PROSPERITY REIGNS II 'KEITH COUNTY aarerne (oart HaaAa Dow a limbrr et Deelsloas la Which Loirrr Taart la Rerrrird la Crlnr laal Action. tFrom a Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. March 8. (Special.) The ar rest of the president and two vice presi dentp of the New Tork Mutual Reserve I.lf Insurance company of New Tork will rail for ho action on th part of the Ne braska Insurance department, for the rea son this company has made no application for a, llcenae to do business In Nebraska this year. The company wan Drat refuged a license to do business here last year by the Insur ance department, but was later granted a conditional license. The Insurance depart ment attempted to revoke the license, but was prevented by an Injunction from the federal court. Van B. Laly. the slate agent, brought ault against Auditor Searle for $5,000 for ditmpges done the com pany by reason of his position. Thla ault was recently dismissed by Iady. as was the Injunction suit. Tn discussing the arrest of the officers of the company Audi tor Bearle said: "The Insurance department objected to the company giving a one-third reduction of the amount of the premium which was charged back against the policy, while those policies Iwued prior to last year had an Interest rate on deferred payments that would eat up the dividends earned. The company agreed to quit taking Interest bearing notes for those premiums. The de partment then Issued a conditional license that we were to make an examination of She affairs of the company to verify the statement filed, as we wore not fully satis fied that the actual conditions would bear out the figures In the statement. Before the department could get around to make the examlnaion the officials went into the federal court and secured an Injunction to restrain us from Interfering with the com pany or Its agents. We were unable to get a hearing during that license year and did not make an examination because we were restrained from so doing. The company has filed no report of Its business for 1906 and has not applied for a license, and none haa been Issued for It to do business for the year 1906." Keith Coanty Prospering. State Auditor Hearle returned this morn ing from Keith county, where he has been for a few days looking after personal mat ters. "Keith county Is covered by about eicht Inches of snow," said Mr. Searle, "and everything Is doing well In the crop line. In fact t found that during the last few months land which sold for $3 an acre has Increased to $5, and within a. year It will be selling for $10 an acre, and hard to get at that. We have had good crops lately and last year the wheat run from twenty to nfty-two bushels an acre and corn from ftty to sixty bushels." . Klawitter Gets Xew Trial. Paul Klawitter, who was sentenced to the penitentiary from Pierce county on a charge of criminal assault preferred by a girl of 11 years, will get another run for his money, as the supreme court this morn lng, overruled the decision of the tower court and granted the defendant a new trial. In his syllabus Judge Letton, who wiote the opinion, aald: "The -rule Is established In this state that tn caana of criminal aasault, unless the testimony of the prosecutrix Is cor roborated on material points, where the accused testifies as a witness on his own behalf and denies the charge, her testi mony alone Is not sufficient to warrant a conviction." ' Otoa Settlers Mast Pay. The contract entered Into by Christopher B. E. Btroemer and Joslah A. Van Orsdel whereby the latter agreed to secure a re duction In the price of lands In the old Otoe Indian reservation which had been bought from the government by Streamer has for a second time been held to . be valid by the supreme court. Van Orsdel was appointed the agent of the plaintiff In error to collect evidence a to the value of the lands In question and to file the same with the secretary of the Interior with the object of getting a rebate on the purchase price. Stroemer held that .the contract was Invalid becauee it was against publlo policy and was In the nature of employing a lobbyist to brine about legislation. This the court held la not true, but that Van Orsdel was employed merely as an agent to collect evidence and file the' same with the proper authorities. The seoretary of the Interior himself, the court said, suggested the Have You Learned the Name of I he Man in r- I imi "Vf.yi We'll Tell You in Confidence, the Man who should "FEATHER YOUR. NEST. legislation and Van Orsdel had nothing to do with that part r.f the work. C ataaaay Mast Pay for Delay. Charles Nelson, by virtue of a derision rendered by the supreme court today, will receive the sum of n.70 front the l"nlo:i Psclftc Railroad company for damages sus tained because the company delayed a car load of cattle which Nelson was" shipping over Its lines from South Omaha to Calli way. Nelson got his cattle Into Kearney on Saturday, after the train had left for Callaway, so he had to keep them yarded there until Monday. On that day" his cat tle were loaded and the conductor refus-.M to haul them out because Nelson did rmt have a shipping bill. This was In the hands of the yardmaster and he could not be found. Consequently the cattle wero again unloaded and remained In the yards until Tuesday afternoon. The court held the delay wns unnecessary and It did nit matter which of the company's employ? was responsible, the yardmaster or the conductor. DressUta llleaally' Pined. The supreme court has reversed the de cision of the Boone county district court, which was that John P. O'Neill and B. A. Baldwin, druggists, be lined 1200 for hav ing liquor in their possession for the pur poso of selling the same unlawfully. The evidence, the court said, showod that a couple of barrels of, wine had been shipped to them. The drayman at Albion had taken the liquor and put It In the ware house owned by the two men and the next day had taken a bill to the druggists. The latter objected to paying the same and the liquor was taken back to the railroad com pany. After It had been turned back to the company the complaints were filed against the men and the liquor waseeled. I'nder the circumstances the ccHirt holds the pre sumption could not be that the men had bought the liquor to sell unlawfully. Supreme Court Proceedings.

