Morris Thinks Smith Fire Was Caused by Tramps Fire Warden Morris made this statement relative to the fire in the stables of the Smith Bros’ Brick company last Saturday night: “I have made an investigation which leads me to believe that tramps caused the fire. This place is quite a rendezvous for hoboes. I know there were rumors that the fire was of incendiary origin, but I have found no evidence to substantiate that theory.” Yeggmen Try to Crack Safe In Lumber Yard Office Burglars entered the office of the Bullard, Hoagland & Benedict Lum- ber company, Twentieth and Izard streets, and tried to force the safe.

He told her that he was especially glad “to take the opportunity of expressing France’s gratitude for the personal| services rendered by American | women to the French cause.” He| also complimented the work of the American ambulance. QR Fum SERVICE Miss Gassette numbers hosts of Omaha women among her friends and visited Mrs. John Bourke here about three or four yeasr ago, At that time she painted portraits of Mrs. John N, Baldwin, Mrs, Howard Baldrige, a small daughter of Dr, and Mrs. J.

If You Are a Sick Woman Can you afford to doubt such over- whelming evidence as that of the let- ters constantly being published in the daily press, showing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that good old-fashioned remedy made from roots and herbs, restores suffer- ing women to health and strength? Thousands of women suffered just as you are suffering and in letters over their own signatures state they have been made well by Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. Why But in spite of the fact that she married and went to Massachusetts to live, she did not give up the idea of getting a pension from the Omaha Board of Education. She engaged an attorney to look into the legal phases of the matter, | and this is quietly going on at the present time. A teacher in the Omaha schools is | generally understood to be entitled to a pension when she has taught thirty- five years. Extra time is allowed those who teach in the summer schools. Soldiers of the regular army count service in the Philippines and Alaska as double time when recording years of service looking toward getting a re- tirement pension. Well, some such system is under- stood to obtain in the school teaching service in Omaha with regard to serv- ice in teaching in summer school. “I taught five summers when I didn’t really care to do so, just to help me on the required time to get the pension allowance,” said Miss Hunt before she left Omaha, “And now they are trying to keep me from the pension.” Miss Hunt believed she had ade- quate precedent for her claim. for a pension, but the board said “No.” She quoted Former Superidtendent Davidson as saying that summer school should count toward the pen- sion claim, and declared she had met all the requirements as Davidson had set them down years ago. “Nothing doing,” said the board.
