THEY'VE BEEN SCARED OFF.
Reports Of Snow BlOckades I'm Nebraska
Have Injured Passenger TRAFFIC.

Omaha, Feb. 5.-Transcontinenta
railroads operating through Nebraska
are much exercised over reports cir
culated in the east yesterday concern
ing the suspension of traffic in the state
and further west as a result OF the
great snow blockade. The reports ar
utterly groundless. The fall of snow IN
Nebraska and on the mountain diviS-
ions of the Burlington and Union Pa
cific within the past week has been light
not so heavy in fact as the roads de-
sired in view of the fact that a snow
blockade might be regarded as bless
ing since it would mean moisture for
the crops in a section Of the state in
which drouth conditions more or less
prevail A light snow fall yesterday
covered the greater portion of the state
and continued during the night but the
railroad traffic was in no way affected.
The numerous reports of great storms
recently in this section of the country
the tranScontinental lines operating
through Nebraska think, have caused
much traffic to be diverted to other
routes through fear of passengers be-
ing blockaded in Nebraska snow banks.
Local railroad people are puzzled 10
know the source of the incarnate re-
ports that have recently so preJudiced
the east against this section Of their
territory A number of officers are dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of appointing
a committee to investigate this feature
OF the case.

Better Even Than Rest and
Change for the Weary.

The more infinitely all kinds of work
become subdivided. the more sameness
and monotony creep into each mans
labor.
Day after day, day after day. in the
same rut till little interest remains In
the work. and the mind and body are
gradually robbed Of energy and healthy
elasticity. Unless something is done
the prolonged strain is likely to result
in health failure: nervous symptoms ap-
pear, cares that were once lightly cast
off now stick like burs, slight physical
eXertion tires, and the end is complete
prostration and breaking down of some
vital organ.
Business men feel this. public Off
Gals. wage-earners. housekeepers. ev-

At the first small beginnings of nerv-
BUSINESS or when languid feelings do
not disappear after a sound nights
sleep, the prudent person should know
that he or she must check this decline
in health by the use of that one genuine
nerve food and blood remover, Paine's
celery compound.
The family physician knows its power
over diseases of exhaustion and debil-
ity when he orders il, as so many care
full practitioners are now doing in every
city and small town throughout the
United States.
AS soon as one has fairly begun to
use Paine's celery compound. every day
will be firm step toward assured
health. Nervous, unhappy, and feeble
persons find their flesh becomes more
solid, more healthy color takes the
place of the waxy. sallow look, and
there comes q clear increase in the
volume Of the blood and an increased
normal appetite because Of this rapid
feeding Of the entire system. Work
becomes easier.
This searching tonic goes at once to
the very cause of nervous disaster and
breakdown. 1t is invaluable in all
wasting diseases, in all cases where I'M
usual demands are made on the system
is it true in the case of
mothers and invalids recovering from
sickness.
Paine's celery compound has saved
from mournful years of fee
bleness, from the WEAKNESS of pain and
from bodily weakness. 1t means health
and happiness.

This lavish system of communication

the coach ran between London and
Edinburgh once month only, taking
fortnight, if the weather was favorab Bile,

In the days of stage coaches. people
sometimes dubbed together and hired
q post chaise for their journey, as being
quicker and less expensive, and Scot

advertisements TO the effect that per-
son about to proceed to London would
be glad to hear of fellow ''adventurer"
or two bent on the same journey, to
share the expense.
In 1854 heroic effort was made to
improve the London and Edinburgh

THE HOUSE RAT.
Row to Keep the Obnoxious Rodent Out
of the Cellar.

OF the Cellar.
The common rat is vexation and a
distress to many housekeepers who do
not know how to get rid OF it. There
are two kinds-the brown rat, which
inhabits the great wharves of the city
and sometimes gets into city houses,
and the black rat. Like all the differ
ent species of rodents, these rats have
the greatest aversion to each other.
The wharf rat. which is the larger and
more ferocious, drives the black rat
away from its quarters, and is even
said to kill and eat it. The black rat IS
also said TO drive away the mouse
The black rat, which is the one the
housewife has most generally 10 deal
with, is most foul and repellent crea.
ture. living on carrion and various foul
garbage Therefore. one of the first
precautions against this rat is absolute
neatness about the house and cellar.

A waiting maid should not make her
appearance in the dining room until
after the guests are seated.
Napkins should always be folded as
simply as possible. Fanciful shapes
suggest the hotel and restaurant.
Always place tumblers to the right,

San Francisco, Feb. 5-United States
District Attorney Knight has received

in refusing 70 issue a warrant for the
arrest of c. P. Huntington, president

charge of issuing an interstate pass
to Frank Stone, a politician and at
torney. Olney says that the COM
plant of T. J. Roberts, an American
Railway union striker who applied for
the warrant, is defective in that it did
not state that the charge was made on
or belief. Olney advises
Knight to lay the entire matter before
the federal grand jury. This will be
done at once and knight says if the
grand jury indicts Huntington a war
rant for the arrest of the railroad
president will be issued at once.
