LINCOLN. Oct. HI (Special.) The lat
day of registration here was, if anything,
mora disappointing than the other two,
sue to some extent ponnlbly to the ex
tremely Inclement weather,' It having;
rained here continuously from early Ust
night. Neither party, however, can claim
much advantage In the registration, for
both will fall short of last year to a great
number. The per cent of fuMonlnts who
filled to come up la, however, greater than
that of the republicans, so there is no re
ilclng In that camp tonight. .
In the meantime most of the Active work
bl both the republican and fusion head
quarters has been completed and all that
regains to be done Is to draw In the lines
that have been thrown out during the
campaign. The fuslonlats are elated be
cause It Is rainy, they claim, because
rainy weather means that the pops will
come to town, being willing to sacrifice
a rainy day for the sake of the party.
This belief of the funlonlsts that all the
pops live on farms may be well taken, but
that does not mean, said a leading repub
lican, that all the people living on farms
aim fuslonlsts. In fact, during the last
few years the great Increase In the ranks
of the republican party has come largely
from the farms, and IT this rainy weather
makes It Impossible for a populist to work,
thus giving him an excuse to come to town,
it will work the same way on the repub
lican farmer voter.
Anyhow, the republicans are not uneasy
whether It rains, pours or Just stays dry.
The state committee has done good work
anil the party la so well organised over
the state that It will be ready for any sur
prises the two-headed . aggregation may
try to spring. The work of the two com
mittees, of course, now will be devoted
largely1 to getting the nonreglstered voter
to swear In his vote and as the time draws
near It Is predicted that many will do this.
There Is little .expuse for any voter to
stay at home, because not only have the
workers been among these people, who al
ways vote, but they have done a good
tunt among the stay-at-home men.
Chairman Lindsay is not Just yet Issuing
any statement as to whether Judge Barnes'
majority will be 10,000 or 15,000, but he is
confident of success and he ought to be, for
the reports received at the headquarters
have been most flattering. Strange as It
may seem .Chairman Weber of me populist
headquarters Is also confident, but he bases
all his hopes on the wet weather, contrary
to the national impression that democrats
don't like water.
Divide Tartles on Ticket.
The supreme court. In extra session this
afternoon,' granted a peremptory writ of
mandamus to James R. Farris and Milton
Schwlnd to compel County Clerk Frye to
divide the names of the populists aad dem
ocratic parties on the official ballot, using
the circle after each Instead of placing
them In brackets, as. upon the sample
ballot Issued by Secretary of State Marsh,
As soon as the writ was applied for yes
terday afternoon Mr. Frye gave an order
for tickets with the names divided, having
no Intention of taking advantage of either
of the parties composing the fusion aggre
gation. The populists, however, refused to
top the proceedings and the supreme court
had another opportunity to .make a ruling.
Just why the division Is wanted In Lan
caster county does not appear, inasmuch
as the parties are fused here and both have
endorsed the republican district Judicial
nominees.

Coroner Hawes of Falrbury was here to
day to have Dr. Nicholson of the State

Harvester Offices to Consolidate.

Bat
It Has Proves of Interest aad
Common sense would suggest that If one
wishes to become fleshy and plump It can
only result from the food we eat and digest,
and that food should be albuminous or flesh
forming food, like eggs, beefsteak, and ce
reals. In other words, the kinds of food that
make flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our dally bills of fare.
But the trouble Is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the stom
ach, from abuse and overwork, does not
properly digest and assimilate It, which Is
the reason so many people remain thin and
Under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the food forming beef.
teak and eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although they
may have no particular pain or inconven

If such persons would Uy their prejudices
suuae ana make a regular practice of taklnsr
after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly
and thoroughly digested, because these tab
lets contain the natural peptones and d'la
tase which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach la

Vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flash forming food meat, ema.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the moat

