(From a Stuff Corrimr.(1ril.)
LINCOLN, Dec." JO. (Special.) Governor
lavage baa learned during the last few
days that a new scheme to defraud has
been successfully worked and his name,
unknown to Mm, has been usod In connec
tion with the f'BUl.
The acheme la worked by pari lea who
claim to have murh Influence with the
governor and who for a certain price agreed
to get parties out of th- penitentiary by
the pardon route. D'trlng the last week
four parties who hate rclatlvra In th3
atatc prison have notlflrd the governor thit
they bad paid from $4 to (25 to men who
for the fee agred to secure pardons The.
relative called to see why no action had
been taken." No application had been filed
with the governor for the pardon.
"I have received a letter from a poor
woman who has a aon In the penitentlnry."
aald the governor, "asking why I had no'
taken aome action on her aon'a appeal f
clemency. She atatea that ahe paid $"
serers.l mouiha ago to a Lincoln lawyer
for the purpose of securing htj release. I
have never oeen the man and thU Is tho
first that 1 have heard of the rate. The
man evidently took the fee without any
Intention of making any return for It.
Within the last two daya I have received
three other similar letters from persons
who have been defrauded out of their
money by unscrupulous persona. The old
woman who wrote the first letter la fully
TO years old and yet some scoundrel haa
the hardihood to take her money on the
pretense that be la able to Influence my
Judgment." '
Tbe governor waxed wrathy In .discuss
ing the frauds that are being perpetrated
and wanted It distinctly understood that a
meritorious case would be just as care
fully looked Into when presented by a
soor man aa by a man of Influence or a
lawyer.
Harrison Not In Deal.
Harrison of Qrand Island, who Is a can
didate for tbe position of president pro
tem. of the senate, bas disclaimed all con
nection with the compact which waa de
signed to consign the ghost of the D. E.
Thompson controversy to : the governor.
The compromise contemplated the selection
of Harrlaon, one of hrs strongest opponents
at one end of tbe bouse, and Mockett, one
of his most active supporters, as the
speaker of the house. The .parties to this
agreement. It Is 'asserted, were the two
great railroads that have been for years
trying dominate the politics of Ne
braska. Karly In the contest, according to
a prominent politician who was seen to
night, an understanding wai entered by
which the Union raclflc waa to be repre
sented In the senate by the selection for
president of Harrison of Grand Island,
while Mockett as speaker of the houae waa
to be a concession to the Burlington in
terests. The proposition bow Is to dis
cipline the recalcitrant Mr. Harrison by
leaving him out of tbe calculations and
taking up another man. . At all eventa, the
original understanding' will be insisted
upon so far aa It concerns Mr. Mockett.
During the last tew daya tbe situation has
clarified aomewhat and the claim Is freely
tnade that all of the representatives from'
the South Platte district will come Into
line for Mockett. with the poaalble excep
tion of Seward county. Perry of Furnas,
te les ' Dernlier of Caaa and Sweety of
Blue Hill are all claiming the aupport of
their own delegations, but in no case are
these delegations vory large, and with tbe
North Platte representatives aupporting
fwo candldatea both rather atrong, it is
quite probable that the first ballot in the
caucus may ahow Mockett in the lead.

