LINCOLN, March 31.-(special)-The
question Of prohibition has been the over
shadowing issue in the municipal campaign
in this city. In one or two wards there
is some doubt as to the election Of the
nominees for councilmen, but otherwise the
republican tickle. will unquestionably re-
ceive an overwhelming majority. Candi-
dates have scarcely been mentioned during
the entire contest, the only subject OF real
discussion being that OF the saloons.
On this question OF whether OF not the
saloons shall be closed both sides are to-
night claiming a victory, but some of the
liquor dealers are apprehenslve Of the re-
suit and are even willing to wager that
the prohibition question will carry In the
election tomorrow. A. @. Wolfenbarger
who has been the leader Of the radical tenn
perance element, says the Indications are
fattering for the success of the no-saloon
movement.
Il have talked with a good many per
sons on the question and am glad to say
that a big majority of them we're outspoken
in favor Of prohibition" said Mr.. wolfen-
barger. "If the same ratio prevails among
the other voters we will win by a good
majority"
Rev. Fletcher L. Wharton of st. Paul's

COMPLAIN OF THE OFFICERS
Twenty-second TO T~hirteenth
strike Hard Lines.

FORT CROOK, Neb., March 31.-(Spe-
cial. )-Enlisted men of the Twenty-seCond
infantry who we're transferred to the Thir-
teenth before leaving Manila have found
their lot less happy, at least a portion.
Letters received here bring news of the
resignation en- masse of the non-commis-
stoned officers Of Company e. They were
persuaded to withdraw the letter lest
charges of mutiny might be preferred
against them, but all have determined to
secure release in some way. When enlisted
men voluntarily seek to be rid OF the
usually priced chevrons it is a sign some
thing is wrong. In this case it seems to
be the treatment accorded the men by
young lieutenants. One former private Of
the Twenty-second, now serving in the
Thirteenth, writes to a former chum:
when l enlisted to fight for my country
l left a good home, a dear mother and
friends ! loved, because / thought my coun-
try needed me. While out on the lines
soldering was, Of course, very hard. Ra-
lions could not be had and we lived the best
we could and made no complaint. We came
to Manila after two years and eight months
hard service, scouting around for contented
'gugus.' The regiment we belonged to was
ordered home; we were transferred to the
Thirteenth and here our troubles began.
While up in the mountains we could not
drill as often as here in Manila, though
l like to drill as we'll as others; and for
this the lieutenants hit them with their
swords, yell at them and push them around
like a lot OF ours. A soldier has a heart
as we'll as the officers who are over them
and they cannot endure such treatment.
One lieutenant, Halstead OF Company e,
was reported to the commanding officer by
a private for hitting him, but he still con-
tinues to yell and yank the men around
and strike them with his sword. Cannot
this be stopped or looked into? No wonder
! the men desert and the guardhouse is pre-
ferred to doing duty in such a company.
"At one time the inspector general would
come around and a private soldier had a
chance to make his complaint, but that
time seems to have passed away and we
arc obliged to stand and take anything the
to eat here In Manila. We Jared better in
the mountains. We are herded together
like a lot OF sheep and no one is allowed
to leave quarters even to buy food for him
self. In fact, we are held here as so many
prisoners, as though we had committed
some great crime for which we were beins
punished by a few young lieutenants. Can
not this be investigated? Cannot something
be done for these hard-service men besides
abusing them by striking them with q
sword and half starving them? These mer

