A UNITED STATES SENATOR SAYS THAT PE-RU-HA, THE CATARRH CURE, GIVES STRENfiTH AND APPETITE. Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota. I Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota, per sonally endorses Perttna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, ut Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C., Senator Roach says: ••Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and I am glad to testify that It has greatly helped me In strength, vigor and appetite. I have been advised by friends that It Is remarkably cfflcatlous as a cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh. IV. /V. Poach, Lari more, North Dakota. No other remedy can take the place of Peruna. <1 i1 Mr. Ed J. Maklnson, contractor and builder, 610 Grand Block, Wa .!1 bash street, 8t. Paul, Minn., says: Mr. E. .7. MnUlnson, Contractor uni Builder. "Many doctor bills can be saved by the use of Peruna. I have all my friends taking Peruna, and 1 have heard nothlngbut praise from them. Last fall I hacl a bad cough. I took four bottles of Peru.na and It cured me. I am Inclined to w a r d s co n sumption. as all my family have died with it. I 11 weight iso pounds, and i believe it |1 is Peruna that has given me such 1 good health."— 3. Mukinson. !' As a result of the changeable cli 1! mate, catarrh has become one of the l| most prevalent and universal dis j i eases known to man. Nearly ono third of the people of the United v ij> States are afflicted with catarrh In 1| some of Its many phases and stages. !1 Add to this the tact that catarrh rap 1| idly tends to become fixed or chronic, t]' also the further fact that it is ca l' | pablc of producing a great many |' other diseases, and we begin to real i| ize the true nature of this dread dls J > ease. | * - So formidable has catarrh become 11 that In every city or town of any 11 size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of ca |! tarrh a specialty. Of course a great !' deal of good is accomplished In this '! way. but as yet a comparatively | > small number of the people can avail <| themselves of this treatment be ll cause of the great expense liecessa < | rlly attached to it. I To all such people Dr. Hartman’s remedy, Peruna, comes as a great boon. Not only la It more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but It Is within the reach of every person In this land. Peruna can be bought at any drug store, and is a remedy without equal for catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con sumption, and all climatic diseases of [ winter. Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex periment; it is an absolute, scien tific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some other remedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh but Pe ruun. Mr. Myron J. Kirkhuff, attorney, Byron J. Klrkhuff. Attorney nml Counsellor ut l.nw. couQs ellor-at- ,j law writes from '! 691 Gates ave., ]1 Brooklyn, N.

House roll 49, a joint resolution asking congress to call a constitutional con vention for the purpose of considering an amendment which will permit of election of United States senators by direct vote, was recommended for pass age. A number of bill3 were intro duced and the senate then adjourned. SENATE.—In the senate on the 19th senate files Nos. 122 and 187, both by Cummins, were indefinitely postponed.

The following res olution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, by the senate of the stated of Nebraska, That the death of the Hon. Samuel Maxwell closes the life of one of Nebraska’s most upright citi i zens. His long years of public service! in various departments proved his abil ity as a lawyer and his integrity as a' ; citizen. He brought ever the test of right to the discharge of duty and. with a purpose only for justice. His; career as a judge reflected credit uponj himself and the several courts of; which he was at various times a mem-j ber. Duty was well done, an upright; life, a conscientious judge, a kindly: man, a useful citizen, a man loved by; those who knew him—theso are mem-; ories recalled of Samuel Maxwell. The1 state has lost a good citizen; human-, ity a friend. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. ; The senate committee on public' lands and buildings, composed of Sen-i ators Allen, Young, Trompen, Arends.j Berlet, Owens, Steele, Lyman andi Krumbach, went to Omaha for the; purpose of looking into the need3 of; the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb,' located in that city. I The house held but a half day ses sion on the 22nd. Most of the time’ was devoted to a discussion of the merits of Representative Fowler’s bill relating to the redemption of land sold for taxes. In committee of the' whole the measure was recommended; for indefinite postponement, and this' recommendation was afterward car ried out by the house. It was urged that the bill conflicted with the terms' of another measure favorably passed' upon by the committee of the whole and awaiting final consideration. Senator Crounse introduced a bill' which provides for the sale, either at auction or private sale, of the prop erty belonging to the state and known as the governor’s mansion, the bill, providing that the money shall be turned into the state treasury. Senator Miller's bill, providing for stipulated sums to be paid county commissioners provides that county commissioners and county supervisors shall each be allowed for the time they shall be actually and necessarily employed in the duties of their office, the sum of $3 per day, and 5 cents per’ mile for each mile necessarily trav eled; provided, however, that in coun ties not having more than 5,000 in habitants their per diem shall not ex ceed $100 per year. By a vote of 84 to 7 Van Baskirk’s hide inspection bill passed the house, and the governor’s signature is the only thing lacking now to make it a law. It contains an emergency clause and will therefore become effective as soon as signed by the governor. Four bills introduced by McCarthy