Guam Wants IlonUs from
Nolirnskn.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 14. (Special.) Deputy
Clerk Nelson of the tuprcme court this
afternoon Issued tho mandato In the caio
of tho city of Omaha against former Fire
Chief Rcdell, ' which Is claimed Involves
the consltutfonatlty of the law which con
veyed to tho governor authority to np-
polnt the Omaha flro nnd polices board
By the terms set forth In the document
the decision of tho district court la re
versed and the caso Is remanded for fur
(her proceedings. Under tho rules no mo
tlon for rchtarlng can now bo filed In the
supremo court. If there aro any further
proceedings In the Caso they must be
In the district court, unless properly
Drought to tho higher tribunal on appeal.
Nobody at tho state house this afternoon
could speak with authority an to what
action the governor will tako regarding the
appointments. The governor' Is still in
Louisiana nnd will probably not return to
Nebraska until tho latter part of the week
Attorney General I'rout has tho matter
under consideration, but will give no ex
pression for publication. Ho has been
nsked by tho governor what action should
bo taken In view of the court's decision.
Mr. I'rout, It Is said, has been unable to
find any law or any authority under which
tho governor may make the appointments.
Deputy Drown came to the same conclusion
nnd his opinion was stnted emphatically
In a communication sent to the governor
several weeks ago.

A ,1 Superjntondant Fowler has beMitasked. by
n school teacher on tho Island of Guam to
send as a' Nebraska donation any school
books or supplies that may bo usod In tho
schools, of that Island. Tho request Is from
H. H. Hlntt, formerly 'of Broken Bow, who
says:
"Slnco taking charge of tho school work
hero I find many needs, which arc not
readily supplied. All our supplies are fur
nished by ho, Insular treasury. So wo havo
to use strict cqonomy. Now io the point,
Can you, out of your abundance, send us
tho needed things, free, as a Nebraska
donation? Socond-ham! material Is all that
wo can expect."
Mr. Fowler has directed the following
repjy:
"Regarding a donation of free text-books
from Nebraska teachers, I fear tho express,
freight, etc., would cost moro than tho
books unless franking prlvlloges bo secured.
Mr. J. F. Winters, agent for tho American
Book company, was in tho ofTleo yesterday
and his. attention was called to your letter.
He thought perhaps his company might have
somo second-hand books, charts, etc., which
would bo of rorvlco to you. I shall wrlto
tho different text-book companies on this
uggcstlon und It tho government will pay
tho transportation' charges I bellovo you
will bo able to secure great holp form these

"I shall write to Senator Dietrich. Con

I got along without having the dreaded operation. I huvo tahnn ten

' Dear Mrs. Pinkham : Some time ago I wrote you that my regular phy

Dear Mrs. Pinkham : One year ngo I read a letter in a paper telling
hpw much good ono woman had derived from Lydia E, Plnkhain'N

couraged, as the medicine the doctor gave me did me no good. I had kidney
complaint, Jcucorrhuja, itching, bcaring,-down feeling, and painful men
struation. I wrote to you describing my trouble and soon received an
answer telling me what to do. I followed your instructions, and have
taken nine bottles of Vegetable Compound, and used one package of Sanatlvo
ash, and ono box of Mvcr Pills. I am well now, do not havo those sick
spells at the monthly period, but cun work all day, and that I never could

Mrs. Pinkhatn's
Standing invitation.
In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your
private ills to a woman a woman whose experience in
treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living
physician male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting
to relate your private troubles to a man besides a man
does not understand simply because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have
immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them
to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and
probably examinations of even their family physician. It
is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult
a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is
greater than any local physician. The following invitation
is freely offered ; accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of female weakness
are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham
at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and
answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of
her private illness to a woman ; thus has been established
the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never been broken. Out of
the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has gained the very know
ledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return
except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she docs
not take advantage of this generous offer.