THEY SET THE WOODS ON FIRE
Party of Wesleyan Students Go Hunt

Results.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb.. March 81
Especial Telegram .)-Some Wesleyan stu
dents and one Of the professors OF the elo-
cutionary department OF the university
today took a short course in physics, the
moral, like that OF the story, being in the
application Of II. They didn't pursue their
Investigations very far, but the result was
most eminently satisfactory In a way. As
one conclusion, they believe they have
demonstrated the fact that fire will burn,
and that on a windy day 1t travels at a
rate Of speed that justihes the use Of the
adjective wild"
Burt NJ. Reynolds and Frank swsrtz,
both OF University Place, accompanied by
Miss Marie Mickey Of osceola, Neb., and Miss
Alice Bickford OF Chicago, assistant pro-
lessor of elocution at Wesleyan univer-
sity, sailed forth on a hunting expedition.
They reached the Salt creek bottoms north
of Havelock, without meeting any partic-
ular adventures. and had just about male
up their minds that life in the wilds is not
all that some eminent writers
have pictured It. Having reached q, shell
tered nook-that is a nook that woul0 have
been sheltered, II the wind had blown from
some other di~rectlon-they decided TO take
tinn, and so started a fire in a hollow tree.
With faulty that amounts to little less
than prescience, they left their buggy
standing directly in the line Of the FIRE.
4 Before they were able to settle any Of the
details of the repast, the buggy was on fire.
II was still connected with the horses. and
contained guns and ammunition enough to
fight a battle. Just about this time tbs
merry hunters got busy. One Of the young
men, at the risk of being shot by en-
exploding cartridge, loosened the horses
from the buggy and the other, aided by
the young women. began their engagement
with Wild FIRE.
Both girls, true TO tradition. whlsked of
their overskirts and with them beat the
flames. The boys used their coats, and with
help from a neighboring farmhouse, the
fire was at last under control. One stack
Of hay, valued at $50; one buggy, valued al
SIS; four guns, no value hxed; buggy robes
wraps. ammunition. lunch and overskirts
on which no estimate OF value has been
made. make up the loss. The hunters and
huntresses walked home.

Fusion I'm Nebraska,
The continued fusion in Nebraska, which
has been decided upon since his return to
Lincoln, is put down as the first evidence
Of Bryan's policy which looks to the hold
ing together of the populists and demo-
Gratis of many states with himself as the
keystone Of the arch. The fact is, how
ever, that the fusion in Nebraska would
probably have been accomplished without
Bryan II he had opposed II. The populists
terially that a fusion is less an act OF
democratic than of populistic grace, al
though neither of the parties could enter
a campaign alone with any hope of success
against the republicans under normal con-
ditions. Senator Allen, the populist leader,
desires fusion as much as Mr.. Bryan can,
and doubtless contributed as much to bring
II about. The main fact of Importance in
the case. however, is that II has been ef-
fected without giving the least indication

fact in connection with Nebraska develop.
ments is that Mr.. Bryan is resuming the
old form In which he attained all of his
ascendancy over democratic party councils.

been trying to compromise is not seeking

He has awakened to this consciousness

WHAT'S THE USE OF SUFFERING AND

HAPPY WHEN SMITHS GREEN
FOUNTAIN RENOVATOR WILL
CURE YOU?

Try 1t and be convnced-we guarantee it to help you.
A great many sick people shake their heads in doubt when
you recommend a medicine to them. They say they have
tried this and that and it didn't do them any good, and they
have lost all faith in medicine.
This sounds very well, but how are you going to get around
the facts of Smiths Green Mountain RenOUatOr? How
can a medicine be sold over and over again to the same peo-
pie year after year for a quarter of a century unless it is a good
medicine ? Its advertising did not do it. 1t was advertised
only from mouth to mouth until its present owners got hold of
it and placed it within the reach of the public at large.
II it didn't benefit, people wouldn't buy a second time, and
the medicine wouldn't have lasted FIVE years, to say nothing of
twenty-five years, right in the locality where it is made and is
best known.
Up In Northern Vermont when people have blood troubles
or any disease or arrangement of the liver, stomach or kid
neys, they go after Smiths Green Mountain RenOUator
and never think of taking anything in place of it. They know
it as the great body-builder. They know that it helps the
blood by purifying it, and they know that it helps the digestive
organs by cleansing them and Strengthening them. They also
know that people who take this famous medicine have
strong muscles and nerves, good complexion, a clear, bright
eye and the alertness of youth.
Everybody gets run down" now and then on account of
stoppages of the liver, kidneys and bowels wherever impurities
TEN. That is what the trouble is with the men you see who
are always complaining. That is what the trouble is with
pale, istless women you see all about you.
If you belong to this class, you can't get Smiths Green
Mountain RenOUGtOr in too quickly.
We urge you to try it and we guarantee 1t.

