Washington dispatch: Ex-Senator
Manderson of Nebraska, in an Inter
view, admitted that ho was in the
hands of his friends as a candidate for
the presidential nomination before tho
republican convention nt St. Louis.
For months .Mr. Manderson has been
the recipient of letters from nil parts
.,. i i .!. ... .. l.
of tho country urging him to enter the
contest. Tne insistence, ho said, scorn
ed to become moro persistent with his
expressions of disinclination mid before
leaving Nebraska he stated that he
would mnko no further opposition, but
would remain passive.
Ceneral Manderson said tonight that
the various marks of confidence and
manifestations of endorsement which
j would bo apparent by the presenta
tion of his name at St. Louis are most
I grateful and acceptable. Ho has been
. greatly influenced by tho kindly ex
pressions of tho eastern press, particu
larly Pennsylvania, where ho wus
born, and Ohio, where his early miin-
I hood was spent. Under the circum
stances lie enn only stand anil wait.
Tho Now Irrigation I.utr.
As the tlmo approaches when the
new district Irrigation law becomes ef
fective by the organization of districts
nnd tho voting on this proposition a
number of questions of general inter
est to people contemplating such ac
' tiou nro being submitted to the state
officers. Ono of these is in relation to
who are eligihlo voters. Ono such in
quirer wonts to know If one living on a
homestead which he has tiled upon, but
on which he has not made limit proof,
Is a voter. Tho language of the act
itself on the subject of tho eligibility of
voters says: "No person shall be en
titled to vote at any election held un
der tho provisions of this act unless he
bhall be a qualified elector and the
owner of real estato in such district."
There seems to have been the ques
tion raised of whether the land can be
taxed beforelho government hab part
ed with the title and the tax levied
made a lien on the land. If the holder
of this kind of nn incompleted right of
ownership can.not bo held for his part
of tho expenses the farm owners who
have deeds to their lands say it would
be an injustice to others to
let them
govern
participate in tho voting
und
men t of the district.

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 Ueil Willow county. Tho latter
company, comprising a large number
of people, intervened in the case be
fore tho board and claimed under
riparian common law procedure, but the
board decided nguinst it, and dismissed
the intervention as immaterial to the
case. Tho claim of K. P. James of
Chase county was dismissed. He had
sought to make appropriation of water
from Frenchman river for mill pur
poses, but tho board found his applica
tion deficient in detail. Tho claim of
the Republican River Irrigation com
pany as against J. 15. Phelan, K. F.
Highland, A. P. Ilcuno and It. Williams
was also dismissed on tho ground that
the contestant had not complied with
the law of 1880. This was a case from
Dundy county and involved rights to
water from the Republican river.

As the beet-raising and sugar-making
has proven a success throughout tho
htate of Nebraska, writes a correspond
ent to the State Journal, and most
everybody seems to feel that a lasting
success will bo made of it, especially
sinco that new process came in by
which they claim the cost of making
suirar Is greatly reduced, and if tho
plan is carried out to build factories in
different parts of tho state, allow mo
to propose a plan by which all thoso
aro mado safe who iniulit interest
themselves in this industry, and this is
as follows: Suppose It lakes S2.'.,0)0 to
erect such a factory as they say, it win
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 SI, 000, or
whatever sum it may take, so that no
man shall have n greater share than
the other, which will bring every stock
holder on nn even footing with tho
other, and no one has moro power than
the other, or in other words, freeze the
smaller stockholders out, which is gen
erally the ease where one or 'more have
the controlling power. It will also be
seen by this that in this way, such es
tablishments can bo run tend ought to
be run independently from any monop
oly or trust. As there is no danger of
over-stocking the marketwlth this pro
duct, any man 'who has any money to
spare is willing to invest in a safe busi
ness running under uueh management
where everyone is equal with the other.
I would like to have some opinion on
this subject from others.

met to-day to listen to the reading of
Washington's farewell address by
Senator Frye, the president pro teni
of the Senate. This was in accordance
with a resolution previously intro
duced by Senator Roar. The vice
president occupied the seat of the pre
siding oflicer and Mr. Frye took his
position behind the secretnrv's desk,
thus faeing the entire Senate. He
read from an old print volume in largo
type and without special effort filled
the large chamber with his resonant
voice so that tho patriotic and well
rounded sentences were heard by all
present.
Tho reading of the journal and of
the address wero preceded by a prayer
by Dr. Wallace Hadolille, pastor of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, who asked (!od to "bless
(Irover Cleveland, tne President of the
lnllcd States," and referring to Wash

fornia, the pray 0T Wits ordered printed
in the Record.
Thoro was a liberal attendance of
senators and the only vacant seats In
the galleries were in the diplomatic

entirely vacant, but almost all the
seals In the gallery for the families of
senators were taken. The vice presi
dentV was entirely tilled and tho"pres
ident's was also oecuuied. Many pre
sen od themselves for admission to
the popular galleries long before the
opening of the doo.s. Close attention
was given to the reading by senators
and others, rendering tho ceremony
thoroughly impressive and none the
less so on nocount of the simplicity
and the absence of ostentation by
winch it was marUeu.

