CRAZY CLAIMS OF FUSI0N1STS Chairman "Weber Gives Oat Asother Lot of Election Prediction!. m ROOSEVELT CONCEDED FIFTY THOUSAND Paaloa Headquarter Arc Glatmr " Deserted sad Defeat la Admitted ' la Spite of Kstra.Taa.aat Assertions. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Not. a (Special. )-In making hi prediction of the outcome of the elec tion next Tuesday Chairman Weber of the JKipullnt state committee Bald Roosevelt would carry the Btate by 50,000. but In pre dicting the flection of Uerge he put In a proviso. The legislature, he Bald, la In doubt, but maybe there will be a landslide and the fuslonlsts would carry It. His statement follows: I am confident we will elect Bergs and that Wattke will be the second man on our ticket. I am not able at this time to give out any figures, but I am confident that we have enough republlcana who are gng to vote for Merge to elect him, providing the democrat and populists act out and vote. In mv opinion the vote this year will be very light, propahly not more than 215 -Oft) or fcn.000. Roosevelt I feel confluent will get 50,000 plurality. The legislature la In doubt. Mr. Weber would not pay whether Wat eon would get a bigger vote than Parker and would make no prediction regarding the two leaser candidates. At the fusion headquarter employes teemed to be taking thlnga eaay and an ab mnce of any Jubilant spirits wii noticeable late this afternoon. Chairman Allen of the other end of the aggregation la In Omaha trying to do something, and Mr. Weber, Secretary Farrls and a few girls are wind ing up the campaign by sending out a number of circulars. The meanest thing the fuslonlsts have done lately was In sending out a number of circular pretending to be a history of the Hlckey-Bamuelaon case from Polk county. The circular Is printed In Swedish and la being circulated among the Swedes. It purports to tell from the records of that case. The story Is about as true as the one that was printed In the World-Herald some time ago. The Swedish circular slanders the governor all through the story, and does not contain what the rec ords show In the case. Fasinmlata Are Doleful. A numher of fuslonlsts are trying to keep up their courage during these last few days, but the confident air of a week ago Is gone and the ono cry la that "we have been so handicapped that It would be a miracle If we landed a single state officer." One democrat said today: "We would have had a splendid chance to win had the fusion convention nominated a good ticket. Instead of that the only man on the ticket who had been heard of at all Is Derge, and he wasn't known outHido of the First district. Johp N. Baldwin's Interest In his campaign nas materially lessened his chances of election. John N. Baldwin would not support an anti-railroad man unless he knew Just what he was doing. If Bergs Is sincere In being an antl-rnllroad man you can mark It down that Baldwin would not support him." In this county the fuslonlsts did not put up a county ticket, but they did nominate one candidate for the senate and one for the house of representatives. Neither, of course, will bo able to overcome the great republican majority here, though Chair man Burgess will be scratched to a certain extent. The fuslonlsts started out to make their fight on Joo Burns, but as Burns has nil the republicans behind him, the univer sity and a big slice of the fuslonlsts, this fight has not developed anything serious In 'the case of Burns and the fight has switched to Burgess. Tibbies St Ira Up the Animals. In his week's Insue of the Independent, the leading populist paper of the west, the editor taken a few more pokes at his dem ocratic) allies that will not cement any closer the relations between tha two par ties. In one column he pleads for the elec tion of Ilerga and In the sutne issue he hands the democrats a few pokes Ilka those: , The burden of Mr. Bryan's plea to tha populists means nothing more nor less than that there is no excuse fi.r the exUtence of the people's party. Nor is there any excuse tor any other "third" party. You must choose between the tw.o old. rotten, pluto cratic outfits. If they are both rotten, you can only hold your none and go ahead, voting the Infamous deals made by corrupt politicians. Thank heaven, there is too much manhood left in American voters to follow such advice. Thank heaven, there Is always an escape for those who will not violate their consciences by "choosing be tween evils." And thin vear. mora dally than any other year, there cun be nol excuso ior any man who ever claimed to be a popullHt, or even friendly to popu lism, not voting for Watson and Tibbies. Hever Hi months ago Thomas W. Lawson, who has eprurg Into International fume as the author of tne exposure of the methods of the "Standard Oil crowd." published In Everybody Magaaine, offered to contrib ute the sum of Jluo.OOO to the democratic national committee. The offer of Mr. Law son was upon the condition that Patrick MeCarren, chairman of the executive com mittee of the democratic committee, would publicly and explicitly deny that he la regularly employed as a trusted political agent by the "Standard Oil crowd." Not withstanding that Judge Parker has charged the Roosevelt committee with re. celving trust contributions for campa'gn expenses; . notwithstanding the claim that the democratic party is waging war upon trusts and the hypocritical plea that they needed funds. Patrick McCarren has not dared to publicly deny Mr. Liwnon't charge, even though a dimple denial would supply his committee with 1100.000. In view of such evidence Is there anyone so rldlcu- PERMANONCE OF CURE The Chief Merit. Many so-called pile remedies will afford tha user slight temporary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women especially, after having tried every preparation recommended for the cur of Piles, have come to the con clusion, that there Is no cure except by an operation. This Is rightfully viewed with dread, because of the shock to the delicate nervous system of women, and n any of those afflicted, have resigned themselves to the situation with never a thought that there Is any help In sight for them. W Invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose address Is given below. "I feel It my duty to recommend the Pyramid F'le Cure, for after suffering ten jears with a most distressing form of Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this cun write to Mar garet Brady. 1M Whitman St., Cleveland, Ohio." Ten months later she writes "I am glad to say that I am still perfectly free from Plies, and have not had the slightest trouble since I first used your remedy. I era well known In Cleveland And have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure extensively here. I take pleasure In doing so as It saved me from an operation, which I al ways dreaded, and you are assured the remedy can have no firmer advocate than I." Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical, that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures, but cure to stay cured. It la In the form of s suppository; can be ap plied In the privacy of the home, directly to the part affected, and does Its work quickly and painlessly. Druggists rcll this famous remedy for fifty cents a package, and we urge all suflerers to buy a package now and give It a trial tonight. Accept no substitutes. Write Pyramid Drug Co.. Marshall MIoh. fur thulr little book on the cause and cure ef Piles, which la tmt free for the asking.

