PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND ALL INVESTED Bishop Boutin limnoiti to Rom la Connection with Hla Con troversy with Father Mnrphy. (rrom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 10. (Special.) Governor Mickey signed a number of bills today, but ban not' yet reached any of the big; appro priation measures. He cald today be thought be would get to those tomorrow. The governor is aaylng very little about what he lntenoi to do when he does come to these bills, but It it not doubted that he will Insert his axe In them If he can And a few good openings. It was largely through hla Influence that the senate cut down the bills as they came to It from the house. The governor, when asked If he thought tfie bills were down as low aa they could be, said he had not examined them and therefore could not tell. The total appropriations set forth In these tour measures amount to 13,650,000. One thing Is certain, and that la that whatever action the governor doea take will be final. The legislature having adjourned, he is now beyond Its reach. It has been gently rumored that the money appropriated for the publication of the Cobbey statutes, $4,600, which was passed in a bill over the governor'a veto, will be cut out by the chief executive. If this Is done the governor will have successfully circumvented the action of the legislature and gained the final fall. State Oil Inspector Hays, who worked so Industriously for the passage of the bill raising the degree teat of Illuminating oil In this state from 100 to 112 degrees, Is said to have Incurred the very great dis like of the Standard Oil company. An agent of that corporation, who has charge of cer tain affairs in this state. Is said to have exercised his best endeavors to convince Hr. Hays that be was making a mistake In promoting this measure, out It appeara that the oil Inspector could not be convinced by any argument a Standard Oil employe could produce. Two Mora Vetoes. Governor Mickey late this evening vetoed two more bills, making six In all. They were H. R. 93, permitting cities of 25,000 Inhabitants and less to extend their road districts six miles beyond the city limits, and H. R. 104, a bill to establish wards for inebriates In the state hospitals. School Honey Invested. The drain on the state treasury by the legislators has completely depleted the cash In the permanent school fund. "We have been cashing legislative warrants." said Treasurer Mortenaen, "for three months and now have reduced the uninvested funds to the zero point. We have $100,000 of Douglas county refunding bonds waiting to be taken up and they will probably bo kept waiting until July. The Lancaster bonds will have to wait longer." The treasurer stated that last month was one of the dull months in the tax collecting business. The general fund, however, has been relieved of the strain by the purchase of the legislative warrants out of the school fund and now amounts to $30,000. When tbia fund baa reached the $50,000 mark an other call will be issued for warrant and the trust funds will have from $25,000 to $30,000 for Investment. Aa fast as the gen eral fund la replenished the money will be paid Into the school fund for the general fund warrants held aa Investments. This month and May are expected to be good montha tor the treasury, and the general fund la expected ' to forge ahead rapidly. The foreign Insurance company tax la ex pected to bring In about $25,000, and con siderable will come In from the real estate taxes, which become delinquent May L Summon Bishop to Rome. Bishop Bonacura of this city has been called to Rome In connection with his quar rel with Father Murphy, former pastor at Tecumseh of the bishop's diocese. Bishop Bonacura was not In the city today and the construction he places On the call could not be learned. Father Murphy was called up by tele phone at Seward and said that the call to Rome waa news to him. He believed, be said, that It meant that he and the bishop would be cited to appear before the propa ganda and a final settlement of their diffi culties had. Bishop Bonacum's troubles with Father Murphy have been many and of long dura tion. They arose out of the desire of the bishop to oust the priest from his old par ish at Tecumseh, which attempt was suc cessfully reslstod for yeara. Bishop Bona- cum has always taken the position that he la the czar in his own diocese, while Father Murphy has Insisted that the bishop cannot remove or transfer a priest without follow ing a procedure laid down by tho third plenary council of Baltimore. Rome finally permitted the transfer of the priest, but compelled the bishop to give him a parish equally as good. This was Seward and Ulysses. From this parish the bishop has unsuccessfully sought In the civil courts to remove the priest, and their differences In the ecclesiastical court are now in the court of the propaganda at Rome. There are now pending In Rome two mat tera connected with the troublea of the bishop and priest. One Is the appeal from the bishop's conviction of the priest, In his absence of certain charges of disrespect and contumacy; the other is the priest's challenge to the Jurisdiction of the bishop to try him on the ground that he Is a preju diced and therefore Incompetent judge. Local Cathojica who have deprecated very much the turmoil of the last ten yeara be lieve that the whole matter of the bishop's administration of the diocese of Lincoln will be gone over, and steps taken by the props, ganda to stop all bickerings. tale Fair Speed Proarant. At a meeting of the board of managers of the state fair Wednesday evening a speed program that had been outlined by Superintendent R. J. Flick of the speed department waa adopted.

