(From a Staff Cerrespondent.)
LINCOLN, May U. SpeclsU.)-The Ue
bata scheduled to occur between Colorado
and tho Stata university baa been called
6ft and thua the debating aeason here la
ended. The two managements could not
agree on aoma of the arrangement and
last night everything waa declared off.
There were two. main polnta that the two
teaina could hot agree on: First, allowance
to Nebraska of the customary rebuttal
argument, and second, the judge of the
contest. Tne question was as to whether
or not trusts are Inimical to the public wel
fare, and Nebraska choaa the negative of
the queetlon. They wanted their right of
rebuttal, of course, as la the custom In all
the big Interstate debates, but this Colo
rado refused to give, demanding both the
opening and the closing arguments. As
Nebraska Is particularly strong on rebuttal
they would not coneent to anything Ilka
this, and to It waa necessary for one or
the other to give In, but this they would
not do.
The question of the Judges has been caus
ing troubla for the last two weeks. As In
the Missouri debate, Nebraska Insisted that
at least: two of the men chosen to judge
should be experts In their Una trained
economists and men familiar with the sub
ject under discussion. Colorado demanded
as judges three of the following:
judge who had been elected as an
enemy of the trusts, or a Colorado Springs
politician, or a former state official who
waa committed against trusts, or a Denver
lawyer, of whom a prominent Nebraska
graduate who has practiced law In Denver
for several years told the debating board
ha bad never heard, or a Denver medical
doctor, or county chairman over In Crip
ple Creek.
Nebraska would agree of oourse to none
ef these and Insisted, as It always has.
that two of them at least should be econo
mists and not politicians. One prominent
economist la a Colorado university waa ac
cepted, but the other waa turned down
without any reason' being given, and soma
more heap politicians were offered In
stead. The management waa considering
these men when they received the an
nounoement that Nebraska was not to be
allowed the usual rebuttal argument and
then negotiations were broken off.
' Street Halfway Bale.
Tba sale of the Lincom street railroad
will occur on the afternoon of June 1 un
less the Lincoln Traction, Company prevents
It. The property has been appraised at
tl5S,J)77.4 above the lien of the first mort-
gaage holder, tha New Tork Security com
pany,1 which la fixed at S96S.S22.M. The
notice recites that tha property will be sold
subjest to this lien, which means that the
purchaser, will assume Its payment. As the
' law does not permit tha sale of property
under execution to be for less than two
thirds' of Its appraised value, tho pur-
' chaser at this sale will have to put up a
little over IKH.0OO. '--
Tha present owners, tha first mortgage
bondholders or their . assignees of stock.
Insist that their lien bavins; been foreclosed'
In tha federal court, will have to. be paid
off In cash. This, If true would mean that
over 11.000,000 in cash to get. the road. The
lata court's decision, however, simply fixes
the value of tola second lien at S904.0O0,
with interest and does not. foreclose It.
Tha city attorney takes tha ground that
failure to ask for foreclosure In the state
courts bars any legal demand for the pay
ment of this second Hen In cash, and that
if tha holders wish to collect upon It they
must follow tha usual procedure of the
courts. If this Is correct it will give the
purchaser at this sale time to make ar
rangements to pay off this lien.
The prospects are pretty good for litiga
tion over tha matter, but the result. It
Is "confidently believed, will be to secure
for the city the entire amount of Its
is saw now the first and third liens.
Confer ea Tax 1.1st.

It will be necessary to evolve a book four
or five feet in length, which will make It

there are some pieces of property upon

Fall Ideate Victim's (Meter.
HUMBOLDT, Neb.. May 12. tSpeclal.)
Humboldt rltliena were somewhat surprised
at the anonymous letter told about In the
Saturday dispatches from Lorain. O., which
claimed that Agatha Relchltn. who was so
foully murdered in her bed a few days
ago, waa a sister of a married woman of this
place. The letter claimed that she had
visited her Humboldt relatives a year ago,
when seeking refuge from the supposed
brother, whom the letter asserts was a
cousin Instead. Persistent Inquiry falls to
reveal anyone In this section who claims
relationship to the murdered woman, al
though the fact that the supposed sister Is
married would mean a difference In names
and make her difficult to locate. The gen
eral Impression hereabouts Is that either a
mistake has been made or the letter' Is
a fake.
faaattaa; la Accident.
AUBURN, Neb., May 12. (Special.) The
coroner'a Jury which Inquired Into the death
of Holly Whlttaker. who waa killed In this

