RECORD OF E. 3. oUACKENBUSH
What He Did for the Terminal Tax
Bill During Last Session of
Legislature.

During the last legislative session, at the
request of Mr., w. G. IRE. for the Omaha
Real Estate exchange, together with Mr..
Victor Rosewater and Mr.. IRE, the writer
attended all sessions at which the terminal
tax bill was under consideration.
As is we'll known, the terminal tax bill
was in grave danger during its entire
course. While 1t was passed on final roll
call with a margin Of five votes, on the
preceding crucial ballots It passed by the
narrow margin of but two votes.
Mr.. e. b. Quackenbush, an attorney of
Auburn, Neb., now a candidate for the
democratic nomination for attorney general.
was then a member of the legislature. The
friends of the terminal tax bill appealed for
aid TO Mr.. Quackenbush, as one of the
most Influential members of the house.
After careful consideration, Mr.. Quacken-
bush gave the bill his earnest support, and
in so doing carried with him several of his
democratic colleagues. thereby contributing
the balance Of power necessary to carry
the bill to it's passage.
There is absolutely no question but that
every voter in Omaha, South Omahu and.
in fact, in every city and town in the state,
owes to Mr.. Q-uackenbush consideration for
his splendid efforts in behalf of the term
inal taxation bill.
Mr., Quackenbush is a man of the highest
integrity and Of exceptional legal ability.

RARE CASE OF PARALYSIS
Philadelphia Man suffers from Eff
fects of Inhaled Cigarette
Smoke,

In the strange seizure Of Alvah Mac
Creary. a well known real estate broker,
with offices in the Penn Square building,
who was stricken with what appeared to
be a form of paralysis While inhaling the
fumes of a cigarette on June %, physi-
clans believe they are confronted with a
case unique in medical history. .,
Owing to the desire of Mr.. McCreary's
family to avoid publicity, news of the
real estate mans remarkable seizure has
been kept secret until the present time.
For a long time he lowered on the brink
of the grave. but yesterday had so far
recovered that he was able to take an
automobile ride.
Mr.. McCreary, who, It is said, had
been a habitual cigarette smoker, was
residing with his wife at the home OF
DR.. Mercer, at 1T6 Arch street. early
this summer. On the morning of June
% he arose early as was his custom, and
lighted a cigarette. After inhaling the
fumes of the cigarette he felt weak, and
dizzy, and went over ana lay down on
the bed again.
Ten minutes later, when he tried to
arise, he found himself unable to move.
Surprising that he had suffered a sudden
stroke of paralysis, Mr.. McCreary called
to his wife, who summoned DR.. Mercer.
The doctor found. upon examination, that
Mr.. McCreary was suffering from some
strange malady which. although he was
not paralyzed in the ordinary sense in
any part of the body and his mental
faculties remained perfectly clear, pre-
vented him from moving.
Investigation on the part of the special
lists who were called in disclosed the fact
that a blood clot had formed at the base
of the brain. The result of this clot
formation was to prevent Mr.. McCreary
from moving for weeks. and the only
cause for It that the physicians have
been able to discover was the action Of
the fumes OF the cigarette.
For sveral weeks application Of mus
tard plasters to the feet and other meas
ures to reduce the size of the clot proved
Intellectual. An operation was then de-
cided upon, and proved successful.
Strict Instructions were given by the
doctors 10 the two trained nurses who
watched over Mr.. McCreary during the
long period of convalescence that under
no circumstances must he be permitted
to smoke a cigarette. as II he did a re-
currence of the blood clot was probable.
DR.. Mills told members of the Mac
Creary family that in all his experience
he never knew Of a parallel case .-PhiIadel-

AutomObiIe s%ensation searOn Is ON.

