LINCOLN, Feb. 16,-Spoclal.)-Thc Uni
versity Hoard of Regents adjourned at noon
todoy to meet next April and there Is every
iodlcstlon that a permanent chancellor will
lie chosen at that time to succeed Acting
Chancellor Hosscy, who desired to rctlro
from the executive olUce nf the Institution
and return to his former position at the
head of th department of botany. It w.i
the Intention of the regents to make a se
lection at the meeting which adjourned to
day, but owing to the absence of two mem
bers of the board the matter was deferred
until the next meeting. In his report to
the board Dr. Hesscy requested the rc
gmtH to appoint his successor as soon an
possible and there, appears tu be no disposi
tion on the part of the board to delay nc.
tlon any longer than In absolutely necessary.
Superintendent Wolfo of South Omaha,
formerly a profefsor In the State university,
was In tho city yesterday and while hero
held a consultation with several popooratlc
members of tho board. Mr. Wolfe's name
has been mentioned In connection with the
chancellorship nf tho Institution, but on
account of a decided opposition to his selec
tion whlrh ban developed among the mem
ber!) of the faculty It Is not probable that
tho regentrf will attempt to plarc him lit
the position now held by Dr. Ilessey. An
finer plan suggested by tho friends of the
ex-professor la to havo him reinstated In
1.1 former position In the university and
to promote him to tho chancellorship after
wards nhotild n vacancy occur In that posi
tion. Millie minder CmnliiK In I'oree.

Coventor I'oynter has been asked to make
nil attempt to secure the discharge ot
Ilenjamin Roinmo of lldyvHle, now serving
with the British army in the Transvaal,
(inmmo is said to be n naturalized citizen of
the United State. Thoso who are asking
for his release assert that he wan seized
whiln in Kngland anil forced Into the British
military service. Not hovlng bis naturallza
ton papers with him at tho time, he could
not prove that ho was a citizen of the United
Slates. This story Is not believed at the
ftatehnuse, for tho reason that there Is no
such thing as compulsory enlistment In
Kngland. Governor I'oynter will refer the
request to Congressman Neville, who will
be asked to lay the case beforo the proper
authorities In Washington. In commenting
upon this, a popocrntlc paper In western
Nebraska said the incident served as a
practical Illustration to show what might
bo the result should Imperialism reign In

to the amount of $3,062.38, wns tiled this
morning with United States Commissioner
Illlllngslcy and a warrant for his arrest
was at onco Issued. This warrant was
placed In the hands of Deputy United States
Marshal Moore, who brought Simmons to
this city at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
Simmons was appointed postmaster at
Seward In February, 1M8. Previous to that
time ho bad for yenrs been the editor of the
Seward Reporter. It Is learned here that
Simmons had been In financial trouble for
some time and not long ago ho came tu
Lincoln for the purpose of sitinrlnr up
some old matters. Postotllce Inspectors Sin
clair and Swltt have been nt work on the
cbso for several weeks and Wednesday In
spector Sinclair went to Seward and In
stituted a thorough investigation ot Sim
mons' books. The investigation showed
that a large shortage existed, both In the
money order and in the postal fund, thn,
latter representing the sales of stnmrs and
tho rentals of boxes. Sinclair at once con
fronted tho iwstmastcr nnd demanded an
explanation, but Simmons could give nono.
Ho admitted that ho had urcd the money,
hut asserted that he could mako good tin
shcrtago if a little time were grantee:.
Ho said he had used the. money to pay ot?
personal debts.
Tho Inspector laid the matter beforo tho
bendsmen of the postmaster nn1 askeil
them to name some man whom they desired
to take temporary charge of the office.
Dnvld It. Flgard was appointed to tnku
ehnrgo of the nlllce, but he died frctn n
sudden stroke of heart failure Immediately
after he left his home and John Woods,
one of tho bondsmen, was selected In his
place.
Tho shortage of Postmaster Simmons cov
ers a considerable period. In tho money
order department It amounts to 2,160.07
and In tho postal fund to J6ol.ll. Only
by the most Ingenious system of book
keeping was ho able to prevent the shortags
from becoming known sooner.
Simmons was brought boforo Commis
sioner Illlllngslcy this afternoon, but wns
not arraigned, his ease being continued un
til next Monday afternoon. Ills bond was
llxed at $2,500. U. S. Norval and II. II. Wil

Pension Kxnmiuer Sues of this city has
Kiicccded In unraveling a somewhat peculiar
ease njion which he has been working. Some
time) ago nn old soldier named Wesley Arm
field died at Lemars, In. Ills widow, Mrs.
Mary Armlleld. made application for n
widow's pension, only to be Informed hy
the pension bureau that another woman, re
siding at Jiiiiesvllle, Wis., had put In n
similar claim, alleging also to bo tho widow
of Wesley Armtleld. The applications wero
referred to Examiner Sues for an Investiga
tion. He discovered that Armlleld married
the Wisconsin applicant many years ago,
but that the cnuplo had been divorced In
1SS0. In 18S2 Armlleld nilliied Miss Mary
Freuchtennlcht at Lemars, and lived with
her up to the time of his death. Tho Wis
consin applicant denies tho legality of tho
divorce, and rets up a claim of being the
rightful widow. However, tho records of
the court at lemars show that thn divorce
was properly granted, and It Is probable that
the lemars applicant will bo succeful In
scouring the pension.

HON. JOHN V. VUI;
John V. Wright, Iiw Department, Gen
eral Lnnd Offlco of Tennessee, In n letter
written from Washington, D. C, says tho
following of Peruna for catarrh:
"I havo used Peruna In tuy family and can
cheerfully recommend It ns being all you
represent, and wish every one who Is sinter
ing with catarrh, general debility or pros
tration could know of it. I would advlso
all such to take It In time nnd forestall tho
terrible consequences. I regard it ns a
most valuable remedy and most cheerfully
recommend It."
ifr. Ed Sheehan, 370 Avenue "D," Ilayonne,
N. J., says:
"I am thirty-eight years old, a machinist,
and havo been troubled with my stomach
for twenty years. I could not sleep well.
My btoniach always felt heavy nfter eating.
I was very nervous; would Jump If'I hoard
anything fall. 1 have now takui four bot
tles of Peruna nnd havo gained lifteen
pounds in three months. 1 can cat mo
ttling I want now. as I could when n boy."
Many people thlik that catarrh Is confined
to the head, aiid perhaps occasional cases of
catarrh o' the stomnch. This Is very far
from being the case. Every organ, duct
and opening of the body Is lined with mil-,
cous membrane and Is Hnblo to catarrh or
inflammation. One man has cntarrh of the '
eye; anothercntarrh ot tho bronchial tubes, I
another catarrh of tho kidneys; another ca
tarrh of tho bladder. I
