ern Pacific companies and that the end
ing of the litigation is only part of a gen
eral movement for the Improvement Of
the stock market. While nothing can be
learned in Cincinnati of the terms of the
settlement between the contending inter
ests, it Is generally believed that there
has been such an agreement as to secure
in harmonious management the control
of the transcontihental trade of the en-
tire country.
The case of Talbot ]. Taylor and others
to restrain the voting of stock held by
the Union Pacific Railway at the annual
election of the Southern Pacific Company
was to-day formally dismissed in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals

New York. 1t is now understood that the
Southern Pacific election, which has been

ter next, at Beechmont, a suburb of
Louisville, which is the legal headquarters

Hon. Charles Wooster Points out
Objections to Pending
Measures.

SILVER CREEK. Neb., March l6.-To
the editor OF The Bee: Some time ago
you were kind enough to publish a let
ter from me on tire bridge question and
based on two bills then and now pending
before the legislature. One has passed the
senate, and the other. II. r. 1l2. has passed
the house, and is now in the hands Of the
senate. In regard to this bill l wish a
word further. | do not expect to influence
the action OF the senate in this matter, but
the people should know, even II members
of the legislature do not and they some
times don't, what the legislature is doing
II one did not object TO raising the adver-
tising limit from 500 to $500. to which do
seriously object, II. r. l12 would appear
on the face OF IL, TO be a very good BILL
and 10 afford ample protection to the tax
payers. But, as a matter OF fact, 1t does
nothing OF the kind. II requires county
commissioners and supervisors TO adver-
tise for bids on all bridges that are to
cost $500 or over, but provides that they
may reject any and all bids and do the
work themselves on condition that they
do not make 1t cost more than the low

FINDS OWNER FOR THE WATCH
Contents of Buried Can Proves to
Have Been Stolen from
CHICAGO.

PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., March 16.-(Spe-
cial.)-While digging a posthole to join the
fence up to his barn, John Meyer, a farmer,
recently dug up an old tin can containing
several $40 bills. a gold watch and other ar
tcles. The watch was taken to a jeweler,
who cleaned and repaired 1t and found the
name and address of Carroll G. Morris,
Chicago, ILL.," engraved on the inside OF
the case. Having discovered this slight
clue, Mr. Meyer decided to try and investi-
gate still further, and accordingly wrote
letter to the postmaster In Chicago asking
IL he could give him any information as
to Mr.. Morris whereabouts, and also CIV
ing the facts in regard to the discovery OF
the watch. Mr. Meyer has received an
answer to his letter from Morris, in which
he gives a very accurate description OF the
watch, and also told how he had lost it.
Two years ago, he wrote, several other
young men and himself were enjoying a
bath in Lake Michigan and did not notice
that someone was going through their pock-
cts until they returned to the bank to dress.
Two other watches were taken. Mr.. Nor
ris prizes the watch very highly and has
made the finder such a liberal offer that
the watch will be sent to him. The $40
bills had no marks Of Identification and
the owner will probably never be found.

MEMPHIS, March 16.-The St. Francis
levee gave way late this Afternoon at Trices
Landing, Ark, and tonight the Mississippi
river is rushing through a three-q quarter
mile crevasse with a roar that can be heard
for miles. This is the first break near
Memphis, but the water is still rising at
a rapid rate and three other points on the
Arkansas levee are in a precarieus condi-
tion.
The rise today swept away the temporary
embankments at Trice's and tore the levee
itself from its foundation, giving a new
channel for the food. The break was of
such extent that the engineers realized the
hoplesness OF attempting to repair 1t and
1t was abandoned after the ends OF the
levees had been revetted with sand sacks
and stones to prevent further cutting away

vance OF the river tonight that reports
from these positions are awaited with dread
and IL will be no surprise IL a crevasse has
developed at each before tomorrow night.
The engineers OF the leyee board say
that the damage from the break will not be

La grippe has always been a peculiarly
fatal disease. Its -avages are not so alarm
ing as diphtheria, or so much dreaded as
smallpox, but its number OF victims are
greater than either.
Silentiy-insidiously- gathers in its
fearful harvest Of precious lives. 1t does
not spread from man to man like a con-
tagious disease, nor does 1t belong to
limited localities like malaria. 1t is in
the air every where. 1t is Of climatic origin.
No man can escape from 1t, no woman is
safe from 1t.

La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.


La grippe is acute catarrh excited by
peculiar climatic conditions. It sweeps
across a continent in a single week, like the
blizzard Of winter or the hot wave OF
summer. 1t does not depopulate whote
villages like the black plague. nor desolate
a home like malignant dipheria. but It
counts its single victims here and there
incessantly night and day. week after
week.
since 1850 DIR. Hartman
Has passed through four or FIVE epidemics
OF la grippe. During all this time he has
conducted an extensive practice of medi-
cine. Few III any physicians prescribe
for so many patients. His experience in
climatic diseases has been simply prodl-
gious.
Thousands Of patients are continually un-
der his directions, either personally Of by
correspondence. The Doctors fame in
treating la grippe is known from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
The Doctor believes that he has never yet
lost case Of la grippe, and is enthusiastic
in the conviction that he never will.
DIR. Hartman'S Remedy.
The remedy upon which the Doctor has
relied for the cure Of la grippe for over forty
years is Peruna. Peruna is a scientific ca
tarrh specific. 1t cures catarrh, whether
acute or chronic.
La grippe is simply acute catarrh,

North, South. East and West, is taxing the
utmost facilities Of the drug trade, which
sometimes RACES as an epidemic.
The present epidemic of la grippe will
increase this demand four-fold.
The resources for the manufacture OF
Peruna are not unlimited. This extraor-
dinery demand may exceed the possible
supply OF 1t.
Every ypersOn,especiRl1y every family,
Should provide themselves at once with a
supply Of this well-tested remedy for la
grippe.
Peruna has been the regular prescription
of DR.. Hartman for over forty years. Il
has become the safeguard OF thousands OF
households In the midst of this epidemic
no one should fail to take a dose of Peruna
before each meal to guard against the
possibility of an attack
Those stricken with the disease should
begin with teaspoonful doses Of Peruna
symptoms subside, after which two tea
spoonful before meals will be sufficient to
continue the treatment until complete
recovery.
II you do not derive prompt and salts

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
