TTTE OMATTA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, EEBHTTAHY 3, 1901. BASIS FOR REPRESENTATION Another Figur Get for Calculating the New LegialatW District. LIGACY OF W. A. POYNTER'S OPPOSITION II U FlKht m Senator Tfn Yen. Ago rrrentctl n, Iteirrnne nn)il of the Linen by tho l.rnllnture at That Time. LINCOLN, Feb. 2. (Special.) Under the reapportionment of legislative districts each 32,000 people ot Nebraska will be entitled to ono senator and three representatives. The number of members will remain un changed, but the representation will bo di vided upon an nctual population basis, which will probably decrease thu represen tation of the eaBtern half of tho state and Increase that of the western half. Kepro sentatlvo Kvans of Lincoln county Is pre paring to mako n strong fight In the house In behalf of his section, and In tho upper branch Senators Currlo and Van tlosklrk will champion the Interests of tho great northwest Tho letter's nearest colleague In the senato lives 200 miles from Alliance, his homo town, but tho various bills pend ing consideration give that portion of the state more representatives In tho upper house. Members of the legislature of 18D1 will remcmocr tho valiant efforts made by tho senators from the northwest to obtain an Incrcaso In tho representation. A bill which sultod tho section was Introduced, recommended for passago by tho standing committee, but on motion of William A. I'oynter, then senator from lloono county, was Indefinitely postponed Senator J. K. Stovcns of the Thirtieth district, compris ing Lincoln and adjoining counties, was one of tho leading members In support of the measure, and during tho roll call on tho motion to postpone took advantage of an opportunity to explain his voto and In un qualified terms condemned tho attitude of tho man who afterwards becamo governor. Stevens' ArriilKiiiiirnt nf I'oyntrr. "In tho name of tho good people of the ntnta and for tho credit and fair name of tho members of tho legislature of this proud commonwealth I most solemnly and earnestly protest against such actions being taken by this body," said Senator Stevens. "A plain and emphatic provision of the con stitution makes It mandatory upon this body tn district tho state this time for legislative purposes, yet wo see n cringing, unmanly disposition manifested upon tho part of many to disregard tmcrcd obliga tions which members of this body mado to their constituents In nlmost every school house during tho campaign. They tell us business affairs compel thorn to adjourn and hurry home. What Inordinate real tho necluslon of homo has seized upon theso honorable gcntlamcn. It legislation upon this subject Is deferred, It will not only be a del'borate Insult to many sections of the ntato, but an otitrngo to many of our people. "The Thirtieth senatorial district com prises an area nearly equal to one-sixth of the state, with n population approximat ing &0.000 people. Tho Fifty-fourth repre sentative district comprises eleven counties, with an approximate population of over 30,000 people, whllo Lincoln county alone possesses n population which moro than entitles her to n representative In tho lower liouso. Anticipating tho result of tho mo tion of Senator I'oynter of Iloone, I am very decldodly of tho opinion nnd speak advis edly when I say that a failure upon tho part of this legislature to pass somo bill upon this subject by which tho people may have a fair representation will arouuso public Indignation all over tho stato and tho honorablo senator who may not bo nble to glvo a bettor excuso than his anxiety to adjourn, will not. In tho good tl-uo coming, ;rnce theso classic halls with his presonco as a ropresentatlvo of the dear people. I firmly bcllove that such action ns Is an ticipated here will bo tho death knell of my man who supports It." Pojiitk Motion Carried. Tho motion to postpone tho bill carried by a Blight majority, several members re fusing. to voto. This loft tho apportionment of 1885 still In effect and tho legislature of 1895 allowed It to remain unchanged, and In conBequenco the state has had the same representation for firteen years, notwith standing tho constitution requires tho re organization of districts once every flvo yonrs. Trnvellnsr l.llit iirlm mil. Determined efforts nro btlng mado by nfneers of tho Stato Library association to securo the passage of a bill providing for a system of public traveling libraries. A mensum with this object In vlow, and con templating an appropriation of $8,000, has boon Introduced In tho bouso by Ilrown of Otoo cotnty. Tho proposed bill provides for tho foi motion of a stato circulating library, from which any town In Nebraska can borrow 25, 50 or 100 volumes at a time, This stato library would bear the same ro tation to a town that tho town public li brary docs to Us Individual patron, except that tho stato library would loan by fifties and to communities. When one lot of books Is returned the town can receive another lot on the