In the Hands of His Friends.
Washington dispatch: Ex-Senator
■ Manderson of Nebraska, in an inter
view, admitted that he was in the
hands of his friends as a candidate for
the presidential nomination before the
republican convention at 8k Louis.
For months Mr. Manderson has been
the recipient of letters from all parts
of the country urging him to enter the
contest The insistence, he said, seem
ed to become more persistent with his
expressions of disinclination and before
leaving Nebraska he stated that he
Would make no further opposition, but
would remain passive
General Manderson said tonight that
the various marks of confidence and
manifestations of endorsement which
would be apparent by the presenta
tion of his name at Sk Louis are most
grateful and acceptable. He has been
greatly influenced by the kindly ex
pressions of the eastern press, particu
larly Pennsylvania, where he was
born, and Onto, where his early man
hood was spenk Under the circum
stances he can only stand and wait.
The Mew Irrigation Law.
As the time approaches when the
new district irrigation law becomes ef
fective by the organization of districts
and the voting on this proposition a
number of questions of general inter
est to people contemplating such ac
tion are being submitted to the state
officers. One of these is in relation to
who are eligible voters. 6ne such in
quirer wants to know if one living on a
homestead which he has filed upon,but
on which he has not made final proof,
is a voter. The language of the act
itself on the subject of the eligibility of
voters says: “No person 6hall be en
titled to vote at uny election held un
der the provisions of this act unless lie
shall be a qualified elector and the
owner of real estate in such district"
There seems to have been the ques
tion raised of whether the land can be
taxed before the government has part
ed with the title nnd the tax levied
made a lien on the land. If the holder
of this kind of an incorapleted right of
ownership cannot be held for his part 1
of the expenses the farm owners who
have deeat to their lands, say it would
be an injustice to others to let them
participate in the voting and govern
ment of the district'
Three Irrigation Decisions.
Lincoln dispatch: The State board
of Irrigation filed three opinions today.
It found in favor of Andrew Carson,
who appealed as contestant against the
McCook Irrigating and Water company
of Ked Willow county. The latter
company, comprising a large number
of people, intervened in the case be
fore the board and claimed under
riparian commonlaw procedure, bulthe
board decided against it and dismissed
the intervention as immaterial to the
case. The claim of It. P. James of
these county was dismissed. He had
sought to make appropriation of water
from Frenchman river for mill pur
poses, but the board found his applica
tion deficient in detail. The claim of
the Republican River Irrigation com
Kns against J. R. Phelan, K. F.
land, A. P. Hen no and R. Williams
was also dismissed on the ground that
the contestant had not complied with
the law of 1889. This was a case from
Dundy countv and involved rights to
water from the Republican river.
Mow to (lot Sugar IMorlM.
At the beet-raising and sugar-making
has proven a success throughout the
state of Nebraska, writes a correspond
ent to the State Journal, and most
everybody seems to feel that a lasting
success will be made of It, especially
since that new process came in by
which they claim the cost of making
sugar is greatly reduced, and if the
plan is carried out to build factories in
different parts of the state, allow me
to propose a plan by which all those
are made safe who might interest
themselves In this Industry, and tills is
as follows: Suppose it takes 923,000 to
erect such a factory as they say, it will
cover the cost ready to make sugar.
Now then, it it take that amount, or
whatever it may take, let twenty
five men each investing 81,000, or
whatever sum it may take, so that no
man shall have a greater share than
the other, which will bring every stock
holder on an even footing with the
other, and no one has more power than
the other, or in other words, freeze the
smaller stockholders out, which is gen
erally the case where one or more have'
the controlling power. It will also be
seen by this that in this way. such es
tablishments can- be run and ought to
be run independently from any monop
oly or trust As there is no danger of
over-stocking the market with this pro
duct, any man who has any money to
spare is willing to invest in a safe busi
ness running under such management
where everyone is equal with the other.
I would like to have some opinion qd
this subject from others
Nebraska Men PleaseS.
Washington dispatch: The Nebraska
men feel very well satisfied with the
bill.in relation to suits to vacate pat
ents upon public lands as it passed the
house today. Under the provisions of
the bill the bona fide purchasers of
lands from railroads are fully protected,
and the Uc; amendment, which was
adopted, operates to prevent any
trouble growing out of the exchange
by the Burlington of lands in the
.South Platte region, which it was fear
ed might eauae disturbance. Under
this amendment all questions of title to
railroad lands in Nebraska are effectu
ally qnleted. . . |

V? , jV:. .
Fostohia, O., Feb. 24.— Ex-Congress
mab Michael Li. Harter, committed
suicide at the home of >S. Knapp, ib
this city this morning-. When found
life was extinct and he had been dead
several hours. The fatal shot was
fired from a revolver, the bullet en
tering the right temple, penetrating
the brain. He was lying on the bed
with the revolver clutched in his left
hand. No cause is known for the act,
further than he has been suffering
with insomnia for some time past.
On the bureau in his room was a
letter addressed to his wife in Phila
delphia, and just outside the room
was found a package of letters ad
dressed to business associates. None
of these have been opened as yet
Mr. Harter is largely interested in a
number of industries and represented