and indorsed by the State Bar asso ciation were taken up by the house and passed without debate. These were numbered 230, 232, 233 and 234, and all were recommended for passage by the committee of the whole. They affect supreme court procedure, espe cially in the manner of appealing and disposition of cases. Among new mils introduced is one by Senator O'Neill, providing for the appointment of a deputy auditor for the insurance department. The bill provides that the auditor of public ac counts shall have power to appoint a deputy for the insurance department of his office, who shall give a bond to the state in the sum of $5,000. The deputy, wnen authorized or acting for, or instead of the auditor, in all mat ter pertaining to insurance, shall have and may exercise the same power and authority conferred by law upon the auditor of public accounts. Financial Interests of the -State in p. Prosperous Condition. LAW REGARDING RIPARIAN RIGHTS The Supreme Court Render* » Deciaion In Reference Thereto—Where the Suit Originated—Miscellaneous Ne i braska Matters. LINCOLN, Feb., 23.—During tbo year ending December 2, 1900, the de posits in Nebraska state banks, ex clusive of national banaks, increased over 34,2000,000. This flattering indi cation of the continued prosperous growth of the financial interests of the state is reflected by the quarterly report of the constitution of all state banks, made public by Secretary Royse of the State Banking board. “The figures contained in the report may Ue taken as an unquestionable indication of the prosperous and sup erlative dividend-paying condition of the banks of our state and of the sound conservative basis upon which the banking interests are being con ducted,” said Secretary Royse. “So far as I know the department has never issued a report showing a more substantial advance. A year ago there were 405 banks in the state. To day there are 413 and all are in good condition and doing a paying busi ness. There have been increases in the items of loans and discounts, legal reserve, surplus and profits and de posits, while in notes and bills redis counted and bills payable there has been a substantial decrease. The gen eral deposits amount to 325,894,056.37.” A DECISION ON IRRIGATION Supreme Court Overrules Motion for Re hearing a Suit. LINCOLN, Feb. 23—Irrigators of the state will be disappointed by the action of the supreme court in over ruling a motion for rehearing the suit in which an opinion was rendered some months ago, holding that the old common law regarding riparian rights holds in Nebraska. This law, in ef fect, is that owners of land adjacent to a running stream have the right to Use the water of that stream, “undi luted, unpolluted, undiminished in quantity.” The suit was one originating in Dawes county, where the Crawford company organized for the purpose of running a ditch from the White river to the village of Crawford, the water in the ditch to be used for domestic and 'irrigating purposes. Leroy Hall was a mill owned on the stream, a ^ short distance below Crawford. The water used by the Crawford company slightly affected the flow at Hall’s mill and he was charged with threatening to destroy the dams of the company. It appealed to the district court for an injunction restraining Hall from in terfering its property in any way and for an adjudication of the rights of property owners along the stream. A temporary injunction was grant ed, but the court refused to make it permanent!, whereupon the supreme court was asked to review the action of the lower tribunal. Some months ago the court held that the trial court did not err, and it was on this that the company asked a rehearing. Report ou Insane Asylum. LINCOLN, Feb. 23.—The senate committee on public lands and build ings* of which Senator Allen is chair man, presented its report on the con dition of the Norfolk Insane asylum. The committee found the water sup ply inadequate, both as to pumps and storage, and suggests that a stand pipe be erected fourteen feet in diam eter and eighty feet high. The prob able cost of such a (standpipe is $4,000. The committee recommends 100 rock ers for the elderly inmates, one couch for each male ward and new iron beds in the female wards. Deitrlch Honors Requisition. LINCOLN, Feb. 23.—Governor Diet rich honored a requisition from the governor of Minnesota asking for the return of Elmer Tappy to that state. Tappy is under arrest at Gresly Center and is wanted at Mankato, Minn., on the charge of grand larceny. It is claimed that during the early part of this month he converted to his own use household goods not his own. York Is Advanced in Rank. LINCOLN, Feb. 23.—Governor Diet rich issued a proclamation declaring the city of York a city of the second class with a population of between 5,000 and 25,000. This action will give the city a new charter, for it has heretofore been governed by the laws relating to cities of less than 5,000 population. The official census credits York with a population of 5,132. Plead? Guilty to Forgery. BROKEN BOW, Feb. 23—Ed Penn, who has been held in jail three weeks on the charge of forging a check on Mike Roggen of Oconto for $37, plead ed guilty this afternoon. The judge deferred pronouncing sentence until the last of the week, when he will sentence both Penn and William Ox ley. Marshall S. Pike, a poet, singer and actor, is dead at Upton, Mass., aged 83. The White Pass & Yukon road has purchased the property of the Canadian Development company. York to Have a Library. YORK, Feb., 23.—The city treasurer has received the bequest of Mrs. Charles Woods of nearly $10,000, which was given to the city of York for the purpose of purchasing either a lot or a brick building suitable for library purposes. Owing to the ex pense in maintaining a library the majority of the committee believe that 4 it is best to purchase income-paying 7*" property or build in the business part of the city, wheje it can rent the low er rooms and in this way pay mofet of the running expanses oC the labrary.
