Reward of Merit.
A New Catarrh Cure Secure National Popu
larity In Lett than One Year.
Throughout a great nation of eighty
tnllllon It Is a desperate struggle to secure
oren a recognition for a new article to say
nothing of achlovlng popular favor, and yet
within one year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
the new catarrh cure, has met with such
lucccsa that today It can be found In every
drug store throughout tho United States
nd Carada.
To be aure a large amount of advertising
was necessary In the first Instance to brlns
tho remedy to the attention of tho public,
but overyono familiar with the subject
knows that advertising alone never made
any nrtlclo permanently successful. It must
have In addition absolute, undeniable merit,
and this the new catarrh euro ccntalnly
possesses In a marked degree.
Thyslclans, who formerly depended upon
Inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint
ments, now uso Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
bocauso, as one of tho most prominent
stated, tbeso tablotn contain In pleasant,
convenient form all the really emdent ca
tarrh remedies, such ns red gum, blood
root and similar antiseptics.
They contain, no cocalno nor opiate, and
ure given to little children with entire
safety and benefit.
Dr. J. J. Itoltlger, of Covington, Ky., says:
"I suffered from catarrh In my head and
throat every fall, with stoppnge of the noso
ond Irritation In the throat nffoctlng my
olco and often extending to the stomach,
causing catarrh of tho stomach. I bought
a fifty-cent pacltago of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at my druggist's, carried them In
tny pocket and used them faithfully, and tho
way In which they clearod my head and
throat was certainly remarkable. I had no
catarrh last winter and spring and consider
myself entirely free from any catarrhal
trouble."
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W. Va.,
Vrltes: "I suffered from catarrh nearly my
-wholo life and last winter my two children
also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore
throat so much they were out of school a
largo portion of the winter. My brothor
who was cured of catarrhal deafness by
using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged mo to,
try them "so much that I did so and am
truly thankful for what they havo done
for my solf and my children. I always keep
a box of tho tablets In tho houso and at tho
first appcaranco of a cold or sore throat
wn nip It in the bud and catarrh Is no
longer a housohold affliction with ub."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 15. (Special.) Attorney
Oeneral I'rout tonight denied the report
that the State Hoard ot Compromise Is
negotiating tor a settlement of the short
age of former Treasurer Hartley.
"Several weeks ago the board had a
proposition from the bondsmen, but It was
promptly turned down," said he. "The
board has taken no steps whatever toward
the settlement of tbo claim against the
bondsmen, Tho offer they made was so
Insignificant that wo decided not to give
It to the public. Nor have any steps been
taken by tho board townrd a settlement
with Joseph Hartley."
The case of tho stato against tho bonds
men Is still pending before the supreme
court and will be called for hearing at an
early day. There is some likelihood ot the
bondsmen making another effort to effect
n compromise before the case Is submitted,
but It Is not likely that the board will take
the Initiative.

Tho legality of the peddler's license law,
which was passed by the last legtslaturo,
Is questioned In the case of Gerard against
tho Stato, now pending before tho supremo
court. In the trial court of "Hall county
W. E. Gerard was convicted for peddling
without n license. From that Judgment an
appeal was taketrand four reasons are now
given for a reversal. 'They nre:
First Tho peddler's license, law Is a
revenue measure for tho purpose of raising
taxes; and nonpayment of taxes cannot
bo punished criminally.
Second Tho title of tho act Is not broad
enough to embraco a criminal provision.
Third The law is too Indefinite and un
certain It Its provisions to bo valid as a
criminal measure.
Fourth Tho law exompts certain per
sons from the payment of taxes and Is
therefore not uniform In Its opcrntlon and
Is unconstitutional.

