LINCOLN, Oct 19. 8plal TOwam.)
Both Attorney General Prout and Robert
Ryan pulIM off coups In the mipretne court
this morning and a mild aennatlon resulted.
By atlpulatlon Mr. Prout and M. F. Har
rington secured the advancemeVof the
Boyd county land cbjw and t? lirarlng
brcan this morning. At the coWuslon of
the arguments Judge Ryan, on behalf of
Land Commissioner Follmer, aked permis
sion to file an affidavit made by Mr. Foll
" mer. the sffldavit denying mnny of the alle
gations admitted by the demurrer filed by
the attorney general.
Attorney General Prout strenumjsly ob
jected to the Interference of Mr. Follmer
and Judge Ryan and made the statement
. that both of them had harassed him ever
since the cases were started.
Judge Ryan replied thnt he anked per-
mlralnn to file the affidavit In order that
the case could go before the court on a
true record and In answer to a question
' from the Judge said he did not believe that
the state's Interest was being looked after
as It should be. .Tn attempting to keep
Judge Ryan out of the cam Mr. Prout was
ably assisted by M. F. Harrington.
The court agreed to read the affidavit,
rxnd . this afternoon deride whether It
should become a part of the record of the
case. It Is feared by .Judge Ryan and Mr.
' Follmer that strould. the demurrer be sus
tained It will be overruled by the United
States court, ' and the opinion would have
great bearing on the canes now In the
federal , court. Mr. Ryan contends that
the true record In the case Is not before
the court.
i Contention ef Fell mer.
In his affidavit Mr. Follmer, after dis
cussing! the school lands of the state In
volved nd that the land upon which the
defendants now live, was taken ' by. the
state from the general government In lieu
of other lands, has this to aay of the de
murrer: ;' . ' ,
Affiant Is Informed and believes that 'In
that part of the anuwer demurred to there
are incorrect statements of fuct as follows:
First, thst the defendant Is the holder of
the equitable title and the state holds the
leK-al title In trust only; second, that the
defendant was In possesion of and was a
resident upon the lund In dlnpute before
the pannage of the aforesaid act by con
gress and before Its approval on March 3,
third, that the United States of Amer
ica has other lands of any value which can
be substituted or which the United States
Is willing to convey In lieu of the lands
In oontiovernylf the state will release Its
claim to said lands to the defendant; fourth,
there was never duly executed or delivered
to- the secretary of the Interior of the
United States In his official capacity a deed
by which the title of the state was affected;
fifth, that thel averment of the answer
That the state of Nebraska has not title
or Interest In said land," is false and that
If this case is decided on a general de
murrer admitting the above false state
ments to be true the state of Nebraska will
have a trial on the merits or on the facts
as they exist. ' ;
This affiant further says that the state
by demurring to the second defense In the
answer falls to present and take any ad
vantage of the fact that the defendant has
appealed to the secretary of the interior
of the United States of Atnerica fror.i the
ruling denying him the right to make a
homestead entry and tiling on the land In
controversy ana thai by said appeals the
rtillnej of the local land office was sus-
Affla'nt says that if the demurrer to the
eWohd defensettn the answer In Its present
condition shall be sustained there may Issue
from 'the. supreme--court- of the United
States a WTlt of error to review the ruling
of this court and that by reason of the
feneral demurrer conceding that the de
endant was a resident upon and In pos
uuinn nf tha lunrt In controversy for the
purpose of making a homestead filing before
tne aDove aci 01

tary reservation was approved there

court of the United States the proper con
struction and application of the provisions

.rii tune he in a- omitted entirely whereby
defendant will have a decided and unfair
advantag compared with what he Is en
titled to If the facts are properly presented
to, and passed upon, by this court.
Affiant therefore, as n officer of the
state of Nebraska, especially charged by
the constitution and statutes of said state
with the duty of caring for, protecting and
leasing the school lands of the said stste
protests against an adjudication of the

By overruling the demurrer filed by the
Kansas City ft Northwestern railway In
a case Involving the validity of the Ram

tically ' declares the law constitutional.
The case wai one wherein the former
elevator' company of Virginia asked the
court to compel . the railroad company to
lay a sidetrack to Its elevator. ,, Thi rail

overruled. . The railroad was given thirty
days in which to file an answer.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal "
the safest and moat efficient disinfectant
and auiifler In nature, but few realise Its
value when taken Into the human, system
for the same cleansing purpose. -
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of It the better: It Is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and im
purities always present In the stomach and
intestines and carries them out of the
syatem.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions or
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears snd Improves
the complexslon. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and Imlnently
ssfs cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect ln the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison catarrh.
All druggist sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is In Stuart s
Charcoal Losengee; they sre compose of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting losenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these loxenges will soon
tell In-a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the besuty
of It Is, that no posslbls harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrsry. great benefit
- A Buffalo physician in speaking or tne
beneftrs of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart s Charcoal Loxenges to all patients
suffering from as li stomsch and bowels,
i . .in. ih comolexlon and nurlfy
the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe
the live.- is greatly benefited by the dally
use of them: they cost but 26 cents a box
at drug stores, and although In some sense
a patent preparation, yet I believe I get
more and better charcoal In 8tuart's Char
coal Losenges than. In any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."

