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.

FREES RIDE FOR SAVING A THAI
Trainmen Also Contribute Small Sam
In Cash to Tramp Hero.
HASTINGS. 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.

MORE LAND FOR HOMESTEADERS
Tract la North Platte District Which

Attempt to Bar Alleaa.
HUMBOLDT. Neb., Nov. 6 (Special )
An Interesting controversy has arisen
among the heirs of the late Morgan Me

w nose valuable estate Is being divided
Last week an order, of distribution was
mad by the county court, and now Mrs
Catherine Walsh and Miss Mary Murphy of

othfr nine heirs from participating In th
distribution of either personal or real es
tate on the ground that all are residents
of Ireland, therefore nonresident aliens and

the state of Nebraska from taking lands

Younv Speaks at Pllger.
P1LGER, Neb.. Nov. 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Before one of the largest crowds
ever assembled at a political meeting In
Pilger, Hon. W. W. Toung of Stanton de
livered a most convincing address this
evening. The oprra house was crowded to
Its utmost capacity during the time of the
speech. By his masterly logic and able
presentation of the facts, Mr. Young made
many votes for the ticket. 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.' This
was charged against Lincoln, Grant, Oar
field and McKinley. The Inability of demo
crats as executors Is exemplified In the
only Important legislative act enacted by
them since I860, the Wilson-Gorman bill,
which became law without the president's
signature. The speaker urged strongly the
support of the entire ticket.

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."

FROM OUR LETTER BOX
Charles F. Weller.
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.

OMAHA, Nov., 5. Editor Omaha Bee:
In your evening Ibsuo of the 5th, amongst
"Howell's Backers," there is prominently

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.

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. Farnam Smith & Co. a large farm
on West It street and Intends establishing
a 'sheep feeding farm. Mr. Thorn Is en
gaged extensively In the raising of sheep
in Wyoming, and, while he will make his
homo here as soon as his dwelling is con
structed on his new farm, ho will devote
a part of his time to his sheep ranches In
Wyoming. The buying of feeder Bheep at
this market Is growing so rapidly that
sheep men see the vulue of having feed lots
near this market. It Is planned by Mr.
Thorn to have his sheep farm complete in
every respect. There will be sidetracks, an
elevator for the storing of grain and a mill
for grinding. Artesian wells will supply
water for a large reservoir, from which
pipe lines will be run from the feed lots,

Gentlemen: I wrote you some time

this disease, such as mucus dropping in
T the throat, a constant
,--'' and spit, feeling of
couch and spittintr
morning, scab forming In the nose, which required much ef
fort to Wow out; sometimes causing the nose to bleed and
leaving me with a sick headache. I had thus suffered for five
years. As soon as I heard from you, I commenced to take
S. S. S. you advised, and after I had taken three large
bottles, I noticed a change for the better. Thug encouraged, I
continued to take it, and in a short while was entirely cured.

If winter is to be dreaded for its snows, icy, cutting winds and damp, unpleasant weather, it is more to be
dreaded because it brings with it the most annoying and disgusting of diseases Catarrh. The changed condition '
of the weather brings on "bad colds" which irritate the inner skin and tissues, and they secrete an unhealthy
matter that is absorbed by the blood and scattered all through the system in its circulation, and at the first sign of .
winter the patient begins to "hawk and spit." All the mucous membranes and tissues of the body are affected by
this disease, and the filthy, poisonous matter finds its way to every part of the body, making the sufferer dull and
half sicle all the time. The head and eyes have blinding aches, the stomach bloats, the hearing is often affected, and .
strong, and as it circulates through
the unhealthy secretions cease, and
become chronic Catarrh, but at the
book on The Blood will be mailed

I contracted Catarrh and suffered ter
ribly with it for 25 years. It was so bad
that I had lost my hearing, sense of taste,
as well as being nearly blind. I tried vari
ous medicines and specialists, spending a
large sum of money with them, but with
no perceptible results, so I abandoned all
other remedies and doctors and beran
desire to hawk
dryness in the throat,
upon risine in the
in its worse forms the soft bones of the nose and bead are destroyed. Local ap
plications such as sprays, washes and inhalations car dp no more than give tem
porary relief, because the blood is constantly circulating through the system
loaded with these filthy catarrhal poisons, and it must be purified and cleansed
before a cure can be effected. 8. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy, cures Catarrh
by its invigorating, purifying action on the blood, and the catarrhal poisons are
carried off through the proper channels. S. S. S. makes the blood rich and
the system it carries healthful properties to the organs and tender tiflsues,
the whole system is renewed and Luilt up by it. Don't ltt a "bad cold"
first symptom begin the use of S. S. S. and fortify the system against it Onr
free, and our physicians will give special advice to ail catarrh sufferers who
