LINCOLN, Neb, Dee. H-(peclal )
For the first time In the history or Ne
braska a Klnkald homesteader will be
caled ot fill one of the state offices
when the change takes place on the 7th
of next month. While this In a new
thing In the history of Nebraska, around i jng hlS'flrift'ft plcilHUre ill -
different sources as to how a homesteader i 01 fl ta.SK
can live upon hla claim according to law
and at the same time redds In Lincoln
as la expressly set out In the constitu
tion which reads:
'The governor,, secretary of state, audi
tor of public accounts and treasurer shall
reside at the seat of government during
their term of office, eto."
The controversy Involves the holding of
office of Charles W. Pool, who has been
elected secretary of state and Who haa
a cllam recently drawn by him In the
government sale of land In western Ne
braaka. Some peoplo have gone so far
as to say that Mr. Pool must either glva
up h'.s office or his homestead, but their
attention Is called to a ruling by the
land department made severeal years
ago and which haa not been set aside,
which piovlded that where a holder ot
a homestead Is eloeted to a publlo of
fice within the name territory of which
his homestead Is a part he aball not be
required to live uron hla homestead, but
may fill the office and ' reside In the
place where the location ot th office la
made by law.
However, Mr. Pool's family haa been
living on the homestead during the time
which has passed since he obtained It
and Improvements have been mads,
while he has sold his property at Tecum-'
eh and has made his legal residence since
that time on his homestead.
It has been the custom of-state offi
cers In the past whom the constitution
requires to live In Lincoln still to hold
their legal residence In the home town
from which they were elected for voting
purposes and that Is being done In Borne
Instances at the present time.
It Is not probable that the land de
partment will change a ruling which ha
been In vogue for many years, especially
when It Involves the loss of a Job to a
tried and true democrat. '
Memes Hla Offle Pore.
Charles W. Pool, who will on January
7 be sworn In as secretary of state, has
made his appointments or the office
force, though ho haa made up his mind
not to assign them until ha discovers the
qualifications of each. In addition to
Hugh L. Cooper ,a former newspaper
man of Johnson county, whom' he' ap
pointed some time ago as bis deputy;
the following are given out as the offic
ial family In the office: ..,'
Kenneth A. McRae halls from Hall
county and has been filling the position
of deputy recorder of deeds for that
county. He is secretary of tho Toung
Men'a Democrat club of Grand Island. ,
Max Katleman of Omaha Is conneoted
with the health department of that city.
B. R. Bays la from Saunders county and
haa been cashier of a bank at a small
town In tht county. - - . . - ..
Miss Cecil Snapp, who will probably be
tho stenographer In the ofTlce,' has filled
the position of chief clerk, and steno
grapher In the office of Colonel Phil Ack-
crman, hotel commissioner.
The office of labor commissioner, which
Mr. Pool holds, is in the earns depart
ment and It was her general efficiency
and ability, which attracted the attention
of Mr. Pool and he persuaded Mr.' Ack
erman that Miss Snairp was entitled to
promotion. . , ,
Miss Etta Saffer lives In Tork county,
but for several years was employed at
the Commonor oflce In Lincoln. Recently
she haa been employed In the office of

"X was im a most distressing' eoadltloa
and Ufa looked dark, Indeed. 1 could not

I gradually lost flesh and was thin and
emaciated.'. '
"I was glad indeed to find that the first
bottle of Peruna waa doing me good, and
so kept oa using it, with a gradual In
crease of appetite' and -strength. '
"Three months after I flrat began using
U X, Was a well snaa, and all ta

men, whose facts accompany this article.
Just drop them c a Una, enclosing a

tha words that., wa . have . quoted
from them. Banarkasla statements they

In tha United States mere or leas effected
with catarrh! who ought to read these
words and act "upon them.
Mr. Edward M. Burtt, BIT Laclede Are.,
St. Louis, Mo., writ: "1 hava used your
medlclh for several years, and It has
given entire satisfaction, nut only In my
own family, but also that of others of
my friends, and would cheerfully recom
mend the use of Peruna. as I certainly do
adors your juedlcln.
Mr. J. B. Reese, Habnab, Maryland,
writes: "Two years ago I became a suf
ferer with catarrh, which continued to
grow worse and made me miserable. I
could scarcely smell at all, and my taste
bad almost left me. My head ached con
stantly, and at times hail high fever and
bleeding at the nose. I waa a perfect
wreck.
I tried several doctors, bat derived bo
relief. I read In one of your little book
lets, called 'Ills of Life,' of Peruns being
a remedy for catarrh, and procured a
bottle at once. After the use ot one bottle
I felt some better, so I tried the second
and the third, and now I am a well man.
' "My health la muck Better taaa it haa

Catarrh of the head is the same disease
aa catarrh of the stomach. So far as the
nature of the ailment is concerned. It
matters little whether the catarrh Is lo
cated fn the throat or bronchial tubes,
the treatment I the same. k
The wonderful suooess of rerana in
curing these cases consists mainly of the
fact that it is a natural Invlgorant that
enables the sysUsm to overcome the
catarrhal condition, which In many cases
la so chronic that it haa become a habit.
Peruna speaks for Itself. Just give It a
chance. Try a bottie of It Toa will then
know for yourself.
There are people who object to taking
