LINCOLN , Nov. S. ( Special. ) The su
jircme court met this morning nnd covcra
important rases were submitted , nmon
them the case of the State of Nebrask
ngalnot the Homo Insurance company o
New York. This was an action commence !
In the district court of Lancaster count
to recover certain fees which were paid t
John V. Cornell as ntato auditor and whlc
wore not turned Into the state treasitrj
It Is a test case and If the decision Is favor
nble to the state similar proceedings wll
be commenced against the Insurance com
jinnies which paid fees to Cornell.
One of the contentions of the dcfendan
Insurance company was that the state , afte
having knowledge of Moore's delinquency
made n demand for him to make It ROO (
and that he paid $1,000 , which was duly re
celvcd by the state. The sate contend
that Mcore was the agent of the Insuranc
companies nnd as such had In his posses
slon money which should have been paid
to the state. It Is admitted that In law
Moore owes the state nothing and that th
Insurance companies owe It In the aggregate
about $27,000. Moore as the agent of the
Insurance companies , reduced the Indobt
edncss by the payment of the $4,000 to J23 ,
000. Another ground of defense Is that the
state having ncqulceced for so many years
In the custom of paying tecs to the nudlto
Is now estopped to deny that such n pay
ment was n proper payment to discharge
the obligation to the state. This contention
Is met by n decision from a Texas case
In which the court held that because the
ftntf had not acted nt an earlier day coulc
not affect the right of the state to maintain
i lt suit , concluding with the abortion tha
"the state cannot bo precluded from pn
forcing Its right to what belongs to It. "
The case was argued before the supreme
cnurt by Attorney General Smyth and As
sistant George Corcoran for the state am
by Greene & Breckenrldgn for the de
fendant.

The fetishism of savage Africa makes
us shudder , and fills us with disgust.
Yet we have fetishes of our own , one of
them great , widely-worshipped , and in
whose name crimes innumerable are
daily perpetrated. The name of that fe
tish is Ignorance.
To that powerful
fetish thousands
of mothers annu
ally make sacrifice
of thcirdaughtcrs.
For what is it but
a sacrifice to the
fetish Ignorance
to permit girls to
blossom to wom
anhood , and enter
the marriage rela
tion without one
helpful hint of the
obligations of that
relation and its
physical perils ?
Just the word
which the mother
fails to speak
would turn the
young girls'atten
tion to the danger
of irregularity.
For it is in the .
ignorance of the necessity for regularity
in the period that the foundation is laid
for the debilitating drains , the female
weakness , bearing-down pains , inflam
mation nnd ulceration that rob marriage
of joy and motherhood of happiness.

