At noon Wednesday C. W.
Mosher, the wrecker of the Capitol
National Bank at Lincoln, was re
leased from the penitentiary at
Sioux Falls. The actual time
Mosher passed in jail was three
years and fojr months. It is
claimed that Mosher has two mil
lion dollars in government bonds
hid away, but this undoubtedly is a
fake story. Mosher it is stated has
decided on nothing as to his future
course.
The attack of the Era upon the
republican city nominees can do
them no harm. The men against
whom it attempts to hurl the most
mud have resided in North Platte
for more than a score of years and
the people are certainly able to
judge whether they are deserving
of the abuse given them by the
Washington mud-slinger. There
ia no question but the voters, irre
spective of politics, will rebuke the
methods employed by the Era by
snowing under the entire reform
ticket.
FACTS CONCERNIG SUGAB.
In 1SS0 two-thirds of the world's
sugar supply was the product of
cane; in 1895 two-thirds was the
, . c . . , A M
product of beet roots. The crea-
tion of the beet-sugar industry has
been by tariffs and bounties. Ger-
many is the greatest producer of
beet sucrar, and has increased her
bounties on sugar made lor export
from time to time. Today bounties
are paid at the rate of 29,32- and
38 3-10 cents per 100 pounds on all
sugars made in Germany for ex
portation. The United States re
ceives the greater part of these ex
ports. The German system of sugar
duties is peculiar, and in part ini
quitous. First, there is a heavy
duty on imports of sugar; this is to
hold her home market free from
foreign competition. Second, there
is a consumption tax of nearly 2)4
"cents on every pound of sugar used
in the empire;, this is iniquitous.
Third, there is a bouuty paid upon
every pound of sugar exported.
This renders it needful for the
United States to levy an additional
tariff on German sugar, or to pay a
bounty on American-made sugar,
in order to encourage a home in
dustry. In the present depleted
condition of the treasury, bounties
are out of the question, and there
fore discriminating duties must be
levied.
The increase of American manu
facture of beet sugar is eucourag-
ing, and, indeed, remarkable. The'

NEW TARIFF BILL.
CHAIRMAN DINGLEY GIVES A REVIEW
OF THE MEASURE.
To Hal Additional Revenue and to En-
the Industries of the United
"r Cf
States Makes an Estimate of $112,000,
000 Increase Ih Revenue.
Washington, March 16. Chairman
Dmelev of the ways and means com
mittee, in response to a request that he
JLUlLlfCUl AAA. 1U3WUUW fcv mi v.wm- -
furniBh a synopsis of the new tariff bill
presented by him, makes the following
statement:
The bill has two purposes, namely,
to raise additional revenue and to en
courage the industries of tho United
States. On the basis of the importations
fnr the last fiscal year, the bill would
. 1 t. , , O AAA f((
increase tne revenue auout ?u,uwiwui
divided Ttmoncr tho several schedules as
-
follows:
A chemical8f 3,500,000; B, crockery

iS4.0Oft.O00! D. wood. 81.750.000: E, sugar,

agricultural, $G,3000,000; H, liquors,
Sl.800.000: 1, cottons, $1,700,000; J. jute,
linen and linen hemp, $7,800,000; K,
vcnnL Sl7.500.000: ditto, manufacturers
of wools, $27,000,000; L, silks, $1,500,-
000; M, pulp and paper, $58,000; N, sun
dries, $6,200,000.
Bow the Increase Xs Secured.
"This increase of revenue is secured
by the transferring of wool, lumber,
crude onium. naiutings, statuary, straw
ornaments, straw mattings, burlaps and
varinns other articles from the free list
of tho oresent law to the dutiable list;
by increasing the duty ou woolens to
wmiTiPnsatfl the manufacturer for the
duty placed on wool; by raising the
duty on sugar about of a cent per
ooundin order to encourage the pro-
dnr.Mon of finsrar in this country, which
it is believed can be done, and thus give
nnr fnrmprs a nfiW CrOD. which We nOW
imriort mainly from abroad; by increas
ing the duty on agricultural products
affected bv Canadian competition and
on finfi cotton eoods. some advanced
manufactures of iron and steel, manu
factures of jute, flax and hemp, in order
to encourage these and other luonsrnes
here, and especially by increasing duties
on such luxuries, as liquors, tobacco,
silks, laces, etc.
"As a rule the rates of duties pro
posed are between the rates of the tariff
of 1890 and tho tariff of 1894. The iron
and steel schedule is changed very little
from the schedule in the tariff of 1894,
tho change being entirely in the more
advanced articles. Tho same is true of
the cotton schedule. In the agricultural,
wool, glass and earthenware schedules
alone are the duties of the act of 1890
fullv restored as a rule, and in a few
cases increased, with tho view of amply
protecting and encouraging our farming
interests by every possible point. While
the duty on clothing wool is larger in
to the foreibgn value than 0n
manufactured articles, yet it is thought
desirable for the public interest and for
our agriculture that we should produce
this necessity for ourselves.
"The duty on carpet wools, as well as
upon many other articles, is imposed
mainly for revenue. The irritation
caused by a few wools heretofore classed
as carpet wools being used for clothing
purposes, has been remedied by trans
ferring such wools to the clothing wool
classes, but the duty on clothing wool
has been restored to the rato of the act
of 1890.
"In framing this new tariff the aim
has been to make tho duties specific, or
at least partly specifiers far as possible.
PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Rcuiiuds the Lawmakers That Revenues
Fail to Pay Expenses.
Washington, March 15. The presi
dent's messago was sent to congress late
this afternoon, contrary to expectations.
It was devoted to the necessity of secur
ing more revenue for the conduct of the
business of the government. He called
attention to the issuance of $262,000,000
bonds in the last administration as a
reason for more revenue. He said that
for tho past threo years there has been
a deficit of $137,811,000.
For the month of January last, the
deficit was $5,952,000, and for Febru
ary, ,000.
"Not only," be said, "are we without
a surplus in the trensuijr, but we have
increased the national .dobt with de
creasing receipts,
easing receipts."
Coatuing; ho .said ample revenue
. . li .-!
was necessary to strengthen confidence
and meet current pbliga&ons.

