{g;: =" THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, F BOBSON WANTS BICGER NAVY Would Have United States Equal All the World Besides at Sea HOW TO KEEP INDUSTRIAL SUPREMACY e Lientenant in the Service Ex- plains His Theory to Omaha Peo- ple at Kountze Memorial Chureh, Forty millions of dollars to be spent this year for new warships, $50,000,000 next year, with an increase of $10,000,000 each year until the navy of the United States shall bo equal to the combined navies of the world, sums up the plea of Richard Pearson Hob- son, late lieutenant and naval constructor of the United States navy, at Kountze Memorial church last night. Mr, Hobson appeared under the auspices of the lecture bureau of the Young Men's Christian assoclation. He was introduced by J. M. Gillan, who briefly referred to his exploits at Santiago and in China In opening he sald that America is entering upon a new era of history and must become a world power, and for that reason it s the duty of all American citizens to pay more attention to the general political and social conditions of the people of other nations. He compared the ability of the average American with the average Euro- pean and sald that it s demonstrated that the producing power of America is approx- imately ome-third of that of the entire human race, and that it is increasing by immigration and natural increase almost double that of the average of all the other countries, so that within a comparatively tew years the United States will be able to produce material equal to the total pro- duetion of the world. Why the Navy is Needed. Referring to soclological conditions, he said the citizen of the United States is the only civillan who I8 not burdened with the evils and expense of military government and strong central power; that the history of the development of the nations of Eu. rope jows that each has come up through military force—that race after race has been driven across the continent, to disappear before a more warlike power, while in the United States the development has been entirely along industrial lines, and that for this reason the United States will stand as the champlon of the new era in history which s to place militariem in the back- ground and make industrial force the dom- inant force in the development of nations. Qery other country has conquered or been c%nquered, and the people of those coun- tries stend today either fearing the ad- vance of a hostile army or dreaming of a conquest to avenge former wrongs, while the American citizen does not look forward to a time when this country shall invade the territories of its neighbors, and cer. tainly does not fear the march of foemen. The measure of the devotion of the Amer- fcan to principle can be seen from the his- tory of the civil war, where Americans, inspired by convictions of right on either side, fouxht battles with greater fatalities than any war of previous times, and in which war theére were regiments which lost in one engagement more than 50 per cent ot thelr members, while the celebrated charge at Balaklava cost the famous Light Brigade only about 38 per cent. Salvation for Our Industries. He dwelt upon the statement that the only way in wmen! the Indubtrial force can overcome the military force s through a strong navy, which, he said, will not bear upon the people, as the central government is so remote from the people that no one will feel any burden through the raising of funds, and the fact that the force is upon the seas will make any increasp in the mil- itary spirit in this country afficult if not impossible through that source; that such & navy Is absolutely necessary for the pur- pose of carrying out the distinctive ide of the American people, as the other na tions of the world will respect the ideas of America in proportion to the size of the pavy which it has to enforce them. Mr. Hobson referred to the action of the United States in Japan and in Ch' in 1860 and before, when it returned to the nations a sum of money paid as indemnit ‘while the other nations, which received like indemnities, kept the funds, and while Germany at the walls of Paris starved the city inte subjection, from his prison wine dow at Santiago he had seen 18,000 old men, women and children march from the gates to be fed upon the rations of the | beleaguering army; that while other na- tions bad lald indemnity upon conquered people, the United States had pald Spain $20,000,000 and had transported its troops home from the land it had lost. At the conclusion of the address the audience, which occupled the greater part of the church, took parf In an informal reception which was tendered the speaker.

