Attorney Ware, who made the closing

Witnesses Get Little.
i Boenort and C. II. Young, the Chicago
witnesses for the defense who were sub
poenaed at the expense of the state, were
much surprised to learn yesterday when
they went to receive their witness fees that
the state would not allow them any mile
age. The mileage was refused on the rec
ommendation of County Attorney Klllpack,
who takes the stand that the defense could
have aken the depositions of these wit
nesses and that the supreme court has
held that where it was possible for the
evidence of the witnesses living at a dis
tance to have been taken by deposition
the state was not liable for mileage.
It la said that when Rogers' attorneys ap
plied for an order to aubpoenae the wit
nesses for the defense at the expense of
the state the court tirdered that the ques
tion of mileage be left for future deter
mination. County Attorney Klllpack now
arguea that the attorneya for Rogera be
fore subpoenaing their witnesses should
have had this question determined by the
court or else have secured their testimony
by depositions.
Aa the matter now stands these two wit
nesses have been paW but their witness
fees of $1 per diem and are out the money
they have paid for their fare from Chicago
and back. J. noenert stated yesterday that
he would remain here and bring suit to
recover his mileage unless the court made
an order for Its payment. Attorney Myn
ster has prepared and will file with the
court Monday a motion to have the fees of
these witnesses ret axed and their mileage
allowed.

somewhere In the vicinity of the Illinois
Central depot. It Is now s'lirfrcstcd that the
followlrr proposttlon be submitted to the
voters at the schoi.l election next month:
chnll a sum of money not less than

rnd that proper schools b ralrtnleil for
the ecrnrnmodotlon of school children In

offered as a compromise and Is said to be
satisfactory to laith the residents of the
western "art of the city and those In the
neighborhood of the Illinois Central.
Members of the board, however. It Is
understood, do not look with favor on the
proposition to erect a new school building
at this time, but If the request to sub

number of signature of bona fide tax
payers the board will have no choice In
the matter but to submit to the voters at
the school election on March 14.
The matter will coma up for definite

(From 6ts.fT Correspondent.)
DES MOINK8. Feb. 30. (Special.) The
two hoiigPB of the legislature held brief
sesHlons today and adjourned, the senate
until 11 o'clock Monday and the house to
10 o'clock Tuesday next. The house passed
a measure of great Importance relating- to
savings banks, which removes the limita
tion on savings banks of Investment of
:helr funds within the state. This llmlta
'..on has been on the statute books since
the beginning of the savings banks system.
They have tried many times to get it re
moved so that, especially in the case of
banks In cities on the borders of the state,
they may do business In adjoining state.
The house today voted 3 to Si to remove
this limitation, after much spirited discus
sion. It was strongly contended by those
who opposed the measure that it would
open the way' to looses by permitting the
Investment of funds by savings banks In
states where thf secv;-'ty Is not good and
thus weaken the entire savings bank sys
tem. A bill to prevent trouble for note mak
ers, chiefly those who have given Insur
ance notes of various kinds, was paused.
It makes a provision where suit has been
brought on a note In a county other than
that. In which the defendant Uvea and he
appears to defend and the plaintiff aban
dons the suit, the Justice Is required to
charge up the fees to the plaintiff, Includ
ing an r.ttorney fee. The bill Is almtd at
the Insurance notes which are made pay
able at the home office and on wjilch stilt
Is brought when there Is na valid cace and
then abandoned if there Is defense, but
which suits are generally settled as
cheaper than to defend and defeat them.
It piused 07 to 10.
A bill to change the tin e of meeting of
the State Roard of Health from Muy to
July snd from November to January WuS
passed.
Fcnnte Proceed Inas.
The advocates of an amendment to the
stute constitution In favor of woman suff
rage kept up their bombardment of the leg
islature tuiljj'. Several petitions were In
troduced. One from Senator Iewls of Page
was Jlgned by 2.217 infn and 41'fi women of
that county and another by seventy 111- !
sens. !
Senator Wilson of Oelweln presented a I
pctltlun from the physicians of AllamaUee
county usking favorable a tlon of the 1 g
iHlature on the'pemllng bill appropriating
IIDO.OOU for the erection by the state of a
sanitarium fur the treatment of tubercu
losis. It was nt.iti-d In the petition that
mure than J.Mii deaths occur arnun'ly In
Iowa from thla dlsFuse.
More pctitkns were Introduced usking the
adoption of laws to prevent irap-phooting
and ducking of horses' t.ills.
Several bill were parsed by Ihe senate.
Including Wurren's measure giving the
state mine ItiFpeitor authority over the
frypetim mines of the Hate. The bill waa
asked for by the miners. Wlnne's bill giv
ing the Pt:ite Hoard of Control authority
to Invesitgite complaints mude by Inmates
of rniinty and private Institutions for the
inrane of the Mate was also panned.
The senate concurred In the house Joint
resolution providing for the purchase of i
chairs snd g ,vel for the use of the presi
dent of the senate nnd speaker of the
houie.
1'nlltlea la the legislature.
It has juit come to light that during Ihe
pnst week sn effirt was made to hidure the
democrats in the legislature 1 to make a
political play that would Intensify the fac
tional strife In the republican party In the
state and cause some embarrassment to
Governor Cummins. A committee waited
on leading members of tha democratic
minority and asked them father a reso-

Ilyomei's Success
in Omaha
Cured Many Scrlnna Cases af Catarrh,
Mierraan . A MoCoimell Drust Co.. !
Corner Kith and I)udr ts., Omaha, !
Mill Hefand Money If It Fells. j
No other medicine or treatment for !
catarrh h.ts ever achieved such quick an I '
remarkable success In Omaha as Hyim.fi. :
The fact that Sherman & Mi Connell '
when they first Introduced Hyomcl sold It J
under a positive Kuumnlee to rsfjnd the
money In case it did not cure contribute 1 j
largely to its successful Introduction. A !
guarantee from a firm like Sherman & j
McConnell ga.ve people conlldence at the .
tarr. '
Thi-iKu who obtained a Hyomcl outfit
found that the treatment did all that wan i
claimed for It; that the first few breuths
of Hyorrel ' cleared the air passageH and
gave an exhilarating and Invigorating
efTct. Its continued use freed the system
from all catarrhal germs, soothed and
healed the mucous membrane, and madu i
a complete snd lasting cure. i
Compared with the dangerous stomach !
drugging that has been used heretofore In j
the treament of catarrh, the balsamic air
of Hyomel created a most favorable j
ImprfSFlon. And the medicine Itself did
even more than wss claimed for It. In fact, !
to make a succes. It was necessary that j
Hyomel should cure nearly every case of !
catarrh In which It was lined, for every !
outfit was sold on a guarantee to refund
the money In cns It failed. .
If It hud not possessed unusuil merit, un !
offer IlUe this would have rniulted In an
enormous loss. Put curing as It did, Hyn
ml foon gained en enviable reputation
snd mads many friends who recommend It
far and near. Its success here In Omaha
hss been remarkable, snd Sherman A
McConnell Drug Co., Corner 16th and
Dodge 8ts., are latlll selling It on their
personal guarantee to refund the money
la case it doe not give satisfaction.
