Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application OF the Festner Printing COM
pany for a mandamus to compel the Board
of County Commissioners to execute a con-
tract with the company for the county print
Ing for 1899. The arguments related merely
to the facts previously stated. County At
torney Shields %contending that the board
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids and that the bid of the Festner COM
pany was not complete. The court granted
the writ after an extended monologue, a
considerable part Of which pretained to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 80, which
had been introduced in evidence. He con-
tended at length that the board had no right
to consider union or non-union labor in
granting contracts. He declared that the
right to reject all bids was not an absolute
right and that the board should have &C.
cepted the lowest bid at once after 1t was
received.

HOUSE L0oTING MUST STOP
N and Rental Agents Organize
that They May Punish
the

Since the binding over to the district
court of Charles Ellis and Peter Green for
breaking into the dwelling house owned by
r. G. Pierce, the real estate men have
recognized the necessity Of organization
against depredators Of this character.
Nebraska law under which thieves
are liable for forcing their way into vacant
dwellings is not as specific as 1t might be,
and the agents intend to see that the in
terests of the owners are protected by their
own vigilance. Numerous houses have been
entered and the plumbing torn out Just as
1t was in Mr.. Pierce's house and 1t is a hard
matter to get at the men who do the work.
The pipe, brass and copper, are sold to the
junk dealers, who usually keep no record
OF such a purchase, so 1t is hard to get a
trace of thieves. An organization for the
prosecution Of thieves and the protection
OF all vacant houses, they think, would 60
far toward lessening the large number Of
depredations and such an organization is
in process Of formation.

DANGEROUS METHODS
EMPLOYED IN THE TREATMENT OP
NASAL CATARRH.
Use a Safe, Reliable Medicine.

Few people realize, in treating themselves
OF Catarrh with the douche. snuffs. ETC., the
dangerous methods they employ. Catarrh
cannot be cured by such treatment and 10
more times made worse in point Of the fact
that the lotion or wash does not touch the
affected parts and actually destroyed the ad-
1acent healthy tissues. To reach Catarrh an
internal remedy should be used, acting upon
the mucous membranes through the system.
There Is no remedy which acts SO promptly
and gives such immediate relief as Gauss
Catarrh Tablets. They are taken internally
and cure because they act directly upon tho
mucous membranes and surfaces through the
system. At druggists or by mail. SOC, full