WASHINGTON Majorities run from a
few to nearly 500. When the returns ore
all In Holcomb will have the county by
about 70. The republican district judges
will carry the county by about 150 votes.
Of the county officers the republicans get
clerk , judge , clerk of court , surveyor and
coroner. Thu fuslonlsts get sheriff and
treasurer , superintendent and treasurer.
The fualonlsts had sheriff and treasurer last .
term. The fuslonist lost one member from
the county board. The board now stands
six republicans and one populist.
IN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
Upturn * SompTTlint Incomplete , lint
Knlrly Indicate the
ncntilt.
The returns on judges of the dUtrlct
court lack considerable of being complete ,
but generally give a certain Indication of
the result. In the Second district Paul
Josson of Otoe , republican , defeats Judge
Karasay of Cass. In the Third Judges
Frost , Hall and Cornish , republicans , are
ro-clected. In the Fourth ( the Omaha dis
trict ) all seven of the republican candi
dates are elected. In the Fifth returns are
suillclent to Indicate conclusively the elec
tion of Sornbergcr and Good , the fusion
candidates. They had a good , safe ma
jority on the basis of the 1898 vote. Very
little has been received on judges In the
Sixth , but what has been , coupled with tlie
largo fusion majority for the state ticket
in the district , readers the election of Hol-
lenbeck and Grlmleon , fusion , a certainty.
Returns from the Seventh Indicate a close
race between Christy , republican , and
Slubbs , populist , nnd the chances of the
two appear about even. Stubba has a ma
jority of thirty-six In Saline and Christy
one of flfty-throo In Nuckolls. Comparison
with the vote on the state ticket In FI1I-
moro , Thaycr and Clay counties , which
comprise the remainder of the district ,
shows a fusion plurality.
In the Eighth , Graves , fusion , Is doubtless
elected , though complete returns have not
been received.
In the Ninth ex-Senator W. V. Allen Is
elected over Welch , republican.
Adams , fusion. Is elected In the Tenth.
Only four out of twelve counties In the
Eleventh have been heard from and these
Indicate the probability that Abbott , re
publican , and Thompson , fusion , may be
elected.
Judge Sullivan defeats ex-Judge Hamer
in the Twelfth.
Returns are almost entirely lacking In the
Thirteenth. Last year on the state ticket
the republicans had a majority of sixty-one
In the district. In the counties heard from
Judge Grimes , republican , has increased the
majority of last year.
Norrls , republican , Is running ahead of the
state ticket. With Red Willow. Chase and
Hayes counties to hear from he hao a ma
jority of 274. These counties last year gave
? . republican majority of 175 and as Norrls
liao overcome an adverse majority in the
other counties his election would seem to
be assured.
There Is little to predicate an opinion
en in the Fifteenth , except that the dis
trict has a etnwg fusion majority , and tha
returns received would hardly warrant the
assumption that the republican candidates
could overcome It.
VOTE IN LANCASTER COUNTV
Itciiil > llcniin Poll About ( he Vnunl
Vote nnd KIrot Their Ticket
with Little Trouble.
LINCOLN , Nov. 8. ( Special. ) The re
publicans of Lancaster county polled about
the usual vote yesterday and elected the
entire county ticket with the exception of
ona candidate the nominee for county
treasurer. One or two of the other can
didates had a close shave , but the ticket
has an average majority of about 1,000. Un- j
ofllclal returns from all precincts and wards
'
n Lancaster county give Reese 5,510 , and
lolcomb1,555 , a majority for Reese of
155. William McLaughlln , fusion candi
date for county treasurer , was elected by a
majority of 949.
The fight on Duckstaff , the republican
nndldato for county treasurer , was waged
by the republicans , many of whom made no
secret of the fact. They Insist that they
made It simply because of Buckstaff's con
duct In tbo county convention.
The fusion committee this nfternoon
claimed the election of two other candidates ,
but tbo returns do not Justify their as
sertions.
The republican headquarters were prac
tically deserted today. It was easy to do-
ermine from the early returns last night
hat Holcomb had nn easy majority , but
eturns were received up to nn early hour
bis morning.
The populists were In a particularly Joy-
ul mood today and arrangements have
Iready been made for a grand Jollification
aler In the week. The returns were a sur-
rlse to many popocrats. They were all
onfldent , but they did not expect to see
uch largo gains , notwithstanding the ex-
ravugant claims of the populist central
ommlttee.

