County Attorney W. W. Wilson is up a stump, as it were, as to what to do with children who are brought into the county court and sentenced to the reform scheoi, as the state funds for the transporting of the children, sen tenced to that school, has been ex hausted and the oflieers do not care to put up their money and run the risk of getting the same back from the state when the legislature makes another appropriation. Unless the county commissioners mako somo provisions to c ire for these expenses no one con victed and sentenced to the reform school can be taken there, but will have to be held in the county jail cr released on bonds u-nlil some funds are available for this purposo. The county attorne- will be loth to file or allow to be tiled any complaints of this nature in tho future unless the complainant or some one assuis the court that the expenses will be forthcoming as soon as tho conviction is s-ecured. Ne braska City Newji. The ancients b lieved that rhetna tism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an at tack of sciatic or ii tl immatory rheuma tism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It V.as never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain lSulni would cast out demons, but it will euro rheuma tism and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One ap piicition relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it aff rds is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by all druggists. Found for the Defendants.

The following in regard to the case of the State of Nebraska vs. the Stand ard Oil company, which'was taken up in supreme court yesterday, is clipped from the Lincoln Journal: "The constitutionality of the anti trust law of Nebraska was argued yes terday in the supremo court in tho case of the state against tho Standard Oil company. Theciso came up on a demurrer of the state to that part of the answer of tho company that ques tions the constitutionality of the state law under which Attorney General Smyth seeks to present the company from doing business on the ground that the company is a "trust," Oae hour for argument was given each side. Attorney General Smyth appeared for the stbta. Senator John M. Thurston, one of the company's attorreys,did not appear before tEe court and it was said by his co-laborers that he was no longer in the case. However, there are no papers on fila showing that he has withdrawn as attorney in the case. It the court decides the demurrer of the state in favor of the Standard Od company the suit will end with the fall of tho state trust law. Ii the de cision is in favor of the state the court will proceed to take evidence on the allegations in the state's petition. The motion of the state was submitted at the close of the argument in the after noon." Tortured Witness. Intense suffering was endured by witness T. L. Martin, of Dixie. Ky., before he gave this evidence: "I coughed every night uutil my throat was nearly raw; then I tried D.'. King's New Discovery, which gave instant relief. I have used it in my family for nearly four years and recommend it as the greatest remedy for coughs, colds and throat, chest and lung trou bles.'

Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease. S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations. Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C, writes r I had Catarrh, which became so deep seated that I was entirely deaf in one ear, and all inside of fay nose, including part of the bone, sloughed off. When the disease had gone this far the physician gave me up as incurable. I determined to try & S. S. as a last resort, aud began to improve at once.

The conspicuous absence of trees from the residential streets of modern New York is hard to explain. Rich men who live here on!y during the winter appear to take very little inter est in their fellow citizens who are compelled to remain in town all sum mer. In some in&tancos, indeed, the absence of trees in fiont of houses sit uated upon our park and river fronts seems to suggest a fear on the part of the owner that foliage might obicure architecture, apparently oblivious of the fact that the beauty of a dwelling is frequently enhanced thereby. As it is, few of our side streets are embel lished with vegetation; and even along the Boulevard an avenue highly fa vored by nature the trees are neg lected. This is true also of Seventh avenue above Central park, St. Nicho las avenue and of all other thorough fares not placed under the jurisdiction of the park commissioners a bodv which should be authorized to exercise control over every avenue upon which tbe preservation of the trees is deslr ab'.e. Except in front of St. Luke's hospital, Morningside drive, which is the glory of upper New York, is today barren of trees on its western 6ide; while on the historic King's Bridge road the few trees still remaining are sadly neglected. What must we think of a corporation that recently spent the enotmius sum of $7,00 1,000 on the construction of Harlem Speedway, without exercising sufficient foresight to provide that fine avenue with a row of shade trees for the protection of riders and drivers and their horses?

Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serioas and far-reaching in its results. The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys in fact all the organs feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs are reached its progress is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption.