Strong evidence developed here today which indicates that the great amount of horse thieving which has been going on hereabouts during the lost year has been wholly or in part the work of local par ties. It Is believed that the local young men mixed up in the cases have kept watch of the various barns about the country and that when opportunity arrived they have taken the horses which they wanted. Then, It is believed, they have driven out of the vicinity as fast as possible to some unknown point where they have met the professional members of the gang who took the horses out into the "-prairies of the northwest. One team was traced with bloodhounds brought here from Norfolk as far up Into the northwest-ns Verd'gre, Neb., In Knox county, and there, having been on .the run for two days and nights without sleep, the pursuers were compelled to give up the chase Just as the horsethleves disap peared in the hills.

Dr. Tierce's (Itilden Medical Dis covefy, that in attempting to quote from the varioug worts 'on Materia Mediea one hardly knows where to commence, since tney are so volumin ous that only the briefest and most im perfect reference can be presented in a short article- like this. Briefly then let in say that the "Golden Medical Discovery" was named from the sturdy little plant Golden Seal, the root of which enters largely into its composition. Boeides this most valuable ingredient, it con tains clyceric extracts of Stone root. Queen s "root, Black Chorrybark, Blood root and Mandrake root. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin ent practitioner of Chicago and Profes sor of Materia Mcdica in the Bennett Medical College of that citv, in his recently published work on Therapeu tics, saya of Golden Seal root: " It is the most natural of stimulants to the normal functions of digestion. Its in fluence upon the raucous surfaces ren ders it .most important in catarrhal gastritis (inflammation of stomach) and gastric (stomach) ulceration." Many other authorities as well as Dr. Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis (Golden Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal dis eases of the nasal passages, stomach, bronchia, gall duct, kidneys, intestines and bladder. Among these, we may mention Prof. John King, M. D., author of the American Dispensatory; Prof. J. M. Scudder, M. D.. in his " Specific Medication"; Dr. Hale of the Hahne mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover Coe, M. D., of New York, in his "Or- ?;anic Medicines," Dr. Bartholow of Jef erson Med. College and scores of other leading medical writers and teachers. All the foregoing eminent authorities extol the curative virtues of Golden Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in testinal weakness, torpor and ulceration of bowels. Dr. Ellingwood recommends it most highly, n In those eases of atonic dyspepsia when the entire apparatus, Including the liver, is stagnant and inoperative." He clso extols it most highly in the manv weaknesses and de rangements peculiar to women and says, " It is a moet important remedy in many disorders of the womb." Golden Eeal root (Hydrastis), is an important ingredient of'Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription for weak, nervous, "rundown" women. But to return to the "Golden Medical Discovery " it may be said that its cur ative properties are not wholly depend ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is, as other equally potant ingredients add f;reatly to it value and in fact are not ess important than the Hydrastis, or Golden Seal. In all bronchial, throat, lung and kindred ailment, Stone root, Black Cherry bark, Queen's root and Blood root, each plays as important a part in effecting the phenominal cures of "Golden Medical Discovery" as does Golden Seal. All these ingredients have the endorsement of prominent practitioners of all schools of medicine tor the cure of diseases of the bronchia, 'Hroat and longs. 17 -s i , la- -- 3.
