PEKIN, Monday, Nor. 26 —Tha dip lomatic body held a final meeting this morning and agreed upon the terms of the prjllmlnary treaty.

This note contained the instructions that have been sent to Minister Conger and are believed to be of such a nature as to constitute an appeal from the extreme course sug gested by tome of the powers as to the treatment of the Chinese govern ment on some of the matters upon which the ministers have been unable to agree.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nor. 26.—Chief Jus tice Norval has held that the board of transportation is null and void and the other two judges of the Nebraska supreme court concur. The law Is de clared unconstitutional because it was not properly passed by the two houses of the legislature. This decision wipes from the statutes a law that has been in force since 1887 and leaves prac tically no railroad regulation in force. The old maximum rate law is dormant or inoperative, and upon the next leg islature will devolve the duty of en acting a new law or of submitting to the people a constitutional amendment providing for the election of railroad commissioners by the people. These or other remedies may be proposed. Following is the syllabus of the opinion: The provisions of section 11, article 3 of the constitution, relative to the mode of enacting laws are mandatory. The title to a legislative act Is a part thereof and must clearly express the subject of legislation. An enrolled bill in the office of the secretary of state is only prima facie evidence of its passage. Where the legislative journals une quivocally contradict the evidence fur nished by the enrolled bill the for mer will control. Webster vs. City of Hastings. 81 N. W. 610. A statute is invalid which the legis lative journals show was never passed in the mode prescribed by the consti tution. A statute is invalid which is not read in each house of the legislature on three different days. Chapter 60, 1887, is void as the act as enrolled was not passed by the leg islature in the mode prescribed by sec tion 11, article 3 of the constitution. Judge Holcomb occurred in the opin ion and added the following: "Although not entirely agreeing with the course of reasoning pursued by the chief justice in the foregoing opinion, I concur in all the propositions stated in the syllabus and regard as irresist ible the conclusion that the act under consideration failed to pass both branches of the legislature, in com pliance with the commands of the con stitution.” The principal fault in the passage of the bill was the change in the title. The same title did not pass both houses and the house journal does not show that the title was amended in that body. Totals on State Officers. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 26.—In the preliminary canvass of the vote for state officers the following totals were obtained: For Secretary of State—George W. Marsh, republican, 116,546; C. V.

COZAD, Neb., Nov. 24.—Errlck Se bol, a German, sixty-six years of age, was found dead in a canyon ten miles southwest of here by two hunters. The body was hanging to a plum tree. Three strands of binding twine were tied to the plum tree about fourteen Inches from the ground. The other end was around the dead man's neck. The tree Is on the edge of a ledge, and the body was hanging over the ledge. Sobel disappeared a year ago and it appears that he hung himself the same day that he disappeared, and the body had been hanging by the neck in the canyon for a year. The coyotes and birds feasted upon the remains. One of the legs and feet were found some distance from the body. The eyes appeared to have been pecked out by birds. Sebol had been working for Godfrey Ingalls for three years for his board and often stated that he had once a good home, but he deeded It to his son, with the understanding that he (the son) would care for him during the remainder of his life, but one day the son turned him out of doors and he has had no home since. Some think that there has been foul play, claiming that the binding twine that was around his neck was not stained, but as bright as new. Where to Apply for Place.

Thcatro, Minneapolis, Minn. Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentlemen—-‘‘As a remedy for ca tarrh I can cheerfully recommend Pe runa. I have been troubled with chronic catarrh for over six years. I had tried several remedies without re lief. A lodge friend advised me to try Peruna, and I began to use it faith fully before each meal. Since then I have always kept it in the house. I am now in better health than I have been in over twenty years, and I feel sure my catarrh is permanently cured.” Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo cated. As soon as Peruna removes systemic catarrh the digestion becomes good, nerves strong, and trouble van ishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not by temporarily stimu lating them, but by removing tho cause of weak nerves—systemic ca tarrh. This is the only cure that ~ lasts. Remove the cause; yature will do the rest. Peruna remo- f the cause.
