HEAVY TRAINS TO THE COAST Lut of Travelers, on Colonist Bates Fast Through Omaha. peated. This theory gains no general sup port among railroaders, however. SEASON ENDS WITH RECORDS BROKEN Hack Speculation Among; Railroad Officials as to Whrs the Nest Colonist Rat Will Us Into Effect. Joyce and Clark Bound Over. PAPILLION, Neb., Msy 2. (Special Tele gram.) Tom Joyce and John Clark, who were arrested and charged with the murder Of Edward Wood near Fort Crook on the evening of April 20, were arraigned before Judge Wilson last Monday and each pleaded not guilty and their hearing waa aet for Thursday. The prisoners were brought Into court yesterday morning. The examlnatiou of about fifty witnesses took all day and part of ths night, and all this forenoon, and after weighing the testimony Judge Wilson bound them over to the district court. After a continuous aale for two months the colonist rates for west coast points ex pired laat Wednesday, leaving behind them a record of a passenger traffic so enormous that the otal haul la fully double that of any prevloua year under similar ratea. Now paaaenger and. operating officials of ths dif ferent transcontinental railroada intimately concerned In thla colonist travel are specu lating as to whether such a rate will ever again be established, and If ao, whether It will be for a shorter or longer time of sale. The effect of the colonist rstes has been felt by Omaha railroada from their Incep tion, but the laat gaap was by all means the most strenuous. This came yesterday when the people who had bought their tickets on the lsst dsy of sale at points farther eaat were Just coming through Omaha. It seems that many cross-country-to-stsy travelers delayed their journey till the last minute and the result was that yes terday's colonist business through Omaha excelled that of any prevloua day, not ex ceptlng the beginning day cf the rate. The visible effect her was that Burlington No. I. westbound, bsd to be run out In two sec- .. tlons and that every one of the three long Vnlon Paclfio through tralna to the coast , carried from one to three extra coaches, and that every car on each train was loaded to the guards. Just now the statua and time of ths next colonist rate la causing puch discussion. Th two months' continuous sale just ended was an entirely new method, as In 1901 col onist tickets were sold only on Tuesdays The new plan baa proved far more aatlsfsc tory, for It has served to distribute the business more evenly. This one point was really the reason for making the aale date continuous, and It was from the operating departments of the roada that th demand for such an arrangement came. One prominent official said he would not be surprised to see the colonists' rata in effect again next fall. "We'll kick on that," said another. - "W want to do a paying business a email part of th year, at leaat. It'a bad enough to haul thousands of people west at a eeat a mile In the spring, without doubling up oa It and running the rats again In th fall." Should this fall rat b put la It will be th first time. It Is $25 from the Missouri river and $3$ from Chics ro. "Probably 60,000 people wer carried to California, Oregon and Waahingtoa en eol on 1st rate by all roada during March aa April." said another official. "They cam from all over the country. Nebraska giving Its share. Thla did not deplete the popula tlon In this stats any. however, tor horn esters' rates wer la effect during the same period, and th people who cam tato Nebraska oa those far outnumber those whs went out aa colonists. This aomeseegera rat obtalaa oa th first and third Tuesday of every month, and' It brings us people irosa Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and low chiefly. This rat has at ba disoantln ed. and I expect to see it carried oa for several months yet," , Another metal bllevs that th animus against th rat Is so strong with several of th larger railroada latretd that th fpropoaiuoa auy e a.Ul4 and never rs- Vlsitors to New York will find the Hotel Empire, Broadway and 63d street, a quiet and select hotel at moderate rates.

