CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Memphis , Tenn. , March 10. At a re
cent meeting of the general execultive
committee of the Confederate reunion
for 1901 a committee was appointed to
join with the several commercial
bodies of Memphis to visit Washing
ton and invite President McKinley to
be the guest of the city of Memphis on
the occasion of the reunion in May
next. The committee will leave for the
national capital in a few days.
As the time for holding the reunion
approaches the several committees are
becoming more active. The city is be
ing canvassed 'by the committee on ho
tels and accommodations and every
available room is being registered. A.
D. Langstaff , secretary of the commis
sary committee , a sub-organization of
the general committee in charge of
Cor " derate reunion arrangements , has
been very active in the past week erse
so in the discharge of the duties as
signed to him. He is engaged in plan
ning ways and means for caring for
the Confederate veterans when they
come to the reunion. Many of the
commands will very likely bivouack in
order to observe strict army regula
tions and if this should prove true they
will have to be cared for the same as if
they were in actual service again , but
with more care for their comfort The
commissary committee is to look after
these matters. Mr. Langstaff announces
that it is the purpose of the commit
tee to have the means of caring for
every Confederate veteran whether he
is able to pay his own way or not ,
and they will do so if it is possible.
They want it understood that the com
missary committee is not organized to
look only after those who are able to
pay their own way , but to look after
the rest as well.

Frank Dinsmore Must Pay the Penalty
for His Odessa Crime ,
SUPREME COURT RULES ON CASE
Ono of tlio Most Sensational Murder
Trials In the Htute's Annnls Mrs.
Laue Still lu Jull at Kenrncy Otlier
Nebraska Matters.
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 9. Frank
L. Dinsmore must pay his debt to so
ciety for disobeying its laws by forfei
ture of his life.
This was the ruling of the supreme
court , when it affirmed the judgment
of the district court of Buffalo county.
Dinsmore was found guilty there of
murdering Fred Laue at Odessa and
sentenced 'by Judge Sullivau to hang
by the neck until dead. There are
two possibilities yet before the con
demned man. One is that the court
may grant a rehearing before the ex
piration of forty days and thc-n reverse
itself , and the others is exercise of the
pardoning power by Governor Die
trich. Neither offers much hope.
Never in the history of the state
has there been a murder trial that at
tracted so much attention as did that
of Dinsmore. The man's relatives , re
spectable , well-to-do people , hired the
most able couns l obtainable to defend
him , and the county attorney im
pressed W. D. Oldham , then deputy
attorney general of the state , into ser
vice to assist in the prosecution. The
case was bitterly fought and newspa
pers the United States over devoted
column after column to the sensational
testimony.
One of the peculiar circumstances
was that Mr. and Mrs. Dinsmore , who
had been married less than a year ,
lived on the ground floor of the resi
dence occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Laue.
On the same night Laue was found
dead in his bed irom bullet wounds
and Mrs. Dinsmore was | ound dead ,
below , from poisoning.
The theory of the state was -that
Dirismoro had killed Laue , and on this
charge he was prosecuted. Mrs. Laue
was the most damaging witness
against him. The evidence showed
that illicit relations .had existed be
tween the defendant and Mrs. Laue ,
long before he brought his wife to live
there. It was claimed that he mur
dered Laue and that Mrs. Dinsmore
was gotten out of the way. that Dins-
more and Mrs. Line might continue
their relations without ifear of detec
tion. An attempt was made by news
paper correspondents at the time to
show that Mrs. Laue was under Dins-
more's hypnotic power , despite the
fact that there was nothing in the ev
idence on the point. Dinsmore did not
take the stand in his own behalL
When the sentence of the court hsd
been pronounced he was brought to
Lincoln and place : ! in the penitentiary
for safe keeping. He rests there to
day , protesting , as he has over since
liis arrest , that he is innocent , but in
sisting that ho has no idea who com
mitted the crime.
The date set by the district court
for the execution Inst July , but a
stay was granted by the supreme court ,
which tribunal must now set another
date. The t'me ' has not yet been de
termined. It cannot be within forty
days. Mrs. Laie is still in jail at
Kearney.
GARDNER A LIPE CONVICT.
Another of the Men Who Killed Herman
Znhn Gets His Sentence.
FREMONT , Neb. , March 9. Edward
Gardner , one of the convicted murder
ers of Herman Zahn , has been sent
enced to imprisonment for life. "Have
you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon you ? "
asked Judge Grimison. "No , sir , " was
his reply , in a voice indicating deep
emotion.
In delivering the sentence , the judge
referred to the atrocity of the crime
and the part which the evidence
showed Gardner took in it , stepping
over the body of Zahn lying on the
floor in the agonies of death , and with
his loaded revolver holding the men
in the saloon off while the robbry
was being completed ; the shooting at
others as he made his escape from the
building. All this showed that he was
equally guilty with his associate ,
Rhea , who fired the fatal shot.
In conclusion , the judge said : "Ycu
can consider yourself very fortuna'e
that your life does not pay the penalty
of your crime. The sentence of the
court is that you be confined in the
state penitentiary during your natural
life , no part of the time to be in sol
itary confinement. "
Father Rnesinjr's Donation.

