U.S. DISPENSATORY
De-scribes the Principal Ingredients
1 Contained in Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much , for Pe-
JTuy.a cvrhen. we claim it to be an.
Affective remedy for chronic catarrh ?
[ Have -we abundant proof that Pe-
jruna is in. reality such a catarrh
| remedy ? Let us see what the Unit
ed .States Dispensatory says of the
principal ingredients of Peruna.
Take , for instance , the ingredient
"hydrastis canadensia , or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
: -of this herbal remedy , that it is
largely employed in. the treatment of
'depraved mucous membranes , chronic -
! ic rhinitis ( nasal catarrh ) , atonic
dyspepsia ( catarrh of the stomach ) ,
jchroaic : intestinal catarrh , catarrhal
[ jaundice ( catarrh of the liver ) , and
* in diseased mucous membranes of
4he ; pelvic organs. It is also recom
mended for the treatment of various
forms of disease peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna ,
jcprydalis formosa , is classed in the
( United Stales Dispensatory as a
rtonic. So also is cubsbs classed as a
rstomachic and as a tonic for the mucous -
!
-cous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
'of ' .Peruna , an excellent drug that
"has. been very largely overlooked by
the medical profession for the past
fifty years. The seeds are to be
found in very few drug stores. The
[ United States Dispensatory says of
The actibn of cedrbn that it is used
lias n , bitter tonic and in the treatment
*
of dysentery , and in intermittent
diseases as a substitute for quinine.1

WOBKED HARD POB 27 YEARS.
"Woman HUM Been That Long in a
Ivunsjis City Packing : House.
1 The oldest employe m a Kansas
City packing house in point of serv
ice and age is a woman , says the Kan
sas City Star. She is Si years old
iind has been employed in packing
Chouses here continuously for twenty-
: seven years. Her name is Catherine
Ileichart She is a widow and lives
-at 37 "the Patch , " just in the rear of
the Armour packing house in the west
, side.
During all her time in the packing
house she has earned from $3.50 to
. vJ.oO a week. She supported herself
.and an invalid step-son , who is now
GO years old and has never done a
day's work.
When Mrs. Reichart's husband died
twenty-eight years ago she was with
out money and had a daughter and
the invalid step-son. She obtained em
ployment in the Dold packing house at
Sl.tiO a week. She worked there nine-
'teen years without losing a week.
Eight years ago she obtained employment -
ployment in the trimming room under
Miss Jessie Isham , who has. been employed -
-ployed there for many years.
THO old woman is a faithful worker ,
is always cheerful and contented. For
that reason she is practically her own
boss while at work. Those who work
with her say she does as much work
-.as a young person and never complains
about it
Mrs. Reichart has lived in "the
Patch" for twenty-one years. Around
her is a settlement of Poles and Croa-
lians , but she says she is satisfied to
live there , and wouldn't live anywhere
else if she had a chance.
"I want to live here in this little
shanty the rest of my life , " the old
woman said recently. "The flood of
1903 carried my house away , but my
friends and I collected drift timber
after the water went down , and we
'built this little shack , which I have
patched up a little every year since.
It is my home and I am satisfied. I

"I am happy and contented. I have
.It known nothing else for twenty-seven !
years than to work in the packing ,
houses. They are. kind to me there
and I like it I do not want ever to
Jje dependent on charity. "
Mrs. Keichart is slightly bent , her
"hands are calloused and her old
-wrinkled face always bears a happy
-smile. She says her "bones ache a
little" after a day's work , but a good
night's rest leaves her fresh for the
next day.
"Don't you call me old. " she said.
" "I might wear out but I will never
. : grow old. "

Anent strange cases , a lawyer said
lhat a hog had been tried for mur

"At CJarmont-Avin. in France , " Jie
said , "a huge hog killed and ate a child.
'The people , horror-stricken , treated the

