NELSON. Neb.. Aug. 2l.-f8peelnl.)-Th.it
the populism of this uongrcmiloiial
district, urn! especially thoso who were thr
friends of OonKressmnn Sutherland, uro
Kiirprlsed, astounded ami Imwlldereil In
putting It mildly. Many of the friends of
Mr. Suthorland who lnxvo heretofore been
denouncing tho netlons of tho mld-ruud
populists have suddenly cotno to this con
elusion that tho mld-roaders know what
they wero talking nhout and that they
themselves were the ones that wero fooled.
t'ongreHsmati ttiithcrlnnd'H friends eon
flilently relied upon tho support of Chair
man IMmlslcn, iih he has led them to be
llovo he was supporting Sutherland for
renomlnatlon. Now thoy llnd that the Shut
lenbargcr forees had not .only been de
pending upon, but hail nettlally been re
eelvlng Kdmlstcn's hearty support. Since
It Is too lato Sutherland's friends also sec
evldcnco of the "sling of Ingratitude" and
they openly charge that It played an Im
portant part In the turning down of tho
present cengresstnan.
It Is slated upon good authority by
persons generally given credit for knowing
what they are talking about that Just
before IMmlslcn left for Topckn to pre
side over tho meeting whero llryan was
to be notified of having received tho pop
ulist nomination he Issued Ironclad In
Htructloni to every friend of his that was
n delegate to tho congressional convention
that they should eventually como to the
support of Shellenbarger's candidacy; thut
they wore given to understand that they
would bo pel milted to stand out for Suth
erland as long as It would not be ""danger
ous," but that whenever It appeared that
Sutherland might rueelvo the nomination
that they were' to "weaken" and thereby
give strength to tho Shellenbarger move
ment. It Is charged that tho owner of tho
"sling of Ingratitude" and Chairman Kd
mlsten were wokrnlg haml-ln-glovo together
to accomplish Sutherland's downfall. This
Is In lino with (Minimum Kdmlsten's paBt
political history. Sutherland's friends
point to tho fact that Chairman Kdmls
ten supported Hitchcock, a democrat, for
(senator In preference to Allen, a populist.
It has Just dawned upon them also
that I'dmlsten always gives preferenco to
democrats when a contest Is on between
tho democrats and poullsts. During tho
last fow days many of Hdmlsten's friends
In this district have, been challenged to
point to one Instance whero IMmlsten had
taken tho sldo of n populist for nn np
pnltitlvo olllco against n democratic ap
plicant. Alrcndy many of tho supporters of
Sutherland aro beginning to ask when
the mid-road convention will bo held,
which 1h called to meet nt Oxford Sep
tember 13, ami It will not bo surprising
If many of tho delegates who attended
tho convention whero Sutherland was
turned down aro also delegates to tho mid
road convention. It seemed to have never
dawned upon theso people beforo that tho
party organization was being gradually
slipped from under them. Tho populists
of this district have always had a populist
candldato for congress and would not
believe that the party was being led Into
a democratic camp. Tho whnlo matter
" now opens bofore them rind they sco ho
light for tho tlrst time.
It Is safe to say that thero aro more mad
populists In this congressional district
today than in nil the rest of tho stato of
Nebraska. They have not realized until
Just now the predicament into which
they havo been placed. Tho district Is
purely agricultural and 85 per cent of the
voters nre farmers nnd thoy, as tillers of
tho soil, nre now asked to vote, not only
for a democrat, but for a democrat who is a
national banker nnd whose friends nre dem
ocrats of tho old school, many having served
tho administration under drover Clove
land in various appointive positions. Many
populists In this district, regardless of the
past adUlatlons with tho democratic
party, aro ready to support a good, hon
est farmer for congress nnd n number
have given expression to tho belief that
If tho mld-roaders nominate a drst-clnss
man at Oxford tho nominee will recolvo
more votes than will Shollenbarger, tho
democratic national banker. Some even
go so fnr as to claim that a good farmer
candldato nominated ut Oxford could bo
elected.

