The Kansas City Journal recently
printed this dispatch from Washing
ton: If David II. Mercer, former rep
resentative from Nebraska, is named
director of the census, his appoint
ment must be charged to the District
of Columbia. The delay of the pres
ident in filling the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr. Morriain lias
caused much speculation as to
whether the president has found it
advisable to charge such an important
office to the district political accounts
in their present condition. Neither
of the Nebraska senators has asked
for Ills appointment, owing to the
fear entertained by them of Editor
li.osewat.er. In fact, the delegation
which called on President Roosevelt
to urge the selection of Mercer was
conspicuous for the absence of Sena
tors Millard and Dietrich. Repre
sentative llurlcett was (he only Ne
braskan in the party which visited
the white house and urged Mr. Mer
cer's appointment.

At Pleasant vi lie, an inland town
south of Dorchester, Frank Chcskal,
an old and respected citizen of that
place, committed suicide. The means
employed was a .'IS-caliher revolver,
and the tragedy occurred at his home
in the presence of lifs aged wife.
Temporary insanity and brooding
over sickness are assigned as the
cause. An examination of the private
lapers of Mr. Gheskal reveals the
fact that he had been preparing for
nnd contemplating this act for some
lime.

A delegation representing the Ne

legislature a plea for tne passage of
the measure introduced by Loomis, of
Dodge county, looking to the com
memoration of the expedition into
what is now Nebraska territory of
Capl. Meriwether Lewis and Cnpt.
William Clark. It Is proposed in ihe
bill that $5,000 be appropriated, with
which the board of public lands and
buildings shall purchase a site and
build a monument at or near Fort
Calhoun, in Washington county,
pointing out (lie place where Lewis
and Clark and their companions land

Wilier for Irrigation.
The high water has at least made
the irrigation department of the state
government jubilant. Under Secreta
ry Smith returned to Lincoln from
the. west and said that prospects of
irrigation next year were greatly en
hanced by the high water in Nebraska
streams. The water supply for irri
gation purposes will lie greatly in
excess of the average. The ice gorges
at Grand rsland and further up the
Platte had forced the water out of
(ho lowlands, transforming the bot
toms into a vast lake. Because of
this full supply of moisture he pre-
,dle(s a very successful year for the
irrigation regions.

Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find,
In ai'i the seasons of their lives, as maidens, wives, or moth
ers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts
gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be
used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions,
when the system needs a laxative, is Syrup of Figs. It
is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative
and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aro
matic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Many of the Ills from which women suffer are of a tran
sient nature and do not come from any organic trouble
and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to
the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything

A well-known judge, who is ns famous
for his wit as liu corpulency, was much,
disturbed in mind by In tendency to over
increasing stoutness. He tried many rem
edies. At length a friend suggested that
he should take a course of treatment at
certain hot springs. He immediately set
out for the place, sojourned for a few
weeks nt it, managed to get fid of a good
deal of Mipcrfious Hush, and returned
home in a most happy nnd joculnr frame
of mind, relates an exchange.
On the first morning after his return,
when lie was wending his way to tho
coiirthotue. he came to the butcher shop
where his family were supplied with. meat.
Marching inside, he said:
"Cut me off 20 pouivd" of.pork."
Tho butcher sharpened hi knife nnd at
once complied. The judge looked it the
mrat for a minute or two nnd then walked
off.
"Shall I send the pork to your house, my
lord?" inquired tho butcher, who felt that
the judge had overlooked instructions.
"Oh, no," was the reply, given with a
umile. "I don't want it. I have fallen off
just 20 pounds, nnd I only wanted to have
an idea of how much it was!"

ally "broke." When he returned- from
Jefferson City lie exhibited ?500 in pood
crisp greenbacks. Some of his friends
"jollied" him about h:s prosperity, relates
the Kansas City Journal.
"You didn't have a cent when you went
to the legislature, did you, Jones?" taid
one of them.
"Not n blamed cent," said Jones.
"As a matter of fact, 1 lent you half
your railroad fare, didn't 1?"
"I believe you did."
"Well, you were down in Jefferson City
about 40 days. You got five dollars- a day.
Now what we want to know is how you
managed to save $500 out of a total income
of $200."
"Come closer," whispered Jones, "and
I'll tell you how I did it. I had my wash

A Younpr Now York Lady Tolls
of a Wonderful Ciiro :
" My troublo was with the ovaries ;
I am tall, and tho doctor said I prow
too fast for my strength. I suffered
dreadfully from inflammation and
doctored continually, but got no help.
I suffered from terrible dragging sen
sations with tho mo3t awful pains low
down in the side and pains In tho back,
and the most agonizing headaches.
No one knows what I endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while I would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days ; I work
in a large store, and I suppose stand
ing on my feet all day made me worse.
"At the suggestion of a friend of
my mother's I began to take- Lydia
.E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it is simply wonderful.
I felt better after the first two or three
doses ; it seemed as though a weight
was taken off my shoulders ; I con
tinued it3 use until now I can truth
fully say I am entirely cured. Young
girls who are always paying doctor's
bills without getting any help as I did,
ought to take your medicine. It
costs so much less, and it is sure to
cure them. Yours truly, Adelaide
