Hundreds of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, rebtlessness, languor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery all comes from the bad state of
their blood. They take one thing for
their head, another for their stomach,
ft third for their nerves, and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
Is the cause of their discomfort.
If one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear, as
they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.
Stoue, who had been ailing for years and
was completely run down before she re
alized the uatiire of her trouble.
"For several years," said Mrs. Stone,
"I suffered from general debility. It

WORK THIS WEEK!
ELECTORAL VOTE WILL BE CAN
VASSED WEDNESDAY.
VOTE ON THE STATEHOOD BILL
All Amendments and Measure Itself
to Be Disposed of at Once Rail
road Rate Legislation Has the
Right of Way in House.
WASHINGTON The senate has
laid out an extended program for it
self this week. According to this
plan Monday and Tuesday will be
given over almost entirely to the
statehood bill. Wednesday the sen
ate will proceed to the hall of repre
sentatives and assist in canvassing
the electoral vote. On Monday the
statehood bills will be displaced tem
porarily to permit the managers of
the Swayne impeachment trial to
present the replication of the house
of representatives to Judge Swayne's
answer in the proceedings against
him, but it is not expected that they
will consume much time. Appropria
tion bills will occupy the balance ot
the time during the week.
The republican steering committee
has decided that th pme food bill
shall become the unfinished business
after the disposal of the sta'eiu'ou
bill, but it is not believed that much
if any time will be found tills week
for its consideration.
The agricultural appropriation is
now under consideration and will con
tinue to Le discussed as opportunity
offers and it is expected that by the
time it is out of the way the District
of Columbia and the Indian bills will
be ready for consideration. With the
statehood bill out of the way, the pol
icy will be to press the supply bills
persistently and nothing but the
Swayne trial will he permitted to
stand in their way.
In accordance with the unanimous
agreement reached the statehood bill
anu all amendments offered to it will
be voted on before adjournment on
Tuesday.
The contest over some of the
amendments to the bill will be sharp
and may continue the suasion into
the night.
Railroad rate legislation is to have
the right of way in the house of rep
iesentatives during Monday and Tues
day and Wednesday. The rule mak
ing the bill giving the Interstate Com
merce commission power to fix rates
a special order during sessions which
are to begin an ..our earlier than
usual on Tuesday and Wednesday will
be the subject of lively debate on
Monday. Opposition to the bill which
has been agreed on by the republi
cans on the committee of interstate
commerce will be voiced in the de
bate on this rule. This opposition
may come from the minority devel
oped in the republican conference
Friday, as well as from the democrats
of the house. If the two should unite
to defeat the rule those who have
counted noses say this could be ac
complished. Should the rule be
adopted, as is the belief of the ma
jority leaders, there will be no oppor
tunity to amend the bill. The demo
crats will be given an opportunity
to show their strength on the Davy
bill to be offered as a substitute for
the Esch-Townsend bill, when the
time comes to vote on that measure
at 4 o'clock Wednesday. The discus
sion will be interrupted on Wednes
day to permit the two houses of con
gress to assemble in the hall of the
house and count the electoral vote
for president and vice president.
NEBRASKA MINISTER DIES.
Rev. C. E. Bentley Passes Away at
Los Anodes.
LOS ANGELES. Cal Immediately
after enting a room in a cheaz lodg
ing house with a young woman heav
ily veiled, Rev. C. E. Bentley of Lin
coln. Neb., dropped dead in this city
Sunday night. His companion at
tempted to restore him. but. seeing he
was dying, lied. Detectives have been
unable to find her. An autopsy re
vealed symptoms of heart trouble.
Rev. Bentley and his wife had been
here four days. He was candidate
for president on the silver prohibition
ticket in 1S96. and has been promi
nent in temperance work in Iowa and
Nebraska.
The woman with whom he entered
the lodging house and asked for a
room was about 30 years old and hand
some. BentJey's widow says her hus
band was innocent of wrong. She
says he has been afflicted with heart
disease for months. An inquest will
be held and the widow will take the
body to Lincoln for burial. The po
lice do not suspect murder, but are
scouring the city for trace of the
woman.

