The Praise That Comes From Thankful
Plattsmouth People.
One kidney remedy never fails.
Plattsmouth people rely upon ir. Tnat
remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. I'latls
mouth testimony proves it always reli
able. J B. Patridge, living on Eighth
street, between Oak and Locust streets
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I never
before had any remedy that did me so
much good as Doan's Kidney Pills
which I procured from Gering & Co. 's
drug store. Before using them I was
pretty nearly broken down with my
back. I could hardly straighten and
suffered almost constantly from pain
aoross my loins and kidneys. My first
experience with this kind of trouble
dates back a long time ago and I be
lieve J know what misery and torture
kidney complaint briDgs At times I
have been so crippled up that I could
not get around without tbe use of a
cane. The first box of Doan's Kidney
Pills did me so much good that I got
tbe second box. This brought me out
all right. It did the work thoroughly.
There is no expression I can give that
would overestimate the vaule I place
on Doan's Kidney rills."

Social Position.
Many men living in poor circum
stances usually complain of illfortune
and attribute tbe success of their
neighbors to luck, only but, consider
ing all circumstances, have often to
admit that the position each person
occupies in society justly due to him
Some work hard and are thrifty, while
others neglect their business and
spend their money foolishly. Some
preserve their health and strength to
old age, because in their younger
years they worked and lead a modest
life. Those who need health, and
strength, in order to be successful in
their light for wealth and position
should use Triner's American Elixir
of Bitter Wine. It works in harmony
with tbe nature and assists all nat
ural functions. In ma'adies of tbe
digestive organs, of the blood and of
the nerves, in weakness and sleepless
ness, it is indeed a reliable remedy.

BACK TO THE ASYLUM
End of the Case of the Man Who
Thought He Was Not
Insane.
RUSSELL NOT SAFE AT LIBERTY
His Own Conversation in Court S-rin
to Have Been Conclusive Af;aintit
His Sanity.
New York, Jan. 15. Several Justices
cf tbe Now York state Mipreme court
were railed as witnesses in the bear
ing in winch Edward J. ' Iiussell waa
attempting to prove that lie ought not
to be kept in the Insane asylum at
Dannemern, and to show that he la
the victim of a conspiracy headed by
ex-Governor Odell. At the opening of
tlio hearing Russell objected to V
detention at the Manhuttun state 1ms
pital for the insane In this city during
the progress of his case. He declared
that he had been made ill by medi
cines administered to him there. He
likened himself to Dreyfus, and de
clared that if he were taken ill and
should be unable to conduct Ins case
he did not want any lawyer, no mat
ter how honest, assigned to the case.
He Calls Two .Justices.
Russell then called Justice Almet F.
Jenks, of Brooklyn, for extortion from
whom Russell was sentenced to prison
lor ten years, ne nskea ine justice
what crime he (Kussell) had been con
victed of and, when informed it was
extortion Itusscllsald that corroborated
bis contention that the record had been
falsified to represent that he was con
victed of blackmail. Justice Marcan,
who was next called, said that he had
adjourned his own court in Brooklyn
In order to respond to Russell's sub
pot na. Russell asked him why be had
dismissed a writ of habeas corpus
which Russell's mother had -secured in
order to get Kussell out of the asylum.
Some 31 ore "Wild Questions.
He w as wanted to, know if it was
not done to help Charles F. Murphy,
Governor Odell and "the other con
spirators." "I do not know what you
are talking about," said Justice
Marean.
"Did you not unlawfully decide that
writ to help some one of influence?"
"Such a purpose was nevft on my
hoiion," replied the justice.
"Would you admit if you had done
soi" "I believe I would. I always
tell the truth."
"Even if it would consign you to
political oblivion and smirch your ju
dicial honor?" "My judicial honor Is
safe," replied the justice.
IMPUGNS THE PRESIDING JUDGE
Quotes Jerome as Saying Most Su
preme Court Justices Are Corrupt.
Russell again reverted to the allowed
consipracy, and when some of his ques
tions concerning it were excluded ly
Justice iruax, he said: "ion are pro
tecting this witness and through him
protecting Charles F. Murphy. Jerome
said that most of the supreme court
justices are corrupt, lut I have hoped
that you. would not he one of them.
When the crucial points come you
fail me, your honor."
"Go on with your questions." said
Justice Truax. Iiussell had a long
string of questions recounting the al
leged conspiracy, and nsked Justice
Marean if he was not familiar with it.
and if that wasn't the reason he dis
missed the writ, sending him hack to
prison in order to aid the conspirators.
"I don't know anything about it." de
clared Justice Marean.
"Ah," said Russell, "that is the ref
uge of all consiprators. Continuing his
questioning of Justice Marsan Russell
asked: ".Should a judge of the supreme
court make himself infamous by pro
tecting Charles F. Murphy?" District
Attorney Clark objected to this ques
tion and it remained unanswered.
Russell then produced the files of a
New York newspaper of June 10, 1S01,
which contained a long article on pris
on abuses, some of which information
had been furnished by Russell. He
wanted to read the whole article, but
Justice Truax would not allow it only
to be marked for identification. Kussell
alleged that the article in question
showed the inception of the alleged
conspiracy.
District Attorney Clarke moved to
dismiss the writ, but this was denied,
and he called Dr. Charles MacDon
ald. the alienist, to the stand. Dr. Mac
Donald testified that he first saw Rus
sell at Matteawan in 1S03, and that he
was then suffering from paranoia. The
phyisian added that Russell was in
sane now beyond question, and that
his form of insanity rendered him a
dangerous man. ,
sell then made an argument in
his own defense, and after he had con
cluded Justice Truax ruled that Rus
sell was still insane, and remanded
him back to the prison. Russell made
a dramatic plea in his own behalf.

