THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , DECEMBER It , 1897. I FROM THE FARTHER WEST POPS ARE POOR CALCILATOKS Aa Progccstlgrttors They Eo Not Pan Oat Well , FAIL IN SCUTII DAKOTA GERRYMANDER Ilcttirti * of Lntc Election Sliovr the lleitulilleann Iliivu the Hotter Ulinnro nf Cnrrjlnn the .Vext n. S. D. . DSC. 10.Special. ( . ) When the popttllfit leglslrt'.uro of Inst winter h d completed Its legislative gerrymander they thought that the state had been so divided that even with a large republican majority on the genoru ! ticket they could yet carry through a populist legislature. The vote at the judicial elections this ( all Rliows that re gardless of the popullflt bill It would bo pos sible for republican legislative success , even with n small majority generally. The returns show that the following coun- ll s which gave populist majorities last year have switched over this year : Brooklngs , Brown Unite , Clay , Davidson. Day , Edmunds , Fall Illver , Hand , Hanson , Jorauld , Kings- bury , McCnok , Marshall , Mcado , Minor , Mln- nuhiiha , Moody. Potler , Stanley , Union , " \Val- \ worth , and the unorganized counties which tiavo been attached to organized counties for legislative purposes. The vote ot the different counties and logls-l latlvo districts , In the late election , show ! th > H on the same kind of a vote next year thr > j political complexion ot the two house ? would ] bo : House , republican , sixty-four ; populist , twenty-tin 05 , a republican majority-of forty- one. Senate , republican thirty-two ; popu list , thirteen ; republican majority , nineteen , the new ! apportionment. Increasing the mcm- liorshlp from forty-thrco to forty-live la the senate and from clghty-threo to eighty- Bcvcn In the house. This estimate gives the republican counties In the Third circuit , which gave majorities tor Bennett , to the populists , and It Is not at all likely that they would give any such a majority , or In fact any majority to ( ho pop ulist ticket In the general election. But whllo th'a Is the o ) e , there are populist counties which gave republican majorities on the Judicial ticket which would undoubtedly go hack to populism on a general election , and taking these two classes as an offset to one Another , the vote Just as returned In given In this estimate.

A special from El Paso , Tex. , says : Meager particulars- were received In this city late last night from San Slmcti , a small station just east of Wllcox , Ariz. , on the Southern Pacific , ot a train holdup. Train No. 20 , the Sunset limited , had Just left Stein's Pasa , N. M. , near the Arizona line , when the engineer noticed a danger signal In front and Immediately applied the air brakes.

One covered the engineer and fire man with hla rifle , whllo Iho others gave their attention to the train proper , more especially to the express car , firing their guns In the air and otherwise frightening the passengers. At this Volnt the guards In the express car .took ft hand In the fusillade. Thirty or forty shots nro tald to have been fired by both sides. Ono Wells-forgo guard , Jennings by name , succeeded In killing Robber Cullen , who was nearest to the car and who was evidently the leader , for as SOCH as the other robbers noticed his body lying on the ground they lost courage and made a break for their horses , but another bullet from Jennings' rlflo evidently struck ono of the fleeing robbers , us ho was seen to fall and was assisted out of range by his comrades.

Almost the entire family of Drown Smith , a respectable whlto farmer , 35 years of ago , was killed with a club In the hands of Charles Lowls , a negro.

It Is more than possible that within the next few days the great bulk ot the cracker and biscuit bust- ness of the United States will bo controlled by a combination of the three corporations that now share the trade among themselves , says the New York Times. These three cor porations are the New York Biscuit com pany , the American Biscuit and Manufactur ing company and the United States Biscuit company. It Is generally supposed that the Now York Biscuit company will bo the head , as It Is said to have been the chief promoter of the combination. The three-fold process of absorption has gene on until these thrco great companies now stand without rivals , except among themselves. The combination now forming will put an end to the limited rivalry 'that existed , and thcro will then bo ono biscuit concern that will control the entlro trade of the country , Its combined capital will bo J25.000.000 or $30,000,000. Rumors are current to the effect that Philip D. Armour of Chicago and J. D. Qllmore the banker of this city , were the chief promoters - motors of the organization. This has been denied at the ofllco of tha New York Blscull company. It was learned from this company ' pany that the officers'of the three big con cerns Interested In forming this combination are now In this city to complete the details of the union. The headquarters of the now organization will probably bo established In this city. It Is eaoy to catch a cold and just as osby to get rid of It If you commence tarly o use Ono Minute Cough Cure.

While prco- MADE MOTHER WELL iickness Driven from Another Home by Paine's Celery Compound , Women , mothers of families , have no more right to live beyond their strength than be yond their Income. The greatest Injustice that women do them selves and their children Is putting off get ting well. Headaches , nervousness , dyspep sia and melancholia lay their leaden fingers over the whole household. Palno's celery compound has driven sick ness and gloom from Innumerable homes , where some loved member was the source of continual anxiety and oven despair. The constantly repeated successes ot this great Invlgorator In making people well have roused many persons who thought themselves destlued unredecmably to lives of Imperfect health to try Paine's celery compound. No ono can read the following letter with out being Inspired with confidence In this great remedy : C5D Elm Strteet , Buffalo , N. Y. , July 23. About eight years ago , after the birth ot a child , I suffered terribly. I could not get help from over a dozen physicians to whom I applied , and after receiving treatment from the last doctor continually for nine months , waa pronounced cured and continued so uutll the birth ot another child , when I was obliged to commence doctoring again , although all Imaginable treatments had been esorted to without one particle of relief. I was subject to neuralgic troubles and lightly rheumatic , and I became discouraged nd melancholy , feeling that I should never gain be a. well woman. I waa In a pitiful state , when my husband , who had been benefited by the use ot Paluo'i celery compound , urged mo to try It. In remarkably short tlmo after I began taking the remedy I began to notice a change for tha better. Before I had taken three bottles I was well. I consider my euro a mlruclo , for I had tried a great many doctors and different drugs and spent hundreds of dollars In vain. Respectfully yours , MRS. KATE HENNKSSEN. Close , careful observation of great number * ot cases like the above led Professor Edward E. Phelps , M. D. , LL. D. , of the Dartmouth. Medical School , to the formulation of Palno' celery compound. The success of this universally well known remedy In quickly driving out disease from the lilood and system need not be retold to newspaper readers. Paine's celery compound restores to a healthy state i weakened and diseased nerv- cus system. One of the first evidences of Its building-up vlrttio Is In the gain of flesh no ticeable about the face. Night sweats and nervous twltchlngs are things of the past ; there Is a great Improvement In looks , a hot ter appetite , sounder sleco , a clearer skin and more regular functions. These are a few ot the outward Improvements. More Im portant Is the thorough and radical purifying of the blood and the regulating and building up of the deep-lying nerves all over the body. Thcro Is nothing half way or partial In the effect of Paine's celery compound. It cures permanently. % ? t * * . to your friends LAST SUNDAY'S BEE WITH THE HANDSOME HALF-TONE ? * ENGRAVING 19x25 INCHES SHOWING THE OFFICIAL BIRDS-EYE VIEW or THE $ $ S and INTERNATIONAL S I ftft ft ftft ft This issue of The with this hand ftft some supplement , is the best advertisement the Ex ftft position and Omaha has ever had. ftft Everybody should send a copy of this . - # issue to their friends outside of Omaha.
