(From a Buff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jn. 3 (Special Telegrsm.)
It was announced this evening that W. H.
Harrison of Hall county had been decided
upon aa president pro tern of tha senats
at conference of eeventten members of
that body. If they all stick t- the agree
ment, thla number will be ample, and aome
to spore, to tarry out the prjgram. O'Neill
of Lancaster, who had been a candidate for
tha place, was one of thoee who attended
tha conference, and It la announced that
he will be a member of the committee
which will aelect the committee! of the
aenute and thus be able to aecura a de
sirable poaltlon for hlmaelf In the organisa
tion of the aenate. Tha membera of thla
committee are Harrison, Warner, Howell,
Wall and O'Neill.
The aenatora who attended the confer
ence were: Norrla, Young, Marshal, Hall,
Howell, 8aunders, Warner, Alden, Brown,

Anderson, Cox and O'Neill.
The remainder of the slate Is said to be
A. R. Kelm of Richardson for clerk and W.
L. Wheeler of Clay county for assistant,
nd Crawford Kennedy of Douglas for eer-geant-at-arms.
All to Stay n Flaht.
One feature of the fight for the speaker
ship la that the smaller candidates those
wl!h the least votes are announcing that
they Intend to stay In until tha end, and at
leaat one of that number declares that the
fight between Mockett and Thompson
will defeat both of them and let
In the strongest of the other men.
Thompson's strength did not show up
as strong today sa It thought It would.
Mockett showed considerable strength, but
both men claim the seat, and there aro
othera who claim the place for tbem.
House of Hall county had opened his head
quarters and he Is getting favorable no
tice. Hla room was filled all day and he
expecta to atay until the finish.
Lite today apparently there waa no
change In the speakership fight. Sneezy,
Perry Delesdenler, Rouse and those who
have the smallest pledged delegations wern
still holding on and between aome of them
there baa been frequent conferences. Each
expects the clash of Mockett and Thomp
son to send votes In hla direction and In
tend to hang on.
It waa told here thla morning that the
Douglas senatorial delegation wants to land
at the bead of three committees and tha
aeata are to be occupied aa follows: Saun
ders, revenue: Howell, cities and towns,
nd Hall, judiciary.
The Columbia Mining company has filed
- articles of Incorporation with the sec
retary of state. Ita capital Is 1150.000
and It expecta to have Its headquarters In
Omaha. The Incorporator are: C. . E.
Adama, jr., C. D. Evans, J.. H. Irvine and
B. W. North.
Smallpox at Elarln.
It was reported hero today that in Elgin
there were seventeen cases of smallpox and
the town waa having a difficult time caring
for the alck onea. The emergency fund of
tha State Board of Health Is exhausted and
there can be no relief sent by the board.
Owing to the fact that heretcfore physi
cians have had trouble In getting from thi
atata compensation for their services, none
of them are volunteering to go to Elgin and
attend tha sick.
Majority of Superintendents Attend.
State Superintendent Fowler this after
noon expressed himself aa well pleased
with the attendance of county superin
tendents at the State Teachers' associa
tion. During the aeasion there were sixty
two of the ninety superintendents present.
That no more of them were here Mr. Fowler
attrlbutea to the fact that the salary paid
tome of tha superintendents was to small
that they could not afford to come. With
few exceptions those who did not attend
are paid salaries ranging from $200 to
500. .
The increased attendance Mr. Fowler re
gards aa one of the most helpful features
of the association. Many of the superin
tendents, he said, hsd gone out with new
Ideaa of the management of arhoola and the
meeting would result In much good to the
itate.
J. H. Van Iiuaen was a caller at tha atate
house today, trying to sreure the release
on parole of Richard Wardlaw of Omaha,
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten
tears. About five years etjn Wardlaw was
sentenced to the state prison berauee he
went Into Oraham'a drug store at Twenty-
IS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
Tho Principal Asact of tkt successful
Tie bead cf the largeat meat packing In
dustry tn tha world for many years prior
ts bis death never traveled without hla
physician; everywhere he was accompanied
by hla-medical advlaer; he hired him for
bis exclusive attendance by the year and
considered tha large salary paid for such
service as a part of his business Invest
ment. He did not do this becauaa he was
a hypochondriac. In constant fear of lllnesa
and death; on the contrary, be waa an ex
ceptionally robuat man, but he realised
that the principal aaaet in his enormous
.business waa his own personal health, and
to keep physically and mentally well and
strong was business proposition, pure and
simple
. It la ao with every business msn and
woman. A alight cold In the head or throat
snay pasa off In a few days, or It may de
velop into pneumonia, chronic catarrh or
an irritating throat trouble: In any event
Ita departure should be hastened by some
simple antiseptic preparation ilka Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, which are dissolved In the
mouth and thus reach and destroy the
germa of catarrh, pneumonia and consump
tion before they have a chance to propa
gate ani thrive In the inflamed mucous
membranes of the noae and throat.
To burden the stomach with drugs and
stimulants Is a foolish and often dangerous
way to combat a cold, because atlmulanta
are always followed by corresponding de
pression and where there Is any tendency
to pneumonia increases the danger by In
creasing tha heart's action.
A popular school teacher lo Pittsburg
writes: "I am a walking advertisement for
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; the change from
a crowded steam-heated school room to a

In tha head and throat from fall to spring.

aleemer to Have ' Xo Deputy,
A D. Beemer, the new warden at th
slate penitentiary, was in the rlty today
getting acquainted with the situation at
the penitentiary. He will prcbably take
charge January 15. Mr. Beemer atated
he would not heve a deputy. He does not
believe that the appointment of two men
by tha governor to look after the affairs
of ths penitentiary Is conducive to dis
cipline, instead of a deputy he will hkve
a foreman. In whom ha can place epertal
trust. This foreman will be appointed by
Beemer, and he will thereby retain perfect
control over his staff. A deputy cannot
be removed wtthout going through the
formal process proscribed by the statutes.
Mr. Beemer said that such a condition of
affairs waa bound to cause discord and
lead to more or leas division of author
ity. Mr. Beemer la anxious to have the pro
posed penitentiary buildings completed. He
spoke of the hardships Imposed upon Mr.
Darts by the need of living In the cramped
quarters which he occupies at preaent.
Asked what amount be thought would be
sufficient to place the butldinga in good
condition again, hi? suggested that It would
take probably $50,000.

statute.
The county treasurer, the county Judge
and the clerk constitute the appraising
board under the statute. In the Goede
case the property was appraised, but the
state officials think that the appraisement
was too high. It ts said that the price
fixed by he apprali?rs Is In excess of the
true value cf land In Cheyenne county not
under Irrigation. Hay, land Is worth but
$2 an acre, while tillable land ranges from
$4 to $8 In value.
The constitutionality sf the alien law haa
never been tested In the federal courta.
Should there be any treaty bestowed upou
the subjects of the German emperor rights '
with which the law conflicts, the supreme
court would bo In duty bound to declare
the law invalid.
Captain Fisher, who appears for the
clalmanta, claims that the tranafer has
been made and that the state baa posses

why the state should pay the claim. Ou

mer Is authority for the statement that
the land has never been taken by the atate.
Inasmuch as 'there Is nothing In the rec
ords of his office to show a transfer. The
forfeiture waa made In the district court
of Sioux county, but the transfer was never
recorded.
The claim will be brought to the atten
tion of the leglulature again at thla ses
sion, having been placed on file with the
auditor aome time ago.

the congestion and inflammation, and the cough disappears.