a Scene.
Carsox, March 17. Under a clear
sky and in a valley 5,000 feet above the
sea, circled by snowcapped mountains,
which glistened in tho bright sunlight,
making a picture such as was never
seen before on an occasion of the kind,
James J. Corbett went down to defeat
before Robert Fitzsimmons, who became
thechampiou heavyweight pugilist of
the world. Tho victory was not gained
without a struggle, in fact, victory did
not seem possible for Fitzsimmons until
the last moment of the battle, who .was
giving every indication of slowly going
to pieces, delivered a blow in a vital

part and followed it with two others
which sent the Califomian to the floor
with tho agouy of pain and despair
imprinted on his face and unable to riso
within the limit which would save him.
When the defeated champion finally
arose with the assistance of his attend
ants and- recovered sufficiently from his
dazed condition to realize the calamity
that had befallen him, he broke out
with all the fury of an enraged animal
and, discarding all the rules which
govern tho art of which he is a disciplo,
rushed at his victorious opponent and
made a vain struggle to beat him over
the ropes, only desisting when his own
seconds and friends forced him away.
And then the new champion was
borne to his dressing room amid tho
cheers of the 5,000 people who were in
the arena, accompanied by his seconds
and trainers and also by his wife, who
had watched the contest from a position
within a few feet of tho ringside and
who had taken in every detail, even at
the time when it seemed that her hus
band would bo knocked insensible at her
feet. It was a great contest, but not
withstanding the cheers for the victor,
the majority of those who witnessed it
could not but feel a sense of disappoint
ment at the result, believing, as they
did, that victory was taken from Corbett
at a moment when ho seemed sure of
gaining it himself.
Fitz Severely Punished.
It was a moment after the noon hour
when the principals and their seconds
appeared and both were greeted with
great cheering. George Siler, the ref
eree, arranged tho few preliminary mat
ters in a short time and about 12:10 the
battle commenced. Little was accom
plished by either of the men in tho first
round, but in the next few rounds Cor
bett had every advantage. In the fifth
round ho punished Fitzsimmons se
verely, battering him on the body and
the face until the blood streamed from
his face and ho finally sauk to his knees
to avoid further punishment, remaining
thero until nearly all the allotted time
had expired, when he arose and suc
ceeded in continuing the contest for the
few remaining seconds of tho round.
Nearly all the spectators thought the
.end was at hand then, but the Aus
tralian rallied and fought a game battle
for nearly eight rounds more, though
there were several occasions during that
time when Corbett seemed to have him
going. Ho did land a number of blows
on Corbett and they were hard, too, but
they seemed to have little effect.
At the opening of the Mth and last
round Corbett "looked tho winnerf"
Though somewhat tired he was still
strong and was displaying more science
and continued to pound the Australian
and keep up the flow of the stream of
blood. And then camo tho final blow
and the end. Tho blow which ended
the fight was a left hauded punch de
livered just below tho heart. It was all
tho more effective for the reason that
Corbett was leaning backward when it
came. It caught him 011 the tightly
drawn muscles just over the spleen and
must have cansed the most intense
agony. Corbett was more unconscious
from pain than from tho force of tho
blow. As he lay writhing and grovel
ing on tho floor his face presented the
most ghastly appearance imaginable.
No man in a last death struggle could
have horrified the spectators more and
his agonizing cries of pain could be
heard "above the cheers for the victor.

There is a fascina
tion about a vigorous,
healthy woman, which
touches every heart.
Physical weakness is
a great drawback to a
woman's social suc
cess. As she loses
healthy plumpness
she loses attractive
ness. A woman had
even better be too
stout than too thin; but either extreme
shows a lack of healthy condition.
If you are not physically up to the mark,
appetite uncertain, "digestion poor.and a
general sense of weakness and incapacity,
you will find the robust health and energy
you need in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It renews the blood with the
vital life-giving red corpuscles which drive
out all morbid elements, and create new
tissue, hard muscular flesh and active nerve
force. ...
It gives color to the cheeks and firmness
to the form, without adding one ounce of
flabby fat above the normal standard of
health. Taken alternately with Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription for distinctively femi
nine troubles, it constitutes a scientific and
marvelously successful course of treatment
for delicate women.
Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby. Perry Co., Ind.,
writes: "In the year of 1S9.; I was taken with
stomach trouble nervous dyspepsia. There was
a coldness in my stomach, and a weight which
seemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave
me great paia ; I had a bearing- down sensation ;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge
around my right side, and in a short time I was
bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy
sicians but got no relief. Then Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to
me and I got it, and commenced the use of it. I
began to see a change for the better. I was so
weak I could not walk across the room without
assistance. I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and his 'Favorite Prescription and
one bottle of the Pleasant Pellets. I began to
improve very fast after the use of a few bottles.
The physicians who attended me said I had
dropsy and that my disease was leading into
pulmonary consumption. I had quite a cough,
and the home physicians gave me up to die: I
thank God that my care is permanent. I do not
dead.' of any I have ever known about. They
are worth their weight in gold.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate the
liver, stomach and bowels.
