LINCOLN. July .11. (Special.) Calls
Were Issued this afternoon for meetings
of the democratic and populist atate cen
tral committees in this city on the after
noon of July 18. The two committees will
meet separately, but mar later In the day
hold a joint session. The populists will
elect a chairman and secretary for their
committee. . .
A resolution was passed by the state
convention In Orand Island, making pro
vision for the organisation of a Joint cam
paign committee to consist of a democrat
. and a populist , from each congressional
district.
"I don't know .whether or not the Joint
committee will be organized," said Charles
Q. DeKrance, chairman of the populist
committee, when questioned this afternoon.
"The atate committers may accept the Idea
and they may not. I can say, however,
that we are going to have a campaign.
Nothing else has been decided thus far."
There has been aome talk recently of
re-establishing the democratic headquar
ters in Omaha. The populists favor Lin
coln and wHl strenuously oppose the Idea
of following the democrats anywhere. Last
year the two committees maintained joint
headquarters, but it Is not likely that the
arrangement will he continued this year.
The republican atate central committee
has been called to meet at the headquarters
la this city on the night of July 17. The
meeting will be held for tha purpose of dis
cussing, and formulating plans for the cam
paign. - Opinion on Faro FoodV
The opinion of the supreme court ' sus
taining the pure food law was written by
Judge Holcomb. The holding is:
The provisions of the act of the legisla
ture of 1K, being chapter xxxv ths-ieof.
creating a food commission, making the
- governor food commits oner, providing for
the appointment Of a deputy food commis
sioner and defining the duties of tho. officers
ui nrnvirieri for. does not contravene the
provisions of section 26. article v, of the
. i .... i i. 1 .. i. a- 4ntMHa
other executive state office shall' be con
tinued or created and the duties now de
vntvinv unnn nfflrer not provided for bv
this constitution shall be performed by the
officers Herein createa.
Nor does the act conflict with aeetlon 2,
article vllt, of the constitution, declaring
"that no bill shall contain more than one
subject."
Where a part of an act has been declared
'invalid and the remainder la complete and
perfect in all Its parts and U capable .st
execution It will bo- upheld and enforced
unless It Is apparent that the invalid part
was an Inducement to the adoption of the
remainder.
Held, that the part of the act tinder con
sideration relating to an attempted nppro
nrlatlnn for the salary of the deputy food
commissioner, which has been declared In
valid, was not an inducing element to ine
passage or tne remainder or. me act.
The food commission law was paased by
the legislature three yearg ago. One of
the paragraphs of the bill, besides provid
ing for tha appointment' of a deputy com
missioner, sought to make provision for
the salary of tha officials and attaches of
tho department. The supreme court two
years ago declared the appropriation fea
ture Invalid because the paragraph con
tained mors than ons subject. Tho error
wa corrected by the laat legislature, when
separate prqvjsipn was-, made for the sala
ries ana expenses. or. ue: department, ;
Jury Overdid Thins.
Tho supreme court has decided against
tha young colored man, A. Worden Haynes,
who prosecuted a suit for $2,500 damages
against the, proprietors of the Ltud-U
hotel. His claim was baaed oa the refusal
of the defendants to allow him to ride on
tha elevator in their hotel,.. In the district
court of Lancaster county Haynes recov
ered Judgment for 1500V The supreme
court reverses the order. ' The opinion Is
by Commissioner Barnes. The holding of
law is that in a suit for damages tho giv
ing of an instruction which In substance
Informs the jury that if, from the evidence
they find for the plaintiff, they will fix
his damages at such sura, within the
amount claimed, which' is $2,600, as they
think he has sustained by reason of facts
alleged in his petition; and which thus
eliminates ths consideration of the evi
dence in fixing the amount of recovery. Is
reversible error. As to this particular
case the court holds that the verdict re
turned by the Jury is excessive.
Ths question of the 'man's color did sot
enter Into th consideration la the decision
of this case. The Judgment was reversed
on two grounds, 'one being that tha court
trred la giving the Instruction referred to
and the other-that the verdict as returned
a excessive.
Worden was an employe of the republican
itata headquarters. He alleged In his pe
tition that the refusal of the hotel propri
etors to allow him to rids on their, elevator
deprived him of lucrative employment.

