(From a Staff Correspondent.)
..INCOLN. Neh.. Sept. 16 (Special.)
Members of the State Hoard of Assessment
who stood out for a higher assessment of
railroad property and who figured for weka
and weeks on the assessment, finally ar
riving at a decision they thought was cor
rect and that thry thought would please
the republican party which elected them,
feel rather put nut at the action of the
republican state convention, which failed to
express approval of the work of the board.
Eenatnr George Sheldon went before the
resolutions co-nmlttee and asked that a
plank be Inserted condemning the Burling
ton and I'nlon Pacific railroads for not
paying their taxes, but he was sat down
upon by tha committee. One member of the
board said It would .have encouraged ths
board to have known that It did what was
right In fixing the assessment of railroads
had the convention endorsed Its work, and
as It didn't he felt that the committee
framed up the plar.k regarding the staH
administration In a manner to slap tha
board.
Kuslnnlats Ip In the Air.
Though the democratic and populists
state conventions are only a few day uft
there Is no talk at all about a candidate
for supreme Judge or for regents of the
Stato university. The fact that the re
publican atate convention nominated Com
missioner Ijctton has taken most of the
wind out of the democrats In this neck of
tha woods and they seem to have no choice,
though most of them predict that Commis
sioner Hastings will be the nominee. Mr.
Bryan will be the attraction at the demo
cratic convention, but the populists so far
have failed to get a drawing card.
Wires Go t'ndersrround.
All the poles on O street must comedown
and all the wires will have to go under
ground. This Is the order of Mayor Brown
who has Just succeeded in getting the signs
which extend more than four feet out from
the lot lino taken down. The mayor Irsued
his order about the signs last Monday end
gave the merchants until Saturday night to
do the work or be hauled before the police
Judge Monday morning. Nearly every lgn
haa been hauled down and this ready re
sponse on the part of the merchants lias in

Bryan Donates to Park.
W. J. Bryan will contribute ten acres of
ground to the city to be used In connection
with the tract recently bought by the city
for a park, a thing which Lincoln does not
possess at this time. Mr. Bryan called upon
Mayor Brown several days ago and notified
him to purchase the ground and send the
bill to him. The mayor haa requested a
number of wealthy residents to donate
money for the purchase of land, but Mr.
Bryan got to him before the request had
been made of the democratic leader.
Lincoln was visited by a severe wind,
rain and hall storm last night, which
played havoc with electric wires. Salt
Creek and Antelope creek overflowed and
many cellars were filled with water. The
rain began shortly before midnight and
kept up until 8 o'clock this morning.

Woman, babies and buggy were dragged
In a heap, but other than to shake up Mrs.
White and scratch the face of one of the
babies none of the three was Injured. The
buggy was demolished. The team belonged
to a milk man and broke loose from the

Few People Know How I aeful It la la
Preserving" Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
U safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purfier in nature, but lew realise its
vaius when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gasea and lm
purities always present in the stomach and
intestines and carries them out of tha sys
tem. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
tng, drinking or after eating onions and
other odo-pus vegetables.
Charcoal' effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
it absorbs the injurious gasea which col
lect la the stomach and bowels; it dlsin
fects tne mourn and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists aell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for tlie money is in Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges; they are composed of tha
finest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or,
rather, in the form of large, pleasant tast
log lozenges, , the charcoal being mixed
with homy.
The dully use of these losenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of tha
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
ii Js that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of tha
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Loienges to all patients
suffering from gas in ths stomach and
bfiwels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver U greatly benefited
by tha dally use of them; they cost but
twenty-live cents a box at drug stores.

