mond, formerly Mrs. Marshall Field, ir.
OF Chicago, on the liner Amerika some
time during Saturday night
Mrs. Drummond estimates the money
value Of the purloined stones at $4,000,
but considers them worth far in excess
Of that sum to her personally. because Of
the unique character of the missing ar
ticles which include three strings Of white
pearls, 2sS In number. earrings OF black
pearls, surrounded by more than eighty
diamonds; black pearl and white pearl
rings and a shield-shaped brooch OF black
and pink pearls surrounded by diamonds

Mr.. and Mrs. Drummond had intended to
proceed today TO Chicago. but instead,
Mrs. Drummond said, the loss of the jewels
had changed their plans and they expected
to remain here for several days to aid
in the search for the gems.
Search to Be Extended.
The police have complete descriptions OF
the various pieces and pawn shops will
be watched. Besides this, II is planned to

try IL trace Of the gems is not found here.
Search of the steamer failed to reveal a
clue to the jewels or the identity Of the
person who took them. IL the gems were
carried off the ship, the method is as much
Of a mystery as the robbery itself and
must, detectives say, have been accom-
plshed by a most adroit smuggler. II is
possible the valuables are concealed in
some part Of the big vessel and with this
possibility In view It will be searched from
stem to stern today.
Mrs. Drummond was returning to this
country after an absence OF nearly three
years. She DIssed the jewels Sunday
morning.

rumor was afioat Monday at the Omaha
High school that Edward Burdick would
coach the basket ball team next season.
Nothing definite could be gained from any
Of the members Of the basket ball team,
but all expressed their wish that Bur
dick could coach the team next year and
also for the remainder Of the present
season.
Burdlck is well known to all high school
students having completed his career at
the school last spring. Burdick, since en-
tering the school five years ago, was al
ways interested in all kinds Of school sport,
and was generally regarded by his class
mates as being one Of the best all-around
athletes who ever graduated from the
school. He was a member Of the track
team for four years and also on the bas-
ket ball team for that number OF years.
In his third year, he proved himself to be
a sturdy guard on the foot ball team. In
his fourth year Burdick sustained a severe
fracture OF the knee, caused by playing
basket ball, and was incapacitated from
entering In athletics for the remainder Of
the season.
Burdick knows every trick In the game
and would make an excellent coach. Asked
whether or not he would hold down the
position Of the coach for next year he re-
piled that he was not sure, but sincerely
hoped so. Since only a small number OF
the basket ball squad will graduate this
year, the team for next year should sur
pass all the basket ball teams that the
high school has ever turned out, for many
Of the undergraduates will probably make
the team next year. who are equally as
good players as those on the team this sea-
son. Eta

PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
IN every way than those composed Of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., a blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
hers and the finest of all tonics.
). s. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is On absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions Of the circulation. II is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it inyigorates every portion Of
the system, and the healthy blood il
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement Of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. II has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free TO all who write.

FOUND WIFE AND
BABY GONE

Martin Oxford, proprietor of the
Banner dye works on South Yak
ina avenue, went home Monday
night to find the place deserted
and wife and baby gone. On the
table was note:
Have gone to work, will write
soon. Baby sends kiss. Goodby."
Jennie.
Things have not been going we'll
at home for months. Oxford was
sick and could not earn much. The
baby, now six months old, had
worn the mother out and she was
irritable and, with poverty star
ing the family in the face, a sit
uation that was full of despair
was ever present.
A little family dispute Sunday
seemed to work on the wife, and
Monday she took up the baby and
left, evidently to seek work her
self.
oxford has been nearly crazy
all week.
