PRETEND TO SELL PARDONS Governor Savage Discovers His Nameo is Used to Further Praud. SENATOR HARRISON DENIES THE DEAL Teachers Come to the City In Foree and Are Meeting with & Cordial Reception — Saperintend- ents In Seasion. (From a_ Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dee. 30.—(Special.)—Governor Bavage has learned during the last few days that & new scheme to defraud has been successfully worked and his name unknown to him, has been usod in conne tion with the frauds The scheme is worked by claim to have much influence with governor and who for a certain price agi to get parties out of th» penitentiary by the pardon route. Dnring the last week four parties who have relatives in the state prison have notificd the governor that the | there i parties who | al | | they had paid from $4 to $25 to men who | for the fee agred to secdre pardons The relatives called to see why no action had been taken. No application had been filed with the gbvernor for the pardons “1 bave recclved a letter from a poor woman who his & son in the penitentiary sald the governor, “asking why I had no taken some action on her son's appeal f clemency. She states that she paid $2 several months ago to a Lincoln lawyer for the purpose of securing his release. I bave never seen the man and this is the | Wilkins of York first that I have heard of the case man cvidently took the fee without any Intention of making any return for it Within the last two days I have received three other similar letters from persons who have been defrauded out of their money by unscrupulous persons. The old woman who wrote the first letter is fully 70 years old and yet some scoundrel has the hardihood to take her money on the pretense that he is able to influence my Judgment.” 4 The governor waxed wrathy in discuss- ing the frauds that are being perpetrated and wanted it distinctly understood that meritorious case would be just as care- tully looked into when presented by a Poor man as by a man of influence or a lawyer. Harrison Not in Deal. The Harrison of Grand Island, who is a can- didate for the position of president pro tem. of the senate, has disclaimed all con- nmection with the compact which was de- signed to consign the ghost of the D. E. Thompson controversy to.the governor The compromise contemplated the selection of Harrison, one of his strongest opponents at one end of the house, and Mockett, one of his most active supporters, as the speaker of the house. ‘The parties to this agreement, it {s ‘asserted, were the two great rallroads that have been fer years trylng jo dominate the politics of Ne- braska. Early In the contest, according to a prominent politiclan who was seen lo- night, an understanding was entered by which the Union Pacific wi to be repre- sented In the senate by the selection for president of Harrison of Grand Island, while Mockett as speaker of the house was to be a concession to the Burlington In- terests. The proposition now is to dis- eipline the recalcitrant Mr. Harrison by leaving him out of the calculations and taking up another man. At all events, the original understandiog will be insisted upon so far as it concerns Mr. Mockett. During the last few days the situation has clarified somewhat and the claim s (I‘eelyl de that all of representatives from e South Platte district will come into Hne for Mockett, with the possible excep- ton of Seward county. Perry of Furnas. De les Dernlier of Cass and Sweezy of Blue Hill are all ¢laiming the support of their own delegations, but in no case are these delegations vory large, and with the North Platte representatives supporting two candidates both rather strong, it is quite probable that the first ballot in the | cauous may show Mockett in the lead. Stuefer Buying Warrants, State Treasurer Stuefer expended $38 401 Monday in the purchase of warrants issued | of 140 and which has done much for the ! & few weeks ago In the payment or the temporary school fund appertionment.

Four roads, according to the News' in- formant, will be included in the merger, the Jersey Central being now controlled by the Reading company. The plan for a coalescence, 1t is sald, has been in contem- plation for nearly a year, and has been held in abeyance owing to the Inability of the promoters to get possession of a ma- jority of the Lehigh Valley shares. The interested parties are particular to emphasize that the unification will not in- terfere with the individual management. The roads are not to lose their identity. The earnings will all flow into one treas- ury, which will pay expenditures, dividends and have charge of the fiscal part of the companies generally.

As a rule, however, be- ford.Peruna ia resorted to, several other remedies have been‘tried in vain. A great many of the patients-have taken local treat- ment, submitted themselves to wsurgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without any result. The reason of so many failures is .the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are ot FEMALE TROUBLE [ commoniy rec- ognized as be- NOT RECOGNIZED Jine causea by catarrn. AS CATARRH, These organs are lined by mucous membranes. Any mucous membrane is subject to catarrh. s Catarrh of one organ is exatly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh. Most of the women affiicted with pelvic diseases have no idea that their trouble is due to catarrh. The majority of the people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head alone. | | This is not true. Catarrh {s llablée to |attack any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, 'kidneys, and especially the pelvic organs. Many & woman has made this discovery |after a long slége of useless treatment. She has made the discovery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna can be relied upon to cure catarrh wherever located. Mies Florence Murphy, 2703 Avenue, Seattle, Wash., writes I suffered for over a year with female trouble, and although I tried several physi- clans, nove of them seemed able to help me permanently. ~ ““It took only a little 6ver three battles ot Peruna to make me well and strong. I never have backache, headache or bearing down pains any more.”—Miss Florence Murphy. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West Twenty-Third Street, Minneapolis, Minn., as follow: “I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side, It inter- fered often with my domestic ‘and soclal duties and I naver supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor’s medicine did not seem ' to help me any. “I took Peruna faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that 1 am entirely cured.
