It is a remarkable fact that any one
ward in Philadelphia you irilght al
most say any division of one ward-
contributes more to charity In one
week than the Paris exposition did
during its entire run , " said a young
man of the Quaker city who has just
returned from the French capital.
"When the exposition was opened
boxes were placed all ijirough the
grounds , embellished with signs in va
rious languages , setting forth the fact
that the contents would be devoted to
charity. Millions of people visited the
exposition and must have seen these
boxes , for they were conspicuously
displayed. They were not exainnled
until after the close of the exposition ;
and how much do you suppose they all
contained ? Less than $12 ! That's a
fine record for charity , isn't it ? "

GORDON , Neb. , Feb. 9. The Httlo
town of Merriman , twenty-five miles
east of Gordon , -was shaken up by the
shooting of Jim White , who has been
holding forth in this vicinity for
some time. Jim White and Louis
Provo , a half-breed Indian , entered

White and Provo began the trouble
by throwing cuspidores at Kern , chas
ing him behind the bar , brandishing
their revolvers and uttering vile
threats. Kern did not propose to have
them take possession in that way and
came out shooting. The first shot
passed through White's lungs.
It is reported that White killed
three men in Montana , for which he
had to leave there , and he has been
regarded as a dangerous person. He

"The observance of Arhor day has
In the past contributed in no small
degree to the growth and Improve
ment of Nebraska's forestry and foli
age. It has transformed vast ex
panses of prairie into picturesque
woodland. Increasing the landscape
beauty of the state and making it
more desirable for those seeking op
portunities for investment and af
fording comfort and pleasure to those
already jhere. This practice , which
has added so much beauty and value
to the state in the past , should not
only be maintained in the future , but
should be enlarged upon to the great
est practical extent. On each recur
ring Arbor day every citizen of Ne-
hraska should add at least one tree
to our forestry and foliage , which
shall serve the double purpose of be
ing both commemorative and benefi
cial commemorative of the mental
genius of our distinguished citizen ,
Hon. J. Sterling Morton , author of
Arhor day , and beneficial in the way
of increased comfort and value.
"By authority vested in me by law
I therefore do hereby proclaim and
designate Monday , April 22 , 1901 , as
Arbor day , and I earnestly request of
the citizens of this state and all
school children to observe this occa
sion by the planting of trees and
beautifying shrubbery.
"In testimony whereof I have here
unto subscribed my name and caused
to be affixed the great seal of the
state of Nebraska. Done at Lincoln ,

Basis for Representation.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Feb. 9. Under the
reapportionment of legislative dis
tricts each 32,000 people of Nebraska
will be entitled to one senator and
three representatives. The number
of members -will remain unchanged ,
but the representation will be divid
ed upon an actual population basis ,
which will probably decrease the rep
resentation of the eastern half of the
state and increase that of the western
half. Representative Evans of Lin
coln county is preparing to make a
strong fight in the house In behalf
of his section , and in the upper branch
Senators Currie and Van Boskirk will
champion the interests of the great
northwest.

HASTINGS , Neb. , Feb. 9. The leg
islative committees appointed to visit
all the state institutions for the pur
pose of inspection visited the asylum
for the chronic insane at Hastings
and were carefully escorted through
the institution by Superintendent
Kern and Steward Haverly. The in
vestigating committees made a thor
ough examination of everything and
expressed great surprise at finding
the institution in such excellent con
dition. They found that all wards
were filled to the limit and on learn
ing the annual increase of inmates
in the Hastings asylum they all ex
pressed themselves to the effect that
it was an absolute necessity that a
new wing be added to this institution
at the earliest possible date.

HASTINGS , Neb. , Feb. 9. The Asy

popular and influential lady. For
three , years she has been ill. Now she

Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly for
what they have done for me. I was
troubled for three years with weakness ,
and often had dizzy spells , so that I
dared not go out alone. My head would
ache continually for four or live days
at a time , until life became simply a
burden.
"All the medicine I took did me no
good , until my physician advised mete
to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I secured
a box , and soon found that my head
ache was leaving me. I felt encourag
ed and kept on taking them and get
ting stronger. The pains gradually
diminished , until I had used four
boxes , and all trace of pain had gone.
I am today a strong and well woman ,
thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. If the
price was one dollar per pill , instead
of 50c a box , they would be cheap ,
compared with other so-called medi
cines placed before a suffering public. "
This is but a sample of the letters re
ceived every day by the hundred. They
all tell the same story of sickness and
soreness , changed into health and

red rough chapped hands fissured itching

feverish palms , with shapeless nails and painful
finger ends , this treatment is simply wonderful ,
and points to a speedy cure of the most distress
ing cases when physicians and all else fail *
WAS troubled with hands so sore that when I pot them in wafer the can
would near set me crazy , the skin would peel off , and the flesh would get hard
and break , then the blood would flow from at least fifty places on each hand.
"Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three years.
I tried at least eight doctors , but my hands were worse than when I commenced
doctoring. I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one
cent's worth of good and could not even get relief.
N. J. , who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings.
' Before I could start to work , I would have to wrap each finger on both hands ,
and then wear gloves , which I hated to do , for when I came intake them off , it
would take two hours and the flesh would break and bleed. Some of my friends
who had seen my hands would say , "If they had such hands they would have
them " others would "they would work " and
amputated" ; cay never , more would
turn away in disgust. But thanks to Cuticura , the greatest of skin cures , it
ended all my sufferings.
' Just to think , after doctoring three years , and spending dollar after dollar during
that time , Cuticura cured me. It has now been two years since I used it and I
do not know what sore hands are. I never lost a day's wort while I was using
it or since , and I have been working at the same business , and in acids , etc.
