THAT Seed-grown leaf It is the flavor noticeable in all the finest imported cigars of the milder type. It is never present in any cigar not filled with the Vuelta growth of tobacco. It is never present in a cigar with a bright Sumatra wrapper. When the Sumatra bitterness is taken out of the wrapper stock it be comes less sleek looking. The only cigar having a Vuelta filler ever sold for 5 cents, is the TOM KEENE. The only properly cured Sumatra wrapper ever put on a nickel cigar is the wrapper used on the TOM KEENE. The fine Vuelta filler used in the TOM KEENE cigar is the result of over five years' enterprise, experiment, care and expense. The right round was found in various places only aftar many trials. Tha young Vualta sprouts brought from Cuba diad outright in most placas triad. In soma places thay took sustananoa at onoa, but graw wlthaut natural development, taxtura and flavor. The exactly right results were achieved only in a few spots where soil, land level, eurreunding Jungle, sea-mists and tropical sun gave the young plants their natural grawth and flavor. The result is the delicate "Java-coffee taste" for the first time found in a B-cent cigar. You can notice the vast difference plainly. v Please "lend a hand" and mention it to your friends.

Among tho Indictments returned by tho last federal grand Jury was ono against "Prof. R. K. Dutton, Ph. D.," as ho terms himself. "Prof." Dutton Is a resident of Lincoln and Malms to possess power un equalled by that of Jesus Christ, In his cir culars making a comparison broad and swooping botwecn himself and tho founder of tho Christian religion, much to tho dis advantage of tho lattor. Tho specific charge upon which tho "professor" was Indicted was using tho walls for the purpose of fraud, In that ho otfored to teach any porson applying tho means of performing tho miracles for tho urn of UO, and that ho collected $10 from one. or mora persons for treatment which ho advertised as free. Circulars sont out u confidential lottera to hU dupes nro mado a part of tho Indictment, and extracts from this circular aro Interesting, as they .o to show tho extent of tho conlldenco of the "professor" lu tho gullibility of the public. In his opening etntcmont ho claims to possess tho power to euro all dlseaso, to work miracles moro wonderful than those recorded In tho bible, and to give to his patrons tho power to separata their spirit from the body and wander in worlds un known to mankind. "In this," says tho "professor," "I am moro powerful than Jesus Christ, for I can euro thousands, whllo tha treatment of Jesus Christ was limited to a fow and he mado many failures on account of tho lack of faith on tho part of those treatod, whllo I, It my directions aro itrlctly followed, niako fow failures. If you nro not cured It Is your fault, as failure is Impossible whero you do just aa I Bay." Thon follows a long and rambling courso of Instructions, In which tho patient is told to withdraw himself from tho world at 7:30 o'clock a. m. and 8 p. m. and "earnestly and lutently think of nothing until hypnotic sleep Js produced, In which the spirit will throw off tho burdens of the flesh and stand revealed In the, light, where It may learn those things which will produco eternal health and happiness." Tho patient Is further told that In this retirement ho must close himself securely In a room, "where no sound may como to distract attention and all thoughts of love, hatred and mallca must be forgotten, so that In tho rourso of time you can produce this condition amid tho crash of thunder and tho roar of cannons." Tho circular attached to the Indictment hows tho "professor" to havo slight knowl edge of the rules of Kngltih construction and but a brief acquaintance with the spell ing book, but with all of this the postofflce Inspectors say that he did a rushing busl kms at Lincoln anil that ho has received JAVA COFFEE TASTE' largo amounts of money from confiding dupes. CHEAPER FOR SLOW RIDES Proposition far a Tiro-Dollar Differ ential on tho Chlcuuo Oiunha Line. The conference of passenger officials ot tho Chicago-Twin City and Chicago-Omaha Unco, held this week In Chicago, has provod barren of results and an adjournment has been taken until Monday. It Is believed that a satisfactory agreement as to tho tlmo schedules will bo reached thon, as tho strong lines nro showing n disposition to treat the claims ot tho weaker roads with consideration. Just what shape the agrcomcnt will take Is uncertain. Sorao of tho weaker lines aro willing to allow tho fast schedulo to remain between Chicago and Omaha as well as bo twecn Chicago and tho Twin Cities, pro vided their Interests aro conservod by tho making ot a differential rate. If this is agreed upon It Is probablo that the weaker roads will bo allowed to. clip 2 off tho fare botweon theso points. Tho Chicago-Twin City situation could bo settled Immediately and with llttlo friction woro it not for tho fact that tho lines run ning botwecn theso points which also run between Chicago and Omaha Insist that both situations be cottlcd at tho samo time. Tho Milwaukee belongs to this class and is in a position to onforco tho demand, having tho second shortest line on both routes, Tho Northwestern otnclals have shown no disposition to lengthen tho schedulo ot No, 1 between Chicago and Omaha, and It Is bo Moved that tjio settlement effected will al low It to romaln unchanged. The Rock Island will put Its fast Chicago-Omaha train on tho samo schedulo Sunday, DEPARTMENT WITHOUT A HEAD Departure 'of General llatea Leave a Little (lueallou of Preced ence UiiNcttled, A peculiar condition confronts tho Depart ment of tho Missouri yesterday, It being virtually without u commander. Gonornl Dates Is gone, having left Friday night for Washington, whero ho will remain for sovoral weeks, serving on a hoard ot army officers, and no ono has been appointed In bis place. "Colonel C. C. C. Cnrr, in command at Fort Itlley, has been notified of the gen ora,l'a departure," said an officer at the department headquarters yesterday, "but I don't know whether he's lu command here or not. According to ono general rulo he would, and according to another ho would not. lie Is tho senior officer ot the depart ment, you know, ranking next to General Dates. "Telegrams were sent yestsrday to the War department at Washington and to Colonel Carr, giving notlco that the goneral was to bo gone for soveral weoks, but no roply has been rocelved from cither as yet. i'Thero Is a question as to which ot two general rules to apply in this case. Ono Is that tho command always passes to tho ranking officer, the other 1b that the presi dent must appoint an officer to command a department. I think tho former will hold in this cajc."