DBfiLlN. Nov. S. It was officially an
nounced this morning that an agreement ,
subject to the approval of the United States ,
had been arrived at between Great Britain
and Germany , by virtue of which the samoan -
* moan act Is repealed and the Islands eli
i Upolil , Savnll and the small adjacent Islands
! fall to Germany as free property , and the
{ Island of Tutulla and the subsidiary Islands
go to the United States.
I Orent Britain , It Is added , renounces any
I claim to the Samoan Islands and Germany ,
j In turn , renounces any claim to the Tonga
I Islands and to Savage Island In favor of
I Oront Britain , nnd also cedes Cuolseul and
1 San Isabel , the two easterly Islands of the
| Solomon group , with their Insular surround-
I Ings , lo Great Britain. The consular repre
sentatives of the two powers In Samoa and
the Tonga Islands arc to bo withdrawn tor
the present and German subjects are to
have the same rights as British subjects in
nwmt to the free and unimpeded enlistment
of native laborers In the whole of the Solo-
I mon group In the possession ot Great
Britain , Including Chotscul and San Isabel
\ < MV Ilotiniliiry In ToROlnnd.
At the same tlmo an arrangement has been
arrived at between the two powers by virtue
ot which the so-called neutral zone in the
hinterland of German Togoland and the
British Gold Contt will bo divided In such a
manner that the .boundary of the German
nnd British territories will bo formed by the
Paka river up to a point where the latter
cuts the ninth degree of latitude , thence
north by a line to be fixed by a mixed com
mission. To this Is appended a reservation
that the countries of MamprusI and Gambaza
shall fall to Great Britain and the countries
of Yeudl and Chakosl to Germany.
Finally , according to the decision of the
colonial council , Germany has promised to
rcnounco Its extra-territorial rights In Zan
zibar till the expiration of the commercial
treaty In 1002 , with the proviso that the re
nunciation Is only effective when the ether
nations abandon their extra-territorial rights
in Zanzibar. In favor of Great Britain. Re
garding this agreement it Is observed that
the United States' assent is regarded as as
sured.
A further agreement concluded between
Germany , Great Britain and the United
States Is to the effect that the question of
compensation for claims for damages during
the late trouble Is to be submitted .to an Im
perial court of arbitration , which will decide
all claims.
UNITED STATUS TO GIST TUTUIbA.
Agreement of Ciri-nt Ilrltnln mid Ger
many lo lie .Submitted.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 8. The State depart
ment has not yet been advised of the agree
ment between Great Britain and Germany
respecting the Snmoan group. It Is gath
ered , however , that If the outline of the ar
rangement set out In the cable advices Is
accurate , there will be no disposition to
withhold our approval provided certain
minor conditions are Included.
Whatever plan Great Britain and Germany
might agree upon , It was stipulated should
be first submitted to the consideration of
the United States. This was necessary , as
the change proposed could be made only
by formal treaty , which would not "require
the approval of the senate.
It Is believed that the arrangement pro
posed now will be satisfactory to the State
department. The United States Is not con
cerned with the amount or character ot
the compensation that passes between the
other nations. Besides retaining the coaling
station of Page Page , acquiring the island
ot Tutulla , whereon the harbor Is located ,
and three or four emaller islets in the vi
cinity , the United States will continue to
enjoy , by stipulation , the privilege of tradIng -
Ing with Apia , under conditions usually as
favorable as those now existing. The islets
referred to are not of any particular im
portance from a commercial point of view ,
but It is deemed essential to control them
politically in order to prevent smuggling.
The partition of the Samoan group of
Islands marks the close of a long-standing
Eource of International controversy and
also brings about new territorial arrange
ments ! n the South Pacific. In the early
stage of the negotiations It was agreed that
the United States should have the Island
of Tutulla , with Us valuable harbor of
Page Page , and the lesser Inlands of Its
coast , including1 the large Islet of Manila.
The negotiations then shifted to London
to determine whether Germany or Great
Britain should retain the two remaining
Islands , Upolu and Saval.
The nature of these later negotiations
has been constantly communicated to
Washington , although they have not reached
the Slate department and It has been known
for some days that In case Great Britain
retired from Samoa , Germany would give
an part compensation the large Solomon
islands of Yzabcl and Choisetil. These are
near tbo British possessions In Australia ,
being- east of New Guinea. They are twice
the size of the Samoan group , but the county
Is mountainous and the people warlike , many
being cannibals , The area of all the Ger
man Solomon Islands IH 9,000 sijitaro miles ,
against 1,700 square miles far the entire
Samoan group.
At the British nnd German embassies
here the announcement of the close of the
negotiations was received with much sat
isfaction.
A high diplomatic official raid the agree ,
ment was duo mainly to thq fact that Ger
man public sentiment was averse to retiring
from Samcn , nnd yielding to this sentiment
Great Britain had solved the matter by
taking an equivalent In territory elsewhere.

Action by novrrninent.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 8 , Treasury officials
are watching the course of the money market -
ket in New York , but it Is understood no
steps are contemplated at this tlmo to re
lieve the stringency In rates which exist
In some quarters. Officials are disposed to
think the excessive
charges for money
nro made largely by banks to customers
who desire 1 for use In speculation and
that for ordinary buslnefs the financial
Institutions are nble to accommodate their
clients at the legal rates of Interest. Secre
tary Gage , In upeaklng of the matter , said
that bo did not consider any exigency existed
warranting any action by the government ,
There was no great accumulation of money
In the treasury and the outgo of govein-
mcnt moneys was running pretty oven with
its receipt.
In this connection the secretary eald he
knew nothing of the statement current In
Wall street today that there was to bo n
conference between himself and well wnown
bankers of the rnctrr.ooiis to consider the
question , nor wsa there any basis for tha
report that the government was to purchase
a largo amount of bonds , The secretary was
In communication by telephone with a prom
inent banking house in New York today ,
the officials of which Informed him that
they had enough funds to meet the demands
of their regular customers nt ordinary rates
of Interest.
ARGUMENTS IN WAR TAX CASE
To Tent Whether Trnnnonrtnilnn

Hcicntic on 1'ncknKcn.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. The United
States supreme court today began the hear
ing In the case ot the Merchants' associa
tion of New York , brought In the name ot
William Crawford , against the Adams Kx-
press company , to teat whether the trans-
poitntlon companies or the shippers shouM
pay the war revenue ; charged on packages
sent by express.
Frederic R. Kellogg , on behalf of the
merchants , contended that the tax Is Im
posed exclusively on the business of trans
portatlon and la Intended to bo borne by
the carrier In all cases where It accepts
Roods for transportation , and also that the
Imposition of this tax upon the carrier
precludes It from relieving Itself of the ex
pense by refusing to accept goods for trans
portation unless the unnllllng shipper him
self assumes the burden. It was urged
that the refusal of the express companies
to carry packages upon which the tax had
not been paid Is nn unlawful and unrea
sonable restriction ot trade and the court
wns asked to enjoin It from making such
refusal.
Mr. Stccle , as counsel for the express
companies , took the position that the war
rovcnuo tax wns not Intended by congress
to bo Imposed exclusively upon thu express
company , oven In the first Instance , but It
Is placed simply on the transaction of ship
ment , to bo paid Indifferently by cither
party , and that oven If the express com
pany la compelled exclusively toy the statute
to pay the tax In the first Instance , yet It
Is loft free to relieve Itself of this ex-
pensa by refusing to accept express pack
ages for transportation unless the shipper
agrees to assume the burden.
Mr. Steele asserted that the Adams com
pany carries about 28,000,000 packages an
nually. The tax on these would amount
to $280,000 , or 2',4 per cent of the nominal
par value ot thn company's capital stoeU.
This , ho argued , would bo unreasonable ,
whllo If paid * y the shipping public It would
not bo felt. The hearing will continue to
morrow.
MCKNSH FOR DEWKY.

