ANOTHER BUNCH.

Mr.. William Morris Of Crisp, Iowa,
came to Omaha to see Prof. Kharas,
suffering with what the doctors had
said was gall stones. In fact, he
had been operated upon last year by
the surgeons at st. rs hospital,
but after the cutting was done no
trace Of gall stones could be found,
and the chagringed surgeons had in
Cured all danger and risk for moth
ing. Simply didn't understand the
case. Mr.. Morris was afflicted very
much like Mr.. John Boland, whose
case was reported in this paper some
time ago. The doctors thought Mr..
Boland had appendicitis, but he had
nothing of the kind. Kharas saved
him from an operation. Mr.. Morris
had an operation performed last year
before he heard of Kharas. After
wards he suffered continually for
year until he came to Kharas, through
the efforts Of some of Kharas' pa
tents. He was in Omaha only a few
days when he went home sound and
well. After being at home several
weeks he wrote Prof. Kharas, highly
endorsing his method of treatment,
saying he had had no indication of a
return.
Mrs. Baldwin, a bankers wife, of
Hamburg, Ia, had suffered with a
lump in her throat, and no doctor OF
medicine could give her relief, and her
case was getting desperate. Her faith
er had been cured of paralysis by
Prof. Kharas, SO he insisted that she
go to Omaha to be examined. Prof.
Kharas found that a small gland in
the side of her neck had for some
reason enlarged, producing a nervous
tension which caused constant con-
traction of muscles in the throat in
such a way as to appear like a lump,
though what the doctors had said was
a lump was no lump at all. He cured
Mrs. Baldwin in twenty minutes.
Mr.. A. w. Kicker, lecturer of con-
siderable prominence of Lone Tree,
Ia, went to Kharas for treatment for
stomach trouble of seven years stand
ing. He was cured in week, and is
now taking the Kharas course in Mag
netic Osteopathy, and will work for
Kharas at SIS month for the first
year, and $125 for the second year,
etc.
If you care to know more about all
this business write to Kharas. If you
don't want to write to Kharas write
to anybody who knows Kharas-ex-
cept the doctors-they know him, but
don't write to them. Information OBJ
tanned from a physician is sometimes
safe and sometimes not. Kharas re-
fers to those who know him best-his
patrons. He can send you names OF
over 1000 whom he has cured within
the last two years. He has branch
offices in many places in Iowa and
Nebraska. Investigate his work. It
will pay you. Kharas headquarters
are located at 1515-1517 Chicago street,
Omaha, Neb.

EIGHT HOURS FOR ENGLISH MINERS.

London.-(speciaL)- house of

passed the second reading Of the bill

hours daily by PIP to 1873 votes.
The bill is a private measure. The
opponents of the restriction Of the hours
Of labor insisted that such action would
enormously enhance the price of coal.

The railroads bought rails in America.
and even coal had to be imported into
this country. In the United States min

they did in England, not because they
were more skillful, but because they
worked ten hours a day.

VOTE ON A RAILROAD FRANCHISE.

Creston,I -(Special)-The opposition
of the city council to the proposed in
terurban railroad from Creston to Win
terset, proposed by the Omaha Trac-
ton company. has been overcome by
the petition method. A sufficient num-
Der of property owners petitioned May
or Simmer to call for an election to
vote on the question of giving the com
pany a franchise. Mayor Skinner has
issued the proclamation and the cleo
ton will take place in March, when
the municipal contest comes off.
1t was the original plan to ask for a
tax to support the road from the towns
of Creston, Winterset and Macksburg,
and the intermediate townships, but
so much oppositino has arisen over the
tax issue that the promoters will aban-
don that part of their plan and sell
stock. All the three mentioned placed
will vote on the franchise issue this
spring.

constitution referring to the relations
between Cuba and the United States. A
public session will be held this evening
to sign the following resolutions.w which
have been adopted:
'1. The government of Cuba will
not make a treaty or agreement with
any foreign power which may COM

or which may permit or authorize any
power to obtain by means Of colonial

or in any other way, any foothold or
authority or right over any portion of

which are affirmed the rights of Cuba,
to the extent of the obligations which
are explicitly indicaed in hese, and es-
pecially hose which the international
law imposes for the protection of life

SPANS OFFICERS ARE LEAVING.

Mani1a--(Specia1.l- An the Spanish
military officers in the Philippine ISL
lands have been ordered, through the
parish consul general, Senior Marina, to
return to Spain. There are probably
seventy of these officers, who on ac-
count of business interests, were per-
mitted to remain in the islands after
the Spanish soldiers were sent home.
They received a salary from the Span

A band of seventy armed insurgents
attacked the town Of Suog, In the prov

killed one native and abducted five. At
midnight of the same day they attacked

houses.
The insurgents were repulsed by the
Americans, who had one man wounded.
one native scout and two civilians
killed The insurgents retreated to the
mountains, closely pursued; their losses
were not learned.
The projectors Of the conservative
party have asked the American Philip
pines comission to inspect their plat
form, but Judge Taft postponed action
in the matter until Tuesday. They sub
sequently visited General Macarthur
and outlined to him their program, say
ing that the ultimate views of the par
ty would be submitted later and would
in no way conflict with the principle OF
American sovereignty.
General Macarthur responded that
any Philippine party, under the pres
ent circumstances, should have the es-
tablishment of peace throughout the
island for it's primary object and ad-
vised the avoiding of the discussion of
other political principles until peace
should be declared. He said the situa-
ton today did not permit the encour
agement of extreme party ideas.
The conservatives are apparently re-
ceiving encouragement from those au-
, thorities of the church who oppose the
federal party.

THINKS The Beers ARE BEATEN.

London.-(Special)- rF'ench's
most recent success combined with the
other advantages gained by the British
forces in South Africa, have created
most hopeful feeling in the war office
here. Lord Raglan, under secretary Of
war, described it today as being ''the
thin end of the wedge" and this is also
the opinion of the military critics who
reiterate that while the war cannot be
expected to end with a sudden stroke,
this constant capturing of men, guns
and supplies and horses means that the
operations will soon be reduced to in
significant skirmishing.
General French is quite the hero Of
the hour on the Pail Mall, though, Of
course, General Kitchener's controlling
hand is recognized under every circum-
stance. 1t is felt by Mr.. Broderick and
Lord Roberts that so long as the Brit
ish forces are doing something to d1-
minish the Beers supply of men, ami
mails and ammunition, they are achiev
ing the only possible objective at pres
ent in sight.
1t is not believed to be at all likely
that General Kitchener will grant any
armistice as a preliminary to peace, or
If he does he will not let the war office
know of it until he learns of the result.
In fact, little reliance is placed in such
an offer, for even if General Botha
gave in, the war office is inclined to
think that his action would only affect
the force under his immediate ind1-
vidual command and the same policy
which is now being pursued would have
to be continued against other forces far
removed from the commander-in-chief.
