Group 3 Election Was Railroaded, Governor Claims Bankers Accused of Voting by Proxy in Naming Candi dates for Guarantee Fund Commission. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, June 14.—Charging that certain leaders in Group 3 of the Ne braska State Bankers association vot ed proxies wholesale "in line with tac tics of the old time political conven tions" in selecting three members for the guarantee fund commission, Gov rnor Bryan today asserted that, he would never again sanction such an election. The governor refused to divulge the names of those he charg ed were guilty of "railroading the election. The meeting of Group 3 was held at Norfolk several weeks ago. The banker, orginally named by Governor Bryan to serve on the commission, vas not re-elected despite strenuous efforts of the administration to put him on the list from which the gov ernor is to choose one to serve on the commission. ‘ Since the meeting I have learned of the tactics pursued at the election snd I’ll never again countenance such irocedure,” the governor said. “Those interested in electing certain men ob tained proxies from all absent bank ers and voted them in one solid bloc for their choice.” The three bankers selected, one of whom will be named to serve on the commission, are Rollie Leigh of Wayne; Jabe Gibson of Norfolk and Woods Cones of Pierce. The defeat ed Bryan candidate was C. C. Mc Leod of Stanton. Four other group meetings have been held and the last is to be held at Gering today. At all of these meetings, except the one at Norfolk, the election went to satisfy the gov ernor and his candidates were select ed. “There was nothing to object to at .he other meetings,” he said. Ten days after the Gering meet ing the governor must, under the law', eelect nn* of the three men chosen at each grow* meeting to serve on the state guarantee fund commis sion. Those serving at this time were named by the governor immediately after the bill was passed by the leg Mature pending elections by group meetings. The governor announced appoint ment of the following democrats to position* of state bank inspectors to fill vacancies which have occurred or will soon be forced: J. J. Tooley, Broken Bow; M. R. Sullivan, O’Neill; Department Commander of Spanish War Vets Gives Flag Day Statement Bruce J. Newlon, department com mander of the United Spanish War Veterans, Wednesday night Issued the following statement for Flag day: “Today Is Flag day. The Spanish American war veterans with all other good Americans, stand for the observance of this day by the man ner prescribed. It will do the hearts of every member of the United Sp;sn ish war veterans and ladies’ auxili ary who are in encampment in Oma ha today good to see the flags flying from every mast. Societies, organi zations and individual residents should set forth the colors today and pay them homage. "We of our organization are in ad dition to our encampment, celebrat ing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Spanish-American war, and to night at the Brandeis theater with the Elks we will hold Flag day exer cises. "The sight of the flag should al ways be a welcome sight, but today let us all remember again to repeat those words of Old Glory, that mean so much. ‘I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the republic for which it stands: one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.’” "Bruce J. Newlon, department commander. United Spanish war veterans.” W. A. Whisenan, adjutant, asks that Omahans unfurl the flag from flag poles, business blocks and pri vate residences today in observance of the occasion. Bryan's Proclamation, Dlncoln, June 14.—Declaring that the American flag represents equality before the law, a type of civilization "the superior of which is nowhere to be found,” Governor Bryan in a proclamation issued here recommended to the people of the state that the flag be displayed from all public buildings and homes in the state on Flag day Thursday. The next of the proclamation follows: "June 14 is now generally recog nized as Flag day. It is usually celebrated by display of the Amer ican flag. I thing it particularly sig nificant to display the American colors because of what they stand for. The flag represents the proposition ex pressed in the motto: ‘E Plurlbua Unum.’ It Is our national emblem and represents the nation composed of 48 great states, compact, cemented together and intended to be indis soluble; a nation with one constitution, to the support of which every officer from the least to the greatest is sworn to support and defend.” A. J. Barac, Petersburg: F. A. Boede ker, NehawkA. Tennis Shoes and Sulphur Exhibits in Theft Case A pair of tennis shoes, a revolver and a package of sulphur are the chief exhibits of the state in attempt ing to prove that Philip Miller, on trial yesterday on the charge of breaking and entering, stole 15 bags of grain from the bin of a farmer, F. C. Noyce, near Irvington, Neb. The arrest followed a series of thefts that aroused the community. Footprints leading from the grain bin are said to correspond with the tennis shoes belonging to Miller, while County Attorney Beal will endeavor to prove that sulphur is used hy chicken thieves to smother the fowls. Four New Bank Examiners Appointed by Gov. Bryan Lincoln. June 14. — Governor Bryan has appointed J. J. Tooley of Broken Bow, former head of the state banking department; M. R. Sullivan of O'Neill, former bank examiner; A. J. Barac of Peterburg and F. A. Boedeker of Nehawka to be state bank examiners. This brings the total number of state bank examiners to 13. Mark Spanogle Elected Head of Group 7 Bankers Special DUpatcli to Th« Omaha Be*. Scottsbluff. Neb., June 14.—Group I Keren of the Bankers association in cession at Geriug today nominated H. C. Peterson of Chappell. James T. Whitehead of Mitchell and W. S. Rod man of Kimball for the guarantee fund commission. Mark Spanogle of Bridgeport was elected president, J. T. Shields of Oshkosh; vice president; T. L. Green of Scottsbluff, treasurer, and Maurice Christianson of Sidney, secretary. The meeting next year will be held at Bridgeport.

