Due, in a large measure, to the new

years before becoming eligible to take

Halls last night at ~ o'clock closed
hts books. 2.4os persons having paid
their poll tax. an increase Of 44s over
the figures of last year.
Mr.. Haifs's announced bargain sale
was great success Throughout the
day the once was thronged with those
desiring to pay their pon tax. In all
there were SAL citizens, who paid yes
terday. Not only did those who owed
for but the coming primaries pay. but
those who owed back taxes to an
amount Of $40 Joined the line and
cheerfully surrendered their money and
obtained their qualification. tit was es-
timated that there were at least nifty
persons who paid as much as $40 TO be
qualified, and about 125 who ranged
from 90 to $40 IN their back debts.
According to custom, Julian A. Rice,
who has for many years been the last
name on receipt to be Issued before
the hour struck, again obtained the
last receipt.
It is estimated that there will be
primaries. OF this number there will
be $50 young men who can vote. but
who are not liable this year for the tax;
between $50 and 200 names who are
exempted from the payment of the tax
on account Of being in the military. and
the rest those who have passed the
stage during which poll tax need be

An interesting item In the Collectors
office Is that all of the receipt books
supplied by the authorities at the Capt.

almost on Friday night. 1t was. there

for receipts. and even of these the
supply almost went short at the clos

Prattville. Feb. Especially Last
night about o'clock. what appears to
have been spent cyclone. struck
Prattville. with considerable force.
That peculiar roaring OF the wind
which always accompanies a cyclone
was heard. The vivid lightning and
low murmuming thunder was heard. In
almost an instant IL swooped down on
the town and took trees, many that had
been standing for sixty to one hundred
years. There is not street In Pratt.
VILE but has one or more trees blown
down this morning. Fences and small
houses were blown to the ground, chim-
neys were blown OF, and several
houses were wrenched from their pill
lars.
News from the country is meager.
and no damage Is reported save the
blowing down of fences and many
trees along the path of the storm.
The Prattville Academy was dam
aged more than any other building In
Prattville. The TALL chimneys for the
heating apparatus were blown down,
striking the roof of slate and crush
ing through. crushing furniture In the
school room below. The amount Of
the damage has not been estimated.
but it will not be less than $500
or $500. ri
There will be no school for two or
three days. perhaps, next week. and
until these damages are repaired.
There is no way of heating the build
ing till the damage is repaired.
The Chairman of the Board OF Trus-
tees ordered the work to begin Mon
day and 1t will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
This is the most destructive storm
passing over this town since 1859. At
that time there was a similar wind
storm which did much damage to dwell
ling houses and some damage to the
Academy building. The damage to the
Academy building is greater this time
than 1t was in 1862. although the resi-
dence part of the town is not damaged
SO much this time.
The special train carrying people to
Montgomery to witness the Ben Hur''
performance was delayed in It's return
last night about three hours on account
of the wires being down and no orders
to be had for runping this train.

Now that the most modish of the young
women in the fashion plates have come
to resemble the youthful and detected
'Arriets that Phil May used to draw the
girl built on the short, square plan of the
chance for her to look her best in the
gowns of the day. The sweeping, long
lines Of the Empire dresses, the short
walsted Jackets, the dropping plumes on
the broad hats-all these are not of a
nature to show off the best points of the
girl who weighs 1872 and stands only five
feet one inch in her silk stockings.

