What will do il ?

Medical writer's claim that the successful
remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritat-
ing, easy Of application, and one that will
reach the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy has COM
pletely met these conditions, and that is Ely s
Cream Balm. This same and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ev,r
done, and both physicians and patients freely
concedc this fact Our druggists keep it.

Ninth iowa District
COUNCIL BLUFFS. May 2S.-As the
story goes. Gen. James B. Weaver IS
to remove from Des Moines to Council
Bluffs in few days, and the main object
of the change of residence Is to become

district, in order that he may be placed
in position to accept nomination on
the congressional ticket, which he has
been assured will be rendered him by
tie Populists at their convention, which
is to be held at an early date.
The Populists held convention at At
lantic recently and petition was put IN
circulation which has thus far covered
five of the nine counties of the district.
congress-, and is signed by almost every
Populist in the five counties, besides
many others.
A dispatch from Des Moines in regard
to the proposition says Gen. James B.
Weaver said today:
81 was informed by a letter received
today that the members of labor organ
izations and many farmers belonging to
various farm organizations would attend
the convention to be held at Atlantic on
the Goth inst and present a petition to
nominate me for congress in that dis
trict The letter states that the petition
is very numerously signed, and comes
from every part of the district. / shall
await developments and determine my
course when l am fully in possession of
the facts. l can not be present at the
convention, i have an engagement
els ewhere at that time"
''In case you make the race, do you
expect to remove to the Ninth district"
"Of course that would be the proper
thing to do, and 1 should take that
course, but that will be considered
further on"

1T COSTS MUCH
To Employ Help For the Attorney
General.


General.
Judge III. B. Nicholson of Council
Grove, has drawn 1925 from the state
treasury for assisting the attorney gene
raj OF this sum $500 was paid him for
assisting in the prosecution of the M. x.
q t. case, and $25 for drawing up COM
plants in the cases against the Green's
burg bank officials. The money was
drawn from the governors contingent
fund.
This makes the office of attorney gen
eral rather costly one to the tax payers.
The attorney general receives $500 and
his assistant 5 900 to attend to the legal
interests of the state and aside from this
there is a chief clerk who is a lawyer
and who draws 81 200.
Judge Nicholson was employed by the
governor as an assistant to General Little
In the case to compel the NJ. K 81 t to
establish headquarters in Kansas and
the suit has been compromised without a
trial Still his fee is $500.
The assistant attorney general. Geo.
w. Clark, is one of the best lawyers in
the state and still outside talent had to
be employed to represent the state in a
case which never came to trial. This
action Is hardly consistent with Popu-
listic ideas of economy.

DISREGARDED ADVICE
Given Him BY His Lawyer and Now He's
N Trouble.

I'm Trouble.
Fe employee, who had his arm cut off
and was almost killed in a wreck near
Emporia few months ago is in serious
trouble.
After Johnston was hurt the Santa Fe
settled with him by paying him $4,000.
About that time his wife, Eva j. john
ston, sued him for divorce and alimony.
Johnston went to see Joe Waters and
asked his advice and Waters told him to
leave the state and stay away as he had
all his money in his pocket and did not
object to his wife having a divorce pro-
viding she did not get his cash.
Johnston went away and his wife did
not get divorce but she got judgment
against him for $4,000 alimony.
Johnston did not come back to TOpe-
ka, but was located in Kansas City and
Judge Hazen issued warrant for his
arrest for contempt of court for failing
to pay over the alimony.
Sheriff Burdge yesterday went to Kan
sas City and arrested Jahnston, who at
once blamed all his misfortune
on Lawyer Waters He told the
sheriff he had given Waters a check for
$50 for looking after his case. He was
given all the sympathy in stock, and
Captain Waters today succeeded in get
ting him out of Jail on bond. Mr.. Wat
ers says he is a drunken scamp, and
that if he had followed his advice and
stayed out of the state, he would not
have had any trouble.

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
Disclosures Substantially the Same in
First Investigation.

O1ScAOSureS SuDsbant the same as In
First Investigation.
WASHINGTON. May 28.-Captain Samp-
son, chief of the ordnance bureau navy
department, today resumed his state
ments of the house committee investi-
eating armor plate frauds. Captain
Sampson detailed the charges made by
Mr.. Wallace. a Pittsburg lawyer, repre-
senting a half dozen employees of the
Carnegie works
Secretary Herbert, Captain Sampson
said, had designated board with witness
at the head. They had gone to Home
stead and had found charges and the ev-
idence substantially similar to that at
the first investigation. The final report
of the board was not yet completed but
in substance it would disclose little that
was new.
Mr.. Buck testified to a practice in the
works of so fixing specimens as to give
the government a false record of the
tests.
He testified that the falsi6cations con-
tinued until January 1, last.
Another employe testified that the prac
tice had always existed. Other work
men swore that the practice had con-
tinued until orders were given to discOn-
tinue it. In response to a question by
Representative Money, Capt. Sampson
said Mr.. Prick had given the order.

A POINTER FOR PARTIES

Presbyterians Say the Party Not Disap-
proving Saloons Doesn't Deserve Chris
tian Votes.
SARATOGA, n. Y, May 2S.-At the open
ing of the morning session of the gen
eraI assembly today it announced
that the sessions might be completed to-
day if business was crowded and speech
making omitted.
1t was resolved that according to Pres
byterian law the various presbyteries
have the right to prohibit the attendance
of students under their care upon theo-
logical seminaries disapproved by the
general assembly.
The committee on temperance, report
ed recommending among other things
that the assembly endorse the view that
no party which maintains or favors the
license system, or which does not place
specific disapproval of the saloon upon
its platform should not receive the suf-
frages of the Christian men.
After much confusion and a fire OF
motions, amendments and points of or
der, the recommendation was adopted.

SAYS THE ROADS BOOMING
A Big Freight Contract Made by the
Gulf and Interstate Railroad.

Col. F. j. Close, secretary of the board
of directors of the Gulf and Interstate
railroads, has ed from Texas where
he has spent two weeks in the interest of
the prospective road.
He said today: "We made a freight
contract with the government contractors
to haul the rock used for jetties at Gal
weston to be taken from Jasper county, a
distance of 100 miles. This contract is
for three years and not less than 90 car
loads day.
1--WE have 20 miles graded and have
let the contract for rails for 800 miles of
road to the Cambria Steel and Iron COM
pany of Pennsylvania.
1--WE expect to reach the Southern Pa
cific a distance of so miles, in four
months and have trains running. We
will push the road northward fast as
we can"
Mr.. Close then changed the subject
long enough to say that the Populists
would carry Texas this fall.

TweIve-POund Girl Born to the Sou
brette in New York.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-There was a
bouncing underground girl baby ush-
cred into the world yesterday at the Gill
sey house. This was not the first birth
in the history of the hostelry, but the
advent of this particular infant is of in
terest because her mother is Mrs. George
w. Purdy, otherwise Fannie Rice, the
erstwhile soubrette of the Casino.
Seven years ago Fannie Rice, in the
black tights and tulle ballet skirts of
''Nadjy," sang of the cares and trials
that come "when a mans married" while
her newly wed husband, DIR. Purdy, sat
in front and chuckled gleefully over her
musical description of a father walking
the floor all night with a crying baby.
Now the doctor is getting in training to
sympathize with the man of the song.

application was made on the ground that
the name of Justice Grover who is blind
