These names are furnished by the county clerks to the secretary of state, who has a roster of the same printed every two years. License Fees for Peddlers. A bill will be introduced in the senate tomorrow by Senator Arends of Otoe county, providing for the licensing of peddlers. The bill provides that peddlers plying their vocations outside of the limits of a city or town within any county in the state shall pay, for the use of sald county, an annual tax of $25; those with a vehicle drawn by one animal, $50; those with two or less than four animals, $75; those with four or more animals, $100, but the board of county commissioners of any county may remit the tax where it is shown that the articles to be sold arc educational in nature, but not to apply to parties selling thelr own work or productions either by themselves or employes, mor to persons selling fruit, produce, trees or plants ey clusively. The measure provides that a certificate of llcense shall be issued to any such peddier by the county clerk, upon the presentation of a recelpt showing the pay- ment of the proper tax to the county treas- urer, and such certificate or license shell be good only In the county where lssued and ghall not authorize peddling in cities and towns. The bill is one intended to do away with itinerant peddlers throughout the state and is for the protection of the retail dealer and consumer. An attempt was made to pass a similar bill two years ago, but owing to objectionable clauses which it contained It was defeated. Senator Ar- ends thinks he has eliminated the objec- tlonable features and is confident of the passage of the bill, which has the support of the retailers throughout the entire state.

Willlam Rhea, the leader of the three men held for the murder of Herman Zabn, is rapidly recovering from the effects of his wounds and by the time his trial comes up in February will be well again. The two wounds in his leg still trouble him and have to be dressed every day or two. The in the side causes him little incon- venlence.

He talks and laughs every-day occurrences, apparently untroubled by the possibility that his life will be his penalty if convicted The confinement and anxiety is beginning to tell on the other two. The officers are of the opinion that Darrell is a recent ac- quisition to the gang and that the Zahn murder Is the first crime in which he has with them.

AGAINST GROUT BILL (Continued from First Page.) General Castleman said the American saddle horse surpasses in gait, style and endurance all other horses and is the most serviceable war horse. General Castleman offered a resolution for the uniform assess- ment of stock in aMl ‘the wtates. The reso- lution was carrled. C. E. Hindekoper of Pennsylvania read king that congress pass a law au- thorizing the exchange of government lands with bona fide settlers, 80 as to solidify their holdings.

Fred Bauman of Hutchinson was appointed clerk on the public health committee. Senators Loomie, Williams, Gunderson, Johnson of Hamlin, Mauch, Few, Whitlock, Leach, En- gelsby, Bennett and Rowe were appointed a committee on the Buffalo and St. Louls ex- positions, which committee, with the house committee, will meet with the Business Men's assoclation to discuss action. Senate bills introduced® were: To compel rallroads to fence tracks along enclosed flelds; making compensation of county com- missioners $5 per day and 6 cents per mile, with a $300 yearly limit, and appropriating $12,600 for bulldings at Madison Normal school. The bl to license billposters and distrib- utors was passed.

Want Immigra n Comminsstol A committee of the Business Men's as- sociation addressed the exposition and ap- propriation committees of both houses to- night. The addresses were made by John H. M. King, J. M. Greene, C. M. Harrison and G. W. Albee. They made strong pleas for the exhibits at Buffalo and St. Louls, but devoted most of their energies toward impressing the committees with the neces- sity of an immigration commissioner to set forth the resources of the state and work to secure settlers for the state. It is hardly probable that they will secure the desired office. The Business Men's association re elected their old officers today: John Mar- tin of Watertown, president; C. M. Harri- son of Sloux Falls, secretary, and M. P.| Beebe of Ipswich, treasurer. Do you wart a stenographer? A want ad will secure you one. Bee CRIP IS EPIDEMIC! Grip is everywhere. The papers tell us there are two million Americans now suffering with “grip” (or La Grippe, as the doctors call ft) and what is worse it is more violent in its character than in the past, as a much greater percentage of victims are dying from its effects. Grip attacks the old and the young, the hard workers and the people of leisure, the rich and the poor, everybody in fact, whose system is not {n perfect order. If the bowels are constipated or trregular, the Kidneys are ailing, the blood impure, the liver torpid, the digestion weak or disordered, it pro- duces a condition very favorable to “grip,” and such people are its victims. A little care will render the body proof against attack; that is to say, the impuri- ties in blood, liver and bowels can be driven out through the use of Prickly Ash Bitters, the great rem- dy for cleansing and regulating the system. This eplen- did remedy purifies the bowels, strengthens the kid- neys, renovates th2 liver and blood and tones up the digestive organs. Tn short, it prevents “grip” by put- ting the system 10 good condition. And ae a help, in cases where the disease har already fastened itself on the body, there is nothing better. It flushes the sew- ers of the body and stimulates the vital organs so that nature is assisted to more quickly throw off the dis- ease. Bold at Drug Stores.
