' Vhat Sulphur Does
For tho Human Body ta Health and
. , Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
rnr of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers . gave, us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
It was the universal . spring . and fall
M"blood purifier," torlo and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
I cot without merit.
V The Idea was good, but the remedy was
' crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity
had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects
of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated
form, so that a single grain Is far more
effective than a tablespoonful of the crude
. sulphur. jD,
In rece years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers. They are small chocolate coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur In a highly con
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware rif (Tie value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and main
taining bodily vigor and health; sulphur
acts directly on the liver, and excretory
organs and purines and enriches the blood
by the prompt elimination of waste ma
terial. Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall but the crudity and impurity
of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often
worse than the disease, and cannot com
pare with the modern concentrated prep
arations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They aro tho natural r.ntldote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physicians alike.
Dr. R- M. Wllklns while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when result
Ing from constipation or malaria. I have
been surprised st the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients euf
ferlng from bolls and pimples and even
deep-seated Carbuncles. I have repeatedly
seen them dry up snd disappear In four
or five days, leaving the skin clear and

gists and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and kid

skin diseases as this remedy."
At any rata people. who are tired of pills,
cathartics and so-calltd blood "purlrlers"

of hanging Imposed on Frank Barker, the
Red Cloud murderer, be carried out. The
answering brief of the state In the appeal
of the mnn from the Judgment of the Web
ster rounty district court was filed In the
supreme court today. Barker, who had boon
sentenced to hang In September, was
granted a stay by the supreme court until a
final decision can be rendered in the case.
An argument In the efTort to save the life
of Barker was that the evidence did not
warrant a verdict of murder In the first de
gree, taking the view that there Is nothing
In the evidence to show malice, but only a
purpose to kill, which It 'Is claimed would
warrant a verdict of murder In the second
degree. Reference Is made to the section of
the code which provides that the court shall
render such Judgment In the case as the
evidence warrants.

NEBRASKA CETS BIG . SLICE
Three Public Enildingg and Two Site
Agreed on by Committee.
OTHER WESTERN STATES FARE WELL
Grand Island. York, Plattsmouth,
Columbus and Kearney All Re
ceive Favorable Consideration.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. (8peclal Tele
gramsThe house committee on public
buildings and grounds today ordered a
favorable report on the omnibus public
building bill, which has been In prepara
tion for several months. This action was
taken Independently of any act on the part
of Speaker Cannon, who has opposed the
measure ever since an omnibus public
building bill at this session was suggested.
The committee, however, believing that the
Interests of the country demanded public
buildings In keeping with the advance In
postal receipts and populations of the sev
eral states, decided to report the measure
and to take chances with the speaker and
the committee on rules to receive proper
consideration for the measure.
The members of the committee have
been placed under a personal pledge not
to divulge the features of the bill until
It Is reported, which In all probability will
be on Tuesday next. The bill will carry
less than $10,000,000 and affects all parts of
the United States. In proportion to postal
receipts and population, Nebraska will be
exceedingly well taken care of. Three cities
will be given appropriations for public
buildings and two sites are to be pur
chased. Ilnndred Thousand for Grand Island.
In the division of public buildings be
tween Grand Island, York and Platts
mouth there will unquestionably be con
siderable discussion. Citizens of Grand
Island and York ought to know of the
earnest work done by Judge Norrls as a
member of the committee, yet he has rec
ognized the needs of other cities In the
state and has labored to place Nebraska
among the states receiving the largest ap
propriation. This Is also true of Mr. Hln
shaw of the Fourth district, who has
worked like a Trojan to secure for York
as large an appropriation as will be given
to Orand Island. Mr. Burkett has Insisted
that Plattsmouth would have to be taken
care of both In the purchase of a site and
In the appropriation for the erection of a
public building. So active were these gen
tlemen that the committee at one time de
cided to give Nebraska next to nothing.
Judge Norrls, however, stood firm and from
the best Information obtainable the com
promise as agreed upon will be as follows:
Grand Island, $100,000; York, $50,000; Platts
mouth, $46,000, of which $6,000 is to be spent
In purchasing the site, and Columbus and
Hearney, $6,000 each for sites.
Big Vote for Sheridan.
For Wyoming the bill, It Is understood,
will carry an appropriation of $135,000 for
a site and building at Sheridan. When the
bill reaches the senate Senator Warren
wilt endeavor to Include an appropriation
of $100,000 for Rawlins.
For South Dakota the bill. In all prob
ability, will ' carry an appropriation for
public buildings and sites at Mitchell,
Huron and Watertown, with an appro
priation of $6,000 for the completion of the
Yankton rostofflce.
Iowa, like Nebraska and South Dakota,
has a member on the committee, and as
Judge Connor of the Tenth district Is a
pretty friendly Individual, It Is expected
the Hawkeye state will be well taken care
of. The treatment of Des Moines will be
reasonable, and Iowa, according to those
who ought to know, will have In propor
tion to populatipn as many appropriations
as any state In the union,
Burkett Among the Insurgents.
It developed today that Congressman
Burkett, in the caucus on the statehood
bill yesterday, made a very fiery speech
in behalf of the senate bill, and went on
record as one of the 33 republicans who
were willing to Join with the democrats
In that measure. Mr. Burkett's conten
tion was that the west could well afford
at this time to Insist upon making states
of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona,
to say nothing of Indian Territory. He
was In favor of western thought and west
ern influences and objected to the con
tinued domination of the west by the east.
Mr. Burkett even went so far as to serve
notice upon the speaker that he was will
ing to respond to the party whip on al
most every occasion, but that upon the
statehood proposition he believed In the
senate bill as against the house bill, which
makes two states out of four territories.
There was a lively clash between "Uncle
Joe" and his young lieutenant, who 1b soon
to leave the lower for the upper branch.
Mr. Burkett was followed In his proposi
tion by Mr McCarthy, while other repub
licans of the Nebraska delegation saw fit
to go with the majority of the house repub
licans In insisting that the house measure
should prevail. This morning Congressman
Burkett had a rather extended talk with
Speaker Cannon during the session of the
house and it Is presumed he explained his
position to the speaker at greater length
than he did yesterday In the heat of de
bate. It la somewhat of Interest to note
that both Bonynge and Hogg of Colorado
are classed among the Insurgents who are
In favor of the senate measure.

