(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 2. (Special.)-Thls after
noon Freight Agent McQInnls ot the Northwestern-
appeared before the stale board to
x plain how the earnings of the Nebraska
fritleage were allotted, and Incidentally to
tell the board that the road Is In hard
Enea because Its traffic Is almost entirely
ical. The main specification In the query
llrected at him was the charge of Treas
urer Mortensen that, while the Nebraska
rates are much higher than those east of
Uie river, the net earnings of $1,400 a mile
reported to the board are determined by
ro rating the receipts on the through
(uslness according to the mileage without
(taking such allowance.
Mr. Mortensen cited, as an Instance, the
fact that the rate from Norfolk to Omaha
Is as great as the charge from the river
to Chicago, and yet, he estimated, the
allowance of the earnings to the Nebraska
mileage would be only one-sixth of the
total. McGtnnls said that while that may
be the truth, the through business Is only
about 11 per cent of the total. He said
that nearly all the business was done with
Missouri river points, so that the question
' is to the distribution of net earnings did
' not enter. He cited one Instance of coal
ihtpments from Iowa where the rate from
Dmaha to York was $1.20, as compared with
1.06 for the haul from the mine to Omaha,
twice the distance covered In the Nebraska
haul. He explained the absence of Inter
nal business over the lines as due to
Ihe fact that ' the, Nebraska mileage, the
Fremont ft Elkhora Valley was originally
practically an Independent Nebraska line,
which led merchants and dealers to form
;nnnertlons with Lincoln, Omaha and
ioya,v
' Illinois Central Appears.
Tax Commissioner W. L. Tarbet of the
Illinois Central appeared before the board
with reference to- the assessment of the
terminals of that line. He said that the
anglble property might be assessed, but
uestloned the right of the board to place
Iny valuation on the Intangible property,
lecause the lines of another corporation
ire used. He also raised the point that
the use of the terminals into Omaha had
resulted In a net loss.
The board will meet again Wednesday
nt t o'clock to listen to representatives
of the Great Western with reference to
l he value of the terminals, elevators and
other property of that line at Omaha.
Not Much of an Increase.
The board likely will not make any con
' clderable Increase in the total assessment
, of the railways, notwithstanding the story
that ft would be raised from $46,000,000 to
$60,000,000.. The sentiment among the mem
bers' ot the majority favors an increase
In the Union Pacific to correspond to
the Improved value, but there Is a stumb
ling block in the way of such action in
Ihe demand of Land Commissioner Eaton
that the Burlington be given similar treat
ment, and the majority believes that the
iter line was assessed at about the right
Vure last year. Treasurer Mortensen,
ho would be the leading spirit In any
lovement for such a large Increase, con
ends that .the assessment made last year
meets me jiudiiq aemnnu.
Within a week or ten days the board
Is expected to reach a final decision. Sev
eral tentative estimates have been framed
by various members, both on the basis
tf tha stock and bonds, and net earnings,

HOMER, Neb., May 29. -(Special.) The
ever present bootlegger, not to be outwit
ted by the closing of th saloons In this
nlace to the detriment of his business. Is
now resorting to other methods to supply
Indians with whisky against the laws of
the stat of Nebraska, which provide that
It Is a misdemeanor to sell liquors to In
dians, and th United States law, which
provides a penalty for taking Intoxicating
liquors upon an Indian reservation. So bold
have some of th bootlegger be com in
taking liquors upon the reservation to sell
to Indians that It has resulted in the In
dictment by the United States federal grand
Jury now In session at Omaha of John
Lulkhart and Logan Lambert on the se
rious charge of Introducing liquors on an
Indian reservation. They were placed under
arrest at their homes on the Winnebago
reservation yesterday afternoon by Deputy
United States Marshal John F. Sides of
Dakota City and taken to that place by
the marshal to be taken to Omaha to
answer to the charges against them before
the court now In session. Lulkhart Is
cousin of Ed Lulkhart, a former partner
of Sherman Etinls, ex-saloon keeper of this
nlace. who is now under indictment of
selling liquor to Indiana
Lambert, the other prisoner, is the thug
of this place who assaulted Rev. Father
Schell at Dakota City about twa months
ago, breaking his Jaw in two place and
who Is now at liberty on $1,000 bonds to
answer at the coming session of the Da
kola county district court to the charge of
assault with Intent to commit groat bodily
Injury.

