. Better Acquainted Thaa
They Profess.
John Bernstein, who pleaded guilty to
blowing the Treynor bank vault, will not
be used a witness by the atate In the
trial of James Arthur, Bernstein's alleged
accomplice. To the surprise of everybody,
former County Attorney KUlpack, counsel
for Arthur, yesterday placed Bernstein on
the stand, he being the only witness In
troduced by the defense.
Bernstein's testimony was an attempt to
thoroughly exonerate Arthur from any
complicity In the attempted bank robbery.
He testified substantially as follows:
"I met Arthur for the first time the even
ing before the attempt to rob the bank
about nine miles northwest of Henderson.
It was about dusk. I was with two com
panions and Arthur was alone. We all four
continued west until we reached the Ar
thur Baar farm, where we entered the barn
and climbed Into the loft and hid In the
hay. During the night I and one of my
companions got up and left the other two
and went to Treynor, where we attempted
to rob the bank. We returned to the barn
and In the morning Arthur and I were
routed out, but my two companions were
rtrt H I I.i . i .. I v. 1 .1 in
' the hay. Arthur knew nothing about my
"trip to Treynor during the previous night.
The first Arthur knew about the bank af
fair was when several men overtook us on
our way to the Bluffs and arrested us."
He denied that he and Arthur had bean
arrested together In Omaha.
'The state will attempt to Impeach Bern-
steins evidence and officers from Omaha
will be placed on ' the Stand " Monday to
, show that Arthur and Bernstein were ar
rested together as vagrants shortly before
Christmas across the river.- The state also
expects to how that Bernstein served time
In. a Michigan penitentiary In 1899 under the
name of Fred Stewart.
The witnesses for the state were C. P.
Shreve. marshal of Treynor; Arthur Baar
and Robert McKlnxle, who formed the
posse which captured Bernstein and Ar
thur at the Pony creek crossing the, morn
ing following the attempted robbery of the
bank; Arthur Llmberg, Arthur Saar's hired
man, who Identified Bernstein and Arthur
. as the two men routed out of the barn loft
.In -the morning; Otto Baar, who Identified

place about 10 o'clock the night of the bank
robbery and asked the way to Treynor;
Thomas Flood, cashier of the bank, and
Sheriff Canning and Deputy Sheriff Wool-
inlan.
; Sheriff Canning testified that Arthur,
when questioned shortly after his ar-est,
claimed to have met Bernstein about two
' miles frbm Henderson, while they were
walking along the road, and they had been
together until their arrest.
. Clarence Hendrlx testified to having seen
Bernstein in Treynor about a month before
the attempted robbery, but his evidence
was stricken out on objection of the de
wood Opinion; W. C. Campbell, Harlan Tri
bune; P. B. Brown, Harlan Republican;

Kahler funeral on Saturday, the day on
which Mabel Scoffleld was killed. A work
man at the same livery testified that

WRANGLE OVER PRIMARY BILL
Three Senator Are Reported to
Have Signed Petition
Twice.
PIERRE, 8. D.. Feb. 25. (Special Telegram.)--The
senate session tonight ended In
a wrangle as an aftermath of the primary
election bill. In the report of the senate
committee Senators Casslll and Shober were
reported to have signed the primary peti
tion twice. They presented a resolution of
personal privilege in which the rules com
mittee of the senate was attacked, and de
manded an opportunity of explaining why
their names did so appear on the petition.
Laws on objected on the ground that the ex
ecution was out of order. He urged that the
matter was not a proper question of privi
lege and that they were simply taking an
opportunity to play politics. This called
out responses from Casslll and Rice, and
Abel stated that the senate was willing to
hear .the explanations, but the resolution
as presented was a reflection on the com
mittee and the majority of the senate which
voted to Indorse It. The president ruled
that the resolution would not be celved,
for tthe reason that the committee merely
stated a fact, but that explanations of dup
lication of names would be In order. Shober
Insisted and appealed from the ruling with
a motion to adjourn on the part of Law
son, and the session ended in a general
wrangle, with Rice, Lawson, Toy and the
president mixed up and which came near
ending In a personal encounter between Mc
Quillan and Rice after adjournment.
The report of the committee on the cap
itol building bill was received, and an at-
8. C. Hartrauft, one of the faculty, has
been mentioned as a possible successor to
Mr. Koehler.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE
Interesting Experiment In a
Restaurant.
An advertising agent, representing
prominent New York magazine, while en
a recent western trip.-was dining on even
ing in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper ' and noticed - the ad
vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
As be himself waa a regular user of tha
tablets, be began speculating as to how
many of the other traveling men in ths
dining room were also friends of the popu- l
tar remedy for Indigestion.
He says: I counted twenty-three men at
the tables and in the hotel office; I took
the trouble to Interview them and was sur
prised to learn that nine of the twenty
three made .a practice of taking one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
. One of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one .
Urns be had been obliged to quit ths road, '
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
bad been entirely free from indigestion, but
ha continued their use, especially while
traveling, on account of irregularity in
meals and because like all traveling men
he waa often obliged to eat what he could
get and not always what he wanted.
Another, who- looked the picture Of health,
said he never, au a meal without taking a
Stuart Tablet afterward because hs could
eat what he pleased snd when hs pleased
without fear of a sleepless night or any
other trouble.'
Still another used them because hs wss"
subject to gas on stomach, causing pressure
on heart and lungs, shortness of breath
and distress In chest, which hs no longer
experienced sines using the tablets regu
larly. Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was ths only safe remedy be had
ever found for sour stomach and aeldtty.
Ha had formerly used common soda to re
lieve ths trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer to use. , .
After smoking, drinking or other excesses
which weaken the digestive organs, nothing
restores tha stomach to a healthy, whole
some condition so effectually as Stuart's
Tablets.
Stuart's. Dyspepsia- Tablets contain tho
natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which
every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux,
hydrastln and yellow paiilla, and can bs
safely relied on as a radical curs tor every
form of poor digestion. Hold by aruggtelsj
everywhere. ,
