To avoid this he has csked alt of hln teach

185 and the third to contain alt with a grade
from 70 to 77. I)y this plan each pupil
could be retained in his proper sphere and
Lang at onco ran to thc main otllce, where
he found Stewart, McEnteo nnd tho posse
already In possession. Running through the
party In the olllce, thc doctor placed his back
against thc door leading to the private otneo
and asked the Intruders what they wanted.
He was Informed that they had come after
the records of thc lnstltuto In the name of
Stewnrt bh steward, and the constable then
produced n writ of replevin, which was read
to the doctor. Dr. Lang says that Immedi
ately after reading the writ to him tho con
stable Informed him that he was under ar
rest. Dr. Lang then asked why and was told
that It was for resisting an ofTlcer.
Dr. Lang says that he stated to the ofTlcer
that he had not to his knowledge realsted
anybody, and that If tho books were what
thoy were after they would bo found on top
of the safe. He, however, refused them en
trance to thc pilvate office, whero his own
personal effects were, Informing them that
the contents were private property and that
the office contained nothing called for In the
writ of replevin. About this time. It Is
claimed, some one took hold of the doctor
and tried to force blm away from the door
to tho Inner office. Mrs. Lang, who was pres
ent, screamed for axslstanco and begged the
bystanders not to let them force Dr. Iang
from the building. While the doctor was In
the clutches of somo of the po3so Mrs. Lang,
assisted by Mrs. Alvord and Mrs. De Wolf,
employes of the Institute, tried to pull the
doctor away from his captors. Mrs. Lang
threw her arms around his neck and tugged
away In opposition to Constable Grimes,
whllo Mrs. Alvord tried to unclasp Grimes'
liatid from around the doctor's throat. Dur
ing lhe meleo someone handled Mrs. Alvord
rather roughly, fracturing tho tittle Anger
on her left hand. McEntce, It Is claimed,
grabbed Mrs. Lang by thu shoulders and
tried to force her to the floor, and In the
struggle her ankle was severely wrenched.

was hard for him to maintain a footing on

Miss nradburn also carries an Imprint
about one of her arms caused, so It Is
stated, by one of tho posse. One or two
of the male attendants also took a hand In
thc affair and were to bo found on both
sides of tho controversy. Donahue, the en
glnccr at the Institute, cut tho telephone
wires In two places, thus destroying com
munlcatlon with thc city, nnd beforo the
doctor could summon help It wns necessary
for Mrs. Ingcrsoll, one of tho doctor's gal

out a riot warrant for McEnteo and tho
others. Whllo sho was gone It Is said that
Dr. Lang got McEntee on top of the office

that If It was desired to give him an office
he didn't caro to have a fight and a law

CASES DGFOHB HASTINGS COUHT.
Crlmlunl Sulln Arr Hclil Over Until
the N'ext Term.
HASTINGS, Neb., June 16. (Special.)
District court adjourned hero today after a
week's sitting. As there waB no Jury called
for this term, there were no criminal cases
disposed of, and all persons who wore held
to unawer at this term of court were re
quired to renew their recognizances for their
appearance at the regular Jury term, which
convenes hero November 19. One of the
cases ot Importance on tho civil docket was
tho case ot Robert A. Batty ct al against
tho City of Hastings and In known as the
"paving case." In this case Mr. Batty sought
to prevent the city from collecting tho pav
ing taxes In what Ls known as the "Socond
paving district." Tho total amount of bonds
against this paving district was $42,500, ot
which $31,000 has been paid. Tho $11,500 re
malnder falls due January 1, 1001, and Jan
uary 1, 1902. The suit was brought about
by about fifty property owners In paving dis
trict No. 2, on the ground that the paving
petition was not signed by a majority of tho
property owners of said diotrht, and that
tho paving was not continuous as required by
law, the paving district crossing sections of
other paved streets. After a hard legal bat
tle the case was decided against tho city.
Attachment proceedings were commenced
In the district court of this county In De
cember, 1803, by Bramhall Bros, against N.
J. Schlocs & Co. and garnlsheed the New
York and Boston Clothing company of this
city as a creditor of the latter. The suit re
sulted In a general scramble among thc cred
itors of Schloss & Co. and a number ot
them Intervened In this case, but the Hide
and Leather National bank by Its attorneys,
E. F. Pettis of Lincoln and L. J. Capps of
Hastings, Intervened a little harder than the
others, In a mass ot attachment, garnish
ment and injunction proceedings the case
made a trip to tho supreme court nnd tack;
the Bramhall claim was satisfied In somo
way and they dismissed their case, but this
action failed to release thc New York nud
Boston Clothing company, tho garnishee,
from Its entanglement with the lutervenor,
tho Hide and Leather National bank. After
hearing all tho evidence Judge Adams de
cided that tho position of the bank was well
takeu and entered Judgmont In Its favor.
The case will probably take another trip to
the supreme court, as tho New York and
Boston Clothing company has given notice
ot an appeal.

buttcrmaklng, because he had engaged In It
and studied It. Thc speaker then took up
thc subject In detail, told how to care for
tho milk at a given temperature, that the
cow would repay for all care given her. He
said there was no conflict between stock
men and dairymen, as both went hand In

part of the business which the former al
lowed to go to waste.
Prof. Haecker of the State university was
the next speaker and the scientific facts he
presented wero most valuable to his hearers.
An adjournment was then taken for dinner.

