CONDITION OF STATE BANKS.
Secretary P. L. Halt ot the State Bank
Ing board said today when speaking of the
extraordinary increase In deposits In banks
during the month of March , that this In
crease is general all over the state and
ni'iy bo expected to continue , so that the
next quarterly statement of thebanks _ will
IJD the best In this respect ever made In the
history of the state. The reason for this *
ho says Is because of the Increased confi
dence In the banks and because at this time
of year and particularly thin year the farm-
eifl over the btato are selling their surplus
stock and grain. He said observation had
shown that December and January are the
months when the most borrowing Is done ,
and that In February , March , April and May
there la sure to bo an increase In deposits
and a decrease in the amount borrowed.
Speaking of the condition of the banks
throughout the Btato , Dr. Hall saya very few
> ot them are making money at the present
time , and not many have declared dividends
for the last year. Thl ? Is on account of the
plenitude of money arid the difficulty In
making loans. During hla long residence , in
the state ho has never seen money BO plentl
ful. He had himself been engaged In thi
banking business for the last thirteen years
* end thlo spring Is the fl-ttt time his bank ,
ing houpo haft ever found it necessary to re
duce the rate of interest paid on deposits
( Money had become a drug and no bank can
afford to pay B per cent on money which It
ij afterward unable to loan out. There liacj
boon a general reduction In the rate paid on
deposits , and In some .cases banks now refus
to pay anything on deposits and take th
money for safe keeping clmply to accommo
date customers.
SAFES COME OUT ALL RIGHT.
Eight ofllce safes which were In the Rich
arils block and \\ent through the fire las
Friday night wcro dragged out of the ruins
today. The day was spent by a large force
of men In taking out the safes and In de
molishing the high walls of the ruined
building , which were a menace to the safety
of the citizens and adjoining property. The
'work Is being done under the direction of
the fire department. All the sates have been
opened and the contents found to bo In good
shape , with the exception of one , In which
the books were watersoaked. The vaults o
the American Exchange bank. Security In
vestment company and the Nebraska Mutua
Insurance company wcro opened this even
Ing and the books and papers were found
In good condition.
Mrs. Mamie Mears has commenced suli
against W. C. Fleury of the Grand hate
to recover a pocketbook which she asserts
was stolen from her room In the hotel , the
landlord not having notified her that ho
had a safe for the keeping of valuables be
longing to guests. The missing pocketbook
contained $90 when last In Mrs. Hears' ' pos
session. The case was continued until May
4 to allow Mr. Fleury to collect his evidence
In defenie.

' A Ponltlve Cure for Dyvpeimln.
ThU may read as though we were putting
It a llttlo strong because It Is generally
thought by the majority of people that Dys
pepsla in Its chronic form Is Incurable , 01
practically so. But we have long sine
shown that dyspepsia Is curable , nor is I
luch a difficult matter as it first appears.
The trouble -with dyspeptics Is that the ;
are continually dieting , starving themselves ,
or going to opposite extremes or else delug
ing the already overburdened stomach witt
"bitters. " "after dinner pllle , " etc. , which
Invariably Increase the difficulty even If In
omo cases they do give a slight temporar )
relief. Such treatment of the stomach
Imply makes matters worse. What th
tomach wants Is a rest. Now how can th
stomach become rested , recuperated and a
the same time the body nourished and sus
talned ?
This la the great secret , and this Is alsi
tbe tcret of the uniform success of Stuart *
iDyspepala Tablets. This Is a comparative !
new remedy , but Its success and popu
ularlty leaves no doubt as to Us merits.
The tablets will digest the food anyway
regardless of condition of stomach ,
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
directions Is to cat an abundance of good
'wholesome food and ueo the tablets befon
anil after each me.il and the result will b
that the food will be digested no matter how
bad your dyspepsia may be , because as be
fore stated , the labels will digest the food
even If the stomach la wholly inactive. To
illustrate our meaning plainly , if you take
1,800 grains ot meat , eggs or ordinary food
and place It In a temperature ot 98 degrees ,
and put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets It will digest the meat or eggs al
most 09 perfectly as It tbe meat was enclosed
Within the stomach.
Tbe stomach may be ever eo weak , yet
these tablets will perform the work of di
gestion and the body and brain will be
properly nourished and at the same time a
radical , lasting cure of dyspepsia will be
made because the much abused stomach will
bo given , to some extent , a much needed
rct. Your druggist will tell you that of
tbe many remedies advertised to cure dys
pepsia none of them has given so complete
and general satisfaction as Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets and not least in Importance
in these hard tlmrs Is the tact that they
are also the cheapest and give the most
goad for the least money.