Miller's attorneys did not con- alder that this could be dona and took an exception, on which they will hang part of their caae should they be defeated her and forced to take It Into th supreme court. When the hearing Is resumed Monday the first move of the Incumbent will be to attack the sufficiency of Unltt's bonds and secure a ruling on a point that Is K dispute between the attorneys of the respective sides. The first bond filed by Unltt was his contest bond to cover the costs Incurred In county court, and the 1 goers to It were W. J. Broatch and former Sheriff John H. McDonald. He lost there and appealed to the district court, filing an appeal bond signed by John H. Butler, formerly a city hall attache. Broatch and McDonald, It Is told, now affirm that when the appeal bond waa filed they were relieved of any further respon slblllty and can be held for only the costs Incurred In county court, which amount to something more than $100. Miller's at. torneya take the other view, that Broatch and McDonald are held with Butler for the district court costs, and base their argu ment on aectlon 82, chapter xxvl, which reads: The contestant must file a bond, with se curity, to be approved by the clerk of the court or county judge, aa tne case may ne, conditioned to pay all costs In case the election be confirmed, the complaint dla missea or tne prosecution rail. "Now that section." commented Attorney Abbott, "doesn't say anything about the bond applying only t county court costs and I contend It means them all. But should the court decide otherwise we shall thsn attack the sufficiency of Butler's bond Piling up againat this bond are costs which cannot amount to less than $1,000 and which I believe will be mor than $2,600. The witnesses draw $2 per day for every day they appear In court and there will be very nearly If not quit 500 of them. This Is a matter In which we cannot afford to be careless, as Miller haa to advance th money to pay these witnesses and then de pend on recovering from I'nltt after the contest is defeated. "At present, I understand fellow demo crats In offic are making up a purs to assist Mr. Miller In meeting this expense, but the source of Unltt's revenue Is a mys tery to me, unless It Is Dave Mercer's cam paign fund. To me. It appears that some body must be very anxious to get a hold on the county clerk's offic for future us. Children Like It. "My little boy took the croup one night," says F. D.

PETITIONS ARE NOT LIENS fudge Keysor Reverses Previous Rulings in Faring Cases, SAVES CITY CONSIDERABLE LITIGATION Court Holds thnt Slarnatares of Both Husband and Wife Are I'n neces sary to Petitions for Local i Improvements. The following; births and deaths have Health during the twenty-four hours ending . of Ann Johnson against the city of The legal department of the city la elated over a decision of Judge Keysor wherein the Judge virtually reverses all previous holdings of the district court by sustaining a petition for grading and pav ing of William street over the protest of a property owner who attacks the suffi ciency of the petition. The case la that Friday noon Births Edward Comers, 1903 South Twenty-tlrBt street, boy: FreO J. Adams. 3264 Farnam street, boy; Harry Weldner, ima umario street, girt.

In this, as In many cases previously filed, the plaintiff has attacked the petition In what has been heretofore Its most vulnerable point by raising the "homestead" question. i The contention has been that a petition for street Improvements constitutes a Hen against shutting property, and If any of this property happens to be homesteads It must be signed by both the husband and wife. Substance of the Ruling;. The substsnce of Judge Keysor's ruling follows: The court, however, specially finds that the petition of the property owners in Im provement district 566 was In all respects sufficient to give the council Jurisdiction to order the paving, curbing and guttering in said district 566 and that the petition of the property owners Hied with the city clerk, presented to the city council, ask ing for the grading of said William street In grading district No. 72, was In all re spects sufficient and valid and gave the council Jorlsdlctlon to order said grading and levy assessments against the property in said district therefor. The court further finds as a matter of law that the provisions of the statute re lating to the pinning and execution of en cumbrances upon homesteads do not apply to the signing of petitions for special im provements and further finds as a matter of law that the petitions of property own ers for special Improvements provided for by the charter in cities of the metropolitan class are not encumbrances within the meaning of said homestead act. Will gave Fntare Trouble. "Th effect of this ruling will be to clear up much litigation now pending In similar cases," said Assistant City 'Attorney Mor gan, "aad will probably save the legal de partment much trouble In the future. It has only been within the last year that we have been havlnn both husband and wife Biffn such nettHnmt. aari thla waa riitni nnt because we thought the law required It, but because we wanted to avoid trouble. In order to make the point perfectly clear w shall probably try to get a supreme court ruling on the same question. "This 'homestead' point has always been the weakest point in such petitions and It has given the city a great deal of trouble." Admiral Schley In Mlaalaslppl. MERIDIAN, Miss.. May 2.

Th iasuM lavolved wer sJaUlax aad U Jud fr- iaCV Every physician of large practice has had the experience of being called on to attend women wno imagined that they were in the last stages of some dire female malady, when upon examination the fact was revealed that obstructed physiology of the stomach or bowels was the whole cause of the trouble. The physician, however, who has not had experience may fall into the error of diagnosing grave diseases of the female system when they do not exist, because disorders of the bowels may be neglected until they give many of the appearances of ' female disease. The bowels have been known to become so clogged with hardened contents as to produce a condition closely resembling uterine displacement, uterine prolapse (falling of the womb) and the sick headache which is often attributed to female diseases is most often actually due to some trouble in the digestive machinery involving the liver, stomach, bowels or the great " Solar Plexus," which is the central telegraph station from which nervous messages are transmitted to and from all the organs in the abdominal cavity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and Herb Laxative Compound quickly corrects the congested conditions referred to above, headache, constipation, sa'low complexions disappear and the glow of health is upon you.