OFFICE OF THE WEATHER DUnEAU,
DOCTOR TOLSON,
Of thu State niectro-.Mcdkiil Institute.
Specialist in the Diseases of Men
The statement that "an ounce of gold Is werth more thun a pound of brass" may
bo variously applied. Ah an Instunci', tho true specialist, who lias given his llfo and
labor to a particular branch of his profession, thereby becoming supreme In It, Is
worth more In the treatment of cases within his specialty than n dozen ordinary
doctors who pretend to euro all diseases; worth more than barrels of patent med
icines and free trial samnles; worth more, too, tlinn all the bells, secret appliances
nnd similar devices In existence. Such Inferior treatment 1 discarded more than
a score of years iieo, nnd since then havo concentrated nil my professional en
ergies on main maladies alone have originated nnd perfected various forms ot
treatment for VARICOCELE. STRICTURE. SYPHILITIC BLOOD POISON. .SHAT
TERED NERVES nnd associate diseases nnd weaknesses of men which make their
cure nn unqualified and absolute certainly. If you are thus allllcted 1 earnestly Invito
you to call upon or write to me for full Information. A private consultation, a
careful personal examination, together with an honest and scientific opinion of your
case, will be absolutely free to you, and a perfect cure If you ilfclde to tako It, will
not cost you moro than you will bo willing to pay for tho bencllts conferred.
VARICOCELE AND ITS NEW REMEDY.
Whatever may bo the cause of Varicocele. Its Injurious effect ls well known. It de
presses the mind, weakens tho body, racks tho nervous system and ultimately leads
to u complete loss of sexual power. If you aro n victim of this dlro disease come to
my office and let me explain to you my process of trentlntr it You will then
not wonder why I have positively cured more than 700 eases of Varlcocolo during the
past twelve montns. under my treatment tne patient improves irom tne very ne
ginning. All pain instantly ceases. Horenoss and swelling iiulckly subsided. Tho
pools of stagnant blood nre forced from tho dilated veins, which rapidly assume their
normal size, strength and soundness. Alt Indications of disease and weakness vnnlsh
completely and In their stead come the pride, tho tiower and the pleasures of perfect
health and restored manhood.
STRICTURE PAINLESSLY REMOVED.
It matters net how lone you have suffered from Stricture, nor how many different
doctors have disappointed you, I will cure you Just us certnlnly as you come to tne
for treatment. I will not do it bv cutting or dilating. My treatment is new, en
tirely original with me and perfectly painless. It completely dissolves the stricture
and permanently removes every obstruction from the urinary passage. It stops
every unnatural discharge, allays all inflnmmatlon. reduces the prostnto gland when
enlarged, cleanses and hcnls the bladder and kidneys when Irritated or congested.
Invigorates the sexual organs, and restores health and soundness to every part ot the
body uffected by the disease.
SYPHILIS CURED TO STAY CURED.
On account of Its frightful hldeousness Syphilis Is commonly called the king of
all venereal dlfenses. It may be either hereditary or contracted. Once the system
Is tainted with It the dlseuso may manifest Itseir in the form of scrotum, eczema, rneu.
matlc pains, stiff or swollen Joints, eruptions or copper-colored spots on the face
or body, little ulcers In the mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen tonsils,
falling out of the hair or eyebrows nnd finally a .leprous-llko decay of the tlesh and
bone. If you have nny of theso or similar symptoms you are cordially Invited to con
sult me immediately. If I find your fears are unfounded I will quickly unburden
your mind. Hut If your constitution Is Infected with syphilitic virus I will tell you so
frankly nnd show you how to get rid of it. My special treatment for Syphilis Is prac
tically the result of my llfo work and Is endorsed by tho best physicians of America
and Europe. It contains no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines nf any kind. It
goes to tho very bottom of tho dlsenso tind forces out every nartlclc of impurity.
Soon every sign and symptom of Syphilis disappears completely and forever. Tho
blood, the tissue, the tlesh, the liones nnd tho whole system are cleansed, purified
and restored to perfect health and tho patient prepared anew for tho duties and
pleasures ot life.
NERVOUS DEBILITY CURED.
Men, many ot you nre now reaping the result of your former folly. Your manhood
Is falling nnd will soon be lost unless you do something for yourself. There Is no
tlmo to lose. Impotency. like all sexual diseases. Is never on the standstill. With It
you can make no compromise. Either you must master It or It will master you
and lilt your wholo future with misery and Indescribable woe. I have treated so
manv cases of this kind that I am as familiar with them as you are with the very
daylight. Once cured by me you will never again be buthered with drains, pre
mntureness. small or weak organs, nervousness, falling memory, loss of ambition or
other symptoms which rob you of your manhood nnd absolutely unlit you for study,
business, pleasuro or marriage. My treatment for weak men will correct all thess
evils and restore you to what nature Intended a hale, healthy, happy man, with phy
sical, mental and sexual powers complete.
ALL REFLEX DISEASES DISAPPEAR.
In curing an ailment of any kind I never fall to remove nil retlex complications or
associate diseases, if the cose Is Varicocele tho weakness caused by It disap
pears. If It Is structure and has developed Into Prostatic, Bladder or Kidney af
fections tho injured organs aro all restored to n perfectly healthful condition. If It
Is Syphilis, any and all Skin, Blood and Hone Diseases arising from the taint aro
entirely and permanently eliminated from the system. It It 1b Impotency tho many
distressing symptoms following In Its train and indicating u prematuro decline or
physical, mental and sexual power aro totally removed and rapidly teplaced by tho
youthful energy of robiiHt manhood. llencu all resulting Ills nnd rellex compli
cations, which may be properly termed nssoclato diseases, and which, In fact, nrn
often moro serious than tho original ailment that gives rise to them all, 1 say,
disappear completely and forever with the euro of tho main malady.