The following public statement of a Tespected citizen adds one more emphatic endorsement of merit to the scores that have appeared before. Mrs. F, Mach of 1221 Seuth says:—"1 firat felt sharp twinges across the small or my back, I paid little at- tention to them thinking they would pass away in a short time, but instead 1 grew worse and finally got so bad I could not do my work. My husband bought many kinds of medicine for me, but nothing helped me until he procured Doan's Kiduey Pills at Kuhn & Co's drug store, corner 15th and Douglas streets. They benefited me right along and in & short time I was all right. There has been no return of the trouble 15th st. and I am glad to let others know what Doan's Kidney Pills did for me."” For sale by all dealer, price 50 Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, agents for the U. 8 Remember the name, Doan’ substitute, cents. N. Y., wole and take no INTERESTIN it fo Prove It. One graln of the active principle in Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome f00d, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment, which anyone can per- form for himself in the following manner Cut hard bofled eggs into very small pieces, as 1t would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body), and keep it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment is that what Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benes fit If its digestion Is weak, and the thou- sands of cures accomplished by their regu- lar daily use are easily explained when ft 1s understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingles with the food and digests it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do piils and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the intestines. When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no constipation, nor, in fact, will there be disease of any kind, because good digestion means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspep~ sia Tablets are world-wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50c for full sized package in every drug store in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe. ———e ey joining her apartment was that of Mrs. Sarah Davis. Friday evening Mrs. Davis discovered that her room had been broken into and a Boston store bank contalning 365, stolen from her trunk. The next morning Mrs. Scott changed her residence and found lodging at 2617 North Twenty- sixth street. Daily she returned to her former residence. Yesterday while De- tectives Drummy and Mitchell were search- ing for her he returned again and attacked Mrs. Davis. During the encounter, which grew out of Mrs. Davis suspecting Mrs. Scott of the theft, Mrs. Davis accidentally got the first finger of her right hand into Mrs. Scott’s mouth. The member was nearly bitten off before assistance arrived. Mrs. Scott was later arrested and taken to the station, while Mrs. Davis sought the services of Assistant Surgeon Hahn, who dressed the chewed finger. STORY' OF OLD INDIAN'S LOVE How He Was Married on His Death Bed to Girl of His Cholce. You Can Try Henry Blackbird, accompanied by Fred Cayou, an interpreter, {s in the city to con- sult with the United States attorney re- garding the disposition of the property ot Jobn C. Fremont, one of the former mem- bers of the Omaha council and one of the last men to bear the title of chief. Fre- mont died a year ago this month and left a will, which Blackbird, who is a half-brother of the deceased, has determined to have set aside. According to the story told by Blackbird, Fremont, Who was a very old man, became enamored with Memushone, & maiden of his race, but was compelled by reason of the opposition of his children to refrain from marrying her. Against the tradition of the tribe, Memushone and Fremont lived to- gether for some time, and when he came to die he promised to leave her interest in elghty acres of land and an income of $50 per month from his estate as long as she should live on the home place and care for | his minor children. While Fremont was dying a white preacher was secured from a neighboring town and at the request of the Indian woman per- formed a ceremony of marriage between the unconscious Indfan and the woman, and this ceremony the heirs of Fremont desire to have set aside, claiming that it s of no effect, as the bridegroom was unable to understand 3 word or to express his assent. He died a short time after the ceremony, according to Blackbird's story, and later a will was produced which gave his wite a greater interest in the property than he had expressed as his intention. The widow has now. married another member of the tribe—Charles McCawley— and the heirs desire to have the will con- strued according to the verbal expressions of the deceased. The case will be tried in Thurston county in case the United States district attorney decides that the heirs should be permitted to go into court. Hofmelster is Taken Back, Deputy Sheriff J. B. Thompson of Fari- bault, Minn., arrived in the city Tuesday afternoon and returned with Herman Hof- melster, who s wanted there for burglary and jufl-breaking Hotgeleter offerca make the trip without ralsing objection to the requisition.