degrees. The apprehension of the
farmers as to the hopper plague nest
summer are thereby relieved.
Fire Remains a Mystery.
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 9. "The
origin of the penitentiary fire
is uncertain , and may never be
known , " said Deputy Warden Bowers.
"It was doubtless caused by electric
light wires or a defective flue , which ,
we cannot say. We canuot even lo
cate exactly the room where it started ,
but it was doubtless in one of the
several rooms between the guards'
sleeping apartments and the wardens'
room in the main building. For my
part , I place no credence in the theory
that convicts started the fire. "

( Special.Mrs. . E. A. Deacon of this
town is Vice-President of the loaal
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
She is a lady of splendid capabilities ,
and these she has always directed to
wards the uplifting of humanity. What
Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in East
Randolph without question. No one
has ever doubted her truthfulness or
honesty o < f purpose.
Mrs. Deacon says : "My attention
was first called to the remarkable cur
ative value of Dodd's Kidney Pills ,
through the cure of a literary lady Avho
was a friend of mine , and who from
mental overwork was on the verge of
insanity. After the failure of her phy
sician to help her , her husband was
advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney
Pills , which she did with gratifying re
sults. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured , but at the end
of two months' treatment , she was her
own happy , 'brilliant self once more.
"Feeling languid and worn out my
self , I thought they would perhaps be a'
help to me , and I am very glad to say
that two boxes made a new woman
of me. I feel ten years younger , am in
the very best of health , and appreciate
that it was entirely through the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I give them high
est indorsement. "
These cases are becoming very com
mon in Cattaraugus County , and many
ladies have had experiences similar to
those of Mrs. Deacon and her friend.
What Dodd's Kidney Pills have donu
for these suffering women , they Avili
do for anyone who gives them a fair

lion. David Aleekison is well Known ,
not only in his own State , but through

career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives , during which time lie became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon , Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by a very large majority , and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one Haw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious approach
preach and tenacious grasp , was his
only unconquercd foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue , and he
dictated the following letter to Dr.
Hartinan os the result :
"I have used several bottlfr ? of Pe-
ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. I feel
encouraged to believe that if I use it
a short time longer I will be able to
fully eradicate the disease of thirty
years' standing. Yours truly ,
"David Meekison. "

CASCARETS are a sure cure for tape worms and those other pests of v/orms that make the lives of children
and their mothers miserable. Any variety of parasites that live in the human stomach or bov/els , and feed on the
substance which should properly nourish the body , are dislodged by Cascarets Candy Cathartic , and expelled.
One or two tablets usually drive them out , and persistent use is sure to do away v/ith the unwelcome intruders.
Many children and older people suffer from worms without knowing it , and get thin and weak , although their
appetite is good. The best way to find out is to take Cascarets. Never accept a substitute !
