LINCOLN', Sept. 10. (Special.) O. W
IJrewster of Lincoln was placed In nomina
tion for congress In tho First district this
afternoon by tho mid-road populists, who
met In this city. Tho announcement of the
chairman was that fourteen votes were cast
for Mr. Urowstor and four for J. L. Knott,
It was urged by soveral that the meeting
was not legal. lacking tho number required
by law, but n paper bearing the declaration
of nrlnclnlos was naascd around and re-
celvod over thirty signatures. To guard
against tho possibility of Illegality tho coa-
ventlon was adjourned to meet again at tbo
call of tho president.
Although tho meeting had been Illy ad-
Ttrtlscd, no ono being ablo to una a paper

CnmlMnti-n Arc Plentiful
A number of nnmes wero placed beforo
the convention for the honor. Colonel
Itoberl Mcllcynolds In an eloquent speech
placed J. L. Knott of Lincoln beforo the
convention. C. M. Clark protested, saying
Lancaster county Is hoggish In everything
and ho thought It proper that tho honor
should go to sotno other county. Ho sug
gested tho namo of I). W. I'lerson ot
Nemaha county. This was a happy thought
for Brewster, who Immediately withdrew
In favor of l'lcmon, but it was pointed out
that Plorco was ineligible, slnco ho Is a
presidential elector on tho mid-road ticket
Browster'a namo was therefore brought
hack beforo tho convention, making It a
fight botween two Lancaster county as
pirants, Tho result announced by tho chair
man was gleaned from n rising vote.
J. L. Knott was chairman of the meet
ing nnd Dr. llrcwstcr secrotnry. Prof. J.
A. llovco of Kearney originally, called tho
meeting to order. Ho drafted a Bcrles of
resolutions and asked thoso present to sign

signatures ho meant for use provided any
ono should protest against tho nominee
being given a placo on tho official ballot.
Tho resolutions declared: First, for direct
legislation; second, for government owner-
hip of utilities, and third, agnlnst fusion

LINCOLN. Sept. 10. (Special.) Albert
Hetties, who took beladonna last night In
an attempt to ceaso all worldly troubles
nd Induced pretty Florence Vorls to par
take of tho same poison on the plea that
It would savo her from seasickness on a
contemplated voyage, awoke from his stupor
this evening, only to find that his troubles
had multiplied and that in nil probability
the charge of seduction and attempted mur
der would bo filed against him tomorrow.
Tho story of the climax In the man's life
nnd the Incidents leading up to It read like
modern melodrama. Two years ago n
homeless wanderer, he was given lodging
nt the home of Row tl. A. Vorls at Mem
phis, Neb. Mr. Vorls was attracted toward
tho man and so was his dnughtcr, Florence.
Hetties appeared fairly well educated and
was ordained minister of the gospel by
his benefactor.
Tho friendly sentiment between Mr. Vorls
and his pupil gradually died, however, when
It becamo npparent that there was a
stronger bond of sympathy between Jessie
nnd tho newly made minister. Ho wns
driven from Memphis and tho daughter
djured to havo nothing whatever to do
with him. She followed hlm to Omaha,
however, where she has a brother. Hetties
nduced her to go there on tho pretense thnt
$3,000 check would reach hlm at thnt
point. The check failed to appear, so she
returned home, promising her parents she
would have nothing more to do with him.
This vsas about a year ago.

Florenco came to Lincoln last June nnd
as been employed here since that tlmo.
Hetties enmo hero last Thursday nnd the
couple took rooms of J. H. Romlnc nt Twen
tieth and O streets, representing themselves
o bo man aud wife. Ho hud a trunk on
which ho said 55 cents storage was due.
Io borrowed enough money to pay this nnd
5 cents in addition. On this sum the couplo
lived until last night. Kleven cents were
found In his possession this morning when
his clothing was searched.
Hetties purchased the drug last Thursday
evening, telling both Florence nnd Romlnc
that It was a preventive for seasickness.
ast evening, after drinking half the con-
tents of the bottle ho Induced her to
swallow tho remainder. Hoth were In n
scml-consclous state when discovered by
Mr. Romlne. A physician was nt once
called. The girl recovered rapidly. Her
parents wero called by telephone this marli
ng and sho went homo with her mother
this afternoon. Tho father remained to
oversee the prosecution of the betrayer of
his daughter.
The girl said, when questioned this morn
ing, that sho was going to Kngland with
Uettlcs. She produced u letter her lover
claimed to have received from n sister at
Rrondstairs, England, telling him of the
death of n brother and a prospective es
tnto that would be his so soon ns he could
come to claim It. IJcttlos represented that
he expected a check by tomorrow and that
he and Florenco would nt once start for
Now York.
Ills Prolinlile Motive.
Tho motive of the mnn in attempting the
life of hi sweetheart In addition to his
own Is but n matter of surmise. Opinions
differ. Some say he wns at tho end of his
resources and nothing remained but star
vatlon and loss of his love. Rather than
suffer thus he would take both lives
Another theory Is that ho was merely In
sanely Jealous of her. Yesterday, shortly
after the noon hour, while they were walk
ng tho street together, she was stopped
by a gentleman friend, who asked her to
accompany him to the park. Sho said to
Hetties afterward:
'What would you have done, Albert,
should I havo gone with him?"
"I would havo killed you both," he re
plied.
Still others are of tho opinion that he
know It would be but n short time until
no would nave to faco hrr angry parents
and rather than this he resorted to ihc
methods used. The question nf tha Eng
land estnte la also a subject of conjecture.

Golden NeSica I
Discovery
"I had suffered from indigestion,
and only those who have suffered
from it know what it really is,"
writes Mrs. M. J. Kagan, of 1613
East Genesee Street, Syracuse,
N. Y. "I had severe attacks of
headache and dizziness with cold
hands and feet; everything I ate
distressed me, bowels were consti
pated, and I was growing very thin
and nervous. I cannot half ex
press the bad feelings I had when
I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. I took
nine bottles of the ' Discovery ' and
several bottles of the ' Pellets.' I
commenced feeling better with the
first bottle, and kept on improving.
Now I am so greatly improved in
health my friends often speak of it.
I most heartily recommend those
medicines to all suffering as I was.",

Who cannot

What n contrast to the strong,

What makes the difference?
Simply health. The worltl is

in the home, in society vigorous,
active women nre the favorites,
the successful ones.
Health is woman's right. It
will bring her everything worth

for it.
There is one relief oeii to all
women. It is Pe-ru na, the spec

congestions, irri

painful irregu

n rule, the ma
jority of diseases
which make life
n burden to wo
men spring from
a debilitated or
catarrhal condi
tion of the sensi

catarrhal conditions, Pe-ru-na easily corrects such disorders and brings
nbout a normal, healthy condition even iu cases which appear almost
hopeless. It does not claim to be a cure-all or a wonderful restorer of
lost youth. But it does claim to heal, strengthen and revitalize the
mucous membrane which lines the entire body.
