(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, . Neb., June 26. (Special Tele
gram.) The question of the legality of the
governor proclamation calling- a special
election to nil the Burkett vacancy has
been seriously considered by both republi
cans and democrats tonight.
Candidate Pollard ' spent the day In
Omaha and this evening he was In con
sultation with Judge Holmes and, others,
who advised him to request the governor
to withdraw the call. At the conclusion of
the conference, Mr. Pollard said he be
lieved the call was valid and that the
election would be held. He made no posi
tive statement, however.
Candidate Brown, W. J. Bryan and
Chairman Metcalfe composed the other
conference. Mr. Brown said at Us con
clusion, that while many of his advisors
bellved the call was not valid, he was
ready to go on with the election' or let
It go over until the general election, Just
as Pollard and Governor Mickey decided.
Mr. Bryan arrived In Lincoln late this
evening and left on a late train. lie came
In especially to advise with Candidate
Brown on the legality of the election proc
lamation.
Governor Mickey announced this evening
that he would refuse to recall his procla
mation for a special election In the First
Nebraska congressional district. The elec
tion will be held, he said, July 18.
Catting; Down Vacations.
Pursuant to the constitution of the United
Btates all men shall have the privilege to
enjoy the pursuit of happiness, conversa
tional vacations are all the go at the state
house with a probability that things will
develop of an Interesting nature before
the vacation season Is over. It has been
the custom during the past years to allow
about three weeks vacation during the year
with some of the heads of offices granting
a full month to employes. Where there
are ten people employed In an office It
means ten months out ot a year which the
tax payers have to pay for which they get
no returns.
This year there Is a probability that this
one month vacation will be out down. One
young woman who will attend the Portland
exposition at the expense of the state to
pick up ne'w Ideas about libraries has asked
for a month's vacation besides. Her Port
land trip will consume fourteen days. In
the opinion of one member of the board
this trip should be a sufficient vacation, es
pecially as her expenses are to be paid by
the state. Whether the other menibers of
the commission will have the same Idea,
' however, Is not yet known and the young
woman may get forty-two days out of this
year In which to recuperate ltom her not
over arduous duties.
Very few of the officers have yet decided
when they will give vacations to their em
ployes or for how long. Superintendent
McBrlen, who has iot taken a vacation
since he became a public servant, will
allow his helpers two weeks, with possibly
three for his stenographer. This because
Miss Adams works every day from I to S
o'clock without missing a day and Is kept
busy constantly. It has been the custom
for the Stenographer In the treasurer's of
fice to get the entire .month of August.
Auditor-Bearle la not here aad his employes
are so busy they are not figuring on much
of a vacation though some of them think
they need a month. Other offices will give
their employes from two to three weeks,
but there are very few who will get the full
thirty days lay off. It Is probable that the
state officers will talk the matter over
Shortly and fix It so that each of the em
ployes wilt 'get the same time off. With
some of the officers there is a disposition
to cut down the time of vacations.
Quick Action on Hawkins.
Henry Hawkins, one. of the many convicts
paroled to Colonel Mellck, who attempted
to chloroform Miss Mabel Johnson after
breaking into her room Sunday about day
light, was this afternoon sentenced to five
years In the state penitentiary. The con
viction and sentence was one of the quick'
est on record. Hawkins pleaded guilty.
Miss Johnson awakened to find Hawkins
standing beside her bed holding a handker
chief to her mouth. She screamed and the
negro ran from the room. Her screams at'
traded Officer Sullivan and a crowd of
men who were moving a house In the
neighborhood and they all gave chase. The
negro ran Into the rear entrance of
Mellck's livery barn, where he soon lost
himself among a lot ot employes. As
Hawkins had off his coat and hat, the
others In the barn came out In front also
hatless and coatless. Hawkins, however,
was picked out of the bunch and later
Identified by Miss Johnson. He confessed
last night, pleaded guilty today and was
sent up for -five years more.

