To Know Whnt You Are Tnklnnr When
OIiir Cnliirth .Vt'illcluca.
Catarrh Is tho short route to consumption
and the tmportanco of early and Judicious
treatmont of catarrh, whother located in the
head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be
too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures Is as long as the
moral law and tho forms in which they are
administered, numerous nnd confusing, from
sprays, Inhalers, washes, ointments and
salves to powders, liquids and tabletn.
Tho tablet form Is undoubtedly tho most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly ll advertlsod catarrh remedies It Is
almost cntlroly a mutter of guesswork as to
what you aro taking Into your system, as
the proprietors, whllo making all sorts
of claims as to what their medicines will do,
always kcop It a cloto secret as to what they
are.
The succeu and popularity of tho new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablete, Is
largely because it not only cures catarrh,
but because catarrh sufferers who uso these
tablets know what they aro taking Into
their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets bo
Ing comp:sed of Eucolyptol, Hydrartln,
Gualacol and similar valuable and antisep
tic Ingredients, and are pleasant to the tasto
and being dissolved In tho mouth they take
Immedlato effect upon the mucous lining of
the throat, nasal postages and whole re
spiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
havo accomplished In old, chronic cases of
catarrh are little short of remarkable, and
tho advantage of knowing what you are put
ting Into your stomach Is of paramount im
portance when It Is remembered that tho
cocaine or morphlna habit has been fre
quently contracted as the result of using se
cret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cordial
approval from physicians because their anti
septic character renders them perfectly safo
tor the general publlo to use and their com
petition makes them a common sense cure
for all forms of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists cell them at SO cents for full

WASHINGTON, April 30. (Special Tele
gram.) Leaders on the republican side of
thu house, It Is said, have received Instruc
tions from Speaker Henderson to pare ap
propriations to tho bono. Chairman Cannon
of tho houso committee on appropriations
has Intimated to his Intimate friends that It
would be next to Impossible to get nny bill
through at this session contemplating nny
large expenditure of money for cither rive s
or public buildings, and thero la In conse
quent an Inclination to protest against this
decision should It be found to be true. Can
non Is said to have told a friend that tho
contracts on the Missouri rlvnr would be
completed In a very largo part before tho
close of the present fiscal year and hn
doubted If a continuing appropriation would
bo voted at this session. In view of tho
sorlous condition of affairs a failure to mako
tho usual yearly appropriations for the Mis.
sourl River commission would bring about
General Manderson called today on tho War
department to explain the necessity for
appropriating money to keep the Missouri
river within Its present channel at Rulo and
Nobraska City.
Why (he Work Is Wnuled.
In his stntcmcnt, which he filed with tho
secretary of war and General Wilson, chief
of engineers, he states that the Burlington
had built at enormous expense, under con
gressional sanction, three great brldgni over
the Missouri river In Nebraska at Platt'i
mouth, Nebraska City and Rulo. In addi
tion to the cost of the bridges and ap
proaches, running Into many hundreds of
thousands of dollars, tho railroad company
had expended largo sums of money at each
of the places named for riprapplng, revet
ments nnd bulkheads to keep tho Missouri
river within proper bounds. The govern
ment had spent large sums of money under
direction of the Missouri River commission
at tho places named for Improvements cf
the river nnd maintenance of tho channol.
"Unfortunately," says General Mander
son, "money needed for such Improvement
has cot been npproprlatod by congress at
nuch times and In such amounts as to
permit the work to be made secure and In
sure Its permanency, with the result that
no expenditures having been made for sev
eral years. At Rulo and Nebraska City
tho river has cut out and destroyed part
of the government work heretofore con
structed, and unless Immediate steps are
taken will destroy all tho work heretofore
built at a cost of many thousands of dol
lars. Besides this result, there will come
tho practical destrifr-UVi of the coetly
bridges at Rulo and Nebraska City, tbo
forming of a new and dangerous channel
and tho taking by tho river In Its new
course of a large body of valuable land
now used for agricultural purposes."
Cost Is SomelhliiK Sleep.
Attached to tho statement are maps show
ing tho present condition of the revetment
work at both Rulo and Nebraska City and
the encroachment of the water at the
back of the revetments, which. If allowed to
continue, will result in enormous destruc
tion of property and possibly life. Ho nlso
attaches letters from Lieutenant Colonel
Amoa Stlckney, president of the Missouri
Rlyer commission, "who states as ,to Rulo:,
"The river there Is in pretty bad shapo nnd
effective .work would require not less than
$100,000, and perhaps more."
At Nebraska City, Colonel Stlckney says,
the river has commenced to cut behind tho
government stone work, and unless $25,000
Is expended this summer, llko damage will
result as has been done, nnd Is threatened
at Rulo. In view of this emergency. Gen
eral Manderson asked for Immediate con
sideration, which was granted, General
Wilson at once requesting Colonel Stlck
ney to report conditions by telegraph.
Senntor Thurston -will bo nsked to lcok

