-INCOLN, Jan. 13. (Special.) Juds
Gordon, wboae figure la almost as familiar
around tbc siiDreme court aa It la around
the halls of the Omaha police atatlon, has I
filed a petition In error In the supreme
court to reverse th district rourt of
Douglas county which sat down hard on bis
petition for a writ f mandamus against
Mayor Moores to compel the latter to pay
from the city funds of Omaha $823, being
the amount which Gordon claimed la due
Dim for hla services for the months of
January, February, March and April, 102.
The lower court held that If he had an
remedy It waa by a writ of quo warranto
against the person In office after which. If
the writ waa granted, he could collect the
fees of the office.
Judge Gordon, who appears for himself
In the case, told the clrks In the office of
the clerk of the supreme court thit he h.vi
offered to settle on a reasonable basis with
the authorities, but that he had been turned
down, and he now proposed te carry the
case through and recover the whole
amount.
Horticultural Society Merti,
The State Horticultural society began
Ita annual meeting here today. The morn
ing was devoted to the Installation of the
fruit exhibit In the rooms of Prof. Bessey.
This Is the first year that the society has
offered premiums on exhiblta and the win
ter show Is therefore by far the best that
has ever been made. Exhiblta came in by
the barrel, the luscious fruits carefully
wrapped In papers, and It was a work of
no mean Importance to unpaclc the many
barrels and arrange their contents upon
the platca covering the largo tablet.
This afternoon's program comprised an
silliness of welcome from Chancellor An
drews, a respouse by L. M. Russell of thla
rlty president of the aoclety, and discus
sions of technical topics by Gebrge F.
Mile of this city, E. F. Stephens of Crete,
W. O.-Swan of Tecumseh, R. A. Emerson
and O. T. Little, both of this city, with re
ports from the secretary and treasurer.
E. B. Black man of the State Historical
ociety has on exhibition a plate of applet
of a variety said to be entirely new to
horticulturists. He calls it the 8. F.
Koontx (seedling). It was frown by 3. F.
Koontz in hie orchard six mllea eaat of
Roca from the seed of the anow apple. It
is a fine winter apple, large and rosy red,
compact and nicely flavored and It a good
cooker. It resembles somewhat the vari
ety known as the Rome Beauty. The tree
la twenty-six years old and has borne every
year when it was possible for any tree to
beer.
Mr. Blackman called the attention of
horticulturists to it today because he be
lieves It to be a profitable applo for culture
in this climate, and one to which they may
want to devote some attention.

Bsasiaa from Caen.
W. . J. Meaner of Plattamouth also has
something of a curiosity on exhibition. It
la a cluster . of some . fourteen or fifteen
bananas grown In hla 'greenhouse In Caas
county. While small compared to the fruit
that Is Imported, they are ripening and
such as have sufficiently ripened have a
genuine banana flavor. The faot that they
are unusually small la attributed by Mr.
Ilesser to the temperature of the green
house, which ha been maintained at about
fiO degrees during the winter, while the ef
fective culture of the banana requires a
temperature of about (5 degreea. His tree
yielded copiously, and the cluster he has
on exhibition forma but a small part of his
crop. It Is aald that bananas have been
successfully reared and ripened In the uni
versity hothouses.
Two sessions of the aoclety will occur to
morrow. At -the 9 a. m. session H. W..
Campbell of Heatings will. discuss soil cul
ture and J. H. Bath of Omaha will talk
about home gardening. An address is alao
scheduled from Professor Taylor, promi
nently connected with the department of
exhibits at the, St. Louis exposition. Re
port will be heard from the fruit dis
tricts and from the experimental stations
at Arlington, Chambers, MlnJen, Purdum,
Bandoi, York and Valentine.

out In tbe attic above the gymnasium of
the Young Men's Christian association
building on West Fifth street, and before
It could be extinguished, the entire west
side cf the building, which takes in the
gymnasium and game rooms, was practl
cally deatroyed, together with . all of the
gymnasium apparatus, consisting of
horse, a set of bars and several doxen
dumbbella and weights. The loss will be
upward of $800, with $600 -Insurance.
The origin of the fire la assigned to
defective flue. A fire had been built In
the gymnasium stove to heat the room
for the afternoon business men's class and
as the pipe runs up through the attic, it is
supposed some of tbe old woodwork was
set ablaze. The association rooms will be
closed until Saturday. Little or no damage

demand. There Is some hard coal on hand,
but so many people put In soft coal burn

