HE SHOULD SUPPORT WATSON Not Necessary for a Man of Principle to Lose. Hla Party The Populist Ticket Has the Right Spirit Lame Argument. Ex-Senator Win. V. Allen of Madi son , In a communication to the Lin coln Independent gives the following criticism of Mr. Bryan for supporting the Parker-Davis ticket : The declaration of the Hon. Wil liam J. Bryan that ho "shall vote for Parker and Davis , the nominees of the democratic national convention , " will disappoint thousands of his friends and followers. The first reason is not well taken , ras Imperialism has become the fixed policy of this nation under many acts of congress and the decisions of the supreme court. It can not be changed without changing the personnel of the presidency , of each branch of congress - gross and the majority of the supreme court , and this can not be done by the election of Judge Parker. To accomplish these reforms and to adopt a domestic policy , which the fathers of the republic said was the only true and safe policy , will require the repeal of many acts of congress and the overruling of DeLlma against BIdwell , 182 United States 1 ; the Diamond rings , 183 United States , 244 , and other recent decisions of the supreme court. These can not be ac complished by the election of Judge Parker. Mr. Bryan has no sufficient cause for believing that the second reason Is well taken , as Judge Parker has made no declaration on the race prob lem and It Is not certain that the race question Is not to become a na tional Issue. In fact , the rapid In crease of the'negroes and the endless tide of Immigration from undesirable sources are forcing the race problem on the attention of the people of the United States whether they would have it injected into national politics or not. The third reason given by Mr. Bryan - , , , an for his intention to vote for Judge * Parker , viz. , that Mr. Roosevelt stands for the spirit of war , might be well taken If there were but two candidates - didates Roosevelt and Parker In the field. But this can be avoided by voting for Mr. Watson. But there Is really no reason to believe that If Judge Parker were elected he would puruse a different policy. He has made no declaration on the subject and there Is no reason to think that , coming from New York , where the spirit of imperialism is rife and has Its habitation , there Is any likelihood of his adopting a policy different from that of Mr. Roosevelt. The fourth reason given by Mr. Bry- nn for his intention to vote for Judge Parker , viz. , that the democratic plat form advocates a reduction of the standing army , Is inadmissible. While the standing army Is larger than it was at the beginning of the Spanish- American war , It Is not too large for a nation of our proportions and Im portance and as a nucleus for a larg er army would have to be many times larger than It Is now to be a menace to the liberty of the people. Mr. Bryan's statement that nothing good can be expected of Judge Par ker on the money question , or In the way of economical reform , furnishes a sufficient reason for his rejecting the judge's candidacy and adopting that of Mr. Watson. If Judge Parker was disqualified when Mr. Bryan made a speech In New York against his nomination , he has not become competent by having his candidacy ratified by the St. Louis convention. For eight years the populists of the United States have been foremost In upholding Mr. Bryan , and have twice given him their support for the presi dency , and they did so strictly on the ground that his views on the money question were substantially populist- Ic and with the full belief that If he became president he would Insist on measures and policies that would bring relief to the country. I think I am safe In saying that If the popu lists had known that there were no circumstances under which Mr. Bryan would sever his relation with the democratic party he would not have received their support ; or If they hat believed that his advocacy of monetary tary reformation and a change o : general commercial policies were sub ordlnated to his loyalty to the demo cratlc party they would not have voted ed for him. Confer Over Road. Commissioners Schmidt and Finno gan arrived In the city from Madison this morning and this afternoon In company with Commissioner Smith met the commissioners of Stanton county nt Ous Wegener's place for the purpose of Investigating the proposi tion to relieve the road between Stanton - ton and Madison counties of a sur plus of water. It seems that the out let to the drainage ditches Is not deep enough to allow the water to escape , and the result Is that the Hood hacks up for a mile and a half after each rain. It Is estimated that It will cost $200 to relieve the situation and If the people whose lands are overflowed show the proper spirit It Is probable that the two counties will contribute their share. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING FIN ISHED TO ROOF. TWO COTTAGES UNDER WAY The Third of the Cottages Has Reach ed the Foundation Red Pressed Brick Is Being Used , With Old Brick Under Cover. Nebraska's new hospital for the In sane , now being built on the state property north of Norfolk , Is prog ressing as rapidly as possible and there Is every Indication that the structure will be finished the first of October and that they will be hand some structures throughout at that. There are four buildings In course of construction the administration building and throe cottages. The In stitution Is built on the cottage plan , and Is the first of that type to be es tablished in the west anywhere. The butldlncs are all of red brick. faced with pressed brick and capped with marble. The result Is an espec ially pleasing effect and the whole picture , taken together , Is imposing to a degree. The four buildings occupy a line running east and west and In about the same position as did the old main building which was destroyed > y fire. The first one to be approach ed from the main entrance to the grounds , is the administration build- ug. Directly east of this lie the three cottages. The administration building Is far thest advanced. This has been fin- shed up to the roof , both stories liav- ng been built. All of the buildings are two stories high. The main build- ng has a large bay window on the south side , and Is filled with spacious mils and officers' apartments. Two of the cottages are well on their way toward the finishing of the second story and the third has been milt up to the foundation. Brick from the building which was burned , Is used on the Inside portions of the work where It will not be ap parent to view. The marble Is ar riving constantly for the finishing features , each piece being marked for Its own special spot In the build ing. The work Is being done by the Capital Brick company. A half hun dred employes live in the old chapel and the old kitchen and laundry at the institution , so that they will be handy at their laboring place. The cost of the institution is $100- 000 , which was appropriated by the state of Nebraska at the last session of the legislature. In order to replace the buildings destroyed In the big fire. It is the only state institution In the northern half of Nebraska and Is a source of considerable pride to Nor folk and all other cities In this sec tion , each of which was a strong fac tor In the fight of replacing It. WORK NEEDED. Civic Pride Should Dictate a General Cleaning Up. Civic pride should appeal to the people of Norfolk to have the city In especially presentable shape this sum mer , and especially when there are to be numerous visitors here to at tend the state firemen's tournament next month. In portions of the city the weeds have been given full sway during the spring and summer , not only on residence lots , but on the parks and sides of the street In front of the parks , and they should re ceive attention at once. Some of the most unsightly patches are on or ad Joining the property of citizens who can well afford to hire them removed or those who have plenty of time to remove them by their own labor anc they would be benefited by the ex erclse. They should be attended teat at once and the city in business am residence districts should present a well kept appearance at the earliest possible date. There Is but a week remaining In which to give the clt > a carefully groomed look to the fire men and other visitors during Ihe tournament. ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDI NANCE IS PASSED.

