 City. 3 1Gentlemen:-In reply to your inquiry as to the quality of goods, etc., furnished by you. begsto say that since the summer of 1897 you have filled perhaps 98 per cent. of the prescrip- tions written by me for the patients in my Sani- tarium. During the same period almost every thing used in the way of drugs and chemicals in my Sanatorium has been bought from you. I can not recall a single instance in which any thing but first class goods has been furnished me. I have never had to return anything, either in the way of prescriptions, drugs or chemicals by reason of defective quality. My dealings and associations with you have been, in every particular, entirely satisfactory.
 Very truly yours,

ings with him have always been perfectly sat- isfactory. A few years later I moved to Allan ta, and shortly after came here Jacobs Phar- macy was also removed to Atlanta. In my prac- tice I use large quantities of indigenous drugs. These have gathered for me by men who are thoroughly experienced and careful in their se- Lection. As for chemicals and pharmaceutical preparations I still deal with Jacobs Pharmacy, and from the acquaintanceship extending one quarter of century I unhesitatingly say that l can get articles from them promptly, satisfac- torily, and in many instances rare drugs and ap- pliances which can get from them seem to be unknown to the average druggist.
 I have personally gone through their labo- ratory and Prescription Department, and look upon 1t as model of neatness and excellence, and request my friends in the Eclectic profes- sion to give this firm trial when in need of anything in the drug line.

WILL BE ARMISTICE
TRUCE BETWEEN TWO ARMIES
IN THE FIELD.
According to Present Programme,
Their Commanders Will Meet
Important Details Will be Settled
at the Washington Conference.

Alone on the plains Of Manchuria,
the Russian and japanese commanders
will meet to sign the armistice which
will pave the way for the Washington
conference, if the present tentative pro
gram is followed. Exchanges Oh these
points are now in progress between To
kio and st. Petersburg via Washington.
but no final conclusion has been reached.
1t was first thought a preliminary pro-
tocol might be signed at Washington pro-
viding for n temporary cessation of hos
tilities, but in view of the fact that this
concerns directly the armies in the field.
1t is believed that the belligerents will
agree that the arrangement of the armis-
tice can be best entrusted to Linevitch
and Oyama, the respective commanders
I'm chief, who in such event would be tel
egraphed special powers to sign. The
time lint fol- the atui-tiCc IN; ut 1T
been fixed, but it will be comparatively
brief, that the progress Of the conference
may be assisted as much as possible.
Prior to the signing of the armistice
however, will come the official announce
ment of the Russian and Japanese pleni
potentiaries. Russia has indicated that
her mission will be headed by NJ. Nell
doff, the ambassador at Paris, and it is
understood that the emperor has request
ed Marquis Ito to head the japanese
mission, although the distinguished head
of the privy council, so far as it is known
ut Washington, has not finally accepted.
Only his health would cause him to de-
cline, in which event. Field Marshal
Yamagata probably would be selected in
his place. Neither country has suggested
the names of the other plenipotentiaries,
nor has the number finally been agreed
upon, although the belief is that there
will be three on a side
With Marquis Ito, it is believed, will
come one of the great statesmen of ia
pan, who has wide diplomatic experience,
and Minister Takahira, the Japanese
minister here, it is suggested. may be
named as the third plenipotentiary.
Another important detail which has
been the subject of informal discussion
at the White House has been the Ian
guage to be used at the conference. Rus
sia will ask that the French language be
used, and Japan will express i prefer
ence for English.

the Trail Of Max PlOehn.

