During the day the house committee heard
the testimony of Adolphus Busch and Otto
Stifel, wealthy brewers; E. C. Brookmeyer,
who was Chairman Nledrlnghaus' confi
dential secretary, and a number of other
witnesses.
Adolphus Busch and Otto Stifel told prac
tically the same story regarding the $21,
000 contribution to "the republican state
campaign fund as was told to the commit
tee last night by Nledrlnghaus. They said,
as he had said, that their contribution was
a guarantee to meet a deficit and entailed
no promise of legislative favor for their
business Interests.
Otto Stifel in every way. eorroborated the
testimony of Adolphus Putsch. "I have not
yet paid the amount I guaranteed," he said,
"but I shall do so if 1 am called on." In
answer to a question he, declared he had
contributed to the fund for the city as well
as for the state campaign, giving $1.0U
before and, $l,0uo after the election.
After Mr. Stifel, Thomas K. Nledrlnghaus
appeared again befora the committee to
make a voluntary statement to the effect
that Richard C. Kerns and William II.
Thompson had both offered to guarantee
one-third of the amount of the committee's
deficit.

The report of the committee will be drawn
up at the meeting Monday In order that It

According to the republican members 'Of
the committee, who are In the majority,
the report will Include the stenographer's
transcript of the testimony taken at the
sessions, and will conclude with the state
ment that the commltte found nothing to
substantiate the charge of Representative
Grace that the mony was given by brewers
for the purpose of Influencing legislation.

SIZER SPENDS DAY IN CITY
Burkett's Political Manager Comes to
Omaha, bat Congressman Does
Sot Arrive.
13d R. Sixer, postmaster at Lincoln and
manager of Congressman Elmer J. Bur
kett's senatorial campaign, spent yester
day afternoon skirmishing around in
Omaha, but was not enough in evidence to
reveal the object of his mission, which
some who knew of his presence took to be
greeting Congressman Burkett upon his
return from Washington. Mr. Burkett,'
however, according to dispatches from the
national capltol, did not leave there until
Friday afternoon, which would render It
impossible for him to reach Omaha as
early as yesterday.
At Union Pacific headquarters, a place
where Mr. Burkett happens to be casually
acquainted, no one knew anything about

Omaha Warehouse Second.
There has been a very large misconcep
tion of the amount of tonnage handled at
the Indian warehouse in Omaha, or else
someone has deliberately misrepresented
conditions. Today Indian Commissioner

nage handled last year by the Indian
warehouse at Omaha to Senator Millard,
for the purpose of being used by the sena
tor In connection with his effort to raise
the amount of the appropriation for the
Indian warehouse when the Indlnr) bill Is
talcen up In the senate. As compared with
the other Indian warehouses Omaha, In the
amount of tonnage handled, was exceeded
only by Chicago and was five times as
great as that of St. Louis, the tnnnnge at
Omaha last year being 3,313,302 pounds.

A body of Jkusalnn cavalry made a raid

They left fifty dead. One Japanese was
killed. The raiders, who crossed the- l.i.io
river Into neutral territory, are supposed
to number about 3.000 men. There was t-ome
Interruption of railroad coTinunl -a I n with

raid, but the damage was Immediately re
paired. The foreign attaches with the northern
army will proceed to Port AriTiur next week
by special train and spend a few days in
specting the town and forts.
The present winter ha, been phenome
nally mild, for this section. The weather
during the last fortnight has been unpre

times rising to 60 degrees (Fahienheit) and
seldom falling below 50. The nights have
been correspondingly worm. The Ice on the

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 14Although
the emperor'a regular New Year's recep

nary times marks the formal opening of the
gajr social season at the Russian capital,
was omitted, the ceremonious round of offi

tradition took place as usual and filled th
stru ts with animation. Sleighs of every
description, from the rich troikas and gor
geously equipped turnouts of the foreign
representatives to the little one-horse dros
kles of ordinary Tchlnovnlchs, calling upon
their chiefs, were skimming In every direc
tion over the gllatening snow. Beyond
these visits, however, there were no festlr.
Hies, society taking the cue from the
court and dispensing with the customary
gaiety. With every exchange of greetings
today came an expression of the universal
hope that the present year will be brighter
for Russia than the last. That note wa
struck by the newspapers, which unite In
voicing confidence that the New Tear wl'.I

International Syndicate to Construct
Railroad S.4MIO Miles Long.
PARIS. Jan. 14. Information from Brus
sels reaching the highest quarters hrrs
shows It Is the extensive Interests of K rig
Leopold In the Canton-Hankow railroad
which have passed Into the hands of rp
rrscntatlves of J. P. Morgan of New York.
Negotlaticns on the subject had been goln?
on for some time, ss It was contemplated to
combine French. Belgian and American In
terests so as to eventually cover the
Franco-Belgian concession for a line from
Peking to Hankow, thus making a con
tinuous line from Peking to Canton, ov r
2.50 miles, rutting from north to south
through the heart of populous China. Thn
extent of this project Is compared by those
familiar with tho negotiations with the
transcontinental lines connecting New York
and Snn Francisco. That portion of the
project relating to Peking and Hankow la
still In abeyance, but the French view ap
pears favorable to combining the Interests
so as to make a continuous route from the
capital to the great emporium In the south.
That portion relating to the Hankow-Can
ton railroad Is considered to have been
rinsed by the transference of the Interests,
of which the personal holdings of King
Leopold make up the largest part, to Mr.
Morgan. This branch of the negotiations
was conducted at Brussels. The concession
of the Hankow-Canton railroad was origi
nally American, and then pnssed under Bel
gian control. This line Is about 1,200 miles
long, and the extension to Frklng will be
about 1.400 miles, a total of 2.G00 miles, with
out counting the extensive spurs toward
Tientsin, Klao Chou and Shanghai.

PUTT1NQ IT STRONQ
lint Doesn't It Look Reasonable t
This may read as though we were put
ting It n little strong, because it Is gen
erally ll went byf the majority of people
that Dyspepsia In Its chronic form is in
curable or practically so. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia Is cura
ble, nor is It such a difficult matter as at
first appeals.
Tho trouble with Dyspeptics Is that they
are continually dieting, starving them
selves or going to the opposite extreme or
else deluging the already overburdened
stomach wlih "bitters." "after dinner
plllx," etc., which fnvaiiiibly 'Increase the
dlflieulty, even if In some cases they do
give a slight temporary relief. Such treat,
mont of the stomach simply makes matter
worse. V hat the stomach wants Is a rent.
Nmw how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at tho same time the body
nourished and sustained?
This Is a great secret and this Is ulso the
secret of the uniform succcms of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a comparatively
new remedy, but Its success and popularity
leave no room as to Its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food anyway,
regardless of condition of stomach. The
sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to di
rections, Is to eat an abundance of good,
wholesome food and use the tablets before
and after each meal end the result will be
that the food will be digested, no matter
how bad your Dyspepsia may be, because,
as before stated, the tablets will digest
the food even If the stomach Is wholly In
active. To Illustrate our meaning plainly,
If you take 1,800 grains of meat, eggs or
ordinary food and place It In a temperature
of 08 degrees, and put with It one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, it will digest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as It
the meat was enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will be
properly nourished and at the same, time
a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will
be made because the much abused stomach
will be given, to some txtent, a much
needed rest. Your druggist will tell you
that of all the many remedies advertised
to cure Dyspepsia, none of them have
given no complete and general satisfaction
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
least In Importance in these hard times Is
fhe fact that they are also the cheapest
and give the most good for the let money.
