CHECKS THROAT THOVHLKS IX UKCilXXlXG CVH ES AT ASiV STAGE
As In Mr. Hales' case, when a cold gets a start you never know what's to fo'low.
Nlnetv-nlne cases out of a hundred of consumption, bronchitis, grip, pneumonia and
diphtheria start with a cough. Malaria, ague, typhoid fever and nervous breakdown
are the Immediate consiliences of letting the isstcm get Into a low state of vitality,
but generally begin with a cold. Check the mill right at the start with Duffy s
Pure Malt whiskey and be on the rafe side. If you have let any of these trouble
get a hold, or If you have Indigestion. "Duffy's" will cure you. no matter how had
you are. Nine thousand doctors and hospitals use It exclusively. Druggists and
grocers everywhere sell It. $!.( a bottle. Nothing gives health to the sick, strength
to the young and weak, and vigor to the aged and broken down so quickly and
thoroughly. It Is absolutely pure and free from fusel oil,
WARKIJiO You need no other medicine, bat bo certain to get tbo
genuine Daffy's Par Malt Whiskey, pat ap only In sealed bottles, with tbo
Old Chemist" trade-mark on the label. Don't bo deceived by unreliable
dealers Into accepting; a substitute that will not core, bat will do yon
harm. They tell "' J a good as Duffy's," because there Is a little
more profit in It for them. The genuine la never sold in bulk.

COURT RECORD . DISTORTED
Governor Mickey Hot s Party at Interest in
the Btmuelaon Case.
SIMPLY AGENT FOR AN EASTERN ESTATE
Fusion Committee Arranges far Final
Tour of Bryan Through Ne
braska Commencing Next
Monday.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 25. (Special.) In
the story published in the World-Herald of
last Sunday regarding the case of Mickey
against Bamuelson, now In the supreme
court, the reporter has followed the usual
fusion methods of quoting records to suit
the occasion. The records In the case filed
show that Governor Mickey merely acted
aa the agent of A. E. Smith In loaning the
money to Bamuelson; that he did not re
ceive a single cent from Bamuelson for own
benefit; that he did not receive any deed
from Bamuelson for his own benefit, and
never got back from Bamuelson the money
loaned to him by the Bank of Osceola,
Aa shown by the records in the supreme
court, from which the World-Herald Is al
leged to have secured Its Information, the
iacts in the case are as follows, and the
records are still here to substantiate these
facts:
Oscar A. Johnson sold a Polk county
farm to Oscar Bamuelson on November IB,
1892. The farm was then mortgaged to the
Connecticut Life Insurance company for
$1,200. Arthur E. Smith afterwards bought
this mortgage. November 15, 1KB. Bam
uelson applied to Oovernor Mickey
for a loan, and the latter, acting
for Smith, loaned Samuelson 11,500 at 8 per
cent Interest, and took a mortgage on the
farm. The same day Mickey, acting as
agent for the Osceola bank, loaned Bamuel
son 175 at 10 per cent Interest and took a
mortgage on the farm. A week later Bam
uelson gave Johnson a mortgage on the
farm for $700 to secure the remainder of the
purchase price of the farm. These mort
gages In all amounted to $3,475. In his suit
to redeem the farm Samuelson testified that
he had paid for It $3,900, his equity being,
therefore, $425, Mickey, as agent for Smith,
carrying Samuelnon through the panto,
March 28, 1897, according to the records on
file, the lower court found In regard to
Bamuelson and his troubles aa follows:
What Record Shown.
All four of said mortgages were due or
about to become due and a large amount
of accrued interest and taxes thereon were
overdue and unpaid, and the plaintiff,
Samuelson, was given means at said time
to pay any of the same or the principal of
said mortgages.
While mines were in this condition
Samuelson and his wife deeded the farm to
Mickey. The quest. at issue In the suit
to redeem the farm by Samuelson waa
whether Mickey held the deed in trust for
Arthur K. Smith, for whom he was agent
In loaning money to 8amuelson, or whether
Mickey held the title to the land for the
benefit or Bamuelson, wno oorrowea tne
money The court found for Samuelann,
but found also that Mickey, as agent, con
veyed the title to Smith without compen
sation otner man tne mortgages; mat
Mlrkev received no consideration from
Samuelson and that Samuelson never paid
the Osceola bank Its mortgage, Dut atlU
owes thereon the aum of $1-6.11.
