FAUUO, NT. D., (Special to Tho Ilee.)
Tho moat remarkable case over brougnt

this city, who waa supposed to bo dead to

nnd as healthy as any man could bo. l'ny
slclans hero claim tho caso to bo moat re
markable and afl say It has no parallel.
Mr. Rao has Buffered for many years with
stomach troublea. Ho suffered greatly from
biliousness and habitual roiiBtlpatlon. Ho
visited many physicians and spent hundreds
of dollara without any beneficial rcsultB.
As tttno passed her grew weakor nnd lost
so much in weight that his friends hnrtlly
knew him. Ho waa slowly dying; In fact
he waB then dead to tho world nnd all
his friends. As a last resort ho went to a
noted Now York specialist who prescribed
for him a remedy which Is known for Its
famous cures of all stomach nnd bowel
complaints. This remedy, which Is Cns-
carlne. cured Mr. Hub and ho is now
woll man, after tlvo years of horrible flutter
ing.
"Cascarinc," says Mr, llao, "Is wonder
fill. It cured mo In n short tlmo when pills
nnd thoso cheap and nasty tablets mudo mo
worse I am ready at any tlmo to toll any
nno about my euro, If thoy will wrlto me.'
If you wrlto Mr. Rao enclose stamped on
velopo for reply.
Casearlno la a laxatlvo nnd does not gripe
It is easy to tnko and will not injure tho
most dcllcnto stomach. Casearlno Ib not
a new remedy, but has been prescribed by
the most prominent pliyalcluns for tho past

There la ono fenturo of tho present move
ment in Nebraska farm landa which agents
aro nt a loss to understand. Thero has
been a marked upward movement lu prices
In ncaily overy eastern county In tho state
excopt IlouglnB and perhaps Sarpy. In
thoso counties, which are the nearest to
the Omaha markot, thero nro few farniR
for snlo, but thoso which can bo bought
often do not find purchasers at prices lower
than nro obtained In counties farthor away.
Moreover, the prices In Douglas county do
not bIiow tho advance over or)e nnd two
years ago that Is seen elsewhere.
Ono suggestion that Is made In explana
tion of this phenomenon Is that Douglas
and Sarpy counties nre, largely settled by
Gormans nnd other foreigners and that, for
some reason or other, thnro may not bo
Germans in tho markot to buy Juat
nt tills time.
Another Idea is that many of tho present
1,,,,-nru r-nmn from RtntoH a little farther

sumnier rango i.nd It 1b Intended to havo
about 1,000 head of cattle there. The com
pany has also bought two or threo large
ranches Just cast of Utah, which will bo
used for wintering stock.
Ily theso deals tho company becomes
ownor of ono of the lnrgest ranches In
westorn Nebrnska. It has already about
1.100 head of cattle on the big Canaan ranch
In southern Utah, and It Is the Intention
to retain this land, tho Nebrnska deul being
by way of nn extension of Us operations,
After March 1 tho company will bo In tho

hay nro said to bo of good quality and
quantity, and thero Is n considerable tract
of cultivated land, which will be seeded

Serious ClmrKOM mill Attempts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The charges
against Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii were
taken up today by house committee on elec
Hons No. 1. Mr. Wilcox was present, ac
companted by Representative Iloblnson of
Indiana, who appeared as his friend and
counsel. Mr. ItoblnBon stated at tho outset
that as Mr. Wilcox was unfamiliar with tho
procedure in election contests he had con
sented to appear In behalf of the delegate.
Tho written answer of Mr. Wilcox was
then submitted. He claims that many of
tho charges preferred against him aro with
out merit. In regard to the letters he Is
accused of having written, dated respec
tlvely January 31, 1899, and March 8, 1809,
ho suggests that tho conditions prevailing
at that time and the legal status of the Ha
wallan Islands with resDect to tho United
States wero entirely different from those
existing later and at the time of his elec
tlon. He claims to bo sincerely and thor
oughly an American, believing In and
heartily supporting their Institutions.
-Mr. Iloblnson added that tho delegate had
received no notice of a contest, as provldod
by the rules. He asked under tho clrcum
stances that ten days be allowed for prep'
aratlon of the merits If the committee pro
posed to conduct a formal contest.
Qoorge D. Gear, who makes the charges,
was asked to produce tho originals of the
lottcrs ana until these nro secured tno com

respects, Many loan agents report that
they cannot get applications from the
farmers; that none of them need to bor