COAL ROADS ARE TO MERGE
Plan of Consolidation Along- the lilacs
Adopted by Northern Securi
ties Company.
CHICAGO, Dee. 30. One of the most im
portant deals in tbe history of railway
corporations vu made known today, says
the Dally News.
Early in tbe year J. P. Morgan A Co.
will announce the consolidation- of tbe
Erie, Lehigh Valley and the Reading rail
ways. The merger will Be planned after
the manner of ' tbe Northern Securities
company the stocks of the companies to
be pooled and held as a fcasla for the
Issuance of a large amount of common
shares, which will take as their name the
title to' be. given tbe consolidated com
panies. Four roada, according to the News' in
formant, will be Included in tbe merger,
tbe Jersey Central being now controlled
by the Reading company. The plan for a
coalescence, it is said, has been in contem
plation for nearly a year, and bas been
held In abeyance owing to the inability ot
the promoters to get possession of a ma
jority of the Lehigh Valley shares.
Tbe Interested parties are particular to
emphasise that tbe unification will not In
terfere with the individual management.
The roads are not to loso their identity.
Tbe earnings will all flow. Into one treas
ury, which will pay expenditures, dividends
and have charge of the fiscal part of tbe
companies generally.
The holding concern will have a presi
dent who will be regarded as above tho
presidents ot the different lines. He will
be appointed by J. P. Morgan and It is
Intimated that President Underwood ot the
Erie is alated for the place.
Invitations were at once sent to' railroad
officials, coal dealers, shippers and some of
the large consumers to meet Mr. Hamlin at
bla bote), 2 o'clock being aet for the arrival
of the first visitors.
Although be bas no mandatory power,
Mr. Hamlin aald be expected to get at the
bottom ot the question of shortage of
bituminous cosl.
"I cannot say at this time what form
my report will take," ho aald. "or what
tbe effect of the investigation will be. We
have but very few facts now and do not
desire at this time no announce what is
to be done. I hope to place the blame
where It belongs If tbe fact of wrongdoing
la established."
Tbe Investigation is prompted by the
reports that thousands of carloads of soft
coal are being held out ot the market as
the result of a conspiracy to raise tbe price
of coal to consumers. '
NEW YORK. Dec. 30. J. P. Morgan AV
Co. denied that It was Intended to con
solidate tbe Erie, Lehigh Valley and Read
ing railroads. .Mr. Morgan said: "There
ia not tbe slightest reason for auch a story,
it is altogether without foundation."

'A Rhort tlme ago I found my con
dition very serious, I had headaches,
pains In the bach, and frequent dizzy
spells which grew worse every month;
I tried two remedies before Peruna,
end I was discouraged when I took
the first dose, but my courage soon
returned. In less than two months
my health was restored." Hrs. n.

Peruna has cured thousands of casea of
female weakness. Aa a rule, however, be
fore .Peruna la resorted to, several other
remedies have been "tried In vain. A great
many of the patientsave taken local treat
ment ' submitted" themselves to surgical
operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's
stuff, without any result.
The reason of so many
fact that diseases peculiar

mucous membranes. Any mucous membrane
Is subject to catarrh.
Catarrh of one organ it exatly the same as
catarrh of any other organ. What will cure
catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh ot
the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases
simply because It cures tbe catarrh.
Most ot the women afflicted with pelvic
diseases have no idea that their trouble Is
due to catarrh. The majority of tbe people
think that catarrh is a disease confined to
the head alone. -

This Is not true. Catarrh Is liable to
attack any organ ot the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs,' stomach, ' kidneys,
and especially the pelvlo organs.
Many a woman bas made this . discovery
after a long siege of useless treatment. She
has made the discovery that her disease is
catarrh, and that Peruna can be relied upon
to cure catarrh wherever located.
Mlsa Florence Murphy, 2703 Second
Avenue, Seattle, Wash.,' writes:
"I suffered for over a year with ' female
trouble, and although I tried several physi
cians, none of them seemed able to help me
permanently. .
"It took only a little 6Ver three" bb'ttles of
Peruna to make me well and strong. I never
pains any more." Miss Florence Murphy.
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217
West Twenty-Third Street. Minneapolis,
Minn., as follows:
"I suffered for years with a pain in the
email of my back and right side. It inter-'
fered often with my domestlo 'and social j
duties and I naver supposed that I would be !
cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem'
to help me any. ' , .
"I took Peruna faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy Indeed to be able to say that
I am entirely cured. Perfect health once
more la the best thing I oould wlch for, and
thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now."
Minnie E. McAllister.

factory results from tbe use of Peruna,

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