During the day, so thrj switchmen say, one of tho men occasionally merged f om the hiding place to make inquiries as to the running time of trains, hut they were seen together l'tte in the evening. It was tin intention to take the hounds to Ashland and follow the traii west, but shortly before tho time for departure arrived a telephone message was icceivcd from Cedar Creek, in forming tho authorities that the hard ware store of August Schneider at that place had been entered by burglars litt night and goods to tho value of about S carried i fT. One hundred knives, two razors, two revolvors, $4 in money and other articles were taken. It was decided to get the animals on the trail i f the Cedar Creek burglars without delay the authorities feeling confident that the Murauv thieves would be apprehended before they can get out of Nebraska. News received from Cedar Creek this afternoon announced that the hounds had gotten the scent of tho thieves at that place and had start d on the trail after them leading in a westerly direction. r'nrgdt Her I'romiMe.

The preliminary examination of llat tio Harkina, on tho charge of having made a murderous attack upon Frank J. Catleybon and wife, was held before Police Judge Archer this morning. Besides the' complainants, Marshal Slater, Deputy Sheriff McDride, Leon I'epperberg, Mrs. Brady and J. IL Den son testified as to their knowledge of the case. The only new features brought out at the hearing, however, besides those published in these col umns yesterday, was tho fact that the Catteysons both claimed the Ilarkins girls had a revolver in her hand at the time the trouble started, and that she had threatened to kill Mrs. Catteyson tho latter testifying that the heard something snap which she thought was tho hammer of a revolver, but bhj was not certain. It appears that when Mrs. Catteyson tcreamed and people began rushing to the scone the weapon was tossed into tho alley. When Mr. Catteyson rushed out Miss Ilarkins whisked out a knife which she had concealed in her stocking anil pro ceeded to make matters decidedly dis agreeable for tho cobbler.' The de fense gave no testimony. A. N. Sullivan looked after the in terests of Miss Ilarkins while County Attorney lioo prosecuted the caso.- Afier briefly reviewing the evidence presented Judge Archer stated that be felt justified iB binding the defendant over to the district court In the sum of -"00, but on the suggestion of .the at torneys he agreed to reduce tho amount to $300.

The Clofliug Meeting of the WoiuHU'fc Cli.b An Interesting One. From Saturday's daily. The Woman's club held the closing meeting of the year last eveuing at the club pallors. Nearly all of the club members were preseut and a num ber of visitors. The most interesting part of the evening's exercises was a lecturo be fore the History department by W. II. Pi zor of Nebraska City otv "The Declaration of Independence." Mr. I'itzer spoke of tho framing of the declaration, the conditions that made it possible and tho needs that made it imperative,and spoke throughout with an appreciation of his subject that showed careful study and scholarly preparation. Ho was listened to most attentively and a unanimous vote of thanks tendered him at the close of his talk not only for the fine lecture, but for courtesy shown the club in coming from Nebraska City to fulfill his engagement. Mr. I'itzer closed his address with tho ooin used by Hon. Joseph C. Sib ley in his speech in tho house of rep resentatives in February on "The Pol icy of Expansion." The poem with its introduction follows: History finds man first in Asia, from which the human family have emigrated to the westward until they have circled the globe, aud t day the ucw civilization clasps hands at Manila with the ancient. Mother Asia, we stand at our threshold. In a far, immemorial yore Wo left thee, great mother of nations, and now we re'urn to your door. 'A e have circled the seas and their islands, we have found us new worlds in the main; We have found us young brides o'er the alien tides; now we come to our mothers again. We- wandered through ages unnumbered, we were mad with the fever to roam: But the new flag that floats at Manila proclaims that your sons have come home. They come with the wealth of their wand'rings, they come in the strength of their pride; Now, old mother, arise, lift up your dim eyes. and behold your strong sons at your side. They are weeds in the garden of morning, they are mildew and earth and decay. And your blind days are drear, aud your heart has grown sere, in the days that your sons were away. But lift your old eyes to the seaward, where the tiag of the west is discerned; Be glad, gray old mother of nations the youth of the world has returned. ' They will toil in your gardens of morning, they will cleanse you of mire and of feu; Vou shall hear the glad laughter of children, ou shall see the strong arms of young men. New hope shall come back to your borders, de spair from your threshold be Spurned. A new day shall rise in your orient skies the youth of the world has returued. Mrs. Fellows spoke of the unanimity of feeling that had prevailed in the club during the past year, and hopes for the continuance of same during the coming year. Tho course of study promises to be most thorough, and the leaders of tho various departments will prepare their programs as soon as pos sible.