be necessary to preserve order and preserve
the public health thereon, and to eatabltsh
such Judicial tribunals as may. be agreed
thereon as may be necessary to enforce
such rules and regulations."
Rlcnts of the Inlted States.
From this portion of the act It would ap
pear that the United States alone Is to
make police and sanitary regulations for
the canal strip, and establish Judicial tri
bunals for their enforcement. Yet article
111 of the draft of the canal treaty provides
for the creation of a "Joint commission by
the governments of Colombia and the
United States that shall establish and en
force sanitary and police regulations."
Article lv of the treaty deala specifically
with the question of sovereignty, as follows:
The rights and privileges granted to the
United States by the terms of this conven
tion shall not affect the sovereignty of the
republic of Colombia over the territory
within whose boundaries such rights and
provisions are to be exercised.
The United States freely acknowledges
and recognizes this sovereignty and dis
avows any Intention to Impair In any way
whatever, or to Increase Its territory at the
expense of Colombia or of any of the sister
republics in Central or South America, but
on the contrary It desires to strengthen
the power of the republics on this conti
nent and then promote, develop and main
tain their prosperity and Independence.
Terms to Be Definite.
Briefly summing up. it appears to be th
task now before the parties to the pro
posed convention to define with absolute
clarity the extent and limits of control,
or Joint control, to be exercised over the
canal strip. For while control Is not sov
ereignty in the common sense of the term,
yet in practice the two often merge so
closely as to defy identification arM it has
all along been recognized that any pro
vision of the treaty which threatens in any
measure the sovereignty of the South
American republic over the eanal land will
not' be acceptable to the Colombian con
gress. Minister Concha has been in poor health
during the spring and summer and con
templates a Journey but of town to re
cuperate in the near future. It la confi
dently hoped that th treaty may be
signed before his departure.

"I take pleasure in recommending your Peruna to anyone sufferinit;
with catarrh. I am fully aware of its excellent curative qualities."
GEO. E. HARRIS.

Catarrh in Any Form.
Tou have chronic'' catarrh, have you?
You have had it asm tlmeT And could
not find a cur) ' Well, there are thou
sands more like you in this country. It
the slightest vestlgo of the catarrh re
mains over daring the hot weather It will
begin to make itself felt now. It you
really want to get cured this Is the way
to do It.
Get a bottle of Peruna and take a table
spoonful between each meal and at bed
time. When you have continued this for
thirty days sit down and write a letter
to Dr. Hartman. .. Columbus. O. Tell him
exactly your symptoms; how long you have
bad catarrh; what effect the medicine has
had on you. He will answer your letter
promptly telling you what to do further.
He will make no charge. And If you will
continue to write to the doctor you are
sure to get cured. Some cases take longer
than others. Perhaps the average length of
time It takes to cure a genuine case of
catarrh is three months. Some get cured
much quicker than this. Stubborn cases
may require longer treatment. Tim or
trouble ought to be no barrier to one
afflicted with thla dreadful disease.

illustrated 64-page book on chronic ca
tarrh in all stages and location, free of

WASHINOTON, July 11. The negotia
tions now In progress at the Vatican re
specting the friars and their lands will not
fall. Of that the administration officials
her feel certain. It was realized at the
beginning, when Governor Taft's Instruc
tions were framed, that they represented
tb extreme of our claims, and that they
did not preclude tb idea of reasonable
compromise by mutual concessions. Tbs
negotiation ar progressing In this spirit.
The United States government will not se
cure everything it desired, because, even
If the pops wer disposed to concede these
things, th negotiations have developed the
fact that although hla power la theoretically

I tried a great many blood and catarrh
medicines without any visible results, until
after hearing about Peruna. I decided to
give It a trial. I commenced to us it about
four months ago. I now have a fine appe

greatly benefited by Teruna."

"I would like to tell you what Peruna
has done for me. I had catarrh of tho

I tried every medicine available, but could
secure no relief. I commenced to take
Peruna, and It waa like a charm. It not