Neb., Nov. 5.-(Speclal.)-Charltably ' disposed persons In Hastings yesterday raised a small collection for a man who. according to his story, had saved the fast Chicago-Denver passenger train on the Burlington from' a bad, wreck and had been rewarded by the railroad company with a free ride for a few miles. Che man was In destitute circumstances and was on his way from Sutton to Grand Island, where he hoped to enter a charitable in stitution. As he was walking along the Burlington tracks two miles east of Saron vllle he saw a broken rail. The fast Chicago-Denver passenger was overdue and the man conjectured that should the train run over the broken rail a wreck would be probable. He retraced his steps eastward and lingered and halted the train a few rods from the defective rail. . Section men were sent for, who repaired the breach and the train proceeded. He was taken aboard and brought to this city and provided with transportation to Grand Island. He showed the transportation to many people here In confirmation of his story, and was loud In protesting that a collection taken aboard the train had amounted to only $1.50, given by the trainmen. Some believed his tale and another collection was taken here which netted him $15.40 and sent him on hla way rejoicing. IGNORES CLAIM OF INDIANS New Claimant Appears for Valuable Tract of Land Near Preston. HUMBOLDT, Neb., Nov. 5. (Special. 1 A new claimant has appeared for the little tract of Indian land near Preston upon which Dr. Wells recently filed homestead papers, claiming that it had 'never been taken up and was open for settlement. An Indian agent who came up from Kansas dispossessed Dr. Wells, Informing him that the land belonged to tho Indians and was not to be considered a part of the reserva tion thrown open to homesteaders many years ago. As the strip contained about twenty acres, the market value of which was nearly $100 per acre, the doctor released his claim reluctantly. Now It Is under stood other parties have Information direct from the Department of the Interior to the effect that the ruling of the Indian agent Is wrong, that the land belongs to the gov ernment and Is open to homestead entry, although why It has been overlooked all these years remains something of a mys tery. James Powell, another resident of Fall City, at once filed on the piece and announces his intention of moving upon It and holding It despite the claims of the agent. The result will likely bo a con troversy In the courts over the right of possession and the litigation will probably be expensive, as It Is a valuable pickup for someone. MOTHER RECOVERS HER CHILDREN Little Ones Kidnaped by Their Father Founil by Officers from Kansas. BEATRICE, Neb., Nov. 5.-(8pecHl Tele gram.)

