MORE NEBRASKA VERSE,

Mr.. Allan D. May, of the Falls City
Journal, one of our most highly priced
exchanges, has sent us a little pam
phlet containing a number of the
short poems that he occasionally con-
tributes to that paper; and which we
have often laid aside to republish for
our readers pleasure, though we are
not sure that we have always succeeded
in carrying out our intention. We
thank Mr.. May for the compliment,
and will keep his little book, along
with some others that the Nebraskan
of the future may be glad to turn
back to some day.
We have read this collection over
rather carefully, and are decidedly
pleased with the result We find the
verses mechanically correct, and we
like their contents. Mr.. Mays
thought is always dignified; he is not
a humorous poet-still less, thank
heaven, dialect poet. We notice in
his work what we have observed in
other Nebraska verse-writers of the
day; a distinctly devout flavor here
and there, tint of religion of the
old fashioned kind. This symptom
of the working of the minds of our
bright people no doubt has it's signifi-
canoe.
If we were to criticize, we might
suggest that possibly the metres which
Mr.. May selects do not always har-
monize most happily with the ideas
he proposes to transmit by their
means.

skillful in healing the wounds and
diseases of the body. Would it not be
grand for physicians Of the soul to
study the anatomy and physiology of
the universe in order to get at the
source of all growth and all healing?
The earth is alive. It is full of en-
ergy as our systems are full of vigor.
Our life is part of universal vivac-
ity.
The old theologians called God,
actus purus, "a perfect activity in
a perfect life. Are not the doc
tors of divinity bound to search out
the channels through which this per-
fection flows to man? There is too
much reverting to so-called begin
ming not enough looking abroad upon
the grandeur of Gods works, and in
vestigating the theory of his great
system.
l suppose that every person is more
or less a prophet. I never knew one
who had not, at some time, in some
way, received a presentiment of an
event which afterward took place.
All animals are prophets. Often I
have observed hogs, on a clear day,
busy making lairs, and within twelve
hours the storm came.
Foresight is as natural as memory,
but it has not been SO fully cultivated.
Memory is strengthened by reitera-
tion. Foresight by reasoning from
cause to effect.
There is Cosmic Consciousness,
knowing either the past or future,
through sympathy of the different
parts Of the "topan." There has been
so much fraud practiced in this di-
rection that it has produced general
incredulity, which is much better
than stolid acceptance without inves-
tigation. Doubt coupled with desire
to know will eventually disclose the
simple truth. AS the world is steadily
advancing, if it be possible to COM
municate with spirits Of persons long
dead, it is not advisable, as it would
only lead us away from the clearer
light of the present and immediate
future. Far better commune with
the Supreme Intelligence in the study
of the laws which point out the path
which leads to the next higher plane.
First, find the facts, then find
scheme to fit;
Join each to each, as you perceive
them now;
Thus, lay the plan, enlarging, just
bit,
Scan we'll each step, regarding why
and how;
Weigh we'll the solid things, as earth
and man;
The shadows will arise when light
appears

CITY WINS ALL BUT
TWO APPEAL CASES
TWenty-0n Decisions Handed
Down by the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court.

The Appellate Division to-day handed
down twenty-one decisions in city cases.
OF which nineteen were n the city't
favor. In only one case was the city
entirely defeated; that of the New York
Central Railroad Company against
Thomas l.. Feitner and others as Com
m%issioners of Taxes. 1t involved a tech
meal question as to h right of the
city to tax certain railroad property
peculiarly situated.
In the case OF the people ex rel Healy
against Partridge. there is n partial VIC
tory for the city. Healy. who was q
policeman. was dismissed by Commits
sloner Murphy. He did not ask TO be
reinstated until last January, and the
courts hold that while he Is entitled
to be ~reinstated. he must waive as a
condition for this. his right to all claim
to salary from the time he was dropped
from the rolls to the date OF his appli-
cation for reinstatement.
Several important cases relating to
the reinstatement OF city employees, in
Guiding several police cases have been
decided in favor of the city.
Corporation Counsel Rives considers
most important the case Of Patrick
Downs against the city. 1t was a test
case. and affects nearly 700 others. The
plaintiffs were sweepers in the Street
Cleaning Department OF Brooklyn. They
claimed they had been illegally de-
prdved OF their wages by the action OF
the STRENGTHENING Commissioner In
1900 and 1901 In requiring them TO take
one day or every week under a leave
OF absence granted them at their re-
quest.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms Of a Very Common TrouS:e ,

symptoms OF q Very Common Trouble
There is no disease SO common In the
United States as Catarrh. because It appears
in so many forms and attacks 30 many dif-
ferent organs.
1t is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of the mucous membrane,
wherever located, accompanied by abnormal
secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh Of stomach
or bladder or intestines is nearly as COM
mon as nasal catarrh and much more Sc
rious, although II is true that stomach ca
tarrh and catarrh of other internal organS
Is the result of neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems TO be remark
ably effective in promptly curing catarrh,
wherever located. The preparation is sold
by druggists generally under name Of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and, in addition to
being very palatable and convenient. pos
sesses extraordinary merit. In many cases
giving immediate relief from the coughing.
hawking and constant clearing Of the throat
and head. those symptoms with which every
one is familiar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catnrrh is simply a continuation Of these
symptoms until the trouble becomes chronic
and grows gradually worse from year to
year.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed Of
Hydrastin. Red Gum and similar antlseptiCa
and catarrh specifics. from which II will be
seen that no secret is made of the ingre-
dents and also that no mineral poisons are
used. as is the case with many ~well-known
catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes. for catarrh of stomach. intestines or
bladder, no preparation is SO safe and gives
such rapid and permanent results as Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 5Oc. for full sissd
package. You can use them with assurance
that you will not contract the cocaine or
morphine habit. as the results from this
. days use.
