LINCOLN. Feb. 11. (8peclal telegram.)
The State Board of Educational Land!
and Funda bai decided by a majority voU!
to pint the application of Alexander Blair
and seventeen other for government deeda
to homesteads In Boyd county. According
to tba term of the aettlement the land la
to be released to the general government,
from which It may be afterward recovered
by the p relent occupanta.
Land Commissioner Folmer resisted the
aettlement on the ground that the home
steads are atate land and cannot be re
linquished. The deeda cannot be executed
unieaa aigned by the land commissioner,
and It la likely that official will withhold
his approval pending receipt of an opinion
by the attorney general. Tha matter haa
long been In dlapute and an extended ar
gument wsji Indulged In at a meeting of
the board last week and again today by tha
representatives of the homesteaders, who
are seeking to hare tha landa deeded to
the government.'
Bible tat Pnblle Schools.
John H. Llndale of Oage county haa ap
peared a a friend of the supreme court In
the caae of the Bute ex ret Freeman against
John Schev and other dlrectora of a
Gag county school district. He bega leave
to call attention to the danger which he
aaya threatena the rights of a large body
of people who constitute an Integral part
of the cltlsenshlp. the membership of a
great church. Mr. Llndale refera to the
Roman Catholics.
Tha caae In Vhtch Mr. Llndale appears
arose from an application! In the district
court of Gars county for an order re
training the authorltiea from causing the
certain aectlona and veralona of the bible
to be read In the public achoola.
Mr. Llndale begins his argument by as
setting that the aeparatlon of the church
and atate In thla country la the result of a
compromise. He aaya: .
"When the constitution was formed.
there were Congregattonallsta in New Eng
land, Dutch Reformers In New. York, Luth
erans In New Jersey, Quaker In Pennsyl
vania, Cathollos In Maryland. Methodists In
Oeorgla, CalvtnlsU In South Carolina. Epla
copailana In Virginia, and everything and
what not In North Carolina. In order
that all should be on an equal footing, It
was provided that congress should make no
law respecting an eatabliahment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Thla waa the first amendment, the first
article of the "BUI of Rights,' aa the first
ten amendment have been styled. Under
thla "Bill of Right" under this provision.
'every denomination acquired vested rights.
Thla spirit of toleration gradually filtered
down Into our atate constitutions, till It haa
become the genius of pur Institutions.
"Our owi state constitution provide:
" A1 persons liav a natural and inde
feasible right to worahtp Almighty God so
cording to the dicta tea of their own con
science. No person shall be compelled to
attend, ereot or support any place of wor
ahlp against his consent, and no preference
shall ' be given by law to any religious
. society, nor shall any Interference with the
right of conscience b permitted.'
"Compslaory education -haa been, (a- force
In thla state from time immemorial. . I have
but to refer to the act of March SO, 1901,
to aubdlvlalon xvl of chapter Ixxlx, of tha
Compiled Statutes of 1891, and the other
links la the ohaln.
"If the bible la need In publlo schools. If
hymne are aung, and If children are com
pelled to attend acbool, you compel attend
ance at a place of' worship, which la con
trary to. tha state constitution. Hymna are
but prayers In meter.
"But the bible, you Bay, la common to all
Christians. The Catholic yields to no one
la his reverence for the Word of God. In
a recent editorial In the New York Sun the
following paragraph appeara:
" 'Aa It Is bow, the pope Is the sole, bold,
positive and uncompromising champion of
the bible aa the word of God.'
"The Cat hollo church has condemned the
so-called 'high criticism,' which la nothing
but Tom Paine In a parson's cassock. Tho
Catholic must take hi gospel straight with
no augar-ooatlng. or let him be anathema.
"But we do not purpose to have Jamee
Stuart'a tranalatlon forced down our throat
without a protest. It would savor of pe
dantry and would serve no useful purpose
to point out the difference between King
Jamee' veraloa and the Douay edition.
"We are not ssklng to have the Douay
edition read la our publlo school. We do
not think It proper. If we did. what a
bowl would go up all over the land. The
arrogance of Rome!' It doea make a differ
enoe whose ox la being gored. 'Orthodox
la my doxy and heterodoxy la your doxy'
has been the song of every religious tyrant
from Jew-burning Torquemada to witch
burning Cotton Mather."
la closing, Mr. Llndale remarks: "The
gods of Olympus are back numbers. No
body believes In ' them. It la safe to ay
that for fourteen centurlea nobody haa.
The difference between Homer and tha
bible la the difference between a dead wire
and a. live wire. You cannot disassociate
' any version of the bible from religion

BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN
Made Well and Strong by Pe-ru-no.
A Letter from a Grateful Mother to
Dr. S. B. Hartman.
Mrs. O. W. Heard, of Howth. Texas,
writes to Dr. Hartman In regard to her
baby girl, Ruth:
'My little ulrl was two years old
In January. had aome derange
ment of tho bowels. She ws a
mere skeleton and we did not think
ahe would ever get well. She had
been sick three or tour months, and
after giviug her less than one bottle
of Peruna she was sound and well.
1 found the Peruna splendid for
wind colic, with which she whs
troubled, when she began to im.
prove in strength and appearance.
Now she has a good appetite and is
a picture of health.
Mrs. Heard also writes In regard to her
son, Carl:
"Mv ton'i ears had been affected !
since he was it babe only a few
months old. He seemed to have
risings in his head. He wou id be
very fretful for several days, then
his cars would run profusely what
anrered to be corruption, ineiasi
year I thought he had almost lost
his hearing and had a local physN
clan treating him for about six
weeks. He pronounced mm wen
and for a few weeks he was not
troubled, but since that time the din
charge from his curs was almost
constant and very offensive. Final
ly 1 began giving him your remeayi
and after he had taken two bottles,
he wis entirely cured, l cannot
praise Peruna enough."

it would not let me rest day or night. I
got so weak and prostrated and nervous
that I could hardly stand alone and I waa
all broken up. My system aeemed to be
all deranged.
"Finally I thought I would take anything
to be cured, so I went and got a bottle of
Peruna and commenced to take It. I took
two bottle and my cough was gone anl
my lungs loosened up and my head became
clear. Then I could both hear and smell
and the pain left my stomach and limb. I
want you to know the grippe had me In
stead of me having the grippe, and my little
girl took the aame way.
