You know all about it. You are a perfect slave to your work. It’s rush through the day and worry through the night. There’s no time to eat and no time to sleep. Already you have F nervous dyspepsia, nervous sick headache, and neuralgia. Your food ^ distresses you. You suffer from terrible depression. The outlook is dark and for bidding. You feel sure there is but one termination to this — That’s w Nervous Prostration And nervous prostration is something you don’t want, that’s certain. Then don’t have it. A perfect Sarsaparilla prevents this distressing and dangerous disease, and it cures it, also. It keeps you up when especially pressed with work. It cures dyspepsia, and it builds up exhausted nerve tissue. But it must be a perfect Sarsaparilla to do this. So far as we can learn, there isn't but one in the world, and That’s AYERS n* on*v Sarsaparilla made under the personal supervision of three graouates: a graduate n pharmacy, a graduate in chemistry’, and a graduate in medicine.” Si.C/0 a bottle.

There is a boy sc holar in one of the Pr.:latia grammar schools who has hi? fc-ai her wondering whether he is one of the unsophisticated students of the age or a real humorist. At a re ♦ Rt monthly examination one of the questions in physiology the pupils w*-re called upon to answer was: "What is th* patella or knee pan?" The answer of Young Innocent or ker was as follows: “The patella* or knee pact.- is trousers which extend from the waste to the knee, and were •»<.rn by grown up men during George Warhington'a administration. They ar* not worn by men in the present’ Ti-“* — ept bicycle riders and men who play »olf. but are only worn by c-mall Boy's. Every boy is glad when he is old enough to take off his patellae or knee pants and go into long pants »1- h extend from the waste to the ankcl ” A' -ording to a French newspaper. \meri«an ladies are making pets of Japanese mb-e which cost S100 apiece. There are at the present moment be lli an' immissioned offi cers in the army who have risen from the ranks. The Fatal Kiss*. "Electricity is a funny force,” sad the observant motorman to his con ductor as he boarded his car. ‘‘Last night nearly all the current was sud denly cut off from the wires in the barn, and after a minute came on again. Soon an odor like that of an overcooked dinner filled the power house. On examination two chickens were found slowly roasting to death on the main wire. For hours the feath ered pair had rested in safety on sepa rate wires. The minute chanticleer reached across to give a good night kiss to his dear Biddy, on an opposite wire, a deadly current was forced through their bodies, and hence the odor of roasting chicken.” Novel Voting Machine Test. A man has obtained a permit to erect a temporary shed in Park Row, New York, in which he will place a votng machine to be tested. Every one pass ing will lie invited to go in and try the machine by depositing a ballot for their choice for president of the United States. This will test the machine, ; and at the same time yield a straw vote on the presidency in the neghbor hood of Park Rcw. BIU IN THE BLOOD No matter how pleasant your surroundings, health, good health, is the foundation for en joyment. Bowel trouble causes more aches and pains than all other diseases together, and when you get a good dose of bilious bile coursing through the blood life's a hell on earth. Millions of people are doctoring for chronic ailments that started with bad bowels, and they will never get better till the bowels are right. You know how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the mouth mornings, and general “all gone" feeling during the day—keep on going from bad to worse untill the suffering becomes awful, life loses its charms, and there is many a one that has been driven to suicidal relief. Educate your bowels with CASCARETS. Don’t neglect the slightest irregularity. See that you have one natural, easy movement each day. CASCA RET S tone the bowels—make them strong— and after you have used them once you will wonder why it is that vou have ever been I* 1 them- \ ou will imd all your other disorders commence to get better at once, and soon you will be well by taking- ~ | RAILROAD TAXES TOO LOW Harrington of O'Neil Addresses State Board of Equalization. LINCOLN, May 5.—The state board of equalization, comprised of Governor Poynter, Treasurer Meserve and Aud itor Cornell, will meet next Monday to equalize the assessment of taxes against railroad and telegraph lines in Nebraska. For the past few years there has been but very little change in the assessed valuation of Nebraska railroads as fixed by the state board, notwithstanding the fact Chat real values have increased and improve ments amo luting in the millions have been made. M. F. Harrington of O'Neill has ad diessed a communication to the mem bers of the equalization board touch ing upon many of the inequalities *f the railroad assessment and calling at tention to the fact that while the value of railroad property in Nebraska has increased, the assessed valuation has been allowed to decrease. As an in stance. it is shown that during the last ten years the railroad mileage of the state has increased 510 miles, which should have carried with it an in crease in the assessed valuation of $3,000,000, but that notwithstanding this the present valuation of the roads as fixed by the board of equalization is over $3,000,000 less than it w,«s ten years ago under the republican admin istration. Weather Crop ttolletin. United States Department of Agri culture, climate and crop service of the Nebraska section, issued from the cential office at the University of Ne braska for the week ending Mav 1, 1900: The past week has been warm and wet, with more than the normal amount of cloudiness. The daily mean temperature for the wec~. aver aged 10 degrees above normal in the eastern and 7 degrees in the western counties. The rainfall has been above normal in all parts of the state. In the cen tral and eastern counties it exceeded an inch, and in a considerable portion of this area it exceeded two inches. In a large portion of the state rain fell on every day of the week, keeping the ground wet and preventing any substantial progress in plowing for corn, and practically no corn was planted. The continued warm weather has been exceedingly favorable for the growth oi wheat, oats and grass. All small g.'ain is in fine condition. Grass has grown sufficiently to fur nish good pasturage for cattle. Peach, articot and cherrv trees are full of blossoms. G. A. LOVELAND. Section Director, Lincoln, Neb. Feed in Transit Arbitrarily Delayed. OMAHA. May 5.—The new feed-in transit arbitrary which Nebraska roads expected to put into effect May 5 will probably be delayed a few days, owing to the failure of some of the in terested lines to be present at the meeting of the trans-Missouri freight committee, held fh Kansas City. Offi cials of the Omaha roads who return ed from the meeting state that the plan to re-establish such an arbitrari meets with unanimous approval and that the delay beyond the time orig inally intended for its adeptiton will be but brief. The action of the mem bers of the committee approving the proposed arbitrary will be submitted to the interested lines which were not represented at the Kansas City meet ing and as soon as it is ratified the new rates will become operative. State Capital Note*. LINCOLN. May a.—Sheriff Dow of Harlan county was in the city in search of two fugitives from justice, who escaped from a hotel in Albion a week ago. One of the men was traced to Lincoln, but he could not be found today. Supreme court arguments were heard in the suit of the State against the Union Pacific Railroad company for alleged violation of the maximum freight rate law. Attorney John N. Baldwin of Council Bluffs represented the road and Attorney General Smyth appeared for the state. The argument was on a demurrer to the state's peti tion. Student* Dismissed From In«tltutlon.

LINCOLN, May 5.—Governor Poyn ter has again sent requisition papers to the governor of the state of Wash ington for the return of Rowland P. Hills, who is wanted at Blair to an swer to the charge of bigamy.
