LINCOLN , Out. 27. ( ripc-lal. ) - The
scathing newfp.iper criticisms nnd the Rtorm
of indignation from the prople have at last
brought the reform elate auditor to his
knees and some of the \ouohers for
the maintenance of the Home of the Krlcnd-
lea * ore being audited this afternoon. Thi'
claims have been brltl up by the reformers
vince the 8th of July uf last year and nl-
though the HiipirniH court inndu till ordet-
several weeks ago dlrccllng the auditor lo
takf up Iho claims , no arllon has been laknn
until today. One o. ' the thfngs that bat
brought the auditor to tlmu In the fact that
un indignation meeting Is to ho held at thn
Oliver theater Saturday evening , at which
the people of the city expect to p.i > their
respects to the reformorn in a vigorous man-
ner. The auditing of the vouchers today
does not mean that the money Is In be patu
over ai , once , as It. Is underloot ! that there
Mill bo other delays , and that Meserve will
nai' . to be mandamiiEcd bcforo attaching his
name Iti the manner necessary to make the
warrants negotiable. Mr. Cornell has simply
decided to i-ome In out of the storm , nnd the
othrr olPccrs will bo allowed to finUli the
light. The preliminary action today on thn
jrnrt of the auditor Is a victory for the
home , but It Is quite probable that the
money Involved will continue to be "saved"
by the reformers until after election day.

and everything has since been running wide.
No Interference Is attempted by the police

wheel have even been heard on the sirens
by pedestrians passing some of the saloons.
The Independent , In last evening's Issue ,
comes out with a double column satire upon
tbe reform promised by Mayor W. II. Thomp
son and the city council last spring when
the committee on police and Hoard of Health
Introduced e. resolution to the effect that the
rcgulalions against gambling be strictly tn-
forced. This resolution was lauded very
highly by Mayor Thompson , who Is now
stumping the state for the popocratlc ticket ,
and In a message he stated that gamblers
had been fined monthly , believing a partial
enforcement was better than no enforcemtnt.

BEATRICE ; Neb. , Oct. :7. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The rayslcry surrounding the Iden
tity of the body of the young man who was
found dead near Wymore recently has been
cleared up. John Krapp of Cortland bad
a brother named Peter Krapp , who disap
peared from homo about July IS. Today the
former , In a letter to Coroner Heed , says
he has been to Wymore nnd positively Iden
tifies the clothing as that of his brothel.
The deceased , ho says , was partly demented
and was frequently talking of going to South
America , which ho expected to reach by
walking. How he came to hlf. death , being
physically strong , is more of a mystery thun
ever. As long as the remains wire thought
to bo those of J. E. Priest of Omaha thu
conclusion was reached that h ? died from
an overdose of morphine. How the Intter'a
Ictlers came to be In the vicinity of the dead
man Is not rpparently explained.

In the defeat of the reapportlonment bill In
lifll Is still fresh Iti the minds of the people-
In the western part of thn state , where the
cffi'L't was to tlcprivo them of the Increased
reprcssntallon to which they were entitled.
The record of this performance IB found on
pages lOOii-10-11-12 of the Senate Journal
of that year. On April I. beliiK the
sixty-fourth ilay of the session , Mr. Poyn-
ter , who was the chairman of the sifting
committee , moved that the senate KO Into
committee of the whole to consider bills
on Rcnvr.il Hie. Mr. Swltzler occupied the
chair In tlie committee an 1 according to the
prearranged plan house roll USO. the reap-
portionmi'iit bill , was the only one consid
ered. Thn committee subsequently arose
and recommended that the bill be In
definitely postponed. Mr. Poynter promptly
moved that the report of the committee he
adopted and on the roll call that killed the
bill he east his vote In favor of the com-
mltteo i-epor : . explaining that no further
time should be taken up with the bill , as
the members were very anxious to close
111 ? session and go home.
Mr. SlrtiMiH M'nrrlit'h Po.viil.-r.
J. K. Stevens of North I'lattc. who rep
resented one of the Immense senatorial dis
tricts In the \vestern pirt uf the state , made
some remarks on the perfidy of Poynter and
his associates In declining to pass the bill ,
and as Mr. Stevens was one of the most
prominent and able farmers' alliance men
In the stati1 , Ills remarks as printed In full
In the record are good reading at this time
and will show why the voter * of the west
have n crow to pblc with Poynter this fall.
Mr. Stevens said :

