FREMONT , Neb. . Jan. 21. ( Special. ) Th
damage cas3 of Hensall against the Fremont
Klkliorn & Missouri Valley Railroad com
pany Is progressing slowly and la bcln
strongly contested at every point. Wllllan
Nuvernan , a liveryman at Dodge , waa on th
stand ne-arly all yesterday afternoon. H
testified to seeing the flro very Boon after I
started. It was then burning In some dr
weeds south of a millet ehed which wa
located on the corner of the first block nort !
of the company's track. Ho noticed the barn
and mlllot shed and the flro was then al
south of them and the flames In the burning
grass , which waa about four feet high. I
spread rapidly to the barn nml then to th
hotel on the north , and all through the bus !
ness part of town.
On cross-examination he testified that when
ho first reached the flro there was no on
clso thoro. That It burned very rapidly am
It was Impossible to put It out ,
Henry Starmcr testified that he was en
Blncor at a flour mill which Is situated wes
nnd < i little south of where It la claimed
the flro started. About twenty minutes to
2 on the afternoon of the day of the flr
ho was standing In the doorway of the cngln
room nnd raw an engine doing some switch
Ing In the vicinity of where the flro broke
dirt , and there were sparks coming from the
smoke Black. About two minutes after , whll
ag-iln standing In the doorway of tbo en
glno room , ho heard the flro bell and look
Ing cast ho aaw the blazii south of the mllle
shed. The general direction of the flro wai
toward the northeast. The next morning he
noticed the burning nearest to the company'
track , which he said was south of whore
the millet shod flood. He located the pos !
tlon of the nhed by a ctono at one come
of the building which ho had frequentlj
noticed oeforo. The cross-examination de
voope4jjo ! new.m-aterlal facts.
This afternoon Mrs. Maggie Hertcn was on
the ftand. She testified that rhe was taking
care of a sick sister of hers who lived In
sight of the Nuvcman livery barn nnd the
iihod wiuth ot" It that she heard the alarn
" ' ' '
a"nd lookTrig'o'ut'of the window saw the fire
south of tho. Nuvoman place , substantially a'
described by the other witnesses. Mrs. II
Hertcn testified substantially the same.
Qus Lodlg and Frank Greaser tcstlflnd
that the westbound train which went througl
Dodge about 1:30 : . threw out a good mnn >
oparko and rot a flro near the brick yard.
M. Hart testified that he w-as working or
the track three miles west of Dodge who :
the westbound train threw out n note saylrif
that Dodge wa ? burning up. With the res
of the section men he got on a hand car ant.
went back to Dodge as soon as pnsolble
On their way back they stopped at a pMcr
about two and a half miles west of thr
town and put out a fire which waa burning
north of the company's right of way.
Judging from the trend of the cross-oxami
nation , the defensa will try to show that th
flre originated In Niivernan's barn or at th
millet shed directly south of It. H Is re
ported that they have a witness who wll
awear that the Jlre caught nt the llver >
stable from a cigar stub which he threv
a way.

that I carry1 out the wishes of Its citizens
(
by extending to y.ou a hearty welcome. The
right hand of fellowship Is extended. The
bright flro of each hearthstone greets you

Wo know your mission nnd the patriotic
sentiment that prompts your actions , the
rnoro than charitable Impulse .that Impels
your devotion to lives and Interests of others
without , hope , of reward except that of duty
berforrned. I know of no calling more de
void of selfishness. It combines the charity
of nobls women who glvo their lives to the
aid and comfort of the poor nnd lowly with
tlio patriot who risks his lite In defense
of his country , yet I have often thought
how little are flreboys' efforts appreciated
uy tnoso Cjverr whose Interests are most sc-
cure-ly guarded men whose llfo work Is all
In tholr keeping.
ALL TIIADBS REPRESENTED , j
"You nro Composed of men of all trades
and callings and can draw upon each other
for Informntlbn , and thus judgment of all
will be strengthened and minds brightened.
Your coming together Is like unto the meet
ing of the Kornan populace to devise means
fcr their mutual advancement. Discussion
is to the growth ot truth and principle what
sunshlno and tho'sower are to the growth of
the plant. In these discussions the best
moans for the carrying out of your mission
will be brought to light nnd the law of the
survival of the IHtMt adopted : so do not
be In haste to depart. Our flreboys , with
the assistance of our generous citizens , will
provide for your entertainment and the po
lice will wink tire other eye. Our hotels
are second to ncne The freedom of the
city Is yours. Thanking you for selecting
this , the beat city Irr the state , as your

IU.UU SPRINGS , Neb. , Jan. St. ( Special
Telegram. ) The excitement caused by tha
recent failure of the Blue Springs bank cul-
mlt-nlcd today In the arrest of J. C. Wil
liams , president , for embezzlement. The
particular charge was founded on a discrep
ancy between the bank books and those of
the county treasurer , the latter showing
about $1,000 more county money In the bank
than there was entered on the bank books.
SI crlff Nehon took his prisoner to Beatrice
befero 'Squlro Knlow , who held him under
bends for preliminary examination ,
From facts ascertained recently It ap
pears that there Is no possibility of reor
ganization , the amount necessary to place
the bank on n sound footing being estimated
nt $40,000 , not the half of which could be
raised here , and nothing remains but to ap
point a receiver.
A committee appointed by the creditors to
Investigate reports that the- available assets
of the bark amount to about $7,000 or $8,000 ,
to iwxy $21,000 of deposits and about $3,500
collections made but no\er remitted by the
bank , the remaining nominal assets consistIng -
Ing of worthless notes and accounts , some of
which have run many years. Of the bank
stock $14.000 was held by President Williams.
$1,000 by A. W. Cross , $100 each by four
others and the remaining $2,000 by ono
Page , who has been away from hero for
years nnd owes the bank nbnnt the amount
of his stock. Some $ B,000 or $0,000 of notes
listed on the books cannot be found at all
and about $0,000 of bank stock has disap
peared.
At the meeting tonight O. E. Bishop was
scltcteil by the depositors for receiver , nnd
a petition for his appointment will bo pre
sented to the court. Aside from the crlmln.il
action already begun It Is raid that much
crooked work In the management has been
unearthed. Much distress Is felt among the
people here , most of whom had money In
this bank for their support nnd are left
without resources , few believing that any
thing will ever be realized from the bank.