WAY TO DISPENSE A LOBBY
Goiernor Cummins of Iowa has a Word to
Say on the Subject.
Ilegarding tbe evils or lobbying,
which are receiving the attention of
varlousnecut I v Governor Cummins
of Iowa has a ord to say saj s the Chi
cago Tribune. He does not underesti
mate these evils or believe they should
not be remedii d, but he does not sub
scribe to the Missouri Idea or the plan
in Wisconsin requiring the registration
of lobbyists. And he takes the broad
ground that "men have an undoubted
right to appear before legislative com
mittee to speak for themselves or for
corporations for which they are in
terested, and this right cannot be tak
en away without danger to our system
of government.
Tbe whole trouble, as Gov. Cummins
points out significantly, exists not in
the lobby but in the men whom the
lobby approaches. The real cure lies
in the election of men to ofllce who
will faithfully perform their duty re
gardless of the wishes of lobbyists.
First elect an Incorruptible legislature
and the whole problem is solved: He
who is upright needs no anti lobby
laws to defend him. Indeed, it is
somewhat of a reflection to send a man
to the legislature and then, as if be
were an unthinking child or a harden
ed scoundrel, surround him with laws
designed for the protection or for the
circumvention of his villainy. In
either case tbe public confesses that
it has not done its duty in the begin
ing by the election of the proper man
It is as clear as anything can be
that if a legislator is corrupt no laws
can be passed or plans devised to keep
him from corruption. There is more
than one way of reaching the ends of
the lobbyist, and if it is in a man to
accept a bribe or sell his influence or
permit himself to be "convinced" a
way of getting to him will present it
self without much delay or difficulty.
But there is also a way of keeping
such a man out of a position where he
will be of service to lobbyists and for
schemes inimical to the publicinterest,
and it is at the root of the trouble that
the people for their own protection
should strike.
This is the excellent suggestion
which the governor of Iowa offers to
the people at large as highly import
ant to consider in connection with
other plans for the circumvention of
the lobby. Give the lobby no material
to work on and it will soon go out of
business publicly and privately. Exer
cise the same care in the selection of
representatives at the state house
that is observed by corporations in the
choosing of their agents and tbe mat
ter quietly and satisfactorily adjusts j
itself. j
