(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 7. (Special.) John A.
Ehrhardt. Judge, advocate general of the
National Guard, has exonerated L. W.
Coiby, former adjutant general, of the.
chare of having In his possession $12,
money appropriated to pay the members of
the company at Wilber. Special Examiner
H. 8. Wiggins made the charge against
Colby In a report to Oovernor Mickey,
after an examination of the books In the
office of the adjutant general.
Judge Ehrhardt was Instructed to In
vestigate the charge against General Colby
and made his report to General Culver to
day. The report contains the testimony of
a number of witnesses examined, which led
Judge Ehrhardt to the belief that the
money In question had been paid to Cap
tain McGlntie. Judge Ehrhardt quotes from
the report of Mr. Wiggins aa follows:
Every officer and man of Company E
with whom I talked firmly believes that
McUintle did not receive uny of tlie pro
ceeds of the check except his own pay, and
that General Coiby now has the HJti due
tha men. lens what he may have paid Hands
for handling the matter for him. This In
my opinion. General Colby is too good a
man of business to turn over the pay of
this cumpui.y to a man whom he had found
derelict In his duty as an officer and who
had not been connected with the company
for nearly two years, during which time
his correspondence regarding this pay had
been entirely with Captain Grimm, the cap
tain of tho tumpany.
Commenting or. this. Judge Ehrhardt
ays:
I have carefully considered all the affi
davits and statements In connection with
this transaction and am at a loss to find
any fact that would show that any of this
money was ever returnrd to General Colby.
It might be said that Captain McGlntie was
too good a buslneHS man to sign a receipt
for 1126 that he never received, especially
when the matur had been In dispute for
almost two years. True, his connection
with the company had been terminated,
but his responsibility to the state yet re
mained for all property drawn aa cap
tain of Company E. and the men were re
sponsible to him for such property aa Is
sued by him.
This money is either In the hands of Mr.
Rands or in the nosnesslon of Captain M-
Glntle. From all the facts, I am of the
opinion that the money was paid to Cap
tain McGlntie., True, there is a direct con
flict In the statements of Captain Grimm,
Captain McGlntie and Mr. Greer on the
one hand and Mr. Sands, Mr. Bartoa and
the record evidence on the other. General
Colby's Instructions, Mr. Sands' letter
book, Mr. Bartos' 'Statement and the re
ceipt of Captain McGlntie cannot be Ig
nored In reaching a conclusion In this mat
ter, and they point unerringly to the fact
that this money was paid to Captain Mc
Glntie. What men believe may be admitted in a
French court, but our courts are so con
stituted that they require facts upon which
to base a conclusion.
Hegular Hoars for Committees.
It Is not Improbable the first reform to
be Instituted by the 'house of representa
tives will be the publication of the time
and place of meeting of all committees.
This has not heretofore been done, though
the senate adopted such a rule two years
ago. The meetings of the house committees
have been announced In the house. If at
all, and those who were not present knew
nothing of the time and place of meetings
and consequently many people directly In
terested In pending legislation, failed to
get before a committee. With the place
and time of the meetings scheduled and
published It will be possible for those In
terested to keep track of the committees.
It was authoritatively stated today that
this would be one of the rules proposed by
the committee on rules.
Speaker Rouse spent another busy morn
ing, but this afternoon took a layoff to
rest up, and Clyde Barnard went home to
spend Sunday. It is understood that Doug
las of Rock, who came very near being
speaker will get a very important com
mittee chairmanship, though the list has
not yet been made up.
Go the Law One Better.
The presidential and vice presidential
electors met in the office of Governor
Mickey this morning to fill the require
ments of the law and Incidentally went a
little further. They organlxed by electing
II. II. Wilson chairman and F. A. Barton
secretary. This organization the law pro