He took down a book bound In gray

"Hereis the verdict" he said , "the

Legislature : :
To Make Dry Towns Drier.
Another rather drastic liquor measure -
ure has passed the senate committee
of the whole. It was Introduced by
Patrick originally to prevent the so
liciting by agents of liquor houses In
towns which had no saloons. At the
request of several of tha senators who
'iv In "wet" towns it was arasnded
Dy thesubstltutlonofan almost entirely
new bill , which Is Intended to pjrshib-
It absolutely the soliciting : by .igents of
order. Tor liquor except from retail
riealei.t regularly licensed. It Is so
drown that a regularly licensed saJison-
keeper may solicit orders from a fixed
place of business. The bill went
through practically without opposition *
* * #
Substitute Pure Food.
An entirely new bill as a substitute
to S. F. 64 , by Burns , combining the
features of the pure food and drug c.nrl
the dairy commissioner law has been-
reported back to the senate by the
standing committee , to which it was
referred and placed on general iile. In
Its general features the bill conforms
to the national pure food law. It pro
vides the governor shall be the food ,
dairy and drug commissioner and shall
appoint a deputy at a salary of $1SOO
a year and traveling expenses.
* * *
Anti-Tipping Bill.
The senate , in committee of the
whole , recommended for passage a
drastic "anti-tipping" bill. It is di
rected against waiters , porters and
similar employes , and provides a fine
of from $5 to $50 for any such em
ploye who solicits or accepts a "tip' ' cr
to any employer who knowingly per
mits his employers to accept the tips ,
or to any person who offers a "tip. "
* * *
Employers' Liability Bill.
In spite of the opposition o a pow
erful railroad lobby which has been
importing railway employes into Lin
coln to work against the bill , the em
ployer's liability bill introduced into
the senate by Gibson of Douglas early
in the session was passed through
committee of the whole without oppo
sition. The action of the senate was so
quickly done that Senator Gibson , who
had prepared to make a speech on the
measure , was not permitted'to do so.
The bill relates only to railroads and
to the more hazardous occupations in
railroading. It provides "fellow serv
ant" negligence shall not be a bar to
action for damages and that the ques
tion of contributory negligence is to be
left to the jury to decide in making up
Us verdict.

Regents Would Buy Books.
According to a semi-official state
ment , the regents of thestate university
are anxious to buy text books and seller
or rent them to the students at cost.
{ They are also anxious to hold open
meetings and have instructed their
employes not to lobby for or against
any measure affectirig the management
01 the university.
* * *
Maximum Kate on Oil.
A bill will be introduced in the
house some time during the early part
of the week fixing a maximum freight
rate on oil. This bill is the result of
Investigation of the Kansas oil propo
sition by a committee from the legis
lature. This committee received information
mation that the independent compa
nies of Kansas would sell oil in Ne
braska for 9 cents a gallon and fuel
oil for 2 % cents a gallon plus the
freight rate. In Kassa there is a max-
f reight rate. In Kansas there is a max-
oil come cheap ; consequently the Ne
braska law will be patterned after
that. *
Raid on Treasury.
The assaults on the state treasury
are coming thick and fast , and the
indications are the appropriations ask
ed for will overtop the high water
mark , though there Is no indication
that all the appropriations requested
will be Voted. Up to this time there
are bills introduced in the house call
ing for appropriations amounting to
$796,090. This does not include the
1-mill levy for the state university ,
the deficiency claims bill nor the grand
appropriation bill. These will run the
total up to an unprecedented amount.

