Tho railroads belong to the Mate and tho corporations that were sre ated by tho Mate uro running the rallroada for tho state, ns agents. And they are allowed to tax and col lect their pay from tho persons that use the railroads, under tho rules and laws of this state, based on the constitution of the United States, on qunl terms and without discrimina tion. The corporations that are running the railroad, for this state, as agent? are charging persons for traveling on Bald state roads 2 4-10 and 3 cents per mile, which is in direct violation of the rules and laws of this state, and the constitution of tho United States. . ! Therefore, I ask that the state legislature appoint a oommltteee to investigate the corporations that are running the railroads for the state, ns agents, and that they require the board of directors of said corpora tions to appear before them to show cause why the state should not take over the corporations that are run ning the railroads In direct violation of tho laws of the state and the con stitution of the United States. .Res pectfully submitted, L. II. LAWTON. Palisade, N'ebr. lllKUNtiTON COMPANY IS AFTIJi TIIK CASH That Hurlington railroad Interests made leases which they should not have made a no now wish to recovei tho money which they thus lost is the BUbstance of two suits tiled by the Chicago Hurlington and Quincy Rail-, road company In federal court in Lin coln. The Chicago Hurlington & Quincy Hallway company, it Is declared, while le:slrg the railroad company's lines on October r, 1903, gave the Duff Grain company of Nebraska City, a lease on certain premises there for twenty-five years for n con sideration of $5. The leasing com pany, it is further declared, on Feb. 27. 1917. gave the Dierks I.utnbe.r company of Lincoln a lease on proper ty in Lincoln in consideration of $5, the leaeso to terminate within one year of notification by the railroad. The railway company is declared Jo have turned back the railroad to tho railroad company July 1. 1907. The railroad company points out that both In Dierks anl Duff Kanes were not legal ut nil and that the firms tthourd pay for the advantages which the railroad granted them. It is ad mitted that tho railroad granted the leases in order to gain advantage over competitors in obtaining busi ness; that special freight rates were granted the leasing firms rltho the interstate commerce commmission later ruled that a railroad cannot charge any shipper rate:-, below the published tariffs. Tho Burlington wants the Duff lease which was to run for twenty five years, terminated and the Duff company forced to pay$64 5, which sum, it is declared represents a just rental for the land at $50 a year, up to October r. 1916. It asks Judg ment against the Dierks company for $5,548.34 with Interest at 7 per cent from May 29,1916. when the Dierks lease was termlnaeted upon proper notice. It is declared that $6. in was a just rental for the land used by the Dierks company. MIUACI.K.TIIAT Till UK . A HI" NOT MOKK.

The i er has held temporarily every non- opening was conducted with con.sid - table less ostentation than that which chaiacterUud the opening of the original bridge, although of equal commercial Importance. A few of the old timers of the cen- U..1 add western states recall the ' memorial dav nearly fifty rears ago when the old ''IlannnibaP" bridge , was thrown open to the growing i traffic, which was pushing Its way to , a great undeveloped territory beyond the Missouri river. This bridge was ! the first to overcome the natural bar ' rier formed by the great river. Trans Missouri traffic thus naturally grav ' itr ted to Kansas City which immedi- ately became tho principal outfitting' ; point and supply center for the great ' south west. The old bridge was projected as a j part of the plans of the Hannibal & i St. Joseph railroad to reach Kansas City. A branch line was constructed I from Cameron. Mo., under the name ! of the Kansas City & Cameron rail j road to a point opposite Kansas City 'on the Missouri river over which the ' old Hannibal bridge was built and afterwards opened concurrently with jthe railroad on July 3. 1869. These properties were later acquired by, and for many years have been oper- ated as integral parts of the Hurling 1 ton railroad. ; The new structure is located near by and on tho up stream side of the old brldgo. Ued rock supported con : crete piers carry the three double ; decked main spans over the stream. The lower deck supports a double ! track railroad. I'rlvisions are made ' on the upper deck for wagon traffic, which on the old single track bridge j was handled on the floored over rail road ties.

Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal be fore putting more food Into the Btom ach.