HINGES ON QUESTION OF FRANCHISE One Attorney Sny the Luvr Give tho Ilnllroiwl a ltlKht to' Tuvnde the Street and the Other Say Not, Monday afternoon at 2 nVlnrk .Tmi inson will decldo whether tho citv council may pass tho ordlnnnco granting tho North western railway tho uso of tho west twosty flvo feot of Eighth street, botween Farnara and Howard streets. Yesterday morulntr Judeo Dickinson heard tho arguments for and against tho injunction wnicn tho Thomas Davis Real Estate com pany Becks to secure for thn nnrnnsn nf provontlng tho council from granting tho iNorwwesiorn railway tho coveted trackago. Tho caso turns on whether the cranUm? of permission to the railway enmnnnv to lnvado tho street Is a franchise or a liconso. 'liio Northwestern maintains that it has a right to pass along tho street unilflr thn stato law and that any action taken hv thn council Is a mero contract providing for tho regulation or tno laying of tho track. At torneys for tho Davis company, or the Burlington road, contend th fit thn' nnnrlhif ordinanco would oxtend a franchlso to tho rsorthwestorn nnd is clearly a caso whero tho council proposes to glvo away rights which should bo a source ot Incomo to tho city.

"That question Is whether tho Northwestern or tho Burlington shall havo trackago alonsr Elchth street. ifmW tho laws of Nebraska tho Northwestern has tho right to tako tho ground it needs for laying Its track along tho stroot In question and it is not within tho nower of thn nitv council to grant tho company tho uso of iuo sireoi. Ail tno city enn do is regulato tho work nnd compel the company to lay Its tracks In such n manner that thov will conform with tho paving and other streots." Isaac E. Congdon, attornoy for tho Davis company, maintained that a railway cannot tako ground for nrlvato trncliaco under thn stato law nnd Insisted that tho spur which tno Nortnwcstorn proposes to lay along Eighth street Is not a railroad in tho mean ing applied to tho word In tho statutes ot Nebraska. Ho Insisted that whero a track Is laid to accommodate 'certain wholcsalo houses It cannot be laid without tho exten sion ot a franchise by tho council. A dis tinction was drawn botween through lines, with switches absolutely necessary to the carrying on of their through business, and spurs which invade tho wholesale district only. Should 1'uy the City, "The delivery of freight to wholesale houses and manufacturers Is Incident to tho business of a transcontinental line.

When you stop to con sider the millions upon mil lions of 5 cent cigars sold in the United States, you will realize the credit due and the support and backing all smokers owe to Bondy & Lederer.

If not recognized, such effort has little encouragement in modern business. Against all the trade jealousy and the enmity of the incompetents this concern afk! ttly the c081 ppre- wiohmk aau. manning. Congdon. "It Is a prlvilego from which tho city should derive revenue. Any attempt on tho part of tho council to grant this prlvilego freo to railroads Is an indirect way of disposing of city revenues."

No allusion to such a fcaturo will bo embodied In tho contract between tho railroad and tho city now In process of ovo lutlon at tho hands ot Mr. Connoll. Whether tho persons who fathered tho ro quost for this opening of a right-of-way havo abandoned tho project entirely Is not known. Thoy may bring It beforo tho city council when the contract comes up for approval. At present tho cbancos are fair for the completion of tbo agreement In tlmo for It to bo submitted to tho council next Tues day night. Union Pacific officials aro urg ing every hnsto posslblo In tho matter, as they say thoy aro anxious to begin whole sale work on tho new construction. Mr. Council nnd Mr. Rosowntor havo found that tho contract Is a bigger pleco of work than thoy had bargained for. It Involves nccurato acscrlptlons of ovory pleco of prop erty conveyed from onu party to tho other In tho ngrcomont and ovory financial and legal concession mado must also bo stipu lated at great length. The document when completed will coraprlso hundreds of type written pages. It is now finished snvo for ono feature. That is tho Inclusion of statements con corning tha sower rights secured by tho city from tho railroad company. This ro lates to tho agreement of tho Union Pacific to extend tho Izard streot ninln sower through Its territory from Eloventh to Eighth street, sorao COO feot, and to Its further concession allowing tho city tho right to construct at any tlmo a storm sower extending from tho now Twenty fourth street viaduct along tho Union Pa cific right of way to, tho Missouri river.