stead entry of Russell P. Loomls. passed
the house today. Congressman McCarthy,
In making the report, recited the facts,
which are well known In Nebraska, In re
lation to the settlement of Mr. Loomls on
the land In question. Loomls took up the
claim In 1872, and has since resided on the
homestead. In 1880 he made final proof and
the local land office accepted the same.
Afterwards, It was rejected by the general
land office on the gTound that the land had
been granted to the state of Nebraska as
school land. The state legislature passed
bills vesting the rights In Loomls, but on
constitutional grounds two governors vetoed
these two bills and It now devolves on the
general government to vest the title in this
land In Mr. Loomls, who has lived con
tinuously on the property for thirty-three
years.
Senator Klttredge gave notice in tne
s;nate today of four amendments which

appropriations bill comes before that body.
Three relate to further Improvements of
the Missouri river In South Dakota at the
following points: Elk Point and at Pierre,
$4,000, and at Springfield, $26,000. The fourth
calls for an appropriation of $52,600 for
building dams and construction of reser
voirs at Lake Kampeska and Lake Ploln
sett and on the Sioux River, In South Da
kota, to control the flow of said stream and
Impound flood waters to secure a per

State Superintendent I'rsres Passasce
of House Roll 170, Which Is In
tended to Change the
Present Conditions.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. ll.-tSpeclal Telegram.)
State Superintendent McBrlen, In his ad
vocacy of a new plan of distribution of the
state common school fund, makes the In
teresting disclosure that the University of
Nebraska, under the first levy from the
new revenue law, gains $100,320.92, while the
common schools lose Just $51,746.78. Under
the last levy of the old revenue law the
university's portion was $188,458.23 and under
the first levy of the new revenue law Its
portion Is $294,779.15. The school fund re
ceived $199,136.46' from the last levy of the
old law and $147,389.68 from the first levy of
the new law.
Superintendent McBrlen furthermore
points out that the last school census
showed 378,000 pupils who had to be bene
fited from the oommon school fund, as
against less than 3,000 at the university.
While stoutly maintaining his loyalty to the
university he Insists that this distribution
Is not fair and for the purpose of bringing
obout what, in his Judgment, will be a fair
distribution he Is working to secure the
passage of H. R. 170. Introduced under the
names of Jackson of Antelope, Marks of
Fillmore and Warner of Lancaster.
Hearing; on Wednesday.
This measure will have a hearing Wednes
day at 1 p. m. In the office of the state su
perintendent and Mr. McB: ici, who has
sent copies of the bill to every rounty su
perintendent and Is urging count and city
superintendents and members of boards of
education to attend. He Insists the main
provision of this bill Is the provision for the
free high school privileges. He Is willing to
make any reasonable compromise on the
basts of apportionment that does not sur
render the free high school provision. He
believes that an apportionment on the ag
gregate number of days attended by all
pupl'.s will promote attendance In every
school district In the state. He desires es
pecially to know what the people of the
state think of an apportionment to the pub.
lie school districts for attendance of pupils
at some school other than a publio school
meeting the requirements of the compulsory
attendance law.
"In a former discussion," says Mr. Mo
Brien, "I have called attention to the
three great provisions of H. R 170. I call
attention again to these three great pro
visions: First Every child. In the state may have
nine months' free scnool privileges. This
lives up to the declaration that Its pur
pose Is to afford the advantages of f-ee
education to all the youth of the state.
Second There are more than a dosen
counties in the state without a good high
school. H. R. 170 makes it possible for
each of these counties to have at least on
good high school
Third It will place free high school
privileges within the reach of every farmer
boy and every farmer girl in the state.
Every city, town, village and hamlet in the
state would have opportunity to share In
the benefits of such a measure. It would
bridge the gulf now existing between the
common school and the university. On a
conservative estimate there would be at
least 3,5iiO country boys and country girls
taking advantage of the free high school
privileges offered In this act. These boys
and girls would be under the Instruction of
over 500 trained teachers. It would place
at the disposal of the state $2,500,000 In
school buildings, grounds, apparatus, books,
libraries for the education of this great
army of young people In the higher duties
of American citizenship.
Bntler's Record Mast Stand.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11. Alderman Hubert W.
Butler, who by formal vote of the Chicago
city council was severely censured by
Mayor Carter H. Harrison for failure to
substantiate charges of corruption which
Butler had made against his fellow alder
men, was defeated In an attempt to have
the courts expunge from the council rec
ords reference to the censure. Judge
Thnmii O. Windes today gave a deolsioai
against Butler, denying a writ of milt
! dumus which Butler asked to compel the
J expunging of the records.
This your head to the left?
Then there's no use trying. It's too late ! Noth
ing in the world can make hair grow on a bald
scalp that has been smooth and shiny for years.
It's too late! No use trying nowl
Or is this yours to the right?
Good. Only look out for dandruffl It leads
straight to baldness. But there's use trying now,
for Ayer's Hair Vigor cures dandruff, keeps
the scalp clean and healthy, and checks falling hair.
