The real rough
rider is the man
who rides the river
with a twisting,
squirming log for
a saddle, on which
he stands, balanc
ing himself to its
every motion. If
his coolness fails
or his nerve gives
way, disaster ami
death reach out
for him.
It's the giving
w ay of the
"nave" which
proves fatal to so
many a man. Per
haps he is simply
crossing the street,
as he has done ten
thousand times. He hearsa shout, stops,
hesitates, gets " rattled " and is run over.
When a man finds that his memory plays
him false often, when he starts off to get
something and forgets what he went for,
when he snows he has locked the front
door and yet an irritating uncertainty
compels hnn to get up and verify his
knowledge, then that man is in dan
ger at any minute when confronted by a
trilling danger. He is unnerved.
This condition can be perfectly cured
by the use of Dr. Pierre's Golden Med
ical Discovery. It strengthens the stom
ach, nourishes the nerves, and purifies
the blood. It contains no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant.

Tho men had fought two minutes and six

head and Jeffords went down.
Itefcroe Hogan counted him out nnd It
was several minutes before ho recovered
Biiniclcntly to talk. Then ho claimed a foul,
saying Sharkey hit him In tho breakaway
although thoy bad agreed to break clean.
Tho referee, however, refused to entertain
bis "kick" nnd awarded the light to Sharkey.
There was no preliminary fiddling when
the gong started tho first round. Tho men
met In tho center of tho ring and mixed It
! from the start. As they camo to a clinch
both nil piicd and fell to tho floor.

Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt
ON 30 DAYS' TRIAL.
Tor thirty years I have been
the confidential atlviser of thou
ands of sufferers in all parts of the
world. I have devoted my life to
the careful study of Nervous De
bility and weaknesses of men and
women, from whatever cause. I
have made a life study of electro
therapeutic appliances and have
restoretl over a hundred thou
sand men and women to physical
strengtli and vigor with my world
renowned Dr, SAN DEN ELECTRIC BELT
The use of Galvanic Electricity,
Electric Suspensory for Men; with all Belts.
Why should suffering ones hesitate to try this cure by natural means ? a cure based on nature's laws. Of
course there are thousands who are as yet unacquainted with the value of my great discovery, and to these I
say I have decided for a time to allow my latest and most improved 1900 Model licit to be taken on

At last night's meeting of the Hoard of
education Attorney Nolan repcrted upon the
legality of the proposed bond proposition
for a new High sthool bnlldlng. All tho
legal requirements were noted In the opin
ion, tho ono of most Importance being tho
necessity for a petition. In case the tax
payers of South Omaha desire to vote bonds
for tho erection of a High school It Is neces
sary for a petition, signed by taxpayers, to
bo presented to the Hoard of Education. The
board then, and not till then, can submit the
question to a vote of the people.
It was I
the Intention to bring this question up at
lThlay night's meeting of tho Commercial
club nnd debate the issues there, but un
less a petition asking for the erection of
such a building Is filed between now and
Friday tho matter will not be brought up
again this week. Those who favor the erec
tion of a High school assert there will be
no dlfllculty In securing a petition contain-
nK enough slcnatures. nnd the proposition
nlny yet be voted on at tho April election.
Superintendent Wolfe reported that the
night school Is dwindling in attendance, only
fifteen pupils now receiving Instructions In
each room. The question of discontinuing
tho night school has been left with tho
trachcrs' committee. Dr. Wolfe Plated that
, the attendance at Highland school had fallen
off until only about 130 pupils were present
at tho dally sessions. The fear of small
pox In that locality tends to keep pupils
nway trom tho school, but as all danger has
passed now, It Is expected that parents will
allow their children to resumo their studies.
A statement fro.u Treasurer Ilroadell
shows that since May 1 of last year tho
Hoard of IMuratlon has expended J77.S3S.
The sum of ?u0,C9C was received from liquor
licenses and S5 per cent of tho 1S99 levy
amounted to $31,117. a total of $S1.S70. War
rents drawn slnco the completion of the
report, February 13, reduces tho balance on
hand to $2,003. Treasurer Hroadwcll also
submitted a statement showing tho name of
each of the eighty-seven persons holding
saloon licenses. It Is asserted that four
saloons are operating without a license nnd
Fnme steps to collect that money for the
school district mny be taken. Taxes to the
amount of $1,200 are duo and most likely
will bo paid as soon as the condition of
the funds warrant.
President Roberts staled early In the even
ing that he had learned that a petition was
to be presented against the naming of the
new Twentieth street school. A delegation
from tho Second Ward Improvement club was
on hand to combat any arguments made
in favor of rescinding tho board's action
In the naming of tho school after Joseph
Jungmann. At the request of a number of
members of this club Edward Roscwatcr at
tended the meeting and spoko briefly of the
achievements of Jungmann In the literary
world. Ho snld that all countries ac
knowledged great men regardless of their
nationality and for that rcascn he hardly
thought any particular section could object
to recognizing nny great historian nnd
writer. Member Hrennan called attention
to tho fart that one of Omaha's schools was
named after a learned man of foreign birth
nnd be opposed nny change In the name al
ready given the school. After tho delegation
from the Second ward departed W. H. Cheek
and C. L. Talbot appeared with the petition
mentioned by President Roberts. The peti
tion was placed on file and It Is understood
that no change In the name of the school
will bo made.
Miss Etta Reed filed an application for n
position as teacher and this was referred
to tho teachers' committee.