Pay Street Railway Taxes. President M. L. Scudder of the Lincoln Traction company appeared In the district court this afternoon and paid to the clerk the sum of $54,86.TJ In full payment of the Brat Hen adjudged as against the old Lin coln street railway company. Ha predeces sor. The sum In question represents the Judgment of $48,000, with Interests and costs. This -la the street railway tax case that has been pending In the supreme and dis trict courts so long. The city at one time got a Judgment for $108,000, but the com pany appealed to the higher court. While this appeal waa pending Mr. Scudder of fered to settle for $66,000. The council was Ullng, but Dr. O. O. W. Farnham en- Joined Its going through, and the courts held that It could not compromise taxes. The supreme court reversed the case. On the second trial the amount due was found to be $48,000, and this has since been af firmed by the supreme tribunal, which yes terday settled the entire matter by re fusing a rehearing. ' The city holds a third Ilea for something like $30,000, but as the second Hen Is held by the present owners, there Is no prospect of a realization. Attempt at Holdap Falls. A. L. Ehader was knocked down near his residence at Seventeenth and M streets last night by two footpada who attempted to rob him. While the three men were fighting on the sidewalk Dr. Orr cams to the assistance of Shader and the robbers ran. Boeder waa going borne, when one of the men atepped out of a shadow and struck htm In the back of the head. Shader fell to the aldewalk and the two men Jumped on him and tried to tear a diamond pin out of his shirt front. The police were notified. bat found so trace of the robbers. Retara Three Saapecta. Lewie Standlsh, John Cramer and James Leo, alias John Doe, who since the 1st of December have been In the city Jail here. suspected of train robbery, were released this morning. The men were held on va rious charges and an effort made to have them connected with the Burlington train robbery, but without suoceas. It was also believed by the local authorities that these men had been the perpetrators of many burglaries here. Two Charsras to rac. Requisition papers were Issued thtu morning by Governor Mickey for the return to Nebraska of W. H. Duquette, the cowboy detective who la now under arrest In Mis soula, Mont. He Is charged with perjury and probably a charge of bigamy will be filed against him. It Is said that during their search for him the officers discovered that Duquette had a wife in Omaha and also a wife living near Holdrege, whom he re cently married. The Omaha wife, it Is aald, has been apprised of the facts, but the Hol drege wife la still Ignorant that aha Is No. S. Jfo Balm for tho Widow. By a decision of the supreme court Just handed down Peder Johansen, a lonely and mlgbt-be loving farmer of Kearney county, la relieved of the necessity of having to pay $900 damages for breach of promise to marry Augusta ModahL The story Is an odd one. Johansen owns a big farm ten miles from Mlnden. He la 65 years old and a "widower with no chil dren upon the place. In 1900 he Inserted an advertisement In a Norwegian paper, the Scandinavian, asking for a Christian housekeeper, a widow about BO years of age. There waa no addenda, "object, matri mony," but It stuck out all over the little ad. It was seen way back In Merlnette county. Wis., by Mrs. Modahl, a Norwegian woman but five years In the country, who waa keeping house for a woodsman, whose wooing waa not to her liking. One day In November, 1900, when Peder went to Mln den after his mall, he waa handed a missive In Norwegian, which read: "To the farmer 60 