Law of Itliinrlnti II 1 14 ! t x.
The Crawford company litigation from
Dawej county, Involving tho law of riparian
rights, Is again beforo (he supremo court
on a motion for a rehearing. Two decisions
adverse, to tho Crawford company have been
g!vcn by tho court, but, In polite, yet vigor
ous language, a third hearing is naked for
nnd In support of tho motion a lengthy
brief hns been filed. Aside from tho legal
points Involved In tho case tho attorneya
for tho Crawford company contend thut
tho decision of tho court. If allowed to
stand, will seriously Injure Irrigation In
terests In NnbraBkn.
Tho case Is being fought for tho Craw
ford company by Judge Hamer of Kearney.
In beginning his. brief ho thanks tho court
for tho courtesies shown and for tho con
siderate attention It has given his many
efforts, nnd continues:
"Wo do not know how to mako a state
ment of this kind without making It In
plain and direct language, and at tho samo
tlmo wo dcslro to say that ve have n'o in
tention to put anything offensively. It Is
so very hard to put In writing a criticism
without exciting antagonism. Judges may
bo quite as sensitive as' lawyers nnd their
fowcr to express resentment Is much In
creased, by reason of their authority to
tmbody the'tr' ttftaripr66alon'rnlthe,lr judg
ments. No ono can afford to quarrel with
this court, and least of all do wo deslro
to do so, but we desire to express a most
emphatic disapproval of the opinions of ho
chief Justice. Wo think that they vtolato
every principle of equity Jurisdiction and
tint they are wholly without precedent and
most disastrous and far-reaching In their
effects."
Tho brief nsserts that tho only adequate
Kourcp of water supply for tho citizens

In accordance with n license Issued by tho

below the fort and bolow tho city of Craw
ford, two mills were constructed and wero

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tahleta.
Thore Is a cure for dyspepsia. Sufferers
who have tried noxious nostrums will prob
ably be skeptical but skepticism vanishes
when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tried.
Whether the trouble Is dyspepsia ot long
standing, or merely a simple case ot Indl
cemlon, relief Is prompt and pronounced
The less tbo troublo tbo fewer tablets need
bo taken.
Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as
Indicated by belching, fatigue with slight
exertion, or with no exertion at all, dls
turbed sleep, nervousness, constipation, de
pression, "blues," these things can com
monly be set down 8 symptoms ot dyspep
sla. And dyspepsia Is merely Indigestion
in an aggravated form.
By promoting perfect digestion, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets produces strong nerves,
restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and
good sound healthy flesh. They make the
skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheer
ful.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a tnedt-
clue and moro than a medicine. They dl
gest tho food and make it easy ot assimila
tion, and they relievo the inflamed, diseased
condition ot the membraneous linings and
tho glands of tho stomach nnd bowels,
Thoy help tho digestive organs over the
hard places, and put them luto healthy,
active condition. They effect ft quick and
permanent cure. You don't have to con
tinue taking them forever, still it Is well
to havo a box handy and tako one at tho
first return of tho trouble.
Perfectly well people are mado sick jy
eating too much, or unwholesome food, but
not If they take a tablet after eating. Treat
mcnt with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets does
not necessitate dlotlug or nuy chango of
Habits. They digest the propor food and
act upon tho other kind In such a way as to
make It pass oft quickly and harmlessly
You may eat and drink what you like, when
you like, and as much as you like If you
take a tablet afterwards.

NOHTH PLATTE, Neb., April 23. (Spe
clal Telegram.) Harry Hlce, chief of police,
was found dead at tho cemetery today.
As ho did not come down town ns usual
today, his friends were uneasy and ns the
hours patsed and he did not put In an ap
pearance, this uneasiness gave way to
alarm. Search was Instituted for him, sev
eral parties hunting In every direction,
but without avail. Finally tho sheriff wns
notified ota his disappearance and ho wns
asked to make a acarch. Pcoplo were found
who had talked with Rice early In tho
morning nnd they reported that he had
told them ho did not want to live any
longer, and even showed them what Is now
mipposed to have been a package ot poison,
which ho said would do the business. He also
handed to ono of them a document, which
purported to be his will nnd asked him
to tako charge of It till needed. Acting
on this information, the sheriff with other
partl23 instituted a thorough search, with
the rehiilt that he was found In the ceme
tery, a short distance from his wife's grave,
between 12 and 1 o'clock,
The supposition is that some tlmo dur
ing the forenoon he wandered out to the
cemetery, sat down near his wife's last
resting place, and took tho poison, with
which ho had provided himself.
Wlu 11 found he was lying on his back,
his vest partly unbuttoned, his lips and
cai-3 being considerably discolored. He had
evidently mado an attempt to reach the
pump to get a drink of water, for ho had
dragged himself about sixty feet in that
direction.
About 12 o'clock Enoch Cummlngs and
a man named Johnson, were passing through
the cemetery, saw him sitting on his wife's
gravo nnd conversed with him. They ob
served ilmt something was wrong, spoke
to mm about It nnd asked him If ho wanted
water. He replied that ho felt aa though
ho was partly paralyzed and might uced
little water later. Tho probability Is
that when seen by these men ha had al
ready taken the poison, nnd that tho twitch
ing of tho muscles, which they observed
wns caused by tbo poison already acting on
the system.

of tho rioard of Education. Ho was an old
