Some years ago while at work, I fell oyer
truck and severely injured both of tny
chins. - My blood became poisoned aa a re
sult, and the doctor told me I would have
running sores for life, and that if they were
healed up the result would be fatal. Under
this discouraging report I left off their
treatment and resorted to the use of S. S. S.
Jta effects were prompt and gratifying. It
took only a short while for the medicine to
entirely cure up the sores, and 1 am not
dead as the doctors intimated I would be,
jieither have the eorea ever broke out again,
and some twelve years have elapsed since
what I have described occurred. Having
been so signally benefitted by its use I can
heartily recommend it as the one great
blood purifier. John W. FuitDis,

Chronic sores start often from a pimple,
scratch, bruise or boil, and while salves,
washes and powders are beneficial, the un
healthy matter in the blood must be driven
out or the sore will continue to cat and
spread.
S. S. S. reaches these old sores through
the blood, removes all impurities and poi

strengthens the circulation. 8. S. S. is a

Company Claims Sot F.nongh Beets
Are Ratsed.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. . (Special.)
There is a very persistent rumor here,
with apparently considerable ground for
Its repeated circulation, that the American
Beet Sugar company is about to take a
significant step the dismantling and re
moval of one of its Nebraska factories to
Colorado. It Is again said for the rumor
has been circulated, denied, and again be
come current that within six months the
machinery of the Norfolk factory will have
been shipped to Lsmar, Colo.
Inquiry of reliable and directly disinter
ested parties at Norfolk, eome ten days
ago led to the Information that the pro
posed action came to the ears of Norfolk's
business men over a month ago. The busi
ness men took the matter up, made In
quiry of the officials of the company,
learned that the removal was In contem
plation because of the light acreage of
beets raised in that section of the state,
and set about In an effort to buy or lease
the plant This proved impractical for
some reason. It Is said that the company
then proposed that the business men of
Norfolk and the farmers Interested, pledge
an Increased number of acres of beets. 80
far as the business men of the city were
concerned no results obtained from this,
the business men not seeing their way
clear to make the guarantees. It was
stated then, that efforts were being made
to encourage the farmers who had raised
beets to Increase the number of acres con
tracted and to encourage non-beet raisers
to take small contracts. It Is to be added
that the Informants referred to the disin
terested Norfolk parties the entire posi
tion of the American Beet Sugarcompany
was largely In the nature of a bluff, made
for the purpose of securing a larger acre
age of beets.
The officials of the local company are
either not advised very fully In the matter
or are disinclined to give out what they
know. Nothing pertaining to the matter
can be learned from them.
"We should think," said one of them,
'that there will be an Increased acreage,
both at this factory and Norfolk,
for the company is going to put
out a still more favorable contract
next year $5 the ton for beets delivered to
the factory, giving the farmers the benefit
of the 25 cents per ton the companies have
to pay for freight and unloading, on those
shipped in."
The Orand Island factory is In an not al
together, dissimilar position. While many
more beets are raised by the farmers of
this vicinity, the acreage within the for
mer thirty mile non-competitive districts is
not sufficient to operate this factory with
profit and beets are shipped in all the way
from the next station west of Nershey. It
has the advantage, however, of being
nearer the other beet fields by 100 miles
and of providing for itself, a larger acre
age. A Lamar newspaper states that the busi
ness men and fanners of that vicinity
guaranteed to raise 4,500 acres of beets if a
factory were to be located there and have
secured not only the required amount, but,
to muke it good measure, have added 1,000
acres to It.
The farmers of this vicinity, who have
this year raised beets on the flat rate, at
$4-75 per ton for the beets delivered at the
factory by wagons, are well satisfied with
the returna and the $5 rate Is expected to
Increase the acreage for 1905 materially.
It Is possible that the dismantling of the
Norfolk factory will not take place; there
Is no question whatever but that it has
been proposed by the company, and that

DERBY I( CHARMED WITH PERJIHY
Witness for State In Llllie Case Sow
on Trial.
DAVID CITY, Neb., Dec. 8. (Special.!
The preliminary hearing of Charles W.
Derby, who is charged with committing
perjury In his testimony given In tho trial
of Lena Margaret Llllie, who was con
victed of the murder of her husband, Har
vey Llllie, in October, 1902, began this
morning before Justice of the Peace W. 8.
McCoy. Mr. Derby testified In the Llllie
trial that he, together with others, exam
ined the keyhole in the -kitchen door of
tho Lilllo house soon after the murder oc
curred and found dut and cobwebs therein,
which testimony was offered by tha state
.at the time to discredit the theory of the
defense that entrance to the Llllie home
had been gained by means of burglar
clamps used on the key in the kitchen
door. It is now alleged that the testimony
as to the examination of the keyhole and
the finding of dust and cobwebs therein
was false and untrue,
A motion was filed this morning by the
prosecution to remand the present prelimi
nary healing to the police court of W. W.
Btowell, where It was first begun, and
from which court a change of venue was
allowed, the motion being made on the
ground that there is no authority under
the statute for a change of venue In such
examinations from a police Judge. The
motion was overruled and the hearing of
witnesses was begun,
James Hill, father of Mrs. Llllie, who
signed the complaint against Mr. Derby,
was the first witness called. He was placed
on the s(and for the purpose of laying the
foundation for the proof of perjury by
Showing that the oath had been regularly
administered to Mr. Derby before he testi
fied to the statements which are now al
leged to be false. Mr. Hill was the only
witness called at this forenoon's session.
LIVELY CHASB FOR POLICE COl'RT
Brothers Purine Man Whom They
Charge with Crime.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec 8 (Special
Telegram.) A fierce race took place this
afternoon between William Prlbnow, a
young carpenter, and the Winters brothers,
between the Winters farm, seven miles
north of the city and tho city, Prlbnow In
his rig and the Winters brothers with a
double team and farm wagon. Tha latter
were armed with a shot gun and the for
mer with a revolver. The Messrs. Winters
charge Prlbnow with a most serious crime
against their domestic, Miss Mary Mohr,
daughter of a well-to-do German farmer.
Prlbnow stoutly maintains his Innocence
and drove hastily to the police court, run
ning in for protection.
He had been working at the Winters
place up to a week ago( returned there to
day to leave his tools there, was refused
and charges were made. The Winters
brothers warned him to leave the country
or stand a trial of tar and feathers, and
then the chase began. The Winters went
to the office of the county attorney, but
would not file a complaint and the county
attorney aetit them back to bring In the
young woman and her father, who are ex
pected to arrive tonight.
The horses of both teams were white with
foam and dashed into the city and up to
the police court with a speed but little
abated, creating intense excitement.
Grand Island Kapects Seminary.
FREMONT, Neb., Dee, 8. (Special.) A
theological seminary of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran church Is very likely to
be located In Fremont- At the meeting of
the western synod of that church, which
was held here In October last, the matter
of removing tha seminary to some other
point was discussed and the aubject re
ferred to a committee. They are favor
ably Impressed with this city and have two
sitea under consideration. One la to buy
tho Nye-Hawthorne school building and
locate the school in that part of the town,
and the other plan Is to place it on what
is known as Irving Park on Military av
enue. Tho Nye-Hawthorne school has
four large school rooms and only thirty pu
pils, and the School board would be only
too glad to dispose of It- It has not been
definitely decided to relocate the school
here, but the committee seem to all be In
favor of Fremont.
