With practi cally no ceremony City Engineer Lewis and his assistant , George Y. Skeels , and Contractor 13. O. Wes ley changed the map of the stock yards district. They took the Floyd river by the neck , yanked It out of the bed where It has reclined for per haps several centuries , and shoved It Into a brand new couch , fashioned with loving care by an army of work men , who have In sixty days accom plished the feat. The Floyd made no objection to the change. It did not groan or kicker or howl over the transfer ; It took to its new bed like a duck to water and purred contentedly as It stretched out full length In Its narrow confines. True , It got Us back up temporarily because of the damming It got near the old Chambers street bridge , but It soon forgot this brief display of profanity , gave a sigh of relief as Jt rippled merrily into the ditch to the southward and entered the old bayou , which It abandoned years ago. Just two months ago ISrlc O. Wes ley stood up in the council chamber and asked the aldermen to hurry up and clear away the * details giving him the contract. " "I've got a gang 01 men all ready , said ho , "and most of my material on the ground ready to start. Say thu word and we'll begin tomorrow morn ing. " The council said the word and since the morning of September 1 Mr. Wesley has been hustling. Ho has directed the operation of about sixty men , looked carefully Into de tails and arranged things so that as fast as one piece of the work was done another part was ready for the men to commence. Ho has dove tailed the work and made great prog ress and scarce as labor has been or at least as it Is reported to have been , Mr. Wesley has had practically no trouble on that score. For some time the contractor has had to work in frozen ground , but so determined was ho that the river should begin its pilgrimage through the now channel that ho put eight horses to a plow and kept on exca vating. He widened the channel its full width dcrwn about two thirds of the depth required In the specifica tion and then dug a ditch six feet wide and four feet deep , with a fall sufllclent to carry off the water from the Floyd after It had boon dammed. The bottom of this four foot ditch , however , it is about three foot above the depth the channel will be when completed. With the water flowing the contractor figures it will carry uwuy ii KUm tiuiu MI uiu muua UL uiu ditch , although It Is not likely to deepen It much. While the men wore busy trim ming up the bank where the dump cars have boon in operation for the past sixty days , a man with a tamp ing stick was busy with the big clay bank or bluff opposite. Ho pounded home big sticks of dynamite and about every half hour a muflled ex plosion and a spurt of yellow dust told how the blasting export was mak ing headway with the frozen earth. Tons of earth were blown loose and today workmen will begin hauling It Into the bayou east of the dyke , where the now road will bo estab lished. Loses Her Breach of Promise Suit. Fremont , Neb. , Doc. 3. Judge Hoi- lenbeck made a ruling In the breach of promise suit of Marie Barge against Dr. George Haslam for $10,000 which practically decides the case In favor of the defendant. The suit as originally brought was based on an alleged promise passed by the de fendant to the plaintiff in July , 1901. Miss Barge obtained a partial Judg ment , but the supreme court reversed the case. On Its coming up at this term of district court , the plaintiff's counsel sought to have the' petition amended so as to specify a promise given in April , 1903. It was held that to make this change would bo equiv alent to bringing a different cause of action , and the motion to amend the petition was overruled. The only re course left for the plaintiff Is another proceeding In error before the supreme premo court , with only small hope of success.

Claim ed to be Due Under the Act Pro viding for a Bounty on Sugar. Lincoln , Doc. 3. The Star of last evening gave further particulars of the case brought by the Norfolk Hoot Sugar company and the Oxnard licet Sugar company against the state as follows : Under authority of a resolution passed by the last legislature permit ting the Norfolk Boot Sugar company and the Oxnard licet Sugar company to sue the state , the two companies have filed their petitions In the dis trict court of Lancaster county , ask ing for Judgments aggregating moro than $ ' 10,000 , claimed to bo duo under the act of the legislature providing for a bounty on sugar produced in the stato. The petitions sot fortli the claims In detail , the Norfolk company asking for $21,750 and Interest as one claim and $5,010 as another ; and the Oxnard company asking for $15,871.85 and interest. The suit Is brought through the fail ure of the state to pay warrants Is sued on account of the bounties claim ed under the law of 1895 , providing that a bounty of live-eighths of one cent should bo paid on every pound of sugar produced from beets In the state of Nebraska , the sugar to bo 90 per cent crystallized sugar and the boots to 1)0 ) raised In the state of Nebraska and purchased at a cost of $5 per ton. The fund out of which the bounties were to bo paid was de pleted and the companies had no way to recover. At the last session of the legisla ture a bill was Introduced providing for the payment of the bounties but the boot growers "sidetracked" the measure and a resolution was passed authorizing the companies to sue the state In the