Mrs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member
OF a Chicago Wonan's Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with
out a Surgical Operation. She says:

doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute
there is any trouble nothing but an operation will do them; one
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and
agony, and often death.
a suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles spent hundreds
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com
pound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana-
tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
E. Pnkhams Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
would occur."-MRs. L. HARRIS, 28 East 31t St, Chicago, Ill.

Supreme Court.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 5.-The report

sion was referred by the supreme
court to Governor Savage, and by him
will be submitted to the next legisla-
ture. The commission consisted Of
Albert W. Critics of Chadron, Willis l..

Judge Critics declares:
1.-The act authorizing said commits

In addition to drafting and reporting
a bill for an act relating to land trans
fers, should also report their own
views a. to the expediency of legis-
lative action in that direction. have
conferred with my colleagues in the
form of a bill for the purpose, but l
am decidedly of the opinion that SO
radical a change in our present sys-
tenn of land transfers is neither needed
nor desirable"
He gives these as his conclusions:
81. That transfers are not cheap
ened under the act.
SO. That they are not simplified.
"3. That they are, in fact, o
costly and more complicated.
~. That increased security is not,
in fact, obtained.
SO. That in practice no one relies
upon any security afforded thereby.
"6. That the general public have
no confidence in its provisions, even
after years of use.
81. That there is no real need for
any radical changes or amendments
to Jul present laws relating to the
transfer of real property"

A Chance 10 Win.

Senator James K. Jones said
last night to a representative of
the Gazette that he thought the
Democratic party in the next
house of representatives had a
good chance of controlling that
body; that the Republican party
had missed it's opportunity to in
augurate such policy as would
continue them in power, and that,
in his opinion, if the Democrats
would but hold together in the
congressional campaign this year
they would have but little trouble
in downing the Republican party
so far as the representation in the
house was concerned.
The Republican party has fail
ed to live up to it's opportunities
and to take advantage of them,
and | believe that the displeasure
of the American people will and
ought to manifest itself in a very
positive manner. The chances
for the Democratic party to con-
troll the next house are very good.
To do tn is it is only necessary to
avoid pickering among ourselves
and let by-gones be by-gones.
| 1t is essential that we face a
united and compact party square
! ly to the front, BY so doing we
ought easily to overcome the op I
position and carry good major
ity in the house. The absolute
failure of the Republican party
to do anything toward the sup
preston of the trusts and their
refusal even to lower the tariff on
trust t-made goods, ought in It.
self to be enough to cause their
reputation as representatives by
the American people. Their
shuffling and shifting policy in
regard to the Philippines by not
honestly declaring themselves
and their intentions, ought alone
to take fro m them the balance Of
power.

Is Chased by Spirits.

At Mena an unfortunate man
who gives his name as George
Moore was found lying on the
floor of the old beard building on
the court square in helpless
condition Friday afternoon. An
examination showed that he was
a very sick man, both mentally
and physically. He is laboring
under the impression that the
spirit of dead man is torturing
him. On any other subject he is
perfectly sane. His story as he
told it to Mena Star reporter is
quite peculiar. He states that in
1898, while he was living in In
dianapolis he had a falling out
with his sweetheart, a girl named
Rose McIntire. After the mis-
understanding the girl committed
suicide. Moore says while he
regretted her death, he thought
little more of the matter until
seven weeks ago, while he was
going into New Orleans in box
car, the girl appeared to him and
larer a man, who claimed he was
sent by God to torture him.
Since that time Moore says this
pair of spirits have been with him
continually, and when he tries to
oppose their will he is thrown to
the ground and left in a helpless
condition.

Has Very Little 10 Do.

An exchange says the editor OF
country newspaper has no busi-
less to make mistakes. He has
10 business to ever get any thing
nto his paper that people do not
ike. He ought to know what
would suit each individual. He
bught to take an item and before
il is published let each person
whom it concerns censure it.
An editor has plenty of time to do
this, as all he has to do is to hunt
lup news and clean rollers, set
type, clean the floor, pen short
items, hustle advertising, fold
papers, make paste and mail pa
pers, talk to visitors and dis
tribute type, carry water, read
proofs and correct mistakes and
hunt up subscribers, dun delin-
quents, take cussings. These
are only the little things, my
friend, an editor has to do and he
ought never to make any mis-
takes.