Lincoln Highway Alive With Hikers on Way West Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Columbus, Neb., June 14.—Movie struck girls, waitresses hunting new jobs, hoboes, single men and floating laborers are passing almost dally through Columbus as hikers. All along the Lincoln highway from Man hattan to the Golden Gate there is scarcely an automobile tourist who is not asked from 10 to 20 times a day to give a lift to some man or woman. Two parties of automobile tourists traveling west from the eastern sea board said that in the course of four weeks journey from the east to the west, spending 24 days on the road in travel, they gave lifts to 192 hik ers, passing up many more. “The 192 we picked up,” said one of the men. “were by no means all that we passed. It would be safe to estimate that we picked up only one third of the hikers. Most of the Kiris range from 18 to 29, and the men from 18 to *0.” Hebron to Have Pageant Hebron, Neb., June 14.—Thirty-five school districts In the county have signified their intentions of entering floats in the historical pageant that will be given the last day of the Thayer county fair at Dcshler, Au gust 31.

Old Man Coyote sat at the foot of a tree and glared up at Littlest Bear. Littlest Bear, from a branch halfway up the tree, glared down at Old Man Coyote. No sooner had her sharp lit tle claws caught In the bark of that tree as she started to scramble up than she felt safe. She had never seen Old Man Coyote before, but some how she had known that he couldn't climb. Ho she glared down at him, pushed out her upper Up and went Old Man Coyote sat at the foot of a tree and glared up at Littleat Bear. "Woof, woof," just as she had seen Mother Bear do. As for Old Man Coyote, he was both angry and disappointed. At the Syrup Pepsin Loved By Hosts of Babies Bali ■ taaspoaafal will make a irctfal yaaafttcr happy aai playful THE mother has her choice of many remedies for her baby's minor ills, but she should be care ful which remedy she selects lest she do the child harm. What might be safe for herself may. do in jury to an infant. You will find that if the little one cries and doesn’t want to play that its bowels are con stipated. First look carefully to the diet and give the child one-half teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. You will then see results in a few hours. Y'ou will not have to force it on babies or children: they actually ask for it, it is so pleasant-taating and free from griping. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with agreeable aroma tics. The ingredients are stated on the package. It is a mild, gentle vegetable laxative that ev eryone finds effective and pleasant. It is better for you and yours than purgatives, coal-tar drugs, or salt ANY FAMILY MAY TRY IT FREE Thousands of parents are askinQ themselves, “Where ran I find a trust worthy laxative that anyone in the family can use when constipated?" / urae you to try Syrup Pepsin. I will gladly provide, a liberal free sample bottle, sufficient for an adequate lest. Write me where to send it. Address Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 515 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois. Do ti nor .' waters and powders, which may concentrate the blood and dry up the skin; or mercurial calomel, which may salivate and loosen the t^eth. Use a safe laxative like Syrup Pepsin, and especially for the children, for invalids, growing girls, nursing mothers, elderly people, and persons recently oper ated upon wno need bowel art ion with the least strain. Mrs. Lillian Brenington of Woodruff, S. C., always gives her children Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and Mrs. A. E. Blondin of .Muskegon, Mich., will not have any other laxative in her home. Your druggist will supply you, and it only costs a cent a. dose. Try it in constipation, colic, biliousness, flatulency, headaches, and to break up fevers and colds. same time he was uneasy. He felt that Littlest Bear was too small a Bear to have wandered very far from her mother. He was tempted to hide nearby and wait for Littlest Bear to come down, but he knew that if Mother Bear should come along he would be much better off somewhere else. So after snarling some dread ful threats at Littlest Bear, he turned and walked away with as much dignity as he could. ^ Littlest Bear watched him. As long as he was In sight she thought of nothing else. She was too excited to be lonesome. But after he had disap peared, Littlest Bear remembered her troubles, and after this narrow es cape they seemed greater than ever. It wasn't long before she was whim pering again. But Littlest Bear didn't come down from that tree. She didn't Intend to come down. That Is, she didn't In tend to come down for a long time. She meant to stay up there so long that if that dreadful fellow who had chased her up there should be hidden somewhere near he would grow tired and give up. 8he felt safe in that tree, and she knew she wouldn't feel safe on the ground. Having nothing to do but sit there in that tree, she had plenty of time to think how