samo terms. New York state appropriates a large sum yearly for a eystem of traveling libraries. Michigan, Montana and Iowa have passed similar laws, whllo Massachuietts. New Hnmp'hlre and several other eastern stales glvo through their library commission a cer tain sum to any town establishing a free library. Tho bill now before the house has tho opprovnl and support of tho State Li brary association, the Nebraska federation of Women's cli'bs, tho University Intension committee and Individuals who arc Inter ested In the educational advancement of the state. "It Is not possible to estimate approxi mately the Influence which a collection of books such as is proposed will have on n community," said William U. Jlllson, presi dent of the Stnte Library association. "Thu mailer the community tho moro It Is cut off from tho usual avenues of Improvement and tho moro It stands in need ot a well selected library Tho advantages of a free traveling library nro very apparent. Any village or community not able to form Us own library can have from theso traveling libraries a small collection of books con stantly on hand. The books, when read through by one ton!), will do Just as giod service In another town. Small libraries afrcady started, but too poor to keep up to (lute, can Incrcaso their usefulness by bur rowing from the state traveling library. The Impetus given to reading habits will tend toward the formation of permanent town libraries. The bill also provides for a sta'.o Ubrnry commission, whose duties will be tho administration of tho systems of trav ellnc libraries and the encouragement of everything and expressed great surprise at finding the institution In such excellent condition. They found that all wards were filled to tho limit and on learning the an nual Increase of Inmates In the Hastings asylum thoy all expressed themselves to the effect that It was an absolute necessity that a new wing be added to this Institution at the earliest possible date. Several of the members said that the Hastings asylum was the cleanest, most orderly and best dis ciplined stnte Institution they had ever vis ited. The investigating committee consti tuted the members of tho ways and means committee of the senate, conitnlttco on public lands and buildings of" tho house and the commltteo on lnsano asylums of the house Suit fur 1'nrm Dnninue.

THE SCIENCE OF Thousands Have Been Cured by This Method Facts Detailed by the Originator of the New System of Drugless Treatment. Poultry lloimtcil to llenth, HASTINGS. Neb., Feb. 2. (Spcclal.) Henry Chceium lost sixty chickens and a good wagon by Are. Mr. Cheezum has for years been going nbout the county buying up poultry and this month he placed n small stove In bis wagon to keep the fowls Several years ago, while trying" to determine upon what work a young man might enter, I sought Into many new und many old fields of thought. I found nearly overy profession crowded, and all of the trades wore overflowing. It was plnln that men wero needed to do certain things, but tho things that needed most doing were not successfully accomplished. I thought to tnko up tho ntudy of medicine, nnd did bo after wondering why thero wero threo distinct Hchools of practice. I reasoned that If tho allopaths wero successful in their claims there would bo no need of the homeopaths, and If they had proven that with their Innntteslmnlly small doses they could curo diseases tho oclcctlcn wero not needed, nnd yet they existed. After con Bldnrnble research I found that neither of those Bchools were nblo In nil cases to fulfill their claims that the world was tilled with Invalids, lmbecllea and crlpplcw Just tho namo. Laying asldo this study I hailed with glad delight the flclenco of Osteopathy, but found tho osteopaths as n claBs us nar row and non-progresslvo ns wero the fol lowers of the varlotiH schools of medlclno. Tho oBteopnths wero curing Borne and kill ing others. Later my attention was drawn Into phychlo study, and tho Influenco of suggestions over the nets and minds of men, and I hegnn n rigid and sclcntlflo study of Buggostlvo therapeutics. This had taken up a dozen yearn of my life, nnd I found myself In dlro need of actually entering upon active work In somo line, but I was, ns yet, Isolated so fnr as ft profession was concerned. So I set about to mnko n profession exactly to my liking. I wanted one In which I could do good nnd run no risk of doing harm to anyone. lit courso of tlmo I evolved whnt I have chosen to call "Magnetic Osteopathy," which 1h a scientific combination of all tho better elements found In tho various systems of drugless treatment. I believe I have dem onstrated to the world that we do actually euro chronic diseases without medicine, batteries, pills, powders, plasters, poultices or surgery. I do not deny that such meth ods may have their places, but they do not enter Into our work. When n patient comes to us "completely run down In health" we Invariably restore him to n normal condi tion by manipulating