Remarks on Injunctions In Labor Troubles Some Organized I bor Iwh Condemned. - Washington, May 20. The industrial eo Ui mission La iU report to congress of labor legislation recommends im proved legislation to the state legisla tures rather than to congress directly The subject of greatest public interest today," says tho report, "is perhaps that of the regulation of the hours of labor permitted In Industrial occupa tions, aud especially in factories." As conirress has no power to legislate di rectly In this matter the committee recouirncnds that a simple statute be enacted by all the states regulating the length of the working day for all persons between the ages or 1 1 anu -i years who work in factories. . l'ixing of the Honrs of Labor. The report says: "The employment of children below the age of 14 should be prohibited in factories. The length of the working day in all public em ployment should be fixed at eight hours. The same time 6houId be fixed for workmen in underground mines except in case's of emergency. Em ployment in mines of children less than 14 years of age, and all women and girls, should be forbidden. Congress might well enact that no person under 15 should be employed as a telegraph oinrator uion railroads, and that all engineers and switchmen should sub mit to an examination for color blind ness; also that it be made a inlsdesean or for an engineer or switchman to be intoxicated while on duty." . .Matter Referred to the Statet. With reference to the regulation of the payment of wages the report says: "A single and liberal law regulating the payment of labor should be adopted by all the states, providing that all laborers shall be paid in cash orders without discount, not In goods or due bills, and that no compulsion, direct or indirect, should be used to make them purchase goods at any particular store." Of weighing coal at mines It says: "Provisions for the fair weigh ing of coal at mines before passing over a screen 6hould be adopted and the miners should have the privilege of employing a check welghman at their own expense." GOVERNMENT Y INJUNCTION." Suggestions as to the Granting of Restrain ing Orders Minority Views. The report takes up the subject of "government by Injunction," so-called, and says: "The question of the en forcement of the labor contract by in junction or contempt in equity process Is a very difficult one, mainly made so by the abuses which have arisen from suggested that it might be well to limit punihment for contempt to imprison ment for a brief period, but equity courts must not be deprived of the power to protect themselves and to make their decrees respected. The practice of awarding blanket injunc tions against all the world, or against unnamed defendants, should be discouraged not only by popular sentiment, but by intelligent judicial opinion. The statutes alredy adopted in the several states, discriminating as be tween union and non-union labor by making it a penal offense for an em ployer to exclud? union labor only, seenin to the commission to' be uncon stitutional, being class legislation. The statute should apply to non-union, as well as union, labor alike, if It is to be enacted at all. The right to be em ployed and protected, without belong ing" to a union, should be preserved; but every facility should be given la bor to organize if it desires. The use of private police detectives or other hired bodies of men, to be used In connection with labor troubles, has aroused considerable attention, and congress probably has power to enact reasonable legislation to prevent abuses in thi direction. In ageneral way the commission reports that con ciliation laws have been found effec tive, but that strict arbitratiofn ma chery rarely works well. It is recom mended that labor bureaus or commis sions be established in all the states. Commissioner E. A. Smith. C. J. Har ris and John W. Daniels concur in the opinion that it would be both unjust and impracticable to attempt any uni form laws regulating labor in all the states, if labor and capital are to have their full development. They say the right of private contract should be al lowed to both laborer and employer, and therefore the limiation of hours of labor would be fraught with danger. Ohio Avoids Mob Infamy. Columns.

The DEM WsT WV As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor- lMM-immmmm-.4fZn tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, UUMmGM M MHILMCtSM m . poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow. . , Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skia by absorption, or tTf f9 W?1 fggO V i"? inoculation; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the- VViitiJyIWMO system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the Bttmirt " AsTjkiirr 'J circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some imSMOOSM mOMGOmmm peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, " . mmm Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by Bm W9 ti B M ? a certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. Every blooil ,tw" " , w w disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES the poison must be completely and permb nently eradicated the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood. or any similar blood trouble, write them fully for advice about your case.

Any one who has had an at tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheuma tism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief.
