Saved Her Daughter’s Life. “Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy saved my daugh- ter's life when she had cholera mor- us at the age of fourteen months, She vomited every few minutes and we were unable to keep any medicine down long enough to benefit her un- til we gave her this remedy. The doctor being at our house I asked him what he thought about our using it, and he said as he was unable to do the child any good, I had better use it. The second dose she kept down and in a short time the bow- cls were checked and she improved rapidly after that,” writes Mrs, Jene nie Moyer, Lima, Ohio. Obtainable sverywhere.—Advertisement.

Miss Bessie Jablecnik, singer in the choir of Kountze Memorial church and formerly stenographer and clerk at the Union Pacific headquarters, had a hearing yesterday before the insanity commission on complaint of Emil P. Conrad, assistant chief clerk in the freight accounting de- partment of the railroad, charging that for four years Miss Jablecnik has annoyed and pestered him with love letters in the endeavor to force him to marry her, Miss Jablecnik’s home is with her parents at 241314 South Thirteenth street, while Mr. Conrad resides with his mother at 808 Ban- croft street. SEEKS T0 WED HIM| THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, Omaha Day at the Sta‘c Fair Plans for Marriage. Seated across the table from the lovelorn girl at the hearing Emil Conrad testified that his peace of mind and the comfort of his mother and friends have been disturbed by Miss Jablecnik's persistent telephone calls attempting to make plans for the marriage. . “She walks up and down the street in front of my home carrying a baby, trying to impress upon my mind that she seeks to become a mother. On one occasion she sent me a love let- ter enclosing a clipping from a maga- zine advertisement showing a mother carrying a child in her arms,” said Mr. Conrad. “She insists on calling up my moth- er on the telephone and endeavors to have her use her good graces to induce me to marry the girl. On ap- other occasion she entered a beauty contest at a suburban moving picture show and caused her name to be flashed on the screen as “Mrs. E. P. Conrad.” I employed Attorney Fitch to aid in controlling the girl, but ei- forts have come to naught. Love at First Sight. “County Attorney Magney has also consulted with her, but after the con- ference she has persisted in calling him on the telephone in the attempt to induce Mr. Magney to bring about a marriage ceremony. M{ associa- tions with the girl have been only those of a superior officer in the Un- ion Pacific departmeat.~ While she was employed there her desk was but a short distance from mine. It is apparently a case of love at first sight with her, but I resent her atten- tions, y “She recently inserted an advertise- ment in an Omaha paper as follows: ‘Wanted—Lady students for violin lessons. E. Conrad, 808 Bancroft street’ I nad nothing to do with the publication of the advertisement and after it was run in the paper she clipped several of the ads and mailed them to me. Prospective pu- pils have called at my home and an- noyed my mother through the ac- tions of Miss Jablecnik” . “Bessie has always been a jolly girl, and has taken a prominent part in plays staged by the Bohemian-Ameri- can Dramatic club,” said B. W. Bar- tos, bookkecper at the National Print- ing company, in defense of the girl. “I have known the family for twen- ty-five years and have known Bessie ever since she.was a little tot. These letters to Mr. Conrad must have been written in a spirit of jest and were probably intended only as a joke. No, she has not jollied me, because I am a married man,” With the aid of an interpreter, Mrs. Caroline Uhlir, friend of the family for fifteen years, testified that Bessie had complained to her at lodge meet- ings that she was being harassed and annoyed by a man in the Union Pa- cific offices. Mr. Conrad’s name was not mentioned, however. Always Jovial. “Bessie told me that this man stared at her while she was working, and that when he approached her desk he blushed and was taunted by other employes because of his actions,” said Mrs. Uhlir, Her testimony was to the effect that Miss Jablecnik's attitude has always been jovial and talkative and that she is now as ra- tional as during any of the years she has known her. Stanley Sherpon, 2230 South Four- teenth street, editor at the National Printing company, testified that he has known Miss Jablecnik for sixteen years and that because of her sun- shiny disposition has always been sought by members of the dramatic clubs and young people’s organiza- tions of the Lutheran churci. When County Attorney George Magney was called to the witness stand to tell of his experiences with Miss Jablecnik he brought with him a letter addressed to his office after the first conference with the accused girl. It reads as follows: “Omaha, Aug. 7, 1916—She belongs to Conrad, and you, as county attor- ney, can make him take care of her. “Very sincerel “B. JABLECNIK. “P. S.—In this case those are the proper steps for you to take.” his letter will be entered as evi- dence when the insanity commission resumes the hearing at 9 o'clock Fri- day morning. Miss Jablecnik was re- turned to the county hospital pending the completion of the hearing.

TAX ON WINE TO REMAIN The elimination of some features of the stamp act as proposed by the conference committee of congress, would cut out the emergency stamp tax on practically everything except on wine, in the opinion of Deputy Revenue Collector North of Ne- braska. The sale of stamps out of the Qma- ha office for the various legal papers and all such documents requiring the federal stamp under the emergency act, amounted roufhly to $450,000 a year. This was for stamps in Ne- braska alone. Mr. North estimates that the stamps on wine, which will be about all that will be left if the elimination bill goes through, will amount to only about $12,000 in Nebraska. ' Big Stamp on Deeds. One of the biggest item which the proposed amendment would seem to eliminate is the stamping of deeds in the transfer of real estate, This has been a big item in Omaha, particu- larly when it is remembered that some of the biggest sales of high priced property ever made in Omaha have been made since this emergency rev- | enue stamp act has been in effect, and many thousands of dollars worth of stamps have been put on the deeds recorded here in the last year. The published reports of the agree- ment of the conference committee are to the effect that stamps are to be eliminated on bonds, debentures, cer- tificates of stock, agreement of sale, conveyance, warehouse and custom house receipts, foreign steamship tick- ets and Pullman car tickets. Also it is understood to do away with the stamp on telegrams and long distance telephone calls, amounting to over 25 cents in tolls. Southern Kitchen is New Feature at Hotel “Cawn pone an’ chicken gravy an’ spring chicken fried in butter, dat's what we all are givin’ you,” was the greeting extended to about 200 Omaha business men by “Aunt Dinah” when they hastened to the southern kitchen at the Hotel Fontenelle. The odor of fried chicken lured them. It pene- trated into the nooks and crannies of the hotel and beckoned pedestrians from the street. Kittie Brown, the “Aunt Dinah” imported from Atlanta, Ga, by Manager John F. Letton, reached Omaha Sunday night and opened her kitchen at the lunch hour Wednesday. Gasoline May Soon Drop Another Cent for Omaha Local gasoline dealers anticipate another drop of 1 cent a gallon in this territory. s Information has been received that the Standard Oil company made a cut of 1 cent in the Indiana territory, which includes eleven states, but does | not include Omaha, A recent reduction of 1 cent in the | eastern field was followed by a similar decline here. Gas is now selling for 19 cents in Omaha. Catholic Turnfest May Come to Omaha Next Year Fifty of the 100 Omaha Catholic Turners who went to the Turnfest in Milwaukee have returned, bringing with them a number of the class and individual prizes. They came over the Burlington, occupying two sleep- ers, While the location for the Turnfest next year has not been determined, the returning Turners assert that Omaha is in line and has a good chance to entertain the meeting.
