Catarrh for Ten Years.
Mr. Charles 8. Many, 12 Water St.,
Osslnlng, N. T., writes:
"I had catarrh for ten years and tried
a great many kinds of medicines which
cost me a lot of money, but did me no
good. Instead of getting better I seemed
to get worse. My eyes were blood-shot,
my nose smelled so bad that I was
ashamed to go in company. I was night
guard at the prison and I would get so
dlxiy that I would have to catch hold of
something to keep from falling.
"I read about Peruna and thought I
would give It a trial. I used about ten
bottles, and am cured of catarrh, and the
dixsy feeling has left me."

"I can testify to the good which Peruna
has done for roe. I feel in many ways

ZIMMAN'S BILL GOES DOWN
Measure to Dlreet CI tr Engineer to
Repair Asphalt Pavements
ts Lost.
At an adjourned meeting of the city
council held Saturday morning Mr. Zlm
man'a resolution to direct the city engineer
to repair certain asphalt pavements and
pav fo"r the same out of the gefieral fund
was lost. The effect of that action will
be that but little asphalt pavement will
be repaired this season. The city repair
plant is now working and can be kept em
ployed to the extent of $1,300, IT5 of which
was given by cltliens interested in streets
adjoining their property.
Tho situation Is- that the pavement re
pair fund has been used up to within a
few hundred dollars of the limit provided
by 'chartvr. City Attorney Burnam ad
vised the council Saturday morning that
mony.from the general fund could not
legally be diverted for the use of repairing
pavements. Notwithstanding that opinion,
Councllmen Jackson, Elsasser and Zlmman
voted to adopt tho resolution, which was
lost, with Ave votes against Its adoption.
A bill from the Omnha Water company
for hydrant rental from June 30 to De
cember 30 was received by the council and
referred to the committee on finance and
claims for consideration. The bill waa for
$47,510.
POTATOES IN CELLAR BAKE
Tnbers Are Cooked by Fire Which
Completely Wipes Oat Home
la Karl? Morntna.
The home of Charles Bovaa, Forty-eighth
and Castellar streets, was completely de
stroyed by fire about 6 a. m. Saturday,
which was caused from a defective flue,
and as a result of the fire Bovaa has a
tine stock of baked potatoes which will be
disposed of cheap for cash. Bovaa rescued
mcst of his personal effects from the
house, with the exception of many bushels
of potatoes which had been stored in the
cellar. The potatoes were baked to a
turn, but aeem to be drug on the market.
The house Is situated beyond the tire
limits, so the department was of little as
sistance, but Bovaa had his goods re
moved before the arrival of the fire com
panies. Bovaa, hla wife and three children
are living In a shed on the premises. The
damage to tha house will be about $4K)
and Bovaa estimates his loss at $H0, un
less he can sll the baked potatoes. He
said he was thankful that water did not
get into the cellar, for there is a better
market for baked potatoes than boiled po
tatoes. GOVERNORS TAKE UP BANQUET

