In the 1 1 ami of Hi Friends.
Washington dispatch: Ex-Senator
Manderson of Nebraska, in an inter
view, admitted that he was in the
hands of his friends as a
candidate for
thj presidential nomimvlion before the
,. t
republican convention at St. Louis.
For months Mr. Manderson has been
the recipient of letters from all parts
of the country urging him to enter the
contest. The insistence, he said, seem
ed to become more persistent with his
expressions of disinclination and before
leaving Nebraska he stated that he
would make no further opposition, but
would remain passive.
General Manderson said tonight that
the various marks of confidence and
manifestations of endorsement which
would be apparent by the presenta
tion of his name at St. Louis are most
grateful and acceptable. He has been
greatly infiuenccd by the kindly ex
pressions of the eastern press, particu
larly Pennsylvania, where he was
born, and Ohio, where his early man
i hood was spent. Under the circum
t stances he can only stand and wait.
i
I The New Irritation I -aw.
As the time approaches when the
new district irrigation law becomes ef
fective by the organization of districts
and the voting on this proposition a
' number of questions of general inter
est to people contemplating such ac
tion are being submitted to the state
officers. One of these is in relation to
who are eligible voters. One such in
quirer wants to know if one living on a
homestead which he has tiled upon, but
on which he has not made final proof,
is a voter. The language of the act
I itself on the subject of the eligibility of
voters says: "No person shall be en
titled to vote at any election held un
der the- provisions of this act unless he
shall be a qualified elector and the
' owner of real estate in such district."
I There seems to have been the ques
tion raised of whether the land can be
taxed before h overnment has part
I made a lien on the land. If the holder
of this kind of an incompleted right of
ownership cannot be held for his part
of the expenses the farm owners who
have deeds to their lands say it would
be an injustice to others to let them
participate in the voting and govern
ment of the district.
Three Irrigation Derisions.
Lincoln dispatch: The State board
of Irrigation filed three opinions today.
It found in favor of Andrew Carson,
who appealed as contestant against the
McCook Irrigating and Water company
of Red Willow county. The latter
company, comprising a large number
of people, intervened in the case be
fore the board and claimed under
riparian common law procedure, but the
board decided against it, and dismissed
the intervention as immaterial to the
case. The claim of IL 1. James of
Chase county was dismis-sed. He had
sought to make appropriation of water
from Frenchman river for mill pur
poses, but the board found his applica
tion deficient in detail. The claim of
the Republican River Irrigation com
pany as against J. R. Phelan, E. F.
Highland, A. I. Benno and R. Williams
was also dismissed on the ground that
the contestant had not complied with
the law of 1SS0. This was a case from
Dundy county and involved rights to
water from the Republican river.
How to Get Sugar Factories.
As the beet-raising and sugar-making
has proven a success throughout the
state of Nebraska, writes a correspond
i ent to the State Journal, and most
everybody seems to feel that a lasting
success will be made of it, especially
1 since that new process came in by
which they claim the cost of making
suear is ereatly reduced, and if
the
plan is carried out to build factories in
different parts of the state, allow me
to propose a plan by which all those
are made safe who might interest
themselves in this industry, and this is
as follows: Suppose it takes 825,000 to
erect such a factory as they say, it will
cover the cost ready to make sugar.
Now then, if it take that amount, or
whatever it may take, let twenty
five men each investing 81,000, or
whatever sum it may take, so that no
man shall have a greater share than
the other, which will bring every stock
holder on an even footing with the
other, and no one has more power than
the other, or in other words, freeze the
smaller stockholders out, which is gen
erally the case where one or more have
the controlling power. It will also be
seen by this that in this way, such es
tablishments can be run and ought to
be run independently from any monop
oly or trust. As there is no danger of
over-stocking the market with this pro
duct, any man who has any money to
spare is willing to invest in a safe busi
ness running under such management
where everyone is equal with the other.
I would like to have some opinion on
this subject from others.
Nebraska Men Pleased.
Washington dispatch: The Nebraska
men feel very well satisfied with the
bill in relation to suits to vacate' pat
ents upon public lands as it passed the
house today. Under the provisions of
the bill the bona . fide purchasers of
lands.f rora railroads are fully protected,
and the Lacy amendment, which was
adopted, operates to prevent - any
trouble growing out of the exchange
by the Burlington of lands in the
South Platte region, which it was fear
ed might cause disturbance. Under
this amendment all questions of title to
railroad lands in Nebraska are effectu
ally quieted.
M. D. HARTER A SUICIDE.
THE PROMINENT OHIO EX-CON
GRESSMAN KILLS HIMSELF.
AT THE HOME OF A FRIEND
Shot Himself Through the Temple, Pen
etrating the Brain No Cause U
Known for the Deed. Further
Than That He Had lleen
Suffering Prom Insom
nia Lately.
Fostoria, O., Feb. 24. Ex-Congressman
Michael L. Harter, committed
suicide at the home of S. Knapp, in
this city this morning. When found
life was extinct and he had been dead
several hours. The fatal shot was
fired from a revolver, the bullet en
tering the right temple, penetrating
the brain. He was lying on the bed
with the revolver clutched in his left
hand. No cause is knewu for the act,
further than he has been suffering
with insomnia for some time past.
On the bureau in his room was a
letter addressed to his wife in Phila-
delphia. and just outside the room
was found a package of letters ad
dressed to business associates. None
of these have been opened as yet.
Mr. Harter is largely interested in a
number of industries and represented
the Fourteenth Ohio district in Con
gress, but for the last two years has
been residing in Philadelphia.
Michael D. Harter was born in Can
ton, Ohio, in 146. He belonged to a
wealthy and influential family. His
father was a baukerand was a ,man of
very larce means. Mr. Harter was
reared a Republican but departed
from the political faith of his father
on the issue of protection. His
mother, who died only a few years
ago, was a woman of much intel
lectual force and s'iupathized with
her distinguished son on the tariff
issue. Although Mr. Harter was
an extensive manufacturer, he was an
ardent free trader. He was also
a sound money man and was a con
sistent opponent of the silver fallacy.
He and ex-Uovernor McKinley were
closely associated as young men and
were warm friends. Mr. Harter was
an earnest and active member, of the
Lutheran church the faith of his
parents. He lived in Mansfield, Ohio,
and was an intimate companion of
Senator Sherman. To all outward
seeming no man in tne community in
which he dwelt had more to

WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL,
Senator Frye Head It in the Senate
With Fine Kffect.
Washington, Feb. 24. The Senate
met to-day to listen to the reading of
Washington's farewell address by
Senator Frye, the president pro tern
of the Senate. This was in accordance
with a resolution previously intro
duced by Senator Hoar. The vice
president occupied the seat of the pre
siding officer and Mr. Frye took his
position behind the secretary's desk,
thus facing the entire Senate. He
read from an old print volume in larire
type and without special effort tilled
the large chamber with his resonant
voice so that the patriotic and well
rounded sentences were heard by all
present.
The reading of the journal and of
the address were preceded by a prayer
by Dr. Wallace lladcliffe, pastor of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, who asked (lod to "bless
Grover Cleveland, the President of the
United States," and referring to Wash
ington with special thanks, "for hi in
whose name is in all hearts to-day: for
the inheritance of his memory and for
the inspiration of his life and ex-
amoie."
On motion of Mr. Perkins of Cali
fornia, the prayer was ordered printed
in the Record.
There was a liberal attendance of
senators and the only vacant seats in
the galleries were in the diplomatic
and senate section-. The former was
entirely vacant, but almost all the
seats in the gallery for the fami'ies of
senators were taken. The vice presi
dent's was entirely lilied and the pres
ident's was also occupied. Many pre
sented themselves for admission to
the popular galleries long before the
opening of the doors. Close attention
was given to the reading by senators
and others, rendering the ceremony
thoroughly impressive and none the
less so on. account of the simplicity
and the absence of ostentation by
which it was marked.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the address. Mr. Gray of Delaware
moved that the thanks of the Senate
be tendered to Mr. Frye for the ad
mirable manner in which he had read
the address. The motion carried
unanimously and then," at 12:57 p. m..
on motion of Mr. Hoar, the Senate ad
journed till Monday.
Mr. Carter gave notice of the post
ponement of his address heretofore
announced for Monday on his notice
to recommit the tariff bill until
Wednesday of next week.
Refused to Pray for the State.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 24. It is the
custom of the clerk of the Virginia
house of delegates to invite a minister
to open the proceedings each day with
prayer. The Rev. 0. J. Oelschlaeger,
a German Lutheran minister, was in
vited to serve the house as chaplain
next week. He responded thus: "I
do not believe in opening a promiscu
ous political body with prayer. Its
character makes it an abuse of prayer,
and an unnatural union of church and
state. I, as a Christian, and any mem
ber of the body as a Christian, can
privately pray for the session, but the
state which that body represents has
nothing to do with prayer."