GOOD FOR ALL AMERICANS
Declnrntlnn of Independence Jiat
Written for 177(1 Alone, lint for
All Time.
AINSWORTH, Neb., Jan. 15. To tho
Editor ot The Deo: In your short synopsis
of the address ot Hon. John L. Webster
delivered before the Dar association I no
tice tho following statement In reference
to the Declaration of Independence: "It
was a document for tho time, etc." This
doctrlno Is so distasteful to mo that I can
not keep still nnd yet I shall not ask suffi
cient space to answer his argumonta, but
you may bo willing to allow mo n few
statements. Thla Is not Mr. Webster's
first offense. On moro than one occasion
during tho past two or three years he has
taken It upon himself to assuro the people
that wo have outgrown tho principles of
government set forth In tho Declaration of
Independence, and this, In the face ot tho
fact that our supreme court has but ro
cently declared that this declaration la
the spirit of tho constitution. And so I
supposo If wo hnve outgrown tho spirit of
tho constitution wo bavo outgrown tho
constitution Itself also.
Dut why this over anxloty from certain
quarters to convince tho people that these,
fundamental principles of their govern
ment are too narrow for futuro use In tho
development and progress of their country?
These samo advocates admit that under
their benign Influence, we have outntrlppcd
all other nations In all things that go to
make a great and prosperous people. How
Is It that all nt anco these wise gentlemen
have discovered that we are hampered In
our onward progress by thoso very princi
ples ot the fathers which have made ua
realty great?. Is it because they think that
our presont policy and late bustory cannot
bo reconciled with the principles of liberty
and equal rights laid down In tho Declara
tion of Independence? It so, then far bet
ter change our present policy to fit our
history and traditions than undertako to
ovorturn and destroy these fundamental
principles of government so gallantly
fought for by tho heroes of 1776 and so
zealously guarded by the immortal Lincoln.
who pronounced them as enduring as time.
The people will believe Lincoln.
To mo, to contend that this declaration
was only a "document for thb ttmo" and
that we as a nation havo outgrown Its use
fulness to us, la far more censurable than
to question tho wisdom of our present pol
icy and seeming departure from tho "old
land marks."
It is always easy to drift with the cur
rent nnd desire to be "on the ground floor"
In all radical changos and movements In
government, but the wise atatesman knows
that all change 1b not progress and that
the spirit of the former alone la easily mis
taken for .that of the latter.
I trust, that this now-fangled doctrine
may not take deep root in Nebraska, but
that we may rathor chooso to abldo In the
faith of our fathors, who would have as
soon thought of claiming that tho ten com
mandments had become obsoleto as that the
principles of their Declaration of Inde
pendence ahould fail. They both contain
truths that will remain to the end of time.
and, so far as my observation does, those
Who would limit the life of the latter
would be willing to attend tho funeral of
the former. I trust Webster Is not of this
class. L. K. ALDER.

WRIT OF MANDAMUS THE REMEDY
Opinion ot Attorney Oenernl I'rout
Declares Hint I.eitnl Vntern Mny lie
Compelled to Vote School
Tnxen.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 15. (Special.) In nn
opinion given today Attomoy General
Prout declares that for the purpose of pre
venting tho wrongful closing of public
schools because of lack ot funds the countv
superintendent may apply to the district
court for a peremptory writ of mandamus
to compel the legal voters of tho district
to meet nnd vote taxes pursuant to the re
quirements of the law.
Superintendent Fowlor says that In many
districts In tho state the voters havo
failed to provide for the expenses of tho
schools. He has been asked to suggest a
remedy for this condition and because of
Its legal naturo the question was submitted
to tho attorney general. The ruling is
conclusive nnd Mr. Fowldr says h? will
expect county superintendents to act ac
cordingly.
The question asked by Mr. Fowler Is:
"Whcro no levy was voted at tho annual
meeting for school purposes, or whero tho
dlstrlot voted to havo no school, or where
no action was taken, by the annual meet
Ing to provide for school, what should be
tho method of procedure to Insure tho chil
dren of such district their light to attend
a free public school?"
Attorney Oenernl'a Ilepnse.
Tho rosponeo of Attorney General Prout
follows:
The question presented Is Important, but
not free from perploxltles. The people of
this state when they adopted the present
constitution declared a purpose to grant
to nil persons between 6 and 21 years of
ago the right to Instruction In the common
schools. An enlightened citizenship was
thought to be essential to tho proper and
efficient ndmtnlstratlon of the form of gov
ernment ndopted. To provldo opportunities
tor education Is, therefore, ono of tho chief
concerns of tho state. A school district Is
organized pursunnt to law for educational
purposes and Is clothed with power to
oarry thoso purposes Into effect. Tho Idea
that a school district mny defeat by ballot
the purposes of Its creation nnd thus de
prive Its resident children of educational
rights guaranteed by the constitution Is
not to bo entertained for a moment. A
vote to deny such rights Is void. jVn elec
tion resulting In n decision to closo tho
common schools for n year, except on ac
count of nn epidemic or other good reason.
Is nn absolute nullity, whcro It deprives
schoolable children of their rights to freo
Instruction.
Count Kutlnnnl Provisions.
The manner of enforcing n child's rights
to educational advantages, whoro such
rights have been denied by tho contumacy
of tho electors of n rurnl school district,
Is therefore the problem for solution.
As already stated, tho mandate, of tho
law Is that there shall be school. A fair
Interpretation of tho statutes Justifies the
conclusion that theru shall bo nt least
throo months of school ench year. Thcro
must bo nt least one term. Schoolable
children are required to uttend school at
least two moiithM of every year. Provision
is made for school in districts having four
pupils or less. Upon tho legal voters of a
rural school district the law Imposes tho
duty of voting revenue, to run tho schools.
They may provide for more thnn throe
months of school, but they cannot provldo
for less. They may determine at tho an
nual meeting whother the school funds
"shall bo applied to the winter or summer
term or it certain portion to each."
"Leant Voters' Not Whole District.
Tho "legal voters" of a school district,
who havo so much power, are not tho
wholo district. They comprise only a frnc
tlon thereof. Children, ns- well as women
who cannot vote, nre citizens of tho dis
trict. Children nro not only entitled to tho
protection of tho laws, Miit they nre en
titled to educational iidvAutagcH fur which
tho laws provide. Tho lennl voters nt an
annual scnool meeting therefore do not
act for themselves .alone,- hut they uct for
the entlro district In relation to duties
pointed out by law. Legal voters ftt an
annual meeting nro charged with public
duties relating to one of tho most essential
functions of government.
For purposes of tho present inquiry it
matters not whether the legal voters at an
annual meeting nre regarded as public
officers or ns Individuals. The result in
either situation Is tho same, slnco the du
ties Imposed upon tliom by Inw nro duties
which they owo to tho public. If thoy nro
looked upon as ofllccrs, or a n board
charged with public duties, then tho power
of the courts to compel them by rnnn
damua to provldo necessary revenuo to
support tho schools cannot bo doubted.
Ottlccrs who ure required by law to assess
or levy taxes for school purposes may bo
required by mandamus to perform tlfat
duty.
If legal voters at un annual meeting nro
regarded ns Individuals, then thoy nro In
dividuals charged by law with tho per
formance of a duty to tho public. Thoy
cannot avoid a public duty on tho ground
that they aro Individuals. It linn been de
cided by the supremo court of this state
nnd by other courts that a duty unjoined
by statute Upon nn Individual may bo en
forced by mandamus, whero tho duty re
lates to tho public welfnre.
For tho reasons stated I am of tho anln.
Ion that tho legal voters of a rural dis
trict. In n nroner case, nuiv bo eomnelieil
by mandamus to vote revenue for school
purposes.