the nervo centers nnd glands of his body bo ns to forco them to resume their natural functions once moro, nnd he most certnlnly regains full and com pl.'tn bodily health. Hundreds of sick and afflicted have been cured bv my method when nil else had failed. This ought to bo proof enough of Itself, but a world full of "Mlssourlnns" demand the how. whv nnd wherefore of It all. And I also found that I would not bo nble. alone, to cure nil the peop!o In a single county, but that hundreds were com ing from nil quarters of the country to bo cared, and that others must bo taught this noble science. For this purposo I estab lished, two years ago. tho KhnraB School of Mannetlc Osteopathv. I emnloy all my prndiintes. but every person who takes up this work must tlrst satisfy mo of his nr her good moral character Thev work for mo under annual contracts nfter thev complete my very thorough course of study, and t want no ono connected with mv work who Is not honorable In every regard. Later I found that there wero hundreds who wanted treotment. but thev could not leavo home, family or buslnes to come to Omaha to be cured, so I began a system of open'ntr branch ottlces In vnrlous good-sized cities In the surround. ng territory beginning first with Iowa nnd Nebraska, but graduuiy extending our reach so ns to take In not only these two states, but the Dnkotus, Minne sota. Montana. Wyoming". Colorado. Kansas nnd Missouri. In this way I am ennbled to employ all tho good people I can get to tako tho study. (Qood men and women ore somewhat scarce) We have treated and cured patients who aimo from Now York and from PROF. THEO. KHARAS, Founder of the Science of .Magnetic Osteopathy California, and have studentn from Michigan, Virginia nnd other dlfltnnt states, but tho bulk of our patronage Is from tho Immcdlato surrounding states, Let ters como to my secretary's dcBk every week from every state In tho union, nnd we havo received over fifty from Canada within tho last threo months, yet wo never do any foreign advertising. Most of them write to us becnuio they liavo been asked to by somo friend who knows of our work or has been cured In ono of tho different Institutions I nm conducting. "Wo havo recently discharged ns cured n case of exophthalmlo goitre, some thing long slnco pronounced absolutely In curable by the medical profession. Ordt nnry chronic diseases aro not considered as serious troubles to euro by our treatment. MIbb Eulnltii Maus of Martland, Noli., waa cured of consumption In a few weeks, Hho Is now sound and well, yet slut was told by good physicians that she had a very short tlmo to Hvo when sho loft homo for Omaha. Her curo was considered as something miraculous by her friends, but I never thought of It as such. It was a. mere matur-of-courso to us, for wo un derstand how to do such tliliiKs--that's our business. Other people can do things I can't, nnd many do things I wouldn't, but that's theli business. Mr. John A. Wetz of Iloone, la , was cured of rheumatism In tho right kneo which bad bothered hltn for seven years. It only took two treatments to euro him. Mr. W. A. I-gg was cured of a bad caso of mjscular rheumatism by two treatments given In our Jefferson (la.) ofllce. Mr. M. McOtilro of fil3 South Six teenth street, Omaha, wns cured of a long, standing caso of rhcumntlsm In two or threo treatments. Mr. J A I'ayne. a well known capitalist of Hamburg, la., was cured of piles by ono treatment, nnd ono magnotlc-ost,'0iathlo treatment relieved blm of a bad caso of writer's paralysis, but those wero separate and distinct treat ments' Somo people who think thoy know sny thot wo treat every old thing In tin. same way. When a mnn talks like that you Just mnko up your mind he don't know a thing nbout what he's saying. On nccount it our grent success a num ber of unprincipled persons nn- going abott tho country claiming to do tho samo work, yet knowing absolutely nothing about the simplest principles of the profession Wo nro continually receiving letters stating that n certain "professor" tit a certain place claims to he In our employ, nnd says hi- Is a graduate of ours. etc. When we wrlto to that place to Inquire nf him he has flown A fel'ow was through Elgin, Neb., n short tlmo ago claiming to repre sent us, but wo know blm not' We have no tra.'ollng representatives, and will lend every honest effort to expose frauds nnd fakes. If you are In dciibt. wrlto to me and I will tell you what to do. Our branch olllces nre reliable, but do not take an unsettled man's word for anything. Wrltn to headquarters at 1115-1517 Chicago h trout. Omaha, for particulars, and then you'll nlwayB be safe Never go to any branch oflleo or come to Omaha without lirst writ ing no and getting an answer We are many times over-rrowded with work, nnd If you will write to us we wli notify you when to come Anyway, your case may be ono whtrh iIocb not roinc within our reach, and by writing us about yourself we may bo able to sa vou a long and expensive trip.
