Ho Is a brick nnd stone contractor and has many contracts on hand. As he has considerable money standing out .n Hastings and Is not known to bo owing anybody he could not have gene to avoid financial troubles. VnilAI. fAMMDATHH roll CIIIKI' .

Some of the Insurance men In the city have attempted to secure lilt re moval on previous occasions nnd a strong effort Is now being made to place another man In the position. Some of the most dis astrous fires In the history of Lincoln have occurred since Wcldman took charge of the fire department and thoee who are now working against his rcappolnlmcnt allege ho badly managed at least two or three of them. There are several candidates for the posi tion and the suspension from duty of ono ot them yesterday by Chief Weldman has given rise to the statement that the present incumbent Is seeking to compel ono of them to withdraw from the race by laying him off temporarily. Captain Stopher of engine house No. 3 , who Is a ntrong'candidate for the position , and Lieutenant Tracy of the central station , were laid oft for , as Chief Weldman said , "tho good ot the cause. " Thn chief charges Uyit at a recent file Stophor laid a short hose , connecting with a wrong hydrant. Wcldman says there is ab solutely no truth In the statement that ho suspended Stopher because ho was n candi date for hla omco Stopher , however , de nies the charges made by the chief and an nounccs hla Intention of continuing as a candidate. Another candidate who has re ceived the support of a largo number of Insurance men and property owners.

The Board of Education last night recon sidered Its former action In desicnatjng the High school auditorium as the place where the commencement exercises of the High school shall hereafter bo held.

Until this year none of the school rooms In the city were large enough to accommodate the number of people who dcflro to attend the exercises. The audi torium In the new High school building has a seating capacity nearly as largo as the opera house , but the students thought the event of sufficient Importance to warrant hiring a theater and their wish was gratified by the board. Dr. Fletcher L. Wharton , pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church , has been asked to deliver the com mencement oration.

LAST GASP OF HOLD-UP GANG Another Effort Made to Regain Control by Seating Broatch as Mayor , ASKS COURT TO REVERSE ITS DECISION lpxiprnlnn of lIcrdmniiHcn in Oe n Mn > orV7io Will Let Them llrnvu Thrlr IllncUnuilllMK Otrrn- | tlonn oti I.mvlcx * LINCOLN , Mny 2. ( Special Telegram. ) An attempt v\ns made before the supreme court this morning to reopen the llroatch- Moores ca e. The attornejs for llroatch ap peared nnd filed n motion lo reinstate the case , to sot aside .the order of dismissal , nnd that the court enter Judgment of 'ous ter "In accordance with the findings and opinions of mcmbcis of this court. " The motion \vns accompanied by a brief containing the arguments In the case. A flvc-mlnuto argument was made by the at torneys on each side of the case. In tlio meantime Attorney Breckenrldgc , for Moorcs , will tnlto tlmo to fllo a brief In answer to the ono filed this morning by Hansom nnd Wright. The motion filed by the relater states that a majority of the court once decided the case on the findings of the referee and that the final order of the court In dismissing the case was baied on n law that Is unconstitutional and void. The argument In the brief filed this mornIng - Ing sa > s in part : "It will be observed that wo are not at this tlmo seeking to change the opinion of any member of this court upon any of the propositions which ate pre sented in this case , but wo are sltuply in sisting that the Judgment shall be entered In accordance with the opinions of the va rious decisions relating to this matter. Wo are Insisting that the opinion of the ma jority of the court on any separate proposi tion shall be controlling on the court and that a dismissal of an action shall not bo had by reason of the opinion of a minority of the court. For this reason \\o are not applying for n new trial , because It Is not anew now trial or a rehearing which wo desire , but our application Is In the nature of a motion for a judgment upon the special findings. " > eiv 1'nliitn Mmlc. The principal now point made In the brief Is a request for a judgment of ouster on the ground that the only claim of the re spondent to his office is under and by virtue of chapter xv of the Session laws of 1897 , which Is the present city charter of Omaha. This charter is said to bo unconstitutional nnd void for the reason that the provisions therein with reference to the election of a police magistrate and with reference to the appointment of a flro and police commis sion are void and they are so Integral a part of and acted as an Inducement for the passage ot the said charter that the entire net is unconstitutional. This part ot the motion is supported by very specious argument , in which it is set up that Justice Norvnl dissented In the case In which the validity of the Omaha charter was upheld and that because of his dissent he now is not justified in holding for any officer relying upon that charter for his title. If this contention of the attorneys for Broatch should be upheld tt would not only displace the mayor holding under the pres ent charter , but all the other officers who hold under that charter and reinstate Broatch and all the city officials who were legislated out by the How ell-Ransom bill. A peculiar part of this motion is that Ransom , ono of the chief sponsors of. , the charter in the legislature , attaches his name to the brief attacking Its constitutionality.

Mrs. Eliza Wlko says : "I would bo In ray grave now if it had not been for your God-sent remedy , Pe-ru-na. Every body says I am looking so much better. No doctor could help me as Po-runa did , I was a broken down woman. It is now seven years past that I was cured , " Mrs. Sarah Gallitz of Luton , Ia. , also u rites : "I was suffering with the changu of life , I dad spells of flowing every two or three weeks which would leave me nearly dead. I had given up hope of be ing cured when I beard of Dr. Hartnian'a remedies and began to use them , I am rntircly cured and utvo all the credit to Po-ru-na and Mau-a-lln. " A healthy woman is becoming more and more rare. But comparatively few women who are suffering with catarrh know that this is the case. Tticlr trouble is called dyspepsia , heart trouble , female weakness , weak lungs , nervous debility ; Indeed , al most the whole category of medical term has been applied to catarrh of some organ of tlio female anatomy. If these women would only realize that tholr trouble Is probably catarrh of the organs , peculiar to women or pelvic organs , and euro themselves with Po-ru-na , how much tin * necessary suffering would bo saved. Mrs , G. C. Worstell , Clarksburg , W , Va. . writes the following letter to Dr. Hartmaii. This Is only ono of the hundreds of similar letters which the doctor receives from thankful women. Mrs. Worstell says ; " 1 trust that no ono will think from this that I want my name in public from any cause only to let sufferers know where they may find relief fiom many ailments. I can truly say I have been much benefited by the use of Pe- ru-na. I feel bet ter than I have for two years. It is the best medi cine that I know for female troub les. I have taken medicine from the doctors nnd found no relic ; , but when I be gan taking Pe- ru-na I could see that before I had taken the first bottle it was doing mo good. I recommend It to all suffering women. I think It Is the best medicine In the world. I can't eay enough in Its favor. You can publish this if you like , " D ; .
