WILJ.lt MT MAK.K A FIGHT
Mat A cease ef Selling Mortgaged
Property Arajalttrd.
O'NEILL. Neb., Jan. 4(SneciaI.)-After
a nearly all day's work in securing a jury
In the now almost famous Willis cje, and
after one wl'.ncsa had teUfiecl. lmtrict
Judge liarringtcn, on motiin of the prose
cuting attorney. Instructed the jury to
bring In a verdict of acqultral.
Some two years ago James VT. Wilha
mcvetl to thia county from Tork cuunty,
this state, having traded his Tork county
larm for one of the Holt county ranche
Willis ia rather an tccentrlc pe.raon and
when not otherwise ergaged he sometimes
preaches, which he did often in ilolt
countj-. About a jmr or m ire ago he
bought some atot k from Scott A Iav;dson
cf Ainswonh. at which time Willis gave
his note u the firm, due In six mcnths.
aiiJ a chattel mortgage on the, slock pur
chiicd to bet-ure the note. When the pete
nas due it was renewed, but In the mean
time Scott & Iavlaon had dissolved part
nership, and the nw note was given to
Iaidaon, the successor of the firm of
Bcott Lavidson. Soon thereafter Willis
sold the stoca and I'avidson, hearing of
the sale, promptly had Willis arrested ior
selling mortgaged propert y. Willis waa the
most indignant man ever seen In Jafl. He
consldtred It such an outrage that he de
clined offcra of bail. While in Jail here
Willis entertained the tomn by Finging old
time camp meeting -ongs. His olee was
strong and he easily made himself heard
all over town. Naturally his singing at
tracted attention to his case. After lying
in jal! a while Willis linajly employed At
torney W. K Harrington to defend him.
Willis maintained all the time that he had
a written agreement commissioning him to
sell the stock, but claimed he had lost it,
and eays It ww his full Intention to pay
I'aviduon all he owed him before ba u
arresled, but that Davidson did not give
him time to get the money to hira before
ha had him arrested. It appears that Wlllm
hud the agreement allowing him to make
the sale with the senior member of the
ftrrt, but he was not able to locate him in
time for the preliminary hearing. When
the jury was ready for the cae the first
witness was William Scott of the former
firm, and his testimony was to the effect
that he had given Willis a written commis
sion to sell -the stock, which let the case
fall flat. Willis now is considering the ques
tion of turning the tabbies on Davidson and
saja be will hold him responsible for hav
ing him arreeted and confined in jail, and
the end of the case appears to not be In
Bight as yet. Mr. Davidaon says that the
first he knew of any such a commission
to sell the stock wua when William Scott
testified to it in the hearing. Willis ha
not aa yet trot over being indignant by any
mean and Kays that he la in the fight to
a finish. He eaya that when the newa waa
heralded over the state that be had been
arrested for selling mortgaged property
that his good name waa injured Irreparably,
that when he meets his old friends they
eye him with suspicion, as though he waa
a criminal, and that he is indignant beyond
expression by a Christian jnan.
Other cases to lie tried during this ses
sion of court are an alleged horae stealing
case and an alleged burglary cape of two
young men accused of entering a hardware
store nt Page some weeks since.

Mate Waats Premium Paid oa board
W arrant a.
. BEATRICE, Neb.. Jan. 4. (Special Tele
gram, i By direction of Governor Mickey.
Attorney General Prout as one of his last
official acts today brought suit against
former Adjutant General L. W. Colby in
the district court of Gage county to re
cover the premium on warrants paid Gen
eral Colby during his official term, of one
half of 1 per cent, aggregating J141.76. This
is brought as a test case and is only im
portant as It has a bnaj-ing on the pre
miums received by other state officers and
employes during the last ten years. It
seems that nearly everyone having state
warrants on the general fund has presented
them to the treasurer, had them registered
"not paid for want of funds" aud then sold
them to the state treasurer for the school
fund or some other person, receiving pre
miums ranging Irom one-half of 1 per cent
to an high us o or more per cent, or eiso
th wariant has been kept by the original
party as an Interest bearing investment.
General Colby waived the issuance and
service of summons and entered his volun
tary appearance in this case and the ques
tions involved are almost entirely legal.
The coriesnondetice between Governor
Mickey and General Colby Is quite inter
esting a explaining the situation and the
factt. in general as well as the attitude
wh'ch General Colby has assumed in this
matter.

