MNCOLN, Bept. 14. (Special.) John II.
McClay, member of the late legislature
Ind father of the Lincoln monument b tl
Which provided that the Mate appropriate
)ll,000 for the erection of a monument In
the eapltol (rounds to the memory of the
peat emancipator, the money to be avall
Ible when the city of Lincoln should have
tontributed a like amount, has brought
lult In the supreme court to mandamus
Bovernor Mickey to compel him to appoint
a commission of five to select the site upon
Which to erect the monument
The suit la a friendly one brought to test
the constitutionality of the law, at the
luggestlon of Governor Mickey, who made
the stipulation when he signed the bill,
the bill passed both the house and the
senate In regular order, but In the en
grossing room, by some oversight. It was
fceld up and did not receive either the sig
nature of Speaker Mockett or the presi
dent of the senate. McClay dug up the
bill after the session had adjourned and
at his solicitation Governor Mickey signed
It with the understanding that suit would
be brought to test Its constitutionality be
fore any contract was let for the building
f the monument. A movement Is now on
foot to mandamus the people of Lincoln
to compel them to donate the 110,000.
Goveraor la a Wreck.
Governor Mickey has returned to Lin
coln after an unsuccessful attempt to
reach Muscatine, la., there to address a
conference of the Methodist church. He
was prevented from reaching Ills destina
tion by a wreck near Boymour, la. The
tender flew the track and drew off with It
tha mall car, baggage car and a passenger
Coach. The sleeper upon which the gov
ernor was riding did not leave the track.
One hundred feet from where the train
left the track, said the governor, was a
high embankment which the train would
have undoubtedly gone over had the wreck
ocourred there. The governor managed to
get back to Fairfield and home this morn
ing. The accident occurred shortly after
midnight Saturday. No one was Injured,
Injured by Falling Skrlla-ht.
Xn tha presence of his wife and her sister,
Frank Beeley, a postal clerk running be
tween here and Omaha, was dangerously
Injured late this afternoon by b?lng struck
on the head by a heavy piece of glass
that fell from the skylight In the Ewlng
Clothing company store on O street, lie
was rendered unconscious by the Mow and
his head was severely cut. He was taken
to a hospital In tf.e police Ambulance and
Ms recovery Is diubtful. Sceley and his
wife were In tha store making some pur
chases when he was Injured. The sky
light had been broken and fastened with
boards some time previous. One of the
boards gave way allowing a heavy piece
Of glass to fall.
Admission Foa at Penitentiary.
For the first time In several years admis
sion waa charged visitors to the state peni
tentiary during the state fair. ' Over 3.00)
persons paid 10 cents each to get In and
look at the unfortunates. Warden Beemer
made the order to charge admission to all
parties who were not armed with a pass
Igned by the governor, or without the
sanction of tha Board of Public Lands and
Buildings.' It Is thought, however, that no
member of the board will seriously object
to parties paying their way In, Inasmuch
as two extra guides had to be employed to
how visitors through, as one day over 700
people called there. Years sgo It cost IS
cents to be shown through the Institution
but the admission fee was abolished several
years ago.
Ut Itork Insurance.
Tha Phoenix Mutual Live Stock Insur
ance company Is a new Institution recog
nised by the Insurance department of the
auditor's office. It was organized In Lincoln
under tha law enacted by the late legisla
ture for the Insurance of live stock. It's

)g , School Hoasa Fight.
'M Out In Hall county a merry school con-
test la being waged in school district No.
and already several fights have occurred
and the case has gone through the district
court and la now In the supreme court.
It is all over an attempt to move the school
house an mile from its present slfe. The
school has been located at its present site
for the last fifteen years, but, according
to the brief of the appellant, Joelah Laid,
on June 30, 1902, at the annual meeting In
said district It was voted to "move the
choolhouae to the northeast corner of the
northeast one-fourth of section 19, town-v-eblp
10, range 10." Eighteen votes were
V cast for the removal and seven ogilnit It.
The brief stated that at no time waa there
ever any further des gnatlon given r.or was
there any direction given for the purchase
of a site nor for the expenditure of money
for the removal. ,
The brief said there had been much con
tention regarding the location of the
choolhouae for some time. A vote was
taken to remove the school and carried,
though prevented by Injunction. At the
meeting, the brief said, many fights oc
. c sired and much bitter feeling was shown.
The appellant believes that the school is
most conveniently located now for the
benefit of the pupils attending and brands
the attempt to move the building as self
ish neas on the part of those who want it
nearer their homes. He prays the court to
snake the Injunction perpetual.