FCSIO A FAH.IRK I KEARNEY
Popnllsts. pnrn Invitation to Join
the Democratic Party.
MINDEN. Neb., Sept. 36 (Special Tele
gram.) The democrats and populists held
their county conventions here today. The
populists appointed a committee of three
to confer with the democrats In the selec
tion of a fusion county ticket. The dem -f
rats answered by sending a delegation to
the populist convention Inviting the popu
lists to Join the democratic party. This
aroused the antl-fuslon undercurrent and
a bitter disagreement resulted, followed by
both parties putting a ticket In the field.
For the first time in many years in this
county there will be no fusion. Antagonis
tic feeling runs high. Both democrats and
populists concede the election of the entlr
republican fleket. The following tickets
were named: Populist Clerk, J. H. Jensen;
superintendent, Kdward Curtis; Judge, O.
L. Jordan; sheriff, William Gormly; treas
urer, O. II. Wenner. Democrat Cle.-k,
George Hammond; sheriff, D. W. Hecox;
treasurer, M. Bang; Judge, Charles Chap-
pell; coroner. Dr. England. The democrats
made no nomination for superintendent,
having no one qualified for the office.
HARTINGTON, Neb , Sept. 16. (Special
Telegram.) The democrats of Cedar county
met in convention here today, there being
a fairly good representation. The popu
lists will hold no convention and fusion Is a
thing of the past. The following ticket was
nominated: Clerk, Charles Hcrter; treas
urer, Theodore Baste; sheriff. Dave Me
Fadden; county Judge, C. H. Whitney; sup
erintendent, W. E. Miller; coroner. Dr. N.

ing the nomination, said he only wanted
democrats to vote for him. H. Vossberg of
Plalnview said in a speech in the conven
tion that this was not a democratic con
vention, a they had nominated three pop
ulists and only two democrats for office.
SCHUTLER. Neb., Sept. 16.-(SpecIal
Telegram.) The democrats of Colfax
county held their convention at the court
house today to elect delegates to the state
convention. The attendance was slim. Ed
ward Lampofer presided. A sentiment was
expressed in favor of holding the county
convention to elect the county ticket In
Schuyler, as the towns In the north end of
the county are not easily accessible. It
was recommended, however, that If, any of
the other towns wanted the convention they
should have a fair hearing. The Colfax
county, populists held their convention at
the courthouse today to elect delegates to
attend the state convention at Lincoln Sep
tember 20. The attendance at the conven
Hon was small, but thirteen delegates were
finally elected.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Sept. l.-(Spe-
clal Telegram. -The democrats and popu
lists of Hall county met In convention in
adjoining rooms today, the former being
attended by about fifty and the latter by
thirty delegates. A full fusion ticket was
placed in the field, though In the populists'
convention there was a disposition to en
dorse Miss Brown, republican candidate
for superintendent. A pathetic Incident oc
curred in the democratic convention when
George Poell, the St. Joseph A Grand
Island fireman, who saved the life of
child which was playing on the track and
lost his left leg thereby, was nominated
for county clerk. Several eloquent ad
dresses were, made as to the heroic act
of the man, and when Mr. Poell was
called for ha merely bowed and said:
"Gentlemen, I have not much to say; It
kind of hurts," and his voice broke with
emotion. There was scarcely a dry eye
m the convention.

WHAT the terrible craving for liquor is, but few know WHY It is. It is a symptom of the disease of inebriety,
which Dr. Leslie E. Keeley defined as "a condition wherein the nerve cells have become so accustomed to per
forming their duties and functions under the influence of nlc-ohol that they are dependent upon it, and will
no longer perform their duties and functions properly and painlessly except when under its influence." The
disease yields readily to the treatment formulated by Dr. Keeley, and commonly known as the Keeley Cure.
This treatment has been proven efficacious by an experience of nearly twenty-five years, and the cure of more
than 36,000 cases of addition to alcohol, morphine, cocaine, tobacco, etc. It not only destroys every vestige
of the craving for thefce poisons, but also Imparts new strength and vigor to every organ of the system and im
proves the general health. Considering the great number of fraudulent so-called cures promoted by adven
turers, the public should beware of laymen who advertise themselves as doctors, and claim to have discov
ered and to administer wonderful cures, but who have no niedieul education and are not physicians. This is
a matter deserving of careful attention from those w ho require medical treatment. The Keeley treatment ia
administered only in authorized Keeley institutes, of which there is but one ln the state of Nebraska. For

well to know that Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral is very
pleasant. But it is a
medicine, a strong
medicine.
Time and time again we have published the
formula of this cough medicine in the principal
Medical Journals of this country and Europe,
and have mailed it to nearly every physician in
the United States.
So it follows that when your doctor orders it
for coughs, colds, bronchitis, or consumption,
he knows precisely what he is giving.
Physicians recommend their families to keep
