Madam Yale Is Certainly a Wonderful Woman Souvenir Sale Of the Yale Toilet and Health Preparations Souvenirs From Lime. Yale for Our Lady Patrons The lecture given by Madame Yale this week at Boyd's theater was certainly a remarkable performance by this exceedingly remark- able woman. The press have proclaimed Madame Yale as the most brilliant and successful woman in her work today. She has lectured in all parts of the globe. Her well known products are sold by the lead- ing merchants throughout the breadth of the land. Such houses Mar- shall Field & Co., of Chicago, who are known as the merchant princes of the world, and in fact the most prominent house in each large city, represent Madame Yale as her agents for their territory, and we are exceedngly pleased to say that we have the agency for this city for the celebrated Yale line of Tollet and Health Preparations.

Mr. and Mrs. Z Bethers and 1406 Sixteenth avenue, Council have had this experience Henry Bethers, son of this couple, was upposed to have been buried by the tamily in its lot at the Fairview cemetery, Council Bluffs, weeks ago. Monday he walked boldly Into his home, and the relatives were all but overcome by his appearance. When finally they were able to bring themselves to believe it to be Henry Bethers, the members of the family were plunged as deeply into ecstacies ax they had been in grief and it was a reunion seldom seen and never to be forgotten. Some weeks ago a body, burned and charred beyond recognition, was found in a freight car near Valley. The car had come from Council Bluffs. Bethers was missing from home and someome jumped to the conclusion the body was his. His tamily so identifled it. The body was then given a burial by the Bethers family and the members have been grieving since over thelr loss. Until he walked into his family's home, young Bethers knew nothing of the fact of his supposed death and burlal. He sald he had just been traveling about and had been as far as St. Louls. “We cannot express our delight,” said one member We never were so happy “I have never been dead more alive than now,” said The John A.

THREE 'MAYOR CANDIDATES VOTE AT SAME POLLING PLACE Berryman and Breen fted from Rasors te Cormncebs. Corn cobs are less narmful than razors. This 18 a positive fact, but whether this fact was the cause of changing the polling place in the Second precinct of the Seventh ward 1s not known. The fact remains, however, that the polling place in the pre- cinct where three of the eight candidates for. mayor cast thejr ballots, was changed from & barber &hop to a barf. James Charles Dahlman, Edward Peter Berryman and John Paul Breen all vote in the Second precinct of the Seventh ward Al of them are candidates for the mayor- alty nomination, the first two on the dem- ocratic ticket and the third on the repub- lican ticket. Heretofore they have cast thelr ballots in an improvised booth in a barber shop on Park avenue, a few doors north of Mr. Breen's home and on & lot which at the rear joins the residence lot of Mayor Dahlman. Today the poliing place is in a barn In the rear of 15% Georglu avenue, block west of Colonel Berryman's hom Colonel Berryman was the first man to vote in the Second precinct of the Seventh ward, the battleground of the present cam- palgn. He announced with great glee that he voted for BA. P. Berryman for the democratic nomination for mayor. His vote was cast at 12:10. Fifty minutes later Hizzoner dropped his ballot in the box and told the judges and clerks and a few others standing around: “Phis is the, kind of a fellow I am: I/ voted for James C. Dahlman for rm\ynr/l; don't ask & man to vote for me and then vote for someone else myself.” Mr. Breen voted later in the afternoon One of the judges in this precinct is Frank Planck, employed by the city as a bookkeeper In the office of the city comp- troller.

For years the present quarters have been in- adequate and a couple of years ago plans were drawn for the new depot which would facilitate the handling of the Burlington's Omaha business. Everything was in readi- ness for the bullding of the depot two years ago, when the financial depression stopped the move, as it dld all new im- provements on western roads. It was thought in some quarters that the Burling- ton was securing the land on its main line west of Eleventh street for a new freight depot, but this Is.=='d to be erroneous. SHORT TERM BRINGS SOBS. SEVEN YEARS NOT A WHIMPER Amount of Emotion Displayed Varles Inversely with Severity of Sentencen. to The amount of emotion displayed by ecriminals about o be sentenced sometimes varies inversely with the severity of the sentence to be expected. Claude Weimer and Bille Bogdanovie fur- nished an example of this Tuesday morn- ng bofore Judge Sears, the latter recelving an imposition of seven years without a whimper and Welmer displaying greater emotion at & two-year penalty than men ordered to stretch hemp. There are other factors of courss, and there were in the lllustration cited, but the rule will pretty generally hold good. Convulsive sobs shook the Welmer youth, who says he is not yet 2 years, but looks a little older. He held a handkerchisf to his eyes and his fingers trembled, while his whole frame quivered. 1t Weimer, who forged his cousin’s name here, were not wanted for a similar offense in Tlinots, he might have got off even more lightly. Judge Sears, on account of his youth and professed intent to become a good citizen when out of this scrape, was disposed to be lenient. Weimer's sen- tence will begin from the date of his arrest January 6. Bogdanovic had & recommendation of | clemency tied on the verdict of guilty which the jury brought in. Judge Sears declared that jurymen had Informed him that they thought the other man whom Bogdanovic shot was somewhat involved too. “The jury considered you both highly undesirable citizens.” The sentence is seven years. For “shooting with Intent to kill" penalty runs from one to twenty years. WELLMAN SAYS HE WAS NOT CONSULTED BY ROOSEVELT Annoyed by Disc Corrects 32 the fon of Subject—— mpression of Wi, Existence.