Michael D. Harter was born in Can
ton, Ohio, in 1»46. He belonged to a
wealthy and influential family. His
father was a banker a nd was a man of
very large means. Mr. Harter was
reared a llepnblieun but departed
from the political faith of his father
on the issue of protect ion. His
mother, who died only a few years
ago, was a woman of much intel
lectual force and sympathised wit,h
her distinguished son on the tariff
issue. Although Mr. Harter was
an extensive manufacturer, he was an
ardent free trader. He was also,
a sound money man and was a con
sistent opponent of the silver fallacy.
He and ex-Oovernor McKinley wero
closely associated as young men and
were warm friends. Mr. Harter was
an earnest and active member of the
Lutheran church—the faith of his
parents. He lived in Mansfield, Ohio,
and was an intimate companion of
Senator Sherman. To all outward
seeming no man in the community in
which he dwelt had more to live for
or could look forward to a brighter
future, ■_
WASHINGTON’S FAREWELL.
Senator Frye Bead It in the Senate
.r; . with Fine KtTect. . V,.
Washington, Feb. 34.—The Senate
met to-day to listen to the reading of
Washington's farewell address by
Senator Frye, the president pro tom
of the Senate. This was in accordance
with a resolution previously intro
duced by Senator Hoar. The vice
president occupied the seat of the pre
siding officer uud Mr. Frye took his
position behind the secretary’s desk,
thus facing the entire Senate. He
read from an old print volume in large
type and without special effort filled
the large chamber with his resonant
voice so that the patriotic and well
rounded sentences were heard by all
present.
The reading of the journal and of
the address were preceded by a prayer
by Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, who asked God to “bless
Grover Cleveland, the President of the
United States,” and referring to Wash
ington with special thanks, “for him
whose name is in all hearts to-day; for
the inheritance of liis memory and for
the inspiration of his life and ex
amde.”
On motion of Mr. Perkins of Cali*
fornia, the prayer was ordered printed
in the Record.
There was a liberal attendance of
senators and the only vacant seats in
the galleries were in the diplomatic
and senate sections. The former was
entirely vacant, hut almost all the
seals in the gallery for the families of
senators were taken. The vice presi
dent's was entirely filled and thepres
ident's was also occupied. Many pre
sented themselves for adinissi >n to
the popular galleries long before the
opening of the doors. Close attention
was given to the reading by senators
and others, rendering the ceremony
thoroughly impressive and none the
less so on account of the simplicity
and the absence of ostentation by
which it was marked.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the address. Mr. Cray of Delaware
moved thut the thanks of the Senate
be tendered to 'Mr. Frye for the ad
mirable manner in wbiuh be had read
the address. The motion carried
unanimously and then, at 12:57 p. m.,
on motion of Mr. Boar, the Senate ad
journed till Monday.
Mr. Carter gave notice of the post
ponement of his address heretofore
announced foi Monday on his notice
to recommit the tariff bill until
Wednesday of next week.
Refused to Pray for the State,
' ' Richmond, Va„ Feb. 24 — It ia the
cuatoin of the clerk of the Virginia
house of delegates to invite a minister
to open the proceedings each day with
prayer. The Rev. C. J. Oelschlaeger,
a German Lutheran minister, was in
vited to serve the house as chaplain
next week. He responded thus: “I
do not believe in opening n promiscu
ous political body with prayer. Its
character makes it an abuse of prayer,
and an unnatural union of church and
state. I, as a Christian, and any mem
ber of the body as a Christian, can
privately pray for the session, but the
stmte which that body represents has
nothing to do with prayer.”

WALLING'S FIANCEE.
Jackson Wrote that He Disposed of Pearl
. » Brran.
Cincinnati, Feb. 20.—Two morning
' papers publish a statement made to
them by Miss May Smith of Louisville
who is acquainted with the accused,
murderers, Walling and Jackson. She
says she was in Cincinnati January 14
and took supper with Jackson at Hei
der’s restaurant Jackson told her
that Will Wood at Greencastle, Ind.,
had got a girl in trouble, and that
Wood was going to send the girl here
and he (Jackson) would put her out of
the way. Miss Smith says she cau
tioned Jackson of the danger of dis
covery in such an enterprise. He said
he was too smart to be discovered.
After the murder February 1, Jackson
wrote her saying that he had disposed
of the girl—meaning Pearl Bryan
—by •*—”
Jackson, she says, intended that she
should fill in the dash from her mem
ory of the conversation at the res
taurant. Miss Smith says she left the
letter in Louisville securely hidden.
She told the officer its hiding place.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 20. — May
Smith came here early in January and
was employed by Lister and wife,
who opened a dress cutting establish
ment here on January 4. Mr. Lister
said this morning that on reading the
first account of the affair the girl ap
peared horrified, as she had been hi
correspondence with both Jackson
and Walling, and had told Mrs. Lister
that she was engaged to Walling.
When the account came out
in the newspapers that May Smith
also had been operated on by
Walling and Jackson, the girl'stoutly
denied it. Mr. Lister said, however,
that about a week before Christmas, I
while in the employment of Mrs.
Fuson, the girl was absent from the ;
office a week, and if the operation was
performed it was performed at that
time. Mr. Lister also declared that
when the girl came back to work she
appeared altogether changed and ap- I
peared thinner and looked sickly. |
May Smith is between 18 and 20
years of age and has dark eyes and i
black hair and is quite pretty. Mr.
Lister says he is positive that she .
knew of the operation performed on i
Pearl Bryan by Willing. i