yeara ot age who ad vertised In the Scandinavian for a Chris tian housekeeper: I can answer that I in fer that the party la a Christian. I like to live on a farm. I am 63 yeara old. If you will answer and let me know where you live and how large a farm you have and how far you are from a town or a church, I will send photograph." Peder replied at once and after much correspondence she agreed, to come. Peder had her go to a friend'a house when she reached Minden. He called that evening. She said there was talk ot a license then, but Peder said It was too late. They got into his wagon and drove out to the farm She atayed there three weeks, and men tioned marriage several timea. She says1 Peder said the horses were too busy and he couldn't apare them to go to town Finally he backed out altogether and she went over to a neighbor s to live. Later he waa made defendant In a suit for $5,000 damages. On trial Johansen said he never agreed before he saw her to marry her; that the agreement was that they would marry provided on seeing each other everything was suitable and ;eable all round. He aald that three days after. he came to keep house for' him she wanted him to give her a paper transferring his property to her. He claimed she had an incurable disease that she kept from hla knowledge until the offensive odor from her room and clothing apprised htm too unmistakably of it. This she denied. She said his home waa like a pigpen when she went there, and the Jury evidently took her view ot It, aa she got a verdict. The supreme court, however, says that the evidence Is Insufficient to warrant the finding that a contract to marry waa en tered Into. If It were an ordinary engage ment the court might be Inclined to ao bold, but this one Is based on correspond ence, wnlcn snows mat toe engagement was merely tenatlve and to which nolther was Irrevocably committed. Sorenson Caie 6oea Back. Because of an error ot the trial court In a matter of practice the contest over the disposition of the $25,000 estate of Hans C. Borecson, formerly a wealthy hardware dealer ot Ord, must again go back to the district court. Sorennon died In Lincoln in 1895. Four months after hla death Mrs. Ellen Ferguson, who had lived across the street from Sorenson In Ord, was delivered of a child, which she says Is the son of Sorenson. The boy Is now 7 years of sge, and his mother Is pushing him forward us a claimant for the entire estate. She Is opposed by the brothers and other relatives of Sorenson, who claim the estate as theirs and declare that she Is not his wife, aa she claims. The case has twice been In the supreme court and no material fact In It has yet been settled. If the mother wins her boy gets all of the property; if she loses all goea to the surviving relatives. The mother In sists that her marriage was a common law one. She was called over to Sorenson's house one morning by him. There be told her he was tired of batching snd wanted to know if they couldn't hitch along together well. She thought they tould. He said that In the olden times people were mar ried without any public ceremony, and he urged that they simply declare themselves married and live together. She agreed He gave aa a reason that he did not like display and besides there was one member of his family who would make It uncom fortable for him If the news leaked out. She says she resided In the old house, but went each day to make the beds and other wise put the house in order. Sorenson died seven months after, their marriage and his relatives deny the common law marriage. STRONG, HEALTHY, AND FULL DF VIGOR AT 104. SIXTY-FIVE GRANDCHILDREN LIVING AND MARRIED.

