CATTLEMAN TALKS ABOUT THE ORDER laalats Removal of Fences Will Be a Great Drawback to the Cattle Interests of the state. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 9.-(Special Tele gram.) Judge Baxter left tonight for New York on his way west. Today he had an Interview with Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner Richards of the general land office relative to suits which will be begun against persons accused of Illegal fencing of the public domain. Both officials of the Interior department stated the United States district attorney for Nebraska would receive all the help needed to carry out the wishes of the president and Department of Justice In the removal of the Illegal fences. Before leaving Judge Baxter stated that while he recognized there would be many difficulties thrown in the way of the law officers of the government In carrying out the letter of the law regarding the fences he believed he would be the victor in his suit He stated it might be hard in some rases to differentiate between what are and what are not proper lines on which fences should ran, and that it might take surveys to determine the lines, but he proposed to see to it that the Illegal fences should come down. Cattlema Object. W. G. Comstock of Ellsworth, Neb., who Is one of the committee of leading cattle men west of the Missouri river to take up with Secretary Wilson the regulations gov erning the dipping of cattle intended for feeders. Is in Washington. With him are Murdo McKenzle of Texas, Conrad Kohrs of Montana and E. McCrlllls of Denver, secretary of the State Board of Stock In spection Commissioners. This delegation expects to have a conference with Secre tary Wilson tomorrow morning. Speaking of the determination to rejnove Illegal fences In Nebraska on the part of the government Mr. Comstock, said he rec ognized the authorities meant business. "But," he said, "I believe the Temoval of the fences will put Nebraska back ten years as a cattle producing state. I believe every grower or feeder of cattle In the western half of Nebraska will object to the removal of fences alleged to be on the public do main. "There Is little or no demand for home steads In the section I speak of and wher ever a homesteader has indicated a desire to erect his home I feel satisfied he has nothing placed In his way by the cattle men. Of course I recognize the president Is perfectly right in having the laws on the statute books executed, but I cannot but believe that It will work great detri ment to the cattle Interests of Nebraska," B. J. Cornish of Omaha Is in Washington. T1TTERINGT0N FOUND GUILTY Alleged Cattle "Rustler" Convicted of Larceny as Bailee at North Platte. NORTH PLATTE, Netv, March . (Spe cial.)

So Agree Lung Specialists At tending the Medical Associa tion's Convention at Atlantic City. Dramatic Agent P u t m o n Thankfully Tells of His Provi dential Recovery by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. MR. C.'PUTMON Cured of Consumption by Duffy's Ture Malt Whiskey. "I was "flat on my back In Cincinnati. It was after ten long, hard months on the road as advance agent for theater compa nies. I had to be up early and late, exposed to all kinds of weather; often snaking wet nnd chlllfd to the bone. My system could stand It no longer. I caught a heavy cold and It settled on my lungs. Doctors dosed me as usual, but I was steadily going to a consumptive's grave. An old actor friend recommended Dud y's Pure Malt Whiskey. I tried It. Felt better the first week. In two weeks doctor said he needn't call again, to keep on taking 'Duffy's' and I'd soon be cured. And I am cured; strong, husky, never better in my life, and it took only four bottles.

Duffy' Pure Malt Whiskey Consumption seldom attacks until the system lt run clown and weakened by sli kness, overwork, worr, exposure or Inherited tendencies. The secret of the marvelous success of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey In curing and preventing lung troubles lies In thf fact that It's the greatest strengthener and health builder known to medicine. It not only checks the ravages of the disease Itseif, but replaces the weakened, destroyed tissues; helps the stomach to more perfectly digest and assimilate food In order that more, richer and purer blood will come from it; ail regulates and governs the heart's action, so that the circulation will be strong ana f)owerful, carrying health and vigor to every organ and part of the human body. The idea that a co-sumptlve's only chance for Ife is to send him to Colorado or California to fret himself to death was effectually exploded at the Medical Association's Conven tion, a few months ago at Atlantic City, wnere leading consumption speclHllsts declared that the only successful place to treat lung troubles was. right at home, where the disease originated, and that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the most effective means of fighting this awful scourge to the human race.