HOLCOMB'S GREAT AM01TION
Goyeinor's ' Plans for Future Political Action
Open to Inspection.
EAGER TO SUCCEED HIMSELF AGAIN
Senatorial Togra. So Kan Away that He
CUB Seek "Vindication" IB the
Meantime Slate Home
LINCOLN , April B. ( Special. ) There to
ow no attempt to disguise tbe fact that the
> opocratlc machine 10 working for the re-
omlnatlon ot Governor Holcomb. The gov.
rcor feels In need ot a "vindication , " and
oelng no chance to succeed Allen In the
fnlted Statee aenate , he will ask for a
hlrd term as governor. In speaking ot thla ,
man who has heretofore been prominent In
ualco circles lays : "Holcomb Is atrald If
to walla to succeed Thurvton he will be
helved and forgotten , or that by that tlrno
he atate will be BO strongly republican he
wilt have no chance for future bonors. A
bird term ae governor Is his only oppor-
unlty. and In the convention you will aeo
.he other candidates llo'down and let him
mvo the nomination. Just look at tbe eltu
atlon. One of the prominent candidates Is
Eilmlsten. Ho holds an appointment under
lolcomb. Then there Is Neville , also hold-
tig an appointive job. And D. Clem Deaver ,
who will be glad to turn over to Holcomb
n exchange for the as < < uranco that he
> e allowed to bold on at the Institute for
the Deaf and Dumb at Omaha. Jim Dahl
man , who was really appointed an the Hoard
of Transportation at the behest of Bryan ,
will nevertheless have little desire to Incur
.he lasting lllwlll of the governor , and It he
IBS any votes from the northwest counties
will be ready to switch them to Holcomt
at the proper time. The appointments ol
Senator Dearlng and ex-Senator Campbell to
good places Just lately has been willi the
direct understanding that they will stand
ready to fight for the further political ad
vancement of Holcomb. "
MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROADERS LINE UP.
Just whit will bo the attitude of the mid
did of-the-road element In regard to Hoi
comb's ambitions cannot be learned , and I
Is doubtful If trey have formulated any deft
nlte plans. Doth the Edgertocn were heart
to nay last fall that they "would never again
consent to a fusion doll on the state ticket. '
but there are now none who believe tha
either of them will sacrifice his sinecure jol
to uphoJ ! the resolve made last year. A. E
Sheldon has * been pretty well rewarded am
Is Euylng very little against fusion thl
spring. The populist organ of this city
which last fall was getting ready to bolt th
whole slate house crowd , la now swinging
Into line , having received numerous Insurance
anco notices and other substantial crumbs
from the ofllclal pie counter. The change in
the attitude of this paper has been so marked
that In the place of last year's editorials
denouncing the officials who accepted rail-
read pssses It now uses much space In ex
cusing the pass system and In attempting to
show that the acceptance of free transporta
tion docs not put an official of the state under
obligations to the railroad companies.
While the machine , ( backed by Its corps of
officeholders. Is working for * -nomination
of the governor and all bit ono of the other
state officers , there Is much grumbling heard
In other parts of the state. Many leading
populists have , however , openly declared
against the fusion deal and are busy working
up the centlment In their respective locali
ties ? . Jn every county there Is a discordant
element that Is causing the state house party
some anxiety. This Is especially marked In
Pawnee county , where a candidate for the
legislature on the popocratlc ticket In 1SD5
hat ; declared for republicanism , a former
candidate for county attorney refuses to vote
for the present officials If they arc renoml-
nated and many of the prominent populists
ot the county have- taken a similar stand ,
because of Holcomb's record In the Hartley
defalcation and because of the railroad record
of the other state officials. In Qage and
RIcibardson counties there Is a similar de
mand that there must bo a new deal all
around or the fusion party la sure to go
down in defeat next fall.
Tramp Held for Trial.
GRAND ISLAND , Neb. , April 6. ( Spe
cial. ) A tramp , who gave his name as

Most diseases are signs of poverty , either
of blood or of nerves , and generally of both for

is when the nervous tissues are worn out and
used up faster than the system can replace them
that the brain , nerves and vital organs suffer
cry out for refief and finally break down , A
thousand painful symptoms tell the story of
the exhausted body , nourished nerves and the
thin , impure blood. Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine assists nature to rise again and throw
off the yoke of disease. It sets every spring
ot health in action ; builds the battlements of
the body by feeding and nourishine every fibre
of the physical system. It is an unfailing cure
tor nervous prostration and the best of all modi
dues for overworked men and women.

Yesterday's election was the mcst exciting
In yearn , and It was stated that never 'be '
fore In the history of the city had Ihero been
such a blller flghl on the head of the tlckel.
More Interest lhan usual was manifest In Ihe
selection of members of Iho Board of Edu-
callon , and many women voted , especially In
the First ward. City Clerk Carpenter and
two clerks wcro kept busy the greater part
of Ihe day preparing papers for those who
had , for some reason , failed to register. At
7 o'clock last night when the polls closed
Iho clerk had Ifsued papers lo 163 persons.
This is the largest vote ever sworn In since

264 , or within fifty-five of the total registra
tion. The fight over there was particularly
better1 on tbo head of the ticket , and all
three candidates for mayor kept workers at
the polls all day.
This makes a total ot 3,429 votes cast. It
was estimated lhat 3,500 votes would be cast ,
and the totals show that the estimates were
nearly correct.
