Mr. i iambic ae a summary of the testimony or each of those who had appeared be fore the sub-committee, analysing It ami giving his view of Its bearing upon the Issue as to whether Mr. l.or mer rightfully and lawfully la entitled to his seat In the senate. In order to invalidate the title of Mr. I.i. timer to membership Mr. Gamble held It would be necessary to show: That In his election he directly partici pated In one or more acts of bribery attempted In' berv or hud know letixe liuti sanctioned and encouraged such or met or acts of bribery. That hv con not prat tle or through brlherv a stitritient number of votes were secured In his Interest and actually votetl for 'him. ami that the number so secured was sulflcieitt to change the result of the election. Not even by thy "prosecution" in the case, declared Mr. Gamble, was It claimed that Mr. I. ot liner directly or indirectly participated In any corrupt practice ami j no evidence was adduced to connect hlin in the most remote degree with bribery. The legislature of Illinois was held up by the speaker as a body In which cor ruption haa prevailed and In which money has been received by members for unlawful and unworthy purposes. Funds had been distributed after adjournment among those who had been responsible for cer tain legislation, but never had It been shown by any evidence worthy, In the opinion of Senator Gamble, of belief that such funds had been used for the election of a Craved States senator. "1 feel," said the speaker, "that If Sen ator Ixirlmer he guiltless as regards these practices and a sufficient number of votes for the membership who voted for him were not tainted or (.'(irrupted, then he should not be made to Buffer as a result of a general practice which appears to have been In vogue throughout the dif ferent legislative sessions, a affecting matter of legislation solely and disas sociated from the election of a L'nlted States senator." The speaker analysed the vote cast In the election and argued, citing authorities, that even the exclusion of the vote cast for Mr. l.orlmer and alleged to have been tainted would yet leave Mr. lxirlmer a clear majority of one.

ONE KILLED IN MILLARD HOTEL (Continued from Page One.) says, the odor became stronger snd he was on the point of msklng a second In vestigation w hen the alarm was sounded. Two men hung from a window sill of their room on the third fjoor for several minutes before they were discovered and taken down by meant of a ladder. The smoke at this end of the building was very dense and the men had hung In their perilous position until they were nearly overcome before they were pointed out by a woman who had been rescued from a room near them a short time before. When the firemen reached them the men were so exhausted that they had to be carried down the ladder. The loss Monday morning was estimated by W. b. Miller to be about 110.000. MnrvlTora tint ot Danger. The survivors, all of whoii were taken to the Omaha Ueneral hospital a few blocks away, are out of danger and rapidly con valescing from the effects of the smoke that they Inhaled. They tell thrilling sto rles of narrow escapes from the burning biilMlng. E. J. Bu s hi of Lincoln, w ho travels for a St. Louis dry goods firm, was the most seriously Injured, sustaining a broken ankle and having his hands severely lacerated In his slide down a rope from th fourth floor. "I was Bleeping in a room on the fourth floor when awakened by the smoke in my room." said Strahl. "1 partially dressed and hurried out of the room trying to find a fire escape. The corridor was so full of smoke that I could not see, and with diffi culty found the door of my room again. I found the rope fire escape, but did not fasten the belt around myself. I 'don't think the rope reached the ground, anyway, I fell and that Is all I can remember." Tell of Rescue. B. J. Greeley of Chicago said that he wss awakened by the screams of women In the corridors. He dressed and made his way out, -but lost himself In the smoke. Finally he entered a room, where he found a men and a woman lying on ths floor. "The other man and myself," said Greeley, "let the woman down by a rope, as she was unconscious. By that time th smok In the room was so dense that ws war forced to hang out of the window un til we felt the extension ladders, which had meanwhile been rslaed, under our feet. How we climbed down that ladder I don't exactly remember," W. II. Stevens, who Is a salesman for the National Biscuit company, with head quarters In tit. Louts, is another one of the men at the hospital. Stevens was over come by the smoke and carried down the stairway. Mrs. Dunn, wife of a federal official, crippled with rheumatism, was carried out from room 31S In safety. A number of other guests were partially overcome by the smoke, but soon revived. P. W. Edgett, a salesmsn of Syracuse, N. Y., was one of the calmest men at the fire. Although he weighs around the 300-pound mark, after helping th wit and daughter of a brother Elk to escape, he went back Into the smoke, got his grips, and In a very dignified manner descended the fir escape. He' admit having had soma trouble In rounding the corner. "I hav been In several hotel fires," said Edgett, "but the police and fire protection in this case wss the best ever." Work at repairing the damage will be begun Immediately. Monday morning sev eral rooms were pressed Into service as temporary dining rooms and breakfast was served as usual. ''First estimates on the damage wer placed too high. It is now thought that it will not exceed $6,000. , t.oldle Had Premonition. W. S. Goldle, editor ot the Wayn Demo crat, had a premonition that the hotel would burn and lay awake until 3:30 o'clock, when he heard the girl scream In tl kitchen.'

I asked my doctor to prescribe fur me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails and ringers were well. The Inflammatwn snd suppuration began at the bate of t lie hnger nail. Sometimes It was so painful that 1 had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of Inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterward. these ftequent Inllani- matton resulted in the loss of the nail. I hsd sometimes as many as three lingers la tins state at one time. "Perhaps ten years later, I began again -to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a pre scription from a doctor of a friend of mine, who had suffered Irom a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhst for a time, but It was not a permanent cure, next tried a pre scription from my own doctor, but this was so Irritating to the sensitive, dbeasea skin e, esa that I could not tit it. I began to use Cutl- rura soap and Ointment. 1 had used tne Cuticura Ointment previously on my chil dren's scalp with good eftect. I did not use the Sosp exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuti cura Ointment Into the base of the nail eery night thoroughly, and as often beside as 1 could. 1 had not used it but a lew weeks before my nails were better, and In a short time they were apparently well. There wss no more suppuration, nor inflammation, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuti cura Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. 1. J. H or ton, Ka to nth, N.
