TO Kidney Sufferers.
An Opportunity
of Your Notice.

If you suffer with kidney disease or
any ailment arising from an improper
action of the kidneys or urinary organs,
this offer we make to the people of Al
exandria should interest you. In the
advancement of medical science, the
kidneys, the organs Of the greatest inn
portance TO human health, have not
been neglected, and in placing before
YOU such cure as Doan's Kidney Pills
the proprietors recognize how far so
many statements of the makers of SINH
lar preparations have fallen short Of
their claims, being convinced that no
remedy for kidney complaint in exist
ence equals Doan's Kidney Pills for
such ailments; strengthened in these
convictions by letters that are daily re-
ceiyed of the work they are doing for
mankinds benefit, old backs and young
backs are being constantly freed from
never-ceasing aches, and many a lame
and shattered one, stopped and contract
ed, is strengthened, invigorated and in
fused with new life. With such med
icine an offer of this kind can be made
without hesitancy, for while we lose the
box we give to you, we make friend
that assists us in the sale of many others.

prehension of an inadequate supply tor
the approaching winter call for an earn
est effort to reach practical conclusion,
which will result in an increased supply,
and the presidents of the companies de,
sire to make every effort to that end
which does not involve the abandonment
of the interests committed to their care
and of the men who are working and
sec king to work in their mines. This re-
sponsibility they must bear and meet as
best they can.
They therefore restate their position:
That they are not discriminating against
the United Mine Workers, but they in
sist that the miners union shall not dis
criminate against or refuse to work with
non-union men; that there shall be no
restriction or deterioration in quantity or
ouality of work. and that owing to the
VARYING physical conditions of the an
thracite mines each colliery is prob
lem by itself.
We suggest commission be appointed
by the President of the United States Gf
he is willing to perform that public ser
yice). to whom shall be referred all
questions at issue between the respective
companies and their own employees,
whether they belong to a union or not,
and the decision of that commission shall
be accepted by us.
The commission to be constituted as
fellows:
/. An officer of the Engineer Corps OF
either the military or naval service OF
the United States.
2. An expert mining engineer expert
enced in the mining of coal and other
minerals and not in any way connected
with coal mining properties, either anthra-
cite or bituminous.
3. One of the judges of the United
States Courts of the Eastern district OF
Pennsylvania.
4. A man of prominence, eminent as
sociologist.
5. A man who, by active participation
in mining and selling coal, Is familiar
with the physical and commercial fea-
lures of the business
1t being the understanding that i'm
mediately upon the constitution OF such
commission, in order that idleness and
non-production may cease instantly, the
miners will return to work and cease all
interference with or persecution Of any
non-union men who are working or shall
hereafter work. The findings of this
commission shall fix the date when the
same shall be effective, and shall govern
the conditions of employment between
the respective companies and their own
employees for a term of at least three
years.

IMPURE FOODS.

In these days OF impure foods a word is
SUFFICIENT TO the wise, and we desire a word
Of that nature to our readers. Almost every
thing in the food line is in these days
being adulterated in order to cheaper the
price Of living. While the state has created
both pure food law ard commission, still the
evil continues and many people are daily
suffering fearful consequences. The fact is
that 1t Is hard to tell what is pure, clean
and healthtul food. one that has no adul-
iteration, and In this hot weather will sus-
tain the human system.
We want TO point out 10 our readers a
food which is pure, wholesome and rich in
nourishment. Il is known as Per-fo. The
word stands for PERFECT FOOD. and the
food is worthy Of the name. for Il stands
at the head Of It's class. having 30 per cent
Of nutriment. Per-fo is made from nine
different cereals, vegetables and nuts, all
Of which are milled into the finest -four
form, containing none of the bran. hulls and
other waste matter found In most cereal
products. The entire process Of mAnufac-
ture Is scientific and clean to the last de-
gree. So when we ask our readers to eat
Par-fo we know that we are recommend
ing a thoroughly wholesome and pure food.
It is used in pies. buildings and breakfast
food, also escalloped dishes, dressings, fritz
tiers, soups, etc. All In same package OF
Per-fo. We are told that every grocer in
Omaha will sell Per-fo by Saturday.

Fremont Darkey Thinks Too
Familiar and Cnrve His
Neck.

