The effect that this ruling will have on the vote Is problematical. There have been an Increuslng number of voters to cast a straight ticket dur ing recent years anil unless such give particular heed to the situation re garding the judicial candidates and make an extra cross after the name of the candidate of their party , there Is likely to bo a material fulling olT of the vet > on the judicial ticket. Then again there uro a number of voters in every precinct having little regard for the names of cundldates , but being governed In making up tholr ticket solely by the party nnmo following the names of the candidate. These are also likely to bo confused if the names go on by petition , rind make another chance that the votes for district judges will run behind the tickets. It Is not likely to make a great deal of difference , however , be tween the two candidates as both will bo In the same condition by the rul ing of the secretary. AFTER ADULTERATED VINEGAR , State Food Commissioner Is Finding Stuff that Cannot be Sold Under the Nebraska Law , Stuto Food Commissioner W. F. Thompson condemned eleven barrels of "pure elder vinegar" ut Beatrice because the stuff is Improperly brand ed and is colored. The Nebraska law prohibits the sale of vinegar that Is colored. Some of the vinegar was not upplo vinegar , but was distilled and colored to Imitate upplo julco. Mr. Thompson does not say the dis tilled article is injurious or that It is not good vinegar , but It is a cheap er product and it is an imposition to sell it for something that costs more , filler vinegar costs at wholesale from 15 to IS cunts a gallon , while the ills- tilled kind costs from 11 to 12 cents. Both are often sold for ISO cents a gal lon. Thut there Is some pro lit In such sales no ono doubts. Nearly all that was condemned was mudo by the To- pekn Vinegar Works und OttoKuehne t Co. , the product of the latter being distilled and colored. Mr. Thompson has encountered a ! now Ingredient In vinegar which is evidently designed to fool any one who applies a Mmplo test. Whllo traveling Mr. Thompson Is accus tomed to use a slmpletest , being sugar ot lead. When this is dropped Into a glass of distilled vinegar It makes no change In the appearance of the product , but when it is dropped into cider vinegar it precipitates the sol ids. The law requires a certain amount of solids. This is where the distilled product falls short. It also shows coloring mutter. The now In gredient iibecl by the chemists of the distillers causes the vinegar to act somewhat similar to cider vinegar when sugar of lead Is added. The ac tion Is so much different that Mr. Thompson noticed it. Ho brought u sample to Lincoln and bis chemist begun work on It and found that It contained no applo. Mr. Thompson has decided to bring a certain Loavenworth vinegar com pany to time. This company has been for several years evading the Nebras ka law and has shipped Its product all over the state. It Is advertised as "fruit vinegar. " It proves not to bo upplo vinegar and under the law the food commissioner has power to re-1 i.ulrc the llrm to brand It so as to show what kind of fruit It Is made of. .

La Darre & Mucnster's Company En tertalns at the Auditorium. l.o Murre & Muonstor's "Two Uttlo Vagrants" held the boards at the An dttorlum Monday night. The house was not taxed to uccommoduto thus who uttended , and the members o the company found it dllllcult , a ] parently , to warm to tholr work There was u diversity of oplnloi about the merit of the pluy and o the company presenting It , but thus who were inclined to criticise wor \\llling to admit that the members o the cast hud scant encouragement t deliver the best of which they wor capable. The pluy tells the story of a ho who bus been given by a rovengofu husband and father to a burglai After nine years the father , who bin doubted the wife's tldollty , becam convinced of his error and , Illled wit remorse , offers " 0,000 francs to th burglar La Henard , for the return o his child , now called Kan Kan.

Then follows an hour and u half of door slamming , mistaken Identity , shrieks of sur prise , sudden exits and all the other time-honored complications of farce.

Unless some of the parents at thl place use bettor means to control thoi hoys. It Is only reasonable to qxpcc that another crop will soon lie rip for the reform school. With thro boys already there , another in dai ger of being sent for unlawful act I on the railroad right-of-way , am j another suspected of murdering a live year-old schoolmate. It would seen I that enough samples uro before th j parents to show the need of lookin | more closely after the boys Instcai 1 of refusing to recognize their inlstle meunors or trying to shield them 1 criminal tendencies. We presum the parents of the mob of twenty-flv kids who of late have been Imitutin the boor-drinking crowd hy demam ing treats on the charivari plan , kno\ or can llnd out whether their boy participated in such disturbances This being the case , It is plainly th parents' duty to use effective mean to keep their boys out of such affairs or If they neglect or confess tholr h ability to restrain the boys from con mlttlng lawless acts , rest assure that the state will take charge , This Is not the trivial matter that Borne people seem to think It Is , Let us look nto the matter a little. A boy was out to the reform school from this lace for attempting to extort money nder threat of killing or kidnapping child , In Imitation of Pal Crowe , 'ho heor-drlnklng charivari crowd at- empta to extort money under the iroat of mob violence , and they are ow Imitated hy th.o kids. Stealing few dollars Is not counted us had s grand larceny , but It Is stealing. Oxlortlug money under threat of a harlvarl la not counted us bud as xtortlng money hy threat of murder , ut both are criminal acts of the Hume lass. Are the parents and luw-abld- ng citizens going to permit this thing o go on and encourage It by their llont consent ? If so we had better et up a petition to have the Dillon ioy releasd from the reform school t onco. The charivari nuisance cnn eon ho done away with at this place f the law-abiding citizens and pro- ossed cbrlstluns will persistently ml unlllnchingly condemn and ills- ourage the practice , causing arrests o bo iiiado when it seems necessary. I'ho Sentinel has little faith In the irofcsslons of good citizenship or Christianity on the part of any one vim encourages these lawless acts > f the mob , or Is willing to allow thorn o continue. 'I'ho place to commence he suppression IH with the overgrown loodlum and the beer-drinking crowd. I'ho kids would soon see that this s not the Innocent amusement that t now seems to them.

