SPIRITS LEAD HIM ASTRAY
Dr. Bowei Decided Incompetent After
Hearing Before Judge Vinsonhalef.

UNLICENSED HEALER HAS HALLUCINATIONS
Children Taken from HI Castody
DrrM of Hl( Inability to
Properly Provide for or
Menace Them.
Dr. Joel C. Howes of JTflO Grant street
created excitement on the second floor of
the county court house at 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon by fainting outside the court
room of Judge Vlnsonhaler. He had Just
been adjudged as not fitted to have the
care and custody .of his two children.
Homer, aged 18, and John, aged 6. Mrs
Jeanette Burkhalter of Grand Island, Neb.,
a relative, was named as guardian.
After the decision of the court here had
been an affecting scene, the rather, an
old man, having hold the little boy, John
nie, In a tight embrace for a long time,
while tears rained down his face. It was
Immediately after being separated from the
little fellow by the oldest son that he
(tumbled out Into the hallway, talking In
coherently and fell In a fainting condition
onto a bench.
The testimony of Homer Howes and of
others went to show that for a year or
two past, or since his wife died, Dr. Howes
has not been a breadwinner of sufficient
ability to support the children, that In
fact the son Homer has been earning the
living for the house, and that they have
got along by the financial help of a brother
of Mrs. Howes. What Homer complained
of was not that he was compelled to earn
the living for the three, but that the father
Is a spiritualist who has become so croch
ety that they could not longer put up with
his abuse and the outcroppings of his
peculiarities. '
On the stand Dr. Howes said he had
taken a six months' course In an Ohio
electrical therapeutical college many years
ago and had practiced that brand of heal
ing. He had never secured a certificate
to practice medicine In Nebraska. In a
long explanation of his belief he confessed
that for forty years he had 'been a spirit
ualist. He did not believe In actual com
munion with spirits, he said; believe was
not strong enough he knew. This state
ment he emphasized most forcibly.
One of his . witnesses, -a Mrs. Bid well,
who had , kept house for him after his
wife had died, gave him a good reputa
tion. Bhe had taken the ordinary oath,
but at one point she burst out with a
statement that she did not take any stock
in Christianity that she was not a Chris
tian. She denied, however, that she was
of the same belief as Dr. Howes.
Mr. Huff, a Mormon elder, was also a
witness for the doctor, but he really knew
nothing about the case, and said he
thought he had been confused with some
one else, although he had been at the
Howes home at the time of the funeral of
Mrs. Howes.
Several women who have known the fam
ily for a long time gave the oldest boy a
good reputation and had nothing good to
say for the father. It was pretty clearly
shown that he Is not capable of practicing
his profession with profit. It is a question
now what he will do. His only asset is a
homestead which is being proved up at
the expense of his brother-in-law.
Railroad Gets Restraining Order.
Judge Sutton has Issued an order re
straining the county, until further order of
the' court, from opening a certain road
across the right-of-way of the Rock Island
railroad. The road is specified a 167D,
and the restraining order runs, not only
against the Board of County Commission
ers, but also the road supervisors of the
precincts wherein the proposed road Is lo
cuted. The road puts up n supersedeas
bond In the sum of $500 pending final set
tlement of the dispute.
' OS to Grand Island.
An enthusiastic bunch of Count John A.
Crelghton's wearers of the white and blue
went to Grand Island this morning to be
present nt the state oratorical content
which takes place tonight. John Cav
anaugh represents Creighton university this
year, and the boys are confident that he
will win a creditable place. Creighton has
succeeded In landing first prise for the
past three years, and has thus represented
Nebraska In the Interstate contests on those
occasions.

Holly Springs, Miss., March 24, 1903.
While building railroads in Tennessee
some twelve years ago a number of hands
contracted fever and various forms of blood
and skin diseases. I carried S.S.S. in my
commissary and gave it to my hands with
most gratifying results. I can recommend
S. S. S. as the finest preparation for Mala
ria, chills and fever, as well as all blood
and skin diseases. W. I. McGowan.
I suffered greatly from Boils, which
would break out on different parts of my
body. I saw S. S. S. advertised and after
using about three bottles I was cured, and
for the last three years have had no trouble
whatever. A. W. Zkber.
217 Read St, Evansville, Ind.
I began using your S. S. S. probably ten
years ago for Malaria and blood troubles,
and it proved so good that I have con
tinued ever since using it as a family
remedy. It is a pleasure for me to recom
mend S. S. S. for the benefit of others
who are needing a first rate blood purifier,
tonic and cure for Malaria.
Arkansas City, Ark. C. C. Hemingway.
Boils, abscesses, sores, dark or yellow
splotches and debility are some of the
symptoms of this . miserable disease. S.
S. S. counteracts and removes from the
blood all impurities
a u d poisons and
builds up the entirt
system. It is guar
anteed a purely veg
etable remedy.