Superintendent Jlorgan of the letter car
riers' division of the Now York poatonico.
has recommended a thorough test of the extract -
tract by the army of letter carriers of the
Now York postoftlco. In accordance with
Superintendent Morgan's , .siiggostlon , John
M. Parsons , president of thq Letter Carriers'
association , has conducted tests , which have
been attended with the Inont.ratlsfaclory re
sults. "I have tried "
Vlno-Kolafra. ruld Mr.
Morgan , "and have found It to bo undoubt
edly a good thing. Wo have letter carriers
In the New Yoik postonlco engaged In col
lection work who have to rnako olght trips a
day , of sixty blocku per trip , or twenty-four
miles dully. These carriers have more ar
duous work to do at the present tlmo than
soldiers , and , therefore , Vlno-Kolafra Is just
the thing for them. It Is especially valuable
for letter carriers with long routes
, on ac
count of Its sustaining properties , but , of
course , it Is of value to all who do any hard
work. "
Kolafra appears to bo an nonlntoxlcatlns
stimulant , which differs from other stimu
lants In that It adds at oacb to the sum total
of nervous force available for uso. Instead of
merely enabling the immediate ( and per
haps wasteful ) expenditure- energy drawn
In advance from what will bo needful for the
requirements of tomorrow. In other words ,
no reaction attends Its use. It is a cash de
posit , not a discounted draft.
In the form of
Vlno-Kolafra It conserves ,
not merely shifts energy ; R becomes a fly
wheel to the human engine , restraining the
excessive action of the siipercxclted ami
bringing the sluggish up to a normal i-peed.
For this reason the medical Journals are
recommending Its mo to the weak , ex
hausted and convalescent. In addltl6n It
acts as a prompt antidote to the effects' of
alcohol , and s.itlbflos the craving for liquor
and for morphine , etc. , without causing any
Injurious etfects.
The same qualities render It uwful to the
invalid. The usofi of Vlnb-iICalofra , the most
convenient form of prepdrln/r / "Hie mil In
order to preserve Its full stimulant and tonic
value , are Indicated by the following :
The New Kngland Medical Monthly states
editorially : "Tho medical profession in theao
sections has long recognized In It a great
aid In performing feat of labor , tests of
strength , or nustalnlng life in disease.
Aside from its value to the brain and muscle
worker. It Is Invaluable In the sick room ; It
helps tide over the crisis of iIlRp.iso , , ,
sustain the strength of a dlscaso-cxhauuted
system. In shocks due to accidents , trauma-
tlsm , operations , Byncopo or fright , It Is of
great value , and will prove the surgeon's
friend as well as the physician's. In nervous
prostration and nervous Irritation It Is of In
estimable value. It is clileacious In cardlao
affections , especially smoker's heart. "
The Quarterly Therapeutic Hevlew says of
the stcrciilla ( botanical name ) nut : "It Is
said to remove directly the stupidity and 1111-
t-tcadlness of drunkenness. It Is an excel
lent nerve tonic , and will enable a man to go
without food and support great fatlguo for
twenty-four hours or more. It Is a wonderful
tonic and stimulant. When used regularly ,
sleep Is sound and restful , while a feeling of
brightness and activity is prevalent during
the wokliig hours. It Is n cardiac and cere
bral btlmulant. In migraine and nervous
headaches it has been rcpoatodly proved to
ho bcnollc'al. Its result : ' In the treatment
of neurabthenla. diarrhoea and seasickness
have been good. In torpidity of the liver
Jt excites that organ and accelerates the flow
of bile. In Indigestion It promotes alimen
tation by dissolving the mucous'clots and re
moving debris from the Intestines. In short ,
It Is the wfcty vnlvo of bodily mechanism ,
preserving and restoring energy and utilizing
tissue waste. In this respect It differs vastly
from all 'other beverages and stimulants In
that It preserves latent energy , obtaining Its
powers by utilizing the waste of solid tlsw ;
matter. "
Dr. E. II. Smith , president of the Wayne
County Medical society , saya : "It augmonU
the secretion of the digestive fluids. It helps
In overcoming the Indigestion common to
drunk-mis , and Is of exceptional value In de-
llrlnm tremens. "

rapeutic arsenal can place In the handa of
ItH practlcnors. " Ho recommends Its use In
tubercular diarrhoea , where there Is Intesti
nal ulceratlon.

eight Brazilian negroes to carry a load with
difficulty , four Aftlcan porters carry It chocr-
fully , i-tnglng us they ascend a hill and
chanting thu whole tlmo ati they trudge