of the Douglas delegation does. The In
terest In this position arises In view of
the prospective revision in the city charter
of Omaha and in view, also, of these con
templated chtt-ces It Is believed the place
ought to go to some member from Douglas
county, but so far as Speaker Rouse is
concerned be declines to make publlo his
views In this matter.
Dodge would like to be chairman of the
house committee on privileges and elec
tions, because of the fact that he has
drawn and a ill introduce a primary elec
tion hill.
Clarke, the only practicing attorney In
the Douglas delegation, signifies a pref
erence for the chairmanship of the Judi
ciary committee, which, by the aay. went
to a Douglas county man two years ago
W. T. Nelson.
Sieaker Rouse announced today, after re
ceiving from each member a written state
ment of hl3 preferences in the matter
of committee and chairmanships, vthat he
would not give out any statement of his
intentions until he had thoroughly can
vassed (the situation and decided what to
do. The clerks are compiling the long list
of preferences with the respective names
and these probably will not be ready for
the spe-aker s use until late tomorrow.
Farmers Well Represented.
The Twenty-ninth legislature has fifty
seven farmers in it that is, counting stock
raisers us farmers. The house has forty
five farmers and two stockmen and the
senate six farmers and two stockmen. The
total membership of the two houses is 1U3,
loo in the bouse and thirty-three in the
senate. Therefore the farmers again are
in the majority and have the power to
shape legislation favorable to . their In
terests if they can stand together.
Two years ago there were fifty-five
farmers In the two houses. "
The house this year has eleven mer
chants and the senate three. Lawyers are
not so numerous in the Joint membership,
there: being just ten in the house and
eight in the senate. The Douglas delega
tion two years agu had several more law
yers than this year. Clarke in the house
and Thomas in the senate are the only
practicing attorneys this year from Doug
las county, though Dodge is a lawyer by
profession.
Bankers number six In the house and
four In the senate, and the remainder of
the membership is divided among real
estate men, physicians, druggists, one
dentist and two or three traveling men.

THE P05T DISCOVERY
A Revelation la Hamaa Foewi.
Previous to the discovery of the Post
process of changing the Btarchy part of
Wheat and Barley Into a form of sugar,
many people suffered from what is known
as starch indigestion.
That was shba-n by gas and all sorts of
stomach and bowel trouble (sometimes end
ing In appendicitis), brought on by the
undigested starch In wheat, oats, white
bread, cake, puddings, etc., etc.
Nature ultimately punishes anyone who
continually takes some medicine or drug
to smooth over or nullify bad conditions
of the body. The only safe way to cure
such is to correct or remove the cause.
Therefore It was plain to Mr.- Post, In
working out his discovery, that people who
show some weakness in digesting the
starchy part of food (a-hich is mucli the
largest part of all we eat), must be helped
by having the starch digested or trans
formed before helng eaten. And of course
the safest and truest aay to do this would
be to imitate nature and avoid all chemi
cals or outside and unnatural things. TJje
body digests the starchy food by the fol-lom-lng
process: first It Is mixed with the
moisture or Juices of the mouth and
stomach, then warmth or mild heat from
the loc!y groas or develops diastase from
the grain. Time is also an important
element and when all work together and
the human organs operate properly the
starch is alowly turned into a form of
sugar, as It must be before the blood will
absorb It end carry the needed energy to
different parts of the body. Of course If
the body falls to do Its work perfectly
trouble sets in.
So In the making of the famous food,
Grape-Nuts, moisture, a-armth and time
are the only things used to turn starch
into sugar, thus imitating nature and keep
ing the human food In original purity,
free from outside things and Just as Mother
Nature Intends It shall be kept for ad
vantageous use by her children. The food
is fully cooked at the factories, and Is
crisp and delicious with a little thick
cream pourtad over.
It can be softened for people with aeak
teeth, but la moat valuable to othera when
it must be energetically rhewed. thus
bringing doa-n the saliva from the gums
to go to the stomach and help direst the
entire meal, besides the use of the teeth
strengthens and preserves them. Nature
blesses the, parts of the body that are
used and not abused. T!rape-Nuts food
brings peace, health and comfort when
people are in despair from tr.o ails re
raiting Horn undlreitfS food.

It was a matter of Interest to the mem
bers that thee newspaper men should have
these statutes, lor the reporters by nid
of the statutes delve doan into the piles
of bills introduced, of whose actual pur
port the members are ignorant, and In
their papers give a cle-ar statement of what
the bill is, what It means, and here, with
out any special effort on our own part,
we get an Intelligent conception of the