WALLING'S FIANCEE.
Jackson Wrote that He Disposed of Pearl
Iirrau.
Cincinnati, Feb. 20. Two morning
papers publish a statement made to
them by Miss May Smith of Louisville
who is acquainted with the accused
murderers, Walling and Jackson. She
says she was in Cincinnati January 14
and took supper with Jackson at Hei
der's restaurant. Jackson told her
that Will Wood at Greencastle, Ind.,
had got a girl in trouble, and that
Wood was going to send the girl here
and he (Jackson) would put her out of
the way. Miss Smith says she cau
tioned Jackson of the danger of dis
co verv in such an enterprise. He said
he was too smart to be discovered.
1 After the murder February 1, Jackson
wrote her saying that he had disposed
of the girl meaning Pearl Bryan
by " "
i Jackson, she says, intended that she
should fill in the dash from her mem
ory of the conversation at the res
i taurant. Miss Smith says she left the
letter in Louisville securely hidden.
She told the officer its hiding place.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 20. May
Smith came here early in January and
was employed by Lister and wife,
who opened a dress cutting establish
ment here on January 4. Mr. Lister
said this morning that on reading the
first account of the affair the girl ap
peared horrified, as she had been in
correspondence with both Jackson
and Walling, and had told Mrs. Lister
that she was engaged to Walling.
When the account came out
in the newspapers that May Smith
also . had been operated on by
Walling and Jackson, the girl stoutly
denied it. Mr. Lister said, however.
; that about a week before Christmas,
while in the employment of Mrs.
1 Fuson, the girl was absent from the
office a week, and if the operation was
j performed it was performed at that
I time. Mr. Lister also declared that
I wnen tne Slr came back to work she

peared thinner and looked sickly.
May Smith is between 18 and 20
years of age and has dark eyes and

Lister says he is positive that she
knew of the operation performed on

The Combination Against McKinley.
Washington, Feb. 20. "1 have
thought, and have said so nntil now,
that McKinley would be nominated,"
ex-Congressman Forman of East St.

opinion from what I have learned
since I came here that he will be beat
en at St. Louis. The combination
against him is very strong. The lead
ers of the party in the East do not
mean to permit McKinley's nomina
tion. They are organizing very thor
oroughly. That is what the bringing
out of new candidates means."

TRUE
A Reporter's Interesting Interview
Lady of Seventy-two Year
Wh Tells a Marvelous
Story.
With
From the Union, Port Jervls, N. T.
But a short time ago, In a distant
part of the country, we heard or a
cure by the use of Dr. Williams Pltrk
Pills, which seemed almost marvelous,
and more recently another, substantial
evidence of their value reached our
ears. Being of an Inquiring turn or
mind, and wishing to know Just how
much there was in the story, a reporter
was sent to interview the person
to be thus benefited. If the narratle
as it had reached our rarH was true,
it was only simple Justiee to let It 0
known if It proved untru It would be
well to know it. .
The person alluded to above as hAVintf
been thus greatly benefited by the ue
of Pink Pills Is Mrs. Jane Hotalen. or
Halnesville, N. J., a pleasant hamt In
Sussex County, about fifteen miles from
this office. The reporter had no- diffi
culty In finding Mrs. Hotalen. Aft-r a
few preliminary remarks in explanation
of the call, she was asked if Phe had
any objection to giving us the details
of the case and how she ;nne to try
this now famous remedy.
"Not at all," said she. "If my expe
rience can be of any good to others, I
am sure they are welcomi to it it can
do me no harm." T
"When were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady?" was
asked.
"It was about two years ago. Tn
trouble was rheumatic in character
sciatica, they called it and it was very
painful indeed. The difficulty began in
my hip and extended the whole length
of the limb, crippling m completely.
I suffered intensely from it, nnd the or
dinary treatment gave me not th
slightest alleviation. I was under treat
ment about a month as stated, but grew
worse instead of better, and was last be
coming discouraged."
"What brought Pink Pills to your
notice?"
"My son called my attention to an
article In a paper, in which it was stated
that a Mr. Struble. of Iranchvllle. a .
village in this county, had been greatly
benefited by their use, and suggested
that it would be a good plan to try
them. But I was skeptical in regard
to their value in fact, I had no con
fidence In their efficacy, and rather
laiiehed at the suggestion. But the
trouble Increased and I was badly crip
pled. A few days later rny son was
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that it might be well
to try this much-talked-of remedy, and
I then consented. He bought me a box
of them, and I began taking them at
once. At the end of a weok I noted a
marked Improvement, and by the tlma
I had taken the first box I was able to
walk without a cane. 1 continued their
use, taking several boxes, and am, as
you see. In a very comfortable state of
health."
"Have you had any return of th
trouble?"
"Not as yet, though at my time of
life, seventy-two, it would not be sur
prising if I should have. If it come I
should at once begin the use of the pills.
I suppose I inherit a tendency to
troubles of this kind my mother died
from them."
"Did you ever note any ill effects from
the use of Pink rills?"
"None whatever. Thej- never dis
turbed my stomach in any way or
caused me anj annoyance. I am able,
as you see, to attend to my own work.
The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen
for her courtesy and bade her good
day. It is not often that one can wit
ness such a complete recovery from
such a pertinacious trouble at such an
advanced age, and such Instances can
not fail to produce a profound impres
sion. Readers of the Union may rely
on the absolute accuracy of all ths
statements here given nothing has
been exaggerated, nothing withheld.
Dr. Williams' Pink PilLs contain all
the elements necessary to give new l!f
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. Thej- are for sn.f by
by all druggists, or may be had by mail