FREMONT, Neb., July 23.-(Special.)--
Considerable excitement was caused on
west Sixth street last evening By some Of
the colored population. in the course Of
which Rev. Wilson, who claims to be a
Baptist minister from Lincoln, received a
severe cut on the neck from another coll
ored man, H. A. Adams. AccordlOg to
Adams story the preacher called at his
house several times when he was away aud
on one occasion had asked Mrs. Adams to
run away with him and made an indecent
proposal to her.
Last evening Rev. Wilson, who Is a
man about 55 years old, was passing the
Adams house and seeing Alan,a and his
wife on the front steps raised his hat aud
bowed. Adams told him to leave and as
the divine didn't seem to be in a hurry he
pulled a knife and slsshed the preacher
in the neck. Wilson ran to the nearest
drug store and had the wound, a cut four
inches long and -fourths Of an inch
deep, sewed up and then went OYER TO the
African Methodist revival meeting.
He denied having any intention OF STOP
ping at the Adams house and Daii he didn't
know why Adams should have 1t In for him.
He said an Omaha colored man had Eeen
lying about him and he hadn't done
nuthun' out OF the way at the Adams
place. He refused to swear out a warrant
for the arrest OF Adams and took the early
train this morning for Blair.

CSpecial.)--Francis NJ. Massie and Mrs.

and eighty acres Of land, respectively.
This with eighty acres on which Charles
Metleer is located are the only homestead
entries in Cass county which have not been
proved up.
This total Of a half section Of the finest
Ian in the county has been awaiting a
decision of the courts for years and was
only recently decided as government land
and subject to homestead entry. In the
meantime those who have squatted on II
and farmed 1t the last thirty years have
not had to pay taxes, neither could they
leave It for fear Of outsiders jumping
their claims.
The b. & M. railroad claimed the land In
question and contested the settlers rights.
AS long as this suit was pending the
United States land Office o~flcials refused
the tender Of money by the interested par
ties, who wanted to make final proof, and
so the case has dragged along for years,
finally being decided in favor OF the home
steaders.
This half section is but a few miles

Whether she should

NEW YORK, July 2s.-A. a prominent
young society woman Of Philadelphia
stepped from the steamship Kron Prlhz
Wilhelm on its arrival here, having met
her husband, waiting on the pier, agents
OF the Treasury department interrupted
their conversation and took from the
woman a pearl necklace reported worth
$4,000, which she had purchased in Paris
and omitted from her declaration.
A special treasury agent had been in
Paris and learned Of the purchase Of the
necklace. He determined to return to
New York on the same steamship with the
purchaser. He noticed that she had made
no mention Of the gems in her declaration
to the customs officers. He remained
nearby at the pier, and after the traveller
had greeted her husband he, with another
agent, asked the couple to return to their
stateroom. He asked for, the necklace and
the woman, who wore 1t around her neck,
under the dress collar, handed the pearls
over.
Collector Stranahan may allow the pay
ment Of the duty Of 60 per cent and deliver
the necklace to its owner.
The latter said, however, he might de-
eide not to pay the duty, and return the
necklace to the Paris jewellers, who sold it
to his wife. The woman said she had no
intention Of evading payment, but wished
to consult her husband about the pur-
chase before declaring 1t 10 the customs
officials.

Required to Adopt
Amendments.

LINCOLN. July 23.-Cspecial Tele-
gram.)-In the face OF the veto Of ex-Gov-
ernor Dietrich to the constitutional amend
ment Secretary OF State Marsh has decided
to submit the measure to a vote Of the Ne
braska electors next November. This move
is taken on the advice Of Attorney General
Prout, who declares that the governor has
no right to reject or affirm the bill. or at
least such preference bears no weight on
the matter. He holds that the Initiative is
taken by the legislature and the electors
then approve or ~disapprove the measure.
The scope Of the proposed amendment Is
to change the majority necessary to carry
a constitutional amendment from the ma
jority Of all votes cast to a majority Of the
votes cast on the proposition in question.
In his veto message Governor Dietrich
stated that his reason for rejecting the
measure was that the expense Of submit
ting the bill would be about $4,000, but
Secretary Marsh estimates the cost will not
exceed 1880.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Reports have
reached the War department Of excellent
progress on the Manila post. Congress
appropriated $500, 900 early in the year and
1900 acres OF and on the Pasig river has
been acquired for the post. The tract is
about three miles long and one mile wide.
Roads have been graded and m~acadamlzed
from the river to the buildings and work
on the latter is being pushed rapidly.
The lumber for these quarters is sent
from the Columbia river and Puget sound.
II costs about SIS per thousand and about
$40 per thousand more for t~ransporta-
ton, but the total cost is cheaper than It
can be purchased for in Manila. 1t is
said that the white ant, which is so de-
structive to most woodwork in the Philip
pines, does not injure the yellow pine of
the Pacific coast.
There was appropriated in the army bill
81, 500, 900 for other posts in the Philip
pines and General Chaffee will make re-
ports and recommendations to Secretary
Root as TO their location. II is under
