- The meeting was. called to order at
the Grand hotel at 2 o'clock p. m. by
Farris being absent, C. Q. De France
was chosen secretary pro tern. The
roll of counties was called and com
mitteemen present were noted. A mo
tion was carried to allow any populist
present to represent his county in the
absence of the regular committeeman
Alter some informal , speeches by
Messrs. Tibbies, Thomas and Gilbert,
regular business was reached by mo
tion of Mr. Mullen that
"It is the sense of this body that a
delegate convention of the pecple's in
dependent party be called to meet on
the third Tuesday of June, 1904, for
the purpose of electing 48 delegates
to the Springfield national cunven
tion."
Mr. Howard, representing the "farm
er" element of Hamilton county,
moved to amend by changing the date
to the last Tuesday in August. Chair
" man Weber held good a point of order
raised that the amendment was not
germane to the original motion
Whereupon the "farmer'- element of
Hamilton -had its innings again upon
Mr. Howard's substitute motion that
."The state convention of the peo
ple's independent partj be held on
the third Tuesday in August, 1904."
Mr. Mullen opposed the substitute
motion because he believed Nebraska
should be represented at the Spring
field national convention. 113 favored
co-operation witn tno iiocrai acmo
crats of Nebraska upon a state ticket,
regardless of what might be the out
come nationally at St. Louis and
Springfield.
, Mr. Howard opposed having any
delegates from Nebraska sent to
Spiingflelfl. He had been present at
St. IiOuls in 189G and Knew what to
expect from those louE-horncd Texas
Bteera who would be present at Spiing-
fteld and simply run over the Nebias
ka delegation and stamp it Into t ho
earth. He didn't want the fanner'
element of Hamilton misrepresented
in any such manner. He woild give
$5 a head for Hamilton county popul
1st who approve either the Denver
conference, or the St. Unils meeting
or the Springfield rail. H would slm
ply Ut the Springfield gathering go by
default and after the St. I .oh is con
vcntlon, it Mr. Hryan were defeated
he would go to the Hryanltc and nay
Here we are. ready to Join with you."

Gentlemen: "For two. months my physician experimented
with me trying to cure a hard cold which settled in my stomach,
causing inflammation and catarrh. I then made up my mind
he was simply unable to help me, and reading jmme of the
flattering testimonials as to the value of Peruna in such cases,
I thought I would try it. -
"It was six weeks before I could eat a meal without unpleasant
effects, but I have now been well for six months, and I give all
the credit to Peruna." Mrs. Leone Dolehan.

"There is nothing like Peruna for
that tired feeling, which gives you no
ambition for work or play. After a pro
longed illness, about a year ago I felt
unable to regain my health, but four
tattled - nf Pernna made a -wonderful
change and restored me to perfect health.
As long as you keep your blood in a
good condition you are""ali right, and
Peruna seems td fill the veins with pure,
healthful blood. I thoroughly endorse
it." Miss Helen Whitman.
How to Get Strong Nerves. -
JFirst, repair the injury already done
to your nerves. The way to do this is to
do exactly as did Mr. Hal. P. Denton,
Chief Department Publicity and Promo
tion of National Export Exposition.
He writes: "Toward the latter part
of August I found myself in a very
much run-down condition. My family
physician said I had nervous prostra
tion and recommended a sea voyage. I
gradually grew worse. A kind friend
whom I had known In Ohio recom
mended Peruna. Though skeptical, I
finally yielded to his advice. After
using one bottlo.I was much improved
and with the fifth bottle came complete
recovery. I am in perfect health today
and owe everything to Peruna." Hal.
P.Denton.

spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried it has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. W. Timberlakc, of Lynchburg,
Va., who, in a recent letter, made use of
the following words: " I always take a
dose of Peruna after business hours, as
it is a great thing for the nerves. There
is no better, spring tonic, and I have
used about all of them." Mrs. D. W.
Timberlake.

Catarrh In Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medi
cines more effective. A short course of
Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of
spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of
catarrh that have resisted treatment for
years. Everybody should have a copy
of Dr. nartman's latest book on catarrh.

at Denver and St. Louis and casting
slurs upon them; but
None of these gentlemen were ob
tuse enough to think tnat the Spring
field convention would fail to meet on
schedule time because Nebraska failed
to send a delegation. Hence, the viva
voce vote upon the substitute of Mr.
Howard gave one yea possibly, two
and a chorus of nays. Whereupon; Mr.
Mullen's motion prevailed, notwith
standing a vigorous no" from the
farmer" element ol Hamilton.
Mr. Garrett moved that Fremont bo
selected as the place; Mr. Lyman sug
gested Hastings; and Mr. Eager, Lin
coln. After some discussion, Messis,
Lyman and Kaer withdrew their mo-
lions, and Fremont m named unani
moutily, Mr. Garrett assuring hall and
first class treatment. The time was
fixed at 4 o'clock p. m.. In order that
all hUKluc!4 could b transacted In
time for delegates to have the next
morning.
Mr. Mullen then moved to leave th
date and pla of holding the tdate
nominating convention In the hand of
the chairman and executive commit
tee. Mr. Hrady moved to Amend by or
dering the chairman to meet with the
democratic chairman and arrange to
hold both contentions on the am
day at the name place; but fuibnequent
ly withdrew hi motion. Mr. Kager
moved that thlit convention Ut held

After some talk as to date. Mr. Ima
ger's motion prevailed and Lincoln
was thereupon chosen as the place.
MICHIGAN.
Michigan populists are entitled to 22
delegates to the Springfield conven
tion, but it seems probable that no
convention will be held to select them.
This opens up the way for a preferen
tial vote by the Old Ouard and Van
guard to secure a delegation.
The populist situation in Michigan
Is complex. Such men as Grece of
Detroit, Vandercook of St. Ixmls. Dr.
Nichols of Greenville, Ewlng of Grand
Ledge and Cole of KowlcrvlUe are
hading spirits among the "fusion"
populists, are opposed to Independent
action by the people's party and still
cling to democracy In the hope of
keeping the party along It Hryan
llearst lines. ICtvlng was populist can

McBrlder; by the way, Is out In a
strong letter in the Missouri World
favoring an adlournment of the
Springfield convention three weeks, in
order to let the situation clear up af
ter the smoke of the St. Louii conven
tion. He insists, in a private letter to
The Independent, that he is "ready lor
tho wonst and anxious to Invite in
star.t demise of the people's party by
postponing our national convention, If
Hearst's' success at t. Louis will
moan deml.se."
U Is doubtful whether, without ex
ceedingly prompt action, a referen
dum vote on postponement could ho
taken in time to make it generally
known. Hut the convention when it
meet can delay matters a few day If
