Talk of Constitutional Convention.
While the republicans of the state nre
discussing candidates to be nominated by
tho state convention to bo held on May 18
the uueetlon of holding a constitutional
convention continues to bob up. In the
call for the statj convention no mention la
made of the constitutional coyventlon,
though the convention can endorse or re
fuse to endorse If it sees fit. The late
legislature adopted a Joint resolution calling
for a constitutional convention and whether
not It will bo held will be decided by
the voters this fall and possibly the repub
lican state convention will take some action
In the matter.
While Uttlo talk so far has been hear 1
regarding the matter, sentiment Is divided.
Some think that a constitutional convention
would only be an unnecessary expense to
accomplish something that could be done
by constitutional amendments at a much
leas cost to the state. The last legislature
made It possible for constitutional amend
ments to be placed at the head of the
ticket, and If endorsed by a party a straight
party vote would be a vote for the amend
ment. Because of thla It is not unlikely
that amendments to the constitution could
be carried. A constitutional convention
wouTd cost the state about as much as a
session of the legislature, and with the
state debt out of all reason at this time It
Is probablo that the taxpayers will do con
siderable thinking before going into a con
stitutional convention.

It Is my exiierieuce aa a specialist of 30 years. In the book I tell howat last I
found a way to retich difficult. dr;-eated diseases. Thirty years of earnest, ardent
toll In hospitals snd st bed sides mn'.o It pollute for me to write these books.
The book tells how I perfected sny prescription Dr. Ehoop's Restorative. How by
scientific experiment I traced out he causej that bring on chronic diseases.
I found invariably that where there was a weakness, the Inside nerves wore weak.
Where there was a lack of vitality, the vita', nerves Licked power. Where weak or
gans were found, I elesys found weak nerves. Not the nerves commonly thought of,
but the vital organs' nerves. The lnlde the invisible nerves.
This was a revelation. Then my real suors began. Then I combined Ingredients
that would strengthen, that would vitalise, these nerves.
That prescription I called a restorative. It la known the world over now ss Dr.
Shoop's Restorative. After that I did not fall to cure one case In each hundred. In
. the extremely dll.ieult chscs. my failures for five years were one In each forty treated.
' I found cancer Incurable. Cancer Is for surgery, not medicine.
Then how to gtt this prescription to sick onea everywhere wss my thought. I
rnJst announce jit In the public press. But, thought I, will they realise ths real truth
of my discovery, the real power of Dr. Snoop's Restorative? Then a way came to
me like an Inspiration. "1 wl.l offer It to the sick on trial. Then they will know I
am 'sincere that n y prescription is unusual."
I wrote a reliable druggist In each city and vilUge In America, They agreed to
co-operate with trie. Now by any sick one. Dr. Snoop's Restorative ran be taken at
my risk. For a full month I will let you use It entirely st my risk.
Send no money. Just writs me for the book you need. When I send It I wl'l tell
you of a druggist near by who will permit tho month's trial. Use the Restorative a
mouth. Then decide. If you say to the druggist, "It did not help me," that will
relieve you of any expoiioe whatever. He will bill the cost to ma. This Is my way
of clearing your mind of all doubt as to what Dr. Snoop's Restorative can do.

sldlna. FREMONT. Neb., March 3. (Special Tele
gram.) The dead body of -Lee Roberts was
recovered this afternoon from the Ice about