It Is the domain ! for treats mil the threat or actual doing of mob violence thut is an Insult and outrage o peuooublo cltl/.ons and a lawless let that must ho punished and sup- irossed before a community can rightly lay claim to being civill/.etl.

Three full days of the fairest weather under the sun have graceil Norfolk this week and the barometer says It may continue for another ris ing of the sun , if all goes well. Al though it is late in the autumnal month of October and although dur ing many such seasons snow chooses to full upon this Nebraska land long before this , the temperature stands almost as high as it does at times in the dead of summer and those so In cliued are getting out their fishing rods , tholr canoes and their tennis racquets for further s port out o doors before the season ends. Yesterday was u day of grand , gilt torlng , glowing minutes from the time you woke up in the morning with the sun until as late as you hap pencil to retire lust night. It was a continuous stretcl' < > f superb beaut } In the weather line which put every body to the good and made the whole world , so far us it went , fool that life might be one long , lingering , delight light fill dream after all that it was Indeed , at least worth the living.

I THE OLD RELIABLE POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS SUBSTITUTE V That Much Material Will Go Into the Building1. HAULING AMOUNTS .TO $20,000. But for all of That , Some People Fall to See Just Where the Contractors Could Spend $83.000 The Cornice Stones Begin to Edge. The cornice stones on the north wall of the United States courthouse building began to edge the top of the bricks this morning. From now on the brick work will begin to bo burled and the magnificent grantto will stand out in an imposing manner over all. The brick on the second and third stories of the structure have , until now , boon the most conspicuous portion tion of the whole picture , but they will now gradually sink into a subor dinate position. 200 Carloads of Freight. "It Is bard to see just whore 200 carloads of freight xlll bo burled in that building , " said Superintendent Williams , "but that Is just about what the whole structure will contain when it is completed. " And every carlond of freight will average a rate of $100 for transpor tation , so that ensily $20,000 of the government's appropriation will go to the railroads for hauling Norfolk's courthouse from the quarries and the Iron centers to its final sito. It is thought that the roof will bo reached within a few more weeks and then will como the wiring for lights , the contract for which was only last week let to a Chicago firm. No better building weather in the world could bo imagined than that by which the contractors have been favored during the past week. It is clear and open so that the laborers are always at it and it is not so warm that the brick and stone have to be constantly kept cool. Doesn't See Where Money Is. "I don't see wliero the money is in a building like that. " said a banker from a neighboring' town yesterday. "Now I don't object to letting the contractors make a reasonable profit say half but when they get $83- 000 for a building like that , it looks bad. I'm very sure I could put it up for $50,000. " Superintendent Williams is now trying to locate the man so that bo can sublet the job. Ho is confident that by the time the stranger had reached the roof ho would bo borrow ing from his neighbors hi great wads to help complete the job. Not a few persons have looked upon .the rod wnlls of the second and third stories with disfavor. "Why didn't they make It all granite .or all stone ? " they ask. Hut it is anticipat ed that these same , when the cornice stones are set and the roof in restIng - Ing in Its place , will see nothing In the red brick but a bit of trimming , and will bo mighty glad it's there for the sake of harmony. Wiring Corfract Is Let. There will be $1,497 worth of elec tric light wires netted throughout the United States court house In this city. That Is the sum which will bo paid to the contractors , Cuthbert & Black of Chicago , for the work. The contract was let to them Fri day according to a dispatch from Washington. The work must bo fin ished by December I0. ! It is expect ed from this that the company will arrive very soon to take up the work and to begin wiring the structure. This provides for electric light wires through the building and In cluding the two entrances. A Wretched Millionaire. The story Is told of the owner of several railroads who was unable to buy relief from the nerve-twisting agony of neuralgia.

The success of Dr. Caldwell Is at tributed to her special study of spec ialism. Dr. Caldwell , student , philan thropist and physician of wide repu tation , having given her entire time and practice to a line of specif , dis eases , which enables her irom long experience in handling these troubles to certainly come forward as a master specialist. Her faculty for mastering disease , her ability to diagnose , and her plan of treatment is excelled by few other physicians. Dr. Caldwell , although a young woman in life , a plain woman , and one who is used to the ups and downs in life , puts her self on a level with her patients and does not pretend to practice the old plan of fashion , which is to look wise and say nothing. She knows disease , and the spot where located , and most of all she knows from experience , from what she has done in the past , she can certainly do for others in the future. It is said by Dr. Cahlwell's friends that she can diagnose a dis ease of any patient without asking them a single question , that being the case , she is not likely to doctor them for a wrong ailment ; she will not take an incurable case and lead the patient to believe that she can cure them when there is really no hope for them. Her business Is large and she has plenty to do , oven , at times , more than she can do , without taking incurable diseases and deceiving her patients. Dr. Caldwell is a graduate from ono of the best schools in Amer ica. She has practiced her profession in some of the principal hospitals * of this country. Her specialty comprises that class of diseases which the or dinary homo doctor fails to cure , such as female diseases , heart diseases , diseases of children and the many specie ) 'Mseases of hidden nature. Her practice Is mostly among the plain , hard working people who are unable to como to her city office for treatment ; she is reasonable in her charges and very lenient with those who are not able to pay. She is char itable , and it Is said has never known to refuse to treat a patient who is worthy and in need. A number of tha important cases that wo hereby take the liberty to publish , which "might bo of interest to some who wish to know more of Dr. Caldwell'a great work Sophia Itran , Albion , Neb. , cured of a bad skin disease.