The Obstructionist Senate.
SUPERIOR, Neb., Feb. 15. To the Editor
of The Bee: The past few days in the
senate of the United States seem to be
ominous In the! tendencies. I would not do
the sllghteet wrong by word or thought to
that venerable body of men, yet there have
been times In the past when the country
has been sorely tried by their acts; and
they must not forget that while forbear
ance is one of the virtues of the American
people, that forbearance at times has been
sorely tried. Their attempt to discipline
President McKlnley during the Spanish
American war led to the severest criticisms
from the people. Today the senate has
placed Itself across the pathway of higher
civilization, and under the pretext of sena
torial courtesy, a term that has become the
laughing stock of the American people, at
tempts to thwart the president, as well as
the people, In carrying this nation onward
and upward In that spirit of advancement
which has been inspired by the most exalted
patriotism and carried forward by 'our pro
gressive Americanism. They have detracted
from the security of our nation by taking
away the prestige we had gained by the ad
vanced principles of arbitration.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay
have' been the Vanguard of these great
principles they have never lost an oppor
tunity to give them that executive force
and character that have been commensu
rate with the highest type of statesman
ship. In the tribunal of The Hague they
have shown themselves the master minds
of the world and tfre peacemakers among
all the civilised nations of the earth. These
two great minds aro beating in unison with
the hearts and the Intelligence of our coun
try. Through the acts f President Roose
velt we can truthfully say: The conscience
of the country Is represented in the gov
ernment of the country, both at home and
abroad. He is building the ways of peace
and not of war. He prefers the settlement
of International disputes by arbitration
and conference and not by gun and
sword. . No better proof of his desire for
permanent peaco could be had than the
firm stand he took in bringing about the
arbitration treaties with Germany, France,
England, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Switzer
land and Newfoundland. So eminently
proper and humane were those treaties
that they received universal commenda
tion. They were carefully prepared; the
chief object was to empower the president
to submit differences for arbitration In, his
own way; and the especially desirable fea
tures were to safeguard our country against
protracted wrangling ' with other nstlons,
which so often precipitates wars or brings
disgrace and dishonor.
The old adage, "A stitch in time saves
nine," seems to be well understood by the
president, and its observance will be ap
preciated by the people, the United States
senate to the contrary notwithstanding. By
compliance with the action of the senate
the whole plan to advance International se
curity and peace would be overthrown and
the dangers of complications and differences
with other nations would be broadened and
deepened Into chasms that might lead to
conflicts and wars. Let the senate arise
to the dignity of the situation let them
realize as do the whole business Interests
of the country, that the American people
are in the whirl of great national events.
That the wires are laid In a single night,
as it were, and they are surcharged with
electricity; there Is no place for halting or
even hesitating; we are on the limited, and
an or tne conditions must be promptly met
and handled or we will be distanced In the
race. President Roosevelt Is a man of ac
tion; he Is Intelligent, safe and fearless;
nothing stands between him and the public
gooa, ne neither falters or hesitates. Let
the people demand that the senate recede
from its effete notions. Come out from the
dogma of "governing the country by the
senate, and for the senate." Take on the
broad national character that has come to
us, and wear it with the same grare that
becomes the president and the people, and
men we can feel that while the senate un
doubtedly has the power to amend and re
ject, that It will use that power In a way
that will not be Inimical with the best In
terests of the public good.

