have been sold under foreclosure proceed
ings. The first sale was to satisfy the first
snd second mortgage bonds, and wss sub
ject to the liens of the city of Lincoln for
axes. The bondholders took the property
n and inter organises tne uncoin Trac
tion company. This corporation has vastly
Impioved the old property and extended
Its lines.
The property sold today does not Include
any of the additions made by the new
owners. Ms sale was ordered to satisfy
four Hens, aggregating nearly $2,000,000. Of
these liens the city has a first one for
about IM.WKl and a third one for about
f48.fliA. The second Hen Is that of the
holders of the first mortgage, bonds and
sggregbtes nearly fl.OOO.OiiO. The fourth
Hen Is for the second mortgage bonds and
Is approximately $1,000,000.
City Attorney Strode hap been exhaust
ing every resource at his command to
mnnemrr so Hint the city may realize
upon Its third Hen, which Is for Rapid
Transit paVIng taxes. The owners of the
traction company, who have not been held
liable for these taxes by the court, have
sought to prevent the property being sub
jected to the payment of It. Obviously
the only way In which the city could re
alise upon this third Hen was to either
force the trsctlon company to bid high
enough to cover the first three Hens or
get somebody else to buy at a figure that
would liquidate all three,
Ills last move, a clever one. was taken
this morning and It proved successful.
t'nder an order of the three Judges of
the district court the purchaser Is not re
quired to accompany the bid he makes
with the cash for the full amount thereof,
but that the amount of the bid shall be
payable upon the further order of the
court, and before n confirmation of the
sale shall be heard by.lt. The sheriff was
Instructed to require the successful bidder
to deposit $500 In cash as a guarantee of
his good faith.

Any honest person who suffers from Rheu

was rewarded. I found a costly chemical
that did not disappoint ms as other Rheu

icians everywhere.
I do no meau that Dr. Shojp'a Rhev
matlo Cure can turn bony Joints Into flash
again. That is Impossible. But it will
drive from the blood the poison that causes
tla and swelling, and then that Is the end
ot Rheumatism. I know this so well that
I will furnish for a full month my Rheu
mario cure on trial. I cannot cure all casej
with In a month. It would be unreasouahla
to aspect :hat. But most cases will yield

Changes In Land Laws.
If President Roosevelt can bring It about
there will be during the coming regular
session of congress a revision of the timber
and stone, commutation, desert land and
forestry laws of the United States. In
order to be thoroughly advised as to the
present laws and their inharmonious rela

ecutive committee, consisting of the com
missioner of the penerai land office, W. A.
Richards. F. II. Newell of the Geological
