iKinr.i a Staff Correspondent.)
Dec. . fSpeclal.) It la up to
Attorney General Prout to say whether
the state shall brine suit sgalnst former
Adjutant General Colby for U1 alleged to
have been collected by Mm In premium!
on warrants.' Thla morning Governor
Mickey received a letter from General
Colby which the governor took to mean
that the money would be paid Into th
stHtn treasury when the courts decided that
It liad to be paid there. The governor
promptly turned the correspondence over
to Attorney General Prout for Ms opinion
In the matter. -The first question, to be
;( I tied by the legal head uf the state Is
whether he should bring suit or whether
tue matter should be turned over to the
Judgff advocate general of the National
On ird.
Among lepal men It Is a question whether
ti e state can recover In such a suit. Some
in-.vyers say that when the warrants were
leaned to General Colby to pay certain
uaims the only lntere.it the state had In
the matter waa the face of the warrant,
lr General Colby sold the warrants at a
premium, one of the lawyers said, it was
of no consequence to the state, Inasmuch
as Ita Interest was merely for the amount
of the warrant. Others have suggested
that no state treasurer ever has had any
authority to pay a premium on a warrant
and that stats treasurers who have dons so
could be held liable bi their bonds. Tht
practice of paying premiums was discon
tinued some three yean asp. It was
started ' by outside person paying; a
premium and thus forcing the treasurei
to do tbe same In order to get the invest
imnts fo;- thi school fund.
'. v-'iy the governor and Adjutant Gen
er.: C'ulVer have been buy dividing up
thi n.oney re.olvej from General Coiu
tetseen th federal and stats governments.
It his bien decided that the IZ,2v0 and
some odd dollars received on the blanket
deal should go to the federal governtrerr.

bad wreck occurred on the Union Pacific,
at the crosslug of that road with the North
western four miles west of this city early

east bound, went on to the derailing switch
and ths engine and ten cars left the track.
Fortunately, the engine did not topple over.
Fireman D. McPonell jumped jind was con-
siaerarjjy Druised. . The Lincoln freight on
the Northwestern reached the crossing just
ahead of 66 and the slgnsl operator gave
them the whits light, at the same time
turning the red light on the Union Pacific
train, which was approaching from the
weat. Engineer Ford of No. 66 evidently
did not see the red light, but Fireman Mc-
Donell did. He shouted to the engineer and
jumped off on the right side. Ford shut
off steam and put on brakes, but it was too
lats and the freight went onto the derail
ing switch. He and Head Brakeman Ward
stuck to the train and sustained no worse
Injuries than a shaking up. The first few
ears back of tbe engine plied up, blockad
ing the main line. Tha Union Pacific ran
Its trains over the Northwestern tracks
between this rtty and Ames this morning.
About half of ths Northwestern freight had
crossed tha tracks when No. 66 went onto
ths switch. A similar accident to the same
trains in which three men were killed oc
curred at ths same crossing about two
ytars ago.

Mot an I'nnanal Instance.
"I used Pyramid Pile Cure and have not
had any trouble since. I have been a
sufferer with piles for twenty yara I
think it is ths best remedy on earth for
pllea Hoping this may help others to uss
this remedy," Mrs. J. D. Teller, R. F. D.
20, Sparta, Mich.
It Is a singular fact that although many
women suffer from piles, or hemorrhoids,
they frequently do not have proper treat
ment because of a delicacy women have in
mentioning suoh a subject. Especially Is
this the rase with those who have no hus
band or brother in whom they can confide;
and a physician is seldom consulted until
ths pain aud agony Incident to pl.les be
comes unbearable.
Th6usands of women have suffered even
longer than did Mra Teller, always sx
perlencing slight or temporsry relief. If any,
from the various remedies used and finally
settling down to the conviction that a oure
in their cases was impossible. Pyramid
Plls Cure has corns as a boon to all such,
as it seldom. If ever falls to effect a perma

MUSIC AXD MUSICIANS
Jessica DeWolf, who sang lust night in
the First Baptist church. Is well along
among the few who are artists of the
voice. Such song recitals as this which
the Omaha concert promoters were able
to provide are not heard In Omaha so often
but that they are a treat to the musical
people that Is, the people who do not have
to have their music seasoned and gar
nished with calcium lights and rainbow
lingerie snd other piquant sauces of the
sort.
Mrs. DeWolf was heard with Interest by
as large an audience as the new First
church could hold. Her reputation in New
York wos known by many favorable com
ments In the eastern papers. It in safe to
Buy none of those who heard her last
night were disappointed. The singer was
even so heartily applauded after the last
number she felt moved to return for yet
anothor song. Her voice Is almost equally
pleasing In the wide variety of song which
found a place on the program. The pro
gram was In fact one of the most extensive
and interesting which has been offered to
Omaha people. It was not of the heavy
sort which some musical esthetics seem to
demand.
Port one of the program contained the
heavier selections, these being Haydn's
aria, "With Verdure Clad"; "Qual far Fa
Ictta," Haendel; Haydn's "My Mother Bids
Me Bind My Hair," and Elsa'a Dream,
from the Wagner opera. The first, second
and last of these were well liked by the
audience and Mrs. DeWolf wss recalled
several times. In the second part Schu
bert's "I'ngeduld" was the first of seven
short songs. Strauss' "Standchen" was
rewarded with much enthusiasm, as was
also the "Splnnerlledchen," which followed.
This was sung in German, but was under
stood by a large part of the audience.
"Fur Muslk." Franz; Dvorak's "Gypsy
Bong" No 4; Hollaender's "Juniper Tree"
end "Botschaft," Brahms, concluded ths
second part of the evening. The third
group of songs was perhaps the most popu
lar and were sung In a very artlutlo man
ner. Two of Henschcl's songs, "Come,
Sweet Morning," and "No More," were
among these selections. Becker's "Spring
Song," which waa particularly well liked;
a lullaby; Bishop's "Dashing White Ser
geant"; Nevin's "'Twos April," and a
"Btr,thday Song," by Cowen, completed the
program. Miss MacMIUan played a sym
pathetic and artistic accompaniment to th
singer.
