VOTERS FAIL 10 RECISTER Last Opportunity Not Taken Adwantage of by & Large Number. DERELICT ONES NOT IN ANY ONE PARTY preme Court Orders Lanesster Bal. Jots Printed with Separate Cirele for Each of the Fusion Parties, From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 1.—(Special.)—The last day of registration here was, if anything, more disappointing than the uther two, @ue to some extent possibly to the ex- tremely Inclement weather, it having rained here continuously from early last night. Nelther party, however, can claim much advantage in the registration, for both will fall short of last year to a great tiumber. The per cent of fusionists who failed to come up is, however, greater than that of the republicans, so there is no re- “eing in that camp tonight. in the meantime most of the dctive work by both the republican and fusion head- quarters has been completed and all that reraains to be done is to draw in the lines that have been thrown out during the eampaign. The fusionists are elated be- cause it Is rainy, they claim, because ralny weather means that the pops will come to town, being willing to sacrifice a rainy day for the sake of the party. This beliet of the fusionists that all the pops live on farms may be well taken, but that does not mean, sald a leading repub- lican, that all the people living on farms are fusionists. In fact, during the last few years the great increase in the ranks of the republican party has come largely from the farms, and ff this rainy weather makes it impossible for a populist to work, thus giving him an excuse to conte to town, it will work the same way on the repub- lican farmer voter. Anyhow, the republicans are not uneasy whether it rains, pours or just stays dry. The state committee has done good work and the party is so well organized over the state that it will.be ready for any sur- prises the two-headed aggregation may try to spring. The work of the two com- mittees, of course, now will be devoted largely to getting the nonregistered voter to swear in his vote and as the time draws near it is predicted that many will do this. There is little excuse for any voter to stay at home, because not only have the ‘Sworkers been among these people, who al- ways vote, but they have done a good stunt among the stay-at-home men. Chairman Lindsay is not just yet issuing atement as to whether Judge Barnes' majority will be 10,000 or 15,000, but he is confident of success and he ought to be, for the reports recelved at the headquarters have been most flattering. Strange as it may seem Chairman Weber of the popullst headquarters is also confident, but he bases all his hopes on the wet weather, contrary to the national impression that democrats don’t like water. Divide Parties on Ticket, The supreme court, in extra session this afternoon, granted a peremptory writ of mandamus to James R. Farris and Milton Schwind to compel County Clerk Frye to divide the names of the populists and dem- ocratic parties on the official ballot, using the circle after each instead of placing them in brackets, as upon the sample ballot issued by Secretary of State Marsh. As soon as the writ was applied for yes- terday afternoon Mr. Frye gave an order for tickets with the names divided, having no intention of taking advantage of efther of the parties composing the fusion aggre- gation. The populists, however, refused to #top the proceedings and the supreme court had another opportunity to make a rullng. Just why the division is wanted in Lan- caster county does not appear, inasmuch an the parties are fused here and both have the republican district judicial nominees. Sugpiclous of Foul Play. Coroner Hawes of Falrbury was here to- day to have Dr. Nicholson of the State university examine the stomach of Jeft Bmith, who dled Thursday night under cir- cumstances that point to arsenic polsoning. Bo far as known there was no motive for the murder of Smith, but the attending physiclan was under the impression that he had been slowly polsoned with arsenic. A jury was empanneled by the coroner, but the verdict will not be arrived at until after the chemist makes his report. Smith ated a printing office at Fairbury and had & wife and three children. He had no property, though he carried a $2,000 life in- surance policy, payable to the wife and sons. His domestic relations were said to have been pleasant. Harvester Offices to Consolidate. It is expeoted in the near future that the three harvester concerns in this city will consolidate and two of them pass out of ex- tence #0 far as Lincoln is coucerned. Just when the combination of local inter- ests is to occur is a matter of conjecture, except that it is understood that it is to come ®0on. One seemingly knowing in- e e ONLY A SUGGESTION. But It Has Pro of Interest and Value to Thousands. Common sense would suggest that it one ‘wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only result from the food we eat and digest, and that food should be albuminous or flesh forming food, like oggs, beefsteak, and ce- reals, in other words, the kinds of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare. But the trouble is that while we eat enough and generally too much, the stom- ach, from abuse and overwork, does mot properly digest and assimilate it, which is the reason so many people remain thin and under welght; the digestive organs do not completely digest the food forming beef- steak and and similar wholesome food. There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular pain or inconven- fence from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their prejudices @side and make a regular practice of taking after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly &nd thoroughly digested, because these tab- Jets contain the natural peptones and dia- tase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to reach its natural tone and vigor, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh forming food—meat, eggs, bread and potatoes—and this is the reason they so quickly bulld up, strengthen and in- vigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and ehildren. Invalids and children, even the most deli. eate, use them with marked benefit as they contain no strong, irritating drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles, because it is the most reasonable and scientific of mod- ern medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United States and Canada as well as in Great Britain, at 5 nts for complete treatment. further is required to cure any " trouble or to make thin, nervous Ppeople strong, plump and well dividual says ‘“very soon.” It s under. stood that when it comes the present M- Cormick headquarters at the cormer of Tenth and Q streets will be combination headquarters, and that Charles E.

