Efforts of. the stats and county re
publican central committees to purge
registration In Douglas county hna born
fruit, tha corresponding committee of
tha democratic party having conducted
an investigation tending to prova that
numerout fraudulent registrations were
made on September S- Recently John L.
Kennedy, chairman of the republican
atate committee, and Benjamin 6. Caker,
chairman of the Douglas county organ
isation, directed a communication to J.
C Byrnes, demon tic state chairman,
and. Voula J. Pistti of the county com
mittee. Inviting them to join In an In
vestigation Into tha methods employed In
securing qualifications tor votea.
Since the invitation was extended the
democratic chairmen have ' conducted an
Investigation, the results of which have
Just been communicated to Measia.
Kennedy and Baker through a letter
signed by Mr. Piatti. He says: "In
respect to rumors of Illegal registration
In past years I am not In a position to
verify or disprove them, but i do not
believe that the question of what has
been done In the past has any relevanoy
whatever to what I claim has been and
is being done this year.
"4a. soon as I received from the city
clerk, a list of the first day's registra
tion .the democratic committee Immedi
ately ' inaugurated an Investigation, and
that Investigation was not directed to
ward voters registered as republicans,
but. against every man Illegally regis
tered, whether be was labeled democrat,
republican, socialist or ouierwise.
Declares Freed Exists.
"My opinion that fraud exists is not
confined to rumors or charges, but is
backed by evidence pt the most ' con
vincing character. . The evidence In my
possession Is such that It could not fall
to satisfy -any' committee of reputable
citfsens that a. '.conspiracy ealstt to- pre
vent a fair , and .honest election upon
November 7 and that a large number of
Illegal voters have already1 been regis
tered for the purpose of carrying out
the plans ef the conspirators.
"In" order to give you some Idea of the
investigation made by the committee up
to the present time, I will cite a few of
the large number of cases that have
been galled to our attention;
"From SOI North Sixteenth street twenty-One

that be came to his death from gunshot
wounds received by him when he was
held up and shot last Sunday night. Mra

Following the decision of tho county
commissioners to have rhe Omaha merger
petition recanvaseed for the names of
illegal signatures, t waa given out yester
day evening that H. C. Murphy for the
antl-annexattonlsta and A. H. Murdock
for the consolldatlonlsts would supervl
the recanvaas for their respective partlea.
The antla tonight make no effort to
hide their Jubilation over the failure of
the mergerlsts to get thO petition before
the county commissioners In such shape
that an election would result The sen'
eral feeling now Is that the antls have
beat the measure and the annexationists
both. The sntls regard the promoters
of the annexation movement as dis
gruntled politicians and bad losers
while the annexationists feel that the
antls are strictly administration bene
ficiaries and office holders. On both
sides there are men who have not taken
any part In ths political movements of
the city and these are Inclined to look at
the postponement as a compromise at
best. They assert that it would be better
to have the measure come to a vote
and be definitely settled by all the people.
On the whole, however, the general feel
ing both among the business men and
private citisens will be one of relief
when the Question ceases to agitate the
public one way or the other.
The canvassed list of the county clerk
will be returned to the county commis
sioners next Thursday morning.
William Williams Dismissed.
William Williams, charged with tha
murder of Bob Bently, another negro, on
September 80, at Twenty-seventh and N
street, was yesterday dismissed by Polios
Judge Callanan on the grounds of self
defense. J. D. Breen appeared for the
prisoner and Assistant County Attorney
J. M. Fitzgerald for the state.
The testimony showed that the two men
had had trouble tho night before the
shooting. Of the two men. Williams was
regarded In a more favorable light. Wit
nesses deposed that Bently had drawn his
gun first and thus provoked the fire of
Williams. Several, however, swore that
Williams had flashed his weapon on
Bently before the latter could draw his
gun.
Assistant County Attorney J. M. Flts
gerald forced an admission from the
prisoner and witnesses that Williams had
been carrying a gun, Mr. Fitzgerald In
summing' up, showed that there was tes
timony that threw a strong doubt on the
prisoner's plea of self defense. He asked
that Williams be bound over to the dis
trict court for trial on the charge of man
slaughter. , 3. D. Breen for the prisoner, Insisted
on the good reputation of the prisoner
and the testimony that bolstered up his
plea of self defense.
It Is probable that ad effort will be
made to bring a new oharge of carrying
concealed weapons against ' Williams.
Judge Callanan in speaking of the new
charge expressed It as his opinion that
there could be gotten no one to file a
complaint under the new charge.
Alas oat Jail Wedllag.
For a while yesterday afternoon It
looked as If the police station would be
the scene of a double wedding, Friday
the thirteenth, to the contrary notwith
standing. Now that the danger la passed
the police are wondering If the day was
a hoodo or otherwise to the parties con
cerned. The Impatient swains were Earl T.
Leonard, Margurlte Watson, Henry
Grim and Maddlll Watson. All four had
been arrested on a charge of vagrancy.
Matters were getting rather complicated
and the desk sergeant, who admits that
he has a healthy prejudice against people
getting married In jail, went to confer
with Police Judge Callanan. The Judge,
while expressing his willingness to offi
ciate, decided to Investigate the charge
agalnat tho four. After a lecture he dis
missed them with the understanding that
they should seek a more auspicious
time and place for their nuptlala.