SOLDIERS FILE FOR MOSEY
Entrjmen Been red by El. Ltnd Mtn Est
So Othtr KotiTe.
NO INTENTION OF OCCUPYING LAND
Mthr ef Them Are Isnorant of Detail
of Uw raider Which They File
at Solicitation ot
Magnate.
The proceedings In the Richards-Corn
stotk-Hurwington land trial In federal court
Eaturday morning tended only to confirm
the general testimony ot the entire hearing
that old soldiers used as Instiuments by tho
big cattlemen In their land-grubbing pro'
ce88es were Ignorant of the details of filing
and had no Intention of occupying or tin
proving the land, making their entries solely
for the pittance In the shape of financial
remuneration there was In It,
It became noceaaary on the part of Tom
Huntington, Fred Hoyt, the two Hulle and
others who were procuring these filings for
Mr. Comstock, to Inaugurate the "Induce
ment s" to the old veterans. Hence the
scheme of paying the entrymen an Install
ment on their lease money of $50 per pear
at the rate of $'J6 every six months was the
f tha' ,he "tr"
?B.,M,other fre ' unt- .?ne 0'sh
terms of the agreement between the soldiers
i and Huntington was the semi-yearly pay
ment of this lease money, these leases all
being executed at the time of their first
visit, in Huntington', office at Gordon.
It was further shown during the trial
Saturday morning that In aeveral Instance.
ho efforts had been made to put any lu
provements whatever on the lands filed on
by the soldiers.
Men of lllsrh Standing
The witnesses of Saturday morning were
Invariably men of high standing In their
several communities and while some of
them admitted they did not know or read
the law regarding homesteads and pre
sumed that by leasing the lands they were
complying with the rules of the Land de
partment, othera candidly admitted that
they did not Intend to comply with the law
at all so far as residence on or cultivation
of the land was considered.
Smith M. Childa of Dunlap, la., who testl
fled Saturday morning, was another of Jim
Hull s colonists. He was an old soldier and
had signed the filing paper, at Cody, but
he did not know before whom. The witness
had not been approached by secret service
men that he knew of, nor was any effort
i made to Imtlmldate him by threats. He
knew of the rule that an abandonment of
a claim for more than six months meant
; its forfeiture. He believed leasing; the
j lands for erasing purposes waa in compll
ance with the laws regarding cultivation.
In his cross-examination he said he had
never read the rules of the land depart
ment, but believed visiting the land every
six months was In compliance with the law
regarding residence. He did not read his
homestead affidavit at the time of filing,
and no one read It to him that he could
remember, though It may have been done
Filed and Got Othera to.
Francis L. avis of Missouri Valley, i
real estate dealer. Insurance and loan agent,
was also an old soldier and he acted as
subagent for Hull, Huntington and others.
He made a tiling as a soldier and procured
others to do so. His story was In all re
spects similar to the stories of the pre'
ctaing witnesses regarding the visit to
Gordon, conference with Tom Huntington
for expenses and visit to the ranch to see
the land and the subsequent filing at Val
entine land office. After the second Aisit
to the land and the return of the party to
Gordon tha witness was handed a check
for $125 by Fred Hoyt which waa to be ap
plied to the payment of the expenses of the
Iowa party with him and $14 waa to go to
pay the filing fee for George Campbell,
late comer and member of the party. The
understanding had with Huntington and
others was that they could lease their land
for $60 per year, payable every six months
In $'i Installments. In hla cross-examination
he said he supposed he waa complying
with the law by merely visiting the land
In his re-dlrect examination he said
knew that actual residence on the land
was a requirement of the law, yet I have
known of final proof being made on public
lunda without actual residence.
Mr. Rush And this In violation of th
law!
Witness Yea.
Stricken From the Record,
Mr. Hall of counsel for the defense stren-
uously objected to the question and answer
and asked the court that both question
and answer be stricken from the record.
The objection was sustained,
Colonel William H. Emery of Missouri
Valley, a machinist and old soldier, told
like story of tiling at Gordon under the
guidance of Davis, Huntington and Hoyt
and hla aubsequent entry of the land at
Valentine. When he made hla second visit
to the claim he found no Improvements
were on it ot any character, and said:
"I told Tom Huntington he had not ful
filled hla contract In making lmprovementa
on my land and unless he did ao I would
not come again. Huntington then told me
that some legislation was now in progress
that would be more favorable to us, so
we could prove up without trouble. At
that time Mr. Huntington paid me $26 for
lease money for six months. I have not
been on the land since. Neither did 1 enter
it as a home. I entered It because I was
told by him that I could lease It and that
It could be proved up on that way."
Tha trial took a recess until 9:30 a. ra,
Monday, when the land trials will be held
in the north court room.

SAME SUIT TO DODGE TAX
Inlen aelle Begins Annual lnnne-
tloa Proeeedlaga to Block
Process of Law.
The Union Paclflo Railroad company be
gan Its annual Injunction proceedings in
the Vnlted 8taUs circuit court Saturday
morning to restrain the collection of taxes
for the year 1WJ6, levied against the prop
erty of the company In the several coun
ties of the state through which the road
runs. County Treasurer R. O. Fink of
Douglas county and all the county treasur
ers of the state In which the Union Paclflo
has property are made defendants.
The petition alleges that the levy ot
taxes as made by the State Board ot
Equalization for the year 1906, and which
became delinquent December 1, 190, are
Illegal, excessive and were made under
the stress of public clamor and other out
side Influences, and should not be col
lected. The petition further asks that the
defendants be restrained . from enforcing
the collection of those takes by distress
warrant or execution, as Is provided by the
present revenue law of the state.
The hearing on the Injunction la set tor
December 20, 1908.
The suit ia identical with those filed for
the same purpose on December 1, 1904, and
December 1, 1906, and which are now pend
ing in th United State, supreme court
awaiting a full bench, on appeal from the
lower court, wherein a decision waa given
for the state.
Th amount of tax assessed In 1903 was
K5S2SS32: in 1904. $10,676,616; in 1905. W.bJU,
366. and In 1906, $11,633,182.48, which is al
leged to be an Increase of $5,309,830.48 over
the law of 1903. and Is held to De unjusi,
unfair and disproportionate wun oiner iax
nmnertv In the state.
, r- .,..
Th. .mount of the assessment oiimn
the limits of the city of Omaha In 1906 is
$86 660, and Treasurer Fink Is asked to be
restrained from levying tax on any valua
tion exceeding $12,000 per mile within the

Gets Drank.
With nothing but a pair of thin carpet
linTr to eover her feet. Mra. Jamea Nel
son, who lives in a humble cottage at
Eleventh and Charles streets, went to the
police station Saturday morning with a
pitiful tale of a husband who spent all his
money for liquor and failed to provide for
his wife and three small children. Nelson
went home Friday night intoxicated and
waa deaf to the entreaties of his wife for a
little money with which to buy coal ana
provisions. Mrs. Nelson said there was
nothing In the house Saturday morning but
a little flour and a few sweet potatoes
and that she had pawned her shoos to ob
tain money with which to pay an Install
ment on some furniture. For a Thanksgiv
ing dinner the wife and children were
given a few pork chops lastead of the
chicken which had been promised by Nel
son. A complaint was filed by the city prose
cutor charging Nelson with drunkenness
and he waa arrested Saturday mornlngby
Sergeant Whalen. An effort will be made
to induce Nelson to provide for his family
by means of pressure brought to bear In