near .mes. Death was evidently caused by
cold nnd exposure. Finding his way to tie
mainland cut off he had apparently
divested himself of coat and boots and at
tempted to swim to the north side, hut
was unable to do so on account of the told
and floating Ice. Then strutting back to
the Island and being unable t-j attract any
one's attention he perished from the cold
and exposure. His gun lay across his body.
The body was discovered late yusterday
afternoon, but on account of the masses of
floating Ice It was Impossible to recover It
Thla morning It was In the same place nnd
It was Anally reached by means of a bont.
Roberts went out hunting alone WedneFday
afternoon, going toward the river. As he
did not return Wednesday night his friends
became alarmed, fearing that he was on
some Inland and unable to get ashore. It
was only after two days' search that tho
body was found on the solid Ice, clad 1n
blue overalls and a heivy Jacket. By the
aid of a glass his features could be plainly
distinguished.
Roberts was about 36 years of age. He
had been in the employ of the Standard
company and had worked for different
farmers near Ames for several years, hut
was very "etlcent about himself, and noth
ing Is known of his relatives. There Is
nothing among his personal effects to give
any clew to them, lie is believed to have
come here from Ottumwa. la.
Waters Subside Slowly.
Enst of town . the water Is subsiding
slowly, but stllt covers thousands of acres.
The bridge at Valley Is reported gone nnd
a span or two out of that nt North Ilend.
No heavy loss has been reported except
that of Nick Schrelner, but the damage to
the country between Mercer and Fremorft
and to the north of Mercer will be heavy.
Many people vlltcd the top of the court
house today to see the flood. The Ice and
water extend over the tracks of the Union
Pacific from the C. E. Mayne ranch to
within two or three miles of Fremont, and
with the aid of a glass It could be seen
that the currant which did run to the north
was stationary. In the vicinity there are
quantities of ice. To the north of the rail
road and along the Omaha road the r roves
and form houses stand out like Islands,
which they are.' To the east on the Lone
Tree road seven or eight miles out there is
the grayish white mass of Ice and water.
The railroad track to the stock yards and
old packing house is free of ice and water,
and north of the yards there Is water, but
no ice. South and west of town the water
has gone down and the Flatte Is in its
channel. The Platte liver bridge can be
crossed and Is uninjured. Should the
weather be warm there will be mors dam
age southeast of town, and It le impossible
for the water from the east to reach the
city.
The gorge at Mercer extends west about
three miles and shows no signs of breaking
up. The rural mall earner on the Elkhorn
route was only able to reach a part of the
patrons of Ihe effloe today.
Sehrelner's Joss will reach $10,000. C.
Chrlstofferson loses hogs, fences and sheds
and the entire loss in that part of the
country will reach well up Into the thou
sands.
Conditions Near Taller.
VALLEY. Neb., March 5. (Special Tele
gram.) High water In the Platte river Is
causing much damage above Valley. There
Is little water here and the new Platte river
bridge Is safe. Between Mercer and Fre
mont probably a mile of Union Pacific track
has been washed out and water is flowing
from the Platte into the Elkhorn river.
At Waterloo the water is high and con
ditions are said to be serious. Many houses
of farmers are completely surrounded. The
report of the destruction of a bridge at
Mercer la a mistake, as there has been no
bridge at that place.

The great and effective work of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is no longer confined to
America. They are being used now all over

throughout foreign countries and they cure

ever, always makes it a point to get well
when It has nothing else to do. That's
what stomachs always have done and will
continue to do when they have the oppor

A prominent Detroit physician says: "I
prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all
oases of stomach trouble. I have tried
many prescriptions, including a number of
my own, but find nothing that gives such
universal relief aa this renydy. They are
natural, harmless and thoroughly effective
in their work, and while I have a natural
antipathy to patent medicines, I do not
hesitate to prescribe and recommend
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on all occa

Stuart's DyapVpsIa Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at fifty cents a box. They
are so well known and their popularity is
so great mat a aruggist would as soon
think of being out of alcohol or quinine.
The above testimonial of the physician is

nominate candidates for the offices of

Cures While
You Sleep
Hyorarl Guaranteed to t'nre Catarrh
or Money Refunded by Sherman
tt MoConnrll.
In addition to breathing Hyomel three or
four times a day through the Inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it Is well In the
treatment of catarrh or catarrhal colds to
moisten a piece of flannel with a few drops
of llyomel, and pin It to the night clothes
right under the chin. In this way llyomel
will be breathed the whole night long,
curing while you sleep. In moot cases It
will break up a cold over night.
The complete Hyomel outfit, consisting
of a pocket Inhaler, a medicine dropper,
and a bottle of Hyomel costs but one dollar.
Ths Inhaler will last a lifetime, and If
more Hyomel Is needed, extra bottles can
be obtained for fifty oents.
It is the most economical of all remedies
for the cure of catarrh, and the only one
that follows a natural method in treating
diseases of the respiratory organs. Physl
clans advlss a cb.at.ge ot climate for ths
ours of catarrh. With Hyomel, a change
of climate Is gained while at home. Its
healing balsams impregnate the air you
breathe, and their health giving and
germ destroying powers to go the most
remote air ells of the respiratory organs.
You take no risk In buying Hyomel. Sher
man A MoConnell, Comer sixteenth and
Dodge have so much confidence In Its power
to kill catarrh, grip, and catarrhal cold,
that they sell it under their personal
guarantee la refu&d the monsy If it falls to
curs.
