CLAIMS VS.. CURES.
1t Is very much easier to make claims
than TO make cures. 1t is by its cures
"Favorite Prescription is to be Judged
and by the multiplied testimonies to
these cures given by the grateful women
WHO have been restored 10 perfect health
and strength through the use of this
great medicine.

ONE RAILROADS. SCHOOL BILLS.
Expenses Saddlcd ON tho Union Pacific
nv Thrifty Nebraska Folks.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. l5,-The Union
Pacific Railroad Company Ia just now
struggling with a series Of demands on 1t
to maintain schools.
In many Of the far Western counties.
in the sparscly settled cattle country, the
tracks Of the company runf for miles with
no human habitation in sight. Keith county
Is one Of these.
From the &C frers Of the company comes
90 per cent OF the revenue Of one school
district. Three families live therein, The
average daily attendance at school Is
nino pupils. Yet the district has two
schoolhouses and two teachers. AT one
school five pupils are enrolled. At the
other four receive instruction.
The company has paid somewhat grudg-
ingly the expense of maintenance, as a
considerable distance separates the two
schoolhouses. But now it is kicking.
At n meeting Of the voters of tho district
tho other day it was ordered that another
schoolhouse be built and another teacher
employed. The reason advanced Is that
the present buildings are so situated that
IL is a hardship for the members OF one
family TO send their children so far.
Tho annual tax levy has always been
placed at the highest notch allowed by
law. and 70 meet the expense Of a new
building 1t has been decided to vote bonds.
Here is where the company balks.
1t has appealed to State Superintendent
Fowler to stop the imposition. He has re-
sponded by writing a letter to the district
officers advising them TO get along with
two schoolhouses, but he has no way of
enforcing his recommendations.
One Of the two schoolhouses is now oc-
cupied as the permanent habitation of a
family. The wife teaches the school.
whose pupils are her own children. at a
liberal salary and the railroad company
foots the bill.
The company has also entered a protest
against what it calls the extravaganza OF
another set of district school officers in
Cheyenne county, out near the Colorado
line. This school is also taught by the wife
of one of the voters. and the company has
coal bills, holding that twenty tons Of fuel
could hardly be consumed in one school
house stove In the course Of a winter.
In revenge for this the directors
have been indulging in some other ex-
travagances. Thu other week an agent
for an Eastern publishing house happened
along. They ordered from him a complex
chart at n cost Of S47.50, an encyclopedia
and other supplies amounting to $3.50.
although the district was previously we'll
Mr.. Fowler, in his instance also, has
sent a letter to the school board admon-
ishing II against extravaganza, even IN
minor matters. Meanwhile the company
