An Innoeuous Smoke.

In an article on the hygiene of smo
king published in the Munich Medical
Weekly Dr. J. Bamberger says that
the injury which may follow the use
of tobacco differs with the manner of
smoking. Those who use a mouth
piece, or if not are careful not to keep
the end of the cigar saturated With
saliva, are much less apt to suffer
from the absorption of the various
products of the burning tobacco.
Dry smokers" run much less risk
of harming themselves than those
who chew the ends of their cigars. DR.
Bamberger suggests that a bit of alb
sorbent cotton saturated with chlor
ide of iron be placed in the holder,
and he claims by doing this some of
the harmful products of combustion
are rendered innocuOus.

NEBRASKA BANK LAW
AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS IN De.
TENSE OF SAME.
Mr.. WILSON ISSUES An APPEAL
Railway Commission Moving in the
Matter Of Getting Physical Value
of Nebraska Railroads.

Representative Wilson, after an in

uey general. has issued an appeal to
all Of the state bankers to assist in
raising fund to employ special coun.
sci to aid the attorney general in the
defense of the bank guaranty law,
provided it is taken into the courts,
as has been threatened.
He calls attention to the fact that
the executive committee of the state
bankers association is Gathering a
bitterly hostile attack in the courts
upon the guaranty law, enacted in pur-
suance of the peoples verdict at the
last election, and while ne says that
he favOrs a speedy decision on the
constitutiOnality of the law, he thinks
1t should be conducted in a friendly,
rather than hostile, spirit.
He says that the best legal talent
will be employed against the bill and
adds: While the attorney general
is in hearty sympathy with the law
and will give the best service to its
UNFOLDING he has expressed his recog-
milton of the fact that the many o-her
important duties of his Office deny him
the time necessary to properly meet
the formidable array of counsel that
will be against HIM"
He includes in his letter a copy of
a letter that was sent to him and sug-
gests the following of the plan en-
bodies in it. The letter follows:
Bank of Boyd County, Butte, April
10.-Mr. v. E. Wilson, Stromsburg,

right the officers of the Nebraska
Bankers association have to start a

bers of the association This bank
does not wish to be placed in the
light of resisting the law, and further
more, we would like to be one of the
hundred banks in favor of the law to
contribute SO to fund of 81 900 to
hire the best legal talent possible to
defend the law. l herewith enclose
draft for SO for this purpose. If you
consider this practical idea you can

TURKS TAKE THE CITY

TO ARMY OF INVESTMENT.
THE SULTAN IS A PRISONER
Guard Around His Palace Replaced by
Troops From the Constitutional
Army.

Constantinople.-Th constitutional
forces are in complete control of the
capital. The sultan is practically a
prisoner in the Yildiz palace. His
formal submission has not yet been
given, but he and the troops with him
are at the mercy of the army Of occu.

Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, the com.

desires to finish the work without fur
Their bloodshed.- He is in negotiation
with the sultan's representatives and
has extended the period, of grace with.
In which the sultan must make his
final decision. The Yildiz Kiosk may
J be rushed during the night, for some
5000 infantry are disposed within a
mile and half of the palace.
What disposition will be made Of
the ruler of the empire when he is in
the hands of the constitutiOnalists is
unknown to the embassies. although
the opinion is held in authoritative
quarters that he will continue as the
nominal constitutional executive with
a ministry responsible to parliament
Complete tranquility prevails in the
city at the present moment, but
anxious looks are cast in the direction
of the Yildiz because of the refusal of
part of its garrison to submit General.
Schefket is concentrating large forces
near this point. Troops have been
pouring in since noon and several bat
teries have been planted on the neigh
boring heights. But it is feared that
the task of capturing this we'll guard
ed stronghold may be extremely diff
cult owing to it's excellent defensive
position and the thorough prepared
ness of the garrison.
The other positions already cap
tured by the investing army were not
provided with artillery. which gave
the assailants an immense advantage,
since they were able to shell the bar
racks without reply from artillery.
The Yildix garrison not only pos
sesses artillery, but it is believed that
the neighborhood is mined. Apparent
ly General Schefket and the other
leaders of the Saloniki troops are
anxious to avoid further bloodshed,
hence their desire to give the sultan
and his advisors good time for con-
sideration.
The sending forward of the advance
posts of the Saloniki army to within
two and one-half miles of the palace
foreshadowed the attack on the city
which began at o'clock Saturday
morning. The bridges had been
picketed and small parties of cavalry
reccoitered the ground.
Constantinople.-Th Yildiz garri-
son surrendered Sunday to the consti-
tutionalists. The commanders of
these battalions began sending in
their submission to Mahmoud Schef-
ket Pasha Saturday night and the
whole of the troops protecting the
palace gave their formal and uncon-
ditional surrender hOrtly after dawn.
