NEBRASKA POPULISTS
Mr. Mathew Comments on the Past, Pres
ent and Future of Nebraska
Populism

Editor independent: The time has
come when county committees are
getting together to call primaries and
conventions. 1t is therefore an ap-
propriate time for the populists of Ne
braska to analyze conditions as they
exist and to come to some conclusion
as to the causes of such conditions. 1t
would be readily admitted by an un-
prejudiced observer that the record of
the two parties while In control of
both state and counties is in favor of
the fusion officers be they democrats
or populists, as far as the average citi-
zen is concerned. The taxpayer has
been better served by the officers
elected by the reform parties than by
those of the republican party. There
are exceptions to this rule, of course.
1t is not my purpose now to arraign
our political opponents nor to criti-
else their public acts, but simply to
call attention to the general fact that
under the reform administrations
both the state and nearly all counties
that had the good fortune to secure
fusion officers, obtained more eco
nomical, cleaner and as rule more
competent public service than they
had received before. Why then did
the citizen and taxpayer last fall re-
vert. to and choose that party which
had given them an inferior service in

love and admire the man who dares to

Ensley, April 4.-(SpeciaL)-A the last meeting of the city council Mason H. Sherman and Charles H. Vaughn, the recently elected aldermen from the new Fifth ward, took the oaths of office which was administered to them by Mayor N. W. Scott. and at once entered upon the duties of their positions. The city council now consists of eleven members, and it is believed that the addition to the council of Messrs. Sherman and Vaughn will materially strengthen this body. The new Fifth ward covers a large and growing territory, and will need considerable leg islaton.
 Mason IT. Sherman was born in 1868 at Cazenovia, N. r., where he received thorough education in the public schools and later at the Cozenovia seminary. In 1890 Mr. Sherman graduated from Cornell university. Equipped with such thorough training, the subject of this sketch took

Why Don't You Get We'll!
If you'll ask for health you can have it.
 I'll supply the treatment-all the risk is mine. l am curing thousands while you waiting. It is your turn to get we-write me today.
The Remedy That Cures.

My Restorative differs from all other treatments. It is the result of my lifetime's study in learning how to strengthen the inside nerves. This remedy always brings back the nerve power which alone operates the vital organs. The result is like giving an engine more steam; the organ has power to do it's duty.
 The common way is to treat the weak organ-to tide over the difficulty till Nature restores the nerve power. But if the trouble is deep-seated, those methods fail And in any trouble whether trihing or severe-the right way and quickest way is to rectify the cause-to bring back the nerve power that Is weak.
 My Restorative always does that.

Rain Hurtinu Crops.

Continuous rains throughout the black belt section of Alabama are very serious ly troubling the planters. There is so much water in the ground that little blowing has been done within the past month. Those farmers who began pre- pairing their land in January are in fair ly good shape, as weather conditions were reasonably good during that month and the early part of February. Unless the rains soon cease it may result in de- creasing the average acreage through this section of the state.
 So far the oat and fruit crops are in fine condition. Fall oats are reported flourishing.