School Attendance Increases.
The public schools of Lincoln opened
this morning with an attendance largely
In excess of last year. The attendance la
now over 1.0U0. No classes will be heard
until tomorrow. One of the features aided
this year that is expected to be of much
bwient to the pupils Is the dlnlngroom,
where the pupils can buy hot lunches. This
Is in charge of the Woman's club and l
new and clean from start to finish. It Is
located In the bisement of the old bu Id ng.
The opening of school. It was thought for
a while, would make a scarcity of mes
senger boys, but the manager of both the
Postal and the Western Union Telegraph
companies and the managers of depart
ment stores said that while most of their
help had quit, enough applications had
been recelvtd during the last few days to
take all the vacant place.
Street Railway Taxes Again.
The city of Lincoln ruid the Lincoln Trac
tion company are at II again over the col
lection of taxes alleged to be due the city
by the traction compnny. It Is In the su
preme court now under the title of the
State ex rel Lincoln Traction company.
New York Becurlty and Trust company and
the New York Guaranty and Indemnity
company against E. P. Holmes, Judge of
the district court of Lancaster county.
The plaintiffs ask the supreme court for
a mandamus to compel Judge Holmes to
vacate the restraining order Issued by blm
Jn August to prevent the sale of the prop
erty ai ine instance oi ine secona- lien
holder, the New York Security and Trust
compsny. The case will be argued and sub
mitted before the whole court at the first
session of the September term, to be held
tomorrow.
The ground of the application Is the fail
ure of the city to file a supersedeas bond
to stay the operation of the order for a sale
which had been granted when the man
date from the supreme court reached the
district court In the appeal case In which
the city lost. There waa no application to
the court to fix the bond according to the
petition filed this morning in the supreme
court and there was no action on the part
of the court fixing the amount of Its own
motion. For this reason It Is claimed that
there has been no supersedeas, since the
order of the court restraining the sale of
the property Is of Itself not a stay bond
sufficient to, stop the sale of the property.
Held for Abandonment.
i
. George H. Englehart was bound over to
the district court this afternoon In the sum
of 1300 under the abandonment law passed
by the last legislature. Englehart Is mar
ried and is accused by Maggie Eberly with
being the father of her child, which he de
serted as soon as it was born. Englehart
denies the charge.

yesterday, but his friends are wholly un
able to account for his strange action. It

large bodies of men In the working out of
tactical operations, the present reservation,
large as It Is, is Inadequate. The War de

written consent of 140 land owners adjoin
ing the reservation whose aggregate hold
ings amount to seventy square miles or 44,
829 acres to the military authorities enter
ing upon and occupying their holdings

SHAW TO PUNISH THE BANKS
Those Which Withdraw Circulation
Cannot Have Government
Deposits.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-flccretary Shw
has returned to Washington. It is said
that he at once txgnn the consideration of
measures to punish those banks which
havs been withdrawing their circulation and
thereby interfering with the orderly de
velopment of the secretary's financial pol
icy, and that he will place these banks on
a "black list" and refuse to make any more
such deposits as they now have in their
keeping.
At any rate. Secretary Shaw Is credited
with a determination to show them that he
does not approve of their rush to with
draw circulation Just at this time, when the
money is most needed In the movement of
the crops and In fall business generally.
As soon as the secretary's announcement
was made that he had a fund of 1)0.000,000
which he could use In case of emergency to
prevent any unusual stringency In the
money market In crop-moving time, govern
ment bonds began to rise.
Many banks having bonds on deposit
with the comptroller of the currency to se
cure their circulation, began applying to
retire their circulation, so that they could
sell their bonds at present high prices.
The law fixes a limit of $3,000,000 as the
maximum amount that can be retired In
any one month. That limit for September
and October already has been reached and,
at the close of business Saturday, Treas
urer Roberts had received applications for
the month of November to the amount of
$1,727,400.
Such rapid retirement of circulation Just
at this time might produce serious results
If the Treasury department were not In
such good condition as to afford assistance,
should It become necessary.
But Secretnry Shaw does not like to have
his hand forced this way by the banks, and
the result probably will be that those banks
which have been In such hnate to sell their
bonds hereafter will be denied favors from
the Treasury department, such as the priv
ilege and prestige of holding government
funds.
Heretofore almost no restrictions have
been placed on applications, but hereafter
the comptroller of the currency will require
banks to make formal application through
the proper officials, and confirm this by a
resolution of the board of directors. The
comptroller will Insists that only applica
tions made in good faith will be placed on
the list, and It is believed the requirement
that the directors must first act something
not heretofore required will tend to limit
the number of applications.

