A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE
Carter Car Climbs Rome Miller Hill
in Presence of Many Auto
mobile Enthusiast.

One OF the prettiest automobile demon
STATIONS witnessed here recently was that
of the Carter car yesterday afternoon
taking the Rome Miller hill. Many enthu-
siasts rode out to see the performance.
This is perhaps the steepest hill around
Omaha, and the road is in wretched repair,
the rains having left trenches and small
gullys from top to bottom of II.
O e. EckeTt drove the car and carried
four passengers, one of whom, N. L..
Mallory, weighed more than $50 pounds.
The car went down the hill. and turning
at the foot of 1t, began it's climb without
making a running start.
Old automobile men pronounce II q Won
derful performance.
Another demonstration was made on the
Davenport hill, when the Carter car took
the hill backwards, stopping several times
in the steepest parts, and then proceeding
to the top without apparent effort.
Mallory & Clark, business men of Oak
land, Ia, are introducing the car into this
section of the west, They ave established
offices at 1117 Farnam street and will be
known as the Omaha Motor Car company.
They claim that superiority of the Carter
car over others as hill climbers lies in the
friction transmission, as against gear
transmission. This consists OF an alloy
friction disc fastened TO the end OF a shaft,
boiled to the rear Of the fly wheel through
a cross arm and two hin steel plates. This
simple construction, the manufacturer
claim, delivers a high percentage OF the
power developed in the motor to the rear
wheels and enables the car to do work
which cars with much greater power can
not do. Economy in power" they say,
lis an important item in the economical
maintenance Of an automobile"

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Contending that In
the discovery Of the Hudson river as In the
case of the North pole there is 'honor
enough for two thousands of Italians,
smothered in flags, bunting and gay uni
forms paraded down Broadway to the
battery this afternoon, when they unveiled
a statue of Giovanni de Verrazano, whom
historians describe as the first Trans
atlantic voyager TO arrive in New York
harbor.
With no intention to belittle the achieve
merits of Henry Hudson, Italians maintain
that Verrazano discovered the Hudson In
1924, or eIghty-five years before the Half
Moons arrival. But the Florentine navi
gator, evidently regarding the stream as
an ordinary one, left no detailed report of
his exploration of the river. on this ac-
count he has received but little recognition
in the new world for his achievement.
The parade today comprised $50 Italian
societies Of New York, New Jersey, Con-
~necticut and Massachusetts Nearly 1000
Italian men and women and 300 sailors
from the Italian cruisers Etna and Etruria
were mustered for the demonstration and
as they marched down Broadway they at
tracted great crowds of onlookers in spite
of the fact that the city has had a surfelt
of parades lately.
A gigantic float reproduced Verrazano's
history, the demonstration evidently
seemed out of place and either as indica-
tive of their %disapproval or in a spirit Of

Hearst Named
For Mayor of
New York City
Big Mass Meeting Urges Candidacy
of Newspaper Man Who Has En-
dorsed Tammany Ticket.

NEW YORK, Oct. T.-wiliam Randolph
Hearst, once defeated for mayor of this
city by George b. Mcclellan and later de-
feated by Charles E.. Hughes for Governor
Of the state, was nominated for mayor to-
night at a mass meeting of 1900 of his
admirers at Cooper Union. This action
was taken despite his authoritative state
ment last evening that he would not be a
candidate. Resolutions were adopted direct
ing that a committee Of five be appointed
to take steps for the naming Of an entire
city, county and borough ticket, which will
be placed in nomination by petition,
Tonight's meeting was called, according
to Its leaders, with a view to showing Mr..
Hearst that opinion among his followers
in the old independence league was so
strongly in favor of his running again as to
override even his positive declaration. The
hopes of the leaders were more than rea-
liked, every seat in the big hall was filled
and the name of Mr.. Hearst was greeted
every time it was mentioned with a salvo
of cheers. When, after a half dozen
opening speeches. he was formally noml-
mated for mayor, the meeting rose to it's
feet after the approved manner of political
conventions and the demonstration which
followed lasted twenty minutes before the
chairman's calls for order could be heard.
No indications as to what Mr.. Hearst's
attitude would be toward the action OF
the meeting was received before adjourn
ment was taken, but the leaders and
speakers expressed confidence that it would
be impossible for him to refuse. The third
party which is thus suddenly projected
into New York's municipal campaign will
not be known as the independence league,
but will probably bear the title Citizens
party" or some similar designation.
The platform, as indicated by the speak
ers, will express distrust Of the intentions
of both the republican and democratic
parties which have already nominated full
local tickets, declaring that a silent al
lance exists between Tammany and the
local republican machine which would make
good government under either an impos-
sibility. 1t will declare in strong terms for
municipal ownershiP OF ysubways,, economy
OF administration ana adequate school and
transit facilities. yct-iv "u ~
The principal address Of the evening was
made by William NJ WINS, who was the
candidate for mayor against Hearst and
Mcclellan four years ago.