since I came here that he will be beat

ers of the party in the East do not
mean to permit McKinley's nomina
tion. They are organizing very thor
oroughly. That is what the bringing
out of new candidates means.’’ j

Health in Old Age,
AN OLD LADY FINDS THE TRUE
SOURCE OF VITALITY.
A Reporter’* Interesting Interview VTItU
a Lady of Seventy-two Tears.
Who Tells a Marvelous -
Story. -
From the Union, Port Jervis, N. V.
But a short time ago, in a distant
part of the country, we heard of a
cure by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, which seemed almost marvelous,
and more recently another substantial
evidence of their value reached our
ears. Being of an inquiring turn of
mind, and wishing to know Just .how
much there was in the story, a reporter
was sent to interview the person said
to be thus benefited. If the narrative
as it had reached our ears was true,
it was only simple Justice to let it be
known—if it proved untrue, it would be
well to know It.
The person alluded to above as having
been thus greatly benefited by the use
of Pink Pills is Mrs. Jane Hotalen, of
Hainesvlllc, N. J., a pleasant hamlet in
Sussex County, about fifteen miles from
this office. The reporter had no diffi
culty In finding Mrs. Hotalen. After a
few’ preliminary remarks in explanation
of the call, she was asked if she had
any objection to giving us the details
of the case and how she came to try
this now famous remedy.
“Not at all,” said she. "If my expe
rience can be of any good to others, I
am sure they are welcome to it—it can
do me no harm.”
“When were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady?” was
asked.
ii was aooui two years ago. 1 ne
trouble was rheumatic In character—
sciatica, they called it—and it was very
painful indeed. The difficulty began in
my hip and extended the whole length
of the limb, crippling me completely.
I Buffered Intensely from it, and the or
dinary treatment gave me not the
slightest alleviation. I was under treat
ment about a month as stated, but grew
worse instead of better, and was fast be
coming discouraged.”
"What brought Pink Pills to your
notice?”
"My son called my attention to an.
article in a paper, in which it was stated
that a Mr. Struble, of Branchville, a
tillage in this county, had been greatly
benefited by their use, and suggested
that it would be a good plan to try
them. But I was skeptical In regard
to their value—in fact, I had no con
fidence in their efficacy, and rather
laughed at the suggestion. But the
trouble increased and I was badly crip
pled. A few days later my son was
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that it might be well
to try this much-talked-of remedy, ‘and
I-then consented. He bought me a box
of them, and I began taking them at
once. At the end of a week I noted a
marked improvement, and by the time
I had taken the first box I was able to
walk without a cane. I continued their
use, taking several boxes, and am, as
you see, in a very comfortable state of
health.”
• “Have you had any return .of the
trouble?”
“Not as yet, though at my time of
life, seventy-two, it would not be sur
prising if 1 should have. If It comes I
should at once begin the use of the pills.
I suppose I inherit a tendency to
troubles of this kind—my mother died
from them.”
"Did you ever note any til effects from
the use of Pink Pills?” %
"None whatever. They never dls-si!
turbed my stomach In any way or
caused me any annoyance. I am abic,
as you see, to attend to my own work.
The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen
for her courtesy and bade her good,
day. It is not often that one can wit
ness such a • complete recovery from,
such a pertinacious trouble at such an
advanced age, and such Instances can
not fail to produce a profound impres
sion. Readers of the Union may rely
on the absolute accuracy of all the
statements here given — nothing has
been exaggerated, nothing withhold.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
by all druggists, or may be had by mait
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y„ for 50c per box, or

A woman lately returned from Bra
sil tells of a curious custom in Para.
She went with her uncle, who was in
bnsiness, to dine at the house of a
wealthy merchant Everything was j
very gorgeous and lavish, in South W
American style, but, on leaving, she •
was amazed to hear her hospitable host ’
say to her: “If you have any washing,
send it here.” It is the custom there,
it seems, for wealthy householders to
take in laundry work as an employ
ment for their large retinue of serv
ants. “It did, however,” said the re
lator, “give me a turn at the end cf a
formal dinner party to be asked for my k
soiled linen.”—Baltimore Review
