Negro and a Woman in His Company Are Arrested in Omaha. OMAHA, Dec. 1L.—W. H. Woods and a female companion, giving the name of True Johnson, both of whom are colored, were arrested by the local police to-day, charged with having robbed Alfred F. Lowenthal, a traveling salesman for a New York jewelry firm, in a Portland, Or., | hotel, of §15,00 worth of diamonds Jewelry. The jewelry was traced by a local pawn- and broker, who had received a printed cir-| cular describing the stolen property, to Woods and his compamon, and they were found in the east part of the city When arrested there was found in their possession $3000 worth of diamonds and Jewelry, and a check for $200, which had been given by the pawnbroker in ex- change for a diamond brooch. The wo- man denies having any knowledge of where the jewelry came from, and W oods refuses to talk. The robbery occurred November 17, when Lowenthal stopped at a hotel in Portland for the night. He left his sam- ple cases in his room and went to sup- per. When he returned they had been broken open and the more valuable part of their contents carried away. There were 223 diamond brooches, ninety-three scarf pins and a large number of diamond rings among the missing articles. Last Monday the Johnson woman cailed at the office of a Douglass street pawn- broker with a brooch, on which the broker made a loan of $200, for which amount he gave his check. The woman gave her address and left his office. He then examined the brooch and found it to be identical with the first article named in a printed circular he had received de- scribing the jeweiry stolen from Lowen- thal. e immediately notified the police and two detectives were detailed to call at the address given by the woman, but found no one there. They made a second call with more success, finding the woman and Woods at the place, and both were piaced under arrest. The Portland police have been notified and a man is now on his way to this city to identify the jewelry found in the pos- session of Woods and the woman. The police found on searching the house ten diamond pins, three studs and a ten- point diamond set star of sunburst. Two large diamonds adorned Woods' cravat woman were also diamond rings of con- siderable value. It was their plan hours.

On May 31 at 1:30 o'clock the Justice Court was _called dead and the complainant was not pres- ent. The record also shows that on May a warrant to search the premises of Calvin Hall to recover certain stolen arti- cles was issued. During the introduction of the record much time was devoted to argument as 1o its admissibility. Post asked that the jury be excused from the courtroom until the argument was concluded. Judge Har- rington remarked that perhaps it would be best to devote the first two weeks to argument and then proceed with the trial. . The defense did not cross-examine Myers, | as his testimony related only to the au- thenticity of the record of his court. E. L. Carpenter was next called to the | stand. The defense at once objected to Carpenter being allowed to testify, on the ground that during the opening statement by counsel for the prosecution Carpenter was charged with having been one of the conspirators against Hall. During the argument the court excused the jury from the courtroom. After the objection by the defense was overruled the jury returned. Carpenter said that he was the con- stable of Lookout Township and that on the 25th day of May he served a warrant of arrest on Calvin Hall. He was ac- companied by Isom Eades and R. E. Levanton, two of the men charged in the and that the same warrant commanded the arrest of Mary Wilson, Frank and James Hall, Daniel Yantis and Martin Wilson. The next question asked was as to what method was followed in making the arrest by Carpenter, Eades and Levanton. It was objected to and a_lengthy argument | on the admissibility of the question fol- lowed, during which Judge Harrington excused the jury until 9:30 o’clock to-mor- row morning. The argument was not con- cluded when court adjourned. POSTUM If you are a Coffee fully indeed. been suffering small or part by coffee drinking.

L i a aa a a a al ] SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST CHIEF EXAMINER MORAN Board of Works Complains to Mayor That Secretary Gives Out Pri- vate Information. The Board of Public Works will file & written complaint to-day with Mayor Phe- lan to the effect that Chief Examiner Moran of the Civil Service Commission had given out information of a private nature to the public regarding affairs per- tinent to the administration of the two boards. Commissioner Mendell, president of the Board of Public Works, charges Moran with having written at least two articles concerning the prospective remov- al of George W. Dutton, inspector of street sweepings, and the alleged refusal of Superintendent of Buildings Barnett to employ an old man who had passed the &Vl Fervice examination. There has been bad blood between the gwo boards for severs! months past ow. ing to the disinclination of the Board of Public Works to be intimidated into ac- cepting eligibles furnished b{ the Civil Service Commiesion. Caustic letters have zssed almost daily between President Freuda of the Civil Service Commission and President Mendell of the Board of ‘Works, Moran says that the last named board has repeatedly put obstacles in the way of the introduction of the merit sys- tem In its department, while Men claims that the commission of which Mo- ran Is secretary has been inclined to be dictatorial in the matter of appointments. Moran denles that he gave out any in- formation and lnuihs at the charge that he wrote articles for the newspapers. It is not thought that Mayor Phelan will resort to any drastic measures for the purpose of disciplining Moran, but that the latter will be mildly reproved and cautioned not to be too loquacious in fu- ture is almost certain. ——————— Judge Lawlor Returns.

It is, however, an orgaaization of laity. All the officers are laymen. The only question regarding member- ship was that of the admission of women. The committee on_ constitution did net report in favor of their admissiom, but the convention took it up and after a long and animated discussion decided to ad- mit them. The objects of the Federation are stated to be “the cementing of the bonds of fra- ternal union among the Catholic laity and Catholic societies of the United States; the fostering and protecting of Catholic interests and works of religion, piety, edu- cation and charity; the study of condi- tions in our social life, and the dissemina-~ tior of the truth.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE The Danger in That Common Disease, Catarrh. Because catarrhal diseases are so come mon and because catarrh is not rapidly fatal, people too often overlook and ne- glect it until some incurable allment de- velops as a result of the neglect. The inflamed condition of the membrane of the nose and throat makes a fertile soll for the germs of Pneumonia and Con- sumption, in fact catarrhal pneumonia and catarrhal consumption are the most common forms of these dreaded diseases, which annually cause more than one- quarter of the deaths in this country. Remedies for catarrh are almost as numerous as catarrh sufferers, but very few have any actual merit as a cure, the only good derived being simply a tempo- rary relief. There is, however, a very effective rem- edy recently discovered which is rapidly becoming famous for its great value in re- lieving and permanently curing all forms of catarrhal diseases, whether located in the head, throat, lungs or stomach. This new catarrh cure is principally composed of a gum derived from the Bu- calyptus tree, and this gum possesses ex- traordinary healing and antiseptic proper- ties. It is taken Internally in the form of a lozenge or tablet, pleasant to the taste and so harmless that little children take them with safety and benefit. Eucalyptus oil and the bark are some- times used, but are not so convenient nor so palatable as the gum. Undoubtedly the best quality is found in Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, which may be found in any drug store, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried douches, inhalers and liquid medicines will be surprised at the rapid improvement after a few days" use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which are composed of the gum of the Eucalyp. tus tree, combined with other antiseptica which destroy the germs of catarrh in the blood and expel the catarrhal poison from the system. Dr. Ramsdell in speaking of catarrh and its cure says: ‘“After many experiments 1 have given up the idea of curing catarrh by the use of inhalers, washes, salves or liquid medicines. I have always had the best results from Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets; the red gum and other valuable anti- septics contained in these tablets make them, in my opinion, far superior to any of the numerous catarrh remedies so ex- tensively advertised.” The fact that Stu- art’s Catarrh Tablets are sold in drug stores under protection of a trademark should not prejudice conscientious physi- clans against them, because their un- doubted merit and harmjess character make them a remedy which every catarrh sufferer may use with perfect safety and the prospect of a permanent cure. For colds in the head, for coughs, ca- tarrhal deafness and catarrh of the stom- ach and liver, people who have tried them say that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets ate & household necessity.