DereIict Picks Mans POcket and is
Thinking and Looking 1t over

Down on Farnam street, where the lights
burn brightest, the derelict halted late
last night to think 1t over. He had picked
a mans pocket. ~
"Wha do you t'ink of that?' he unused
as he watched a late car bobble up the
street.
Did he need money, the derelict? Was
the way of crime the only way he could
do more. than exist7
A fat wallet bulged out the south pocket
of his trousers. 1t was the poeketbook he
had, stolen. He was in bad straits, the
derelict. He was also to the bad with the
on one of the benches in Hanscom park.
A policeman aroused him and made him
move on. Then he realized 1t was too cold
to sleep in the park, anyway. But 1t would
be~ the same story tonight and tomorrow
night-without money.

lict. His grimy fingers clutohed the wallet

Appropriately, the Gracious scions Of
Japanese Royalty Enter City
After Our Own King.

Prince and Princess Kumi. representa-
tives OF the imperial house Of japan at
the Hudson-Fulton anniversary at New
York. passed through Omaha Thursday
morning on their return Journey to the
Flowery Kingdom. The royal couple
reached the city in their private car on
the Northwestern at Z o'clock and departed
at 1905 on the Union Pacific en- route to
the coast. During the stay here the i'm
perial pair and the party in attendance re-
mained in the car and saw little Of Omaha.
The prince and princess had not arisen
when they departed.
The party included Colonel Kurita, mill
tary attache to the mikado, Nine. Maya
saki. maid Of honor to the empress; Lieu
tenant Colonel .Tanaka, military attache
TO the legation at washington, and Mr..
Takeda and Miss Kimura, in waiting to
the prince and princess.
Colonel Tanaka is escorting the party
to the Pacific coast, where they sail on
October 70 for Nippon. He is spokesman
for the party.
Colonel Kurita, military attache to the
emperor, declined to be interviewed and
retired into the fastness Of his native
tongue for defense. He, however, was the
most ~inquiring member OF the party and
made a general survey Of the railroad
yards about the Union station.
THE prince and princess have enjoyed
the trip greatly said Colonel Tanaka
They were interested and delighted with
the remarkable events of the anniversary
on the Hudson. Their visit to the United
States has been most pleasant. They were
the direct personal representatives of the
mikado at the celebration. Just now they
are engaged In an effort to catch the
steamer home and the trip must be a fast
one. 1 leave the party at San Francisco,
after seeing them off, to return to the
legation"
A number Of messages from the party
were forwarded to friends in the west from
Omaha and they will be met by prominent
Japanese at San Francisco.

SOUTH DAKOTA AFTER PRIZES
Oats Farmers Are Going to Win SOM
Money Mt National Corn
Exposition.

South Dakota is going TO show some Of
these older states something about corn
at the National Corn exposition" said Hy
Pierce, county COMMISSIONS of Gregory
county, South Dakota, who is in Omaha
to arrange for space at the show.
I'VE are young in the business, but for
all that are raising some corn this year
which will startle the natives. Our oats
will also open their eyes. The trouble with
the farmers in Nebraska is that they are
paying all their attention to improving
their corn and wheat and are not using
enough judgment in their selection of seed
oats. That is one reason that our oats
crops are better than those of the older
states where the farmers take whatever
oats they have left laying around for
seed.
'Our seed was all imported and we get
correspondingly better crops. Thousands
will learn this at the corn show. We are
going to carry back some Of those corn
show medals"

The installation Of the new cars for ser
vice on the Farnam street line depends on
the completion OF the new car barn at
Tenth and Pierce streets. The other car
barns on this line viii not properly house
the big cars.
The company c~ontemplates the use OF
twenty-five Of the big cars on the Farnam
line. OF this number ten were bought from
a st. Louis manufacturer. while the re-
naming fifteen are under construction in
the company's shops at Twenty-seyenth
and Lake streets.
The repair OF cars crippled in riots is
now requiring the attention Of the full
force in the company's shops. The men
employed in the construction department
are being utilized in the repair of the
damaged cars. Many cars have sustained
injury through the violence Of rioters and
the handling Of inexperienced men, but the
company has made no estimate OF the loss
from this source.

Regarding Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
how to obtain relief. There is no reason
why people should not eat anything
they desire-if they will only chew it
carefully and thoroughly. Many act
ually starYe themselves into sickness
through fear Of eating every good
looking, good smelling and good tasting
food, because it does not agree with
them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we
refuse every article of food that dis
agrees with us, before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics.
We are so confident that we can fur
