good place for the few doctors who came
here. y couple of NJ. D.s. just out of col
legc. heard about the place and determined
to stbridge the long wait which usually
prcccdes a professional career by setting
up shop in Iopewcl They found that
the town had no drug store, 40 hospital
and 10 trained nurses, but they we're not
dauntcd. With 500. which they managed
to borrow. they founded a very sketchy
drug store. and still more sketchy hos
pital. Now the flrug store carries heavy
stock and the hospital boasts eight rooms
and several nurses. The drug-medical-
hospital company has capital of about
$4,000. and its practice brings in about
$50 a day.
The enterprise and success of these
young men is typical. Lawyers, engi-
neers and newspaper men have had equal
success provided they had the ingenuity
to create the machinery of their profess
sions out of the raw materials, and the
courage to practice them among a Iawless
people. One of Hopewelrs newspapers
gained $500 daily circulation in two
months. The editor-n-chief sleeps on the
floor of the office and sends his copy to
Petersburg to be printed
Another young chap opened news
stand and poolroom. He enjoyed an
income of $50 a day from one pool ta-
ble-until the table Wore out He had
to keep crap shooters off the porch OF
his establishment with gun. and sup

part of his daily routine
Hopewell long had no post office but
there was one at the village Of City
Point. half mile away. This lad
agreed to carry letters deposited with
him to City Point for cent apiece
This added $40 a day to his income.

There are only about $50 qualified

VIII have to wait two years before
holding its first municipal election.
This strange state of affairs is due to
the fact that Hopewell was a corn

farmers who lived hereabouts no one
has been here long enough to qualify
as voter
MI the time that Iiopewcll was

constantly growing demand among the
better citizens for some kind of con-

when the Virginia leSislatur granted

pointed an administrative board to take
charge of its affairs until the charter
becomes effective on July |. At that
time the admin strative board will re
tire and the governor viii appoint d
mayor and council TO serve until the
second Tuesday in June. 1918, when
Hopewell will have its first regular
election.

Will Never Be Without
This Simple Laxative
DR.. CaldweRs Syrup Pepsin
Relieved Her Baby When
Nothing Else Would

Little Max Pendergrast is now four
years old, and fine healthy boy When
but a tiny baby, in fact almost from
birth, he suffered a great deal from
constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl
w. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind, heard
of DR.. Cadwell's Syrup Pepsin, OBJ
tanned a bottle of it from the drug
store, and with it was able to quickly
correct this condition.
Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin has saved them
from calling the doctor many times,
and that she will never be without a
bottle of it in the house to use when
needed. She found it equally effective
as a laxative for herself and other
members of the family.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is com
bination of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, pleasant to the taste, mild in action
and positive in effect. 1t does not grippe
or strain and contains no opiate or narcotic
drug. 1t is the ideal family laxative. mild
and pleasant for baby, yet acting quickly
on the strongest constitution.

Ellsworth, Neb., Nov 2S.-(Special

was caused by the extraordinarily
early visit of extreme winter weather,
Only a small number of cattle were
placed OH the winter range before the
weather, 10 and IS degrees below

of snow. The only thing visible to
the cattle was the frozen rock salt
This they observed and relished
with an enthusiasm that can only be

a relish without nutrition. The frost

Free Turkey Offer
Meets Big Response
Hundreds of People Stream
Into Store to Take Advan-

New Shipment Just Received
and No One to Be
Disappointed.

That Thanksgiving Day in
Omaha will be celebrated by the
eating of turkeys is now an assur-
ed fact. All day Saturday stream
of men, women and boys poured
into the Palace Clothing Com
pany's store at 14th and Douglas
streets to take advantage of the
opportunity to obtain free tur-
key for Thanksgiving. Eager pur-
chasers after obtaining their suit
or overcoat waited in line to Sc
lect their turkey, many departing
with two or more handsome birds.
The success with which the Of
fer was met induced the manage
ment to purchase another ship
ment of $50 turkeys in order not
to disappoint the hundreds who
will come to the store in the last
day, for the offer will close on
Wednesday night.
Palace quality suits and over
coats at SIS are without question
the acme of perfection in clothes,
and when an opportunity is offer
ed to obtain one of these suits or
overcoats and turkey free at the
same time the Omaha public is
quick to take advantage of the
offer.
To take advantage of this offer
do not wait until the last minute,
as the turkeys are going fast.

are now on exhibition in the Pal

Forced to Write a
Check and Then Go
To Get It Cashed

Betrayed into a strange house on
lower Missouri avenue and forced to
write a check for $40 and latter &C
company the assailant to South Side
saloon where it was to be cashed, is
the story Pat Beecham, David City,
Neb, told night police last evening.
Beecham managed to elude his be-
trayer while the check was being
cashed at the Carlson saloon at Twen-
tieth and Missouri avenue. When Of
hcers arrived few minutes later the
man had flown.
Sergeant Sheahan and Detectives
Sullivan and Fleming later arrested
Jim Jones, l4l5 Missouri avenue, at
Twenty-sixth and N streets on sus-
picion. This man was identified as the
assailant and is being held by the
police.
Beecham explained that he had be-
come acquainted with Jones during
the day and the two repaired to a
house on Missouri avenue, where the
assault was threatened. The check
was not cashed.
