She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound 1t
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr. w. Bowel, of "a, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col, writes: ~ wish to state that
my wife has been taking Voseler's Curative
Compound for long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now."
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.
St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, Baltimore, Md, will
send you a free sample bottle. Write
them.

Plans of Week in Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The
plans of the senate for the week do
not extend beyond the continuation
of the debate on the Philippine gov
ernment bill and the consideration of
minor matters when there is no one
prepared to speak on the Philippine
bill There is no prospect thus far
for speeches in support of that meas
ure, and consequently all the talk bids
fair to continue to be on the negative
sode of the question. Up to the pres
ent time the speeches all have been
made by minority members of the
Philippine committee, but it is stated
that other democratic senators have
promised to lift their voices in oppo-
sition to the bill.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Daily Ex'
press, which declares that every con-
siderable steamship line except the
Beaver line, has no joined in an agree
ment to raise saloon fares for trans
portation across the Atlantic, publish
es an interview this evening with Sir
Charles Tupper, former Canadian high
commissioner in London, in which
he advocates, in the event of the con-
troll of the Canadian Pacific railroad
passing to the Morgan interests, that
retaliatory measures be taken by tax
ing American imports and that spe-
cial legislation be adopted to prevent
injury to Canadian interests.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 2S.-Winter

enormous possibilities, declares AS
sociate Director Lyon in bulletin is

Kruger May Visit America.

THE HAGUE, April 2S-The report
published in Paris that President

agents in America are renewing their
entreaties that Mr.. Kruger visit the

WRIGHT PRAISES cHAFFEE.
Taft's Assistant Says General Is Loyal
Supporter of Civil Rule.

MANILA, April 2S.-At a farewell
banquet here to the officers of the
Ninth infantry Acting Civil Governor
Luke E. Wright paid a glowing tribute
to the military forces. He said the
army, under circumstances of surpris-
ing difficulty, had paved the way for
the work of the civil authorities, and
that only few cases of friction be-
tween the two branches of govern
ment had occurred. He said that Cen
eral Chaffee, whose opinion might at
times have differed from those of the
civil authorities, had been a most
loyal supporter of civil rule.
Replying to Civil Governor Wright,
General Chaffee said that the officers
of the army knew that their duty to
the country demanded their utmost
efforts to sustain the civil authorities
and to suppress the rebellion.

MORTON'S DEATH
THE FOUNDER OF ARsOR DAY
JOINS THE MAJORITY.
PASSES AWAY AT SONS HOME
Illness Dates Back Several Months
and Decline Unchecked from First
Death Is Due to Cerebral Thrombus
Stroke of Apoplexy fastened End.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-Hon. J. Ster-
ling Morton. former secretary of agri-
culture, died at 4:3O yesterday after
noon at Lake Forest, at the home OF
his son. Mark Morton. For several
weeks Mr.. Morton had been gradually
failing. The interment will be at Ne
braska City. A special train bearing
the remains of Mr.. Morton and men,
bers of his family and friends will
leave Lake Forest at 4 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon for Nebraska City.
Death was due to cerebral throm-
bus. Mr.. Morton began ailing several
months ago and in hopes that a
change of climate would restore his
health he went to the City of Mexico,
accompanied by his son, Paul Morton,
Mr.. Morton continued to grow worse
in the southern country and six weeks
ago he returned to his old home in
Nebraska. He then returned to Chi
cago, where it was believed he would
have better medical attention.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., April %.
Word was received here that Hon.
]. Sterling Morton, eX-secretary of ag-
riculture, had died at the home of his
third son, Mark, in Lake Forest, ILL.,,
yesterday, after an illness of several
months. Last Tuesday was his seven
tieth birthday and the usual celebra-
tion was omitted here out of respect
to Mr.. Morton's condition.
Mr.. Morton came to Nebraska in
1854 and settled with his wife on the
farm that has been his home ever
since and which, by the force of the
man, has become known throughout
the country. The first Arbor day was
celebrated at this home by the family
long before it became a world holiday.
The conception of Arbor day was one
of the flashes of genius which Mr..
Morton has always attributed to his
wife, 1t was to her also that Arbor
Lodge owes it name, but to Mr.. Nor
ton belongs the fame that has been
shed from it's hospitable doors. On
this farm four sons, Joy, Paul, Mark
and Carl were born and grew up to
carry the name of Morton out into the
world. Joy Morton is now one of the
powerful figures in Chicago finance.
Paul Morton is vice president of the
Santa Fe railroad and Mark is at the
head of several of the great Morton
industries. Carl, the youngest and
best beloved, is dead, having passed
away at Waukegan, ILL.,, year ago
last January.
Ever since his coming to Nebraska
J. Sterling Morton has been mighty
factor in the development of the state.
A man of pewrful physique and more
powerful mentally, he has brought his
whole strength to bear on the problem
of converting the trackless plain into
a garden of plenty. How well he has
wrought can be seen by a glance at
the highly cultivated acres at Arbor
Lodge. How thoroughly he is loved
can be seen tonight in the sorrowful
faces of the men and women who
walk quietly through the streets.

GRANTS RHEA A REPRIEVE.
Governor Postpones Date of Execution
Until July of Next Year.

VIM S1iy VI iNSNh Sois
LINCOLN, Neb., April 26-Governor
Savage has granted reprieve to Will
liam Rhea until July 10, 1908. He gives
his reasons in the following statement
for taking this action !:
'The foregoing reprieve of William
Rhea is issued because | believe, after
thorough investigation of all the
facts involved, that it Is doubtful If
the death penalty ought to be imposed
upon the said William Rhea. At the
same time l am reluctant to commute
the sentence to Imprisonment for life,
for the reason that history shows that
in many cases a life sentence in the
penitentiary does not mean confine-
ment for life.
"In my opinion, the said William
Rhea ought not at any time to be
given his liberty. | grant reprieve
for this long time in order that the
coming legislature may have an op-
portunity to amend the law relating to
pardons and combinations, if it sees
fit to do so. and direct that this ex-
planation of my action be recorded in
the records of the state penitentiary,
and also in the office of the clerk of
the supreme court"
oFllowing is the agreement signed
by Rhea:
Il, William Rhea, the prisoner men
toned in the foregoing reprieve, hav-
ing read the same and being fully ad-
vised and aware of the meaning there
of, do hereby voluntarily consent there
to and hereby accept and adopt the
provisions and conditions OF said re-
prieve, consenting that the date of ex-
ecution may be delayed and postponed
as therein provided for, and l request
and direct that e. d. Davis and George
w. Martin, who are to me well known,
shall sign this, my consent and ap-
proval and acceptance of said re-
prieve, as witnesses, and that they
make proof of my signature and &C
ceptance before the said clerk of the
supreme court of the state of Nebras
ka, and that the reprieve and this ap-
proyal thereof and said proof of said
witnesses may thereupon be recorded
in the office of the said clerk of said
supreme court"
The governors order to the warden
follows:
whereas, 1t seems proper that said
should be delayed for the
time hereinafter mentioned,
Nov, therefore, this is to command
you to postpone and delay the said
of said William Rhea until
the second Friday of July, A. D. 1903,
being the 10th day of said month, at
which time you will carry said man
date from the clerk of the supreme
court into effect between the hours
mentioned and in all respects in ac-
cordance Herewith, only the date of
said execution being hereby altered.
You will retain said William Rhea in
confinement in the said penitentiary
in the meantime at hard labor during
the hours of labor and keep him in
solitary confinement during the hours
hat the other prisoners are kept in
heir cells