Investor, the borrower having to pay tho
agent's commission. "Five yenrs ago, after
tho panics and poor crops and low prices,
tho rato on similar loans," says It. C,
Peters, "was 8 per cent. The borrower,
moreover, is now given tho option of pay
ing off any multiple of J 100 at any interest
payday. This 'Is bocause tho borrower is
now master of the situation and la able to
Insist on hla own terms. When It was
less easy to borrow money ho had to take
It on tho best terms he could get."
Another satisfactory feature of the pres
ent situation Is that moro Nebraska farm
loans nre being sold to private Investors
in Omaha. The insurance companies nre
In the Held and many private banks and
other corporations In Iowa, as well as
states further east, are large buyers. A
million dollars' worth of these loans are
held tn tho town of Galena, 111., and there
are large Investors also In Kockford and
Frecport, In the same state. One trust
company In Chicago, handling some large
estates, only entered tho field for Nebraska
mortgages a year and a half ago, and re-
cently took IE, 000 In loans In one day.
These mortgages average about (3,000

(II veil to Ximil Appro
priation", WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. An Ineffectual
effort was made In the senate today to
secure an agreement upon a time for a
final vote upon tho shipping bill. Vigor
ous protests wero made by opponents of the
measure against any such agreement, even
for n date In the Indefinite future. Mr.
1'rltchard, republican of North Carolina,
spoke In support of tho measure and then
tho naval appropriation bill was considered
tor the rest of tho day, the shipping bill
being laid nstde Informally. Tho naval
bill had not been acted on when tho sen
ate adjourned.
Soon after the senate convened today n
resolution previously offered by Mr. l'ettl
grcw, calling on the secretary of war for a
copy of General MacArthur'a report ns to
the conditions In the Philippines and for
other papers relating to the Philippines, was
adopted.
At tho lnstanco of Mr. Fryo of Mnlno con
sideration of tho shipping bill was rcaumod.
Mr. Frye then ninde an appeal to tho senate
that a time bo fixed for n vote upon tho
pending measure. He wns exceedingly
desirous for a vote. Personally he hnd no
more desire for night sessions than any
other. Ho hoped that the senate might
agree upon somo tlmo for a vote a
time far enough off to permit tho necessary
latitude for proper debate.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas said he did not
think that, at this time, any ngrcement
could be niado for a vote.
Halo tAnkn Mure Indulgence.
Mr. Halo of Maine snld ho understood
perfectly tho views of thoso opposed to the
measure, hut ho believed the senate would
ho Indulgent, ns It alwuys had been, with
senators who desired to prepare speeches
upon tho measure. He suggested that
senutors Bhould bear In tnlnd that the pend
ing measure was In effect a political meas
ure and that the ninjorlty would have to as
sumo the responsibility for it. He did not
believe tliero was any desire to filibuster
against tho bill.
Mr. Tillman of South Carolina expressed
his admjratlon for tho "wisdom nnd di
plomacy always exhibited by tho senator
from Mulno" (Mr. Hnlc) nnd for tho "placid
way in which ho attempted to smooth the
troubled waters here." Ho Inquired, how
ever, how senators could prepare speeches
when they wero now under full head of
steam from 7 o'clock In tho morning until
11 o'clock at night.
Mr. Hulu believed the senators who de
sired to preparo speeches would find time
to do so.
Mr, Tillman said he had no great objec
Hons to a voio upon the bill provided ho
could bo absolved from any responsibility
for permitting the passage, of the measure,
bocause, In 'a opinion", tho moro rope tho
republicans wore given In drawing money
from tho treasury tho sooner they would
hang themselves.
Mr, Chandler of Now llampshlro thought
tho solution of tho pending question was to
be found In an extra session of congress
Ho did not think tho" passage of tho appro
priation bills at this session' was vital. It
wns an Injurious custom to try (to forco
through congrcsH at h nhort session much
important legislation', addition to tho np
nronrlation hills.
Mr. Money of Mississippi1 declared himself
willing to accept tho Responsibility for an
extra session called to pass appropriation
bills which might fall by reason of the de
bato upon tho shipping bill. "Tho extra
session will bo your affair," he said, "not
ours. Wo can go fishing."
Mr. Prltchard of North Carolina spoke in
support of tho measure, dealing parttcu
larly with It In connection with the ad
vancement of southern Industries. It was,
In lits opinion, tho most vital measure pre
sented to congress In recent years, ns It
proposed to build up nn Industry not only
valuable In Itself, but specially valuable In
advancing tho lntorests of the entire conn
try.
Nnvn! IlllI 1 Tnken lip.
At the conclusion of Mr. Prltchnrd's
speech the shipping bill, without objec
tlon, was laid aside temporarily In order
that the naval appropriation 'jlll might be
considered.
An amendment wns agreed to providing
that tho promotion or officers of the navy
and marlno corps made on nccount of war