MR. T0LSTRUP EXPLAINS WHY
His Wife Adopted Chrlsllnn Science
Treatment Only Afler Physlclnns'
Aid Had Failed,
OMAHA, April 30. To the Editor of The
Beo: In Juetlco to raytelf and Christian
Science, I wish to have published the fol
lowing correction of an article headed
"Psychlcnl Remedies Fall," which appeared
In Tho Bee of April 26, and was an account
widely departing from tho facts connected
with my wlfo's death and last Illness. Tho
mlestatcuients In tbo articles are these:
1. That about a year ago my wife becamo
an enthusiastic convert to tbo Christian
Sclcnco faith.
2. That her health was excellent.
3. That her own treatment failed to show
nny result and that neighboring "demon
strators" were then called In.
4. That Dr. Esklldson was summoned a
fow hours before her death.
My wife had been In delicate health dur
ing tho entire tlmo of our married life, a
porlod extending over about ton years;
through that tlmo had been subject to
pneumonic nnd pleuritic affections; had re
quired frequent nttcntlon from doctors and
had regularly taken medicine. Consump
tion was hereditary In her family. For
three yeans before her death she had been
mere than ordinarily sick and had taken
medicine, more or less, all of tho time.
From tho latter part of September to tho
26th of December last year, she was under
tho constant caro of an excollent physician,
our family doctor, and steadily grew worse,
I understood from the doctor, I myself
believed, and I gathered from what my wife
said that sho thought that medicine was
doing her no good and that her case was
hopelctn. Her stomach would not retain
mcdtclno and sho finally refused to take
any more.
About the middle of December a friend,
who had been healed under Christian Sclcnco
treatment, called upon her and recom
mended Christian Science. Together we
considered the recommendation, finally con
cluded to try the fdence treatment and on
December 26 I called upon a Christian
Science healer and asked that she. visit my
wife at our houso and do what could bo
done to help her. Under the healer's man
agement ot tho case for some weeks Im
provement was marked and rapid, and I
began to hope that a cure would be effected,
but there came, after a time, a relapse, and
for about a month before the end there
seemed to be a steady decllno in strength.
From the first the science treatment brought
to her relief from suffengtahd a peaco of
mind which remained constant to the last.
About two weeks before sho passed away
I tried to prevail upon 'her to again try
tho doctors, but she refused, saying they
could do her no gcod; that sho would not
take any moro medicine.
I then consulted Dr. Esklldson, explalne'd
fully to him whnt I know of her case, told
blm that sho was under science treatment
and did not want to give It up and asked
him what, If he wcro situated-as I was, he
would do. Ho answered that ho would re- !
spect her wish and let her die In peace,
that nothing could bo done, that there was
no hope.
About two hours before her death sha
was conscious and realizing, I think, for
tho first time, that eho was dying, said
"I believe I shall not live long," and, with-'
out any suffering, quietly passed away. I
then went for Dr. Esklldson simply to ob
tain from him tiro kind of certificate which
I understood tho law required must be bad.
from a physician before those In chargo ot
the cemetery would permit a body to be
burled.
I do not deem myself open to the Imputa
tion of criminal negligence, because after
all other remedies had for years been tried
and had failed, I, In accordance with her
wish, Recured for her a remedy which came
as highly recommended as did Christian
Science. Though I am not a Christian
Scientist, and 'because I do not understand
It, have not learned to put great faith In
the Science, I, at this time, believe that It
did ber moro good than anything else could
have ilnnn nvrl hir A OTpat deal nf Kllffer-
' Ing and worked In her a wonderful moral
nnd mental change for the better. My feel
ing toward Christian Science and thoso who
gave my wife the benefit of Its treatmont
falls nothing short ot gratitude. With no
desire to cast any slur upon doctors or their
profession, but for tho Information of thoso
who upon reading tho article In Tho Bee,
may havo concluded that I was to blamo
In permitting my wife to try Cnrlstlnn
Science, I state that we have had four
children, two ot whom died while under
the doctor's care; I was assured by doctors
In whoso opinion I bad confidence that
there -was no hope for my wife; I had
known ot countless deaths notwithstanding
the fact that physicians were In attendance
upon thoso who died, and I had heard of
remarkablo cures In Christian Science.
I cannot blame myself for tho course I
took, and hope my friends who may read
this will understand that I did everything
that seemed proper and wise to prolong my
wlfo's life. P. M. TOLSTRUP.

ot smallpox Monday afternoon at 2615
Cuming street, the patient being William
Buford. a colored carpet cleaner, Buford be
lieves that he contracted the malady by dis
tributing the dormant germs In some dusty

tho Infection came from the birber shop
In the Third ward In which three other
negroes were exposed. Buford, as well as
his wife, made vigorous objection to his re
moval to the pest bouse, but as thero aro
eight other Inmates In the hotifc the health
authorities will Insist upon his Isolation.
The health officers are still making uso
ot the five dilapidated election booths as a
pest house, two additional booths having
been taken to the county hospital grounds
last week. The advisory board hrfs com
pleted the repairs on the newly purchased
hospital on West Center street, but all
further proceedings aro delayed by an In
unction. Two proposals have been re
ceived from persons desirous of becoming
tenants of the hospital property and a spe

consider their offers.
The man was removed from his home and

eral run down' and nervousneps. My system soon regains its vitality under the use of
the Dr. Kay's Renovator. There is no tonic cheaper and better. It is an excellent laxa
tive and renovator and I. believe it has strong nervine powers'" Rev. D. H. Rohrabaugh,
Pastor Presbyterian Ohurch, Osceola, Iowa.