The nine prisoners who have been con
lined In tho city Jail for the Inst sixteen
days were brought Into police court Mon
day afternoon nnd tho majority discharged.
These prlsonets were in Jail when tho
smallpox broke out there and were quar
antined. Sanitary Inspector Montague de
elded that there was no danger and con
sequently he suggested the release pf tho
prisoners. Ed Weldon wna the only one
who was being held on a serious charge
and bonds for bis appearance were readily
obtained. Weldcii struck H. F. iMcCIellnnd
at the cooper factory a fortnight ngn nnd is
held on a complaint charging assault with
intent lo kill. As iMcCIellnnd has been at
work for n week It Is not thought tho pros
ecution will amount to much. When the
prisoners bad all left the Jail Inspector
Montaguo gave H a thorough fumigation
In order to prevent nny posslbln spread of
tho disease. It Is not considered that there
Is any danger from tho Jail, as no signs of
smallpox havo appeared In over two weeks.
Now clothing has been provided by the
municipal authorities for those confined and
after the prison Is fumigated It will bo
ready for the reception of prisoners tho
snme as usual.
It Is expected that the quarantine nt tho

the patients at the pest house arc doing

similar to tho subjoined aro received by

and they rcupectfully request you to
rend this. Our word for It, you will not
tegrct It.
In 1SSI 1 was told by two of tho best
physicians In Iloston, Dr. W nnd Dr.
H , that I could not expect to llvo a
year; that I had Hrlgbt's Disease. At that
tlino I heard of a man who was supposed to
havo been nt death's door, and was stop
ping, or dying, nt the Commonwealth hotel
mow tho lntiphnm) at the south end ( I
Hoslon. Ills wife, in reading to blin,
came across a Warner advertisement nnd gol
a bottle of tho Safo Cure. Iler husband
commenced to take the medicine, saying
nothing to his doctor until after two or
three weiks. Ills water oonmiciirod ta
show Flgus of Improvement nnd the man
was ablo to get up and walk about. When
ho found that he was really getting bet
ter, ho told tbo doctor what ho hud dona
and dismissed him, continuing tho medi
cine, nud in three months this dying mini
was about his usual duties, thoso of an
expressman, and mh dually cured. On tho
strength of this cure 1 got a bottlo ami
dropped all oilier medicine. My doctoin
sent mo to Kansas, as a good placo to go,
out of their Jurisdiction, and to die. They
gave my wife medicine to carry, enough to
last me until I should die, and which I
left at home. I e. riicd one lUucn boltlen

amine my water every day, nnd after it
week bo found Improvement, and honestly
acknowledged that I was on the road to re
covery. And I did recover, although it
took a long time becaue 1 was badly off.
and I took over 100 bottles In tho courso ot
a year and a half or two years. Theso facta
can bo proved by nny one who knew mo
then, and 1 will willingly write to any ono
