STATEMENT FROM
An OMAHA MINER
Mine Prospector Says That
Their Is No "Hocus-POCus" About
These People.

You bet the Austro-Americsn doctors
are all right" said Mr.. F. L. Parks Of No.
1919 Harvey street, Omaha, in discussing
the results he has obtained with the new
doctors. 1T is a scientific treatment, and
not "hocus-pocus." as some Of the new
treatments we hear about. The results in
my case shows what It will do for troubles
like mine.
While out in Colorado doing prospect
ing, | got thoroughly soaked, caught cold
and that brought on rheumatism. know
now from what l have learned from the
Austro-American doctors that had a
very bad case OF liver and stomach
troubles. which made me susceptible to
rheumatism. Anyhow l got IL and got il
bad. ] was in such pain l could not sleep.
When l would sit down in a chair, 1 would
have to take a hold OF something before I
could get up. You see where It got me
worst was in the back. As soon as 1 got
home from Colorado 1 started to doctor.
but nothing reached the spot and | kept
on suffering day after day. My food
wouldn't digest and 1 suffered great pain
after eating. Finally 1 concluded to let
medicine alone and try something else. so
took twenty massage treatments with but
very little good. Then | hit onto the
Austro-American treatment, and I am sure
proud OF the results. Why, see how l can
get around now and he got out OF the
chair without any apparent effort and
walked across the room.
II have taken all kinds Of medicine for
the last ten years and this is the first 1
have ever found that was worth 2 cents.
l have suffered more or less for the last
ten years and have paid out one-fourth Of
what ] have made. l have no trouble with
my stomach now and my rheumatism is
all gone. The doctors told me that few
people realized how splendid their health
would be If only their stomachs were not
languid and enfeebled by years OF abuse.

twenty-five years and IL my acquaintance

The good the treatment has done my

He was in poor health. got we'll and he
wants everybody to know about 1t, and
consequently he doesn't hesitate to tell his
friends about the American doctors.
He is q prominent mine prospector, hav-

MISS MAGEE WANTS CLOTHES
City Mission Need Wearing Apparel
to Protect Its PrOteEes and Coal
to Heat the Room.

More clothing is needed at the City Mis-
sion. Food and clothing are always most
acceptable, but just now during this cold
snap an extra ovorcoat or so and some pairs
of Shoes would be greatly appreciated by
Miss Magee and others connected with the
work. The regular subscription fund is not
large enough to meet the many emergency
demands made on the mission.
Coal is another item which seems 10
bother the mission workers not a little,
The present home of the City Mission is a
barn OF a building and this severe spell OF
weather makes IT hard to heat. Still women
and children must be temporarily sheltered
there. though there is no proper room rol
them.
People hsve been generous In supplying
reading matter. Miss Magee says. They are
overrun with magazines. but il is clothing
they need the most.

CHANCE TO GET A HAT FREE
San Hun Has storm Trophy at His
ONCE I'm the Court
House,

Here is a chance to get a hat free.
Samuel Huff, custodian of the Douglas
county court house, has a storm trophy in
his possession, a woman's hat.
The said chapeau is black of color ana
has three plumes sticking in the crown
If women's hats have a crown. At immi-
nent risk of a stumble or being blown away
by the gale, Huff climbed upon the one
story annex of the court house and rescued
the hat therefrom. Three hatpins were
still sticking in ii. which Huff argues is
proof positive that it blew off some girls
head. There was a rat in 1t, too" said
Huff, but this was agile and escaped"
Judge Troup and other men who have
offices in the southern part OF the court
house glanced out of the window from
time to time and measured in their mind
eye the distance to the bottom of the deer
excavation for the new building. Then they
reckoned up their chances of escape II the
north wind blew the old building into the
yawning cavern. The big steel chimney
at the west end OF the building contributed
to the general disturbance, for the upper
end of 1t rotated around a circle, with a
~siX-foot radius and the guy wires swung
about like gigantic skipping ropes,

eIASTICUTUSES STILL STAND
Sandstone Dogs on City Hall Are
There, and Think of the
NiEht.

The city nall tower and the decrepit sand
stone dogs on the municipal building still
stand, despite the authoritative statement
made a couple of weeks ago that they
would be the first to go in the event Of a
high wind.
And Lneillius Brutus Johnson. president
of the city council, is consequently happy.
Mr.. Johnson voted against taking the
dogs down and said that they had stood
fourteen years and therefore could stand
another fourteen. The resolution TO bury
the dogs was carried over his head and the
president now delights in saying Il told
you so" to his fellow councilmen.

in starting the home trade excursion
movement.
The committee is headed by ]. F.. Hen

will take a party OF several hundred bust
pess men to the new building of the John

go along the wholesale district and con-
grstulate themselves and the wholesalers
on the development of a district which is
rapidly becoming a rival OF the retail dis
trict In beauty. cleanliness and its metro
politan appearance. Ninth street has been
cleaned up-from Douglas street to the
switch tracks about the Union station
and the new buildings make the district
one TO which visitors can he taken to get
an Impression OF Omaha which must be
favorable.
Then the visitors will go through the
new cracker factory of tho Item Biscuit
company and through the Fairmont Cream
cry company, both institutions being
among the large producers Of the city
which give Omaha its manufacturing fig
ures.

simply for a Jolly" but to bring the trav-

LOS ANGELES TRADE
BOOSTER HERE SECURING
DIRECT SHIP FREIGHT

Without any bells and working
modestly but assiduously, A. II. E.
Thompson, of Los Angeles, has been
several days in Honolulu as the ad.
vance agent of the trade that is to
come between Honolulu and Los An
geles, to be carried on vessels sailing
direct between this port and San Pedro.
Mr.. Thompson has started in very quiet
ly but he expects that there will be
enough heard about his trip when the
results begin to show themselves. 1t is
not like drummer, even the kind of
a magnified drummer that Mr.. Thomp.
SON is, to shun publicity. Neither is
it to be expected that Los Angeles
should send representative out for
trade without blare of trumpets. Both
things have happened, however, and
from what can be learned in a second
hand sort of way, Mr.. Thompson is
meeting with a success greater than he
had anticipated.
Somewhere on the heaving Pacific,
with her head pointed Honoluluwards
and her wake leading back to San
Pedro, sails the good bark Alden Besse,
bringing samples of what the Los An.
geles wholesalers and producers have
to offer Honolulu merchants. There are
ten tons of these samples. The bulk
of the Besse's cargo consists of one
hundred thousand friedrich. J. H. Wad-
ingham and j. ID. Samerson are with

right to exercise, whether they are
agents of the planters or otherwise.
Whether the demand for higher
wages is proper or not, whether the
planters are right or the laborers are
right, or both are part right and part
wrong, one thing is certain, that any
agitation not only deserves to fail but
also deserves punishment when conduct
ed along the lines adopted by Mr.. Ma
kino and his associates. 1t is not his
fault that dirty row has not been
raised throughout the islands before
now. The sooner he learns that all
men, including his business rivals, have
right to speak and talk freely, so
long as they keep within the law, the
sooner Mr.. Maxine will occupy the rela-
tive Importance in the community that
his talents and character justify. This
is the position of white men and from
the poor success of Maxine in stirring
up the Japanese laborers, that view
evidently is shared in the main by the
Japanese community as we'll.
