Five thousand people stood out ln a cold, biting wind for thirty minutes yesterday morning and heard United States Senator Murk Hanna discuss the Issues of the campaign and when he had finished the crowd was In a splendid humor and cheered long and loud for Hanna and everything pertaining to re publicanism. The special which bore Sena tors Hanna and Frye, Victor Dolllver and other arrived here at J. 30 and waa greeted by a deafening noise. Every whistle In the city was turned loose, fire bells rang, bands played and hundreds of tin horns were brought Into action. The reception commit tee escorted the distinguished party and the newspaper representatives to gaily deco rated carriages and they were driven through the vast concourse of peoples to the speakers' stand which had been erected on the street. Victor Dolllver was the first speaker and he put the crowd In a good humor at once. H!b remarks were brief and he was followed by Senator Hanna, who spoke for thirty minute and made the best campaign speech ever heard here. He was In good humor and said be had shed his horns. He hoped to see Nebraska back ln the republican column this year and the crowd cheered and assured him It would be -rfc- ,-.- .. -lit, i .i-nm,.,t I and business wes suspended for an hour. Four Bpeclal trains brought ln large crowd., notwithstanding tbo bad weather. In the afternoon ex-Congressman Andrews addressed a large crowd and made many vote. It was the biggest political demon stration ever held ln Wymore and republic ans are encouraged at Its magnitude. Ono of tho most prominent democrats ln south ern Nebraska said It was by far the best speech he had heard this year and said that anybody who could look Into Mark Hanna's face and say he was not a sincere and hon est man was no Judge of human nature. Criminal Court nt West Point. WEST POINT. Neb., Oct. 21. (Special.) The republican county central committee has nominated A. L. Farrnn of Logan town ship for county representative. This nomi nation was left blank at the county con vention and tho committee Instructed to fill It. The nomination of Mr. Farran Is conceded to be a good one. He is a young man, a farmer, and was brought up In Cuming county. He has always been known as an earnest, aggressive and ht worker ln the republican ranks, and ! 'It by the party that the honor and rervjrnitlon shown to him by this nomination Is -well deserved. The democrats of the vicinity have or ganized and advertised a rally of their forces for next Monday. A girls' Bryan club has also been organized. Judging by the desperate efforts being made by a few leaders of this party they are not so sure of victory as they would have their fol lowers to believe. The activity ln this campaign Is confined to about six demo crats who run everything, do all the talk ing and create all the enthusiasm the rank and file of the party being ominously silent. It Is with the greatest difficulty that a corporal's guard can be gotten out to hear Bryan doctrine. James Johnson, a prominent liquor dealer, and Hans Thompson, a wealthy farmer of this county, returned on Thursday from an extended visit to their old home In Denmark. Both men express themselves as being very glad to get back to Nebraska and will do what they can for tho repub lican ticket amongst their compatriots ln this county. Honeymoon Ilnilely Interrupted. NELIGH, Neb., Oct. 21. (Special.) Les ter Johns, a young man living In Bazlle township, obtained a marriage llcenso of County Judge Fields for blni.self and Cora Swift, giving bis age as 22 and the girl's as 13. During his absence to get the neces sary document his mother went to the school house v.kero Cora was ln attendance and took her to Brunswick, where they met Les ter and were married by Justice Bear. They drove from thero to Mr. Grubbs, who llvei southwest of Brunswick, to spend their honeymoon. But there was one thing they had failed to reckon on and that evening Mr. Swift camo down upon the newly wedded precinct committeeman's assistants seven- teen or eighteen individual voters to look alter, inn narrows me ousinesa aown so that it Is a comparatively easy matter to search out nearly every voter in the state and enable those at the head of tho organ- izatlon to know In advance almost where they stand. Hon. Albert Wishart. United States dls- trlrt attorney for Indiana, writes thus to the republican national committee: "I - , ...... - t - havo Just completed a tour of the state i Indiana with Colonel Durbln, the repub- l.rfln rand-date for covernor.

