"In your answer in the district court of
Sioux county. Nebraska, you mado this
atatement: 'Tha value of said lana nai
been appraised pursuant to section 71, chap
ter Ualil, compiled statutes of 1689. at tha
sum of $8,000 On what fact or clrcum
atancca do you baae your claim?"
And Fisher's answer was:
"On the fact that I had an arrangement
that It was to be appraised for at least
'that. That la the fact."
"Do you mean to tell this committee that
you bad an arrangement whereby this land
waa to be appraised at a certain figure?"
"If the land was not to be appraised for
what It waa worth I intended to remove
the ease to the federal court," etc.
Here waa one question that the committee
propounded that stands out as a feature:
"Why did these heirs agree to allow you
to retain all of that appraised value of the
land In excess of $1,000 in other words, did
not their action In signing the power of at
torney, providing the land had been ap
praised at $11,600. give you a fee of $10,500
for collecting $1,000 for them?"
"It gives myself and the gentlemen with
whom, 1 have to divide that amount of
money."
The committeemen aakod several ques
. tlons regarding the extra figure '1" which
made the total $11,600 instead of $1,500, but
Fisher persisted in saying the entire figure
was written at the same time.
The committee obtained affidavits of two
of the men who were appraisers or this
land, W. J. Raum and John Serres, and
under oath they state that the original ap
praisement was $1,500.
ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS Or HOl'BB
Most of the Time Pmt la on . Appro,
prlatloa Bills
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN,. March 10.-Speclal.) The
house adopted a motion, this morning that
when it adjourn today It be' until 2:30 p. m.
Monday. . Half a dosen members then asked
to be excused for the afternoon session and
the speaker required as many motions and
a standing vote. Wilson of Pawnee, who
made the adjournment motion, said as the
general appropriation bill was coming up
today it waa bad for the members to be
excused.
Committee reports were read showing
these bills indefinitely postponed:

viding for a weather signal service through
the state superintendent to warn teachers
and pupils of approaching storms,
'" On motion of Lee of Couglas 8. F. 44, by
Gibson, the South Omaha sewer bill, was
ordered for third reading.
With Jackson of Antelope in the chair the
house went into committee of the whole
and took up H. R. 147 and II. R. 302, the
deficiency and general appropriations bills,
on special order,
Clarke of Douglas made a fight for an
amendment providing for a salaried deputy
gams warden at Omaha, but failed; The
fusion members actively fought the propo
sition. "No show for Omaha," exclaimed Lee, In
good humor, as Clarke's proposed amend
ment went the way of nearly ail proposi
tions emanating from the Douglas dele
gation. McMullen of Oage submitted an amend
ment adding $4,000 for allowances to the
National Guard. He and Foster, of Douglas
spoke for the amendment and Hunker of.
Cuming opposed even the appropriation of
91O.RO0 made by the bill, because It was an
Increase over two years ago. Wilson, chair
man of the finance, ways and means com
mittee, explained the committee's action,
saying it seemed Justified by circumstances
as presented by Adjutant General Culver.
McClay of Lancaster, Luce of Harlan,
Marks of Fillmore and Coats of Holt spoke
against the amendment. It then went to a
vote and was carried, So to .84.
Next came a fight on the Item of $50,000
for a fireproof museum for the university.
McLeod of Stanton fought this item and
led Chairman Wilson to remark:
"I cannot imagine what kind of a con
stituency the gentleman from Stanton rep
resents, if he Is representing his con
stituency. He has fought every appropria
tion for the university, and yet he stood
up here a few minutes ago and voted to
add $4,000 t the appropriation to maintain
a lot of tin soldiers."
Perry of Furnas made a strong and ef
fective plea for the item. He flatly contra
dicted McLeod's statement of the university
costing the state so much money,
"It has never cost the state one cent," he
asserted, "and is the best Investment the
state has."
McLeod's amendment to strike out the
$50,000 item was lost by a vote of 21 to 42.
The appropriation for Junior normals was
raised from $12,000 to 115,000.
The statutes appropriation goes to. Cob
bey Instead of Wheeler. The house cut out
Wheeler and put in Cobbey.
The general appropriations, a total of
$1,800,000, approximately, waa not vitally
altered.
The deficiency bill had an original total
of $40,166 and the committee brought this
up to $55,560, which the house did not
change.
Both bills were then recommended for
passage, the house having concluded Con-
( slderation of them at 4 p. m.

would have been probably one of the moat
beautiful as well as one of the most In
teresting fights of the session. The bill
was' committed to the Judiciary committee,
when according to the general rules of
such proceedings It should have gone to
the committee on claims. Senator Cady
Is the chairman of this latter committee
and he was bUterly opposed to the allow
ance of the claim, having caused Its defeat
in 1W. He served notice on the Judiciary
committee that should the , committee
recommend the bill for general file he
would make the fight of his life to have
It sent to his committee. The Judiciary
committee, however, saw the Injustice of
the claim as well as did Senator Cady and
It came back with a recommendation that
suited all concerned except the man most
interested.
The claim was for $10,000, which Kennard
said was due him because of a contract
he had1 entered into with the state by order
of aJoint resolution of the legislature of
many years ago to collect money due the
state from the national government for
the sale of public lands. The contract
provided that the money due the state by
reason of the sale of Indian lands was not
to be considered. The supreme court held