Mm. Mildred Hnscu.
WASHINGTON , Nov. S. A marriage li
cense was today Issued to Admiral Gcorgo
Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen. The ap
plication for the license was made by Lieu
tenant Harry H. Caldwell , U. S. N. , Admiral
Dewey's secretary , In person. The Informa
tion furnished the clerk and sot forth In the
license Is that Admiral Dewey is 61 years ot
ago -and his bride-elect 43 ; that both are
citizens of the United States and that in the
case of each party thcro was one former mar
riage. To these statements Lieutenant Cald
well was required to make oath.
The marriage ceremony will bo performed
at Mrs. McLean's residence. A family
party , with a few Intimate friends and many
high officials , will attend the event. No
authoritative Information Is obtainable as
to the exact date of the wedding. Cardinal
Gibbons Is away from Washington and It
Is believed Archbishop Keane , a friend of
the bride , will celebrate the marriage rites.
The archbishop Is out of the city.
The Post tomorrow will say :
"Admiral George Deiwey and Mrs. Mil
dred Hazen will probably be married today.
No annoucemcnt has been made , hut the
necessary license was procured yesterday
and arrangements for the wedding , which
will bo attended only by members of the
two families , are complete. The ceremony ,
It Is understood , will , bo 'performed at the
residence of Mrs. Wasn.lnglon McLean. Mrs.
Hazon's mother , 1705 , K street. The hour
of the ceremony depends , It Is said , upon
the return of John n. McLean , Mrs. Hazen's
brother , from Ohio. Ha Is expected In
Washington some time Thursday. The re
quired dispensation for the ceremony to
take place elsewhere than In a church was
procured yesterday and It Is asserted that
Cardinal Gibbons will be here to officiate. "

WASHINGTON , Nov. 8. The four cases ot
court-martial death sentence of soldiers In
the Philippines , which reached the War de
partment by yesterday's Manila mall , are
waiting transmission to the secretary of
war. The men under sentence are Private
Otto U. Conine , Corporal George Damphofter
and Private Peter Dennett , all of Company
B , Sixteenth Infantry , and Private William
B. Carborougb , Company B , Third Infantry.
These cases will have to go to the secretary
of war , and thence to the president for ap
proval. Executive action cannot be fore
casted , but It Is generally understood here
that In case the sentences are not commuted
by the president , it is more than likely that
the attorneys for the convicted men will
endeavor , by technical flaws In the proceed
ings , to prevent the imposition of the ex
treme penalty. U is understood also that
General Otis' approval of the sentences was
coupled with a recommendation for mercy.
To malto this recommendation the general
would have to approve the sentence , as he
has the right to disapprove the sentence
in tote , but not to mitigate It.

LADIES' GREATEST FRIEND.
. . , , , Westville , Ills. , Feb. 4 , J899.
I feel that I most say a few words in praise of the ladies' greatest friend , McEIree's Wine of
Cardui. It is the most wonderfol that I have
remedy ever tried. I have been a sofferer for years , at
TfjaBBVLT
Wliat an awful strain on the nerves continued menstrual suffering is 1 After awhile it becomes unbearable. Mrs. Cooley
spent one day in ten in bed , suffering terrible pain. But Wine of Cardui has entirely relieved her. For years she looked'fonvard
to each menstrual period with dread. For three days every month she was in agony. Now the awful enervating drains of falling
of the womb , and the acute pains in the head , back , and lower limbs have been completely banished by Wine of Cardui. Mrs.
Cooley is well and she speaks of Wine of Cardui as "ladies' greatest friend" because it cured her and removed the shadow from her
life. Thousands of women today are suffering as Mrs. Cooley did. They are silent sufferers heroines in the cause of modesty.
Wine of Cardui will relieve their dragging pains. It will do that in the privacy of their own homes , To try Wine of Cardui is to
be cured by it. That is what every woman who has tried it says.
