Judge Renders Important Decision.

BEATRICE, Neb.. Feb. Especial y
Judge I.etton handed down an important
decision in the district court yesterday aft
ernoon in the Holmesville school case, be-
cause it not only establishes the fact that
q school director. like any other, may be
elected by plurality vote, but it re-
verses the opinion of State Superintend-
ent Fowler and County Superintendent
stallor upon that point It appears that W.
b Bishop. was elected school director OF
district No 90 by a plurality vote, but Mr..
Smith refused to recognize him, declaring
that it took a majority vote to elect. Mr..
Bishop brought suit in the district court to
determine who was rightfully elected di-
rector, and the decision OF Judge Letton
sustains the theory that a school director
may be elected by a plurality vote, and
decides that Bishop is the regularly elected
director. The Holmesvllle neighborhood
has taken a hand in the fight ever since
the case was started in the courts. and il
is thought the decision OF Judge Letton
will settle the matter. Nine lawyers were
employed in the trial OF the case.

LINCOLN. Feb. 3.-The labor unions of

will be submitted to the legislature soon
after it meets next Monday. providing for

nature. They look
like ordinary sores and are usually treated
as such, some simple salve, wash or powder
being used in the hope of drying them up
and stopping the discharge; but while the
place may temporarily scab over, it again
inhames and testers, becoming as bad
or worse than ever. After awhile the
deadly poison begins to eat into the sur
rounding flesh and the sore spreads with
frightful rapidity. Then the sharp shoot
ing pains, which distinguish the cancerous
from the common ulcer, are felt, and the
unfortunate patient is brought face to face
with the most dreaded of all maladies, a
cancerous ulcer.
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow in
healing it should be closely watched, par
ticularly if there is an inherited predispo-
sition to cancer. Often times a malignant,
stubborn ulcer starts from a boil, wart,
mole, bruise, blister or pimple and at last
develops into cancer. For when the blood is
tainted and the germs and seeds of cancer
are implanted in the system, you cannot
tell when nor where the deadly poison is
going to break out.
S. S. S. cures these cancerous ulcers and
chronic sores, by driving out of the system
all the morbid and unhealthy matter that
keeps the ulcer irritated and discharging.
II purihes and strengthens the blood, en-
abling it to throw off the germs and poisons,

appropriated money for the erection
OF Continental hall, instead of allowing
the FUNDS for the creation of that in
stitution to be raised by private sub
scription. HI. B. f. MacFarland, pres
ident of the board of commissioners
of the District of Columbia, also spoke.
He deprecated the plea for congress
sional support for the memorial hall
as tending toward retrogression of

An interesting feature Of today's ex-
ercises was the raising of a flag on
the site of the proposed Continental
hall at Seventeenth and d streets
northwest. This occurred at the con-
ton of the day. When adjournment
was announced Mrs. Fairbanks, leaning
on the arm Of Gen. Warfield, and fol-
lowed by the national officers and dele
gates to the D. A. R., and members of
the Sons Of the American Revolution
and the guard of minute men, proceed
ed to the site of the new building,
where had been erected the historic
Hagstaff which had been used at the
inauguration of President Mckinley.
The flag was attached to a rope in
the hands of Mrs. Fairbanks and with
a hip, hip hurrah, it was hoisted aloft.

Mrs. Fairbanks announced that the
house of representatives had today
passed bill eXempting the property
including the proposed hail. from tax
alton, which would result in saving of
probably $500 annually to the asso-
citation. The statement was received
with cheers. Tonight the members of

gress, where Mrs. Fairbanks held re-
ception for several hours.
In perpetuation of the fame of the

Transplanted from nursery in Mas

lively that the articles were not those

not so positive as whether the articles
wer the same. Representative of two

tracing every movement of the pack
age from the time it was turned over
to them. Messrs. Gowdy and Kelly

later Mr.. Gowdy requested the ap-
praisers to submit tomorrow a written
appraisal of the value Of the articles
shown today. The investigation will
be continued for several days.
