(From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July . 11.—(8pecial.)—Calls were issued this afteruoon for meetings of the democratic and populist state cen- tral committees in this city on the after- noon of July 18. The two committees will meet separately, but may later in the day hold a joint session. The populists will select ‘a chalrman and secretary for thelr committee. A resolution was passed by the state conventions in Grand Island, making pro- vision for the organization of & joint cam- palgn committee to consist of a democrat and a populist from each congressional distriot. “I don’t know whether or not the joint committee will be organized,” said Charles Q. DeFrance, chairman of the populist committee, when questioned this afternoon. “The state committees may accept the idea and they may not. 1 can say, however, that we are going to have a campaign. Nothing else has beon decided thus far. There has been some talk recently ot re-establishing the democratic headquar- ters in Omaha.

Opinion on Pure Food: The opinjon of the supremeé court eu talning the pure food law was written by Judge Holcomb. The holding is: The provisions of the act of the legisla- ture of 1899, being chapter xxxv thereof, creating a food commission, making the governor food commiss oner, providing for the appointment of a deputy food commis- sloner and defining the dutfes of the officers 80 provided for, does not contravene the provisions of section 26, article v, of the constitution, wherein it {s declared: ‘‘No other excetittve state office shall be con- tinued or created and the duties now de- volving upon officers not provided for by this constitution shall be performéd by the officers herein created.” Nor does the act conflict with section article vill, of the constitution. declar “that no bill shall contain moré than one subject.” Where a part of an act has been declared invalid and the remainder is compléte and perfect in_all its parts and {s capable ot executlon 1t will' be-upheld and awforced unless it {8 apparent that the (nvalld part was an inducement to the adoption of the remainder. Held, that the part of the act under co siderafion relating to an attempted appro- priation for the salary of the deputy food commissioner, which has been declarad in- valid, was not an inducing element to the passage of the remainder of the act. The food commission law was passed by the legislature three years ago. One of the paragraphs of the biil, besides provid- ing for the appolntment’ of a deputy com- missioner, sought to make provision for the salary of the officlals and attaches of the department. The supreme court two years ago declared the appropriation fea- ture invalid because the paragraph con- talned more than ome subject. The error ‘was corrected by the last legislature, when separate provsipn.was: made for the sala- ries and expenses of the: departtent. Jury Overdid Things. The supreme court has decided against the young colored man, A. Worden Haynes, who prosecuted a suit for $2,600 damages ngainst the, proprietors of the Lindell hotel. His claim was based on the refusal of the defendants to allow him to ride on tho elevator in thelr Hotel.. In the district court of Lancaster county Hayn ered judgment for ‘$500. The supreme court reverses the order. The opinion is by Commissioner Barnes. The holding ot law is that in a sult for damages the giv- ing of an instruction which in substance informs the jury that if, from the evidence they find ‘for the plaintiff, they will fix his damages at ‘such sum, within the amount clalmed, which is $2,600, think he has sustained by reason of fact alleged in his petition, and which thus eliminates the consideration of the evi- dence In fixing the amount of recovery, is reversible error. As to this particular case the court holds that the verdict re- turned by the jury Is excessive. The question of the man’s color did mot enter info the consideration In the dectsion of thia case. - The judgment was reversed on two grounds, one befng that the court erred in giving the instruction referred to d the othier that the verdfct as feturned s excessive. Worden was an employe of the republican sate headquarters. He alleged In his pe- tition that the refusal of the hotel propri- etors to allow him to ride on thei deprived him of lucrative employment.

