Bruce Carpenter has brought suit in thé federal court against the Union Pacific for $35,000, alleging that on November 25, 1914, a Union Pacific train ran into and utterly demolished his automobile while crossing the rail- road bridge over the Platte near Sco- tia, Neb. As a result of the accident Mr. Bruce claims to have been per- manently injured. The case is being tried in Judge Woodrough's court. Fine Fireplace Goods—Sunderland. Prohibition would deprive the city of Omaha, of a yearly revenue of §352,- 000 deriyed at present from liquor li- censes. All of this large sumn goes to the school fund. It is sufficient to build five new, modern, twelve-room school houses every year of the type of the Castellar and Vinton schools. Only by greatly increasing taxes on property can this loss, which prohibi- tion woyld cause, be made up. Think it over. Douglas County Property Owners and Taxpayers' League, 386 Rose building, M. J.

It was the tragic finish of ar: afrer- noon picnic party and canoe voyage. Earlly in the afternoon Miss ‘Morris, Miss Freda Christensen of 3316 Mer- edith and Kenneth Klepser, 3205 Lin- coln boulevard, accepted the invita- tion of George Parish, World-Herald employe, living at 3465 Ames, to go canoe riding. They had spent most noon on an island near Gibson and at 5 o'clock started for home. The frail craft was just beneath the Union Pa- cific bridge, which is undergoing re- pairs, when it struck an eddy, which catapulted the canoe against a scaf- folding attached to the bridge. The canoe overturned and all were thrown into the water. Miss Christensen managed to catch hold of the scaf- fold, and Klepser and Parish, who are good swimmers, turned their atten- tion to Miss Morris, who reappeared in the' strong current for an instant and then sank from sight. In spite of the efforts, the body was not recovered, and finally they made their way to shore, where they called for help. The occupants of the canoe had ! f the after- .\IIS(RUTH MORRIS. been friends from childhood. Until late in the evening a search was maintained for the body of Miss Mor- ris, but it could not be found. Miss Morris was the daughter of the late Captain Morris of the city fire department. She is survived by her mother, two sisters and. five brothers. They arc: Helen = and Edith, and Ray, Edgar, John, Clarke and Marion. A reward of $25 is offered for the recovery of the body. e Americans Win Several Events At Athletic Meet Malmo, Sweeden, Oct. 29.—The visiting Amefican athletes, Ted Mere- dith, Joe Loomis, Fred Murray, Bob | Simpson and Andy Ward, competed here this afternoon in games with Swedes and Danes.

Thousands Have Discovered Dr, Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the sub- stitute for calomel—-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- sult of Dr, Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His éfforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects, They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel, | Tlger take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids.