NKLSON, Neb. Aug. 24. (Special Tele,
gram ) The nomination of a democrat nt
tho Holdrege convention has cast quite a
glcom over many of the populists In this
county. Many of them aro cx-republleans
and they afllllnted with th-j populist party
when It was crgRnlzed bcause thy hon
estly hoped to better their condition In so
doing. Keeent developments have driven
them to the conclusion that they aro only
being used as n means to help democrats
Into olHce. This they cannot and will not
do, and when It comes to making a choices
between republicanism or democracy the
grand old party that protects the flag nnu
brings prosperity to every class of Amer
ican citizens will get their support.

STItOMSncnO, Neb.. Aug. 21. To tho
L'dltor of The Ilee I'olk county Is one of tho
best agricultural districts In tho state, and
that reputation tho county will malntnln
this year alto. Tho crops aro good, plenty
of rain and In good time to "save the crops."
A great number of tho citizens of tho county
aro of Swedish birth or parentage, frugal,
thrifty, conservatlvo anil prosperous. Thoy
are by nature, so to speak, republicans, and
although thero has been a wavering of the
republican ranks for apparently good
leaiions, it seems that this fall they will
loturn to their old party, nnd as good re
publicans onco more help to "snve tho re
public " Tho older ones did that In 'fiO, "fit
anil 'CS, and they nnd their boys will rally
round tho old banner nnd carry It to victory.
They have one of their own nationality, n
sturdy old pioneer, Mr. N. I'. Mult, as a
candidate for representative, nnd they will
evidently do all In their power to get him
elected and feel proud over It. And Irre
spective of tiatlonnl descent or church con
nection every republican will, ns a matter
of eouno, work for him and vote for him,
because he Is a man that can bo rolled upon
for that position. Ho can neither bo bought
nor fooled nor frightened. Mo has had con
siderable cxpcrlcnco In tho work of delib
erating nsHcmblles, for ho has upon sev
eral occasions served ns delegate to tho
meetings of tho conferenco to which his
church belongs nnd was this Bummer dele
gato to tho Augustana synod of North
America at Its mooting at Ilurllngton, In.
Ho has been a member of tho board of di
rectors of Luther academy nt Wahoo and ot
the board of home missions of the Nebraska
conferenco. Me has served as treasurer of
the conferenco for several years nnd ha
besides held many places of trust and honor
In his own community.
Mr. Mult Is a very good English scholar,
although In his education he, llko most ot
tho pioneers, Is a self-mado man. Ho N
giving his children tho advantages of a
college (.'duration. Tho oldest daughter Is
tho wifo of Nov. C. J. Henhard of St. Louis,
Mo., a former Swedcborno boy, nnd one
daughter and one son pursuo their studies
at Luther academy, Wnhoo.
Mr. Mult carries a badge of honor from
tho early days when ho helped to make
I'olk county out of tho great American des
ert. Tho lire llend had broken looso ns an
enemy of civilization, bent upon tho destruc
tion of tho pioneer homes, tho dug-outs nnd
hod houses. Ho fought to rescuo his ngciS
parents from tho clutch of the'estroyer nnd
succeeded In getting them away alive. Hut
they wero to severely Injured that they
both died. Ho himself was also on the
verge of death, but his robust constitution
nnd good nursing helped to bring him out.
Ho carries, however, tho scars from that
fiery battle and they aro to him certainly a
badge of honor. S. M. MILL.

