Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.-Mr. Brayan
yesterday gave out the following state
ment:
"To the Associated Press: The re-
turns are so incomplete that it is i'm
possible to discuss yesterdays election
in detail. The republicans everywhere
endored the republican administration
and in view of losses sustained by them
in almost every state, it would seem
that republican politics ale not being
endorsed at the polls. The sentiment
in favor of the Chicago platform shows
a healthy growth throughout the coun-
try. Perhaps our opponents will not
admit that silver is not dead. The at
tempt to secure international bimet-
allism has proved failure and it is
now more apparent than ever that the
people of the United States must legis-
late for themselves on the financial
question. Free and unlimited coinage
at 16 to 1 is nearer now than it was a
year ago. High tariff upon gold basis
has disappointed those republicans who
looked to it for relief. Taken as a
whole the returns are very encourag-
ing, | think. voice the sentiments OF
the democrats, populist and silver re-
publicans when l say that the fight

estness until the gold monopoly is
broken and the money trust is over

probably their actual majority"

known. Not only should the outside
of the bsdy be perfectly clean, but the
interior of the body as we'll. Clean
teeth, clean mouth, clean throat clean
nasal passages, are all requisites Of
perfect health. The whole body, as
we'll as every organ in the body, is lined
with mucous membrane, which is even
more liable than the skin to become
very dirty. The most frequent cause
of unclean mucous membrane is catarrh.
Catarrh creates unnatural secretions,
even though the catarrh be very slight.
In this condition good health is impos-
sible.
DIR. Hartman has made a speciality of
treating chronic catarrh for nearly 40
years. His great remedy (Pe-ru-na)
has become known throughout the Uni
ted States and Canada. 1t is certainly
the best, and probably the only effec-
tive Internationally for chronic catarrh.
Its cures are permanent. The doctor
is also the author Of many books on
chronic catarrh. His latest book on
the subject will be sent free for short

which he is protesting to watch. The
law requires a full stop, not only for
the sake of the time and opportunity
for observation, but TO secure undivid-
ed attention, and the substantial and
not merely perfunctory performance
of the duty to look and listen. Riding
round and round in large or small
circles, waiting for chance to shoot
across, is not stop at all, either in
form or substance. Considering the
case of dismounting, and the control of
the rider over his instrument, a bicy-
cler must under all ordinary cireum-
stances be treated as subject TO the
same rules as q pedestrian. We do not
say that there may not be cases of &C
cidents by broken gearing or steep
grade, or other casualty which will
require a modification of the applica-
tion OF such rule, but these cases will
be exceptional and must be decided on
their own. facts when they arise The
general rule TO be applied requires that
p bicycler must dismount, or, at least,
brings his wheel to such a stop as will
enable him to look up and down the
track and listen in the manner of a
pedestrian. It is plain that the de-
ceased in the present case did not do
this, and that his failure to do it was in
effect the unfortunate accident by
which he lost his life. Philadelphia

OF PIGEON FLIGHT.

BELIEVING that the current estimates
of the velocity of flights of pigeons
were not accurate, c. B. Keene has
been making new measurements of It.
He found that, while some birds could
maintain speed Of about 1.17o yards
a minute. the speed of the majority,
OF rs per cent. of those observed, was
between $50 and 1.1T0 yards minute.
The highest speed observed by him of
young pigeons was about 1868 yards a
minute. Felix Rodenback. who has
also made careful observations, be-
lieves. in the possibility of pigeons fly
ing - miles an hour. Observation
shows that they fly preceptibly faster
than the best express trains. Their
speed, in Mr.. Rodenback's view, Is
even much greater tnan it appears, for
they can not fly in straight line as
the express train runs, but are obliged
to make zigzags and detours, as they
meet or are turned by varying cur
rents in the air.

MAX MULLER STUDIES SUICIDE

DR.. Max Muller, professor Of compa-
rative religion at Oxford. has been
cropping among the statistics on the
subject of suicide and he finds first.
that there is no ordinance in the Bible
prohibiting suicide, and that Protes-
tants. who rest their religious life more
on the Scriptures than Catholics do,
are far more prone to self-murder than
are the followers of Rome.
DR.. Muller thinks, moreover, that
brandy is more TO blame than any
other liquor. In four fairly recent
years he finds that the average con-
sumption OF this spirit a head in IL
German provinces rose % per cent
Apparently, also, the number of sui
cides rose.
Covering the whole of Germany, he
says that the number OF chronicle al
coholies in German asylums rose from
5,0S5 in 1887 to 1874 in 1895.
In 20 years the number of "drunks
and disorderlies" dealt with in British
police courts nearly trebled. In re-
gard to the drink theory, moreover, it
has to be remembered that alcohol
ism is often only the ultimate out
come of poverty, slums and brain
worry. Those really are the seeds of
suicide, he finds