a German Lutheran minister, was in
vited to serve the house as chaplain
next week. Ho responded thus: "I
do not believe in opening a promiscu

character makes li an abuse of prayer,
and an unnatural union of church and
state. I, us a Christian, and any mem

AN OLb LADY FINDS THE TRUB
SOURCE OF VITALITY.
A Itoportcr' InlcrmtlnR Interview With
u I.aily of Hcrrnty-two Year,
W ho 'loll it Murvelous
Story.
From the Tnlon, Port Jervlfl, N..
Rut a short time ngo, in a ilHtant
part of the' country, we heard of ft
cure by the use of Dr. Williams Pink
Plllp, which .seemed almost marvHou-.
and moro recently another substantial
evidence of their value reached our
ears. Helm? ot an ituiulrlns turn if
mind, and wishing to know Just how
much there was In the story, a reporter
was sent to Interview the person khIiI
to he thus honollted. If tho narrntivo
an It had reached our ears was true.
It was only simple Justice to let It be
known If It proved untrue, It would be
well to know It.
The person alluded to above aa hn ln
been thus Rrcntly benefited by tho ue
of Pink Pills Is Mrs. Jane Jlotalen. i C
Halnesvllle, N J a pleasant hnmlot In
Sussex County, about fifteen miles from
this oflice. Tho reporter had no dllll
culty in lindhiK Mrs. Hotalen. Aftr n
few preliminary remarks In explanation
of tho call, she wus asked It she had
any objection to Riving ns the detail
of the case nnd how she came to try
thin now famous remedy.
"Not at all." said she. "It niy cmm
rlence enn be of any good to otheis, I
am sure they nro welcome to it it enn
do me no harm."
"When were you taken sick and what
was the nature ot tho malady?" was
asked.
"It was about two years ago. The
trouble was rheumatic In character
sciatica, they called it and It was very
painful indeed. The difficulty begun In
my hip und extended the whole length
ot the limb, crippling me completely.
1 suffered intensely from It, and the- or
dinary treatment gave me not the
slightest alleviation. 1 was under treat
ment about n month as stated, but grew
worse Instead of better, and was fast In
coming discouraged."
"Whnt brought Pink Pills to oi,r
notice?"
"My son called my attention to nn
article in a paper. In which It was stated
that a Mr. Rtrublo, of Hranchvlllo. a
village In this county, had been greatly
benefited by tluir use, and suggested
that It would be a good plan to try
them. Hut I was skeptical In regaid
to their value In fact, I had no e"n
ildoncc in their cfllcncy, and ratln t
laughed at the suggestion. I!ut the
trouble IncienHod and I was hailtj crip
pled. A few duys later my sou v.is
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that It might ho well
to try this mueh-talked-or remedy, and
1 then consented. He bought mo it box
of them, and I began taking thi m at
once. At tho end of n week I tinted a
marked Improvement, and by the time
I had tnken tho llrst box I was able to
walk without a cane. 1 continued thelt
use, taking several boxes, and am. ns
you see, in a very comfortable 3t. to of
health."
"Have you had any return of the
trouble'.'"
"Not as yot, though at my timo r.f
lite, seventy-two. it would not bo sur
prising If I should have. IjT it comes f
should at once begin the use of the pills.
I suppose I Inherit a tendency to
troubles of this kind my mothor duel
from them."
"Did vou over note any ill effects from
the use of Pink Pills?"
"None whatever. They never illr
turbed my stomach in any way r
caused mo any annoyance, f am ahU.
as you see, to attend to my own work.
The reporter thanked Mri. Il-itnlni
for her courtesy nnd bade her gouij
day. It is not often that one can wit
ness such a complete recovery fiom
such a pertinacious troublo at Mieh uu
advanced age, nnd such Instances uin
not fall to produce a profound impirs
slon. Headers of tho Union may rely
on the absolute accuracy of nil the
statements here given nothing hau

Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills contain .ill
