LINCOLN. Jnn. 11 (Special.) Tho house
committee on prlvlleRos ami elections met
this afternoon ami nfter listening to ar
gument for both slilca, illflinlfisud tho con
tent caso against Charles K. Coffee, fuslun
representative from tho Fifty-third dis
trict Allan 0. KUlior, the conttstant, ap
peared In hln own hchalf and nrmiccl tho
ease on purely U'K.U grnumls. Tho com
inltteo held that thu contestrc had not
Iolated the corrupt practices act, as
charged by Klshcr, and further that tho
fct that he was a director of a natloml
Imnk did not disqualify him hoMltift tho
oini of memher of tho lefilsliture.
Tho enso of IMcgmtin agalnut Ream was
also decided adversely for the contestant,
the committee holding that there was not
Rttniclcnt ovldenro to warrant n roottut of
hallots.
.IoIiiimoii Will Will.
It Is almost certain that the sonato com
mittee cn privileges and elections, which Is
to report on the contest caso of Johnson
ngalnst Hodges next Monday, will find In
favor of reatlng the contestant, Mr. John
son, and Hint It will so recommend In Its
report to tho senate. The case U one which
Involved Illegal valtiift In Kearney county,
find It Is asserted the evidence of enough
Illegal votcsi being cast for Mr. Hodges was
furulHhed tho committee to convince Its
members that Mr. Johnson, the republican
nominee, should havo received tho certifi
cate of election which is hold by Hodges.,
Tho final arguments In tho contest proceed
ings wero mndo before the committee Inst
night, but It has reserved Its decision until
Monday. It may bo that when the com
mittee meets Monday It will bo decided to
havo tho ballots produced and a recount
made, but this course Is not likely to be
pursued, as thcro seems to bo sufficient
evidence without this to convince the com
mittee that Mr. Johnson Is rightfully en
titled to tho seat. While tho members ol
tho commlttco refuse to state what tho
naturo of the report will be, the fact that
Juit before Mr Jotinson left for homo to
day ho was told by one of the leading mem
ber of tho. commlttco that while ho was
not at liberty to tell him what the deliber
ations of tho commlttco would result
In, It might In a good Idea for the
contestant to show up In Lincoln next
Monday evening, which was taken to mean
tjiut the report noiilil most likely bo favor
nblo to Mr. Johnson nnd ngalnst Mr.
Hodges, who on tho face of the returns
had n majority of two votes. Since Mr.
Johnson lives quite n distance from Lincoln
It Is not thought likely that a member of
tho commlttco would havo advised him to
return to Lincoln next Monday evening
unless tho report was favornblo to him.

Peruna Is not n "cure-all"; It cures Just
ono disease catarrh. Hut slnco catorrh Is
able to fasten Itself within the different
orgam of tho body, so It Is that Peruna euros

that Peruna cures one disease only. Wo

scientific remedy for catarrh yet devised.

sease; that is lo say, It lnvndcs tho wholo
system. Wo claim th.tt Peruna Is u sys
tematic remedy; that Is to say It eradi
cates catarrh from tho system. Catnrrh

CATARRH

Hon. Wm, A. Dcano, of San Francloco,
Hon. Wm. A. Dcano, Clerk
of tho city and county of San
Francisco, In u letter written
from San Francisco, says:
"I would not bo without Pe
runa. as 1 havo round It to bo
tho best remedy for catarrhal
complnlnts thnt I havo ever
used. I huvo tried most nil ot
tho so-called catnrrh remedies
advertised, and can conscien
tiously sny that of all tho rem
edies for catarrhal complaints
recommended to mo nono havo
been ro beneficial ns Peruna."
Wm. A. Deane.
Everybody Is subject to ca
tarrh. Peruna cures catarrh,
ncuto or chronic, wherever lo
cated. Hon. Thomas Gahnn, of Chi
cago, member of tho National
Coramftto of tho Democratic
party, writes as follows:
"I was afflicted with catarrh
for fourteen years nnd though'
I tried many remedies and ap
plied to sovoral doctors I was
not ablo to find a cure. Fi
nally I learned of tho remedy,
1'crunn, through a friend "who
had used It, I took rcruna
twenty-two weeks, and am now
entirely cured. I havo every
reason to think my euro a per
manent ono, ns It has been a.
year slnco then. I can heart-.
ily recommend fcruna as a ca
tarrh remedy; It will euro when?
all other remedies fall."
Thomas Gnhun.
Mrs. Ilrackott.
Mr. F. E. nrackott, S SaMo
street, Medford, Mass., says:
"I havo been treating myself
for cntarrh for about twenty
four years. During that tlmo
I havo used many different
kinds of medicine, but since
using your medicines I find
them far superior In every re
spect. The tonic effect of To
runa on mo In truly wonderful.
My wlfo uses and recommends
Pcrunn." F. E. Drackett.
Few stop to rcallzo In how
many ways catarrh can effect
tho body. Every organ, every
duct, every passage, every
opening of tho human body Is
llabln to catnrrh. Peruna 13
an Internal, systemic catarrh
remedy, and acts beneficially
on all of tho mucous mem
branes of tho human body. Con
sequently It Is equally effect
ivo to euro catarrh In any or