Use Perttna for Catarrhal Derangements.
Mrs. C. M. Duck. 2!2.1 Douglas atrect,
Omnhn, Neb., writes.
"I have used Pcriitm nnd cim
cheerfully rccouimctul it as being
me ucst rcineiiy lor catarrh unci
Kcneral debility that I havo ever
used," Votirs gratefully,
.Mrs C. II. Huck.
Tho symptoms of catarrhal debilltv nre:
A flabby, palo condition of the mucous
surfaces, with n sticky, stringy mucous
secretion, which causes much hnwklug or
coughing, coated tongue, white specks In
the back part of tho throat, and n very
red, ragged appearance of the tonsils.
Ilesldes the usual symptoms of catarrh,
tho patient has brown snecl.s before his
eyes, slight dizziness, runrlng In tho ears,
nttneks of nervous headache, palpitation
of tho hart. Hashes of heat, followed by
slight chilly sensations, falntncss, depres
sion, despondency, forebodings, foolish
fears, nnd mnny other slmllur ones.
In such eases local treatment can do
nothing but harm. Peruna has again and
again been found of great value In theso
cases. The first doso gives prompt relief
to tho most distressing symptoms, nnd a
persistent uso of It for a reasonable length
of tlmo will permanently euro cases of
long standing.
A dose of Peruna before each meal dur
ing tho hot season Is a safeguard of price
less value. Catarrh cannot bo cured by
local treatment. A thorough course of
Internal treatment with Peruna nffords
tho only reasonable prospect of cure.
Sprays, douches, Inhalants and gargles
sometimes relieve but never cure. Peruna
curc.c by removing tho cause. It gradu
ally eradicates tho catarrh from tho sys

LINCOLN. Aug. 21. (Special.) Tho very
general slump In the census of leading
Nebraska cities and towns has given rise
to a fear that tho congressional districts
of tho state may be reorganised and that
Nebraska's representation In congress will
bo decreased by combining tho ninety coun
ties Into Ho districts. Instead of six, ns
nt present. Lincoln and Lancaster will
show a decrease in population and
It is not expected that tho combined
population will bo much moro thnn 70,000.
Ten years ngo It was claimed that Lincoln
had a population of ti.l.OOO and until the
enumerators began taking the rensus
this year any man would havo been re
garded ns Insano who clnlmed n popula
tion of Iims than i:.,000. No olllclal figures
concerning tho population of cither Lin
coln or Lancaster havo been published,
but from various sources which are re
garded ns reliable it Is learned that Lin
coln will not bo credited with a population
of much moro than lo.ono. Figuring tho
general decreaso under thn last census
In tho saiim proportion as tho decreaso in
Omaha, Lancaster county's population will
fall below the 70,000 mark and will conse
quently seriously nffect tho salaries of
several county ollleers. Should the figures
not reach tho mark tho threo county com
missioners will go back to tho Jlt-ner-dav-
nnd-expenscs basis nnd will no lonirer re
ceive $l,sno a year salaries. Provision Is
made for employing oxtra help In counties
having n population of 70,000 or over and
unless thnt mark Is maintained thn cleri
cal forro in several county ofilccs will bo
cut down,

Auditor Cornoll nnd Secretary of Stnto
Porter will probably refuso to approvo
vouchers drawn on tho nnnronrlatlon for
stnto fair premiums, claiming thnt it has
already been exhausted and that there are
no moro available funds with which the
claims can bo paid. Auditor Cornell this
afternoon expressed tho belief that tho
money set apart by tho last legislature
for suite fair premiums hud all boon paid
out of tho treasury. Tho records of his
omco. however, show that only half of
the J 1,000 nppronrlatlnn has been naiil. In
tho secretary of stnto's olllco tho records
snow mat tno entiro amount has been ex
pended. Auditor Cornoll contends that his for-
mer deputy is responsible) for the error
ann mat tno ontlro amount nf a warrant
for ? 1,000 recently Issued should havo boon
charged against tho 1803 nnnrotirlatlnn.
This warrant was Issued In compliance
wun a writ of mnndamus from tho dis
trict court of Lancaster countv nml it vn
supposed to bo against tho ISO" appropria
tion. Ab no fairs woro hold during 1837
or tho year following tho nudltnr refused
to appiove claims against that appropria
tion nnd when tho case was nnnenleil In
tho court tho writ of mnndamus was Issued.
A report Is bolng circulated to tho ef
fect that tho pastor and congregation of
tho First Prcsbvtorlnn church nrn nt va.
rlanco and that tho former's resignation
Is desired by a largo portion of the latter.
The trouble seems to hnvo arisen during
tho Wednesday evening nravcr mootlm?.
when tho pastor, Rov. Hlndmnn, and Mr
itodgman, a university proressor, engaged
In n heated discussion beforo tho congre
gation. When asked this afternoon If thn
congregation had asked him to resign Rov.
Ilindman replied: "It is not on the rec
ords." So far ns can bo learned tho com
plaint ngalnst tho pastor Is that ho pays
too much attention to worldly affairs nnd
not enough to his pastoral duties.

