PARIS, Dec. 5.-The military gov

dered court martial to examine into
the charges brought against Count
Esterhazy, the retired major of the
French army who is accused of writing
the letter which brought about the SEN
fencing of Alfred Dreyfus to imprison-
ment for life. The Journal says that
the decision of General Saussieris based
Oh the report of General Pelleiux, who
was appointed by the minister of war
to examine into the charges brought
against Count Esterhazy, and which
was as follows: $50 far as Dreyfus is
concerned, the case has been tried, no
new facts have been brought to light
and no new documents submitted to
justify Il revision of the trial. In con
sequence, there is no ground for pro-
ceeding against Count Esterhazy so far
as regards the crime of high treason,
for which Alfred Dreyfus was con-
demneA"

SUCCESS.

DR.. Hathaway & Co.'s successes have become
household word. Why? The answer is simple.
They are men with the courage of their convic-
tons. 0riginators. not imtators. Their methods,
like themselves. are in harmony with the people
and the times. New and up to date. Among the
legions of miscalled experts and legitimate
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
the front rank of respectable professionalism as
acknowledged originators of the new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans.
parent platform of purchased testimony, but on
q long list Of cured patients, visible local wit.
nesses Of their skill. AS physicians of business
and social status in the community they pledge
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
by the Hathaway method" unabridged, and at
prices within the reach Of all.
They are regular graduates in medicine from
some Of the best medical colleges in the world,
and hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards Of Health. They conduct their business
on strictly professional basis, promising MOTH
ing but what they can fulfill, and do not adopt
the many fake and fraudulent methods that many
doctors and so-called specialists in offering free
prescriptions, cheap medicines and G. o. D. fakes
in order to obtain few dollars from their unfor-
tunate victims.

Nebraska Leads In Live Stock Feeding.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The Corn Belt, a
publication issued by the passenger de-
partment of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad, as representative
of the agricultural interests of the
northwest, claims that the state of Ne
braska now leads all others in the live
stock feeding industry. 1t estimates
the percentage of cattle now in the
feed yards of that state, as compared
with last year, at 1877 per cent, against
SO per cent in Kansas, so per cent i'll
Missouri, n i'll Iowa, go in Illinois, SO
in Indiana, "a in South Dakota, 43 in
Wisconsin and 40 in Minnesota. Dur
ing the packing season of eight months
closing on Nov. l the four packing
houses at South Omaha handled ,O32,-
$50 hogs, against 746,427 during the
corresponding season in 1896.
One of the leading packers declares
that ''more fine cattle and hogs will be
sent out of Nebraska to the Chicago
and Omaha markets next year than the
cattle men of the west ever dreamed
of )" also that 100000 sheep, or 3,OOO,-
900 above the average, are now being
fed in Nebraska This is one of the
results Of the large crops of hay and
corn in the state for the year 1897; the
aggregate of the latter being estimated
at nearly 230,O00,0O0 bushels. The
winter wheat crop sown in the state
last fall is estimated at rs per cent
greater than that of the previous year.
