LINCOLN. Oct. 11. (Special.) Local to
bacco dealers arc earnestly agitating an
organization for the purpoia of fighting tho
exactions of tbe trust. None of them, how
ever, win talk openly for publication for
fear that the trust will execute reprisals
upon them, but If all of the Jobbers can be
Induced to Join In the movement the trust
It going to hare hard tlmea ahead In Lin
coln. Said one of the men who la leading
the movement:
"Just now the retailer does not eeem to
be so much at the merer of the troet aa the j
jobber, who la aa much the slave of the
tniat ai if he had mortgaged hi. existence.
Bo completely doea the trust dominate the
market that It 1. a privilege to be able to
buj of It, and the trust I. making the ut
most possible out of the fact. It doea not
wait for its Jobbing customers to bur of It
Just what they mar want, but It Insists
upon selling them Just what it wants them
to buy whether tbey want it or not. There
are eight cr ten Jobbing houses in Lincoln
that buy largely of the trust, and for each
of them the trust has fixed a figure rep
resenting the amount of goods that must
bo bought during each four months of the
year. For one firm the amount is fixed at
$20,000, which meana that the yearly sales
of trust goods by that Arm must reach
180,000. For another Jobbing house the
amount Is 112.000 for each four months, for
another $10,000, for two houses the figure
la $8,000 each, for another $5,000 and so on
down the list. This amount taust actually
be sold If the Jobber would enjoy the re
bate which the trust allows, and which af
fords practically the only profit on many
of Its good..
llaa a Clarh as Salea.
"The trust maintains eight traveling
aleemen In this state who make the Job
bing houses quite often. When they visit
a Jobbing house they do not inquire what
rood, the Jobber want. Tbey ask rather
how much of the quarterly allotment of to
bacco or cigars the particular Jobbing houae
baa bought during the quarter, and If It Is
hot already up to the trust requirements,
the agent simply declare, that he will send
In an order for a big bunch of stuff of his
own choosing. The dealer I. not at liberty
to dissent, but must take thlnga aa they
come. In this way some of them are kept
loaded up i goods for which he Is
charged on the company's books, and be
must meet the bills when they come or be
is decapitated. Failure to meet one's bills
meana erasure from the list of the trust's
patron., and If one Jobber la so fortunate aa
to sell the required amount and claims his
rebate he must not only wait montba before
be recelvea It, but he la apt to And his al
lotment at once shoved up so that his sale,
may not reach the allotment thereafter.
By means of holding back these rebate, for
month, the trust Js able to practically do
business on funds that really belong to Its
customers.
"For Instance, it 1. stated that the allot
ment of one wholesale house in Omaha Is
$200,000 for every four months, or $50,000 a
month. The estimated rebate on this
amount is about $8,000, which la withheld
for some month. With modey of thi. eort
belonging to every Jobbing houae in the
country in it. hands, the trust does not
have to have much capital of Its own upon
which to do business.
Retailer Cants Neat.
"But it 1. not alone the Jobber that is
harassed. The retailer I. getting hi. eye.
opened to the methods of trust operation,
not yet so much in the west a. In the
east. It Is evidently the Intention of the
trust to put the Jobber first out of busi
ness and then the retailer. In New York
the trust opened up over 400 cigar stores,
electing the very best location., buying
out some of the old dealera. and where
they refused to sell, forcing them by ruin
ous competition or by renting their placea
of business away from them. In Chicago
the trust bas opened sixty atorea, paying
rental, therefor aggregating $136,000 a
year. If It found a dealer with a good lo
cation It would go to the owner and se
cretly agree to take the place at tho cloae
of the dealer', lease at a rental double
that which he had been paying. It It found
a dealer who waa obdurate It would open
a store In hi. Immediate neighborhood and
for a time conduct ruinous competition,
selling standard brand, of Its cigar, at
one-firth the price at which he could sell
them. It 1. now seeking retail .tore. In
many western cities, and local dealer, deem
it but a matter of a short time until It
hall invade Lincoln.
"There I. but one way to fight It, and
that la to quit buying trust-made good,
and give the trade of the country to inde
pendent manufacturers. Thla movement
fcaa originated In Chicago and a branch
was organized aeveral day. ago In Omaha,

BEAVER CITT. Neb.. Oct 81. (Special.)
Statements have appeared In print re
garding the election in which Judge Non-la,
republican candidate for congress in the
Fifth district, waa accused of being the
beneficiary of election frauds. Judge Welty,
who waa hla opponent in that campaign.
haa Issued the following open letter over
his own signature, which effectually dis
poses of the charge:
To the Voters of the Fifth Congressional
District: It la evident from some of the
Insinuations and innuendoes contained in
some of the democratic papers In this con
gressional aistnct that an attempt Is being
made to cause the people to believe that
uilge .Noma mu guilty or fraud In oft-
nlning the office ot district Judge the first
ime he was a candidate tor that position.
making this charge they appear to be
partially influenced by friendliness to me
nd appear to nave sympathy tor me on
ccount of my Having been, as they
barge, fraudulently cheated out of the

made a tool of for the purpose ot pulling
emocratlc chestnuts out of the fire or for
bolstering up a weak cause, especially
hen such iharres contain dishonorable
Insinuations against a man whom I believe
to te UDrisnt and nonorame.
At me time or me election in i, i wa.