lone some and miserable she was. The more she thought about it, the more lonesome and miserable she became and the more she whimpered and cried. • Now it happened that shortly af ter Old Man Coyote disappeared, an other soft footed prowler happened along that way and heard the whim pering of Littlest Bear. A look of eager, hungry Interest came into a pair of savage, yellow eyes. Littlest Bear, happening o look down, saw them glaring up at her. She stopped crying. She didn't like the looks of those eyes, but she wasn't exactly afraid. Wasn't she safely up in a tree? The owner of those eyes came out in the open. He had only a stub of a tail, and that stub he kept twitch ing. Littlest Bear leaned over to watch him. She was glad she wasn't on the ground. The stranger, who was none other than Yowler the Bob Cat, did just what Old Man Coyote had done. He first made sure that Mother Bear was nowhere about. Then he came back to the foot of that tree and glared hungrily up at Littlest Bear. Littlest Bear pushed out her upper lip Just as she had done at Old Man Coyote. She didn't bke the looks of Yowler, bift still she wasn't much afraid, for Yowler was on the ground and she was up in a tree. And then Littlest Bear received a dreadful shock. Yowler the Bob Cat had started to climb that tree, and was coming up quite as easily as Littlest Bear herself had climbed it. <Copyri*h», 1*23.) Remarkable Tonie Brings New Strength to Thousands of Weak and Ailing Discovery of Lyko, the Great General Tonic, Gives Aid of Science to Run-Down People As you wtceh the crowd going along the street, how easy it is to see the difference in the people who make it up. Some are well, strong, vigorous, full of the vim and energy that win in social and business life. Others are weak, emaciated, lack ing in all that counts for power and success —mere nobodies in active affairs. And yet most of these run-dow a people could au«* ,y become well and strong if they would only h“lp Nature to restore their bodi.j to a normal condition. What they need is an efficient general tonic and regulator. If they will do what thousands of other people once weak and lacking in energy — now strong and well —have done, they will use Lyko to get on their feet again. It is simply amazing to read of the wonderful help Lyko has given to people who had become wom out in mind and body, many of them discouraged, hopeless of regaining their health and strength. Mr. Johnson, a resident of Kan sas City, was amazed at the way Lyko built up his run-down con stitution. He says, “When I began taking Lyko I was thin and gaunt, weighed only 130 pounds and felt a great lack of 'pep.’ Xow I weigh 14/ pounds, am full oi energy and never feel tired.’’ H Jenkins, of Chicago, Is an other to whom Lyko has meant renewed strength and vigor. The following is from his letter: "My business keeps me closely confined to the office and at a desk all day long. As a result, mv system be came all clogged up, I was always tired, rested poorly at night and grew nervous and irritable. I began using Lyko and now I am in fine shape again, feel cheerful, and am able to do much more work without fatigue or nervous strain." Mitchell Murray, of Missouri, 'ends a letter which says: "When I be0-an to take Lyko I was so weak I could hardly walk across the room. Now I am able to do a pretty fair day's work, and my neighbors are amazed at the effect." J. D. Miller of Chicago writes: "We have been using Lyko in our family and find It the best tonic for stomach and bowels we have ever used.” F. B. Barker of Florida is another who writes in praise of Lyko. He says: "My wife's health was all run down and she has greatly im prov-rd since taking Lyko.” Lyko is a scientific preparation containing pure medicinal ingredi ents each of which has a beneficial action on some part of the system. It has a mild but effective laxative action which gets rid of constipa tion. It also stimolatss a lary stomach to normal action and im proves digestion so that the body absorbs the full strength from the food. As many ailments come from a disordered digestive system or from a clogged up condition of the bowels, Lyko helps to remove one of the great causes of discomfort and illness. Certain ingredients in Lyko have a direct and beneficial action on the kidneys and liver; others give strength to the nervous system and prevent what is known as nervous fatigue and mental exhaustion. Practically every part of the body is helped to return to its full health • and strength by Lyko. And a healthy body means physical and mental power, magnetic personal ity, the appearance that brings ad miration and confidence. If you are frail, weak, suffering from a "breakdown” or if you feel inactive, lacking in energy, unable to compete with active people, if you look and feel old, let Lyko give you new vim and vigor. Donotdeiay. Begin at once. Let Lyko do for you what it has done for so many others. Lyko is sold by leading druggists. Ask your dealer for it. ■Ssii Manafactarin Lyko Medicine Company New Yerk Kansas City, Mas Lyko u for tale by all leading druggist*.
