Deal In Camlng Connty.
How Governor Mickey expects to have
hla name brought before the state, conven
tion oa a candidate for I'nlted States sena
tor haa been tipped off here. Warden
Beemer of the penitentiary has had a po
litical feud up In Cuming county with
Andy Oleson of Wiener, but a deal has
been fixed up, so he confided to some
friends, by which Oleson Is to be the con
trolling factor In the congressional dele

gation. Beemer haa promised to vote the
Cuming delegates for Mickey "to start

Morris Brown when needed. That, at least,
la the program. If It goes through.
Wlnnett Walts on Brown.
Dr. H. J. Wlnnett has not yet named
his Iancaeter county delegation and It Is
now understood he la waiting until Norris
Brown takes his Buffalo coanty delegation
out of his vest pocket and gives that to
the public. It Is talked around the
streets that Brown's delegation from Buf
falo county will not be free from pass
holders and for that reason he prefers
to keep the Identity of the members from
the public to avoid unpleasant newspaper
discussion.
Pays to Be no Expert.
Louis E. Wettllng has found it a pay
ing business to work for the state. Mr.
Wettllng, though one of the reformers,
charged the state (Ml) for giving expert

accountant and as expert on values In In

cerned I am feeling all right and expect to
land the nomination."
"I have no rhsutaiKina dates," remarked
Congressman Klnkald at the Llndell last
night, "and therefore I will be In my Dis
trict and In Nebraska not only after the
state convention, but before. I Intend to
attend all the picnics and all tlie reunions
In the Sixth district and meet with my peo
ple. The counties which have held conven
tions have been very kind to me and I ap
preciate their treatment."
Judge Klnkald came here on private busi
ness and left this afternoon for the north
west. tnthnrltr Over Jails Wanted.
Secretary P1pr of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections Is getting ready
to have a meeting of the board to discuss
legislation needed to give It greater au
thority In dealing with county Jails and
chsritnble Institutions. Mr. Piper has Just
returned from a trip through the state and
m.iny of the Jails he found In poor condi
tion. At his suggestion In some Instances
the authorities did some pal"1" and
cleaned up the places, but In other ca'es
the county authorities refused to act.
Mr. riper will recommend a separate In
stitution be erected for the habitation of
epileptics, taking them from the Insane
hospitals because of the effect such cases
have on the other patients. He wilt also
recommend a bill to abolish Jails In base
ments and a law which will give the
board's secretary power to order officials
to clean up the Jails and keep them In first
class sanitary condition. To compel this
now Mr. Piper has to bluff his way through
and ho has not the authority under the law
to get his orders enforced.
Mickey Bark from Wisconsin.
Governor Mickey has returned from
Geneva Beach. Wis., where he addressed
the National Young Men's Christian as
sociation. His son, Benjamin Mickey, will
remain at the summer resort for several
days. The governor reports an Immense,
crowd and a good time.
Bryan to Boom Pair.
William J. Bryan la expected to be a big
drawing card for the state fair. Colonel
John Maher a year ago expected to have
Judge Alton B. Parker to visit him during
fsir week, but for some reason this plan
has been abandoned and the colonel will
go to New York to meet Bryan Instead of
his old-time chum and friend, Parker. The
reception to Mr. Bryan will occur during
the state fair and aa the railroads are
going to sell tickets for one rate plus GO
cents, which Includes the fair ticket. It Is
expected that thousands of those who come
to the Bryan reception will also visit the
fair and turn In the coupon. While It Is
not on the program as yet. It Is not unlikely
that Bryan will be one of the speokers at
the fair grounds.

RICHARDSON SHOHT Of TEACHERS
Mew Certlneatlon Law Blamed tor tha
Condition.
FALLS CITY. Neb., Aug. 7. (Special -Richardson
county, according to the state
ment of County Superintendent Oliver, Is
short fifty teachers and this condition Is the
result of the enforcement of house roll No.
IS, Introduced by Mr. Warner and passed
by the last legislature. There Is an
abundance of teachers In this county such
as 'they are but they have not been able
to pass the examinations and qualify un
der this new law and the school boards of
a great many districts are In trouble by
falling to find teachers for their schools
and the few available are demanding higher
wages. The law aa It stands has but
few friends among the school officers and
all the disappointed teachers are ajrnlnst
It and the matter was Injected Into local
politics by the introduction by Mr. Reavla
of the following resolution In the repub
lican convention yesterday:
Whereas, the last session of the lesrls
lature amended one section of the school
laws so as to make It difficult for teachers
to meet the requirements for qualifications
io leacn. aiso in placing the certification
of the teachers out of the power of the
county superintendent and placing the
same In a board to be appointed by the
state superintendent located at Lincoln.
Therefore. Be It resolved that our nom
inees to the legislature be and they are
hereby Instructed to use all reasonable
means to repeal and amend said laws.
It appears that for the present some re
lief will have to be granted on the matter
of teachers. The prohibition party say
that no nominations will be made for the
legislature If they can get the nominees of
either of the old parties to agree to stand
first for the passage of a local option law
and second for the granting of woman's
rights In municipal affairs. In the next

have the balance of power here and that
the party which declares support of these
measures will be the winning party on
the legislative ticket In Richardson county