To the Editor of tho Bee: In comparing a good many democrats and populists of today with some democrats of tho union artsy of '61 to ' I find that thero Is about the tame degree of comparison from tho fact that the democrats of '61 to '65, while battling for the union, were captured and confined ln those hor rible prisons of the south till they were en tirely wrecked and after all their trials and suffering, on being liberated, returned home and still continued to be democrats. Whereas the fustonlsU of today, who four years ago wero confined ln the prisons of buslnecs depression, silent factories, scarcity of money and almost an Impossibility of making the barest kind of living are not satisfied with being delivered from "Ander sonvllle" and enjoying one of the greatcit eras of prosperity that has been known for years and are still bent on voting them selves back ln that horrible prison of bus iness depression.

REPUBLICANS ARE GIVEN FIRST PLACE Technicalities of the I.nrr Are UUrc itarded Ortlng -to Impossibility of Cnrrluv Out Its 1'rut lalotm. The form of official ballot for tne com ing election has been decided upon and the county clerks throughout the state are now arranging the copy for the printers, al though several of them arc ln a muddle as to Just what Is to appear on the printed form. The county clerk of Sarpy county wag in Omaha Saturday to learn whether It Is neceseary to Insert upon the official bal lot tbo postou.ee address of tho several can didates as they wero certified to blm by the secretary of state. He was told that It was not necessary, but would not be satis fied until he had received the Information j from the capital. The law requires the nominees to be i placed on the ballot ln tbe order of the largest vote cast at tho preceding election ul sisie ooicers ana uauer mis provisioa County Clerk Haverly will place the repub lican candidates first under the respective designations of the offices for which they are candidates. The county clerk baa already arranged for tho printing of the ballots, 130,000 being required for Douglaa county, 65,000 of which are to bo official, printed on white paper, and CS.00O sample on colored paper. This number affords two ballots of each sort for every voter registered ln the county at the last election. On the morning of election day the bal lots will bo sent to the precincts, 200 for each precinct being retained by tbe clerk to supply any loss by accident. Tbe print ing of the ballots will cost the voters of the county approximately J 1.000, the large number required causing a reduction from tho regular price. I.ckiiI Technlcnlltles Dlsreicnrileil. The printing of the ballots has occasioned considerable thought on the part of the Job printers of the city and the state. The time for printing them is so short that they have decided It Is impossible to comply with tho technicalities of thu law- und even tho secretary of stato has been forced to elim inate from the ballot the names of the- can didates for president and vice president of :ho reveral parties. A3 approved by the legal authority or the state, tbo ballot will bo 16x40 Inches and will contain two .col umns. In the left-hand column tho names of tho btato and district officers will appear, while the names of the county and precinct officers will occupy the right-hand column. In the first column under the electoral ticket appears a space wherein the electors may express their preference for United States senator, the voter being Instructed to vote for two. So far tbe only name to appear Id this space Is that of Edward Rosewater. Because of Its size but few of the print ing offices ln the state outside of Omaha and Lincoln aro equipped for printing the ballot and as a result a large part of the work will be done in Omaha. So far no contracts have been made, but it Is prob ablo that this city will furnish the larger part of tbe 1.000.COO b.illots required ln tho 1,611 precincts of the Btate. The printers of tho larger cities have agreed upon a scale of prlce3 averaging ID per 1,000, being from $S to $10, according to the number required. In addition to this U ad dltloiial Is demanded for each precinct change. Based on theso figures, which Is probably a fair average for tho state, the total cost of v tho printing of the ballots for the coming election in Nebraska will be ap proximately JlO.nco. A Cnrd.