The question to be determined by the su
preme court is whether the deed to Mickey
was intended by the parties aa a mortgage.
The records in the supreme court show
that it was Intended by Samuelson as an
absolute deed, and that for four years he
so treated it, the records showing that for
four different years he had leased the
farm from Mickey. By written leases It
is shown that during these four years
Samuelson recognised Mickey aa the sole
agent of the land and that he paid Mickey
rental. ' The records showk that Samuelson
agreed to give Mickey possession of the
farm upon a failure to pay rental and that
he agreed to mortgage hla crop to Mickey.
There is absolutely nothing In the rec
ords to show that Mickey made any il
legal agreement or exacted unlawful In
terest. The records show that Governor
Mickey acted in good faith with those for
whom he was agent and that his dealings
with Bamuelson were just. The decree of
Judge Kvane shows that Mickey received
no personal benefits in his transactions
with Samuelson. Judge Evans did not find
that Mickey's testimony In the case waa
false. There Is absolutely nothing In the
records to impeach the Integrity of the
governor.
Bryan's Final Tour.
The fusion state committee has arranged
the Itinerary of W. J. Bryan during the clos

Work on Light Plant.
Work on the municipal lighting plant will
begin at once. Immediately after the coun
cil refused to reconsider lta action on the
bids last night. Mayor Adams aigned the
resolutions, and this afternoon E. W,
Schurlg, manager of the Nebraska Electric
company, left for Omaha to secure his
bond.
Beginning of work on the new plant at
the Mockett well will depend, for a time
at least, on the celerity with which the
Rock Island can build Its new sidetrack
to that point. All men who bid on the
construction work did so with the under
standing that the track will be laid so
that they will not have to haul any of their
material thlthor by wagon. The brick men
especially are interested in this track, aa
without it they would have to haul their
brick nearly one-half mile from the cars,
and thla would be expensive. Their bids
would have been about $1 per thousand
higher had they counted on this. Attorney
Blillngsley told the council last night that
the track would be laid at once, according
to hla Information from headquarters, so
that the work can begin shortly.
The lunch room at the high school build
ing, conducted under the direction of a
committee from the Lincoln Woman's
club, has been a financial success. The
report of Mrs. Bchlesinger, chairman of
the lunch room committee, made to the
club yesterday, showed that the profit on
each meal was about one-half cent, and
that there was In the treasury after a
year's work $103.19. The club voted the
money to Principal Wolfe and he will use
It in making the second payment on the
new grand piano recently purchased. At
the meeting $500 waa presented to the
building committee of the State university,
to be used In the erection of the new tem
ple. Mrs. M.- H. Bushnell, the new presi
dent of the Federation of Woraen'a clubs,
made a short addresa.

MACCABEES

TTRMOIL
Trr Meetings Held at Graad Island
and Division May Result. v
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. .
(Special.) At a meeting of delegates
from the varloua Macabee lodges
tn the atata last evening a tem
porary organisation waa perfected, with
R. O. Adams of thla city aa president
and Charles Blehl aa secretary, looking to
the organisation of a Jurisdiction of Mac
cabees Independent of the supreme tent.
The meeting waa called by the Grand Is
land lodges. Forty-four tenia, or lodges,
outside of the city were represented. The
purpose was to discuss the raise of ratea
made at the last supreme convention of the
lodges. Aa far aa can be learned thla In
crease was made without a submission of
the proposition to the local tents. ' The
form of the organisation of what la called
the supreme tent la representative. It Is
complained of that while the organisation
has a national organ, the Bee Hive, the
readers of the aame were not advised of
any such proposition until after their rep
resentatives, with but one or two excep
tions, had been chosen.