VANDERBILT WINS STRUGGLE
Gets Permission to Closo Pnblle Hlaa-
way After a Protracted
Fight.
NEW TORK. Oct SI. After a struggle
lasting eighteen months William K. Van-
derbllt, Jr., has succeeded In gaining per
mission to close the public highway leading
to Lake Success, on his Long Island estate.
near Hempstead.
Falling to purchase the lake after acquir
ing his estate In and around that body of
water, Mr. Vanderbllt asked for the lease
of a strip of ground that forms the connecting-
link between the old road and the
waters of the lake. There was nothing of
record to show that the board of trustees
of North ITempstesd ever acquired owner
ship of the disputed right-of-way to the
lake save by use. The Idea that Mr. Van
derbllt would stock the ctrem with fish and
hold it as a private preserve raised much
opposition.
Previous to the election a year ago he
made an offer of 850,000 to the town for the
lake. It was determined to settle the ques
tion by the ballot. So intense was the feel
ing that the vote polled was more than that
at the presidential election and the offer
was rejected.
Finally Mr. Vanderbllt appeared before
the trustees and applied for a leave run
ning nlnety-n'ne years. In return for which
concession he proposed opening a road to
the lake by another route. His opponents
still refused to capitulate, but the matter
was put to a vote of the board and he won.

noeent of the Crime.
CHETENNE. Wyo., Oct. 81. (Special
Telegram.) There were sensational devel
opments this afternoon In the case of Tom
Horn, the range detective, who Is sen
tenced to be hanged on November 20 for
the murder ot Willie Nlckell, when his
attorneys petitioned Governor Chstterton
to commute the sentence to life Imprison
ment. A Urge number of affidavits were
submitted with the appeal, and In a' num
ber of cases the affiants charge that Tom
Horn did not kill the boy.
Miss Gwendoline Myrtle Klmmell, a
school teacher, who lived at Iron Moun
tain when the crime was committed, but
now of Kansas City, swears that Victor
Miller, son of Nlckell's neighbor, confessed
that he killed the boy.
Ollle Whatman, an Iron Mountain ranch
man. makes the same statement
Some persons who testified against Horn
now swear that they were Jobbed wit
nesses, and also swear that Horn's con
fession was a put-up job, and that ha
really made no confession at all.
Governor Cbatterton has taken the mat
ter under advisement, and will render a
decision next week.
While the appeal Is strong, and has a
tendency to create doubt. It Is believed
the governor will refuse to Interfere with
the action of the courts, and Tom Horn,
the friend of General Miles and Colonel
Cody, scout and trailer, must hang No
vember 20.
Nothing Is being done at the county Jail
to prepare for an execution, and nothing
will be done until the governor renders his
decision.

The Facts about
Oklahoma
' "The growth of the Territory has been so rapid, and Its
products so numerous and of such great value, that the actual
tacts about Oklahoma are apt to excite an expression of doubt.
But to take a trip across the territory In harvest tlmeV and see
the army of busy farmers gathering in the sheaves, would for
ever relieve one of such an impression. The population of Ok
lahoma In 1280 was 0.000; ten years later it reached S45.0OO,
and today It Is 700,000, and still growing. During the past year
600 miles of new railroads have been built maklr.g a total mile
age of 1,000 miles." Christian Herald. BepU 2, l!w3.
Your opportunity to visit this wonderful
section occurs Tuesday, Nov. 3, wheu the ltock

disease advances until the face looks pale
or sallow, puffy or dark circles under the
eyes, feet swell, and sometimes the heart
sets badly.
There Is comfort In knowing that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder remedy, fulfils every wish
In quickly relieving such troubles. It cor
rects inability to hold urine and scalding
pain In passing It, and overcomes that un
pleasant necessity of being compelled to get
Lup many times during the night to urinate.
Swamp-Root a Blessing to Women
My kidneys and bladder gave me great
trouble for over two months and I suffered
untold misery. 1 became weak, emaciated.
and very much run down. I had great diffi
culty in retaining my urine, and was
obliged to pass water very often night and
day. After 1 had used a cample bottle of
Dr. Kilmer's Bwamp-Root. sent me on my
request. I experienced relief, and 1 immedi
ately bought of my druggist two large bot
tles and continued taking It regularly. I
am pleased to say that Bwamp-Root cured
me entirely. I can now stand on my feet
all day without any bad symptoms what
ever. Swamp-Root has proved a, blessing
to me.