such actions being taken by this body. , \
plain and emphatic provision of Hi * L tatc

mandatory upon this body to district tin
state at this time for legislative purposes
and members have all taken solemn obllsa
lions under th ? sanctity of an oath toap'
port Its provisions. Yet we we u cringing
unmanly disposition manifested upon th (
part of many to disregard sacred obligations
under constitutional environments , whlct
members of this bodv made to their con'
itltuents In almost every school house durliif
the late political campaign. Have- gentle
men forgotten their sacred pledges whlcl
were fresh upon their lips n few months v
when they convened hern fresh from tin
people a their trusted and honored repre-
Ft-ntatlves ?
They tell us business affairs compel then
to ml I cum mid hurry home. What Inordlnati

these honorable gentlemen that can out
weigh their t'worn duty to all of the peopli
of a great state or hope to appease thi
wrath and indignation of an outraged am
Insulted , forsaken , betrayed constituency n
home ? If legislation on this subject is de
ferred It will not only bo a deliberate insul
to many soctl-ns of the state but an outragi
to many of our people.

The Thirtieth senatorial district comprise ;

approximate population of 30,000 people
while Lincoln county alone possesses a pop

the result cf the motion of the senator fron

and speak advisedly when I say that a fail
ure on the part of thin legislature to pas :

Inconvenient for people who have business
at the depot , as the tract of land north ol
the viaduct Is almost Inaccessible. Such s
move would most likely be combatted by N
street business men , who would no doubl
object to removing the depot such a distance
from the main business portion of the city
Those who have business at the yards am !
come here by train would most likely ob
ject to tramping half a mile down ths tracks
to reach the entrance to the yards.

Plumbing Inspector Cook has made sorm
suggestions In connection with proposed
amendments to the plumbing ordinance re
cently passed by the council. luspectoi
Cook says that on new plumbing , gas am' '
sewer work , the ordinance provides for feei
to be collected by the Inspector for plc i
of work running In value of $50 or over , hui
does not provide for new work amountlnp
to less than $50. This latter class , the Inspector
specter says. Is In the majority and bclnp
scattered all over the city , furnishes thf
source of the most labor. These small job ;
demand Inspection , but no provision Is made
for a fee for the work performed by thf
Inspector. In this connection the inspectoi
suggests that thn ordinance bo amended st
that a fee of about 75 cents bo provided It
eases of new work or repairs costing uudei
l , Tturrn for Xrxt Month.

TUMOR EXPELLED.
Unqualified Success of Lydia B.

Mrs. Erir.AHKTir WunKr.ocn. Magno
lia. Iowa , in the following Mtrr de-
bcribcs her recovery from a. very criti
cal condition :
" DHAII Miw. PtMWAMi I hare been
talcing your Vegetable Compound , and
am now ready to hound
its praises. It
hn.s donu won
ders for me in
relieving me
of a tumor.
"My health
luis been poor
for tli rut * years.
Change o { life
was working
upon me. 1
WHS very
much blontod
and wa& a bur-
ilen to myself. Was troubled with
smothering spells , also palpitation of
the heart and that bonring-down feeling -
ing , and could not be on my feet much.
"Ivas growing worse all the time ,
until I too ) ; your medicine.
' After taking three boxes of Lyiliu
E. I'inltham's Vegetable Compound
Lozenges , the tumor passed from me.
" My hualth ha boon better evei *
since , can now walk ( juitc a distance
and am troubled no more with palpita
tion of the heart or bloating. I rec
ommend your medicine to all sufferers
from female troubles. " .
It is hardly reasonable to suppose
that any one can doubt the efficiency
of Mrs. Pintdiam's methods and medi
cine in the face o ( the tremendous vol
ume of tcstuuouy ,
"When does this train sUrl , conductor ? "
"Madam , this train can't start until I get my piece of Battle Ax. "
No matter if you did start wrong when you
began to buy chewing _ tobacco , you can change
now to
and start Bright. You cannot find any one who
has changed irom Battle Ax to any other kind
of chewing tobacco. Why should they ? There
is nothing better. If you are not chewing Battle
Ax now start again buy a JOc. piece to-day.
