Another recommend from a Catholic in
stitution of one of the central states writ
ten by the sister superior, reads as fol-
lows:
"A number of years ago our attention
was called to DR.. Hartman's Peruna, and
since then we have used 1t with wonderful
results for grip. coughs. colds and ca
tarrhal diseases Of the head and stomach.
For grip and winter catarrh especially
it has been of great service to the inmates
Of this institution"
SISTER SUPERIOR.
A prominent mother superior writes:
81 can testify from experience to the efi-
cacy of Peruna as one of the very best
medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add
my praise to that of thousands who have
used 1t.
For years I suffered with catarrh Of
the stomach, ell remedies proving value
less for relief. Last spring l went to
Colorado. hoping to be- benefited by a
change of climate, and while there a friend
advised me to try Peruna. After using
two bottles l found myself very much i'm
proved. The remains OF my old disease
being now SO slight, ! consider myself
cured, yet for a while l intend to continue
the use of Peruna.

After Two Years stay I'm


HASTINGS, Neb.. Feb. Especial Tele-
gram.J-when Burlington passenger train
No. 3 reached Hastings tonight it carried
a part Of a human body on the front trucks
Of the second sleeper. When the remains
were removed It was found to be the chest
and one leg of a man. There was not a
stitch Of clothing on the portion Of the body
and only q part OF a shoe was on the limb.
A search down the track revealed small
pieces Of flesh scattered along for a quar-
ter Of a mile. The head and arms we're
found a quarter Of a mile from the depot,
scattered along about thirty feet apart.
As yet nothing has been found to identify
the body, but Policeman Widmie was
aboard No. 3 and he is Of the opinion that
the remains are those OF David Nicholson,
who was on his way home to Kenesaw,
Neb., after an absence OF two years in
Oklahoma. Mr.. Widmier says that he was
talking to Nicholson about ten minues be-
fore the train reached Hastings and that
as Mr.. Nicholson was under the influence
Of liquor he offered his assistance and
Nicholson accepted. but said he had to frst
get some things from another car. That
was the last seen OF Nicholson. The re-
mains we're so badly mutilated that Il is
almost impossible to recognize them. but
1uus"b hOm ~ zap q pair Vi glasses
and small pieces of clothing found Mr..
Widmier seems confident that It was David
Nicholson who met such a horrible death.
Coroner Chapman, in gathering up the
remains, found half OF the head in a snow
bank, together with a few other scattered
pieces Of the body, and took them to an
undertaker's establishment. II seems that
the man was about so years old, had a
gray beard. wore glasses and had on dark
clothes. The inquest will be held in the
morning.

NORTH BEND, Neb.. Feb. $40 the
Editor of The Bee! l notice in your paper
a Communication from people at West
Point and Nebraska City on the question
Of good roads.
l would say to those interested in hav-
ing good roads that the trouble is not all
in the present road law. While II is far
from perfect, still every time the ;egis-
lature gives II a turn they only leave the
matter in worse shape than before, so 1t
Is not best to lose too much time looking
toward the state house to build roads, as
roads cannot be built without money, push
and perseverance. s.
Dodge county is under township organ
ization. About ten years ago the people
OF Cotterall and Union townships conceived
the idea that they would be better with
one road overseer in each township than
with three, and they petitioned the super
viscrs to have this done. Since that time
one man in each township has looked after
the work Of keeping the roads smooth.
but the people did not stop at this, for each
township purchased a road machine and
four lead teams and relied on the poll tax
fer pushers.
/ feel safe In saying that the two ma
chimes have made at least 200 miles of good
road grades in their own and neighborine
townships, which adds very much to the
trade OF our city, and this was all brought
about without asking the legislature Ia
amend the present road laws.
We ind that the only way to get good
roads and to keep them good is for the
people to take of their coats and go after
them and keep after them, for there Is nc
use in making roads unless they are kept
in good condition, which can be done only
by having one road overseer in a town
chip.
Any person wishing information on the
question Of good roads and how to keep
them good will do we'll to drop OF al
North Bend and look at our roads and
learn how It was all brought about.

Telephone Company Cuts Trees.

FREMONT. Neb.. Feb. 6.-(Special)-
The Fremont Telephone company is having
some trouble with people here over trim
ming trees. The new company's wires are
many OF them thirty-hve feet above the
ground. This brings them we'll into the
tops Of the larger trees and in order to put
in the wires compels them to practically
cut out the top of the tree. This method
Of trimming. while necessary in order to
string the wires. ruins the looks OF the trees
especially ash and elms. Several prop
erty owners have forbidden the company
to trim the trees opposite their lots, and as
II will have to be done in order 10 put up
the wires II is probable that an injunction
cult may be started on account Of the tsle-
phone business. The Bell company put an
additional fierce Of men at work today. and
while they are undoubtedly loosing some
business. are putting in some new teie-
phones.

These are samples OF letters received by
DR.. Hartman from the various orders Ct

States.
The names and addresses to these letters
have been withheld from respect to the
Sisters, but will be furnished upon request.
In every country OF the civilized world
the Sisters Of Charity are known. Not
only do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs OF those with whom they
come in contact. but they also minister to
the bodily needs. They are skilled as
trained nurses in their treatment Of dis
ease and are looked upon as messengers Of
good cheer by countless patient sufferers.
One-half the diseases which afnict man

ment of the mucous membrane lining som

that would act Immediately upon the con-
gested mucous membrane, restoring 1t to

all these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh

FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF GIRL
Foster Parents Separate, hut Each
Desires to Have the Care
of Her.

TARKIO. Mo, Feb. 6.-(SpeeiaI.)-One OF
the most interesting habeas corpus cases
ever known in this county has just come
to a close. TIE contest was to determine
who should have control of a girl by the
name OF Holloway, who has been living
with Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.. Gillette OF this
place for several years, deserted by her
father, whose Whereabouts seems to be
unknown.
A divorce is now pending between Mr..
and Mrs. Gillette, IN which each makes
criminal charges against the other. Zach
wanted charge OF the little girl, or rather
did not want the other to have charge Of
her.
Judge Gordon settled the matter by turn
ing the child over to A. L. Bristow. who
had signined a willingness to take her.
Mrs. Gillette says that she will appeal
the case to the circuit court.

TERMS OF A NEW MERGER
I~nterchanRe of Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific and Rock Island
stock.

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-The principals in
the Rock Island. Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific deals have not yet issued an
oficial statement. nor is It likely that they
will do so until the agreement has been
ratified by their respective boards.
II may be stated on the best authority
that an extension Of the community-of-
interests contract has been entered into
and hat the Rock Island will share con-
troll OF the Houston & Texas Central road.
The terms include giving Rock Island
stock in part or whole payment for the
Houston & Texas Central stock bought. and
this presumably means that the Southern
Pacific, which is controlled by the Union
Pacific. will take an amount OF Rock Island
into tie treasury.