No More Sidewalk Holdups.
OMAHA, Feb. 14. To the TVtltnr nf Tt,.
Bee: Is It not time to put a stop to this
holding up the city for damages to pe
destrians tor slipping on sidewalks? The
home owner Is compelled first to nut inn
a wooden walk for the convenience of pe
destrians, then they steal a plank and
ourn u, ana ran in the hole nn,i au h.
home owner to pay them. I have known
husband and wife, both with claims for
damages for falling down, and they got
damages, and had claims asraln the next
winter. Then their sons started the same
game, as it was so easy to make the city
or home owner nay. Of
Is anxious to take the case on half they
eenerany get mrir nair. After the wooden
walks are all stolen the city orders perma
nent walks, and they slip down on i.nem
ana commence suit for 6,000 damages.
Now,- what ground have thev? Wh;it h.,.
the city to do with the elements? Is city
or nome owner, or he who la trying to pay
tor nis little home, to be held responsible
for the ice. snow and rain, and th eirot
of whisky and beer? Comes a big snow
storm. If we let snow remain on the walks
there would be no damaaes as It
soft to fall In, but we are ordered to shovel
It off of our cement walks to accommodate
the pedestrians. Of course the walks are
more slippery when clean, and It costs
money to clean them, and we are asked to
pay $5,000 every week to someone who hn
taken a little drop to much. Is there any
justice In this? Is the home owner always
10 oe nem up in tnis way?
Our former city attorney advised tn rtti.
all those claims by giving them 1200 or $.100.
The lawyer gets half. That is lust whnf
they started out for. Why, I think I will
nave to take a tumble myself to keep even
and pay the tax. Would It not be better
tor tne city to ngnt to tho bitter end and
ridicule any attempts to hold un tho tax
payers with such unreasonable claims?
a. w. t.
P. S. All the Deonle In Omul m at wnrlt
night and day could not keep Ice oft side
walks for the last six weeks, and when
there Is no frost there Is no Ice to fall on.
1 understand there is a city , ordinance to
hold the adjoining property. Fteiwal that
ordinance at once, for that would be the
list straw on the camels hack. I wmii.i
subscribe to any unfortunate who got hurt
on tho sidewalks we paid so much for that
they might walk on safely and pleasantly.

LOCAL FUEL SUPPLY AMPLE
Omaha Coal Men Sty There it Little
Danger of Famine.
ANTHRACITE THE ONLY KIND THAT IS LOW
Advance Orders .Nearly Eshanat Local
Stocks of Hard ConI, but
Plenty s on the Wny
from East.
Coal dealers say that the warmer weather
has greatly relieved the fuel situation In
Omaha and that If the trunk lines to the
east can be kept open a few days plenty of
hard coal will arrive and no ;ihase of the
problem left open for anxiety and appre-
henslon of suffering. Of soft coal for
stoves, furnaces and steam purposes there
is said to be a comfortable supply on i
hand, with more constantly arriving from
the west and southwest. Anthracite has
been nearly used up and little. If any, Is to
be had. This condition Is due to the stoi in
bound condition of traffic east of the river,
as there Is said to be ample supply of tho
precious mineral enroute to this city.
"The hard coal situation has not been
nearly as bad as It looks on the surface,"
said a coal man. "The winter has been so i
severe that most of the hard coal stocks
which usually do for the enttre season have
been nearly consumed. The condition of
the bins, the continued cold and reports
of the demoralization of freight traffic have
caused householders to become alarmed.
Consequently many having a ton or two of
anthracite have sent In orders for more,
fearing to wait longer. These orders and
those actually needed have Just about ex
hausted the supply on hand, but Just as
soon as the roads east get to working
plenty will come in.
"In my opinion, not the slightest fear
need be experienced regarding soft fuel coil
and steam coal. A few more days like
Wednesday and Thursday and everyone j
will rorget having worried about a possible
coal famine. The effect upon the trade Is
marked today and It Is correct to say that
the situation has been much relieved."

SPECIAL HOMES EEKERS' RATES On February 21 and March 7
and 21, the Burlington makes a $15.00 round trip rate to the Big II Om Basin,
tne North Platte Valley, Eastern Colorado and the Black Kills. x
KEEP AHEAD OF THE MOVEMENT Besides irrigated land under private
enterprise for sale today, the Government has commenced the expenditure of two and
one half million dollars, and will put water on one hundred thousand acres of land in
each locality, viz: The Big Horn Basin and the North Platte Valley, at an average
cost of $25.00 an acre. One can secure land either by purchase from the Irrigation
companies or he can secure homestead lands in advance of the water. The history of
Irrigated lands shows that their price has greatly increased during the last few years.
The well known writer, Wm. E. Curtis, in his letter to the Chicago Record
Herald, January 30, describing the Governmental Irrigating Plans through the West,
calls attention to one particular area, which will cost owners $250.00 an acre, and the
cost will be low considering the value of tie products of that region. There are
thousands of acres of irrigated lands in the West that cannot be bought for $100.00
an acre.
TO WEST AND NORTHWEST NEBRASKA011 the same dates excursion
rates of one fare plus $2.00. This is a pronging stretch of country, available for sue
cessful live stock, dairy and mixed fanning industry. These lands have greatly en
hanced in value in the last few years.