and th tangible property. No attempt
ha yet been made to reach an agree
ment, although It Is generally understood
that as regards the general total the
members are pretty much of the same opin
ion. As Indicated several days ago, there
is a sentiment favoring a decrease In the
minor branches of the Purllngton, and In

Union Pacific.
Mat Buy and Sells I.and.
During the past few days the state has
purchased twenty acres of land south of
the penitentiary at $100 an acre, and will,
probably, within a few days take 200 acres
mora at the same price. To secure the
funds, penitentiary lands In Seward and
Lancaster counties are being sold under
the authority of an act passed by the
recent legislature.
Ijast week In Seward county two tracts
totaling 320 acres were sold for $8,900. One
quarter section brought $31 and another

are looking for some untried methods to
supply booze to the Indians, of which the
following are a few,
The bootlegger will have a five or ten
gallon keg of the poorest known whisky
shipped here to him or will purchase the
same at Sioux City at a cost not to exceed
$1 a gallon. After receiving It Mr. Boot
legger both adulterates it and doubles it
to twice its original quantity, and then hav
Ing previously provided himself with
number of "Old Crow," "Belle of Ken
tucky," "Ouggenhelmer," and other well
known brands of whisky blown In the
bottle, fills them up with his diluted fire
water and sells them out to the poor red
skin at from 13 to S a bottle, the Indian
believing that he has washed out his throat
with the same quality of boose that his
white-faced brethren use. To make their
liquors In the bottle to more resemble the
original packages Mr. Bootlegger takes the
tinfoil off of tobacco and neatly placing It
over the cork ties It there with a colored
string and there you have it any old
brand you want out of a barrel at $S per
quart.
W'lnnebagoe Are Danclnsr.
For the last three weeks the Winnebago
Indian have been indulging in a' 'Scalp
dance," which' takes place every night of
the week on the reservation. Bootleggers
have been taking advantage of this gather
ing of the Indians and It Is reported that
as high as $100 has been taken In on one
Krause and W. H. Whltneck. Still an
other lot of 860 acres at Sprague In Lan
caster county will be sold In a few days.
b'lt it Is better land, and Land Commls
sloner Eaton said that a better price would
be received. He estimates that the 680
acres will bring $23,000 Into the hands of
the state board, to be used In the pur
chase of land near the penitentiary, which
can be farmed .with the aid of convict
labor.
The small area capable of this use at the
penitentiary has made It necessary for the
state board to rent about 200 acres, for
which $5 an acre has been paid. The state
land sold has been bringing only $680 a
year. The sales are made at advertised
publlo bidding, but the purchases are made
at private sale, the board having an
option on a tract adjoining the prison.
The deal was made through M. W. Fol-
som, a Lincoln real estate agent.

You?
No need to get mad now, tear up the paper, or shout
"nonsense, good coffee never hurt anyone.'
You know better than that for you can point out
all around you folks who are the worse for coffee's
slugging. Think over a few coffee-drinking, friends
and casually enquire if they are entirely and perfectly
well and just how coffee treats them.
If it hurts others isn't it just possibb?
Catch the drift, don't you?
In fact after you have studied the matter a bit it
will come plain that if you are a coffee drinker the
chances are you already have some form of incipient
or perhaps fixed organic disease due entirely to the
coffee constipation, rheumatism, eye trouble, nervous
headaches, nervous prostration or others of the well
proven coffee ails. You can decline to look the thing

A Sure Personal Test
will locate the exact cause of your steady destruction
of health, if that cause be coffee. It's worth knowing
the plain, sober fact before fixed organic, heart or
other disease sets in, which perhaps cannot be cured.
The test is pleasant, accurate and satisfying.
Quit coffee absolutely for 10 days and in its place
use Postum.
BE SURE the Postum is properly boiled as per
directions on pkg. (and that's easy) then you have the
famous Food Coffee, with the deep seal brown which
turns to rich golden brown when rich cream is added
and the flavor is crisp, snappy and soft like the high
grades of Old Gov't Java.
If in two or three days you begin to sleep soundly
at night, digest your food better, stomach and bowels
show signs of recovery, or the old feeling of weakness
at the heart leaves, or eyes get stronger and, head
works clearer, (the ails of coffee drugging are multi
tudinous) the facts will be before you and