shown by the records on file ln the audi

The cattle returned this year number
1,857,569, or an increase In the number over
last year of 64,064 head. The assessment
of these cattle this year was $9,994,990. while
last year, with the number considerably
less, the assessment was $10,336,825, or a de
crease In the valuation under the new law
of 1341,835. This decrease In the valuation
Is due to a decrease In the average value
per head. Last year every head of cattle
In . the state, taken . on an average, was
valued at $4.46, while this year under the
new revenue law the average value a head
of cattle the state over was $3.49 and a frac
tion, a decrease of 97 cents a head under
the "Iniquitous" revenue law.
'As shown by the records ln the auditor's
office there were 2,140,416 head of hogs re
turned this year, or nn Increase In the
number over last yea" of 697,326 head. The
total assessment this year was $2,358,738,
while Inst year the assessment was $1,870,.
162. The average assessment per head this
year though .was $1.10, while, last year the
assessment was $1.29 per head, or a decrease
under tho 'Iniquitous" revenue law of 19
cents a licad.
The pnme decrease Is shown In the val
uation c." many other Items of personal
propert;-. allowing that the uncovering of
much per :nal property that has not hereto.
fore been assessed Is accountable for the
Increase In total valuations. Sheep last
year were assessed at 66 cents, and this
year at 62 cenU: watches last year were
assessed at $1.64, and this year at $1.34; car
riages and. wagons last year were assessed

ASYLUM IS HRAttLT COMPLETED
Xew RalldlntT at Norfolk to Be Credit
to the Slate.
NORFOLK. Neb., Oct 19. (Special.) Tt
Is now thought that the new Nebraska
state hospital for the Insane, which has
been In course of construction since lsst
spring, will be ready for occupancy about
January I. Tho four buildings are practi
cally finished from an exterior viewpoint
and the remaining three months will be
required for plastering, plumbing and the
like. By the first of the year It la thought
that the patients whose homes are In
northern Nebraska can be transferred from
the Lincoln and Hastings asylums to this
place. v
There are three handsome brick cottages
for the patients, together with a magnifi
cent administration building. All are two
stories high and all are absolutely fire
proof. Bricks torn from' the walls of the
buildings which went up In flames have
been used In spots which do not show. The
old west wing, which had been built but
a short time If fore the Are, stands at the
end of the grounds In fairly good condi
tion, but of no use. The' walls oontain
millions of bricks which could be used ln
reconstructing or building a new cottage.
The new water tower, which will contain
enough liquid to quench any kind of a
blaze, Is already in place. It was ln Nor
folk on a freight car when the fire broke
out. Officers for the new institution have
not yet been appointed and wl'.l not be. It
Is said, until after election.- A Lincoln
firm has been given the plastering con
tract. Collects Many Subscriptions.
YORK, Neb., Oct. 19.-(Special.) Maybe
he was deaf and dumb and perhaps he pre
tended, but the fact remains that a young
man camo here about two months ago,
pretending to be deaf and dumb, and solic
ited subscriptions to the Ladles' - Home
Journal, making a strong plea thar'he was
doing this for the purpose of further edu
cating himself. He did not ask more than
the $1 subscription, and succeeded In se
curing many subscriptions here. The sub
scribers waited patiently for their October
number and when it did not arrive they
wrote to the Ladles' Home Journal, telling
of their subscription and asking why the
October number had not been mailed. The
management at once wrote that they had
no solicitor and that the party was a fraud.
and they have offered a reward of $25 for
his arrest. The party sent out from Omaha
last week a printed postal card without
address stating that the subscriptions had
been received and that the November nam
ber would be mailed them. Many here be
lieve that this card was sent out to the
subscribers here for the purpose of al
laying suspicion so that the same work
could be carried on at other places in the
state.
Queer Freak of Lightning.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 19. (Spa
cial.V A remarkable escape from death 'by
lightning was experienced by tars: P. Olson
and three children late westerday after
noon. Mrs. Olson and the chl'dren were
at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
M. Peterson. Mr. Peterson was at his
work and Mrs. Peterson happened to be
out at Just the time when a bolt of light
ning struck the house and almost com
pletely wrecked It. The sides of the house
were bulged out six Inches. The studding
were split, the plastering ln every room
more or less knocked .down, the chimney
completely wrecked, a bedstead wrenched
out of all shape, every window was
knocked out of the house and the panels
to some of the doors split, and yet not
the slightest Injury was felt by any of the
four occupants. The accident occurred dur
ing a fierce thunder and lightning and
rainstorm that passed over the city about
4 o'clock, which was of short duration so
far as the electrical feature was concerned.
The temperature fU considerably during
the night and this morning the first snow
of the season fell, though It melted as
quickly as It reached the ground.
' Settlers Go to the Rosebud.
NORFOLK, Neb., Oct. 19. (Special.) An
other Influx of people toward the Rosebud
reservation has begun. It Is not a repe

summer, but the trains between Norfolk
and Bonesteel are Just about as long. It
Is a soberer lot of settlers, however, moving
In. This time they are people In earnest,
wno are going to tne noseDua not as a
gambling lark, but for seriously settling
and proving upon the claims which they
drew from Uncle Bam.
Owing to the fact that the moving on, ac
cording to law, will come In the dend of a
Dakota winter, those persons who drew are
making every possible preparation ahead of
time. In order that when the time comes for
living there they will have comfortable
quarters to occupy. Houses are aproutlng
up all over the country today.
The land office at Chamberlain Is said
to be doing a rushing business Just now,
too, owing to the fact that relinquishments
have become possible under the sixty-day
limit. Many are transferring their claims,
the average price being $400 to $500.

whom he was snxlous, for a consideration.
to send to Chicago for special treatment,
and that the receiver of the tetter might
have the case if he were willing to pay
the commission. It now transpires that
"Dr. Evans" Is ' a ' fictitious individual.
Eighteen of the physicians sddressed re
sponded favorably, and this will form the
basis of the proposed investigation. There
is a strong disposition on the part of the
profession to put an end to practices which
are contrary to professional ethics. On
physician who received "Dr. Evans' " com
munication Indignantly declared that It was
"a direct Insult," and another wrote "Dr.