GOSSIP AMOIG THE LEGISLATORS
Some Railroad Learlalatloa Likely
Uariagc tbe Session.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 4. tSpeclal ) With
the bouse dominated by men who are not
under corporate control and Jhe senate full
ot level-headed men, though it is claimed
a majority of them lean toward the cor
porations, some railroad legislation will be
proposed. Among the bills that probably
a ill be introduced will be one to compel the
railroads to hustle stock across the state
at a rate of from fifteen to twenty miles
an hour and stop the practice of delays in
livestock shipments
Another complaint against the railroads
Is the length cf time they take to get lum
ber into Nebraska and the may in which
they treat the dealer. Lumber is some
times on the road a month, with the dealer
unable to locate It. When It doea arrive,
unless it Is unloaded within forty-eight
hours the purchaser has to pay fl a day
damage.. Frequently the cars stack up
on the dealer and In many casea he has
bfeu unable to unload the cars a-jthtn the
prescribed time, and has had' to pay the
demurrage charges when it is all the fault
of the railroads Should a measure be in
troduced to regulate this evil It aill have
the support of the lumber dealers, who tao
years ago acre tied up alth the railroads.
William A. Meaerve. senator from Da
kota, Tbursnon and lew other counties,
Is expected to f irnisii considerable irnus--mint
for the other members ef the senate
before the srion Is over. M'. Mesrrve ht.s
rece-lvd aord that a delegation of Indians
intends to c-aK on him and ask him for some
needed legislation. It is customary for the
Indiana to take up their residence aith tbe
man upon whom they call and the other
senators are now looking for larger quar
ters for the man from Dakota.
C. B. Cr me will be named tomorrow Vy
Secretary ef State-.ieit Galushi lie cus
todian ef the leg.siative supplies. Mr. Crone
Is a business man from Red Cloud and a
personal friend cf the secretary of stale.
The official announce merit aill not be made
until the appointment is reported to the legislature.

HEYBURM DESIRES AS INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. Pubic land
frauds constituted a topic cf serious con
sideration et the White House today. The
situation In Or. gon and the developments
in the last day or two c-on-erning the al
leged frauds in l.aho both acre discussed.
Secretary Hitchcock was an eierly caller,
rem-iin'rg wit ti the president, however,
only a shut time. While it is known that
some pharos of the land cases acre dls-cusse-d.
the secretary did not s.e.y anything
at this time for publication. fn.itor Ful
ton of tr gon also had a brut ch:t with
the president about the Oregon cases. He
Is sincerely resentful of the action taken
ngainM h.s colleague, Se Tiati r Mitchell.
'Senator Mitch. II." said he. "is as Inno
cent of any base or criminal connection
with the land frauds in our state as any
man In Oregon. Senator Mitchell has be.ii
identified alih the great interests of our
stete for nearly a quarter of century.
He has worked sbiy. insistent'' and hon
otab'y to advance those Interests. Today
he Is a poor man. living in a couple of
little rooms here on a side street. I am
quite pitive that his Innocence of the
charges against him will be demonstrated
satisfactorily to all the world."
Senator llejt.arn Talks.
Senator Heyburn of Idaho talked 1 the
president about the bill he has prepared
providing for the federal corporation of
companies and concerns doing an inter
state business. He said also thHt he pro
posed, to try to obtain consideration In the
senate for the pure food bill and if suc
cessful aould have it made the unfinished
business of the senate.
As Senator Heylvurn left tbe White
House he aas asked what he had to say
regarding the land fraud exposures In his
own state.
"I always select my oa-n battlefields."
he replica. "Those who challenge me to
combat aould better be pretty careful
what they do. The efforts made to con
nect me with the frauds have no basis
whatever. A year ago. In the course of a
.speech concerning the Northern Pacific
land grants, I called the senate's atten
tion to land frauds being committed tn
Idaho. I stood ready then, and I stand
ready now, to assist the officers of the
government In ferreting out the criminals
and securing their punishment."
"No," continued the senator In response
to further inquiry. "I never acted as attor
ney for any of the people who are alleged
to be connected with the Idaho frauds. T
am no friend of theirs and they are no
friends of mine. We a-111 get to the bottom
of these frauds if I can bring about such
a result."
More Safearaards Atralaat Fraada.
To provide an additional safeguard
against publio land frauds, the general
land office Is seeking as far as possible to
have its special agents investigate every
land entry case before It passes to pat
ent. This policy, which already la In full
practice, has borne good results and pat
ents have been withheld wherever the
slightest ground for suspicion has been
found. The public land service was not
long ago divided Into nine Inspection dis
tricts, with an agent In charge of each.
In connection with the recent land-fraud
developments some Interest attaches to tbe
investigation of alleged fraudulent desert
laud entries In Montana in which special
agents have been engaged. Senator Gib
son of that state many months ago sent
two letter to the commiartoner of the gen
eral land office, forwarding complaints of
the citizens that there were frauds in this
class of entries. The matter was taken up,
and desert land entries since then have
been rigidly investigated. The complaints
were that the lands taken were not taken
in good faith, were not being irrigated, and
were not entered for cultivation purposes,
as required by law. It was stated at the
general land office today that the com
plaints were more general than specific; but
cases of this sort have been under investi
gation In Montana and elsewhere for scome
months.
There were no new developments here to
day In the matter of th Oregon land
fraeida.