That MyinR seems to have been born of the superstition deep rooted in hu manity. It is akin to that other saying " He laughs best who laughs Ust." Per haps iu these and similar sayings there is a survival of the old pagan belief that a display of happiness was likely to in cur tne envy of the gods and to draw down the visitation of the malice which is twin to envy. It would be a ridiculous proposition to atErtn that bad is the necessary outcome of jood. But just as many a day which tjin with a cloudless sky ends in storm, so tnanx an event in life which promises only happiness ends in disap pointment and misery. Thia is very true of marriage. The young wife goes heart and soul into home making and housekeeping. She loves to cook and prepare the dainties her husbaud enjoys. She is so robust and hearty that she can hardly find enough to do to exhaust her abuiidant eiergy. That's the way it begins. Af ter a while she finds that it takes tfl her strength to care for her home. Then household cares begin to overtax her, and she drops down into a chair many a time and gives way to tears because of her weakness and "misery. The sky so cloudless on the morning of marnage has soon become overcast. THE CRITICAL TIME in many a woman's life comes just at this period of discouragement and de spair. She finds indications of disease of the delicate womanly organs. Her women friends perhaps tell her that the bearing down sensation, the pains in the back and loins indicate disease or dis placement. She consults physicians, takes prescribed treatments, all to no avail. And yet this woman's case is curable on the evidence of women who have been cured. "Four vears ago my health began to fail," writes Mrs. Nellie M. Reycraft, of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon. " I had a hedvy dragging and weight in the region of the uterus, pain in back and loins, could not lift anything heavy, rest at night very poor; stomach de ranged. One physician said I vas over worked, another said I had conges tion and falling of uterus. He treated me nine months and said I would not be well until I had pursed the change of life. I was only twenty-seven years old then. I became discouraged, and began using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Took a teaspoonful three times a day; began feeling better right away. Am using my third bottle now, and feel I am in good health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has restored me to health. If suffering women would give it a fair trial they would give it praise." It can truthfully be said that there is hardly a form of womanly disease med ically curable which will not yield to the faithful use of Favorite Prescription " More than this, it is a matter of record that many forms of womanly disease pro nounced incurable by local physicians have been perlectly a4 permanently had uphill work ln entertaining the audi ence with his burlesque, VPaddywhlakl."

Many medicines offered for women's use arc mere palliative-. They numb the nerves and so dull the pain. But they do not re-establish the lost womanly health. "Favorite Prescrip tion " is a purely veset.xblc preparation. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or any other narcotic It cannot disagree with" the weakest constitution. It establishes regularity. Mr the drains which weaken women", licals inflamma tion and ulceration and cures female weakness. IT IS WOMAN'S WAY to sacrifice herself for her family She goes without the new dress that husband or child may have som coveted pleasure. And for economy's sake she often bears the itls which ' arc undermining her health. It is a false economy. The health of the wife and mother is the most important factor in the home life, and every suffering woman who has been cured by "Favorite Prescription " is a witness "to the real economy of this means of cure. " My health is the best now that it has been for four years," writes Mrs. Phebe Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., N.Y., Box $3. "I have taken but two bottles of your medicine. 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discover-.' These med icines have done me more good than all that I have ever taken before. eonfdn't do my uvrk oily about holf the time, and now I can ztvrk all the time Jor a family of four. Before I took your medicines I was sick in bed nenrly half the time. My advice to all who axe troubled with female weakness is to take Dr. Pierce's Fnvorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery 'the most wonderful medicines in the world." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are held in sacred confidence and womanly confi dences arc guarded by strict professorial privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. In a little more than thirty jears Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering women. If the dealer offers you a "inst as good" medicine in place of "Favorite Prescription " it is because less meritori ous medicines pay him a little more profit. His profit is your los3. Insist upon having "Favorite Prescription" the medicine which makes weak women strong and sick women well. THE UEASON WHY. Some medical works content them selves by classifying advice under the head of "Do" or "Don't." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser gives the reason why, for all it enjoins. It is a plain guide to health written in plain English and dealing with thejreat prob lems of physiology and hygiene from the view point of common sense.
