CHAMBERLAIV9 BOD PLACEJD HIGH
Judge Makes It 2fl.rHK, Which is
Thought to Re Ont of Reach.
TECUMSEIL Neb., April 17 (Special Tel
egram.) I'pon the convening of the dis
trict court this morning Charles M. Cham
berlain, the defaulting cashier of the failed
Chamberlain banking house of this city,
was taken before Judge A. H. Babcock
for bond. Mr. Chamberlain's attorney,
J. S. Rose of Lincoln, addressed the court
and called attention to the fact that Mr.
Chamberlain had given himself up and
had caused the $1,200 reward offered for
him by the county to be withdrawn and
thus saved it to the county. Mr. Rose In
timated that Mr. Chamberlain could prob
ably furnish bond In the sum of 10,0u0.
Attorney G. A. Adams of Lincoln, for the
state, stated all that was wanted in the
way of a bond was one that would cause
Mr. Chamberlain to be In the court when
he was wanted.
The court wanted to know when the case
might go to trial, and County Attorney J.
C. Moore announced that the state would
be ready next week. Mr. Rose said the
defense would require some time to go
over the books and get ready. It was an
nounced that there were eighteen Indict
ments against Mr. Chamberlain.
Judge Babcock took the counsel for each
aide into the Judge's room and talked the
matter over and reached figures for a
bond. When the party returned to the
court room Mr. Rose stepped up to Mir.
Chamberlain and whispered to blm where
upon Mr. Chamberlain shook his head un
approvingly several times. He was worked
up and seemingly crushed. The court an
nounced that he would allow one-eighth
of what the bond ought to be for Mr.
Chamberlain volunteering to return to
Tecumseh and then announced that the
bond would be 3,BO0. It Is not believed
Mr. Chamberlain can give It. , He was
given over to the sheriff and Is still In his
custody.
All manner of stories are current on the
street In regard to the return of Mr. Cham
berlain. One Is to the effect that there are
certain parties in the county who are
very uneasy st this time and would have
been much better pleased had the cashier
of the failed bank decided to continue
to remain tn the dark. Their dealings
with the failed Institution after Mr. Cham
berlain had disappeared In settling up old
scores are alleged to cause them to be
uneasy. Just what amount of truth there
Is In this statement remains to be seen.
Mr. -Chamberlain says he has been In
the employ of a packing house In Chicago
for several weeks, starting In with the
hardest kind of manual labor, nr.d finally
being given something more desirable. His
brother, C. K. Chamberlain, Is an attorney
of the Windy city, and another brother,
J. I.. Chamberlain, was once a business
man of this city, but now lives in Lin-coin.

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
.LINCOLN. April 17. (Special.) The Bur
lington railroad In Nebraska during the
last year cleared above all of lta expenses
t5,9!,to4.S8. What the system cleared
throughout the United States the report
does not show, the financial statement
showing merely the Nebraska statement,
except the capital stock. This statement,
together with the statement for the entire
system, has long been wanted by the state
board, but heretofore the roads have made
the financial statement merely for the sys
tem and claimed to be unable to secure a
statement of the Nebraska earnings. This
year, however, it omits the earnings of
the system outside of the state. The state
ment shows this:
Gross earnings in Nebraska J15,44.978 Ort
Operating expenses in Neb 8.P.WS7.56
Taxes paid In Nebraska iVW.SMi.SB
Net earnings In Nebraska 5,9!ti,064.68
The report does not say whether the
amount spent In taxes whs actually paid
out or whether some of It Is that which is
still in litigation and the payment of
which it Is contesting. The report states
that none of the stock has been on the
market for three years and quotes no
value. The capital stock all paid up
amounts to $110,839,100.
Bonds have been issued for 2.1S8.63 miles
in Nebraska and 610.98 miles in states west
of the Missouri river to the amount of
$53,470,000. less tlC,513,637.43 In the sinking
fund, leaving the net debt of the system
west of the river $26,437,362.57. The Ne
braska proportion of that debt is 78.02 per
cent, or $28,428,429.28, or making the bonded
debt for Nebraska $10,887 a mile.
The report says nothing of any dividends
and neither does lt9 author make any
totals of the value of Its tangible prop
erty. One Item In the report which, if the mem
bers of the late legislature and members
of previous legislatures would look up. It
would show them that the argument urged i
by thev railroad attorneys that to tax the
Omaha terminals for city purposes would
be to take away from the school funds of
the western counties Just that much j
money was a delusion and a snare. The
Burlington depot In Omaha is returned to
the state board at a valuation of $300,000
and It Is credited to the Omaha & South
western railroad, which has a total mile
age of M.79 mile. That Is how far the
Burlington depot and the Burlington ter
minals In Omaha Is scattered over the
Btate, Just 61.79 miles. And, according to
the records. It has always been scattered
over that small portion of the system If it
was ever scattered at all. Thl mileage is
distributed among the counties as follows:
Douglas. 4.86; Sarpy, 14.87: Cass, 1.02; Sa
line, 18.02, and Gage 13.02. Five counties
out of the ninety in the state get in on
the distribution.
The three classes of locomotive are re
turned at $10,000, $7,600 and $4,c00, respect
ively. Mileage of the System.
While the financial statements cover the
entire system in Nebraska, the tangible
property Is returned according to the lines
that go to make up the Bystem. In the
system there are seventeen lines, and their
mileage is divided among th various coun
ties through which they run as follows:

The strongest testimony of the ex
cellence of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
rests in the fact that physicians have
freely prescribed it during the past
sixty years.
As you know, physicians are never
prejudiced in favor of Proprietary
Medicines. To have them endorse a
remedy is the most positive kind of
proof that it must have unusual
virtues.
One reason why we have this favor
of the Medical Profession is because
there is no secret about Ayer's Cherry 1
Pectoral.
Time and time again we have pub
lished the formula in the principal
Medical Journals of this country and
Europe, and have mailed it to nearly
every practising physician in the
United States. So it follows that
when your physician orders Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral for your cough he
knows precisely what he is giving you.
To say that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
will cure every disease of the throat,
bronchial tubes, anyd lungs, without a

single failure, would simply be stating
an untruth. Even the most skilful'
physician would make no such claim.
We would that we could prepare an
infallible remedy, one that should
never fail under any circumstances.
But that is beyond our art, and we
only promise to give the best that the
medical intelligence of our .times can
devise and modern skill prepare.
Vividly alive to the responsibility of
making such a remedy, we are deter
mined none shall be disappointed
through our neglect. We promise
you that every bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral shall be the very best that
can possibly be made.
Do not undervalue the services of
a skilful physician. No Proprietary
Medicine can take the place of the
family doctor. Therefore we say: Con
sult your physician freely about your
case and ask him what he thinks
about your taking Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral for your cough. If he says take
it, then take It. If he says do not take
it, then follow his advice. t'&i