Jurymen for the month of January In order

HARD COAL HIGHEST HERE
Antbraoit Sella for Mor in Omaha Then
it Ctet in Little) Towns. ' ,
HERMAN PAYS NINE, SEVENTY-FIVE
On Car Load There la Sold at that
' Price and Yet Both Towna
Have frame Railroad
Tariff.
In view of the Impending prosecution of
the local Coal trust, Omaha people who
have to pay $10.50 or $11 a ton for anthra
cite coal may be Interested In the report
that this same product Is selling for $9.71
ton in the little town of Herman, only
a comparatively few miles from here on
the Northwestern railroad. Herman does
not use a considerable fraction a. much
coal aa Omaha. This la one point which
the prosecution will be asked to cover In
Ha attempt to bring about an equitable ad
justment of local conditions.
Railroads, for certain reaaona, have wit
nessed the formation of a congestion ot
freight cara In Nebraska and the west
until a altuatlor called a "car famine"
now prevails. Because of that car famine
the Burlington recently discovered that aev
eral towna In tha atate were without a
ton of coal In reserve and to relieve them
the Burlington decided to haul no corn
until enough coal waa laid down in theae
famlBhed towna to aupply the demand. It
seeina other roads have followed this plan,
and by thla process Herman got one car
of hard coal one car, and that coal sold
for $9 75 a ton, while the same coal waa
selling in Omaha, where the Coal truat la
under the bane of law, for $10.50 or $11 a
ton.
Freight Jnst the Same.
Another queer feature of the Herman
situation cornea to light In the fact that
Herman, on the Northwestern line between
Omaha and Sioux City, haa to pay the aame
rate, $2.50 a ton, on Its hard coal from Chi
cago a" Omaha dealers pay, ao It la not
by reason of a discrimination In ratea the
Herman dealers are enabled to undersell
the Omaha dealers.
The Omaha dealer, for the last three
years have urged aa a mitigating circum
stance In their cae that they were op
pressed by excessive rates and could not
possibly sell their coal any cheaper. The
Herman dealera pay the same rates and on
a much .mailer quantity of coal, undersell
the local dealers, who have prepared and
exhibited schedules pretending to .how they
cannot possibly make over 60 cents profit
on a ton of hard coal.
Omaha people are paying within 75 cents
as much for the seml-anthraclte coal thla
year aa the people In Herman are paying
tor the anthracite coal.
Soft Coal Situation.
Burlington officials claim the .oft coal
situation Is not as serious as It was, and
while they have little coal In storage, they
claim they can spare a car for any station
along the line If there is Immediate pros
pect of a coal famine. The Burlington
road has a contract for 2.200 tona a day
from the Sheridan mines, and aa the largeat
output for the8e mines for any day during
the last month waa 2,550 tona, there la
not much coal left for commercial pur
poses when the railroad la taking It.
limit.
The storage coal along the Union Pacific
was drawn op heavily during the snow
storms In the western part of the state
some time ago and the road haa not been
able to catch up on that, although plenty
of coal Is in sight. The Union Paclflo uses
24,000 tons of coal a week to operate its
main line, and the output of the Rock
Springs mines Is 8,000 tons a day. The
Central Coal and Coke company also has
big mines at Rock Springs, but this coal
la used for smeltera and commercial pur
poses. Some relief Is expected shortly from the
Colorado roads, as the Burlington has been
flooding cara Into these roads at a rapid
rate. The local traffic In Colorado at this
time Is enormous and the roads there are
almost swamped.
Scarcity of men at the mlnea Is also
given as one reason of the coal shortage
In the weBt. A funeral at Sheridan kept
the men from working Wednesday) Thurs
day waa Thanksgiving, and another funeral
Friday kept the mlnea closed. .When a day
la lost at the mines there la no way of
making up the time lost and the coal sup
ply Is cut down Just that much.

Calgary rivals Medicine Hat as a factor
In the calculations of the weather man.
But it has other and more unique claims to
distinction than that of a cold weather ln

ne'er-do-wells, the paradise of the remit

Calgary la a town in the Canadian north
west, about nine hundred milea further
along the line than Winnipeg and in the
midst of a rich ranching country. It la
growing fast and in the near future it will
no doubt lose Its attraction for wayward
sons of English families.
There are a good many remittance men
In the great Northwest, sons of wealthy
Englishmen sent out to the wilds to prevent
them from disgracing the old people at
home. England Itself la such a Utile place
that once a young man does something out
of the ordinary, whether good or bad,
It speedily become a matter of public
knowledge. Bo the doers of evils are sent
away to expiate their sins In the bracing
air of the prairie, while the doers of good
remain to build up the name.
The traveler who meets a remittance man
for the first time will probably be struck
by the fact that he la well bred. Bo he la;
