OUTSIDE TRADE INCREASES
Merchants Excursions Brought Large
Numbers and Purchasers.
oNE.FIFTH GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
Retail Customers Come from Greater
Distances Than at Any Previ-
Gus Meeting co bay
Omaha Goods.

Spring merchants excursions to Omaha
closed Saturday, and l.. Bellman, secretary
Of the Jobbers and Manufacturers sssocia-
ton announces that the number coming
to Omaha 20 buy this spring exceeds the
number last year by % per cent.
Not only In numbers, but in the amounts
bought. the record shows an increase. The
plan of the Jobbers and Manufacturer
association makes It possible to tell almost
to a dollar what certain number of mer-
chants buy In Omaha, as they get 2 per
cent rebates and 1t is all handled by the
secretary OF the assocition.
Easter trade was good and a number will
be back in the market within a few days
to fill out lines. Some lines have been
slow in coming forward to jobbers and
many retailers bought with the idea of sup
plying the Easter trade and returning later
to get full summer lines. This will be the
order in many Instances.
Retailers came from further points than
ever before, the trade from wyoming and
Montana being especially heavy. A big
business was also received from South Da-
kota and along the new line of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul from Miles City to
Evarts, s. d.
Out along the line of the Northwestern
where the trade boosters went last year,
orders have been heavy and many OF the
merchants have visited the houses in per-
son. In the Big Horn basin new stores
have been opened and these merchants also
attended.
Announcements will be out within a short
time for the fall excursions, Indications
that the trade will be the heaviest in years
are already apparent.

Attempts Suicide
in Fiancee'S Home
John Arndt, a Benson Youth, Tries
to Kill Himself with a
Knife.

John Arndt, IS years of age, an employe
of a Benson grocery store, attempted to
kill himself Sunday evening at the home
of his fisncee, Miss Grace Barker, in Ben
son, by Jabbing himself in the breast with
a pen knife. While his injuries are severe,
they are not necessarily dangerous.
The attempt at suicide was made while
Miss Baker was temporarily absent from
the room assisting her mother in preparing
the evening meal. Arndt laid down on the
couch and, opening his collar and vest,
proceeded to cut.
DR.. Hall was summoned and attended to
the wounded man, and found that his in
juries are not liable to result seriously.

water Bond Question.

OMAHA, April 10.-To the Editor of The
Bee: In the Herald of April Z 1 notice a
letter from r. r. Howell replying to the
letter written by G.. w. Shields. In this
letter Mr.. Howell criticizes Shields for las
he puts IT. getting too explicit Information
as to the cost of needed extensions. Howell
hints that Shields may have gotten his in
formation from superintendent Hunt. but,
mark you, he does not say that Shields
figures are not correct. He only throws out
a slur as to where he got his formatio
Further on Howell says the income of the
water company Is about $500, 900. Does he
CHowelD also get this information from
Superintendent Hunt? II so, 1t Is likely to
be somewhere near correct. Or does he
CHowelD guess at this. as he has done be-
fore In his estimates given to the public.
Fist-For Instance, Mr.. Howell assured
the taxpayers of Omaha that the plant was
not worth more and could be acquired for
50, 10000 which must have been false, since
he is now advocating the purchase Of the
plant at $6,263,OO0
Second-Mr. Howell proclaimed from the
housetops that the water company was
fighting his compulsory purchase bill, which
was absolutely false. as they were helping
to push 1t along, and Howell knew II.
InlfQ-mr. Howell assured the public that
the water company would not appoint an
appraiser when the city appointed its APP
praiser and requested the water company
to appoint one to represent 1t. This was
also false, for the water company appointed
its appraiser Immediately after being re-
quested to do SO by the city.
Fourth-Mr. Howell told the taxpayers
that the water company would fight the
Issuing of the s6.5OO.OoO bonds to complete
the purchase, and he is still telling them
80. This, like all his other statements, is
false, as the water company has its hire
lings already boosting up sentiment favor
Ing the voting of these S. 90 bonds. Could
the bondholders of the Omaha Water com
pany have handled the whole deal any bet
ter for themselves than Mr.. Howell has
handled 1t for them? Has any action Of
his been for the benefit of the city? If IL
is true that the plant is worth Sc, 800, 900.
which he now wants us to vote, why are
the Water board lawyers paid to fight the
purchase. WILLIAM HAYS,

Fire to Finish
Mrs. Henry L. Gibbs Puts Out Flames
that Threatened to Destroy
Her Home.

Mrs. Henry l.. Gibbs was the heroine Of
a small fire incident that occurred at her
home at the northwest corner of Twenty
fifth and Reed streets early Monday morn
ing. With the aid of her husband, whose
place she insisted upon taking in combat
ing the flames, she put out a fire in the
second story Of their house before the fire

at $50 o'clock in some sacks of seed corn
that had been stored in the attic and was
to have been used this spring. About $50
damage was done, mostly to the house.

AFTER=EFFECTS
OF THE GRIP
A Severe Attack Left This
Camden Man Weak and
Nervous but He Is
Now Strong and
Rugged.

An attack of grip depletes the blood,
reduces the vitality and leaves the sys-
tenn in a rundown condition that is
almost sure to invite disease if not cor
rected.
1t is condition that calls emphatic
ally for tonic for the blood. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are tonic especially
adapted to meet this need. They enable
the blood to absorb oxygen, the great
sustainer Of organic life; they tone up
the nerves and give vigor, strength and
health to the debilitated system.
Mr.. r. M. Clark, painter and paper
hanger, of No. 3S Pearl street, Camden,
Me-, says:
"For nearly five months following an
attack of the grip was very sick. The
grip left me very weak and nervous and
| could scarcely walk across the room.
I had awful pains in my stomach, which
came ON as often as two or three times a
day. was unable to get much sleep and
lost at least twenty pounds in weight

started taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
| began to feel better inside of a week.
The pills commenced to build me up
and I took them until cured. have
been rugged and healthy since and have
worked hard"
The value Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in debility cases lies in their direct re-
spouse to the needs Of the blood. That
they do this well is shown by the grad
ual disappearance Of the symptoms and
ff nd
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
A helpful booklet Diseases Of the
Blood" giving more information about
the remedy will be sent free on request.
If you are suffering from impoverished
blood you cannot afford to wait another
day before giving DR.. Williams Pink
Pills thorough trial.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes, $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medi-
