proval of the respective governments
before definite negotiations with the
Chinese peace commissioners are be
gun.
gun.The
The precise terms of the settlement
have not yet been made public here ,
but it is believed , outside the diplo
matic corps , that the main points are
in a substantial agreement with those
contained in the French note to the
powers .namely : punishment for the
guilty , indemnity to governments and
individuals , retention of strong lega
tion guards and the occupation of cer
tain places between Pekin and Taku.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. Such in
formation as has come to the State
department in the last few days is said
to Indicate a more favorable condition
of affairs respecting the chances for a
satisfactory understanding among the
ministers of the powers than during
the early part of last week , when a
deadlock seemed imminent. Just what
is the nature of this information is not
stated , but probably it came as the
result of Secretary Hay's latest note
to the powers setting out afresh the
object of the United States government
as to Chinli. This note contained the
instructions that have been sent to
Minister Conger and are believed to beef
of such a nature as to constitute an
appeal from the extreme course sug
gested by some of the powers as to
the treatment of the Chinese govern
ment on seme of the matters upon
which the ministers have been unable
to agree. Nothing has come from Min
ister Cougar during the last forty-
eight hours.

tween the walls of the imperial and j
Tartar cities , a strip a mile long and i
'
a third a mile wide. M. DeGiers ( Rus-
sion minister ) has declined to yield on
the indemnity question , and some kind
of a verbal compromise has been ar
ranged. "
The Morning Post publishes the fol
lowing from its Pekin correspondent ,
date Saturday :
"Wang Wen Chao , now a cabinet
minister , has written to Sir Robert
Hart from Sian Fu that Emperor
Kwang Su would be glad to return
to Pekin , but that his majesty would
'lose his face' if foreign troops were
there. "
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard asserts that "the Russian
volte face dates from the czar's ill
ness. "
HENDERSON IN WASHINGTON.
Has Little to Say Regarding Proposed
Congressional Action.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 26 Speaker
Henderson arrived in Washington this
morning from his Iowa home prepara
tory to the opening of congress In De
cember. He was delayed on the trip
by a wreck.
"I don't know that I have anything
in particular to say about the approaching
preaching session of congress , " he said
in a hurried interview with a reporter.
"We republicans are people who work ,
not talk. Both of the houses have
fixed sittings. The house has the ole
omargarine bill as a special order for
the third day of the session and the
senate is to consider the Nicaraguan
canal bill , I believe , in December. But
at any rate there will be no idling. "

AN INVALID STATUTE.
Judges Decide Against . tiite Transpor
tation Hoard.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 20. Chief Jus
tice Norval has held that the board
of transportation IB null and void and
the other two judges of the Nebraska
supreme court concur. The law is de
clared wnconstitutisnal because it was
not properly passed by the two houses
of the legislature. This decision wipes
from the statutes a law that has been
in force since 1887 and leaves prac
tically no railroad regulation In forco.
The old maximum rate law is dormant
or inoperative , and upon the next leg
islature will devolve the duty of en
acting a new law or of submitting to
the people a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of railroad
commissioners by the people. These
or other remedies may be proposed.
Following is the syllabus of the
opinion :
The provisions of section 11 , article
3 of the constitution , relative to the
mode of enacting laws are-mandatory.
The title to a legislative act is a
part thereof and must clearly express
the subject of legislation.
An enrolled bill in the office of the
secretary of state is only prima facie
evidence of its passage.
Where the legislative journals une
quivocally contradict the evidence fur
nished by the enrolled bill the for
mer will control. Webster vs. City of
Hastings , 81 N. W. 510.
A statute is invalid which the legis
lative journals show was never passed
in the mode prescribed by the consti
tution.
A statute is invalid which is not
read in each house of the legislature
on three different days.
Chapter 60 , 1887 , is void as the act
as enrolled was not passed by the leg
islature in the mode prescribed by sec
tion 11 , article 3 of the constitution.
Judge Holcomh occurred in the opin
ion and added the following :
"Although not entirely agreeing with
the course of reasoning pursued by the
chief justice in the foregoing opinion ,
I concur in all the propositions stated
in the syllabus and regard as irresist
ible the conclusion that the act under
consideration failed to pass both
branches of the legislature , in com
pliance with the commands of the con
stitution. "
The principal fault in the passage
of the bill was the change in the title.
The same title did not pass both
houses and the house journal does not
show that the title was amended in
that body.

HAD BfEN DEAD A LONG TIME.
Mysterious Dimippoiironue of KrlcU Sobol
Finally Cleared Up.
COZAD , Neb. , Nov. 24. Brrick So
bol , a German , sixty-six years of ago ,
was found dead in a canyon ten. miles
southwest of here by two hunters. The
body was hanging to a plum tree.
Three strands of binding twine were
tied to the plum tree about fourteen
inches from tlie ground. The other
end was around the dead man's neck.
The tree is on the edge of a ledge , and
the body was hanging over the ledge.
Sobel disappeared a year ago and it
appears that he hung himself the
same day that he disappeared , and
the body had been hanging by the neck
in the canyon for a year. The coyotes
and birds feasted upon the remains.
One of the legs and feet were found
some distance from the body. The
eyes appeared to have been pecked out
by birds.
Sebol had been working for Godfrey
Ingalls for three years for his board
and often stated that he had once a
good home , but he deeded it to his son ,
with the understanding that he ( the
son ) would care for him during the
remainder of his life , but one day
the son turned him out of doors and
he has had no home since.
Some think that there has been foul
play , claiming that the binding twine
that was around his neck was not
stained , but as bright as new.

A PROMINENT LADY
Speaks In Highest Terms of Pernna
as a Catarrh Cure.
Mrs. M. A. Theatre , member Re
becca Lodge , lola Lodge ; also member
of Woman's Relief Corps , writes the
following letter from 1838 Jackson ,

Mrs. M. A. Theatre , Minneapolis. MIna.
Peruna Medicine Co. , Columbus , O.
Gentlemen "As a remedy for ca
tarrh I can cheerfully recommend Pe
runa. I have been troubled with
chronic catarrh for over six years. I
had tried several remedies without re
lief. A lodge friend advised me to try
Peruna , and I began to use it faith
fully before each meal. Since then I
have always kept it in the house. I
am now in better health than I have-
been in over twenty years , and I feel
sure my catarrh is permanently
cured. "
Peruna cures catarrh -wherever lo
cated. As soon as Peruna removes
systemic catarrh the digestion becomes
good , nerves strong , ; md trouble van
ishes. Peruna strengthens weac
nerves , not by temporarily stimu
lating them , but by removing the
cause of wpak nerves systemic ca
tarrh. This is the only cure that
lasts. Remove the cause ; mature will
do the rest. Peiimarcnio tf the causa.
Address The Peruna Medicine Com
pany , Cohtrr.bvs , Ohio , for a book
treating of Catarrh in its dh'fersnt
phases and stages , also a hook en
titled "ffeallh end Beauty/ ' written
