August 20, the World-Herald prints an nrtlelc relating to tho claims of Fusion Nomlneo Hayward for election to tho state aetintc. The nrtlclo was undoubtedly cither written by Hayward or dictated by him, as it bears on Its faco evidence of his handiwork as well as containing pledges he could not well ignore If he should be elected. This article says we need legis lation to make (he stealing of calves a felony. If .Mr. Hayward will examine tho Nebraska code ho will find this law Is already there and that It was placed there at the Instance of his republican opponent, John It. Vnn Posklrk. Mr. Hayward Also Kays that at present It must be shown that tho value of cattle stolon Is $3." be fore conviction for felony can bo had. Hero ho Is wrong again. The law as it, stands doea uot consider the valuo of the cattle stolen. This chango was also secured by John H. Van llosklrk. Mr. Hayward wants a brand law passed. Such a law Is al ready on tho books, written by Allen O. Fisher, republican cnnilidnto for tho legis lature, with tho assistance of John It. Van llosklrk. What, then. Is the need of sending Mr. Hayward to the senate to enact laws that are already on tho statuto books, put there by the nun ho hopes to defeat? Mr. Hayward claims now to bo a stock mnu. He may own cattle, but his business Is that of a merchant nnd ho Is not a member of tho Stock Growers' association, of which Mr. Vnn llosklrk Is secretary, al though ho might have become a mombor at any time theso last bIx years by ad dressing a letter to John II. Vnn llosklrk, secretary of tho Stock association, Alllnnce, Neb., nnd dropping a few dollars In the slot to assist in promoting their Interests and punishing cattle thieves In nil parts of this district. If Mr. Hayward Is honest In his sayings regarding the Importance of tho stockmen's interests in this district' he will nt once withdraw from the race nnd assist In the unanimous election of John It. Van llosklrk, tho best friend tho stockmen have ever had In Nebrnakn. John It. Van IloHklrk organized tho Htock nicn's association six years ago, worked four years with only n nominal Halary until It grew from almost nothing, until today It represents more than $4,000,000 of Inter ests and hns hundreds of raumbors. John H. Vnn llosklrk assisted in passing the laws named which made n felony tho stealing of cattle regardless of their value, haB attended almost every prosecution of cnttlo thlovca In this district and seen them go over the road by dozens nnd which has practically made cattle na Bafo from thieves as a gold dollar Is behind, a tlino lock. Tho brand law, known to stockmen as tho "Fisher law," was written upon tho advice of John It. Van Itoskirk. Only a few days slnco a very prominent mnn n n Kreat county In this state was nccused of caltlo stealing nnd upon a preliminary hearing was bound over to tho district court In tho sum of JS.000. This snows tne interest mat is ncing maniicsieu In our stock interests and strikes terror to evil doers. John It. Van llosklrk nsslstcd In tho or ganization of the Nnttonal Llvo Stock association at Denver and dclivsred an address which was published In almost all western papers. At Fort Worth. Tex., last spring, John R. Vnn llosklrk delivered a brilliant ad dress nnd made a great fight against tho passago of a resolution endorsing the leas ing of public lands. His everyday life Is spent In the Interest of stockmen nnd tho association which be organized and today Is Its secretary and certainly knows more nbout tho wonts of stockmen than any man who deals In dry goods, boots nnd shoes. Mr. Hayward mny own somo cattle. Wo have servant girls, clerks, doctors, drug cists, lawyers, conductors, railroad men of all branches, widows, old men and many others that own some cattle, but they aro In tho caro of Just such men ns John R.

Tho Mall and Express contains the following today It Is said In Wall street today that the presidency of the Southern Pacific would be offered to President M. E. Ingalls of tho Big Four road, who Is n Vanderbllt ally. No one rould be found who would positively confirm or deny tho Ingalls' rumor, but It was declared with some show of authority that neither Mr. 11. :. Hunt Ington nor Mr. Tweed would succeed the late C. P. Huntington. Theso two, how ever, nro provided for In the latest deal reported. Each Is to retain his present position Mr. Huntington ns first vice president nnd active manager In tho west, and Mr. Tweed as second vice president and confidential nttorney In this city. Tho selection of Mr. Ingalls would bo another movo In tone with the nlleged Vnn dcrbllt plnn to weave all the railroads of America Into one vast system under n single head. The Interests that are bringing the narao of Mr. Ingalls to the front control a ma jority of tho stock and could have de throned Mr. C. P. Huntington ut nny tlmo within the last few years, but they be lieved ho hnd earned tho position he held and declined to humiliate him. A reporter for tho Associated Press questioned Mr. C. H. Tweed, who wns Mr. Huntington's confidential adviser, as to the various stories concerning tho South ern Pacllle presidency. "Tho directors will not trieet until noxt week," said Mr. Tweed, "and while several names have been Informally mentioned. I think I am safe In saying no one has been decided upon definitely." A dispatch to tho Herald from Lon don says: Collla P. Huntington's suc cessor ns president of tho Southern Pacific railway will not be any mnn now Idcntllled with the management of that road. Now thnt tho great railroad builder Is dead, tho Interests which for aovcral years controlled tho majority of tho stock of tho Southern Pacific propose to take u moro active part In tho operation of tho system. Tho first step to bo taken Is the Injection of new blood Into tho management. This ncwa comes from an authorltntlvo source. Charles H. Tweed, who was tho confidential ndvlscr of Mr. Huntington, and who now holds tho position of second vice president, Is mentioned In New York na tho probable successor to Mr. Huntington. Mr. Tweed, It can be stated, will not bo mndo president of tho Southern Pacllle. While his worth Is appreciated by the con trolling Interests, It Is felt thai the road will bo greatly benefited by tho Infusion of new methods. Mr. Tweed will have, how over, a prominent placo In the management. Tho presidency of tho .Southern Pacific will bo offered within a day or two to ono of tho ablest railroad men In America, a man who Is now president of ono of the greatest ronds In tho cast. Although he has a very comfortable berth where ho Is, It Is belloved ho will bo glad to, round off his railroad career by taking the moro Important post left vacant by Collls P. Huntington. When Mr. Huntington wns pinched In tho panic of 1SD3 ho wns forced to let go a largo part of his securities to raise ready money. Messrs. Speycrs advanced him largo sums. The Southern Pacific stock which they then obtained, together with tlielr recent purchases, gave these bankers a controlling Interest In the road. While Mr. Huntington was allvo Messrs. Speyers were content to keep him In the presidency, although they believed a chango In tho management of tho Southern Pacific wns advisable. While, James Speycr was in Europe news cnm'e of Mr. Huntington's death. Thu question of naming his 'successor wns at onco discussed. Mr. Speyer and his brother, Edgar, after considering tho quali fications of several railway men, none of them now with the Southern Pacific, hit upon an eastern man. HYMENEAL lleitiorent-Worlpy.

The extreme sensitiveness of the mucous lining of every organ of a women!s body is well known to physicians. This explains why, in part at least, so few women are entirely free from catarrh. A vast multitude of women have found Peruna an indispensable remedy. It meets all their irregularities, critical periods, and peculiar weaknesses. Everywhere the people, especially the women, are praising Peruna as a remedy for all forms of catarrhal difficulties. Send for free catarrh book. Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. from here.
