ul.-o affirms the constitutionality of the

that where general and specific provisions

Tlio suit Ih ai action In quo warran'.o

of the urt, particularly that part of the

The general question relating to the con

before the court several times. The at
tack on the Bouth Omnhu charter was
directed against specific provisions as to
when and how the appointment shall be
made, and term of office, the qualifications
of members of the board, together with
the powers sod rt'ltles of that lody. Fol

.'. The life sentence ot James Robinson of
I Themo.i co'.:nty, rcmvloted of murder, Is
ennfl'med by the supreme court. He was
charged with tne murder of Elmer Thayer
n June in, 1P02. C.'.t of the contentions of
the defence was that the crime wm com
mltted Itv Arthur county and that the two
count' s never were legally consolidated,
"but tha court holds otherwise. It was also
ocnterd? l trust tl:s verdict was not sustained
by the evidence, because the state failed to
prove a tr.ott'-e for the killing. The court
"savs on th!? latter point: "Thl contention

Hint -hor nil of ho essential elements of

holds that Arthur' county Is attached to
McPhersof. county and Is under the Juris
diction bf the latter county.
Itnltnr on Freeholders.
The supreme court has decide! that where
certain persons are made freeholders for
the purpose of qualifying them to become
signers of an application for liquor licenses
It Ih not competent for the board granting
; the license to count such signers upon the
petition. This came down today In the
case -wherein J. N. Colglazler and others
ought a reversal of the decision of the
vllbtge board of Shubert and the district
court of Klchardson county which granted
a licence to sell liquor to Charlea McClary
and A. 7.. Martin. The evidence showed
that several of the signers had become
freeholders merely for the purpose of sign
ing tho petition The court reversed the
decision of the lower court.
The supreme court today decided that the
net of the lata legislature in masing an
ipri.pijtlon for the purchase of statutes
to be compiled by J. K. Cobby and given to
ti-embcra of the legislature and .state
officers was a valid art. thus reversing the
decision of the district court of IjmcasteP

It has not been many months since many
school districts In the state were crying
for any kind of an Instructor. Just so she
would promise not to get married, should
.the law contemplated be enacted It would
make a dearth of teachers such as this
year has not witnessed. It Is the intention
of those Interested In the welfare of the
minds of tho youth of the state to have a
law passed that all applicants for certifi
cates, before standing an examination.
shall have secured normal school training
or training In some school similar. In ad
dition to the academic course.
As planned now applicants for a third
grade certificate shall have attended a nor
mal or similar school for at least one term;
applicants for a second grade certificate
shall have attended for at least two terms
and applicants for a first grade certificate
shall have attended for at least one year.
It Is contemplated, however, that the law
shall not be effective for two yenrs after
is passed In order that teachers can
adapt themselves to the new conditions.
Men on the Car Platform
Thankful for SwampRoot.
Attacked by Diseases Due to Cold, Exposure and the Terrible Strain of Their Work, Alotormen
and Conductors Are Alade Strong by This Wonderful Remedy.
The daily work of a motorman is enough to break down a constitution of steel. He must face cold and storm day and night. Cooped up on his narrow
platform, he must stand while the bitter winds pierce him to the bone, no matter how heavy his clothing. Every minute he must be on the alert, and in the midst
of suffering his judgment must be quick and sure, for an error may cost a human life. Tired and hungry after' hours of work that keep his nerves tense as fiddle
strings, he sits in the corner of a car to devour a cold, hasty meal from a tin pail. These brave men are exposed to risks as great as those of the battlefield. For
tunately, when nature can stand the strain no longer, the railroad men know where to find new strength and energy. The statements printed below tell of
wonderful cures by Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy.

CASS COVXTV MAS PARTS WITH CASH
Starts Ont to See the Sights with an
Accommodating- Stranger.
PIATTSMOUTH, Neb., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Fred Burton, who claims his home
near FlatUmouth, went to Council Bluff
a fow days ao and upon his arrival there,
tt Is said, had exactly (100 In his pocket.
Boon after his arrival there he formed the
acquaintance of a htranger, who asked him
11 kinds of questions. The young man
from Cass county became very confidential
and Informed the stranger that he had been
saving his money for noma time and that
he had come to that city to take a much
needed ret from his arduous duties on the
farm. The stranger became intensely In
terested In Burton's story and at once vol
unteered to shw the young man the town.
This being agreeable to the man from
Cas county, the two started to see the
sights. Several hours later, whllo they
were visiting a saloon, the stranger excused
hlmfelf for a moment, mylng that lie
wished to step Into a wine room. The
minutes passed, and Burton waited, but his
comiajilon failed to return. About that
time Burton made, the discovery that Ills
pocketbook and money were missing, and
that he was among strangers In a strange.
city without any money. Iitir he reported
the matter to the police officers, but thus
far they have been ur.ahle to fled the m"noy
or the man who stole It.
Why Swamp-Root Gives Strength.
Almost every one, from personal experience, knows that the effects of any kind of severe physical strain are felt, first of all. in the 'small of the back in
other words, in those Vital Organs, the Kidneys. This is astrue in the case of the very powerful man as it is with one of less strength, and it is especially true
whenever the kidneys are weak. Weak and unhealth kidneys are responsible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease, therefore when through
neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is pjrmitted to continue, fatal results are sure to folUw.
SWAMP-ROOT STRENGTHENS THE KIDNEYS and through them helps all the other organs When this wonderful medical discovery can
put the human body into condition to stand the hard work and the tremendous strain of the motormen, it is easy to understand how it has cured thousands upon
thousands in the more ordinary and less strenuous walks of life.
No matter how many doctors you have triedr no matter how much money you have spent on other medicines you really owe it to yourself and to your
family to at least give Swamp-Root a trial. Its strongest friends today are those who had almost given up hope of ever becoming well again.
To Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do for YOU, a Sample Bottle Will Be Sent Free by Mail.
EDITOIIIAL NOTICE Swainp-Iioot is the new discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is used in the leading hospitals, recommended by