Mrs. T. R. Ward of 212l Writ street and
Mrs. S. A. Lewis Of Fifty-first and Jackson

bread-baking contest which will be one of
the big features Of the fourth annual Pure
Food show which opens at the Auditorium
Wednesday evening and continues for ten
days. The bread baking contest will be de-
cided on Tuesday, November 10. and 1t is
expected thai at lsasJ 100 loaves OF bread
will be entered by Omaha housewives
There will be three prizes Of SIS, SIS

In addition to the baking contest. there
will be numerous sources OF amusement

tempt the high. pointed collar. for that
serves to accentuate the long line of her
chin. The hair should be pulled a great
deal at the sides of the head so as to make
the chin appear less broad.
The woman of the wedge shaped face in
variably has the unhappy faculty Of wear
ing her hair over her ears, and so gives
an impression of an extremely elongated
chin. By arranging her hair close to the
side of her head, only slightly ''bouffant,"
and putting it in a low coil on the top a
truly pretty effect can be got.
The girl whose eyes are set too high
should pompadour her hair. Even il the
part is more fashionable she should leave
that mode to the woman whose eyes are
set too low. This style is becoming to
the latter, and she should let the hair come
low on the temples and brow.
There is nothing funnier than the woman

What An Eminent Medical Man Says
Dyspepsia Really Is. Then
Gain Hope.

This affection, called Dyspepsia, is the
greatest torment OF civilized life, and Is
to be considered rather as an unnatural
functional difficulty han as a structural
disease"
The same authority has classified dys-
pepsia thus: The first form due to rels-
tions with other organs which are in a
morbid and unhealthy state, which is
characterized as a reflex action. OF such
a type is the nausea and vomiting caused
by irritation OF brain. lungs, liver or
uterus.
The second form is caused by scanty
supply of gastric juice, made evident by
slowness Of digestion, long retention of
food In the stomach, distress for a long
time after meals. accompanied by weigthy
and uneasy feelings at pit Of stomach,
decomposition of food In alimentary ca
nal causing fetid and foul gases and the
appearance Of ~undigested food In the
excavations from the bowels.
The third and last form OF dyspepsia,
according TO this renowned medical light,
is that which accompanies some abnormal
quality OF the gastric juice, combined
with a partial paralysis OF the stonach's
muscles so that this organ cannot suffi-
GENTLY mix the food with the digestive
fluids.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will remedy
each condition OF a stomach afflicted
with dyspepsia as above described.
These tablets contain digestive agents
which act with or without the aid OF
the stomach. One grain OF an ingredient
used in these tablets will digest 5000
grains of food. and If necessary will do

TO try to persuade any fat woman into the
belief that she looked well in a short
wasted empire gown with a broad brim-
med hat.
"As those are indispensable features OF
the new styles of this year. how can a
young girl be smart and yet ignore them?
I'll tell you. She can become tailor made
and have a distinction of appearance and
a chic which all the empire clothes in town
would not give her"
Among the dainty articles for the tailor
made woman are exquisite sheer linen
shirtwaists, not much embroidered, but
pleated and tucked finely. To these there
are attached attractive collars and rich
ties.
Put one of these beautiful waists on a
girl" she said. holding up one that showed
a myriad of fine tucks and was finished
with a fine ruffle down the front, land it
makes no difference how fat she is; she
is going 10 nave a certain cachet that even
the smartest OF the empire styles cannot
excel. Then dress her so far as the out
side clothing goes with a very strictly
tailor-msde coat and skirt.
THE utmost sacrifice to chiffon that l
allow is a black satin belt. AS these tailor
made compromises with the mode are in
tended only for stout girls. allow no stiff
hard finish cloths to be used. Nor must
anything with a very rough surface be en-
ployed. since It tends to give also the i'm
preston OF size.
Dark colors sre,o ( course, pest, and l
find the soft, solid color cassimeres most
becoming.
81 insist ON the tailor-made idea even to
the hats. Nothing is prettier to go with
such a suit than one of the silk beaver
alpines that the men are now wearing in
the country. They come from Vienna,
have a long nap and are made in green.
black and brown. They are not worn plain
by women, but with a wing or another
kind OF feather ornament.
$50 the fat girl need not worry about
being out of style. If she will consent to
become tailor made rather than take to
the present fashions she can have the
satisfaction of looking more distinguished in
her own way than half the women who
slavishly copy what makes them look their
worst"