At a meeting of executive officers the

the gulf lines from having a differen
tial or lower rate by more than three
cents. It was decided that no further
cuts should he made to the Atlantic
ports until after the meeting at St.
Louis.
Must Watch the North Sea.
LONDON A speech delivered in
the Hampshire village of Eastleigh
Thursday evening by Arthur Hamilton
Lee. civil lord of the admiralty, has
created excitement. In dealing with
the recent redistribution of Great Brit
ain's naval forces. Mr. Lee frankly
declared that Great Britain had not so
much to keep hr eyes on France and
the Mediterranean, but bad to look
with anxiety, though not with fear,
towards the North sea and the lleets
had been so distributed as to enable
them to do this.
Assaults the Detective.
SAN FRANCISCO A special dis
patch from Sacramento the Call says:
State Senator Frank French, who
stands accused, with three of his col
leagues, of bribery, has made an as
sault on Detective George N. Tich
enor, employed by the prosecution.
French accosted Tichenor on the up
per floor of the capitol rotunda and
without a word rushed at the detect
ive and sent him reeling with a blow
over the right eye. Bystanders inter
fered at this juncture and prevented
further trouble.
THAT BEEF TRUST.
No Evasion cf Decision Relative
Thereto.
WASHINGTON It can be said by
authority th.it unless the corporations
constituting the alleged "beef trust"
shall heed the injunction made per
manent by the decision of the su
preme court of the United States, the
government will institute proceedings
against the individual members of the
corporations to enforce the decision
of the court.
The proceedings will be under the
criminal law, if such can be instituted.
The minds of the president and mem
bers of his cabinet are made up fully
on the question. They have deter
mined that the "beef trust" shall obey
the law. and now that the highest
court in the land has upheld the
hands of the administration, it is
said they will permit no further
"dilly-dallying" with the subject.
At Tuesday's cabinet meeting the
president and Attorney General
Moody shared in the congratulations
of the members of the cabinet on the
result of the' "beef trust" cases be
fore the supreme court.
The president, who made no at
tempt to conceal his satisfaction at
the decision of the court, united with
the members of the cabinet in con
gratulating the ;'tomvy general. The
subject was consider, d briefly at the
meeting, but no definite conclusion
was reached as to what action, if
any, the government would take in
the future, except the general deter
mination to enforce the law as it has
been construed by the courts. The
president and the members of the cab
inet regard the decision of the su
preme court as a signal triumph of
law as they have viewed R. and are
prepared to carry it into effect abso
lutely. All the members of the cabinet
were present at the meeting except
Secretaries Hay and Wilson, the for
mer still being confined to his home
by a severe cold.
Again, the president emphasized
his interest in the arbitration treaties
pending before the senate. He holds
that the opponents of the treaties are
proceeding on wrong premises in
maintaining that they may be used
by foreign countries as a basis for ac
tion against certain of the southern
states in the collection of old claims.
Some departmental matters were
considered at the meeting, the most
important of which was the action of
Postmaster General Wynne in notify
ing John G. Capers, republican na
tional committeeman of South Caro
lina, that postmasters in that state
will be dirmissed from the service if,
in the future, they pay the expenses
of delegates to political conventions.
The action of the postmaster general
was approved by the president and
the cabinet. In principle the declara
tion of Mr. Wynne will apply to all
other states where such methods are
practiced.
FAILS TO FIT CASE.
House Bill on Railroad Rates Thought
To Br Faulty.
WASHINGTON Congressman Hin
shaw called at the white house to con
fer with President Roosevelt on mat
ters pertaining to the Fourth Nebras
ka district and also to measures pend
ing In. fere the house relating to sub
jects if legislat'on of paramount pub
lic interest. Incidentally, the talk turn
ed upon the bill which Mr. Townsend
introduced in the house January 31.
providing for additional powers to be
vested in the interstate commerce
commission. Mr. Hinshaw expressed
the opinion that while the Townsend
bill would meet the public demand for
a better regulation of railroads rates,
it does not go far enough, and since
that bill will be considered by the
house within a few days, Mr. Hinshaw
desired to learn whether its provisions
would be satisfactory to the adminis
tration. The president, however, did
not express approval or disapproval of
the Townsend bill, but Mr. Hinshaw
left the white house with the impres
sion that the president would like to
the present session enact a law em
powering the interstate commerce
commission to fix rates, to prevent
discrimination between shippers, to
abolish private ear lines, and to give
the commission authority to enforce
its decrees.
Mr. Hinshaw is of opinion that
nothing short of such legislation
would satisfy his constituents, but he
is not at all sanguine that the senate
would pass such a bill while it is not
vet settled that the house will do so.

