Rheumatism
Remarkabl Horn Cur Given by One
Who Had It He Want Every
Sufferer to Benefit.
Send No Money Juat Your Addres.
Year' of awful suffering and misery
have taught this man, Mark H. Jackson,
of Syracuse, New York, how terrible an
enemy to human happiness rheumatism is,
and have given him sympathy with all un
fortunates 'ho ate within its grasp. He
wants every rheumatic victim to know
how h was cured. Read what he says :
"I Had Sharp Pafau Lilce Ughtub Flash
, Shooting Through My Joists."
In-th spring of 1S9S I wa attacked
by JBuscular and Inflammatory Rheuma
tism. I suffered as only those who have
it know, for over three years. I tried
remedy after remedy, and doctor after doe.
tor. but such relief a I received was
only temporary. Finally, I found a rem
edy that eured me completely, and it has
never returned. I hve given it to a
number . who were terribly afflicted and
v evea bedridden with Rheumatism, and it
effected a cure in every ease.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous
healing power. Don't send a cent; simply
All out the coupon below and I will send'
it free to try. After you have used it
and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for
means of curing your Rheuma
tism, you may send the price of t, one
dollar, but, understand, I do not want your
money unless you are perfectly satisfied
to send it. Isn't that fairt Why suffer
any longer when positive relief is thus
offered you free? Don't delay. Write to

days working up data and other ma
terial and it is said has already
opened an office down town which
will be headquarters where efforts
to discredit the work of the legisla
ture will be carried out.
Alive to Situation.
The democrats are said to be fully
alive to the situation and know that
if the people can be hoodwinked into
signing a petition calling for a refer
endum on many of the acts of the
legislature before those acts are giv
en a chance for trial by the people
themselves there will be a chance for
perhaps a look-in when the next
election comes around.
They are advocating with loud
acclaim, that the people should be
considered in the matter, yet they
are afraid to give the people a
chance to try the laws.
Under the law, if sufficient names
are secured to petitions on' any law
passed by the legislature, that law
is hung up and cannot be put in op
eration until after the people have
voted upon the referendum of the
lsiw
Thus acts of the legislature may
be made inooerative before a chance
- . .
is given to try out the merits ot the
same and the work of 13J men in a
session lasting three -months or
more is discredited.

WOMEN TO LOSE
VOTES IF CODE
LAW JS KILLED
Attack of Men Who Have For
merly Been, Considered Fa
orable to Equal Suffrage
Causes Much Comment.
Lincoln, April 30. Just, after a
republican legislature has recog
nized the rights of the women to
take part in party organization and
have an equal part with the man in
controlling the affairs of a county
committee, certain republicans un
der the leadership of Charles W.
Bryan, twice a democratic candidate
for governor, should take such ac
tion as would deprive the women ot
a chance to participate in party or
ganization, is causing" great deal
of comment.
It had generally been understood
that the Bryan wing of the demo
cratic party was favorable to woman
suffrage, or at least they have, been
advertising themselves as such, but
it was due to the efforts of Mr. Bry
an, aided by some of his fellow dem
ocrats and S few republicans that at
the meeting yesterday called for the
purpose of invoking the referendum
on the new primary law, action was
taken which includes in the referen
dum on the bill that section of the
new law giving women representa
tion in party organizations.
Antis Gain.
The meeting appeared at first to
be about equally divided between
the anti-woman advocates led by
Mr. Bryan and the friends pf the
suffrage 'section led by C. A. Soren
son. However, before the meeting
was over the advocates of disfran
chising the women in the matter of
party organization were joined by
Sen. C. P. Peterson, Charlie Ran
dall of Newman Grove, N. P. Dodge
of Omaha and one or two others.
The opponents of the plans were,
besides Mr. Sorenson, A. E. Shelton
and R. B. Howell of Omaha. These
wanted the referendum invoked only
on that part of thtv bill relating to
the convention for nominating state
officers below governor, leaving in
the section relating to allowing
the women to have a part in party
organization.
However, the referendum will be
invoked on the entire bill. ' v
Committees were appointed to
take the initiative in the work of the
campaign, the' democrats being rep
resented by C. W. Bfyan and Jacob
North, the republicans by N. P.
Dodge and J. F. Cordeal, .the union
labor forces by Harry G. Piatt and
F. M. Coffey, the Farmers' union
by C. H. Gustafson and J. O. Shro
yer, the woman's organization by
Mrs. Frank Harrison and Mrs. C. E.
Babcock and the Farmers' Co-operative
associations by R. F. Walton
and A. E. Webber. '
Mr. Johnson, state manager of the
non-partisan league, was present at
the meeting, but somehow his or
ganization was not recognized in the
make-up of the committees.
Wilson Named on Committee.
Lincoln, April 30. Railway Com
missioner Victor E. Wilson has re
turned from Washington, where h
was looking after rate matters in
cases before the Interstate Com
merce commission. Mr. Wilson
while there was appointed chairman
of the committee on state and fed
eral legislation.