An afternoon session waa held at which
the action Increasing the rates and the
necessity therefor was dlscusued pro and
con. During this discussion objection was
made to the Increase so long aa there waa
a aurplua reserve fund of over $3,000,000 on
hand. The proposition to organize a Juris
diction In thla state was also discussed
and from the statements of aome of the
delegates It appears that opinion was quite
one-sided in favor of taking such a step.
The officers above named were therefore
chosen aa temporary officers and commit'
tees on legislation and for other purposes
were appointed.
An Incident of the meeting waa the fact
that while the sessions of these delegate
were held at the city hall and new court
house, respectively, in the afternoon and
evening, a counter meeting was called for
the Ancient Order of United Workmen hall,
by public advertiaement at which 'Supreme
Counsellor Altken of Flint, Mich.; Supreme
Organlaer Emmerln of Iowa, State Com
mander Ostrom of Omaha and Deputy
State Commander Orcutt were present. The
local members, however, with one or two
exceptions, attended the meeting of the
reorganizes and not until temporary or
ganisation had been perfected and It had
been decided to Uke atepa In the direction
of a temporary organisation, were they In
vited to appear In the other meeting. They
had. Indeed, retired and gone to their ho
tels, when a committee waa sent to them
Inviting them to appear. The condltiona
of the organisation were then reviewed and
the reasons for the action In raising the
rate explained. .- ... .!:
It la stated that one of1 the reasons) of
the decided objection of the Nebraska Mac
cabees to the Increase In rates and of the
general desire for an independent Jurisdic
tion la the faot that In these organisations
Nebraska, a healthy state. Is ioo frequently
called upon by way of assessments to make
up for the greater death rate tn states
the health conditions of which are not so
favorable.
This condition la aald not to exist alone
tn the ranks of the Maccabees, but also In
the ranks of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen and other fraternal organizations
having similar relations with the supreme
or grand organisations and tt is stated
that not only is this contemplated In a
measure in the grand lodge of Nebraska
Workmen for the near future, but that it
has already given occasion for consider
able forensic eloquence in past sessions.
MURDERER CARNS MAY BE DEAD
Battle on Sandbar Alleges Death of
Slayer of Iowa Sheriff.
DECATUR, Neb., Oct. . 28. (Special.)
This afternoon aa the younger people of
the town were down to th river watching
a minstrel ehow crosa from Iowa, some or
the young boys croased the river In a
row boat and aa the boat neared the Iowa
aide. a lad by the name of Fred Morlcy
Jumped ashore to tie the boat, and as
he was. In the act of tleing it to an old
atump near the bank he noticed the neck
of a bottle protruding out of the aand.
After making the boat fast he pulled the
bottle out of Its hiding place, which proved
to be a half-pint whisky flanc, ana swash
ing it back and forth In the water several
time to wash the aand from It, he noticed
a piece of paper Inside the bottle.
As there waa no other way to get the
paper out only to break the bottle he' hit
It over the log and broke It. On getting
the paper out and examining it he found
that there waa writing on it. Handing It
to a man who waa near by, the man was
astonished to read these words.' "This Is
to let the world know that I am dead Edd
Carna the slayer of the sheriff of Monona
Co Iowa."
There waa no punctuation mark of any
kind on the paper and it read exactly as
reproduced here.- The piece of paper ta
about two inches one way by two and
a half the other, waa folded three times
ao aa to admit entrance Into the buttle
and when the boy opened the paper it had
a atrong odor of whisky still on it, and
even now the amell of strong vinegar can
be noticed.
On one side of the paper the writing Is
nearly illegible. The paper is about as
heavy as a poatal card and Is cut very
uneven on all four aides. It is now In
the possession of the local editor here,
George Morley, who la a brother of the
lad who found It.
This may be the work of aome wag up
north, who haa seen a good chance for a
Joke and It may be the handwriting of
the murderer of Sheriff Strain of Onawa,
la., aa It aaya The paper has undoubtedly
been In its hildng place ror some time,
being washed there during the high water
In the spring, aa It waa Imbedded In the
aand with only the neck protruding.
Thla piece of paper may Identify the
body of a man who waa found floating
down the river aome time ago.