guardlnn of a schoolable child may main

writ of mandamus to compel tho legal
voters to meet and vote revenue for school
purposes. Failure of tho electors to vote
the tax at the time designated by statute
doss not prevent the legal performance of
that duty nt n later date. Where tho peti
tioner Invoking such n remedy Is one of
tho legal voter of the school district ho
should pray for n writ to compel the other
legal voters to unlto with him In voting
such taxes.
ItlRhts nt Children Xot Last.
In tho Improbable event that no one can
bo found In tho district who Is willing to
bring a suit, still the rights of the chll-
aren win not tie lost. One of tho duties
; Imposed by statute upon the county super
i lutendent of public Instruction 1 " to se
cure genernl nnd ,regular attendance of the
I children of his county uponthe pubtlo
schools." He cannot perforin this duty un
less the schools are open, nnd the schools
cannot bo kept open without revenue. The
power of the superintendent to require the
attendance of pupils implies the power to
Invoke the nld of tho courts to prevent the
wrongful closing of the schools. Where the
law lmpoxFs a duty upon an officer, and the

according to my understanding of the Inw,
may apply to the district court for a per
emptory writ of mandamus to compel the
legal voters of a rural school district to
meet nnd vote taxes pursuant to the re
quirements of the statute. This Is tho view
taken by tho supreme court of this state In
a caso Involving the same principle.

Backs
If you happen to be one
of those unfortunate people
aching back, it is time you
were finding out about Omega Oil.
Go ahead and try it, anyhow. Once
in a while Omega Oil fails to cure
a very bad case of long standing,
but there never was a
case where it failed to
give great relief. Be
fair about it, and give
the Oil a chance. Have
vour back rubbed with
it every night for a
week or two. While you
are using the Oil, be care
ful not to strain the back,
and if you can you
should not do any hard
work. The rubbing
should be kept up about
ten minutes or more
each time Omega Oil
is applied. A bad back
needs more rubbing and
longer treatment than a
mild case, and you must be pa
tient. Weak back is sometimes
very stubborn, but Omega Oil
will be found to work wonders
if constantly used. New cases
are much easier to cure. 7t

Even my mental capacity waa Klvlna out,

attention to It, had It not promlsod ft

Swamp-Hoot Is purely vegetable, and does
not contain any harmful drugs.' I am
seventy years and four months old, and
with a good conscience I can recommend
Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kidney

have been using Swamp-Root for four dif

good results.'
With many thank" to you, I remain,