Miss Helen Murphy, a populnr society
womnn of Oshkosh, Wis.. Is nn ardent
friend to Peruna. Tho following Is n
letter written by Miss Murphy, nnd gives
her opinion of Peruna ns n preventive
ns well as cure for catarrhal ailments:
The 1'eruna Medicine Co.. Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "About threo months age I
contracted n severe cold at nn evening re
ception, which settled cm my lungs nml
threatened to be very serious. As my
mother has used Peruna with good results,
sho sent for n bottle for me nnd I found
that It gave mo blessed relief. llefore
the second bottle wns consumed I was well.
"We keep a bottle nf It on hand
all the time and when I hnvo been
out in inclement weather, I tako a
close or two of Peruna and it per
vents my taking any cold and keeps
me perfectly well." Vonr very tru
ly Helen .Murphy.
At least two people out of threo some
tlmo during tho winter months have a
cold more or less severe. Very few, In
deed, escape entirely. Although a cold Is
not often directly fatal, yet It Is the most
productlvo source of Incurnblo diseases
that Is known to tho medicnl profession.
A cold Is. tho most frequent, the most dan
gerous, the most neglected 111 of life.
The treatment of a cold ought tn begin
with the appearance of the first symptom.
Whether the cold has settled In tho head
and produced catarrh or deafness, or set
tled In the throat nnd produced enlarged
tonsils or hoarseness, or settled In the
bronchial tubes and lungs, producing cough
or asthma, or In the pelvic organs, Peruna
Is tho remedy.

Miss Lillian Roenheld. n grndtiste fronr
tho Conservatory of Music. Paris. Is Hit
violin soloist of the Chicago GermnnU
Club. Miss Roenheld used Peruna as n.
tonic when run down by overwork. Shu
speaks of It In tho following glowing
terms:
Chicago, Ml.
The Puruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
Gentlemen "I ennnot give too grent
prolso to I'eruun. Iist winter my nervous
system became so overtaxed from constant
overwork with my violin thnt my right
side seemed partially paralyzed.
"I naturally becamo very nuxtotis and
consulted my physician. After giving inn
a couple of prescriptions without effect, hn
advised tuo to try Perunn, nnd I am glad
to say that It effected a speedy and perma
nent cure.
"Althotirrh the past year has been
a severe tax on me Pcrtinu has kept
ine .strong and vigorous."
Yours Truly,
Lillian Uoenhcld.
The cause of nervousness Is generally
overwork, mental worry, or Impoverished
blood. Anyone with pure, rich blood, who
tnkes not ton much exercise, nor too little,
gets plenty of sleep, knows nothing about
nervousness. Nerxousuess means anaemia
of tho nerve centers. This Is brought nbout
i either by Impure blood or overtaxing the.
nervo centers. Regular habits, good diges
tion and careful aviildance of all excesses
will cure nervousness. In order to securo
these most dangerous things Peruna will
bo found to be of grent assistance. It as
sists digestion, thereby Invlgorntlng tho
nerve centers.