Max Ploehn shot and killed his cousin,
Miss Alma Coos, and shot and seriously
wounded her sister, Emma. at their home
two miles south of Plattsmouth. ana
made his escape. He started in the direc-
ton of the Missouri River and is believ-
ed to be hiding in the bottoms or to have
drowned himself. The shooting is said
to have been the result OF jealousy.
Ploehn had been paying attentions to
both of the young ladies, neither OF
whom would accept him.
For the capture of Max Ploehn, the
murderer of Miss Alma Coos. Il total of
$500 is offered Of this amount the
state Of Nebraska will pay $500 and 500
will be paid by Cass County The an
nouncement of the reward has been the
means Of stimulating the efforts put forth
to effect the capture of the murderer.
The Beatrice bloodhounds arrived
Sunday night and were soon afterward
put on the murderers trail. The dogs
led the pursuing party directly to point
along the river bar. where fresh foot
prints We're discovered Sunday morning.
Here the trail ended and the searchers
felt convinced that plOehn either drown
ed himself at this point or waded down
the stream in the shallow water, after
ward returning to the Nebraska shore.
So far as known there was no boat at
this place with which the man could have
escaped.
Two of the best clews secured since
the murder was committed We're reported
early Monday morning. y young man
named Claude Gochenaur claims that
shortly after f o'clock Sunday afternoon
he saw from distance Il man answering
Ploehn's description. He was seen
passing through a field on G. \. Har-
vey's place, three miles from Platts
mouth. A measurement of the mans
footprints, taken soon afterward. Tailed
exactly with those found in the mud
along the river bank. Thomas Campbell
residing eleven miles south of Platts-
mouth. reports that he saw the same
man near his place about I O'Clock Sun
day evening. He did not get il close
view of the man, but from Il description
furnished him he believes that the man
was Ploehn. The bloodhOunds are now
at work on new clues. 1t is now be
heved that Ploehn is alive and that his
capture will be only question of i short
time.
PlOehn was captured near PlattSmOuth

SCANDAL IN CHICAGO.
Driscoll'0 Startling Disclosures Be-
fore the Grand Jury.

The greatest scandal Chicago has ever
seen, according to States Attorney Hea-
ley, is to follow the disclosures made
Thursday before the grand jury by }. >.
Driscoll, when the former secretary OF
the Associated Building Trades and Coal
Team Owners Association revealed the
entire history of the dealings between
employers and union labor leaders, par
ticularly that branch of union labor rep
resented by the Chicago Transfers Tn
ion.
States Attorney Healey said:
More serious offenses have been COM
mitted than bribery and conspiracy, and
the evidence presented to the jury has
been of an extremely sensational charac-
ter. 1t is very important, and will lead
to startling results. The names MENTION
ed by the witnesses are those OF promi-
nent men OH both sides"
John c. Driscoll Thursday was the
chief witness before the grand jury, ana
related what he called the dealings be-
tween the employers and union labor.
Driscoll told how the coal teamsters and
coal team owners had made the first
joint trade agreement, which provided
that the owners should employ only men,
bers of the Coal Transfers Union, and
that the members of the union should
work for no employer not member OF
the Coal Team Owners Association.
The effect of this arrangement, the wit
ness declared, was to force every coal
wagon owner into the Coal Team Own
ers' Association and every wagon driver
into the Transfers Union.
Driscoll took before the jury Thursday
several check books, which together with
the Cancelled checks are expected to prove
many of the charges made by him
against business men and labor leaders.
Driscol vas kept under surveillance
all night by a detective from the states
attorneys office. One of the reasons Civ
en- was to protect Driscoll from personal
violence. Another reason was to prevent
Driscoll from being influenced to leave
Chicago.
1t is reported that Driscoll arranged to
go away as soon as the grand jurors are
through with him. If he does it is prob
able he will have to supply heavy bond
for his appearance when wanted.
Should indictments be voted as the result
of Driscoll's exposure. he may be named
as co-conspirator, it is said, but not a
co-defendant, so that his presence at the
trial as the star witness will be douuly
insured.

NEARING THE FOCUS.
Choice Of a Place Now a Point IN
the Peace Plans.

Gradually the negotiations for peace
in the far east are nearing a focus, says
a dispatch from Washington. The one
ing directly concerned in them now are
being directed is the choice of a place for
holding the conference of the plenipoten-
tiaries eff the belligerent powers.
1t is known officially that three cities
now are under consideration by Russia
and Japan. These cities, named in the
order for the likelihood of their final Sc
lection, are Washington, The Hague and
Geneva.
Thus far no decision has been
reached.
Paris and London have been eliminat-
ed from the question. 1t is understood
that the Russian government objects to
an Asiatic city, its preference being for
some European capital. After object
ing to the holding of the conference i'll
Paris, the japanese government express
ed q willingness to consider places which
afforded adequate facilities. although it
is assumed that Japan's preference
would be some far eastern city, practi-
cally within the theater of war,
Finally. however, the selection seems
to have narrowed down to the three cit
les named. Objections have been made
by the Japanese to The Hague, but it is
not believed that these objections are
fundamental or unalterable. However.
as the situation now is, Washington APP
pears to be the city most likely to be Sc
lected. 1t can be said, on best authority,
that if the conference is held in the
United States, it will be in Washington.
No other place in this country has been
considered seriously.
An announcement of the selection of
the place of holding the conference is ex-
pected within a few days.