HOLDUP MAN CALLS EARLY IN DAT
Robs Fremont Woman of Fifteen
Dollars In Cash.
FREMONT, Neb., June 26. (Special Tel
egram.) Mrs. W. P. Gannon was heldr up
and robbed by an unidentified man at her
residence, 219 C street, this morning. Mr.
Gannon Is a conductor on the Northwest
ern and waa called up to take his run out
at S o'clock this morning. His wife got
his breakfast for him and about ten min
utes after he left, while she was stoop
ing In front of the refrigerator In the
kitchen, the door was opened and a
stranger walked in. She jumped up and
ran into the next room, which was dark.
He followed her, turned on the lights and
grabbed her by the throat. She screamed
loudly for help and for a few minutes
fought vigorously and succeeded In giving
him some good scratches on the face, which
brought blood. He finally overpowered her
and demanded money, threatening to kill
her If she did not give It to him. Ex
hausted and scarcely able to bree thefor
one of his first movements was to hold his
hand over her mouth and nose she finally
yielded and gave him $15, all the money she
had in the house. The man then left the
house.
As soon as she dared she notified the
neighborhood and the officers were called
and began a hunt for the man, but have1
secured no trace of him. He was a young
man, about five feet ten Inches tall, dark
complexion and wore a dark moustache
and a full beard, which Mrs. Gannon says
were false, as they became loosened In
their struggle. The only person in th,
house with Mrs. Gannon when the affair
occurred was their baby, a child a few
years old.

Anthrax Near Pender.
PENDER, Neb., June 26. (Special.)
Anthrax has again developed on the farm
of F. M. Smith, having lost seven head of
cattle, mostly milch cows, and one horse
within the last two days. This dreaded
disease made Its appearance on this farm
four years ago and also on the farm of
Fred Glister, two miles north of the above
named farm. At that time the hogs were
allowed to devour the carcasses, from
which, they all died.
The main characteristic of this disease
is black, tarry blood that will not coagu
late and containing soil-like bodies (bac
teria). Shortly before death spores de
velop which are the active part of the
virus in Inoculation. Blood containing
these spores from the dead animal will
dry and become reduced to dust, retaining
the active germ, which will live for years.
Anthrax haa two distinct ways of mani
festing Itself, with external lesions and
without; the former belong to blackleg, to
the latter all those having specifics changes
of the blood, with engorgement of the
spleen, exudations and blood stained
spots In the Internal organs and sudden
death.
Low damp pastures, rich succulent food,
such as clover, sudden atmospheric
changes from cold to heat, are favorable
animations. Dr. Parrlsh, the local veter
dlsease here tour years ago, will immune
by Inoculation the herd and use every pre
caution to prevent the spread of this
dtseaaa.

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.
This is, unquestionably, the most successful medi
cine in use for bowel complaints, and it is now the
recognized standard over a large part of the civilized
world.
A few doses of it will invariably cure an ordin
ary attack of diarrhoea.
It has been used in nine epidemics of dysentery
with perfect success.
It can always be depended upon, even in the
more severe attacks of cramp colic and ' cholera
morbus.
It is equally successful for summer diarrhoea and
cholera 'infantum in children, and is the means of
saving the lives of many children each year.
When reduced with water and sweetened it is
pleasant to take, which is important when medicine
is to be given to small children.
Every man of a family should keep this remedy
in his home.- Buy it now. It may save life.