What Sulphur Does
For tho Human Body la Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early daya when our
mothera and grandmothers gave us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
' It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," tonio and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The Idea waa good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalutuble, and a large quan
tity, had to be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects
of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated
form, ao that a single grain Is far mure
effective than a tabluspoonful of the crude
vulphur.
In recent yeais. research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur fur me
dicinal use la that obtained from Calcium
(Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores
under the name of buart's Calcium Waf
ers. 'They are small chocolate coated pel
lets and contain the active medicinal prin
ciple of sulphur In a highly concentrated,
effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of this
form of sulphur In restoring and ma.nuiu
ing bodly vigor and health: sulphur acta
directly on the liver, and excretory organs
and purines and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the crudity and 1m
purity of ordinary Mowers of aulphur were
often worse than the urease, and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparation of sulphur of which Stuart's
Calcium. Wafers la undoubtedly the beat
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike,
Dr. R. M. Wilklns whilu xpeilnuiitlng
with sulphur remedies soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. ' He says: "For liver, kidney
and blgod troubles, especially when re
sulting from constipation or mala'rij, j
have been surprised at the results cbtal'nei
from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patient!
suffering from bolls and pimples and even
deep-seated carbuncles, 1 havj repeatedly
Men them dry up and disappear in four or
five daya. leaving tha akin clear and
smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Waf
ers ta a proprietary article, and swlj by
druggists, and for that reason tubo.ed by
many physicians, yet I knew of nothing
safe and reliable for avMistipdiion, liver anj
kidney troubles and eepecatily in all forms
of skin diseases this remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of pip,,
cathartic and so-called blood "purifiers."
Will find Stuart's Calcium Wafers, a far
lifer, more palstible and effective preparation.
ond meeting, which will be held Monday.
While the law requires that thy shall
meet twice. It has been Interpreted to mean
that the first meeting Is merely for the
purpose of filling any vacancy that might
occur. It Is called for two days before

Sentence (ommatrd.
William Washington, reported to be the
first of the name to go wrong, this morn
ing had executive clemency meted out to
him and consequently will not have to
serve a year in the penitentiary for forgery.
Instead he will spend the time In the Doug
las county Jail. Governor Mickey com
muted the sentence of the man upon the
recommendation of Judge Day of Omaha.
Requisition He fused.
Oovernor Mickey has refused to Issue a
requisition for the return to Nebraska ot
Harvey Springer, who is supposed to be
In South Dakota. Springer Is charged with
stealing 115 and is believed by the Dakota
county authorities to be somewhere In
South Dakota. In view of the fact that he
has not yet been definitely located, and
further that he Is charged with a misde
meanor, the governor refused the requisi
tion. Old Force Hanax On.
The State Board of Irrigation has reap
pointed the office force rnat has conducted

The appointees are: Adna Dobson, state
engineer, secretary: James A. Green, as

retary, division No. 1; Bage T. Francis, un
der secretary, division No. 2: Fannie Steln

to the Printing board, an effort will be
made to have a law enacted providing that
the State Board of Public Lands and Build
ings can purchase supplies In the nature ot
pencils, paper, Ink, rubber bands, etc., In
bulk. At present these supplies are bought
at retail prices when they might Just as
well be bought at wholesale prices and the
state saved many hundreds If not thou
sands of dollars. It la Mr. Galuaha'a idea
to make the secretary of the Printing board
custodian of supplies and atl state officers
and all Institutions be given supplies upon
proper requisition.
Richards Reappointed.
Myron T. Richards, who for the last two
years has carried the mail to and from
the state house to the postoffice, will do

Buildings reappointed him.

does not give satisfaction.
CLARKS ARE AGAIN I C'Ol'RT
Norfolk Church Worker Loses t'a.e
Brought by Father of Children.
NORFOLK, Neb., Jan. 7. (Special.) The
Clarks are in court again. Having occu
pied more attention of the police and the
bench in Norfolk during the last year thnn
any other ten families put together, the
Clarks have begun the new year in the
same old way. The case brought about
was unique to a degree.