There are at present two other harvesting companies that have agencles and representatives here. Byron G.

FREMONT, Neb.,, Oct. 81.—(Special.)— The political campalgn, which practically comes to a close today, has been conducted in this county principally on the personal canvass plan, and consequently has been quiet, though hard on the candidates.

NEW YORK, Oct. fL—After a struggle lasting eighteen months Willlam K. Van derbilt, jr., has succeeded in gaining per- mission to close the public highway leading to Lake Success, on his Long Island estate, near Hempstead. Falling to purchase the lake after acquir- ing his estate in and around that body of water, Mr. Vanderbilt asked for the lease of a strip of ground that forms the con- necting link between the old road and the waters of the lake. There was nothing of record to show that the board of trustees of North Hempstead ever acquired owner- ship of the disputed right-of-way to the lake save by use. The idea that Mr. Van- derbilt would stock the strem with fish and hold it as a private preserve raised much opposition. Previous to the eleetion a year ago he made an offer of $50,000 to the town for the, lake. It was determined to settle the ques- tion by the ballot. 8o intense was the feel- ing that the vote polled was more than that at the presidential election and the offer was rejected. Finally Mr. Vanderbilt appeared before the trustees and applied for a lease run- ning ninety-n'ne years, In return for which concession he proposed opening a road to the lake by another route. His opponents still refused to capltulate, but the matter was put to a vote of the board and he won.

VICTOR Btartling Affidavits te Prove Horn Did Not Kill Willie Niokell. NEIGHBOR'S SON POSES AS SLAYER Governor is Asked to Co tence to Life Imp; Plea that Detective is I cent 'of the Orime. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 81.—(Special Telegram.)—There were sensational devel- opments this afternoon in the case of Tom Horn, the range detective, who Is sen- tenced to be hanged on November 2 for the murder ot Willle Nickell, when his attorneys petitioned Governor Chatterton to commute the sentence to life imprison- ment. A large number of afdavits were submitted with the appeal, and in a num- ber of cases the afants charge that Tom Horn did not kill the boy. Miss Gwendoline Myrtle Kimmell, a school teacher, who lived at Iron Moun- tain when the crime was committed, but now of Kansas City, swears that Victor Miller, son of Nickell's nelghbor, confessed that he killed the boy. Ollle Whatman, an Iron Mountain ranche man, makes the same statement. Some persons who testified against Horn now swear that they were jobbed wit- nesses, and also swear that Horn's con- fession was @& put-up job, and that he really made no confession at all. Governor Chatterton has taken the ma ter under advisement, and will render & decision next week. While the appeal s strong, and has a tendency to create doubt, it is belleved the governor will refuse to interfere with the action of the courts, and Tom Horn, the friend of General Miles and Colonel Cody, scout and trailer, must hang No- vember 20. Nothing is being done at the county jail to prepare for an execution, and nothing will be done until the governor renders his deciston.

There comes a time to both men and women when sickness and poor health bring anxfety and trouble hard to bear; disap- pointment seems to follow every effort of physicians in our behalf, and remedies we try have little or no effect. In many such cases serious misttkes are made in doctor- ing, and not knowing what the disease is or what makes us sick.