TWO-CENT FARE RUSHED.
Emergency Measure in Nebras
ka Legislature.
Friends of the 2-cent fare Tuesday
won a signal victory in both the house
and ttie senate. Forcing the 2-cent
fare bill from a pigeonhole In the desk
of the senate committee it was made
a special order for 10 o'clock Wed-
nesday. After a two-hour debate the
senate unanimously agreed to its pass
age. While the senators were eating
dinner the whole engrossing room
force was put to work. Within five
minutes after the senate convened in
the afternoon the bill had been pass
ed and was hurried to the house.
House Gets in Line.
In the latter body the frineds of the
2-cent rate triumphed. In the senate
the railroad forces were hampered
to pieces and none dared to vote
against the bill. In the house opposi
tion also vanished. Tuesday night a
caucus ended in a draw.
The anti-railroadites , flushed -with
victory , declared that a rigid anti-pass
bill be indorsed in like manner and
freight rates pared and shaved.
The 2-cent fare bill may become a
law and its provisions effective before
the end of the month. A bill identical
with the one passed Tuesday by the
senate has been recommended for
passage by the house , it was said Tues
day night , would Wednesday , or at
least before the end of the week , con
cur in the senate bill. Gov. Sheldon is
known to favor the legislation. As "
either bill carries the emergency
clause the law will become operative
vith the approval of the governor
* * *
County Option Dead.
County option is dead and it will
not be resurrected at this session of
the legislature. The senate killed the
bill the other day and Monday after
noon the house killed it again though
its defenders tried hard to have it
placed on the general file for consid
eration. The judiciary committee re
ported the bill for indefinite postpone
ment. * * *
Undertakers Are Interested.
A delegation of undertakers of
Omaha , South Omaha and XJucoi *
waited upon members of the Icslsto *
ture Monday and the insurance depart
ment to discuss the practicability of
the introduction of a bill putting bur
ial companies under the jurisdiction
of the insurance department. The
company which caused the delegation ,
to make the visit has been incorporat-
j ! i ed in New Jersey and efforts are now
| ' being made to get it established in Ne
braska. Its plan is for an individual
'
to pay so much a month and wXan the
individual dies the company pays the
funeral and burial expenses. The un
dertakers are oppored to the company

Jennison'B LobLy XJaw.
the- bills passed by the hausi
! Monday afternoon was the anti-lobb5
bill by Jennison of Clay. This bill
makes It a misdemeanor for a paid
lobbyist to attempt to influence a
member of the legislature except
through published briefs or by speech
es made to committees. The penalty
is a fine of $100 to $500 and a jail
sentence of six months. The bill , how
ever , only received 59 votes , and con
sequently does not carry the emer
gency clause , so will not apply at this
session , even if it goes through the
senate.
House T'asscs Bills.
The house passed the following
bills Monday :
By McMullen of Gage , compelling
the regents of the state university to
hold open meetings when transacting
business pertaining to the university.
*
By E. P. Brown , allowing a tax
payer to appeal to the district court
on assessment though he has not ap
peared before the county board.
* * *
Wilson's Unit Resolution.
If arguments were needed to demon ,
strate the fallacy of the claim of the
railroads that the value of their termi
nal properties is distributed over the
various railroad lines of the state for
taxation purposes , that argument was
furnished the members of the house
Wednesday in a resolution by Wilson
of Custer county to compel the state
board of assessment to assess railroad
property as a unit and distribute the
aggregate valuation according to mile
age. This shows without any further
corroboration that the Burlington ter
minals arc distributed , if at all , only
on the line operated by the district
sub-corporation and not over the en
tire system in the state. The same ap
plies to the Union Pacific. Friends of
the terminal taxation bill , which pro
vides terminal properties shall be tax
ed locally for city and village pur
poses , believe no better plea for the
passage of the bill could be secured
than reference to this resolution ,
which , of course , was inspired by the
railroad lobby here , as Mr. Wilson as
much as any one member has shown
his connection wii these corporations.
His resolution , which went over under
the rules for one day upon objections
being raised by Clarke of Douglas ,
was published in full last Aveek.
* *
Trouble Over Employes.
The senate decided Wednesday to go
after incompetent and unnecessary
employes , and as a result several oi
( hem were shifted about to positions
they weie more competent to fill. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the body by Byrnes of Platte , who
demanded to know why a number of
bills had not been engrossed and re
turned to the senate. Senator Hoi-
brook , of the enrolling and engrossing
committee , replied it was because he
had not been supplied with competent
help , or enough of it. His committee ,
he said , had not been allowed a clerk
and some of the employes were in
competent. He said he had figured in
one instance that it cost the state $109
to get two bills engrossed because two
of the employes had done nothing
else sino the beginning of the session.
He said he was getting out the bills as
rapidly ns he could , but under the cir
cumstances the work proceeded very
slowly.
* * *
Railroad Fare for Officers.
The question of a method of paying
the railroad fare of state officers was
discussed Wednesday morning by the
members of the senate when the Mc
Kesson bill was under consideration.
The bill provides the secretary of state
shall issue to each officer coupons
which , when filled out and signed by
the officer , shall be exchangeable for
railroad tickets. Each coupon must
have thg name of the stations between j
which transportation was secured and i
a statement of the nature Qf th , $ business - J
ness requiring the trip. The coupons j
are to be paid by warrants on presen
tation to the auditor. A fine of from
$10 to $100 is attached for any officer
who uses the coupons to secure trans
portation for any but state business.