River Frontiers Begin Campaign
AGAINST Present Siters.


Des Moines, Dec 2S.-D. H. HOOK
er has filed an amendment to his ORR
ginal petition for an injunction to res
train the Polk county board of super
yisors from going ahead with the work
The amendment practically constitutes
a new action and it asked that the
board be enjoined from continuing the
work on the ground that the plaintiff
believes it is building to cost be-
tween $750,000 aad S1,000.000 while
the original proposition calls for the
expenditure of about 100000.
It is expected the petition will be
presented Immediately to the court
and the issue heard. The river front
ers are extremely anxious that there
shall be no delay, as it is the intention
Of the board to begin the razing of the
old building Jan. This is believed
to be only a beginning of the endless
litigation the river frontiers are plan
ming as obstacles in the way of erect
ing new court house. 1t is under
stood that they will seek to proven. tie

that delay will be oIcassioned. They
will make application for restraining
orders whenever there are grounds
offered, expecting no permanent re-
lief but rather to delay operations as

out that the cause is not lost one
and that it will be long time before
the new court house is finally located
and completed.

Major Turner Recommends Four

Des Moines, Dec. 30.-Major Turner,
engineer in charge of the work of
construction at Fort Des Moines, has
forwarded his recommendations and
reports to the war department at
Washington, together with all his
papers, in anticipation of being re-
called and assigned to other duty as
requested by him some time ago.
The substance OF his recommends
lions have been given out and will
prove disappointment to the people
of Des Moines. He recommends that
the total cost of improvements, in

sewerage, etc, be not to exceed $780,
900, and that the post be equipped for
four troops of cavalry Of eighty-fve
men each instead of for a regiment
of cavalry, which would necessitate
providing for about 1,400 people.
1t has been the understanding of the
people of Des Moines from the outset
that Fort Des Moines was to be a
regimental post and that the buildings
would be Ell ected to provide for twelve
troops instead of four. 1t was with
this understanding that the citizens
of Des Moines contributed forty
thousand dollars to purchase the
four hundred acres of land that
have been decided to the government as
site for post, and it was with a
regimental post in view that all nego-
tiations with the water company have
been carried on.
1t is the opinion of members of the
committee that the war department
will not recedc from it's order of some
months ago making this a regimental
post, and that sufficient pressure will
be brought to bear on the department
to secure a full regimental post for

Correspondent at Picking Says That
Americans Are Taking Chances.
Picking, Dec. 31.-The empress dow
ager is dispatching to this city large
bodies of troops in anticipation Of the
arrival of the court Jan. 10. Two
thousand foreign-trained soldiers have
just arrived. In view of these for
midable arrangements the opinion of
the Americans here comedies with
that OF United States minister Conger,
who says the two quick-firing guns
requested for the equipment of the
legation guard should be furnished
Immediately and that the American
end of the defenses should have
blockhouse built on the wall similar
to that built for the German legation
= Mr.. Conger also believes that the
American legation is otherwise in
great need of Strengthening. All the
other legations have been rendered
impregnable. 1t is feared here that
the department is listening to Com
missioner Rockhill instead of to Mr..
Conger. which would be great mis-
take.
Picking, Dec. 31.-Considerable SEN
sation has been caused in Chinese
official circles by dinner given at
LIS ASSluSuCe NY. OulLeQ S0LdLoS Min
lister Conger, and which was attended
by the leading officials of the Chinese
foreign office. Among the officials
present We're: Ma Tung, former
Boxer" leader, and Wang Wen Shao,
one of the Chinese plenipotentiares
The dinner was attended by several
American ladies'.
1t was formerly the custom for
prominent Chinese officials never to
enter a foreign legation except on the
most formal occasions, while the
meeting of foreign ladies socially
would have been considered as de-
grading as would the associating
with Chinese women upon the same
footing.
This event is significant of the
progressive tendency of to-day which
has recently been manifested In many
ways.
A party of Manchu princes, in,
Guiding Prince Su, collector of taxes
on goods entering Picking, started
Saturday to meet the Chinese court.
Prince Su intends to prove his claim
to be sent as an envoy to Great
Britain upon the occasion of the coro-
nation of king Edward.