CASES
on the
The Omaha Water board, through Its at
torneys, John L. Webster and C. C. Wright
filed a motion in the I'nlted States circuit
court Monday afternoon asking that an or
der be issued for subpoenas directing par
ties having knowledge of certain facts to
be present before the court at the time of
the hearing of the Injunction brought by
the Omaha Water company against the
Water board of Omaha and to testify to
the same. The motion states that the
Water board has been unable to secure af
fidavits to the facts desired from these
witnesses In order that it may make a
showing to resist the application for the
Injunction.
It Is made to appear that the South
Omaha Stock Yards company. Armour
Packing company, Cudahy Packing com
pany, the Omaha Smelting company and
the Union Pacific Railway company refuse
to make the requested affidavits.
The Water board expects to be able to
prove by R. C. Howell, W. C. Kenyon,
Tatrlck Bheehey, W. T. Page and Ben Lan
caster, the amount of water consumed
dally by their respective plants and the
rate charged for the same. It Is desired
also to secure the testimony of E. M. Fair
field, general" manager of the Omaha Water
company, together with the books of the
water company.
Hunt, I'ndemood and Others.
It Is further necessary, as stated In the
motion, to cross examine A. B. Hunt, F.
E. Underwood, F. O. Kunz, H. L. Un
derwood, E. M. Fairfield and C. J. Collins
In relation to matters set forth In their
affidavits that subpoenas be Issued for
them as they are unwilling witnesses.
There was filed In addition to the motion
twelve different affidavits Including the
following parties:
Lyman E. Cooley, civil engineer of Chi
cago, III.: Benezem vtniinms, civu engi
neer, Chicago, III.: Mac Ritchie, civil engi
neer, Chicago, all members of the Board
of Appraisers called to appraise the value
of the Omaha water riant; C. C. Wright,
former city attorney: Andrew Rosewater,
city engineer (three affidavits); Arnold J.
Koenlg, secretary of the Water board (four
affidavits); R. S. Hall, attorney; George W.
Craig, assistant city engineer, and H. O.
Edwards, manager for Swift and Co.
A feature in the affidavit of Lyman E.
Cooley of Chicago, Is to the effect that he
was a .member of the board of appraisers
to fix an estimate upon the value of the
Omaha water plant. The schedules and
plans as submitted to the Board of Apprals
ers showed the going value of the plant to
be $3,000,000. The present value of the en
tire plant Is $71,588.96 In excess of the $3,000,
000. Certain deductions should leave the
value at $3,000,000. The plant could be re.
produced for less than $4,000,000, and ellml
natlng useless features of the plant, all es
sential parts could be reproduced for $3,500,
000. The operating expenses of the plant
Is $180,000. The estimated pumping capa
lty Is 18,000,000 gallons per day. On that
basis the working cost would be $58.30 per
000,000 gallons, or at the rate of 5 83-100
cents per thousand gallons. The summaries
of the findings of the Board of Appraisers
Is: Estimated value of the plant $3,889,-
KM. 08; depreciation, $818,104.08; depreciated
valuation, $3,071,589.95.
The affidavit of H. O. Edwards, manager
for Swift and Co., states that his company
pays for water at the rate of 4H cents per
000 gallons. The average amount of wa
ter consumed per day by the company Is
616,950 gallons.
The affidavit of C. C. Wright states that
some of the packers refuse to give the
affidavits requested as does the South
Omaha Stock yards. However, it is shown
by one of the affidavits that about 1,000,000
gallons of water was being used dally at
a cost of but 4c per thousand gallons.

MURDER

JIICIDE
Former Sonth Omaha Woman Kills
Herself After Poisoning- Child.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 26. (Special
Telegram Mrs. Volslla Kveseck, wife of
James Kveseck, a farmer of Cameron
township, this county, committed suicide
yesterday afternoon by taking carbolic
add and tried to administer a deadly por
tion of the same drug to her 8-year-old
son. Coroner Sutherland called yesterday
afternoon, but held no inquest. It being
plainly a case of suicide.
Dr. Redfleld of Wood River was sum
moned as soon as tha husband of the
woman discovered what had taken place
and the little boy, it is believed, will re
cover. The woman was beyond aid. It is
believed she took the poison first, that the
little boy, disliking to take medicine of any
kind, resisted, and that ttie mother's pains
became violent before she could force the
poison down the chtld's throat, the burning
being mostly on the exterior of the child.
Mrs. Kveseck had undergone an opera
tion about a year ago and haa not been
ln the best of health. Domestic unpleasant
ness, arising from their removal from
South Omaha to this county about a year
ago, is also said to have been probably a
contributory cause.
Mr. Kolovlolek, a relative of the woman
from South Omaha, arrived for a visit to
the woman and tha family, only to find
her dead.

snd all Diseases and Weaknesses of
MEN due to evil habits of youth,

neglecteB, unskilled or improper
treatment of specific or private diseases.
Are you ailing and prodding along, contaminated with some specific or .
private disease, or menaced by some secret weakness or drain upon your
strength and vitality T Perhaps you have been Intending to commence treat
ment fur some time, and have been deferring the matter from day to day, month
to month, or year to year, while your health has been gradually slipping away.
Many are also Influenced by "Free Treatment" and "wulck Cure" schemes,
while others are buying ready-made remedies at drug stores taking unknown
concoctions for unknown ills. It is no wonder that they become discouraged
and give up ln despair. If you need skilled medical attention, can you afford
to Jeopardize your future health and happiness ln this way, or will you yrollt by
the experience of others and secure proper treatment first? Many of our
patients were cured so quickly by our method that they often do not appreciate
What they have avoided.
If you are suffering from any disease or weakness you want a permanent
cure. You want all that science can do for you. Don't wait until your whole
system Is polluted with dlseas, or until your nervous system is tottering under
the strain. Don't drag along a wretched existence of doubt and uncertainty.
Come to out olllce and we will make'a searching and scientific examination of
your ailments; an examination that will disclose your true physical condition
without a knowledge of whiuh you are groping ln the dark, and without a thor
ough understanding of which no physician or specialists should be allowed to
treat you. We want all ailing men to feel that they can come to our office
freely for an explanation of their condition without being bound by any obli
gation whatever to take treatment unless they so desire.