or less. Somo aro written as low as $300
and thoy run up to $12,000.
Largo numbers of mortgages, as tho
rccorda show, havo been paid off In tho
last few years of good crops and there Is
no doubt this has not ouly tended to glvo
the Iniestor renewed confidence, but hna
also released a lurge amount of money
which, not unnaturally, aoeka reinvest
merit In tho Bamo channel, Tho lowering
of tho Interest rato which has resulted, to
gether with the Increased amount of hold
ings in Nebraska farm mortgages by Ne
braBku investors, Is having n cumulative
offect in keeping tho wealth that comes
out of tho soil of tho Htnto at homo.
Interest In llnaliiitril.
Interest In the auction sales of the Omaha
real estate exchange continues. There will
bo a salo next Wednesday, although the
system of rules to govern these sales lias
not yet been settled upon. This matter
should havo coma up nt tho Inst meeting 0
f
tho exchange, but, owing to the tlmo taken
up In tho heaton discussion of tho city tny
levy, it was put over for a wook. Tho Hal
noxt Wednesday, therefore, will be nccord
Ing to rules to be laid down at tho time o
tho sale, but the two lots In Orchard Hill
addition nro offered entirely without re
servo and will go to tho highest bidder for
cash.
Twelvo years ago theso lots sold for W,
100. They lie on the rising ground lo tho
west of n hollow, which crosses Decatur
street on about Thirty-fifth. The lots arc
ninety feet east of Thirty-eighth. From
the windows of a houso standing on either
side of them and facing south a fluo view
of tho city can bo obtained. Thero la
school within four block and thdro will
bo u car within nyo blocks, Tho lots nre
vacant now, but nro by a well-settle
neighborhood and In a part that la likely
to develop when tho Thirtieth-street car
extension Is mado. D. V. Shales, who I
offering the lots, will sell onn nr hnili I
tho same bidder and It Is .probablo thnt tho
buyer of -tho first will have the option
taking the other nt tho samo prlco.
A large number of real estato men is pro
paring to list property fo.r sale by auction
but most- of them aro waiting to see the
rulos which nre to govern tho auctions bo
rore tney submit their offers. A strong
reeling Is manifesting Itself in Borao quar
ters in favor of admitting tho general pub
lie nn bidders. This is not the practice
elsewhere, but Botno Omaha men who are
Interested In seeing realty move think that
this plan will give the public a much greater
Interest In the matter and that the dim
cultles In the way of such a plan can be
easily overcome.

