Deaf :.
From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more discouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or a great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is In the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped reme-
dies of potash and mercury, to euro
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring it's
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, ETC., is but n SUI
perficial and temporary treatne mt,
and cannot possibly effect a cure.

Sunday CIosinr Aritntcd.

The saloon keepers are considerably inter
ested in the probable action of the council
in the natter of closing the saloons on Sun
day. Now that the matter of raising the
license to 81 900 is virtually settled, the
Sunday closing resolution is uppermnst in
the minds of those interested in dispensing
liquors A great many people are ot
opinion that Sunday closing would be good
thing and a number of counuilmen have been
urged to vote for the resolution when IL
comes up If the closing was going to cost
the city an additional expense for policemen
number of councilmen would not Ote for
it, but it is thought that no increase in the
police force will be necessary if liquor deal
ers are given t0 understand that the council
means business and will prosecute all who
violate the law. 1t is understood that Cald-
well will insist upon bringing UP the resolu-
ton at TueslaY nights maetinS.

While cleaning a vault in the rear of the
row of brick fats at the west end OF the l.
street viaduct yesterday, Garbage Master
Deuagh found a sack which contained fifty
watches and a number of German and Eng
lish coins. Lenagh took some of the watches
to jeweier, who declared that they had baen
in the vault at least two years, and most
likely longer. The watches are all of cheap
manufacture most of them being in silver
cases. two, however, are gold-plated cases.
The vault has not been cleaned since 1894.
The local police are unable to throw any
light on the find, but possibly some clew to
the robbery may come about through the
foreign coins found in thu sack. Garbage
Master Lenagh still has possession of the
watches and coins

The Woodmen OF the World and the dissat-
ished element in Alpha camp seem to
have completely split and each is not pre-
pared to pursue its own unruffled way. Each
says It has no Intention OF interfering with
the work Of the other in any way, but there
is prospect that a fight will continue to be
waged by the two bodies The woodmen are
Intending to strengthen their position in
local fields. The new knights of the Forest
have set out to gain a substantial foothold
In the city and vicinity. In these aims the
two bodies may conflict
There was a somewhat unusual attendance
at the Alpha camp meeting on last Thursday
night, as II was reported that the body
would consider the question OF seeding IN
a body. The hackers OF the new order say
that they had no intention Of forcing this
question. They assert that they do not want
60 pursuade any one to leave the Woodmen
OF the World except by the merits OF the
order they are pushing The sovereign off,
cerB of the Woodmen, however. apparently
believed that some attempt would be made
TO ask the camp to sece1e and they came
prepared for the fray. Among other things
they sprung a report OF an investigating
committee from Kansas City camps which
spent several weeks in going over the entire
records Of the sovereign officers. This re-
port was very complimentary to the sover-
egn body. 1t was published several daye
ago.
The meeting. however, was quite a har-
monlous one Consul Commander Thompson
and Adviser Lieutenant Lucas, two of the
chief pushcrs of the order, resigned
because OF the part they are taking in the
new organization. Resolutions OF indorse-
ment, confidence and commentator we're
passed By the camp for the services the men
had rendered the camp In the past. w. Y.

Within the next two weeks the membership
OF the order in this state will be l'ooo' ana
possibly a little more. This will be the re-
suit of the gis antic hustle for membership
that has been made by the members during
the past six weeks In that length OF time
they have taken in 250 candidates, ana VIII
initiate at least fifty more.
Tho purpose of this campaign has beeh 10
secure tie 1000 members that Nebraska
must have before 1t can secure state grano
council Moreover, In order to get th,s
grand council this year this big membership
had to be obtained before the meeting OF the
supreme council, which convenes in Boston
on May 49, 1t is now a settled fact that
the necessary membership will be secured in
time The Nebraska delegation Will conse.
Guently come back from the supreme council
meeting with authority to form a grand
council
Every lodge in the state has assisted in
the work of gaining new members, nut the
Omaha and South Omaha lodges have been
especially vigorous. AS a result their mem
bership rolls have been nightly augmented
The campaign will also result in the forma-
tion of a new subordinate council The
state is yet a few members shy OF the re-
quired 1000 AS the needed candidates can
no longer be taken into existing councils
and turned into full fedged members before
the supreme council meeting, they will be
admitted into the new body. The charter
will be kept open to the last minute.
AS soon as the authority is given by the
supreme council steps will be taken at
once to organize and institute the state
grand council. This body will have limited
legislative and other powers, like the grand
lodge of other secret society bodies. In the
past the Nebraska members have been gov
erned entirely by the supreme council and
officers. The organization and the first
meeting of the state body will be held in this
