YORK , Neb. , Jan. 11. ( Spnclal. ) There
IB a rising wave of , Indignation In all parts
of the state where there are friends of the
First Nebraska boys against the reported
cruelty of Colonel Stotsenberg at Manila.
The complaints that have reached this place
from tlmo to tlmo have found popular ex
pression in the following petition from well
known citizens. It has been forwarded to
the secretary of war :
YORK , Neb. , Jan. 11. To Hon. R. A. Al-
gcr , Secretary of War , Washington : We ,
the undersigned , representing the parents ol
the boys constituting Company A , First reg
iment of Nebraska volunteers , now at Manila
would respectfully represent that they have
for a long time learned of the harsh and
tyrannical treatment of the boys by Colonel
Stotsonbcrg , the commanding officer of sale !
regiment , and take this means of remon
strating against his cruel acts.
Under the strict rules of military discip
line a soldier has very little hope of rellel
from the unjust oppressive sway of a su
perior officer , and If that officer sees fit tc
exercise his authority to the point of entail
ing unnecessary suffering and hardship upor
men there Is little to prevent It unless th <
friends at home can Interest those in au
thority ,
Wo' will not attempt to specify the nu
mermiB acts of tyranny of which Colone
Stotsonberg Is guilty. Wo would call youi
special attention to the recent remonstrnnci
of the friends of the Thurston Rifles o
Omaha men of the same regiment. Wi
have examined their charges therein se
forth and can elate that complaints of thi
same nature have frequently come to u :
from our own soldier boys.
We , ! therefore , beseech you.in the nami
of ; these , we hold dqar" to remove this mai
from command of 'said regiment and thu :
prevent further indignities against the help
less volunteer who Is making so great a sac
rlfice for his country. Wo have no nc
qualntance with Colonel Stotsenberg and
therefore , have no personal motive In mnk

AFTER GRIP
There Is no denying the serious fact that
here Is a great amount of sickness from the
grip ; that over-worked men and nomcn now
suffer more than nt any other time of the
ear from lassitude , headaches , slight chills
and fever and other symptoms of Imperfect
lealth ; that people fall sick more readily
now than at any other tlmo of the year ; and
hat whenever an epidemic does appear It
nvarlably plays havoc with those who are
run down and out of condition.
The utmost caution should bo taken to
ccep the blood pure and the nervous system
n healthy tone.
There Is no more excuse for the preval
ent symptoms of stagnant , Impure blood In
the body than there Is for the barbarism of
llthy streets In a city.
The relaxed and sluggish action of the
excretory organs loads the body with waste
material that poisons It and brings on
leadachcs , rheumatic pains , sleepless nights
and profitless days , due solely to the cir
culation In the blood , or deposit In the tis
sues , of these waste matters which Palno's
celery compound alone will quickly drive
out
When the arms , hips or back feel the
twinges of acute rheumatism it Is high
tlmo to relieve the kidneys and bladder from
the strain that so often brings on Brlght's
disease , gravel , dropsy and complications
of diseases with other organs whoso health
depends upon the purity of the blood.
Prompt use of Palne's celery compound
will save the weakened parts from yielding
to disease.
In its peculiar ability to Invigorate the
body , to make new blood and to regulate the
nerves , lies the great value of Palno's celery
compound In all wasting diseases and dis
orders of the kidneys , liver and stomach.
Patne's celery compound rescues shaky ,
enfeebled nerves from prostration and removes -
moves that feeling of utter exhaustion that
causes so much despondency among so many
worried men and women.
It makes flesh , blood and strong ; nerves.
Palne's celery compound is not a palem
medicine ! It ii not the discovery of some
quack doctor of whom his profession never
heard ; It is not a concoction put up by some
man who first invented a name , and then

study of the greatest physician America has
produced , a man ft hose reputation was

degrees from the best colleges , who was at
the time of his discovery a professor at Dart
mouth and a lecturer In other universities ,
a scholar , a member of a family which haa
made Us mark In every department ot public
llfo In America. It Is a remedy the formula
of which has been furnished to physicians In
good standing al'.vajs , and which physicians
were prescribing long before the present
manufacturers put It up for public distribu
tion ; it was discovered by Prof. Edward E.
I'helps , M. D. , LL. D. , nnd was first pre