L A WELSH, Local Forecast Officlal BoBB832353853558E3 WORKING ON* CANAL TREATY Representatives of Twe Governments Busy Modifying the First Draft. TERMS ARE TO BE VERY DEFINITE United States to Exercise Police and Sanitary Control, but Colombia is Not to Lose Rights of Sovereignty. WASHINGTON, July 11.—With the ex- ception of signing the treaty by which Co- lombia will confer all the necessary rights incident to the building of the Panama canal by the United States government, Senor Concha, the Colombian minister; Mr. Herran, first secretary of legation, and Wil- llam Nelson Cromwell, representing the Panama Canal and Rallroad companies, are busily engaged in going over certain points In the treaty, which must be modified be- fore the Instrument can be signed. Nelther the State department nor the Co- lomblan officials here care to disclose the nature of the modifications which it has now become mnecessary to make in the treaty, but it is understood that all of them, either directly or indirectly, involve the question of sovereignty. The close study of the passing of the tsthmian canal act and the treaty presented the Colombian government develops appar- ently important differences and obscurities in the letter of the documents, which may not, however, exist in their spirit. For In- stance, section 2 of the camal act author- izes the president to acquire from Colombia “perpetual control of a strip of land * * *, which control shall Include * * jurisdiction over sald strip and the ports at the ends thereof, to make such polics and sanitary rules and regulations as shall be necessary to preserve order and preserve the public health thereon, and to establish such judicial tribunals as may. be agreed thereon as may be necessary to enforce such rules and regulations.” Rights of the United States. From this portion of the act it would ap- pear that the United States alone is to make police and sanitary regulations for the canal strip, and establish judiclal tri- bunals for their enforcement. Yet article 111 of the draft of the canal treaty provides for the creation of a “joint commission by the governments of Colombla and the United States that shall establish and en- force sanitary and police regulations.” Article iv of the treaty deals specifically with the question of sovereignty, as follows: The rights and privileges granted to the United States by the terms of this conven- tion shall not affect the sovereignty of the republic_of Colombia_ over the {erritory Whhin whose boundarfes such rights and provisions are fo be exercised. The United States freely acknowledges and recognizes this soverelgnty and dis- avows any intention to impair in any way whatever, or to Increase its territory at the expense of Colombla or of any of the sister republics in Central or S8outh’ America, but on the contrary it desires to strengthen the power of the republics on this conti- nent and then promote, develop and main- tain thelr prosperity and independence. Terms to Be Definite. Briefly summing up, it appears to be the task now before the partles to the pro- rosed convention to define with absolute clarity the extent and limits of control, or joint control, to be exercised over the canal strip. For while control is not sov- ereignty in the common sense of the term, yet in practice the two often merge so closely as to defy identification arml it has all along been recognized that any pro- vision of the treaty which threatens in any measure the sovereignty of the South American republic over the canal land will not be acceptable to the Colombian eon- been in poor health during the spring and summer and con- templates & journey out of town to re- cuperate in the near future. It is confi- dently hoped that the treaty may be signed before his departure. WESTERN MATTERS AT CAPITAL Orders Insued and Appointments M: in the Postal Serv- ice. (From a Staft Correspondent.)

FARM LANDS OF WYOMING Bulletin Issued by Census Depart- ment Shows Valuation and Refers to Need of Irrigation. WASHINGTON, July 1L—A bulletin issued by the census bureau today places the number of farms in Wyoming at 6.095.

Get a bottle of Peruna and take a table- spoonful between each meal and at bed- time. When you have continued this for thirty days sit down and write a letter to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O. Tell him exactly your symptoms; how long you have had catarrh; what effect the medicine ha had on you. He will answer your letter promptly telling you what to do further. He will make no charge. And if you will continue to write to the doctor you are sure to get cured. Some cases take longer than others. Perhaps the average length of time it takes to cure a genuine case of catarrh {s three months. Some get cured much quicker than this. Stubborn cases may require longen treatment. Time or trouble ought to be mo barrier to one afflicted with this dreadful disease. All people who are interested in know- ing about catarrh can get an instructively tllustrated 64-page book on chronic ca- tarrh in all stages and location, free of charge. J.

WASHINGTON, July 11.—The negotia tions mow in progress at the vatican re specting the friars and their lands will not fall. Of that the administration officials here feel certaln. It was realized at the beginning, when Governor Taft's instruc- tions were framed, that they represented the extreme of our clalms, and that they did not preclude the idea of reasonable compromise by mutual concessions. The negotiations are progressing in this spirit The United States government will not se- cure everything it desired, because, even it the pope were disposed to concede these things, the negotiations have developed the tact that although his power s theoretically unlimited, in actuality the internal politics of the vatican Impese condliions cven upon | tor | Henry Meyer, | Shaw is not a relative of the sccretary must observe.