Frank Ols&n, a prosperous farmer from
Ames, la., arrived this morning in South
Omaha to make arrangements for the
funeral of William Olsan, who was shot
and killed by his brother, John, last
Thursday near Papllllon. Although the
prisoner had been in a state bordering on
nervous prostration ever slno the killing
of his brother, Frank Olsan refused to
see him until after he had made arrange
ments for the funeral. The prisoner, who
has been in a very serious condition as a
result of mental anxiety and worry, was
reported as Improved this morning. Dr.
A. H. Keonlg was called three times last

tie that his condition of mind will pre
vent his being brought to trial for the
murder of his brother.

Grain Elevator Cases
Before Supreme Court
WASHINGTON. Oct. U Forewarned
that the Interstate Commerce commission
had found the problem so difficult that
it had changed its position thsreoa three
or four times, the supreme court of ths
United States today undertook ths task
of deciding the "grain elevator cases."
It listened tor sn hour to P. J. Farrell,
solicitor tor the Interstate Commerce
commission, whlls he explained the con
troversy from the government's point of
view. Monday the court will listen to
the other side of the question.
The oases challenge the power ef the
Interatate Commerce commission to pro
hibit railroads from paying to operators
of elevators compensation for "elevating
grain In transit."
The outcome of the controversy Is said
to concern the bulk of grain transported
through ths Mississippi basin.
Mr. Farrell explained to the eourt that

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED.
A Ccld Settled In Kidneys,
iausins serious Trouble.
Pe-ru-na Restores Health.
AATARRH of the kidneys Is a very
w much neglected dlssase.
It Is not until the disease has a firm
hold upon the kidneys that the patient
begins to realise that there is some de
rangement of these organs.
The slight backsches, the feelings of
lassitude, and other warning symptoms
of kidney disease are overlooked
They are not serious enough to detain
ths patient rem his regular work.
Even when he discovers that the kid
neya are affected, hs does not recognise
the difficulty as being caused by catarrh.
Catarrh Is somstlmes so very gradual
In Its spproach and Its earlier symptoms
cause such slight discomfort that It is
not noticed.
However, when it Is once firmly seat
ed In the kidneys it becomes a difficult
disease to exterminate.
Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys Is more
serious than catarrh affecting some of
the other organa of tha body,
In the kidneys It Is liable to terminate
in Brlght's Disease or diabetes, both of
which are recognised as very serious
ailments, if not fatal.
The thing to be done, when a cold or
catarrh of the kidneys Is discovered. Is
to take some internal, systemlo catarrh
remedy, one that relieves the catarhal
disturbances snd thus removes the cause
of the dlffloulty.
Bucn a remedy has been found In
Peruna. l"t relieves catarrh, no matter
Iwnsre it may be
located In the
IUDNEV DISEASE I dy whether in
.the more exposed
membranes of the noss and throat or
whether In ths remotest part of the
kidneys.
That Peruna U at one ths safest and
most reliable remedy for catarrh of the
kidneys is proven by ths many teetl
monlals written by thoee who have ex
perienced its benefits.
