ULOOMINCVTON , Neb. , March 6. ( Special
Telegram. ) Judge Bcnll Opened district

mostly to minor cases.
Tooman and Cole , charged with murdering
J. P. Krlechbaum , were brought Into court

poor to hire lawyers to defend them. The
court named A. H. Hyrum of Hloomlngton
nnd A. F , Moore of McCook to defend Cole
and George W. Prnther to defend Tooman ,
allowing him to pick his assistant , he nam
ing Kd Dayley of Mlndcn.

both be tried nt the snmo time , which tlio I
court granted. The defense objected to this , I
however , nnd both will have separate trlnls.
It will bo at least Wednesday before the
cases will commence nnd the finding of n

PINE I1LUFF , Ark. , March G. The Order
of Hallway Conductors nnd the Brotherhood
of Hallway Trainmen are endeavoring to
obtain a modification of their contract with
the Cotton Uelt road.

which they are now working is unsatisfactory
and they want concessions from the com
pany. A big union meeting of members of
the organizations was held here tonight at
which the general contrnct committee , repre
senting the organizations on the system ,
were present. The committee , tias been
earnestly at work endeavoring to

a revised nnd acceptable contract not be i

CHEYENNE. Wyo. , Mnrch G. ( Special. )
The heirs of James Brldger , the Wyoming

the government making a lease on it and
ngreelng to pay Brldger a rental of $600 a
year nnd reserving the right to purchase

receive { 0,000 from tlio government on ac
count of the transaction of 1857.

eign corporation and following this the peti
tion gives the usual data connected with the
Incorporating nnd passage of the law which

"May good diges
tion wait on appetite
and health on both. "
That sentence from Shakespeare is a
genuine benediction of the body. In this
as in so many other things the intuition of
his mighty
mind seems
to have fath
omed the facts
) which scieuce
has slowly
discovered.
Science has
shown that
disease in any
part of the
body is al
most always
accompanied
by weakness
and failure of
the digestive
and assimila
tive ore .ins.
Under these
conditions the
stomach , liver
and blood-
making-
' glands fail in
their appoint-
edwork. Then
the symptoms
of disease appear , often in organs appar
ently remote from the real cause. Vitality
is lowered. There is a dull and sluggish
feeling often accompanied by headache.
The heart may seem affected. There may
be lack of ambition and energy with mental
irresolution. With such symptoms ns these
"delay is dangerous. " Such a condition
affords the favorite starting point for con
sumption. It is useless to doctor" fortlje
symptoms. The remedy that reaches the
case must reach the cause of disease. The
greatest medicine for all diseases of the
stomach and other digestive and nutritive
organs is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It restores the appetite , reestablishes
lishes a sound digestion- , purges out the
bilious poisons which infect the blood , car
ries off waste and builds up sound and
healthy tissues. The " Discovery " is not a
stimulant. It contains nonlcoholorwhisky.
No other medicine has so great a record of
cures , therefore accept no substitute.