TEST ON VALID POLICY INSURANCE BILL
Only Two Votes Recorded Against It
la Lower llonae Hastening Adop
tion of t'oile Commis
sion Work,
PIERRE, S. D.. Jan. 13. (Special Tele
gram.) In the senate today a bill was In
troduced declaring the waters of the ar
tesian basin to be public property, and
another authorizing the selection of de
positories for civil township funds.
Both the senate 'and house took action
toward hastening the adoption of the codn
committee work, and the bills covering
this work will be adopted within a few
days.
In tho house bills reported back by the
committees were all advanced under sus
pension of the rules and placed on final
passage. Bills were passed donating school
lands to the national government at tho
Soldlefa' home at Hot Springs and ceding
over the same; relating to witnessing writ
ten Instruments and relating to instruc
tions to juries, as well as the senate cap
ital resubmission resolution, which went
through by a vote of 70 to 16.
By a mistake of the printer house bill
No. 24, introduced by Oerhardt. which la
a valued policy insurance bill, waa printed
as on final passage. A number of tho
members thought they were voting on the
insurance bill, taking the printed bill as
the one being read by the clerk and not
noticing the difference. The vote on the
bill was 77 ayes and 2 nays, and a call for
an explanation showed the true facts. But
the error showed somewhat of the strength
of a valued policy measure when It finally
geta up. '
A bill to make ten years the limitation of
a Judgment failed by a vote of 59 to 25 and
was the first bill to call out a general dis
cussion ao far thin session.
The only house bill Introduced was one
appropriating 11,040 for per diem and mile
age of members and employee of the house
and senate.
Governor Herreld today appointed Noah
Newbanks of Stanley county, Henry C.
Anderson of Meade county and George Mc
Eathron of Beadle county membera of tho
State Brand commission, the appointments
to take effect March 8. Newbanks and An

SCHUYLER CONCERNS PROSPER
Building; and Loan and Co-operative
Creamery Make Good Showing
for the Year.
SCHUYLER, Neb., Jan. 13. (Special.)
A special meeting of the board cf directors
of tbe Schuyler Building and Loan asso
ciation declared a dividend of 3Vt per cent
for the six months ending December 31,
this being a little below the average divi
dend. The association baa been organized
since 1885, has enjoyed a prosperous ex
istence and has been the means of many
obtaining their own homes who would not
otherwise have done so. Cheap money at'
the banks and elsewhere during the two or
three years past has had a tendency to re
duce the association's business to some ex
tent, but It still obtains sufficient to keep
it in healthy condition.
The fifth annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Schuyler Creamery company
received reports of a fair condition of the
co-operative , creamery business, at, this
point. .. The company waa organised in 1897,
commencing business May 20, and has been
in continuous operation since, having in
creased the business done at Schuyler by
building skimming stations in tributary
territory. The business of 1901 suffered on
account of drouth of that year and that of
1902 suffered on account of extremely op
posite conditions, excessive rainfall, yet
the company more than held Its own by
gradually canceling Ita indebtedness and
creating a small sinking fund. Funds were
reported on hand to cancel all Indebted
ness and $405.90 In the sinking fund. The
officers elected for the ensuing year were
J. A. Pence president, and Frank E. Moore,
secretary-treasurer.
Out of a total of $84,800.55 of 1901 taxes
to be collected during 1902 the county
treasurer's records show $1,638.37 to have
been collected, the balance not collected be
lng $3,162.18, or 3.7 per cent.
PLANS TO NARROW THE ROADS
Reorearntatlve Mendenhall Thinks
They Take I P Too Moch Land
at Present.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 13. (Special.) Repre
sentative Mendenhall of Jefferson says ho
is no chronic bill maker, but Intends to
Introduce at least one measure this ses
sion. That will be a bill to narrow country
roads, which the law now says must be
sixty-six feet wide. Mendenhall would have
them forty-six feet in width. He thinks
this would improve tbe genoral road con
dltlons and remove certain '.njjatices from
small land owners which the present law
imposes. "For instance." he said. "I am
compelled to give up eight acres of a
quarter section for road purposes. If it
was necessary I wouldn't say a word."
A rather general impression prevails in
the house that Representative Davis of
Buffalo county is serving his first term as
a legislator. This Is a mistake. Mr. Davis
was a member of the lower branch of the
Nebraska legislature of 1879, which appro
priated 50,000 for the aenate wing of the
state bouse and $10,000 for a reform school
at Kearney It 'was largely through the
efforts of Mr. Davla, then the sole house
member from Buffalo county, that Kearney
secured this state Institution.
Already the arduous work of the legisla
tive postmasters has begun. Those cour
teous missives labelled "Honorable," with
the same underscored, are pouring In even
at this early stage. One member made the
jocular remark today that he would make
It a rule to open or pay no attention to
any letter whose envelope did not have
that coveted little prefix, "Hon." "The
Honorable," or "The Honorable Mr."

