REPORT ON CATTLE LOSSES
Dnmag Not as Heavy as Might BE
Observation-Disclosures Reports Are
StiII Less UnfavOrable.

DENVER, Colo, March 4-Charles f.
Martin, secretary of the National Live Stock
association, today issued a bulletin concern
ing live stock losses on the range this win
ter. 1t says:
With the exception of Montana, reports
have beeen received from leading stockmen
and are considered accurate as far as they
go. In Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, northern
and western Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory the winter has been
the worst known in ten years or more.
Fortunately, the great cold made the storms
dry and there was enough wind and sun TO
keep a fair proportion of the ranges uncoV-
cred. Oregon, Washington and Arizona suf-
fered very little and will have only nominal
losses. California is still suffering from
drouth and the outlook there is bad. The
losses in Wyoming, Colorado and the Da-
kotas as yet have not averaged 4 per cent.
In northern and western Texas and north
eastern New Mexico and through southern
Oklahoma and Indian Territory the heaviest
losses have been with cattle being moved
north from the south.
Where the cattle went into the winter In
bad condition the mortality has been heavy,
reaching in some sections as high as 20 per
cent. Taking the range section as a whole,
to the present time, the losses will average
4 per cent. With the most favorable con-
ditions that can be expected an additional
loss of . per cent may be looked for before
spring and should the weather continue bad
through March a heavy loss Will certainly
result.
In Utah, Wyoming and some parts OF Ore
gon heavy sheep losses are reported. 1t Is
feared that there will also be heavy sheep
losses in Montana. Wyoming reports some
instances of losses reaching as high as 30
per cent and some claim that II March fur
nishes much bad weather the sheep loss in
that state may reach % per cent. In west
ern Utah tho conditions appear to be almost
as bad. In several instances the reports
give the average for this section as being
20 per cent. These two states are the great
est sufferers of any reported.
In Nebraska, New Mexico, Colorado and
Kansas the reports are not so discouraging,
but in sections of these states where the
range Is depended upon exclusively the
losses have been heavier than usual.

GOOD CATCH BY THE POLICE
Coburg Is Thought to BE More
Than m Ordinary
Thief.

II. c.. Coburg, who was arrested by the
police for entering the home Of Ernest
Stenger, had a number of articles on his
person which were stolen from various per-
sons. A light silk lined overcoat, a valuable
setting for a stud, some cuff buttons, a pock-
etbook and a string of beads indicate that
he had been very Industrious. The pocket
book Is thought to belong to Rev. T. V.
Moore, from it was stolen when it contained
$50. Coburg had a lot of skeleton keys.
They will unlock all kinds of doors, COM
modes and trunks. Coburg says he has been
in the city about four weeks. He gave the
police information which leads them to be-
lieve he has been operating in Lincoln.
George Pearson entered a plea of guilty
TO the charge OF petty larceny and was sent
to the county Jail for thirty days. He took
two planes and one square from w. Everett,

ASKS FOR a SALE OF THE ASSETS.
Court Asked to wind Up Affairs of
Nchrnskm SnNimgs nnmk.

NtpTHShN va NINA
An effort is to be made in the district
court to have an order directing the sale
OF the assets of the Nebraska savings and
Exchange bank for the benefit of it's de-
positors, similar ITO that made by Judge
Fawcett in the matter of the German Saw
ings bank receivership.
An application asking for this was filed
by V. O.. Stricken yesterday afternoon in
behalf of some fifty OF the banks depos-
itors. In substance, 1t contains a compari-
son between the first report made by Re-
celver William X. Potter on November %,
1895, and his last report, on August 81, 1898,
no show that while the nominal assets of
the bank have shrunk $3.50 the liabil-
tiles have been reduced no more than $74,-
832. In the first report the assets were
given as s346, 992. 73, and the liabilities as
$196, 992. 10. The August 81 report gave the
assets as 1921. 9S4.16 and the liabilities as
1922, 16O,3S
During the three years and over the bank
has been in the receivers hands four divi-
dends have been declared, one on May II,
1896, Of 10 per cent, and each of the others
6 per cent, respectively on March s and
August 2, 1897, and on August 8, 1898. 1t
is said by the petitioners that while these
dividends, making n total Of 20 per cent,
have been declared, the accumulation OF
interest upon the banks debts and the taxes
upon its property have amounted to n total
of 22% per cent, SO that The net liquidation
has not been greater than pa per cent. A
further point Is made TO the effect that the
choicest assets have been disposed Of and
that, should the receiyershlp be continued,
the bank would not do as well. 1t is al

CHlLD'S PLAY OF THE CUBANS
Sessions of Assembly Are Devoted to
Foolish Speeches and Qunrrels
Between Members.

HAVANA, March THE Cuban assembly
has requested the newspaper men OF Ha-
vana upon their honor as journalists and
good, patriotic Cubans" not TO publish any
thing they may learn regarding the as
sembly's secret sessions, thinking that pub
lie knowledge of what is doing may be used
against the assembly in its subsequent deal
ings with the United States.'' This is
claimed to show that no individual member
of the assembly trusts another.
Last night there was much mysterious
cafe whispering. 1t seems that a consid-
cradle portion of the time during the ses-
sions CT the assembly is spent in insulting
Americans and General Gomez and personal
collisions between the members. They also,
it Is added, accuse each other of accepting
brides from the United States, which ac-
cusations are followed by threats of duels.
In addition to this the Cuban assembly
men consider that the planting of General
Fitzhugh Lees Flagstaff four meters deep in
the ground is a sure sign of the continuance
of the American occupation of the island.
These reports arising from the prolonged
and boisterous secret sessions have made
the doings Of the Cuban assembly the joke
of Havana.
La Quasima issued an extra based in
the speeches of Messrs. Sewall and White
IN the senate, utCldIllS IAC CNNhNuuAlNlCS VI
the war between the United States and
Cuba. 1t says:
ut is ominous that the senate has de-
creed to exterminate the Filipinos. Tho
United States, encouraged by the asserted
victories in the Philippines, may inaugurate
the same policy in Cuba. 1t behooves all
Cubans to be on the alert. Let the watch>
word be Alert
Any rumors discreditable TO the American
military authorities are quickly repeated.
An example cited is that General Ludlow,
commanding Havana, has Just bought har-
ness valued at $1,000 for his personal use,
chargeable to the Cuban taxes. Obviously
this is untrue. Still it is averred that the
army expenses are paid for at Cuba's ex-
pense.
The battleship Indiana sailed yesterday
evening. The flagship New York is expected
to sail today. 1t is said they are both 60
ing to Key West for coal.
The son and daughter of General Maxine
Gomez arrived here yesterday from San Do
mingo. They are living at La Quinta with
their father.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not lie Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, is more
often the result Of weak stomachs, OF poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but not
one case in a hundred OF heart trouble Is or
ganic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is effected
by the form OF poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling Of oppression and
heayiness in the chest caused by the pres
sure of the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which ~irritates
and weakens the heart,
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals OF some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores, and which contain valuable,
armies digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
It IS safe TO say that the regular, per-
sistent use OF stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time Will cure any form Of stomach
,trouble except cancer Of the stomach.

druggists at go cents. Little book on stom-
ach troubles mailed free, Address L. A.