ourteenth Judicial district, having Deen
lected to that coeitlon as a populist, and
In the campaign 1 was renominated by the
populists aa their candidate lor re-election.
Better Posted Thaa Aeeasers.
I think I know more about that cam
paign and the contest that followed than
any ot the present accusers of Judge
orris. In that election 1 honestly be
lieved that 1 was elected, and there la no
doubt but what Judge Norrls was equally
onest in trie oeiiei mat ne was eieciea,
nd It is not to be wondered at that an
lection so close aa that should result In a
good deal of bitterness in the contest which
toiiowea. in mat contest we were Dotn
looking for fraudulent votes that might
ave been cast for me other party ana lor
Irregularities that in law would be fraud'
lent and Illegal.
Ihe opponents of Judge Norrls are trying
to make capital out of a change in the
vote in Union precinct. In Furna county.
waa evident from uie canvass Dooaa
that some one had changed a cipher Into a
lx. ana this change occurred in judge
Norrla' vote. When I discovered this
hange I was honest In the belief that It
a been made fraudulently ana intention
lly. Subsequently two members of the
canvassing board made affidavits stating
that this change had been made oy mem
nd stating that the same was an noneat
nd Innocent mistake, which mey cor
rected on a recanvasa of the vote of that
county. This recanvasa waa brought about
bv me on an application In me aupreme
court against the canvassing board, an ac
tion in wnicn judge is orris wa not
party and In which the canvassing board
lgned a stipulation expressing a wining
ness to recanvass the vote, it given au
horltv to do so by the court. This error
me In law. if done innocently and by mis
take, aa though done putpuaely and fraud
ulently. Thia error, however, was cor
rected before the certificate of election waa
Issued and Judge orris received no bene
fit from this change, which waa made by
the canvassing board without the Intention
of harming anybody. It is also due to him
to say that he never claimed these fraud
ulent votes, but always frankly admitted
that thev should not be riven to him. and
as a matter of fact they were not given to
him, and he received absolutely no benefit
therefrom.
Threshta Over Old Straw.
There were many charges of fraud made

followed, out there la no aouDt out wait
Judaa Norrls went through It all In an
honorable and upright manner, and that
all the charge hat-were mea pre and
coo, end running them down to the end, I
am fully convinced and satisfied that at
that election Juage rsoms wa xairiy ana
honestly elected.
At the expiration of the Judge's first term
he was renominated and in that election
the same charge was made by the demo
crats against him and the campaign wa
fought out on that issue alone; the matter
waa fully dlscusaed by the people and the
newspapers of that dlstrlc and a a result
of much investigation and discussion Judge
Norrls ran l.luu votes aneaa of nis ticket

The protracted law suit between Malk
Brun and his wife Catherine, has at last
been settled. The parties have for years
bad domestic difficulties, which culminated
in the commencement of a suit for divorce
by the old man, coupled with a prayer
for restitution of the landed property ot
the pair, which he had previously deeded
to hla wife, and a division of the personal
property. The decision of the district court
was In favor of the husband. An appeal
wa taken which resulted in the affirmation
of the decree ot the lower court. To avoid
further litigation, consequent upon the oc
cupatlon of the premises during the pend
ency of the appeal, a settlement has been
arranged giving the old gentleman posession
of the real estate, worth 111,000, the wife
being obliged to. seek a home among stran
gers. The pertles are among the best
known of our citizens and are each of great
age, 70 years.

for congress from the Fifth district, and
Hon. W. E. Andrews, auditor of the United
States treasury, ipoke here tonight In tne
opera house before a large, appreciative
and enthusiastic audience. Attorney James
presided over the meeting and Introduced
Judge Norrla as the first speaker and said
that when the speaking ended here tonight
It wquld practically close the campaign so
far as the republicans are concerned. Mr.
Norrls wa. In poor voice, as he was suffer
ing from a cold, bub nevertheless he made
It possible for every person In the houso
to hear every word. He opened bis address
by stating that so far the campaign had
been conducted in a gentlemanly manner
and so far a. be was concerned he Intended
to bring It to a close In Just the same man
ner, as he was not In favor of mud-throwing.
He emphatically denied a statement
in a local paper, which accused him of not
being In favor of a public building for Heat
ings. This was a mean manner In which
to strike at a candidate and he wanted It
distinctly understood that he wa In favor
of Hastings having -a public building and
always ha. been. Drlflng onto the trust
question, he .aid he wa. not in favor of
tru.ts, or anything that wa so controlled
by any one power as to force everything
into one man's power or anything along
that line. Tet It would be Impossible to
suppress the trust, with one thrust without
doing great damage to the country. He be
lieved in the hand ot the law going out

Thus far .halt thou go and no further."
Mr. Andrew, wa. late in arriving, but he
soon warmed up and talked upon the prin
cipal political Issues of the day, starting
in by giving the amount ot receipt, and
disbursement ot the United State, under
democratic hard time and republican pros
perity. If the people want a surplu. In
the treasury, they must vote the republican
ticket; if they want a deficit, they know
how to ret It, a they had a little ex- j
perlence of that kind. He said that it
was a matter ot fact that no party in the
history of the country ever did so much
for thi. country a did the republican
party. Politic. 1. nothing more than pub
lic business, and we should all look at it
in that manner and everything should be
taken up Just aa a business man take, up

DYING FROM CATARRH
when I found myself with a bad case of
catarrh of the head and throat Peruna
was the first thing that I thought of
And my convictions were not wrong, for
In a few weeks after using Peruna sys
tematically I was entirely rid of this ag
gravating and distressing disease, catarrh.
"If people knew how efficient Peruna was
for this trouble they would not hesitate
to try It. I have all the faith In the world
In it and have never known of a case where
the person wa. not cured in a short time."
Jennie Driscoll.
It you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable advtoa