A. Sever ance. ' Lindsay and his wife separated recently and one week ago he secured posses-Ion of the children.

MORE LAND FOR HOMESTEADERS Tract la North Platte District Which Was Withdraw to Be Offered. NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Nov. 5.-(Spe-clsl Telegram.) All the land In the tract which was withdrawn from entry within the Jurisdiction of the North Platte United States Innd office, except a narrow strip along the North Platte river, has been thrown open to entry under the Klnkald act providing for one section homesteads. The date fixed for this lam? to be thrown open to settlers is February 14, 19t. This tract was originally withdrawn under the clause In the Klnkald act which provides for the withdrawal from entry of lands which are Irrigable. Hundreds of home steaders will doubtless take advantage of this opportunity to secure land. Rarkett on Revenue Law. SUTTON, Neb.. Nov. 5 (Special.)

He urged Its support from top to bottom. This county will give a good majority for the whole ticket. The malicious campaign the World Herald has carried on has had the effect of turning many to the support of the ticket who would have been Indifferent otherwise, and Governor Mlckfy will get a fine vote among the farmers here. Mefreary Talks at Hastings. HASTINGS. Neb., Nov. 5. (Special Tele gramsThe week's series of meetings held at republican headquarters were closed to night with a strong address by W. P. Mc Creary. Mr. McCreary developed the thought that It Is no new thing for the democrats to charge republican administra tions with violating the constitution.'

BEATRICE, Nov. 5. The annual meeting THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL, Few People Kuow How I'seful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and must efficient disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realize 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 impurities alwuys present In the stomach and Intes tines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and olnur odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectuully clears and improves the complexion, It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently sat'u cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or enolher, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or, rather, In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozei.ges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of th general health, better complexion, sweeter oreath and purer blood, and the beauty uf It is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, In speaking of the benefits uf charcoal, says: "1 advise Stuart' Charcoal Lozenges to all patient suffering trom gas In the stomach and bowels am) to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; 1 also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sens a patent prepara tion, yet I believe I get mora and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenge than in any uf the ordinary charcoal tablets." of the Woman' Missionary society of the Baptist church was hid yesterday st the home of Mrs. W.