Automobile Sensation season is On.
Announcements Of 1909 models, prices and
plans are almost a daily occurrence now,
and with the cannon Of these announce
ments booming on every side the general
public is sitting up and taking an awful
lot OF notice.
One is impressed with the heralded won
der of some heretofore unheard-of prop
0sition that is to revolutionize the au-
tomobile industry. Another, with new pol
icy or models OF some of the old standard
makers, the latter appealing more strongly
TO the old guards who have learned that
there are disadvantages in being the first
to try out any new principle and generally
INvait a seasons results of any new prop
,sition before they seriously consider It..
There is a slight tendency this year on
the part Of the old standard concerns to
follow the lead of some of the foreign
makers In manufacturing several sizes,
smbodying the same principles. material.
design, etc, except as to power and size,
at proportionate prices in machines of
graded sizes.
There is no question but what the need
Of such'a policy has long been felt. One
would often hear the remark, II like such
and such a car very much, in fact the
pest OF any on the MARKET II Is a peach,
but it is too large for my purpose" While,
on the other hand. another would say, IF
] could only get / touring car as good as
my little runabout l would be satisfied"
Now, it certainly looks as though the
manufacturer who has built a successful,
popular car and now brings out several
sizes and styles of the same at proportion
ate prices Is going to get in right. That
this is a popular idea IL shown by a few
Of the old stsndar makers announcements
In this direction for 1909.
One of the most impressive of these an
nouncements seems to be that of the stod-
dard-Dayton people. who have recently an
nounced three different sizes Of IS, IS and
70 horsepower. ranging In size from the
mall runabout up through the roadster
and toy tonneau designs to the big seven
passenger touring car, each different size
being made exactly the same as its big
brother or little sister, except all parts
are proportioned for that particular size.
The best foreign makers, such as the
Renault, Fiat, Mercedes and many others.
have followed this practice for years. but
II seems to have remained for the Stod-
dard-Dayton to set the pace in this coun-
try, and it is believed il will meet with
popular approval.

The Country Editor.

If conscientious effort and merit
mean anything, there is no good rea-
son why the country editor should
not expect to wear a golden crown
and a diamond-studded harp in the
good world to come. His sphere is
surely one in which his usefulness is
limited only by his ability to work.
1t may be a debatable question wheth-
ier the average editor of a small town
paper does more for the town than
he town does for the editor. 1t may
be true that one of the greatest sins
that can be laid at his door is that of
p~overty-not poverty of brain but Of
pocket. He may labor for the enlight-
eminent of an unappreciative people,
but is there not compensation in
knowing that a duty is faithfully per-
formed? His efforts to boom the town
may not always meet with an encour-
aging response in the way of good
advertising patronage from the local
business interests. His work of
showing up his town as a live and
progressive place sometimes falls fiat
because of a lack of good snappy ad-
vertising of the stores. There are few
things that are a better criterion of
the life of a place than the advertising
pages of the local paper. By it a
stranger is impressed either favorably
or otherwise. If the paper is bright,
newsy, well filled with advertising,
there are in it indications that the town
is progressive, the merchants prosper
Gus, and that the people are of the
class that make excellent neighbors.
On the other hand, if there are only a
few lines of local news, half a dozen
small cards and announcements, and a
few large advertisements of depart
ment stores and mail order houses In
other cities, the impression is given
to the reader that the town is a good
place to steer clear of, and not the
kind of place where one would ARE
to build a home. D. M. CARR.

TradA at Home.

Patronage Of the big mail order
houses is founded largely on ignorance
and shortsightedness. In one way 1t
is akin to patronage of the get-rich-
quick schemes. The buyer believes he
is getting something for his money
that is really not given, and fails to
realize either where his money goes or
what he gets for 1t.
No one would think Of t%elephoning
to a furniture store and asking the
dealer to send up a dozen diningroom
chairs without having seer the goods
or Of ordering a dress or pair of
shoes, or a stove, in this way. Yet
that is practically what the patron of
the mail order house does. He orders
by mail without having seen the goods
or having any idea Of their D @
ance or character. He is taking a long
chance. Two things on which he has
to base his conception of the articles
ordered is a description in the cata-
logue and the cut given there. In 9TH
er words, the attractiveness of the
offer made depends on the promises of
the firm and the e~ngraver's art. 1t is
possible to make a very creditable
cut from a flimsy and worthless mod
ell. 1t is possible to describe an atroc-
ity in a way that makes it appear most
desirable, Incidentally 1t seems to be
always possible to find some one who
will accept the promise and cut at
their face value, without properly
discounting them, and on the credi-
bility of these people, the mail order
business thrives. A little investigation
and comparison will convince the av-
erage person that his money will go
further and yield greater returns If in
vested right here in Haverhill, despite
the fictitious values offered by the
outside houses: But the articles sold
by the mail order houses must be com,
pared as they really are, and not a.
they are reported to be in the cats,.
