providing for replacing the- water plant
f'f the Teru Normal, destroyed by fire
recently. It Is estimated ft fireproof
building for tho pumping plant will coat
between $2,500 and $3,000 and the execu
tive committee of the board waa em
powered to advertise for blda and let the
contract. Dlds for a pumping engine

gasoline engine to lU for a
thirty-horsepower coal oil engine. The
lotting of this contract Also vs left to
the executive commlttoc.
The athletic board of tho Peru Normal

ury, against a deficit of $200 lat year,
which had been paid out current re
ceipts and some cash funds which the
board had granted permission to use
for this purpose.
Different la Coal Welghta.
The Peru Normal also reported some
differences in weights of coal between
the school authorities and the White
breast Coal company, the contractor. On
thirteen carloads there was a shortage
of twenty-six ton from billed weight,
which neither the railroad nr the coaJ
company was willing to stand, one as
serting ho weights were correct as
billed and the other denying any re
sponsibility. The board decided It would
make the coal company a proposition to
split tho difference and pay for thirteen
tone, the Company to lose thirteen. The
offer was based on the fact that there
was some question about the accuracy of
the scales at Peru, where a portion of
the coal was received and weighed.

Presidential Primary Uallot.
The attorney general has given an
opinion In response to a query from the
secretary of stale, regarding the mini
mum of names required on a petition to
plaj-e tlie names of a candidate for presi
dent and vies president &n the preferen
tial primary ballot. After quoting sec
tion 1-B, chapter 40, of the session laws
of 1911, the attorney general says:
The latter part of this Section is meant
to ;id e: z. the filing of petitions for can
tildutes . ..r president and vice president
of tlie Lulled lU. The manning of
this section is not very plainly expressed.
However, I think the legislature Intended
Nebraska
that such petitions should be slfmed by
lis sumo number of electors as petitions
frr the nomination frr governor, and
when so signed are entitled to be filed
with the secretary of state.
Section &;, chapter 4. session laws of
iSll. requires that the name of no candi
date shall be printed upon the official
primary ballot unless at least thirty days
prior to such primary, either he or twenty-five
qualified electors of the party
wlth-which stwh a candidate affiliates,
shall have filed a written applloatlon with
the proper authority. This Is the pro
vision of law which relates te the nomina
tion of srovernor ef the state ant other
state) officers. Hence, I conclude thixt a
petition signed by twentv-ftve qualified
electors of the party with which the pro
posed candidate affiliates, and filed In
the office of the secretary (f rtate In
pla rilKthe name ef such a candidate
upon the primary ballot for the office of
president or vice president of the United
States.
Taft Men Satisfied
With Lincoln Meeting
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Mm'. 20. (Special.)
Those Interested In the candidacy of
President Taft, after taking a survey of
the meeting yesterdny afternoon, are sat
isfied with tho results accomplished. The
intention of Its projectors was to place
the organization of the Taft forces In the
stare on a working basis and this was
thoroughly accomplished. The central or
ganisation Is now constituted In such a
manner that It can be spread Into every
counjy and voting precinct In the state
with a directing force behind It, all of
which insures concerted effort.
The men In charge are thoroughly In
touch with men and conditions In the
state, and upon them will devolve the
work. Just who will succeed K. M.
Pollard ns secretary lias not been decided.
Mr. Pollard left for his home In Ne
hawka today, reaffirming his assertion
that, while he was Just as much In sym
pathy with the movement ns ever and
Just as willing to help, his private affairs
forbade him devoting the time necessary
to perform the duties of the office.
Talk today, where 'politicians gather,
Indicated that the La Follette men have
misjudged the temper of many who are
not only generally looked upon as pro
gressives, but who declare themselves as
such. The organisation of a movement
to further the renomlnatlon of Mr. Taft
baa developed that a large percentage of
this class are for Taft, declaring that the
president 1s a ' good enough progressive
for them.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELER
GAVE UPJS POSITION
Remarkable Statement Made Re
cently by C. J. Simpson.
HE HAD BEEN ILL FOR A YEAR
Tells flow Sew Tonic Which Is
Uelna; Introduced Here Krwaaht
lllm Hetlef from the
Very Start. v
One of the most Interesting statements
yet made In connection with the Intro
duction of the remarkable new tonlo,
"Tons Vita," Is that which was given
recently by C. J. Simpson, a well tknown
traveling salesman for the Prince Albert
Tobacco company, residing at No. 2201
Pouglas St., city.
Mr. Simpson said: "For the past year
my health has steadily failed until I was
forced to relinquish my position. I was
a nervous wreck, and in recent months
I have had a complete breakdown. The
slightest noise excited me. 1 could nol
sleep at night, but would toss from pillow
to pillow for hours. I was always
haunted with a fear that a great calam
ity was about to happen. In fact, I was
generally a miserable man.
"I heard about the new medicine. 'Toni
Vita,' which Is belnj: Introduced here. I
sent for a bottle- of this remedy. I began
to Improve from the start. I have taken
a full treatment of 'Tona Vita' and nm
now a well man. and give entire credit
to this rentarkable preparation."
People who are nervous and Irritable
have Imperfect digestion and stomach dls
order, lack energy and ambition, feel
melancholy, and discouraged, suffer with
headaches, backaches, poor memory, tin
sound sleep, poor circulation, sallow com
plexlons, and who are susceptible ti;
coughs and colds, are unquestionably suf
fering with that modern plague nervous
debility, say the specialists who are In
troducing "Tona Vita."
"There are thousands of such half-sick
men and women In this country, who
feally do not know Just what Is the trou
ble with them," said one of these spe
cialists. "They struggle aimlessly along until
they become totally debilitated, and often
times they come to us suffering with this
dreadful condition In its most aggravated
form."
"We have a preparation that will posi
tively remove this trouble and restore the
organs of the body to their healthy, nor
mal condition. This remedy Is called
Tona Vita.'
"The public does not realize tlie symp
toms of this modern malady, and It woulc'
be well for as many as can to visit Bran
dtls Drug Dept., 16th and Douglas Sts.,
South Side Main Floor, between the hour,
of 9 a, m. and 6 p. m. this week and hav
us explain them, as well as the nature o
our remedy. I am certain that half -of
the headaches In Omaha can be attrlu
uted solely to nervous debility, and 1 an;
equally certain we have found a perma
nent source of benefit snd relief." Adv.