William Dledrlch lost out on his appeal from the decision of the district court of Lincoln county In giving hla wife, Laura Dledrlch, a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Orders a Now Trial. Tha eourt ordered a new trial In the dis trict court of Valley county of the damage ault brought by Anna Hajsek against the Burlington Railroad company for $1,999 damages. Commissioner Ames wrote the opinion, and It la aomewhat distinguished tor Its literary character. The district Judge upon the trial ot the case took the caae away from the Jury and instructed for the railroad company. The supreme court says he is wrong. Mrs. Hajsek and her husband live near Ord. On the evening of December 22. 1900, they were driving home after a shopping expedition In town, and not knowing that the regular passenger train waa' overdue drove upon the track in front of It. The wagon was hurled forty feet and the woman very badly Injured. To keep the case from going lnto the federal court suit was brought for less than $2,000. The company maintained that the husband of the plaintiff was negligent and therefore that under the law of imputed negligence the negligence of each party was Imputed to the other. In this case It was argued that being together and having spoken of the team as "ours" It was a Joint enterprise that brought the case within the Imputed negligence rule. Tho supreme court distinguishes the ap plication of this rule, however, and Com missioner Ames makes this observation: "Doubtless the life Journey of the parties may In a sense be regarded aa a Joint en terprise, but this fact would not be held to charge the wife with the consequences of her husband's negligence in most trans actions." Case of Malpractice. The supreme court reversed and aent back tor trial the case of Hannah Johnson against Dr. J. 8. Winston, from Fillmore county. Mrs. Johnson had sued the doctor for malpractice, claiming that as a result of his negligent and unskilful amputation of an Index linger and the unnecessary re moval of the metacarpal bone she lost the use of one hand. The verdict below was lu the doctor's favor, but the supreme court says the trial court erred In ruling out prof fered evidence relating to the proper surg ical course. Other Decisions of Interest. The esse In which Bennett Sperry recov ered a verdict against the corporation of Falls City was roversed because it was proven that one ot the Jurors had made up his mind as to the merits of the contro versy from his prior knowledge of the facts. J. D. Knight of Lincoln finally wins his case against Amos II. Denham. Knight's wife left him a 320-acre farm In Butler county, but after her death, when he sought to exercise the rights of ownership he was met by the claim on the part ot Denham that the property waa bis because he had occupied it for more than ten yeara with out anybody else claiming It. All this time Mrs. Knight had been paying taxes on the land and the court upholds the claim of her heir to ownership. Heverses Da ma are era, but the supreme eourt aaya the claim to the tracks la not tenable. t Salary Is Sacred. The First National bank of Columbus will not be able to realize upon lta assign ment of the salary warrasta ot Will'.am O'Brien, county attorney ot Platte. Titt aupreme court says that the assignment of the salary or fees of a public vfflcar to be earned in the future la contrar to public policy and therefore void.' SUPERIOR MAN IN TROUBLE Bobbin P.

' BEATRICE, Neb., April i0. (Special.) The $50,000 damage ault ot Morrell against the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad. which waa filed In the district court here some time ago and which was later reduced to $5,000, has been settled and dismissed. It Is said that plaintiff voluntarily Inter viewed the officials of tha road and offered a compromise, which was promptly ac cepted. It Is not known on what terms the settlement was made. The court reversed the Judgment obtained by John Boesen against the Omaha Street Railway Company for $1,128, for Injuries re ceived while a passenger on a car. Boeeen worked in South Omaha and. with many others, rode down on a car, which con nected at Q street with a car for the pack ing house. Every morning it was a ruth to get on the packing house car, and those who didn't get a foothold walked the re mainder ot the way. The district court is held to have erred in several particulars, and the opinion Is expressed that Boesen was hurt while running to catch tho other car rather than by a derailment of the car he was riding on, as be claimed. The suit was for $20,000 damages. The Omaha Bridge and Terminal company Is the gainer by $3,979 by reason of ita ap peal to the supreme court from a Judgment of the district court in favor of D. C. Whit ney and others. The latter owned lands near the Missouri bottoms which the Vnlcn Pacific, years ago, occupied with its tracks. There was litigation with the property owners and a settlement made by which Whitney and others were admitted to be owners ot nearly three acres. The road kept Its tracks thereon and operated cars over them, but when tho bridge company sought to condemn them the property own ers wanted not only $3,300 an acre for their land, but claimed the tracks were theirs by reason of the terms of settlement. The district court held with the property own- DECEPTION. When the conjurer shows an empty bat, and et once begins to extract from It rab bits or cabbagea, we know that we have been adroitly deceived, because we know we can't get out anything that Isn't in it.

A number of so called "blood making" and "flesh forming" "tonic" meal- cines are only' stimulants in dis guise. You can't get strength out of a stimulant be cause strength ia not in it. All fhyaical strength s derived from food digested and aasimilated and in the form of blood nourishing tlte entire body. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery does not make blood or make strength, no medicine can do that. But it docs cure diseases of the stomach and its allied or gans, and so causing the perfect diges tion and assimilation of food, it enables the building of the body in sound and vigorous health.