TO READERS OF THE "
LADIES' HOME JOURNAL:
Did yon rend the article published by The Ladies' Home Journat
In May 1904, attacking Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription? Hava
you seen the statement more recently made by Mr. Bok, the Editor of4
that mazarine that his company "has not paid a single penny to Dr.
R. V. Tierce's concern in settlement of any suit ' ? Wt
wish you to know the truth. The facts are these :
Four days after the article in May 1904, appeared, Dr. Tierce's
company sued The Ladies' Home Journal publishers for libel. Thfj
trial was had in April last. Dr. Pierce proved that the attack made by,
The Ladies' Home Journal was false. He proved that Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription does net, and ntxtr did contain either alcohol or any
of the injurious drugs which The Ladies' Home Journal falsely stated
it did contain. This was so conclusively shown that the attorneys for,
The Ladies' Home Journat were forced to admit it. The jury rendered
a verdict against The Ladies' Home Journal in favor of Dr. Pierce's
company for $16,000.00. This was a complete vindication of Doctor
Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription." It judicially established that
the libel was wholly false, and without any justification.
Dr. Tierce, however, believed that his company is justly entitled
uch larsrer sum. Through his attorneys he has,'
therefore, applied to the court for a new trial of the case. For this
reason, and for this reason alone, has The Ladies' Home Journal not
yet paid "a single penny to Dr. R. V. Tierce's concern." Dr. Tierce
has simply chosen not to collect the judgment until the motion for ft,
new trial has been decided. '
In the light of these facts does not this boastful statement that It
"has not paid a single penny to Dr. R. V. Tierce's concern" look lik

This experience of Dr. Smith was eorrob
orated by the standard Medical Authorities,
of the several schools of practice, endorsing
the various Ingredients In the strongest
terms. Dr. Smith being asked to name some
of these authorities as to the curative value
of the above roots read from the standard
works, such as the United States Dispensa

CASE OF SNAP JUDGMENT
Resolution Passed at Epworth Park De
nounciue Rosewater a Put Up Job.
NOT AUDIBLE AS JMS READ TO. CROWD
James H. Moran, fusion Candidate,
Was There and Did Sot Know
What It Was Till Ha
Read tt la Papers.
"I waa down at Epworth park the other
day when that resolution was adopted denouncing-
Edward Rosewater because he
had opposed prohibition In Nebraska, and
I want to tell you that of the 10,000 people
who made up that audience In the open
air I'll warrant not over fifty knew what
the resolution waa until they. Ilka myself,
read It In the morning papera the next
day," sld James 11. Moran of Nebraska
City, who ia running for the nomination
of land commissioner on the fusion ticket.
"It waa one of those cases we call "snap
Judgment,' and was so apparent on its
face aa to disgust many people, I dare say,
when they learned the Inside facta,
"Aa a matter of fact, I waa standing
well back in the crowd when the preacher
I forget his name Introduced the resolu
tion, and I can truthfully say to you 1
knew nothing ot what the resolution was
until the next morning, when I read it In
the Lincoln Journal. But, at the aaine
time, when It waa read some fellow within
two or three feet of me Jumped up and
seconded the resolution or the motion to
adopt It. Now, I would be willing to take
an oath that that man didn't hear the
resolution. My hearing ia good and I
couldn't understand one word of what It
was. If this brother knew what the reso
lution was he had previous knowledge of
It; he did not hear it aa It was read by
this preacher. It looked like a put-up
Job to me and to every other unprejudiced
man there, and I don't think Mr. Itose
water was hurt by It In the least."
Mr. Moran inclines to the opinion that
George W, Berge now seems to possess
more strength thsn sny other fusion can
didate for governor. He doea not think
Shallenberger haa any chance of nomina

tion" atands alone as being the only
medicine for woman's special ailments
which has any such profrtnonal endorse
ment of its several ingredient which
fact is generally recognized as entitled
to much more weight than any amonnt
of lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The "Favorite Prescription" sfanif
alorw as the only non-secret, medicine,
for woman's ailments. Its manufact
urers are not afraid to publish its in
gredient, as they do, broadcast thus
courting the fullest scrutiny.
The "Favorite Prescription" has been
on trial in court and came out fully
vindicated as containing no harmful ot
habit-forming drugs.
What other medicine for women could
stand such a tost?
No invalid women can afford to
accept a secret nostrum of unknown
competition for this tried and proven
remedy of known composition. Lead
ing physiciaus often prescribe it because
thev know exactly what it is made of
and that the ingredients of which it ia
composed are the very best known to
medical science for the cure of woman's
peculiar weaknesses and dclicat
ailments.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not
advertised as a "Cure All " but admirably
fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a
superior and most positive remedy for on
class of diseases only those easily recog

women. It Is a powerful, yet gently act