LEASING BILL IN SENATE
(Continued from First Fage.)
pose of the grazing lands of the west, espe
cially of western Nebraska.
Mondcll UlP(' i'rre t'onl.
Representative Mondcll of Wyoming, la
explaining hla antagonism to the proposed
rebate on the tariff on coal, which comes up
under special rule tomorrow, said to The
Bee correspondent tonight: "I shall op
I pose the bill to rebate tho duty on coal
because such a measure, virtually placing
coal on the free list for one year, will work
great injury to the coal industry of my
state by placing the product of our mines
in competition with the coal mined by
Chinamen in the Dominion of Canada. A
considerable portion of the 5,500,000 tons
of coal mined annually In Wyoming finds
a market at Puget Sound points, where it
comes in competition with coals mined on
Vancouver Island "by Chinamen. While ouy
coal must pay a heavy freight toll to reacll
tidewater Vancouver coal reaches our ports
on the payment of a Btnall charge for water
transportation.
"A still larger amount of Wyoming coal
Is marketed in the states immediately
north and northwest of us, where it comes
In competition with coal mined at Leth
brldge and Dunmolr in Assinlbolne. This
Canadian coal reaches some of our markets
with less haul than our coal and It is also
mined by Chinamen. The odds are against
us both In cost of mining snd transporta
tion to market.
"The only good feature of the proposed
legislation Is that it only operates for one
year, but in that time, I fear, the loss of
employment to our miners will be great
and the effect in our coal mining proper
ties in the western part of the state amount
to virtually confiscation and all this Is
threatened in order to meet the popular
demand for relief from the present coal
shortage in the east by legislation which,
In my opinion, will not accomplish the
result sought.
"Nobody In the west has asked for a re
duction of the coal duties and the result
will be simply to give our . western coal
market to Canada, without bringing about
a permanent lowering of the price to the
consumer."

Cured Him.
A GREAT many remedies to temporarily
relieve catarrh have been devised
from time to Ume. such as sprays,
snuffs, creams and other local applications,
but. as a rule, the medical profession has
little or no enthusiasm in the treatment
of catarrh.
It la generally pronounced by them to be
Incurable.
It therefore created a great sensation In
medical circles when Dr. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised a compound
which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy waB named Peruna and In
a short time became known to thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and
weat.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pe
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions.
, Thousands of such letters are on file In
the office of the Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis., writes:
"I feel obliged to extend you my personal
thanks for my completo restoration. All
through the winter I suffered from throat
and lung trouble, but recovered my entire
health by the use of your excellent remedy,
Peruna."
The following letter from a prominent
gentleman of Los' Angeles Is a case in

of Hearing, Smell and
"I was troubled with catarrh of the
head for many year. It affected tny
sense of smell, hearing and sight. I
apent lots of money with doctors and
the use of local applications to relieve
me but to no purpose, until my atten
tion was called to the wonderful effects
of Peruna.
"I must say that I met with most
surprising: and satisfactory results.
Peruna took hold of the complaint and
drove it entirely out of my system.
"Although well along toward thj
allotted span of man's life I am pleased
as a child over the results, and feel like
a young man again." J. W. Fuller.
Such letters as the above are not used
for publication except by tha written por-i
mission of the writer.
A pamphlet filled with such letters will be
sent to any address free. This book should
be read by all who doubt the curability of
catarrh.
If you do not receive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full
statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