Johnson BENNETT STORE WILL OPEN Judge Munger Oonfirms Bale of the Stook to J. E. Baum NEW COMPANY - WiLL BE INCORPORATED Mr. Baum Wil poration and Busl Hend the New Cor- Resumed Under of W. R. anagement Bennett, The sale of the bankrupt stock of the . R. Bennett company to J. E. Baum was confirmed by Judge Munger in the United States district court yesterday afternoon. This means that the big department store at Sixteenth and Harney streets is to be continued by & company to be incorporated under the leadership of Mr. Baum. While the latter will be in charge of the estab- lishment, W. R. Bennett will be the man- ager. Although there is no direct author- ity for the statement, it is said that the capital stock of the company will be $200,- 000, Mr. Baum sald last night: “Transac- tions have not progressed sufficlently to make a statement of what we expect to do other than that the store will be continued under an incorporated company, of which I will be the head. This will be done and the store opened under the new manage- ment as soon as possible. Negotiations are now pc-ding for the conduct of several de- partments that were formerly run by the firm and it {8 possible that they may be owned and operated separately, as have been the dry goods and other departments since the store was opened. Considerable new stock has been ordered and affairs are being rushed so that the opening under the new company can be made at the earllest possible date.” SUIT AGAINST LAUNDRYMEN Charles Boschert Complains “Combine” Forces Him Out ot Business. that Laundry Proprietors Evans, Kimball and Alnscow have been sued for $15,000 by Charles E. Boschert. Boschert complains that they have, by unlawful combining, forced him out of the laundry commission business and says he will not only carry this civil sult through, but will ask the county attorney to start criminal proceed- inge. It s his allegation that he used to collect laundry and have the work done by them for a per cent, that they finally discon- tinued this and also barred him from hav- ing his work done'at South Omaha, Council Bluffs or Lincoln; that he then went to Fremont, and made an arrangement with the Hyatt-Townsend firm there, but that shortly after the laundrymen in Omaha and South Omaha called Hyatt to Omaha and told him it he continued to do the Boschert work they would install a vigor- ous rival at Fremont and retaliate; that thereupon tne Fremont firm dMclined to serve him also, and that now the business which wax his for years is ruined, and he is damaged in consequence.

Bridget had sued John for $10,000 damages for breach of promise. The case was tried and the evidence, with the instructions of the judge, were glven to the jury, and the jury had just rendered its decision in favor of the defendant, when Bridget, realizing a lost cause, deliberately took her revolver from the folds of her dress, where during the trial she had concealed it, and fired point blank at the defendant, just as he had finfshed shaking hands with his attor- Shoots John ney who had so ably defended him.

FIREMEN FINALLY TURN HOSE ON HIM Attacks Jailer with Sharp-Pointed Board, Torn from Hickory Bunk in His Cell After Hreak- ing Handcufts, For two hours yesterday Harry Burke, a prisoner fn the city jail, held the officers at bay with a large five-foot plece of pointed board, while he threw missiles promiscuously around the corridor, tore the grating from the sewer opening near his cage, ripped the closet in his cell from its fastenings and broke a pair of handcuffs with which he had been shackled. During the fore part of . the morning Burke, who had been given ten days yes- terday for vagrancy, worked himself into a frenzy of anger because of some imaginary grievance which he hald against the police. He raved like a madman, cried and wept at intervals and howled and cursed. The fit of madness grew worse when Jailer Kirk and several other officers entered Burke's cell for the purpose of putting the hand- cufts on him. He fought like a madman. During the struggle he sunk his teeth doep into the fleshy part of Jaller Kirk's right hand, sent two of the other officers spinning like tops across his cage and attacked the bars with his cuffs. Breaks His Handcufls. Every effort was made to quiet the pris- oner. who continued working upon his cuffs until he had broken the steel fetters. Then greatest amount of reality for a mock trial | he proceeded to tear up everything in his cell, including the hickory bunk.

Unthoughtful of any danger the jailer was first warned of his perilous position when Burke, with a cry of rage, made a rush for him with the sharp stick. Luckily the jailer dodged in time to prevent being wounded. Coptain Mostyn ordered that Burke be subdued by having the jail hose turned om him. The small stream only served to in- tensify the anger of the prisoner. The cap- tain then sent for a squad of firemen and several lengths of hose. An outside window was raised and the cell deluged with chilling water. Secreting himself behind the plate | upon the cell door Burke defied the firemen to reach bim. A side window was quickly broken out and the full force of the stream played through the bars of Burke's cell. The prisoner was then thrown into one corner of the cage. Grasping for support the cuff from his wrist accidentally dan- gled through the bars and was caught by the jailer, the cell was opened overpowered. Breaks Burke again displayed his meanness dur- ing the afterncon, when he slipped his hands from the muffs which had been placed upon his wrists and threatened tbs offi- cers who chanced to pass by his cell Quickly tearing the top from the toilet in hie cell, he waved the heavy iroa weapon and Burke could be Out Again. who held him until the door of | FREE T0 ALL UNTIL MARCH 15 Our fres clinto prices ex~ tended wuntil March 15| We want every man, woman | and ehild to have thelr teeth examined by the professor | of this college, No students to | practice on you, but old, ex= perienced, rellable, accurats, expert dentists.