The rush yesterday ami today was not particularly heavy. A number of empty coaches were taken up to bring passengers who were In Bone- steel , back. NON ARRIVAL DISAPPOINTING Failure of Grafters to Arrive Spoils a Little Excitement. The failure of Bonesteel grafters to leave that town on the special train at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon , caused some disappointment to curi ous ones who had expected to see the fellows walk In. The first Intimation that there would not be an Influx ol the gang Into this city at 8 last night was a telegram received at 5 o'clock which told the story. "You may rest assured , " said Chief of Police Kane , "that those fellows will not leave Bonesteel in a bunch They will leave In a gradual way , one or two nt a time. The reason for that Is that there Is too much money upon their heads and they well know that if they were to get Into a bunch they could be gobbled up. " "You may say , too , " said the chief "that Norfolk will not be bothered with these fellows during the fire men's tournament. We have plans for the purpose of coping with the gang , and we are prepared to drive them out. We got pickpockets here enrouto and we will get these. We will have no trouble whatever , for the crooks steer shy of Norfolk , any way. " It Is anticipated that a few of them IIIM > dnip on1 bore on their way liiu'li ami try to "work" but ample po lice protection IIIIH been arranucd. There will bo no KUiuhlliig at the Itroiiiou'H tournament. FAINTING BERTHA OUT OF JAIL An Item of Interest to Those Who At tended the G , A , R. Reunion at Pierce.

Not that every physician can be a specialist , nor would It be justifiable in every doctor becoming one , but there are advantages that can bo de rived only by a special practice which Is applicable to certain communities oven though the physician himself Is not a bona fide resident of that 1m- rnedlte vicinity. Small towns and the country are the principal communities In which a specialist could scarcely prosper , but as practiced by some specialists , that of going from one city to another , making his visits and seeing his patients at regular ap pointed Intervals , one can derive ad vantages far superior to those re ceived In many Instances by a visit to the cities. We cite , for instance , that of Dr. Caldwell , a specialist of Chicago , who out term of court would adjourn , and when Hhe could be tried.

The Practice of Medicine Becoming Specialized The Physicians of the Large Cities the First to Adopt it and There are Now Many Throughout the Country. Is and has been making regular visIts - Its to our community for the last two years. Dr. Caldwell came well rec ommended and has succeeded In es tablishing a practice far beyond her expectations. She has made many cures and has succeeded In building up a reputation and practice among those whom she has cured that would he hard to get away from her. Dr. Caldwell Is a lady from the new school. Her experience and training have been gained by many years of practice and the treatment of a vast number of cases. She confines her self to the treatment of chronic , lin gering and deep seated ailments. She pretends to cure only such diseases as she has had sufficient experience In handling , and does not go Into that class of Incurable diseases which In many cases are useless to bother with As a result of long experience , Dr. Caldwell Is thoroughly familiar with her specialties. In the treatment of cancer , consumption , heart disease , nervousness and female diseases , there are very few specialists better qualified than Dr. Caldwell. Some of her cures seem almost like miracles. People from far and near consult her as she makes these regular visits and she Is always busy from the time she arrives until the time of her depar ture. It Is claimed by Dr. Caldwell's friends that she can diagnose a dis ease without a question. This being the case , she Is not likely to doctor her patient for the wrong ailment , which Is many times done by phyal- clans of Inexperience. Dr. Caldwell does not treat typhoid fever , whoop ing cough , measles , and those acuta diseases which the local home phyal- clan Is called upon to treat. It la nether her desire to antagonize nor to take from the homo physician that part of the business which really belongs to him. Many times Dr. Caldwell la in consultation with the homo physician and the kindest of feelings should exist between them. Dr. Caldwell Is charitable. In many Instances where people are devoid of funds to pay for their services aha charges In such cases for the medi cine only and no person , no matter how humble , has she ever turned away without seeking to give them relief. By permission we are pleased to publish a few of the cures she baa made throughout the state of Nebras ka : Mrs. Oscar L.ange , Tekamah , Neb. , cured of stomach trouble and femala trouble of long standing. Mrs. Maloney , West Humphrey , Neb. , cured of nervous trouble , kidt- ney and liver trouble , and femala weakness.
