BRYAN'S PAPER.

The Editor Again Restored to Health.
George w. Hervey, editor of the
Weekly Omaha World-Herald, is q
perfect picture of health, and looks
more like the Hervey Of other days.
To see him now, one can hardly be-
lieve that he has been such q
great sufferer. He writes of his
failing health and recovery, in his
Characteristic way IS follows:
"FoR-several years was troubled
with indigestion 80 severe as 10

two meals day without intense suf-
fering. I grew worse gradually un-
til July. 1895, I was suddenly at
tackled with increased pain and sore
ness over the pit Of my stomach and
sharp pains In my right side. which
rapidly increased until I could
scarcely get my breath. A physician
was called for immediate relief and
hypodermio injections of NOR
phine were resorted to for re-
lief. I was able to be out in
about . week, but had a second
attack the following August. more
intense than before. ! was reduced
frop 1876 to 1874 pounds in nine days
and left wholly unable to take any
nourishment. I lived on lime water
aud very little milk for several
days after. For one year l carried
morphine pellets in my pockets for
an emergency. All this time my
stomach was sore and very sensitive.
l discovered that what would agree
with my stomach this week would
probably not next week, and that
was getting nearer and nearer to o
final collapse. I consulted three Of
the best physicians in the state and
two agreed fully as to my ailment,
but failed to give me relief. Having
utterly failed to obtain relief, |
finally made arrangements to 90 to
Chicago to be treated, when my little
boy CHANGED to get sample package
OF Dr. Rays Renovation, which
he brought to me. was iu-
duced to try it. not having the
least faith in its virtues. I
thought the sample relieved me and
I purchased rs cent box. Before
It was all used l had 90 improved

which I had not done for years. 1

DR.. Rays Renovator and one more

TRIED TO KILL A. H. SMITH.
F. A. Parks Charges Him With Seduc-
ing His Wife.


F. A. Park, who claims this city as his
home, made an unsuccessful attempt to kill
THURMAN A H. Smith at Newport, KY,
Monday night.
Park arrived from Windsor, Canada, sew
erai days ago, and about o'clock last
night found his wife in company with
Smith at the Newport race track. He ac-
cused Smith of enticing away his wife, and
drawing a revolver, which he held close to
the latter's face, snapped it three times
None of the cartridges was exploded. Of
fioer Cottingham separated the men and
Smith escaped.
Park swore out a warrant for Smiths
arrest, charging him with adultery. A
constable was sent cut to make the arrest
and traced Smith to tavern conducted by
Robert Cleary. Here the keeper refused
him entrance to the house unless he had a
search warrant, and the constable was
forced to leave empty-handed.
Park threatens to kill Smith, who has
wife and family in Terrell, Texas Park
was married in Colorado two years ago,
and they have been making their home in
this city. At the close of the races at
Windsor. Canada, he came to the New
port track with his wife. Park also has a
number of fine horses at the latter track
Smith says he was not aware that Mrs
Park was married until Saturday night,
when she told him who she was.

Condition of the water.

cording to existing rates established by
law, as in the case of ordinary pensions
hut is fixed by a board of officers, who are
restricted by such limitations only as are
found in the section itself.
The debates in the Senate Indicate that
SO lar as the upper house of Congress at
least Is concerned the enactment under
discussion had relation to that large class
OF pensioners borne upon the regular rolls
or the pension bureau, who having borne
arduous burdens during the period of the
civil war are now growing old, and finding
themselves suffering from disabilities,
many of which were difficult to trace to
any pensionable cause, had succeeded in
securing places at the bottom of the pen
sion rolls. where some of them received as
little as 81 per month, a rate of pension
decreed by Congress to be too low, in view
Of the Importance of the services for which
the pension was granted. Hence the en-
actment Of Mach 2. 1895. fixing So per
month as the minimum. That act operated
to raise s. pensions to Sc; out is it to be SO
construed as to affect all allowances of
like amount, under section 4I57, in like
manner? If so. beneficiary under the
section at 81 per month, who at the same
rate, making 81 per month. would find
himself in receipt Of two pensions of SO
each. or $12 per month. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that Congress intended to bring about
such a result. A more reasonable inter-
probation of the law seems to be that it
raises the regular pension to So. but leaves
the allowance granted in addition thereto
unaffected.
For the foregoing reasons, / am of
opinion that the act of March 2, 1895. re-.
lates to pensioners borne on the regular
pension rolls only, and has no application
to benenciaries of section 4757.
Should the views herein expressed be
concurred in by the department., 1t will be
unnecessary to consider the second ques-
ton presented by the bureau of navigation
in this connection, namely, whether, as
matter of administration action applying
the act of March 2, 1895. to beneflciaries
of section 4157 should be taken by the Sec
rotary of the Navy or by the commissioner