LONDON, March lu. Count Tolstoi, In a
letter to the Times of London, which will
be published tomorrow morning, says that
bs regards not only the Russian govern
ment but alt governments as "intricate in
stitutions sanctified by tradition and cus
tom for the purpose of committing by vio
lence and Impunity the most dreadful so
clal crimes," He therefore thinks the ef
forts of thrse who wish to improve social
life should be directed to the liberation
of themselves "from the governments
whose futility In these times Is becomin
more and more obvious." This object could
only be attained by the unique means of
religiously and morally perfecting separate
Individuals. The idea la prevalent that the
evil accomplished by the "present partlcu
larly coarse, cruel, stupid and deceitful
Russian government" Is due to the fact
that the Russian government is not or
ganised on the model of other existing
governments, "which are similar Instltu
tions for the committal of all kinds of crimes
against their peoples." For the purpose
of correcting this, the people had used all
the means at their disposal, "imagining
that an, alteration of the external forms
might alter the essence."
Such activity, Count Tolstoi says, is In
expedient and unreasonable In that the
people assert rights which they do not
have. Violent strife by "external means
on the part of an Insignificant handful of
men against a powerful government de
fending its life Is only comical from the
point of view of the possibility of success
and piteous as regards the unfortunate,
misled Individual who perish In the un
eaual strife.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, March 10. (Special.) The
senate went on record this morning aa
absolutely . opposed to any Increase in
salaries of State employes, but rather a
reduction, and expressed its disapproval of
the liberality of the house In the matter
of allowing claims indiscriminately, by in
definitely postponing, with only one voice
opposing, that of Mockett of Lancaster,
the claim of Tom Kennard for $10,000. It
refused by a vote of 10 to 15 to reconsider
its action of yesterday in turning down
the Good; bill providing that all deputy
state officers be paid $1,600. and the senti
ment was expressed on the floor during
the debate that these salaries must con
form to the present statute.
The overwhelming sentiment in favor of
standing by tho present statute will In
sure the defeat of the house salary bill.
which Increased the deputies' salaries to
$1,800 without regard to the statutes. The
action of the senate today means that the
salary of the deputy secretary of state
and of the deputy state superintendent will
be reduced from $1,700 to $1,(00.
The defeat of the Kennard claim' bill
demonstrates that the senate is safe and
sane Insofar as economy goes. Incidentally,
the action of the Judiciary committee In
recommending the bill for indefinite post

In conclusion, Count Tolstoi says that in
America, France, Germany, Japan and
England the pernicious character of the
governments, while not so marked, those
belonging to those nations point to events
in Russia and naively imagine what is
done in Russia is ' done only in Russia,
while they enjoy complete freedom and
need no Improvement of their positions.
"But," he adds, "they are in the most
hopeless state of slavery the slavery of
slaves who do not understand they are
slaves and pride themselves on their posl
tlon as slaves. The .fact Is that every
coercive government is in the essence a
great and unnecessary evil. Therefore the
aim of the Russia!) and of all the men
should not be to replace one form of gov
ernment by another, but to free themselves
from every government and abolish It,"

Catarrh Causes Dis

Catarrh of the head
gives rise to a great
variety of disagreeable
symptoms.
. Catarrh " may Invade
the middle ear, causing ringing noises and
dull hearing.
It may invade the frontal sinuses, causing
periodical headaches.
It is quite apt to become fixed as nasal
catarrh, destroying the sense of smell.
The proverbial "frog In the throat" is
cauxed by catarrh of the pharynx.
While many remedies have been Invented
to give momentary relief to some of the
symptoms, there is only one remedy that
brings permanent cure.
This remedy, which Is Peruna, Is already

The demand for Peruna Is constantly In

One reason why Peruna has found per

contains no narcotio of ony kind. Peruna
Is perfectly harmless. It can be used any

EASY CHANGE.
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.
A lady writes from tht land of cotton
the results of a four years' use of the
food beverage hot PostunV Coffee:
"Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had a
more or less Injurious effect upon us all,
and I myself suffered almost death from
Indigestion and nervousness caused by it.
1 know it was that, because when I
would leave it off for a few days, I would
feel better. But it was hard to give It
up, even though I realised how harmful
It was to me.
"At last I found a perfectly easy way
to make the change. Four years ago 1
abandoned the coffee habit and began to
drink Poatum, and I also Influenced the
rest of the family to do the sams. Even
the children are allowed to drink it free
ly as they do water. And It has done us
all great good. I no longer suffer from
indigestion, and my nerves are In admir
able tone since I began to use Poslum
Coffee. We never use the old coffee any
more. We appreciate Postum as a' de
lightful and healthful beverage, which
not only Invigorates but supplies the best
of nourishment as well." Name given by
