discov-
cred. The location is far from water con-
nection and the fire department was caused
great delay in getting a stream on the
building. The loss on building and con-
tents is practically total, with $500 insur-
ance.
James r. Harrison, 1446 South Sixteenth
street was severely burned about the neck,
arms and hands by burning kerosene when
a fire started in his home Monday evening,
which he attempted to extinguish. He threw
a lighted match toward a can Of kerosene
and it blazed up. The loss was small.
About $50 worth OF damage, was done to
the warehouse of Farrell & Co.. 217-22l
South Eighth street. Monday evening by a
fire believed to have started from sparks
of a passing locomotive. The structure is
an old one and was not insured.

BRIDE QUITS oCToGENARIAN /
woman Gets Property ana Leaves
Husband Fifty-Thres Years
Her senior.

According 70 reports from Niobrara n
appears that when the aged Leonard
Weigand Of that place took unto himself
for wife 'Matty Douglas Of Oakland the
cards were stacked against Dan Cupid.
This marriage was performed in Omaha
not over a fortnight ago. and now II Is
heralded from that little town upon the
breezy frontier Of western Nebraska that
the bride Is gone and the venerable bene-
dict Is again alone. But that IL not all
the story. Il Is a story with a degree of
sameness to Il.
Leonard weigand is 50 years Of age:
Matty Douglas gave her age as 80. When
the couple went to Rev. c. w. savidge
to be married he objected to marrying
them because of the great disparity in their
ages. But the woman insisted and the
minister thought best to yield.
"rhe old man told me he was in San
Francisco when the earthquake wiped out
that city," said Rev. Mr.. savidge. land
he thought II he could survive a cataclysm
like that he was able to get married 1
told him I thought maybe It would have
been better II the Lord had called him
right of to heaven there and then"
But that sweet, ardent love which the
bride protested for her venerable Romeo
seems to have been early satated, for
the Niobrara report says she is with him
no more, and he is doing what he can
toward recovering title to certain property
which went to her as the result of an
agreement executed soon after their mar
riage.
The children Of the old gentleman are
said to be greatly incensed over this cpl
sode, in which they think their father was
imposed on. He had been travelling for
six or seven years and happened TO be in
San Francisco when the disaster happened
year ago. II seems he met the woman
there. The woman is unknown to any of
the old gentlemans family, as Is also the
exact amount Of his fortune which she was
successful in securing.

generally employed and yet so harmful,
in the long run, to most invalids when
its use is long continued, even in small
doses, cost DR.. Pierce several years OF
careful study and labor, with the aid Of
skilled pharmacists and chemists to
assist him. Naturally, he does not care
to give away his scientific and exact
processes for preparing these medicines,
but he does want to deal in the most
open manner with all his patrons and
patients, and under this frank, open and

ton is often asked concerning DR..

Lucrative stages of these affections, 10

The 0Favorite Prescription is advised
for the cure Of one class of diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is a powerful yet gen.