OMAHA, Nov. 5 To the Editor of The Bee: I have noticed with much regret the leading editorial In the Dally News and the very unfair allusion to Mr. Weller's candi dacy for the water commission. ' I regret these utterances that "Mr. Weller stands as the candidate of an element which champions the cause of the moBt rapacious corruption breeding monopoly In Omaha and which Is charging each of the 130,000 people in the city twice as much as it should for a necessity of life." The same editorial admit that Charles F. Weller, who Is Mr. Howell's opponent, Is a business man of excellent reputation. The editor who penned that article knows that Mr. Weller is a man of high Ideals. He is one of the best citizens of Omaha. He Is a taxpayer and has established his home in this community. He has given some of the best years of his life In help ing to build up the commercial interests of Omaha. He accepted this nomination as a recogni tion of his work for the betterment of this city and Its commercial environments. He represents tho best there is In this city and any man who says that he is the candidate of corruptlnnists does Mr. Weller an In justice, and the writer does himself an In justice In making such a statement, as It Is entirely without foundation. In his capacity as a member of the ex ecutive committee of the Commercial club, Its president and as president of the na tional organization of wholesale druggists, and as a citizen, he has always been re garded as a man of pure character, of un questioned ability and of sterling worth. He has never played the part of an ad venturer, but he stands for the best and most wholeaome things, not only In gov ernment affairs, but In society. In the church and as a citizen. I do not approve of attempting to be smirch a man because he may be so un fortunate as to unwittingly be In a political fight. Mr. Weller was nominated by his party and he Is entitled to the respect not only of the community but of all voters without regard to party. Mr. Weller la a loyal citizen and Is too great a man In his community to ever for a moment sacrifice the Interests of the peo ple to political chicanery, and It goes with out saying that Mr. Weller la a safe man to be entrusted with any enterprise, no matter what It Is, and no political faction and no Interests of the waterworks could ever swerve him from that course which In his Judgment and wisdom he would deem best for the people, and which will without doubt be entrusted to him by the voters on Tuesday next. A TAXPAYlNG REPUBLICAN. OMAHA, Nov., 5. Editor Omaha Bee: In your evening Ibsuo of the 5th, amongst "Howell's Backers," there is prominently mentioned the Willow Springs brewery, and as I have found that many Omaha' people are under the impression that 'there Is some, relation or connection In owner ship between the Willow Springs brewery and the Willow Springs distillery, I wish to state most emphatically that such Is not the case. The owners of thut dis tillery are In no way interested In the brewery, nor have the owners, stock holders, directors or employes of the Wil low Springs brewery or of Walter Milse & Co. any Interest whatever In or connec tion with the Willow Springs distillery, which la owned, controlled and operated exclusively by Her & Co., distillers, a branch of the Standard Distilling and Dis tributing company. The former owners of the brewery, upon acquiring the same from the Nebraska Brewing company un der the readership of one Virgil O. Btrlr-k-lor Inslduously adopted the name "Willow Springs" brewery with the obvious Inten tion of trading upon the good name and honorable reputation established by Mr. P. E. Her for the Willow Springs distillery. I am reliably Informed that some of the agent of the brewery even now claim a connection between the brewery and the distillery with the same sinister motives, a deception which I know is not sanc tioned by their employes, Messrs. Walter Molse & Co., who now control the brew ery. Her & Co. or the Willow Springs distillery are not In politics. Personally I have re quested all my friend, as a special favor, to vote for Mr. Charles F. 'Weller. A. L, MEYER. Manager Iter Co.

GETTING READY FOR ELECTION New Sheep-Feeding; Farm Show Growth of Feeder Market Plan for I'nlon Service and Charity Ball. Last week Trainmaster lloach nnd a party of officials of the Northwestern road visited South Omaha and designated a track In the northwestern part of the city near Thirty-sixth and II streets for the repairing and cleaning of stock cars. By the location of this track the work of cleaning and repairing stock cars formerly done at Missouri Valley will now be done here. The change In location from Missouri Valley to South Omaha will keep the cars In service longer and will save a delay ol from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. An other point to be gained by having the cars cleaned here Is that the work will be done under the direction of the government sani tary Inspector, who will see that the quar antine regulations of the government are carried out. After having been used each car must be thoroughly washed and disin fected. An addition will be made to the car repair force nt this point! and a number of extra cleaners will be given employment. This new repair track la nearly completed and It Is expected the repairing and cleaning of Northwestern cars here will start sometime this week. Preparing; Ballot Boxes. City Clerk Glllin nnd Deputy Clerk Rog gln were busy yesterday preparing the bal lot boxes for rne election Tuesday. Ev erything needed is being packed In the boxes and the official ballots will be counted nnd sealed In a package. An empty carton la sent along for the ballots to be place In after the count Is made. This carl Is to b sealed by the Judges and clerks i election. In sending official ballots to tho different precincts the clerk Issues seventy five ballots for every fifty voters. All un used ballots must be counted and returned to the clerk In the sealed ballot boxes. Another Sheep Feeding; Farm. J. W. Thorn of Casper, Wyo., has bought from W.