W. Clark the two funillles being In no
way related stood up as her own attorney,
cross-examined the witnesses, was herself

stand by herself, questioned and answered
the things that she wanted brought out.
Having gone through her testimony, Mrs.
A. F. Clark lost the case. A Judgment
was given against her. Then she turned
on the court, the witnesses and County At

were not being taken proper care of, and
appropriated them In order to bring them

alleged to be due him In payment for th
services of his children.

roi.F.S A5D JEWS COS SCRIPTED
Late Arrival from Poland Tells at
Rassla's Methods.
FREMONT, Neb., Jan. v. (Special.)
The Russian Jewish population of this city
was Increased recently by the arrival of a
young man from the province of Grodno,
Russian Poland, and who came here to
avoid service in the Russian army, and
tells an Interesting story of the situation
at his former home. As he has a number
of relatives living there, some of whom
are people of considerable means, he la
unwilling to give his name for publication.
The province Is situated on the German
frontier and the population consists of
Poks and Jews, all the officials, of course,
bring Russians. Every day men are leav
ing to avoid military service.. The bound
ary lino and roads leading to It are pa
trolled by troops and to run the guards
successfully Is no small Job. Previous to
the war the guards could bo easily bribed
and many can yet. but the price Is so
high few pay it, preferring to take their
chances. The densest ignorance of what
Is going on at the front prevails even
among the higher classes, the newspapers
reports being so censored as to be almost
valueless. About all the Information the
mass of the people have of the war Is that
all the men are being conscripted. In
many cases he says all the men In a fam
ily have been taken. The government
does nothing for the support of the wives
and children of Its soldiers and thousands
are dependent on the charity of their
neighbors, who can barely eke out an ex
istence for themselves. Those living within
ten to twenty miles of the frontier find It
comparatively easy to get out, while In
the Interior, owing to the law by which
any stranger In the town without a pass
port will be arrested, it Is almost impos
sible to avoid detection and arrest. The
punishment Is service in the army. Hun
dreds are leaving every day ond a surpris
ingly large number succeed In passing the
frontier. The guards are from other and
Interior provinces. The conscripted sol
diers, he says, are not drilled and In
structed In their native provinces. They
are placed In Jails until enough have been
got together to make up a carload or train
load, then sent east to the large mobiliza
tion camps. The Jews and Poles take no
Interest In the war. They would be glad
to see Russia overwhelmingly defeated and
many, he thinks, when conscripted, desert
at the first opportunity and If the real sit
uation In Manchuria was today actually
known to the mass of the Inhabitants of
Russian Poland, Russia would have seri
ous trouble at home and right in Its own
army. After a man goes into the army his
Relatives ne-ver hear from him again
and have no means of knowing where he
is going or to what regiment he is as
signed. Most of the Jews are in the in
fantry. Farmers' Inatltnte Drawa Crowd.

session of the institute was the largest

sity of implanting in the child ideas of

HE HAD FAITH
l And It Waa Justified.
"In reply to your letter of recent date,
will say that I am cured as sound as a
dollar. I used about three of the fifty
cent packages. I was going to write you,
but was holding up to see If the piles would
give me any further trouble. I feel no
signs of the piles and believe I am cured
entirely. I had faith In Pyramid Pile Cure
at the start, and struck right to the treat
ment. You can refer anyone to me you
like. I can soon tell what Pyramid Pile
Cure has done for me. VAWhlng you much
success, I remain, J. C. Klnkald, Mgr. for
Fletschman ft Co., Agency at Knoxvllle,
Tenn."
It Is a well recognized fact that the best
advertising aa article can have is that
which Is known as "word of mouth;" this
rightfully carries more weight than all the
claims which can be set forth. It follows
that Mr. Klnkald, with his wide acquaint
ance, will largely promote the sale and use
of Pyramid Pile Cure because and here
Is the vital point he knows whereof he
kpeaks, and not only advooutea Its use but
does so with enthusiasm; this Is not to be
wondered at, and In point of fact ran any