Bills Passed by Senate.
Sixteen bills were passed by the
senate Wednesday afternoon , among
them King's free high school bill , H.
R. 116 , allowing court reporters } 0
cents per 100 words for making bills
of exception ; Sackett's bill making
public officials who fail to enforce lawp

Made a Gorilla King : .
The craze among society womex for
queer pets is an old story. It usually
ends through being carried too far.
There is the case of Andromeda , for In
stance , and there is that other affair of
the decadent Roman emperor's daugh

who supplied strange beasts for the
amphitheater. One day the Praetorian
guard arose and murdered the caesar.
Tbe gorilla , who happened to be pres
ent , strauged the ringleader , who waste
to have assumed the imperial purple

delighted the Praetorians that they

DISASTER ON THE COAST OF

Xear Hook of Holland , Break * in
Tivo and Sinks Immediately.
A disastrous steamship wreck attend-
s& with great loss of life- , occurred
Thursday off he Hook o Holland ,
when the Great Sastern Hallway Com
pany's steamer Berlin , bound from Har
wich , England , to the Hook of Kol-
land. was lost. Of those on board , 141
persons in nil. vf whom ninety-one were
passengers , all but one wore drowned.
The wreck occurred off the north pier
of the Hook of Holland.
The agents of the wrecked steamer
say that although they are not positive
regarding the numbers , they believe
the vessel carried 120 passengers and a
crew of sixty officers and men.
The wreck occurred at G o'clock in
the morning , during a terrific south
westerly gale. The steamer struck the
north jetty , while trying to enter the
' new waterway at the Hook of Holland.
She broke in two , the forward part im
mediately sinking , while the passengers
and crew gathered on the stern , where
they vainly attempted to use the life
boats.
The Berlin left Harwich at 10
o'clock Wednesday night , upon the ar
rival there Of the London train with
the greater number of passengers who
subsequently lost their lives. The
steamer should have reached the Hook
of Holland at 6 o'clock Thursday morn
ing and would have then proceeded for
Rotterdam.
A great gale was blowing in the
North Sea when the Berlin started. As
the Berlin was entering the waterway
at the entrance of the River Maas , how
ever , she apparently became unmanage
able on account of the force of the wind
and was driven ashore.
The alarm was given and lifeboats
from the shore went to the assistance
of the stricken steamer , but the seas
were so heavy that the boats were un
able 'to approach the Berlin close
enough to take off any of the passen

to sit helpless while the steamer pound-

STICKS TO HER STORY.
Evelyn Tharr Does Xot Falter Under
Merciless Cross Questioning' .
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw , young wife of
the slayer of Stanford White , under
went a merciless cross-examination at
the hands of District Attorney Jerome.
The District Attorney insinuated , ca
joled and at times stormed at the wit
ness. She met his every rnood. When
he spoke softly her answers were soft :
when he tried sarcasm she in turn was
sarcastic , and when he raged her an
swers came sharp and defiant And
through it all the witness told just
what she wanted to tell and no more.
When cornered her unfailing refuge
was , "I don't remember. "
Mrs. Thaw's memory seemed to have
suffered a relapse since she told her

ed until she broke in two and every
soul on board was carried down. The
steamer apparently struck about amid
ships , as her forepart broke off and
sunk immediately , while her afterpart
could be seen for a considerable period
of time afterward.
The waterway In which the disaster
occurred is a new one on the north side
of which is the pier and railroad sta
tion. The steamer must have been
within a few minutes of tying up after
her rough passage across the North
Sea when she was overtaken by the dis
aster. Land was but a few yards away
and except In the roughest weather
those on board the Berlin could have
been rescued without difficulty , especial
ly as the waterway is navigable at all
tides.
The Berlin was a steel steamer , oniy
twelve years old , and popular with
travelers to the north of Europe. In
summer she usually was crowded with
passengers , but at this time of the year
her average was about as it was Wed
nesday night , the number being equally
divided between first and second class.