with him In the barn at the time of the
shooting, to whom the revolver belonged,
waa arrested last night on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons, and waa held
in custody until after the coroner's verdict.
He waa then taken before the county judge
and arraigned on the charge, to which he
pleaded guilty. On account of his age the
court gave him a fine of only 110 and costs,
which waa paid by hla father. The Whlt
taker boy's funeral occurs at 4:30 this aft
ernoon. Tork Government Economical.
TORK, Neb., May 14. (Special.) At the
council meeting last, evening the annual
estimates of the probable amount of money
necessary to be raised for the support of
the city of Tork this year were adopted.
Only $1,200 was paid for salaries of the
policemen last year. Perfect order has
been maintained with only .two policemen,
one at day and one at night for a city
that has .600 people; 1700 was set aaide for
the Improvement of the park. The officers
really serve without pay. fork . cltlsens
point with pride to tha good and able and
economical management of the city affairs
and a comparison with other cities of the
same else show that the expenses of Tork
are much less.
Rains Delay Cora Planting.
BEATRICE, Neb., May 13. (Special Tel
egram.) It has rained here almost con
tlnually since last Saturday night and Is
raining hard this evening. The river and
all creeks are rising rapidly and unless It
ceases raining soon we will again witness
floods which will equal those of 1901 Win
ter wheat on low ground will certainly be
damaged by being under water, and as
there Is practically no. corn planted yet.
and with fair clearing weather It will be
at least a week before farmers can get
into the fields. It looks as though corn will
be very backward at beat.

any water last year. This season an effort
was made to organise an Irrigation dis
trict and buy In the property, but It failed

HUMBOLDT. Nb.. May 11 (Special.)
A fine rain of an Inch or more visited this
section, starting In Sunday evening and
winding up today at noon. It proved an
excellent thing for growing crops and puts
the soil In better shape for planting, which
Is quite well advanced. Prominent fruit
growers hereabouts are now, after making
careful examinations of the buds, confident
that the first estimates of damage from the
freese were wide of the mark. They claim
that no crop will be a failure except the
peaf; that apples, peaches and small fruit
will make from one-halt to three-fourths
of a crop. In some sections where the freese
was most severe the yield may be short
ened more than this, but they claim that
over the county4" it will average about as
above.

stands are promised, and from Texas
northward to the UDDer Missouri valley the
crop has Improved much since last week,
but from the lower Missouri valley east
ward over Illinois the stands are uneven
and the crop is much in need of rain.
Although much too cool, nearly the whole
of the cotton region has received abundant
rainfall, which was of the greatest benefit.
The reports concerning apples are some
what more encouraging, but the outlook
fer most other fruits continues very poor.

"The health of the pdor of a large city
Is always a question of vital interest not
only to the city officials but to every clt
Ixen. It has been a source of much sat
isfaction to me to find that so largo a
number of working people in moderate
circumstances have accepted Peruna as
their family modlclne. It has cured a
large number of oases especially of ca
tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach,
and building up tho general health It
cannot fall but prove a help and bless-

I erally adopted and used. I have found
It an honest, reliable remedy and am
pleased to endorse It." C. D. Taylor, Clerk

antes:
"I have trcld Peruna as a tonic and have
found It of Inestimable value to Increase
the appetite and Induce . healthful sleep.
It seems to relieve the system of all waste
matter and to tone up and strengthen the
nerves in a remarkably short time. In
comparing it with other nerve tonics on
the market., I consider U vastly superior
and so do many others who have tried
It." Hon. Charles B. Scott
Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not by
temporarily stira'ilatlng them, but by re
moving the cause of weak nerves sys
temic catarrh. This is tho. only cure that
lasts. Remove the cause; nature will do
the rest. Peruna removes the cause.