Nobility with the People.
MOSCOW At a private meeting of

GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR
TERS The Russian attempt to turn
General Oku's left flank has proved a
complete failure. Following on the
failure of the recent cavalry raid
down the railway this, it is thought
by the Japanese, will probably induce
the Russians to await in the future
Japanese attacks. The attempt, even
with the bombardment of other por
tions of the line or a cavalry move
ment around the flank, was doomed
to failure from the start. The Ja
panese were at Heikoutal, but with
drew its small force from there and
allowed the Russians to occupy the
positions until they could move over
enough men to make its recapture
certain.
The reoccupation of this position
was easily accomplished, although
the loss was heavy. The casualties
have not yet been reported, but it is
believed that they will amount to
fully 3,000.
The Russians had five divisions en
gaged at Heikoutai and in that direc
tion. They were driven back by less
than two Japanese divisions.
Over 100.000 men were engaged in
the Russian demonstration against
the Japanese positions immediately
east of Heikoutai, a force strong
enough to have been successful, as
but one Japanese division was sent
against them. The Russian loss is
estimated at over 4,000, although
prisoners say that one regiment was
practically annihilated. The Japan
ese loss is placed at only 200, due to
the fact that they remained in their
trenches while the Russians were
forced to cross open ground, solidly
frozen, where the construction of
shelter trenches was impossible. The
ground being covered with snow, was
naturally a great disadvantage to the
attacking lorce, as it was plainly
visible against the white back
ground for a long distance. The Ja
panese suffered the same disadvan
tages in the recapture of Heikoutai.
The weather was very cold during
the fighting, the minimum being 6
degrees below zero, and the maxi
mum 14 degrees above zero. The
Russians did not retreat north, but
retired, well out of range, with no
sign of further activity.
ST. PETERSBURG The emperor
has received the following dispatch
from General Kuropatkin:
The Japanese during the night of
January 31 attacked Djantanchenan,
on the left bank of the Hun river, op
posite Changtan. They captured the
village, but subsequently were driven
out with great loss. . The Russian
casualties were 100.
MEANS MUCH FOR OMAHA.
Proposition to Make It General Dis
tributing Point for Supplies.
WASHINGTON There is pending
in the war office a proposition to raise
Omaha to the importance of a general
distributing point for quartermaster's
supplies. It is now the distributing
station for army supplies destined to
military posts within the department
of the Missouri. The recent comple
tion of the new addition to the quar
termaster's supply depot warehouse in
Omaha has provided ample space foi
the Handling of a much larger ton
nage. It is understood that tiiere are
but three general supply depots in
the United States, viz.. New York, San
Francisco and Jelfersonville. Ind.. the
latter station having been established
during the civil war and maintained
largely because of tradition. The de
velopment of the west in the matter
of transportation facilities has given
rise to a demand for a general supply
station in the mid-west. Omaha's
claims to this n?w distinction have
been advocated by Senator Millard,
who recently took the matter up with
General C. F. Humphrey, quartermas
ter general of the army. General
Humphrey was for a long time sta
tioned at Omaha as chief quartermas
ter of the department of the Platte
and is personally conversant with the
situation, as he is. of course, with the
needs of the service in every part of
the United States. Senator Millard
feels confident that he will have the
good will of General Humphrey in the
effort to enhance the importance of
Omaha as a supply station. Success
in this matter would, of course, en
able the wholesale merchants and
manufacturers of Nebraska to bid on
a variety of army supplies for use
throughout the United States and the
Philippines, and no doubt they would
receive large contracts. It is possible
that an act of congress may be neces
sary to bring this about, but Senator
Millard is in hopes that it can be
done by order of the secretary of war.

and creating a "court of transporta

of the Esch-Townsend measures, with
amendments taken from the Hepburn
hill. This action was reached after

Indian Serpent Worship.
Serpent worship still survives in
India and a good snake shrine is said
to be as mch an attraction in a
house on the Malabar coast as a gar
den is in the case of a country home

however, most unobtrusive and un
less one walks noiseless and bare
footed in the dark, as Hindoos do,

Kidneys and that means healthy
people. What Mr. and Mrs. J. U
Duffey say:
Nora, Ind.. Feb. 6th. (Special)
That the sure way of building up
run-down men and women is to put
their kidneys in good working order is
shown by the experience of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph L. Duffey of this place.
Both were weak and worn and dis
spirited. They used Dodd's Kidney
Pills and to-day both enjoy the best
of health.
Mr. Duffey says: "I was very weak
and almost past going. I tried every
thing which people said was good but
got no benefit till I tried Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They helped me in every
way and I am strong and well now."
Mrs. Duffey says: "I was so bad
that if anybody would lay down a
string I felt I could not step over it.
Since taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I
can run and jump fences."