district court of Lancas ter county. Authorized by tills reso lution , the suits hnvo boon Instituted. Describe the Industry. The petitions relate the Introduc tion of the boot sugar industry into the state and states that the com panies erected their factories at great expense relying upon ho act of the legislature passed In March , 1899 , which provided for a bounty of 1 cent every pound of sugar produced from sugar boots in the state. The Nor folk company declares that It expend ed $500,000 for an outfit to begin the creation of a boot sugar industry but that the law under which they ex pected to secure their bounties was repealed In March , 1901. The new law was passed in 1895 and It Is un der the provisions of this act that they make their claims. The petition of the Norfolk com pany shows that in the year 1895 that company produced -1,991,000 pounds of sugar of the variety specified In the act of the legislature and that the product withstood all the tests of the inspectors. It claims to have purchased 27,283 tons of boots from the farmers of the state and to have paid $5 a ton , making a total of$130- 115 paid out for the raw product. Paid Too Much. It Is also claimed that the market value of the boots at that time was only $ t a ton , but the higher price was paid iu order that the boot might bo bought of Nebraska raisers , and as a result of this fact the com pany lost $27,283. The contention of the Oxnard com pany Is the same as that of the Nor folk Institution , the matter of figures being the only difference. Both peti tions are signed by Chas. F. Marnier- son a ? attorney. Dead In Creek. Lincoln , Doc. 3. The body of Jas. McClovo was found frozen In the Ice of Salt Crook nortli of Lincoln. Wm.

SPECIALIST OFREPUTATION , _ Years of Special Practice Affording ' Excellent Opportunities. < FACTS WORTH MENTIONING By Dr. Caldwcll. Several years ago while In private practice. I thought It wrong to adver tise , simply because I had been told m > and had not had experience enough to know bettor. After a whllo I din- covered a valuable plan of treatment In certain cases , and fortunately ob tained a largo number of patients , enough to fully test my plan ami prove Its success , I thereupon prepared - pared u lengthy paper upon the sub ject and road It bof < ro the state med ical society. What was the result ? A half a dozen members took the lioor to say what the treatment had lioon for a hundred yearn hack , and to claim that the old treatment , though miHiiccossfuI , should bo con tinued , notwithstanding that the now treatment had boon successful. 1 thought differently and continued to use the now method , and made re- markahlo cures of cases that had l)0on pronounced Incurable. My bus iness Increased rapidly as each per son that 1 cured told some friend , who eaino In turn and was cured. ICach patient advertised mo a little. What then ? In that largo city there wore not moro than -100 cases of the kind. I cured every case that came to me and then had nothing to do except the ordinary business of a local physician. I know there wore hundreds and thousands of others elsewhere , who might bo cured If they only know ; and I advertised. Cured hundreds of others and I have advertised over since. I have re lieved moro suffering , cured moro pa tients , made moro people happy , and done moro good generally because I have told the people what 1 can do , and I shall go on with the good work as long as my strength will permit. I advertise because I have some thing worth advertising. 1 have made myself competent by years of spec ial study and experience , and by the expenditure of largo sums of money. By advertising I place before the people ple the facts which enable thorn to liiunv what I can do. I thereby roan'1 thousands , who , given up by local physicians or nnsncccssfiily treated , give thcmsoves up as incurable. 1 euro thorn and thereby enlarge my Held of usefulness. By no other way than advertising could these people have known that they could bo cured. Hvory thrifty and prosperous busi ness In life , save those of law and medicine , advertise freoly. Lawyers do not , for they only use In business what others have made for thorn years before. They only do what has been written. "Regular" doctors do not advertise for the same reason. Tliov luvvn tintlilntr now. notblnir which someone else has not written or told thorn of , they got their know ledge from the books. A man may read medicine until ho is blind and then know nothing of It. To bo suc cessful bo must apply his own mind. Make his own researches , and to do that bo must have room anil oppor tunity. Ho must have cases , hun dreds of them , and compare results. If ho docs not do this ho Is a ma chine without novelty , skill or In genuity , still plowing with a wooden plow , still tra'voling on foot or horse back , and Ignoring the advantages of steam , living but not learning. The same is true of a lady doctor. Below you will find published the nml [ uldresHnH of some of the recent cures that I have mado. These people's afflictions wore , under the ordinary physician's care , considered hopeless , and no prospects for a euro : Mrs. Kate Schall of Albion , Nob. , cured of catarrh of head and stomach. Mrs. William Zuerg of Blue Vale , Nob. , cured of nervous heart and female disease. Mrs. J. B. Connelloy of Akron , Nob. , cured of cancer of long stand ing Mrs. Augusta Soydon of Ponder , Nob. , cured of nervous liver and stomach disease.
