French Car at Omaha

Il 1GllIll Val al OkklsAtAeA
French car No. 1. driven by
ISt. Chaffrey, arrived in Mis-
souri, Valley last evening about
z o'clock and after taking sup
per at the Douglas Cafe ard
having their gasoline tank re-
filled, they proceeded on their
way to Omaha about 9 o'clock.
There were four in the party
consisting of st. Chaffrey, two
mechanics and a piolot, Mr..
Russell, of the Kimball Auto
mobile company ofm ;l;. who
caught the car at Logan. Mr..
Russell stated there were
about fifty automobiles waiting
for them at Crescent City,
among which was a French
delegation from Omaha, who
were on the committee to well
come their countrymen.
The De Dion car has had
rather hard luck in crossing
Iowa but St. Chaffrey is of the
opinion that he will make good
time from now on, as the roads
are in much better condition
and his car is in good condition
for the trip. The De Dion car
is a thirty horse machine and
built for speed and durability.
The car was not as large as
many expected to see. st.
Chaffrey is a typical French
man and does not speak the
American language but his two
companions can speak enough
of our language to make them
selves understood.
The car was Put in Robinson's
barn while here and the door
hal to be guarded from the ex-
tremely curious ones who
gathered to see the French
party come IN. This race is
creating intense interest all
over the United States and all
the cars receive their share of
attention in the various towns
and villages through which
they pass.
II. M. Cramer assisted the
party out of town and put them
on the right road to Council
Bluffs but did not accompany
them any distance.
From the morning papers we
notice that the car reached
Council Bluffs about 2::30 this
morning, after rather a hard
time. They were stuck in the
mud at Honey Creek for two
hours, which did not improve
the tempers of the party.
A protest has been filed
against The American car on
account of their having put in
a new engine at Buffalo and
at Chicago. st Chaffrey stated
through his interpreter last
evening that it is his opinion
that the American car will
never leave the United States
for the finish of the race on ac-
count Of various irregularities
along the line which will dis
bar.

sick and hence the trip.
Nature has instilled in man
an appetite for the stimulant.
Since the beginning Of time
man has used some kind of
stimulating beverage. Today
we use coffee, tea, beer and ar
dent spirits. From every stand
point there is no denying the
fact that pure beer is the most
desirable of all. 1t is the only
beverage that has food value
and contains such a small
amount of alcohol as to make it
helpful instead of dangerous to
the human system. Thinking
people are beginning to advc-
cate more liberal laws govern
ing the sale of beer as1 being
the only solution of the temper
ance question. Good beer
(Storz Blue Ribbon Beer) is q
better stimulating beverage
than tea or coffee. Its moder.
ate use will assist instead OF
hindering you in building up {
robust constitution.

Nonpareil, March 15.-After
being out less than two hours.
a jury in federal court at 4::50
o'clock yesterday afternoon re-
turned a verdict for $1,000 in
favor of Mary E. Hammond
against M. ]. Fitzgibbon, j. N.
Fitzgibbon, the American
Surety company and the North
American Surety company.
Mrs. Hammond sued the de-
PENDANT named above and also
George j. Gumb for $4,000 for
the death of her husband, who
while in an intoxicated condi-
tion was run over and killed by
a railroad train near Missouri
Valley. Gumb and the two
Fitzgibbons were the saloon
keepers who Mrs. Hammond
claimed had sold the liquor 10
her husband. The two surety
companies were signers of Il c
saloonkeepers' bonds.
The case as to Gumb was dis
missed yesterday by agreeme ns
of both sides, there being 10
evidence that he had sold liquor
to Harmon. This action left
the four defendants against
whom the verdict was returned.
The members of the jury, it
is stated, were agreed as soon
as they left the court room, in
favor of a verdict for the plain
tiff, but argued for a short
time over the amount that
should be awarded.

/, tee of the General Federation of Wo-
mems clubs for the best essay on the
subject. 1t Is hoped the clubs of each
town in the state will offer a small
prize for the best thesis on the sub
ject written by high school pupil,
the winning manuscript to compete
for the general state prize. At the
Second district federation meeting
held at Weiser last fall the various
clubs of this district agreed to offer
such prize and the pupils of Pay
cite, Mountainhome and Weiser are
already at work on the subject. 1t is
hoped that clubs of the first and
third district will take up the work
and offer similar prizes that the COM
petition may be a state one. The COM
peting manuscripts must be limited
to 1900 words and must reach Boise
by May Is. A representative COM
mittee from the university and norm
al schools will be asked to judge the
essays sent in. Any club desiring
literature on the subject may secure
the same by writing to Mrs. e. j.
Dockery, Boise.
Mrs. Butterfield in a personal club
letter says MRS. Dockery, who is
member of the Civil Service Reform
committee of the G.. F. w. G.. has

state by offering cash prize of IS
for the best essay from high school
student in the state, on Civil Service
Reform. The local competition
should awaken a very deep interest
in a comparatively large number of
people, and awakened interest is
more than half the battle, but the