An amendment Involving the length of
tho courso of study nt tho naval ucudemy
brought on n long discussion. Tho senato
committee had stricken out tho house pro-
Islon that naval cadets who had completed
their four years courso nt tho academy
should be commissioned as naval officers
at once.
Mr. Halo explained that by tho houso pro
vision 142 officers would bo "dumped" Into
tho navy at ono tlmo at tho foot of the
list, thus creating what was known tech
nically as a "hump" In tho list. This
'hump" would stop tho promotion of tho
younger officers. It was not expected, Mr.
Halo cald, that officers should be provided
Immediately for all the war vessels au
thorized. If such a plan wero followed It
would cost $100,000,000 n year for tho navy.
Mr. Tillman defended tho action of tho
ponnto committee, wlillo Messrs. Fornkor,
Caffrey, McKnery and Hutlor Insisted the
house provision should bo reinstated.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. This was prob
ably tho last day to bo devoted to prlvato
pension legislation by tno nouso oi iuh
rcsontatlves in thlB congress. High water
mark, mado in the Fifty-first congress,
was almost reached today, when 184 bills
wero passed, ngnlnst 197 passed at n slnglo
session in tho former congress. In all, tho
houso at tills congress has passed about
900 bills, a number considerably exceeded
In tho Flfty-llrst. A general pension nui
wns passed to rcstoro to tho pension rolls
widows of soldiers of tho rebellion who
subsequently married and became widows
or divorced. Uy tho terms of tho bill, how
over, Us benefits nro limited to widows
of soldlors who wero married before the
close of tho rebellion nnd who aro now
dependent upon their own labor for sup
port.
Prlvato pension legislation was tno regu
lar order In the houso today. Somo mis
cellaneous matters were disposed of bo
foro tho consideration of pension bills was
commenced.
mils wero passed to permit homestendcrs
on tho nbnndonod Fort Fettcrman military
reservation In Wyoming to enter ono quar
ter section of grazing land; to confirm two
locntlons of Chlppowa halfbreeds scrip in
Salt Lake City, Utah; to extend tho privilege
of lmmedlat" transportation or dutiable
gnods to the port of Honolulu nnd to restoro
to tho pension roils widows or tno soiuiers
of the rebellion who subsequently remarried
and later wero again widowed (this bill ap
plies only to widows of soldiers who wero
married during tho rebellion.)
Tho houso then went Into commltteo of
tho wholo nnd entered upon tho considera
tion of prlvnto pension bills. Ono hundred
nnd eighty-four bills wero favorably uctcd
upon and subsequently passed by tho houso.
The speaker laid before tho houso tho
following letter from Acting Secretary of
State Hill:
"I havo the honor to Inform you of tho
receipt of a telegram yestordny from the
nmbnssador to Great Ilrltolu, reporting
that his majesty's minister for foreign
affairs laid boforo tho king tho resolution

WASHINGTON, Feb. S. Among tho suji

were thu Cuban constitution and tho pos

U Is known that these words fnlrly ex
press tho present views of tho president
and the members of his cnbluet, as devel
oped at today's meeting, but whether tho
constitutional convention will view tho
matter in tho same light Is a perplexing

thnt an extra session will ho avoided. A

feeling the president Is In full accord.

Dyspepsia Cure
Digests what you eat.
If you suffer from indigestion,
you will be surprised at the
speedy relief that can be obtained
by using" a combination of all the
natural digestants.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is such
aprcparation, and its presence in
the stomach and alimentary tract
completely relieves the digestive
organs from work, by digesting
every kind of food that may be
eaten.
It can't help but
do you good
Mr. J. A. Miles, hotel proprie
tor, Richland Center, Wis., says:
"I had dyspepsia for twelve y ear b,
and used tablets and medicines of
different kinds; but none of them
gave me anything but temporary
relief till I commenced using
Kodol Dyspiipsia Cukk. I had
almost given up hope of ever
getting cured. To my great sur
prise the first bottle of this
preparation helped me, and sev