The gift of $1,600,000 & the Emma

finished her education there , and has been
for years one of the most enthusiastic
alumnae. In a letter to President Rick-
'etts of the Polytechnic , Sirs. Sage says

the greater part of her answers were
in words , "I don't remember. " With
the exception of these oft-repeated ad
missions her story was not shaken.
The District Attorney brought out the
fact 'that in 1902 Stanford White depos
ited $1,350 with Instructions that it be
paid to Evelyn Nesbit at the rate of
$25 a week under certain conditions.
Mr. Jerome sought to show that these
conditions were that the girl was to get
the money when she was out of work
on the stage or was ill. This she would
not admit , and though the questioner
tried for hours by every wile known to
him to make her admit the conditions
the most satisfactory answer he got"

The District Attorney delved into the
witness' past life With a familiarity as I
to details and a store of general knowl
edge which at times seemed to amaze
all who heard , not excepting the de
fendant's counsel themselves. Mr. Je
rome indicated early in his questionIng -
Ing that he had no disposition to spare
Mrs. Thaw's feelings. He questioned
the witness about her manner of pos
ing for artists , and he did not mince
words. Many photographs of Mrs.
Thaw were introduced in evidence.
Mr. Jerome plied the young woman
with questions as to what disposition
she had made of the letters written to
her by Stanford White gome , she
said , had been destroyed and some she
had given to her husband.
Mr. Jerome was assisted materially
in his cross-examination by typewritten1
statements made by Mrs , Thaw's moth
er and by Howard Nesbit , her brother.
He consulted the statements from time
to time and jumped about from one
part of Mrs. Thaw's story and one
period of her life to another , taking
every advantage of the ruling which
allowed him wide latitude In testing
the credibility of the witness. Mr. Del-
inas , contrary to expectations , inter
posed few objections.

SMOOT KEEPS HIS SEAT.
Four-Yervr Flprlit I Finally Settled
by the Senate.
Reed Smoot , Mormon apostle , after
nearly four years of uncertainty ,
strife..lo'Minciation and waiting , was
on Wednesday given
a clear title to his
seat as a Senator
from. Utah. His vin
dication was striking
and overwhelming.
Those who sought
his expulsion were
thirty- votes
short of the neces-
EEED SMOOT. sary two-thirds re
quired and seventeen votes below tha
majority necessary to exclude him. Of
the twenty-eight who voted against
Smooth there were no Republicans.
Of the forty-two In his favor three
were Democrats.
The three roll calls , which covered
every point in the controversy , came
after nearly five hours of debate , to
which hundreds of women who had
advocated and worked for the expul
sion of Mr. Smoot listened. Many of :
them applauded Senators Burrows , Dubois -
bois and Hansbrough as they denounc
ed Mr. Smoot as unfit to sit in the
Senate. They frowned in silence upon.
Senators Foraker and Beveridge , who
defended the Senator on trial for his
seat
All the galleries of the Senate were
filled by women. They even encroached
on the space ordinarily reserved for
men. They occupied every inch of
space and hundreds filled the corridors
unable to gain an entrance. Included
in. the number were the wife of Sena
tor Smoot , who closely followed all the
proceedings until the final roll call was
announced.
Scores of those who have actively
worked for more than forty-seven
months to secure the removal of Mr.
Smoot from the Senate , representatives
of all the women's organizations in the
United States , were present at the
final scene in the great fight against
Mr. Smoot After a final disposition
of the matter had been reached scores
of women crowded into the committee
room of Senator Burrows , who had
championed their cause , and congratu
lated him on the good fight he had
ma.de , although It proved unavailing.
Alf other business in the Senate was
abandoned In order that the Smoot
case might be given concluding atten
tion. The debate was.contjjivjous and
interesting.