baldness. Nine-tenths of the hair troubles
are caused by dandruff. Without dandruff,

IRRIGATION EXPERTS GATHER
Meeting of the Rational Congress May Be
Largest of Kind.
SPECIMENS OF FINE GRAIN AND FRUIT
Conrentlon Will Re t'nlque In Regard
to the Display of the Results
of Water on Desert
Land.
OGDEN. Utah, Bept. 14.-When Senator
W. A. Clark of Montana, as president of
the National Irrigation congress, calls to
order the first session of the annual meet
ing of that body In the Tabernacle tomor
row at 9:30 o'clock there will probably be
gathered there the largest number of repre
sentatives to an Irrigation congress that
have gathered since the Inception of the
movement In 1S1. Every train today
brought delegates by hundreds. It is ex
pected that nearly 1.500 representatives of
boards of trades, commercial and business
organizations of all kinds, and state and j
municipal governments of the great west j
will be present and take part In the dis
cussions". Among the speakers will be Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, Senators Clark of Mon
tana, Dubois cf Idaho, Warren of Wyoming
and Burton of Kansas. Senators Reruns
and Smoot of Utah are expected to speak
Informally. Every phase of the subject of
Irrigation will be discussed, and the closely
allied subject of colonisation of the great
plains and ranges of the west will receive
great attentm. Special Illustrations of
what Irrigation la doing for the west will
not be lacking. From all quarters are com
ing large exhibits of grain and fruits, grown
In soil that a few years ago was considered
utterly useless, to compete for the rich
prises end valuable cups offered, and the
horticultural exhibit bids fair to be one
of the most unique as well as most elabor
ate ever shown. Even from across the
great American desert, drawn in six "prai
rie schooners," Is coming an exhibit of
fruit and grain grown In the midst of
alkali wastes. Practical Illustrations of
methods of Irrigation will be given and a
good part of one day will be devoted by
the delegates to this feature. Another Im
portant subject that will come up Is the
question of affiliation with the Trans
misslselppl congress, and it is expected that
before the congress adjourns some definite
action will be taken.

"We make no misleading; statements or unbusinesslike propositions
to the afflicted, neither do we promise a cure In n few days In order
to seoore their patronage, but wo arnarantee a perfect, safe and last

after-effects In the system, nnd at the lowest possible cost for hon

If you are a victim of Nervo-Sexual De
bility, with all its distressing symptoms,
you certainly do not intend to remain so.
Vou have only one life to live. The fact
that you have taken Inferior remedies to
no avail nhould not destroy your faith In
all treatment, nor your hope of a rational
cure. I have evolved a special treatment
for Nervo-Sexual Debility that is uniformly
successful In cases where success was be
fore and by other doctors deemed impos
sible. It does not stimulate tumporarl'y,
but restores permanently. It allays the Ir
ritation of the delicate tissues surrounding
the lax and unduly expanded seminal ducts,
contracting them to their normal condition,
which stops night emissions, dries up day
drains, and prevents prematureness. It
tones up and strengthens the blood vessels
that carry nourishment to the weakened
parts, which regain full power, slse and
vigor. Meanwhile all other symptoms im
prove, and the patient realises that a great
blight hss been lifted from his life. I also
cure quickly, safely and thoroughly
Stricture, Varicossla, Emission, Irapofcncy, Blood
Poison, Syphilis, Rectal, Kidney
and Urinary Diseases,
and all diseases and weaknesses of men due to Inheritance, evil habits, excesses
cr the result of specific diseases.