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.
A great deal depends on the point of
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
"For many years I was a great suf
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that I found I could not lie
down, but walked the floor whilst oth
ers slept. I got so nervous I could not
rest anywhere.
"Specialists told me I must give up
the use of coffee the main thing that
I always thought gave me some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fiend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their ad
vice. Coffee had such a charm for me
that in passing a restaurant and get
ting a whiff of the fragrance 1 could
not resist a cup. I felt very lenient
towards the drunkard who could not
pass the saloon. Friends often urced
me to try Postum, but I turned a deaf i
ear. saying. 'That may do for people to
whom coffee Is harmful, but not for
me coffee and I will never part.'
"At last, however, I bought a pack
age of Postum, although I was sure I
could not drink it. I prepared it as
directed, and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter as I was against it. I
must say that never before had I
tasted a more delicious cup of coffee!
From that day to this (more than two
years) I have never had a desire for
the old coffee. My health soon re- j
turned; the asthma disappeared. I be-
gan to sleep well and in a short time '
t I gained 20 pounds in weight. I
I "One day I handed my physician
j the tablets he had prescribed for me,
j telling him I had no use for them. He
stayed for dinner. When I passed him
his coffee cup he remarked: 4I am glad
to see you were sensible enough not
to let yourself be persuaded that coffee
was harmful. This is the best cup of
coffee I ever drank.' he continued;
'the trouble is so few people know
how to make good coffee.' When he
got his second cup 1 told him he was
drinking Postum. He was incredu
lous, but I convinced him, and now he
uses nothing but Postum in his home
and has greatly improved in health."

The Attack on British Official at
Warsaw.
ST. PETERSBURG New expli
cations between Great Britain and
Russia are feared on account of the
attack on the British consul and vice
consul at Warsaw Saturday night.
Coming on the heels or the placards
posted by Assistant Police Chief
Roudeneff at Moscow charging Great
Britain with inciting the revolution
in Russia, the Warsaw Incident is
likely to arouse an outburst in Great
Britain which may again strain rela
tions between the two countries. Be
yond the fact of the attack at War
saw resulting in the wounding of the
British vice consul, who is now in a
hospital, the British embassy here
has no details of the affair, but Sir
Charles Hardinge the British am
bassador has already directed a note
to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff ask
ing for an immediate investigation
and explanation. reserving . any
claims which may be hereafter made
and at the same time asking for the
protection of British corsuls through
out the eninire. By the first train he
also dispatched Major Nanier, the (
British military atnehe. to vars.i
to secure a full report on the cir
cumstances. Count Lamsdorff hastened to reply
to Ambassador Harding s note, ex-

general and vice consul at Warsaw
ivrp intiired and informing him that
an immediate inquiry would be made
to establsih the facts. The consuis
are understood to have been wountfed
by Cossacks while the latter were
clearing the streets.
Count Lamsdorff replied to Ambas
sador Hardinge's second note on the
subject of the Moscow placards by
saying that instructions had been
sent to remove all traces of the
placards from the streets. It is now
learned, however, that similar no
tices had been posted at Libau and
Reval, which led to a renewal of rep
resentations on this score. In this
connection the appearance of the
proclamation of the holy synod, -
structing the orthodox prfsts to n-
form their parishoners tnat the strike
and revolutionary movements -were
promoted by the external enemies as
well as the internal enemies of Rus-
sia. with the object of cmnarrassrng

foreigners here, especially the Brit
ish, who believe that the object is to
incite hostility. No further action,
however, has been taken by either
Ambassador Hardinge or the other
foreign representatives.
Private advices from Warsaw say
the authorities there have already
taken over charge of the water wonts,
electric light and gas plants and that
serious trouble is anticipated.
